In my oppinion, music is one of the best parts of Homestuck. It's not just filler music for the flash animations, it's something that is truly beautiful. Music was actually one of the reasons that I began reading Homestuck. Bravo to all the composers who worked on all these amazing albums!!!
its like were looking into jakes soul through this song its telling us how he wants to be with the fast beats and adventurous feel but at the more gentle parts its how he really is and its like hes in a battle with himself in a way just my thoughts
Has anyone else realised that 6:06 is a really melancholy version of "Carefree Victory"? And then right after that Showtime and Dissension form the most amazing mix of all time.
Hussie said that every page in Homestuck is just a callback to something earlier(I can't remember the actual words). I guess it's kinda the same with the music.
@@walfalcon the composers are just reusing the ame motifs, it's a pretty common thing in games, and here too, and since Jade and Jake are related this only makes sense
Oh my god, if I could get the sheet music to this, and convince my band director, my whole band could play this! It has many parts, a good balance, and is just difficult enough to pose a challenge! *squee*
gamingLegacies I will try, but next year I will have a new band director, so I am not sure how it would go over if I suggested it. Thanks for the advice though!
I'm so sad that homestuck is ending this year. This webcomic is an experience in a lifetime. Let's hope the game will come out, be good and maybe even have a sequel. ANYTHING to make homestuck last more.
Well, think about it. Those are all very action/adventure heavy movies that im sure Jake likes a lot so its no surprise that youre reminded of those movies. I am too.
Crocker Corp Ship. One of the most howlin' best Homestuck moments ever, because excitedness and giant machines and weird timey stuff AND Act1 Nostalgia combined. In one single Flash. This is ART, guys.
Homestuck music is something I used to listen to a lot, though not anymore. It's a rare time that the RUclips algorithm decided to start putting some Homestuck music back into my recommendations, and so I decided to give a few a re-listen, but so far this song has honestly had the largest impact on me. This is one of my favorite songs from the entire series, and it felt bittersweet to hear again after the past 3 years...
"final update"... wouldn't exactly say that. he said he'll just start updating regularly, but he hasn't gotten too much done over the gigapause for some reason. honestly, of course he has a huge backlog most likely, but it'll probably take at least from half a year to a year to finish.
I had this going while playing Kerbal Space Progam just now, during a risky ascent with a heavy ship. It even got to the calmer part at 4:49 just as I got into stable orbit. It seems more epic than such a goofy game deserves.
+yoji0 i was doing an intercontinental cargo mission, one wing broke off, it then stalled, but i managed to bring it out of the stall when 4:53 and i made a heroic and memorable flight that day.
+Henry Hao My friend once brought a jet he called the wasp down for a landing on the island runway, but hit the hill and wound up reducing the vehicle to a unicycle. The cockpit, roll wings and a single landing gear. The best part was that he made it to the end of the runway by coasting down the hill! xD
I remember i had a mod for skyrim that changed all the music to be stuff from homestuck and this is bringing back unbridled feelings of nostalgia for both. I might cry
this song literally sounds like something from a huge hollywood movie it's so impressive aahhhh... i used to always listen to this while running and it made me feel so fucking epic
I love how there are elements from the Avatar Score in this track (e.g. 2:25 on this track correlates with 1:55 on The Bioluminescence of the Night or 3:10 correlates with 0:50 on War, just to name a few) I mean, come on that's bloody brilliant!
There's a mod that replaced the music with HS stuff and this is the travel song for a lot of areas. I'd recommend looking for it on the Steam Workshop.
I get a RPG vibe from this like your in a cut scene our hero's have just escaped deaths cold grasp and now they must venture forth to destroy the evil that plagues the land or some shit
You chance upon the SLAB OF THE JADED FOOL'S ENNUI. You don't know the slab is called that, but that's what the slab is called. Looks like a good spot to decompress after your strange ordeal through canonspace.
I like how this soundtrack includes all kinds of instruments associated with different kinds of adventure. This can be seen best from 2:26 to 2:37, where the music first reminds of a deep, crystal filled cave, then of a jungle style tribe and lastly of the soaring hot desert, while the melody itself with its ups and downs is reminiscent of the sea and is commonly used in pirate like themes (especially clear from 1:34 to 1:40).
I read on TVTropes' Homestuck Crowning Music page that this is actually the longest song in the entirety of the Homestuck discography, discounting medleys like Cascade (and it's dubious that Cascade is so much a "medley" as it is a score). And IMO, it fully deserves this length. The section beginning around 4:50 reminds me in some ways of "Romancing the Stone" and similar 80s romantic movies and in some ways of the classical majesty of Gustav Holst's "Jupiter" and John Williams' scores. Bravo.
I LOVE [S] Jane: Enter. It starts out with Another Jungle, cool SBURB-y sounding song, when Jane is starting to play. Then it completely whiplashes to showing Roxy and Dirk living in sea Hitler's water apocalypse, being chased by drones, with this hells of intense soundtrack. If I'm not mistaken, the general fandom reaction to the flash was something along the lines of "WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUCK"
What i think 0:00 HIC with battleships, NoirB2 and drones/mechs appear, everyone prepares for battle 1:13 FIGHT 1:24 John, Dave, Rose, Karkat, Terezi, Kanaya fight 2:20 Jane joins HIC, Jake and Roxy join fight 3:05 Jane regains control of her body, joins fight 3:09 Jade fights on side of condesce, fights kids 4:40 Fight builds to climax, all the kids die 5:05 Jake does Hopey thing PM, Jack, Slick, Dirk join 7:07 Jade regains control 7:39 Caliborn loses JackB2, HIC flees 8:17 Pose as team.
I wish there was sheet music for this, like for a high school band or orchestra! I've already graduated high school, but I would so go back just to play this! Out of all the Homestuck music, this has got to me my most favorite song.
You know something I love about Homestuck? That it teaches you such a rich visual-symbolic language that Flash animations with no words at all can convey major plot developments.
I'm just thinking of the days.. When these things will be nostalgic, and sometime in our future, we'll come upon them, and relisten. And it'll all hit us, and we'll sit there and cry like a baby. Yet, whomever is with us at the time, won'tknow why. And we'll know of the bond we built with Homestuck, the characters, and our own friends we made through it. It's making me cry right now..
I really sincerely hope that at some point this song will feature again in full, beyond the beginning excerpt showcased in [S] Jane: Enter. This entire track just resounds of something so amazing that I would just melt at seeing what Hussie would set to this. LOVE THIS SO MUCH
this is so specific but the beginning reminds me of when in the start of tales of the abyss and you like go on that airship thing and ur exploring the levels of the place
One thing I love about homestuck is that they make all these awesome songs that go along with flashes that are usually full of nonsense.
Everything changed when the Crocker nation attacked.

