Music Producer Reacts to RISE (ft. The Glitch Mob, Mako, The Word Alive) - League of Legends 

*Thanks for watching my videos, here is my original music on Spotify, Apple, etc! **fanlink.to/joeynatomusic*

“Birds rise before they fly” -Nato 2019

Joey: "Rise effect **points** RISE." Song: "RISE" On-screen: "RYZE" As a League player, that single moment was kinda amazing.

Joey: *explains the details in each sound that makes the song good* Me: *nods in agreement knowing full well that idk shit what he's talking*

Joey: "RISE" Song: "RISE" Animation: "RYZE" My stomach: "RICE"

*Hears birds noises Nato: Those are birds FBI: This man is too dangerous to be left alive

Me: "Listening proudly cause I know the song in and out" Joey: "I like these piano chords" Me: "what piano chords??" *Edit: Guys we did it! I got my new hearing aid so, Joey.... I am ready this time.... I wont unhear these piano chords next time!!!! (❤︎ J k ---> I am glad that I wasn't the only one with hearing problems ❤︎ )

**A person clapping their hands** Me: **Claps hands**

How To Really Experience "Rise": 1. Watching the Cinematic. 2. Watching Joey Nato for the song. 3. Watching Chris Connor for the cinematography. 4. Going back to watch the Cinematic again and Ascending™.

Joey: do you hear this in the background? Me on my 10$ headset: yea..

And I already know this gonna hit one mill so congrats nato

"Those.... are birds." Me: * instantly subscribes *

RISE is even more amazing with the context of the video. At 9:04 the lyrics are "And when the giants call to ask what you're worth" while the "Main character" of the video finds the best player in the history of the game, a legit giant.

When he said "those are birds" I felt that

U r right about the singer’s voice. The effects turn the voice too much and make this song so good. When this song performed live, that was the worst thing u ever hear

When he has reacted to KDA, and True Damage but had yet to of reacted to the old stuff... NATO you got a lot on your to do list.

Check out Varus: As We Fall. And your right the video is the one that has complexity with all the references made in it.

The Vocalist is Alex Seaver, the guy behind Mako. He's my favorite artist, but Mako used to be a duo act. It's also worth noting that he's been in more and more songs for League as time goes on. His first song was a warsongs remix called "Piercing Light", he also worked on "Awaken" and sang "As we fall" just to name a few.

"Three names that I've... Never heard of" God damn! well hopefully you'll listen to more of them, cause those kind of drums and that style of music is totaly at least The Glitch Mobs' style!

I really appreciate that you go the extra step and actually make the sounds you talk about. I wouldn't know what the hell you are talking about otherwise most of the time. Thanks for this nice content, keep it up!

Hi Joey, almost all League of Legends musics have their instrumental version available on their SoundCloud page, you should check it out to have a clear instrumental only version

I get shivers when I listen to the song - has so many memories attached to it.

I’ve only recently started watching you and I must say your the most chill and in depth about it,I keep coming back to your reaction I learn a lot from you breaking it all down

Can you do a reaction to "Curse of the Sad Mummy"? It's another League of Legends song, but it's fairly different when compared to the newer ones and it's got so much passion.

Most Under-rated Music Producer pls give this Man who claps his hands some spotlight!

"Those are birds. Birds rise." -Joey 2019

I love how you hear everything in this, and most of the reacters out there has an idea but yours help me understand quite more and more. Love your stuff, good work man.

i like listening to songs and then recognising these minute things in the music, listening to each instrument but this dude dissecting the song amazes me

"I like it when I go in reverse" Im like: Take a hear of Pentakill, then you will realize that you missed out on PURE GOLD

Great video, but isn't "RISE" out for a year already?

Thanks for captions at the start. Made all the difference 🙌

I have listened to this song so many times over the years since it came out and having interesting things pointed out that I never heard before like the harmony at the end is really cool

You should really watch the live version they did for the World Championship! Ignoring that Mako (main verse singer) Admitted he was drunk off his head when he performed, Telle Smith (The guy singing the higher octave bits e.g. RISE) Sings it pitch perfect and you can really see the effort he's given out when belting out the chorus'

sometimes i want Joey to purely REACT to the video once, maybe fanboying it a little bit idk, then watch it second time to ANALYZE

Always love your perspective on these Joey!

