She is made up of Sapphire and Ruby, Sapphire is calm and stable, can tell the future, ruby is a soldier, strong and sorts. They were in a situation where they committed a crime, fuse, which was unacceptable at the time, several thousand years ago. They ran away and fell in love and fused and they have become so stable with their powers and emotionally. Because they are so stable, its very hard for a non Steven universe person to realize that they are actually 2 people.
Low key though the song is a metaphor. Jasper represents homophobia in the show and Garnet is literally the creation of 2 lesbian gem's love. She's stronger than Jasper's hate
@@JM-ft4js jasper herself isn't a metaphor for homophobia per-se, but rather an example of what a society that refuses to accept any change from the norm can create, as she is literally the strongest non fused and non diamond, and fully represents the diamond authority's hatred for any and all that is not a perfect part for their "greater plan", and is also a victim of that sociey, as the pressure to keep up appearences literally made her unable to understand or recieve any form of positivity, like EVER, to the point that the only relationships she managed to form were all toxic and abusive
@@trainerziv2043 um... You do realize that the whole gemworld society is an allegory for homophobia right? In their case it's heterophobia since they didn't want to see non same gems fusing. But still in the same context, it's an allegory for how in many societies even 'murican society there is still homophobia and people who even lash out at those who openly are proud and comfortable with being who they are... ie Jasper hating Garnet. Even though Jasper is in the closet cuz when she fused with Lapis, she liked it and even wanted to be back fused with her when separated but still hated on other fusions.
You'll probably get a ton of comments point it out, but the song is actually literal. Garnet (singer, who's voiced by Estelle) is _literally_ two gems fused together. If you look at her visor during this song, you can actually tell which gem is the more dominant for each line (red for Ruby, blue for Sapphire).
The lyrics are in reference to the fact that Garnet is a fusion between Ruby and Sapphire. “This is Garnet, back together.” They had been separated on that ship and Steven brought em back together. “The two of us ain’t gonna follow your rules. Come at me without any of your fancy tools. Let’s go just me and you, let’s go just 1 on 2.” There’s many more references to this throughout and you should definitely check out this episode and read the lyrics. Nice catch on the chords tho! I had no idea it followed Just the two of us which again is another reference.
@@DavidTheHooman I would just do yourself a favor and watch it anyways. This is the show that got me interested in music theory on TOP of having such an amazing story. At the very least I would deeply suggest listening to "Peace and Love".
A couple other points is the synth bass is Garnet's instrument all the characters have an instrument and a style of playing connected to them and the songs have to be short because Steven Universe doesn't do full 24 minute episodes.
Is it really getting hit if you're not that affected? A punch that still makes you smile as you take it head on just seems pretty mild to be called a hit then XD
The lyrics are more literal than you think. Garnet is actually a fusion between 2 different people. Edit: stop saying “spoilers” when there are like 3 other in the comments i know of without even scrolling down that are saying the same thing.
@@deaddead698 you **can** go into something with knowing some things about it, I knew Garnet was a fusion going in to the show and it didn't ruin anything for me. If he doesn't want spoilers for this show maybe he'll say so next time
A little background since you haven't seen the show: Garnet (the singer) is a fusion of 2 gems, Ruby and Sapphire. Garnet is basically their love personified. She's singing about their love since Jasper (the one she's fighting) thinks fusion is just a fighting tactic and nothing more
The fact that he immediately picked up on Grover Washington Jr.'s "Just The Two Of Us" in here is incredible Considering Just The Two Of Us has been remixed into Stronger Than You many times, the chords match almost perfectly and fit together nearly seamlessly
You do it for him is a very good song, it is similar to to Drift away, it builds on layers and you will realize that it won't stop and it will get too intense. SERIOUSLY, ONE OF THE LINES IS BASICALLY: YOU WILL DIE FOR HIM
Honestly I think so too, it's basically showing us that Ruby and Sapphire have found a love so strong, that it transends them into its own being. Garnet is everything they are and more, she is literally how Ruby and Sapphire communicate to eachother without having the need to unfuse and talk, expicially when words aren't enough. Even if they are two seperate entities, they come together to become one. Garnet is literally the embodement of their love. Their anger and their sorrow.
