It very much lends to the theme of irregular mindset and trying to hide true feelings and emotions behind either 4 walls or behind a quiet and solumn mask.
On the "it means everything" part, without spoiling anything let's just say the song plays when a certain character is going through extreme emotions, mostly anger Also you know you've made it as a game composer when people can (mostly) pinpoint the exact tone and scenario the soundtrack is played in
It means everything stands out a lot when compared to other songs. It doesn't have any leitmotifs that I know of and itsjust, so unique. It sounds like a panic attack manifest that's being drowned out by pure rage.
21:30 "The chord progression is just endlessly sequencing down." Well, that checks out in the story. Which is even more surprising because this song was made before the game was made and not even made for it at first.
Fun fact: My Time wasn't composed for Omori, it's just an extremely good and fitting song made by a British musician bo en, which was used in the first trailer for Omori (2014!), and then later in-game. The Omori version of the song is slightly sped-up/pitched-up to be even cuter sounding. bo en later actually composed a few original tracks for the game though, and they're bangers!
Fun fact; The song my time is played during the bad ending and the repeated word of “oyasumi” translates to goodnight. Meanwhile, the song that plays during the good ending is titled good morning.
Oh I had chills in the whole OMORI part, almost cried ! Gorgeous improv there. What you said at 19:45 was EXTREMELY ON POINT. It's not confirmed by the composer, but it's widely believed some of the sounds used here are meant to be voices in distorted memories, a traumatic memory to be precise. Which would be why some of the sounds suddenly peak and growl, as some of them are shouts, argument, screams... and thuds. Obviously I'm not gonna spoil what this is, but if you want a little bit of context, imagine someone repressing trauma and it comes back all at once, and you have only 2 options : stand down and give into it, or grow to move forwards with it. It's going to be excruciating to fight back the urge to give up and to face everything you've been fearing so much you needed to bury it. And that's where the dread, panic and anguish of those crazy sounds come in. This video does much better with the cuts by the way ! I don't mind it being longer at all, this is great !
Yeah, the memory part seems right on. Plus it amplifies the past experience by a lot and (spoiler warning) It's almost like the distorted part is Omori trying to fight against Sunny, who is the violin. The violin is constantly throughout, but the distortion is obviously trying to overpower and throw off with it's violent and alien-esq noises
I just listened to the prior react for Omari from SPG. And as someone who has PTSD from childhood trauma, reading this made me realize why I had teared up so much during the last one, even though I was merely listening at the time. It's rough, but hey, I'm still alive and now able to live and thrive. \o/ Makes me want to play this game. but I don't think I could take it. XD
Honestly, I know it doesn't sound like it, but "it means everything" is one of the most emotional songs in the game for me (besides Final Duet). The story that surrounds it just... hurts
One thing that I think would've been interesting to see is how you would react to the game's more creepy songs (Acrophobia, Something, Photograph, and Your Catastrophes to name a few). I also recommend taking a look at Tee-Hee Time if you ever do a part 3
Aaah this was so cool! I feel like the multi-hit combo that is my time was the most relatable experience! Omori goes the whole range of emotions, soft and nostalgic, fun adventures, melancholic and tragic, to downright horrifying! I hope someday you get to enjoy this amazing game for yourself! (Also folks: did you know SPG is on twitch? If you wanna see cool behind the scenes stuff--including the filming of this very video--you should give him a follow and join his discord! Its super cool!)
To me, "ALTER" is the pure embodiment of anxiety in musical form. Especially following "OMORI," since the latter leads into the former, it takes such a somber ambience and practically tries tearing it apart. I can't explain it easily, especially without diving into spoiler territory, but holy hell, those two tracks together are one of my favorite pieces of video game music of all time.
