[@MCWaxC]

I feel like RWBY is gradually trying to introduce the idea that, even in life's chaos, even if things aren't perfect, optimism is possible.

[@TheEman590]

That's what I'm trying to adopt in life. Yes, the world isn't perfect, but we need to see the beauty and fun warmth that is there and possible. I respect Rooster Teeth's shows for being very Anti-Nihilist. Even two talk show hosts whom I respect a lot, Conan O'Brien and Steve Colbert, gave speeches on why cynicism can ruin your life. (I say try to be more of a realist but keep the ideals you want to achieve)

[@WhyLychee]

I think that Ruby is the symbol of that, as she is almost always optimistic even when the others are not

[@gamer4lyfe480]

The songs are told by two different perspectives. They both see the world different.

[@darthpotato3566]

[@spartanhawk7637]

Can’t deny it though, Die would be a great song for a tough boss fight.

[@RaynosFAA777]

They can both be true at the same time. "Time will mend our hearts", as in just leaving something to mend itself over time. Or "not every open wound is simply healed by time", sometimes you need more than just time to heal a wound. Maybe you need forgiveness, or to just let something go in order to become fully healed.

[@spiritninja5757]

Die comes from a place of still being stuck on the past but let’s just live comes from a place of healing and moving forward

"Go forward, you must keep moving on." I keep this song to my heart from this day on.

My wife loved this song when it played during Season 4. She had been battling ovarian cancer for two years, and this song spoke very heavily to her. She passed away on June 3rd, 8:07pm GMT -5. She really would have wanted to hear the remainder of the song. The portion at 2:45 still gives me chills, because seriously.. It's exactly how she would have wanted to be remembered. This song is an anthem to her last two years on this earth, and I thank you for sharing this. It's.. Been a big help.

This Will Be The Day: opening full of energy for a new show ready to burst onto the scene Time To Say Goodbye: opening still energetic, but now hinting at a more somber and solemn background atmosphere and future When It Falls: opening that let's us know that now the show takes its dark turn and all hell breaks loose This song: opening that gives us hope, even in this new, unfamiliar, and even uncomfortable atmosphere, that we can return somewhat to the way things were Jeff Williams could almost craft the stories based on the songs alone. Thank you so much to him, Casey, and RT for this wonderful show and music, and thanks to Flynt for giving us the lyrics to go with it. Can't wait to see what The Next Step will be! *See what I did there. I have unlocked my inner Barbara. ;)*

"Go forward, you must keep moving on". To the Volume 4 critics out there (I know there are a lot of you), I ask you this: Would Monty have wanted RWBY to end before it's time, when he'd given them enough to, as he always said, 'keep moving forward"? I think we all know the answer to that. My advice to you is not to stop being critical, but voice your criticisms constructively. If the animation is bad, list examples. If you think the pacing is too slow, point out where. If you just think it's not quite the same without Monty, then you're right, and nobody will argue on that point, but know that they aren't trying to be Monty, and that Monty probably wouldn't want them to be him, either. I think that, if there were anyone he trusted, it would be the staff working on it now. So we should keep moving forward, as they are.

[@megadeath098ajb]

This song speaks to me in so many levels. I've been battling depression ever since my mom passed last year. I'm left with what they call "survivor's guilt" and I feel hopeless. I feel stuck in life, hung up with the feelings of regret and yet hoping hard enough everything gets better. this song encapsulates the extreme sadness and the hope of a better tomorrow I'm constantly feeling

[@shawnwarrynn8609]

And this is exactly, why I hate what RWBY has become. I too suffered from depression and extreme despair, believing that I was unworthy of life. When I discovered watched RWBY and I found my Faith and Hope returning and even up till Vol. 6 I saw this Show as being one of the best Animations out that can help others like me. But then Volume 7, 8 and 9 came. They ruined the characters I looked up to as role models and people who I wished I could be friends with, who in a sense help saved me from suicide. Roosterteeth and DC turned them into awful, unheroic, self-righteous, corrupt and unrecognisable from the resilient, righteous and truly heroic individuals I cared for, all just to fit a spiteful, hypocritical and hateful Leftist, Feminist, Misandric and WOKE Narrative!

