One thing I love about homestuck is that they make all these awesome songs that go along with flashes that are usually full of nonsense.

[@BluFactory816]

Shout out to really long homestuck songs, gotta be one of my favorite genders.

[@dazeslays]

In my oppinion, music is one of the best parts of Homestuck. It's not just filler music for the flash animations, it's something that is truly beautiful. Music was actually one of the reasons that I began reading Homestuck. Bravo to all the composers who worked on all these amazing albums!!!

[@athenazheng6211]

I will not click the play button.

[@dazeslays]

Athena Zheng God dammit Athena click the play button. It's just music.

[@athenazheng6211]

No. I refuse.

Athena Zheng Oh well. You're missing out though. It is perfectly acceptable to enjoy the music without actually being in the fandom, many people do.

[@walfalcon]

Hussie said that every page in Homestuck is just a callback to something earlier(I can't remember the actual words). I guess it's kinda the same with the music.

[@tastycake413]

@@walfalcon the composers are just reusing the ame motifs, it's a pretty common thing in games, and here too, and since Jade and Jake are related this only makes sense

Homestuck music is something I used to listen to a lot, though not anymore. It's a rare time that the KZbin algorithm decided to start putting some Homestuck music back into my recommendations, and so I decided to give a few a re-listen, but so far this song has honestly had the largest impact on me. This is one of my favorite songs from the entire series, and it felt bittersweet to hear again after the past 3 years...

[@JodymiaMendoza]

anyone else think of either narnia, pirates of the caribbean, or even a really intense peter pan fight? Or is it just me?

[@torresmat10]

Well, think about it. Those are all very action/adventure heavy movies that im sure Jake likes a lot so its no surprise that youre reminded of those movies. I am too.

I had this going while playing Kerbal Space Progam just now, during a risky ascent with a heavy ship. It even got to the calmer part at 4:49 just as I got into stable orbit. It seems more epic than such a goofy game deserves.

+yoji0 i was doing an intercontinental cargo mission, one wing broke off, it then stalled, but i managed to bring it out of the stall when 4:53 and i made a heroic and memorable flight that day.

+Henry Hao My friend once brought a jet he called the wasp down for a landing on the island runway, but hit the hill and wound up reducing the vehicle to a unicycle.

"final update"... wouldn't exactly say that. he said he'll just start updating regularly, but he hasn't gotten too much done over the gigapause for some reason. honestly, of course he has a huge backlog most likely, but it'll probably take at least from half a year to a year to finish.

[@Buphido]

I like how this soundtrack includes all kinds of instruments associated with different kinds of adventure. This can be seen best from 2:26 to 2:37, where the music first reminds of a deep, crystal filled cave, then of a jungle style tribe and lastly of the soaring hot desert, while the melody itself with its ups and downs is reminiscent of the sea and is commonly used in pirate like themes (especially clear from 1:34 to 1:40).

[@matthewzakrzewski1797]

[@JetBoxSuper]

+Dat Weird 69er The name English, in this case, (and as you probably already knew) is a paradox. Caliborn steals Jakes name to spite him, but Jake got his name from his grandma who took the name English to spite Lord English. Makes it even more weird.

[@BryantArkansasRiver]

I read on TVTropes' Homestuck Crowning Music page that this is actually the longest song in the entirety of the Homestuck discography, discounting medleys like Cascade (and it's dubious that Cascade is so much a "medley" as it is a score). And IMO, it fully deserves this length. The section beginning around 4:50 reminds me in some ways of "Romancing the Stone" and similar 80s romantic movies and in some ways of the classical majesty of Gustav Holst's "Jupiter" and John Williams' scores. Bravo.

It took me five times to follow through with reading Homestuck. On the sixth try I (pun intended) stuck with it. At first, it was a corky, fun thing to read as a pass-time. But soon it became much more; it actually became an adventure. And as the story unfolded, the more and more I became part of Homestuck. Though it will one day come to an end, Homestuck will forever remain in the hearts and memories of all that may have stumbled across it one day and decided: 'Hey, I'm gonna read this!'
