Coming back after deltarune, it’s easy to see why Toby’s such a genius. This isn’t laziness, a leitmotif is used to creat a feeling of familiarity, it lets you subconsciously associate parts with familiarity and ***determination***, and it creates the feeling that undertale gives off. Toby’s mastered the art of the leitmotif, and that’s why he’s hailed as such a genius.
It’s makes sense that asgore’s theme has hints of heartache and determination because A. He was married to toriel and that’s he’s also a boss monster B. He’s the voice that talks to you when you die
Many people use leitmotifs. It's basically so that your brain recognizes the leitmotif (even if you don't notice it) and remembers a certain thing. That's why the Undertale OST is so powerful. And Requiem For A Dream's soundtrack does that too. Both awesome OST's.
Heartache doesn’t have ASGORE in it, but ASGORE has heartache, he still regrets his decisions that led to their split and wants to correct it and toriel doesn’t
ZoomyCorn C: Oh yeah, you're right. I was thinking of how one can get the True Pacifist after triggering something, and that the Neutral was like what you get before TP.
A while ago I came to the realisation that related characters/places often had the same leitmotifs in their songs. The funny thing was that I was always like "Why don't Asgore and Toriel have the same/similar leitmotifs?" They totally do, but I never realised it. :>
@@joje90aj17 even if they didn’t then it kind of would have made sense considering toriel wants to distance herself as much as she possibly could from asgore and she resents him for the things he did in the past.
My favorite thing ever is how the Game Over music is used by Asgore’s theme. It’s not only a plot twist when we learn that the voice we hear on the Game Over screen is Asgore’s but it’s also so badass that the “final boss” is using the game over music, like “yeah, you’re gonna die now”
i didn’t know it was asgore’s voice!!! does that imply that every time you die in a timeline, there’s an world where asgore takes your soul and breaks the barrier? at least when you die before he does ...
@@kitmacneil1867 spoilers for true pacifist route: Asgore said those words to the first human (Asriel's adopted sibling) as they are lying on their death bed.
- “Ruins” is in almost every area theme because it ties the Underground together - It’s Undyne’s main battle motif because she protects the Underground - It doesn’t play in Hotland/CORE cause Undyne can’t go there without overheating
Yeah I always liked how Undyne is kind of a dick in the pacifist/neutral routes but in the genocide route she turns into "A True Hero" and comes into her full potential against the ultimate evil only to die. The lietmotifs also lend credence to the whole, "Megalovania is the player's theme, not Sans's theme" because obviously Sans's battle theme would have the Sans lietmotif in it, like "Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans" does.
@@veggiedragon1000 Sorry for replying late but very nice comment but very less likes, you should post it in the comments of the video before anyone copies it.
It just occurred to me that the ruins leitmotif represents the monsters as a whole. Undyne fights for the people of the ruins so her themes reflect that and with don't give up that's all of the underground supporting Frisk 🥺
I like how the hopes leitmotif is spread across the entire game, so when you hear it in hopes and dreams and reunited it’s reminiscent of your entire journey.
Why does no one appreciate the Uwa!! Soundtracks? Its so simple to oversee all of them and they're nowhere else in the game. They're completely awesome

8:44 I constantly find myself humming the Undertale OST and when I start humming Dummy it will eventually transition into Spider Dance, now I know why.
Same thing here with Ghost fight and mad mew mew as well Also the GHOST leitmotif is the miniboss leitmotif, as it's in most minibosses (doggamy doggaressa, blooky, mad dummy and mew mew, and muffet) If i'm not mistaken in deltarune spamtom and jevil have some of It too
i like to think of the "Ruins" leitmotif as the "The Underground" leitmotif, as in the world the monsters live in, and it appears in Undyne's theme because she defends the underground
It’s funny seeing people complaining about “Undertale in Undertale” and “His Theme in His Theme” when it’s just showing what part of the song has the leitmotif.
There are some leitmotifs missing for instance in the genocide run: The beginning of "Battle against a true Hero" (Undyne's fight) is the melody of "Power of NEO" (Mettaton NEO)
Yeah, when you say it that way it is creepy. Asriel is still in there deep down, but his voice and crys can't be heard over the chaos and power of Omega Flowey
Here is how Toby created the Undertale soundtrack: 1. He wrote Hopes and Dreams. 2. He played it on 20 different instruments. 3. He cut it all together. 4. Done.
*oh and I saw that someone else said this but it's true amalgam doesn't REALLY have any similarities with the exemption of the barrier and before you ask your best friend has nothing to do with your best nightmare and hopes and dreams (watch Silva gunner to know what I mean)
I love how "Can You Really Call This A Hotel, I Didn't Receive A Mint On My Pillow Or Anything" is just so long that C J actually wrote half of it and then "etc"
You forgot to mention for the sans leitmotif, that “the song that might play when you fight sans” is also apart of that leitmotif. It’s so mind blowing that the song was actually created off of sans overworld theme!
Papyrus's, too. I think it was left out because while "the song that might play when you fight sans" is on the OST, it's not in the game. Though tbh it would have been funny to put it in here with a screenshot of sans's fight.

