I super appreciate your attention to detail and also nerding out on the modulations, borrowed chords, etc. It makes all the work that went into it worth it all over again when I get to witness reactions like these. THANKS! 🤘
Hi Casey! Thank you for creating this masterpiece for us to enjoy! You rock!
The rock is here
The man himself is here
The Orpheus of himself is here...
God came down and said:
The reason the song from 12:45 and out feels so raw compared to the rest of the song is because when writing this song, they told Casey the song only had to be about 7 minutes or so (I don't remember exactly what they said specifically, all I remember was that he was allowed to end the song at that point), but because he assumed this would be his last time making music for DMC, he decided to go all out for the ending, adding an extra 2 or so minutes of pure, raw emotion as a love letter to the DMC franchise
That's just awesome, shows they had an absolute blast working on it
That's right. The music doesnt play for long ingame but with all the transitions and dynamism, they need to be quite long. So they would need about 7 minutes. Then Casey took it to the next level!
They responded by having it be the final boss music in the Vergil DLC.
@@tipsy634 apart of me wishes they made it the theme when you fight him as Dante, but oh well, still cool
@@evodolka It does play when you're playing as Vergil against Dante :>
@@saceurai6629 think so, I just wish it was the other way round too

No amount of demonic energy could prepare me for that fire violin solo.
you gave me spoiler :((((((((((((((((

Fun fact, Casey Edwards was told he couldn't use guitars at all, only for the chorus toward the end. So he had to improvise and use synthesizers to make the heavy parts and everything before. Another fun fact too, Casey Edwards studied under Mick Gordon, the composer of the DOOM Soundtrack for the modern games. Which is why it has a similar feel. Oh and Bury the Light shares chord progression with Devil Trigger which is top notch.
well he did make devil trigger so that isn't surprising he knows it, didn't know he trained under Mick, that makes so much sense.
This isnt true. There are plenty of guitars before the final chorus, especially in the bass and faint countermelody.
go watch casey's interview with alex moukala he say that he was Explicitly told no guitar out side that part, so no he isn't using guitars but a bass instead.@@winn3975
@@winn3975wrong. Casey was specifically told by Capcom to not include any guitar instruments till the end of the song. Which is where the solo starts, at the end.
As Mick Gordon said in his GDC talk, "Change the process, change the outcome."
0:25 bro already felt the motivation 😂
18:35 bro, dont tease us like that, we NEED to hear you do a violin cover of this amazing song XD
WORDD
WE WANT TO BE SERVED BY THIS GUY, HE IS COOKING!
@String Payer Gamer PLEASE!
T H I S
PLS!
Casey didn't have to go this hard, he was only required to make a song for Vergil a couple of minutes and fairly basic.
Casey was all like: "Hold my beer."
He had to go hard, because he says in one of his video that capcom has a track record of giving chances to new music talents in each newer games.
He thought this might be his last project with them, and thus, he poored his heart and soul on this one.
also, didn't Capcom give him incredibly specific instructions for bury the light?
He was motivated.
@@DonquaviusJDHigglebottomnope
@@greenhydra10 Casey: now I'm feeling motivated.
I was listening to this in the background and didn't think twice when I heard the violin. I assumed it was part of the original track. 🤯 I hope some composers see these reactions and get the idea to invite you to add to their productions!
Hahaha! Thank you RG, I would never say no to such opportunities.
Right? Sounds like an unheard or cut "part 2" to the theme
some of them knew about the violin was Alex Moukala Music
I've never played DMC, but I heard this song in a meme and fell in love with it from the first seconds. It's a rare masterpiece. Even without knowing the character, you feel his personality through the music. This is art.
You missing out.
Currently going through my first playthrough@@damarvelousone
It's even better when you're playing. DMC 5 has a system where the music changes dynamically with your style rating (goes up when you do cool stuff, goes down when you make mistakes), at the highest rating it switches to the chorus.
@@TheChaosCorvid, wow that's interesting 🤔
Dude... I started playing dmc beacuse of the memes
The wild thing is that up to 12:45, it's all synth. The Devs told the music writers not to have guitars. That's why the last part is so raw, he added electric guitar as a personal omage. Vergil is one of his favourite characters ever and you can feel it. The passion slaps so god damn hard.
I dunno why people misconstrue this point so often. there's still electric guitar in the chorus, and there's acoustic guitars during the verses. the restriction was no electric guitars outside of the chorus, and they later made the exception for the ending section.
