I just finished binge watching the series for the first time.... I did not expect a show that started as Halo Machinima to make me cry or laugh anywhere near as much as RvB did, and this song will forever remind me of those times
+Silenced Games That's a pretty difficult wish when every model and texture in the show is from Halo, but I understand what you mean. RvB is an amazing story on it's own right, going so far beyond fan animation and fan fiction the story could easily have survived on it's own even if they'd had to create their own lore and world to do it
I regard RvB as a parallel story to that of the Master Chief’s story. You can’t totally disconnect from the Master Chief because he is mentioned several times throughout the RvB storyline; however, RvB is not totally dependent on the Master Chief either.
to Valdris86: Couldn't agree more. to ArcticRaven: I only ever played Halo once, for about an hour. I forget which one. Not really my game. Never got into it. Saw Season 1 while bored one night, on Netflix. Been hooked ever since the first "Son of a bit**!
The only reason we have a base here, is because they set up a base over there. And the only reason they have a base over there, is because we have a base over here. If we were to pull out tomorrow, and they came and took our base, then they'd have two bases in a box canyon. Whoop de fucking doo. - Lavernius Tucker. .. and I did that from memory. It might not be entirely correct, but it's funny how stuff sticks with you.
There's so many stories where some brave hero decides to give their life to save the day, and because of their sacrifice the good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everybody lives happily ever after. But the hero... never gets to see that ending. ...They’ll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference. They’ll never know if the day was really saved. In the end, they just have to have faith. ...Ain’t that a bitch?
The more I think about it the more I am certain this is a song that's a throw back for story of Church and Tex. One of us will be forgotten (Tex), the other will be wrong (Church). The rest of the song could easily be moments of Church over the show. 24110 is closer to the colour of Tex's armour.
I thought it was about Church and Tucker at the end? Church is "forgotten" because he erases himself and Tucker was wrong when he said "See you on the other side."
Seems like a pretty good description for war. The loser will be forgotten, and the victor will tell their own side of the story, which will be heavily biased, and probably wrong.
Has anyone else noticed that the piano solos (particularly the opening) are very reminiscent of Unforgotten/Never Forget from Halo 2 and 3? Very sweet reference/callback to the games that inspired all this. :)
Two best of buds who prowl the night as super studs, Four team of girls who defends humanity from jeopardy, One King who rules the podcast with an iron fist, Ten soldiers who became zeroes into heroes.
You know.... I really wanna say. As much as I love the original.... She really elevated this song to a whole new level. Its the same lyrics... But really. the feeling of the words and their impact coupled with the elegance of the music backing her... You can really feel the emotion behind the words... By far one of my favorite songs ever.
Ah, but. A key difference relevant to rvb: one of us will be remembered, the other one is wrong to one of us will be forgotten, the other will be wrong
He lived as an asshole for so many years, but he died as a hero. Even if he won't remember anything, we will always remember Church for what he did. We will never forget him, and neither will his friends.
This has seriously become my favorite song since the season finale. I know this is somewhat of a remix to the original Contact, but it perfectly sums up Church at the end. Been playing it literally almost non stop and every chance I get. Absolutely love it!
Even better, it's actually about Locus. That's the difference in the Lyrics - it was originally "one of us won't be forgotten," (Felix) "the other one is wrong" (Locus) and now it's "one of us will be forgotten," (Locus) "the other will be wrong" (Felix) :-)
@@JalnorTheGreat That was one of the 2 Surviving Alphas the current surviving Alpha is on Chorus remember caboose in the cave when he's talking and the voice replies "thanks you too" that was alpha. After that copy became the team killing fucktard.
