Let's Just Live (feat. Casey Lee Williams) by Jeff Williams with Lyrics 

I feel like RWBY is gradually trying to introduce the idea that, even in life's chaos, even if things aren't perfect, optimism is possible.

It's Monty's "keep moving forward" extended into a full song.

I like how the line, "but time will mend our hearts" is contraposed with the line, "not every open wound is simply healed by time" from _Die_. Genius lyricism from Jeff as always!

Fun fact: move onward not there yet spells out Monty

My wife loved this song when it played during Season 4. She had been battling ovarian cancer for two years, and this song spoke very heavily to her. She passed away on June 3rd, 8:07pm GMT -5. She really would have wanted to hear the remainder of the song. The portion at 2:45 still gives me chills, because seriously.. It's exactly how she would have wanted to be remembered. This song is an anthem to her last two years on this earth, and I thank you for sharing this. It's.. Been a big help.

*2024 Anyone?*

Ok. Why the fuck do you keep messing with us. You keep uploading these in progressively better order. I keep having to change my favorite RWBY song every 12 hours

"A friend is suddenly gone" omg Pyrrha :'''(

This Will Be The Day: opening full of energy for a new show ready to burst onto the scene Time To Say Goodbye: opening still energetic, but now hinting at a more somber and solemn background atmosphere and future When It Falls: opening that let's us know that now the show takes its dark turn and all hell breaks loose This song: opening that gives us hope, even in this new, unfamiliar, and even uncomfortable atmosphere, that we can return somewhat to the way things were Jeff Williams could almost craft the stories based on the songs alone. Thank you so much to him, Casey, and RT for this wonderful show and music, and thanks to Flynt for giving us the lyrics to go with it. Can't wait to see what The Next Step will be! *See what I did there. I have unlocked my inner Barbara. ;)*

Monty would be so proud right now.

I love the memento to Monty (and also Pyrrha) . Hearing it the first time made me start to cry. "Always keep moving forward" is RWBY's "Memory is the key".

RWBY status volume 4 Ruby: hopeful. Weiss: Depression Blake: Doubt Yang: PTSD

"And the story takes an unexpected turn/A friend is suddenly gone-" WE SPENT AN ENTIRE YEAR GETTING OVER THEM AND THEN YOU BACK THE SADNESS TRUCK UP AND RUN US OVER AGAIN?!

WHO DISLIKED THIS COME HERE SO I CAN SLAP YOU

"Go forward, you must keep moving on." I keep this song to my heart from this day on.

Move Onward Not There Yet ❤️

"Go forward, you must keep moving on". To the Volume 4 critics out there (I know there are a lot of you), I ask you this: Would Monty have wanted RWBY to end before it's time, when he'd given them enough to, as he always said, 'keep moving forward"? I think we all know the answer to that. My advice to you is not to stop being critical, but voice your criticisms constructively. If the animation is bad, list examples. If you think the pacing is too slow, point out where. If you just think it's not quite the same without Monty, then you're right, and nobody will argue on that point, but know that they aren't trying to be Monty, and that Monty probably wouldn't want them to be him, either. I think that, if there were anyone he trusted, it would be the staff working on it now. So we should keep moving forward, as they are.

You know when I first heard the volume 4 intro I thought "huh this isn't​ that good, this might be Jeff's first song I don't really like" but after hearing the full song I love it, it's beautiful, a masterpiece. Is Jeff just incapable of making songs that aren't amazing or a bad song like WOW.

This is the best RWBY opening and I will die on this hill, from the lyrics to the beat to Casey's vocals, it's just perfect

I had to see like 5 people post: M ove O nward N ot T here Y et Before it hit me. I really must be slow.

I just can't get my crap together today. Noticed a big error on ANOTHER (this) video after I uploaded it. Ended up having to delete, fix, render, then re-upload the video. *Sigh* Anyways, I hope you all enjoy!

Move Onward Not There Yet Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

All these people saying that this song wasn't the best to them, and I'm just over here like, this is the first opening I liked the moment it started playing the first time. It's been my favorite since the first time I heard it and in my opinion is the most heartfelt, catchy, and altogether beautiful openings to be made for RWBY. Of course, this is also taking into account that Casey's voice was an acquired taste for me. I absolutely hated it at first, I didn't get why my datemate was so obsessed with her. But now here I am. just as obsessed if not more.

im not crying, you're crying

So... Who else is, when the show ends, gonna look at every fanfiction, fanart, song, and episode again and again so the show doesn't actually die? Me. (like/dislike/reply if this is gonna be you too)

Awww yeah, Flynt does it again with another great video. RWBY chibi, RWBY soundtracks, RWBY theories. So much RWBY in one day. I feel so happy

This song speaks to me in so many levels. I've been battling depression ever since my mom passed last year. I'm left with what they call "survivor's guilt" and I feel hopeless. I feel stuck in life, hung up with the feelings of regret and yet hoping hard enough everything gets better. this song encapsulates the extreme sadness and the hope of a better tomorrow I'm constantly feeling

I just love how the opening just describe the future events of RWBY or the whole season itself that part for Phyrra though 💔

This is unironically one of my favorite songs of all time. It's practically perfect in every way I can think of, has so many amazing lyrics, the slow part near the end always fucking DESTROYS me emotionally... and then the transition from the pits of hopelessness to finally being happy again is JUST. SO. GOOD. I will never not love this masterpiece...

