You nailed my influences. You even heard through things I didn’t know were as apparent in my writing. Fabulous analysis.
Adam GOATman, truly greatest of all time
@MarcoMeatball plz pin this comment up....the GOAT himself is here
This is my favorite song from Arknights, thank you for your work!
thank for your work sir! really glad to hear pirates nun shark song
OMG he is actually here
it's so funny you mention this having Disney vibes, because Adam Gubman the composer, has actually done music for the Disney theme parks!
I would suggest it’s actually my natural vibe. I just adore theater, pop, and animation - so, it comes out in my work a lot!❤
@@AdamGubman1 the🐐himself
@@AdamGubman1 love you
@@AdamGubman1 all hail the Hans Zimmer Of Gaming
He is here 🥺
Oh hey, thanks! Loved hearing your take. Recording this (by myself, Covid style) was no joke and I’m glad people have responded so well to it!
You got it Holly you're a rockstar
banger
You're amazing, thanks for blessing us Arknights fans with your work
I love how Marco just gets into it. Like "yeah boys, it's Awaken time, you know why you're here, let's roll."
Just like Altspecter's recruitment voice line. So fitting.
I like that the song (as usual in AK) seems to reflect that character story.
**SPOILERS**
Specter is a Abyssal Hunter, which are a sort of genetically modified soldier based on Aegir (sea creature) body and Seaborn (Hivemind evolve at all costs enemy). They were created to face the Seaborn threat that has been wreaking havoc under the ocean. However, as they are part Seaborn, they listen to their call, and can, in time, end up becoming one of them. The lore seems to imply that it happens when the AH loses the sense of individuality or when their mental state fall. So they are always listening the call and consciously choosing not to succumb, to stay human.
Specter is one of the few survivors of a fight with a crucial battle, and drifted ashore, where she was found by followers of the Church of the Deep, a cult-like organization that worships the Seaborn. They injected originium directly in Specter's spinal cord. Her seaborn blood seems to fight off the infection from spreading, but also caused her amnesia. Her alter form "the Unchained" is her regaining her memory.
So she was asleep, and awakened when regained her memory, but has to be aware to not "awaken" as a seaborn. Pretty clever.
>genetically modified soldier
as if this game cannot be more Metal Gear than it already is
@@donnycorn3086 it's actually a Bloodborne reference... I mean, all the AH history is a really BIG Bloodborne reference
@@sergiomonroy3549 Which in itself is based on Lovecraft's Cthulian mythos. Gotta love it.
The Opera man has editing skills now, it feels more intense as ever
my editor is amazing
ayo bonbon, weird seeing u here.
@@user-lr5qw7jr8k Who are you 🔫
I always love the Arknights songs that remind me of the older Disney songs! But this song specifically is such a great song!
You, play through the abyssal story first, ;P
i didn't know you follow marco also
@@natsukimio1725 of course! one of my fav reaction channels, I've learnt so much about music, composition, and themes from his videos
AAAAA FINALLY MY FAVORITE SONG!!! And I'm so fascinated you did catch Gubman's intention with the dissonance to illustrate the panic, stress, and restlessness of her character! One of the most interesting part about this song was that Adam Gubman in one of his interview that I saw in Bilibili, said that it was intended to be very chaotic or had that dissonance at first and it gets calmer and eventually clear in the end to portray her mental condition as her story arc progress. And yes, I think it is indeed beautiful and rich!
Holly really captured that in her performance.
Yes, Just yes, I've seen you reacting it and breaking it down in the Ambience synesthesia 2022 Stream and it was glorious
It's so good to hear vocals in a game, because it's not just the instrumental majesty that I must consume but the emotional undertones of the singer's voices.
It is a trend that I think is increasing this year. Look at Honkai Star Rail, most of their music and themes have vocals now. Arknights is also increasing the amount of music that has vocals.
