I love how Isaac tries to please Greed, like he's clinging into the one person that isn't trying to kill him, even if that person doesn't care about anything but his money.
This song also has me thinking, "What the hell is he even gonna spend that money on? It's not like there's any shops beside his own." But then I realised "Oh yeah, he's literally Greed itself." Greedy people will always try to get as much money as they can, even when realistically most of it will never even be spent on anything. Only makes Isaac's world feel even more depressing.
honestly sounds alot sadder when you think of it like if your stuck in your mom basement crawling with unholy creatures to only stumble across a shop to have a greedy person inside who wont listen to you and expects you to hand over your money for some good upgrades
If you've paid attention, you may or may not have noticed that even the lyrics are showing the character of both Isaac and Greed. Isaac, being a very young child, uses a simple font, no capital letters at all and hardly uses punctuation marks. Whereas Greed, who displays himself as a tradesman, uses a font which makes him seem more sophisticated, yet slightly intimidating, uses capital letters where needed and uses punctuation marks. I am so glad this channel exists. They put so much love and effort into their work. Even with the YT algorithm and all its flaws. Keep up the good work!
From top to bottom and left to right: Rib of Greed (Trinket), Bat Wing (Trinket), Plan C (Active item), Special Hanging Keepers (Environmental Change), D1 (Active Item), Zodiac (Item), Lil' Chest (Item), Store Key (Trinket), Sack of Sacks (Item), Black Feather (Trinket), Lucky Pennies (Environmental Change), Lost Holds Holy Mantle (The item shown is Holy Mantle which is unlocked by default, but the greed unlock lets The Lost start with the item on all future runs.), Eye of Greed (Item), Crow Heart (Trinket)
Darby really does a great job of making Greed's voice feel inviting but foreboding at the same time. Like "Sure, I can help. But it'll cost you, and by the way, I really don't care if you die as long as I get paid." He's like a light in this dark cruel world where you can get help and don't have to worry about fighting for your life, but doesn't that make him morally good. He charges you for your own survival, and Isaac has already been through a living hell. Plus, making deals with greed itself reinforces the idea Isaac is considered a sinner. Feeds nicely into the whole deadly sin idea. Besides what the hell is he even gonna spend them on? It's not like there's any shops beside his own. Only makes you realise he really is just greedy, wanting all the money he can get, even if he can't use it anywhere. Ann also does a great job of portraying Isaac's innocence and hopelessness. He just follows along with what he's told no matter what because he literally has no choice if he wants to live.
I dont think all the sins have their own ost, if they did. I can see MOTI doing a whole series on them, and a collab with all 7 sins at the end. This is not uncluding ultra greed as he isnt a miniboss.
@@jeremycocciolone9223 The revelations mod adds in special music for each of the sin mini-bosses, but I doubt they’d do lyrics for fan-made content sadly.
hes pretty much the embodiment of greed literally and metaphorically like you said since he is greed he isnt bad but just costs you for your own living sake
This... is fantastic. The theme of Greed fits with the dark undertone of the beat of this song. Even as someone who hasn't played Binding of Isaac since it was a flash game, I get so much nostalgia and chills from this.
here's an interesting parallel between Greed and Isaac, with greed being an ancient, dead version of Isaac, the instrument you synced his voice to is a regular piano, while Isaac himself has his voice synced to a toy piano. just a neat detail.
I love how he makes it very clear that all Greed wants is your money, and doesn't care about Isaac. Even so, Isaac still tries to please him, falling for his own greed.
yep what I expected from a child who is running from his own mother due to god being like “it is time for the sacrifice”. seriously. Issac is messed up. and that’s what I like about the game
I love those little details (don't know if intentional). When Greed sing about sins, there is Lust, when he sings about seeing the light, Isaac has Hoky Shot, when Greed sings that no one can hide from him, Isaac is fighting Greed and when Greed sings about being greedy, Lost is opening holy chests showing that he is greedy.
Also when Issac Is Fighting Sloth.greed says They will just Keep Growing till you can,t see the light of day.and then Issac is fighting The bigger Verson of Sloth
You did a great job in this. You really capture Isaac's voice and of course, the contrast between your meek, soft voice and Darby's booming and haunting tones really help make this song something special.