@@andylawlzz Wonder why publishers feel the need to put such pointless restrictions on these creative geniuses
Okay, that was one of the the best Bury The Light reactions I've ever seen. I recommend you to listen other Devil May Cry music like "Devils Never Cry","Taste The Blood", "Shall Never Surrender" and other.
divine hate too
@@KuromiScarlet5030 it's probably a Devil's Never Cry
And also "Subhuman", " Devil's trigger" and "Crimson clouds"!
Ah, Vergil. The final boss that when playable doesn't become some weaker character.
I have never seen anyone talk more about the singer of the song or the song's composer. They're both respected very equally and I love that. Victor Borba and Casey Edwards are absolute kings in the videogame music community.
Borba*
@@V-XENO i got genuinely no idea how i spelt it that way. that misspelling wasn’t in my memory at all, thanks man.
God, the violin 18:33 onwards was incredible! Great playing, as always.
I’ve seen a few comments suggesting the Metal Gear: Rising OST, and i couldn’t agree more, it’s filled with intense bangers. “A Stanger I Remain”, “Stains Of Time”, “Red Sun”, “The Only Thing I Know For Real”, “Collective Consciousness”, “It Has To Be This Way” and “The Hot Wind Blowing” are my for sure top picks.
I second this. All of these songs, hell, the entire OST from MGRR is incredible
Wanted to write about Rising, but here it is already.
*Rules of nature*: guess I’ll go fuxk myself then 😃
I agree 100%. Please do this String Player Gamer!
RULES OF NATURE
Fun fact: the BURY THE LIGHT DEEP WITHIN SEGMENT is reminisant of the chorus of Devil Trigger to refrence the fact Vergil is Nero's father. Not sure if you noticed
That introduction was INSANE! I was very impressed by the sudden switches from grungy and crunchy to sweet and gentle without sounding out of place. The first big vocal entrance made my jaw freaking DROP! As someone who loves melodies, I appreciate a simple percussion that can drive the rhythm/enhance the music without sounding boring. The meter changes, jumps, and key changes are all EPIC and really make this song so unique!
Okay 12:44 absolutely blew my mind!!
I hadn't thought of how space in a melody can make it more musical. Then again, music tells a story and who makes stories? Humans. And what do humans do? Breathe. So it checks out!
This is definitely the type of music I LOVE to listen to when I need high energy that's also "focused".
INSANITY indeed! Glad you enjoyed the video Sploon!
This is the theme… OF A PLAYABLE CHARACTER
@@TheGremlinGhostno Bro its the theme of the final boss of the game
@@DevilTheDani it literally isn’t. It only plays when you are playing as Vergil. Not when you are fighting him
Average man experiences motivation for the first time
This song is so good bro. especially at the part where the singer says "BURY THE LIGHT DEEP WITHIN" Ohh baby! that's gonna make me go to heaven
This honestly is my favorite song of all time. Full stop, no bs. The mood, the story it tells, the energy it provides at diffrent parts makes you FEEL like you're listening to boss music, and this is just what Virgil has regularly in DMC5 and DMC5:SE. The gameplay alone hit the vibe of "you're playing as a boss character, now enjoy" this soundtrack makes you go, "I am vergil here, so i gotta beat em with style but efficiency" and no mater who i listen to with it, wether it be a reactor, a cover or someone cutting into the details of the song and giving details of what it does, how it does it and how they are applied, i always learn something with this amazing ass song. Definitely enjoyed this reaction and discussion on Bury the Light SPG. Glad you got to listen to this.
The drummer for this song is Anup Sastry, who is an insanely talented dude. He's got such a deep pocket, but is also very tasteful with his fills. One thing to also mention is that this was mixed by Adam "Nolly" Getgood, who is one of the greatest rock and metal sound engineers of our time. He's incredibly smart and meticulous with his craft. He's done a bunch of other work, but most notably is one of the minds behind Periphery's sound, as well as they're former bass player. There was a lot of talent that went onto this track, including Victor and Casey. Overall this is one of the greatest video game compositions of all time.
As someone who knows nothing technical about music its so great to hear someone who is knowledgeable about those things explain exactly why we intuitively know this song is such a masterpiece
Yes, it has a very Evanescence meets Breaking Benjamin feel to it while pushing it through a modern Doom filter. Absolutely amazing song!
I dream we can see Victor borba singing bury the light live ❤
@@leserbeacerbe6910now that would be incredible
that was a good way to describe it
15:17 I've never heard anyone explain musicality like this before and it suddenly clicked. But your performance near the end really drove the point home, it was just that good; made my heart tingle.
