Savior of the Waking World

[ZeclipSE1]

Homestuck has some completely incredible music. I love this song a lot ahhhhh

[TheMusicalPsycho]

Okay, 0:00 - 0:15 is it just me or does that bit give the aura/feeling of being in an abandoned city, and the radio tower is only just now losing power because it was on when everyone disappeared?

[TickTockTimeTraveler]

@TheMusicalPsycho

I love that image. I always think of empty oak forests, with plain blue skies above, but your's is way better. I'm totally using your vision in my next project for art class. :'D

[TheGallade42]

@TheMusicalPsycho I think of something like that. If it was like a movie, the camera would start on a radio, playing, then dying. The orchestra kicks in and the camera pans out, then zooms in on John... and then you know the rest.

[FullMetalAwesome7]

Okay those top comments make me laugh really loudly, at 1:30 in the morning. I hope those two are happy.

[ALEXhatena]

@G0ATFAC3 Maybe it could be a metal percussion remix of this.

[Macluv519]

I could listen to HS music forever :3

[BatFifty3]

dyslexic moment: "savior of the wanking world". i got sad when i miss-read it. :c

[Wolfmasterofshadows]

@BatFifty3 Man, I feel you :C

[littlelamchop]

@Cabbagecabrera Actually that advice was so cheap but w/e bro.

[littlelamchop]

@Cabbagecabrera Words of advice if you do decide to read Homestuck; make sure you understand what's going on! Don't skim. Do not give into the tempt to skip the intermission, you miss so much! Keep on the chill side of the fandom. The beginning is a bit hard to get past, but it's well worth it.

[jazxsora]

Damn, This reminds me of kingdom hearts. 

[Cabbagecabrera]

This really makes me want to start reading Homestuck.

[Zralf]

@Cabbagecabrera do it, that is the best webcomic i ever read, and i read a LOT of webcomics. plus it's not entirely a webcomic, there's plenty of animations, some in flash, many of them longer than 2 minutes (which is alot for flash) theese soundtracks are in the flashes, and the sroty is so rich, nearly every little thing has a consequence later, or is of some importance.

[SML879]

@Zralf "many of them are longer than 2 minutes"

And several are longer than 5. Then again one is longer than 10. (HINT: [S] Cascade)

But yeah Homestuck is very much worth reading. Great music, rich storyline, overall a great webcomic.

[nebidify]

@Cabbagecabrera You should totally do it. Don't feel discouraged if the first act is a bit slow! It gets amazing VERY soon on!

[BamBamBib]

@Cabbagecabrera Read it.

[Cabbagecabrera]

I may consider reading Homestuck just 'cause of this song.

[AnonymousJustified]

@Cabbagecabrera

There's more where that came from...

[Boy10Dio]

never read homestuck, this song might convince me to

[AsnRandomness]

[S] John: Fuck this I'm not going down without a fight. RISE UP.

[YumilX2]

I love how it slows down at the start. It's like "He's dead. It's over."

And THEN he rises up and you're

YES

HELL YES

[marcusdranz]

@YumilX2 HELL FUCKING YES

[NyakuneYami]

No matter how far into the story I go or how many amazing songs I become addicted to, at the end of the day, this one is my ultimate favorite. It's somehow so inspiring to me. Even a goofy kid like John can grow into a hero.

[IchimotoKun]

I can't quite tell why but this is probably my favorite song out of all the albums so far. :S

[rightleftwinger]

listen to doctor, then this, then savior of the dreaming dead.

[maxero]

It's been a long time since i didn't listen a song so amazing.

Manly tears were shed

[PokingSealStuff]

I can hold my composure through the entirety of [S] JOHN. RISE UP.... Until I see WV standing there. Looking like he's about to cry. Then I am a wreck.

[FragrantRain]

@PokingSealStuff

Yeah... I have such a soft spot for WV. He's just so god damn adorable!

[thesuckssobad]

i love this one soooo much

[lethraxin]

@rose8213. It's because of what happened, right? Happy, awesome and heartbreakingly sad a

[RandomGstudios]

@lethraxin I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW HE DIED IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! PLZ EXPLANE!

