Hey Marco, i have a suggestion! When uploading these videos, you could append "feat. [Guest's name]" at the end of the title! This would have multiple benefits, it would help people who are associated with your guests, like friends and family, find these videos, and it would help people who are interested in finding an episode with a specific guest again to do so. Of course, you would have to check with your guests wether they are okay with being featured in the title, though.

That'd be great. She's honestly a precious gem, even participating with the Team Fortress 2 voice actors to be the Administrator in their recent banger of a song: The Sandvich blues.
I don’t comment a lot, but I watch all of your videos and this is one of my favorite guests you’ve ever had on! You can tell how genuinely inspired Christine was when you showed her music like she was taking notes and everything, love her! Also, the whole generational perspective with her daughter is really cool to see!
I saw the thumbnail and was like "OMG IS THAT CHRISTINE????!!!!" and go SOOOO excited! I remember first hearing her iirc singing "O Don Fatale" in a concert back in Chicago, and immediately fell in love with her artistry; so cool to see this!
Last week I went to the - Paris - Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth concert. I brought my father who just LOVES classical music, it's what he has been listening to since he was young, probably because it's what his father was listening to as well ? He was surprised when he saw Orchestre Colonne would be playing with a choir (apparently the best or 2nd best french private orchestra ? Why would an orchestra with such a reputation play this ?). He also already knew and played To Zanarkand and he already heard about Nobuo Uematsu from me, but he never got deeper than that. He loved the concert, and was surprised when some cosplayer showed up. But then people went "Ooooh !" when they announced what the next piece would be and there was a standing ovation at the end, he was not expecting people to be this invested in classical music! He probably didn't think modern classical music could be this loved by young people. After that he asked me questions about the franchise, I think he might finally get into it x) I'm glad people are acknowledging how powerful the emotions and memories that are tied to this music are. By the way the concert was full, all seating taken, the room had 3.5k seats. The 2nd representation that night was full as well, so 7k+ people experienced live FF7 music that day !
That's awesome. The closest my parents ever got was my mother chancing upon a Hans Zimmer Song from Call of Duty on the local "Culture" Radio. By no means lesser, but Zimmer's work on CoD is very much programmatic.
On the topic of songs becoming memes, I find that it’s often because that specific piece is so good at evoking certain kinds of emotions from viewers. Bonus points if it can do it in less time than a Vine used to take. One Winged Angel’s opening is so iconic and alarming, it became the sound of sudden panic for a generation of gamers. The Only Thing They Fear is You is great at communicating “I’m locking/locked the fuck in” as quickly and viscerally as possible.
I don't recall who said it, but one thing that sticks with me when it comes to music is something along the lines of "If you have the right piece of music with the right scene, it will stick with you forever." Which given that I'd heard of the sentiment shortly after the torture scene in Reservoir Dogs to the tune of "Stuck In The Middle With You", all I can say is yup. And it's a sentiment that works for tv, film and games.
Ludwig is absolutely peak video game music design. So insanely intricate throughout the song, and that second phase transition (in the song and in game lol) never gets old. Saved me from having more of a headache trying to kill this guy for the first time in ng+.
Hey, Marco only played single ace combat song this time. He's weaning himself off the addiction slowly but surely. 🤣 This was a great video, the guests were a lot of fun. If they join again, gotta do the opera scene and dancing mad, they're so good.
Unsung War is such an Unsung song from the series. The story of Raz Griz and the way this song weaves into the story of Ace Combat 5 immediately puts me in tears😊
"You know one winged angel... you know we should play that... actually I am playing that now" between the funny story and parental interaction before that and this free form fun "we'll do it live" vibe was so funny to me.
One of my favorite episodes! It was really fun to hear the perspectives of essentially three different generations on the same musical piece. I think it would be really cool to do more of this kinda stuff. I know you can't do XIV on every video, it would get old fast, but I can't help but hope for some Soken bangers XD
I've never been a huge fan of the rendition of One Winged Angel you showed. Its not bad, but not having the higher tones for the choir really takes out a lot of unsettling feelings from the track, in addition to the whole Jenova is his "mother" and a space calamity set on destroying the world.
That's the first time I've heard this version, and it does feel somewhat lacking. For example, it doesn't have the descending bass notes right after the "Sephiroth!" lines starting at 43:58 (probably by a tuba), I had to play them in my head. But I guess it's understandable Marco doesn't want to play the same couple of versions over and over in every such video.
