#lis farewell soundtrack

[thealexchen]

hi! i recently got back into lis2 again and that made me really curious - do you still agree with a majority of the critiques you made on lis2 in 2020? i know it's been 4 years since that post was made, but i actually do remember when you dropped this critique on a separate account and i'd thought it was an interesting one to keep in mind back then :)

i appreciated a lot of what you have to say, even if i respectfully disagree with almost all of it 😭 - i didn't want to drop a whole "why" i disagree discussion on here because it seems kind of rude to drop such a huge thing about it haha, but i would like to say that this critique actually did stick with me for a bit and i appreciate that you made it when you did! your account was a big lis2 acc that i remember back in the day, and i always loved seeing your posts!

Hi there and thanks for your ask! I think I may know who you are, but you did get me thinking about that critique again (has it been four years already?? Jesus). After rereading it again, I have to say my overall opinions haven’t changed… I’m just not as invested in them as I used to be.

Since DE came out, I’ve seen a drastic shift from favoring D9 to DN, but I really think the reception comes down to their creative choices (or lack thereof). When I gave my initial thoughts on DE in May, I said that D9’s games rely heavily on fanservice to be marketable, while LiS2 was divisive from the jump because it was so obviously rooted in DN’s prioritization of making a game out of passion and not what would sell well (a continuation of Max and Chloe’s story). People have mostly been complaining that DE feels written without much thought or care for the original game, with lazy offscreen narrative decisions. Unfortunately, I believe this output is really due to D9 being puppeteered by Square to “corporatize” this series to death, which I find really depressing.

When LiS1 first debuted in 2015, the gaming industry was still recovering from Gamergate (which proved how misogynistic it still was) and LGBT+ issues were finally achieving mainstream attention, both positive and negative. The media storm surrounding LiS1 all focused on how different it was. It was truly radical at the time to turn what would be a typical Sundance indie film plot into an interactive AA game and make it mainstream. I think both the positive attention from gamers starved for a story like this and the negative attention calling it “Life is Tumblr” contributed to its massive popularity and attention that hasn’t been matched since.

I have always, always believed (like since 2018) in LiS being an anthology series and letting Max and Chloe’s story end. “Farewell” was supposed to be that, and I was really excited to see what DN was making next and hopeful I could fall in love with LiS2 like I did the first game. Even if I found LiS2’s narrative choices really frustrating, I still respect DN for sticking to their vision. Honestly, Michel Koch deserves his flowers so much for staying active on Twitter through years of fan hate and complaining and posting consistently respectful replies, even as his own characters have likely become unrecognizable to him.

But while DN stuck to their vision about LiS2, I think the main contextual issue with the game (and where my critiques came from) is there was too much pressure to follow up an accidental hit. DN wanted to follow up LiS1 with an even bigger, more serious, more ambitious, maybe more “artistic” and “daring” game that was boldly political… but I just don’t think they achieved that. The game still looks beautiful, with a strong soundtrack, art direction, moments of calm, and great environmental storytelling like the first game. But while LiS1 lured you into a false sense of security with its cozy vibes and high school setting, only to blindside gamers with heartbreaking and shocking plot twists late in the game, LiS2 is just a misery fest from start to end in an attempt to be as serious and memorable as the first game. There isn’t enough joy and nostalgia (DN is SO good at nostalgia) to contrast the sorrow, and the game wasn’t as memorable or fun to play for me.

My main critique in 2020 was the game relies too much on a violent trauma narrative without proper research and content warnings. Looking back on it now, I think DN internalized the praise too strongly that LiS1 was daring and different. They tried to be even more topical and bold without regard to how actual players of color might react to the racial violence onscreen. In addition, I critiqued LiS2 for not showcasing the positive aspects of Sean and Daniel’s Mexican heritage to contrast all the racism, and I thought True Colors did a better job at including meaningful and positive cultural details for Alex and Gabe’s family. They likely didn’t think to research more carefully how to depict POC (and how the standards for sensitive representation might be different in the U.S. compared to France). American politics are also wayyyy more complex than what’s on the news, and have a massive historical, social, and economic background, and nowadays, I’ll cut DN some slack and say I think that’s too much to tackle for any game. Yes, DN could’ve done better, but I wouldn’t critique them as harshly today, and I know they had good intentions.

