Casey Lee Williams was 13 when she started singing for RWBY. She is also the voice of Neopolitan and Negative Weiss. She has continued to sing for RWBY for the past 11 years
The RWBY soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard. I love how they mix various musical genres in an extraordinary way and the voice of their interpreter (Casey Lee Williams) is wonderful. If there's one thing RWBY never fails you at, it's their songs.
Red Like Roses Pt. II is a song that basically plays out like a theoretical conversation between Ruby and her mother, who passed away before the series started (you see Ruby at her grave in the red trailer i think) and the cool part is that it’s performed by Casey Lee Williams and her mother Sandy Lee Casey
RWBY songs: Divide, For Every Life, Inside, Lusus Naturae, Bad luck Charm, Caffeine A few are older while others are newer, that way you can hear Casey's improvement. Also Casey has a band called "Ok goodnight" which has a different sound but is really good! Casey sings most of the music and her father Jeff did the music for most of the show until recently because he retired. In two of the songs above Jeff sings the male vocals.
Many of the songs are very fast paced, but my favorite song is the one made to honor the guy who created RWBY (his name was Monty and he died between seasons 2 and 3). It's called "Indomitable", and many of the lines are about how the show was made, or are references to quotes from him
This life is mine hits so hard when you know Weiss story and her first two songs. Her three songs itself are a story, its so well done from the producers!
*4 songs Path to isolation (aka mirror mirror part 0.5) Mirror mirror Mirror mirror part 2 This life is mine (aka mirror mirror part 3) It's my turn is also a Weiss song but it's not officially part of the mirror mirror saga.
RWBY has an amazing soundtrack for each volume, the music is made by Jeff Williams, the singer is his daughter Casey Williams, and the second singer in the duet song "Red Like Roses Part II" is Sandy Lee Casey, her mother. Casey does almost all of the vocals and is incredibly skilled, coming from a family of musicians and training since she was super young, only twelve years old when she started recording music for RWBY (For anyone saying the age is wrong, she stated herself that she was 12, and the red Trailer was produced and made before she turned 13). For song recommendations; Caffeine - The theme for another, older group than RWBY in the show Neon - A song from another character in the show that one of the girls fights in a tournament. She's great at trash talk, so it's a dance club diss track. Indomitable - A song in tribute to the original creator of RWBY who passed during the creation of Volume 3
RWBY is also made by people who blatantly disregarded the creators wish for the series, proceeded to make it terrible, have a history of racism, and don't care for their own employees since they still never apologized to the original voice actor of Qrow despite there being literally no issue with him. But they say it's ok when their top workers were found cheating on their own wives with fans of the show thus using their status for sex
Anyone know how old Casey was when red vs blue's falling toward the sky was recorded, I thought that that was the song she did when she was 12 but I could 100% be wrong
Triumph is probably one of my favorite of the intro songs personally (It's the fifth, This Will be the Day was the first). One thing to note is that a lot of the V1-V8 songs sound a lil similar after some time even though they're still amazing. Volume Nine is a bit refreshing since Casey took over writing herself (in the past Jeff wrote while she sang). Some other ones that I love are Nevermore, Indomitable, Ignite, Armed and Ready, Let's Just Live, and then All that Matters for something softer + they're not Ruby/Red focused for something different. There's so many more amazing ones tho. V9 Soundtrack isn't fully out yet, otherwise I'd suggest those.
RWBY is a series that either people adore or people despise but we can all agree the songs always stand out. Jeff Williams work, backed up by his daughter, Cassey Lee, is always a knockout. The songs are great as stand alone tracks but also are meant as an insight to the characters themselves. A fan favorite thing is trying to identify which songs match which characters. Some are clear from a start and some require some thinking. This Will be the Day was the opening to the first volume. Very straight forward. Rex Like Roses II is a song looking into Ruby’s feelings towards her mother’s passing. In a conversation like style we see some insight that the show doesn’t always get a chance to highlight. This Life is Mine, is a song for Weiss (White trailer girl.) Without giving spoilers it’s basically her singing bout wanting to take control of her life. And that’s all that can be said. Really hoping you’d get to the show because while it may have some problems, it’s such a blast to watch.