Greed's an interesting one, isn't he? He's got his own song, his own game mode! And, well, he's the only sin that doesn't (always) attack Isaac on sight. On the other hand. The devil demands a pound of flesh, but greed? Greed wants your money. There's no distance there. No "bloodthirsty monster that wants you dead and vaguely represents something evil", no trading away your life (well, heart containers) for power. Desire is the driving force behind all animal behavior, wealth has uplifted us from pathetic wretches to noble and proud beings, humans will inevitably tend to behave according to incentives more often than according to morality, scarcity is a dilemma that has birthed entire fields of study simply to try to formulate the least monstrous solution, and bombs are half price. You gotta deal with this guy. I get the impression that some people don't like that about him. You don't just get to smack him and leave (not usually, anyway). Often times, you're only alive because of Greed. Even metaphorically, that item or room you went out of your way for (purely because you _wanted_ it) might have just saved you. Sometimes, that item's one you bought from the man himself. I love it.
I'm so happy with how this video turned out. Binding is Isaac has always been a special game to me and having the opportunity to write the lyrics for this song was a dream come true. Mixed with Darby and Ann's vocals, this is just so amazing all around 💙❤️
@@MagicianXVIII I mean, to be fair no not really, a full musical is in fast NOT a good idea Lol. Now something like a musical bytes or just random songs here and there? Now that's a good idea.
Leave it to these guys to take something like Isaac and make a haunting, endearing song out of part of the OST that just drips with atmosphere through the lyrics and singing that fits the overall dreary tone of the game itself. I can only imagine the kind of lyrical dread they could put forth through songs based on other characters and bosses. -Sloth could come from existentialism and dread. Isaac's lyrics of "don't know why I bother" is a perfect possibility of why Sloth would be sloth; what would doing anything matter when death is likely just right around the corner no matter what? -Pride would just extol the joy of not caring about anybody but yourself; others are just stones to prop yourself up on. -Envy could flip the above concept by talking about how nobody else deserves what they've gotten; why should they thrive and he suffer? -Lust could have a stalker-ish and hedonistic view of desire, no love and only pleasure, and selfish pleasure at that. (Though given Isaac's age and all, I wouldn't expect Lust to get much focus if even getting a song...) -Wrath would just be unbridled anger and vitriol brought to bare, seething rage beneath every syllable. -Gluttony could be the one more comical of the seven, but still have undertones of an insatiable hunger, a hole that can't ever be permanently filled. Then there's others besides the seven sins, like the Harbingers all singing songs of doom, Mom herself with a twisted song about her devotion to her beliefs and misguided attempts at trying to make things right or such, the dueling madness of some bit of mother's love being buried beneath insanity making her view Isaac as a demon, Isaac himself facing against himself and reflecting on whether or not he's a bad child, the devil tempting Isaac to darkness with dark promises and talking about how the world above certainly offered him no light to save him, Hush with an oppressive, quiet song that hints at what's slowly happening to Isaac, and Delirium joining the likes of Marx and Jevil's ilk in being a chaotic song jumping from beat to subject in the lyrics, but inevitably leading towards Isaac's final fate... Perhaps I went a little overboard here, but I'd say it's a testament to how good this one song is that it sent this much going through my mind for a time. :)
Maybe make lust a craving for someone to just care about him? Lust doesn't HAVE to mean sexual things. Like the lust for power? In the games lust runs after Isaac and doesn't stop, maybe interprete that was lust being that great desire for someone, hell anyone to care? Just someone to hold him close and say everything will be alright. Not sexual in any way. Just an idea tho.
@@ProfessorMor It is pretty annoying, isn't it? Eventually on a file I started as a sort of precursor to Repentance before it comes out in a couple of months, I got sick of the constant jams and installed a mod that prevents them from happening. I wish they functioned a little more like the Greed machine. Granted, that one jams too but its jamming chance is determined by however many coins you've already donated as whichever character you happen to be playing as. The normal shop machines have no such rule and just jam at complete random. Heck, even making it so the later machines aren't also jammed would be an improvement.
Greed, in Hell waiting to respawn: I don't know whether I should be proud of you for that much greed, or angry that you bombed me. Eh, how about both? *mouth rips into unnaturally big smile and muffled screams of anger can be heard* Probably how he feels everytime we bomb him lmao
Has anyone else noticed how much the binding of Isaac seems to focus on greed so much more than the other sins. Even pride, which is supposed to be the deadliest sin of them all, is focused on less than greed. Always found it odd. Edit: I already figured it out on my own a long time ago. Like atleast a few days after posting this. Go to the replies before replying yourself so that its not repetitive. If you want an explanation, there are plenty down there. No ones gotten particularly repetitive yet, but there are only so many possible explanations, and I'd rather stop it from getting to that point before it does.
