@@erickamakeeaina1649 I agree with you. A self portrait is a representation of a person made by the person. Wouldn’t make sense for the line to be referring to other’s perceptions.
I literally typed in "Cinder's Song" and was greeted with this as like the 4th option and clicked cuz I know this is Casey's Band and to my surprise, it really was the song from the episode
Idk of its really fair to call ok goodnight her band, they guys in the band done some amazing stuff aswell. Also my understanding is they had done some of the songs on there first album before cassy offered to do vocals for them. I'm not trying to put cassy don't as she's probably my favourite sininger but she should get all the credit for what is a collaborative effort.
"You were right. Without you I *am* nothing... But now thanks to you, I am *everything"* I have a feeling this isn't the last time we'll hear this line. Watch out, Salem. All along, the biggest threat to your master plan was the soul-stealing arm that you yourself created.
In this case defeat me control me as she can't be destroyed short of power levels of the Brother Gods or higher. And as they made everything in Remnant nothing in Remnant can defeat their will. (as it was created on an old world something buried that could do it possible plot line) @@Funnylizardman
Wow. I had no idea rwby ever used songs outside their own ost. Well at least that means I don’t have to wait for the volume 8 soundtrack to come out to download this one....wanted to download it since episode 6....
I love Ok Goodnight. Bought this album on release day. Since this is the first 'outside' song to appear in RWBY I was SO unprepared for it. I was like "Why do I recognize this song? I shouldn't recognize what should be a new song." Then it registered and I was so excited! I couldn't believe it. I hope you check out both of their albums! They're great. My favorite song is "Unraveled".
@@williamblackmon9136 thats exactly what happened to me. I was like "where do I remember this progression from? OH SHIT." I literally had to pause the video because I was so excited
@@williamblackmon9136 I actually saw this comment shortly after the episode came out, about the time we became friends lol. But I didn't know this was you lol.
I listen to Ok Goodnight religiously. You have no idea how fast I jumped up when I heard Awake. I started jumping around and saying "Holy fuck, holy fuck no way!"
I listen to all rwby tracks still haven’t search Casey lol no idea what she look like but, I love her music. Also 3:58- 4:26is the only part I came for this song. I kinda thought the whole song was gonna be in that tune. I still love it but that part hits my heart I only listen to that section lmao
I've been looking for this song ever since watching Cinder fight, it just drew me in, it was so beautiful, I can't help but listen to this song over and over again
Seeing Casey and her band evolve is great to watch, I was always kind of worried her music would be trapped in RWBY, and while I know this song was in it, it came before it.
Agreed. If it had a more intense chorus section somewhere, or if the part from the episode was longer, i could see that part being an S rank play for Lady or Trish as a dmc5 dlc while the rest of the song picks parts for lower ranks.
You're not supposed to feel bad for her, you're just supposed to understand what went wrong. Just because an origin is sympathetic doesn't mean what follows is supposed to be.
She is I saw that when Cinder got Trained to be a Huntress like Ruby which is why I think when we Actually get the Ruby v Cinder She'll open up to Ruby about It
Am I the only one who thinks that this song sticks out like a sore thumb? It vastly overshadows the rest of the album. I think this song is fucking amazing, but it's jarring compared to the rest. You can feel the difference between the songs made specifically for RWBY and this.
I find it interesting how when the vocals come the song skyrockets. I was just comparing it to Bury the Light, and the moment the singing started I was sure I prefered this one, despite the instrumental not being as good.
I have theory that cinder will be the final villain in this series she will do the same to her stepmom.. Its either salem will be redeemed after she may realize the importance between life and death or she will be destroyed by cinder
I completely agree. I've been theorising this pretty much since Volume 6, Chapter 3. Both Salem AND Cinder are the main antagonists of RWBY; either one of them could be the final villain of the series as a whole.
@@quinsif6483 Well, unless Ruby or Cinder defeats Salem by force, or something, there isn't really any other path for Salem. The God of Light said that they would only allow Salem to die if she learnt the importance of life and death, which is most likely what she's going to do -- she'll be redeemed, learn the error of her ways and understand the important lesson that the Gods were trying to teach her, and then she'll die alongside the spirit of Ozma. That's probably how Salem's story will go. Of course, with that comes the potential for Cinder to take over as the sole main villain, rather than sharing the role with Salem. Cinder's motivations are quite a deal more complex than Salem's, and thus Cinder may be a lot harder for Ruby and the heroes to try convincing.
I'd say since volume 6 we've been going up in quality again. 5 was a downgrade for sure, but since then I think they've majorly course corrected. There's still problems but that's just RWBY. It's flawed for sure but I think currently they're in a pretty damn good place with the show. Some of the biggest lore drops in the show are sprinkled into volume 6. This volume (8) has been pretty consistently intense. I'd recommend giving it another shot, the volumes aren't that long!
Indeed. On that subject Cinder's name is actually interesting for another reason. In the oldest tellings of that story, her name was actually just "Ella". But as she cleaned out places full of soot and other things like that she was called "Cinder Ella" by her sisters. It seems in this, her step mother just cut out the middle bit and just decided to name her after the soot she cleaned.
Minor RWBY spoilers!….I can’t wait for Jaune to finally go toe to toe with Cinder and hopefully win. He got stomped the first time, actually put up somewhat of a fight the second time but his sword was broken. Really hope Cinder’s destiny is to finally fall to Jaune. Also his story is really interesting because it could mirror Salem’s. Imagine the end of the series comes and he has the option to revive Pyrrha when the gods return. Would he make the right choice? Man I can’t wait for season 9!!!!!
Or, you know, you could realize that ppl might be talking about spoilers in these very public comments and YOU should be careful and not read them instead of blaming others for not warning you. As someone who doesn't like seeing spoilers I take care to not read stuff when something new comes out that I haven't seen and I won't go around blaming others. Unless someone literally runs up to you and screams it in your face cuz there isn't much you can do about that.

