Undertale Yellow Musical Bytes - A Mother's Love 

When helping make this boss, I really tried to push Ceroba and her expressions to be as pained but also scary as possible. Both in a sad/physically pained way but your also fighting someone whose fighting themselves, scary way. Shattering both her shield and mask is symbolic of breaking the barriers of not only between her and her friends but to remove her own "mask"...Underneath that facade is a A broken person, a regretful person, someone who made the worst choices and now has to live with them. We all make stupid decisions when we're at our lowest, especially when given Impossible odds... some mistakes are just more costly than others... Despite this, shes still determined to hang on to the little chance that she has left, even if she is misguided. When were frustrated and losing, we scream out, both in an emotional sense, AND anime fight sense in this case lol. She is stubborn in the worst ways, even with the best intentions. That's what Ceroba is to me, I don't know how other devs and the main writers would say but that was my mindset. It can be hard to convey that with the the limits of sprites and small animations. I'm extremely happy something like this has happened and can show more of that emotion. The pain, the screaming, the lyrics. All nailed. MOTI, YOU ROCK

“When you trust in justice, you’ll find that reality is often disappointing.” Dagger to the heart, that line.

Everyone's talking about how powerful the scream is, but can we take a moment to appreciate how distressed and heartbreaking that crying near the end was?

That scream. It gave me genuine goosebumps. The anger in maiden's voice as the hopes and dreams part of the song. The crying at the end after the mask cumbles. Maiden really showed her talent in this song.

"I just want to say, I don't think you're appreciating the fact that I'm singing and crying at the same time, here."

What is it with undertale bosses and immediately laying out all their trauma to literally whatever five-year old they happen to run into?

How it started: "Halt, stranger, your noisy tactics have ruined my bedtime routine" How it's going: "One more child to be slaughtered"

2:50 ISTG MAIDEN NAILED IT WITH THAT SCREAM!! SHE KILLED IT!!

The line “I swore that she’d be fine. I swore and get I lied” hit me like a freight train, the emotion in this song is amazing, great job to everyone involved

"Monsterkind's Hero is a title soaked in blood."

"Let no one doubt *a mother's love* for her husband and daughter!" The song ending with these lyrics broke my heart damn!

2:48 The Scream was AWESOME!

MAIDEN ABSOLUTELY KILLED THIS VOICE ACTING AND MY EMOTIONS. OH MY GOD.

Everyone criticizes Ceroba's character design by saying she's a bad character because what happened is her fault -- when that's the whole point of her story. She made a decision that was a huge mistake, one she could have easily to avoided in hindsight. She knows it's her fault and that's why it hurts her so much more. And now all she wants is JUSTICE, for Chujin and for Kanako.

If this is not the song that plays at the end of the musical bytes then I think we all know what it’s really gonna be “Dodge the bullets, clover”

Mother attacks Tourist cowboy child

The absolute desperation and heartbreak in Ceroba's voice really hits hard if you know all she's been through. This woman had her kid attacked by a human, lost her husband to experiments with said human's SOUL, and then caused her daughter to fall down and, in turn, become an amalgamate (unknown to her until after Undertale Yellow), and now she's trying to kill another innocent child who she's grown to care about after everything.

Wow, what an amazing rendition on this! You guys knocked it out of the park with this one 💛

Fun fact: Mothers after getting the "grieve" effect get the power of pyrokinesis

2:51 that scream shows just by itself how much effort was put into this

I like how her "tails" are actually just her hair flared up which is awesome and a neat design choice.

4:30 ... * ceroba is crying ... * comfort her? 💛[Comfort]

CEROBA! GIVE US THE DUCK! Ok the sheer emotion Maiden gave here is absolutely incredible, her scream at phase 2 caused me to physically jump.

Did you know that theirs no word to describe a mother who lost their child? Theirs something tragic too it, that a mother should have to mourn the loss of their child. while her actions are inexcusable, her actions are laid in tragedy and regret. And she's such a compelling character too, I love Ceroba so much

Flawless. 100% Flawless. Everything about this. The vocals, the lyrics, the art, everything perfectly adds up to one of my favorite videos you guys have ever made. That SCREAM... if that doesn't show the pure, endless bout of pain Ceroba has been through and the guilt she's been forced to bear for so long, i don't know what else would. Massive props to Maiden and everyone who worked on this.

"Heroes are not always saints. Sometimes, they are forged by the fire of the trials, forged by pain and everything they lived"

THIS IS NOT A MERE BYTE Y'ALL ATE THR ENTIRE DAMN TABLE GODDDD THIS IS GORGEOUS

No. You shouldn’t be allowed to make things this good and beautiful with no introduction. This video shouldn’t be called a “byte” That undervalues the video’s beauty. I hope you enjoyed making these and here’s to a million views!