You should definitely listen too: - "Lapis Lazuli Song" - "That Distant Shore" - or "Why So Blue" Lapis Lazuli is one if not the character with the biggest character growth and development. (Also, "What's the use of feelings" is also great, thank you Steven Universe)
Lapis had shit character development. She selfishly abused someone, ran away twice, destroyed someone else, and hid out on the mf moon. Peridot had the best character development. She went from dismissing life to valuing it so much because of the love she was receiving from it.
@@sadboihrs1229 1: it has that character because it was kept in a mirror for thousands of years 2: abused someone who literally wanted to kill the person who freed and helped her. Also, it was literally jasper that the gem has dirt on its head and in the end she also controlled it when they fought Alexandrite. 3: if he went to the moon leaving poor peridot but he did it out of fear of diamonds (which are literally the creators of gems and the strongest gems that exist; v) he also strengthened the peridot a bit by teaching him that he can live without it and lapis also learned to value things like peridot but it's a bit slower since she had a shitty life to be honest and sorry if there are errors I'm using a translator since my English is not that good xdxd .
no man it's literally the character is made up of 2 gem's in a stable lesbian space rock relationship who are leagues stronger togather than they are apart.. their names are ruby and sapphire and they are adorable. in face you saw them in the video for here comes a thought
This is such a great song, but what I find even cooler than the song itself is how it comes back throughout the series in different ways as Garnet's character evolves. It becomes a cornerstone of Garnet's personality, and of Ruby and Sapphire's relationship
The main characters in Steven Universe have their own instrument that represent them in the spundtrack and in their songs. Garnet's one is the base (The one that sings this one) Pearl's one is the piano (The one from "It's over, isn't it"), Amethyst's one are the drums and Steven's one is that "chiptune" "8-bits" sound. The channel Sideways talks about this. I will edit this comment with the link to the video. Maybe you could react to it! Edit: ruclips.net/video/bhkSrIg5SSY/видео.html
Garnet is a relationship. She's two gems that love each other that fuse together to make one. She is literally a conversation of love between two people.
YOU ARE BLOWING MY MIND!! Like HOW relevant "Just the two of us" is for this song, just, WOW! I'm sure the other commenters have mentioned it already, but the singer is literally a fusion of two people in love (which is forbidden on their home planet) and just, MMM! So perfect!
Yoooo. This is a huge turning point in the series, it is the first taste that the story might get serious, and it's like 40 episodes in. As for the song length, the episodes are only 11 minutes.
i love one part of the song that says "i'm a conversation" that just shows how even tho sapphire and ruby are together as garnet they still can talk to each other, and that is so sweet to me because garnet is most of the time together so that just means that they love each other so much to even be able to stay together for such long periods of time
Thank you so much for reacting to this. If you are up for more Steven Universe songs I would recommend Other friends (with the animation that goes with it) a very electroswing song or "Love like you" which I think is beautiful.
I loved True Kind of Live from the movie and I absolutely LOVE Zach’s line in it. I also really like Change Your Mind and I Can make a Change. I just feel like since he did the young Steven voice for so long Zach’s vocals are underrated.
Yeah I completely understand when you’re talking about the cords. Their is something about Steve Universe’s music that’s pure/wholesome and amazing. From the lyrics to singers. Keep it up king, I really hope you review a lot of Carole & Tuesday’s music as well. Both them and Steven Universe imo are good for the soul lol.
It's so interesting seeing you react to this. As an animator, I drool over the animation over the music. I LOVE THE MUSIC, but what I see first is the choices in their movements and scenes. This is what I love about humanity. I love that each of us has something we appreciate, and together, we can see the extraordinary in anything.
First off I adore animators so thank you for being a person that is building visual worlds. Your iconic for doing what you do! "I love that each of us has something we appreciate, and together, we can see the extraordinary in anything" that was beautiful fam 😭
@@DavidTheHooman I must be truly blessed to have you see my comment and like it!! Thank you so much! I'll keep being an architect of worlds, and I hope, one day, I'll have the pleasure to witness your view of it all! Thank you for being amazing!