Getting into RWBY really late. I love this song so much. I wasn't prepared for how emotional the full version would make me feel

Move Onward; Not There Yet That's cool, it's not like I needed my heart intact or anything, anyways...

i have the feeling that at the very moment that MurderofBirds hears "Go forward, you must keep moving on" he is going to burst into tears,and i don't blame him, maybe i'm exaggerating but knowing how passionate he is about RWBY i wouldn't be surprised

Not gonna lie, I think this might currently be my favorite intro song so far. I love how part of it's like a goodbye to loved ones, but if they were here, they wouldn't want us to stop. And as for the actual video, well, you NEVER cease to amaze me, Flynt. Keep up the good work!

Move Onward Not There Yet Spells Monty :'(

move onward not there yet rest in peace 🙏🕊

To Monty!

Still my favorite op. It just has so much feeling behind it, because of the story, bc of monty, and its just a bop in general.

I love that this is a send off to Monty. Even after his death, this show still lives on in everyone's hearts and will continue on. It's a great message to just move on and stay optimistic even through the darkest of times. Wish some people could understand that amazing lesson.

you may not have seen but a while ago I said a big reason I couldn't wait for Vol 4 was that I needed to see your videos on the soundtrack. as Jaune Arc once said, "I stand by what I said."

FUCKIN FINALLY GOT DAMN WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SONG NEVER SEENS THIS SONG CAME OUT FUCK ME LOL I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH BUT DAMN

What I've realized about this song is fhat after the memorial section to Monty - expressing how we should keep moving forward - the song goes into a quiet moment of observation and mourning. Because that moment where you reflect and mourn your loss is still incredibly vital... But soon enough, the guitar kicks back in (maybe where anger comes in at times) and the chorus comes back around again. It's an amazing representation of a healthy grieving process for me.

When I heard "Go forward, you must keep going on" my heart sank

Who's here for hearing the announcement about rwby coming back

"After yesterday is there any way we can trust tomorrow?" The chills and emotions are pouring out my soul!

Most nostalgic season of rwyby mainly because of this theme. Haven't watched the show in years but this always brings back pleasant memories

I cried when the photo changed to Ruby

RIP Rooster Teeth......Move Onwards, Not There Yet

While watching this past Volume I'll be honest, I hated this song as it just did not seem to stand up to the others. However, hearing the full version (better quality at that) has changed my mind and I feel that this is the second best intro song in the show (because can you really beat "This Will be the Day"?) In other words, it's F***ing amazing!

Go forward, we must keep moving on.

this song sums up Volume 4 perfectly. Everyone is trying get past everything they've been through (fall of Beacon, the multiple deaths of friends, Weiss' home life, Blake's regrets, Yang's lost arm). They're just trying their best to survive after so much tragedy while also moving forward in their personal lives (SPOILER: Weiss escapes "house arrest", Blake reconciles with parents, Yang tries out the new prosthetic arm, Ruby searches for answers with Ren, Jaune, and Nora). Also the bridge at 2:33 that was made of Monty made me pause so i could cry my eyes out for a second.

I think it's more a RNJR, or more specifically a Ruby and Jaune song than team RWBY, due to the male vocal back up. The lyrics are sad, and close to things Ruby said during the volume, but the melody is upbeat and full of energy like her. The male vocals only join during the first chorus, and grows in confidence during the second verse, mirroring how Jaune, Ren and Norra were inspired by Ruby into following her, and in Jaune's case repaying the favor when Ruby was starting to feel hopeless and doubting herself. On a meta level, of course the friend gone is Monty, but in the show it's Pyrrha (and the line some dream can't come true is a sad reminder of her song Dream Come True). Jaune and Ruby are the ones who seems to be the most affected by Pyrrha's death (since she watched her die and still has nightmares, and he keep watching again and again her video).

*Storms into RoosterTeeth* *Finds Jeff Williams* *Grabs his shirt* "Don't make me wait so long next time", I say.

I am not going to lie when the sad part came on I cried a little

this song is especially touching to me as recently I lost an amazing friend back in April. he was 18 years old like me. Casey and Jeff always seem to make the perfect songs that help me through my day.

I feel that her voice touches your heart

There's something special about RWBY. I can't quite pinpoint it. But the feeling comes back to me when I listen to the openings.