Just gotta say man, every time u analyze and react to a song I learn so much more about it than I ever thought I would and I notice so much more going on. You've made so many songs just that much better for me and for that, ur absolutely my favorite reaction channel. Keep doing u brother, love the content

Plot twist: He's not actually watching the vid. He's only listening to the mp3

Almost nobody has reacted to Zedd - Ignite, also made for a league of legends championship, and I think its one of the best songs they have made

I came to your channel through a couple of your reaction videos and transitioned to listening to some of your original content. I love your style and it's funny, coming back to you reacting shows me why I love your style. You have a very analytical mind but you aren't afraid to let your joy for the music itself shine through and I love that. Your excitement is infectious but you are precise with your analysis and understanding. Keep up the awesome work on both sides!!!

*bird noises* *pauses video* "Those are BIRDS" XDDDD

Pls do a breakdown of league of legends song named Legends Never Die and Warrior, Im quite sure these two songs won't failed you😉😉😉

Every champion in league has there own theme music, its a masterpiece, i would love to see you react to them, i think you would love them!

I've watched this music video so many times back when it first came out and still listen to it on spotify. Yet every time I watch this music video I still get goosebumps. 11/10 knocked out of the park

This song gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. That chorus is so powerful!

Nato that guy you like with the crackling voice on the "Rise!" part, his name is Telle. You should collab with him or talk to him about that!!!

It's nice that he reacts to the vocals also❤❤❤

Always such a pleasure joey. .was so excited to see you on blindsights video. .we do love you your reactions an music. .God bless x

I learn more about pop music through your videos than my own tiny researches- on my favorite songs from my favorite game -classical pianist

Please do a react for "The curse of the Sad Mummy" its another league song and it's so pretty to listen too

"I'm an artist, music producer....The Glitch Mob, name I never heard of" just lol

The music they produce always gives me shivers, especially since they accompany great animation as well. They mean a lot when you play the game.

I've listened to and loved music for as long as I can remember... but I don't think I REALLY listened to a song until this video. You made me actually notice all of the intricacies of the song that I haven't noticed before. I love this!

2:20 when we said EQ did anyone else think of a league combo?

PETITION to get Joey to produce the next big League of Legends Worlds song, mans got vocals and knows what he's talking aboutt. Hit up Riot Joey

this song still gives me the chills every time I listen to it, just like the first time, definitely the best league song so far

Just wanna throw in a comment of appreciation! Your excitement for the music you listen to is palpable and super intoxicating- These vids are a great experience, thanks!

"Those, ard BIRDS." - Nato 2019

Should watch the remix they did ft. Bobby from iKon

subbed because your passion for music is inspiring

I was keep finding ur react on this video, finally u made it

9:55 you did the same motion with the guy in the video lmao

On the Faker scene, am I the only one who kept hearing Ryze instead of Rise? 😆🤣

I'VE BEEN SO LONG WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!!! THAAAAANK YOU, ur awesome, man

The video production is very high quality and not lazy at any point. The video in gereral gives me a good first impression of your music before i even really listen. You are doing great here Nato.

ryze is also a champion in league which can be seen in the end of the video

Please react to "Light & Shadow (ft. Hiroyuki Sawano)" - the Star Guardian animated trailer! Would love to get a breakdown :)

Not gunna lie I appreciate the reactions you do. You have a good balance of entertaining reactions to what your listening to with a genuine enthusiasm for breaking down what's happening musically. It stands out.

Watching these analytical videos of these League songs makes me appreciate them so much more

Need to react to Falling in Reverse - Popular Monster, is a ridiculous song.

waiter:so,what is your order ? me: *FRIES* *FRIES*

He finally uploaded a reaction video about RISE, thanks for the in depth analysis on the song! It helps me make my AMV's while I look for songs.

this song was hype as, especially the video seeing the characters and the people portrayed in it was epic, also told the story of the team that won worlds the year before and the biggest barriers they had to overcome

Finally reacted to the best League Of Legends Song

how this video should be called instead: „Joey says how good rise is“

i really like your comments about music. very precise and understanable!

Not only the music, but there's a great comment on that video that explains the video too. The video has a meaning as well as the song does

"The Glitch Mob, Mako, The Word Alive - three names that i've never hear of" - Weeknd left the chat

Never heard of Glitch Mob? wtf?

When you called it a ride effect, the character that just appeared on screen is a combination of the pro player Faker and the in game character Ryze. Cool triple meaning.

I swear I have listened to this many times but still even if just watching someone like Nato gives me chills a lot hearing that. RISE!!!!🔥

2019: RICE! RICE! RICE! RICE!

Man i cracked up when he talked about the vocalist trying his best even though he had so many effects on his voice. Dude, please watch the live performance, you will crack up.