Another cartoon that has incredible music is Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure (otherwise known as Tangled the Series). Ready as I’ll Ever Be is my favorite song from it. The show even has some broadway singing talent such as Eden Espinosa and Jeremy Jordan ☺️
Ah, the song so cool it inspired two fandoms! No lie, the Undertale fans loved it so much they rewrote the lyrics at least three times (one each from three character POVs), then edited them together a few different ways. Pretty good work actually, but still amusing to see them snatch this song up so damn fast
You should react to "The Distant shore" or "Drift away" "Other friends" And "Full disclosure" is the events that happended after "stronger than you" fight
1:03 Dude, I love that you can recognise by ear the cord structure from other songs. Loved when you did it with Other Friends and One jump ahead, and love it with this. I knew it sounded familliar, but would never have gotten that without your identifying it and replaying it. Love it!
The comment says stronger than you is the best, but the best is obviously Here comes a thought. I think it’s such a beautiful self help song and the context is wonderful. That’s all. Great video :)
Yesss. This is my fav song after It's Over Isn't it. It's a little more difficult lyrically for these songs than others because they're very situational and narrative of specific things that are going on in the show. You can still grasp the over all meaning, but when you watch the show, it hits so much harder. This song had quickly become almost a theme for the series, or rather the line "I am made of love." Estelle, who voices Garnet, made a sort of live music video at San Diego Comic Con 2017 and invited all the Steven Universe fans to join in on the sing along. It's such a powerful video and shows how much this show means to the fans.
Heyyy!!!! You are amazing and your content has helped me feel pretty okay due to bein sick lately. I do have a few requests like, Caleb Hyles, and Jonathan young
THIS IS WHY WE DO IT MAN! to make people feel something. And that means a lot an you have no idea! And I have Caleb Hyles been suggested we are just get to everything
the way he picks out notes and cords so fast is honestly godly to me, i played cello for 8 years and never got it, but he's just there jamming along as if he already knows the notes! insane!
It'll be super nice if you ever go through the show to see you re-experience all of these songs with full context and knowing just who's singing and why. Also just to get to hear them again cause like you said all of these songs are just so wonderfully done. Thanks for doing these!
I think one of the songs that always made me feel like crying has always been ‘Love Like You’, knowing that someone loves you more than you even know and how you are the Apple their eye. And you yearn to love the way they love you and to be what they see you as. It’s a very loving song but the lyrics are actually quite sad and it leaves me wondering am I good enough for my own partner.
1:06 “Just the two of us, we can make it if we try but each day that passes by is tearing pages from my mind. Just the two of us, in this this classroom in the sky, crimes of passion are just fine, when enacted on ai. Just the two of us, quite a drastic pick up line, leaving characters to die, just to guarantee you’re mine. She seems so sad and lonely, don’t think there’s any hope for me. This hell is members only, why did I say okie doki? Why did I say okie doki? Why did I say okie doki?”
I'm excited to see how you put together the context of the series with the songs you've already reviewed when you do watch Steven Universe! I'm excited for you!
This song was particularry special because this was the first episode(and the end of the first season)that moves on from the topic of making little kids laugh,and it actually becomes enjoyable for teenagers and maybe even adults too (the epieode actually puts the characters in life danger,which never happens in such way) It just becomes full of action,I loved SU as a kid and I still do a lot.
These songs hit even stronger when you know more about the show and can put further context to the words than just relating the songs to reality but also know all the interpersonal relationships between the characters and the metaphors that the show uses. Such as fusion being used as a meraphor for a relationship or something much more intimate.
1:05 - Fun fact, there actually exists a mashup between Stronger Than You, Just the Two of Us, and...Harder Better Faster Stronger for some reason. It's good.
Love seeing your vids to my favorites~! You should definitely check out 'True Kinda Love'; longer song, with some really nice, relaxing synth jazz. It's my fave of the series, and I'm about to go listen to it myself! XD
I love that you say "someone trying to rruin something beautiful like friendship, or even a relationship. It doesnt matter" key words it doesnt matter.
Garnet is a fusion of two gems Ruby and Sapphire who are married. Jasper (the orange one) hates that she’s a fusion for love and hates garnet. She split them up but they got back together that’s what she means by “she’s stronger then the two of them” or “I am a coversasion” or that she’s made of love
a nice thing about this song is that in Homeworld, the gem's planet, its really reprehensible a fusion/relationship between different kind of gems. ruby and sapphire fled their home, their own planet, because ruby would be murdered if they had stayed. their history is a metaphor about homophobia and the song is literally both of them facing this after hiding for thousands of years because of how much they love each other. its one of my favorites steven universe songs
You should listen to Love Like You, it's not the most musically complex song from the series, but there's just so much emotion and feeling in it - it's easily my favorite
I'm so glad that Steven Universe is finally being recognized for how genius it is. All the og's that watched it every new episode on cartoon network after school knowww
Yeah, Steven Universe songs tend to be short for the most part because they're all written to fit scenes within 11-minute episodes. I hope you'll react to Love Like You!