Arknights EP (character theme) songs always have vocals. The in game OSTs on the other hand varies. Sometimes there's a singer involved, sometimes it's just intstrumental, sometimes there's a vocal for only on a certain part like in the countdown in Lonetrail boss battle theme.
@@dindapriska yeah they do but what I meant was during gameplay. Usually it would be instrumentals but I started to notice that vocals are now being added even during gameplay.
One of my favorite Arknights song, Laurentina the Shark nun is a beauty and this song perfectly capture. her personality and life so well.
Had my headphones turn off in a subway while listening to this and a girl was curious and asked what Disney movie it came from
I do like the term of calling this a song that has a very 'Disney vibe' to it, even if Disney does not have a crazy sawblade shark nun c:
.always up for more Arknights content, the amount of genres this game reaches and hits to near perfection is just a musical treat to listen to.
This is definitely one of my most loved songs of Arknights. Whenever it reaches the chorus, there's just this build up in my emotions, especially longingness, and then I get this urge to just let go and let my tears flow. Really amazing.
Covering all of those Arknights songs and other video games just earned you a subscription. I like to see people recognizing how much work actually goes into making those tracks and that it takes an incredible amount of skill and effort, and putting it forth in a format that helps other people understand it as well. Love your work.
Thank you!!
This music represents 100% what spectre was through this event, to put it simply: the character, spectre in the past she lost her memories and a different personality took over her, in this event in the final, the true herself comes back and awaken, taking control over her other personality, coming back to once was the real spectre
I still find it wild Arknights is pumping out more and more character themes, when these songs dont even appear in the game. Effective marketing I guess since theres an ecosystem outside the game. Like recently Muelsyse's and Ho'olheyak's have a hold on me atm.
Yeah I absolutely love their character songs
They're not lying when they said they're just a music company 👏👏👏
all hail Adam Gubman for giving us orchestra that rivals Hans Zimmer, and also Holly Sedios for that opera vocals
YES! After months and months of waiting for this reaction ('cause Iirc you had it ready for a while), we finally get to see it. So glad! 😭
This being said, I hope you'll start uploading a bit more Arknights ("felt a lack" of Marco/Arknights content recently 👀). The others video are great too, but I just love this game too much lol
I was waiting for this one! Great surprise right after uni
Find you~
@@tomatomaki Hi Maki :D
The wait is over..
@@Mikazuki-senpai
Hellloooooooo~
@@SirGacha
Hello as well~
This video was everything I could have hoped for! From the moment I first heard Awaken I knew it would be one that gave you a lot to talk about, I'm glad to finally see it happen!
AHHHHH The Mythical and Fabled Awaken video! Finally!!! You have been teasing this video to us for so long that I had almost given up all hopes of it ever coming out! Glad to see enjoying this song so much! We saw you break it down on the Ambience Synesthesia livestream and recently on the Celebration livestream but it's always so fun to see you nerd out about all the musical technicalities and intricacies!
Thanks for the analysis Marco, it was so fun!
Have you heard of library of runia? The game has some beatiful and meaningful music with many character themes to guess personality on (wink). My personal favourite is the angela boss theme, simply called angela on youtube.
I really like hearing you talk about music and I'd love for the topic to be a song I actually heard before (which somehow happened like only 5 times)
I'm surprised you haven't done it before, but I'd love to see your take on the Darkest Dungeon/Darkest Dungeon 2 OSTs. Phenomenal music, especially the compositions in the sequel.
Even as a player who has been playing for 4 years, I didn't know Arknight had songs as magnificent as this 😮
Adam gubman is just physically impossible not to make good arknight music
Adam Gubman is GOAT to making the Disney vibes and some Nostalgia song on AK
"Awaken" really make you awaken lmao
Addicted aren't we? 😏
Neat Reaction
Finally, one of my favourite AK song got a breakdown. I can rest peacefully now.
Ah yes, our Bloodborne Disney Mermaid Princess
Finally, Its been 84 years...
