I super appreciate your attention to detail and also nerding out on the modulations, borrowed chords, etc. It makes all the work that went into it worth it all over again when I get to witness reactions like these. THANKS! 🤘
Fun fact, Casey Edwards was told he couldn't use guitars at all, only for the chorus toward the end. So he had to improvise and use synthesizers to make the heavy parts and everything before. Another fun fact too, Casey Edwards studied under Mick Gordon, the composer of the DOOM Soundtrack for the modern games. Which is why it has a similar feel. Oh and Bury the Light shares chord progression with Devil Trigger which is top notch.
go watch casey's interview with alex moukala he say that he was Explicitly told no guitar out side that part, so no he isn't using guitars but a bass instead.@@winn3975
@@winn3975wrong. Casey was specifically told by Capcom to not include any guitar instruments till the end of the song. Which is where the solo starts, at the end.
The reason the song from 12:45 and out feels so raw compared to the rest of the song is because when writing this song, they told Casey the song only had to be about 7 minutes or so (I don't remember exactly what they said specifically, all I remember was that he was allowed to end the song at that point), but because he assumed this would be his last time making music for DMC, he decided to go all out for the ending, adding an extra 2 or so minutes of pure, raw emotion as a love letter to the DMC franchise
That's right. The music doesnt play for long ingame but with all the transitions and dynamism, they need to be quite long. So they would need about 7 minutes. Then Casey took it to the next level! They responded by having it be the final boss music in the Vergil DLC.
I've never played DMC, but I heard this song in a meme and fell in love with it from the first seconds. It's a rare masterpiece. Even without knowing the character, you feel his personality through the music. This is art.
It's even better when you're playing. DMC 5 has a system where the music changes dynamically with your style rating (goes up when you do cool stuff, goes down when you make mistakes), at the highest rating it switches to the chorus.
I was listening to this in the background and didn't think twice when I heard the violin. I assumed it was part of the original track. 🤯 I hope some composers see these reactions and get the idea to invite you to add to their productions!
Ah, Vergil. The final boss that when playable doesn't become some weaker character. I have never seen anyone talk more about the singer of the song or the song's composer. They're both respected very equally and I love that. Victor Borba and Casey Edwards are absolute kings in the videogame music community.
Casey didn't have to go this hard, he was only required to make a song for Vergil a couple of minutes and fairly basic. Casey was all like: "Hold my beer."
The wild thing is that up to 12:45, it's all synth. The Devs told the music writers not to have guitars. That's why the last part is so raw, he added electric guitar as a personal omage. Vergil is one of his favourite characters ever and you can feel it. The passion slaps so god damn hard.
I dunno why people misconstrue this point so often. there's still electric guitar in the chorus, and there's acoustic guitars during the verses. the restriction was no electric guitars outside of the chorus, and they later made the exception for the ending section.
As someone who knows nothing technical about music its so great to hear someone who is knowledgeable about those things explain exactly why we intuitively know this song is such a masterpiece
Okay, that was one of the the best Bury The Light reactions I've ever seen. I recommend you to listen other Devil May Cry music like "Devils Never Cry","Taste The Blood", "Shall Never Surrender" and other.
The drummer for this song is Anup Sastry, who is an insanely talented dude. He's got such a deep pocket, but is also very tasteful with his fills. One thing to also mention is that this was mixed by Adam "Nolly" Getgood, who is one of the greatest rock and metal sound engineers of our time. He's incredibly smart and meticulous with his craft. He's done a bunch of other work, but most notably is one of the minds behind Periphery's sound, as well as they're former bass player. There was a lot of talent that went onto this track, including Victor and Casey. Overall this is one of the greatest video game compositions of all time.
God, the violin 18:33 onwards was incredible! Great playing, as always. I’ve seen a few comments suggesting the Metal Gear: Rising OST, and i couldn’t agree more, it’s filled with intense bangers. “A Stanger I Remain”, “Stains Of Time”, “Red Sun”, “The Only Thing I Know For Real”, “Collective Consciousness”, “It Has To Be This Way” and “The Hot Wind Blowing” are my for sure top picks.
