I find it funny how both Xefros and Aradia's theme's are chill af. Rustblood theme type, i guess?
Rauber i was actually gonna comment on that, i call it the "rustblood swing"
Nicholas Moffett nice
Rustbloods are very CHILL
Lowest blood things
Yeah, we are chill
As a person who had to study music in various aspects during school, This music gives me some insight on how the character associated with it feels about himself. The deep tone it has kind of portrays that Xefros feels like he's at rock bottom. That he's worthless. This of course is stated in the game, but the music helps to set that kind of mindset when you play as Xefros and are sort of seeing things the way he sees things. He sees everything in his hive and how it's the basics of what he is allowed to have. It's ordinary things that reflect that he's on the bottom. However, in the game room, the song is more upbeat and it's filled with the things he likes. Hence the name of the title in that room: Sports! Personally, I like them. He likes the stuff in that room, so he feels happier and the music reflects that. Even how he was raised by a sloth is reflected by this music: its slow paced, kinda depressing given the fact that he was raised to feel like nothing. But it also gives the listener a sense of wanting to do things. Wanting to be more, just like Xefros. The slightly faster guitar in it helps portray that he wants to be so much more, but everything else being slow is symbolic of how society and his upbringing are holding him back. But that's just my opinion.
Ren Does Cosplay that's an awesome opinion
Deep bro
đđŸ
you: deep insight into phycological properties of characters personality traits and how the music reflects them
me: tHiS sOnG sOUnDs nIcE
Ren Does Cosplay This also sounds really similar to Karkat's theme, and Karkat's leitmotif can be found in other songs in the Hiveswap soundtrack (of course, in Homestuck too) all they did was slow it down and made some adjustments in pitch
(FLARP MANUAL + MAGAZINES) This has to be one of my favorite lines in the game.
"Your FLARP manual does have some information about MAGAZINES, but they're the kind with bullets.
You don't have any of those around, unless Tetrach Dammek has hidden secret ammo caches throughout your hive again without telling you.
....
Correction. You probably have thousands of those around."
Legit xefros is a surprisingly cool guy
tho he is kinda different and is less stuttery and insecure than Tavros. Or, he is, but he is better at hiding it.
nah i think the difference is tavros is outright bullied whereas xefros is just abused by his moirail in a slow less noticeable manner, creates 2 entirely different people. plus xef clearly has a heart of fucking gold while tavros seemed mostly beaten into submission
This song feels military in style, akin to the hymn of a miner or a factory worker. Just like with Xefros, their dull life and small, nihilistic outlook on existence eats away at their self-worth, until they truly think they are trash. Then, like Xefros, they find someone to look up to, someone to please, a reason to exist, for they haven't found one in themselves. This aspect of idolizing a superior embodies itself, for Xefros, in Tetrarch Dammek. He is the reason Xefros is happy, his made-up reason to keep existing, to please him. Xefros, like a miner or factory worker, is at the bottom of social standings, a mere rustblood. This, along with many other things, leads him to believe he is, in every aspect, worthless. Dammek is somebody Xefros wants to make happy, so he can add one thing to the short list of things he likes about himself. Every single thing I have mentioned is embodied in this song. Good on you, Toby Fox! Your music is awesome!
don't discredit james roach, man
xefros is a bean, protect him peeps
W3SS3L He's also a jock in one of Alternia's murder-sports. If anyone needs protecting, it's the poor soul who actually manages to royally piss him off!
eeexcept its him whos going to die because every other position puts the murder in murder sport
cretinousGuide Also true.
Plz do dat
REAL HUMAN BEAN
Favorite song only because I had to listen to it for so long
Julio Saldana exactly
Seriously
yeah
man, this game really preyed on my maternal instincts
heh... that blood over heart icon takes me back.
As an older brother, this song gets me into a feeling of needing to protect my siblings...so I guess it's like it's my siblings theme and not mine in that situation.
Kinda reminded me of mindless people, walking through the streets as if they were cogs in a machine, each step in place as the others around them. Orderly and grey all over. And yet high above on a building probably is the two people in the city with even a smidge of hope, playing an electric guitar while the other plays a keyboard
DIRK STRIDER?
this song sounds so intense even though its just played when a troll is in his hive
i know this was a very old comment, dug up from the depths of "the homstuck fandom 5 years ago". BUT, you do realise this was played when a troll was in his hive... being hunted by gog damned flying murderdrones
We must protecc the smol one ïŒâčâĄâčïŒâĄ
ugh
Agreeda
PROTECC
I WILL PROTECT HIM!

I'm listening to this song while designing a star wars dnd ship on graph paper. It doesn't get more nerdy than this!
Listening to this while writing lore for my homebrew D&D campaign setting, I feel you friend!
NERD GAUGE OVERLOAD. EXCEEDS INFINITY.
Using this for part of a haunted mansion thing for D&D, kek. Were you playing the WotC Star Wars RPG?
