Well can anyone tell me how one can make lyrics like these fit into a song so well made, i my self would have to use it as the main background music for a ALL OUT EPIC FINAL BATTLE?
Let's talk for a minute about how hard it must have been for Casey to preform a duet from the perspective of a girl who lost her mother, _with her mother._
Took you that long? For me it was the Yellow Trailer that got me hooked. Could be because at the time Yang seemed like my OC come to life (both tall, blonde bombshells that use fiery punches to kick serious ass. What's not to like?) they ended up being quite different in the endw, but still
"And all those times I swore that it would be okay..." Wow. That paints a mental picture. Just imagine: Little Ruby Rose crying as her mother heads for the door, Yang behind her, comforting, when Summer turns around, kneels down, pats Ruby on the head, and tells her that she promises to come back. After a while, Ruby gets used to it, until one day her Mom doesn't come back. Nobody knows what to tell her and she doesn't know what to think. Holy fuck.
@@superstarduck3823 im pretty sure ruby says "It doesn't matter how" and her mom says "It doesn't matter now". They both say something different that reflects how they feel
Ruby looks forward with a determined look, as she cocks Crescent Rose. With the force of being shot out of a cannon, Weiss had the glyph send Ruby flying. As she soars through the air towards the Giant Nevermore, Ruby fires several shots, in order to keep herself propelling forward. She finally reaches the bird creature, and wraps the blade around its neck. Weiss then conjures white glyphs onto the cliffside, and Ruby knows exactly what to do. She starts running upwards, using the glyphs, and her shots to keep her moving fast. She finally reaches the top, and with one last pull, decapites the Nevermore. Landing perfectly on top of the cliff, she turns around to look at the scene, and her friends before her. Her cape flutters behind her in the wind. Both enemies have been vanquished. The battle is won
... Wow. This is supreme irony. I never expected to see a version like this go up, so I took the individual songs from the full album and spliced them together in an audio editor. Next day? This shows up. The odds...
sure Jeff isn't Kirk Hammett (Kirk Wahmmet) of Metallica but he's still got a lot of influence in that kind of soloing i'm so happy i have a wah in my multi fx unit, otherwise i'd have to buy one seperate lol, still i'm working on a guitar lesson for the intro wah solo but i don't know when i'll do it teehee, but an even better wah solo is in I Burn and that one took me three weeks to learn anyhow, wah pedals rule
Mytheon151 I've known who Monty was ever since Dead Fantasy. He's inspired me a lot for getting me into animation, and I want to create my own series someday. Monty will be missed.
*+SD .Dranzer* Monty Oum was an incredible and incredibly inspirational person. He was a self-made man who went from zero to successful through his dedication, talent, and hard work. I'd suggest looking him up and reading about his life.
I was really hoping someone would upload this - the proper complete version of RLRp2. Thank you so much. The album version didn't feel complete without the instrumental buildup. Now it's perfect.
I love Sandy's vocals in this. Her vocals kind of sound like a really good male tenor sang it to me, but I mean that as a compliment. Just means she has a lot of soul and richness to her female voice.
Wow, that intro man. I tell you it's those pieces of Rwby music you don't pay much attention to that are the best. Background stuff that blows your mind without you even thinking about it
Tomorrow will be the end for RT. Thank you for the amazing journey, this serie, these songs. RWBY will live on for all of us. As another song say, "All things must die". ... wait wait wait that wasn't the one... "Let's just live" yeah that's the one.
All we know about Ren is he's damn good with aura and semblance control, but has less strength and endurance (he was winded and his attacks didn't do much other than loosen the stinger) Still cant wait to see him get some development
Ren is a skirmisher, he doesn't deal significant damage, rather he distracts his opponent to give openings for heavy-hitters like Nora. One-on-one, he tends to be overwhelmed, but he has a lot of synergy with his teammates.
This song is now a million times more depressing than it already was because it sounds like the kind of sad questions and thoughts we're all having in the wake of Monty's death.
I think that this particular version of this song is not only my favorite song in the series, but my favorite song in general. I don't know, but something about the emotional chaos and how you can easily tell which singer takes the place of which character in this bit of musical backstory and how each character feels about it so clearly just really really gets to me enough to make it my absolute favorite.