Fun fact: the BURY THE LIGHT DEEP WITHIN SEGMENT is reminisant of the chorus of Devil Trigger to refrence the fact Vergil is Nero's father. Not sure if you noticed
That introduction was INSANE! I was very impressed by the sudden switches from grungy and crunchy to sweet and gentle without sounding out of place. The first big vocal entrance made my jaw freaking DROP! As someone who loves melodies, I appreciate a simple percussion that can drive the rhythm/enhance the music without sounding boring. The meter changes, jumps, and key changes are all EPIC and really make this song so unique! Okay 12:44 absolutely blew my mind!! I hadn't thought of how space in a melody can make it more musical. Then again, music tells a story and who makes stories? Humans. And what do humans do? Breathe. So it checks out! This is definitely the type of music I LOVE to listen to when I need high energy that's also "focused".
15:17 I've never heard anyone explain musicality like this before and it suddenly clicked. But your performance near the end really drove the point home, it was just that good; made my heart tingle.
Dude that Violin Solo at the end was fucking FANTASTIC. I got crazy goosbumps and holy shit dude that complimented the music so well. You are a real artist man, seriously.
When most people think of Casey Edwards, they think of either this or Devil Trigger, 2 pieces that really show off his masterwork of songwriting. Though i will say, if you love his stuff, theres 1 track many will never have heard, as its from another Capcom game that so many neglected to give a real chance; Exoprimal. He composed the credits theme to that, called Exohuman
That breathing and holding during classic guitar solos is totally on point. I can actually see it in other solos that I really love in metal ! That explains why I love certain metal solos and some not so much!
The thing about dmc 5 soundtrack is that it progresses based on your style rank. For example this song plays build up (that is not in the version you are listening to) on A rank and then chorus variation on S rank and it's so good
@@jimbocraggins there is a common misconception about this actually. SS and SSS ranks do not influence the music in any way. It plays either i am the storm or forsakened i am awakened parts when you reach S. If you keep S rank up for long it will eventually get to the bury the light deep within part. After that part it loops back to i am the storm or forsakened if you still have S rank
I feel like the almost angelic vocals are an analogy for the light that vergil (human part) has within himself gets buried due to his cold callus exterior, aka the distorted guitar, loud strings and drums. It's a perfect song for a perfectionist like him
Honestly... how it was all written is one thing. To match all these sounds and stuff together must have been a hard time in itself. But I think the vocals are the reason I think I continue to come back to this song. Just how the vocalist sounds is just... perfect with all the sounds and the instrumentals I'm this.
I loved your explanation of how a guitar solo sounds good and authentic, by letting the music breathe. Never thought of it before, but it totally makes sense. The best solo's are the once where there is a moment to, as a listener, take a breath.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT VIOLIN SOLO IN THE END!!! I'm just sitting here with my jaw on the floor like a 5 year old on his first christman receiving the BIGGEST present after your violin solo, I bow before your sheer skill and SSS rank good sir!!
This song's like an earworm for me Hear it once, or think about it, and I'm gonna be playing it a bunch for a while XD Really happy to see your reaction to this
My favorite part to watching reactions to this song is that modulation in the chorus, and yours totally didn't disappoint! It's such a risky move but it's so effective in this song!
The breathing/space part that makes solo instrumental part like singing explanation has earned u my sub👏👏👏 Can't put words together any better than that
With Bury the light you can imagine the entrance of the main antagonist (in this case Vergil) at the start then as the "fight" or music progresses it gets more and more intense with breaks in between, until you reach the massive climax near the end. You could also see the solo section almost in a similar albeit smaller scale to this to where he shows up, massive climatic moment, then they are gone as quickly as they arrive. I only just found your channel but your passion for music and actually enjoying what your listening too while dissecting it is very admirable! If you want another DMC music recommendation I'd say Devil trigger is a definite good option. As for another Game altogether? The "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance" Game has some amazing hits included in it's line up! Keep up the positive vibe's and work my dude! :)
If you haven’t heard them already, I’d highly recommend listening to some of the songs used in “Just Shapes and Beats”, or even watching the gameplay with it since there’s no other audio besides the end and checkpoints. (S rank gameplay recommended, boss tracks only). Really good techno music, and other stuff mixed in too! Might be a good single video or mini series like you did with Pizza Tower and TF2.
@@blockingdead64 MOST of it wasn't made for the game anyways. aside from the Shovel Knight remixes, Interlaced from the Lost Chapter was made for the game, along with the in-game instrumental version of the extra level song Creatures Ov Deception.