[lethraxin]

@RandomGstudios SPOILER

[lethraxin]

@lethraxin Jack teleported up when he was sleeping on his quest bed and stabbed the crap out of him.

[G0ATFAC3]

Jane Crocker needs "Savior of The Baking World."

Seriously.

[elronman]

@G0ATFAC3 [S] Bread: Rise up

[GrandGetsuga0]

@G0ATFAC3

OH YES YES YES.

[Maphysto]

@G0ATFAC3 I endorse this whole-heartedly.

[dccmpbll]

@G0ATFAC3 [S] Jane: Blow up

[WORSHIPxCHAOS]

@dccmpbll :(

[AnonymousJustified]

@G0ATFAC3

I now want to make that and enter it in Hussie's contest.

[447u]

@G0ATFAC3 @elronman 256/57 thumbs, AH has got to do it now.

[maxrocks14]

This gives me a very Kingdom Hearts feeling. Oddly enough, a lot of HS things do.

[darkseraph2009]

@maxrocks14 Methinks it has something to do with themes related to a group of kids saving the world tend to all invoke a more intense serious feeling than that of things with adults, seeing as having kids as the saviors not only implies a coming of age, but a struggle against corruption which can be symbolism to the corruption to the world which is basically insurmountable except by the next generation of children, and only if the current generation is willing to condition the next to this task.

[Rose8213]

i get so emotional whenever i hear this song for sum reason...especially at 0:46 with the preety flutes c':

[SuperSpecialJawsome]

I think of this less of a Doctor Remix and more the official Godtier theme.

[SupermarineIII]

Love the composition. Sounds like something that might be used in an anime or a FF game.

[Raikume2]

I heart this song XD...

You won't believe how many times I watch the cascade!!

[Beriorn]

John 4:13

"This is how we know that we live in him and he in us, He has given us some of His Spirit*."

(*: Literal, other translations are Breath or Wind).

Hussie, you magnificent bastard. You planned this all along, didn't you?

[fault3k]

@Beriorn I don't think he'd want his work to be associated with something as poorly written as the Bible.

[fault3k]

@Beriorn No fictional material is safe from the Huss.

[Beriorn]

@fault3k Neither is Jane.

Goddamnit, Andrew.

[fault3k]

@Beriorn Oh come on, I couldn't have been the only one who was like "welp she's dead again" as soon as I saw her on prospit.

[Pyrotechnically]

I usually hate it when people encourage arguments by saying that they hate it when people argue on YT video comments.

But I'm going to do it anyway.

I mean, HONESTLY? Religious argument about homestuck? Those of you who don't believe in God, no need to antagonize those that do. And vice versa.

[VagabondCookie]

Really what's happened is Hussie's taken his own stories and taken the internet's talent and combined the two. Ever since he started using fan material the quality of the comic has gone up immensely.

And yet

we still

have

LIFDOFF

haha oh man geez

[CoraTheGinger]

What made me laugh about this religious argument:

a) The person defending Christ's existence didn't say God himself was real, but that Christ was a living person who spoke his mind. Never did he say God was real or any such thing, but that there was once a man that lived and said stuff about stuff he felt was true.

b) This is Homestuck, dammit!

c) Amabo Kcorb.

[girugamesshu42]

Am I the only one who this that it sounds like examination 2001 from pw at 18 seconds?

[Kirbytroid]

@girugamesshu42 :O YES!

I didn't see it until I found myself humming the tune, and managed to accidentally move on to the examination theme.

[Kirbytroid]

This is so very awesome.

[SleepayGui]

I can see the entire thing play out in my head as the music plays....

[zeoxyman]

@SleepayGui Yeah, same. The other flashes struck me as "awesome", but it was this one that I think was the most striking. Probably the best match of flash to music, too.

[TheNonappeasablePear]

I don't think there's really any need for religious argument. Why's that here anyway? This is Homestuck.

[Introbulus]

> JOHN, RISE UP.

[VakerHest]

I love this so much. I LOVE IT.

[G0ATFAC3]

This music makes that whole ridiculous argument seem awesome while reading it.

[RedLatias]

@G0ATFAC3 ... hehe.

That made me lol.

[RedLatias]

I despise coming to this song and scrolling down to see a page full of religious opinions and/or facts.