I’m pretty sure that’s because of the very nature of rogue-likes. You’re always striving to get more items and upgrades to make your run easier to win. A constant hunger for more power sounds pretty greedy to me.
@@azathoththeprimalchaos2289 in terms of the greater story, it actually does have a reason. Edmund said that out of all sins, Isaac suffers from Greed the most.
One thing I sortof dislike about Greed is the pop culture interpretation of it. Greed is, by definition, the perversion of ambition. It is the willingness to sacrifice the things that should never be sacrificed for further progress towards an objective. Greed is the shortsighted desire to obtain that progress as immediately as possible, or progress even past worthlessness. It is like if you bought a shovel to dig a hole, dug until the shovel's handle broke, and threw away the shovel head even though the head is fine and the handle is easily replaceable. Or, you just keep digging far past the point of the hole being useful. People even fall in and die from the fall, but you keep on digging. There is no reason other than having the deepest hole, and the increasing costs and effort are creating an exponential strain on yourself and the people who have to deal with the hole and excess dirt, but you still keep digging. It is irrational by nature, and the most prevalent sin. Think of the corporate billionaire that will bribe politicians to make a law that makes them 10% more money. They already have a ton of money that they can barely use, so why have more? Greed in Isaac, meanwhile, is what Isaac considers to be his primary Sin, hence why it isn't as hostile. The very game even needs the player to get greedy every now and again to push forward.
Darby's superhuman vocal range does it again! As usual, I didn't even recognize him until reading the credits. That's a sign of a great voice actor/impressionist.
If you think about it, killing the deadly sins only makes you one with them, since they drop items that make you more like them. Wrath drops bomb items, lust drops the virus, greed drops money related items, etc.
just for fun, here's what greed's selling in the shops at 0:00 & 1:45 , going left to right, top to bottom -Rib of Greed (5 pennies) : Trinket, Prevents Greed and Super Greed from spawning as bosses, increases coin drops -Key (5 pennies): Unlocks various locks throughout the basement. Never hurts to have a few. -Bat Wing (5 pennies): Trinket, When you kill an enemy, there's a small chance you'll gain flight for the rest of the room -Plan C (15 Pennies): Single use Active Item, will kill all enemies in a room on use... then kills you 15 seconds later. Only use in emergencies. -Sack of Sacks (15 Pennies): Passive Item, has a chance of dropping sacks full of items whenever you clear a room. -Just a small keeper. Not an actual item, probably just providing the extra vocals when greed sings over themselves. -D1 (15 pennies): Active Item, randomly duplicates a pickup item in the room you're in. -Black Feather (5 Pennies): Trinket, gives +0.2 damage for each "sinful" item you have -Counterfeit Penny (5 Pennies): Trinket, has a chance to double pennies when they're collected -Zodiac (15 Pennies): Passive, Upon starting a floor, gain one of the effects of the zodiac items, chosen at random. -Holy Mantle (15 Pennies): Passive, Blocks the first instance of damage you would have taken in a room. Refreshes upon entering a new room. [NOTE: it could also be the relic, but the lighter color/marks on the cross make me think it's holy mantle... but just to have all bases covered: -The Relic (15 Pennies): Passive, spawns a familiar that creates a soul heart every four rooms] -Lil Chest (15 Pennies): Passive, spawns a chest familiar that drops a pickup every few rooms -Swallowed Penny (5 Pennies): Trinket, spawns pennies whenever you take damage. -Crow Heart (5 Pennies): Trinket, If you have soul/black hearts along with normal hearts, damage will be first applied to normal hearts (as opposed to normal, where soul/black hearts take priority)
i love the artwork in this video. the first one has Greed very welcoming with items in the backround and the second has him with pennies in his eyes with a foreboding posture and isaac almost cowering infront of him
not pictured: Isaac bombing the greed shopkeeps in hopes of getting 2 extra pennies/ a better chance of making a deal with the devil. ...I'm not even joking
2:28 Best part about this scene? It shows that not just money paves the road to greed. Hoarding anything, even if relatively invaluable, or spending frivolously in hopes of wealth in one form or another; that’s greed.