9:05 Naw it’s just that like 90% of the soundtrack is done by the Williams (a father daughter team who’s been with the show since jump and when Casey was like 12)
Casey Lee Williams is actually the designated singer for most RWBY music, there are a couple others that pop in there occasionally, and she has a male backup singer that isn’t her dad. She also sung with her dad on several of these.
Lmao I got unreasonably excited when I heard you say "This Life is Mine" was coming up. It might be my favorite, and if it isn't, it's really damn close.
They have an album per season. The Williams NEVER miss. Definitely go and listen to the full versions of "From Shadows" (Black Trailer) and "I Burn" (Yellow Trailer, honestly only 10% gets used in it). A lot of reactor people like reacting to the whole lot after they finish each season 👀
You mentioned giving you more songs to listen to. I would suggest Guide My Way (Vol 9 song), Rising (Vol 6 intro song), Bad Luck Charm (Vol 4 song), Time to Say Goodbye (Vol 2 intro song), and Inside (Vol 9 intro song). There have been 9 volumes (seasons) so far for the show. (Potential for spoilers due to the nature of the songs' lyrics adding to the story being told in the show.)
I love how varied everyone's next RWBY song recommendations are. It really shows just how many absolute bangers there are in the soundtracks. I'd personally recommend Ignite, Hero and I May Fall. That way you can get a good variety of instrumentation and singers from across the whole show. I also recommend avoiding reacting to all the openings if you plan on watching the show, as they can be very spoiler-heavy.
All things must die, cold, treasure, celebrate, I'm the one, neon, die, inside, the edge, dream come true, big metal shoe, and boop are a few songs that I can recommend from the top of my head
As an older RWBY fan, who kinda stopped watching midway through Vol 8, I feel like the soundtrack tells the entire characters' story better than the show itself does😂
It does. Crewby are quite... amatures when it comes to writing and paying things of. As someone who kept watching though, I'd say V9 has pacing issues, but it still very interesting. (Also the OP slaps). Yeah, maybe just listen to the soundtrack and leave the show behind hahaha. I hope V10 get greenlit, but V9 was not bad.
@@lorettabes4553 fr, living vicariously through high energy reaction channels but I deadass loved every single season of the show, the hate for v4-v8 is honestly so uncalled for and I feel like those seasons have their own individual vibe to them
Casey Lee Williams is the main singer for the whole series. Keep in mind that she was 14 during season 1, and is now in charge of music from season 9 onwards.
Man lyrically, this life is mine is top 3 but none of these songs scrape the surface of what RWBY soundtracks have to offer. Knowing the story also helps when listening. The lyrics are some of the most thoughtfully written I've ever seen in music.
I few suggestions I have are Indomitable, Sky is Falling, and I Burn. Indomitable is slower than the usual RWBY songs but it has a great message, Sky is Falling is a fast-paced aggressive song, and I Burn is a song that just screams confidence.
it doesnt matter too much but if you plan on watching the show then the music explains things about the characters and its best to listen to the volume soundtracks after each season
You should do the songs by volume, because they kind of branch off into each other to tell the story that's going on in the background in the show, like red like roses part I and Part II, then Mirror Mirror Part I, II, III.
alright so more recommendations are: "Time to say Goodbye" "Caffeine" "Die" "All our days" "I May Fall" "Armed and Ready" "Cold" "Forever Fall" "Mirror Mirror" out of those, the ones closest to the same vibe you had going on in the video are: "Time to say Goodbye" "Caffeine" "Die" "Armed and Ready" "Mirror Mirror" and "I May fall" just cus they're similarly rocky and fast but fr do *not* sleep on the other ones, they really showcase Casey's vocals on a whole 'nother level like that girl can sing and "All our days" "Cold" "Forever fall" are like my absolute favourites, they're so well done
Hi, Scoot! Because I haven't seen it mentioned yet, I wanted to throw 'Gold' out there. Casey's vocal display in that particular song is soo pretty, it makes me happy every time I listen :) I'd also like to recommend: Die When It Falls Time to Say Goodbye I May Fall Divide These are a few that make me go "ooh" lol
All things must die, NEON, One thing, when it falls, and i may fall are good. And since you liked this life is mine you gotta watch path to isolation, weiss songs are my favorites tbh
This Will Be the Day - Opening theme for volume 1, mostly applies to Red but can widely relate to all of RWBY Red Like Roses Pt2 - A Red theme (three parts so far), this part focuses on her feelings about her dead mother. The singer's IRL mother sing's the mother's verses This Life is Mine - A White theme, assumed to be sung by White to her father Casey does the vast, vast majority of the singing but if you want to hear other vocalists Caleb Hyles sings 'Hero', Jeff Williams sings 'Bad Luck Charm' and the Four Maidens Quartet sings 'War' (though Casey is in the quartet too).
