MUSICIAN REACTS TO Voices - Derivakat [Project: BLADE | Chorus of 70] [Dream SMP original song]

[@Derivakat]

Hi!! Sorry I'm so late but thank you for reacting to our song !!! Yes the project file is MASSIVE and I can't even store it on my computer (it lives on an external hard drive now). Organizing the project was actually pretty straightforward, as I've done this type of guide vocal/mass chorus thing before, but never to this scale (shoutout Yuki and Kiba for helping me wrangle everyone). I had to make a whole spreadsheet with the lyrics and sort who is singing where. We're so proud of this song and I can't express how much it means to me personally that we can celebrate Techno's life and the joy he brought to people through our song. The Blade will never die !!

[@user_murrow2005]

omg it's derivakat!! I love your songs!!

You speak only facts, derivakat. Technoblade is one of a kind, the legend, the one who made the darkest day shed some light. ❤❤❤

A really cool thing for you to note, David. The "Voices" is what Techno referred to us, his viewers, as. A large group were always in the chat egging him on to betray his friends, cause chaos, breed war. The eyes are a part of the motif about it all. In the end, Techno's streams were all about a character who had the voices of a thousand blood thirsty beings in his head (Blood! For the Blood God!). He really embraced that, y'know. He loved it.

[@Error_o7]

The "He Loved it." At the end just made cry

For those who don't know who technoblade is, he's (obviously) a minecraft youtuber, and is often considered the best minecraft player flat-out. Beat dream in a 1v1, became number one potato farmer on skyblock because he just felt like it, shit like thst. But yeah, he died a few months ago from a rarer type of cancer, leaving a lot of people heartbroken. Also, one of his main nicknames is the Blood God-- whenever he got in a fight on stream (in minecraft), his chat becomes flooded with viewers writing BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD.

[@kinremnant4616]

Voices in his head were his way of talking about his chat room/ viewers.

[@thebush6379]

He's also a person with tons of words to live by quotes hidden within his jokes

[@themustardman219]

Blood for the blood god also originally being a reference to Khorne from Warhammer 40k. Blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull thrones

[@galaxywatcher1011]

This song for me will always be the embodiment of actually being in Technoblade's live chat, it would always have high energy especially when he was in a (video game) fight. His chat constantly spammed, so the repeating lines (especially "one of us" and "blood"/"blood for the blood god") are way too accurate. Will forever love this song

[@theanathema3062]

To bad they forgot the chat telling him that he missed diamonds, or netherite, or tridents, of gold, or water, or any other thing in the game, that was in the chat a lot lol

[@SpeedyCheetahCub]

Even in that last chorus when they had the descant it sounded like they were singing "E" in the background, just like how chat spams "E" a lot!

[@rufavulpes]

Don't forget the constant screeching of 'E' x3.

[@Clownish.mp4]

@@SpeedyCheetahCubOMG WAIT I DIDNT NOTICE THAT

[@TangledMind1018]

I freaking love this song. The insanity that went into organizing it, and the devotion of fans to Technoblade is heartwarming. You'll notice too that there are a fair number of Technoblade songs that he has commented on. He was very loyal in return to his fans, and was kind enough to comment even just a "Yooooo!" on these custom songs made for him. Just a great guy in general. Rest In Peace Technoblade. You never lost, you simply took the cancer down with you.

[@The_BlOb]

he used to like every single piece of fanart made of him as well 😔

[@S1mple_Infinity]

So essentially in the Dsmp, chat (us) manifests in different versions. For Philza, it's the crows that bring him shinnies (donations) and who have been unofficially adopted by him. For Technoblade, it's the voices in his head always edging him on. A lot of the time when Techno streamed he would get a lot of viewers (200k+ at least) and most of us would just spam in his chat sentences like "one of us" if he rings the bell (that's your cue to become a channel member) or "blood for the blood god" because to us, Techno is our blood god and we demand that he k1ll (in video games ofc). There would also be letters like "L" or "E" that would get spammed depending on the situation. My point is that this song is Techno fan's anthem.

[@SpeedyCheetahCub]

Also, Ranboo's chat is the ender particles that float around him, and there's more that I can't remember at the moment. But the chats that have representation are actually canon, so if chat tells Techno, Philza, or Ranboo something, then their character can actually know it.

[@t04st3d_cr4mb]

I and a bunch of his fans cried when we found out he had passed. Technoblade was such a big and positive influence to all of us. He made us laugh, smile, all the good things one could feel, even when he was going through a tough time. And yet he was still his usual grateful and cheerful self when we all found out he had cancer, and even before he died. Technoblade, we wish you a fair and well deserved rest. Thank you, Alex "Technoblade".... o7

[@brianna3785]

Man… when I found out I sobbed for the first time in years. I felt empty for days.

i found out late at night and couldnt sleep because i was crying so much. we all love and miss him

[@brianna3785]

@@Bseaz I found out on the last day of a church camp. I just finished packing my stuff for the morning.. it was maybe midnight.. A rude girl came into the room laughing saying that techno died. I told her not to joke bc I was a huge fan. I had to watch the video on someone else’s phone bc I didn’t have service. We would leave at 5 to head home… after sobbing for 4 and a half hours.. I fell asleep for half a hour before waking up to board the bus. Spent 16 hours of the bus ride home in a daze.