If the pressure to follow up LiS1 wasn’t there, maybe LiS2 could’ve been different. Maybe DN wouldn’t have bit off more they could chew, or maybe this game could’ve been made independently of the LiS series and judged on its own merit. A game like Tell Me Why shows how DN is at their best when they tell smaller, nostalgic stories and are able to do the right research and collaborate with the right consultants and actors. I hope Lost Records can be the same, since DN is pitching it from the jump as an anthology and likely their do-over of LiS as their own independent studio.

Thank you again for asking! It was nice to revisit my critique. If you’d still like to talk about it, I am down for a friendly debate!

100 Great Albums from 2024.

OK…

I listened to a lot of music this year, and I am not going to prattle on about it all this time because there's too much. These are the albums that came out this year that I really liked. They aren't in a specific order, but they are in a general order (closer to the top just means I listened to it more often, or responded enthusiastically/felt really strongly about it). I have been doing a lot of radio this year, and so I've listened to so much music. It's not trying to be a definitive top 100 list, I am sure I missed some gems, but these are things I personally liked. Then there are some special mentions at the end that include some reissues that include some reworked/additional material, and some compilations/live albums as well. Genres are all over the place, from heavy to light to weird to weirder. Check things out and enjoy the adventure.

Fontaine Battle Themes “Envoi of Coppelius” & “Lamentation et Triomphe” Reaction

For “Envoi of Coppelius” I focus more on the name’s literary allusions, and for “Lamentation et Triomphe” I focus more on the formal narrative aspect. If you wanna learn more about the actual instruments used in “Lamentation et Triomphe” I’d highly recommend MarcoMeatball’s reaction!

-

Envoi of Coppelius / 科培琉司的辞行

Impression

This is (one of) the Fontaine battle theme(s)?? So much is going on.

It doesn’t feel intimidating, and rather feels like a grand performance with elaborate dance moves.

Yet it’s multi-layered and surely beneath this grand movement there lies… something. I can’t discern it.

Rather, if you ask someone who doesn’t know the game whether this sounds like ballroom music or a battle theme, they would likely answer the former.

But if you imagine this in the context of a battle in Fontaine… If during a deadly battle in the fields of Fontaine, all you hear is music you’d find in a ballroom… then it downplays the dangerous nature of the situation.

So this also represents the culture of Fontainians seeing court trials as a theatrical performance

Something in the piano arpeggios (?) signify an undercurrent of danger

Name Significance: Literary Allusions

envoi (also envoy): “The brief stanza that ends French poetic forms such as the ballade or sestina. It usually serves as a summation or a dedication to a particular person.” (“Glossary of Poetic Terms”, Poetry Foundation)

Coppelius: “Coppelia and Coppelius are two characters that appear in the [real-life] ballet Coppélia, in which Dr. Coppelius creates Coppelia, a mechanical doll so lifelike that it is mistaken for a real woman.” (“Icewind Suite”, Genshin Impact wiki)

In the context of the Archon Quest, Dr. Coppelius might represent Focalors the Hydro Archon, and Coppelia represents… Furina, a human who plays the role of the Hydro Archon

But given the Icewind Suite’s—and its inspiration’s—mechanical nature, I wonder if the name brings any meaning to the Narzissenkreuz Ordo…

The track’s Chinese name, “科培琉司的辞行” is something like, “Coppelius’ Farewell to Family and Friends Before a Voyage”

科培琉司 (Kēpéiliúsī). The in-game transcription of the name Coppelius.

The individual hanzi have significance, probably related to the boss’ mechanical nature.

科 = (academic) subject

培 = to train (people)

琉 = 琉璃 = coloured glaze, lazurite, coloured glass

司 = department

科培琉司 (Kēpéiliúsī) is written and pronounced differently from the name 葛蓓留斯 (Gébèiliúsī), which is the accepted transcription for Dr. Coppelius, the character from the real-life ballet, Coppélia. (“葛蓓莉亚”, Baidu)

辞行 (cíxíng), verb. To bid farewell towards family and friends before leaving for a long journey.