Listening to this while writing a script for a 4 hour movie Iâll never make
rustblood: feels like you're being yelled at. like xefros. (there's a comment in here that goes into great detail about this song, and how it reflects xefros's character. go read it!!) that little bit that's soft and hopeful reminds you that the character you're playing still has hope. it's just a little bit, but it's still there. 9/10, intimidating and sad, but a great track nonetheless.
THE BEGINNING REMINDS ME OF PAPERS, PLEASE. DOESN'T IT SOUND LIKE THAT?
noah m P R A I S E A R I T Z O T S K A
Jorji best waifu.
*_GLORY TO ARZTOTSKA!_*
every time i try to remember what this song sounds like, the papers please theme gets stuck in my head B'(
*g l o r y t o t h e u n s p e l l a b l e c o u n t r y*
ive always called it austria tbh-
its not austria but its the same start and end letters so its fine
At first, I found Xefros to be a tad insufferable, but realized it's because I'm kind of the same way, overly apologetic, oblivious, downplays his troubles/issues, feeling like he's hit rock bottom, feeling worthless/useless.. etc. I'm like that as well. He slowly became my favourite character, meanwhile, Dammek became my least favourite, despite not having any screen time (technically). Like, I rarely feel annoyed towards a character I relate to heavily, but I guess it's because it hits too close to home for me? I was raised in an abusive household, basically taught how I am nothing/worthless to my family, and that I'm a major disappointment to them. Getting constantly beaten up by my own family (mostly my brother and father) and my father telling me how he was better than I am, that he was able to do more things than me.. etc. he'd constantly one-up me and would mock me when I try to express the possibility as to why I am slow at things (depression).. Like, to keep from going on, basically, I was raised in a horrible household and I always wanted to do more with my life but my family kept shoving me more and more into the ground, making me feel like that I am not meant for anything decent or good in my life. I moved away back in 2017, and while my situation still isn't a lot better, my boyfriend makes my life much better just by being with me. We live in a shitty house in the middle of nowhere with barely any money, but we'll find some way to move out and live a better life one day, hopefully.
yep same. i found his interactions with joey annoying at first and then i realised this was because i felt like i was looking in a mirror
prayin' for ya, homie :>
The song of oppression.
And best one in the game after the one playing when Xefros is under the spoilers at the end of the chapter, I wish that song was in the soundtrack.
THANK YOU
YOU ARE THE BEST
Treats are in the vault. Take the playbook, the spoon, and a hydration cylinder. Use the hydration cylinder on the vault (when you have the playbook). Acquire sloth treats.
I discovered this purely by wanting to see what kind of probably not-related to my main quest things were in the vault.
Who knew that it would help me beat the game?
This is my permanent mood.
lol shut up edgelord
@@absent612 Hah
So oppressive, so low, so depressing... And yet, a little of hope at the end. That's the rust life I guess
guys, imagine being at a concert and having this blasted by the huge speakers
GLORy TO ARAStOZKa
GREATEST COUNTRY EVER
If anyone starts talking trash about rustbloods i swear-
Rustbloods deserves better!
This song *feels* like trudging along during a long, long day. It's monotonous work, it's exhausting, but you've just gotta finish so at least you can sleep. It's the closest you've got to leaving this stupid system, and you'll take something.
My JAM
if you speed it up to 2 it sounds cool
ThatRandomPotato_ It sounds like chiptune kinda.
ThatRandomPotato_ Put it to 0.75. It sounds like you're on acid.
The Turret that's more like it
ThatRandomPotato_ 0.25
I dunno. 1.25 is more my cup of tea.
Lumi is the beesssttttt
I see a lot of people talking about it in slower speeds but I have yet to see a single joke of 0.25% speed = *MOISTUREWAVE*
This song reminds me of Bastion. Am I crazy? I think it's that guitar.
i see that. yeah
Yeah, I can see/hear that.
Hmm, kinda reminded me of Karkat's theme at first, with the beat in the background and such. Probably the odd one out here
what?
Aver Gallnt No they donât. Xef and Aradia have the same blood. Karkat is a mutant candy red.
lumi i think you made a mistake in the title
it says "extended"
lol
This reminds me of the pre-death Aradia theme
maybe it has to do with the fact that there both rust bloods.
Rustbloods are cool
Best song from Act 1
isn't it fucking ironic that i put this on every time i have to deep clean my room
Danny Lieberwirth I was doing the same thing lol
Sums me up pretty well,A camp Kid who really does not care for anyone out of their close friend radius,but has deep empathy for anyone whos hurt,and despite being John family blood trash,still sees nice stuff.
one of my fav songs from the ost :D
I can just about feel the hot breeze blowing in off the gander precipice.
This this is what would happen if Xefros became the dude from Papers, Please.
Notice how this sounds like a slowed-down version of Crustacean, Karkat's theme
FISH TANK, FISH TANK, FISH TANK, FISH TANK...
Or at least that's what it sounds like.
Oh lord it does. I can't unhear that ever again, I hope you're happy.
Forever protect Xefros. He is smol bean. †đâ€
the "smol bean" is a rage player.
I don't know why, but my favorite theme is Jude's...
Why why why why why
This song is my jam, yknow? Just grinding along, maybe AP courses will let up eventually...
Love this!!
