#Warframe #ForNarmer #TheNewWar
Without spoiling anything, this was the scene of the quest that made it personal.
Come on, after what he'd already done to Umbra and the Lotus it was already personal. This is what made it about more than just revenge.
The children man the children....
True
It had been personal for a very long time... Like Jesse Smith said, this song/scene just made it more than personal revenge. It became so much more than that.
@@imjustwolf Alright I'll agree with on that. I just wasn't as attached to Space Mom as I was to the people of Fortuna.
I've never played WarFrame, but learning this is the inverted companion of "We All Lift Together" makes it so much more melancholy. Excellent work Colm as always!
Someone made a mashup video of the two songs and it really shows how well they fit together. ruclips.net/video/w65e_JNAzGM/видео.html
(spoiler) in the story this is the point where you come to the place that was originally introduced with the pro liberty sonng we all lift together, and now they sing this while being enslaved by sort of mind control drones and they are praising their lack of freedom
This song really hurts in the game. For a long time you watch these people struggle with debt they've had since birth. Fighting so hard for small victories, helping where you can. Then they just...stop. Their fight is gone and spirits broken. Even the vent kids man. That part hurt my soul.
@@Atoll-ok1zm the ventkids hit really deep man, hats off the the devs for that miss-able detail
when I got to the part of the quest with this song, it was one of the biggest "oh shit, we lost..." moments I've felt in a game
That elevator ride down. Hearing this song and then realization hitting that this is the same instrumental song as lift together... turned from a song of freedom and perseverance into one of acceptance and praise of a god-king that had not a solitary care for them.
This moment ripped the heart out of me.
Seeing the vent kids bowing in worship stomped on it.
Not the same instrumental, but same progression
It is a testament to their writing, and musical development, how utterly devastating this moment was.
Man i remember get excited when i see the ventkids entrance and say "no way the ventkids survived!! probably they are going to help us!!" and then i see them praising ballas and it just broke my heart.
I know this is late, but if you noticed on lift together you start with the people and rise to the sky. For narmer, you're sinking with a rough ride down. Then you're all left looking up at the person that set themselves over everything.
"For Narmer" hits so hard if you take a moment to think about it. "We all lift together" was a song of hope, of perseverance through hard times, a song to get you through, while "For Narmer" is a song after they've been ground under Nef Anyo's heel, having the Tenno fight for them and despite all that fighting they then get subjugated by Narmer. It's a song, of a people, who have given up. They've got nothing left. The Tenno are gone, noone else can stand up to Narmer. They serve Narmer because......... what other choice do they have? :(
HE DID IT!!!! HE ACTUALLY DID IT!!! THE ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!!
This gave me chills.
This is what this song is meant to portray, Defeat. Lost. No hope.
You didn't just lose a battle, You lost a **war**
other then that awesome!
It's kind of similar to The Seven Hour War, only worse... Narmer makes The Combine look like push overs in comparison that even the G-Man and his employers would struggle.
As a warframe player, the original gave me chills..... This froze me in my seat for sure !
Excellent cover as always I LOVE IT !!
Bruh this was the saddest thing I'd seen in a while since there origins where singing for freedom and it was just depressing
It’s not uncommon to see plots in which we lose. It’s in a ton of games, hell, it’s the literal base plot for a HUGE amount of RPG’s. But none of them hit like Warframes did. They didn’t tell us how it used to be, they showed us. As you play the game, the lore is built before your very eyes. You get attached to the characters, you are made out to be a unstoppable god of sorts. But then, the new war ends it all. It shows you how truly powerless you are. It takes its time, but that pacing makes it so much more impactful. It’s genuinely earth shattering to see Fortuna Post-Narmer. I have never felt more unrelenting sorrow from one game ever. I can’t speak for everyone here (obviously), but for me personally 9/10 times when I play a game with story, whenever something bad happens, I just sit there like “Yeah whatever they have plot armor so”. But Warframe doesn’t do that. I thought that when we would find Ballas and win like we always do, but then we lost. And the lost is truly felt throughout the rest of the game. Fortuna is enslaved, Cetus is inslaved, with no hope. There wasn’t a “rebel group” that we team up with and win, no, there is no hope. It’s a complete and absolute loss. There is no hope. The Lotus is gone, Darvo, Samaris, Onko, Eudico, Little Duck, all completely under Ballas’s control. You are completely and entirely alone. There is no “rebel group” there is no allies. Only you. This makes it far more impactful, because now it feels like you are at truly impossible odds. You lost, it feels as if it’s over. It feels real because there wasn’t some “rebel group”, there isn’t any help. There isn’t any “Well this person wasn’t under Ballas’s control and they just happen to have a secret weapon that just happens to be the one thing that can kill Ballas” Everyone. Is. Gone. I think that’s why this story feels far more impactful. It feels like a much more genuine comeback. It feels as tho it could actually happen. Ballas wasn’t incompetent like most villains in rpgs and just “happened to forget about most of your allies.” He won. Completely. Absolutely. He is far more of a threat then most villains will ever be. Genuinely one of the best written stories I’ve ever experienced.
