I love you guys to death, and so does my dad. Thank you for these super musically in-depth analyses, it is so redeeming to hear you talk through all of the details of these tunes that show my dad's hard work, writing skills, and constant musical innovations (sorry, I can't help but gush about him). Also, to answer that last question you had, the scores are (from my knowledge) always written and composed AFTER my dad and/or Alex have received rough animations including sound effects/choreography. Much love, look forward to more of your reviews.
@Casey Lee I am sure you and your Dad get it all the time but it can never be enough with just how amazing both of you are, but I would like to say I think you both are quite spectacular.
I think one of the things that moves you (and your dad) from being 'one of my favorite artists' to 'my favorite artists' is that you're not just an artist who has fans in a community, you're part of the community in an honest (and sometimes vulnerable) way. The fact that you openly watch and interact with this community means the world to me
Casey Lee, Thank you so much for your kind words. It means the world that you & Jeff enjoy our content. We’re glad to experience y’all’s art. ...also I wanna sing with you & Jeff sometime before I die. That’s a bucket list item now 😂😁
Matthew is one of the most expressive rwby reactors ive seen in a while when it comes to soundtrack. The facial expressions when he hears something nice is honestly one of the most entertaining things I've seen from a reaction channel in a good bit.
Hey all hope you enjoy.. here’s the time stamps: 6:11 - Let’s Just Live 16:46 - Like Morning Follows Night 30:30 Bad Luck Charm 39:38 - This Life Is Mine 54:24 - Home 1:07:34 - Armed and Ready 1:17:23 - Lusus Naturae 1:29:37 - Bmblb 1:37:48 - Boop (Acoustic) 1:46:04 - Ruby vs. the Beringel (score)
Excellent video as always. if you are looking for more Rwby songs to react to, Caleb hyles does some vocal covers for Rwby songs. First one that he made was 'Time to Say Goodbye', second was 'Home', third was 'This Life is Mine', fourth was 'This Will be the Day', and fifth and most recent is 'Red Like Roses (Full Cover)' Edit: if nothing else, just react to 'Red Like Roses'. There is an excellent surprise in it that you'll enjoy.
Lamar Hall does sing in the background sometimes but usually it's Jeff. I just can't wait for y'all reaction to Vol. 6 cuz Casey just goes crazy in certain songs, her vocal ranges can be whatever the hell it wants to be 'cause she can match with Jeff! And my dear Alex Abraham, the overall composer, gets no love but is just as God tier Also, how did miss you guys? I'm usually on top of people who react to RWBY in general but especially the OSTs. Anyways, I'm glad to have found more musicians and a new channel
Lusus Naturae is Dr. Merlot's theme song, but you would have to play the video game RWBY: Grimm Eclipse to know who he is and it's one of the main reasons it's not very popular. I don't know even all of you know this but by the way the game is canon and took place in between Volume 2 and volume 3.
Lusus Naturae is less well known and under appreciated because it doesn't come from the show, but instead from the game RWBY: Grimm Eclipse. It's the theme song for the bad guy, Dr. Merlot, who mutates and experiments on the Grimm, wanting to create them in to a weapon for him to use. Also, if you play back episode 1 of volume 4 when you see the Grimm spawning from the black pools, you can hear it in the background.
It's interesting seeing you guys talk about these songs, especially because most reviewers are more what I'd call writers or at least narrative-focused so there's much more trying to pull out the story from the song, but you guys tend to focus on Jeff and Casey's progress or just their technical skill in general.
yeah .. it's different for us when listening to some things because it's like we are hearing the story get augmented by the musical choices that Jeff, Casey, and Alex use... We listen to the songs for enjoyment but we appreciate the little details and decisions that were made on a music theory level to give it that certain sound.
@@SirsMadamsEntertainment and in general being involved with music like you guys are you know exactly how stupid impressive Jeff is especially. Like as someone who just listens to music casually I knew RWBY songs were good, but I didn't have an appreciation for how much skill went into it.
