Disparition - Eliezer's Waltz 

The decision to lie musically for Desert Bluffs version of this song is probably one of the best creative decisions ever. It helps dig in the fact that Kevin is really not reporting what's actually happening

I just imagine Cecil and Carlos dancing under the lights above the Arbys with this song playing from the radio.

Definitely my favourite "Weather" track from "Welcome to Night Vale". Slightly sinister and completely haunting.

This song is so... dark in an inexplicable kind of way. Like a void.

I like to imagine that the ever-present chimes that start the song off symbolize the omnipresence of the Smiling God. You can try to put a cheerful melody over the top of them, but the chimes are always there, just under the surface. Always... (OUO)

A lot of people are saying that this Waltz is the Desert Bluffs version and the other Waltz is the Night Vale version, but everybody seems to forget that Cecil and Kevin trade radio stations before the weather airs. Therefore, this version of the Waltz was put on by Cecil, which would have aired in Night Vale if not for all the portal shenanigans. So technically, THIS is the Night Vale version of the Waltz, in 4/4 time, because Night Vale is a place where nothing works like its supposed to. The fact that the Waltz Kevin puts on is in traditional 3/4 time caters to the idea that Desert Bluffs is a place where rules are meant to be followed WITHOUT QUESTION, which falls in line with the Strexcorp owned Desert Bluffs later involvement in the story. There's also the matter of each station's intros. Night Vale's intro falls more tonally in line with this weather, synthetic sounding, calm, dark. Desert Bluffs intro sounds more organic, with stringed instruments and vocals, bright and sunny sounding, which is similar with the OTHER Waltz. So yeah. This is the Night Vale version. The other Waltz would be the Desert Bluffs version.

It makes sense that this is Dessert Bluffs' weather. Standard music for Nightvale is done by Disparition while the weather is always an indie group. Standard music for Desert Bluffs is more upbeat and "indie" sounding which is opposite to Nightvale. Seems like their weather should follow this same opposite trend.

This kind of makes you think about the real horrors of Desert Bluffs. The song is haunting, but there is almost a hand of false happiness reaching up from the chimes, grasping, and although the mask of happiness is still present, it's desperate. Kevin, however cheery as he may seem, is twisted. We all know this. That mask of fake joy hides a monster. Desert Bluffs is the same way... who knows what's going on there? Is it really a happy place, grinned upon by a smiling god? Or is that yet another mask, and within that town are unspeakable horrors that would make the average sane human being lose everything? Is it's god still smiling, even through bloody teeth? Also take the previous 'Waltz'. "lie lie lie" Were the only lyrics. I don't know if this was a coincidental occurrence or not, but it came just after Kevin stepped through the loophole right? Interpret that as you will. Call it off as a mere coincidence, or become obsessed with it and start writing theories upon trashy and stupid theories like I did. **THROWS THIS IN THE TRASHCAN**

I'm still thinking about these two songs. This version's by the usual soundtrack guy, but it's played in Desert Bluffs, but it's played by Cecil, but he plays it with disgust, just because it's there and he's a professional. I can't quite decide which track is for which town, or character, or whatever else kind of relationship they represent, but the idea with lies in one track and 4/4 time in the other is just brilliant.

Does anyone else find it interesting that the music appears to be lies in the Night Vale waltz (the words sound like lie) but it's a true waltz and Desert Bluffs has the cheery tune that sounds trustworthy (if music can sound trustworthy) but it's a fake waltz?

I think this is one of the more disturbing pieces of weather, myself. It just sounds.. Foreboding. But beautiful, all the same.

I'm not sure which weather is mu favorite: Eliezer's Waltz or The Bus is Late

The differences between the original waltz and disparition's waltz... Features in Sandstorm A and B... this is powerful stuff lol. Very significant that this, darker, version was chosen for Desert Bluffs and the lighter fo Nightvale

They may have good music, but this doesn't excuse the fact that their baseball team is terrible... Just terrible...

Hard to believe this song is 7+ years old. It hit me a few times this week and I couldn’t place it until today and couldn’t remember the name. Thankfully I had it saved. Makes me want to pick up the show again

Disparition is so underrated. Great trip-hop track (even if it technically isn't a waltz). I gotta say, I hate Desert Bluffs more than anything, but they does gots sum great music ;D

This is so beautiful and slightly creepy, I can't stop listening.

Probably my all time favorite Weather. I could listen to this song all day...

I think this is actually my favourite musical piece from that wonderful podcast.

This is the only song that I think could theoretically replace WTNV's current opening song :3 its just got that vibe to it!~

Does anyone else think this sounds kind-of like fur Elise at some parts? I think so, and it makes it creepier and more serene for me.

This is my ABSOLUTE favorite episode.

What nice weather we're having

I sometimes listen to this at night and it puts me right to sleep. Thanks NightVale for introducing me to Disparition.

It's beautifully calming.

The first I heard this I actually didn't let the rest of the episode play. I had to rewind it to the start of the weather it's that good.

Favorite Welcome to Night Vale weather!

oh my Chuck! I've just listened 800% slowed down version and it was amazing! Now i've listened at ×2 fast and it's still beautiful and scary as hell

... Is it my theme song?

this was published on my birthday :o

The melody reminds of some soundtrack of a Soviet Era movie.

Holy crap I never realized that the weather for this episode was a different version of the song from Sandstorm A until now. !

Thank you for uploading.

lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie

I think this really conveys how hollow Desert Bluffs really is with it sounding like hold music rather than an actual song. Creative choice there.

this is calming

Love you, Ciaomunch.

The Desert Bluffs version (or, at least, the one Kevin plays while in Night Vale - technically it could be argued that this is the Desert Bluffs version since Cecil finds it on Kevin's desk) from Part A is most certainly in 3/4, though... hmm...

This reminds me a lot of Silent HIll.

Really Cool!

Favourite

Nice forecast.

wish this was on spotify :(((

Desert Bluffs has great weather too

So I can’t find this song at all on Apple Music even though I can find (I think) all other songs by Disparition. Even if I just search this song title. Kinda weird but it just adds to the mystery of WTNV. I wish I could download it though, this is probably one of my favorite songs.

I feel terrible saying this, but Desert Bluffs version of Eliezer's Waltz is better then Night Vale's. BUT on the bright side, this isn't even a real WALTZ. Desert Bluffs can't do ANYTHING right.

this has similar vibes to the Risk of Rain ost & i love it

This is one of my favorite Weathers, but I have one complaint to lodge: it's not in 3/4 time.

Can someone tell me where I can purchase this particular song? I can't find it on their website.

LISTEN IN SYNC WITH ITS TWIN!

I like this one more than the original

Watch at 1.25 it's a better tripper experience

I wonder which Eliezer this refers to. I have an emotional connection to Ellie Wiesel, the author of Night, so I think of him.

The same people who did the theme to wtnv

...because of course in Night Vale, a waltz is in 4/4 time...

the song sounds similar to the nightvale intro song

I see that you are an actor and a LARPer . When you have been to Magischola can you tell me if it is closer to acting or LARPing? I am asking due to the fact that they assign characters....Please and Thx Jennie

Hello I’m an Eliezer

Hi

CARLSBERG.

.

It's done by the same artist, so I can see why.

excuse you.

Eliezer? Who are they?

This is wonderful and all but it's not in 3/4....XD curse you Eliezer, you can't even have a proper waltz

Not a waltz, but whatever, still good.

Will I be the last comment ?

wtf, I loved reading the book years ago, and only today I found by luck that there are some music ??