This song alone reinvigorated my interest in the series when first saw it. The emotional depth this show goes into is more developed than most adult programming. You aren’t alone, there is already a mashup of Stronger Than You with Just The Two Of Us. Personally more familiar with the three way Just The Two Of Us Are Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger Than You.
It would be amazing if you reacted to “peace and love on the planet earth” (also from Steven Universe lol) It is extremily calm song and still has one of the most beautiful messages of the show
I would love to see a reaction to "Love Like You" which is the end credits song performed by the show runner and creator Rebecca Sugar. It's absolutely gut wrenching
Also there are many great songs from Steven universe, "Drift Away" is great, "Other Friends" is a bop and my personal favorite "Full Disclosure" just to name a few.
Nice video! Would love to see you reacting to Waiting in the wings, crossing the line or nothing left to lose from the tangled series. They're all amazing songs and waiting in the wings won a daytime ammy award
Another great song is Familiar and it´s sung by Steven´s VA Zach, his voice really really improved over time and it just sounds so great, especially the part at the very end
LOVE LIKE YOU (end credits) Steven universe it was amazing chords and harmonies from the person who voices garnet I’m a huge fan and keep up the amazing job
I am really enjoying your reaction to Steven Universe songs. They are definitely in my top 10 things to listen to. I would really recommend "Drift Away" sang by my favorite character Spinel. It has got to be one of the saddest moments in the whole show for me.
HOLY SHIT IT'S THE CHORDS FROM "JUST THE TWO OF US" ??????????????? I think this might be the reaction channel with the most added value I've ever watched. Gonna keep watching. Also, had no idea the songwriters on SU were THIS clever with the references, someone needs to go Howard Ho on this show. If you haven't already (she says, commenting a year and a half after the video was posted).
I think you'd enjoy "Peace and Love on the Plant Earth", they incorporate solfege and kind of analyze the music themselves too, its really fun :) Love your content and you! Keep up the good work!
Basic context (no names for simplicity) the green one and the orange one are invaders from an enemy army. They came, they spit the red one (a fusion of two beings) with that yellow wand thing, then kiddnapped everyone else you see in the video (Who are rebels against the enemy army). The break out bc the kid is immune to the yellow wand thing and this fight is round 2 between the refused red and the orange. The red bates the other into a fight "Come at me without any of your fancy tools" to 1 buy her friends time to take over the ship enough to get them back to earth, and 2 she has a decent chance of beating orange when allowed to fight. Orange IS stronger, but she is fighting alone, and relies only on her brut strength and viciousness to win. Red is strong, is fighting for herself to exist as a fusion, her friends, and adopted planet Earth. She is strong, AND smart. Stays cool in battle, and thus is "Stronger Than You." This song has rightfully become an anthem for the LGBTQ community. (Both parts of her fusion look feminine, as all the gems do!)
I don't know if you alresfy knew this but, the creator made a point to assign instruments to each of the characters that kind of represent them and are used for their themes. When to of the gems fuse into a new gem (fusion means two gems come together into a new person with their combined personalities and skills), the fusions theme combines the two gems instruments as well. So I just thought that was pretty cool.
2:55 actually the message is very literal, garnet is a fusion of two different gems who are in love, and Jasper(the gem she is fighting) is very against the fusing of different gems
Wow I never got that chord progression was just the two of us. You are so right and it totally fits this song because garnet is a being composed of two people in one.
Him: I think it's a metaphor.....
Me: no shes literally two people
ahhhhhhh
She is made up of Sapphire and Ruby, Sapphire is calm and stable, can tell the future, ruby is a soldier, strong and sorts.
They were in a situation where they committed a crime, fuse, which was unacceptable at the time, several thousand years ago. They ran away and fell in love and fused and they have become so stable with their powers and emotionally.
Because they are so stable, its very hard for a non Steven universe person to realize that they are actually 2 people.

Those songs are so good!