Like Morning Follows Night is my favorite song on here just because the lyrics are so powerful. Not just storywise, they ring all too true in real life as well. Bad luck charm is a close second though.
This Life is Mine is the only song in the whole RWBY soundtrack to make me cry. Not even Cold could do what This Life is Mine did. It hit all the right notes for me.
"And there's probably certain instances where there's music that's already been written before and they want to add it into this particular thing..." Definitely. Most recent example that comes to mind is Volume 6; the scores for Brunswick Farms.
I think what I love about you guys most is you dont just react to the music and lyrics, but deconstruct it and break it down and musicians. I love the in depth way you react to these. keep them up.
I really didn't expect this to drop so soon! Morning follows night, bad luck charm, and This Life is Mine are some of my favorites!!! Spoiler Smile is probably my favorite song from RWBY though.
As far as I can recall, Lusus Naturae is the first song that Jeff has done for RWBY that isn't linked to the series but to one of the video games (Grimm Eclipse). It's the anthem of that game's antagonist.
That’s probably why so many people just dismiss the song, because it doesn’t technically connect to the series. The only reason it’s in the v4 soundtrack is because they use part of it as a leitmotif for the Nuckelavee
Lets just live's bridge at the last part is godly Like morning follows night is okay but the rap is kind of ehhhh Bad luck charm is my second favorite jeff solo song the first is for a later volume Home is a pretty good slow song Armed and ready is pretty good funfact apparently it was caseys most vocaly demanding song now theres a new more vocaly demanding song also can't wait for the acoustic reaction in v6 Lusus nutarea is a bit weird to listen to without context of the grimm eclipse game which this song is based off Bmblb well love or hate the ship you gotta admit that song is a bop Boop acoustic is well just very cute
So much Yes. For myself as a non musician, you provide vocabulary for why I love the songs beyond my own "yeah, they're real good." Stuff to learn. Also, you keep drawing my ear to small things that maybe I heard, but wasn't able to isolate until you've mentioned them. Then it's "oh wow, that sounds great". Looking forward to more. (c:
44:19 Matthew is literally me. I'm currently binging all these rwby soundtrack analyses and me and Matthew seem to have so much in common with the sounds we like. All you guys are awesome!
@@SirsMadamsEntertainment I can also see that. I know it's not important to the current story but I wish they would have explored the whole Yang raising Ruby while also takeing care of Tai moments more; but hey that's what fan fics are for.
Can't tell you how much I enjoy your OST reviews! I look forward to them as much as the episode reviews. Hearing the dissection (in a good way!) of the songs by musicians gives the OST a whole new meaning. Can't wait for the next one!
I just want to mention that I love that you recognize Alex work in the score of the series, he does a marvelous job at capturing the soul of Jeff and Caseys songs. And as always, you just make me appreciate this series soooo much more. Keep it up!!
I love your reviews of theRWBY OSTs. Hearing the composition details brought out from music professionals is a real treat. You'll be my go-to guys for OST reviews and I also enjoy your episode reactions as well. PS. This Life is Mine is one of my fave RWBY tracks. Also Gustav ruined Home track for me with that "Nationwide is on your side" LOL 😂
So great to see you guys talking about some of the score too! I hope you do more of that in the future :D Also it's awesome to see that my videos are getting some use :D
Yeah that Armed and Ready vid sounds really good and clear.. it’s was perfect and great quality!! We made sure to put the link to it in the description. 👍🏻
Matthew, if/when you learn how to sing Home, I would love if you could post some kind of video or clip of you performing it! I think it would pretty awesome to see your take on one of my favorite slower RWBY songs.
YES! I was waiting from the beginning for you guys to reach the Vol 4 OST, it's tied with Vol 2 for my favourite RWBY OST if not favourite set of songs for any show I've seen.
Casey said while talking about BMBLB that it had nothing to do with the volume, but Jeff wanted to write a love song so he chose the Bumblebee ship to write it about. And it Bops.
