Battlefield 1 has SUCH good music...|| Lacrimosa Analysis

Lacrimosa is a hauntingly beautiful piece that is deeply fitting for an epilogue. Bf1 is one of my absolute favorite games of all time and I love the way that the game handles a major war despite being a "video game" - this piece is monumentally simple yet so stunning.

Battlefield 1 has the best soundtrack of the franchise. I will DIE in that hill. PLEASE react to the other OSTs of this game!

[@elassassin0129]

Battlefield V a close second.

[@abandonedtoothbrush]

See you on the hill, comrade 🫡

[@CommissarChaotic]

Dying by suffocation would be pretty horrifying though... are you sure?...

[@zigoter2185]

​@@elassassin0129 because the same people made the soundtrack for these 2 games. And then DICE switched soundtrack composers... Lets say that everyone certainly noticed how this affected the soundtrack even if they dont know about the fact that different people where now making the music.

[@SuperiorSani]

One thing I liked about battlefield 1 was how the music evolves over the course of the game as more dlc released. Base game: Heroism They shall not pass: Anxiety In the name of the tsar: Glory Apocalypse: Desperation DICE really outdid themselves when it came to the music for this game

[@ReconRaccoon]

What about Turning Tides?

[@alemaniacreyon]

Man I forgot how great Battlefield 1 was, didn't matter if it was the campaign or Multiplayer. The music alongside the gameplay moments made such remarkable experiences. The epic music when your pushing the enemy's defensive line back or mourning those who have fallen, it was all beautiful

[@slowestdespacitov8207]

also the game is like 5 bucks rn, the campaign is full of heart wrenching moments, would great to see u do a playthrough of the campaign.

[@_PhamTuanCuong]

The only thing I want in that game is bots but apparently the Battlefield community don't like that

[@slowestdespacitov8207]

@@_PhamTuanCuong yeah no id hate that

[@elassassin0129]

​@_PhamTuanCuong my problem with bots is how they implement them. 2042 has them on both ends where they don't feel like a threat at all to sometimes an actual bullshit mechanic. If they can improve on that, I would gladly have them more often. That being said, still enjoy the bots we currently have.

[@Chiron2187]

I sit on the menu every time I hear this track. This, and "Under No Flag" on Battlefield V. Full stop, hands off keyboard, every time...and that horn at 4:21 gets me every time.

[@Scoopado]

"under no flag" and "tiralleour" is by far my favorite osts from BFV, i'm hoping to see marco analyzing it in the near future

[@patrikmalory]

Under No Flag is such a emotionally strong that I can't even describe the deepness of the feeling when listening to it.

[@wazkangz955]

BF1's Apocalypse OST is so good. From The Four Horsemen to Lacrimosa, these tracks really immersed you into the atmosphere of the game, especially if you play in maps like Passchendaele where you can tell how terrible WW1 was.

[@chyguy3776]

YOOOOOO BF1’s soundtrack is probably the best of any shooter. Marco NEEDS to listen to Storm of steel/Metal frenzy. Also the end of rounds for In The Name of The Tsar, and well, ALL of them lol

[@BlueCore2010]

I love Battlefield 1 and the music in it, thank you so much Marco for Analyzing this piece. But I am still hoping for you to React and Analyze Battlefield 1: "Zajdi Zajdi"

[@BlackRockStella]

God, that track is such a signature.

[@NeroTheBoop]

That would be great

[@NeroTheBoop]

I still play Battlefield 1 sometimes and have been playing since 2016, I simply love it, from the campaign to multiplayer to the music, i love everything about it

[@flamevell3258]

This is a proper reaction, you brought insightful and educational content. You added more to teach others about it and you made it transformative as such as it being a musical example, hats off to you sir. You explained how Battlefield 1's piece keeps us all humanized, unlike Vanguard. The brutality of the music explains how it was the first modern war, It's still brutal with medieval weapons (to an extent) but it reminds us we're still human, mere feeble beings. It reminds us of what we had to go through.

[@MarcoMeatball]

Thanks for the positive feedback! I try to do this in every video!

[@JordanJostar]

Playing the game from launch till end it was an incredible feeling, with each expansion you felt as if you were seeing the war progress until the last maps were bleak and up in flames. Best Battlefield EVER!

[@FeroxV]

The trailer of "For the Tsar" expansion for Battlefield 1 is a particularly strong example of how well World War I theme was handled by the devs. They knew what they were doing and paid great respect for the tragedy while still making it a roller-coaster like battlefield experience.

[@paradox6655]

I absolutely love this analysis. I'm a major battlefield fan and I love your ability to feel the emotion of any music and express that

[@erfanesmaili12]

Yes! Finally Marco reacted to this one! Thanks for making another BF1 video, I think I requested this months ago❤

[@viktorbruscaginamador1755]

I played that game to the finish. The Italian campaign brought me to tears and it still does. My great great gramps fought in that battle, nearly lost his leg, won a worthless piece of metal for it… died a couple of decades later, still having pain from the freaking shrapnel in him from an Austrian shell, according to my Nona he never forgot the war, the town he came from in northern Italy (Luca) lost soo many young man, he lost soo many friends… May Luigi Cadorna rot in hell forever, damned mindless butcher

[@panzerkampfwagen8439]

Have you seen "Under No Flag" and "I Vow To Thee" from Battlefield V? I think those are worth looking at despite one being basically Pachelbel's Canon with extra steps and the other just being the main part of The Planets - Jupiter

[@Floofrer]

Greatly pictures the Victory, Honor, Loss, Shame, Defeat, and Peace in a single music.