Shout out to really long homestuck songs, gotta be one of my favorite genders.
In my oppinion, music is one of the best parts of Homestuck. It's not just filler music for the flash animations, it's something that is truly beautiful. Music was actually one of the reasons that I began reading Homestuck. Bravo to all the composers who worked on all these amazing albums!!!
I will not click the play button.
Athena Zheng God dammit Athena click the play button. It's just music.
No. I refuse.
Athena Zheng Oh well. You're missing out though. It is perfectly acceptable to enjoy the music without actually being in the fandom, many people do.
Meow.
this actually sounds like its out of a good action adventure movie soundtrack
Kinda reminds me of Tintin for some reason.
That movie was the shit tho
this music does have the spielberg fraymotif thrown around in there
@@thefelipeg08 did
did you just call it a fraymotif
@@ziyair2998 I am actually a dumbass, but I forgot the word for it and fraymotif was all I could think of lol. I think it's clear what I meant tho
This song just made my morning toast into an adventure.
@@Brackets_Guy bruh
*_*EPIC MORNING TOAST MOMENT*_*
The toast is Adventure. You have A Taste for toast.
>Ended up being a John song instead of a Jake song.
Might be associated with both. Welp, not only they look alike and have the same initials in their chumhandles, they still have several similarities.
+Ignis Solus A part of the song was also used in the flash when Jane entered.
I actually wanna think that
John --> Jake
Not John --> Jane xD
Heh.
+I Can't Think of a Name Yes when GCat became a bitch
it's supposed to hapen.
he was making it HAPEN.
i know this comment is ancient but just to note, time on my side was a dave song used for dirk, and even in death was a rose song used for roxy.
its like were looking into jakes soul through this song
its telling us how he wants to be with the fast beats and adventurous feel
but at the more gentle parts its how he really is and its like hes in a battle with himself in a way
just my thoughts
And then Dirk gives him a boner

i thoUGHT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A MOMENT

im going to CRY
I realized rereading the comic that a section of this is a remix of Jade's first strife music.

Nah, this belongs in a Homestuck Anime.

The excitement of the song persists throughout the ENTIRE thing. Every single part feels like a finale.
I'm in love with this song. I've listened to it while walking home from school. Lemme tell ya it made it seem so much cooler than it actually was

homies brought out the whole orchestra for this one
Has anyone else realised that 6:06 is a really melancholy version of "Carefree Victory"?
And then right after that Showtime and Dissension form the most amazing mix of all time.

i actually thought about recomending this to my highschool band and this song reminds me of something we played before
it sounds so much like something that would be in zelda
homestuck is the best, literally :D
I actually had to do a doubletake because I thought Wind Waker music started playing.
At long last, the first of the final update has graced us. Let this song herald its coming.
"final update"... wouldn't exactly say that. he said he'll just start updating regularly, but he hasn't gotten too much done over the gigapause for some reason.

just wow
We're all afraid he might hear us
GUYS, IT'S A REMIX OF DISSENSION
OMG it is, but I like this version better. XD
+Dirkjake Is BÆ love your username and pro pic
...which is a remix of showtime which is the very first Homestuck soundtrack.
I get a RPG vibe from this like your in a cut scene our hero's have just escaped deaths cold grasp and now they must venture forth to destroy the evil that plagues the land or some shit
i seriously thought that halfway through the song, it'd be titanic.
I had a sip of root beer while I listened to this... It was the most epic sip of root beer I have and will ever have in my life.
this is some two steps from hell shit
this is unacceptable and so are you Reminds me of movie music proper, not trailer music production. But the two are close enough.