4:05 "Blood already stained my hands Before i met the child of man" ...I'M.....

"let creation hear my cries, the pain of premature goodbyes" my favorite part

3:18 One thing from the original song you captured absolutely PERFECTLY here (on top of everything else) is the transition from intense anger and aggression to something softer, sadder, but equally inense from this point on. She has the growl in her voice after the Hopes and Dreams drop that just COMPLETELY dissappears at this point. Nicely done there!

0:11 she made it in MAN ON THE INTERNET

Ceroba Ketsukane is my favorite Disney Princess, 'nuff said.

Lyrics: 0:02 - Intro (Spoken): _So… it’s come to this._ _My last resort._ _For Chujin…_ _For Kanako…_ _For the future of Monsterkind!_ 0:17 - A Mother’s Love Nowhere to run, nowhere left to hide The game is done, it’s down to you and I I’ve fought my wars, I’ve lost and made my peace I’m fighting for the day we are released! When you trust in justice You’ll find that reality is often disappointing! Don’t you dare, with that glare Your judgement cannot enjoin me The noise that’s destroying us Finally will end I will make amends If this damns my friends Let them see me as a demon While I dream of freedom, for I’ve No more tears to shed Stood among the dead Stained my faith in red Those who need a superhero Must make peace with darker deeds Say your goodbyes This only ends when someone dies Let my sins all be remembered Mingled with my daughters cries! Nowhere to run, nowhere left to hide The game is done, it’s down to you and I I’ve fought my wars, I’ve lost and made my peace I’m fighting for the day we are released! How could you hope to judge me now With the things I’ve carried Knowing my tale shows you how Deep go holes they’re buried! My love is gone And I live on Held my child in my arms I swore that she’d be fine I swore and yet I lied Well, maybe I was always lying Now there’s nothing left to hide! No more tears to shed Stood among the dead Stained my faith in red Those who need a superhero Must make peace with darker deeds *_HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!_* No more hope No more lies Are you finally satisfied? I never claimed that I was a saint As I drown in this sea of mistakes One ray of light Got me through the darkest nights It’s the promise of a new tomorrow Where I can do one thing right Tried to move on For the ones who have gone But I cannot live, cannot forgive The things that I have done! Carried by the whims of fate No paths left but the one I make I have but one more life to take One more child to be slaughtered Let creation hear my cries The pain of premature goodbyes This only ends when someone dies! ‘Til then, the fires of hell grow hotter! Blood already stained my hands Before I met the child of man So I must finish what began! I’m so tired of treading water! Push has long past come to shove And we shall see the sky above Let no one doubt a mother’s love For her husband and her daughter! _Sobbing_

MOTI. STOP MAKING ME FREAKING DEPRESED "let them see me as a demon" and "i swore she would be fine. I swore and yet i lied" edit:I don't do this much but thanks for me likes :3

THE SCREAM MADE ME HAVE GOOSEBUMPS GOODNESS

2:50 the raw emotion in this scream just gave me goosebups bro.. maiden was the BEST choice you could have made for vocals!

0:31 ceroba becomes thanos real

The 2th "Those who need a super hero must make peace with Darker Deeds" Part was simply amazing

Damn the voice acting here absolutely hit it out of the park. I don't know anything about this game but I was completely sold on that performance holy crap

3:06 still LOVE how if you go fast enough, that attack lines up with the music

That scream tho. You can hear all of her pain😢😭😔 Edit: “No more hopes. No more lies” I love her parallels with Asgore in story and lyrics.

welp i have a new favorite MOTI song

The pure emotion in Ceroba's scream... gets me every time

This will likely be a common thing you will hear in the comments, but I will take the opportunity to thank the team for making this. From the art, to the lyrics, to the voice acting. All of these factors add up to making a truly brilliant song. Again, I thank the team who made this, along with the team that made Undertale Yellow; without the inital game and soundtrack, this video would not exist. Thanks also goes to Toby Fox, who not only made the original game and soundtrack (which motifs are taken from), but also helped the Undertale Yellow team deal with the issues with Materia Collective and their CEO. A part of me hopes that the songs taken down from the original musical you made will be able to be restored. That may be a limited hope, but the thought is there. May you have a nice day, and best of luck with the other songs in the Bytes (the Genocide and Neutral final bosses, at least. El Balidor may be presumed...) [edit on 13/07: Saw that the Musical Bytes for the last two months is being made. While we may not get the 'other songs' I listed above, we did have a good selection given to us. We cannot complain about that. This is also assuming that there are not hidden songs in the premier, nor that will appear in a potential second bytes video.]