Yeah I completely understand when you’re talking about the cords. Their is something about Steve Universe’s music that’s pure/wholesome and amazing. From the lyrics to singers. Keep it up king, I really hope you review a lot of Carole & Tuesday’s music as well. Both them and Steven Universe imo are good for the soul lol.
It's so interesting seeing you react to this. As an animator, I drool over the animation over the music. I LOVE THE MUSIC, but what I see first is the choices in their movements and scenes. This is what I love about humanity. I love that each of us has something we appreciate, and together, we can see the extraordinary in anything.
First off I adore animators so thank you for being a person that is building visual worlds. Your iconic for doing what you do!
"I love that each of us has something we appreciate, and together, we can see the extraordinary in anything"
that was beautiful fam 😭
@@DavidTheHooman I must be truly blessed to have you see my comment and like it!! Thank you so much! I'll keep being an architect of worlds, and I hope, one day, I'll have the pleasure to witness your view of it all!
Thank you for being amazing!
Btw the reason this has very vaguely the feel of “American Boy” by Estelle is because Estelle is singing this song
Another cartoon that has incredible music is Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure (otherwise known as Tangled the Series). Ready as I’ll Ever Be is my favorite song from it. The show even has some broadway singing talent such as Eden Espinosa and Jeremy Jordan ☺️
Omg yesssss
We love Jeremy Jordan ❤️
Ah, the song so cool it inspired two fandoms! No lie, the Undertale fans loved it so much they rewrote the lyrics at least three times (one each from three character POVs), then edited them together a few different ways. Pretty good work actually, but still amusing to see them snatch this song up so damn fast
You should react to
"The Distant shore" or
"Drift away"
"Other friends"
And "Full disclosure" is the events that happended after "stronger than you" fight
1:03 Dude, I love that you can recognise by ear the cord structure from other songs. Loved when you did it with Other Friends and One jump ahead, and love it with this. I knew it sounded familliar, but would never have gotten that without your identifying it and replaying it. Love it!
The fact that this song become parody song for Undertale characters that has now like thousand version of this song is really funny xd
The comment says stronger than you is the best, but the best is obviously Here comes a thought.
I think it’s such a beautiful self help song and the context is wonderful. That’s all. Great video :)
Awesome reaction video dude and yus it's a amazing song.
Yesss. This is my fav song after It's Over Isn't it. It's a little more difficult lyrically for these songs than others because they're very situational and narrative of specific things that are going on in the show. You can still grasp the over all meaning, but when you watch the show, it hits so much harder. This song had quickly become almost a theme for the series, or rather the line "I am made of love." Estelle, who voices Garnet, made a sort of live music video at San Diego Comic Con 2017 and invited all the Steven Universe fans to join in on the sing along. It's such a powerful video and shows how much this show means to the fans.
99.9% of the planet could not have pulled off "I wont let you hurt my planet. I wont let you hurt my friends" without it being cheesy. She SOLD it.
Heyyy!!!! You are amazing and your content has helped me feel pretty okay due to bein sick lately. I do have a few requests like, Caleb Hyles, and Jonathan young
THIS IS WHY WE DO IT MAN! to make people feel something. And that means a lot an you have no idea! And I have Caleb Hyles been suggested we are just get to everything
Thanks so much for listening to this song, and listening to my comment! Thank you so much for listening to me and keep up the good work!
No Worries Adam its not about me its about us man!
the way he picks out notes and cords so fast is honestly godly to me, i played cello for 8 years and never got it, but he's just there jamming along as if he already knows the notes! insane!
It'll be super nice if you ever go through the show to see you re-experience all of these songs with full context and knowing just who's singing and why. Also just to get to hear them again cause like you said all of these songs are just so wonderfully done. Thanks for doing these!
This is super fun!
I think one of the songs that always made me feel like crying has always been ‘Love Like You’, knowing that someone loves you more than you even know and how you are the Apple their eye.
And you yearn to love the way they love you and to be what they see you as.
It’s a very loving song but the lyrics are actually quite sad and it leaves me wondering am I good enough for my own partner.
Love watching people react to Steven Universe, especially from a musical standpoint! You're awesome, thanks for making these videos
thank you! and thank you!
