  • My Reaction & Analysis of Bury The Light, the trailer song for Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition, and supposedly, Vergil's DMC5 battle theme.
    Is this the best videogame vocal theme of all times?
    Casey Edwards and Victor Borba really did it with this one.
    Let me explain you a bit how, but be warned.
    There may be some more screaming and more bamboozled moments in this video than normal.

    Yeah, it really fits Vergil's character. His adherence to tradition and his demonic heritage, in addition to the pain and vulnerability he keeps buried under his superiority complex and a façade of stoicism. (Hence the title of the song, "Bury The Light") He maintains a front of his darker parts while his capability for compassion and empathy is suppressed and smothered for fear of being hurt as he was in childhood when the few people he actually loved were violently ripped away by Mundus's minions.

    I initially expected just a straight up reaction video but it's really cool that you have the insight to dive in and dissect the song and reveal where its' inspiration comes from, and what makes it special.

    6:12 Its subtle but I just love how leading up to "Forsaken, I am" is sung in a scruffy aggressive tone, then seamlessly moves onto "Awakened. A Phoenix ashes dark divine" with a softer tone to signify a change in Virgil's being. These very small details, I swear...