Man Imma be honest, my fav song was red like roses part 2 becuase it just hits differently, talking about ruby and her mother's death, it's like a shotgun blasted me in the heart, I even cried while hearing the song, I had both sadness because of how loss can feel and happiness because it makes me thank god for not feeling that loss at a young age and the music is strong, shows that no matter what happens we can still be strong.
RWBY songs that I recommend are Ignite, All Things Must Die, Divide, Die, One Thing, and Caffeine. Plus if you don’t mind a song mostly without lyrics RWBY vs FNKI is a good one.
Red Like Roses Pt. II always make me tear up as it reminds me of the conversation I wish I could have with my father who committed suicide after coming home from the war.
RWBY songs I absolutely recommend: Mirror, Mirror From Shadows I Burn Time to Say Goodbye Die, Sacrifice I'm the One Neon Divide Let's Just Live Like Morning Follows Night Armed and Ready Ignite Path to Isolation Smile All Things Must Die Rising Miracle One Thing Big Metal Shoe Nevermore Trust Love Hero War Celebrate Until the End Fear The Sky is Falling Friend Inside Checkmate Chatterbox Trapdoor Guide My Way The Edge Note: I tried to give a variety of types of songs. Not all of them are headbangers, but all are good. These are my favorite from each Volume. It just so happens that some of the Volumes have a lot of good music. Some of the lyric videos for the songs also give away minor spoilers for the show, so you have been warned. I also selected some songs that feature other artists. Most of the songs are still either just Casey or mostly Casey, but we get some other people singing as well.
I recommend "Hero" it's one of the only songs on the show not written by Jeff Williams but I think it was originally written by a fan of rwby and its one of my fav's from the series
Getting a like and subscribe from me! I loved your reaction to RWBY, I've loved this show for years and love Casey's vocals throughout the different seasons. Keep up the good content!
I wouldn't recommend reacting to all the openings because most are full of spoilers, but the first two openings are great to react to! You can also react to all the opening songs all on their own. This Will Be The Day was opening one, but if you wanna do the others the names are: Op2 - Time To Say Goodbye Op3 - When It Falls Op4 - Let's Just Live Op5 - The Trimuph Op6 - Rising Op7 - Trust Love Op8 - For Every Life Op9 - Inside
Or he shouldn't react to it at all since it's supporting a racist company that doesn't care for its employees and is run by cheaters and sexual deviants that prey in their own audience to not only keep funding their show despite being owned by a major company but also for sexual endeavors.
Nahhhh there’s a lot going on in them and if ur completely unaware of the story it’s doesn’t give much away and stuff that are “ spoiler” a lot of ppl over look it and unless they watch it back lots I think I would be ok for most
In case no one has added it, this is a link to Red Like Roses Part III. ua-cam.com/video/teb1hdi_5hE/v-deo.html It recently dropped as part of the season 9 soundtrack. The funny thing is the parallels between the singer and the character. Parts I/II were the child talking to the parent, while Part III is the stirrings of a woman talking to their parent. In the songs, Casey was a teenager working with her dad for Parts I/II, while for Part III she is an adult and taking up more of the full process. Enjoy.