Omori is an absolutely incredibly game, and if you have the time to play it at some point, going in blind is ideal! I simply don't have it in me to spoil/answer any of your questions if you have any interest in checking it out. Your analyses and impromptu accompaniments are an absolute joy to watch! The chord progression in See You Tomorrow is an absolute work of art. It Means Everything hits hard, and although you haven't reacted to it, By Your Side is probably my favorite piece - the vibe of it shifts every time you hear it, I swear. 💛
When you said that sugar star planetarium sounded like it would be a place “full of colours” and that it was “very dreamy” you hit the nail on the head. without spoiling anything dreams will be a big part of the game so you basically guessed it perfectly.
You're the most wholesome and educational music reviewer I've seen so far on UA-cam. Really wise ways and words used here. I'd definitely love to see more.
right!! and a reactor who actually reacts. or, at least responds in a way that offers actual insight while still having a very experienced and enjoyable personality... i really like the way he even goes as far as to pay tribute to the songs by playing his own rendition; it is reaction content done beyond perfectly...
I always took Omori Alter to be the screaming outrage of emotion beneath the somber heartbreak breaking through, like when you're so sad and depressed, that you start to catastrophize and degrade and everything starts to crumble. It always gives me this feeling of scream-crying.
I feel like it'd be cool to watch you play through the game (or watch a silent playthrough), and just react to the music as it appears in the story and see if you find it any different.
You got the “it almost sounds like gibberish” part actually spot on, i dont know fully yet but I believe it was said that it was supposed to sound like the fight of the incident going on (if ykyk) without spoiling too much, i find it crazy how spot on you got most of the descriptions
0:55 Dang, that was pretty close to the actual vioolin-only rendition until that specific note :) 1:34 BETTER THAN GOLDENVENGEANCE! 4:50 This one is literally a retrain of Moog City and Moog City 2 from Minecraft but with a spacy tone and chiller leitmotif. One you can hear again in one other very tense song later 6:06 Voted on the top 5 best songs in the whole game, nothing says conflict like this piece. Filename is . . . . "anxiety". +40, that's also what I thought. The image that always comes to my head is that deranged head-tilt that anime villains do when extremely mad, with a weapon hanging to their side :) 10:34 Yooooo! I didn't know that! I'll be sure to update the databases when I get access 13:32 That explanation works in like 9 different levels for the part where this plays but I dare not say a single thing further on it, not even beyond a spoiler tag. If you know, you know. 15:44 Fun fact, the blurry fence in the background there is the game's title 17:50 Even more relevant in ways unexplainable without major spoilers. I love when composers deduce such from music, especially with Omori and Undertale 21:11 This composer made 4 tracks for the project. This is the first song that anyone ever heard for the game, and was the music for the first trailer, which lacked almost all spoilers. In that trailer, everything from the first Oyasumi to the second Oyasumi segment is cut, which kinda destroys the song. Otherwise an amazing piece. also, the composer confirmed that this song (from his album Pale Machine) is about . . Sleep. In my interpretation, that feeling you get when you are on your phone at night hating yourself for not going to sleep this instant so you can work tomorrow :). Sick video 21:48 "1, 2, 3, 4, 5 minutes." + "There's nothing I want more than to sleep. But the world won't allow it/But I can't, it's words" idk which of the two 22:10 "Have, a, good, night" or "Go, now, to, sleep". Ever notice how it's much easier to translate japanese songs into Spanish than it is to translate them to english? The syllabics (I think that's how it's called) fit much better. "Bue-nas, no-ches" 22:50 That can translate to "nothing to be done about it", but here "So be it/No matter" fits better. Easier in spanish 23:03 Wait up it gets Venice-like. 24:15 I love it because it's just what your wandering brain feels like at 2 AM
If you decide to play omori, you will immediately understand that each music is very infused in its own moment. And especially the track omori alter flows very well into its moment of playback. I think the music in this game is the most brilliant of all the games I've played.