[@mikaelacash3791]

Technoblade was and still is such a legend who will never be forgotten. I cried so much when I heard he had passed away, and for a long time, this was the only content relating to Technoblade that I could watch/listen to because it was a reminder of how amazing he was and how much he impacted the Minecraft community in such a way that over 70 people could come together just to make a song for him. A project like this has never been done for any other Minecraft youtuber, so that really says something about him. Fly high King 👑🐷 You'll never be forgotten 🙏

[@thebush6379]

For me I've been watching Sad-Ist's "Technoblade" video. And then rewatching his videos. I realised just how many inspiring quotes he says. Always being hidden in his bits.his life was cut short. But he really made the very best out of his life.

[@mikaelacash3791]

@@thebush6379 He really did. And he helped so many other Minecraft youtubers, too. And I wanted to cry even more when he said in his final letter on the "So Long, Nerds" video that he had made enough money from KZbin and merch to send his siblings to college if they wanted to go! Such an incredible guy! He is probably the only Minecraft youtuber I've never been able to find any sort of fault with. He was a genuinely good young man.

[@Narutosonicrule1245]

Technoblade has two very well known catchphrases "Technoblade never dies" and "Blood for the Blood God" so we had taken to calling him The Blood God. We are the "voices", his chat. Whenever someone joined "One of us" was the chant. He honestly will never die, not in our hearts. It still really hurts that he's gone. Even so, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, now and forever. Another great song to honor him by would be Injustice from CG5, but I don't know if you want to do another so close to this one so another Minecraft song you definitely should listen to is Otherside, it's great like Pigstep I'm gonna once again ask for you to check out some of the Final Fantasy XIV music cause that game knocks it out of the park with the music, the best ones I think are Close In The Distance, Civilization, Tomorrow and Tomorrow, and Dragonsong at least for the ones to start with! You can take your pick of which one first

[@namenotfound2456]

"blood for the blood god" is in itself a reference to a battlecry from a character in 40k

If you like this you might like Woe to the People of Order. It's another Technoblade song but its a radical shift from this. There are alot of covers out there but i really like Cami-cats version since there are added instrument's at the trade-off that it's slower in pace than the original but only by slightly.

The voices say to listen to this. Day 88: If there is a song that you must listen to, along with the accompanying animation, it has to be We are the Souls by ThePruld. If there is a song that can encompass an entire community it is that song.

[@rebekahtink4996]

Oh yes i agree! Love Blue Moon

[@EvilDeath66X]

Thank you so much for reacting to this. I never thought about the sheer amount of coordination that would go into so many voices in one track, but in hindsight it almost seems like something impossible to overlook. Additionally, I knew Technoblade had a huge impact in the Minecraft community, but I had no idea his reach extended to far. His content legitimately made things brighter for myself and I think a good majority of the people who consumed his content, and he will forever be missed. He's also just super cracked at the video game. xD Blood for the Blood God!

[@jesuschristbutafab9923]

When i first heard abt Techno passing, i straight sobbed for nearly a week. I can barely watch anything with him in it anymore, but watching this makes me feel a little better

[@Hannah-ly9fo]

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! Loved hearing your opinion of this song, you gave me more insight into it. I never really considered the logistical nightmare that making it would be! Thanks for the video!

[@astellis11]

Techno made us all feel apart of something bigger, and Derivakat really showed that with this song and the chorus of 70. Blood for the blood god!

[@butterflywarrioredits]

The voices is talking about Technoblade’s chat in his live streams. Since he was so well known for being really good at player vs player combat in Minecraft, his chat started calling him The Blood God. Whenever he was involved in events in Minecraft like the dream smp or Minecraft Monday or even Minecraft championships, everyone in his chat started yelling “Blood For The Blood God!” and his most famous quote is “Not even close baby! Technoblade Never Dies!” because no matter how many battles he was in, no matter how close to death he was, he never died. But sadly on July 30th this year on his KZbin channel a video titled So Long Nerds was uploaded, and his father was in the video saying Techno had died of stage 4 cancer. That day the world went silent, because he had inspired and touched so many people when he was alive. His dad said that Techno said if he had a chance to do it all again, he’d continue to be TechnoBlade, because he loved making all of us happy and that made him happy. I know it’s been a few months now but I still feel a hole in my heart from this tremendous loss. And while Techno is not physically here anymore, he will always be alive in our hearts. Technoblade truly never dies. Fly high king. And frick cancer.