Homie, come see me! RWBY is what led me down the rabbit hole. Not only was it the late Monty, whose action animation captured me with his Haloid and Dead Fantasy series', but also the talents of Jeff Williams (who did most of the composition for the entire seires, but also the growth of his daughter, Casey Lee, whose vocals that were witnessed growing more mature as the series went on. I would suggest doing a react to all the Openings next, then diving deeper into the different soundtracks that went with all the volumes. Spoiler alert, each sound track was constructed with advanced knowledge of the volumes they were doing them for, so the songs tell the story of each volume. Some even had deeper meanings, especially after Monty Passed away. Again, as a fan of the premise of the series (even if the story itself went a little south), the theme of this story and it's music still holds a place as one of the best collabs between a series and it's music composition. Hands down, no cap!
I propose the song "One Thing" since its about one of my favourite characters of the entire show ( top 2). And again the song doesn't miss, they never did tho
1 This Life is Mine 2 For Every Life 3 Sky Is Falling 4 Awake 5 Home 6 War 7 Divide 8 Die 9 The Truth 10 Red Like Roses Prt II My personal top ten for rwby songs ( Gonna change in two days when the vol 9 soundtrack drops tho)
Live chat during "Red Like Roses Pt. 2" was like "These are two girls singing!" lolololololol The song is being sung by Casey and her DAD Jeff Williams, who happens to have a very high alto singing voice... but make no mistake, all the music that we are getting for this song is 100% HIM! Casey was also 13/14 at the time of the recording and the song is about Ruby and her mother Summer within the show cannon... Caseys mom, who is also an established singer, would have been more appropriate to be on the track here with her daughter... but there was personal, behind the scenes stuff that stopped that from happening.
That IS Casey and her mom, not Casey and Jeff. Directly from the RWBY wiki page about Casey's mom: "Sandra "Sandy" Lee Casey is a singer/songwriter who provided vocals for several songs on the RWBY: Volume 1 Soundtrack, most notably singing joint lead on "Red Like Roses Part II" with her daughter Casey Lee Williams." From the RWBY Wikipedia page about Red Like Roses Part II: "Fittingly, the song's two vocalists happen to be mother and daughter, with Casey Lee Williams singing Ruby's part and Sandy Lee Casey singing Summer's."
My recommendations (as someone who listens to a LOT of RWBY music on a regular basis lol... Ignite War (has 4 Singers, including Casey) Nevermore Like Morning Follows Night (a duet with Lamar Hall and Casey) But also, if you want a song that is entirely without Casey Lee Williams (99% of the Music in RWBY is her or featuring her) then: Hero by Jeff Williams (featuring Caleb Hyles) which btw also goes hard.
Here are some song recommendations for you to check out by category. Team RWBY: It's my Turn (Weiss/White Song) Ignite (Yang/Yellow Song) From Shadows (Blake/Black Song) Rising (Volume 6 Opening/Group Song) Side Characters: Shine Like Morning Follows Night Bad Luck Charm Villains: I'm the One (Villain Duet) All Things Must Die Awake (Not technically from the OST, but is by Casey's band and was featured as a Villain theme later in the show)
Caffeine, Bad Luck Charm, One Thing, Nevermore, I Burn, and Boop for some of my favorites at least. also Casey sings at least 90% of the songs throughout the volumes, so gonna get a lot of her
A fun thing to do would be to just react to all 9 openings. More banger songs (all by Casey, as 95% of the soundrack is) and some content to theorize over
I Burn from the Yellow Trailer is one of my favorite RWBY songs of all time. I HIGHLY recommend it, tho make sure if you check it out it’s the full length song. Again, it’s called ‘I Burn’.
I love RWBY and it's soundtrack, the songs all sound great and just show that you really can't go wrong with them. They've got amazing songs for whatever situation whether that be sentimental moments with a song that may or may not make you cry, or god tier fight scenes with songs that will never fail to hype you up, whatever it is they've probably got it. I genuinely love all the song even if some of them aren't really my thing and I wouldn't normally listen to them but, aside from that, I will give you soem of my recommendations for song that you should listen to: Cafeine, Divide, Bad Luck, Ignite, Rising, Big Metal Shoe, Hero, and Sacrifice. These are some songs I love and think you should listen to ut you don't have to if you don't want to. These are just recommendations after all but you asked for some so I thought I'd just leave some of mine and hope you listen to at least some of them.