Loved the reaction to My Time ahaha, super funny to watch. It really is such a unique song. I'm really glad that you liked it instead of condemning it for it's rather weird parts unlike most people do! :)
19:32 Not really spoilers but if you know you know WHEN HE SAYS THE DRUMS ARE TALKING AND HOW IT SOUNDS LIKE A PERSON IS SPEAKING IN GIBBERISH MADE ME GO CRAZY CUZ IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW PEOPLE SAY IT'S MARI TALKING
If you do do a part three I'd definitely recommend Tee Hee Time, Underwater Prom Queens, and Whale Whale Whale/Swallow Hollow, the first two are such epic songs and the last two are some of the eeriest in the game
The 'OMORI' track indeed plays at the height of the game, and you almost hit the spot when you gave your interpretation of the discordant sounds that appear midway through the story! Love your videos as always, and excitedly waiting for the next franchise you'll tackle!
19:44 about the voice part: SPOILERS within the community, it has been theorized quite enough that the "voices" you are hearing are actually Mari's cries of despair, telling Sunny to stop as he's getting violent towards her. Keep in mind that the scene probably takes place during the "incident" as you can even hear phrases like "no" or "stop it" which actually make quite sense given the context of the game.
it's not like he beat her to a pulp. he threw his violin down the stairs, mari got angry at him, they argued, he tried to go to his room but she stopped him, then he accidentally pushed her too hard and she fell down the stairs head first on the violin and died.
Your interpretation of Omori almost makes me cry, my eyes are wet. It made me remember the feelings I had the first time I played Omori and I got to the part of this song, without going into details, it made me remember how helpless and sadness the scene conveyed to me and how much the background of everything hit me emotionally . I thought I would never feel what I felt playing Omori again and yet here I am, crying from that same emotion. Music is truly a miracle for humans, thank you for giving me that moment back.
Im am very glad to see you reacting to “OMORI” and “OMORI - Alter” It’s the most heartbreaking song (With and without context) i’ve ever heard. and the section of the game where the song plays is just… absolutely perfect.
I've seen a lot of music reactions recently on UA-cam, but this is definitely one of my favorite! The breakdowns of each song are super thorough and educational, and I love hearing the jam session parts as well! As someone who knows little to nothing about composition but really loves listening to music, this was a pleasure to watch! Looking forward to more.
It means everything is such a emotion filled OST It feels like anger, angst, bitter, sadness, action, movement and excitement, and confusion… all those feelings mixed into one LOVE it so much
Yes, there are actually quite a lot of leitmotifs in this game. And about where they sound... Believe me, even if it technically can be told in the comments, nothing like finding the tracks in the actual game. 🎻
It's a very common theory that in omori:alter that you can hear voices in the music distortion saying things like: "stop it" "Help" and that in certain parts the drumbeat sounds like sobbing and gasping.
Yessss you listened to OMORI, thanks for doing that!!! OMORI is easily the best song in the entire game, its hits you so hard and just completely shatters your soul. I have other songs I like better than OMORI, but one thing I can say for sure, OMORI is the most emotional piece I have ever heard in my entire life, and as someone who has played instruments since I was 6 for 11 years now, that means something. Also, I count OMORI - ALTER as just and add on to OMORI, and I can say with 100% certainty I have never heard anything like that ending, those harsh, angry, glitchy effects that completely contrast the melancholic violins and violas in the background. Truly the best song I have ever heard, not my favorite, but 100% the best. Oh ya, also 🎻
A bunch of people already said it, but „it means everything“ is a really emotional song, fitting for the scene - your cover was amazing too, I would love to hear a full version!
To me the disortion in the “omori” track is the “ennemy’s” regret, despair and pain of losing everything (the enemy being immaterial, one yet everything and everywhere, cherished yet painful)
I really loved your previous reaction to the series' soundtrack, and this was really fun, too! Given your lack of context for the tracks themselves, some of your insights on them are surprisingly refreshing (and some a bit too close to the truth), and others obviously not so much, but that's okay lol. We welcome it. 🙏 I wanted to include a fun little fact about My Time and the violin, but I felt it might be edging too close to spoiler territory, so I'll hold off. 😅 I do hope you have the opportunity to play this game someday for yourself, it's truly a gem.
