Homestuck Vol. 7 - Saviour of the Dreaming Dead

[MetaHughdo]

HELL YES. HELL. FUCKING. YES.

[MegaWowful]

If I die I want this as my funeral song.

[MoonrayDrake]

The part where the bells start makes me shiver everytime. Without fail.

[Kingofeurope]

This should play when the world ends.

[NataliePlz]

Jane Crocker: Savior of the Baking Bread

[Magnetohydrodynamics]

This was like the second best part of [S] Cascade

[TheShieldsMD]

COME ON COME ON EVERYBODY SAY NANANA NA NA

COME ON COME ON EVERYBODY SAY YEAH!

[AsnRandomness]

Gone with the Wind.

That phrase is basically John becoming the Heir of Breath.

[Zralf]

@AsnRandomness shoooooooossshsh,, spoilers man, spoilers.

[AsnRandomness]

@Zralf Oh yes, I just spilled the beans. *zips lips together*

[profskitty]

@AsnRandomness bad dog!!

[AsnRandomness]

@profskitty Sorry. *especially how your name is profskitty* *snickers*

[profskitty]

@AsnRandomness lol, someone actually got where the name came from, i'm urprised

[AsnRandomness]

@profskitty Trololol :D

[TheChrissieK]

i don't even know how to say how much i adore this song! i can literally feel it do something in my brain towards the end! lol makes me happy~

[RomanianVampyre]

listening to this soundtrack makes me want to go do something epic.

[YumilX2]

My favourite part of this song is 3:30 when the bells come in like a countdown. It gets me excited and brings back memories. Everytime that bit starts I start counting on one hand and shouting "29! 28! 27!....." in my head. LOVE IT! FAVED!

[Goatmon]

Easily my favorite part of Cascade. :)

[TheGiantLadyBug]

*cries silently*

[RobotZombieXenophobe]

This sounds like a remix of showtime, lulz

[SolDollmaster]

Jizz in my pants at 3:30

[BamBamBib]

This + At the Price of Oblivion + Descend + Rex Duodecim Angelus (all remixed of course) NEEDS to be the final boss theme. It would kick so much ass. Just imagine the post-scratch kids and the surviving trolls + John, Jade, Rose, and Dave facing off against Jack Noir or Lord English to something like that. WOW.

[YumilX2]

@BamBamBib Honestly I think it would be this + Cascade +Sunslammer for the first form of the final boss, and then the second would be Black Hole/Green Sun + Rex Duodecim Angelus + Beatdown + SHOWTIME (taking prominence out of those themes). It would remind you of what the kids have been through.

ALso, it would be ffreaking awesome.

[naymless1]

@YumilX2 I think your forgetting some Playing The Wind in there.

[jwp137]

wwoww this is gonna start makin me cry

[TheWarnerSister]

The CLANG part that starts in at 3:30 makes me think of Hephaestus in his workshop. :D

[xJeffTheKillerx]

So Fucking Powerful.

[insertusernamehere8D]

Good riff. Best song. <3

[YumilX2]

@insertusernamehere8D This song, dedicated to bec...

[rampant1apart]

3:14 is when Jade gets to ~work~ in the way only a Witch can, and that's when you realize she's seeing all the confluences of incredibly important events right there with you.

Also, I want to see what the Witch of Space and the Knight of Time can do together when they put their minds to it.

[YumilX2]

@rampant1apart What can they do together? Be awesome, beat the crap out of Lord English, Become the deities of the Homestuck world.

Oh wait, they already did the last one.

[charm3dkitten]

I guess you could say that Jade...

*sunglasses*

Unleashed the power of the Sun.

YYYEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

[Goatmon]

This whole piece is fantastic. But the version that appears during Cascade is somehow turns it up to 11.

[YumilX2]

JAAAAADE!!!!  ! ! ! !!

[stencilsparkler]

if only this song were 2 seconds longer

[StarShade]

Jade, shrink my world and take me away. <3

[ZephyBlaze77]

PW:AA Examination.

