- Finally, I listen to Living Failures from Bloodborne! This is one of the most unique tracks I've heard from Bloodborne so far. It was overall more positive, specially the beginning with all those space vibes!

You guys have been recommending Living Failures for a long time and now I can see why. That first half sounds so different than any Bloodborne music I've heard.
And hey, while you're here, make sure you check my Dark Souls music videos as well: ua-cam.com/video/_AKjMqhE-mI/v-deo.html
Can you react to Well of Souls from The Legend of Spyro?
I am so happy i suscribed to your channel!!🥰😗😘
Now Please do the Abyss Watchers, meu amigo BR. XD
You hit it on the nose with the space references. Bloodbornes story is very complicated and most who play it have no idea what it’s about. So it’s amazing that you can get a picture from the music alone. The “Blood” part of the name is because it came from the Old Ones, powerful cosmic beings who were found in a labyrinth. The blood they supplied healed any ailment and the ones who discovered them founded magical healing churches. A lot of them were hunters. The blood was good at first but then people started to turn into beasts. Then the hunters were sent out to clean up the mess. Lady Maria was involved (her boss room is literally the door after this) because she was part of a dark twisted plot that used innocents as test subjects in an attempt to “Ascend” to the heavens and cosmos and be attuned with the old ones. Your video on lady Maria was spot on as well by the way. All of it is the portrayal of triumph and grandeur with the brass. But then the rest of the music reminds you something else is going on. Something “disturbing” you might say
@@LiloDemon Ele nao é br. Ao menos eu nao acho.
Watching lore channels to understand lore : ❌
Watching Davi Vasc to understand lore : ✅
lol I always feel like I get a lot of things wrong in these
@@DaviVasc hit the nail on the head, just like always. This is my favorite track in the entirity of the bloodborne soundtrack and i listen to it all the time while writing because i get this maddening sense of euphoria and sinister creative energy emanating from such an immersive masterpiece.
you guys are all parroting the same exaggerations as each other
@@SobeCrunkMonster lol bruh, watch his Ludwig one, he gets literally everything right about him without even knowing what hes about. Godrick the grafted, he can easily tell that the point is be horrifying. Godskin apostles, he can tell what their whole deal is. which yes the name helped him, but from 3 words and a song, that's still amazing songwriting) He could tell the whole theme of Elden ring by listening to the main theme, how instead of the depressing soulsborne theme, it was semi-heroic and still having hope.
Hes gotten a lot of things perfectly correct, or insanely close just by listening to the music for it to not be an exaggeration to say that its insanely impressive.
@@DaviVasc the way you don't assume things without reason and stay on the feeling of the song makes you more precisely correct than most lore channels. Mainly because they want to be smart and see beyond their eyes, you just listen and give a translation of the real facts.
The Living Failures are the result of an experiment yes. The very basic gist is that the church in BB tried to turn humans into gods. In doing so there were many failures. One woman, Lady Maria, took care of the people who were being experimented on. She provided solace to those who were in the process of transforming. As such she is pretty much revered by them and seen as a holy mother of sorts. This could very well explain the second orchestral half with a lot of happiness in it.
its almost like a prayer type of happiness too, that is soo cool and also extremely creepy
That's somewhat correct, B-.
Check out a channel called _Unreleased Game Music;_ he coordinates with his subscribers to translate the Latin riddled throughout BB's music. The second phase doesn't have too much to translate, but at the initial chorus, you can hear [Ave, Stella] or [Hail to the Stars].
Even If the experiment was a failure, it seems the were able to make some form of contact with the Cosmos. A simple "hello," if nothing else.
But their idea was to make emissaries.
Actually it was the first attempt to creat kins
The choir portion right before the 2nd phase with the "happy" sounding chords kinda lines up with the Failures finally managing to all pose together to cast the meteor spell. You can see some attempting it in the 1st phase but they never seem to time it together. Then the 2nd phase could entirely represent the grand nature of Kos but also the knowledge unknown to us that the Failures seem to have tapped into.