THE PAIN AND GRIEF IN HER VOICE, THE EMOTION THAT WAS PUT INTO THIS, THE SCREAM SENT CHILLS DOWN MY ENTIRE BODY MAIDEN COULD NOT HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB

11/10 acting, 12/10 vocals, and 20/10 perfection. Well done!

I love when after she screams we can hear for just a second her hoarse, really monstrous voice but after a secod she came back to her normal voice. I like to interpret that she is really angry, but she needs to focus on the fight and can't let her emotions take over. Maybe im over-analyzing it, but it just send shivers down my spine and I love it.

Ceroba's scream when I first heard it in game gave me chills and the scream here in the song was able to give me that same feeling again. A Mother's Love is already a fantastic song filled with so much emotion and this lyrical version did a fantastic job at adding to that emotion. Amazing work as always!

The voice is so chilling, you can hear the sadness and heartbreak in her voice. This is a woman who lost everything and is willing to do anything to fix it.

i love everything about this, maiden absolutely popped off with this performance, the scream at 2:50 was amazing too

I know I’m late but I have to say that Maiden’s performance is just phenomenal. She captured Ceroba’s emotions perfectly. When she says “You’ll find that reality is often disappointing!” I can feel the anguish from her voice; a mission that she knows will only break her more than she already is. Outstanding work on this song everyone!

I was vibing along loving the references and the immediate dive into the theme of desperate pessimism vs. justice and then suddenly 0:40 hit and watched in awe as Maiden locked in. And just when I thought my awe was over, that gutteral scream at 2:48 sent me reeling once again, with the song following tearing at Ceroba's vocal chords, leaving with a heart breaking last cry at 4:25... Awesome work Maiden!

For anyone who wants to sing along to this, here are the full lyrics: [Intro] So... it's come to this. My last resort. For Chujin. For Kanako. For the future of Monsterkind! [Phase 2] Nowhere to run, nowhere left to hide The game is done, it's down to you and I I've fought my wars, I've lost and made my peace I'm fighting for the day we are released! When you trust in justice You'll find that reality is often disappointing! Don't you dare, with that glare You're judgement cannot enjoin me The noise that's destroying us Finally will end I will make amends If this damns my friends Let them see me as a demon While I dream of freedom, for I've No more tears to shed Stood among the dead Stained my faith in red Those who need a superhero Must make peace with darker deeds Say your goodbyes This only ends when someone dies Let my sins all be remembered Mingled with my daughter's cries! Nowhere to run, nowhere left to hide The game is done, it's down to you and I I've fought my wars, I've lost and made my peace I'm fighting for the day we are released! [Phase 3] How could you hope to judge me now With the things I've carried Knowing my tale shows you how Deep go the holes they're buried! _My love is gone!_ _And I live on!_ Held my child in my arms I swore that she'd be fine _I swore and yet I lied_ Well, maybe I was always lying Now there's nothing left to hide! No more tears to shed Stood among the dead Stained my faith in red Those who need a superhero _Must make peace with darker deeds!_ [Phase 4] _Ah... _*_aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!_* _No more hope_ _No more lies_ Are you finally satisfied? I never claimed that I was a saint As I drown in this sea of mistakes One ray of light Got me through the darkest nights It's the promise of a new tomorrow Where I can do one thing right Tried to move on For the ones who have gone But I cannot live, CANNOT FORGIVE The things that I have done! Carried by the whims of fate No paths left but the one I make I have but one more life to take One more child, _TO BE SLAUGHERED_ Let creation hear my cries The pain of premature goodbyes This only ends when someone dies 'Til then, the *fires of hell grow hotter!* *Blood already stained my hands* *Before I met the child of man* *So I must finish what began!* _I'm so tired of treading water!_ *PUSH HAS LONG PAST COME TO SHOVE* *AND WE SHALL SEE THE SKY ABOVE* *LET NO ONE DOUBT **_A MOTHER'S LOVE_* _For her husband and her daughter!_ _(Cries)_

Wow… truly amazing work.

Maiden was just perfect as Ceroba, she made this song just great!

Breaking News: a local kitsune rage and become a touhou boss

Whoever sang this, they deserve a million dollars. Now.

