Arcane: Bridging the Rift | Part 4 - Musical Misfits 

No no no Riot you don’t understand. I want a 30 minute episode on *each song* in the soundtrack, not one for all of them

"The league audience will tell us how they feel" had me dead 😂

I just realized, when we get season 2 we will likely get a bunch of absolutely masterpiece songs with it. I can't wait

Arcane had next level production on all fronts but the music... The music was truly out of this world, elevated the series to even higher standards

The Finale and "What could have been" by Sting had broken my soul and made me cry like a Baby. That was Peak Animation, Emotion and Music for Me, We will miss you Silco!

It absolutely amazes me how incredible the Arcane team is. They deserve every inch of respect. Everything they create is just stunning.

one of the greatest projects ill ever be a part of. love this team so much, and so grateful to have the arcane community listening to the music we made, thanks everybody ❤️ alex

Christian's unwavering dedication and passion for a project like Arcane to come into fruition is so inspiring.

"You win the nerd contest", yea that pretty sums up everyone working on arcane 😆 outstanding work there's not a soul who isnt eager to see all of you working on this masterpiece. You blew the roof off and set the new high standards. Everything from now on will be compared to arcane and y'all should be proud

22:17 They had the whole audience on hold to finish a ranked game 😂😂

Man let me say this, the music was THE element that made Arcane, Arcane. I mean some songs still make me emotional by just listening to them and remembering the moment when I first heard it in the series, the combo of the events and beautiful music just made everything work perfectly without any mistakes or anything. It was perfect and thank you for changing my way of life by guiding me with your music. Respect Riot music team

The Ekko Vs Jinx fight will forever be one of the most amazing scenes I've ever seen on screen. The combination of everything is just... It's just what makes Arcane so special.

I knew arcane was, wild but Christan is blowing me out of the water, this man is fricken barbie, he can do anything

These guys just took insane artists, told them "Aight. Go wild" and threw them in the project. And thus, we now have a mind-blowing masterpiece 👏

I love that they animated Ray into that theatre scene. He's amazing!

The music in Arcane serves more as a method of storytelling rather than just aesthetic choices, and that's really cool

The Sting choice was SO CORRECT. The way he sounds so RIGHT at the scene - it's very impressive.

It goes to show that when companies with a lot of money actually give leniency to the creators and don't pressure them to conform to shareholder interest and deadlines, that wonderful things can be created. Riot just continues to collect W's everywhere they go and with everything they touch.

YES FINALLY AN EPISODE ON THE MUSIC! I’m a huge music nerd, it’s such an interesting and often overlooked part of any media, live action or not. It adds layers and amazing flare to a scene and is pretty difficult to nail down. Sometimes the music can make or break a scene, and with Arcane it absolutely makes the show 10000 times better

Dan from Imagine Dragons: " We definitely been late on stage in front of tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of people, because we were finishing a ranked League of Legends game and.. we didn't want to get banned. " 😂

Please take all the time you need for Season 2. Five, six years, more, we can wait. Another masterpiece is a far, far better product than a rushed but forgettable moment.

If you enjoyed the music then you definitely need to listen to Mako's album Fable. Since he worked on alot of the songs on the show it will be right up your alley.👌

19:26 I'm so glad PVRIS was chosen to be a part of this shows soundtrack, specially as big entrance for Vi's character. Lynn really has the vibes of Vi. Everyone should really listen to their music Use Me is a really great album also White Noise and AWKOH, AWNOH.

Arcane Season 2 hype is gonna be Pure Unadulterated Badass.

Now I want to rewatch the whole show just to pick out character themes and analyze the changes in them depending on what the character is going through.

0:47 So they know it. As someone that was there when Get Jinxed first launched I got enamored with LoL exactly because of the high octane music and animation, the absolute insanity of that video that oozed personality, and every music and animation since then has been if not better than the last brimmed with new potential and dedication.

Whaaaat?!?! I had no idea Riot also wrote all of the songs?!?! The music for the series is one of the (many) highlights for me. This whole making-of series has been great, but this episode really surprised me.

