Chris Christodoulou - Double F!$%ing Rainbow Returns | ROR Returns (2023) 

Thanks again for censoring the swear words, my cat uses this website everyday and i dont want him listening to music like that

You finally did it Chris, a decade of saving the children from your song titles; now you can finally rest

Honestly, I like contrast between brothers' themes Providence's sounds like: "I won't give up just yet." And Mithrix's is like: "GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY MOON!"

I love how between "Double Fucking Rainbow", "You're Gonna Need a Bigger Ukulele", "The Face of the Deep" and now THIS, this has been solidified as the official "OH SHIT" theme of the series, which is made even more poignant by the usage of the game's main theme leitmotif in this particular composition. The rain has indeed returned, and oh, how it thunders! Much love, Chris! Amazing work as always!

i know that the double f***ing rainbow riff didn't really start out as any special theme, it only really became that when it became part of "you're gonna need a bigger ukulele", and then later got referenced in " the face of the deep", but let's be honest everyone kinda considers it the "final boss leitmotif kinda thing" at this point so you cannot imagine how happy i am that it kinda got retconned into the providence fight as well, but without just straightup replacing the original song, which i wouldn't have wanted but the buildup with what i consider the "risk of rain" leitmotif (the 4 notes that appear all over coalescence and various other tracks), also the sound textures basically uniting your old style from ror1 with the newer stuff from survivors of the void, up until that big reveal this song has it all this song is the culmination this song is risk of rain

hell yeah my favorite track double fishing rainbow

And so he left, his music title still censored for the cats.

Being COMPLETELY blind on the new game, but played 5 years or ROR1 and a ton of ROR2, and this hitting and a SUDDEN FOURTH PHASE? You guys found a way to bring back that "First time playing" feeling with this banger. I was so excited

i've never played ror1 and i had no plans of buying ror returns, but your music has genuinely convinced me to buy it. thanks man

Was super hyped to hear this play during Providence’ new phase. Finally ties the 3 bosses together with a shared motif across their songs, here’s hoping it follows suit with the False Son…

"You thought me defeated?" Commando: **Confused Screaming**

When the green lasers show up and you see "You thought THAT was enough to kill ME?!" and you hear this, it's like a top 3 ror moment. the "OHSHITOHSHIT" that this motif brought so many times is back

A Rainbow Fishing, Doubly

Inarguably the most remarkable motif in the entire trilogy so far. From Double Freaking Rainbow, to You're Gonna Need a Bigger Ukulele, then to The Face of the Deep, now finishing with tremendous precipitation into this absolute master of a piece. Can't wait for even more versions of this legendary feeling that it gives to me.

The cover artwork summarizes pretty much the whole game and I love it 'Tiny astronaut vs big things: The game: reloaded'

OH MY GOD. I was caught so off guard by the new phase. I was so relieved to have finally beaten Providence and then the music begins to drum back up and... BWOOOOOOOOM FIRE EVERYWHERE! I LOVE IT! Your music helps bring even more life to the beautifully animated sprites. It is truly an exquisite combination, thank you Chris for the stunning iconic soundtracks of these games

"You thought me defeated..?!"

Ok, who put my double f***ing rainbow in 4/4?

...and so he returned, making songs that slap even harder

We’re making it out of Petrichor V with this one 🔥 🔥 🔥

As Engineer, deploying his Prototype Laser Turret at exactly 1:31 is the perfect timing for it to blast Providence as the music drops. I have become well practiced in the timing.

Triple harmony is fucken crazy

Been listening to your music since ror dropped in 2013, this is my new favorite. When I first heard it I literally said "OH SHIT" out loud. Your music has always conveyed a lot of emotion and certainly made the game way more impactful for me. Love your work!

*Proceeds to beat the boss the first time* *Waits for credits* *The music begins to crescendo and sky darkens* *"DID YOU THINK ME BEATEN?"* *gets killed by the boss due to the unexpectancy*

These names are always so deep and relatable

Just saving this to my favorites playlist in advance. I loved the small samples of this track that we've heard, so getting to hear the full version will be just another highlight of my day. Edit: Damn that was cool. Hearing it in game was incredible, it really made me feel like a badass.

Ever since I first heard this in the original RoRR trailer, I have been eagerly awaiting its official release. And now since that day has come, I am beyond ecstatic.

Cool music

the drums rhythm and sounds are so powerful holy hell and the screeching guitar/synth lead leaves me speechless chris just take my number already

The Last Stand of a God against a threat he himself brought upon him and his planet. Love it!

Risk of Rain Returns wouldn't be Risk of Rain without your music.

damn this slaps as always. I like how music is so consistent with the ror theme yet so unique

This is actually some of the best music I’ve heard in my life. I discovered the ROR and DEADBOLT games because I came across the music and loved it so much that I decided to buy the games (usually it’s the other way around) to hear the music in its intended setting. You have been by far my favorite composer ever, I genuinely cried while listening to Coalescence after all these years.

Interesting to note that the magma worm on the cover art for ROR returns is actually upside down (the eye is on the bottom of the magma worms jaw) also Chris, your music is actually chillingly amazing. Since risk of rain the first, to now, every time you release music my jaw drops!! Keep up the amazing work! Can't wait for ror2 DLC!!!

