1) A mononym of Aurelio V… Read Full Bio ↴Voltaire is a name of at least three acts:
1) A mononym of Aurelio Voltaire Hernández (b. 1967, Havana, Cuba), a singer/songwriter whose music has its roots deeply embedded in European folk and also has influences from the gothic scene. He has also been directing commercials and animating short films for ten years, the best known of these are his Hieronymus Bosch-inspired station MTV IDs.
Inspired by the films of Ray Harryhausen (Jason and the Argonauts, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad), Voltaire began animating at the age of ten on a super8 camera. By piecing together snippets of information from fanzines, he eventually was able to teach himself how to make foam rubber animation models and animate them. The films of his childhood landed him his first directing job in 1988 with MTV. The stop-motion tour of the hellish Garden of Earthly Delights won several awards.
He also teaches stop-motion animation at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
He also wrote the song "BRAINS!" for the Cartoon Network show "Grim and Evil" which has since split into two separate shows (The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Evil Con Carne) and the song can also be found on his album "Boo Hoo".
An avid fan of Star Trek, Voltaire frequently attends conventions and released a four track E.P. called "Banned on Vulcan". It was a set of comedy recordings poking fun at characters from the show.
He often takes part in Adventure Quest Worlds special musical events in which he is drawn incredibly well!

As the lyrics to Voltaire's song When You're Evil cannot be provided, we cannot give a direct interpretation of the specific lyrics. However, we can still analyze the artistic themes and messages commonly present in Voltaire's music. Voltaire is known for his dark gothic rock style and frequently delves into subjects such as death, horror, and the occult. His music often features tongue-in-cheek lyrics that are simultaneously amusing and eerie.
When You're Evil, in particular, is a prime example of the themes that Voltaire often explores in his music. The song has a confrontational tone, as the singer taunts the listener with the idea that they are secretly harboring malicious intentions. The lyrics are often described as playful and witty, which adds to the unsettling nature of the song. One interpretation of the song could be that it critiques people who hide behind a facade of goodness while secretly engaging in wicked behaviors.
Voltaire's music is also known for its incorporation of various instruments and musical styles, including elements of rock, jazz, and cabaret. This eclectic mix of genres is part of what sets Voltaire's music apart from other artists in the gothic rock scene.

I wrote it for me when I was going through this situation, so I know how you feel and I'm glad it's working for you, too!

It's great to see artists that actually put feelings in their songs, it's weirdly rare to find artists making... ART (as in the act of expressing feelings through song). I've been a fan of yours ever since the Nostalgia Critic used "When You're Evil" in his Top 11 Disney Villains list (I actually had to search for the lyrics online to find out who was the artist) and I hope it stays that way forever. You're an idol of mine, my good sir.
mr. dedede
Same story.

I've noticed that this great song has a similar key, rhythm, and overall tone as the equally great "Ex Lover's Lover." Have you ever considered trying to put the two together as a big, epic, scorned lover's medley, Mr. Voltaire? I feel like they'd fit together beautifully. :-)