@@helldiver_xyimi Couldn't have said it better myself, Props to you stranger !
Hits diff seeing fortuna under narmer eh?
@@helldiver_xyimi yeah but.. due to the way the game and story is structured it is hard ti tell how nasty ballas is. He attacks u one time then 3 yrs later he back and wev already forgotten abt him
I'm not going to pretend that I know anything about Warframe, but I do know that hearing a new song from Colm is one of my favorite parts of the week. My reminder is set as usual!
All you gotta know is it's gonna be amazing
I've not played it either, but their songs slap and the community is so nice haha!
@@ColmRMcGuinness haha! That's awesome! Can't wait to hear it.
@@Elena-lu7tl the game is free to play on steam and consoles if you ever wanted to be a space ninja
This is a reverb of We all lift together, [SPOILER ALERT] it is based upon the philosophy of Fortuna where all the villagers live their life standing together to fight the rule of Nef Anyo... With the new war (last update), they lost every sight of hope because Narmer took control of their minds... that's why they say "Virtue once was lift together, but virtue now is lift alone" This is... sad...
The people who sang for Freedom now singing for Submission, hearing them sing as I descent back sent chills down my spine
As always, great singing, Colm! Hope to hear more of that handsome voice of yours and I hope you try playing Warframe sometime, it's really fun, a little finnicky at times, but really fun
Few games have movement that just FEELS GOOD like Warframe. Vanquish was the last one in that category for me, and that was more years ago than i want to think about.
Same
reminds me of the duality between
"The song of Freedom and Captivity"
as sung by OOD-Kind in DOCTOR WHO
Hearing this song in game was enough to get my blood boiling. "You broke the spirit of Solaris? Oh, I am going to ENJOY destroying you!"
@@thestabbybrit4798 Exactly! But we had to let space-mom deal the finishing blow
Omg colm sign my toboggan
I love this cover, the backtrack and everything is MM 👌🏼👌🏼
Colm's version of these songs always hits the right spot! Every time! He's actually incredible
Here are the lyrics of the song if anyone is interested! Once again, many thanks to the Author for the wonderful cover.
Healed, the pain of independence
Strong, our wise and trusted friend
We, united in one vision
Rise to sing of sorrow's end
He, the bringer of the vision
Bids you answer to his call
Praise the wise and mighty Ballas
Heed the ruler of us all
For we're all One
And the work's begun
For Narmer
And we all run
To our golden son
For Narmer
For Narmer
Here today we sing our story
With Ballas we have found our home
Virtue once was work together
But virtue now is lift alone
Free we are now from each other
Brothers, sisters, daughters, sons
Where once we dreamt of independence
Now we stand and dream alone
We were all for One
Now the work's begun
For Narmer
And we all run
To the golden son
For Narmer
For Narmer
Yup and a mash-up of the Fortuna song and the war within song cuz DEsgusting hasn't had an original idea lately
Cheers for this, for some reason my ears can't make out the lyrics unless it's written in front of me
@@ShugoAWay There is no song in The War Within unless you are talking about the instrumental music which sounds nothing like this. This also isn't a mash-up.
@Malaki 7 This is what we are
Thanks
Hearing this in-game after loving We All Lift Together was heart-breaking. What a wonderful in-game moment. Hearing it from Colm, the creepiness has only increased. Fantastic cover, as always, Colm.
Man Fortuna was one of my favourite places in Warframe for years. I loved both the location and covertly working with its enslaved people against the Corpus controlling Venus. Hearing them sing this as the lift took me down to see what has become of them hit hard and got me feeling like everyone really did completely lose to Ballas and those days of a scattered but free system with nothing to stop us are a thing of the past and all we former Tenno can do now stripped of our power is try survive under his rule. Even after New War Fortuna no longer is the busy neon lit city it was but damaged and with Narmer structures still there. The people too that would have conversations and make it feel lively are now stoic and silent.
In terms of the change from We All Lift Together to For Narmer, the theoretical aspects of it are chilling. WALT was a wild and fun song, rhythmically varied, melodically simple. An ode to a people, all with their own experiences and perspectives, nonetheless coming together in the best way they could. The instruments are improvised, and the whole thing is something that you could teach a room of untrained singers, and keep humming along to for years to come.