19:58 I remember hearing Snakes for the first time, and being completely overwhelmed . Christian: “it’s pretty cool”

Sting was such a PERFECT fit to close out the season. How his voice lingers in your brain after the final shot of Mel turning around right before the rocket blows up, it's just perfect. I can't wait to see what the season 2 finale will be

The investment that Riot made in the production of this show was easily one of the greatest corporate expenditures.

Honestly, I’ll never stop obsessing over the sheer dedication for the making of Arcane. The music team killed it.

Writer's were like “What if we put each songs in every episode” Bro this is brilliant!!

This is by far my favourite part of the bts. Seeing Mako talk about Music and especially about "What could have been" always makes me happy. I always loved Mako, my parents were to countless Sting concerts in their time - this always felt like 2 worlds finally coming together. Been a Sting Fan ever since.

FINALLLLLYYYYY!!!!! MUSIIIICCCCC!!!!!!! 8:20 SIR RAY CHEN!!!😀😀😀 IDOL FINALLY GETS HIS SPOTLIGHT‼️ 16:30 my eyes just opened wide realizing what 3 songs did to just a few minutes of action😲 like it turned into a novel-like narration 21:45 IMAGINE DRAGONS IN THE HOUSE‼️‼️‼️ MY GHAD! I AM GLAD I DID NOT SLEEP OR ELSE, I'D BE CRYING REALIZING THIS FROM OTHER PEOPLE😵 Still remember how I first watch their piece WAYYYYYYY before this became a clip for various memes. Watching it as it was after or during production before Arcane's global release... I feel sort of emotionally invested😖😭😀 24:35 a fitting song for an end of a very, very, long rollercoaster ride with loops among loops of emotions that make you go from one end of a spectrum to the other end all in just a few seconds of film and music... ARCANE IS GOAT‼️ After screaming, crying, and yearning for its music since episode 1, I have finally seen it😭... I watched the series while I was the lowest part of my life... It made me invest myself into characters such as Silco and Viktor. If this was made by a different company, characters like them would be left out and all the resources would be piled up onto the main story ones such as the sisters, Vi and Jinx, and also Jayce... Subjectively, this was perfect! No... They created the standard quality for this genres of a series and destroyed a generation's norm related to video games becoming a movie/film series. But what I love is the.... MUSIC‼️🎼🎻 I love classical music and if I was asked to listen to other genres, I would listen to pop, specifically, ALL THE WORLD'S THEME SOUNDTRACK‼️ League music, from ingame, to champion teasers, to events, and onto its themed song releases, is what I have been listening to since Lee Sin had an additional 3 wards from a jungle item he could buy... Now, I am in college, depression hit hard and failed a major courses, I was trying to find an outlet... Who knew Rise would make me more emotional than how I saw Faker played back then😅 Overall, I love music... Adding Ray Chen and Imagine Dragons in this episode gave me some hype and something to get interested in again... I can only say. Thank you.❤️

As a violin player, I absolutely loved all the songs and solos Ray did, and it was soooo interesting to get such an insight into the amazing music behind this show

To everyone working on Arcane, Thank you, thank you so much, you created a masterpiece !

I see why Arcane turned out to be a masterpiece now. The people who worked on it are amazing

You guys didn't create a show, You created a full on artistic masterpiece. I hope one day I will be able to help work on this show. It's inspired me beyond the scope of most animated shows. Magnificent! thanks for making these incredivle videos too, so insighful & just a pleasure to watch.

There is no way these artists are human, this is the level after "next level"

It is fascinating how much talent from EU they have brought in, animation AND orchestra. Working long-distance with people over such a long period of time can truly be a hassle but it was clearly worth it.

As a music nerd this episode gived me goosebumps, especially seeing Ray Chen there and Sting, can't get over the music for this show it's no day that I don't listen at least one song of the soundtrack. I'm exited sorry ssjsjcsa keep it up Riot best music company. with love a Latin America fan

For me the music really had a huge impact. The final scene and Sting's music is always on my mind, along with woodkid's song and that jinx's scene - if you know you know. They put so much care into making Arcane, I'm really happy that the world received it so well and was able to apreciate every artistic detail that was put into it. I had no idea that Christian was so involved in this tho, he trully deserves much more praise for his work and talented mind

Everything about Arcane is 10/10, but the music is 11/10!