For once they didn’t fail
@@mjtechnoviking44 oof that cuts deep haha
Having the ost perfectly in synch to when the failures finally summon the cosmos themselves as projectiles is absolutely awesome.
We don't understand it because we don't have enough eyes 👀
Yes exactly, they finally in all their despair and suffering managed to summon the cosmos in unity
was thinking Mars from gustav holst too. and this boss lorewise has EVERYTHING to do with space.
Feels very intentionally inspired for sure. You could mash they songs up quiet well i think
They literally chuck entire galaxies at you.
This man just understood the lore just by listening to the theme, very cool
Bloodborne composer is genius, very well captured vibe into the music. And well this guy is very very clever too
So as motoi Sakuraba for dark souls
You literally discovered the lore behind the failures just by simply listening to their soundtrack and that’s super impressive.
Thanks bro. I got some hints from their appearance and from the title of the track though.
It really is!!! It’s also a testament to how much the musicians and lore makers loved their project. To make them meld so well. Ive played many games where that wasn’t the case and it could completely throw you off cause the music doesn’t fit well to the story. But fromsoftware almost always completely nails it and I love them for it
The lyrics for the choir at around 10:45 are approximately "Glory, glory to the stars! (...) Oh blessed lord!" (in Latin). This, along with the boss's lore, gives some context to the happy chords - that part of the song is likely meant to represent the ascension that the patients in the Research Hall were meant to achieve, but ultimately failed (hence the name Living Failures).
I saw it somewhere that the lyrics say something like "Ave". Don't know if it's correct, though. But I thought it was fitting, since the expression "Ave Maria" is very common in catholicism. And, well, who's the boss that comes right after The Living Failures? Of course, it can all be just a coincidence.
@@matheusbecker2351 Ave Stella, "hail the star". And you might be onto something about the connection to Maria, that's a neat theory. The song itself directly references the Orphan of Kos too, so it's just a whole mishmash of boss references then.
From what I understand, the Living Failures were, well, failures from experiments into trying to ascend into Cthulhu-like 'gods' via the ingesting of special water, as opposed to the path through 'The Blood'. The 'successful' ones are called the Celestial Minions and the truly successful one is called the Celestial Emissary. So the space association is very apt.
I'm pretty sure the special water is brain fluids
Talking about the excitement portion of the song. That part plays specifically during an attack where everything turns into stars and meteors fall out of the sky. Since the Failures are the failed experiments to reach a higher plane of existence, it'd make sense for them to be the ones feeling the happiness as even in their failed state, they can still temporarily touch that existence they tried to reach in the first place.
Yeah I agree, that is how I've always interpreted that part too. It's kinda similar to Ludwig's track in that regard, although with him it's a lot more obvious what is happening.
Definitely feels like what would play over a mad scientist screaming "ITS ALIVE!!!!!"
The entire area leading up to this fight is extremely dark and depraved, the abominations are worse than the ones you’re fighting in this boss battle. These “living failures” are the culmination of all of these experiments, and during the fight they are finally able to commune with the celestial beings and bring down comets to earth. In the eyes of the church and these poor souls that were turned into these things… they finally did it. That’s probably why the second part of the track contains so many of those happy chords, these failures finally lived up to their purpose and showed some kind of success. In that moment all of the experiments in this part of the research hall were no longer for nothing. These failures, taken to this lumenwood garden by lady Maria finally had some form of success.
Another goosebump inducing boss music from Bloodborne. AWESOME
Indeed!
@@DaviVasc Can you make a reaction of Owl - Father from Sekiro too?🥺🥺🥺
@@johnfan1015 sekiro soundtracks are trash
@@fusionxxenon You have the right to think so.
@@fusionxxenon they aren’t for everyone, but I personally enjoyed them.