Yin Pokècherri Tell Me About It! Its hard if games actually use real life time (Shorter Than Normal Actually) To Take The Time To Do Something Random Like Increase The Difficulty Or Give A Punishment For Not Being In action Like What I and you said!
I heard some folks say that Heartache was in Asgore's theme, but I literally didn't hear it UNTIL this video. No joke. Such a depressing theme and a honestly depressing fight that I never thought to reach deep into it and find it for myself.
I never played the game, so I'd only heard it in Asgore. I had no idea it played during Toriel's fight and it hits way different with that knowledge...
can we just take a moment to appreciate the genius of how "his theme" is just sort of sprinkled into moments you feel are important but don't understand how (the statue, the empty home), only to give you the full, actual score when you learn Asriel's story, hitting you right where it hurts and making you cry? The way it's used makes you feel like at some level you already know this story, you knew this kid, even though this is the first time you hear it, because you already know his theme. Plus the fact that Asriel's story is the last missing puzzle piece you needed to make sense of why everyone you've met act the way they do. his death affected all of them on some level, and in turn, that's affected how they've treated you during your adventure and-.... I've gone off track. point is: this game had no reason to be this good but it was and still is and I can't stop thinking about it.
Undertale is a perfect example of how to cleverly use your limits to your advantage. It was mostly made by one man and it would be way too time consuming to make every single song completely original. So he used leitmotifs both as a shortcut and to connect songs to each other in a beautiful and emotional way
Bro the way I didn’t even realize half of these were leitmotifs but they were like my favourite parts of the songs 😭 This isn’t just reusing the same song over and over, this is masterfully weaving it into other songs in ways that are hardly recognizable but still familiar enough to make an impact. Toby fox is an actual genius
3 observations: 1- I never realised that The Choice is literally the undertale track slowed down 2- I guess the ruins is more the theme for monsters, or the underground as a whole, since it's used by Undyne as the true hero. 3- You got the battle the wrong way around, it's the battle which borrowed it from the dogs ;)
Ff14 did something like that for their Endwalker expansion, they used the leitmotifs of all the previous expansions in both the trailer and the final battle.
If I remember correctly, that acronym stands for: Bird That Carries You Over A Disproportionately Small Gap. I don't know if I got that right, but if I did, I'm gonna pop off.
Because I've been more into Homestuck lately, I haven't been active in the Undertale fandom for a LOOOONG while, and coming back to listen to some Undertale music just makes me wanna cry tears of joy. Wow.
I like to think of the ruins one as a sort of Mt. Ebott/monster race theme since it only appears in larger overworld areas and moments that have significance to all monsters.
this video is SO eye opening. i was aware of all the similarities between certain tracks but this really helped me notice some of the obvious leitmotifs in songs i just thought of as their own identities.
20:17 'Oh my...' is just the very beginning of Shakira's song 'Whenever, wherever' Either funny accident or obscure reference, parts of the lyrics do add on mettaton's character and him beginning to be a popstar. That Shakira song was her global breakthrough after all.
It is a well known fact, that Undertale OST is made out of just one entirely long song, that was later cut into smaller bits, and these were later cut into smaller ones that got remixed. That's what I at least assume.
Are we thinking of the same things? The main melodic motif of Your Best Nightmare (the dissonant, creepy one) doesn't play in Your Best Friend (to my knowledge).