The fact that he basically described the scene the Omori song is used in without ever playing the game is honestly incredible. A song of unresolved weight at the conclusion of the story.
When I heard you play along with the ost OMORI, I instantly thought of it as a counter. How it is the cry, the opposing force that fights back the negativity of the battle against OMORI in the game itself. I just imagine it being how when Sunny uses the skill Cherish, and remembering the words of his friends, he fights back. He gets the courage to overpower OMORI and realizes that there's a reason to keep going, there is a reason to live. I'd definitely would love to see a cover with the soundtrack! You play beautifully. 💕
God the sound track for this game is genuinely so powerful. It hits whether or not you've played the game, which is impressive. You playing along with the songs, especially Omori, was so beautiful and added an extra layer to an already gorgeous song
The song “OMORI” and “ALTER” the extension made me cry in the game just as much as the final duet did. It has so much meaning and weight and it’s just so sad and I was crying so much and every time I listen to it I cry at least a bit 😭 very VERY important part of the game btw :)
i saw and heard it means everything. and i got so insanely excited ah yes, the theme of fighting a childhood friend in their church(while theres a sermon happening) i was trying to remember when the distortion started getting intense for omori/alter and i had said to myself "no hold on im pretty sure the coughing and falling down stairs starts before alter" i didnt know how much i needed an acoustic guitar cover of my time until now
You should listen to You were wrong. Go back. & You cannot go back. They’re both themes of the same character but they’re really different & show how he’s feeling at different parts of the story
When you mention the part about how it's almost like a human voice speaking gibberish, it's actually kind of like that. You can actually sorta hear "Stop it!" which has to do with the events in the game.
Aaaaa I'm so excited you did Omori!! I'm so glad this game is reaching so many people. I think it is such an amazing game that I highly recommend. I also love how you improv after each of the song on the Viper. I really want to recommend reacting to Madoka Magica (the anime) music in the future! I really enjoy listening to it and I think it really contributes to the story.
It was absolutely a blast watching My Time throw you for a loop over and over. It's definitely a style potpourri, and the chaos, as you can tell, is _delicious._ With that, combined with the context of the song in-game, it's small wonder Omori fans can't forget it~
Your reactions are so amazing to watch everytime! It's really obvious that you are absolutely FEELING the music, and I am so happy you are enjoying the music of my favourite game. As for a potential part 3... I would like to request my favourite tracks Lost Library and Orchard :)
the "OMORI"/Alter tracks is...incredibly strong. Given at the point this plays in game...what is happening during this track..what HAS happened thru the game...its soul crushing. even without knowledge of the game, the music speaks for itself...the knowledge just makes it an emotional crit.
Your speculations about the emotions, and how "Omori" felt like a reflection, actually relates to the game and that moment perfectly. I'm surprised how much music could give away for this game lmao
This video is beautiful! I've watched videos of people reacting to music before, but yours feel like it has the most time and care put towards it! Also I love the mini violin covers after you hear the songs. Make more reactions to games, these are great!
The way you did the mini violin covers for the songs brought a tear to my eye! And the way you intently listen to each track, truly emotional and amazing, please keep up the good work ❤ you make my day feel so light and happy
19:44 pretty sure this is supposed to be the most important argument in the game but distorted to sound like a bitcrusher, not confirmed but its how i interpreted it. Very interesting that you could hear it too.
You managed to have a deeper appreciation and understanding of the game's music than most without even playing the game. Amazing. Edit: including myself, I learned way too much new stuff just from your blind interpretations.
The way ur on the mark for the big picture of the part of a story (especially the omori ost) the tells me the musicians are amazing and know how to convey emotion and it tells me you are a great musician from the fact u can distinguish the story by listening to the meaning of music and what its trying to represent
LMAO I IMMEDIATELY STARTED CRYING AT "SEE YOU TOMORROW" (that hits right in the heart fr) then i saw "Gsus" AND WHEN I TELL YOU I STARTED LAUGHING SO MUCH 😭
You mentioned for the mixing of the Omori alter soundtrack that it almost sounded like human voices. Fun thing is, many believe that it may actually be an extremely distorted audio track hidden beneath all the distorted percussion. I won’t spoil what people theorize the audio is of, but it’s so much more heartbreaking and meaningful if it really is what many theorize.