Yesss it's 11pm and I'm just now starting the video, but let's gooo! After having re-listened to the vol 4 ost recently and remebering which songs are on it, I've been so hyped for the reaction. Just got through the Let's Just Live reaction. The bridge/harmony section following is one of my favorite moments in a rwby song, wow. Now on to the rest! Also I went back and read the comments from Jeff on the other reactions; it's so cool that he watched them!!
Just got to Bad Luck Charm and the intro to that has always given me this weird nostalgia of like when you're on the menu screen of a DVD. It makes me think of the type of music that'd be looping as various clips from the movie play in the background while you wait to hit play. I just needed say that to see if anyone knows what I mean or if I'm just making a weird connection lol Also I scrolled up from this typing this to see Matthew pouting at Jeff's high notes, can't wait for Lusus Naturae XD Edit: I was not disappointed lol
In regards to Sterling's comment about th BMBLB song, Jeff published an App called 8 track that breaks out the tracks, so one could remove the base line for instance and then record it with your own.
In regards to RWBY music matching the visuals, I think what I heard was that Monty animated to music, making the animated fights more dance like. I imagine if Monty was listening to a song in a particular time and beats/sec to made it easier for the composer to make music that matches the action if for example all the big movements happened on a downbeat or something. I don't think he animated to the songs that are used in the finished product though. I doubt with the bigger animation pipeline that RT has now, that this still happens.
As a BumbleBY shipper myself (it's my second ship, first is White Rose), I always felt that on the most part, BMBLB was a fan service song, similar to Boop originally was. With Volume 7 continuing to hint towards it, perhaps it'll shift to being canon, just like Boop.
I thought the official reason that was given is it was written to apologize for the soundtrack being delayed. At least that's the story I remember going around...
I'd forgotten that Goldenthal's Interview was a replacement score (replacing George Fenton, BTW). My go-to when discussing replacement scores has always been Jerry Goldsmith's score to Chinatown, which took a mere 10 days to spot, compose and record.
Fun fact, if you didn't already know: the name of Qrow's weapon is HARBINGER. I really love the poetry in the names they came up with, for everything, weapons, people, locations, whether they are (smaller or bigger) references or not.
Ah I come back here way too many times, what I like about Armed and Ready is the part around strawberry sunrise the "god damn it" part is because Yang's VA likes to say puns as well making it so her co-workers say "god damn it"
I think Lusus Naturae really ties in really strongly with the RWBY game, Grimm Eclipse, which is a hit or miss with most people. It was really big for like the month it was released and literally no one talks about it anymore (because it's really short, and tbh doesn't have much content). The song strongly reflects the game's antagonist, who only shows up in the game, which explains why a lot of people don't really pay attention to him and the song.
Another score I think you guys should take a listen to, especially if you're piano fans is Chapter 6 Tipping Point Pt. 2. It's so good! It's a piano arrangement of "It's My Turn" from V3. Since it was played at the Schnee Party, it has jazzy elements to it that you guys would love. Highly recommend you check it out. I love it so much that I actually paid someone $115 to transcribe it for me since I'm not the greatest at playing by ear. I'm decent but nowhere near enough to play a piece like this. It's completely spot on and I'm pretty happy that I have it. It's not the easiest piece to learn for sure, but I'm getting there. ;)
Im not sure if anyone else has linked this yet.. If you guys are curious, Arnold (MurderOfBirds) did a casual Q&A type interview with Jeff back in 2017. You can hear his speaking voice there! ua-cam.com/video/SD9RrQ18jqo/v-deo.html , interview starts at the 2:30 mark.
Ok here's the ages of team RWBY Ruby Rose in vol 1-3 15, vol 4-5 16, and Vol 6-8 17, Weiss is 17 during vol 1-3, 18 in volumes 4 and 5 and 19 in vol 6-8, the same is for blake and yang
Your mentioning of Xzibit and rap breakdowns couldn't help but remind me of the one he performed during the second verse of that one Within Temptation song "And We Run." It was real weird, but somehow it worked for me.
