Wish Maker (Megamix) - Explanation

RaidAr · Wish Maker (One-Shot Megamix)

Why did I make this?

I made this mix in particular for a couple of reasons, other than to continue the "You" saga of mixes.

I wanted to finally make the wish to finally be with the person I've wanted for years, the same person that is depicted in all of the "You" saga.

This mix als0 includes quite a few songs that she is familiar with. When creating the You Explaination, I have been collecting songs that we were sharing each other leading up to the whole mix saga, dubbed "The Prologue." In the inspiration of the Prologue, I have mixed in songs that we had both traded.

When reading the explanation, I will highlight what songs were shared by who, with 💙 and ❤️ for me and her, respectively.


About the Cover Art

Like in the previous covers of You and the Journey to You, red posies are placed throughout the cover art to show true passion and beauty that transcends time. The water in front is a representation of me finally coming across the river as explained in the Journey to You explanation.

Another fun fact, in real life, we both are fans of the Pokémon series, and in the mythos (and Pokédex entries) of the Pokémon Jirachi, Jirachi is known as the Wish Maker Pokémon, and from the official Pokédex entry:

💬
A legend states that Jirachi will make true any wish that is written on notes attached to its head when it awakens. [...]
💬
Jirachi will awaken from its sleep of a thousand years if you sing to it in a voice of purity. It is said to make true any wish that people desire.

Although I am not much of a singer, I can use my art of music to invoke a voice of purity, which is depicted in the mix as a whole.

In addition to the purity, the alternate cover for Wish Maker, known as "Wish Granted" invokes the sun rising with the wish being fulfilled by Jirachi. Also, she in the cover is holding hands with the viewer.


Song Selections

Shiver - John Summit & HAYLA

🎙️
In the darkness
Collide in the night
I was heartless
Until my soul came to life

And I feel it now
Want this forever
And I feel it now
You make me shiver
And I feel it now
Want this forever
Can you feel it now?
You make me shiver

She makes me shiver, near tears when I saw her in person after a long time. Up into this mix, I re-met her again in real life. I felt shivers. It was intense for someone I had, and currently have, powerful feelings for. And it was STRONG. Still to this day.

In Your Arms (For An Angel) - Topic, Robin Schulz, Nico Santos, & Paul van Dyk

When I saw her face again, the piano notes from the original For An Angel started to play, because she was real and not something behind a digital persona of pictures. I was so elated.

Language - Porter Robinson

I wanted a song that felt like a dream world. I imagine her being the brightest light I have been searching for all of my life. In a beautiful landscape, but the true beauty was her all along. Language was the song for that.

Additionally, I even added an adlib part in here:

🗣️
It was at this moment,
from finally finding you, a reference to You
and embarking the journey to you, a reference to Journey to You
that I had found my true wish in life,
I wish to finally be with you. essentially writing the note for Jirachi

All I Ever Need - Slushii feat. Aviella

My mind was on fire. She gave me the feeling that she was "all I ever need" and as simple as this song is, it definitely captured the essence nicely.

Edit (02/14/2025): Because this song was influential to me about her, I finally tried out music production for the first time, and did a short remix of this song.

Body Back - Gryffin feat. Maia Wright

I didn't care what anybody said at this point as I was making the mixes.

🧍
"she isn't interested"
🧍‍♂️
"you're doing too much"
🧍‍♀️
"she hasn't responded, that means something"

I know. I've heard it all. I was worried too.

But I can't deny the feelings I have for her, but more importantly I set limits so I'm not overbearing. That was my worst fear. That I would accidently scare her off. I wasn't going to give her up easily.

🎙️
[...]
They can call me foolish and stupid
Don't know why I do this
But, baby, bring your body back to me
I know, I know, I'm not giving you up
[...]

Deeper Love - Jauz

I had a deeper love for her than anyone else could even fathom. I had a strong will. Pretty simple as that.

Good Feeling - Duvall ft. Sam Gray

🎙️
I been hiding away
From myself, M.I.A
But when I woke up today
I got a good feeling
Think I'm ready this time
Got a new state of mind
Things are gonna be fine
I got a good feeling

I had a good feeling, especially for her. I felt great thinking that my Wish could come true.

Car Keys (Ayla) - Alok & Ava Max

She was the key to the car, the whole thing that drove me to making the mixes something I have done for another person EVER. And that drove arguably great art, visually and musically. It was true, she was the keys to the car.

This is What You Came For - Calvin Harris & Rihanna

I know what I came for. It was her. She was the one I've been after for years. But, like in the song, I was hoping she was looking at me.

All You Need To Know - Gryffin & SLANDER feat. Calle Lehmann

🎙️
Simple as can be
I'm gonna be around
And you know we got everything we need
Look at this thing we found
🎙️
I'll lift you when you're feeling low
I'll hold you when the night gets cold
You'll never have to be alone
And that's all you need to know
No love lost, we've got you and I
No clouds, we shoot 'em out the sky
You'll never have to be alone
And that's all you need to know

You'll never have to be alone, and that's all you need to know. This song is the true definition of how I felt about her. Put it all on me, I'm always happy to hear.

Out of My League - Fitz & the Tantrums ❤️

This song was actually a reference to a song she posted on her Snapchat. I've noted songs we've both put on stories, and this is one song she included.

