Why Symphony is a Philosophical and Musical Masterpiece (Guilty Gear Strive Song Breakdown) 

I had to do a double take seeing a picture of the renowned sociologist Michel Foucault next to a picture of A.B.A.

as someone who has been listening to this song for two weeks straight I'm happy to hear it is THAT good of a song

I absolutely love that in the final part of the song any of the lines that appeared earlier in the song were changed to say we’re instead of I’m. It subtly nods to aba realizing she can work together with Paracelsus instead of doing it on her own

Drinking Game: Take a shot every time David says "Fundamentally".

This video makes me feel so much more connected to aba as a character and I’m SO here for it. I LOVE ABAAAAAAA

i’m so glad someone’s talking about this song! it means so much to me, which sounds a little silly 😭 but as someone who grew up autistic, (diagnosed, but had no clue what was wrong with me socially) this song and A.B.A’s character really speak to me. her feelings about being born into a world not built for her is all too familiar. this is a great analysis and it really highlights this brilliantly written character who hasn’t really been acknowledged in 20 years. so yeah this is my favorite video of all time now actually

this channel is a gem, thank God I found it

Ramlethal Valentine better have a three hour video about her song next.

oh hell yes i've been waiting for this video

First time here, and already hear you talking about many characters and games I like, nice content my dude!

talk about standing outside a broken phone booth with money in my hand

Extras, symphony y ups and downs son las mejores canciones que pide escuchar en mi vida (Junto al tema de Bedman en el rev2)

I am so glad I found this video its so good!!! I love guilty gear so much and the music is so good at teling stories of the characters, but also about life in general. TW (Trigger warning): violence against nuero divergent people Ive had the head cannon about A.B.A being autistic for a long time, but I havent seen many people talk about it, so it was really cool seeing you talk about A.B.A and nuero divergency and mental conditions. Somthing really interesting (And really horrible )i found when reading a book about autism was the existence of Applied Behavorial Analysis also known as "A.B.A" which is essentialy the torture of autistic children to conform to nuerotypical standards. (even typing about makes me feel gross) Whats intresting is it made wonder if the name was intentional to represent a.b.a s struggles or just the struggles of mentaly disabled or different people and how society abuses and oppresses. What was interesting in your video was that at the start you were talking about electro shock therapy (i dont know why the word theray is there its just tortuer) and how the song makes it sound like it is being used to enforce "desired" behaviours. This is done in Applied Behavorial Analysis and this oppresssion is also shown in the song as well. As an autistic trans woman with adhd (and probably depression) A.B.A is such an amazing character shes discovering herself and developing how she is to become more healthy to her standards not what societ wants, she is still figthing against normal and fitting in, she just has a greater understanding of herself. A.B.A is not broken or "crazy " like society will say she is, she doesnt need to conform she needs to break her chains of who she thinks she is and become her true self and discover how she wants to live and what she is capable of and allowed to do. I think her love being a key further shows how out cast and non conforming she is. Society would not allow her to be in love with a sentiant axe, it would think that is stupid or wrong, but as shown through the story just cause their love is different doesnt make it bad. I feel this could also be used as a mirror of non hetro normative love and how it is out cast. This video was awesome! Ive immeadiatly subscribed. It was so awesome seing your excitement for the song and character. Guilty gear and aba is a current fixation of mine and being able to hear someone passionately talk about it was awesome!!! Also its awesome that you talk about philosphy, because ive talked a lot about it with my friend but this was one of the first major times ive looked at it on my own and having the connection to games and A.B.A and guilty gear made it click in my brain that extra bit. Your channel is a wonderful niche that I did not know that I need. last things: Is your shirt blue for Paracelsus being blue? (if not nice coiencidence). Also I would say sorry for such a long post, but awesome things get long rambly posts! Hope you are having an awesome day! :)

Incredible video, very insightful as I've always had a latent interest in philosophy but never dug deep into it 10/10. However, you did say Elphelt is best girl and for that heinous sin I will have to instead rate this video as a 0/10 and disregard any information present, I'm sure you understand.

I'm absolutely no expert on psychology, music, film nor even Guilty Gear (Litchi and I-No my beloveds) but if I may, I have a critique. Your camera angle and the way your mic is set up sucks. I'd also complain how viewing you from this angle makes you look not good but the mic hides your face well enough so it alleviates the problem. Maybe I'm just not used to fish eye? Was this still too mean? I'm really sorry if so. It's just if I filter this too much it would make you assume I'm speaking to you like you're stupid which I don't want but my regular way of speaking is considered rude 😅
