    Seeing these comments that are years old makes me feel sad because I wish I discovered what homestuck was earlier when the fandom was more active. Hearing this song feels so melancholy but upbeat at the same time and I love it! I'm so glad that I discovered this song because it's what introduced me to the great webcomic, and I love the fact that this music was meant for John (one of my most favorite characters) and it just sounds so fitting. God, do I love this soundtrack.
    Edit: It's been over a year since i made this comment and i kinda forgot I made this, but I feel immense joy seeing these replies and the fact that Homestuck is still making new content is amazing to me. It's kinda funny how ironic my comment is now that it's starting to age just like other comments made over 6 years ago, I wonder if someone will see this comment in the next 6 years or so and think the same thing?

    Its your last night in town. You've just graduated high school and all of your friends have gotten together, everyone's having a good time. They already know your leaving, heading of to college, but you want the memory of your last night in town to be happy. So you try to forget that your leaving. You tell yourself "we'll still text!" "We'll still chat!" But you know you won't. You know you'll talk for a few months, and then slowly lose contact as life gets in the way. And that makes you upset, the future makes you sad. But right now your having dinner with your friends, and right now things are good. And that's enough.

      I always assumed Rapture was meant more in the biblical sense, the end of everyone and everything.
      In my eyes, Pale Rapture is like a solemn goodbye to the Beta Universe and knowing that, while everything has ended and everyone they knew and didn't bring with them is most likely dead and gone, a new universe awaits them. Its a solemn end punctuated by a glimmer of hope

    Mental image::
    0:02: John, his friends, and the guardians are together. Sburb never happened, Bec is normal, and everything is okay.
    1:30: One by one, John's friends fade out in front of him until he's alone.
    2:10: The scenery goes black and he's stranded in a void. It steadily zooms out on him until he's nothing but a speck. The blackness segues right into Rose's Grimdark outfit.
    2:38: Rose and Bec Noir clash. They're strifing. John's God Tier, temp!dead, and he was dreaming. Whoops.

    The Living Tombstone’s “I Wanna Be A Machine” for Beat Saber brought me right back to this track. That bassline-dominated section with the trap drums in its final half-minute made me instantly remember a Homestuck song sounding the same way.
    I didn’t yet remember the name but I could remember Volume 9/Colours and Mayhem era, then I was like yeah Colours and Mayhem… Universe B just from the color association of white instead of black
    And bam. Pale Rapture. Right where I left it last. Here in a CZcams Playlist to give me the same kind of float away escapist emotions that “I Wanna Be a Machine” does nearly ten years later

    i cant help but just think about the bunches of hives ive been building and decorating and the amount of fun ive been having in this fandom and how ill look back on it all years in the future, homestuck may have "ended", but from now on it will go on and on and on and on and on :o)

    Pale Rapture. What does that mean? Probably nothing, but time to overanalyze because this song is messing me up.
    As one of the top comments mentioned, rapture means a feeling of intense joy or pleasure. Pale could relate to troll quadrants, particularly the platonic ones, but I'm more inclined to think it's not. Pale can mean that something is feeble or unimpressive, apparently. So a pale rapture would be a feeling of intense joy that is feeble in some way? Not sure what to make of that, or how to relate it to John. Maybe the quadrant explanation is more prudent. It could relate to his relationships in some way. The song name can also just be an expression of it's contents. Maybe listening to the song is supposed to feel like a pale rapture. That does weirdly sound like a good way to describe the feelings this song gives me.
    either way, i think we can all agree that this is a john song because john is depressed and this song also a torrent of emotions.

      Well, Rapture means intense joy or happiness, while Pale can mean unimportant. Knowing these definitions, it sort of goes along with the picture that is shown here homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pale-rapture. John's God tier clothes are a bright and beautiful array of the sky and clouds, but the expression of the face does not match. The environment he is in makes it look as if it was he was here: www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=008860. This is where he comes back after experimenting with his new found abilities of retconning, believing he could defeat LE, but came back to the aftermath of the death of most of his friends.
      Don't know if this helps really clear up anything. Just my two cents.
