Chrissy Costanza is the singer on this one! She's also the singer that sang the League of Legends Worlds song ; Phoenix!! Her performance in Give it All is just, on point!

[@LiQuiEx]

She's also the frontwoman for the band Against The Current

[@Celis.C]

MarcoMeatball did an interview with her that's very fun to watch.

[@SainaXIV]

As soon as I heard it I told my friends "That sounds like ATC" And then they announced it was actually Chrissy and I lost my shit LOL

[@ComfyLynx]

You coul say she really "Gave it her all"^^

[@kelalen8811]

@@LiQuiEx Against The Current's lead singer in a fight against a lightning user. It's completely coincidental but I still love how that lines up.

[@Gortash]

It always amazes me how you can play the song just by listening to a few seconds of it

[@nekrovx]

Years of playing scales helps with that, I can do it as well just not as fast as he can. It's really impressive

[@toriestrella]

it's experience know your chords, know your notes, know your fretboard, and have a sense for typical progressions and riff timing in-genre there are contexts in which you need to be able to literally do that within seconds or less - session bass playing can be exactly that a good amount of the time (which is why they say that the best innate skill a bassist can have is a quick ear), same with improvising a solo on any instrument example: whenever I improvise a bassline or a vocal melody line, I think of where in the existing frequency ranges I can actually fill in. Then I get a sense of possible progressions from any point, any motifs I can use, and from that point it's filling in the connective tissue between those progressions. Chromatic approach, jumping around different octaves, slides, ghost notes, throwing in parts of different modes/scales, cheekily memeing with short riffs from other songs - world's your oyster, really.

[@Lanewreck]

If you ever learn piano or any classical instrument and sheet music, you can figure out almost any note or chord on almost any other instrument by ear. Scales become second nature by time and exposure. I haven't played music in a few years and still "feel" the motions when I hear melodies.

[@crimsonpotemkin]

there are only 2 ways to achieve it. Either God given talent or full dedication. There are some insane people that can just do it, but it's pointless to even compare yourself or anyone to them. For everyone else it's a lot of practicing. And contrary to popular belief, you can train your ears to a high level even if your starting point is basically being tone deaf.

[@Varizen87]

Husky by the Geek (who Toxic has done collabs with) can pump out a cover with multiple guitars really fast. Some people are just that talented. There’s one guy who breaks down stuff on Piano. He’s got 2mil subs but I can’t remember his name, but he figured out the Ducktales Moon theme is 15/8 and and freaking out about it and I’m like… I barely know what an 8th note is.

[@hitokage4]

Long time FFXIV player, I just found your channel and I am in awe of how good your ear is! Being able to not only play the song itself but to start improvising in ways that sound incredible with it?! Totally unreal! You've got a new subscriber out of me!

[@crimsonpotemkin]

Because this series of raids is taking place in an arena with spectators, the tracks have crowds chanting. I think that adds a lot to the songs. Sounds really sick.

[@herpderp9108]

Just won the savage mount. Now I can listen to this everywhere I go!

[@austinmartin612]

The thing there is 3 of is Summoner, as evidenced by the 3 Bahamuts on screen at the same time. Their class symbol kinda looks like an axe head but think of it more like a dragon's firebreath. It's been said already, but singer is Chrissy Costanza, she's done a few things you may or may not have heard, a few for League of Legends(Legends Never Die being my favorite of them), she also did the vocals for "Hero Too" from My Hero Academia.

[@ugxsan]

I consider it as more of a wizard hat, personally. XD

[@fruitloops224]

@@ugxsan it's the horn on their artifact headwears.

[@ugxsan]

@@fruitloops224 I assume but those horns are always thin and this one’s kinda chonkeh. I mean if any job were gonna have a wizard hat it’d prolly be BLM. lol

[@Knuckx117]

I always saw it as a sextant

[@grumpycloud]

I just looked at the reference video, it's Warrior and Dark Knight (tanks), Sage and Scholar (Healers), Monk, 3x Summoners

[@brent5709]

The jams in the downtime of the song are so nice ty for the clip, this song is such a hyperfixation of mine

[@Rushifell]

Marcomeatball had an interview with Chrissy posted the other day.

[@darktail67]

Full cover when? 👀 That on-the-spot jam was so good! I'm looking forward to the music in the rest of the series, tbh; they did SUCH a great job of having unique music for all four fights

[@solzetatsu_]

Raid music for DT is so damn good. Glad to see you covering it brother 😌🤟🏼

[@Celis.C]

M2 next?

[@ugxsan]

Or Burning Souls. No killer vocals in that one, but the more I listen to it the more I love it.

Really amazingly epic cover of the song. Impressive to be able to figure it all out by ear so quickly. I'd love to hear your version overlayed with the savage phase 2 epic version

[@deth2munkies]

There’s a second, instrumental version for the 2nd phase of the Savage fight as well

[@jongr_supra]

I was waiting for you to do this! And it was totally worth it!