That POWERful track always gives me MOTIVATION. Love your POWERful reaction too x) Also i can recommend you some ost's from "Supergiant games"... games:D Hades ("In the Blood", "God of the Dead", "Good Riddance", "Out of Tartarus") Transistor ("We All Become", "Old Friend", "She Shines") Pyre ("In The Flame") Bastion ("Setting Sail, Coming Home", "In Case Of Trouble", "Bynn The Breaker")
I am glad to stumble upon this channel tbh, this is amazing! love your reactions and the violin play along! If you are reading this, i hope that you will consider reacting to Project Wingman Soundtracks because they are phenomenal. Especially one in particular favorite of mine, titled "Kings" which is the final boss battle song played during this duel between ace above a ruined city.
Your comments about musical performances needing that space to breathe and reflect the soul of it's player, much like a vocalist, is such an inspired concept, I love it! Definitely a brilliant way for music to sound less mechanical and overly produced
@@LionmightOfficialso looking forward to that, subhuman is often overlooked but it's just as good as devil trigger imo, although bury the light is my favourite
I like how the song ended like a storm as well; ground quaking, sky bursting, and all encompassing guttural instrumentals . And at the end, the storm didn't stop and neither did the song come to a close. It's still thundering but less loud now. The maelstrom only passed over you and continued onward. It's probably just because it sounds cooler to have the song fade away instead of an abrupt end, but I like this thought more. Makes it more poetic/symbolic or something. And Vergil would respect the use of that violin at the end!
I have a feeling this video is going to be a doozy! It would be cool to have a reaction on the opening theme of Super Smash Bros. Brawl :D And happy video to all!
I just find out about this song's greatness from Marco Meatball's reaction and analysis yesterday. Song was so good, I have to listen to it one more time. My emotionally weak self can barely take it My mind was going back and forth like "Pause the video" "No" "PAUSE, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT" "NO" All while my ears are having an eargasm from start to finish, banging my head and moving my hands the entire time I almost didn't make it to the end of the video. I can't- I almost *cried* Every single thing I love about EDM, rock songs, or just music in general, it's all compiled here. In this 9 minute song. At 17:05, after the song ends, Lionmight is still talking while on the other side of the screen I was literally breathing heavily like I just had a heavy workout session or ran 100 miles or something. I've said this once, I'll say it again God bless you, Casey. Thanks for this masterpiece
The first time I listened to this song I was alone in my room with my headset minding my own business when this came on. Holy fuck I had goosebumps from start to finish. At the end it felt so emotional my eyes filled with water I was like wtf is going on lol.
15:00 Your explanation here is top-shelf. Too many times I've heard a cover of a song where the lead guitar decided to deviate, do a solo, and have it become a mishmash in an attempt to show off, but only ends up doing the rest of the track injustice.
Omg I just discovered you today and let me just say I apologize for just now discovering you because you are amazing man the way you break it down into depth for new listeners is just mesmerizing. You sir just earned a subscriber and I can’t wait to listen to new taste of music from you keep it up. Also you killed it at the end👌🏿 P.s. I just started playing DMC today like I watched all the gameplay but never got the chance to play it but now I do same as metal gear solid and let me just say it just brings me a trip down memory lane the feeling is astonishing
From a musician to another..you spoke of what is in my mind , heart and ear!! and in details too! Thank You for this amazing reaction and cool pointing SPG. Thanks also to Casey Edwards..who made me witness this masterpiece in my life time.
18:33 Pls i need a cover with that Electric Violin? Everything was Awesome but this was so Unexpected and Perfectly Fitting that I need to hear more of that pls. Thank u so much. I didn't even know that existed.
My favorite part of the song is definitely the solo just after the verse, where it sounds like it’s spiraling upward, absolutely blew me away the first time and still gives me goosebumps. Casey Edwards or whoever wrote this song and performed it is a god among peasants.
fun fact: if you play modded terraria, you probably know the mod called “the stats above” the strongest weapon you can get is called “bury the light” (it is so strong that in the calamity mod you need auric bars to craft it)
I wasn't expecting much from the thumbnail, _but_ because of your, um... charismatic way of reviewing and helping us understand things we wouldn't otherwise know without a lot of musical education or experience in the industry... I gave this video a thumbs up and have begun giving consideration to subbing to the channel.
I really loved your reaction to Bury the Light. This is, in my opinion, one of the best pieces of music ever written, and you listened and reacted so genuinely and sincerely. Your analogy of the "music needs to breathe" was perfect!
I'm not a music producer but sometimes I do create music for fun although on my keyboard. Wow that singing and breathing part was so great, I never thought this way. I'm going to remember that.