I think the person you were talking to about the order of score/film was mixing things up a little. While they don't record the music and then animate to it, Monty was known for animating his fights around certain songs that he was listening to at the time - thats always been a talking point about why people think his animation is so widely liked. As usual that may have gotten telephoned around into some people thinking that the show is animated to the score.
Matthew, I respect you and all but the word is Gamut, not Gambit. _To “run a gamut” is to go through the whole scale or spectrum of something. A gambit is a play in chess, and by extension, a tricky maneuver of any kind._ Vocal gamut - whole vocal range.
Thank you again for the two hours of entertainment you have provided. I loved it and I am looking forward for your Volume 5 and 6 videos. If I may suggest something that I think you'd like - a cover of "This Life Is Mine" done by a guy called Caleb Hyles. All I have to say about it is I wouldn't recommend a RWBY cover if it wasn't perfect. Have a wonderful day!
weiss's songs are my favorite. her home life was very simmilar to mine minus the money. i love how this song is a "fuck you" to her father and she sung it in front of him at a sold out concert
You guys plan on doing song reviews other than RWBY? it would be awesome to se you guys thoughts on music from Killer Instinct and Bloodborne. Sorry for the terrible english not my native language.
Oh my god, it took me until 1:20:28 to realise lusus naturae was from the perspective of Watts... Short explanation: This is the first soundtrack i did not hear before, and i am not a musician so although i try to listen, i am more interested in the lyrics side. Edit: Nice steering through those cliffs xD (1:28:30)
random info-bits (if you don't already know) 1) the underrated song was from the rwby-video game rooster teeth made 2) from what I heared the team attack names are the names the community came up with for all the possible ships and RT used that ship-names for the corresponding team attacks - and heared a lot of discussions about this song is yang about her bike or just something to tease everyone who likes that ship - btt: can ship-names be copyrighted?! (...) mfg Olli
The biggest issue with Lusus Naturae is that the vol 4 soundtrack is just so incredible overall. I love LN, but there're SO many good songs on the OST that it's like #3 for me. Bmblb is spelled that way because A) that's the ship name and b) that's the ship name because it's a RWBY thing, the same way the fandom is called the FNDM. It's related to the way the teams are named. I'm sad you didn't do the Sacrifice remix. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on something that was so electronic and industrial.
I know you guys haven't really done any covers that aren't featured on soundtracks, but even offline, you guys may enjoy Caleb Hyles! He has done a couple RWBY covers, just recently releasing a Red Like Roses Full version (part 1 and 2 together), featuring a special guest that you're familiar with! Just thought I would share another musician who enjoys RWBY! Link to the Red Like Roses cover: ua-cam.com/video/luk4YSHoQxY/v-deo.html
I love you guys to death, and so does my dad. Thank you for these super musically in-depth analyses, it is so redeeming to hear you talk through all of the details of these tunes that show my dad's hard work, writing skills, and constant musical innovations (sorry, I can't help but gush about him).

Much love, look forward to more of your reviews.
Holy shit. Didnt expect to see you here Casey. You and you'r dad are amazing
@Casey Lee
I am sure you and your Dad get it all the time but it can never be enough with just how amazing both of you are, but I would like to say I think you both are quite spectacular.

*high-five* Casey; also -- Love the new hair-do!!
In the first 2 choruses of Let's Just Live", the line "move onward not there yet" spells out Monty's name.
Awe I never caught that. That's really sweet
I'm not crying you're crying 😭
We still miss you Monty..
That combined with the slow section of the song gives us 2 references to Monty
This Life Is Mine is a masterpiece
Still my favorite RWBY song to this day. And there are a LOT of good RWBY songs.
Agreed. Never have I heard a song from this series top This Life is Mine. It's just... perfect.
Matthew is one of the most expressive rwby reactors ive seen in a while when it comes to soundtrack. The facial expressions when he hears something nice is honestly one of the most entertaining things I've seen from a reaction channel in a good bit.