Hm. Just like the Fontaine Archon Quest. In a nation where trials were seen as theatrical performances or opera, of course the battle theme sounds like this.

-

Lamentation et Triomphe

Impression: Form & Narrative

0:05 - Staccato forte strings. Now that sounds Mondstadtian, but much more intense and grand. (Understandable.)

This sounds like a properly dangerous and tense theme.

0:15 - Oh, it goes back to sounding like a more casual dance again while still retaining the staccato forte strings… Of course, as expected of the Nation of Hydro. (Didn’t I hear this section in 4.2’s PV? No, that’s a different one…)

Thanks to the introduction, you cannot possibly ignore the danger beneath it all, yet the surface is still so grand as though it’s just a dance…

As though the soundtrack itself is trying to desperately cover up something tense through theatrics and grandeur.

That tiny calmness in the fingerstyle guitar sure fools you into thinking it’s calmed down.

0:37 - The intensity is back to the surface again…

0:47 - But it’s again submerged in the grandeur of the strings above…

1:01 - Piano and fingerstyle guitar… The guitar sounds personal and yet the deep piano chords underneath suggest the same thing as the strings previously.

Hmm… It’s desperately trying to cover up with a grand performance but it’s not working… hehe. You can’t fool me with that sort of intro.

1:13 - I see… everyone dancing with confident energy in their synchronized movements, yet beneath the elaborate costumes and wonderful music, they all hold daggers pointed at one another. A masquerade of…

1:22 - And then, with the bright brass sound, the spotlights focus on the primadonna, and they all turn to watch her performance. And they applaud…

This track is four minutes… We’re only halfway through, oh my… This proves the brilliance and thoughtfulness of this composition…

1:52 - Oh? Soft and graceful, yet playful… With the fingerstyle guitar back and quiet staccato strings in the background. Like honey-smooth water… Furina de Fontaine.

2:13 - This motif again. Where have I heard of it… The tensity is gone and there’s playfulness and confidence.

2:35 - I heard the first five or three notes of the Fontaine leitmotif quietly and briefly in the background… And then it’s gone.

2:47 - That grand performance is back again…

2:54 - And so is that deep tragedy, punctuated by the same forte staccato. (Or is it staccato forte)

2:59 - Oh? Peace with strings and guitar?

3:07 - There’s that sadness again.

3:10 - Hmm… Those two forces are showing their faces more and more frequently, huh.

3:21 - Hm? There’s a sense of pride and proper victory in the grandeur here.

3:42 - Hooh…. The intro is back. Or more accurately speaking, the overture got a finale…

Oh… This was perfect… This was such a wild ride with so many facets and contrasting forces struggling to take the spotlight or hide from it… I love it. Lamentation et Triomphe indeed.

[gachagon]

Trying to listen to the RWBY soundtrack again to cheer myself up after this episode, but all the lyrics are like:

"I don't wanna hear your absolution, hope your ready for a revolution." "We can't just wait with lives at stake until they think we're ready." "I may fall...but not like this, it won't be by your hand. I may fall, not like this, not today." "Where did it go? our peaceful youth, seems to be gone forever. And in it's place, a life of war, every truce has severed." "The machines of war will fuel both sides, and the greed will only grow more lies, farewell to days of peace because now it's time to die."

and now I realize this entire time the OST has really been Ruby's diary a roadmap of her declining mental health as each song somehow someway goes back to how she sees herself as a Huntress and how she doesn't want to fail anyone. And now that this episode has happened I finally realize how unhealthy that obsession of being the protector for everyone really was for Ruby and how she really didn't have anyone to talk to about this and and and-

[retrogamingloft]

Let's face it: the Mario Kart series set the bar so high that every kart game automatically gets compared to it. Its exceptional standard becomes the yardstick for the genre. It might sound biased, but it's only natural when you're faced with an attempt at imitation. Don't get me wrong, imitation isn't inherently bad, as long as the final product is enjoyable. Unfortunately, Atari Karts doesn't quite hit the mark.