You should really do a reaction video on the Frostpunk soundtrack. The Game is about surviving in an apocolyptic winter set in the 1800s as the last city on earth. I recommend listening to 'the city must survive' from the main game, to 'the last autumn' and the 'on the edge' theme from the two dlc's. It's entirely orchestral, and my personal favourite soundtrack of all time. I always love watching these reaction videos, because I love learning about what makes the music I listen to so captivating.
What a GREAT analytics dude!!! Very thorough. And the violin at the end? Such a grandiose addition to the video! Just found your channel and I'm HOOKED instantly! Subbed and liked
Seeing as you are taking suggestions! I would absolutely ADORE a look at the music from the game “Touhou: Luna Nights”, it is not an official touhou title but it is officially recognized by ZUN and has some really fun remakes of classic themes from EOSD which is the game Luna Nights is based apon! It is byfar one of my favorite games and is a total love letter to the franchise its based on!
love this song so much! I love how you masterfully broke it down, from the devil's interval you noticed, to the drums and how creatively programmed they are, your steak reference to the thick chord and harmony was so good as a person who loves steak as well, and you explaining in the solo part how music needs to breathe so it feels and sounds musical, I often find myself conflicting with others when it comes to music because most just don't seem to get that so it was so nice to hear it from you, it is nothing but a pleasure hearing you break down and even play this masterpiece that blends genres together so well!
I'd love to see a reaction to some of the tracks from Final Fantasy 14. Footfalls, Shadowbringers, Ultima Thule, Metal: Brute Justice Mode, What Angel Wakes Me are all great candidates for reactions.

This isnt true. There are plenty of guitars before the final chorus, especially in the bass and faint countermelody.

In a lot of games, a song like this would be a bit much. In the DMC series though? Fits right in. Adding a violin to it just makes it better!

The thing about dmc 5 soundtrack is that it progresses based on your style rank. For example this song plays build up (that is not in the version you are listening to) on A rank and then chorus variation on S rank and it's so good
But Vergil can skip from no style to SSS in a span of 3 seconds, so you had to slow yourself down just to listen to it properly~
I personally put a dmc Spotify playlist when I play bloody Palace, listening to the chorus every wave gets really annoying,
so wait if you get sss as vergil does it play "i am the storm that is approaching", "bury the light deep within", or the guitar solo
@@jimbocraggins there is a common misconception about this actually. SS and SSS ranks do not influence the music in any way.
It plays either i am the storm or forsakened i am awakened parts when you reach S. If you keep S rank up for long it will eventually get to the bury the light deep within part. After that part it loops back to i am the storm or forsakened if you still have S rank

Really happy to see your reaction to this
My favorite part to watching reactions to this song is that modulation in the chorus, and yours totally didn't disappoint! It's such a risky move but it's so effective in this song!
Yooo the violin you add at the end was sick from start to finish, truly a D-SSS combo instantly
The breathing/space part that makes solo instrumental part like singing explanation has earned u my sub👏👏👏
Can't put words together any better than that
With Bury the light you can imagine the entrance of the main antagonist (in this case Vergil) at the start then as the "fight" or music progresses it gets more and more intense with breaks in between, until you reach the massive climax near the end.
You could also see the solo section almost in a similar albeit smaller scale to this to where he shows up, massive climatic moment, then they are gone as quickly as they arrive.
I only just found your channel but your passion for music and actually enjoying what your listening too while dissecting it is very admirable!
If you want another DMC music recommendation I'd say Devil trigger is a definite good option. As for another Game altogether?
The "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance" Game has some amazing hits included in it's line up! Keep up the positive vibe's and work my dude! :)
My body overflows with a feeling of power, surging through me with this song.
I feed off of certain music like this, until it has been drained dry.
GOD DAMN, that addition to the song at 18:33 was PERFECT, is there a way to listen to the whole one?!
If you haven’t heard them already, I’d highly recommend listening to some of the songs used in “Just Shapes and Beats”, or even watching the gameplay with it since there’s no other audio besides the end and checkpoints. (S rank gameplay recommended, boss tracks only). Really good techno music, and other stuff mixed in too! Might be a good single video or mini series like you did with Pizza Tower and TF2.
YES! The songs weren't made for the game, but they are all incredibly good in my opinion.
@@blockingdead64 MOST of it wasn't made for the game anyways. aside from the Shovel Knight remixes, Interlaced from the Lost Chapter was made for the game, along with the in-game instrumental version of the extra level song Creatures Ov Deception.