When they raise their arms and turn the whole sky to space and meteors come down, that is a top 5 overall moment from any soulsborne game IMO (art + music + combat + lore all put together)
Wow! Almost all of the songs from the DLC. I wish you could analyze the "Orphan of Kos" theme or "Laurence, The First Vicar". Awesome songs as well! Best wishes from Brazil!
Vamoo
Laurence, The First Vicar's theme is incredible.
Sanguineeeee SAAAAAANNNNCTUUUUUUUM!
AAAAAVEEEEE AAAAVEEEE STEEELLAR
vamo q vamo
Good luck there in brasil
I think it’s a testament to not only your skill as a music analyst but also the skill of the composer of these songs that you are able to so accurately understand the lore and what’s happening with these bosses just by listening to the music
Thank you! And yeah, Yuka Kitamura and the whole Bloodborne music team are all legends.
So one little detail: the second phase starts here 10:15 at the "explodiye part" and as you can see at the footage here 10:27 they are standing still rising their hands summoning comets, and the choir sings something like "Ave, ave Stellar" which means "Hail, hail the star".. what I'm trying to say maybe it's the Living Failures the ones who exited, they were created to communicate with cosmos and they kinda able to do it and may be they are happy about it
But we don't know maybe we both right maybe both wrong etc :)
Thanks for the reaction!
Absolutely love this one. I've always interpreted the brass to be the grandiosity of space, as well as the looming presence of the cold, experimental, church. What's interesting is that the song loops before the crazy choir bits at 10:15, it's only when the bosses work together to literally bring space to them (and shoot SPACE DEBRIS at you!) that you hear it. It's perfectly synced and never plays before hand (that's why the buildup is so quick, so they can fit it anywhere on the track). Even though they are "failures" they wield the strange universe power that humans never have. When threatened, they succeed to use this "magic". It's been a while since I played, so I don't remember why they are considered failures. In fact, the "successful" version of this boss is easier to fight, so it begs the question, what was the church after?
Though they are marked as failures, these guys are far more formidable than the actual Celestial Emissary.
This song is amazing, the choir comes when the boss is finally able to make contact with the gods, being their original objective and the reason they were created, facing you seems to be the final push they needed to achieve their purpose.
The amount to things you discover just by listening to the soundtrack... it's both showing how much of passion and talent for music you have and how much the soundtracks in those games are an amazing work of art that manages to get it's themes perfectly
Another day of Davi Vasc blowing my mind with music breakdowns. When you said “Does this have something to do with space?” I lost it 🤣 because it very much does. Awesome work bro!
1:45 Kinda seeing as the boss resembles the Celestial Emissary, another boss in the game. The Living Failures reside in a building that partook in quite a bit of human experimentation, namely in trying to 'ascend humanity' and allow communion with celestial higher entities beyond human comprehension. At least, I think that's what the location these Living Failures reside in was trying to do.
Interestingly the Research Hall is located right next to the Nightmare counterpart of the Upper Cathedral Ward area. In fact, the exact counterpart of the area that you fight the Celestial Emissary is through the door you unlock with the Balcony Key. You even go through the broken window!
Bloodborne is truly a masterpiece of media.
The experiments couldn't turn them into Emissaries to ascend and make contact with Great Ones, yes. But instead they call down the cosmos itself upon the arena just to attack us. How can we call that a failure...?
@@will_d76 even failures will succeed once in a while
8:00 Ahhh, The feeling.The build up in this parts never get old and Never will
I find it fascinating that the Latin vocals during the beginning of the 2nd phase for the "Living Failures" is crying out "AVE", which is to proclaim victory. I wonder if anybody has taken apart the latin vocals in souls music and found if it gave more context or flavor to lore.
There is! You can can find a lot of lyric translations to the choirs from soulsborne soundtrack. Definitely should check it.
@@will_d76 what do you mean soulsborne soundtrack. Is there a site or channel or something?