I beg you to play this. You, a musician, will feel the emotions so bad you'll be balling by the end. P.S. This will be the emoji you previously told to leave behind: 🔪
😱 loved your reactions. god the omori ost is so good. such an emotional journey. the beginning of the 4 minute Omori song always makes me start to tear up
When you said that the composer making the "Omori" theme 4 minutes long likely pointed to it being a moment of significance, I'd say you were right on the money. That theme plays during what could be easily considered the second or third most significant moment of the game.
It means everything is a very emotionally significant track in the game. Without spoilers, it represents a character's emotional anguish and grief culminating in a lot of anger in which they lash out really extremely. Kinda like a mental breakdown tbh
Omori has hands-down my favorite soundtrack in any video game. The level of emotion in it, even the little less-important more ambient tracks created a level of immersion that made the emotional beats and the climax of the game resonate in such visceral ways. The "omori" track and it's alternate gives me chills every time and brings me back to exactly the moment I first played the battle it is in. Anyways time to go cry

Listening to the soundtrack feels like playing the game due to the incredible amount of songs and length.
This really is the best way to put it. The music and atmosphere of omori truly are tied.
It very much lends to the theme of irregular mindset and trying to hide true feelings and emotions behind either 4 walls or behind a quiet and solumn mask.

21:48 "1, 2, 3, 4, 5 minutes." + "There's nothing I want more than to sleep. But the world won't allow it/But I can't, it's words" idk which of the two
22:10 "Have, a, good, night" or "Go, now, to, sleep". Ever notice how it's much easier to translate japanese songs into Spanish than it is to translate them to english? The syllabics (I think that's how it's called) fit much better. "Bue-nas, no-ches"
22:50 That can translate to "nothing to be done about it", but here "So be it/No matter" fits better. Easier in spanish
23:03 Wait up it gets Venice-like.
24:15 I love it because it's just what your wandering brain feels like at 2 AM
If you decide to play omori, you will immediately understand that each music is very infused in its own moment. And especially the track omori alter flows very well into its moment of playback. I think the music in this game is the most brilliant of all the games I've played.
Loved the reaction to My Time ahaha, super funny to watch. It really is such a unique song. I'm really glad that you liked it instead of condemning it for it's rather weird parts unlike most people do! :)
As a composer, it's part of my job to learn to appreciate all types of music genres.
“Almost as if I can hear the drums talking”
Who gon’ tell him??
19:32
Not really spoilers but if you know you know
WHEN HE SAYS THE DRUMS ARE TALKING AND HOW IT SOUNDS LIKE A PERSON IS SPEAKING IN GIBBERISH MADE ME GO CRAZY CUZ IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW PEOPLE SAY IT'S MARI TALKING
I think it would be better if you did not put that one name in there
The moment "Alter" starts playing:
[Redacted] erases the enemy.
[Redacted2] feels AFRAID.
[Redacted2] takes 160 damage! (out of 300 max)
Never seen anyone so happy listening to the bad ending theme "My Time"
if he played the game hed be sobbing fr
@@sophxxe naaahhhh the song is a banger, it's actually what in my opinion made the bad ending a bit less dark, tho you can't really make it not dark.
If you do do a part three I'd definitely recommend Tee Hee Time, Underwater Prom Queens, and Whale Whale Whale/Swallow Hollow, the first two are such epic songs and the last two are some of the eeriest in the game
7:30 love how you added melody to this song that is supposed to sound broken and confused, you're really talented!
It's always a delight to watch your reactions and analysis of the pieces, SPG!!! 🎉🎉🎉
WOOT! Thank you so much Fira!