I know how Ruby feels loosing someone close to her i felt the same way this song i can relate to Ruby I lost my grandpa to Alzheimer Disease I was so depressed i tried my best my best to stay strong and pretend like i acted normal but deep inside i was severely depressed and i have severe depression i miss him so much but i must stay strong he's in heaven though i wish he didn't die i wish he was still alive if i had know he wasn't gonna live i could have gone and visited him before he passed away but i didn't hearing the news my aunt told me he died i got up walked to my room and broke down i also have asthma so that break down i had some trouble breathing R.I.P Grandpa i miss you a lot you were like a father to me i cared for him dearly i don't know what it's like to have a father he was the closes to me my biological father abandoned me
Akame Hyūga oh i'm sorry at least I'm not the only one I miss him because he was like a dad to me I don't know what it's like to have one my step dad is trying but nothing will ever take my grandpa's place my biological dad wanted nothing to do with me
It came from the grave at the beginning of the Red Trailer. On it are the words "Summer Rose - And thus kindly, I scatter" Summer Rose being a relative of Ruby's. What really sells it is the fact that this song is a duet between Casey Lee Williams and her mother Sandy Casey, as well as the lyrics, with Casey's lyrics being from Ruby's perspective and Sandy's from Summer's perspective. While it's greatly theorized upon that it's Ruby's mother, some also believe it could be her sister, though the Casey Lee/Sandy Casey connection makes me feel it's almost certainly her mother.
R.I.P Monty, your work will be known by a plethora of people, you gave us the joy of RWBY, your legacy will continue on, your memory will be kept alive. Zwei promises this.
I'm hoping we get a flashback of Ruby's mum, Summer, and that she has her own kind of theme similar to this, where we see her being a full on badass to protect Ruby or something.
Yeah. I do NOT like the ending of that volume. It's because of what happened to poor Pyrrha. 😥 Team JNPR is incomplete without her. As a matter of fact, Team RWBY and the others couldn't live without poor Pyrrha Nikos. We need her back right now and have them get all of their special abilities back. Do you all agree with me?
How Dare You Say That!? I have already sent a Letter to Rooster Teeth and have them make a plot where Pyrrha gets resurrected. So don't say anymore about her being gone forever. Do you understand?
I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute Couldn't bear another day without you in it All of the joy that I had known for my life Was stripped away from me the minute that you died To have you in my life was all I ever wanted But now without you I'm a soul forever haunted Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted No way in hell that I can ever comprehend this I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay? Now I'm trapped inside a nightmare every single f'ing day It's like a movie, but there's not a happy ending Every scene fades black, and there's no pretending This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell I know you didn't plan this You tried to do what's right. But in the middle of this madness I'm the one you left to win this fight Red like roses Fills my head with dreams and finds me Always closer To the emptiness and sadness That has come to take the place of you Voice 2 (Sandy): I know you're broken down by anger and by sadness You feel I left you in a world that's full of madness Wish I could talk to you, if only for a minute Make you understand the reasons why I did it I wanna tell you that you're all that ever mattered Want you to know that, for eternity, I'm shattered I tried so hard just to protect you, but I failed to And in a prison of abandonment I've jailed you I never planned that I would leave you there alone I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home And all the times I swore that it would be okay Now I'm nothing but a liar, and you're thrown into the fray This bedtime story ends with misery ever after The pages are torn, and there's no final chapter I didn't have a choice, I did what I had to do I made a sacrifice but forced a bigger sacrifice on you I know you've lived a nightmare I caused you so much pain But, baby, please don't do what I did I don't want you to waste your life in vain Voice 1: Red like roses Fills my head with dreams and finds me Always closer To the emptiness and sadness That has come to take the place of you. Voice 2: You're not the only one who needed me; I thought you understood Voice 1: You were the one I needed, and you left me as I always feared you would Voice 2: Would I change it if I could? Both voices: It doesn't matter how The petals scatter now Every nightmare just discloses It's your blood that's red like roses Voice 1: And no matter what I do Nothing ever takes the place of you Red like roses Fills my head with dreams and finds me Always closer To the emptiness and sadness That has come to take the place of you Show less REPLY
Spoilers Below... Listening to this song again, really makes me see the Rwby/Summer Rose dynamic, turn out like that for Jaune & Phyrra. She left him to fight the big evil of the time, and failed to return... leaving him to emotional distress and forcing him to want to enter the battle more than before...
Randy Phan True. Supposedly, each member of Team JNPR are based on a figure, mythical or otherwise, of the opposite sex known for cross dressing. Jaune is, of course, based on Joan of Arc. Lie Ren is based on Mulan. I think I heard that Pyrrha is based on Achilles. We can only hope she has stronger heels.