@@abysswatcherbutibitethedus872
Here’s a good channel with really well made, translated and interpreted lyrics.
ua-cam.com/users/saturn580
I think this is because they use the power of the great ones which means they are not failures and have succeeded in what they were designed for
Now that you mention it, this definitely sounds like an evil mad scientist's big reveal of their new discovery/invention with the classic bloodborne eldritch horror vibes added in.
Mad Scientist: BEHOLD! MY GREATEST CREATION!
*invention activation followed by mass destruction*
Exactly what I felt. The happy chords give it a positive atmosphere, but not positive in the sense of happy. More like positive as in laughing maniacally.
@@DaviVasc especially with the intro 2:45 it’s like the scientist is thinking “boy do I have something for you…”, before he reveals it.
7:48 is where he reveals it, and 7:59 is where everyone is contemplated the possible harm of it
The choirs in this song are absolutely astounding! It's insane how they can use it so well
been looking forward to this vid!
Hope you enjoy it, Sven!
Love that ending haha. *song ends* , *Davi looks directly into the camera* "Wow"
This is one of my faves among BB OSTs, and you nailed all about the lore again! Great content as always sir!
Thank you my friend
My favorite ost in Bloodborne finally, so epic, so tragic and so galvanizing at the same time.
Simply an amazing piece of music.
I know when I'm earing it that somwhere there is a brother in arms who's listening it too and it gives me so much power and strength
That's amazing
Your analyses have become my favorites because you actually break things down well and enlighten me on new parts of the songs. I even learn about new bits of music history. It’s great.
You also guess the lore so well every time. This boss does have something to do with space, and the religious organization that created it, the Choir, is very authoritarian and grand. The joy of a new scientific achievement, the dread and ominous twist of “failure” in the experiment, the cosmic elements, the tragedy….it’s all there. It’s amazing how many themes a piece of music can communicate in one brief progression of chords and notes.
The happy part rly gives me Frankenstein's monster vibes. Like they're a horrifying scientific breakthrough
Which lore wise, they kind of are
I love to watch your videos cause your analysis is so educated, I feel like I learn something new from you every video!
Happy to hear that, my friend. Thank you.
eXACTLY
Davi in BB the two main factions are the Healing Church and the Choir. They both started when Master Wilhem and his pupil Lawrence had a fallout over the usage of a certain type of miraculous blood that was discovered in an ancient labyrinth below the city of Yharnam. The blood could cure any disease in record time and enhance endurance which made Lawrence want to spread its usage to the rest of the world and make the Church the most powerful organization in it (whether out of good intentions or not its not specified). Wilhem and Lawrence wanted to ascend the human race to its next step in evolution. Wilhem wanted to do it through insight, the gathering of knowledge of the astral plane and its creatures. Lawrence wanted to do it through the blood. The blood which has its origins in a great one called "The Moon Prescence" does not evolve humans, in fact it regresses them to a primal, beastly state of frenzy, turning them into beings similar to werewolves. This major fuckup made them quarantine Yharnam and the Church founded the Hunters organization to fight the beasts periodically. The church hunters had two major leaders, one was Ludwig and the other was Gerhman. Over time both Lawrence and Ludwig became afflicted with the bloodborne disease and turned into beasts. The first part of the "Old Hunters" DLC recaps the events (through a nightmare setting) of the raid of "Old Yharnam" in which the city was burned to the ground alongside everyone in it.
But the hunters didn't stop there. In their attempts at purging the scourge of the beast the hunters, led by Gerhman, raided a coastal town named The Fishing Hamlet, where they slayed another great one called "Mother Kos". After experimenting on himself with parasites (called Phantasms in game) Master Wilhem had his intelligence massively boosted and his insight into the cosmos widened. He described the feeling as having "eyes on the inside". The transformation produced by ingesting these parasites is different to the one caused by the blood as it makes the bodies of the victims turn into fishlike blue creatures. These two modes of corruption are in fact used in game as mechanics where the player can gain "insight" or "frenzy".
The Living Failures are the results of these experiments.