The 'OMORI' track indeed plays at the height of the game, and you almost hit the spot when you gave your interpretation of the discordant sounds that appear midway through the story! Love your videos as always, and excitedly waiting for the next franchise you'll tackle!
my time plays at the height of the game aswell but it kind of falls down
19:44 about the voice part: SPOILERS
within the community, it has been theorized quite enough that the "voices" you are hearing are actually Mari's cries of despair, telling Sunny to stop as he's getting violent towards her. Keep in mind that the scene probably takes place during the "incident" as you can even hear phrases like "no" or "stop it" which actually make quite sense given the context of the game.
Not really getting violent, just pushed her away to be able to get down the stairs because Mari didn't let him
@@mariotheundying ...If only-
@@thefireman17492 no he's right sunny wasn't really violent until she tried to stop him
it's not like he beat her to a pulp. he threw his violin down the stairs, mari got angry at him, they argued, he tried to go to his room but she stopped him, then he accidentally pushed her too hard and she fell down the stairs head first on the violin and died.
Maybe she says "stop it" when Sunny tries to go down the stairs, and when he pushes her, she says "NO", panicking as she falls.
Your interpretation of Omori almost makes me cry, my eyes are wet. It made me remember the feelings I had the first time I played Omori and I got to the part of this song, without going into details, it made me remember how helpless and sadness the scene conveyed to me and how much the background of everything hit me emotionally . I thought I would never feel what I felt playing Omori again and yet here I am, crying from that same emotion. Music is truly a miracle for humans, thank you for giving me that moment back.
Im am very glad to see you reacting to “OMORI” and “OMORI - Alter”
It’s the most heartbreaking song (With and without context) i’ve ever heard.
and the section of the game where the song plays is just… absolutely perfect.
@@Official_StringGamer um no
I've seen a lot of music reactions recently on UA-cam, but this is definitely one of my favorite! The breakdowns of each song are super thorough and educational, and I love hearing the jam session parts as well! As someone who knows little to nothing about composition but really loves listening to music, this was a pleasure to watch! Looking forward to more.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Omori without context: This video
Omori WITH context: 💀💀
When you played that violin along with 'sugar star planetarium', my hands got washed over with a wave of goosebumps
It means everything is such a emotion filled OST
It feels like anger, angst, bitter, sadness, action, movement and excitement, and confusion… all those feelings mixed into one
LOVE it so much
Yes, there are actually quite a lot of leitmotifs in this game. And about where they sound... Believe me, even if it technically can be told in the comments, nothing like finding the tracks in the actual game. 🎻
Omori alter is always playing in my head... Every single second 24/7
3:24 I find it so fascinating how you manage to make a violin sound like an electric guitar, such skill!!
It's so awesome that when he first pulls out his violin he is instinctively playing something very close to what the actual violin part is.
I love how you were bobbing your head to the song that plays when you get the bad ending
It's a very common theory that in omori:alter that you can hear voices in the music distortion saying things like: "stop it" "Help" and that in certain parts the drumbeat sounds like sobbing and gasping.
Oh my god I never noticed. I can definitely hear that after it's pointed out
great :) I also love the combine of classic and rock/metal
Glad you like it!
Yessss you listened to OMORI, thanks for doing that!!! OMORI is easily the best song in the entire game, its hits you so hard and just completely shatters your soul. I have other songs I like better than OMORI, but one thing I can say for sure, OMORI is the most emotional piece I have ever heard in my entire life, and as someone who has played instruments since I was 6 for 11 years now, that means something. Also, I count OMORI - ALTER as just and add on to OMORI, and I can say with 100% certainty I have never heard anything like that ending, those harsh, angry, glitchy effects that completely contrast the melancholic violins and violas in the background. Truly the best song I have ever heard, not my favorite, but 100% the best.
Oh ya, also 🎻
A bunch of people already said it, but „it means everything“ is a really emotional song, fitting for the scene - your cover was amazing too, I would love to hear a full version!
