all of these people who commented years before me. they were a part of a FANDOM, once bustling and full of life. Having just joined this fandom earlier this year, i did not realise just how popular this was in its time. the feeling can only be described as walking through an abandoned city. i can see everything that made people fall in love with this amazing webcomic. its music bringing people together, its characters cosplayed by fans for nearly a decade. Andrew Hussie has truly made something amazing. I just wish i had been there to see it happen. I joined far too late for anything before the epilogues. I will never understand the patient waiting of dedicated fans during the gigapause. i will never understand how homestuck fans crashed several websites to see [S] Cascade., some of the best flash animation in web comic history. I will never know how it feels to be surrounded by people at cons, crowds of people, painted grey and wearing shaped clay on their heads, who all share one common interest, this incredible webcomic. it saddens me to know that such an amazing creation could just be ignored so easily. there were years of my life where 4/13 went by and it never crossed my mind that this day may be important to hundreds of thousands of people, each sitting at a computer or tablet excitedly reading a new update, and celebrating the beginning of something truly incredible. i, regretably, was not even aware. of course i knew the name homestuck, but i never knew the true extent of this name. i never knew about the webcomic behind the name. I knew vriskas face, but i couldnt put a name to it. i just figured it was some dumb video game or anime. i was so quick to dismiss it that i never even thought to look further. i can now see the mistake i made. I followed through, and read the comic. i understand now why so many people adored this comic and its characters and its plot-twists-from-hell. I understand. if i had only been curious sooner, i could have gone on this journey alongside others. i could have had friends that read it with me. i could have cosplayed any character i wanted. but its too late.its all over, and i missed my chance. RIP HOMESTUCK

[@oileisia1687]

I actually found out about Homestuck as it was ending and I at least got to see the credits come out, then the game and then the epilogues. I, too, truly wish I had known about this wonderful webcomic earlier... :(

[@liamfidller4319]

Yeah I started reading in mid 2018. And I agree with what you said. Also why is this comment so far down?

[@oileisia1687]

Liam Fiddler Bruh I don't know

[@greensun0008]

Homestuck will never die, as long as there are still people willing to stay.

[@ashysky8021]

ah, i love this comment so much. me too. at least we can see homestuck two, but i'll admit it just doesn't feel the same. i have actually copied this comment it resonates so much with me :')

[@marywhiskey6782]

I can't help but laugh at the anthem. It's just an epic version of Elevatorstuck, which is a song I just can't take seriously.

[@hashtagNight]

The original is just called Homestuck or Homestuck anthem.

[@marywhiskey6782]

I see.

[@celestialghost4750]

+Mary Cal Actually, Elevatorstuck is the alternate version, the original track was Homestuck off of volume... 5?I think it was 5.

[@marywhiskey6782]

I heard Elevatorstuck before I heard the actual anthem

[@Fabletally]

This album has some of the only orchestral tracks I like :V Homestuck does and always will have the best music around ;v;

[@af3897]

4:22 and 15:07 literally are so wonderful

[@cellophane02]

Oh God... Overture! ;^; Thanks for playing Happy 4/13

[@sawyerloyd7727]

That serenade tho- it's played so well. ;u;

[@poeticcinema5857]

God I love Homestuck

[@af3897]

Fr fr

[@isahellepain5002]

ngl i cried a bit at the doctor part, rip buzinkai

[@vrisket771]

Its a totally different song at 2x holy shit

[@XboxProGamerFTW]

im betting that the first track will be used for [s]Rose: Play the Rain, whenever it happens. Its got the LOLAR theme and... the scourge sisters theme???Crystalanthemums

[@incarceratedGenetici]

+K Jones Well it has Even in Death

[@quinn4436]

+K Jones lol

[@nerdocalypse8090]

K Jones Oh how wrong you were.... oh how wrong...

[@iiruiiiion]

The first track was already used in Act 7, but it does seem like it would fit [S] Rose: Play the Rain very well.

[@Isabella-ch4vv]

It's coolish.

[@etoiledeclipse3340]

Oh my I only notice now that the violin (?) is actually Rose's house (with the waterfall and all) even the pines make think of Rose's house, and actually everything is linked to Rose... and I never noticed.

[@kala_asi]

And the album begins by referencing Endless Climb, the song that was first featured when Rose first entered her planet

[@heheheiamasuperstarwarrior9281]

WTF I JUST NOTICED TOO

[@liamwhite3522]

Symphony Impossible to Play is a quote taken from Rose's monologue on her natural [S]ound page, her equivalent of John's "The Note Desolation Plays" monologue

[@liamwhite3522]

That awkward moment that this is the last song of homestuck...

[@Skipioalanassi8]

+Liam White What better than an overture to great the coming of a new world?

[@liamfidller4319]

Indeed, also, hello fellow Liam and derse dreamer.

[@gressorialNanites]

Derse squad!

[@izd4]

derse gang rise up

[@gressorialNanites]

I'm sure you mean [S] Derse gang: Ascend.