Hey guys If you're hearing this it means you did it. You won. You kicked the shit out of Hargrove's forces. I knew you could. But this is my last stop. See when I came into this world I was really just a collection of somebody else's memories. But with your help, these memories they... they took form. They became my voice, my personality. And after a while I began to make brand new memories of my own. All of these things are what make me who I am. But they're also holding me back. I can't run this suit as Epsilon. But if I erase my memories, if I deconstruct myself, the fragments I leave behind will have the strength to get you through this, I believe that. I wish there was another way, but I'm leaving this message as well as others in the hopes that you'll understand why I have to go this time. Ha ha.. it was actually Doyle who made me realize something I never thought of before. There are so many stories where some brave hero decides to give their life to save the day, and because of their sacrifice the good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everybody lives happily ever after. But the hero never gets to see that ending. They'll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference. They'll never know if the day was really saved. In the end they just have to have faith. Ain't that a bitch? -Epsilon
all these years later, reading this and listening to the song still has me bawling. Would have been the perfect ending for the show, with following stuff as spin-offs
In RvB S13 I cried and cried some more ever since Church said his last and final goodbye, Well when I'm thinking about right now I'm pretty sure Leonard L. Church is up there with Allison/Tex, Carolina is the last person in the Church's Bloodline I'll always remember and never forget about Church RIP - Epsilon/Leonard L. Church
jonhalo9117 lopez I cry to dude, it was powerful seeing all our beloved characters pined down waiting to fight what they might think as there last battle but then with church's speech it made you think of everything they've all been through and added to the music ,...... Well words can't describe 😪
Turned out they were right, chronologically. Caboose got his last goodbye... to a very confused Past Church. And now that story is done, His Voice is off to Sweden, and it looks as though they’ll be moving on.
This song made so many memories comeback from so many years watching rvb and just rooster teeth in general. Brought a tear to my eye, but as they say, "Never say goodbye. If you don’t say goodbye, you aren’t really gone. You just aren’t here right now.”
Funnily enough, the character I miss the most isn't Church, or Doyle. It's not York, or North. It's Theta. Theta is innocent. He's childish, but also smart, if albeit a bit shy. York and North were kinda good guys, but not entirely. Theta was good, as well as very cute. I also miss quite a few of the other fragments, as they...well, alot of them weren't too bad. Also, I love Delta because he's delta, so yeah
Yeah, Theta was my favorite of the fragments. For such a vulgar and violent show like Red vs Blue, he was a nice contrast that always felt welcome and showed a side of North that made him my favorite freelancer, since he's as good a father figure to Theta as Church and Wash were for Caboose. I'll also miss Delta, mainly because he's responsible for one of the best jokes in the show, right after the joke about Sarge's wishing Grif dead.
Yeah, I suppose that's why everyone likes Caboose as well. Delta's jokes were hilarious, especially his "That was emotion, but I incorrectly registered it as stupidity" Line from out of mind.
Hey, Guys. If you're hearing this, it means u did it. U won. U kicked the shit of Hargove's forces. I knew u could. But this is my last stop. See, when I came into this world, I was really just a collection of somebody else's memories. "But with your help, these memories, they... they took form. They became *my* voice, *my* personality. And , after a while, I... I began to make new memories of my own. All of these things are what make me who I am. But they're also holding me back. I can run this suit as Epsilon. But if I erased my memories, if I deconstruct myself, the fragments are leap behind will have the strength to get you through this. I believe that. I wish there was another way. I'm leaving this message, as well as others, in the hopes that you'll understand why I have to go this time. Eheh, it was- it was actually *Doyle*, who made me realize something I'd never thought of before. There are so many stories where some brave hero decide to give their life to save the day, and because their sacrifice, the good guys son, the survivors all cheer, and everybody loves happily ever after." But the hero never gets to see that ending. They'll never know if they're sacrifice actually made a difference. They never know if the day was really saved. In the end, they just have to have faith. "Ain't that a bitch."
