THE ROAR OF THE SPARK - Guilty Gear Strive [COVER]

[@FamilyJules7X]

Thank you all for watching! I'm still a bit nervous about going all out with vocals, but I hope you like it so I feel good about doing more stuff like this in the future because it's a lot of fun! Thank you all for your support and kind words as I work to whistle notes out of my meat pipe good. Also lemmie know your mains so I can consider their themes for future covers and also learn how to beat them. As always the full tab for this is available to my Patreon supporters! Silver supporters get tabs, Gold supporters get the MP3 and WAV to all released content, and for the first time ever, all tiers above that will be featured at the end of each video as a producer! Thank you all so much for your support!

[@ravenangelomurawski4196]

I wanna hear you singgg

[@alejandroguerra7561]

Sol’s theme is pretty good, also of course Smell of the Game is a fuckin banger

[@BlitzMegad]

Hope to hear more from you, vocally. As for suggestions, depends on who's singing. Ramlethal's theme is mixed with vocals from both Naoki Hashimoto and AISHA.

[@Chaotix_]

I'd love to hear a cover of Goldlewis's theme one day!

[@lyra3]

Please please never stop singing!!!! I wonder if you'd like to cover something from Pentakill someday, just a thought♥

[@jeanschyso]

SOL: I will forge my own way through thick and thin. I might get hurt, but you can't make an omelet without breaking a few limbs. KY: I will forge a way for everyone through thick and thin. I will get hurt, but it's a price I'm willing to pay to prevent further suffering of others. LEO: I lost everyone that fought for me multiple times and cannot stop the cycle of violence. AXL: I'm hungry

[@liansmith4038]

MILLIA: I may have many regrets and made many mistakes, but it’s better to acknowledge them than pretend they don’t exist. ZATO: I’ve forgotten most of my emotions, but I will never forget the love I felt for Millia. I will keep protecting her, even if she hates me. I-NO: I desperately wish for a better future, but no matter how many times I try, I always fail. MAY: One day, Johnny’s gon’ smash this pus-

[@AverageAlchemist]

NAGO: I try to live up to my ideals of honour and enlightenment, but I am in constant battle with my bloodlust. RAM: I have rejected the destructive purpose I was created for because I see the beauty in life. POT: Society is corrupt, but I stubbornly cling to the hope that my service to it won't be for nothing. GIO: I'm rude and cool. Also, leave me alone.

[@flamaniax5728]

CHIPP: Life is full of challenges, and if you don't struggle and rise up to them, then you will be swallowed by your failures. FAUST: My life is a mess, and all of what I have done, and all of the people I've hurt, have come back to haunt me. (IDK about Faust, his theme confuses me.) ANJI: I remember how I met the one I love, and how they were broken by their loss, but I will still keep holding the torch, for them.

[@martindouge1947]

@@flamaniax5728 Faust's theme is about the guilt of letting a little girl die when he was trying to save her, realise that he isn't responsible for her death as it was an assassination performed by Zato's group, and desperately trying to find atonement. In Another Story, he manages to find atonement in saving Delilah's life again, but the exhaustion made his soul leave his body, leaving him basically a zombie roaming trying to find beauty in life again and helping whomever he can. At first I interpreted it as him asking the little girl how she sees the world from up above (the whole chorus), but it can also be interpreted as his split soul and body talking to each other after the soul's ascension ("We see eye to eye, I told me without you"). Whatever it is, Faust is trying to find the worth of his actions and life amongst the chaos that it had once been ("Destruction, Redemption, Tower of Babel"), and how he wasn't the savior everyone wanted him to be ("Messiah will not come", "I had to run away from here before the storm hit").

[@meeperdudeify]

JACK-O:Though I was created to be replaced I will not let go of my own desires. Even if my stay in this body is temporary I will live my life to the fullest, beyond my original function DRIFT: Humanity shines the brightest in the darkest times. If there is to be joy in this world, I must become a villain to be defeated, that the dawn may be more beautiful after the night TESTAMENT: Regardless of my past and my identity, I am just one of many people walking the path of life. So long as I try and do good in the world, I will have peace of mind BRIDGET: I am transgender

Strive OST: Not on Spotify Jules: I'll do it my damn self!!

[@alexbrunoyo]

OMG I need Strive OST so bad on Spotify. My 2021 playlist sucks without it.

[@cristobalromanb]

I hope it doesn't happen the same as with Persona, Spotify was filled with covers until the officially released the OST

[@davishmayo1643]

Hopefully soon. Luckily the Xrd and Accent Core official osts are on there and Xrd Sign has a lot of the best songs in the series.

[@gaddeath]

I think it's only in Japan because I found the songs but they're greyed out like they're no longer available or they're for a different region.

[@AlexMoukalaMusic]

I love seeing you using your voice more and more dude! I've been doing the same on some of the tracks I'm working on, so I know the struggle, but I'm telling you, your vocals sound very proper and add a lot of character. Mine just add character for now, but I've gotta work on the "sounding proper" part! Anyway man, keep it up! PS. Also, Armor-Clad Faith when?

[@cmk5498]

Are you gonna make a funky “society”

Alex really went all-in on GG when he found out about Smell of the Game lmao

[@davidlucena1807]

when more GGST analysis videos? (btw i love your videos)

[@Maxler5795]

i fucking love this so much. the one part i dont is how this was "the roads shines with my colors" because i always thought it was "an explosion with my colors"

[@aguywearingonlyshorts]

I've never played Guilty Gear, but Jules screaming in the thumbnail is making me think I probably should

[@ChaseTrent]

The OST is the best part though

[@AGuyThatTellsStories]

Yes. Try all them if you can. Almost al the songs bop and the gameplay is fun.