To me the disortion in the “omori” track is the “ennemy’s” regret, despair and pain of losing everything (the enemy being immaterial, one yet everything and everywhere, cherished yet painful)
I really loved your previous reaction to the series' soundtrack, and this was really fun, too! Given your lack of context for the tracks themselves, some of your insights on them are surprisingly refreshing (and some a bit too close to the truth), and others obviously not so much, but that's okay lol. We welcome it. 🙏
I wanted to include a fun little fact about My Time and the violin, but I felt it might be edging too close to spoiler territory, so I'll hold off. 😅
I do hope you have the opportunity to play this game someday for yourself, it's truly a gem.
Will there be a Part 3? I love seeing your reactions and beautiful violin plays from one of my favourite games! ❤️
if he does i hope he reacts to 'You Cannot Go Back', my favorite track :)
The fact that he basically described the scene the Omori song is used in without ever playing the game is honestly incredible. A song of unresolved weight at the conclusion of the story.
The smile while he listens to My Time, made me laugh
Hahahah.. AAA.. 😭😢
When I heard you play along with the ost OMORI, I instantly thought of it as a counter. How it is the cry, the opposing force that fights back the negativity of the battle against OMORI in the game itself. I just imagine it being how when Sunny uses the skill Cherish, and remembering the words of his friends, he fights back. He gets the courage to overpower OMORI and realizes that there's a reason to keep going, there is a reason to live. I'd definitely would love to see a cover with the soundtrack! You play beautifully. 💕
HE IS VIBING
I AM VIBING
WE ARE VIBING
PART 3 IS NEEDED
omori is an amazing experience (not biased in the silghtest... obviously), would be amazing if you played it
God the sound track for this game is genuinely so powerful. It hits whether or not you've played the game, which is impressive. You playing along with the songs, especially Omori, was so beautiful and added an extra layer to an already gorgeous song
I have to admit, after finishing OMORI not once but thrice, the soundtrack started to give me goosebumps
The song “OMORI” and “ALTER” the extension made me cry in the game just as much as the final duet did. It has so much meaning and weight and it’s just so sad and I was crying so much and every time I listen to it I cry at least a bit 😭 very VERY important part of the game btw :)
I just recently found your channel and I gotta say...YOUR VIOLIN LOOKS AWESOME!!(and sounds awesome)
Thank you so much!!
@@LionmightOfficial It sounds like a guitar and a violin at the same time sometimes.
i saw and heard it means everything. and i got so insanely excited
ah yes, the theme of fighting a childhood friend in their church(while theres a sermon happening)
i was trying to remember when the distortion started getting intense for omori/alter and i had said to myself "no hold on im pretty sure the coughing and falling down stairs starts before alter"
i didnt know how much i needed an acoustic guitar cover of my time until now
You should listen to You were wrong. Go back. & You cannot go back. They’re both themes of the same character but they’re really different & show how he’s feeling at different parts of the story
When you mention the part about how it's almost like a human voice speaking gibberish, it's actually kind of like that. You can actually sorta hear "Stop it!" which has to do with the events in the game.
Aaaaa I'm so excited you did Omori!! I'm so glad this game is reaching so many people. I think it is such an amazing game that I highly recommend. I also love how you improv after each of the song on the Viper. I really want to recommend reacting to Madoka Magica (the anime) music in the future! I really enjoy listening to it and I think it really contributes to the story.
It was absolutely a blast watching My Time throw you for a loop over and over.
It's definitely a style potpourri, and the chaos, as you can tell, is _delicious._
With that, combined with the context of the song in-game, it's small wonder Omori fans can't forget it~
Your reactions are so amazing to watch everytime! It's really obvious that you are absolutely FEELING the music, and I am so happy you are enjoying the music of my favourite game.
As for a potential part 3... I would like to request my favourite tracks Lost Library and Orchard :)
Thank you so much!!
the "OMORI"/Alter tracks is...incredibly strong.