That's why I watch this 50 times at 10:26 PM ;v;
The most tragic thing to happen to Yang.
She never got that damn strawberry sunrise.
Hey all hope you enjoy.. here’s the time stamps:
6:11 - Let’s Just Live
16:46 - Like Morning Follows Night
30:30 Bad Luck Charm
39:38 - This Life Is Mine
54:24 - Home

1:17:23 - Lusus Naturae
1:29:37 - Bmblb 1:37:48 - Boop (Acoustic)

Excellent video as always. if you are looking for more Rwby songs to react to, Caleb hyles does some vocal covers for Rwby songs.
First one that he made was 'Time to Say Goodbye', second was 'Home', third was 'This Life is Mine', fourth was 'This Will be the Day', and fifth and most recent is 'Red Like Roses (Full Cover)'

Yo Jeff tears it up (vocally) in Lionized in Volume 6 in my opinion
Lusus Naturae is Dr. Merlot's theme song, but you would have to play the video game RWBY: Grimm Eclipse to know who he is and it's one of the main reasons it's not very popular. I don't know even all of you know this but by the way the game is canon and took place in between Volume 2 and volume 3.
It's also used as the Grimm's theme in the show.
We get the Lusus Naturae melody alongside Salem later on, so at this point it's clearly meant to be for both. It's just MORE for Merlot.
OK didn't expected 2 vids in 1 day
I like it
Lusus Naturae is less well known and under appreciated because it doesn't come from the show, but instead from the game RWBY: Grimm Eclipse. It's the theme song for the bad guy, Dr. Merlot, who mutates and experiments on the Grimm, wanting to create them in to a weapon for him to use.

@@raulvalencia8573 whoops
I've been waiting for this for so long. This Life is Mine is my all-time favorite RWBY song.
wiseguy149, Yeah, that song is the most ‘Ruby’ of all the intros.
I was mine too. But since Indomitable came out it's fallen to a close second.
SaviorOfNirn, of course, that’s totally what I said, ignore what I wrote and know what I meant. ;)
Actually just rewrote that song for myself to make it fit my experiences. I'm surprised that I didn't actively butcher it lolz
This Life is Mine is still my favorite RWBY song from any volume.
Lusus Natrae (Latin for Freak of Nature) is in my top three favorite RWBY songs right after Sacrifice and Divide.
Just the evil songs? I mean, my top includes Divine and Lusus Naturae, so...rsrsrsrsrs
Bmblb is named the way it is because of the show name and team names in the show being vowelless.

Home is a pretty good slow song
Armed and ready is pretty good funfact apparently it was caseys most vocaly demanding song now theres a new more vocaly demanding song also can't wait for the acoustic reaction in v6
Lusus nutarea is a bit weird to listen to without context of the grimm eclipse game which this song is based off
Bmblb well love or hate the ship you gotta admit that song is a bop
Boop acoustic is well just very cute
So much Yes. For myself as a non musician, you provide vocabulary for why I love the songs beyond my own "yeah, they're real good." Stuff to learn.

Home is probably my favorite song in all of RWBY. to me, its as if Summer Rose is singing a lullaby to Ruby and Yang before she was gone.
Lusus Naturae was added in to the Volume 4 Soundtrack. The song started off as the ending song to the video game RWBY: Grimm Eclipse.
This was the best ost imo. So many straight bangers. Though my favorite song is in vol 5 and my third favorite is in vol 6.
Oh that piano got real all right. This Life is Mine is my favourite song in this soundtrack :D
I can't wait until you guys get to the acoustic version of Armed and Ready in V6. Its amazing, I can't unheard it over this song
robert watson it’s Gustav’s fav tune actually... lol.
1:28:00 "Bruce waffles for like five minutes trying to dance around the whole Bumbleby thing"

I imagine if Monty was listening to a song in a particular time and beats/sec to made it easier for the composer to make music that matches the action if for example all the big movements happened on a downbeat or something. I don't think he animated to the songs that are used in the finished product though. I doubt with the bigger animation pipeline that RT has now, that this still happens.