Most of the songs are written by Jeff Williams and are sung by him and/or his daughter Casey... One song per volume/season soundtrack normally features a rap by a guy called Lamar Hall (I may have spelt the name wrong). Casey's mother is the only other major guest vocalist (and only for Red Like Roses Part 2) until one song in volume 6, which plays right at the end of the season too lol. Volume 7 has a few guests though, plus Casey writes one of the songs too... Volume 8 features a song by Casey's band, OK Goodnight, then I think Casey took over writing songs for volume 9, if I understand correctly... I haven't seen volume 9 yet though. I'd be slightly careful about listening to the songs via youtube before getting past that volume of the show, because when some people make lyric videos, they might put somewhat spoilery pictures as the background... Some lyrics might potentially spoil stuff too... Watching openings past volume 3 before they appear in the show could also be potentially pretty spoilery as well... But if you want some more songs that would be great to react to, while also likely avoiding spoilers, maybe in different genres, I'd recommend checking out "Ignite", "Shine" and, for something very different and more on the slow end, maybe "Treasure"? That's a pretty song.... Be careful not to look at the comments for them.
if you wanna listen to songs for the other 2 girls then listen to from shadows, i burn and armed and ready. other openings that are great are time to say goodbye and inside. as for other songs just from the show i highly recommend all things must die and bad luck charm. but pretty much every rwby song is a banger
Caffeine is hype. If you want something different: Bumblebee or Boop (either song). The v9 Opening is also the 'new sound' of rwby. "I'm the one" is also hype, but could be spoilery for V2?
2:43 "Why's the screen getting dark? Oooooh-" Lol never thought I'd see somebody acknowledge my editing in a reaction video to the soundtrack.
AYOOO GOAT IS IN THE COMMENT SECTION

@@ravenna6543I also like the vol-9 stuff but I had to listen to some of the songs a couple times to realy enjoy them

Red like Roses II is a duet between Casey and her mother, playing the parts of Ruby and her mother.
The way he understood the story just from "This Life is Mine" is how you know the song is perfectly written. Insane.
RWBY has an amazing soundtrack for each volume, the music is made by Jeff Williams, the singer is his daughter Casey Williams, and the second singer in the duet song "Red Like Roses Part II" is Sandy Lee Casey, her mother. Casey does almost all of the vocals and is incredibly skilled, coming from a family of musicians and training since she was super young, only twelve years old when she started recording music for RWBY (For anyone saying the age is wrong, she stated herself that she was 12, and the red Trailer was produced and made before she turned 13).
For song recommendations;
Caffeine - The theme for another, older group than RWBY in the show
Neon - A song from another character in the show that one of the girls fights in a tournament. She's great at trash talk, so it's a dance club diss track.
Indomitable - A song in tribute to the original creator of RWBY who passed during the creation of Volume 3
RWBY is also made by people who blatantly disregarded the creators wish for the series, proceeded to make it terrible, have a history of racism, and don't care for their own employees since they still never apologized to the original voice actor of Qrow despite there being literally no issue with him.

there are 9 soundtracks now and it would be cool to see this turn into a series of listening to RWBY music. That would be awsome!
bad luck charm, armed and ready, path to isolation, divide, like morning follows night. Those are some peak ones i’d say
She sang the soundtrack when she was 15! Her dad also writes all the songs
Did you end up watching the show?
It would be interesting to hear your reaction to the OST now that you have the context of the series.
All things must die, NEON, One thing, when it falls, and i may fall are good. And since you liked this life is mine you gotta watch path to isolation, weiss songs are my favorites tbh
HE WASNT READY FR RWBY SONGS GO TOO HARD😭😭😭
You really need to watch it, it is honestly so good !!
This Will Be the Day - Opening theme for volume 1, mostly applies to Red but can widely relate to all of RWBY
Red Like Roses Pt2 - A Red theme (three parts so far), this part focuses on her feelings about her dead mother. The singer's IRL mother sing's the mother's verses
This Life is Mine - A White theme, assumed to be sung by White to her father
Casey does the vast, vast majority of the singing but if you want to hear other vocalists Caleb Hyles sings 'Hero', Jeff Williams sings 'Bad Luck Charm' and the Four Maidens Quartet sings 'War' (though Casey is in the quartet too).