Lol I was browsing through the comments to make no one else said it before I did and here it is 😂
The one that annoyed me was Papyrus's theme in Papyrus's main theme and also the intro to Papyrus's main theme. Yes, of course.
yes in undertale the leitmotif undertale plays in the song undertale near the end of undertale
Undertale in Undertale, within a game called Undertale.
The fact that the battle music appears in "Dogsong", "Temmie Village", and "Tem Shop" makes me think it's more of an "innocent monsters" theme
Oh man that makes genocide route so much worse
Silly monsters theme
“Face of god” theme
Now I’m imagining a band of Temmies lead by the Annoying Dog playing the ost everywhere you go.

dude its obvious
That's what a leitmotif _is_ it's so your brain recognizes that multiple things are in common, maybe not right away.
some leitmotifs dont match up like how the duck in waterfall has a theme similar to the theme in alphys’s lab which to my knowledge is unrelated
Because the duck theme is a duck Alphys and Undyne enjoyed at some point?

I mean also Wagner but he was a racist asshole so
I’m not sure if this comment thread is dead or not, but Michael Giacchino (hope I spelled that right) is pretty great too
the snore symphony is so hysterical XD
It's kind of weird that ruins starts in the...ruins, but then is way more heavily used in waterfall and with undyne specifically.
I feel like its the theme for the underground.
I love how connected waterfall/undyne and hotland/alphys are in terms of leitmotifs
Btw the ghost one has a new connection with the mad mew mew theme

Cool!
Some Leitmotifs you missed:
-The other four souls in Your Best Nightmare
-Enemy Approaching/Anticipation
That's another *5* Souls but okay
@@294Fan the comment is 4 years old, probably no chance of them replying to you
@Darkened CrazE - yeah right
@@wiowowowo actually there's also gaster's theme, which shares a minor leitmotif with every song in the ost
@@rachelo_xuxu4592 did you reply to the wrong person
undyne's leitmotif can also be found in the very end of asgore
hear for yourself and take a listen
3 observations:
1- I never realised that The Choice is literally the undertale track slowed down
2- I guess the ruins is more the theme for monsters, or the underground as a whole, since it's used by Undyne as the true hero.
3- You got the battle the wrong way around, it's the battle which borrowed it from the dogs ;)
Alphys' theme being played by Undyne is a really good small detail that is easily missable. My favorite motif of this.
"sans." is also in "Song that might play when you fight sans"
That's not even in the game files
but in official soundtrack
a part of "sans." appears in Heartache for 2 seconds
It would have been so cool if all the leitmotifs appeared in hopes and dreams
True, cause asriel had all of the monster souls and 6 human souls, so what if it’s actually there but it’s really faint?
Ff14 did something like that for their Endwalker expansion, they used the leitmotifs of all the previous expansions in both the trailer and the final battle.
This may sound like a stretch, but IF one were to speed up "Your Best Friend", it would create a melody simliar to the F.U.N song from spongebob. '-'
Slow it down by 600 instead m8

Glad I’m not the only one to notice Alphys in BTCYOADSG. I wonder how that bird came to be so determined...
I was so confused with the acronym until you mentioned a bird
That is indeed a long, long acronym.
If I remember correctly, that acronym stands for: Bird That Carries You Over A Disproportionately Small Gap.
I don't know if I got that right, but if I did, I'm gonna pop off.