This is unironically one of my favorite songs of all time. It's practically perfect in every way I can think of, has so many amazing lyrics, the slow part near the end always fucking DESTROYS me emotionally... and then the transition from the pits of hopelessness to finally being happy again is JUST. SO. GOOD. I will never not love this masterpiece...

[@beverlyarcher3744]

Only song I don't skip after a few episodes

[@chapito2001]

You know when I first heard the volume 4 intro I thought "huh this isn't​ that good, this might be Jeff's first song I don't really like" but after hearing the full song I love it, it's beautiful, a masterpiece. Is Jeff just incapable of making songs that aren't amazing or a bad song like WOW.

[@reneesalinas]

FelixRose Dude, same. And honestly, the same thing happened with volume 3s opening for me too. But after hearing the whole thing, it's like listening to a whole new song!

[@AwesomeIsawesomevids]

All these people saying that this song wasn't the best to them, and I'm just over here like, this is the first opening I liked the moment it started playing the first time. It's been my favorite since the first time I heard it and in my opinion is the most heartfelt, catchy, and altogether beautiful openings to be made for RWBY. Of course, this is also taking into account that Casey's voice was an acquired taste for me. I absolutely hated it at first, I didn't get why my datemate was so obsessed with her. But now here I am. just as obsessed if not more.

[@caitlincook7238]

[@riganman6959]

The first 4 openings have the RWBY kind of vibe that I notice. Hard to explain.

[@8elementallords]

Let's Just Live is pretty much tied with This Will Be the Day and The Triumph as my favorite openings. But just talking about this one, I loved this song as soon as I heard it, didn't even know it was one of the openings when I did either, it just really struck a cord with me and felt really uplifting and so instantly became one of my favorite RWBY songs.

[@layla.williams__]

What I've realized about this song is fhat after the memorial section to Monty - expressing how we should keep moving forward - the song goes into a quiet moment of observation and mourning. Because that moment where you reflect and mourn your loss is still incredibly vital... But soon enough, the guitar kicks back in (maybe where anger comes in at times) and the chorus comes back around again. It's an amazing representation of a healthy grieving process for me.

[@FlyntofRWBY]

[@ramus9555]

There's something special about RWBY. I can't quite pinpoint it. But the feeling comes back to me when I listen to the openings.

[@HomeslicedVideos]

This song literally brought me to tears, and perfectly explains how I felt about my favorite cousin, who committed suicide about 18 years ago, when I was just entering my teenage years. I was a lonely kid, an only child with no cousins or family close to my age, and it felt like he was the only person in the world who understood me. He was older, being a second cousin, and I always looked up to him. I think often about how different my life might have been if he had survived and made it through his crippling depression. He had so many people who loved and cared about him, but he just couldn't see past the darkness, and it consumed him. We have a relatively small close family, and I'm much younger than anyone else (there were no other kids born to my close family in my generation). The very first thing that went through all my family members' minds was "what is going to happen to HS (me)?" I've had a lot of dark thoughts and some low periods in my life where I was convinced nothing could ever bring me back, but I force myself to remember how I felt, and still feel, after my cousin passed away. It shattered my life at the time, and introduced me to a bitter reality that I wish I hadn't known at such a young age. I try to keep living even when I feel so isolated from reality and happiness, because I never want to put my family or friends through something like that again.

[@MrRemicas]

I think it's more a RNJR, or more specifically a Ruby and Jaune song than team RWBY, due to the male vocal back up. The lyrics are sad, and close to things Ruby said during the volume, but the melody is upbeat and full of energy like her. The male vocals only join during the first chorus, and grows in confidence during the second verse, mirroring how Jaune, Ren and Norra were inspired by Ruby into following her, and in Jaune's case repaying the favor when Ruby was starting to feel hopeless and doubting herself. On a meta level, of course the friend gone is Monty, but in the show it's Pyrrha (and the line some dream can't come true is a sad reminder of her song Dream Come True). Jaune and Ruby are the ones who seems to be the most affected by Pyrrha's death (since she watched her die and still has nightmares, and he keep watching again and again her video).

[@Wolfboss7]

Remicas My thoughts exactly. Unlike When It Falls which was fairly depressing and dark this song is acknowledging horrible things have happened, but stating you must keep moving onwards. In a way throughout Volume 4 every character had to do so in their own way.

