Game Composer Can't Get Over How Good HOPES AND DREAMS Is - UNDERTALE

Heya, just wondering, are you ever going to analyse the fan Undertale tracks? There are a lot of great creations in this specific fandom. I have created some myself, although i dont really understand music theory It would be amazing to see you look at fan tracks

[@martinalbertomoraleslopez3786]

Now you must listen to a related song to this one: Save The World.

[@aleh9814]

Chiming in for RoR/RoR2 OST too, I'm fairly sure Davi will really enjoy it. EDIT: since everyone recommended some tracks, I might do that as well! Besides the ones already mentioned, I also recommend "...con lentitud poderosa"

[@Commander204]

Coalescence or Monsoon at least. Both tracks slap and help set the mood for each point of the game.

[@oliconbob3179]

Yes! The RoR games have such good soundtracks. The Might As Well Be Dead, and Once in a Lullaby from the Survivors of the Void DLC are my favorites.

[@orioncoats]

The blending of asgore's theme and the toriel's theme for their [spoilers] is such a cool idea I never thought of. This ending is a reward. And your first time hearing this song in game is a huge moment for everyone, not just the main character.

[@ravimediatube]

also its just that asgore and toriels name mix to make asriel

[@mt2r-music]

There’s also floweys theme in there which again makes sense in the context of the story.

[@jademoonphoenix]

And you got Snowdin in there, which reminds the player of Sans and Papyrus! All that's missing is Undyne and Alphys' themes.

[@tpfoxCastro]

Hopes and dreams has basically a small part of each theme in the game inside it so it can mix if all together to give us an absolute art piece and a sense of nostalgia

[@dr.JackieBright]

For me, it just serves to hinder me during the fight, because I constantly have tears in my eyes every time I even hear the song, let alone play through it.

[@ted4979]

Correct me if I’m mistaken, but the happy melody mentioned at 8:00 is Your Best Friend, which is Flowey’s theme. So even though the tone is overtly positive it has that underlying sense of tension and apprehension. Which is pretty fitting imo.

[@realtbhandrew]

Yeah, flowey's theme.

[@stuffycat1857]

Yeah, Flowey's leitmotif is present in that part of the song likely to reference that Asriel is Flowey, which is ironic because in finale there is a his theme leitmotif.

[@gjk-arts5855]

Not to mention, all your friends you met along the way, all their hearts beating as one!! :DD

[@ocean037]

[Spoilers] It's the hopes and dreams of everyone, literally everyone. I mean, it plays when you are trying to rescue all the monsters from inside Asriel after Flowey absorbed them all. You're supposed to use everyone's hopes and dreams to "save the world". Also that's why snowdin's theme is in there too, the song that represents all the monsters that are trying to have a nice life despite being trapped underground. It's more than just the king, the queen and their son, way more than that.

[@TheOkamiProductions]

@@ocean037 I actually missed snowdins theme being in it, never directly noticed cause I don't really remember snowdins theme. But yes I know its everyones combined hopes and dreams, but asgore, and tori were the more prominent figures in /his/ life. I was going off of that. Thanks for pointing snowdin out though!

Without going into spoiler territory, your describing this tune as a "reward" is a very great description. I remember when I first heard it, it was the same "day" the game launched.

i just binge watched a bunch of these undertale videos youve done and i love how every time you have a big reaction to something in the music you go into detail about what exactly it was in the music that sounded cool - it makes watching these videos different from generic reaction videos because i get to learn so much about the musical construction that goes into creating the emotional effect of these songs

You would have to finish the neutral route, then you can beat omega flowey, reload the game, and finish the True Pacifist Route.

Or play it two times.

[@MrJJandJim]

Same. All I knew was there was 3 main endings, so I did my best to do True Pacifist. I also knew a little about Asgore, Omega Flowey, and Sans back then. But, I didn't know how they were connected. I did correctly assume Sans was the Genocide Route, but I was guessing about the others. I did screw up Toriel's fight, so I redid that, to then get called out for it! I was like, "Ayo, wtf?!" But I somehow managed to not screw up the rest of the way. I died several times to Undyne before I remembered I could Run, lol. I was also playing parallel to Jacksepticeye's playthrough, only watching each section after I played it first to not spoil anything. But man, that True Ending hit hard, especially when I walked all the way back to the very start. That's what made me tear up most.

[@turtlefalcon5546]

The best part of this soundtrack is when the beat drop happens in this song and it effects the game. It’s so cool.

[@lordgenerias]

This song is a rollercoaster of emotion for me. When it started for my playthrough, it had me going from one emotion to another all throughout. It's very powerful, and possibly the most important song in the entire game, even more important than the annoying dog theme and the Wrong Number Song. And there's a very good reason you're getting hints of Asgore's theme to it. I won't say why, but when you realize, it'll hit you in a way that'll only make sense if you're really paying attention, but it will make *perfect* sense. The title may be "Hopes And Dreams", but this is a song that builds up, and is built *from,* pure DETERMINATION.