Quick question. Where did she say that?
But how does this relate to Cinder's character 🤔?
@@rawankray2001 not really her but the fight scene in her backstory
"respect them for who they make you"
Naw bud, she's pretty fuckin' violent.
it did have an entire section talking about how sweet and violent fire is. how many other characters have anything to do with fire
Cinder: “I don’t have to run anymore.”
Rhodes: “....That’s all you’ll ever do.”
Yeah, it's kinda his fault that Cinder ended up like that tho

"My Self-Portrait Suicide" Cinder killing the image the world has of her as someone weak
I think its more that Cinder is trying to Be anyone but herself. She emulates and tries to be like the people in her life who are powerful
@@erickamakeeaina1649 I agree with you. A self portrait is a representation of a person made by the person. Wouldn’t make sense for the line to be referring to other’s perceptions.
"Take my hand, then take my life"
Cinder lost her hand 😲
ahhhhhhhhh
So is this foreshadowing that she's going to die in this volume?
@@MrCAXA-tq1yc Or she'll lose her life some other way (like being grimmified)
@@anonymousgamer5771 That would be very poetic considering her backstory.
My prediction is the Grimm hand will take over cinders whole body by the end of the volume. We know it’s slowly taking over her shoulder
Some people have demons. Other people became those demons.
Your second statement applies to Cinder very well.
You're right! Without you I am nothing!... But BECAUSE of you, I am everything!!
"But because of you, I am Everything!"
hey maybe cinder couldn't think of a good comeback in time
I see you have edited your comment. Sorry. 😆😅

"You were right. Without you I *am* nothing... But now thanks to you, I am *everything"*

Watch out, Salem. All along, the biggest threat to your master plan was the soul-stealing arm that you yourself created.
“You still call yourself a God, Raidriar? You really think I would create a weapon that can destroy me?”
- The Worker of Secrets, Infinity Blade 3
If Ozma is right (and I'm not sure he is) Salem *wants* to be destroyed. So the answer is yes.

Casey is just such a good singer, I'm kinda jealous Lol, but she really is fantastic lol
This song is so rocking yet, oddly Somber, particularly at 4:26
So fitting for Cinder
No joke, I got an ad for "Juniper Networks" on this video. The Algorithm doesn't know what to do with JNPR....
My internet provider: team JNPR, were still working and thats okey
3:36 I love editing details like that. Thanks for this video!
I haven’t listened to Casey’s band that much so I didn’t know that this song was theirs! Thank you so much for uploading this
I found out that one of the songs was from their band, but I didn't find out it was a repurposed song until later

*Period.*
Casey: Now I'm AWAKE
Me: Ok, goodnight- OH MY OUM
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODD!!!!!!
You know its kinda absurd how well this song meshed with Cinder
Cinder basically evil version of Ruby.
I think in your theory
@@matteomiriello1661 No, my dear.
Ruby basically a good version of Bete Noire.
I didn't want to just copy/paste a third of it, but Persona's "Yin & Yang" song now reminds me of Ruby/Cinder
In the manner of that both really need development?
Seeing Casey and her band evolve is great to watch, I was always kind of worried her music would be trapped in RWBY, and while I know this song was in it, it came before it.
This song fits SO WELL with Cinder
That ending...gods that was powerful...
3:55 Cinder vs Rhodes, epic yet heartbreaking
This is basically an evil version of Let It Go.
I dunno why, but I'm getting DMC vibes from this track.
Agreed. If it had a more intense chorus section somewhere, or if the part from the episode was longer, i could see that part being an S rank play for Lady or Trish as a dmc5 dlc while the rest of the song picks parts for lower ranks.

When i first saw her back story i was like am i supposed to feel bad for. After what she has done.
In any case, it's to help you understand why Cinder is the way she is
You're not supposed to feel bad for her, you're just supposed to understand what went wrong. Just because an origin is sympathetic doesn't mean what follows is supposed to be.
In some ways, it reminds me of Infinite's theme song from Sonic Forces
Honestly speaking, (IMO) this was the best song on the album, I can't stop listening to it!
Cinder fall is Ruby who follow the darkness!! Right?
Actually just a muderous Cinderella 👀