[@MrRemicas]

When it Falls is basically Cinder singing her plan to Ruby and how she and her friends are screwed, so of course it would be dark and depressing^^ But yeah, here you have a more optimist message in pite of the bad stuff that happened

[@xodiac3070]

the friend is gone line was written for Pyrrah, Monty was alive when the song was written

[@sketchbookonline2040]

Remicas Thats exactly how I feel! Especially in the slow part, I imagine Ruby watching Jaune pratice with that video and starting to see herself as the reason why they were without hope in the first place. This song just feels like everything Ruby is as a character to me!

this song sums up Volume 4 perfectly. Everyone is trying get past everything they've been through (fall of Beacon, the multiple deaths of friends, Weiss' home life, Blake's regrets, Yang's lost arm). They're just trying their best to survive after so much tragedy while also moving forward in their personal lives (SPOILER: Weiss escapes "house arrest", Blake reconciles with parents, Yang tries out the new prosthetic arm, Ruby searches for answers with Ren, Jaune, and Nora). Also the bridge at 2:33 that was made of Monty made me pause so i could cry my eyes out for a second.

Every time I listen to this song I wonder how Jeff came up with that chord progression in the pre-chorus (1:52)... the interchange from major to IV minor then resolving down a fourth to the I major 7. I think it's likely one of those things you happen do by chance one day and then wonder what divine inspiration possessed you. Listening to that chord progression is one of the closest things to magic I've come across in my life. Never heard it in any other piece of music. 💜

While watching this past Volume I'll be honest, I hated this song as it just did not seem to stand up to the others. However, hearing the full version (better quality at that) has changed my mind and I feel that this is the second best intro song in the show (because can you really beat "This Will be the Day"?) In other words, it's F***ing amazing!

[@layerex3957]

The Iron Rhino My personal favorite is Time To Say Goodbye.

[@reneesalinas]

In terms of visuals, Volume 1's whole intro was the best IMO. But "Time to Say Goodbye" was my favorite opening simply because the song went so well with the animation.

This song..it's everything Ruby is as a character to me. I imagine her singing this as she's just running through the continent of Anima, trying to keep the spirits of Ren, Nora, and especially Jaune up. He said it himself in Vol. 4, Ep...11, I believe, "You gave us the courage to follow you". And during that sad part in the middle, I imagine Ruby explaining how her grief does get her down, even more so than the others perhaps in some ways (I'm not entirely sure on that), but she still holds there memories close, using them as the force that keeps her going. It's something she's probably used to, seeing as she lost her mother, Summer, at such a young age...and that ending just feels like the ending to Vol. 4, they made it! They're ever so closer to their happy ending and she's excited to see what will come, because she knows she'll always have her friends behind her, because they aren't just her friends or teammates or family...they're her life.

[@SlySuavity]

Hey guys. As someone who lost their father to a heart attack, let alone before December, I'm still finding my way again. Whilst we lived in separate families lately, I'm grateful to have enjoyed his company -- we retro gamed, shot pool, and shared drinks. Dad even wanted to take me seeing Vegas at some point... so one day I'll get there, for him. I've already deeply enjoyed this song of all the openings, but now it holds to me that much greater significance. Take care, and let's just live.

[@maximusthedude8305]

I heard a lot of my friends saying that they didn't like this theme song because it wasn't as hard rock, but honestly it's my favourite. It just mirrors so perfectly what is going on in the aftermath of volume three and it is a perfect set up for everything in season four. Well done RT.

This song from RWBY came surfacing back after the pandemic died down a bit, I needed this.

[@CatChaos369]

It's interesting I thought the song was referencing pyrah or penny being gone but I realised when I read another comment it's deeper than that it's also about monty saying goodbye and reminding everyone we must keep going and not let grief consume us and that is so heart breaking and beautiful at the same time this series and everything and everyone in it is a blessing!

[@magi-qrow4025]

I LOVE the latter half of the song. That third verse leading into that silence, which then builds back up the most amazing instrumental I've ever heard! This.. is my favorite track in all of rwby. (Followed by 'Its My Turn' in second, then 'All things Must Die' in third).