[@ItsImagineThis]

7:53 I almost flipped a table when you didn’t mention Flowey’s theme (This is a joke don’t worry) I never heard the asgore connection before!!!! That’s actually really cool! 10:03 So yeah this is Snowdin’s theme. So, fun fact, according to the wiki, the Snowdin theme is actually split into to parts. Hopes, and Dreams! One leitmotif is used for like- Snowy, and the themes when you’re not in the town, and the other is used for Snowdin Town. I still don’t know why exactly Snowdin is involved still, and why the themes are called Hopes and Dreams. Maybe it was the most hopeful place? I dunno

[@marcussherlock6318]

The Snowdin motif has been used in several tracks, including some in Deltarune. Based on its appearances, to me it is the anthem of the monsters, the theme of them getting to live their lives.

[@supersayainasriel6745]

4:20 when you're trying to figure out the light motif your pizzling out is called "His Theme" it's Asriel's other theme and appears overtly twice in the run, once in a music box in waterfall which is used for a puzzle and again in waterfall in a flashback, both times it's a music box rendetition. I believe it may be a light notif in home, fallen down, and new home as all 3 tracks are related to Asriel in some way, and it most prevalent in undertale as that song plays during a retelling of his story

Thing about this theme, is that it represents, I think, the hopes and dreams of Frisk to save Asriel and the Underground. As for Asgore and Toriel references, well, Asriel is an amalgamation of both their names, so their themes likely will have some relation to this.

[@BobzBlue]

[@gabrote42]

5:18 It's generally held to represent the main backstory segment of the Family, and by extension the Human-Monster war and the Tragedy (you'll see it more before you reach The Last Corridor, if you haven't already). It also represents the one character in that process that lacks another stand-alone theme. 5:24 That's not quite the case. The leitmotif that represents the collective willpower of the Monsters to hold on to hope and defy oblivion is "An Ending". You haven't heard it yet, but you will. This one is more about bonds, as you will see with the Friendship elitmotif later on (Snowdin Town) 6:39 Great observation! I didn't notice snd Toby didn't mention it. 6:55 This one is actually the Tutorial Song. You don't recognize it because you haven't played through the end of Neutral yet. 10:51 This leitmotif is tagged as the Friendship Theme. Make of that what you will 11:18 Oh so you DO know about the Tragedy of the Prince and the Human! And you should have recognized the Flowey theme in Your Best Nightmare XD

Wow, I'm always amazed at your analyzing skills. You picked up so many things. I didn't even realize Snowdin was in there and I heard it a bajillion times.

I have INSANE nostalgia for Undertale! Anyone who played through it blind, played through both genocide and pacifist, discovered all the secrets, watched countless lore videos and theories and so on, will understand this nostalgia. Undertale is a masterpiece and deserves all the attention it has received

The Undertale melody plays everywhere, this music is a combination of all.

Ah cant wait to see your reactions. This is such a great song

The opening holds a special nostalgia in my heart

I don't know if you noticed, but at 6:13 (1:18 in song) a small leitmotif starts playing. It's "Your Best Friend" or Flowey's theme. Same also plays at 7:53 (1:29 song), another Flowey leitmotif

I have to recommend the Tears of the Kingdom theme music! It goes so hard and if you're able to predict the plot from it before the game even releases would be the biggest bragging rights.

This is my favorite score in the entire game. It's high action AND high emotion. It truly feels like it marks the endgame of a battle for hope, like Battle Against a True Hero but more magical and fantastical. It also personally feels really nostalgic, and not just because I heard it years ago when I was a kid, as it had this emotionally nostalgic quality even back when I first heard it.

The Snowdin motif you found also plays in the date with Papyrus, as well as in the shop themes. Its use in this song could be referencing those moreso than Snowdin's theme Fun fact: Toby Fox "stole" the motif from the stage 7 theme of Kirby's Block Ball.

Man, watching you go crazy with the simply awesome and awesomely simple structure of Hopes and Dreams brought back so many good memories of that track... and the particular part of the game where it plays. Not going to even hint at where because, like "Your Best Nightmare" (Photoshop Flowey's theme, aka, the final boss of the Neutral Route), you need to experience it properly in the game. Blind. Also, "Hopes and Dreams" has a companion piece that... technically... starts immediately after the fade out. I was going to suggest you did that one after this one, but again: it's better if you listen to it when you reach that point of the True Pacifist Route. Just remember: True Pacifist is not just about not killing a single creature, but also about... getting to know them. So, if you can interact with them outside of battle, perhaps you should take your time to go out of your way and hang out with these colorful characters. Who knows? Maybe, aside from getting to know better celebrities like say, Papyrus, Undyne or Dr. Alphys, you may even end up stumbling into unexpected places and find out more about what lurks beneath the surface... of the underworld (if that makes sense to you). Anyway, happy gaming, and happy music. You did two iconic pieces in a row, and I could not be happier by your amazing reactions.