The only boss character who is not nerfed when he becomes playable
That POWERful track always gives me MOTIVATION. Love your POWERful reaction too x)
Also i can recommend you some ost's from "Supergiant games"... games:D
Hades ("In the Blood", "God of the Dead", "Good Riddance", "Out of Tartarus")
Transistor ("We All Become", "Old Friend", "She Shines")
Pyre ("In The Flame")
Bastion ("Setting Sail, Coming Home", "In Case Of Trouble", "Bynn The Breaker")
Add lament of Orpheus to that list for Hades.
I am glad to stumble upon this channel tbh, this is amazing! love your reactions and the violin play along!
If you are reading this, i hope that you will consider reacting to Project Wingman Soundtracks because they are phenomenal.
Especially one in particular favorite of mine, titled "Kings" which is the final boss battle song played during this duel between ace above a ruined city.
3:18 the most iconic line
Devil May Cry is one of my absolute favourite game series and this song is suuuch a love letter!
I was not expecting you to react to Bury the Light at all. It's a very welcomed surprise though.
the true meaning of "motivation" in a music
13:13 "Bury the Light deep-"
Your comments about musical performances needing that space to breathe and reflect the soul of it's player, much like a vocalist, is such an inspired concept, I love it! Definitely a brilliant way for music to sound less mechanical and overly produced
Sir you just earned a sub with that sick violin in addition,I loved it such a nice play it was,thank you for clearing the rust in my ears
Thank you!
As a young composer in my free time, it’s extremely inspiring to hear your wisdom as you explain which parts stand out and why!
Now that you've enjoyed this song, I recommend listening to Devil Trigger, which serves as Nero's theme in DMCV.
EDIT: And there we go!
I already filmed my reactions for all 4 main character themes. Now you all just need to patiently wait when I feel like uploading the rest.
@@LionmightOfficialI imagine you heard the DVMC5 themes, but you should hear Dante's in DMVC3 too (Devils never cry)
@@socxz_psycho one at a time.
@@LionmightOfficialso looking forward to that, subhuman is often overlooked but it's just as good as devil trigger imo, although bury the light is my favourite
This song made me buy a plastic chair
I like how the song ended like a storm as well; ground quaking, sky bursting, and all encompassing guttural instrumentals . And at the end, the storm didn't stop and neither did the song come to a close. It's still thundering but less loud now. The maelstrom only passed over you and continued onward.
It's probably just because it sounds cooler to have the song fade away instead of an abrupt end, but I like this thought more. Makes it more poetic/symbolic or something.
And Vergil would respect the use of that violin at the end!
I have a feeling this video is going to be a doozy! It would be cool to have a reaction on the opening theme of Super Smash Bros. Brawl :D
And happy video to all!
Thank you Richtheur!
I just find out about this song's greatness from Marco Meatball's reaction and analysis yesterday. Song was so good, I have to listen to it one more time.
My emotionally weak self can barely take it
My mind was going back and forth like "Pause the video" "No" "PAUSE, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT" "NO"
All while my ears are having an eargasm from start to finish, banging my head and moving my hands the entire time
I almost didn't make it to the end of the video. I can't- I almost *cried*
Every single thing I love about EDM, rock songs, or just music in general, it's all compiled here. In this 9 minute song.
At 17:05, after the song ends, Lionmight is still talking while on the other side of the screen I was literally breathing heavily like I just had a heavy workout session or ran 100 miles or something.
I've said this once, I'll say it again
God bless you, Casey. Thanks for this masterpiece
The first time I listened to this song I was alone in my room with my headset minding my own business when this came on. Holy fuck I had goosebumps from start to finish. At the end it felt so emotional my eyes filled with water I was like wtf is going on lol.
the tears that fell when the electric violin came on. WOW. thats a whole nother layer i never could've expected. truly awestruck
3:05 Literally me the first time I heard this
15:00
Your explanation here is top-shelf. Too many times I've heard a cover of a song where the lead guitar decided to deviate, do a solo, and have it become a mishmash in an attempt to show off, but only ends up doing the rest of the track injustice.
Omg I just discovered you today and let me just say I apologize for just now discovering you because you are amazing man the way you break it down into depth for new listeners is just mesmerizing. You sir just earned a subscriber and I can’t wait to listen to new taste of music from you keep it up. Also you killed it at the end👌🏿
P.s. I just started playing DMC today like I watched all the gameplay but never got the chance to play it but now I do same as metal gear solid and let me just say it just brings me a trip down memory lane the feeling is astonishing
Thank you! Welcome aboard!