Agreed. Im not as intimately familiar with the piece as most other people in the comments here, but even i noticed this version seemed to be noticeably less impactfull than the original or other renditions.
Yeah this was a really weird choice, if he wanted to use a live performance version we have Distant Worlds right there to pull from who do this so much more justice. The choir is so weak and amateurish in this version...
He's wearing a Warframe shirt! Speaking of which, I wish he'd shown them the Duviri Paradox or even Tenebre Rosso Sangue. Other than that though, great video as always, Marco!
I was not prepared for Unsung War and the sheer onslaught of emotion it was gonna throw my way. It's funny, because the short intro part is somewhat generic in comparison, which didn't bother me but also, like, didn't immediately blow me away. When it Started, though? My god. Sobbing mess within 2.5 seconds. I love when songs do this to me. When they sweep you away and all you can do is just ride out the emotional wave and let it take you wherever it goes. And goddammit this piece took me places. Beautiful. Absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention 🙏
This is a great video. Mom has a great energy, and she is very passionate about her craft. With the daughter's resonating views and Marko's takes it weaves such a great picture of generational journey through music that makes me think how much music really empowers out life. No matter the time, no matter the place, no matter the context.
I like what you said at 10:30 about the debate of "the music should be listened to on its own for a pure reaction" vs the opposite, because I think what it comes down to is that the music of an opera, an anime, a video game are all designed to be listened to with the context of the scene they are in. The mediums of visual arts, music, and writing come together to give us these emotions they are trying to convey, so really listening to a piece without its context is like only having one ingredient thats suppose to go into a whole dish.
It's sad that there is still gate keeping in gaming to such a degree that Max feels she can't just say 'yes, I'm a gamer' but qualifies it. Max, you have game art on your walls, you play games, you are a gamer :)
I've heard one winged angel a number of times on this channel, but I really appreciated the orchestral piece you chose for this one. I hadn't heard it before, and it felt quite fresh to listen to. Loved their rendition of it.
1:41:01 laughs in Nikke: “I feel so alive” as the gods damned Cash Shop theme. Yeah, they got the memo. Get people in the mood to spend money and they will
I know The Only Thing They Fear Is You is your go-to Mick Gordon track, and for very, VERY good reason. But you should totally check out his rendition of The Instinct from Killer Instinct. It’s SO good.
Around 10:00, this is a great way of putting it. It feels like you get exponentially more out of a soundtrack when you have multiple kinds of context to understand it through, one being the association with the given scene or subject within the game or series or movie, the other being your personal memories, experiences or thoughts. Sometimes one overrides the other, sometimes they can act in harmony and elevate the experience in a unique way. I honestly struggle to find access to regular music, be it pop, rock, classical, whatever, as I am so used to that emotional and experiential pathway to music. The exceptions of non-sountrack music that I do like are largely tracks and/or bands that I have grown accustomed to in my childhood. Even my current love for folk and regional music was first born through experiencing them via soundtracks, such as the skandinavian folk culture through the series Vikings or something like the anime film Akira for other tribal soundscapes.
Cara Mia always makes me cry. It's simplistic but it's, you know; it's the feeling of a mother saying "my daughter, you are an adult now and I need to pass you on to your own self, out to the world where I cant protect you or be with you anymore, and I love you".
I've never heard "Our First Singing" before. That is absolutely gorgeous. It feels like it encompasses the entire hero's journey in a single piece. There are moments that feel mysterious, moments of tension that feel very unsettled, moments that sound heroic and moments that feel like discovery. There's a sense of wonder and beauty mixed with some slight danger, but nothing that you can't deal with and ultimate come out on top of. Its practically brimming with optimism without feeling bombastic. There's a certain peacefulness through the whole piece.
It's fun to watch Marco get a little verklempt whenever "Unsung War" comes on. But that's what the music in the Ace Combat series does - it sticks with you. It's such a completely unique experience that it's hard to find it in any other game.
About Bloodborne score being difficult to do live, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra did a show that was aired on swedish national television called "Score - Videogame music with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra" where they included a Bloodborne medley piece with vocals by Sabina Zweiacker. It is the only piece of music that has ever triggered my fight or flight reflex into 100% flight mode. You can find it here on youtube.