There's something unnerving about how the song just immediately starts. Usually there's some kind of intro with MOTI songs but here you're thrown right into it with no buildup. Might be intentional, because greed is always impatient. Greed always wants what it wants now, now, NOW, without pause
1:32 “All their mistakes will just keep growing til you can’t see the light of day” is easily my favourite line. It sounds so hopeless and bleak, it really encapsulates the feeling that this song is going for.
Greed: "Even if you try to run away you still must pay" Mr. Me, Double Steam Sale, Diplopia, Crooked Penny, Store Credit, and Credit Card: "are we a joke to you?"
Who agrees that Darby just became one of the scariest singers? Also, here's the lyrics: Verse 1: Welcome, to my shop, Come take a stop, While on this run, Come look around, As you travel deeper through this basement underground... Verse 2: See, something you want? (yes I want that item) Well, let's see, (see I've got these pennies) You're a few short, (and I was really hoping) Go get more pennies, (you could cut me a deal, Greed...) Greed, is what I am, 'Cause no one can, Hide from their sins, There's no escape... Even if you try to run away you still must pay... Verse 3: Welcome, to my store, Here on this floor, Come on now kid, Heaven forbid... You can't pass up these great items to help you explore... Verse 4: Go... (guess, I'll fight another...) On kid... (don't know why I bother...) Just, kill... (they never drop what I need...) A, few, more... (but I'll keep on trying, Greed.) Greed, is what I am, 'Cause no one can, Hide from their sins, All their mistakes. We'll just keep growing 'till you can't see the light of day... Verse 5: Now, in my bazaar... You've made it far, To get so deep, What a relief... While you're here won't you donate all your pennies to me...? Verse 6: Right, in the slot, (but I want that item...) Just, put them in, (I mean if you're really sure...) It, gives upgrades, (I mean, a few coins won't hurt...) Then, you can spend more, (I hope I can trust you, Greed...) Greed, is what I am, 'Cause no one can, Hide from their sins, Can't hide from me... Even those who claim to be pure fall to their own greed... Final Verse: In this market here, One thing is clear, I am the king, All bow to Greed... Everybody wants a piece of the pie which is me...
I read this and proceeded to instantly look that up, because I thought it was a reference but nope you apparently came up with it yourself Mind if I use that in a story?
I never found Greed scary, but HO boy has this song changed that. I also like how nostalgia clocks me in the back of my head and takes whatever I was gonna do and just says, "Enjoy this for 30 minutes." And I always obey-
2:45 my mans butt is bigger then his own greed💀and convinently seconds later he says"everybody wants a piece of the pie wich is me" nah bro more like the cake of yours
My lord... You guys did such an wonderful job with The binding of Isaac soundtrack! Flash shop theme sounds soo good with your lyrics and I can't wait to see more of isaac songs made by you guys. I am looking forward for your take on Repentance soundtracks, like River of Despair, Fissures or Genesis II👀
*Yes.* this is just a YES, I loved this theme when I played the original, kind of miss it in Rebirth but its still holds up. Also two things, 1. This is made so well since it sounds like someone taking advantage of a child who doesn't know better (which is exactly what's happening), and 2. I'd love to hear more of these classic Isaac songs with lyrics (and waiting for this to have a 1 hour version)
Holy shit i read it as "3 years ago" and was wondering 1) how it's so good 2) why I didn't see this before 3) why it has so little views 4) why it got recommended to me today And then realized that no, this happened last week.
Dang, everybody needs to like this so we can maybe hear a cover of Beatboxing Satan Land or Giant White Goo Skull. Also, I love how the visuals match the lyrics, when he's talking about how nobody can escape their sins we see Lust and Sloth, and on "will just keep on growing" it shifts to Super Sloth.
No joke, I have played this game for a collective 320 hours! I love this game to death. I'm so happy that one of my favorite voices on the internet is singing about this games. Thank you!
I love how Isaac tries to please Greed, like he's clinging into the one person that isn't trying to kill him, even if that person doesn't care about anything but his money.
What an ingenius explanation!
Especially given how he never really listens to Isaac. He always talks over him, as if Isaac isn’t even there; just someone with HIS money.