18:33 Dayum! We definitely NEED complete version of this cover, I've watch this part over 10 times already.
When most people think of Casey Edwards, they think of either this or Devil Trigger, 2 pieces that really show off his masterwork of songwriting. Though i will say, if you love his stuff, theres 1 track many will never have heard, as its from another Capcom game that so many neglected to give a real chance; Exoprimal. He composed the credits theme to that, called Exohuman
He also did another song with Victor Borba after this called Vacant Surrender. He released it as a standalone single.
@@phootaphan9166 it is like lite bury the light. Amazing song but nowhere close to Bury rhe light
Wait he did shit for exoprimal? That’s crazy that game was actually pretty good
3:30 I love how everyone absolutely loves the tone change here
Another yet great reaction and a very insane violin cover man, keep it up. THAT VIOLIN SOLO WAS FIRE THOUGH 🎻 🤘🔥
Appreciate it!!
The thing about dmc 5 soundtrack is that it progresses based on your style rank. For example this song plays build up (that is not in the version you are listening to) on A rank and then chorus variation on S rank and it's so good
But Vergil can skip from no style to SSS in a span of 3 seconds, so you had to slow yourself down just to listen to it properly~
I personally put a dmc Spotify playlist when I play bloody Palace, listening to the chorus every wave gets really annoying,
so wait if you get sss as vergil does it play "i am the storm that is approaching", "bury the light deep within", or the guitar solo
@@dudewithnolifepoop there is a common misconception about this actually. SS and SSS ranks do not influence the music in any way.
It plays either i am the storm or forsakened i am awakened parts when you reach S. If you keep S rank up for long it will eventually get to the bury the light deep within part. After that part it loops back to i am the storm or forsakened if you still have S rank
@@taktika4764 ohhh i see
In a lot of games, a song like this would be a bit much. In the DMC series though? Fits right in. Adding a violin to it just makes it better!
Also helps that it belongs to the most over the top "cool" character in the series. On paper it seems edgy as hell, but it just works.
That breathing and holding during classic guitar solos is totally on point. I can actually see it in other solos that I really love in metal ! That explains why I love certain metal solos and some not so much!
I love this guys commentary; he's so easy to follow, and he keeps his commentary quick. I was focused the entire video.
If you haven’t heard them already, I’d highly recommend listening to some of the songs used in “Just Shapes and Beats”, or even watching the gameplay with it since there’s no other audio besides the end and checkpoints. (S rank gameplay recommended, boss tracks only). Really good techno music, and other stuff mixed in too! Might be a good single video or mini series like you did with Pizza Tower and TF2.
YES! The songs weren't made for the game, but they are all incredibly good in my opinion.
@@blockingdead6442 MOST of it wasn't made for the game anyways. aside from the Shovel Knight remixes, Interlaced from the Lost Chapter was made for the game, along with the in-game instrumental version of the extra level song Creatures Ov Deception.
That POWERful track always gives me MOTIVATION. Love your POWERful reaction too x)
Also i can recommend you some ost's from "Supergiant games"... games:D
Hades ("In the Blood", "God of the Dead", "Good Riddance", "Out of Tartarus")
Transistor ("We All Become", "Old Friend", "She Shines")
Pyre ("In The Flame")
Bastion ("Setting Sail, Coming Home", "In Case Of Trouble", "Bynn The Breaker")
Add lament of Orpheus to that list for Hades.
With Bury the light you can imagine the entrance of the main antagonist (in this case Vergil) at the start then as the "fight" or music progresses it gets more and more intense with breaks in between, until you reach the massive climax near the end.
You could also see the solo section almost in a similar albeit smaller scale to this to where he shows up, massive climatic moment, then they are gone as quickly as they arrive.
I only just found your channel but your passion for music and actually enjoying what your listening too while dissecting it is very admirable!
If you want another DMC music recommendation I'd say Devil trigger is a definite good option. As for another Game altogether?
The "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance" Game has some amazing hits included in it's line up! Keep up the positive vibe's and work my dude! :)
I feel like the almost angelic vocals are an analogy for the light that vergil (human part) has within himself gets buried due to his cold callus exterior, aka the distorted guitar, loud strings and drums. It's a perfect song for a perfectionist like him
NOTHING could've prepared me for what this mad lad did at 18:32
such an awesome addition to bury the light
one thing im in love with rn is watching people react to this masterpiece of a song
Your analysis and analogies were fantastic as well!
and omg that electric violin playing in the end, WOW!!
Dude that Violin Solo at the end was fucking FANTASTIC. I got crazy goosbumps and holy shit dude that complimented the music so well. You are a real artist man, seriously.