The first fights of teams JNPR and RWBY. In these battles the fates of four would become entwined, and the future of Remnant would be included with them. And this song makes it so much better, Ruby remembering her Moms promise and why she's doing this. This is where she earned her position as leader
Between the way she acts and Red Like Roses 1/2, I'm pretty sure that Ruby has some serious damage. Whatever happened in her past messed that poor kid up and it's going to catch up to her. That's gonna be hard to watch.
I've listened to this song countless times now, but the bridge part where Casey and her mum sing intermittently like they are having a conversation...it still gives me the chills every time.
People keep theorising that this song about how Ruby secretly feels or how she will feel in the future. But could it actually be about about how she used to feel? May be it's meant to be about how she felt when she first lost her mom. Seeing how much pain her sister was in could also be the reason Yang stepped up and became such a good sister to her.
I had some friends over to play Smash, and we did an 8-player smash while listening to this song. We played as Rosalina & Luma, Samus, Fox, Ike, Shulk, Bayonetta, Bowser Jr., and Lucas.TEARS WERE SHED
why do I feel like summer was on a mission to find and kill Salem, Summers captured like Oz, and saying things like "your life in vain,, and my same fate" really puts v.3's cliffhanger in perspective.
I love how part one is mostly instrumental, and part two Ruby is like: "Oh hi mom! Why the fuck did ya have to go die on my ass huh?" And Summer is just like: "I know I fucked up and got myself killed and brought you misery yes, but in my defense, I didn't mean to"
To the people who think that this song is about Jaune and Pyrrha (because I know they are out there), this song is NOT about them. If it was, then Casey's part would be sung by Jeff. This song is about Ruby accepting that her mother is dead. This is a "conversation" between Ruby and Summer. This is also sung by a mother and daughter (Sandy and Casey).
The Moose Is Loose Okay, I'm not one of those people, but I think part of a song is it's meaning is open to interpretation, don't get me wrong, the original meaning is important and when this song was written, it was about Ruby and Summer... but In a roundabout sense it's applicable to Jaune and Pyrrha... just like it was also in a roundabout sense applicable to Yang and Raven... it's just a matter of interpretation...
This song will forever be my favorite out of all of the ones currently in the series and the ones to come because there'll never be a song that describes the same situation between me and my mother word for word like this one. Ever.
PEPSIboy1010 Blood relatives yes, but she adopted her as her sister nonetheless ;) Just because they're blood relatives doesn't mean they were originally siblings.
Amazing storytelling with a song, one of the things I love about RWBY is the music, it's made just for the series and each scene individually and it fits perfectly each time it plays.
X_blade13 Pretty sure she isn't Salem considering that Salem is the origin of the Grimm, which have been around long since Qrow and therefore Ruby's mom
I like to think that Summer made some decision that somehow connects Salem's fate to Ruby, thus "Forced to make a sacrifice of you." But, we shall see what what actually happened eventually.
FieryFire101 yep. This Will Be The Day was a giveaway to the first episode, where Ruby got her chance to start training as a hunter. Time To Say Goodbye is about the very real reality that you may Never be ready for the Real Thing. you have to grab your nuts and your training and step up regardless. shit can go down at any time and you have to be ready for a trial by fire.
OK, I think I just found my third favorite song. Amazing how much more I'm listening to this with the buildup added. o.o And i loved both the episode version and the album version already. ;p
@@commenteroftruth9790It’s better to watch for yourself and form your own opinion. RWBY’s writing and animation for me has only gotten better the 10 years its been around. The first few volumes were rough because RT were attempting something entirely original. The only other ambitious youtube animation series at the time was really Death Battle… and that was just slamming ripped gaming models at each other
Wish this was the one that had gotten released on the CD rather than the shorter version without the buildup Still my favorite Volume 1 song regardless
I'm still trying to comprehend how they made such a depressing song so fun to listen to.
Well I think it's due to how even though it's of loss it still shows life goes on
by the power of rock, the blessings of Yngwie Malmsteen, and several buckets of coffee and adrenaline-fueled bloodlust.
Well can anyone tell me how one can make lyrics like these fit into a song so well made, i my self would have to use it as the main background music for a ALL OUT EPIC FINAL BATTLE?
@@CaptFlanzcombat gods 1 used it as the final part of the fight soundtrack if you didn’t know.
The song is bad ass to this day so good