After the events of the Old Hunters DLC everything went to shit. The great ones started to capture some hunters into their realms as "Hosts" chaining them to an eternity of servitude with Lady Maria being the host of the orphaned child of Mother Kos and Gerhman being the host of the Moon Presence forever tasked with recruiting hunters to serve the Moon Presence until the cycle is broken. There are other minor great ones and hosts in the game such as Micolash, head of an ofshoot of the choir called the School of Mensis, trapped by a great one called "The Brain of Mensis". The Amygdala, who captures an npc named "Patches" as its host and the formless great one Oedon who has the most mysterious role in the story but has ties to the old queen of Yharnam and his present day descendant, both of which are impregnated by him.
I love how the souls community comes together to watch all composers reacting to the music of the game, hope you all can stay and support this man.
you have very well trained ears and mind, dude. Super impressive. Understanding the music makes you understand the story even more, it’s awesome
Thank you my friend!
It amazing how close you get to the actual lore of the boss just from the theme, its incredible and it makes me appreciate Bloodborne's and
Fromsoft's music more knowing how well these themes match up with their respective bosses.
Awesome dude! I've been waiting for this one. The fight itself is really kind of annoying due to how it plays out so my first time playing I didn't stop to appreciate the theme. Now I look forward to it just to hear this banger.
So... Laurence The First Vicar soon?
Yes. Soon...
@@DaviVasc If I'm not too late, can I strongly recommend you listen to the Cleric Beast theme first, and then Laurence the First Vicar. Preferrably in a video together. The Laurence theme clearly assumes you've heard the Cleric Beast theme, much like with Gwyn Lord of Cinder and then Soul of Cinder.
Yes finally about time this one gets some attention. But anyway the part when the quire takes over I think is more so excitement on the part of the living failures. In a way like they are able to fulfill a purpose they have been striving for, for so long. And the rest sounds like when they noticed that there purpose has failed. It then changes into anger but also happiness as if in a way they are finally released from a massive burden and are happy and angry at the same time.
I love how analytical he is about the first part of the theme, but when phase 2 hits he's just like : 'wow', lost for words
Good to hear I wasn't the only one hearing a march in that rhythm. Ominous space march authority with a happy chord in the mix is quite a way to describe a song.
I'll always associate the ''happy'' part with a ''celebration'' of sorts. Because when it plays, generally, plays with the part where the living failures is casting the cosmos power conjuring a meteor clash, and the gesture seens like a celebration or glorification of it with the hands in the air, like they are literally embracing the cosmos. So the happiness of it its disturbing because those things were once humans that embraced the cosmos at the cost of its own humanity. Great video! Very insightful :)
Thank you so much. The choirs are divine in this track and you perfectly got the lore.
I was really surprised about the clear reference and omage at the beginning to "Mars". I wasn't expecting that.
Man, am I happy to see this. This is by _far_ the most underappreciated track in the game in my opinion. That second phase transition is just an absolute showstopper!
I'm so glad I found this channel, it's super interesting listening to how music can really tell the story
Welcome, my friend
“Living failures” sounds like what my mom might call me
The music for the Living Failures has always been super interesting to me because typically the other really good music comes from the bosses that are generally considered to be some of the best, but the Living Failures are a pretty mediocre boss and in my opinion the only real flop of the Old Hunters, and yet have one of my favorite soundtracks of all of bloodborne.
This man clearly hasn't tried Lawrence. Terrible, terrible boss.
@@kalamaroe7137 ikr. Laurence's only redeeming quality is his music.
@@kalamaroe7137 hes literally one of my favorites
I mean they kinda did achieve their purpose being living failures and all
Deacons' ost is great, Witch of Hemwick... Many bad bosses have great osts
9:03 you are absolutely correct! And at 9:27 where you spoke about the later that adds a layer of worry, unsuccess, and doubt is exactly correct too!