[@mr.cheese9299]

I loved battlefield 1, this makes me want to go and listen to the tracks again

[@Blazcowitz1943]

This is one of the most emotional pieces in the Battlefield 1 soundtrack. For me, it represents the end of the Great war and now it is time to stop and reflect on everyone and everything lost. Try listening to it while looking at photos of the destruction of Ypres and Passchendaele. Its really affecting.

[@icantthinkofaname7293]

When you compare this song to Dawn of a New Time/ Zadji Zadji, i noticed something. Theyre both sad, as if morning the loss of life. But lacrimosa, which is also called the epilogue of the game, has a more positive sounding chord to end it. Dawn of a new time does not. Its almost to me, like Lacrimosa is an audio version of a survivors thoughts. Its all sad but it ends on a hopeful note, knowing they have survived the worst war in human history and knowing it cant be worse. But of course it got worse. Just twenty years later. And i feel like dawn of a new time symbolises that. Whereas Lacrimosa is a music version of a survivors feelings, dawn of a new time is what we feel, playing this game, knowing the devestation we are seeing and the song ends as sad as it started, knowing nothing good came after this war. Thats always been my petsonal view on how these two feel to me.

[@TyDie1]

This song gives me chills everytime it comes on the game. I have to put the controller down and just listen. It’s GORGEOUS

[@lonsdaleslipons9570]

This piece means a lot to me. Big time memories

[@Typhoon.703_]

You gotta listen to "The Four Horsemen" also from BF1

[@ThatOneHetzer]

this is definitely one of my favorite tracks from battlefield 1's ost. it gives me a large mix of emotions especially when thinking about it in a historical context. one of those is what you mentioned, it has that feeling of being lost and its something that some soldiers felt once the armistice was called. Some of them celebrated while others shrugged their shoulders saying "now what do we do?" some soldiers were happy they were going home whilst others didn't want to go back because the war was all they knew and they didn't have much to go home to. to me this track captures that somber feeling of "Its finally over" but also that feeling of "Where do i go from here?". I'm really happy you're covering more battlefield 1 music and I hope you cover more in the future, I especially hope you cover 'The four horsemen' track which i feel perfectly captures the horror of WW1

[@astrorick2910]

More Battlefield please!! The OST for both BF1 and BFV are great!

[@demodude6865]

there is another variant of Lacrimosa in the game, it has a lot more 'Finally it's over' feel or smt, usually played at the end of a round, just search 'Battlefield 1 Lacrimosa end of round theme'

[@sparrowjanitor1272]

id' love to see more bf1 music, 'The Four Horseman' is one of my faves as well as 'Dawn of a new time'. Such a good game.

[@sauceman2885]

This song made me cry

[@weavelcow9596]

This makes me want to go back and play the campaigns of Battlefield 1. I'm all for a stream of this game as well, seeing a few people suggest that. I feel like that's the type of stream anyone that loves these reactions could enjoy.

[@LaendonCaelum]

Yes! Battlefield 1 is such an underrated game, specially regarding it's OST. Songs I particularly recommend: Libera Me; They Shall Not Pass; Dawn of a New Time; Trembling Fear; For The Empire; Sinai Desert. And Lastly a Battlefield V theme, one of the overall best in the whole series: I Vow to Thee My Country.

[@alexM1a]

By far the best battlefield to date

That you fight in the multiplayer on the same map everytime for the same 1,5km represent the reality quite good.

Thanks for introducing me to this song, it was beautiful.

[@MarcoMeatball]

Thanks for listening

[@ballenmedia]

I recently discovered that this track, few others from BG1 as well as some tracks from Wonder Woman perfectly represent WW1 musically.

[@Johnhsbff]

Hey Marco!! I’m an Armored core fan and I noticed you haven’t done much coverage on the game. You should definitely check out Steel Haze (Rusted Pride) and The man who burned it all along with Balteus theme (Contact With You). These are all different takes on the Fires of Rubicon leitmotif with completely different emotions behind them.

[@MarcoMeatball]

I wasn’t a big fan of ac6 music but I’m going to make another pass at the ost next month

[@Johnhsbff]

@@MarcoMeatball Thank you so much!!

[@colinmunro3158]

And here I was thinking based on the title of the video that they put Mozart in Battlefield.

[@EidoXX]

I love how you covered bf1 music. I suggest you listen to coh2 musics. Especially the main theme as well as the USF's and the OKW theme. Those are absolute bangers imo.

[@uwot7289]

Oh yes CoH 2 has some amazing soundtracks. Hope he does eventually react to some

[@ellemonsters]

battlefield has some excellent music. i also recommend the music from battlefield: bad company! the cello solo version of the leggionaire's theme is so haunting.

[@CarnifexTedeus]

Battlefield 1's OST is extremely beautiful and emotional. Grace and Glory, The Flight of the Pigeon, Dawn of a New Time, The Four Horsemen, Piano Motion, Get Us Out, and the song titled "Battlefield One". Are other ones I recommend you listen to they are absolutely amazing.

[@Luckry]

Please check Grace and Glory from Battlefield 1. You probably have heard it, as you played this game, it’s one of the favorites compositions among people who played BF1 and fans

[@thomasmack6451]

The visuals, tone and music of BF1 probably makes it my favourite pvp fps of all time. on a side note, marco, please check out remnant 2's music if you get chance! a lot of top tier tracks in that ost (especially the imposter kings)