This song deserves all of the praise it gets. It's amazing. I recently listened to the entire RvB season 13 ost and I can comfortably say that the entire soundtrack is just as good, and even better at times. If you haven't yet, it's worth listening to. Honestly, one of the best scores ever. Of all time. (In my opinion)
I just wanna cry and cry and cry. I love this show and I cry every time and get depressed for a week every time I repay him the series. When my family notices I’m acting sad all the time they ask me if I just watched season 13 again and I say yes and they are like that’s what I thought. Now it’s time for me to cry myself to sleep listening to this song and thinking about how there probably won’t be another good season after 17 cause zero sucks...😭
There's so many stories where some brave hero decides to give their life to save the day, and because of their sacrifice, the good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everybody lives happily ever after. But the hero, never gets to see that ending. They'll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference. They'll never know if the day was really saved. In the end, they just have to have faith. Ain't that a bitch.
I just love this song so much. It's so beautiful written and her voice just perfectly matches the mood. I've been listening to this song on repeat for about 30mins now
I had this song recommended to me yesterday. Cue my surprise that it was written for that old comedy machinma series from back in my high school days. I guess I'll have to give RvB a second shot!
Yeah you should definitely give RVB another shot I think you might be fairly surprised and shocked and hey when you finish it let me know what you think
Awe sweet, you have a RU-vid now! I love the original version, but this was a great redux. Already bought the soundtrack. Can't wait until next season!
Even though most come from Red vs Blue I just want to say this band is very good and has a lot of talent so keep going with it. As for the red vs blue yes it was a sad ending but it needed to happen and if you watch this video you might realize this is talking about a cold war.
This is the last time we will see Church because Alpha and the other AI fragments died in the Freelancer EMP and Epsilon fractured himself to keep Meta Tucker alive and he basically disintegrated himself
I personally think this song is more about Washington than locus because the original version of this song (just called "contact") was released on the season 11 soundtrack. To me, the lyrics really speak to washs emotional distress as he was trying to get himself and his friends rescued after their ship crashed so I always link the song back to him (I also link it back to church because "contact final transmission" played during his final scene)
@@Tom-oz7wk the line “we are green and grey” clearly shows that the song is talking about Locus. There’s also references to both Locus and Felix. “Longness of semper” is talking about Locus’ need to follow orders. “Your name’s in the sky, 90 feet high” is referring to Locus’ admiration of Felix. The numbers 2, 4, 1, 10 has a number of possible meanings including a hex colour. Colour 024110 is a dark green similar to Locus’ colour scheme. There’s a lot more in this song about Locus that any other character and the versions change ever so slightly to reflect how Locus views himself and Felix
@@caelanathey124 I thought the hex colour thing had been disproven (I'm probably remembering that wrong). I think 2 4 1 10 is a distress signal or something similar which is why it links to Wash so well because he kept radioing for help in season 11. I should probably say that I don't mean to argue. These are just my opinions and there's every chance I'm factually wrong but I feel like the lyrics really tie in to wash's story nicely. I also can't say you're wrong because fact or opinion, you make some really good points
@@Tom-oz7wk as far as i know there’s been no solid evidence to prove that it is UNSC code. That said one of the main theories being that it is code for position compromised and personally i do think this is correct but i also think they could’ve intentionally used those numbers. The numbers appear in the song Armonia and given what happened there it’s the most likely explanation for them. As for it being Wash i don’t think that’s true. In season 11 Washington had nobody to contact about the attack by the Feds so it doesn’t make sense. The meaning behind the numbers is Locus radioing for help during the battle that he and Felix fought in, one of the worst battles in UNSC history. Eruption Fang has a really good video on it that breaks down the meaning of the song
@@caelanathey124 so I Googled it and 2 4 1 10 are ASCII characters (whatever that means). They're control characters for transmit and repeat. I dunno what you mean about wash and the feds, I'm referring to the episodes in the season where wash is trying to fix and use the radio to let someone know their ship had crashed. Id say the transmit and repeat applies to this part of the story and his attempt at sending out a distress call. I hadn't thought about the use of the numbers in Armonia and I think your explanation fits better than mine for that one. (Also do you know what the words in Armonia are spelling out because I'd be interested to know what the message of that song is)
This song is etched into my brain. It's so beautiful at the credits of season 13. I legit cried as a kid watching it. RvB should have stopped after that.