Subbing to see where this goes. Hopefully you enjoy this beautiful creation not for its wacky animation or art, but for its story.
7:40 pretty sure the second singer is Casey's actual mother if my not mistaken.
Ironwoods "Hero" is another great song from Rwby
This will be the day imo should’ve been a different song recommended but I’m glad he liked it!
Yes yes I’m so happy he caught the philosophy behind This Life is Mind it’s SO GENIUS
Man Imma be honest, my fav song was red like roses part 2 becuase it just hits differently, talking about ruby and her mother's death, it's like a shotgun blasted me in the heart, I even cried while hearing the song, I had both sadness because of how loss can feel and happiness because it makes me thank god for not feeling that loss at a young age and the music is strong, shows that no matter what happens we can still be strong.
RWBY songs that I recommend are Ignite, All Things Must Die, Divide, Die, One Thing, and Caffeine. Plus if you don’t mind a song mostly without lyrics RWBY vs FNKI is a good one.
Red Like Roses part 2 is supposed to be a talk between a daughter and her dead mother. The soundtracks for all the volumes are amazing.
Red Like Roses Pt. II always make me tear up as it reminds me of the conversation I wish I could have with my father who committed suicide after coming home from the war.
i saw someone recommend Caffeine, ABSOLUTELY AGREE
Also, This Life Is Mine goes so fucking hard its unbelievable
RWBY songs I absolutely recommend:
Mirror, Mirror
From Shadows
I Burn
Time to Say Goodbye
Die, Sacrifice
I'm the One
Neon
Divide
Let's Just Live
Like Morning Follows Night
Armed and Ready
Ignite
Path to Isolation
Smile
All Things Must Die
Rising
Miracle
One Thing
Big Metal Shoe
Nevermore
Trust Love
Hero
War
Celebrate
Until the End
Fear
The Sky is Falling
Friend
Inside
Checkmate
Chatterbox
Trapdoor
Guide My Way
The Edge
Note: I tried to give a variety of types of songs. Not all of them are headbangers, but all are good. These are my favorite from each Volume. It just so happens that some of the Volumes have a lot of good music. Some of the lyric videos for the songs also give away minor spoilers for the show, so you have been warned. I also selected some songs that feature other artists. Most of the songs are still either just Casey or mostly Casey, but we get some other people singing as well.
I recommend "Hero" it's one of the only songs on the show not written by Jeff Williams but I think it was originally written by a fan of rwby and its one of my fav's from the series
"die," "i'm the one," and "ignite" fr worth a listen
You gotta hear the triumph and armed and ready
Getting a like and subscribe from me! I loved your reaction to RWBY, I've loved this show for years and love Casey's vocals throughout the different seasons. Keep up the good content!
Caffeine, One Thing, Smile, Boop. Those are a few of my favorites.
I wouldn't recommend reacting to all the openings because most are full of spoilers, but the first two openings are great to react to!
You can also react to all the opening songs all on their own. This Will Be The Day was opening one, but if you wanna do the others the names are:
Op2 - Time To Say Goodbye
Op3 - When It Falls
Op4 - Let's Just Live
Op5 - The Trimuph
Op6 - Rising
Op7 - Trust Love
Op8 - For Every Life
Op9 - Inside
Or he shouldn't react to it at all since it's supporting a racist company that doesn't care for its employees and is run by cheaters and sexual deviants that prey in their own audience to not only keep funding their show despite being owned by a major company but also for sexual endeavors.
Nahhhh there’s a lot going on in them and if ur completely unaware of the story it’s doesn’t give much away and stuff that are “ spoiler” a lot of ppl over look it and unless they watch it back lots I think I would be ok for most
In case no one has added it, this is a link to Red Like Roses Part III. ua-cam.com/video/teb1hdi_5hE/v-deo.html It recently dropped as part of the season 9 soundtrack. The funny thing is the parallels between the singer and the character. Parts I/II were the child talking to the parent, while Part III is the stirrings of a woman talking to their parent. In the songs, Casey was a teenager working with her dad for Parts I/II, while for Part III she is an adult and taking up more of the full process. Enjoy.