This song also has me thinking, "What the hell is he even gonna spend that money on? It's not like there's any shops beside his own." But then I realised "Oh yeah, he's literally Greed itself."

100% up for your ideas
Criminally underrated comment, man. I'd actually love to see these ideas being used for future videos
what about gluttony.
Good
Maybe make lust a craving for someone to just care about him? Lust doesn't HAVE to mean sexual things. Like the lust for power? In the games lust runs after Isaac and doesn't stop, maybe interprete that was lust being that great desire for someone, hell anyone to care? Just someone to hold him close and say everything will be alright. Not sexual in any way. Just an idea tho.
The greed has a comforting yet unsettling voice and it fits isaac perfectly. Can we have a the binding of isaac the musical
Yes please
Godhead yes
That wouldn't really work because several songs could not be even

0:24, "See I've got these pennies."
Well that was a lie.
Yes your holy kirbo
Lol, I wasn't the only one to notice that
"While you're here won't you donate all your pennies to me?"
Me, who jammed the machine four floors ago with just one penny: -_-
Gods that's a mood. When recording for this I kept jamming it on my runs meant for donations and had to restart so many times.
@@ProfessorMor It is pretty annoying, isn't it?
Eventually on a file I started as a sort of precursor to Repentance before it comes out in a couple of months, I got sick of the constant jams and installed a mod that prevents them from happening.
I wish they functioned a little more like the Greed machine. Granted, that one jams too but its jamming chance is determined by however many coins you've already donated as whichever character you happen to be playing as. The normal shop machines have no such rule and just jam at complete random.
Heck, even making it so the later machines aren't also jammed would be an improvement.
you can't expect greed to spend money on making his donation machine run smoothly
@@BigHatLoganGaming just like my landlord and the FUCKING WASHING MACHINES
Whats the machine even do?
If I was Issac this song would go:
'Welcome to my sho-'
Wait kid what are you doing with that bo-
OH SHIT MY MONEY GIVE THAT BACK ASSHOLE
Ye
*Some Spiders spawn*
God damn it, I just needed two coins for the Map!
Greed, in Hell waiting to respawn: I don't know whether I should be proud of you for that much greed, or angry that you bombed me. Eh, how about both? *mouth rips into unnaturally big smile and muffled screams of anger can be heard*
Probably how he feels everytime we bomb him lmao
My money, noooo
Greed just seems like the type of guy who has an obsession but can be a chill person to hang around
he's definitely the kind of guy to eat all the food at a sleepover while everyone is asleep
like some drug addicts, i have heard they are some chill ass people
This song: *exists*
Everybody, bombing Greed: I’m going to end this whole mans career
This makes me wanting Binding of Isaac Musical Bytes.
Good idea
That would be awesome, especially with Baranowsky's soundtrack
YES please !
I agree.
Even more with Repentance.
It's really cool to see different people writing the lyrics for these songs. You're all so good at it! Great job by everyone involved.
Has anyone else noticed how much the binding of Isaac seems to focus on greed so much more than the other sins. Even pride, which is supposed to be the deadliest sin of them all, is focused on less than greed. Always found it odd.
Edit: I already figured it out on my own a long time ago. Like atleast a few days after posting this. Go to the replies before replying yourself so that its not repetitive. If you want an explanation, there are plenty down there. No ones gotten particularly repetitive yet, but there are only so many possible explanations, and I'd rather stop it from getting to that point before it does.
I’m pretty sure that’s because of the very nature of rogue-likes. You’re always striving to get more items and upgrades to make your run easier to win. A constant hunger for more power sounds pretty greedy to me.
@@thebiolibrary5572 Thats fair. Its messing with my ocd a little, and it doesn't make much sense in the greater story but you have a great point.
@@azathoththeprimalchaos2289 in terms of the greater story, it actually does have a reason. Edmund said that out of all sins, Isaac suffers from Greed the most.
@@thebiolibrary5572 yeah I just heard about that on another video. Everything makes sense now.

Good idea I mean this slaps that means other ones should includinding the boss music of the basement (hopefully)
@@weegeeboi5267 and my inermost apocalypse delirium and chorus mortis
One thing I sortof dislike about Greed is the pop culture interpretation of it.
Greed is, by definition, the perversion of ambition. It is the willingness to sacrifice the things that should never be sacrificed for further progress towards an objective.
