UNBROKEN - Five Nights At Freddy's [FNAF] Original Song - by Man on the Internet ft. Alex Beckham

My moral compass leaving my body when the bad guy starts singing a catchy song

y'all he's boutta drop the entirety of the fnaf lore

I like to think all the "children never listen" lines are intentional references to his children- "told it's rude to stare" for Elizabeth because she didn't heed his warnings, "parasitic like a pox / always causing problems till you stuff them in a fox" for Michael, the black sheep of the family who wears a Foxy mask and ends up being William's greatest enemy, and "seen and never heard/always crying out" for Evan because he's the crying child whose identity remains somewhat of a mystery.

"Children never listen when they're told it's rude to stare. always causing problems till you stuff them in a bear." The lyrics is smooth yet terrible- it sounds exactly like a psychopath playing down his crimes.

Alex turned Afton from a undying horror monster to a charismatic Disney villain. At least that's the vibe I get from this song.

Afton’s constant references to the “deserving” make him come off as even more villainous. He’s not doing this out of anger, fear, or even greed. He simply believes that he deserves to live forever, and considers his victim’s lives as a trivial cost. And as he loses more of his family to his own creations, he creates more living robots with remnant to “replace” them. His obsession with immortality going to the point of making a computer virus to infect people with his ideals.

"Its soo clear to me! In my immortality! That an AFTON'S name shall be FORRRE-E-E-EEVERRRRR!!" I love that so much

Dude, "till you stuck them in a [insert animal]" lines are so cold i literally froze in shock lol

This song is perfect for how William was written in The Silver Eyes with his whole immortal family of the haunted robots thing. Easily one of the most unique FNaF songs I've heard of late.

I honestly love this, it feels like William doesn’t really think of his crimes as crimes, where in some songs, he’s on about being the bad guy. Here, he really does believe he’s in the right.

I love that his boasts about the Afton name are clearly self-aggrandizing, but the specific points he refers to can be applied to Micheal. Its that perfect dramatic irony that makes the stage show-esque performance work

You understand William Afton better than like at least 65% of the FNaF fandom lol. Awesome song, perfectly encapsulates William Afton as a villain.

I had a ton of fun composing the instrumentation for this. Alex is a dream to work with, he came up with the base melody, and his vocal performance is stellar as William Afton.

I love that William doesn't include the "Until you stuff them in a bunny/rabbit." because he gets stuffed in one. "For the low price of a child." and proceeds to kill like 6 on purpose.

Fun facties. Afton could qualify as a Lich in offical D&D. I personally find that infinitely funny.

3:05 Love the slow transition of the lyrics going from blue mixed with purple, to completely purple. Kinda symbolizes William shedding whatever humanity he had left.

I got to say, if this was not an original song I would think this was Afton's theme. The hard mechanical sounds combined with the soft whimsical chimes fit with Afton's theorized personality, which are pretty clear on what they have to be to be a child murder. And the Alex does an awesome job at singing as well. Overall great job

Now THAT'S what I call a fundamental understanding of what makes William Afton so terrifying, to the point where I am willing to say that it uses him better and makes him scarier than the FNAF games ever did! At this point, Afton has degraded into a joke of a villain in the games. He's not scary anymore. He's just kinda...there. His line "I'll always come back", which encapsulates what makes him so scary, has become little more than a punchline about how many times he's appeared throughout the series. At a certain point, he stopped being a character, and turned into a set piece, something that will, without a doubt, make an appearance at some point in the game, and that repetition, along with how much his character has degraded, takes away everything that made him scary. And yet, somehow, like the soul of a dead child, this song brings Afton back to life! This song perfectly shows why he's so scary! It shows his thought process as to why he's justifying what he's doing, it shows his descent into madness, and how deceitful and persuasive he can be. And that's just what the vocals accomplish! The music itself gives the feeling of being lost amongst machinery, or in an arcade. Combined with the vocals, it feels like Afton is chasing you down, and it really makes him feel like a genuine threat! And that's not even touching on rhymes like "Saccharine cacophony that masks the living battery", or the use of what sounds like bells giving an ominous, almost spiritual tone to the first bit of the song, or how powerfully every lyric is delievered! There's so much to go into here, and it's all amazing. Bravo, and congratulations!

The line “Cut them down to forge forever” is so raw and I love it.

Kinda weird to think that even after all these years, THIS is MOTI's first original song.