I really like how they made a lot of easter eggs in animation, like those 3 stars on Faker are his 3 won championships, on the start of the song those banners are all teams which participated in championship+20 other

Ey that outro music sounds super good my guy, epic job :D

Do Warriors-Imagine Dragons, League of Legends National Anthem :D

No one: Absolutely no one: Joey: "Really" "Interesting" "Situation" "Eh"😂😂😂😂

this is on my forever playlist... love it

I clicked on the headphone link out of curiosity -- surprised to find they are the same brand as the ones my parents got me for Christmas 5 years ago. Best headphones ever.

Hey, Have you done phoenix? (worlds 2019 anthem)

If you like metal, please react to some Pentakill song 😂

Wow I didn't even notice those little drum rolls etc. before you mentioned them. Made me appreciate the song in a new way :D

Man, I LOVE these analyses. You do a great job finding exactly why these songs of theirs are so damn good. Like, I know they are, but you figure out WHY and HOW, and it all makes sense. Seems like the Riot teams' big strength is forming a simple, solid, yet unique skeleton of the song first... using straightforward and limited main things like melody, vocals, beat, etc... except doing so in very unique ways (uncommon drum patterns, unusual key changes, retro synths not often used anymore, etc). All while varying and switching things up just enough to keep the interest in the song growing steadily from start to finale. Then finally, they go back and add decoration. The effects are often subtle, not added just for depth alone, but to bring perfect balance to the 'skeleton' they first built. To add power, to add perks of interest that keep the listener hooked at strategic moments, to shake things up then stabilize them again in a way that makes each piece they do utterly thrilling! I never expected a video game franchise to spawn some of the most perfect music I've ever heard, but well, here we are. And not even just a corny attempt at getting attention, but truly putting their all into every piece and making cinematic ART completely intertwined with the pinnacle of musical creation. And I'm so glad you're here to bring all this to our attention, one song at a time, to better realize just what musical geniuses we're lucky to coexist with. :) Only problem is that now I'm spoiled, cuz it's hard to find more songs that hit so many buttons on the Perfection board, lol. ;D By the way, if you haven't already, check out Glitch Mob's "Seven Nation Army" remix for a taste of the dynamics and ability to transform the familiar into the thrilling. That's where I first heard of them before this song. They breathed new life into a classic. :D Anywaaaaay sorry just had to fan-spazz about Riot's selection of talent and execution of a whole new era of entertainment. X33333

Btw NATO just to help you with your video breakdown each one of those people symbolize a real esports person like the main character is ambition from Samsung team, he fights G2’s Perkz when Perkz plays yasuo and ambition ended up winning the series climbing higher towards finals, the lava dude is Uzi and he is representing his famous Vayne champion and during the matchup Ambition crushed them in their games, then in the final fight we all know that’s faker and his ryze and Samsung ended up winning worlds ambition being the hard carry throughout the journey. Some other things to notice would be all the fallen teams that lost worlds in the beginning(all the flags) and while he is climbing or in the background of some shots you can see previous tournament things like championship Thresh from years. When he enters the lava thing on the outside you see it’s Olaf’s cave so it symbolizes RGN and their famous jg that played Olaf, and uzi is was from RGN too at that time so it makes sense. When ambition gets his glasses hit by uzi one time that symbolizes the one game that he lost in his best of 5 but he still ended up winning as sejuani which was the champion it showed at the end of the volcano shot. Again on his journey you can see statues of some teams and the championship zed statue, showing previous things. You also see the big group of statues at one point too. Once he reaches the finals he sees all the people/teams that have been there too, all their logos on their statues and at the top(symbolizes reaching finals) he finds the most famous league player just chillin at the top 😎 it’s motha f’in faker. Faker is his famous ryze and ambition is jarvan in this fight and jarvan ults at the end symbolizing the play that ended he game which was when he killed faker and they game ended soon after that. At the very end you can see all the other players and their signature champions getting ready to climb to the top too. Hope you doing well and peace ITS NATO!

"The glitch mob" and "mako" never heard of: u CAN T be serious

This might be my favorite breakdown from joey yet

I usually don't like reaction videos but yours is kicking. Keep it up!

Joey, listened to rise ft bobby..its better for my opinion

"this vocalist is great" 3 doritos later . . . . . . . *Absolutely suck live at worlds*

i think those low sounding synthesizer at the beginning used to fill up the low frequency and to add spice at the moment

What is also important in the video, is that each character is a champion from League of Legends. Their faces however are of some of the most iconic pro players and the champions are their most iconic champions that they play/ed with.