1:10:35 there's this track I think a lot of people know, called Resonance by HOME, I can without a doubt say it's one of the most nostalgic sounding pieces of music ever
i love when two people with a common interest introduce someone to that interest, whether i'm watching it happen or doing the introducing. there's a mischief in conspiring to make the introduction in front of the person who understands most of the words but not how they fit together. i've experienced this quite a bit with Warframe recently and it's just a lot of fun
Man, you should've shown them GRIS Pt.2. GRIS is about a woman's grief after losing her mother and in the climax of the game where GRIS Pt.2 plays is when she is finally, through all the grief, is able to hear her mother's voice again and it helps her pick up all her pieces and move on. It would've been interesting to show that to these two.
This is crazy 1:40:10 (I don't know almost anything about creating music) but since the first time I started listening Metal like at 12, I've always think Opera and Classical music Metal were related and hearing this so much years later it made me smile a lot 🥹
This was a great video. I wholeheartedly agree with your belief in pushing for some sort of mixed programming to draw the parallels and provide the context for live performances with video game music. On that note. Perhaps you can even give some clues for those in your audience and throughout the internet, and maybe some concert hall managers, by doing some videos comparing classical/opera pieces with game music that have a good fit or might feel good together? Essentially even something like a 30 min concert that you curate and present either to a guest or just to the viewer? But I digress... This was a great interview and a fun video. ^_^
Ahahaha! is there a another Christine part coming in the future? This was so fun to watch. I'd love to see her hear some of the other legendary video game music. Slave Knight Gael, Tenebre Rosso Sangue, and others. I would love to hear her thoughts and see her reaction.
whenever marco starts to explain to the guests about these complicated scene made me feel like im in his shoes lmao. Explaining video game scenarios to people is so complicated to me cus im not sure if they would understand two huge rocks and a hand of god claps in the air making the energy in the atmosphere fizzle out of existence etc.
I just realized that one of the reasons I love this channel is that I love seeing Opera singers bop to Chainsaw and lawnmower based electronic metal. (Doom) As well as Keygen Church, which is not really that far off... (Ultrakill)
Incredible guests! Their exciment is so adorable to see!! Would love to have them back. On another note, I truly recommend to listen to some Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origins tracks if you're looking for some epic orchestral works. It has the best rendition of the FF Main Theme (named "Opening") and one of my favorite final boss tracks from all times (Become Chaos.)
I didn't think you looked like human shrek until you said so but now I can't unsee it. I started watching this channel when you showed up shaved more often so I never really thought anything of it until you said something 🤣
I love One Winged Angel, it's beyond epic! I also happen to love Final Fantasy VII, so... Hmm, "The Only Thing They Fear Is You" gives me Spiritbox vibes, anyone else? That whole "opera is metal" thing is kinda interesting, I feel like classical music and metal are closely related as genres. You can take a metal song, strip it down, and play it on, let's say a piano, and you get a classical masterpiece. One good example of this is Miyako, of the japanese metal band Lovebites, who turned Helloween's "Eagle Fly Free" into a piano arrangement. Another one is The Harp Twins, who played Metallica's "One" on, you guessed it, a harp. The other way around works as well, if your name is Tina S, you can take a classical piece like Moonlight Sonata, plug it in, and turn it into a shredfest. Then there's the finnish band Apocalyptica, they play cellos, instead of electric guitars. Oh, and we must not forget about Tuomas Holopainen of Nightwish aka Metal Mozart. And speaking of opera singers being metalheads, Elizabeth Zharoff, aka "The Charismatic Voice" here on RUclips is one example of an opera singer who seems to be well on her way to metalhead status. There are a lot of beautiful game soundtracks, that sound absolutely amazing when orchestrated.
It was nice to get so many perspectives this time. Great choice, you tracks to play as well. I know if they had soulsborne music in a concert hall, I'd drive 4 hours to see it.
I would love to see Christine reacting to the opera theme of FFVI, maybe even the original one, with the visuals and lyrics. It's so incredible what Uematsu did with the tools he had at his disposal.
Jessica Curry (composer for So Let Us Melt) is such an amazing creator. Please show some of your guests something from the Everybody's Gone to the Rapture soundtrack, also done by Ms. Curry, it's another amazing soundtrack!
i like that marco is pretty much introducing every other song with their story and how they were made and then he comes to Doom Soundtrack and says 'here's the only thing they fear is you I let the song speak to itself'