*_Give it All_* Official lyrics: Tonight our city bleeds red, blue, and green As I walk in the dark unseen Yet like the grey the sky is draped in The colors in my heart have faded Gone They're gone They're gone All gone A girl looks to the stars and dares to dream On the world she'd make her mark, it seemed This phantom in my mirror starin' back I realize that girl is Gone She's gone She's gone I'm gone Climbed every mountain, made it to the top I had it all, or so I thought Traded tomorrow for a lie And found the price too high The clock is ticking counting down to naught I'm outta time but it won't stop I'll bet my life before it's lost That final line I'll cross There ain't no going back No going back No going back No What light's left here inside I'll suffocate If that's what it takes, oh And those who look to cast me aside or turn their backs and leave me to die You can try, can try, come try, But I will survive No going back No going back Won't ever (no) Never again, no Ain't no going back No going back No coming back from the edge Look in my eyes, yeah I know you understand (somebody help, my misery's taking me) I've made up my mind, now there ain't no going back (somebody help, I'm losing what's left of me) I've made up my mind, now my heart's demanding I'm ready to fight til there's one left standing Tonight, lightning'll strike, thunder will fall (and) You're gonna give it all To me To me To me To me, I gotta believe You'll set Me free Tonight my circle finally comes complete One last step from the dark, I breathe The music's swellin', crowd is chantin' And for this moment fear's an after- thought It's gone It's gone All gone I look out to the crowd and there I see A thousand little girls--all me I've turned the tables, yeah I'm fightin' back I'll bring the lightnin', now it's On It's on It's on You're gone Climbed every mountain, made it to the top I had it all, or so I thought Traded tomorrow for a lie And found the price too high The clock is ticking counting down to naught I'm outta time but it won't stop I'll bet my life before it's lost That final line I'll cross There ain't no going back No going back No going back No What light's left here inside I'll suffocate If that's what it takes, oh And those who look to cast me aside or turn their backs and leave me to die You can try, can try, come try, But I will survive No going back No going back Won't ever (no) Never again, no Ain't no going back No going back No coming back from the edge, no more

[@DarukaEon]

Chrissy Costanza is the singer for this song. She also sang as Jiro in My Hero Academia (Each Goal and Hero Too) and did a couple of songs for League of Legends (Legends Never Die and Phoenix). So good!

[@vudangtung5638]

would be amazing if you make a full cover for this song.

[@samwilkinson9309]

The rift at the start makes me think of a fighting game character select screen, which I guess is fitting for these raids

YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THE SECOND PHASE THEME A RISKY BET

[@hexenvexen]

The X symbol is one of DT's new jobs "Viper"

[@jaylee9372]

Axe is WAR. Viper icon is a pair of fangs.

[@hexenvexen]

@@jaylee9372 I thought he said X, but you're right about the Viper job symbol, I misremembered it. The other X symbols I can think of are gladiator and marauder lol

[@sharkall77]

please listen to the 2nd part of the music! you'll love it

[@thesuperthingymabob8209]

I went and found the video and I know nobody cares but the jobs are scholar, sage, dark knight, warrior, monk and then 3 summoners

[@dacomputernerd4096]

The different combat classes in FF14, and their icons: Tanks: Paladin: You know the shield Warrior: Yes, a tank, and yes, the axe. Gunbreaker: A fancy Z Dark Knight: Idk how to describe this, it's the tank that's not the other three. Not sure what it's supposed to symbolize, it kinda reminds me of like a christmas tree ngl Healers: White mage: A cane Scholar: Glasses Astrologian: Two cards Sage: Several kite-like things, meant to represent the sage's weapons probably DPS casters: Black mage: A meteor Red mage: A rapier Pictomancer: A painter's brush and palette Blue mage: A mask Summoner: A weird satellite dish thing? I think it's meant to be a book stood spine-up on something Physical ranged DPS: Dancer: A stylized heart inscribed in a diamond. Looks a bit like a Kingdom Hearts symbol honestly Bard: A harp Machinist: A gun Melee DPS: Dragoon: a dragon head Monk: 3 slashes Ninja: A whirlwind Samurai: A circle with a curved line through the middle and a little triangle inside Reaper: A circle and a scythe Viper: Two fangs

[@Varizen87]

The fancy Z on gunbreaker is the cylinder of the revolver with the blade dividing the halves. The Dark Knight icon is a great sword pointed down that is extra spiky. The Red Mage icon is ultra clever. It is a rapier but also an inverted white mage icon combined with the black mage fire ball. The Dragoon one is also clever. It could be both a dragon head or a downward pointed spear representing the jump action. Summoner is the Summoner horn. In other games, the horn is used to commune with the summon. Think of it as the horn coming of the headband on a side profile. Samurai is the tsuba and guard of a Katana pointed toward you.

[@dacomputernerd4096]

@@Varizen87 makes sense I'd miss the horn since I didn't play earlier games. I recall a summary video I once saw on FF9's story mentioning it though, so it makes sense

[@dacomputernerd4096]

@@Varizen87 I also don't think I'm gonna be able to unsee the dark knight one as a Christmas tree with a star on top lmao

[@bluesrike]

The symbol for Dark Knight is thier weapon, a two-handed greatsword, with the blade pointing down.

[@Zentsuki-Wh]

Hey just a heads up, there's a slight mistake in your description, you didn't add a space between "eternity" and "support" so it doesn't properly redirect

[@rosseggleston5058]

Try the song "A risky bet" from FFXIV, another new song that is really good

[@Sephnroth]

amazing job as always!