If anyone knows what I'm talking about... Kudos.

[FizzyMilkyway]

Omg i just had to pause the song because anything that reminds me of the flash makes me cry :C

[Beriorn]

They told them they could be anything they wanted.

SO THEY BECAME A PATHEON.

[YumilX2]

@Beriorn Yes, yes they did didn't they?

Personally "Dog Tier" Jade is my favourite out of all the god tiers...

[wikisome]

I think Cascade blew all of our collective minds...I blame this song

[shadowcatgc]

The moment this song came on, I was like "oh man, someone's gonna go God Tier, aren't they?"

and then SUDDENLY JADE and I think I broke part of my lung squealing.

[Skleeful]

my feelings were everywhere when i heard this in [s] cascade.

[wingedhybrid16]

@Skleeful I know, right? This is my favorite homestuck song to date, and then when it came on for [S] Cascade... I was blown away. 8D Words couldn't describe my reaction. LoL

[Kodama867]

@Skleeful I cried manly tears, to be honest. Didn't think it would happen after seeing John grow up into such a splendid man.

[LillyTheOtter]

i always imagined this as "the song that would be used if dave was ever able to reach god tier"

and look what happened

[Goatmon]

I am so glad Andrew used this in Cascade.

SO. GLAD.

[Penningtontj]

@Goatmon I know what you mean. When Hussie said that the music for EoS 5.2 (Cascade) wasn't finished yet, I thought that meant that this peice wouldn't be in it.

One of the few times in my life where I've been so glad to be so wrong.

[Pyrotechnically]

I flip out every time I hear this song. I literally want to scream out loud. That's how flipping epic it is.

[AoiYukinoMisharu]

I love the use of this song during Cascade, epic

[pigfish99]

the album art makes sense.

The bomb is in the derse meteor.

Dave and rose are the pilots, on their beds, knowing this task will be oblivion.

They created the green sun.

But they would be doing the work of gods, while doing so.

[artuno1207]

GOD JADE MAKES PLANETS HER BITCH

[Urthdigger]

Dog tier jade is win

[StrawberryGiraffes]

JADE <33

[Aridria]

IT IS IN THE EOA5. This sing has earned a spot as my favorite song, hands down. IT is the most epic thing ever. I thought it was a silly dream for me to think it wouldn't be in the EOA. Hussie be proving my sillyness is not needed. X33

[Nebulathefox]

I nearly squealed in joy hearing this in the EOA Animation. best, song, ever.

[nathalie86ll]

You guys have no idea how hard I flipped my shit at this song being in [S] Cascade. ;w; SO AMAZING

[kaitwospirit]

[S] Jade, Dave, and Rose: GET THAT MOTHERFUCKING TIGER. IT IS NOT TOO FAST.

[Coraliepengy]

@kaitwospirit You, sir/madam, have just made me laugh. Go get yourself a sammich. You deserve it.

[Introbulus]

@kaitwospirit That tiger is right now having a motherfucking party with all them kids. Aradia can come too. Vriska's still on her not a human d8, so she's out.

[therealseserakh]

Jade: Rise up

[ViolentBigGrl]

I always thought that since is the opposite of John's God Tier ascension title that this would be Karkat's ascension song, but I doubt it now.

Unless this is supposed to be for Dave or Rose's.

We'll see in the future.

[XD003]

@ViolentBigGrl You have no idea how far into the future this would be.

[RDawgsuperpro1996]

This is one of those songs that give me hope things will change for the better

[VintageAerith]

Next flash update, amirite?

[SilentAvera]

@VintageAerith SO RIGHT. Best part of the new flash!!

[FanOfLawliet]

Dat violin x_x

[RyanThunderThief]

...even at the price of oblivion.