3:00 She has kitty ear headphones and a Hollow Knight poster... she's a gamer
I would love to see marco interview Ellen McLain (GLaDOS voice actress) since she has a background on opera, that could be a cool video honestly.
Great idea
100% this
That'd be great. She's honestly a precious gem, even participating with the Team Fortress 2 voice actors to be the Administrator in their recent banger of a song: The Sandvich blues.
@@Scout_Brian lemme see
@@MarcoMeatball Bro is cooking now
Weve all known it before now but i dont think its brought up much. You clean up well Marco. That fresh shave lookin nice for the ad read
hahaha aw thank you.
So true he cleans up so well
You can see how proud Christine is when she hears her daughter talking about music in such a deep way and that's really charming.
when marco says "this is kinda of a meme in my channel", I grab a coin, head is ace combat, tail is ludwig. There is no way I lose this coin toss.
And if the coin lands on its edge, it's Tenebre rosso sangue.
I don’t comment a lot, but I watch all of your videos and this is one of my favorite guests you’ve ever had on! You can tell how genuinely inspired Christine was when you showed her music like she was taking notes and everything, love her!

I saw the thumbnail and was like "OMG IS THAT CHRISTINE????!!!!" and go SOOOO excited! I remember first hearing her iirc singing "O Don Fatale" in a concert back in Chicago, and immediately fell in love with her artistry; so cool to see this!
I LOVE Christine's energy! She needs to come back.
Seeing her bob her head to The Only Thing They Fear is You while her daughter was just completely stoic beneath her was so funny.
This is such a wholesome one, from the mix of genuine excitement and genuine mom-barrassment.

You need to have them on again, they are great. And you need to show them dancing mad.
Cara Mia Addio will never not make me tear up, such an impactful ending to a series to that’ll always stick with me
On the topic of songs becoming memes, I find that it’s often because that specific piece is so good at evoking certain kinds of emotions from viewers.

All of bloodborne is a masterpiece OST!
ok I have to say that the ad is very on point like it fits very well with marco to the point that it doesn't feel like an ad at all.
That’s awesome thank you I really like manscaped and I have used their stuff for like a year now.
Hey, Marco only played single ace combat song this time. He's weaning himself off the addiction slowly but surely. 🤣

Unsung War is such an Unsung song from the series. The story of Raz Griz and the way this song weaves into the story of Ace Combat 5 immediately puts me in tears😊
I will NEVER get tired of hearing The Unsung War.
THIS, Zero & Unsung War live rent free in my head at all times
"You know one winged angel... you know we should play that... actually I am playing that now" between the funny story and parental interaction before that and this free form fun "we'll do it live" vibe was so funny to me.

"Its a game about fighter jets how good can the music be
oh"
everyone getting introduced to ace combat music
I can tell Christine became an Uematsu fan and id love to see her react to Theme of Love from FF IV. hope you have them back on at some point.
I LOVE Christine Goerke, and this video is EVERYTHING.
oh man, Maxor captures it best about "Ludwig, the holy blade" and i quote "I AM ALIVE."
Would love to see another episode with those two ladies. This was awesome
Love the vid Marco, always a joy to have such great guests
Glad you enjoyed it
Never tire of people geeking over Ludwig The Holy Blade. Utter Perfection.
It does not matter how many time i'm hearring astralgia of phantasm, i always have extreme chills.

I've heard one winged angel a number of times on this channel, but I really appreciated the orchestral piece you chose for this one. I hadn't heard it before, and it felt quite fresh to listen to. Loved their rendition of it.
If you wanna hear a fun rendition of One winged Angel, someone on RUclips here did a cover in the style of Doom. It's a good one imo
It felt so great seeing how young all those musicians are! It's so cool.