This theme singlehandedly skyrocketed Providence as one of my favorite final bosses of all time. The fight itself was action packed, and was really fun, but then I get jump scared by that unexpected final phase, and this banger starts playing in the background. I love how this letimotif keeps reappearing, and how it connects everything together. Providence, Mithrix, and even Voiding all share this motif somewhere in there tracks, and it's beautiful how subtle, yet also obvious it is to connect them together And I saw somewhere that Chris said we may see the theme again, and I bet you it'll be in the theme for the False Son in SotS...

I lost my shit when I heard this in the trailer but somehow it's even better than I thought it would be. Damn...

I wasn't gonna get the game but the soundtrack changed my mind.

Ah! This was the song used for the trailers!

You know shit’s about to get serious when Providence starts speaking in broken English

Triple F***ing Rainbow

That signature guitar-like synth used throughout the soundtrack is just so wonderful. Can't get enough of it, it's like musical crack.

"You thought me defeated?"

...and his music was family friendly. again. cannot believe that bs even happened, great tracks as always man.

this is a historic moment :)

This is one of my newest favorite ROR tracks, it's just so cool!!

what a blast, goes hard

The drops of the Double Fucking Rainbow motif go so hard, but actually the parts in between give this track a unique identity, i love them

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH it’s everything I’ve ever asked for this is amazing

Double Fishing Rainbow

This has got to be my favorite song from the ost just that low beat build up to that explosion

The ONLY negative thing about this theme, through all of the iterations, has been that by the time it gets to the hype parts either the boss is already dead or I am, and there is literally no in between with this game lmao. Absolutely amazing track as always though Chris!

Yay! Double Fishing!

I was so, so happy when I saw this released. More music from Chris is making me gleee. RoR2 was my favourite game soundtrack of the decade rivaled maybe only by Hunt Showdowns music. Eagerly waiting for more tracks.

Chris don't miss

epic, missed your works of art dude, keep going!

chris is truly the hero of all time for censoring the evil swears so we can remain safe

Double [Protect the Children]

This piece, much like Providence himself, moves with more purpose than any song that uses the Double Fucking Rainbow leitmotif. Then, it withdraws a bit, showing how enigmatic of a character Providence is to the Survivor at this point in time. He gets them wondering: who is this guy? Why was he so hellbent on bringing down the Contact Light? He moves with more purpose, but what is his purpose? And most of all, why does the Survivor feel like they've made a terrible mistake?... ...Why did they have a teleporter from Petrichor V on the ship?

banger incoming

Fisting rainbow

Absolute banger

How does it feel to go back and 'Remaster' your own tracks?

It's coming back to us, improved.

The kids are safe again Thank you Chris. Without you censoring words, every child would be in danger

0:35 actual ptsd trigger holy f!$k!

Eyyyyyy! Boi, this one is always on my 'Favorites' playlist...This will be EPIC!!

fuck yea it returns bay bee

RISK OF RAIN RETURNS‼‼‼

Missed opportunity to call it Quadruple [DEMONETISED] Rainbow that sounded a lot funnier in my head

LETS GO

Se viene lo bueno

WE ARE SAVING THE CHILDREN WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥

Spoilers: HE HAS A FOURTH PHASE I REPEAT HE HAS A FOURTH PHA- "ded"

Are you going to do an album commentary for the returns tracks as well, I’d love to see one

What about commentary on this album? So excited to hear some more about it from you!

When it drops, the sheer electricity is paupable enough to make every single hair fiber stand the hell up

THE NOSTALGIA

you've set the bar really high for video game soundtracks, keep it the -defenestration- up

I like how the remastered version had Werner in the censored word and the remix has Herzog

You have already space for yours tracks in my playlists, master)

You did it. You saved the children. It’s over

Chris Christodoulou Returns!

YESSSSSSSSS

It sends shivers down my spine

When im about to rock providence, i let this play then rock em

I killed stage 3 Providence only for him to kill me at the same time... this started playing slowed down on the death screen it was badass af.

This has criminally low amount of comments. Yet.

i beat Providence last night, and when this played as he got back up and started doing his own pizza cutter i started freaking the fuck out, never in my life did i expect that to happen

The legend returns ^^

That phase 4 jumpscared me i almost had a heart attack

I love how proviedence just needed to take a breather for a moment Then double fishing rainbow starts playing and you get evaporated 10/10

HERZOG, my favorite word to censor words with.

Oh, frabjous day!

I absolutely love those notes where it bends up or down to like 1/4 step. Don't know if that was actually the case but I just love that effect. It feels wild and primal.

Ladies and Gentlemen, he's back.

Imagine if you were on a date and she asks you: "what's your favorite song?" Then you look her in the eyes and say: "Double fucking rainbow returns"

thanks, chris

Only the best

My first time playing Risk of Rain one in any capacity was with this game, and the OST really took me by surprise. I knew to expect good things since I played RoR2 as well, but the moment around 1:40 really brought the tension during the final boss to 11. Very well done!

nobody can kill a engineer with 10+ mushroom bungus but if 100 *run*
