And the spine chilling goosebumps that the song makes you feel because its not only very well conscripted but played along the context of the show, you can't forget

[@noobkiddo6522]

Ray Chen is the mad man with the strings... The chords, the vocals everything really fit the scene. I'm glad they saved the best for the last

[@almero8461]

He appears on épisode 5 on the concert performance.

[@Bludreamgirl]

@@almero8461 I love that they used his likeness so much! They also have a handful of league players likenesses in the last drop in the scene where Vander says "Don't mess with the man that pours the drinks"

[@lwitte8857]

So happy Ray Chen was given proper credit on this song! He is the violinist throughout this piece and deserves every bit of praise he receives for this song. His skill as a violinist and overall musicality is jawdropping.

[@johnnyAFIRE]

I'm late, but I really liked when Sting was singing this live, and when the audience began to applaud everyone involved with the performance, Sting bowed, and then immediately presented Ray and was basically gesturing the audience to applaud him more. Real recognizes real

[@MKhurramAziz]

The producer (well one of them, Mako) for this song actually did a livestream going over the entire composition process and played a bunch of the pre-production versions and showed the progressions of this composition. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXXImH6En5tlY9k

[@Adonna2424]

I was just going to comment this. REALLY adds to the appreciation of the song and adapting around the cinematic drama. Highly recommend!

[@MartHommes]

I still can't believe Mako is one of the producers. Knew them (when they were still a duo) from way back when they released Beam. Very proud of what Mako has been able to achieve

[@lockekappa500]

You can really feel the love poured into this song from that livestream. This is what art looks like when the people making it truly believe in it.

[@Bludreamgirl]

lol i cant stop watching this now

[@zanyquack]

This is super cool to watch. Thanks for sharing!

[@sandmaster2593]

The mad man who composed this song and many others from Arcane (and LoL) is Alex Seaver, also known as Mako... kudos to him for making this amazing soundtrack

[@strider2175]

He actually has his own YT channel (wearemako), and has a couple of videos about the soundtrack and how some of the songs were written!

Not fully right one of the lead composers and the one who had controll over the orchestra and helped him a lot in making " What could have been " was Alex Temple. A true genius in his work.

The final song “What could’ve been” Is brutal but so beautiful the lyrics fit so well with the ending and they had Sting sing it. Always gives me chills

[@lucilavi137]

Your editor needs a shoutout, man! You are my go-to reactions everytime and it's so funny because you have it all! The personality, the knowledge and the hype! ALSO, your editor always nail making simple moments really funny. Will always support you, Nato. Even if you forgot my shoutout! LOL

i just thought about that shoutout today believe it or not : /

[@Miku-yu5iu]

that song plays in such an emotional scene too , its really a song that sticks in your mind for a bit after watching the finale

[@hemagionaltovao5291]

You could dig into "warsongs": it's a riot created playlist of artist remixes of 'old' league music (old by 2016 standards) maybe something to stream rather than record, but it's rarely reviewed and quite the spectrum. Same goes for DJ Sona (kinetic, concussive, ethereal)

[@Adonna2424]

Crystal Method doing Dj Sona is amazing!!

[@hemagionaltovao5291]

@@Adonna2424 my favourite is still concussive only because my brother and I would play DJ Sona and Project Jihn in bot lane.

I for sure am for a review of DJ Sona songs!!! I've loved those songs for so long

[@sophiemei6412]

I didn't see anyone comment this yet but Ray Chen is also the BRILLIANT violinst behind the crazy amazing strings that were in "Awaken" with Valeric Brousard. He is beyond amazing. I also loved your breakdown of that song too!

[@keyronkathrynekathrynkeyron]

He is the irl jhin 🥰🥰🥰

[@Jay-yp6ft]

@@keyronkathrynekathrynkeyron so a serial killer?

[@rocketqueen9887]

Also he plays the violin solo part in Arcane when they’re watching someone perform on stage

[@Dilligff]

Every aspect of Arcane speaks to the story, including the music. The violin always represented Jinx's emotional state. Throughout it was mostly somber and/or discordant. In What Could Have Been it starts out the same way, then becomes like an inner conversation she's having between her thoughts (voice) and emotions (violin). You hear the violin build in the beginning as she works up her resolve to pull the trigger and then we get a flourish that is clean, strong, and confident like she's finally embraced who she is.

[@AvantelWulf]

I’ve always thought of it as the first verse is her talking to Vi, and the second to Silco

[@silverdragonoid]

I feel like the violin is reacting/responding to what is sung. It's always either a desperate, painful outcry or an emotional outburst with lots of screaming and shouting when you pay attention to WHEN it happens

[@inek7285]

If you want one more reaction out of this, check out the live performance from the game awards last year. Watching Ray Chen go nuts on the violin solo was something else to see

[@strider2175]

[@thomasle2700]

[@carlsong6438]

Hehard fucks up one of the lines tho. He said he didnt practice enough with the in ears

[@RoseDotWav]

While “Snakes” will always be my favorite because of how awesome it sounds + the epic fight scene it played in- this track will always be a close second because of how much pure emotion was put into it to match the tone of the scene it plays in. It’s insane how much weight music truly holds.

[@knightmare6331]

"When is the next season? 7 more years? Yeah, I thought so" I felt so empty hearing him say that. But if that's what it takes to for the next season to hit the same, I'm gonna wait no matter what.

[@musabo9893]

Wasn’t it announced for like in only 2 years

[@MisterPlague]

@@musabo9893 nah, they only said It would be less Time for the second season, so not 6 years, probably 5, but I could be wrong and It could come out next year

[@nuclearfish8345]

@@MisterPlague It's probably gonna be late 2023 - 2024

[@awesomecow7264]

Yes., the idea of Arcane was made 6 years ago but the animation and plot was made at most 4 years ago with 2 or 3 years of animation and composing of music. Most of the time it was ideas being thrown around for higher up approval because a series/movie was still a big project as well as the idea of a garden and Katarina movie was in concept and even a story mode was made but then scraped. So since the animation techniques and the plot more defined and already made. The show would be at most 2 year wait or maybe 3 so 2023 we might see it

[@Ghost_R4cc00n]

Such a powerful song that brings me to tears 😭 as it hit home and crazy that it still hurts

Always loved seeing you do these. It's sad that this is the last one, but was looking forward to this one, NOT DISAPPOINTED! Looking forward to season 2! Let's hope that this one doesn't take 6 years to make like season 1. Even if it does I'm sure it'll be perfect. Ray Chen is SUCH an amazing violinist and it's so amazing that they used his likeness in the show when zander starts to flip into humanitarian to politician. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! ♡♡♡♡♡

[@belivuk2526]

They actually can't afford a 6yrs time frame for s2. 1-2 years top if they want to ride the wave. The thing is, they could take 6yrs for a completely new story but not a continuation. Not only that, s1 was working from scratch but s2 isn't and I bet they've put more money and people into into it now cause they have confirmed it works and s1 brought them a lot of money. Well, granted Netflix holds. Still, it feels like to long of a wait cause the show was damn good

[@unknown_individual7050]

Since they had already started working on s2 when they released s1 they are projecting to release early to mid 2023

You could have a look at the This is war series from Falconshield. Its a really well produced rap battle style series of Videos of the different LoL Champions spitting bars. They are honestly criminally underwatched by all the new people coming in from Arcane. And since you have a background in rap it would be a pretty good fit for your channel.

[@matthburdett]

Every time I see your CT hat I think of work, as CT stands for Cycle Threshold, basically how many cycles it takes for DNA/RNA to duplicate before crossing the threshold in PCR (polymerase chain reaction).