The living failures are creatures that were SO close to ascension and being a successful project, however they are a failure nonetheless. That is why the track suggests cosmic themes but keeps a layer of doubt and unsuccess. It’s because they were so close to reaching the stars and ascension but not quite. And the cosmic theme stays because, in the bossfight, they keep actually have partial access to the power of the stars and they unleash cosmic attacks on us involving meteors and stuff.
It’s exactly why it’s a mix of happy and disturbing/unfortunate.
Great analysis, you hit the nail right on the head. It’s both a congratulations to you and the composers for being able to translate such complex emotions and themes with multiple layers.
You should react to blood starving beast and the queen of the vile bloods theme as well. They're both underrated tracks but sooo good
yooooo, totally agree! those two are some of my faves
DOOOOOOOOOOOOO-MEEEEEEEEEEE-NOOOOOOOSS!!!
I was looking forward to this one! Honestly, as someone who loves music, your channel is perfect with its breakdown and your enthusiasm makes it so much fun. Can’t wait to see where your channel goes
I absolutely love this OST and I’m really enjoying your Videos too. Thank you for making them. It’s nice how you literally guessed everything about this bossfight correctly and even lined the gameplay up with the music so that they both ended at the same time.
Awesome stuff, I'm liking the analysis of your videos. While I recommended Moon Presence, I feel another Bloodborne track to check out is Ebiretas, Daughter of the Cosmos.
Keep it up, I'm enjoying the content!
The icing is the second phase, where the song goes "AAAAAAMMEEEEENNN", all failures rise theyr hands, the sky gets dark but full of stars (celestial) then starts to rain deadly meteores (chaos), and then the music go all in with orchestra and choir, as you fight aganist all failures and all attaks they now have unlocked.
Its "AVE" not "AMEN".
this video just show us how the music this themes literally tell the story without words AND I LOVE THAT, great video!
My favourite track from Bloodborne - great analysis
thanks man
What are the odds? I was just going trough your older videos when this popped up as I refreshed the page. One of my favorite tracks from Bloodborne, glad you covered it :)
Oh wow what a coincidence :D
Blessed be the choir, for through them the blood of life flows to all.
this has always been one of my all-time favorites!! maybe someday you could do the track "Queen of the Vilebloods" from this game too! its not the most popular bloodborne track, but imo it's one of the best in the whole game. either way, thanks for the work you put into these!
I was about to say this,Queen of the vilebloods is the most underrated track in this game
I LOVE this content! Would also be cool if to look up to the actual lore after to see if the feelings one got from the theme matches the lore of the boss.
That would be cool!
The “wow” at the end sums it up like poetry 👌🏼
slave knight gael next pleaseeee, imo it has the best "drop" of any game OST i've heard. On par with Ludwig at least :^)
It’s so satisfying listening to you explaining the surface level of lore just from music. Really shows how well trained is your ear is and how well written the songs are
Subscribed to your channel when I found your Gehrman video and then this which is my favorite theme from Bloodborne pops. Great reaction to the theme and its amazing how well you understand the lore just from the music.
As always, your video makes me look at some things from a new side. Yep, The Choir is a very authoritarian organization.
"Here we stand, feet planted in the earth, but might the cosmos be very near us, only just above our heads?" For someones this tragedy is a really exciting thing.
Very exiting is also the turn in of the choir in the secound phase.It sounds quite like youre facing a sect or some sort and theyre summoning something evil.
I recommend the track "Queen of the Vilebloods" Its absolutely bonkers, I'd love to see your analysis on it! That and Laurence the First Vicar
Is Queen of the Vilebloods from Bloodborne as well?
@@DaviVasc Indeed it is!
I feel like at this point we're just gonna ask him to do every song in the Bloodborne soundtrack
FINALLY!! I'm so excited you've finally reviewed this gem!
You're absolutely right on the authoritative organization in the world of Bloodborne. It's called "The Healing Church'. The way you can pick out elements of the plot based on music history is not only a testament to the genius of the music of Bloodborne, but your own knowledge and musical expertise. Bravo, thank you again for another lovely breakdown!