Homie, come see me! RWBY is what led me down the rabbit hole. Not only was it the late Monty, whose action animation captured me with his Haloid and Dead Fantasy series', but also the talents of Jeff Williams (who did most of the composition for the entire seires, but also the growth of his daughter, Casey Lee, whose vocals that were witnessed growing more mature as the series went on.
I would suggest doing a react to all the Openings next, then diving deeper into the different soundtracks that went with all the volumes.
Spoiler alert, each sound track was constructed with advanced knowledge of the volumes they were doing them for, so the songs tell the story of each volume. Some even had deeper meanings, especially after Monty Passed away.
Again, as a fan of the premise of the series (even if the story itself went a little south), the theme of this story and it's music still holds a place as one of the best collabs between a series and it's music composition. Hands down, no cap!
An all time favorite RWBY song of mine has to be Nevermore. Time to Say Goodbye, Touch The Sky, and The Sky is Falling are also a good ones
“I may fall”, “I burn” , when it falls (even though its kind of a spoiler song)
I propose the song "One Thing" since its about one of my favourite characters of the entire show ( top 2). And again the song doesn't miss, they never did tho
From shadows by casey williams its blake's theme the girl with black whos trailer was before yellow.
Armed and ready.
One thing.
Ignite.
War.
From shadows.
Die.
Shine.
When it falls.
Rising.
Any of the openings.
I'm the one
Bad luck charm
Caffeine
One thing
Are some of my personal favorites but all the songs are a great listen to
1 This Life is Mine
2 For Every Life
3 Sky Is Falling
4 Awake
5 Home
6 War
7 Divide
8 Die
9 The Truth
10 Red Like Roses Prt II
My personal top ten for rwby songs ( Gonna change in two days when the vol 9 soundtrack drops tho)
Live chat during "Red Like Roses Pt. 2" was like "These are two girls singing!"
lolololololol
The song is being sung by Casey and her DAD Jeff Williams, who happens to have a very high alto singing voice... but make no mistake, all the music that we are getting for this song is 100% HIM!
Casey was also 13/14 at the time of the recording and the song is about Ruby and her mother Summer within the show cannon... Caseys mom, who is also an established singer, would have been more appropriate to be on the track here with her daughter... but there was personal, behind the scenes stuff that stopped that from happening.
That IS Casey and her mom, not Casey and Jeff.
Directly from the RWBY wiki page about Casey's mom: "Sandra "Sandy" Lee Casey is a singer/songwriter who provided vocals for several songs on the RWBY: Volume 1 Soundtrack, most notably singing joint lead on "Red Like Roses Part II" with her daughter Casey Lee Williams."
From the RWBY Wikipedia page about Red Like Roses Part II: "Fittingly, the song's two vocalists happen to be mother and daughter, with Casey Lee Williams singing Ruby's part and Sandy Lee Casey singing Summer's."
My recommendations (as someone who listens to a LOT of RWBY music on a regular basis lol...
Ignite
War (has 4 Singers, including Casey)
Nevermore
Like Morning Follows Night (a duet with Lamar Hall and Casey)
But also, if you want a song that is entirely without Casey Lee Williams (99% of the Music in RWBY is her or featuring her) then:
Hero by Jeff Williams (featuring Caleb Hyles) which btw also goes hard.
Here are some song recommendations for you to check out by category.