Damm... I wait 168 years
i accept just "thank you" as well
@@MarcoMeatball Thanks Marco
I clicked so fast that I could notice that, for once, my CZcams notifications didn't fail me
I didn’t even click on purpose, I just open my phone and this video is open😅
I always love watching your videos and hearing your analyses of different elements and techniques used in soundtracks. I learn something new everytime, haha.
Tbh, I merely raised Specter for Specter alter's reward.
However, after realizing how powerful she can be as an AOE tank and HP bait, I did not regret the LMD and Material that was wasted to raised her instead of other operators.
Thanks for giving her the spotlight Marco, also hope you can listen to the Abyssal Hunters EP [Voices]
I always enjoy how you react to music - it is very dynamic and I always can tell how much you love music in every reaction you perform. "Honestly heartfelt," is how I would best describe it.
First time I heard of this in it's first 30 sec I was like....'No,this isn't my gig' but after a couple of days went back to give it another go, and by gods the Ebb and Flow of the music dragged me along with it.
Question now is...
Will Marco ever talk or interview Adam Gubman regarding his tons of piece in Arknights?
Thanks for the music breakdown for this awesome piece.
Almost forgot....will you sing this song? :D
Yes i will
@@MarcoMeatball to both questions?
@@blitzrohan maybe ;)
First! Love the content you're putting out, keep that passion burning with love, determination and patience :D
I was just listening to this and thought of you! I keep thinking about how you said the singer kind of missed a note during the live in the Ambience Synthesia concert!
But if my ears can't hear the diff between the recorded to the live then I guess it's all good, ignorance is bliss afterall😂
Fantastic analysis of an outstanding song. This video was a pleasure to listen to.
insane dude, i can feel vibes disney, aladin, atlantis and etc, if i dint play ak maybe i didnt belive this ost from game 😂
Love this.
Keep it coming.
This one is my second fav after standchen
I hope Adam Gubman can collab with you. I would be super excited to see what the both of you can cook up together.
0:23 that's the perfect reaction to skadi ...
Man, your thumbnails and editing have skyrocketed from what you heard when you first started, Love the videos!
Here's a fun request: Twilight Symphony by Zreo: Second Quest. An entirely fanmade and funded arrangement of the Twilight Princess soundtrack recorded by a live orchestra, recently rereleased after it was unavailable for copyright complications and they went on hiatus for ~ten years.
Arknights is truly a melding pot of musical styles and genres with something for everyone (or all me, I love it all 😅)
yes! as expected you will love this song for sure
"You want to hear me sing? Of course I can indulge you. But I'm so sorry, singing has a special significance to us that you just can't share, not being one of us. Doctor, Doctor, it vexes me that I have so many things I want to share with you. Just how could I convey them to you?" -Specter the unchained to the Doctor
also, LOVE the musical theater shoutouts and comparisons. It's not a super common crossover with videogames.
I use this song as my alarm, I always awaken in the morning
Yey, we have an another reaction!
Plot twist: Marco with beard doing streams and Marco without beard doing reactions for the channels.
Conclusion: there is never enough Marcos
😅
There are at least two
I can just mimic another comment because it's so fitting: "Who needs intros? I know why you are here, you know why you are here, let's not waste time."
i sincerely wasn't certain what to make of the Psyco Shark Nun, when i first saw her, but, her unchained version, and this song certainty helped me enjoy her.
Love the guitar at the end.
To me it felt like we're in a musical, in a battle. Not with horrid foes, but with herself. Which, kinda fits.
I'm curious now too: Is there a specific term for that kind of voice at the end? That kind of fragile, hopeful, awe-inspiring quiet piece that yanks on the heart strings? SOMEWHERE there has to be a name for it. So good.