1:06
“Just the two of us, we can make it if we try but each day that passes by is tearing pages from my mind. Just the two of us, in this this classroom in the sky, crimes of passion are just fine, when enacted on ai. Just the two of us, quite a drastic pick up line, leaving characters to die, just to guarantee you’re mine. She seems so sad and lonely, don’t think there’s any hope for me. This hell is members only, why did I say okie doki? Why did I say okie doki? Why did I say okie doki?”
I'm excited to see how you put together the context of the series with the songs you've already reviewed when you do watch Steven Universe! I'm excited for you!
I love how genuinely happy you are when ever you are watching these videos it is super wholesome and heartwarming.
Thank hooman! I mean its just refreshing I listen to alot of popular music and its missing a soul for lack of a better term!
This song was particularry special because this was the first episode(and the end of the first season)that moves on from the topic of making little kids laugh,and it actually becomes enjoyable for teenagers and maybe even adults too (the epieode actually puts the characters in life danger,which never happens in such way) It just becomes full of action,I loved SU as a kid and I still do a lot.
nice! this is actually one of my favorite songs in the series, keep up the awesome work man! i love your content :D
Thank you Hooman!
These songs hit even stronger when you know more about the show and can put further context to the words than just relating the songs to reality but also know all the interpersonal relationships between the characters and the metaphors that the show uses. Such as fusion being used as a meraphor for a relationship or something much more intimate.
Yes
1:05 - Fun fact, there actually exists a mashup between Stronger Than You, Just the Two of Us, and...Harder Better Faster Stronger for some reason. It's good.
Garnet is the literal physical representation of the love between two female gems
Gems have no gender-
Abdul Rehman; they don’t, but they present as female and use she/her pronouns
Love seeing your vids to my favorites~! You should definitely check out 'True Kinda Love'; longer song, with some really nice, relaxing synth jazz. It's my fave of the series, and I'm about to go listen to it myself! XD
I love that you say "someone trying to rruin something beautiful like friendship, or even a relationship. It doesnt matter" key words it doesnt matter.
Theses sound tracks are the best, I’m so glad your reacting to them
Garnet is a fusion of two gems Ruby and Sapphire who are married. Jasper (the orange one) hates that she’s a fusion for love and hates garnet. She split them up but they got back together that’s what she means by “she’s stronger then the two of them” or “I am a coversasion” or that she’s made of love
a nice thing about this song is that in Homeworld, the gem's planet, its really reprehensible a fusion/relationship between different kind of gems. ruby and sapphire fled their home, their own planet, because ruby would be murdered if they had stayed. their history is a metaphor about homophobia and the song is literally both of them facing this
after hiding for thousands of years because of how much they love each other. its one of my favorites steven universe songs
i love seeing the way his ratings of the songs go up. especially this one, the way his opinion shot up SO fast
thank u :)
You should listen to Love Like You, it's not the most musically complex song from the series, but there's just so much emotion and feeling in it - it's easily my favorite
I'm so glad that Steven Universe is finally being recognized for how genius it is. All the og's that watched it every new episode on cartoon network after school knowww
You should def do "That distant shore" from Steven universe. Its great and sung by my fave character
"Full Disclosure" Is one of the underrated songs of the show its also one of my favorites.
YESS it's so good --and sets up some stuff pretty good too--
Yeah, Steven Universe songs tend to be short for the most part because they're all written to fit scenes within 11-minute episodes.
I hope you'll react to Love Like You!
We Will Get to All alot of them no worries!
Love like you has got to be my favourite out of the steven universe series.
This song alone reinvigorated my interest in the series when first saw it. The emotional depth this show goes into is more developed than most adult programming.
You aren’t alone, there is already a mashup of Stronger Than You with Just The Two Of Us. Personally more familiar with the three way Just The Two Of Us Are Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger Than You.
I just listened to it because someone else commented that and it was amazing!
It would be amazing if you reacted to “peace and love on the planet earth” (also from Steven Universe lol)
It is extremily calm song and still has one of the most beautiful messages of the show
I would love to see a reaction to "Love Like You" which is the end credits song performed by the show runner and creator Rebecca Sugar. It's absolutely gut wrenching
My favourite songs in the series are "no Matter What" and "that distant shore". You should watch these beautiful songs
Also there are many great songs from Steven universe, "Drift Away" is great, "Other Friends" is a bop and my personal favorite "Full Disclosure" just to name a few.
"Here Comes A Thought" is good
I love most of SU's soundtrack but this has to be my favourite. It literally just keeps giving me goosebumps every time I listen.
