The Way I Was Before - Kikuzig ft. MIKU & DEX

Music, Lyrics, & Video: Kikuzig Vocals: Hatsune Miku V3 English and DEX SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/kikuzig/the-way-i-was-before-kikuzig-ft-miku-english-and-dex "The Way I Was Before" is a duet between Miku English and Dex. Prior to meeting, Dex was disinterested in keeping up with his personal hygiene, and Miku was not fond of being social. In addition to being a cute love song, this song promotes what a healthy relationship looks like; the other person helps you to grow as your own person + vice-versa. The simplistic video subtly and briefly touches on contemporary issues, such as the importance of tipping your server, "pink tax," and pollution. The lyrics are a contribution to the normalization of males wanting to spend time on their appearance. Watch out for various scenes where Miku, too, breaks gender norms. Lyrics: [DEX] I always throw on sweatpants and a hoodie and I'm set [MIKU] I always stay inside and play here on the internet [DEX] I shower twice a week and sometimes wear deodorant [MIKU] I'm bad with people, don't know how to talk to them [BOTH] But for the first time, I wanna try [DEX] I don't know what to buy It's been a while since I went shopping I am so...