This song, on the other hand, trades in the rhythmic variety, simple melody, and improvised nature for a rhythmically simple, harmonically more complex, and uniform sound. Most notes are held for the same value, and while the song is still simple enough to learn and listen to, it carries with it a unity that can only be achieved by absolute cohesion. It tells a tale of a people that have had all individual solidarity stripped away, their connections only existing through a golden medium in the sky. It twists the message of unity and togetherness in WALT in such a horrifying way.
The thing that really hits with this is the fact that this song is both musically and vocally arranged VERY similarly to “We All Lift Together”, but is now a dirge showing the new state of the Solaris people, reveling in their subservience. It’s heartbreaking, they fought so hard for their freedom and are now twisted into something worse than where they were
Also written in the same key signature, time signature, and BPM. I'm fairly sure a lot of the chords are flipped chords as well. Search up a video of both being played together, and not only do they go together amazingly, there's also some symbolism in one song overpowering the other at certain points.
@@MDeadcloud And an interesting detail, in We All Lift Together, the voices aren't quite in harmony - it's a group of singers just joining in song as individuals. For Narmer, it's many singers in perfect harmony, all in perfect sync, no variation or independence.
Now overlap them. there is a call/response in the lyric mashup.
@@singletona082I made a video combining Colm's versions of the two songs, if you're curious what it sounds like in this version.
And damned if that doens't sound good enough I wanna see a proper duel mix. @@circuitgamer7759
I just love the way you can hear the corrupted “We All Lift Together” in the tune
I've seen people to combine We Lift Together with For Narmer because they parallel, and I hope you can do it too since you have done both of the songs.
I was thinking that while making this cover the WHOLE time, haha!
@@ColmRMcGuinness Yo, can't wait!
@@ColmRMcGuinness Holy Moly please do it! I never played Warframe, but the combined songs give me the chills. I'm sure your arrangement would take that to a whole new level!
Been a while, pretty please?
bass line is incredible, You have the most incredible vocal range, brilliant cover too!
Can't wait! I'm sure this is gonna be epic, as usual! As a song suggestion, I'd love to see you cover the Chemical Worker's Song, feels like it would fit your bass perfectly!
was literally wondering yesterday if this would come out any time soon, looking forward to it!!!
Awesome! You totally captured the "Please help me, I'm singing this and I don't want to" feeling of this song perfectly. Love it!
The "Please help me, I'm singing this and I don't want to" feeling was basically the whole feeling of the intro to Stolen Plates, one of the missions in The New War. You worked so hard to help them with their freedom... only to see them like... this.
The irony being that a lot of the Solari actually wanted to wear the Veil.
OH VOID, YES! I cannot wait for your rendition of this amazing, ominous piece! ♡♡♡
Since this moment I'm going to use expresions like oh void, inestead of oh god
This is basically what we, the Tenno, feel after hearing this song: Dispair.
This song just put the nail into the coffin as to the consequences of the loss of the Tenno. We did not just lose the fight for the last stand, we lost the war and got conquered. We drop down via the lift and we see the once revolutionary Solaris, whose people fought day and night for their freedom and independence, joyously sing about being ruled under one person. It pains us to see them go against their lifelong drive and just stand and praise Ballas like he saved them from themselves...
yeah, and it made it DAMN better when we beat the shit outta ballas.
Man it got personal when I heard this song. I was ready to take brutha down
Isn't Ball-Ass dead now?
YES
YES
THE MOMENT I HEARD 'FOR NARMER' I THOUGHT "WHAT WOULD COLM'S VERSION SOUND LIKE"
AND THE ANSWER IS "INCREDIBLE AS ALWAYS"
As a man with a couple thousand hours into Warframe across all platforms. I can say this is a certified classic. I love how you covered this!!!
just wanted to let you know, you have a GORGEOUS profile picture!
Like a chant, like a falling petal, like the ever flowing whistle of water over metal. This rocks!
The New War was something else, indescribable. The song We All Lift Together is of the people of Fortuna singing about how hard they've worked to get what they have, and how they will do anything to defend it. This song is from the same people singing about how they've lost the battle and are succumbing to the failure that the Ex-Executor Ballas has taken over Fortuna and how they have ultimately lost everything they have ever loved and known. its a game that really makes ya cry man.
I don't like to sing, especially in front of people because I was told I was very rudely told by my cousin I was a bad signer as a kid.
But my mom came in when I was singing your song and just told me I was a great singer and if I had practice I would be even better. That just uplifted my spirit from years of pain and fear when I sing.
So I thank you for your beautiful song to sing to for that ♥️.
Who asked?