[@MizzFishYT]

Hey! Love the video! Glad you enjoyed this, I was a part of this project! (Name is on the bottom left corner ;)) Yeah, derivakat didn't go through 70 vocal tracks.... She had 70 PEOPLE record THREE PARTS (so she had to go through roughly 210, not including the spoken parts during the instrumental parts (which was an audition kinda thing to see who got it) and beedle0's beautiful high notes in the ending chorus)! Everyone did a high harmony, main melody, and low harmony track and then she picked out who would sing in which part of the song. It was an absolute BEAST of a project and I met so many wonderful people because of this. :') But from a production standpoint, it was one of the most organized things I've ever been a part of and many props to Yuki and Kiba for keeping all 70 of us on track in the discord server lol

[@shrimpybraincell8805]

Technoblade will always have a place in the community. Sure he was chaotic as hell, but he was also kind, and always tried to make light of any situation. As he said in his final note to us, the viewers, he's gone to fight god. Mans was always positive til the end. The Blade will Never Die. Anyway thanks for reacting to this, it really meant a lot to us, for those who are still greiving and those who were close to him, too. Have a good day

[@rosi3767]

Being someone who got to chant “blood for the blood god” and “one of us” in techno’s live chat, I wanna say, I wish I didn’t take those moments for granted and I miss them so much. Technoblade was an amazing person and we will miss him everyday. Texhnoblade never dies!!! Not to us

[@VEX1NS]

Hey i was in this song! you can see me to the left of technos hair at 4:00 :DD this is a pretty old song but it was nice listening to it again, i almost forgot it existed lol you have a very nice singing voice btw!!!

[@Eternalxyn]

GAHHHH I WASN'T EXPECTING YOU TO EVER LISTEN TO THIS GOD DAMN (HI!! I'm a voice in the song! You can find my name on the right of Techno's head! hehe) We worked on this song for a solid 3 weeks, it was such a speed production that was so worth it in the end. For some questions- The "Blood for the Blood god" line mentioned is something that Techno commonly said in his streams on the Dream SMP. It was such an iconic line we had to put it in. Same with the Chinese spoken! Its a reference to Sun Tzu's "Art of War" which Techno referenced in his every once in awhile videos and was another iconic piece of his community and personality. At 3:18 you mention the files ;D; There were actually about 78 people accepted for this recording but only 70 of us (including Kat herself) ended up submitting our voice files. We got to record as much of the song as we wanted to and she took the parts she liked from us and mixed them together, sectioning us off into groups. Kat would have us watch her put it together and she would even be auto tuning most of us. So much work :'D The file was *very big* it looked so daunting with how many lines I saw- And a fun little fact- That bit at the end is not actually all of us singing together. It would've been too much audio-wise- things clashing together. But we thought it would *look* nice visually if all the names at the end lit up. Another fun fact was that a long low bass note was created with just "E" (A live stream chat spam bit ) from one of our vocalists who did it as a joke, but Kat ended up taking it and incorporating it into the song. I can't point out where it is but *it's there*

[@coinbash626]

Besides the editing. The fact that 70 people's voices together sound sooooo good! They all had to be perfect

[@Animefireblade13]

I still want you to react to either “error” covered by jubyphonic or “count” by Courtney Parker. Both are beautiful songs and the second one REALLY doesn’t get much attention.

[@reillyclements1673]

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!!!!!

[@irishuisman1450]

I swear, Dream SMP songs are just on another level. If you want to do another song featuring a harmony between a lot of people, might I suggest Never Meant to Be, uploaded on Precious Jewel Amor's channel? It's a very different feel than Voices, but the harmony is just as amazing, even with very minimal instruments!

[@Flooflepuff]

Great video as always!! For another DSMP related song with a bunch of people, I’d recommend Vantage (a song with over 200 people!) by Halfy Draws and Winks! :D

[@pacificpainter7232]

I miss him so much. He was an amazing creator on KZbin honestly a one of a kind type of person that shouldn't have been taken so early. Anytime especially during the worst of 2020 when I was at my lowest and struggling with adapting to the newly placed covid laws I ran to his videos to get a good laugh and escape for awhile. Was absolutely crushed when I saw that video titled "so long nerds" because knowing that techno was suffering from cancer at the time I knew there was only one reason why techno would say goodbye so early when he still had so much to do. He seemed like the type to laugh at his crying fans so long.

[@UrsulaIncorporated]

The thing about this song is that it is the embodiment of Techno’s chat and what it felt like to be around him. You ask me to describe being a Techno fan and what it was like, I would show you thing song and his merch he put out after his death. This song is what it’s like to be a Technoblade fan. It’s what it means to be a Voice in his head. There isn’t another group I’ve been apart of where they had this sort of engagement. I’ve never seen another piece, song or otherwise, that captured what it meant to be a fan of it so perfectly.