"The league audience will tell us how they feel" had me dead

Guys what you did with the music is a literal MASTERPIECE I'm OBSESSED!!! still to this day, listening to both the score and the pop ones ON REPEAT 💜🤤

Crazy that they got Sting to sing that final song

NO NETFLIX, I don't want the next episode to start, I first want to hear this song completely.

The final song in season 1 is the most memorable piece of music ever used in a TV show, at least any that I've watched. An absolute crescendo of emotion and energy, these guys are all geniuses.

I love arcane so much that I can’t say it with words. Each part is so beautiful. Bridging the rift is my dopamine.

This show's that you can't just "replace" people every time. They kept their artists around.

The music team can be so proud of their achievement on Arcane. Everything was absolutely perfect and the music hit so hard.

I'm so lucky to be alive in this era to witness the beauty and the talent of so many people who created one of my favorite and most beloved shows. Thank you Rito and associates.

IM BEGGING they give Chrissy Costanza a song for season 2. She's done 2 worlds songs, absolutely smashed it and I think just all around she and ATC deserve much more recognition than they've gotten so far

oh my god i couldnt even breathe when i heard the violin solo there by ray, what an astronishing musician

I really hope we get a retrospective episode because I want to Christian and the gang recieving the fruits of their labours. I can't believe how much work truely went into Arcane it's inspiring

OMG!!! Кристиан выступал в немецкой группе Panik, которую я обожала в свои 16 лет ! Я познакомилась с его творчеством ещё 13 лет назад, не могу в это поверить ! ❤ Мое сердечко почувствовало эту связь, потому что Аркейн - это лучшее ТВ-шоу, что я видела. Восхищаюсь всей командой ❤

Goodbye is my favorite soundtrack in the series ❤

-We would like Sting. -Oh yeah, would you? Accurate.

They're really crushing it with Arcane!

Спасибо огромное за то что добавляете русские субтитры! В это тяжелое время для русскоязычного комьюнити в связи с развязанной войной, очень приятно чувствовать что нас не бросили на обочину, а все ещё помнят что мы тоже фанаты. Миру Мир! Хуй Войне! Когда то наступит день и все закончится!

I guess this is where your Riot money goes towards, and im okay with that, i would also love to see more about the game side of Riot and how those people work and do things in league , wildrift, tft, Valorant, etc. theres so much happening i dont think Arcane needs to be the only highlight Bridge the rift in our Dev team aswell.

Как только увидел скрипача в сцене с Виктором, подумал что он выделяется на фоне остальных персонажей, как будто его лицо слишком реалистичное. Приятно узнать, что его срисовали с реального скрипача который приложил много сил чтобы сыграть для нас эту потрясающую музыку

''When you hear the voice enter you're just like ''is that STING??" that is EXACTLY what I thought when first watching episode 9 and then I ended up crying like crazy. xD Very emotional moment for me, you couldn't have found a better performer for this song

Pvris coming clutch. I love them

Every time I hear "Guns for Hire" I feel a chill down my spine and many feelings come to my mind... What you all did with music is beyond perfect

I'm sorry but I have to say it: Christian was in the german band Nevada Tan?! Had a freaking crush on him as a teen! I'm amazed. They were basically the "linkin park" of germany in 2007 - ca. 2009 I think?

I don't like the gameplay. But the company's collection of artists for everything else involved is by far in the highest tier of this generation.

I don't play league but Arcane is just THAT GOOD that it brought me into this sphere

As an art student ( 3D modelling specifically) seeing the softwares and everything come together is so inspirational to me. Just seeing that something that I am starting to learn in school, be applied in such a magnificent way is breathtaking.

The music for this show is one of the most inspiring projects I've ever heard. The score, the songs, all of it. Absolutely flawless.

I've been a long term fan of PVRIS. I'm not really up-to-date with new tv shows and the way I ran into Arcane was through hearing their song (it was just so good that I was like "well why not try the show, even if its just to get to the section they sing for"). I feel like such a proud fan that they were really important for that part of the story, the song definitely feels mostly PVRIS (I really loved the song before I watched arcane, and I like it even more now with the context) and yes I completely agree, Vi and Lynn feel similar LOL

i'm so happy that woodkid took that song , its a masterpiece !!! it's my favorite song from all the show

STING was the only choice. His voice is haunting. What a legend.