[LMLLO]

You guys, you guys, I had this somewhat strange but amazing dream were Jade gets killed and gets stuck in the HorrorTerror's realm or something, and the green suit dead Dave decides to go save her and everyone else Orpheus style, man. I had a HomestuckxGreek Mythology dream, such a fucking awesome mix,I woke up happy as hell. 83 Everythime I listen to this song, it reminds me of it, I love it so much.

[elronman]

@LMLLO oh man, an ancient Greek dude that had to save his chick friend from the dead, and on top of that he was a great musician. man if they had aviator glasses back then I bet he would look just like Dave, except Greek and dead. I do hope Dave doesn't get killed on account of his music.

[fault3k]

@LMLLO Have you happened to played any of the persona games?

[Xeniphyst]

@fault3k Persona 3's Orpheus is 100% irrelevant.

[fault3k]

@Xeniphyst Which is why I had to ask instead of automatically being able to assume. But thanks for stating obvious.

[Xeniphyst]

@fault3k But assume what? Persona is still irrelevant to everything related to this. xD

[fault3k]

@Xeniphyst If you are trying to make an argument, you are doing a bad job. You already assumed I was talking about Persona 3 because there is a persona called Orpheus, thus there is a relation.

lol internet logic

[Xeniphyst]

@fault3k I'm not arguing. You know, not every comment on YouTube is about arguing, silly. Yes, there is a persona called Orpheus. xD But again, that fella was talking about Greek mythology and not Persona 3. That's all I'm saying. ._.

[fault3k]

@Xeniphyst Ah, I thought you were trying to be a dick. Regardless though, I was asking if they happened to have played the game, the comment wasn't really necessary as I'm well aware of the story behind Orpheus and Eurydice.

Now if you would like to chat or make a friend on the other hand, I would be more than happy to oblige.

[TheWarnerSister]

@LMLLO Damn, I wish I could have had that dream with you. XD It sounds amazing.

[Cooncay]

@LMLLO Pffffff, I really want to animate this. Like, seriously. Message me more about the plot and everything. :D

[Penningtontj]

Unfortunately this won't be the peice of music used in the End of Act 5 animation, since Hussie confirmed the music for it isn't complete yet.

[TheSodaCanCreeper]

I don't believe anything like this has ever happened, or will ever happen again, but I will most likely shed great tears if this is included in a flash

[Homestucktrolls]

Like when god tier aradia said she was waiting for her friends or something like that coul dbe the dead trolls. As ghosts.

Since she was a ghost and all.

//shot//

[elronman]

2 seconds... why couldn't there be 2 more seconds.

[DeathMachineDAS]

I hate to make the pun, I really do...but this music is strong, and I just might need a towel.

There. I said it.

[CrazyTheatreChick]

0:58 *cue Equius rising from the dead carrying Nepeta*

[hellibard]

When my friend told me the newest update (5x Combo) was a flash, I thought for a moment that it was the EOA5, now that the interlude was over. Then the music started playing and I nearly had a heart attack because I was deathly afraid that I was listening to the EOA, and it wasn't this song!

Then I looked at his computer and saw that it wasn't the EOA etc., so it's all good.

Did I mention that I think this should be the EOA5 song?

[pivotfann]

savior of the dreaming dead...

the people who died go into dream bubbles near the green sun

dave knows the location of the green sun

sollux was able to get out of his dream bubble

think.

[PoisonPikmin]

@pivotfann ...Holy god.

[SakuranoIzzy]

"No time to turn back now, for we cannot turn back.

...we are at the edge of oblivion."

~What I was thinking while listening to this song.

[moonmonster333]

Such a beautiful song. Doctor has a lot of remixes, but this is one of the best.

[H536917]

It could be Gamzee, as crazy as it sounds. He keeps talking about MiRaClEs and MeSsIaHs. And now he keeps saying that the messiah has always been him.

What if it is?

[Goatmon]

@H536917 Wasn't he saying that the closest thing to a real messiah he has encountered is Lil' Cal?

Who supposedly told him to go kill everyone?

