I feel like a lot of the basic do-dee-doos in Mining Co and DANZA are basic "western stings" but when its 3 in a row descending each time thats 100% north star
I really didn't know if people would like it. Well I guess you'll be happy to know I plan on making a video about the leitmotiv in starbound (I got the permission of Curtis Schweitzer and he said that there's a leitmotif for every race, and confirmed that the Ruin leitmotif was... well... the Ruin leitmotif)
Now that I think about it, the Undertale Yellow and Starbound soundtracks are both indirectly related to Toby Fox. Toby Fox almost made the Starbound soundtrack.
I feel like the (for lack of a better term) "Western sound effect" is a leitmotif for Justice. Of course Starlo embodies his own sense of Justice which is doing whatever will bring wellbeing to his loved ones and the Wild East. Sunnyside Farm feels more like his true leitmotif, as the young farmer boy who loves to spread joy to others.
What a coincidence, I was planning to make a video about the justice leitmotif, and my brain is melting from trying to figure out if the melodies I found were the justice leitmotiv or just other leitmotiv that were in the same tracks
Here's how I see it -- when it's just the single, three-note bit, it's not "North Star's" motif. That's not to say he's not involved, but rather, it's not representing him in particular - the version in the Wild East theme (and variations thereof) represents the whole community. "North Star's" motif is the specific variation where it plays a second time, shifted down a tone. The repetition means it's *his moment to shine*, and he's going the extra mile to really hit this sheriff thing home. And it's taken to its extreme in Showdown, where there's a third, and then a fourth, showing how deeply ingrained it's become in him. Sunnyside Farm almost seems like the exception, but honestly, it still lines up. He's finally letting the obsession go, but that doesn't mean he has to give up his love of the act completely. So he still gets a little bit of that Wild East style, even at home.
some of you might not have noticed, but the middle part of Sunnyside Farm (about 0:20-0:30 of the song) is actually a variant of a melody from Showdown! (4:20-4:23 and 4:26-4:28 in this video) and the last part of Sunnyside Farm is just Wild East (otherwise known as mus_f_6s_6) but beat 4 is removed
I suggest you do one for yellow soul theme from flowey's fight in the OG Undertale. Few examples are the beginning notes of "the Wild East (and all its variants)", During a Mother's Love, and the latter half of "Retribution".
I find it cute to hear Starlo's leitmotif in Ceroba's theme. It shows how important he is in her life even though she has that obsession with perpetuating Chujin's will.
@@yoshiflash579 my favourite part is the one with the _Once Upon A Time_ and _Justice 3_ leitmotiv. And also the part afterwards with the _Oasis Valley leitmotif_
I'm working on the Justice leitmotif right now, and then I'll probably do the wild east and feisty five leitmotiv, but then I'll probably do that one since it's pretty popular demand
I like to think that the reason of why his leitmotif is just a standard Western do-dee-doo is because he watched all the Wild West movies, heard it and made it his leitmotif(basically his whole persona is based on movies). Kinda works for me.
I mean we've had times in OG undertale where a character's motif played way before they were introduced. Undyne's theme plays in waterfall. And it also for some reason plays in ruins??
The Ruins leitmotif isn't Undyne's leitmotif, her leitmotif is in Spears of Justice, Bring it in guys, and is very well hidden in some of her other themes. The Ruins leitmotif is considered to be the underground's leitmotif, although we can't really be sure.
The Ruins motif is the underground motif... Undyne uses it because she's fighting for the underground in her fights its used in waterfall and ruins because theyre important historic places for the monsters
I think I was the one who put Orange Skies there on the wiki, and to me it's the trailing part at the end (5:54-6:04) that sounds like it (probably easiest to hear compared to Showdown's version of it)
Well thanks for telling me. Since you seem to have knowlege of leitmotiv, I made a post about the justice leitmotif yesterday, I'd be happy to recieve some help
There are a lot of songs in Starlo's town that are just different versions of the others with the same melodies, but I did make a video about the Justice leitmotif if you're interested
Thank you. Well... Normally I find all the leitmotiv myself, but for Undertale Yellow, I used the wiki to make sure I didn't miss any before making the videos (and I sure did miss a lot of leitmotiv)
If you consider that western vibe sound as Star's leitmotif, then you could perhaps include "specimen: mechanical" as well. Idk if it's intended or not but it kinda sounds alike.
I think that Mining Co does indeed have the North Star leitmotif, because one of the machines that drop rocks down the mountains had a "Signature of Ownership: North Star" sign written on a piece of paper
I think you should use another font for the video, this one doesn't fit at all, otherwise you're doing a really great job covering these! Try downloading the one from Undertale, I'm not sure which one is it though
Ok im curious. I'm new to leitmotifs n all, but is there a song that originates the motif? Or is it just common notes in/parts of songs surrounding the character that are considered the motif? Sorry im like. i just found this and im curious.
A mother’s love contains both this leitmotif and Martlet’s leitmotif back to back for a section, which would imply that this is in fact Starlo’s motif. Otherwise, yeah it is mostly the wild east motif, and used a lot in his battle song
There were several small debates in the comments, and we reached the conclusion that it's Starlo's leitmotif only when it appears twice. It is a leitmotif since it doesn't always appear with the same instrument
@@bork6996 usually I still count is as a leitmotif, but having the same melody appear in different musics with different instruments is definitely a leitmotif and not a coincidence