Greed is the shortsighted desire to obtain that progress as immediately as possible, or progress even past worthlessness.
It is like if you bought a shovel to dig a hole, dug until the shovel's handle broke, and threw away the shovel head even though the head is fine and the handle is easily replaceable.
Or, you just keep digging far past the point of the hole being useful. People even fall in and die from the fall, but you keep on digging. There is no reason other than having the deepest hole, and the increasing costs and effort are creating an exponential strain on yourself and the people who have to deal with the hole and excess dirt, but you still keep digging.
It is irrational by nature, and the most prevalent sin. Think of the corporate billionaire that will bribe politicians to make a law that makes them 10% more money. They already have a ton of money that they can barely use, so why have more?
Greed in Isaac, meanwhile, is what Isaac considers to be his primary Sin, hence why it isn't as hostile. The very game even needs the player to get greedy every now and again to push forward.
I really like this song, it's slow pace fits Isaacs miserable atmosphere. you know it kinda reminds me of Rush hour.
Yeah and It makes your want to see more osaac songs from them lol
Darby's superhuman vocal range does it again! As usual, I didn't even recognize him until reading the credits. That's a sign of a great voice actor/impressionist.
Thank you so much, Bird ^^

@@DarbyCupit ah ok
If you think about it, killing the deadly sins only makes you one with them, since they drop items that make you more like them. Wrath drops bomb items, lust drops the virus, greed drops money related items, etc.
Just notice that the virus is suppose to be an std
"They never drop what I need" truer statement about isaac has never been said
Thats the truest statement about any game ever
just for fun, here's what greed's selling in the shops at 0:00 & 1:45 , going left to right, top to bottom
-Rib of Greed (5 pennies) : Trinket, Prevents Greed and Super Greed from spawning as bosses, increases coin drops
-Key (5 pennies): Unlocks various locks throughout the basement. Never hurts to have a few.
-Bat Wing (5 pennies): Trinket, When you kill an enemy, there's a small chance you'll gain flight for the rest of the room
-Plan C (15 Pennies): Single use Active Item, will kill all enemies in a room on use... then kills you 15 seconds later. Only use in emergencies.
-Sack of Sacks (15 Pennies): Passive Item, has a chance of dropping sacks full of items whenever you clear a room.
-Just a small keeper. Not an actual item, probably just providing the extra vocals when greed sings over themselves.
-D1 (15 pennies): Active Item, randomly duplicates a pickup item in the room you're in.
-Black Feather (5 Pennies): Trinket, gives +0.2 damage for each "sinful" item you have
-Counterfeit Penny (5 Pennies): Trinket, has a chance to double pennies when they're collected
-Zodiac (15 Pennies): Passive, Upon starting a floor, gain one of the effects of the zodiac items, chosen at random.
-Holy Mantle (15 Pennies): Passive, Blocks the first instance of damage you would have taken in a room. Refreshes upon entering a new room.
[NOTE: it could also be the relic, but the lighter color/marks on the cross make me think it's holy mantle... but just to have all bases covered:
-The Relic (15 Pennies): Passive, spawns a familiar that creates a soul heart every four rooms]
-Lil Chest (15 Pennies): Passive, spawns a chest familiar that drops a pickup every few rooms
-Swallowed Penny (5 Pennies): Trinket, spawns pennies whenever you take damage.
-Crow Heart (5 Pennies): Trinket, If you have soul/black hearts along with normal hearts, damage will be first applied to normal hearts (as opposed to normal, where soul/black hearts take priority)
Now I want a Small Keeper familiar
@@drchickengie2403 but you can be a keeper
@@awesomeii8346 keeper character with a keeper familiar, is the familiar made of him? or is he made of familiar? he screams for he does not know
I think the key is shopkeepers key
Hes just singing there... MENACINGLY
i love the artwork in this video. the first one has Greed very welcoming with items in the backround and the second has him with pennies in his eyes with a foreboding posture and isaac almost cowering infront of him
not pictured: Isaac bombing the greed shopkeeps in hopes of getting 2 extra pennies/ a better chance of making a deal with the devil.
...I'm not even joking
I would like to say your wrong, but I DID do that during my recordings to get footage for the video XD
@@ProfessorMor oh howdy
Well technically, in the second verse, Isaac doused the flames next to Greed to get 2 extra pennies, so that could count.