Saaaaame💕💕
Because I've been more into Homestuck lately, I haven't been active in the Undertale fandom for a LOOOONG while, and coming back to listen to some Undertale music just makes me wanna cry tears of joy. Wow.
nostalgia B)
"His theme" is such an emotional tune/song
I veryyyyy much agree
So if His Theme is in Undertale...
Does that mean every version of Undertale has His Theme?
0-0
Someone help me
...........AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!? Toby Fox, this is a TRUE MASTERPIECE!
no, as an unused version of Undertale uses the last part of Once Upon A Time instead
Omg
5 years late but by “Undertale”, they mean the SONG UNDERTALE, not the actual game!!
@@TrulySomeoneits a joke
I like to think of the ruins one as a sort of Mt. Ebott/monster race theme since it only appears in larger overworld areas and moments that have significance to all monsters.
Why is it that so often this game's music & story fill me with melancholy
You got "NGAHHH!!" and "Spear of Justice" backwards, though I don't blame you. They're not exactly polar opposite songs...
This game is such a masterpiece. The music is a big contributor to that.
The humor, dialogue, needed skills, and animations also count.
If you take the first two notes out of the beginning line of Megalovania, it's the exact same thing as the first line of Dogsong.
***** Yeah, I found this out on accident. xD
***** :D
***** Exactly. Pretty sure Toby did that just to troll us.
+trashyalphys AHHHHHHH WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TOBY!?
Joshua Kyle Isidro I know! I flipped my shit when I figured out!
yall say its lazy but theres no denying that the OST for this game absolutely slaps
this video is SO eye opening. i was aware of all the similarities between certain tracks but this really helped me notice some of the obvious leitmotifs in songs i just thought of as their own identities.
I remember when I first heard Hopes in Dating Start, on my second playthrough. Surprised me so hard I choked on my drink.
"Sans in sans."
"His Theme in His Theme"
"Heartache in Heartache"
"Undertale in Undertale"
it's a leitmotifception
NO SHIT SHERLOCK
"Leitmotif undertale in undertale"
Yep , i wasnt sure of this but you confirm all my suspicions
I have to say, I love how toby creates two songs, remixes them a million times and they don't even sound similiar. The guy has mad talent.
Me Before playing Undertale: “His theme sounds sweet”
Me after: *cried every time it’s heard*
Something I noticed was that Bergentruckung was ALSO an Undertale leitmotif, making ASGORE have it too by extension.
his theme in finale has gotta be one of the sneakiest ones
My mind was effing blown when I finally made that connection
With all the deltarune stuff, I forgot how much of a masterpiece undertale is.
The fact that but nobody came sped up is floweys theme is terrifying plus the fact it sounds echoed in a small place
Toby made less than 10 tracks, and just remixed them. :)
Still, we haven't solved the mystery to whether Toby is lazy, or just an insane genius.
Asriel Dreemurr obisisly a guinues
Alex Da Gr8 I guess we can both relate.
Who am I
He’s a genius
Actually 9 tracks, Megalovania was used 3 times before undertale
There's both hope and despair motifs. 10/10.
Toby is a Musical Genius!!!!!!!
or lazy...
both
+Lone Wanderer
I'm going for lazy, after hearing this.
+Lone Wanderer genius. he does these leitmotif's for a a reason.
He's Musical Genius of Lazyness!
+Михаил Малышенко correction:Laziness
I love the style of this video holy crap
20:17 'Oh my...' is just the very beginning of Shakira's song 'Whenever, wherever'
Either funny accident or obscure reference, parts of the lyrics do add on mettaton's character and him beginning to be a popstar. That Shakira song was her global breakthrough after all.
*Casually watching this in 2021 despite the fact that I've already known about all of these for like 5 years*
same except it's 2022
same except it's 2023
Same but is 2024
I think Bergentruckung has undertale in it. Just listen.
That theme also has ASGORE, and Heartache in it.
ASGORE also has Undyne right at the end, I believe.
I finally found somebody who knows its not Spear of Justice.
i heard it
More like His Theme.
It is a well known fact, that Undertale OST is made out of just one entirely long song, that was later cut into smaller bits, and these were later cut into smaller ones that got remixed.
That's what I at least assume.
+Elwis From Poland Megalovania
Ginger Show Yeah, except maybe that one.
Elwis From Poland btw most of the soundtrack has Undertale in it.
its all made out of 9 songs.
"it is a well known fact" ..... "thats what I atleast assume"???????
Your Best Friend and Your Best Nightmare are the same leitmotif, as has been pointed out. Therefore, there's at least one more connection to be made.
+jtheyellow oh, I didn't realise. do you have a video that demonstrates that?
That's obvious tho
Are we thinking of the same things? The main melodic motif of Your Best Nightmare (the dissonant, creepy one) doesn't play in Your Best Friend (to my knowledge).
+Circle Journey who are you replying to?
both, I suppose. I'm trying to figure out where the connection is (or what you define as one), and you both seem to know.
Fun fact: the but “nobody came..” soundtrack is called “too_much” in the game files. So technically the most official name for it is Too Much.
Imagine how different the undertale sound track would be if Toby didn’t come up with that one undertale melody lmao
where's bring it in guys!? it would add like 30 mins to this vid but
Undertale in UNDERTALE, Sans. in Sans. And His Theme in his Theme.....
REALLY, SHERLOCK BONES????
@GamingOuttageReborn the fandom’s 5 million au’s be like
Leitmotif Papyrus is too in Song That Might Play When Fight Sans
The desc says they aren't using songs that are not in the actual game.
Heartache is in Heartache
Wow!
Never would have known
Shannon Deonier seems legit
i can feast once more DOUBLE HEARTACHE MEANS TWICE THE PAIN!!
You can also heat the leitmotif heartache (part 1) in Asriel's fight, after he transforms, befor the part when you have to save everyone