Only 3 songs left… “IN THIS WORLD ITS KILL OR BE KILLED” “The zenith of monsterkind” “DANZA”

Undertale fans: Poor Asriel Undertale fans after playing undertale yellow: Wow poor Ceroba Undertale fans and undertale yellow fans: Asriel and Ceroba deserve some love and not this LOVE actual love Edit: This is the most likes I’ve ever gotten, thanks a lot.

the line i've stained my faith in red is such a clever hint towards ceroba rocking the Japanese shrine maiden drip

So I've been listening to other lyricized video game songs, both on MOTI and other channels (e.g. Juno), and if you told me that the same singer put a Wild West drawl on Esther Winchester and an anguished scream into Ceroba, I wouldn't believe you if I hadn't seen Maiden in the credits of both. Unbelievably well done.

is it just me or are these lyrics awesome genuinely they be fire

1:02 i think is maybe the best line ive heard story telling wise

3:12 Funny how it synchronized with the water geysers as soon she said "sea".

2:48 YES!! That was just fantastic!

1:34 I have recorded every Ben 10 episode

And the song is simply GORGEOUS, especially when Ceroba screams, it gives me goosebumps, even though I don’t understand the lyrics, they really did a good job of keeping it that way I read the translation, I started crying, especially because of the last two lines

This actually rules so hard. Everything about this is of exceptional quality.

this is FUCKING art

Okay, gotta admit, that was fucking sick. I felt like I had an obligation to watch this and I'm glad I did. Phenomenal performance. I loved it.

Oh dear. MOTI, you've done this song Justice. The art, the lyrics and Maiden's singing just. Perfect. Awesome job

Epic soundtrack as the base + awesome lyrics + really nice singers = MASTER PIECE

I knew the scream was coming. I knew they'd include it, and I knew it would hit really hard. But it still made me cry when it did.

Timestamps for the various phases Phase 1, Devotion - 0:17 Phase 2, Desperation - 1:41 Phase 3, Determination - 2:48

Literal chills! This is the best lyrical version of this song!!

Quite possibly the BEST song on this channel. The sheer emotions in THAT scream. You know the one.

You do NOT know how loud I screamed "YES!!!" when I saw this!

I could really hear emotion in her voice, I love it, especially with that scream she did

Man on the internet never disappoints!!!!

2:50 (hearing Ceroba's scream ...it fills you with a great power)

Quite possibly the best one yet, I've had this on loop for an hour

This was one of the better ones. Good pacing,singing, and lyrics. Honestly 10/10

God this song always gets me crying.

THE VOICE ACTING AND EMOTIONS WERE TOP TIER

There are always two constants in every Undertale/Deltarune universe 1. Dinosaurs are always lesbians 2. Parents are never allowed to be happy

Wow. Everything about this is perfect. The lyrics, the art, and that SCREAM. Bravo.

I’ve listened to this three times now and each one was better than the last, everything about this is amazing. Bravo!

oh my god. This was so good??? I think I cried a bit at 2:53. The emotion and desperation was so overwhelming?? Maiden was the perfect choice to be ceroba, AND ALSO TGE ART??? PERFECT. another banger from MOTI. Edit: I’ve listened to this about 20-50 times since this released yesterday . ITS SO GOOD IM GONNA CRY.

THE SCREAM IS SO GOOD OMG. The amount of passion and emotion in this is INSANE. The vocals, the art, the lyrics, the callback to Hopes and Dreams with the "No more hope" line at the same time as the AUDIO REFERENCE TO HOPES AND DREAMS- THIS COVER IS SO GOOD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! One of the best songs I've ever heard on this channel! And of course, Maiden absolutely nails the vocals. Simply phenomenal.

DUUUUDE OH MY GOD THIS IS SO GOOD?? THE VOICE ACTRESS FUCKING KILLED IT DUDE, TTHE EMOTION, THE CRYING AT THE END, THE SCREAM SHE LET OUT. AAAUUGH ITS PEAK

god.. these bytes are always so dam good, keep up the great work moti, you always spread joy to me with every post

THAT SCREAM WHAT THE

2:48 Thjs hit me straight in my soul

The voice acting was phenomenal, oh my god… fits Ceroba perfectly and the sound of pain in the vocals is so well done. The additional dialogue at the start and the scream being vocalized are also nice attentions to detail that just shows that these guys care immensely for the source material. Awesome job 👏

The vocal and tone is just perfection

YOU CANT HIT ME WITH THIS BOMBSHELL OF A VIDEO WHEN IM JUST GOING TO EAT LUNCH!

I feel ashamed to be commenting this so late, but I initially skipped this one because the voice felt a little off initially (and I hadn't really touched any major story content since I beat the game.) I watched the rest a couple weeks ago and well.. I think this is the most heartfelt voice performance I've ever heard. That scream was _hauntingly_ real, I've never heard such convincing genuine anguish before. Brought me half to tears, sincerely.

Zed is gonna go crazy over this holy shit

finally a worth opponent for hopes and dreams
