Aidan Skillings I know you commented years ago, but Toby did rise to fame as I'm sure you're aware Hopefully we can see some of the other Homestuck musicians more often too tho
Honestly four years later, I'm not even huge in the fandom anymore, but whenever I see the word frost I just think of this song and smile. One of HS' best imo
Have been racking my brain for the whole day trying to remember what this song was called and had it playing in my head... the moment I lie down to go to sleep I remember the name and here I am

tfw you check the comments section to see what in the comic this song refers to and the whole section is full of 1) OMG IT'S SU 2) OMG IT'S TOBY 3) OMG SHUT UP ABOUT SU AND TOBY *sigh*
me, who hasn't been in the fandom for 5 years: oh, what's that song in my head? is it... frostbite? *finds the song on the first time* aye still got it 👌 😎
Sounds like playstation-era racing game music... Or just breakcore in general. Toby fox seemed to really like the amen break and similar drum loops back then.
I like how this reminds people of so many different game soundtracks. For me I hear Paper Mario's Ice Palace and the snowy area leading to the starkid village. Ahhh nostalgia.
i didnt remember what the name of this song was but i knew it was icey related so i searched up he term "homestuck ice crystal" and it actually came up lol
To me i imagine a 2D plataform like the newer Castlevania, in well, a ice ambient, but with some trees trying to survive in this cold, with their leaves getting caried with the wind and snow.
Aaaand this reminds me of RotG, the pairing called Frostbite (Jack x Tooth). It kind of has this sense of adventure and fun, and sounds like a bit of a kingdom. Toothiana's domain, maybe?
I know I shouldn't make this comparison as everyone hates when someone from another fandom compares it to something they like, but the beginning reminds me of Steven Universe.
This song reminds me a lot of the first phase of Andrius' boss fight from Genshin Impact for some reason. I think it's because of the overlap in how the songs portray an "icy" aesthetic - high, floaty strings/keys contrasted with a stock drumbeat and low bass throbs.
Because then people would have a hard time going into trickster mode and running around in circles like idiots singing the first two lines of jingle bells over and over again forever. Also, this reminds me of Bomberman Heroes' ice world, because everyone else is saying what it reminds them of.
For gods sake stop comparing SU to other fandoms, Homestuck and this song came before, and SU is briefly based off of it! Of course there are similarities between the two!
Nope! Homestuck is a webcomic, and unfortunately this song never made it into the comic itself. There are a ton of songs like that in the Homestuck OST, that are in the albums but never actually featured.
I want to see Homestuck musicians get big in their own right. They deserve it.
Aidan Skillings I know you commented years ago, but Toby did rise to fame as I'm sure you're aware
Hopefully we can see some of the other Homestuck musicians more often too tho
It happened to toby. Who says it can't happen to the others?
Dude, your wish was granted.
This comment hits hard knowing toby fox music will be in the new mainseries pokemon game
Wish granted!!
Now wish the same for me. Please.
This sounds just like your average ice level in a videogame.
Why are ice level themes always so cool?
Oh wait.
+jojogape dammit dave
the puns.
To make up for ice physics and puns.
don't you deny that was friggin humerus.
The Ice Cavern in Ocarina is gorgeous music!
Honestly four years later, I'm not even huge in the fandom anymore, but whenever I see the word frost I just think of this song and smile. One of HS' best imo
What about 7 years later?
Seven years later I AM huge in the fandom again lmao
how does it feel?
What about 8 years later????
@@Prof_Granpuff what about now?
I like this track for 3 reasons:
1. It's got a nice, subtle sound.
2. It reminds me a bit of Maple Story's music.
3. My trollsona is icy.
This sounds like something straight out of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Almost minimilistic, mystic feel to it.
Have been racking my brain for the whole day trying to remember what this song was called and had it playing in my head... the moment I lie down to go to sleep I remember the name and here I am
Tonight..
*You*.
6 years later, same here.
@@gabrielnozea6156 ♥️ determination???
@@yert79 what
how did I instantly know that this was made by toby without actually looking at the description or the comments
Smell it? Hang on, excuse me... SMELL it??
Ooh... *awesome*
It just has a Toby sound to it
lol holy crap it totally does. i didnt know it was made by toby but i guess i should have
i think this song is about jade's planet i mean when i hear this song i can only picture LOFAF covered in snow
Probably; it is called _Frostbite,_ after all.
I've listened to too many high quality rips. I expected it to turn into snow halation at 1:47
Before you people point out a similarity, check the comments to see if people already pointed it out.
Replying to someone pointing out a similarity is fine, as long as you aren't complaining a whole lot
Lynera freezes the competition!
What about the other Hiveswap Characters? What is their Smash Introduction line thingy?