Team RWBY:
It's my Turn (Weiss/White Song)
Ignite (Yang/Yellow Song)
From Shadows (Blake/Black Song)
Rising (Volume 6 Opening/Group Song)
Side Characters:
Shine
Like Morning Follows Night
Bad Luck Charm
Villains:
I'm the One (Villain Duet)
All Things Must Die
Awake (Not technically from the OST, but is by Casey's band and was featured as a Villain theme later in the show)
Let's Just Live will forever be my favorite
Caffeine, Bad Luck Charm, One Thing, Nevermore, I Burn, and Boop for some of my favorites at least.
also Casey sings at least 90% of the songs throughout the volumes, so gonna get a lot of her
you NEED to do:
Lusus naturae
divide
miracle
fear
for every life
sacrifice
hero
A fun thing to do would be to just react to all 9 openings. More banger songs (all by Casey, as 95% of the soundrack is) and some content to theorize over
nah, there's tons of spoilers in the openings, he should watch the series and get to each organically
Definitely the season 2 opening song, called time to say goodbye. Also you could do a video reacting to all the openings.
OHH I LOVE RWBY I WASNT EXPECTING THIS
I Burn from the Yellow Trailer is one of my favorite RWBY songs of all time. I HIGHLY recommend it, tho make sure if you check it out it’s the full length song. Again, it’s called ‘I Burn’.
the song "friend" is bit spoilery but it made me cry. highly recommend
My personal favourites would have to be
Nevermore, caffeine, time to say goodbye, die, from shadows, miracle, I’m the one, and all things must die
One of my fave RWBY sons is "I Burn".
Man. Back when rwby had so much heart and potential in it.
my personal favorite song is "Rising" bro its so good to me
I love RWBY and it's soundtrack, the songs all sound great and just show that you really can't go wrong with them. They've got amazing songs for whatever situation whether that be sentimental moments with a song that may or may not make you cry, or god tier fight scenes with songs that will never fail to hype you up, whatever it is they've probably got it. I genuinely love all the song even if some of them aren't really my thing and I wouldn't normally listen to them but, aside from that, I will give you soem of my recommendations for song that you should listen to: Cafeine, Divide, Bad Luck, Ignite, Rising, Big Metal Shoe, Hero, and Sacrifice. These are some songs I love and think you should listen to ut you don't have to if you don't want to. These are just recommendations after all but you asked for some so I thought I'd just leave some of mine and hope you listen to at least some of them.
"Dream come true" is a great song too
All things must die is my favorite rwby song so I’d recommend that one
Most of the songs are written by Jeff Williams and are sung by him and/or his daughter Casey... One song per volume/season soundtrack normally features a rap by a guy called Lamar Hall (I may have spelt the name wrong). Casey's mother is the only other major guest vocalist (and only for Red Like Roses Part 2) until one song in volume 6, which plays right at the end of the season too lol. Volume 7 has a few guests though, plus Casey writes one of the songs too... Volume 8 features a song by Casey's band, OK Goodnight, then I think Casey took over writing songs for volume 9, if I understand correctly... I haven't seen volume 9 yet though.
I'd be slightly careful about listening to the songs via youtube before getting past that volume of the show, because when some people make lyric videos, they might put somewhat spoilery pictures as the background... Some lyrics might potentially spoil stuff too... Watching openings past volume 3 before they appear in the show could also be potentially pretty spoilery as well...
But if you want some more songs that would be great to react to, while also likely avoiding spoilers, maybe in different genres, I'd recommend checking out "Ignite", "Shine" and, for something very different and more on the slow end, maybe "Treasure"? That's a pretty song.... Be careful not to look at the comments for them.
if you wanna listen to songs for the other 2 girls then listen to from shadows, i burn and armed and ready.
other openings that are great are time to say goodbye and inside.
as for other songs just from the show i highly recommend all things must die and bad luck charm.
but pretty much every rwby song is a banger
For a RWBY song that tells a story I would heavily recommend Smile
This Life is Mine is by far my favorite RWBY song.
Yea these songs are bangers
You gotta watch the rest of the series too
Your the third one here
@@VVDZ-JJXRoI’m on top of this shit fr
Shows literally a fest heap of trash
All the soundtracks of RWBY is awesome.
i may fall, shine, and i burn are all really good songs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Caffeine is hype.
If you want something different: Bumblebee or Boop (either song).
The v9 Opening is also the 'new sound' of rwby.
"I'm the one" is also hype, but could be spoilery for V2?
RWBY songs I'd recommend include I Burn, I May Fall, The Triumph, I'm The One...
i think we should recommend some early songs first since later songs sometimes references earlier songs.