You GOTTA listen to "Full Disclosure" its a short one but its so good and first so perfectly in scene that its in
Don't worry John you know we will get to all of it in due time!
Nice video! Would love to see you reacting to Waiting in the wings, crossing the line or nothing left to lose from the tangled series. They're all amazing songs and waiting in the wings won a daytime ammy award
"Love Like You" is a beautiful melody, I think you would enjoy it.
Another great song is Familiar and it´s sung by Steven´s VA Zach, his voice really really improved over time and it just sounds so great, especially the part at the very end
YOU HAVE TO DO “DO IT FOR HER” from Steven Universe too
LOVE LIKE YOU (end credits)
Steven universe it was amazing chords and harmonies from the person who voices garnet
I’m a huge fan and keep up the amazing job
That distant shore or Drift Away are amazing too. Youre amazing
"That distant Shore" from Steven Universe is such a beautiful song about trying to heal after trauma.
I'd love it if you could react to it as well
I am really enjoying your reaction to Steven Universe songs. They are definitely in my top 10 things to listen to. I would really recommend "Drift Away" sang by my favorite character Spinel. It has got to be one of the saddest moments in the whole show for me.
Been waiting for this one. Loved the video!
Why have I just now found your videos I love your Steven universe reaction videos there so adorable 😂😂
You should listen to That Distant Shore and Shining Through from Steven Universe Ik u will luv them
*[The songs of this show are simply phenomenal]*
HOLY SHIT IT'S THE CHORDS FROM "JUST THE TWO OF US" ???????????????
I think this might be the reaction channel with the most added value I've ever watched. Gonna keep watching. Also, had no idea the songwriters on SU were THIS clever with the references, someone needs to go Howard Ho on this show. If you haven't already (she says, commenting a year and a half after the video was posted).
This is how I got addicted to this show due to this catchy and beautiful song
I think you'd enjoy "Peace and Love on the Plant Earth", they incorporate solfege and kind of analyze the music themselves too, its really fun :) Love your content and you! Keep up the good work!
We’re stronger than this moment, we’re stronger than whatever this is,
We’re stronger than *You*
Basic context (no names for simplicity) the green one and the orange one are invaders from an enemy army. They came, they spit the red one (a fusion of two beings) with that yellow wand thing, then kiddnapped everyone else you see in the video (Who are rebels against the enemy army). The break out bc the kid is immune to the yellow wand thing and this fight is round 2 between the refused red and the orange. The red bates the other into a fight "Come at me without any of your fancy tools" to 1 buy her friends time to take over the ship enough to get them back to earth, and 2 she has a decent chance of beating orange when allowed to fight. Orange IS stronger, but she is fighting alone, and relies only on her brut strength and viciousness to win. Red is strong, is fighting for herself to exist as a fusion, her friends, and adopted planet Earth. She is strong, AND smart. Stays cool in battle, and thus is "Stronger Than You." This song has rightfully become an anthem for the LGBTQ community. (Both parts of her fusion look feminine, as all the gems do!)
Oo jeez I'm already caught up on the SU reactions
Aaaa
"The chords are telling me something and I'm freaking out" love that
lol it was fun!
I don't know if you alresfy knew this but, the creator made a point to assign instruments to each of the characters that kind of represent them and are used for their themes. When to of the gems fuse into a new gem (fusion means two gems come together into a new person with their combined personalities and skills), the fusions theme combines the two gems instruments as well. So I just thought that was pretty cool.
2:55 actually the message is very literal, garnet is a fusion of two different gems who are in love, and Jasper(the gem she is fighting) is very against the fusing of different gems
You should definitely hear "What's the use of feeling blue" it's for sure once if the best songs
Granted he has no knowledge of Steven Universe, i just wanted him to immediately afterward react to the fusion of Malachite
You should also listen to "Familiar" from Steven Universe
I don't even like the show that much but man, it's so fun hearing these songs. Good video as usual!
Ayeeee stronger than you! Other friends is a great one from Steven Universe as well
Wow I never got that chord progression was just the two of us. You are so right and it totally fits this song because garnet is a being composed of two people in one.
Its demonstrably clever thats super freak fracking cool!
Please do “both of you” from Steven universe, it’s short but so powerful! I love these vids!! Keep it up
I will keep going guys this community has been wonderful!