[@Tini_Ballerini]

I fell in love with this album years ago. It evoked emotions that cried out for understanding, the feeling of an immense challenge spreading out before you, a land to conquer, a world to create. I thought, at the time, that it was the most fitting song for a game about escaping the end of one world and partaking in the creation of another. I came back to it again and again as Homestuck continued, vaguely disappointed that it hadn't made its appearance yet. Why hadn't we had an amazing flash showing Rose conquering her land, and learning to play the rain? It was worth the wait.

[@neverlander7783]

Kristina Zarrilli Damn ... That's DEEP

[@quickredf0x143]

I wish this was on Spotify

[@heheheiamasupahstarchimera631]

Act 7 is so much better now that the Epilogues played off of the somewhat unsatisfying parts of Homestuck's ending.

[@bugbear5794]

_i'm gonna cry_ _fuck im gonna cry_ _why wh yh y_

[@nienteleplaysthings3438]

*INTENSE HOMESTUCK SCREECH-SOBBING*

[@ZlatkoTheGod]

God the first half of Overture sounds so much like something straight out of Prince of Persia.

[@glitchednight]

Haha, nice to hear that someone else thinks so as well!

[@ZlatkoTheGod]

***** Incidentally somewhere around 2:30 it sounds a bit like Donkey Kong to me...

[@GaleGrim]

listened to it once? play it again at speed 2, sounds quite a bit different.

[@minecrafter6847]

Holy shit this just changed the game...

[@vrisket771]

It's an entirely different song oh my god

[@Redrover1760]

OH SHOOT HOW COULD WE HAVE MISSED THIS

[@nokov6517]

It really actually sounds quite good. Anthem and the Overture in my opinion are the best with the double speed.

[@Rlaosgonzalez]

You're a fucking genius. It sounds amazing Thanks :)

[@GannonMunro]

i thought the title was referring to the difficulty of the symphony... but it was about the game

[@lucyasthma6605]

we made it

[@Psyanide2995]

every time i have this playing in my second monitor i swear to god i see shaggy's head out of the corner of my eye

[@af3897]

Psi Ψ LMAOOO

[@spikelink2]

7 years later and I just noticed that the forest is growing in the violin's bow.

[@faith5485]

_guys this music is great_

[@apatheticdeity6030]

Faith homestuck has the best music

[@room___]

further proof that plazmataz is actually god.

[@mirasorastone]

Listening to this type of awesomeness made into sound makes me want to hurry up and take up musical composing classes just so I can learn how to make this same style of epic music!

[@Thorne-In-Your-Side]

So you mean... (sorry guys I like HS and UT) it fills you with DETERMINATION? Sorry... I had to...

[@calliecalamity8787]

Sadly, it’s impossible to play

[@captain_frost20]

overturn is amazing

[@captain_frost20]

just noticed i spelled it wrong. shit

[@beepsie]

God i wish this was on spotify, everytime i come here and see comments from years ago it makes me so nostalgic 😭

[@starxslicer]

[@guiltyvortex2571]

l o a d m e

[@corriereese3753]

Whoever made this... THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is amazing!

[@yesIisrandomzz]

At around 1:30 a sitar-like sound comes in and it's kind of the most amazing thing ever?? And all these hand drums = joy

[@HaganConnell]

I do love a good hand-drum.

[@ELee-ts4ld]

for some reson i felt the need to type that I felt bad for yoshi idk why I just did

[@quickredf0x143]

I wish this was on Spotify :(

[@ChloeOHwowie]

Homestuck my beloved ♥️ i will never forget the joy we shared in 2012, the endless listening to this album and the others, those were the days.

[@neosniper8940]

Is it actually impossible to play?

[@pinkins2217]

Yea, without crying.

[@avaloncrane877]

Serenade is beautiful :'3

[@VsevolodKhusid]

Well, at least we've heard it in Act 7.

[@amazinglydrawncowgaming6030]

wth this isnt imposible omg clickbait title much

[@amazinglydrawncowgaming6030]

i could platy this in my SLEEP if i learnt alot like really a lot id have to practise so much that id actually start believinh that this is impossible to play due the the fact that ive gone MAD also id be dead because my ears would bleed out and id die fromyer u r mum lol

[@cyntheticconjurer]

It's the album title. Also a quote from a fairly early Homestuck page. (www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002207)

[@xzodisanartistx7005]

2018?

[@nevisoschannel8983]

I already heard this song a year ago, but I found it again. So technically, yes.

[@ian-rr9to]

holy shit when i first heard this on autoplay, i seriously thought it was halo

[@misachan9708]

I like this.

[@loganwilson2752]

Beautiful. :3

[@londraa]

The first one is my favorite. It has that march sound and then the happy melody.

[@af3897]

First comment in 2021 😼

[@af3897]

2020? 🥺👉🏽👈🏽

[@saphirekit215]

On iTunes?

[@glitchednight]

I don't believe the tracks are on iTunes, just Bandcamp.

[@fandrus3271]

Saphire Kit This may be a bit late, but you can always buy the songs and then transfer them onto your iPhone from your computer! That's what I did and now I have around 60 songs and a Homestuck Ringtone :P