Let's talk for a minute about how hard it must have been for Casey to preform a duet from the perspective of a girl who lost her mother, _with her mother._
The moment I saw Ruby decapitate that Nevermore, I knew I was gonna like this show. I was right.
Took you that long? For me it was the Yellow Trailer that got me hooked. Could be because at the time Yang seemed like my OC come to life (both tall, blonde bombshells that use fiery punches to kick serious ass. What's not to like?) they ended up being quite different in the endw, but still
Dude, I watched that episode on a friend's house, when she took it's head, we both had tears coming out of ours eyes... was simply epic
I knew I will love rwby was when I saw that the series is funny. Ruby weapon and the grim
Well from that moment I at least got that they are not afraid of things... overly so in season 3.
Hey Pyrrha guess what...You're dead...Hahahah..
"And all those times I swore that it would be okay..."
Wow. That paints a mental picture. Just imagine: Little Ruby Rose crying as her mother heads for the door, Yang behind her, comforting, when Summer turns around, kneels down, pats Ruby on the head, and tells her that she promises to come back. After a while, Ruby gets used to it, until one day her Mom doesn't come back. Nobody knows what to tell her and she doesn't know what to think.

So it is. My mistake.

this proves that good solos dont have to be hard.

it wouldv'e been nice if the added it to this version, but is still awesome

Someone also did a version that's like 8-9 minutes, where once Pt.I ends, Pt.II starts.
Yeah, I'm certain Lopez was the cause of that.
Reminds me of Zero from ACZ. Spanish guitars are underutilised
So, I didn't know the second part exsisted until recently, and goddamn, I wish Sandy would sing more on the RWBY songs.

I dont have one yet....soon though

Good job
Alex Abraham headbangs to a lot of RWBY songs in live performances and he turns out ok doing rhythm guitar and headbanging

I like that the entire family got to perform.
RWBY had so much potential. Then poor Monty had to kick it.
this song leaves me exhausted from all the awesomeness.

Best version of this song that there is.
I know how Ruby feels loosing someone close to her i felt the same way this song i can relate to Ruby I lost my grandpa to Alzheimer Disease I was so depressed i tried my best my best to stay strong and pretend like i acted normal but deep inside i was severely depressed and i have severe depression i miss him so much but i must stay strong he's in heaven though i wish he didn't die i wish he was still alive if i had know he wasn't gonna live i could have gone and visited him before he passed away but i didn't hearing the news my aunt told me he died i got up walked to my room and broke down i also have asthma so that break down i had some trouble breathing R.I.P Grandpa i miss you a lot you were like a father to me i cared for him dearly i don't know what it's like to have a father he was the closes to me my biological father abandoned me

Ruby Rose same my dad abandoned me when i was little so my grandpa found and raised me
Since this song is about Rubys mom i hope we saw a flashblack about her
***** theres a lot of people with that theory and im not sure where it came from
It came from the grave at the beginning of the Red Trailer. On it are the words "Summer Rose - And thus kindly, I scatter" Summer Rose being a relative of Ruby's.
What really sells it is the fact that this song is a duet between Casey Lee Williams and her mother Sandy Casey, as well as the lyrics, with Casey's lyrics being from Ruby's perspective and Sandy's from Summer's perspective.
While it's greatly theorized upon that it's Ruby's mother, some also believe it could be her sister, though the Casey Lee/Sandy Casey connection makes me feel it's almost certainly her mother.
Oh also in the opening theme Ruby is arising in front of the grave with a taller ghostly figure cloaked in a white cape like her's.
Yeah I have a theory that Yang is really Ruby's cousin, and Qrow is Yang's father, Qrow Xiao Long.
actually i looked it up monty has confirmed that neither are adopted so anyones theory is fair game