C'mon guys. It's a HOMESTUCK SOUNDTRACK.

Appreciate the music!

[Geekygirl456]

They told me I could be anything.

So I became a god.

[Penningtontj]

While I don't want to get into this kind of argument here, I'll say that there isn't any contemporary, non-biblical references to him ever existing. So "fictional" is totally applicable.

[McImoi]

Simply Amazing.

[Howlsundaestudios]

this one made me cry

[Penningtontj]

I love the whole song, but the bit at 0:59 when it really kicks in is my favourite part.

[xxrawritsrachelxx]

I listen to this and most Homestuck stuff while studying. It makes me feel like I'm in a movie with fucking epic background music. :I /biggest dork ever/

[a11i50n2202]

I get chills simply listening to this song..

[Pyrotechnically]

Why can't this song be on my iPod.

So much love.

So.

Much.

[DeathMachineDAS]

WHY CAN'T THIS BE LONGER? D:

[tonfaedniya]

Savior of The Dreaming Dead and this should be use together in one EOA flash.

[SixOutOfAHundred]

@tonfaedniya Your wish has been granted.

[TheLionHammer]

Fuck is it weird that I just start tearing up right at the beginning

I just love the melody

[magpiedragon127]

The one person who disliked is deaf.

[elronman]

@magpiedragon127 They can still read jerk. :L

[Cupubeck]

tears. so many.

[NeonHeartpenguin]

When I die

I want the priest to say

That I have become God Tier.

[DarkStarInsomniac]

I love how everyone's all epic and Jade's...asleep.

Guess that's her way of being epic.

[Andy23497]

@DarkStarInsomniac She is being epic in this moment, but she's in Prospit.

[Iydak]

@DarkStarInsomniac

well she was the first to have access to the dream clouds.

[Kwoute]

and. well i guess if you are reading this you're already dead from the meteors or something, but if you guys see this message tell my cousins and my friends: sorry i left you guys behind. this stupid fucking game ruined everything i ever loved. goodbye.

[Ironstringz]

This whole "John is Jesus" theory is kind of funny in hindsight, considering that we now know that Karkat is the second coming of the troll equivalent of Jesus.

[shadowcatgc]

@Ironstringz John and Karkat should fight. Human Jesus vs Troll Jesus!

[Chrisa105]

@Ironstringz Which is epic on every level of everything.

[ihave2cows]

@Ironstringz

oh god yes

[killerkirbydude]

@Ironstringz

Jegus. Karkat is Jegus.

[ItsCalledAZombie]

holy fffffffffffffff

this song makes me cry so hard

[lilo19951995]

i get teary eyed lol

[xCherryPanda]

@lilo19951995 Same...

[Excallyburr]

@bunnibender1125 ...HOW DID YOU FIGURE THIS OUT?!

[2ndMillenium]

massive goosebumps at 0:58 oh jeez this is a powerful bit of music

[SolarTimeGod101]

RIP Wrinkle Fucker

[VromNath]

Thank you Vriska!

[pungentstench91]

I remember being awfully sad watching John die, but it quickly escalated into happiness as I watched him go God-teir.

:'D

[Harmon2]

All of my tears.

All of them.

[genericity]

why do you people have to try and bring christianity into everything

jesus fucking christ, it's its own story, not a rehash of the bible

[lishakara]

@genericity

To some people, everything is a rehash of the bible :q

[CSDragon31]

@genericity Note the verse chater/number, and that we're dealing with John. Then look up 413 on the homestuck wiki.

It can't be a coincidence, man! XP

[Bananawawa]

I have this and then Dreaming Dead. They're so epic together.

[DoodlezNStuff]

This flash gave me chills man. This song is so amazing. ; w ;

[paranoidude]

I listened to this song and knew that there is a gog.

[KeiraKoresh]

Everyone who implies that John is Jesus is spewing blasphemy. No, John is Jegus.

[CMDmusic]

Definitely my favorite song from Homestuck, with Rex Duodecim Angelus just a little behind.

[OrgXIIIReject]

I have to say, I kind of hate homestuck. But I'm willing to forgive any series that can produce music this amazing, and admit maybe I'm missing out on something awsome. Thanks for surprising me with something cool.