And then you get 2 spiders.
But then you accidentally find the secret room!
"HES A SPECIAL ONE! I DONATED 210 COINS TO THE GREED DONATION MACHINE, I AINT WASTIN IT!"
2:28 Best part about this scene? It shows that not just money paves the road to greed. Hoarding anything, even if relatively invaluable, or spending frivolously in hopes of wealth in one form or another; that’s greed.
That’s kind of a main theme of the game, I think it’s neat
This is so good interpretation of Greed Shop
I definitely didn’t expect this, and especially didn’t expect it to be THAT good
Damn, that voice is as smooth as butter.
That Greed voice at first gave me Sans vibes and now I can't unhear it.
I have thousands of hours in this game and hearing lyrics to a song i've heard so much is truly astounding and I love this, keep up the good work man.
Man you are the KING of drawing and singing. I’m really GREEDY for more Binding of Isaac content.
Its all fun and games until the shopkeep and his entire goddamn bloodline starts trying to kill you
Hello there, fellow kyle
oh hey another one
Can I join in this union?
Yes you can
Greed
SUPER greed
ULTRA GREED
ULTRA GOLD GREEDIER GREED
There's something unnerving about how the song just immediately starts. Usually there's some kind of intro with MOTI songs but here you're thrown right into it with no buildup. Might be intentional, because greed is always impatient. Greed always wants what it wants now, now, NOW, without pause
Yeah true
1:32 “All their mistakes will just keep growing til you can’t see the light of day” is easily my favourite line. It sounds so hopeless and bleak, it really encapsulates the feeling that this song is going for.
Oh yes, my favourite line too! Just as "even if you try to run away you still must pay". Ah, i wish it would be something more, than just a song.
It's kinda cute that Isaac trusting Greed.
I like the idea of making Greed the most prominent and powerful sin, as most sins can have their origin traced back to Greed.
I like that all of Greed's duets with Isaac end with him asking for more ("Go get more pennies", "Just kill a few more", "Then you can spend more").
Greed: "Even if you try to run away you still must pay"
Mr. Me, Double Steam Sale, Diplopia, Crooked Penny, Store Credit, and Credit Card: "are we a joke to you?"
hello
@Noah zzstu Smith it's probably more greed in general, with a focus on shopkeepers
@Noah zzstu Smith alright then.
I don't really see it tbh
@Noah zzstu Smith how?
@Noah zzstu Smith yeah, I know
Funfact: The vocals of Greed and Papyrus were sung by the same person.
Darby you are insane dude, I love it!
Game Theory: Greed is Papyrus
Me: nobody can add lyrics to the TBoI ost and make it sound good-
Man on the Internet: I did!
Me: NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE!
Not scientifically Probably I think you mean ;)

@@ProfessorMor i meant uff as for the OP realising he was disproven because this Song is good

-How many times you listened to this song?
-GREEEED IS WHAT I AAAAAAM
I never thought about lyricizing the binding of Isaac, but this is great! Excellent work you guys have done here.
Who agrees that Darby just became one of the scariest singers?
Also, here's the lyrics:
Verse 1:
Welcome, to my shop,
Come take a stop,
While on this run,
Come look around,
As you travel deeper through this basement underground...
Verse 2:
See, something you want?
(yes I want that item)
Well, let's see,
(see I've got these pennies)
You're a few short,
(and I was really hoping)
Go get more pennies,
(you could cut me a deal, Greed...)
Greed, is what I am,
'Cause no one can,
Hide from their sins,
There's no escape...
Even if you try to run away you still must pay...
Verse 3:
Welcome, to my store,
Here on this floor,
Come on now kid,
Heaven forbid...
You can't pass up these great items to help you explore...
Verse 4:
Go...
(guess, I'll fight another...)
On kid...
(don't know why I bother...)
Just, kill...
(they never drop what I need...)
A, few, more...
(but I'll keep on trying, Greed.)
Greed, is what I am,
'Cause no one can,
Hide from their sins,
All their mistakes.
We'll just keep growing 'till you can't see the light of day...
Verse 5:
Now, in my bazaar...
You've made it far,
To get so deep,
What a relief...
While you're here won't you donate all your pennies to me...?
Verse 6:
Right, in the slot,
(but I want that item...)
Just, put them in,
(I mean if you're really sure...)