We all know who she's singing about at 2:56. RIP Monty Oum! 😢😢😢

Gunna Rockstar bikers and chains

Every time I listen to this song I wonder how Jeff came up with that chord progression in the pre-chorus (1:52)... the interchange from major to IV minor then resolving down a fourth to the I major 7. I think it's likely one of those things you happen do by chance one day and then wonder what divine inspiration possessed you. Listening to that chord progression is one of the closest things to magic I've come across in my life. Never heard it in any other piece of music. 💜

Rock star like bikers and chains

I'm probably the minority here but I prefer this song over volume 5's theme. It just hits close to home with me since my brother was killed last year and I really do have to keep moving forward day by day.

You are the BEST. This made my day its worth spending my data Thank you fir your hard work😊

Vol 4: it used to be like a fairy-tale Vol 9: you rang?~

Move Onward Not There Yet

Sorry, just putting this comment for a reminder for me 4:32

rockstar life bikers and chains 🤩😎

Your life is EVERYTHING! You serve ALL PURPOSE! You should treat yourself NOW!

Stupid ninjas cutting onions!!!!

gunna n' weezy bring me here👍

Bro gunna sampled this song

From the lyrics, to the composition to the execution of this song. For me, this is one of the best songs I have ever heard. I can't stop listening to it. RT might of bit the dust but it left us with RWBY and some songs that are amazing.

So this is how you say goodbye to a friend. Damn it, Monty. Come back, please.

Here from Gunna's song "Rockstar Bikers and Chains" amazing sample. 🔥

GUNNA WITH THE SAMPLE

I love this song! This song has many perspective, it can be from RoosterTeeth, Team RNJR, and our perspective. RoosterTeeth lost their friend Monty, but they manage to keep moving forward. RNJR lost Pyrrah and struggle to keep moving forward. And us, facing challenges in our life (losing a friend, looking back on passes, etc.), but we're manage to keep fighting the struggles while we're still on our journey to our happy ending. This is what I came up with, I wonder what's your thoughts.

Doctor: You only have 5 minutes left to live. Me:

HER VOICE IS SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

3:14 Chills Every Time

ROCKSTAR BIKERS & CHAINS

Just one day, let's forget about our problems!

SMITE, anyone?

Thank you so much! I was waiting for the full version of this and it's even better than I thought it would be!

3:21 gives me chills

This song..it's everything Ruby is as a character to me. I imagine her singing this as she's just running through the continent of Anima, trying to keep the spirits of Ren, Nora, and especially Jaune up. He said it himself in Vol. 4, Ep...11, I believe, "You gave us the courage to follow you". And during that sad part in the middle, I imagine Ruby explaining how her grief does get her down, even more so than the others perhaps in some ways (I'm not entirely sure on that), but she still holds there memories close, using them as the force that keeps her going. It's something she's probably used to, seeing as she lost her mother, Summer, at such a young age...and that ending just feels like the ending to Vol. 4, they made it! They're ever so closer to their happy ending and she's excited to see what will come, because she knows she'll always have her friends behind her, because they aren't just her friends or teammates or family...they're her life.

3:21-when the message of Moving Forward begins to build and build. Simply beautiful and uplifting.

Thank you! Just . . . thank you!😳

This song literally brought me to tears, and perfectly explains how I felt about my favorite cousin, who committed suicide about 18 years ago, when I was just entering my teenage years. I was a lonely kid, an only child with no cousins or family close to my age, and it felt like he was the only person in the world who understood me. He was older, being a second cousin, and I always looked up to him. I think often about how different my life might have been if he had survived and made it through his crippling depression. He had so many people who loved and cared about him, but he just couldn't see past the darkness, and it consumed him. We have a relatively small close family, and I'm much younger than anyone else (there were no other kids born to my close family in my generation). The very first thing that went through all my family members' minds was "what is going to happen to HS (me)?" I've had a lot of dark thoughts and some low periods in my life where I was convinced nothing could ever bring me back, but I force myself to remember how I felt, and still feel, after my cousin passed away. It shattered my life at the time, and introduced me to a bitter reality that I wish I hadn't known at such a young age. I try to keep living even when I feel so isolated from reality and happiness, because I never want to put my family or friends through something like that again.

And to think a song from a Rooster Teeth web show is what finally helped me get over my ex

Despite how I feel about RWBY, the soundtrack is fucking awesome.

Wheezy sent me

1. Time to say goodbye 2. When it falls 3. Let's just live 4. This will be the day All great openings but if I had to list them

This song's becoming timeless

Rwby really just said, "Live, laugh, love," huh.

Here because of smite and damn i just liked this song from the battle pass screen

Four years ago seems like such a short time. Rest in peace, Monty. We love you.

This song makes me cr¥ reaL tears whenever I Listen to it

Smite ?

"move onward not there yet" spells monty

I can't be the only one crying