The requirement to progress through easier levels to reach the hardest isn't necessarily a flaw. While some prefer immediate access to the highest difficulty (as seen in Mario Kart releases), earning the right to compete at an elite level has its rationale. However, the real issue lies in the gameplay.

Regardless of the character you choose, you're always the weakest driver in the pack. Whenever you collide with an opponent, they'll forcefully bounce you aside, continuing unscathed. I'm not asking for realism, just a bit of fairness. Losing a race at the last moment because an opponent deliberately knocks you off track isn't enjoyable.

But the game's biggest flaw? No matter your efforts or knowledge of the tracks, your kart will inevitably get stuck due to ground irregularities or obstacles. If that happens, you're either fortunate to quickly regain control by countersteering, or you can bid farewell to the race and the cup itself (which consists of six races, btw), as it takes at least 15 seconds to free your kart. Needless to say, it's one of the most frustrating kart racing games I've ever played.

Finally, while the soundtrack is decent, it doesn't quite complement this type of game. I expected more playful, dynamic tunes; instead, the tracks resemble those from an RPG, creating an odd atmosphere.

Interpolating Musical Nostalgia in Modern Advertising

The advertising industry has long harnessed the power of music to draw emotional responses from its audience. One innovative approach that has gained popularity is the use of interpolated music. This technique involves taking recognizable elements from classic songs and reimagining them within new compositions. By doing so, advertisers can evoke nostalgia while connecting with more contemporary themes, appealing to a broader demographic. This method not only honors musical heritages but also introduces them to younger generations in a fresh and relevant way.

Google's Approach to Memorable Advertising

Google is renowned for its clever and emotionally engaging advertisements. The selection of a google advert song is crucial, as music plays a pivotal role in enhancing the narrative of their ads. By choosing the right track, Google ensures that the message not only reaches but also resonates deeply with its audience. The effectiveness of these songs is seen in how they stick with viewers, often becoming as iconic as the ads themselves. The music chosen often reflects Google's brand values of innovation, inclusivity, and impact, making each campaign memorable.

Enhancing Farewell Parties with the Right Playlist

Music selections at farewell parties are essential in setting the right tone for the event. Choosing the best songs for a farewell party involves a delicate balance between celebrating the past achievements and experiences shared while looking forward to future endeavors. The right playlist can evoke a range of emotions, from joy to nostalgia, making the farewell not just a moment of sadness but a celebration of good memories. Music serves as a bridge, connecting people through shared melodies and lyrics that resonate with everyone's experiences.

The Importance of TTPD for Musicians

For musicians, the landscape of music distribution has transformed with the advent of digital platforms. TTPD or Track To Playlist Distribution is a crucial concept in this new digital era. It allows artists to ensure their music is not only heard but is also featured on popular playlists across various streaming services. This exposure is vital for both emerging and established artists, as it significantly increases their music's reach and helps in building a more substantial listener base. Understanding and utilizing TTPD can often mean the difference between remaining an obscure artist and becoming a noted contributor to the music scene.

Songs About Achievement: Inspiring Listeners

Music that centers on themes of success and achievement plays a motivational role in the lives of listeners. Songs about achievement inspire and motivate people to overcome challenges and strive towards their goals. These songs often become anthems at celebrations, be it at personal milestones like graduations and promotions, or at major corporate events. The power of these songs lies in their ability to uplift spirits and reinforce the belief in one's capabilities and future successes.

Conclusion

Music’s role in advertising, events, and personal achievements illustrates its powerful impact on human emotions and activities. Whether it's through the strategic use of interpolated music in ads, the thoughtful curation of playlists for significant life events, or empowering tracks that celebrate achievements, music remains a fundamental element in crafting memorable experiences and inspiring actions. For advertisers, event planners, and musicians, understanding how to effectively harness this power can lead to profound connections with their respective audiences, making every composition an integral part of life’s soundtrack.