AHHH this is amazing. Warframe makes some SICK music, man. Although I'd be willing to bet it wouldn't be half as sick without Colm involved lol.
Oh no, Ballas got Colm!
Another fantastic rendition guaranteed! Reminder set can't wait!
Sounds absolutely amazing. Definitely has a darker tone compared to the rest of Warframe, but to discover why, you'll have to play the game. Not gonna spoil stuff here!
I love the warframe community
This song made it personal and gave me a strong drive.
For all the issues Warframe may have this song is a perfect example of why I keep coming back for the main quests. They have better storytelling with the relationship between this and We All Lift Together than most games do in their entirety.
This rendition was amazing, not sure how I missed its release.
I'm not sure what I was expecting of this cover, but the fact that you can't make out a single voice just hits THAT much harder.
Especially as a Warframe player that's played through The New War quest.
Epically done, my man. Epically done.
Can't wait to see your rendition of this fantastic piece!
When you close your eyes and listen to the many voices singing and then open your eyes and remember it’s only Colm’s magic!!
This sounds incredible! New war will be a forever remembered story arch! Excited foe the next one!
Oh my goodness, goosebumps. All the different lines are done so well. I might have to try Warframe since it has all this great music
Good idea, don't be afraid (you gonna understand this reference in so much time...) to ask question around, ask for help, the game don't do a great to guide newbie about they have to do...
I’ve been looking forward to this
EDIT: and i'm in awe
Well that was quick and this is going to be amazing, thanks Colm! 😁
I haven't done "The New War" and I don't know what's going to happen there. But I was deeply moved by this composition. I just got goosebumps.
From what it sounds like it’s the BBEG’s Swan song to our universe, I haven’t even gotten to this expansion either and…I’m not looking forward to fighting someone who can do this to the galaxy.
So chilling. Should "We All Lift Together" to warm up after listening to this? We are very /fortuna/te for these amazing covers.
Keep up those puns and you'll be Sleeping in the Cold Below!
He already covered that. It's an awesome listen!
You need to go to a pun-itentiary
I have Narmer loved a pun thread as much as this😂
For the love of The Void you're Kril(ing) me with these puns
I played new war the day after it was released.. i turned up my headphones to max when i heard it ingame! I find it really difficult often to hear a cover version of something you like alredy but you did really really Great! I enjoyed every second thank you very much!
my favourite warframe piece covered by my favourite person? this makes up for the bad week, cant wait
edit: worth the wait
We All Lift was way better... Tbh this song isn't anything special compared to other songs in Warframe. Second Dream soundtrack for example is literal goosebumps.
@@egonieser Froma musical standpoint, they are both very good in their own ways, but what makes this one so special, I think, is probably the context in which it is presented. The emotion behind it is further enhanced by the fact you can feel and hear how this song is a twisted and corrupted sister of We All Lift.
Got to play New War last night, I will say, this song hits *very* different now. Absolute chills, Colm.
Lovely as always, my friend.
So cool - I can hardly wait 🤩
Your voice is like an old god that lives in the wood, he is an old friend that always knows exactly how to comfort you. Completely amazing 🤩
comfort? he just bloody healed my independence!
I love your warframe covers so much! Digital Extremes should just hire you to do some tracks for them in the future. This is so beautiful.
I saw you tweet about covering this and I've been watching and waiting 👀👀
Jesus effing grakatta, chills all over again. Something about your covers for this game - every damned time - sweep me away and put me back into the goosebump-riddled moment I first heard the song. It's so rare you get to experience such powerful moments twice.
When i heard this song for the first time in the game it gave me chills and made me feel like the new war has lost and i lost my everything in the game. My warframes, my allies, all of my other stuffs and this guy here just gave me the exact same feeling almost like a ptsd.
What a fine job man!
Oh my god how come I just saw this??! This is absolutely phenomenal! Warframe is my favorite game and you making this makes me very happy!
That was amazing as always. I've been playing Warframe for many years now and since they've really let loose with musical talent, it has been such a blast. Especially when people like you giving it all you have to bring your own version to life. I'm not gonna lie, I had goosebumps when he started singing and even began crying a bit with so much emotion. Keep up the amazing work.
givin me chills like it's nothing
So glad you did this! Absolutely amazing cover! Then again all the songs you do are amazing so we shouldn't be surprised.
I was waiting for the day that I would see this pop up in my feed
Not listened to a song on repeat as much as this one in a LONG time. Nailed it again Colm
No words. It was so epic and the eerie vibe made it even better!
Having played warframe for a few years now. This actually gave me goose bumps. The new war was a masterpiece and now hearing this just makes me want to replay it and listen to this at the same time. Love this. Awesome voice.