This is my life right now I am still growing up but sometimes my imagination gets the best of me and when things get bad for me I think every thing will go back to normal sometimes I see my family fight and when I lost my grandma and grandpa I cried every night thinking about them but I need to move on and look to the future I just need to make the most of it not matter what people say to drag me down but I learned that not everything goes my way, but I know that life is pain but being alive is more than that. Every time me and my mom dad and brother have a good time I say to my self " I need to just live" to a of you that think your not special you are and don't let anyone tell you your not you need to just live and enjoy and make the most of life as you can and move on not matter how you look or what you want to be, thank you grandpa and grandma for helping to go above and behond I will always love and Rember you in my heart and soul locked in the light of all of my body. And I'm not just saying this to get attention I am tell you this because a voice in my mind the sound of someone with a god authority and a peaceful heavenly voice but instead of that comeing from my mind it came from my heart.

Gonna be honest, I stopped watching RWBY after Volume 5. But I still go back and listen to the music. Even if I don't like how the story waa going, there still a lot about RWBY I like (going beyond the music as well). This song is just incredible.

[@velvetbutterfly]

May I ask what aspect of the story you didn't like? I think a fair few things are as strong as ever

[@joelxl635]

At least see the story through till the end!

[@darienb1127]

@@velvetbutterfly I feel like the tone shift is what hurt it a lot for me. the big Climax of Volume 3 was amazing, but after that the story just felt waaay to slow. It felt like they wanted to focus on it being darker without realizing what made RWBY special. It just felt like any other fantasy series after that. Another big thing for me was the fight scenes. I know they get better after volume 5, but it feels too homogenized. Like, everyone moves at a break neck speed, every gun feels the same. There's pretty much no foucs on anyone's fighting styles anymore. Also, The whole thing of Whiess not believing that Magic is real when this is a world with elemental dust and fucking superpowers has to be one of the dumbest thing I have ever seen in a story.

This is honestly my favourite OP of all time. The music is both kickass and inspiring. The visuals and animation are epic and every character relevant to Vol 4 is done justice. The lyrics are heartfelt and are genius with the double meanings to the show and Monty. It is a 10/10 opening.

Not gonna say the show is a "must-watch" if you just can't get into it, but practically the entirety of each soundtrack is immaculate imo when paired with the show. I do recommend staying clear of social media around it though; no matter what anyone else says, I'm convinced the worst part of the show is actually the "fanbase" and I hope to god you never have to find out what I mean by that lol

[@brendancappelli2611]

"It seems we weren't prepared, for a game that wasn't fair" Reminds me how unfair monty's death was. "Can we just go home" Home being comforting and happy, Rooster Teeth wanting to go back to when Monty was alive. "Can we follow through?" CRWBY wondering if they could live up to Monty's expectations for RWBY, to make it something people really, honestly love... This song screams Monty. Because it also encourages me to do my best in every way I can. And that's what Monty believed in. It's in the lyrics. Let's just live, day by day. Not be conquered by our sorrows. "Breaking free" I imagine means embracing creativity, and always "Keeping your eyes open". Fantastic song, great meaning behind it. Thank you Rooster Teeth, and mostly, thank you Monty.

This song has alot to do with my life right now except the part about a friend being gone. Right now, American Football is killing me because I don't really wnat to play the sport anymore but so many people have been there and have helped me through my time with the sport up until today, Oct. 8th 2017. I know that Track would be a much better choice for me but I feel massive amounts of agony and anxiety when I think about leaving the all the support I've gotten to get me to college. This song tells me that if leaving football is what I must do to not contemplate suicide, then its ok for me to leave. It makes me feel that the world won't end if I just walk away. It tells me that I shouldn't keep doing what is killing me because of my long past with the sport. Praise this song.

I was convinced to watch RWBY by a friend. Me and her have been watching 1 volume a day. Man this song hits so hard. The events at this point in the series and thinking about how it applies to my life as well. I am sad to hear of the creator Monty's passing. I know I am years late, but this goes to show how great his vision was if I am a new fan of the series now. I know some of the early animation was rough, but I love seeing how the team improved and I saw a massive improvement in the animation this volume. I honestly expected to not like the series, but now I am rather mad that I didn't watch it sooner.
