I love this song so much. Honestly, I love the entire SOUNDTRACK so much, but Hornet has always stuck out to me in particular as being an amazing, memorable, actually really fun song. So fun, in fact, that I'm working on writing dance coreography to it. I'm not a dancer. Or a coreographer. And I'm probably even spelling that wrong. Thank you, Christopher Larkin, for making this beautiful and amazing soundtrack, William Pellen and Ari Gibson and all of the others for making this beautiful and amazing game, and thank you, Amellifera, for allowing us all to hear the soundtrack on KZbin from our couches at home when we need a bit of Hollow Knight in our day. Also thank you to the person who originally uploaded the soundtrack, which unfortunately got taken down. My job here is done. Shaw.

[@Scorchedlnfern0]

[@Meta_1146]

I'd like to tell you something, the SHAW has a meaning in my language but it's written scio' which you pronounce the same way. It's an exclamation you say when you incitate something or somebody to go away, you say: "scio',scio' out of the house, kids" for example. I think that's very fitting as Hornet always wants you to go away everytime you fight her.

[@cheesybananaburger4681]

This soundtrack is interesting. It feels like a constant 3/4 time signature but it actually switches between 3/4 and 6/8. Credits go to Will Stout, he explains it very well and I don't have anything else to add to this: "You can hear this in the first two measures even. The first measure is distinctly in 6/8 (DUH-duh-duh-DUH-duh-duh), while the second measure in 3/4 (DUH-duh-DUH-duh-DUH-duh)" If you want to know more, please check out his first comment and the replies.