No they got Colm!!!
In all seriousness, you blew this out of the water juts like with it's counterpart. You hit all those somber parts that make the soul cry! The New War was such a good quest, and you are still such a good artist!
This quest line had me abandon leveling to equipping my Uber kill gear to crush all enemies like a berserker was satisfying.
THAT CLIMAX AT THE END HAS ME IN TEARS BRO WTF.
This cover brings a sense of hopelessness and soul that the original could NEVER have had! Your nuts!
I've had to stop playing Warframe for a long while now, not because I think its terrible, it's that my computer cannot handle the glory. But I desperately want to get back into it, because ngl, THE NEW WAR IS AMAZING. It feels like your single handedly inciting revolution, and that's amazing.
Wow... From the mixing to the production and the vocal performance, this is top notch!
Yay! Another WF tune.
I love this song and you covering it in my opinion made it sooo much better!! Thank you for making this Colm!! And as always, keep Colm!
Why the hell are you so good at these? I don’t get it. What’s the secret? Tell me. TELL ME! I NEED TO KNOW. This gave me LITERAL chills.
Colm, this was immensely beautiful yet saddening
Amazing job
Oooh, awesome, absolutely looking forward to this one
Wow this is amazing Colm, at first I couldn’t figure out what was so different and then my ears engaged my brain and I realised you weren’t singing with your usual warm Irish accent, singing with an English accent - very unexpected my lovely and as usual beautifully sung. Thank you so much from your Priestess of Bridget in the UK. X
Been hooked on your Warframe covers lately Colm! Really would love to hear you on an original song!!
We need colm in one of the songs from Keith power
Cool now all that is missing is This is What You Are and you will have nailed all the major quest songs in warframe
A male cover of This Is What You Are could either be the lamest or the best thing ever
@@cubelith7899 don't be sexist geez
Absolutely stunning your voice is incredible as always love your videos no matter what your covering
we need more of these colm you have done 3 that are amazing
I have no words that can describe my gratitude thank you
No joke, when this song released, my first two thoughts were "oh god, this is a sad song" and "I wonder when Colm is going to cover this"
This song always made me emotional. And god forbid you made me feel like I was hearing it for the first time again.
I'm with the others who said "The moment I landed on Fortuna and heard the song I thought it would be a great song for Colm to cover" ... And you made us all right. Thanks 💜🥰
Absolute chills...
Awesome👌👌 looking forward to it as usual😁
Of course absolutely brilliant as always! Colm you never cease to dazzle us with your mesmerizing voice! Wishing you all the best 2022 has to offer. We will always be your biggest supporters and fans! Bless you!🌹
The closest a game has ever gotten to how For Narmer hit was losing the last city in destiny.
But this felt different, it cut deeper.. colder.. and my god do you bring all those feelings crashing back.
Went in to TNW almost completely blind. Knew there was an iconic song named "For Narmer", and there's a color palette called "Narmer", and very little else. Based on the name alone, I imagined "Narmer" was a strange but hopeful figure. I was very, _very_ wrong. Realizing this song had the same melody as We All Lift Together was downright devastating. DE are masters at presentation.
This is amazing dude!! 🥰🥰
As a major Warframe fan I gotta say... this cover was AMAZING! Lets hope you make it into Tennocon 2022 like you did last year
Damn colm you had me burn 1/2 tank of gas In my car cince it's the only place I can binge your videos with 2400 watts of base but soo worth it.
This song actually makes you understand that others suffer if we lose.
You only get better and better thought k was listening to a whole choir 💕
i need this in my Spotify playlist
I got goosebumps listening to this. Amazing!
You have some very awesome talent my friend. I’ve never heard such bass from an untouched voice. You have amazing control and pitch too. I’ve just found your channel so I’ll be listening to everything you have posted.
I'm at work and this came up on the random Playlist that's going.
I. Got. Chills.
This cover made me appreciate the original more.
Not because its better or worse. Your voice added something to it, and now whenever i hear this cover or the original it sounds better.
And i cant explain why.
Man, you got some damn pipes. The tone, the grit, the highs and the lows. Bloody well done sir.
shivers running down my spine....
This one made me a bit emotional. This cover is exceptional and just perfection. Playing the quest that introduced the song made me cry and this cover brought the memories right back. Thank you. Your work is insane in the best way
Yes！！！
I've been playing this on repeat for an hour now and I get more and more amazed at how incredible it sounds
The slight low rumble beneath the main melody just adds so much to an already amazing performance.
YES!!!! This is going to be epic!
Colms voice gives me strength I didn't know I had
One of the most "oh shit.... we lost" moments I've ever had in any media
