Pipeorgankind 

you would not believe your eyes if john freed the fireflies

John: Play the wind. Imagine that throughout his childhood life, John had been playing Showtime the most and practicing it the longest and that it was his Dad who taught him how to play.

when i was reading homestuck, and it got to this part, i was thinking "what if it's the haunting piano refrain" AND IT WAS

If you're ever feeling adventurous one night, stand outside, lower the volume, and imagine the sound is carrying faintly over the breeze, all across the planet.

This song. John is pretty much replaying his childhood as a song, using it to open up his future. John had revisit his childhood, and accept it was one of freedom to move on with his life.

This song is a beautiful mix of Showtime and Harlequin, two of John’s main theme songs. It’s enough to make you emotional just by recognizing the leitmotifs

A planet bursts into existence, A pillar of houses on the top, no longer a domestic building, it is a cathedral to the god of wind. The nobles enter, awestruck. A lone figure clad in a translucent blue robe stands at the back, facing an impossible network of pipes. He plays without even touching the keys. The figure starts laughing maniacally. This Ghosty Trickster turns around, revealing himself as the greatest villain; obfuscating stupidity hiding true nature. The ultimate prank is complete.

This was such an awesome flash. The music was awesome, sure, but even better was the fact that it marked the first time the Kids accomplished something major instead of just staying in one piece. They finally stand a chance against Jack, Condesce and English, they finally have begun to make their move.

Putting my bets that this is the song John's gonna use to free the fireflies.

Almost everyone dies and the whole place is destroyed My tears: I sleep John plays an organ My tears: WOKE!!!!!

it happened we predicted it and it happened

Imagine picking a fight with someone and they pull out a grand organ.

This made me cry big ass tears when it first happened man. Homestuck was a story for the ages.

I wonder what it would have sounded like for Rose to play the rain... Or for Dave to play the... heat? Heat as in sick fires?

Seeing John finally complete his quest after so long was incredibly satisfying.

This is what John plays in the pipeorgan to clean LOWAS, he plays _Showtime_ , the song his father taught him... that made me really sad 3':

"Let's go off and try to save our friends, To love and protect; to hold and defend, If we all fail to transcend, We'll go try again. Let's go back and attempt to amend, Our lives that are doomed and try to pretend, That if we fail and die in the end, We can try again."

I'm just gonna imagine that this is what John plays on his planet to remove the clouds.

If John went Grimdark, this would totally 8e his theme........

I'm a lover of all kinds of stringed instruments, but by far, the organ is my favorite.. Its innate ability to create harmony all in itself, with such powerful yet at the same time, harmonious note is simply breath taking, If i ever become a billionaire.. i shall create a monumental organ, i shall call her Gaia.

This song is beautiful! If John plays this song it would be one of the greatest flashes ever made by Andrew Hussie!

Before the flash this was a great song, now afterwards it's even better because of the connotations with the real adventure finally coming to an end and starting at the same time. IF ONLY HE'D UPDATE THE COMIC! HUSSIE PLEASE YOU CAN'T LEAVE US HANGING ON SUCH A BIG BUILDING OF EVENTS FOR A YEAR!

I think I should mention that from now on, any song that sounds good enough to be in a flash, or even looks like it has inner depth...will probably be in an update. it will happen again and again. It will keep happening.

This song makes so much more sense considering all things in the current update.

am i not the only one who thinks this is the haunting piano refrain that john played in act 1 or is this the same song just played on the pipe organ

The Heir of Grief.

Still one of my favorite homestuck songs fr

I keep reading it as pigeonkind

Catch me sitting in the dark blasting this at 3 a.m.

Should there ever come a day when a religion is built around the trolls who created our Earth, let this be the hymn that echoes through the hearts and souls of every true believer.

Guys, in the upd8 we ejected without saving.

what makes this more emotional, is that this is the song his dad tought him to play.

Normal vampires: Toccata and Fugue in D minor Me:

I never thought that pipe organs could make me cry (before this)

I would love too hear this in real life. Realy feel the power in this song is all of the notes that the instrument can make but properly be recorded.

Who else wants this played at their funeral? Or wedding?

"F1X TH1S"

LoWaS: Land of Wind and Sound

Never notice the that there's pieces of Harlequin and Showtime mixed in here.

