This really is me when the slag is building up and my internal processes are seizing
Bro, same.
Nargacuga?~
Pebbles: this is so sad, can I get some more water?
@@casualbird7671 Hi that would be me
@@kittyhawk2352 ❤️
I think while Pebbles' theme gives a sense of confusion, anger, yet otherworldly and ethereal vibes, Moon's theme focuses more on the latter, while also having just a very small side of urgency behind it.
Fun fact, this plays faintly in saints campaign on your way to the echo
i knew i heard it aaaa
She looked into the misty water, looking at a familiar face.
A metallic face with eyes and a dot on its forehead.
So different from what she used to see, all those ages ago on that projection.
It was a box, a big one.
Now she’s so small, disconnected from her true self.
Now, she can only look to the moon.
this basically shows the difference between how pebbles and moon reacts when in danger, one is erratic and angry while the other stays calm and collected
erratic??? like a pulse??? like an erratic pulse?????????
@@scelebob4329 do you not know what erratic means?
@@Yharon-vq7jw did you not get the joke?
She just can not afford blasting random gods at max volume anymore
@@seneryy true
It makes me so sad that she collapsed. But I’m happy I got to see her before she did
Some of the melodies are so deep in pitch that they almost sound like creaking metal. Like the legs of Moon's can, which are slowly caving in on themselves.
The percussion sounds a bit like a clock ticking.
The timer ticking down until the final cycle Moon remains standing.
Downpour might be the ultimate piece of fan service ever made, a love letter towards the games community. I know the game has become wayyyyy more mainstream now, but i couldnt imagine this game ever getting additional content like this back when it released. The community was small, the game sold ok but not amazing, yet arguably the most dedicated and friendly community ive ever been a part of. Its insane the development of this DLC began back in 2018 i think, when the game was still pretty obscure.
Yet the fans of the game would still put in 5 years making one of the best DLCs ever made for a game, period. If not THE best DLC EVER made for a game. Even when there was a good chance not many would ever play it.
This and random gods are some of the best pieces in the game. Mainly, it's because I think they do what rain world does best: put you in the shoes of the slugcat.
Random gods is powerfull, awe inspiring, and terrifying. Perfect for the tiny slugcat's first encounter with a being like five pebbles, so far above anything we'd encountered to that point.
Moon's on the other hand, feels more familiar, and less intimidating, just like an iterator would be to spearmaster, and to the player as well. However, behint the divine melody that is heard throughout the track, there is also a sense of impending doom in a way there isn't in five pebbles, becaus his collapse is nowhere near as imminent as moon's.
Absolutely incredible
I really adore the mix of beauty and unease in Moon's core. We're somewhere incredible that's breaking down and about to be destroyed..
One thing that really sets the "could collapse at any moment" mood is the ticking clock in the background, which is probably what spearmaster is thinking when seeing what's happen to mood.
Slightly unrelated but when you said “puts you in the slugcat’s shoes” I imagined spearmaster dripped out.
Deep energy good example of this
I much prefer this over the Square Wave spam with occasional pitch changes to make it look like "music" also known as "Random Gods".
The countdown to death, absolutely fucking immaculate. Ethereal and haunting.
The song and vibe of the Spearmaster LttM just gives me a sense of dread. You can hear the sound of a ticking clock in the background of the majority of the song, like you are running out of time, and the thing is, it isn't for you. It's for Moon, one of the few creatures in this game to show compassion to you, which would make this relatively relaxed region feel like something you have to get through in a single cycle, otherwise something bad will happen.
0:46 Sounds like a chime that would play whenever an Iterator is first powered on.
bro everyone else is talking about ‘ooh big robot’ and here you are like ‘windows xp startup’
you remind me of me in the present
i remember this blasting at full volume as spearmaster in that one room, my ears still hurt to this day
Such serenity. Oh Moon...
it feels relaxing exploring a super computer knowing you dont have to run away from mold spiders every room you go
You still have to run away from spiders they're just not made of mold
@@CircusSabre at least they dont have a bottomless stomach!
*sitcom laughter*
Reminds me that acts of true sacrifice are/approach the divine, especially ones made for those we care for most.
I believe it's implied (if not stated) that moon could have intervened and prevented their collapse, but chose not to for pebbles's sake
I was struggling with motivation to play through Downpour when it first dropped. I was mostly just doing Jolly co-op with friends.
But, eventually, I decided.. "Y'know what? I wanna start Spearmaster now, actually." because I really liked Spearmaster.
