In contrast to what feels the "Song of Fools" is giving which is made you feel like a lot of people are singing patriotically, this one feels more about an individual singing his longing for his home while sailing across the vast ocean. I would say this is quite similar to Saileach theme
Yet, I'm pretty sure it would happen sooner or later based on his Guard newest skin where he eventually sailed into the Sea of Iberia.. So this event is kinda prelude before he's actually heading towards the sea
@@DokkeeAs a CN player who has just gone through the entire new plots, no matter u believe it or not, Thorns really led the pirate ship and sailed to the real ocean at the end of the story😂
There's a hundred thousand things I can comment on regarding this song and it's brilliance (ha) both compositionally and lyrically but I really want to focus on the use of language and the recontextualising of Thorns' identity as 'el brillo solitario' - the lonely brilliance of Iberia that this song does. The choice for a spanish-english mix in the lyrics is pretty unique for Arknights, but I totally get why they've chosen to go for it. Spanish is the language of Iberia but english is the language of the Aegir and this song represents Thorns' resolve as BOTH an Aegir and an Iberian. The english, which accounts for most of the song, tells of championing one's own fate, of pushing past doubt, hesitation and fear and becoming one's own captain, one's own guiding light on a path determined solely by one's own will and reason but the spanish is much more personal, much closer to the heart. "En las sombras, ojos al cielo, viendo sin miedo algo dentro es un recuerdo (In the shadows, eyes to the sky watching without fear, something inside is a memory)" - though Thorns has always seemed less bothered about Iberia's troubles than other Iberian-born operators, making the choice to fully abandon the legends of the golden, gilded Iberia is just as painful for him as any other Iberian, but he does it anyway. He does it fearlessly, knowing that Iberia 'no es en lugar muy, muy lejos' but that it is something that lives within each and every Iberian whether they're Aegir or Liberi, poor or rich, sailor or scientist. This whole song screams to me that Thorns is done being a lone star, shining only for himself and for his own reasons. He's done pursuing knowledge for self-satisfaction. If no one else will rebuild Iberia, he'll do it in his own way, from the ground up with his own strength following her teachings but never losing sight of the fact that Iberia is not a glorious ghost to be mourned like a lover lost at sea but the living spirit burning inside of each and every one of her children, begging to be freed. If no one else will take charge, Thorns will become the guiding star, the compass which leads due north, the lodestar which never falters. So alta tu voz! Iza las velas!! and watch him ignite the stars sleeping inside all Iberia - one lone glow becoming the catalyst for all Iberia to glitter gold once more.
The only flaws i've seen in the song (i'm Spanish) is that the way the singer pronounces the phrases in Spanish makes him sound more like a Latin American, not a spaniard, and the phrase "No es un lugar Muy, muy lejos" seems to have been translated with Google Translator, since in Spanish (without translating literally) it would be said "No es un lugar muy lejano/demasiado lejano".
@AjangaD Yeah, there's defo some issues that come up when you start examining the accuracy of the Spanish in here (and it's entirely possible that the singer is/more familiar with latam varieties and not continental spanish (definitely not the Castillian variety than Thorns en va speaks or that Thorns' general heritage alludes to) but Arknights is know for having some awkwardness in its regional songs. I recall there being similar awkwardness with some of Italian and Polish as well. That said, even though they're definitely flaws/mistakes, I'm more than willing to be charitable about it because of the sheer magnitude of effort and love on display here. I do definitely wish the singer was a spaniard though 🙈

Oh, him? Yeah, I know him. It's going to take a while. It happened years ago. Did you know... *there are three kind of Doctor? Those who seek strength, those who live for pride, and those who can read the tide of battle.* Those are the three. And him... *he was a true Doctor.*
As a Spaniard, the thing that i dont quite like is that the voice in spanish sections is more like a latin-american pronunciation more than a spanish / iberian peninsula pronunciation, the other thing that i dont quite like is that the spanish parts look like they have been translated with google translate thus making the phrases incoherent. For anyone wondering about why i dont like the spanish parts is that the English VA for Thorns is a Spaniard called "Javier Bañas", and by listening to it you can hear the difference in the pronunciation Aside from that the song is very good and has a lot of details to the music of our land and love to see it here, Both of Thorn's themes sound marvelous and have a lot of attention to detail in them.
I love it, even though I don't speak Spanish, the vocalist is very nice and the Ibera chant is awesome Let's see how the Spaniard doctors judge this song
The spanish sections are very clearly not written by a spaniard, they sound more like the very particular apeech pattern of a hispanic person from the US that doesn't have spanish as a first language. Like Caper. But it's still another incredibly patriotic song for us, "Iberia" is the name of our land, and referring to her with that name instead of Spain lets us be patriotic without all the uncomfortable aspects of our recent history.
"I will captain us forward," He's the captain of Cuddly Baby and he even asked the former captain, Juana to become his first mate. "Be the champion of your stories," After their separation, Elysium went back to Rhodes Island. They exchanged letters and Thorns would tell him about his adventures and Elysium proceeded to write a book based on his stories and it became a big hit on Rhodes Island. Get that bread, noisy bird!
Happy to see the birb didn't hesitate one second to follow his best bud around. 😂 I just remembered the theory that Thorns would get an alter if Elysium died and boy that would have made me sad.
It's all in the refrain suddenly kicking in with the heavy guitars and full rock band drum kit, backed with full choir vocals. Sabaton was literally the first thought I had too, ahahaha.
This seems like sung by a latinamerican instead of a spaniard lol, what a let down, at least they had a spaniard do the English VA and slip some Spanish in it lol
@romant1596 The thing is that there is already another country in Arknights that represents Latin American countries (Bolivar) xD So there should be a difference between someone from Iberia and someone from Bolivar as well.
nah fr, i thought i was going crazy seeing everyone gas up this song. I think for me its mostly the vocals. some parts it sounds like the singer is struggling or off key
Nono, I also wanted this to be a good EP so i set myself up for disappointment lol 1) the instrumental is fine. pretty cool. 2) My main gripe is the vocal. I understand the cultural style they're going for and understand the singers style (which pairs well with the rock parts) but the singer /really/ clashes with the other parts. I think the song wouldve benefited from an almost Theatre-leaning vocalist -- able to belt/project without losing style but also characteristic enough to adjust their voice when needed Though, that's just me being picky ig. Talents are hard to come by when you want a specific thing ig
POV:
A Spanish fleet is about to name your islands as Philippines
My man Elysium needs no convincing to hop on a boat with Thorns to shoot a music video.
and they were roommates
@@Snek-t2n oh not this shit again - me 2009 or smt.

I'm pretty sure they're sailing in the desert; I don't think anyone dares sail the actual oceans on Terra other than like the abyssal hunters
Yet, I'm pretty sure it would happen sooner or later based on his Guard newest skin where he eventually sailed into the Sea of Iberia..
So this event is kinda prelude before he's actually heading towards the sea

Music Company cooked again
This song should be all in Spanish, btw is cool. I hope soon give Thorns alter a full Spanish voice in the game like Siracurans or Ursians.
This song suddenly reminded me of the animated Hercules movie from Disney. The vocals of the singers sounds identical at least for me
If u say tht....probably its adam gubman's work, need to check bout behind the composer
pero madre mía chavales, como mola el Espinas

Nativo no es xD diría que parece mas latino
Very proud spanish song 🇪🇸
I love the mix betwen crusade and pirate vibes this song has, it's so peak, the music team absolutely cooked here
Though I wish the song was full spanish, but still it's absolute peak
somehow this song reminds me to Madonna - La Isla Bonita (as someone who's not really familiar with Spanish music)