Bye Song: Heartfelt Farewell Tracks for Every Occasion

Saying goodbye is never easy, whether it’s to a loved one, a friend, or a chapter in your life. Music has always been a way for us to express our deepest emotions, and bye songs are a perfect example of how music can capture the bittersweetness of parting ways. These songs offer solace during moments of separation, providing a soundtrack to the emotional journey that comes with saying farewell. From heartfelt ballads to powerful anthems, bye songs offer listeners a way to process emotions and reflect on the memories they are leaving behind.

One of the reasons why bye songs resonate so deeply with listeners is because they tap into universal experiences. Whether it’s a breakup, a long-distance relationship, or the closing of a chapter in life, the theme of departure is something everyone can relate to. The beauty of these songs lies in their ability to convey the complexity of emotions that accompany parting: sadness, hope, nostalgia, and even the quiet relief that sometimes comes with moving on.

Snow Song: Winter Farewells

Interestingly, some snow songs capture the essence of farewells, especially those set against the backdrop of winter. Snow, with its quiet and peaceful beauty, often serves as a metaphor for transitions and endings. A snow song can evoke a sense of calm that mirrors the stillness of a goodbye. Imagine a song where the lyrics describe snowflakes gently falling, signifying the end of something beautiful but fleeting. The coldness of winter can echo the chilling reality of parting, while the purity and quiet of snow offer a sense of renewal.

Some snow songs pair beautifully with the idea of farewells, as they speak of letting go, embracing change, and finding peace amidst the cold. The imagery of snow can be comforting, reminding us that even the harshest of seasons eventually pass and give way to new beginnings. If you're seeking comfort through music as you face an impending goodbye, a snow song could be the perfect genre to set the tone of reflection and acceptance.

Songs on Love and Loss

When we talk about songs on farewells, it’s impossible to avoid the emotional connection between love and loss. Songs on love often speak of deep emotions and the struggles that come with saying goodbye to someone special. Some of the most iconic farewell songs in music history are rooted in love and the complex feelings that arise when a relationship ends.

For example, songs like "Someone Like You" by Adele and "Tears Dry on Their Own" by Amy Winehouse embody the pain and hope of moving on from a significant relationship. These songs on love convey not only the heartache of separation but also the strength that comes with healing. A bye song related to love often balances the sadness of loss with the recognition that life must continue, and sometimes, saying goodbye is the best way to grow.

While bye songs related to romantic love are some of the most well-known, they are not limited to just heartbreak. Many farewell songs celebrate the positive aspects of love and acknowledge that although the relationship may be ending, the love shared was meaningful. These songs on love can help people process their emotions and find peace in the idea that all experiences, even painful ones, have their place in the story of our lives.

Sugar Lyrics: Sweet Goodbyes

As much as farewells can bring pain, they can also bring sweetness, especially when the separation is on good terms. In these cases, sugar lyrics—lyrics that evoke sweetness, love, and kindness—can transform a bye song into a beautiful tribute. Think of a farewell song that expresses gratitude for the time spent together, acknowledging both the good and the bad moments, and offering a wish for the future. These songs use sugar lyrics to soften the pain of parting, turning it into something more uplifting.

For example, songs like "Goodbye My Lover" by James Blunt or "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston use sugar lyrics to frame goodbye as an act of love rather than a painful separation. The lyrics in these songs express a deep, abiding love, even as they recognize that it’s time to let go. This emotional complexity is what makes bye songs with sugar lyrics so powerful—they allow for closure, offering a sweet and sentimental goodbye.

The Impact of the Top 10 Female Singers in the World

The artists who perform bye songs and snow songs have an immense impact on how these themes are expressed and received. When it comes to powerful vocal performances, the top 10 female singers in the world have a unique ability to convey emotion through their music, making their bye songs and snow songs some of the most memorable.

Artists like Adele, Beyoncé, and Whitney Houston are known for their ability to pour their emotions into a song, creating an unforgettable experience for the listener. These women have the rare ability to balance vulnerability with strength in their performances, which makes their bye songs so impactful. Whether it’s the raw emotion in Adele’s "Someone Like You" or the soul-stirring power of Beyoncé’s "Irreplaceable," these artists know how to use their voices to make their farewells resonate deeply with their audience.