This song combines stunning rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic virtuosity with heart-SHATTERING lyrics, and the result is downright HAUNTING.
I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute
Couldn't bear another day without you in it
All of the joy that I had known for my life
Was stripped away from me the minute that you died
To have you in my life was all I ever wanted
But now without you I'm a soul forever haunted
Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted
No way in hell that I can ever comprehend this
I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone
I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong
How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay?
Now I'm trapped inside a nightmare every single f'ing day
It's like a movie, but there's not a happy ending
Every scene fades black, and there's no pretending
This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well
There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell
I know you didn't plan this
You tried to do what's right.
But in the middle of this madness
I'm the one you left to win this fight
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
Voice 2 (Sandy):
I know you're broken down by anger and by sadness
You feel I left you in a world that's full of madness
Wish I could talk to you, if only for a minute
Make you understand the reasons why I did it
I wanna tell you that you're all that ever mattered
Want you to know that, for eternity, I'm shattered
I tried so hard just to protect you, but I failed to
And in a prison of abandonment I've jailed you
I never planned that I would leave you there alone
I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home
And all the times I swore that it would be okay
Now I'm nothing but a liar, and you're thrown into the fray
This bedtime story ends with misery ever after
The pages are torn, and there's no final chapter
I didn't have a choice, I did what I had to do
I made a sacrifice but forced a bigger sacrifice on you
I know you've lived a nightmare
I caused you so much pain
But, baby, please don't do what I did
I don't want you to waste your life in vain
Voice 1:
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you.
Voice 2: You're not the only one who needed me; I thought you understood
Voice 1: You were the one I needed, and you left me as I always feared you would
Voice 2: Would I change it if I could?
Both voices: It doesn't matter how
The petals scatter now
Every nightmare just discloses
It's your blood that's red like roses
Voice 1: And no matter what I do
Nothing ever takes the place of you
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you