I want this song being played in the background of my entire life

The first time I listened to this after the epilogues, I cried. A lot.

This song hurts to listen to after reading the epilogues. (At least, what's released at the moment.)

Ah the good old days when James Roach was still a Homestuck fan musician instead of an official Homestuck musician

I get shivers every single time I listen to this song, and almost cry, I love this so much

this song boutta go in my d&d group's playlist, shit straight up fuckin vibes

You will not believe your eyes, If John freed the fireflies. Edit: this comment is useless. Someone beat me to it.

Wow I am not very emotional, but this... *This moved me.*

After some thought I kinda think this moment is the real emotional climax of Homestuck

Who else came back to listen to this because of the Crow Strider AU?

i really want to hear someone play this on a pipe organ

If there was a church for homestuck I would go there.

Haunting Refrain is really loving up to it's name

I feel like this could be used for a walkaround flash in Lord English's lair, like if he had some sort of giant castle and John and everyone else were exploring it to find and confront the demon himself! It's just so epic!

Two interesting observations: this is written in D minor, while the original piano theme is in C minor, so if you play them back to back it sorta gives a sense of rising above what came before it (by quite literally rising exactly one full step up on the keyboard). D minor is also the same key as the famous Bach organ toccata that everyone thinks of regarding big dramatic organ music.

Definitely my favorite flash

3:40 is that the carnival, HOLY SHIT

Damn that's crazy

I saved this song to watch it later and forgot i had it there. Now i've found it and my mind is blown... I knew it!

This is what plays in your head when you look at the northern lights

it's harlequin I'm afraid..

This song reminds me of my grandfather. He was an amazing organist. R.I.P.

This song makes me cry everytime I hear it aAA Its just beautiful...

i would imagine this is the song he uses to awaken the denizen in his world

Probably my favorite moment in all of Homestuck

Playing this next to showtime is amazing. It’s somewhat similar, and it kind of is symbolic of Johns growth. I recommend you try it.

I am currently at the end of act four. I know this song is in act six yet I absolutely love it. John is my favorite human character for many reasons. And this song is just put together so well. For the amount of musical pieces they have in the comic it's always something new. Job well done to a great comic so far and awesome music.

gOD IVE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS ON LOOP AND IT GOES SO HARD

I played this for 4/13. I'm feel this epic.

This song makes me feel so nostalgic...

If you set the video to 2.0 speed, you get pretty close to how the original songs went...

John was practicing piano for that very moment.

I can imagine this being like the final song in a flash for homestuck the one that ends it all

of course it was James Roach. even back then that guy was a genius.

THIS WAS THE UPD8 MUSIC AAAAAAAAAAAA

There are bits of Harlequin in this and it is beautiful.

Ah, our brilliant days shine like eternal stars, They glow past as consolation for future sorrow. Don't cry because it's over! Smile because they have been! And if the days get cloudier, our stars redeem! Ludwig Jacobowski

I always get shivers listening to this.

This is the sound you actually should hear in a cathedral. The windows...look at the album art for Jade Mother.

This is my favorite of the album, thanks for putting it up here!

This song gives me chills

This track is so haunting and just so amazing... I just... Can't put my love for this fandom into words!

So that's how you weaponize a pipeorgan. I never would have guessed.

Blaring this song to the point my shelves rattle and the floor shakes feels so right right about now

i can't believe this is the only track james roach contributed to the official soundtrack

This is beautiful.

Do the windy thing!

It's good

Now THIS is "The Windy Thing"

I've listened to this all day. I love music motifs from stuff I love (like homestuck) put into more classical formats. So I can enjoy stuff like homestuck and when someone hears the music too they think Im being all classical-fancy.

Literal chills every time I hear this song.

oh damn james roach made this. calling himself.. "soselfimportant" wow james

It's beautiful.

When I first heard this I was like "OH MOTHER OF GOD!! THIS...OMG!" I love it!! -thumbs up-

I really like this track

i love how you can ever so slightly hear flare and explore in the background, explore is a little more prominent

Those are all remixes of Nannasprites theme. Yes, Gamzee and Nannasprite share a theme. Weird right?

Every time I hear those 4 little notes climb up in a matter of a second (at 2:29, during Harlequin) freaking Overture from Phantom of the Opera starts playing in my head xD

eargasm.

I can also see this as the theme of LOWAA