Man. I was looking for this and I _thought_ I even remembered what it was called. No, I had to go through BOTH songs named 'Frost' before I found it.
fuck i love the... rhythmic interplay in this song. the way the different parts dance around each other.
tfw you check the comments section to see what in the comic this song refers to and the whole section is full of
1) OMG IT'S SU
2) OMG IT'S TOBY
3) OMG SHUT UP ABOUT SU AND TOBY

Nexo Kor so, where in the comic was there ...?
I think it's Jade's planet? I'm not sure. But I mean, I'm not that useful anyway, a year has passed.
@@wsketchy Ik I'm a year late but you're thinking of Frost
Oh man what a Good and CRUNCHY sounding song!!
this song is really nice to listen to with headphones!
agreed.
I'm so fucking happy this was finally used in canon
This sounds like music made by running your finger down a comb's bristles.
Something like this should be implemented into Deltarune for Noelle
Agree
absolutely!! i can see it happening
Well, the song is by Toby “ Call me f\king radiation again and I’ll kill you “ Fox while the flutes are by someone else
that would be so cool, but i can see how that prolly won't happen bc it's already used in friendsim
im so glad this got picked up as a theme in Friendsim.
People don't see the true greatness in this kind of music, that's why.
This song really reminds me of homesOWAIT
omg its toby universe by steven fox
(what?)
The Atomic Cherry I love how no one commented back on your comment.
lmao
tobyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy its just so dang tobbby
Oh my Gog, I love this! I sit down, and decide to listen to music. I find a playlist, and I have now found one of my favorite Homestuck pieces.
Definitely one of my favorite tracks from 8. I love the deep snowy essence this gives off.
Exploring the ancient ruins I find one tablet that appears to be older than the others
Can't believe I've never commented, this is my song! It's on volume 8 and the 26th track, of which 8/26 is my birthday~
WHY MUST ICE THEMES BE SO BASS-HEAVY
examples: this song, Ice Cap from S3K, and Iceberg from KD3
this sounds like something from pokémon mystery dungons...
I love it-
Still one of my favorite songs
Every time i here a gong, a shiver goes down my spine. I am not kidding you.
7 years listening to dis and im still not tired
well a new reason to like this one
eridan is the ice king. there is no denying it.
me, who hasn't been in the fandom for 5 years: oh, what's that song in my head? is it... frostbite?
*finds the song on the first time*
aye still got it 👌 😎
ULTRAKILL Treachery Layer music sounding fire!!!
We've got one brain for three of us and i like it
Awesome music.
Awesome picture.
Awesome everything.
Just. Plain. Awesome. This deserves all the awesome in the world.
ALL OF IT.
*hears first note* yep *adds to download playlist*
Okay this is perfect ambient game music.
It reminds me very much of something I can't put my finger on.
Sounds like playstation-era racing game music... Or just breakcore in general. Toby fox seemed to really like the amen break and similar drum loops back then.
just as good as 8 years ago
It's not like music deteriorates or something
@@cube4547 true but music taste does change over time! 8 years is quite a while
I like how this reminds people of so many different game soundtracks. For me I hear Paper Mario's Ice Palace and the snowy area leading to the starkid village. Ahhh nostalgia.
DAMN YOU, YOU CANT JUST COMPARE ADVENTURE TIME WITH HOME-
Wow, you are right. It fits almost perfectly.
i didnt remember what the name of this song was but i knew it was icey related so i searched up he term "homestuck ice crystal" and it actually came up lol
Oh, hi Lynera :)
I have no idea what you're talking about but the name of that pairing is absolutely perfect and that is all
Would make for a great final area theme in an rpg
To me i imagine a 2D plataform like the newer Castlevania, in well, a ice ambient, but with some trees trying to survive in this cold, with their leaves getting caried with the wind and snow.
i liked this song SPECIALLY because the beats and the drums
The Chronicles of Narnia brought me here and I couldn't be prouder about it.
Toby fox rocks
dis is made by toby
dammit
Must... Learn... THE FLUTE PART! X3
everybody gangsta till the bite frosts back!
Thanks Toby
The synth is fucking amazing.
Frostbite sounds like a Warrior Cats character
Aaaand this reminds me of RotG, the pairing called Frostbite (Jack x Tooth).