[mylightside]

Appropriately epic music for the most epic of Acts.

[Excallyburr]

Epic boss fight music right here folks

[UpsidePickle]

I can already tell this song is going to be the act ender. The last song of Volume 5 was Homestuck, which was played in the last flash of the act. In Volume 4, the last song on the album was Black, which was ALSO the act ender.

I'M SO EXCITED

[pepper952]

Another Dave theme for the win it seems.

[ChocolateMilkFairy]

For some reason, when I hear this, I always think of when John is rising up again by being stabbed.

It might be just the Savior of the - thing again.

[EmmileneRosalina]

@ChocolateMilkFairy It's because it has his motif weaved in there. Go back to the other flash and listen, it's the same thing; and then the heavy electric guitar is more of Vriska's thing; so I have a feeling that this definitely involves them both. Just a hunch, though... c:

[NettikGirl]

...Maybe WV will be the one to take out Jack. He's got a ring, after all. And a fight has been alluded to - so I imagine he'll have some place in the final showdown.

[UpsidePickle]

@NettikGirl Oh, he will. I'm absolutely sure of it. There's one page that says something about "She may choose to appoint a WASTELANDIC VINDICATOR as her kingdom's hero, a warrior selected and groomed to face the slayer with the weapon he protects."

Not to mention the drawing there is WV, looking at the ring in his hand, thinking about a black painted Tab can (a black pawn - himself), PM, John, and the chunk of uranium he ate.

[CMDmusic]

Am I the only one who's reminded of Karkat when I hear this? You know, since he's John's direct foil?

John is the Savior or the Waking World.

Karkat is the Savior of the Dreaming Dead.

I'm hoping Karkat ends up killing Bec Noir. Or maybe Dave.

[pappytech1]

@CMDmusic Eh, not really. Karkat is awesome, but he's not exactly hero material. He seems to be the least combat effective troll (With the exception of Tavros), and obviously has serious mental health issues (Then again so does everyone)

He's normally played more for laughs than anything serious. After seeing his expression in the Zillyhoo flash, I don't see him being a hero. Then again, maybe he'll activate hero mode. That would be awesome. But unlikely. :(

[CMDmusic]

@pappytech1 And what exactly do you think he just did to Gamzee, who's easily the most powerful troll combat-wise?

[pappytech1]

@CMDmusic ::::O

I have no idea, but it was probably awesome. I take back everything I just said.

[SixOutOfAHundred]

@CMDmusic LOL.

[BlueMew210210]

@CMDmusic

I always thought it was Aradia... You know because of the fact that she is master of the dream clouds... I think?

[Convoicev2]

It's Aradia's theme.

She's their savior because she'll be the only one left alive.

They're all going to die, meet up in the dream bubbles, have some creepy 13-year-old SLOPPY M4K3OUTS, and then escape and finished the unscratched session.

At least, I hope so

[T0by24]

@Convoicev2 You just made me think of a great theory. What if the only way to avoid the scratch is through dream bubbles? Everyone'd have to die before the scratch happens so they'll survive. Except John since can't die normally and has to cause the scratch probably definitively.

[CrimsonSnoipah]

..Someone just needs to chop off the finger Bec Noir has the ring on. Lol.

[duskaxe]

@CrimsonSnoipah Goddamn, Ive been saying that for so long! Its just friggin common sense! Once the fingers off, so is the ring and all his power! Bluh. Why doesnt anyone get that?

[StopRunningKid]

D --> This song is so amazing. I hope that this is where all the past trolls rise from the dead. That would be amazing. Like, how amazing would it be if like everyone dies, but John and Vriska and they take on Bec Noir, but they are about to lose and then up on the cliffs (For some reason I imagined them like in a cliff surrounded valley) and then the silhouettes of 14 shadows appear on the cliffs, and then you see everyone in God Tier with their weapons ready. That would be se%.

[Bananawawa]

@StopRunningKid OH MY GOD BRING BACK NEPETA. PLEASE.