JFC he even says "It sounds like a second phase!" when the phase 2 music starts lmao. Good shit.
Fun fact the Living Failures were supposed to be Celestial Puddings (That's how I call them)
And the group of patients on the Balcony turned into the Celestial Puddings
When I started listening to the music I thought it sounded like a movie OST, it also reminded me a bit of Star Wars. And it's probably because of the influence of Gustav Holst (I didn't know him until now).
From all these "proffesional reacts" videos i've seen, you're by far the most insightful when it comes to breaking down things.
Oh my god, YES! I’m so glad someone else noticed that this sounds so Star Wars(ey), I’ve had that feeling for years now! But it’s also such an interesting spin on Star Wars like music, because there’s this theme in it where it’s not adventurous like Star Wars is, it has the same dramatic flare to it, but there’s something scary and ill-fated about it which fits so perfectly with the lore, as these ”Living Failures” are actually people who’ve been experimented on in mad attempts to explore the cosmos, which in this game is portrayed like space but is more like this unseen realm of the Eldritch Great Ones, gods for all intents and purposes. And these victims as seen in the area leading up to the Living Failures undergo this horrific process of mutation, agony and brewing madness as this crazy organization tries to elevate their minds, in typical Bloodborne fashion resulting in insanity, an insanity made scarier by the fact that some of them seem to be in immense pain, wishing for death and others eerily content or even happy in their complete detachment from reality and their senses, often times reduced to a tumultuous sludge that used to be their malformed heads, in touch with something beyond what you the player can see, hearing things you cannot. And so these Living Failures are as kin to the Great Ones, harnessing their powers at the cost of all their humanity in every sense of the word, becoming horrors of the game’s inspired Lovecraftian nature.
And so the horrific Star Wars music fits so well, humans reaching for the stars, never quite reaching what they aim for and cruelly destroying and corrupting themselves and those around them in the process. The music encompasses all of this, the entire story of the story at play surrounding this boss.
Praise The Cosmo
I’ve been waiting for this. Great work as always!
This theme has the most majestic and ominous vibes all out of Bloodborne music. It totally blew my mind. Every time I listen to this piece, I get lost in the Lovecraftian world which always scares me and seized by the feeling of powerlessness before the mighty force of the cosmos. It’s literally out of this world! Really impressive. I’m always fascinated by the world-building of Bloodborne. Thank you for this video, Davi.
Great observations, Aya. Thank you for watching!
I was hoping that you could do the Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos theme, also from Bloodborne. Another cosmic boss and a music track that really nails that (also maybe the most underrated song in the game)
It is astounding how much of the lore you got right about them just from listening to the theme.
Amazing composition captures the story of the boss perfectly. And your trained ear picked up on subtle lore most players had to look up theories for online.
You got a sub from me dude
One of my personal favourites, and I didnt even know why, thanks for teaching me.
It ends so suddenly also
Oh man, please please please do Laurence, the First Vicar from Bloodborne, it's so beautiful.
What i love from this track is how well it's integrate with the fight. By the time the music is building up, you are fighting one failures individualy, but the numbers icrease, and by the time the music is full blow, you have to fight 4, and every time one die, other rise.
one of the most underappreciated pieces of bloodborne is Bloodstarved Beast
it doesnt sound catchy like other themes but its such an interesting piece with so many layers and facets. i would really be interessted to watch an anylisis of bloodstarved beast from you!
that theme deserves it
Wow, you're really good at this! It's impressive how much you can analyze, that's helps me to learn and to love more the soundtracks... You should react to Ebrietas, Daughter of Cosmos, also from Bloodborne... Really good, it's really is
If you're thinking of doing more Bloodborne I'd definitely recommend Ebrietas, daughter of the cosmos. It's wild and really gives the impression that you've discovered something unknowable.