This song is my life simplified into music
I love this, sounds very good
im fucking.. i love xef so much
guys I need help. my clock ticking sounds way to much like this and now I canât sleep because of it
Xefros is Xur best friendo forever. X:)
Yay }:D
LUMI SO MANY UPLOADS AHHH
I'll adopt this as my new music theme.
Easily the best song on the OST.
the fucKING SLOTH TREATS--
at 2X speed it sounds like a whole new song
at that speed it sounds like a PVZ song
thank you kind person. i now always play this on 2x speed
Thanks now I have more music to listen to while I wait for act 2
And THIS is where it gets crazy.
All the other music, for the most part, is fast-paced and light-hearted, but this? Not this.
X:D
X:)
XXD
X:O
X>:/
wow
cool comment
much original
yeeeee
my favourite
everyone's talking abou)(he sloth treats but im over here getting stuck because i didnt know the spoon went with the bat so i spent an hour running around in circles
awww yah boi
*PROTECT ALIEN BOI*
fuck dude i miss this
Great song
this is soooo good for studying
A song that portrays the monotony of working in a factory but has a good of enough beat that you could physically utter a pop and lock before the Foreman saw you
does anyone know where to find the second version of this song? the one that plays when you view xefros under the rubble, it sounds all hopeless and doomy
yo this is kinda fire
I hope the song that plays when Xefros is under the rubble is in the act 2 soundtrack, and if it's been somewhere this whole time, then I've been too unlucky to no find it.
According to the Hiveswap zodiac or whatever, I am also rustblood trash.
Gwen Paul Same,but i dun care
It's intense but not high-pace. I think this song reflects the viewer's shock at leaving Earth and the subsequent spectacle of the unchangingly dreadful life of a rustblood on Alternia.
man i always wondered what rock bottom sounds like
How did you make the glitching title effect?
If it weren't for Filthy Nuclear Bunker, this would probably be my favorite song, although there are many other fantastic songs... ugh it's hard to choose! Btw you should Xtend (or maybe XXd? because the second x sounds like ten? forget it) keep your heads down, it's short but great. love you lumi thanks for everything X:D
+Lord Agustin The entire Hiveswap soundtrack has been extended - check the playlist in the description.
YAASSSS
BOMP
bomp
i always thought this theme was pretty much just a regular theme slowed down and transposed like three octaves down
Why does this have the same bpm as WAP?
I canât help but mash them up in my head
This song sounds so much like Paper's Please, omg. XD
AAAAAAHHHHHH
I LOVE THIS SONG
Fuuuuck this song is fantastic
This is the perfect song to oatmeal
1, 2, oat meal
Kirby is a pink guy,
Cause Kirby's real cute (x2)
Kirby 'haled his enemies, and makes it later
Kirby is so happy that's something he can do
Kirby 'haled his enemies, and makes it later
Kirby is so happy that's something he can do 'cause he's such a pink guy (such a pink guy)
0:59 kinda reminds me of some sort of abandoned desert temple.
This is definitely my first favorite song. Tied with its somehow more depressing and less depressing counterpart keep your head down, the gloriously over complicated filthy nuclear bunker, and the perfect study music Joey Claire, extraordinaire, and the hilariously syncopated singular peril, the deep relatively visible darkness, the quirky Jude Harley, bizarrely, the unifying intermission one- oh. Sorry. I'm just listing all the songs. I'll stop. Either way, I wish there was a version of keep your head down that kept the satisfying ("doo, doooo- dooo do, doo doooo?") sounds every four rhythm thingabops.
Keepin it short and sweet.
This song gives me chance the rapper 14,400 minutes vibes
NOICE
XEFROS MY BBY!
I feel a bit of virska in there...
Xefros and Dammek is so cute and cool for being rust blood
Golden Picaxe0 Lol dammek isnât rustblood. Heâs a bronzeblood.
@@miniaturemenacemm301
Yeah!
I have this litttle dragon music box that makes the almost exact same sound uwu
this fucking slaps X:D
can someone remix this
like with a chill jazy vibe
or something like that
â„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž
Idk why but in the 1st part of the melody I hear lavender town for some reason
sounds like my life tbh
kitty junttila odd and depressing?
hwen try to play it on vitual piano : 2 minutes of tourturing hands and fingers
This reminds me of the don't starve theme and papers please theme, am I the only one?
rust type beat
X:)

Finall- Oh frick- My replay button broke- *UH SOMEONE- help.. please? sorry*

@@luminantAegis Thank you-
OMG guys play it at 1.25 speed and it sounds like faster walking
it's so jazzy!
Kinda reminds me of Pokemon HGSS for some reason.
I find it quite strange.. Karkatâs pants are grey instead of black just like Xefrosâs.. and they have the same exact blood color.. Is this a rust-blood thing?
I'm a rustblood and I say I dont know!
@@RikuMcduck Oh hey Aradia
@@spinnorsomething
Hey
Also wait I just realized, you have a grey skirt...
I think red bloods have some some strange connection with grey
i rate 1.25X speed X/X for when you want to lighX the mood X:)