Spoilers Below...
Listening to this song again, really makes me see the Rwby/Summer Rose dynamic, turn out like that for Jaune & Phyrra. She left him to fight the big evil of the time, and failed to return... leaving him to emotional distress and forcing him to want to enter the battle more than before...
I dont think I'll ever get over this song. It invokes too many emotions! Incredible work. Learned this on guitar, super fun.
Did anyone else notice the hammer symbol on Nora's back.
Every character in RWBY has a symbol of their family crest somewhere on their outfit...
N Badic Might not be family crests.
That's what I was thinking.
She's supposedly based on Thor of Norse mythology
Randy Phan True. Supposedly, each member of Team JNPR are based on a figure, mythical or otherwise, of the opposite sex known for cross dressing. Jaune is, of course, based on Joan of Arc. Lie Ren is based on Mulan. I think I heard that Pyrrha is based on Achilles. We can only hope she has stronger heels.
Listening to this after watching Volume 8 hits much MUCH harder
The show not having more combos like this is a bit disappointing sadly. The teamwork, the setup. The execution. Beautiful.
I wish Itunes had the build up.
The first fights of teams JNPR and RWBY. In these battles the fates of four would become entwined, and the future of Remnant would be included with them. And this song makes it so much better, Ruby remembering her Moms promise and why she's doing this. This is where she earned her position as leader
Between the way she acts and Red Like Roses 1/2, I'm pretty sure that Ruby has some serious damage. Whatever happened in her past messed that poor kid up and it's going to catch up to her. That's gonna be hard to watch.
I've listened to this song countless times now, but the bridge part where Casey and her mum sing intermittently like they are having a conversation...it still gives me the chills every time.
Just here for my daily view.
Me too
i cant wait for the new album to come out with season 3
+Argus Flint Volume*
Volumes and seasons are different things.
Oh look at me I'm REO Weedswagon, and I know facts
+Argus Flint finally! Someone recognises that I actually know things!
+REO Weedswagon lmao
+REO Weedswagon Even Speedwagon likes RWBY?!
People keep theorising that this song about how Ruby secretly feels or how she will feel in the future. But could it actually be about about how she used to feel?
May be it's meant to be about how she felt when she first lost her mom. Seeing how much pain her sister was in could also be the reason Yang stepped up and became such a good sister to her.
Yeah, it's a song about how Ruby felt when her mother died.
Anytime the guitar can song the song by itself, that's badass.
Now I want a "Shadow of the Colossus" or "Dark Souls" Multiplayer mod in which four people play as Team Ruby.
Weiss' weapon in Dark Souls? From Software make it happen.
This song hits different after my owm mum died. Still my favourite song tho.
So much WIN....!!!!
I had some friends over to play Smash, and we did an 8-player smash while listening to this song. We played as Rosalina & Luma, Samus, Fox, Ike, Shulk, Bayonetta, Bowser Jr., and Lucas.TEARS WERE SHED
this shit's my jam
why do I feel like summer was on a mission to find and kill Salem, Summers captured like Oz, and saying things like "your life in vain,, and my same fate" really puts v.3's cliffhanger in perspective.
I love how part one is mostly instrumental, and part two Ruby is like: "Oh hi mom! Why the fuck did ya have to go die on my ass huh?" And Summer is just like: "I know I fucked up and got myself killed and brought you misery yes, but in my defense, I didn't mean to"
3:45 Pyrrah is a power ranger
she's also dead
Jakey Boi Sadness
No ....pyrrah was a queen rip best girl ....welp neo here i come
To the people who think that this song is about Jaune and Pyrrha (because I know they are out there), this song is NOT about them. If it was, then Casey's part would be sung by Jeff. This song is about Ruby accepting that her mother is dead. This is a "conversation" between Ruby and Summer. This is also sung by a mother and daughter (Sandy and Casey).
The Moose Is Loose Okay, I'm not one of those people, but I think part of a song is it's meaning is open to interpretation, don't get me wrong, the original meaning is important and when this song was written, it was about Ruby and Summer... but In a roundabout sense it's applicable to Jaune and Pyrrha... just like it was also in a roundabout sense applicable to Yang and Raven... it's just a matter of interpretation...
This song will forever be my favorite out of all of the ones currently in the series and the ones to come because there'll never be a song that describes the same situation between me and my mother word for word like this one. Ever.
I have a feeling that Yang and Ruby's father/mother is/are dead and this song is Ruby's lamentation of that loss.
Yang's parents are very much alive. Ruby is her adopted sister.
I was not aware of this...
PlusOne2Crit . Wrong! Monty has said that Yang and Ruby are blood related.
Uh....huh. That is just a bit confusing.
PEPSIboy1010 Blood relatives yes, but she adopted her as her sister nonetheless ;)
Just because they're blood relatives doesn't mean they were originally siblings.
I love the long introduction leading up to the music such a good song
My mind is slowly melting
So excited for volume 2
Amazing storytelling with a song, one of the things I love about RWBY is the music, it's made just for the series and each scene individually and it fits perfectly each time it plays.
sometimes I like to think that this is Ruby talking to her late mother, who ended up becoming Salem for whatever reason I can't wait to find out
X_blade13 Pretty sure she isn't Salem considering that Salem is the origin of the Grimm, which have been around long since Qrow and therefore Ruby's mom
AnimeBattles(Top10s) WAY longer
Señor Jecansu I know
I like to think that Summer made some decision that somehow connects Salem's fate to Ruby, thus "Forced to make a sacrifice of you." But, we shall see what what actually happened eventually.
holy...mother...of god...
Awesome! Yet again you amaze me Mr Williams. I applaud you and everyone that helps you
Ready set go
Why do I remember the exact lyrics to this song. It’s been 3 years since I’ve heard it
Every time I listen to this song, I get chills. I love it!
Dear Rooster Teeth, I expect RWBY season 2 to feature a song titled "Red Like Roses Part III." That is all.
Time to say goodbye
FieryFire101 yep. This Will Be The Day was a giveaway to the first episode, where Ruby got her chance to start training as a hunter.
Time To Say Goodbye is about the very real reality that you may Never be ready for the Real Thing. you have to grab your nuts and your training and step up regardless. shit can go down at any time and you have to be ready for a trial by fire.
Vicionary
Thanks for uploading this :)
The buildup at the beginning is what made this song :)
i personally like the built up, it gets the song going and adds to the adrenalin feeling.
WHY WASN'T THIS ON ITUNES?!?!?! This gave me chills when I listened to it
I was waiting for someone to make this version! Thank you much, RT4!
OK, I think I just found my third favorite song. Amazing how much more I'm listening to this with the buildup added. o.o And i loved both the episode version and the album version already. ;p
Outstanding, I wanted to hear this version for a while now
This fits well with a battle between two stickman. A red army, and a lone yellow
depressing...but I just want to listen to it more.
Uhhhhhh such a good song
never watched rwby, probably wouldnt like it at all cuz of the art style and animation, but this song is grand regardless
The story is even worse. You can find videos on it if you're so inclined.
@@MrDoyle-ky4he lol the stories worse? Thats unfortunate.
depends on the season
Just watch the first 3 volumes
It's fire!
@@commenteroftruth9790It’s better to watch for yourself and form your own opinion. RWBY’s writing and animation for me has only gotten better the 10 years its been around.
The first few volumes were rough because RT were attempting something entirely original. The only other ambitious youtube animation series at the time was really Death Battle… and that was just slamming ripped gaming models at each other
*Checks out of curiosity to see if this is on spotify*
Jeff, Caseym and Sandy... god bless you all!
Wish this was the one that had gotten released on the CD rather than the shorter version without the buildup
Still my favorite Volume 1 song regardless