The fact that you got lore out of the music is phenomenal. I subbed just because of this video. I love souls borne.
Great breakdown of the sounds and how the theme was constructed
You can really see how much care was taken by from soft for the games, even the music, if you look at videos like this. A professional who never played the game (?) could see the whole theme of the boss just by the choice of music. Its amazing!
Amazing work as always! It fascinates me how much of the story you can figure out just by the music.
I do have a suggestion: Deus Ex: Human Revolution has a soundtrack with a lot of interesting stuff going on in atleast two of the tracks, Icarus and Ending.
other tracks also have good stuff, but those two just hit different, you know?
I think you'd like it, if you want to look at something that is very different to the other music you've covered.
My god how much he can understand of the boss and the worlds lore from the music alone is incredible!! Goes to show the thought that goes into these scores
man i can’t express how excited and interested your videos make me, they’re the perfect content for me personally haha. i 100% agree that the happy chords give an impression of something inventive like someone is marvelling at the creation they have made, only to switch into sad and disturbing sounds realising that they have made “living failures”. anyway love your content and am eager for the next video as always dude :)
I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, man. Thank you :D
I've been massively enjoying the way you break down the soundtrack and describe the feelings and energy in them! So perfectly matches what the game itself is revealing on the surface beneath and inbetween. Can you maybe do this for The Hunter? Father Gascoigne's theme. I would so love that! Your vids are so cool and have made me feel the importance of music on a different deeper level other than knowing it clearly is representing what's being depicted and sounding cool lol
Davi, thanks for all your videos in the past few months. I've loved listening and learning from your analysis and you inspired me to go on my own music journey as you say. I bought a digital piano and am taking lessons. Hopefully I can get somewhere with it in a few years
On another note, i'm sure we'd all love to you attempt to play through bloodborne at some point!
wow this is unexpected, it's a great theme
Reaction to every other part: Detailed explanation of what's going on.
Reaction to climatic end: "Wow."
Man .. your breakdowns gives a whole other prospective to the story and overall lore. You have basically confirmed some lore aspects and actually opened up others areas for lore hunters to explore (your analysis to the second part is intriguing and raises questions).
I truly can't wait for your views on elden ring music and I can see lore content creaters coming after you for some story directions to delve into. Awesome work man, you are blessed with a true talent.
It's crazy how spot on you are with the lore in relation to the boss music in the ones you've covered so far. I always get excited to see a new video on your channel, it helps me get through the day so to speak. If others recommend it as well, would you be up for analyzing Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos from Bloodborne?
Came here from the Consort of Radhan music! Once again the choir got so loud at one moment I was like "Kill it! Kill it before they do!" xD
I think it's funny; I pretty much discovered music theory with your videos even though I'll probably never try a soul-like or such because that's just not the type of game I'd play to... But I get to pretty similar conclusions you do most of the time. I guess it's only logical since I learnt most from you! Love your work! I guess you just naturally explain things in a way that makes lot of sense to someone who never saw a music sheet in their life (I did but I didn't need to read it myself) but it's really a great way you found to reunite video games and music together. At least I can't find any criticism to add even though I saw some people working in the same field you do would have another approach at it. You're making great content out, that's at least what I wanted to say
Some people are saying the second half of the song with the very happy almost religious chanting is because they love lady Maria and lady Maria loves them, but I think it’s more the creators of the Failures being very excited about the progress they’ve made even though they weren’t entirely successful. I think it’s sort of like a proof of concept since the Failures can summon cosmic projectiles and whatnot, even if they aren’t fully transformed kin.
Love the Bloodborne videos, there’s so much more amazing soundtracks in this game like the One Reborn, Laurence, Ebrietas, Father Gascoigne and some more that i am forgetting.
Big brain here, your story inferences from the music is pretty spot on
These videos are some of my favorite on UA-cam, much love bro i hope you keep enjoying to make these. Your analysis is extremely interesting
The disturbance and layers not matching witch one another + the Boss' name = 🤯