Given at the point this plays in game...what is happening during this track..what HAS happened thru the game...its soul crushing.
even without knowledge of the game, the music speaks for itself...the knowledge just makes it an emotional crit.
Your speculations about the emotions, and how "Omori" felt like a reflection, actually relates to the game and that moment perfectly. I'm surprised how much music could give away for this game lmao
This video is beautiful! I've watched videos of people reacting to music before, but yours feel like it has the most time and care put towards it! Also I love the mini violin covers after you hear the songs. Make more reactions to games, these are great!
Thank you! And yes, there will be more!
The way you did the mini violin covers for the songs brought a tear to my eye! And the way you intently listen to each track, truly emotional and amazing, please keep up the good work ❤ you make my day feel so light and happy
the end part made me feel like I was watching someone climb staircases sideways on their hands
💀
19:44 pretty sure this is supposed to be the most important argument in the game but distorted to sound like a bitcrusher, not confirmed but its how i interpreted it. Very interesting that you could hear it too.
OMORI: ALTER is truly a one of a kind song
it makes me really happy to see omori grow so much, and the music to the game can be so beautiful.
You managed to have a deeper appreciation and understanding of the game's music than most without even playing the game. Amazing.
Edit: including myself, I learned way too much new stuff just from your blind interpretations.
"OMORI - Alter" Sounds like someone's crying in the track to me. Like just straight up sobbing. Hard. Choking on their own tears and snot.
The way ur on the mark for the big picture of the part of a story (especially the omori ost) the tells me the musicians are amazing and know how to convey emotion and it tells me you are a great musician from the fact u can distinguish the story by listening to the meaning of music and what its trying to represent
LMAO I IMMEDIATELY STARTED CRYING AT "SEE YOU TOMORROW" (that hits right in the heart fr) then i saw "Gsus" AND WHEN I TELL YOU I STARTED LAUGHING SO MUCH 😭
You mentioned for the mixing of the Omori alter soundtrack that it almost sounded like human voices.
Fun thing is, many believe that it may actually be an extremely distorted audio track hidden beneath all the distorted percussion.
I won’t spoil what people theorize the audio is of, but it’s so much more heartbreaking and meaningful if it really is what many theorize.
"It means everything" kind of gives the same feeling as "Kingdom of Burmecia" from Final Fantasy 9
🙃
"Endlessly sequencing down."
Not the only thing going down.
The song “omori” makes me cry every single time
I beg you to play this. You, a musician, will feel the emotions so bad you'll be balling by the end.
P.S. This will be the emoji you previously told to leave behind: 🔪
Omori is falling to my time meanwhile he is just jamming to omori falling with a violine
😱 loved your reactions. god the omori ost is so good. such an emotional journey. the beginning of the 4 minute Omori song always makes me start to tear up
bro please you gotta do a violin cover of Omori, Omori and Omori Alter, cuz omg, you playing actually made me cry
When you said that the composer making the "Omori" theme 4 minutes long likely pointed to it being a moment of significance, I'd say you were right on the money. That theme plays during what could be easily considered the second or third most significant moment of the game.
I'm addicted to Omori musics- but the violin covers... WOW.
always nice to see more Omori
Pluto's themes are underated imo
It means everything is a very emotionally significant track in the game. Without spoilers, it represents a character's emotional anguish and grief culminating in a lot of anger in which they lash out really extremely. Kinda like a mental breakdown tbh
omg you should definitely react to acrophobia, thalassophobia or arachnophobia those three especially acrophobia give me goosebumps
It would be cool if he listened to the sped up versions too.
For me Arachnophobia gave me goosebumps since I have arachnophobia
@@yen2201 SAME BRO
Omori has hands-down my favorite soundtrack in any video game. The level of emotion in it, even the little less-important more ambient tracks created a level of immersion that made the emotional beats and the climax of the game resonate in such visceral ways.
The "omori" track and it's alternate gives me chills every time and brings me back to exactly the moment I first played the battle it is in.
Anyways time to go cry