[hunterkllrb]

@OrgXIIIReject check out some of the videos Andrew has made.

For example, the one for this one is really awesome. Although it wouldn't make much sense to you if you haven't read it, but if you just look up [S] JOHN: RISE UP. you'll find what im talking about.

[Bananawawa]

@OrgXIIIReject HOW COULD YOU HATE HOMESTUCK?! Hating homestuck is like...Hating Breathing!

Kidding. You're perfectly entitled to your opinion, I'm just bored.

[WingZero1828]

@OrgXIIIReject PURGE THE NON-BELIEVER.

[MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

@OrgXIIIReject How much of it have you read?

[OrgXIIIReject]

@MANJYOMETHUNDER111

Admittedly, not too much. every time I try, it's like reading a brick wall. I don't hate the comic itself, more I'm totally neutral toward it. I just kinda get sick of the fandom. It. Is. EVERYWHERE.

[MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

@OrgXIIIReject XD Yep. Sorry about that.

[KHfanfiction13]

I absolutely love this song.

[SydneySkittlez]

John. Listen to me man. I want you, no, NEED YOU, to know.

That if you're honestly dead.

I'm going to sleep.

And I can't gaurentee i'm going to wake up.

[TwinArmagedons]

JOHN.

GET THE FUCK UP AND STOP PRANKING PEOPLE WITH YOUR FAKE BLOOD, OR I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL CRY.

[KalasShinra]

@TwinArmagedons He can't be dead. We've already seen a scene where he talks to Karkat from the land of Flame and Gears. With Lunchmuffs. From the future.

[cornnugget]

@KalasShinra ...I see what you did there.

[Bananawawa]

@KalasShinra I didn't actually see that page...Do you know the link?

[xLuchigox]

BAWWW JOHN

YOU BETTER RISE THE HELL UP AGAIN OR I WILL CREY

[joodude]

JOHN.

RISE UP.

AGAIN.

[BoundShackles]

wøighosuadhgøahsdfn JOHN NOOOO

YOU RISE UP AGAIN YES YOU DO.

IT'S JUST A FLESHWOUND ;A;

JACK BARELY HIT YOU

RISE JOHN. RISE!

[SilencedBTM]

This song is so great. Every time I listen to it I get chills. Especially if I watch the animation that used it.

[Loz8900]

So can anybody tell me what exactly this is? Are they like a video game cover type group? Or just make video game style music, or what? Lol whatever it is, it's frickin awesome!

[ace94d]

@Loz8900 This is music made for the webcomic "Homestuck". Try typing in "MS Paint Adventures" into Google to learn more.

[Loz8900]

@ace94d Ahhh okay lol thanks. I wasn't too sure what was goin on here!

[ace94d]

@Loz8900 No problem man.

[RadianSCT]

@ace94d I love how surprising it can be to learn of a webcomic having its own albums and stuff. Especially such epic ones. :D

[duckmanham]

That is an unbelievably badass name for a song.

[Cantemes]

I've been saying someone needs to give WV a cookie >.>

this song isn't long enough

[MegaManStarForceFan]

You all get thumbs up on your comments from me.

John will be the heir..

[Eeldium]

@MegaManStarForceFan No, he IS the Heir now.

[thewolfPrince]

[s] JOHN. RISE UP

[GetTheSharkRepellent]

John 4:13

"And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world."

"Savior of the world."

"Savior of the (waking) world."

John is fucking Jesus.

[8rook8]

@GetTheSharkRepellent Its the other way around, Jesus is based on John. and if you dont believe me you're either forgetting that Homestuck is part of paradox space or you haven't read Homestuck.

[sillygramcracker]

@8rook8

Wouldn't it make more sense for Earth's religious figures to be based on the trolls somehow (sort of like the Western Zodiac)?

[DocAKATheDoctor]

@GetTheSharkRepellent

Dad confirmed for

[spoiler]God[/spoiler]

[Eagle0600]

@GetTheSharkRepellent: Could Jesus do the Windy Thing? I think not, my friend.

@GetTheSharkRepellent If John is Jesus...

Dad is God, and Lord English is Satan?
