The opening notes of "Before the Story" are from "Premonition" in Undertale.

[@tunebea]

I was the same playing Deltarune for the first time - enjoying myself but not knowing what the heck was going on. But when the Once Upon a Time leitmotif kicked in at the end of Beginning, it reminded me that this is a Toby Fox game, and all will be revealed in the end.

*"Hip Shop"* contains *"It's Raining Somewhere Else"* Also, *"Susie"*, *"Versus Susie"* and *"Imminent Death"* have an intro sequence of *"Your Best Nightmare"*

[@sleepyheadlbp55]

you mean sans theme, or just the orginal bits of IRSE?

[@MediaMotifs]

Where? edit: nvm, I hear it on the piano I think. I don't think it's intentional, it's only the first two "bits" on the piano.

[@FelipeSouza-gb7yf]

And the "Susie joined for real" theme is the beginning of Snowdin Town, which is Sans' theme

[@danielribeiro9678]

“You Can Always Come Home” is just a remix of “Home” And ironically, After you spare Toriel in UT she tells you not to return to the RUINS, which is basically home.

[@inactive6320]

DELTARUNE: you can always come home Undertale: well yes but actually no

[@cheryl_the_bakarashii_cherry]

wait

[@user-sg4uk9qn7p]

I Feel Like That's Intentional?? Knowing Toby, I Wouldn't Doubt It

[@papershadow]

People often point out that "Home" is in a weird time/out of time, so it has a cozy feeling but doesn't QUITE feel right, akin to how Toriel makes the Ruins welcoming for Frisk but it's not where they belong. Compare how YCACH is smooth and on rhythm for the whole song and shared Leitmotif, because Kris is and wants to be part of the Dreemurr family as much as they're welcomed in. Toby's mentioned that he apparently had concepts for Deltarune as far back as 2012 and pre-dating Undertale, which makes me wonder which came "first" in this particular musical aspect.

[@unknown_acc8389]

Oh no, kris don't cry !

[@shnowie6212]

Kris can cry whenever he wants to. he legit rips his own soul out then he has the right to cry

[@DivineDefect]

* Kris stops crying... because he had to follow the order.

[@hongkonger885]

[@geoffberry8407]

@@leaeughfish5944 Papyrus: SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@williammerwin1850]

Fun fact: The main melody of Before the Story is actually a deeper version of Premonition (The music that plays when Sans asks you about Flowey), which is a calm piano version of Your Best Nightmere I know there's a reason that Toby did that, I just can't figure out why

[@kitsuofliyue224]

Sans has a Premonition about Flowey, whose track is Your Best Nightmare, and Flowey was there Before the Story

[@serdarmurat1515]

Your best nightmare is also a more intimidating leitmotif of once upon a time tho

[@xshullaw]

Given the track is called "Before the Story", a simple answer would be this song is an omen of what's to come. Once Upon A Time isn't the only extra song here; THE HOLY from Deltarune fades in and out of the background.

[@Quartz512_]

Doesn't it also play in the redacted room?

[@ethanotoroculus1060]

I appreciate the fireplace sound effects in You Can Always Come Home.

[@MEGATBLAZER]

8:05 This was literally in Undertale, but in the never used Soundtrack

[@JACOB-iq6xt]

It's literally just a different version of premonition from UT I think

[@awato987]

You can't say it for sure. Well yes, this was used in PS4 Undertale theme, but keep in mind that Deltarune was in the development since 2013, so you might be having things backwards.

[@LANmaster7]

I love that You Can Always Come Home has that little section from Once Upon a Time in the background, because that's also the driving melody in Hopes and Dreams. It shows that even though he's not here, you can't take memories of Asriel out of this place.

[@amberhernandez]

I love Quiet Autumn. It reminds me of the opening music from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, during the character creation.

[@TheAdvertisement]

Aw man you should’ve saved this for anniversary. I’m glad to see this remake though, with all that’s been discovered. And don’t worry, I’m over the Gaster’s theme thing. Hopefully. Well maybe Scar- 2:43 Thanks for noticing that.

[@MediaMotifs]

Haha thanks, and yeah, I plan to do the Don't Forget motif for the anniversary.

[@melissaardon2294]

The Rude Buster comparison is perfect meme music. Change my mind.

[@newbiegamelover4767]

I knew you'd have Kris tearing up during Beginning and You Can Always Come Home! That's what you did for the Delta Rune in the original version. Plus, those two songs do have some nostalgic vibes, especially the latter song!

god damn, that 'once upon a time' lietmotif at the begining gets me every single time man

[@FTMothman]

Deltarune feels like going back home and realizing that everything has changed. But at the same time noticing how much is the same.

[@supermsir2980]

5:57 awww Kris is crying

[@ben_beanbag9502]

So nice to see another one of your videos again. It feels like it’s been forever since you’ve posted. I loved the little touches at the beginning of the video like Kris’s tear during Beginning and the quick flash of Toriel hugging Frisk when she hugged Kris were the only ones I saw but if there were they were probably amazing. Great job on this video and good luck on the next video.

[@mulberrytea549]

My goodness when Before the story began playing that nolstagia really kicked in. I speedrun deltarune so I listen to this song quite a bit.

[@TuxMan404]

“Before the Story” (8:05) also has “Premonition” in it.

[@sleepyheadlbp55]

I still think the "Companionship Theme" and "Once Upon a Time" section 2 are related: (the following is transcribed to be more clear) 4 notes (GGGG)(CCAG), this: (FEF), then (GCG)(GE[EbD]C) (both go up them down), repeat 4 notes and (FEF) (with minor variations, (FGA) in once upon a time) last section is completely diffrent though. and the first of the 4 notes is spaced diffrent in OUaT.

[@neosaysmeow6790]

With all of the Undertale leitmotifs, it makes me wonder if it's just there to make people nostalgic, or if it will have some kind of relevance later.

Probably the first one

[@muizsp9525]

The World Revolving contains Gaster(ish) theme on it

[@tru3vort3x2]

You know, I thought I could hear a broken part of Undertale in Susie. I even tested it and Im pretty sure I can hear it at the 3rd guitar riff.

[@sleepyheadlbp55]

I think it has "You Idiot" in it. (flowey's "evil" theme)

[@melissaardon2294]

Imminent Death has Your Best Nightmare

[@lemonadesnake]

Fun fact: Before The Story was made before deltarune

[@WhoStoleKirya73]

It's name just fits perfectly. It was made "before the story"

[@ociorel]

Not really since Deltarune started being developed before Undertale

[@Edgemender]

First Frisk, after Kris. F. (For Jakob)

[@theinternetfoos3952]

im not sure if its just me but im also hearing some "It's Raining Somewhere Else" on "Before the Story"

[@tonim.8016]

8:06 if you count rhythm only, you could technically even include Premonition. To be fair it can be hard to notice since Premonition takes up four bars per time the motif is played, whereas in Before The Story the initial piano motif only takes on two bars. The fact that the last notes on each Premonition motive are polyphonic adds to that.

[@erdemtascioglu6160]

8:08 guys who knew that because of afk ing?

[@Azzimihr]

is it just me or does the beginning of before the story kinda sound like premonition

Lol there is actually a theme called undertale in undertale xd and it also has leitmotifs

It sounds similar but it’s not really the same....

1:00 I choked when the overlap faded in and out.

[@DogDogGodFog]

Whatever 'companionship theme' means, I mostly recognize is as something that appears in Hopes and Dreams/Save the World a few times, the wiki lists it as the 'Dreams' leitmotif

[@humanl4903]