The arcane team is beyond incredible

I swear the most down to earth people create some of the most out of this world content

Riot Music Team : Challengers, Radiants, Champions but most importantly Legends!

It’s amazing to see all of this bc we all know that Arcane is quite possibly one of the best works of television *of all time* everything abt it is amazing, so of course it was created with so much care and effort and investment cause it could not fail and honestly I wish every show, or every piece of media for that matter, were created like this.

They are doing an incredible work with this show and i have so much faith that season 2 will be as perfect as the first one

The Sting song is hands down the best they've ever done, it rips my heart out and shreds it in peaces every time I hear it. Especially the live performance a the game awards....

I can't express enough admiration for the artists and composers for putting so much thought into the character themes. I absolutely adore Silco's theme, precisely because it's not villainous at all, if anything, it's calm and loving, but it also has deep sadness and sort of feeling of something lurking just beneath the peaceful surface. Just like Silco.

the music the music the music.... words cannot express my feelings while watching this, the power of music is truly different from anything else

Am I the only one who chokes on half an episode with tears and pauses to watch to the end, or does anyone else have similar problems?

Arcane is in every way the best thing I've ever watched in my entire life. with the most emotional resonance inside me.

Песни так хорошо написаны, что я начинаю рыдать лишь услышав 5-10 секундный кусочек и вспоминая, что при этом происходило в самом сериале, а учитывая сколько усилий было приложено к созданию каждой детали я плачу еще усердней) Спасибо, спасибо всем кто принимал участие в создании Аркейна, для меня это лучший анимационный проект! Буду ждать 2 сезон сколько потребуется, не торопитесь, ребята, вдохновения Вам!)))

These people are true superstars! How can Riot have SO much talent under one roof?!

I love this documentary. As someone who is merely an intellectual nerd and knows nothing of technology and artistry - has no feel for it either - when I am immersed the series as audience, I can see that it's amazing, but I have no clue as to why it's amazing. This docuseries opens my eyes as to the why - but also to how amazing it actually is. I couldn't imagine the crazy amount of talent and talents and different tasks and elements have to gather to make something like this. It's astonishing and humbling. Most videoxaudio media like films and series I consider more as pieces of entertainment, but this is truly a piece of art - and these people are truly artists.

Well that was a good half hour spend crying. the music's a magical thing

The soundtrack is a masterpiece, I've not had it off Spotify since I saw Arcane.

All the music from Arcane gives me chills so yeah I basically had chills throughout this entire video

Music is like sorcery to me. How people can be so skilled and creative at something I have zero talent with always blows my mind. 😵

I cry everytime I hear goodbye. Yes, I had a little tear during this episode.

Everything about arcane makes me more inspired about doing my art even more, thank you for inspiring people with everything you do and please keep doing it because y'all are amazing at this.

Episode 3 ending was one of the most emotional even more than the ending of season one too bad they didnt show that part here :(. On the other side you guys are legends already thank you for everything.

At 9:15, when one of Ray Chen's violin bow hairs breaks, I felt like adding it to the animation in the show would have added a great effect for both the power of the performance and surrounding drama and a little insinuation on its fragility and consequences.

I’m so glad they’re doing this lil mini series bc they have seriously changed animation

This show is literally a masterpiece, no doubt about that.

Oh man, I really love these behind the scene stories. There is a question that has been bugging me for quite some time: Will there be a BluRay release of Arcane? The show, the behind the scenes material, everything is there. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

He was right, I was legit like "wait wtf is that sting?" the first time I watched the final scene. The music of the show is just out of this world, espeically Goodbye, Enemy and The Monster you created always make me feel so much when hearing them, and the others are also really amazing.

I beg you riot: please take all the time you need to ace the 2nd season as well and make it the masterpiece it deserves to be. ATLA is currently still my favourite animated series of all time, but this def has massive potential to transcend it!

This was the episode for the documentary series that I was really looking forward to. The music of Arcane spans many genres and elevates the scenes in each episode. And the songs are so good and make you feel like they're being played in the setting for real. Like you can think that "Enemy" is being played on the radio in the Undercity.