As a BumbleBY shipper myself (it's my second ship, first is White Rose), I always felt that on the most part, BMBLB was a fan service song, similar to Boop originally was. With Volume 7 continuing to hint towards it, perhaps it'll shift to being canon, just like Boop.
I thought the official reason that was given is it was written to apologize for the soundtrack being delayed. At least that's the story I remember going around...
Great OST! Great Sonata Arctica shirt! So much awesome in one place!
I'd forgotten that Goldenthal's Interview was a replacement score (replacing George Fenton, BTW). My go-to when discussing replacement scores has always been Jerry Goldsmith's score to Chinatown, which took a mere 10 days to spot, compose and record.
Fun fact, if you didn't already know: the name of Qrow's weapon is HARBINGER. I really love the poetry in the names they came up with, for everything, weapons, people, locations, whether they are (smaller or bigger) references or not.
IF You Loved Lamar (Hall).Wait until Vol 5&6 love the reaction.
Uploaded on my birthday. This was the only gift I received that day, but it would have been the best regardless ^~^
Well OST 5 drops tomorrow ... so you don’t have long to wait for a new one 👍🏻
*Squeals* YESSSSSSSS
Ah I come back here way too many times, what I like about Armed and Ready is the part around strawberry sunrise the "god damn it" part is because Yang's VA likes to say puns as well making it so her co-workers say "god damn it"
I think Lusus Naturae really ties in really strongly with the RWBY game, Grimm Eclipse, which is a hit or miss with most people. It was really big for like the month it was released and literally no one talks about it anymore (because it's really short, and tbh doesn't have much content). The song strongly reflects the game's antagonist, who only shows up in the game, which explains why a lot of people don't really pay attention to him and the song.
Another score I think you guys should take a listen to, especially if you're piano fans is Chapter 6 Tipping Point Pt. 2. It's so good! It's a piano arrangement of "It's My Turn" from V3. Since it was played at the Schnee Party, it has jazzy elements to it that you guys would love. Highly recommend you check it out. I love it so much that I actually paid someone $115 to transcribe it for me since I'm not the greatest at playing by ear. I'm decent but nowhere near enough to play a piece like this. It's completely spot on and I'm pretty happy that I have it. It's not the easiest piece to learn for sure, but I'm getting there. ;)
Im not sure if anyone else has linked this yet.. If you guys are curious, Arnold (MurderOfBirds) did a casual Q&A type interview with Jeff back in 2017. You can hear his speaking voice there!
ua-cam.com/video/SD9RrQ18jqo/v-deo.html , interview starts at the 2:30 mark.
Its very Wendy O Williams and the Plazmatics. The maggots record. Its something in the changes.
This video got me to look up progmetal and now I’d say it’s probably my favorite music genre.
You know This Life is Mine goes hard when Flynt had to capitalize the chorus.
Ok here's the ages of team RWBY Ruby Rose in vol 1-3 15, vol 4-5 16, and Vol 6-8 17, Weiss is 17 during vol 1-3, 18 in volumes 4 and 5 and 19 in vol 6-8, the same is for blake and yang
The end of let's just live is perfect
Your mentioning of Xzibit and rap breakdowns couldn't help but remind me of the one he performed during the second verse of that one Within Temptation song "And We Run." It was real weird, but somehow it worked for me.
Matthew's laugh is just nice. :)
My wife who won’t watch RWBY loved home so much she let us use it in our wedding! 😊
I always felt Home is a great Wedding Song and All of our Days is a Great father-daughter Dance song.
I think the person you were talking to about the order of score/film was mixing things up a little. While they don't record the music and then animate to it, Monty was known for animating his fights around certain songs that he was listening to at the time - thats always been a talking point about why people think his animation is so widely liked. As usual that may have gotten telephoned around into some people thinking that the show is animated to the score.
very nice! Out of curiosity did you have the lyrics playing for you as well?
yeah we watched the videos that were used in this video..