Jake English. A symphony.
The ironic thing is, Jake's realized that he doesn't even like "adventure."
I can't get over with this song, its really a beautiful piece man. 😂😂😂😂
Ain't that a cute little punk.
Grandpa Harley I say
thus song, THIS, SONG, is amazing
_I just realized a part of this played in [S] Sigh and [S] The deepest sigh of all._
Reminds of Legend of Zelda. A LOT.
This song right here. This is what's gonna play in the final flash, I'm sure of it.
:3
One comment a year? I'll find out if it does play in the final flash within a week
someone has GOT to analyze the time signatures of this song
okay ive found 6/4, 5/4, and 4/4 sections
i need a full song with the calm part of this
I read on TVTropes' Homestuck Crowning Music page that this is actually the longest song in the entirety of the Homestuck discography, discounting medleys like Cascade (and it's dubious that Cascade is so much a "medley" as it is a score).

This would be the best marching band song ever!!
A little note to myself when watching this: the build up to when it starts getting good is at around 0:55
I LOVE [S] Jane: Enter. It starts out with Another Jungle, cool SBURB-y sounding song, when Jane is starting to play. Then it completely whiplashes to showing Roxy and Dirk living in sea Hitler's water apocalypse, being chased by drones, with this hells of intense soundtrack. If I'm not mistaken, the general fandom reaction to the flash was something along the lines of "WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUCK"
...This is by far the best description of Homestuck ever created folks. People, you are witnessing a first in history in doing so.
this song has been stuck in my head since rewatching that one act 6 soundpage
This song remind me...
JAKE Sparrovw...
Please, don't hurt me...
I mean- you're not wrong???
What i think
0:00 HIC with battleships, NoirB2 and drones/mechs appear, everyone prepares for battle
1:13 FIGHT
1:24 John, Dave, Rose, Karkat, Terezi, Kanaya fight
2:20 Jane joins HIC, Jake and Roxy join fight
3:05 Jane regains control of her body, joins fight
3:09 Jade fights on side of condesce, fights kids
4:40 Fight builds to climax, all the kids die
5:05 Jake does Hopey thing PM, Jack, Slick, Dirk join
7:07 Jade regains control
7:39 Caliborn loses JackB2, HIC flees
8:17 Pose as team.
They fucked you over mate
My god, this is by far the most proffesional homestuck musical piece Ive heard to date.
This is perfection!
"a taste for adventure" more like BRB CLIMBING MT. EVEREST
Ahh yes, the theme song of The man, The mith, the lie Jake English
is this an optimisticduelist reference
I wish there was sheet music for this, like for a high school band or orchestra! I've already graduated high school, but I would so go back just to play this! Out of all the Homestuck music, this has got to me my most favorite song.
makes me wanna go out on an adventure :O
i just realized this was a remix of dissension i'm such an idiot
this would be so cool to play in an orchestra/concert band. i wish my school would do this :(
id doesnt sound like homestuck, but then you hear that showtime in the end, and it all come together
Sound is so perfect. I like this.
You know something I love about Homestuck? That it teaches you such a rich visual-symbolic language that Flash animations with no words at all can convey major plot developments.
6:58 for a few moments it sounds like the Back To The Future theme...
Deer gods this is the most dramatic Homestuck music I've ever heard. And that's saying something. Amazing piece.
Homestuck Music will never cease to surprise me.
I seriously feel like this would make an amazing marching band show....
I'm just thinking of the days.. When these things will be nostalgic, and sometime in our future, we'll come upon them, and relisten. And it'll all hit us, and we'll sit there and cry like a baby. Yet, whomever is with us at the time, won'tknow why. And we'll know of the bond we built with Homestuck, the characters, and our own friends we made through it. It's making me cry right now..
Thanks, I recently got in contact with one of them. I am defiantly going to check out some more of their works.
I really should stop listening to this, cause it always gives me a huge urge to fight someone/thing
I can just not get over how amazingly well done this song is...
Such a beautiful soundtrack
I really sincerely hope that at some point this song will feature again in full, beyond the beginning excerpt showcased in [S] Jane: Enter. This entire track just resounds of something so amazing that I would just melt at seeing what Hussie would set to this. LOVE THIS SO MUCH
I listened to this while bored, once.
It made my game of 52 pickup AWESOME.
Love how this whole thing is a love letter to the Warcraft 2 OST.
this is now my absolute favorite homestuck song, so beautiful
this is so specific but the beginning reminds me of when in the start of tales of the abyss and you like go on that airship thing and ur exploring the levels of the place
Sorta sounds like Halo music. Reach especially.
This is...epic. I wish my band would play this at school...
This song simply conveys everything that is Jake English.
It will be playing in my head when the final battle comes.