Thank you so much!
I loved your explanation of how a guitar solo sounds good and authentic, by letting the music breathe. Never thought of it before, but it totally makes sense. The best solo's are the once where there is a moment to, as a listener, take a breath.
I am glad to stumble upon this channel tbh, this is amazing! love your reactions and the violin play along!
If you are reading this, i hope that you will consider reacting to Project Wingman Soundtracks because they are phenomenal.
Especially one in particular favorite of mine, titled "Kings" which is the final boss battle song played during this duel between ace above a ruined city.
always an awesome time when one of your new vids pops up in my feed, keep up the great work!
My favorite part to watching reactions to this song is that modulation in the chorus, and yours totally didn't disappoint! It's such a risky move but it's so effective in this song!
I think this is everyone's new favorite DMC song.
Took them 14 years to top Devils Never Cry
@@wanpokkeit was Devil Trigger at first, made by the same composer of Bury the Light
This song's like an earworm for me
Hear it once, or think about it, and I'm gonna be playing it a bunch for a while XD
Really happy to see your reaction to this
Now that you've enjoyed this song, I recommend listening to Devil Trigger, which serves as Nero's theme in DMCV.
EDIT: And there we go!
I already filmed my reactions for all 4 main character themes. Now you all just need to patiently wait when I feel like uploading the rest.
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficialI imagine you heard the DVMC5 themes, but you should hear Dante's in DMVC3 too (Devils never cry)
@@soccez one at a time.
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficialso looking forward to that, subhuman is often overlooked but it's just as good as devil trigger imo, although bury the light is my favourite
Honestly... how it was all written is one thing. To match all these sounds and stuff together must have been a hard time in itself. But I think the vocals are the reason I think I continue to come back to this song. Just how the vocalist sounds is just... perfect with all the sounds and the instrumentals I'm this.
The breathing/space part that makes solo instrumental part like singing explanation has earned u my sub👏👏👏
Can't put words together any better than that
From a musician to another..you spoke of what is in my mind , heart and ear!! and in details too! Thank You for this amazing reaction and cool pointing SPG. Thanks also to Casey Edwards..who made me witness this masterpiece in my life time.
Yooo the violin you add at the end was sick from start to finish, truly a D-SSS combo instantly
Devil May Cry is one of my absolute favourite game series and this song is suuuch a love letter!
Wow, this is the best reaction at the Bury The Light, explained and very cool man, appreciate and respect you, that final part at the violino it's amazing!
would love a whole violin part for this, if your up to it that is! AMAZING VIDEO!!!!!!
It's one of my favorite songs and seeing how you analyze the same parts that I like blows my mind
Your comments about musical performances needing that space to breathe and reflect the soul of it's player, much like a vocalist, is such an inspired concept, I love it! Definitely a brilliant way for music to sound less mechanical and overly produced
Bury the Light is probably one of the most memorable songs of the current era of video games its just amazing...
I would love to recommend you reacting to "Love the subhuman self" Millia's Theme from Guilty Gear Strive
I have a feeling this video is going to be a doozy! It would be cool to have a reaction on the opening theme of Super Smash Bros. Brawl :D
And happy video to all!
Thank you Richtheur!
I was just listening to a mashup between DoG OST and Jetstream Sam's when I received the notification, such an amazing one
HELL YEAH. I was head bopping along with you and your enthusiasm was infectious. Thank you for making my day groovy :D
Rock on!
Sir you just earned a sub with that sick violin in addition,I loved it such a nice play it was,thank you for clearing the rust in my ears
Thank you!
"now im a little motivated" - vergil
I just found this channel and it's 'criminal' that there's not more to that violin accompaniment. I would adore a full video of it.
My favorite part of the song is definitely the solo just after the verse, where it sounds like it’s spiraling upward, absolutely blew me away the first time and still gives me goosebumps. Casey Edwards or whoever wrote this song and performed it is a god among peasants.
I was not expecting you to react to Bury the Light at all. It's a very welcomed surprise though.
I would absolutely adore being able to have a entire version of this song with your amazing violin skills to extenuate the beauty of this song
What a GREAT analytics dude!!! Very thorough. And the violin at the end? Such a grandiose addition to the video! Just found your channel and I'm HOOKED instantly! Subbed and liked
Welcome aboard!
the true meaning of "motivation" in a music
I haven't listened to this song in a long while and it STILL raises the hairs on my arms! So good! 😎👍
Your performance at the end couldn't have been any more perfect. It fits right in and somehow elevates it further. Didn't think it was possible to make this song any better but you did.