[StopRunningKid]

@Bananawawa D --> Haha, dude I don't care if this comment gets spammed or whatever, but please check out my song called "Nepeta Leijon."

[quertzoid]

@Bananawawa The only reason I give a shit about Nepeta is because I'm a Leo. The useless bitch was bound to die at some point in the series.

[Bananawawa]

@StopRunningKid *my reaction to this not happening* Fuck. God damnit Terezi stop messing things up!

[StopRunningKid]

@Bananawawa D --> I know, shit! I'm getting a little pissed off that Hussie hasn't thrown anyone a bone besides John coming back, but that wasn't even a shock. Everyone knew that was coming. True, he has created like one of the best things ever, but I'm tired of everyone that I like dying. Nepeta, Equius, Feferi, and Vriska are my favorites... and they are all dead!!!

[Ikehammer]

@StopRunningKid Haw Haw, Vriska's dead.

[StopRunningKid]

@Ikehammer D --> Haw Haw, fuck you.

[TheEranster]

@StopRunningKid This would be such a cop-out, writing wise, that it would make me promptly commit suicide for trusting Hussie to make death meaningful.

[MoonarEclipse]

@StopRunningKid

that's an amazing idea ;_;

[xXTouketsuXx]

@StopRunningKid STR0NG speech

[StopRunningKid]

@xXTouketsuXx D --> Thank you, but I feel that you were imposing some form of sarcasm.

[xXTouketsuXx]

@StopRunningKid With this type of epicness? I would never dare.

[StopRunningKid]

@xXTouketsuXx D --> Well then I must apologize for I am only now starting to grasp this concept along with the concept of dropping phat beats as they say

[FlyingPillowMan]

@StopRunningKid 8ro, you need a towel????????

[AriaAsacura]

@StopRunningKid all of my support <3

[Introbulus]

@StopRunningKid Yeah...that would pretty much be the best thing ever, and solidify this and "Savior of the Waking World" as my favorite songs.

[TheMikemaximum]

This needs to be the song if theres a JohnxRosexKarkatxTerezi: Rise Up flash.

[quertzoid]

@TheMikemaximum I thought that was shipping for a second....

[00Gimme00]

Title of the song. It insinuates the the dead are to be saved. I AM HOPEFUL ONCE MORE.

[youraftermyrobotbee]

@00Gimme00 just like how The Thirteenth Hour meant there was a thirteenth troll, amirite?

[angelkobato]

two more seconds and it's 4:13. perfect for an end of act 5 /start of act 6 music

[NettikGirl]

This needs to be in a flash. I don't care what happens in it (alright, maybe a little) but this NEEDS to be in a flash.

[Scyle92]

I bought the album because of this song.

[medaknight4]

End of Act 5 Act 2 flash music! Please Hussie, I beg of you!

[inferno232]

It's been a while since we've seen a hero really kick some arse. I'm hoping that either Dave or John won't let me down. Then again, I was almost CERTAIN that there'd be a Karkat/Gamzee showdown, so...

[RMD00]

[S] Dave: Punch a hole in Bec Noir's chest. For great justice.

[Ikehammer]

@RMD00 HawHaw, he's dead

[VocalRaynbow]

@Ikehammer And gets revived, obviously. In Homestuck, kissing cures everything. What webcomic have you been reading? C;

[alexandzakkown]

@RMD00 bec noir has a hole in his chest already ==>

[BlockisticStudios]

@alexandzakkown

TWO HOLES = BETTER THAN ONE

HECK YES

[801Milcah]

@RMD00 One Piece reference? XDDD

[Saecile]

==>[S] Dave: Be the hero

[TheManboat]

Maybe Dave will finally be a hero after all ;_;

[Akamuaru999]

I hope that this song title alludes to the future.

Oh please John. Be the hero. Give us a happy ending.

[Noruzenchi86]

This track reminds me of Halo, especially with it's placement right after Zillyhoo.