@@SirsMadamsEntertainment ok thanks for answering.
best days ever. Its the first chapter of volume 2. And there many things hidden.in that chapter.
Matthew, I respect you and all but the word is Gamut, not Gambit.
_To “run a gamut” is to go through the whole scale or spectrum of something. A gambit is a play in chess, and by extension, a tricky maneuver of any kind._
Vocal gamut - whole vocal range.
Lusus Naturae is from Grimm Eclipse if i remember right? The video game that is set just before season 3.
1:08:53 How the hell did he managed to scratch his arm so on beat?? XD
....wow
God damn why did I never listen to Lusus Naturae to the end it's the best thing ever!
Thank you again for the two hours of entertainment you have provided. I loved it and I am looking forward for your Volume 5 and 6 videos. If I may suggest something that I think you'd like - a cover of "This Life Is Mine" done by a guy called Caleb Hyles. All I have to say about it is I wouldn't recommend a RWBY cover if it wasn't perfect.
Have a wonderful day!
weiss's songs are my favorite. her home life was very simmilar to mine minus the money. i love how this song is a "fuck you" to her father and she sung it in front of him at a sold out concert
Your armed and ready video is the same one i choose! Lol
25:33 ...we don’t have any tea on the table...but I’m sure we have some in the kitchen! Hahahahahaha
You guys plan on doing song reviews other than RWBY? it would be awesome to se you guys thoughts on music from Killer Instinct and Bloodborne.
Sorry for the terrible english not my native language.
If ya didn't know lusus naturae is referimg to the grimm in particular grimm eclipse grimm
1:47:18 They sound like a synth crotales to me!
Oh my god, it took me until 1:20:28 to realise lusus naturae was from the perspective of Watts...
Short explanation: This is the first soundtrack i did not hear before, and i am not a musician so although i try to listen, i am more interested in the lyrics side.
Edit: Nice steering through those cliffs xD (1:28:30)
Its not? Its the theme for a grimm eclipse character
random info-bits (if you don't already know)
1) the underrated song was from the rwby-video game rooster teeth made
2) from what I heared the team attack names are the names the community came up with for all the possible ships and RT used that ship-names for the corresponding team attacks - and heared a lot of discussions about this song is yang about her bike or just something to tease everyone who likes that ship - btt: can ship-names be copyrighted?! (...)

this life is mine
best song
I’m still waiting for Mathew to sing Home
If you want to hear Jeff's speaking voice, here's a link to an interview he did with MurderofBirds ua-cam.com/video/SD9RrQ18jqo/v-deo.html
1:20:09 this kind of reminds me of west side story for some reason
The biggest issue with Lusus Naturae is that the vol 4 soundtrack is just so incredible overall. I love LN, but there're SO many good songs on the OST that it's like #3 for me. Bmblb is spelled that way because A) that's the ship name and b) that's the ship name because it's a RWBY thing, the same way the fandom is called the FNDM. It's related to the way the teams are named.
I'm sad you didn't do the Sacrifice remix. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on something that was so electronic and industrial.
We had a poll going on Twitter whether to include remixes or not. We may revisit remixes at some point in the future.
Is it just me or is the trailer score constantly reminding anyone of This Life Is Mine? I swear there's some reused melody in there or something.
I know you guys haven't really done any covers that aren't featured on soundtracks, but even offline, you guys may enjoy Caleb Hyles! He has done a couple RWBY covers, just recently releasing a Red Like Roses Full version (part 1 and 2 together), featuring a special guest that you're familiar with! Just thought I would share another musician who enjoys RWBY! Link to the Red Like Roses cover: ua-cam.com/video/luk4YSHoQxY/v-deo.html
Move Onward Not There Yet
There can always be more bass!
sirs and madams RWBY song cover?????
Hamilton reaction?

1:29:40 if there’s a hill to die on then I’m dying on the hill that I love and appreciate Yang and Blake as friends not lovers
i clicked so hard lol
MOVE THE CAT!