I love your videos reacting to popular game music, they're all so enjoyable and analytical. That being said PLEASE react to Devils Never Cry
GOD DAMN, that addition to the song at 18:33 was PERFECT, is there a way to listen to the whole one?!
YEAAH I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE
Omg that violin take had me in tears. Absolutely beautiful.
You should really do a reaction video on the Frostpunk soundtrack. The Game is about surviving in an apocolyptic winter set in the 1800s as the last city on earth. I recommend listening to 'the city must survive' from the main game, to 'the last autumn' and the 'on the edge' theme from the two dlc's. It's entirely orchestral, and my personal favourite soundtrack of all time. I always love watching these reaction videos, because I love learning about what makes the music I listen to so captivating.
I'd love to see a reaction to some of the tracks from Final Fantasy 14.
Footfalls, Shadowbringers, Ultima Thule, Metal: Brute Justice Mode, What Angel Wakes Me are all great candidates for reactions.
THAT VIOLIN SOUNDS LIKE A wITCHER SONG
Yo, your violin playing along at the end was sick! :)
Damn i really love the analysis for this song. U opened up a new perspective for me and i now love this song even more! Would love to see you react to lightbringer by pentakill (acoustic/original, even though i like the acoustic more)
You KNOW a guitarist is at the peak of talent when they give you such a clean, precise solo and you can feel their joy at playing and they just take their time to just put pure melody into our ears. It's my favourite part of the song and it's what inspired me to learn to play. It's not flashy, it's not hardcore or over the top, it's just.... amazing talented play that KNOW he enjoyed performing.
Ah, very good, another talented person has been MOTIVATED. To the point where he has played violin solo. Now this... THIS IS POWER.
cool play at the end, that was awesome
As a huge sucker for symphonic metal, or just any metal + classical arrangement, hearing your usual violin accomplement was stunning.
To be rather crass, my ears were ejaculating.
Omg I just discovered you today and let me just say I apologize for just now discovering you because you are amazing man the way you break it down into depth for new listeners is just mesmerizing. You sir just earned a subscriber and I can’t wait to listen to new taste of music from you keep it up. Also you killed it at the end👌🏿
P.s. I just started playing DMC today like I watched all the gameplay but never got the chance to play it but now I do same as metal gear solid and let me just say it just brings me a trip down memory lane the feeling is astonishing
Thank you! Welcome aboard!
You need to make a full version including your violin skills because dayum that section was insane
I always love listening to people who know what they're talking about when it comes to music, even though I have absolutely no idea what any of it means :D
awesome performance at the end omg , this is how must be a reaction video . Best to you sir !
Thank you so much 😀
The first time I listened to this song I was alone in my room with my headset minding my own business when this came on. Holy fuck I had goosebumps from start to finish. At the end it felt so emotional my eyes filled with water I was like wtf is going on lol.
This is one of my favorite video game songs out there. Plus I'm a very big fan of Vergil
Also Hakita dropped two new songs
Oh my god you're violin playing at the end took the song from 11/10 to 13/10!
15:00
Your explanation here is top-shelf. Too many times I've heard a cover of a song where the lead guitar decided to deviate, do a solo, and have it become a mishmash in an attempt to show off, but only ends up doing the rest of the track injustice.
I would LOVE to hear you react to DOOM 2016/Eternal songs (my personal favorite is Damnation)
BERRY DELIGHT!
Listened the song more than 100 times and honestly it's a masterpiece.
Darkness, hope, rage, etc.
The atmosphere resonates with my soul.
I really like your electric guitar brooch! So cute.
you earned a sub with that violin solo at the end holy hell
God, I loved that bit at the end
Loved this reaction! I love seeing people react to Bury the Light, since it's my favourite song.
If you want some video game songs to react to, how about Genshin Impact's Boss Themes?
Some really good ones would be Tartaglia's boss theme, La Signora's boss theme, Azdaha's boss theme and Shouki no Kami (or simply Scaramouche) boss theme
I'd love to see you react to them!
yoooo you did that, it's the most epic and cool song from a video game ever
I love your commentary you put in your videos, man. Its entertaining and educational too. Everytime I watch your videos, I learn more about the art of video game music. Also, if you havent checked out the Monster Hunter: World OST yet, you should give it a listen and start with Proof of a Hero. Love your videos, man.
Ur words on each reacts is so delicious.. Thank u very much for that!!!
The rythim...the changes in melancholic and scream of freedom and motivation....the crescendo....its PURE FIRE