Im not hearing many people talk about this but 16:09 Is the devil trigger letimotif. and the distinct 3 drum notes matching with "bang bang bang"
"now im a little motivated" - vergil
From a musician to another..you spoke of what is in my mind , heart and ear!! and in details too! Thank You for this amazing reaction and cool pointing SPG. Thanks also to Casey Edwards..who made me witness this masterpiece in my life time.
I was just listening to a mashup between DoG OST and Jetstream Sam's when I received the notification, such an amazing one
18:33 Pls i need a cover with that Electric Violin? Everything was Awesome but this was so Unexpected and Perfectly Fitting that I need to hear more of that pls. Thank u so much. I didn't even know that existed.
6:02 gives me a really TYRANNICAL feel to the song, which goes hand-in-hand with the amount of power that Vergil has
My favorite part of the song is definitely the solo just after the verse, where it sounds like it’s spiraling upward, absolutely blew me away the first time and still gives me goosebumps. Casey Edwards or whoever wrote this song and performed it is a god among peasants.
This is one of my favorite video game songs out there. Plus I'm a very big fan of Vergil
Also Hakita dropped two new songs
HELL YEAH. I was head bopping along with you and your enthusiasm was infectious. Thank you for making my day groovy :D
Rock on!
fun fact:
if you play modded terraria, you probably know the mod called “the stats above”
the strongest weapon you can get is called “bury the light”
(it is so strong that in the calamity mod you need auric bars to craft it)
"Now I'm a little motivated." to be able to bury the light
I just found this channel and it's 'criminal' that there's not more to that violin accompaniment. I would adore a full video of it.
Ah, very good, another talented person has been MOTIVATED. To the point where he has played violin solo. Now this... THIS IS POWER.
I wasn't expecting much from the thumbnail, _but_ because of your, um... charismatic way of reviewing and helping us understand things we wouldn't otherwise know without a lot of musical education or experience in the industry... I gave this video a thumbs up and have begun giving consideration to subbing to the channel.
would love a whole violin part for this, if your up to it that is! AMAZING VIDEO!!!!!!
I really loved your reaction to Bury the Light. This is, in my opinion, one of the best pieces of music ever written, and you listened and reacted so genuinely and sincerely. Your analogy of the "music needs to breathe" was perfect!
I haven't listened to this song in a long while and it STILL raises the hairs on my arms! So good! 😎👍
I'm not a music producer but sometimes I do create music for fun although on my keyboard. Wow that singing and breathing part was so great, I never thought this way. I'm going to remember that.
THAT VIOLIN SOUNDS LIKE A wITCHER SONG
always an awesome time when one of your new vids pops up in my feed, keep up the great work!
You should really do a reaction video on the Frostpunk soundtrack. The Game is about surviving in an apocolyptic winter set in the 1800s as the last city on earth. I recommend listening to 'the city must survive' from the main game, to 'the last autumn' and the 'on the edge' theme from the two dlc's. It's entirely orchestral, and my personal favourite soundtrack of all time. I always love watching these reaction videos, because I love learning about what makes the music I listen to so captivating.
It's one of my favorite songs and seeing how you analyze the same parts that I like blows my mind
BERRY DELIGHT!
What a GREAT analytics dude!!! Very thorough. And the violin at the end? Such a grandiose addition to the video! Just found your channel and I'm HOOKED instantly! Subbed and liked
Welcome aboard!
Seeing as you are taking suggestions!
I would absolutely ADORE a look at the music from the game “Touhou: Luna Nights”, it is not an official touhou title but it is officially recognized by ZUN and has some really fun remakes of classic themes from EOSD which is the game Luna Nights is based apon!
It is byfar one of my favorite games and is a total love letter to the franchise its based on!
We can all always use more Touhou music!
love this song so much! I love how you masterfully broke it down, from the devil's interval you noticed, to the drums and how creatively programmed they are, your steak reference to the thick chord and harmony was so good as a person who loves steak as well, and you explaining in the solo part how music needs to breathe so it feels and sounds musical, I often find myself conflicting with others when it comes to music because most just don't seem to get that so it was so nice to hear it from you, it is nothing but a pleasure hearing you break down and even play this masterpiece that blends genres together so well!
I'd love to see a reaction to some of the tracks from Final Fantasy 14.
Footfalls, Shadowbringers, Ultima Thule, Metal: Brute Justice Mode, What Angel Wakes Me are all great candidates for reactions.
def one of the best tracks I have ever heard, the voice, the instruments and the modulations and speed changes, the song is perfect!
I cannot imagine what the singer's neighbours must have thought when he was absolutely screaming those lyrics