The composer of this song has actually done themes for Disney park, so yeah it does have Disney vibes on it
Btw Marco, you might want to react on Arknights song, Flame Shadow (It's Reed's theme), which has a very distinct medieval-style music that's very rare to encounter in video games
lmao i was not ready for shaved beard when the thumbnail had full beard 🤣
the song sweeps you off your feet, you can say it washes over you like a crashing tide.
it's funny you say the song is restless and melody all over the place, Spector has 2 personalities, the original is aggressive and sassy while the "nun" personality is demure or what the normal personality describes her as "so pure"
This fits both the theme n gameplay, the theatric part is the original Spector taking the lead role,
the patter singing plus the tone shift is the original personality has an intense emotional outburst ie life & death situation,
which causes her personality to swap to the nun which represents quiet and passive part of the music.
The instrumental version of this song in the event pv's climax felt more majestic to me
First time I heard this song I immediately thought I was listening to an Opera song
You really enjoy this song, don't you
No i hate it.
Arknights, where our Disney princess is a Pirate Nun Shark Lady hunting abyssal horrors with her giant chainsaw
This may come across as a little weird, but I've watched quite a few of your videos now, and I just really enjoy the way you immerse yourself as the music is playing? The actual weird part here is that it reminded me of that one time Gordon Ramsay told the blind chef that he was pleased she tasted her ingredients every step of the way because that's how you stay ahead of the meal you're cooking, and, man, you always look like you're tasting the music as it comes to you.
Aw. That's just such a nice comment these really stay with me so it means so much.
Thanks Maxor for letting me know this song exists
When the only video description is "I love this song"
Well, arknights know what they're doing, clearly.
I kept feeling like I was wierd for thinking this is like a Disney song, im very happy that i wasn't just deluding myself about it.
And hey, she's kinda like sleeping beauty if she turned into a murderous nun instead of sleeping, was put into sleep by concentrated rock cancer and woke up because of a lovecraftian hive mind instead of true love's kiss so uh... Maybe I'm reaching.
I still can't believe they seriously made a disney song for our resident pirate nun shark who just recover from memory loss
And when you said about being restless...it's kind of accurate to the fact that this Specter have not just have the ability to stay alive after receiving lethal dmg but also after dying she will switch to her doll substitute and if that doll isn't killed for seconds...Specter will come back on the field again in game atleast in my understanding
I'd love to see you react to Elizabeth from the Bioshock Infinite OST. Beautiful game and music.
Literally a Disney Princess song.
Ah, finally, you've teased this for a month, i was starting to get a bit impatient
Yay finally! My most favorite song on Arknights huraaaaaa!!!
hm, I sometimes wonder... Would be a Arknights themed Opera be received well? Or about music from games in generel?
They do have the Ambience Synesthesia live concert.
Witch is nice, but isn't a opera.
Can we get a reaction to Mili - Between Two Worlds? It's like one of the best songs I heard in long time.
Filmed just in the pipeline
@@MarcoMeatball can't wait to see your reaction)
I like this guy, he can criticize what the song is missing to make it better. Rather than just complimenting "this song is so good"
Just amazing.
u should try Control's Wishes ost too, the event is about space and stuff and that ost really giving out interstellar vibe with it
im looking forward to you doing Ensheath at some point :)
hey marco, quick question have you listen to arknight's winter absolution ? you might enjoy it if you haven't
I'll explore
Editor is having fun huh)
This is your 3rd time’s you listen to awaken right? Hope it will be your new favorite song and you will listen to it many more times
Arknights don't miss
I think you should check wildfire from Honkai Star Rail! It’s a really good song.
Ok but like Marco cover when tho? XD
i don't know but i like the live version from the Ambience Synesthesia 2022 Concert more...
I haven’t heard it. Can you link?

Yes we even had a nice chat yesterday ;)
Im going to blame you for my latest addiction to Arknight.

seriously tho, they never released the off vocal version of specalter ost. :
Which stream was this song first reacted to?
Has he listened to Winter Absolution yet?
Yeeeaaaaaahhh
You gotta react to The Hunter's Song next then, since you're back with the Abyssal Hunters.
Iirc he already heard of it in his first 1hr+ stream listening to music from last year's events

The truth is , it’s made by the music company with a gacha game as bonus lmao 😂