i love when two people with a common interest introduce someone to that interest, whether i'm watching it happen or doing the introducing. there's a mischief in conspiring to make the introduction in front of the person who understands most of the words but not how they fit together. i've experienced this quite a bit with Warframe recently and it's just a lot of fun
Man, you should've shown them GRIS Pt.2. GRIS is about a woman's grief after losing her mother and in the climax of the game where GRIS Pt.2 plays is when she is finally, through all the grief, is able to hear her mother's voice again and it helps her pick up all her pieces and move on. It would've been interesting to show that to these two.
I've seen Christine Goerke at Lyric Opera in Chicago several times, and she is as good as it gets for strong operatic soprano parts like Wagner.
This is crazy 1:40:10 (I don't know almost anything about creating music) but since the first time I started listening Metal like at 12, I've always think Opera and Classical music Metal were related and hearing this so much years later it made me smile a lot 🥹
This was a great video. I wholeheartedly agree with your belief in pushing for some sort of mixed programming to draw the parallels and provide the context for live performances with video game music.
On that note. Perhaps you can even give some clues for those in your audience and throughout the internet, and maybe some concert hall managers, by doing some videos comparing classical/opera pieces with game music that have a good fit or might feel good together? Essentially even something like a 30 min concert that you curate and present either to a guest or just to the viewer?
But I digress... This was a great interview and a fun video. ^_^
@@Gandalor75 I want to but the classical copyright is garbo
oh hey. I sang in the Carmina Burana in a 200 man choir in college. Awesome experience.
Ahahaha! is there a another Christine part coming in the future? This was so fun to watch. I'd love to see her hear some of the other legendary video game music.
Slave Knight Gael, Tenebre Rosso Sangue, and others. I would love to hear her thoughts and see her reaction.
whenever marco starts to explain to the guests about these complicated scene made me feel like im in his shoes lmao. Explaining video game scenarios to people is so complicated to me cus im not sure if they would understand two huge rocks and a hand of god claps in the air making the energy in the atmosphere fizzle out of existence etc.
Ah, Lappy. To this day I am happy that their music managed to become official. I imagine Lappy was in the clouds when it happened.
I just realized that one of the reasons I love this channel is that I love seeing Opera singers bop to Chainsaw and lawnmower based electronic metal. (Doom)
As well as Keygen Church, which is not really that far off... (Ultrakill)
Please invite the two of them back again, if you can. Having a parent-child duo was interesting, and I enjoyed their input and reactions.
I heard Goerke in Atlanta this year! She was good
La Goerke is amazing
I was unreasonably annoyed that Ludwig transition on screen didn't sync with the music lol.
Incredible guests! Their exciment is so adorable to see!! Would love to have them back.
On another note, I truly recommend to listen to some Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origins tracks if you're looking for some epic orchestral works. It has the best rendition of the FF Main Theme (named "Opening") and one of my favorite final boss tracks from all times (Become Chaos.)
I didn't think you looked like human shrek until you said so but now I can't unsee it. I started watching this channel when you showed up shaved more often so I never really thought anything of it until you said something 🤣
HHahahhaha
Lost Ark does really have some hitters. Both the regular version of Starlight isle and it's Jazz version are wonderful!
the moment you pick up a second game you're a gamer.
I love One Winged Angel, it's beyond epic! I also happen to love Final Fantasy VII, so... Hmm, "The Only Thing They Fear Is You" gives me Spiritbox vibes, anyone else? That whole "opera is metal" thing is kinda interesting, I feel like classical music and metal are closely related as genres. You can take a metal song, strip it down, and play it on, let's say a piano, and you get a classical masterpiece. One good example of this is Miyako, of the japanese metal band Lovebites, who turned Helloween's "Eagle Fly Free" into a piano arrangement. Another one is The Harp Twins, who played Metallica's "One" on, you guessed it, a harp. The other way around works as well, if your name is Tina S, you can take a classical piece like Moonlight Sonata, plug it in, and turn it into a shredfest. Then there's the finnish band Apocalyptica, they play cellos, instead of electric guitars. Oh, and we must not forget about Tuomas Holopainen of Nightwish aka Metal Mozart. And speaking of opera singers being metalheads, Elizabeth Zharoff, aka "The Charismatic Voice" here on RUclips is one example of an opera singer who seems to be well on her way to metalhead status.
There are a lot of beautiful game soundtracks, that sound absolutely amazing when orchestrated.
That moment when she immidiately realizes what song it is based on and just bops along was fantastic.
It was nice to get so many perspectives this time. Great choice, you tracks to play as well. I know if they had soulsborne music in a concert hall, I'd drive 4 hours to see it.
Please listen to The Talos Principle soundtrack, its truly great, especially if you play the game. It adds layers
This has been my favorite of these so far and I’m only 20 minutes in.
It's awesome of Mick Gordon to give everyone that purchases his albums a free game, it's a shame that Bethesda screwed him over.
I would love to see Christine reacting to the opera theme of FFVI, maybe even the original one, with the visuals and lyrics. It's so incredible what Uematsu did with the tools he had at his disposal.
Real talk you need to assemble your Avengers and start busting out covers for some of these songs. You know way to many insanely cool people XD
Jessica Curry (composer for So Let Us Melt) is such an amazing creator. Please show some of your guests something from the Everybody's Gone to the Rapture soundtrack, also done by Ms. Curry, it's another amazing soundtrack!
"Opera, it makes you ill in a good way!" Love it!
i like that marco is pretty much introducing every other song with their story and how they were made and then he comes to Doom Soundtrack and says 'here's the only thing they fear is you I let the song speak to itself'
I love your content so much!
One Winged Angel FOREVER! i never get tired of its one of my all time top 3 themes in general