[@olmusty3339]

It's basically an anime fighting game with a huge dose of rock and heavy metal references scattered throughout the entirety of the series. Literally everything loops back into a musical reference.

[@Crunkman2k]

The running gag is that each game is actually Daisuke putting out a new metal album with a really good fighting game included as a bonus alongside it for $60. Seriously, the music in GG is the best part of it.

[@DaShonuff]

Yes you should. YES YOU SHOULD!!!!!!!!

[@andrewvassallo9364]

Strive's music is just too good not to cover. Roar of the spark is one of my favorites too so I can't wait.

[@andrewvassallo9364]

I would love to hear nessesary discrepancy covered sometime, because as a ram main it's my favorite

[@matthewc4121]

I think a cover of Crawl, the song used for Nagoriyuki's boss fight, would be an awesome cover especially because it doesn't get as much attention as the main character themes

[@Beatmaster971]

Agreed, that'd be awesome!

[@burritoboi3700]

YESSIR YESSIR crawl is the most intense song from strives ost imo!

[@devoteddarkuss]

It’s honestly a crime how underrated that song is

[@GuitarSlayer136]

That song has parts with some insane Dethklok inspiration. Such a great track.

[@sampowell6874]

I have zero musical experience but I imagine it must be incredibly difficult as a native English speaker to cover someone who isn't, especially someone with a style as unique as NAOKI. This was an absolutely fantastic cover Jules!

[@Vher_]

yeah, expecially with how many times he adds or removes syllables to words out of nowhere. It's kind of weird to hear the lyrics sung properly

[@runefaustblack]

Naoki and AISHA actually have near-perfect pronunciation. It's very uncanny to hear such messily-written Engrish so well pronounced xD

[@wethands6417]

@@runefaustblack It's an interesting thing, cause Naoki can definitely speak English perfectly and you can hear that a lot in the Xrd OST, but the writing style is different enough to allow liberties to be taken with words while still being understood in english. It's a really unique sound that I think is an intentional stylistic choice.

I love how "Holy Orders" is slipped into there. Also, your voice is perfect for this!

I really would love to see more like this. Subhuman Self (Millia), Play the Hero (Chipp), and Requiem (I-No) are my top picks.

[@Cybrtronlazr]

I would love to see Millia and Chipp. I-No theme is not my type of music though.

[@yata7450]

Would probably be trickier but I'd love a take on Necessary Discrepancy. My personal favorite theme of the bunch.

@@yata7450 did you not hear iron clad faith?

[@zero-one2585]

The "I don't know what's right for the world" part is really badass

[@arthurestudillo3253]

The shear amount of emotion in this cover is insane. I already loved this song, but the way you manage to shout "the roar of the spark" like you're genuinely calling on it. Is just incredible. I was unsure if "Welcome to the Internet" was just a fluke, but you're setting a dangerous precedent by continuing to throw this much emotion into your work.

[@jermtwitero]

YES, the Totsugeki cover was an omen for the Roar of the Spark. So much work went into this clearly, so thank you so much for making it happen. Now the posibilities are huge for Magnolia Eclair or Sol's theme in Strive

[@BrianTheGoblin]

Recognizing the amount of work Daisuke puts into the harmonizing and unusual use of key changes and stuff, this is incredibly loyal to the original with exactly enough of your own personality to be noteworthy. 🤟

[@Randomizer482]

Brother, I stopped watching your covers a while ago, sorta just wasn't my thing anymore, but Guilty Gear music can drag me back in easy. Not only did you nail the instrumentation, but your vocals were freakin spot on. When you go hard in the chorus that's some goose bumps there, you hit "the roar of the spark" line with the perfect amount of oomph. Please do more vocal covers.

[@explosivediarrhoea4336]

oddly wholesome

[@kasbakgaming]

I dig the Holy Orders riff during the solo in the middle there. Subtle nod back to the old theme, very well executed.

[@pumpkinlemonadezero9995]

This is such an amazing cover. The entire soundtrack of GGS has pretty much become one of my favorite videogame OSTs ever and The Roar of the Spark is arguably one of my favorites from it. You really did this phenomenal character theme justice and I really hope that this is not the last we have heard of GGS covers from you

[@RhiShadows]

Absolutely incredible! I must admit I’ve never played Strive, but this is making me want to pick it up. I LOVED your vocals and I’m so, SO happy you’re doing more vocal covers! Trying hard not to sound like a simp here but you’re just so amazing that I just wanna fill this with compliments and 10/10s aahhshhdhsjs

[@jirojairo90]

Try it out, it's really fun and simple to pick up :)

[@webber-4144]

Prob the most beginner friendly fighting game, as a newbie to this genre I’m having a blast! Pick it up when it’s on sale, I’m sure you’ll have a blast. Also they feature a 4 hour movie attached in their story lol

[@josh___something]

Also from what I've heard, a lot of the character themes FUCKIN SLAP.

[@neardarkroad1347]

this part of lyrics seems not as popular as the "under the sacred briar" part but it always hype me up: "That's right GO FORTH! DON'T LOOK BACK! I CAN BELIEVE IN THE PATH I'M ON!

Same. It also took me until this videonto realize it's "briars" and not "fires"

Dude, hell yeah! Great singing that’s for goddamn sure! I’m a terrible metal vocalist so I can’t really say anything other than: I definitely understand that feeling of “my voice sounds weird to me” you mentioned, and you did a fantastic job! Well done!