It was really tough. I was a little rusty because I hadn't played since 2019, although I was sorta better at combat than I used to be probably because I have better reaction time now.
I streamed it to my friend as well. And, after a long struggle, particularly pertaining Chimney Canopy, I made it to Moon.
Waterfront Facility was incredible-- it's honestly my favorite region. It was so cool travelling through pre-crash Shoreline, but Moon's structure was awe-inspiring.
It felt like entering a superstructure for the first time. Of course, I'd beaten Survivor years ago, but I used a guide so my experience was hampered. I went into this fully blind.
And this song was the first one that stuck with me the most. I distinctly remember it. Being beneath Moon's can, floating upwards and staring into it, awestruck, as the music began to swell.
and then i got stuck in that room for like the next 6 minutes which kinda took away from the feeling But that aside, this has gotta be one of my favorite songs in the track. It's so ethereal and terrifying.
The exact moment is one of the ones I remember the most. It's so important to me.
I've begun to honestly grow nostalgic for Downpour. It's been a YEAR since it came out!! That's crazy!! Still struggling believing it..
that's awesome! I sorta have the opposite problem, I finished all the campaigns but I can't play jolly co-op
The song that plays before your little brother breaks your legs.
MAN I WISH I COULD EXPERIENCE VISITING MOON AGAIN HOLY SHIT
*Incoherent sobbing*
I still regret being the person to use headphones with highish volume and to hear this in game. I didn't know moon was a fan of terrifying those who visit her.
something about the vague monotone siren noise in the background coupled with the ticking sound keep the general urgency of Moon's current state, while also maintaining the grandiose nature of the superstructure. It's like it's saying "this would be beautiful, if time wasn't running out"
1:18 Downpour's soundtrack 👌
When you wake up at 5am on the day of vacation and have to wait for everyone else:
this is amazing
Is it true that you die after 20 cycles?
thank u ballSucker334
WHAT IS THAT USERNAME
ballsucker hunter
you're amazing, @ballSucker344
Dear god, why it sounds like i finally achieved heaven?
THX theme
This is the best rain world track, it is so powerful. Such a fitting track for Moon
JESUS FUCK WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO LOUD
Because it's showing you how powerful moon was before she ran out of water
@@lego174 yes but also god damn my ears
@@lego174 my guy these are the sounds of a dying flesh calculator NOT the sounds of a mechanical god
it was NOT fun listening to this for 2 full hours because I couldn't find the entrance to her chamber
Because Moon is having a kidney failure.

When I heard it for the first time I thought im going to die...
Someone should have this in the background of a computer water leak then a crash. Because that is what is happening.
why does it sound like an iterator bootup
Probably because Moon keeps crashing and so has to reboot.
More like an iterator shutdown.
praying for the day someone makes a rock/metal remix of this. i feel like it would sound so good. like the slow fades would do really well leading into some drum session or something but alas, it is just a dream for now
Does this have the sundown leitmotif as well or?
it do. so does Satellite, Moondown, and Random Fate, ive realized
It does, but it's really hard to hear since it's relatively slowed down and there's a bunch of ambient noise covering it.
Also it includes The Cycle and Pulse about the half end.
@@simplymax1337 Any idea when it starts exactly? Having slight troubles with actually finding it.
@@seanwilsonclan6055Thank you! I am just trying to find all songs with the leitmotifs, other than the ones you mentioned there is the obvious ones like Sundown and Pictures of the Past, then there's Random Gods, it's noticeable in Deep Ghosts and the Outro Theme (which together makes the so called Deep Light.)
Perhaps there is more but I had no luck finding them.
fav ost
The ticking clock in the background 😢
C L O C K
It is very exciting to admit that before playing spearmaster this song felt like complete abomination of random sounds to me, but now i rediscover so much music again and it makes such a colourfull picture.
I imagine a clean bright moon chambers filled with swarms of neuron flies, it is very loud u could sence the beat of her heart and gravity disruptor, you can witness a desperate efforts of machine with UNLIMITED (processing)POWER trying to escape its collapse, and you can do nothing about it...
I absolutely hate that Looks To The Moon doesn't get a proper build up to her chamber, like Five Pebbles had, music barely starts and you're already in her chamber.
Anyone know the name of the track that plays in the place where spearmaster’s character unlock is? I don’t know if it plays anywhere else.
I believe it's "Silicon"
Theme V
this could have fit better
Nah Random Gods did it so much better
It was much more subtle that's for sure