Additionally, many of the top 10 female singers in the world also explore themes of love, loss, and moving on in their music, making them perfect for creating unforgettable snow songs and bye songs. These artists understand the catharsis that comes with expressing emotions through music, making them masters at turning the pain of parting into something beautiful and relatable.

Conclusion: The Power of Music in Saying Goodbye

Whether it’s a snow song that captures the beauty and sadness of winter, sugar lyrics that sweeten a heartfelt farewell, or a bye song that helps us process the end of a chapter, music has the power to transform our feelings of loss into something meaningful. The top 10 female singers in the world have the talent to take these themes and elevate them, creating timeless songs that touch our hearts and help us say goodbye in a way that feels healing and cathartic.

Music has the unique ability to help us navigate the complexities of life’s transitions. With the right song, the process of saying goodbye becomes more than just a sad farewell—it becomes an opportunity for reflection, healing, and growth. Whether you’re drawn to the melancholy beauty of a snow song, the sweet sentiment of sugar lyrics, or the emotional depth of a bye song, there’s a song out there that speaks to your soul and helps you find peace in parting ways.

Hey music fam, gather 'round as we take a journey back to the era of soulful tunes and funky beats. 🌟 In 2020, we bid farewell to a true musical genius, Ronald Bell, whose talents transcended boundaries and left an indelible mark on the world of music. 🙏🎵

Ronald Bell wasn't just a musician; he was a composer, singer, songwriter, arranger, producer, and saxophonist extraordinaire! 😎 As one of the co-founding members of Kool & the Gang, he crafted the soundtrack of our lives with hits that are timeless.

"Jungle Boogie" catapulted Kool & the Gang to new heights when it was released in 1973. This infectious jam hit #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the R&B chart, solidifying its status as a timeless classic.

The song's success lies not only in its catchy melody but also in its irresistible rhythm. The infectious saxophone riff, funky bassline, and lively percussion create an atmosphere that's impossible to resist.

Ronald Bell's music is more than just melodies and rhythms; it's the soundtrack to our most cherished memories.

Join me on this journey of musical nostalgia as we pay tribute to the man who brought joy and happiness to our lives through his incredible artistry. Let's keep the legacy alive, one groove at a time!

Hit that follow button if you want more music stories, legendary vibes, and the soulful rhythm of life. 📸🎤🎶 #RonaldBellTribute #KoolAndTheGang #MusicalLegend #GrooveOn #MusicIsLife

Weekly Writing Update March 2, 2022

Progress made: 7.5k words drafted (and 2.1k of planning/brainstorming) WIPs worked on: Echoseers (total wc: 50.8k) Writing streak: 201 days Current chapter + POV: just finished chapter 10/interlude ii yesterday, and i have yet to decide what the POV for chapter 11 will be

Favorite line(s) since last update (a ~surprise~ POV for the second interlude):

Baba does not speak to me when they finally catch up in the early dawn of summer. They simply close their door of blue stained glass and wait.

I do not apologize, for the cold seeped into my heart, and I decided I liked it better than the warmth.

Scene I'm looking forward to:

well, im going to get to indulge my horror-obsessed side of writing with Nightmares Aplenty for ember's side of the story from here on out, and im super pumped for the first one and the conversation it sparks by the fireside!!

This week's soundtrack:

Farewell Brave Friend by Adriel Fair, Agni Kai by Sweetboikyle and Gamechops, and Shape of Lies by Eternal Eclipse.

Notes/thoughts:

so as usual, i absolutely blasted through the interludes, and also i hit 50k in the process, which is absolutely buckwild for me. but now i also have to do some minimal aspects of actual planning because i have. 3+ storylines that are happening at the same time but are not shown in chronological order,,,, and also i have to figure out what. exactly. half of their plots are. because i like pantsing and i have a direction but no middle.

im thriving, is what im trying to say 💅