It, gives upgrades,
(I mean, a few coins won't hurt...)
Then, you can spend more,
(I hope I can trust you, Greed...)
Greed, is what I am,
'Cause no one can,
Hide from their sins,
Can't hide from me...
Even those who claim to be pure fall to their own greed...
Final Verse:
In this market here,
One thing is clear,
I am the king,
All bow to Greed...
Everybody wants a piece of the pie which is me...
How long Did you do this And why
@@gottvot8955 it didn't take too long. and why? because reasons.

Darby’s vocal versatility is *insane*
"everybody wants a piece of the pie which is me" nah bro I want that fuckin CAKE you got there
I never found Greed scary, but HO boy has this song changed that.
I also like how nostalgia clocks me in the back of my head and takes whatever I was gonna do and just says, "Enjoy this for 30 minutes." And I always obey-
3 years. How have i not discovered it till now? This is an absolute masterpiece
I was just casually playing Isaac when this dropped
Same
Same 2 days ago
Same lol
I never thought I would hear a sometimes reanimated corpse sing, especially one with a rope around its neck.
I just bought binding of Isaac and now there is a musical song from man on the internet!? What timing!
me as a pretty old isaac player i would say that this song is one of the best i've heard about the binding of isaac
Greed's voice sounds so familiar and calming I love it
“Greed is what I am cause no one can hide from their sins” I think that’s the best part
We NEED more Isaac songs... it'd be interesting to hear one for every floor's main theme, and also the boss themes
As a *The Keeper* main, i can confirm this is exactly what is going inside my head while playing
2:45 my mans butt is bigger then his own greed💀and convinently seconds later he says"everybody wants a piece of the pie wich is me" nah bro more like the cake of yours
Never played the game, but the song is strangely peaceful.
it's the only song in isaac that doesn't bombard you, a brief respite away from all the fighting especially in the original flash game
My lord... You guys did such an wonderful job with The binding of Isaac soundtrack! Flash shop theme sounds soo good with your lyrics and I can't wait to see more of isaac songs made by you guys. I am looking forward for your take on Repentance soundtracks, like River of Despair, Fissures or Genesis II👀
I don't think I'll be able to hear this song again without singing anymore, but it's worth it!
Well, that's unexpected! I loov it!
*Yes.* this is just a YES, I loved this theme when I played the original, kind of miss it in Rebirth but its still holds up. Also two things, 1. This is made so well since it sounds like someone taking advantage of a child who doesn't know better (which is exactly what's happening), and 2. I'd love to hear more of these classic Isaac songs with lyrics (and waiting for this to have a 1 hour version)
Same about the hour loop
greed looks kinda cute despite being an actual husk of a corpse.
I agree he's kinda cute with the rope I thought I was the only one lol but I think Azazel is cute too weirdly enough
sweet lord PLEASE don't let this be the only binding of isaac you guys do. this is too good to be a one-off
Holy shit i read it as "3 years ago" and was wondering
1) how it's so good
2) why I didn't see this before
3) why it has so little views
4) why it got recommended to me today
And then realized that no, this happened last week.
greed: GREEED IS WHAT I AAAAM
isaac: greed...
greed: CAUSE NO ONE CAAAN HIDE FROME THEIR SIIINS
isaac: please i just want to buy something...
you know you are a nerd when you can recognize the items in the shelfs
its been 3 years and this is still a banger
Gott damnit Darby!! Stop making me fall in love with every character you portray!!
Greed is one of the most important beings in TBOI, since it was Isaac's father gambling addiction is one of the key factors for the history to happen
I love the calm almost monotone sinister voice
I love how echoing the music is, it fits the theme of binding of Isaac so well.
Boy, why I didn't think of this before? This is a very cool song and TBOI have one of my favorites soundtracks in videogames
Such a low pitch for greed, fits well and is fun to harmonize to while singing along to the honestly catchy lyrics. Love your vids!
Dang, everybody needs to like this so we can maybe hear a cover of Beatboxing Satan Land or Giant White Goo Skull.
Also, I love how the visuals match the lyrics, when he's talking about how nobody can escape their sins we see Lust and Sloth, and on "will just keep on growing" it shifts to Super Sloth.
No joke, I have played this game for a collective 320 hours! I love this game to death. I'm so happy that one of my favorite voices on the internet is singing about this games. Thank you!