It kind of has this sense of adventure and fun, and sounds like a bit of a kingdom. Toothiana's domain, maybe?
Doesn't this play in the Hiveswap Friendsim?
Yeah! It was repurposed for Lynera's theme.
Re purposed? Was Homestuck Volume 8 supposed to be a thing but Volume 7 happened and 7 became the end and not 8?
Or did 7 8 9?
@@ndJssFlurt i know this comment is 2 years old but wtf are you talking about?
@@eridanampora3024 yeah same im so confused rn
Beautiful artwork from tynic
And some parts are sad. That truly fits how he is. Lonely.
This is my favourite Christmas song.
Fuck off, Band Aid I want this.
I just remembered, it reminds me of Elebits.
in the beginning it sounds a lot like an animal crossing song i forgot what its called im gonna try to find it tho
its animal crossing city folk - midnight (normal)
this is so chill, i loce it so much uwu
I GUESS THATS WHY ITS CALLED FROSTBITE
Oddly nostalgic..
This song reminds me deeply of the Snow Queen from Oglaf.
I know I shouldn't make this comparison as everyone hates when someone from another fandom compares it to something they like, but the beginning reminds me of Steven Universe.
Don't worry, the similarity is so glaring that even I noticed it.
Always listen to this on the first snow of December
Everyone's just complaining about the SU fandom then im just here wondering about the cover art
Wow, this song is named after what New Englanders feel during early winter.
reminds me of the ice temple in legend of zelda Oot
@WhatsGoesHere There's menace in this song, too. Teeth you can feel, but only distantly, numbly.
This is a weird style compared to Toby's other songs. Also the lead melodies remind me of Celeste for some reason?
I believe he's talking about Rise of the Guardians. You know, that relatively recent animated movie that was... completely and utterly awesome?
this sounds like it could be the fusion music for Peridot and Amethyst and maybe Pearl too
Is the show that old already dear god
Oh shot, it does sound a bit like that one ice place in mystery dungeon 0_0
...tinged with a very miniscule hint of sorrow. Damn thing is nearly non-existent.
Friendsim used this
*Nerdgasms and rolls on the floor*
It's the chorus, I think. :V
The cover art looks like Jyggalag's realm (no that's not an SU thing don't worry)
tbh this reminds me of that ice area in sonic unleashed
I feel like this could be Kyurems theme
My legs are cold
Lynera-
Reminds me of this ouo
Yes. That is all.
This song reminds me a lot of the first phase of Andrius' boss fight from Genshin Impact for some reason. I think it's because of the overlap in how the songs portray an "icy" aesthetic - high, floaty strings/keys contrasted with a stock drumbeat and low bass throbs.
"Aesthetic" doesn't work in that sentence
toby fox making a Steven universe song????
i am seriously hoping that was a joke
it was a huge joke
I believe the pne with Froslass
* comment about how this should be Christmas music*
Because then people would have a hard time going into trickster mode and running around in circles like idiots singing the first two lines of jingle bells over and over again forever.
Also, this reminds me of Bomberman Heroes' ice world, because everyone else is saying what it reminds them of.
I love how some comments here are 12 years old 😂
@alberto11ist The whole series is based on Earthbound. o.o (It's a fact.)
THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF ELEBITS THE ADVENTURES OF KAI AND ZERO MIXED WITH POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON.
...
wow aren't I a geek?
This kind of sounds like some scores in Steven Universe!

"Chill"

+illogicalGhost I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT
is this the homestruck ost that plays in the game or something? im not very familiar with homestuck just a big fan of toby fox's music.
Nope! Homestuck is a webcomic, and unfortunately this song never made it into the comic itself. There are a ton of songs like that in the Homestuck OST, that are in the albums but never actually featured.
@@jared20089 thank you for explaining! crazy this song never made it into the official track, it’s so good!!
@@Z0Z33KY actually it's a theme of a character from Hiveswap friendsim, a homestuck-related game
Also you should read homestuck
@@Z0Z33KYConsidering the literal thousands of official musics made for HS around 95% of them aren't even used in the comic. One gets used to it TwT
Haha, yep yep! It was great!
Where have I heard this...
Which one? The one that leads to Froslass, the one before it, or the one with Articuno as the boss?
