Light of my Life - Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter Soundtrack

[@WilfrePancakes]

It's crazy how the DS could play this.

[@LoekTheKing]

Do you think it wouldn't be able to handle it? Wait, maybe you mean the DS is able to handle the emotions? SO INCREDIBLE! xD (DS's have got feelings too)

[@puppalsteam]

@@theillusionist1494 this whole game was so good I wish we could get a remaster Since the sequels/prequels we get every time aren't very good (the wii one and the switch one) They just don't capture the core of game imo

[@theillusionist1494]

@@puppalsteam I’m much more forgiving of the Switch one, since bringing the series back was always going to be a challenge and they did pretty well considering what they had to work with (also, of course, the music is still great). But yeah, I’d love to see a remaster of the original two games.

[@SylentVoidkeeper]

I couldn’t imagine explaining the context to my folks when I played this way back when. “You see, it’s a song about a woman who’s giving up her literal soul to her son after feeling great regret from having almost ruined her city because of a deal with Satan in an opera contest, but she’s stopped by God who tells her it’s not the right time to die”

[@DaniKH1]

It's Salem, not Satan. It's an alias for Wilfre, and the real deal he got, it was with Mari to keep Mike sleeping on the coma.

That moment when you realize this might be Mike's mother to him. That makes this whole "when you wake up, my darling (...) I know, I've got to go away" part much sadder.

i think the creator stopping rose from dying is mike in denial about his mothers death. think about it, and it could be that the credits song is mike coming to the realisation of what happened. heather and mike were asked about what happened that day, and they show what happened in detail in the credits. this is point where mike realises that his mother is dead. + the symbolism in the lyrics of real life

People tend to downplay the shit that goes on in this game. The main character loses his two closest companions who he continuously worries about and has nightmares about throughout the story, he loses his home, and he is later tricked and betrayed by another "friend" that he trusted. Another kid's mom spends days on the brink of dying, and she nearly forces him to accept her death. Later, two villages are revealed to be strict, tyrannical prison. Finally the end comes, and the villagers find that they have no choice but to continue on to the end of their world. In the end, they all disappear, and it turns out that their entire existence was the coma dream of a little boy who barely survived a car crash, and whose parents had died in that same crash. Damn

This one song always appeared when I thought of this game. Strangely, this song always hit me in the heart and I kinda know why. When the scene showed her father dying, that hit me hard. That part in the original game made me cry cause it was my first real game character death. Plus, the sorrow in her voice made me think if me and my mom were in that situation. Just thinking about that made me sorrowful and shed tears. Songs ,no matter where they come from, can affect your emotions substantially. Rose will always have a place in my best video game side character list.

[@OddMobileWatcher]

Undertale is the first game to make me cry. Then drawn to life the next chapter is the second game to make me cry. The vocals surprised me, then it surprised me even more when I started getting misty eyed and all. I feel like the games that'll make me emotional are going to get progressively more childish on the surface. Also the creator in this game is a douchebag. "Oh what a lovely heart reaching moment, well. FUCK ALL OF YOU! I don't want no death in mah domain!"

[@TrueGandOStudios]

It took you six years to finally pick up Drawn to Life The Next Chapter? Wow.

[@OddMobileWatcher]

G&OStudios I had it before, but I never really got into it. I thought it was one of those dumb down kids games at the time. I was right when we talk about difficultly, but story and music is great. I do wish the game was harder. Currently at that lava area. So who knows. I did kinda pollute the game by adding my own crude humor into some areas. Also I wish I had the first one. Though I do like how with the way they made the next chapter is so you don't need to know much about the previous game, since the hero him/herself doesn't remember.

[@OddMobileWatcher]

***** It was when I accidental killed Toriel for the first time. I think I also cried when I heard the song titled Undertale, but I don't remember that moment as much. Because Toriel was the closest thing to a real mother that I've ever seen. I had a very shit mother you should understand. It might sound crazy or dumb, but Toriel makes me feel like she's my mother, in dreams and such.

[@OddMobileWatcher]

***** Yeah, I think the game is good if you play it once, or twice (to get pacifist ending). But if it's been spoiled or you've played it fifty times then the game is just repetitive and boring. I only played the game because I saw a billion people making videos and I wanted to see why it had so many playthroughs. Beat pacifist ending with no spoilers, except for what furries and early undertale players called photoshop flowey. It's ironic the game has replay value as a tag on steam, when in reality playing it multiple times, or getting it spoiled makes the game awful.

[@cejk2044]

People, I chorded this. Take this with a grain of salt; I'm a music-obsessed child, not a professional. These chords are also based almost solely on the notes of the vocal line and not the accompaniment itself. The song is in C# major with main chord progression being a I V VI III. The "You know what I want..." section has a IV sprinkled in there and that comes back at the end. It's also obviously in 4/4 time. The vocal range of the song is an F3-C#5, just a step over an octave and a half. I prefer to sing it in F major, but I'm a soprano. Anyway, onto the actual chart. (FYI, I did not chord the intro; you're on your own there). [C# [G# My son, let my voice fill this room one more time [A#m Rehearse this line by line [Fm Until I'm out of time [C# [G# My son, can't you see that our troubles have run high? [A#m This is where we draw the line [Fm [F# This is where we say goodbye [C# Fm [F# You know what I want [C# G# And what I want, believe it or not, I've already got [C# [G# And I know I've got to go away [A#m [Fm But I know it's all going to be okay [C# [G# 'Cause I know we'll never be apart [A#m And all this is [C# G# Is a brand new start!