Plus I felt she was out of my league. Like, by a lot.

he loves me, he loves me not - Jessica Baio ❤️

Another song she posted, but i felt like this was more of a choice towards me, thinking that she was confused herself. Do I love her? Do I love her not? Spoiler: I do. I do think about her when she's gone.

Blinding Lights (Chromatics Remix) - The Weeknd feat. Johnny Jewel

I'm blinded by the lights. Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe? I'm going through withdrawals. I can't sleep until I feel your touch.

Past Lives (Ian Asher Remix) - sapientdream & Slushii

Our past only built up to where we are now. I was a little more wacky in the past.

🎙️
Past lives couldn't ever hold me down
Lost love is sweeter when it's finally found
I've got the strangest feelin'
This isn't our first time around

This song was a signal that our past don't define us, it built us into what we are today. And I feel like, in a past life, we were together.

Let Me Be The One - Julian Jordan & Guy Arthur

This whole song really shows how BAD I really wanted her.

🎙️
But my heart skips a beat when I'm thinking about you
🎙️
Let me be the one that loves you for the rest of your life

we can't be friends (wait for your love) - Ariana Grande ❤️

Another song referenced from her, however, she referenced the album, as it happen to release about the time I was conceptualizing Wish Maker, and this happened to be one of the songs.

🎙️
Wait until you like me again
🎙️
Wait for your love

Nirvana - A7S

She's my Nirvana.

🎙️
You took me to a state of mind
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
A place I never thought I'd find
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Believe me, I would never lie
I'm not givin' you up
I won't give you up

Silhouette (Feed Me Remix) - Bad Computer feat. Skyelle

🎙️
I can feel it
Rushing through my veins
Your love’s the only drug I know
🎙️
Baby, it’s a chance to make a start
So we can fly higher

I Hold Still - Jauz & Crankdat feat. Slushii

I hold still. Especially since it was her I wanted. No matter what was going in my head, she was the constant in my head.

Fear (Sun Version) - ZachGG

🎙️
I fear the me without you
I fear the dream with no one to come home to
I fear the fall will turn into May
And that I'll still love you then
Like I love you today

This song really expresses how much fear I have for how much I truly love her, and I'm terrified I don't have you, but I still love you then like I love you today.

Dancin (Krono Remix) - Aaron Smith feat. Luvli

It felt like we were dancing under the stars. It was nearly euphoric in nature.

🎙️
You are the best thing that has happened to me

Astronomia (Never Go Home) - Tony Igy

This was more of a call to myself. Was it truly a real life feeling, or was this "more of a dream" or "more like a high"? I was thinking that what I was feeling was just a dream.

Spectrum (Say My Name) [Lewis Roper Remix] - Florence + the Machine

Lewis Roper · Say My Name - Lewis Roper Remix
🎙️
Say my name
And every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Us - Snavs

🎙️
Don't wanna be alone

This wasn't meant to be a desperate call for not being lonely, rather it was a call that I needed you, and I didn't want to be alone in my passion for her.

Get High (Original & VIP) - Oliverse

This was a tip off point that Astronomia may have had some proof. I might have been stuck in a dream this entire time, but theoretically:

🎙️
You and I must find the time to get high

Just Pretend - Bad Omens 💙

Finally, one of the songs that I shared with her. I think the lyrics give it justice.

🎙️
So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?
So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?
🎙️
I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I can wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain't getting over you
🎙️
[...] would you say I'm worthy?

Way to You - Doctor P feat. Dani Senior 💙

Also a song I shared with her, I'll find a way to her, signifying my Journey to You isn't over until the end.

🎙️
No matter what the weather, gotta keep the faith
I'll find a way to your love, I'll find a way to your love
When I feel the pressure's more than I can take
I'll find a way to your love, I'll find a way

Enigma - Pixel Terror & Aviella

🎙️
You, you wanna know my feelings
Every time I look in your eyes
Baby, I can feel your energy
It's making me realize

Everything we've been through makes us strong enough
You and I, you and I

Without You - Slushii

Something worth noting too, this sing was the actual first song I picked for Wish Maker, because I was mostly trying to explain in song why my wish should come true, and this song came to mind.

🎙️
I can't hold on without you

Anywhere - SLANDER & Au5 feat. shYbeast & PLYA

This song was the song that really pushed me to do Wish Maker. In fact, in quite a few appearances I've done on the radio show House Arrest, this has been a common song choice near the end, and it was a subtle call and nod to her.

🎙️
You say the word and I'll go
You got this under control
You say the word and I'll go
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go with you
Anywhere, anywhere with you
Tell me when, I'll be there, there
We'll makе it up, I don't care what we do
Anywherе, anywhere

Call On Me (Au5 Remix) - Seven Lions feat. Vancouver Sleep Clinic

🎙️
Just know that you can call on me
When you're feelin' low, when you're missin' home
Just know that I will always be with you as you go
Closer than you know

This song also became a great ending song for my various appearances of House Arrest, and it let's her know she can always call on me.

Nightlight - ILLENIUM feat. Annika Wells

You are the brightest light in my life (which is also mixed into the end of the song as a reference to the first mix, You.) And you'll be my Nightlight. The light at the end of the tunnel. The wish I made. The journey I took. It all ended to you. And tagging the ending "He's waiting for you" sampled from the song Are You Scared by Oiki, signifying I'm waiting for you.
