Red Like Roses Part II [Full Version with Buildup] - Jeff Williams Feat Casey Williams & Sandy Casey

[@GoldLight73]

I'm still trying to comprehend how they made such a depressing song so fun to listen to.

[@raviwolf9575]

Well I think it's due to how even though it's of loss it still shows life goes on

[@Blizzic]

"And all those times I swore that it would be okay..." Wow. That paints a mental picture. Just imagine: Little Ruby Rose crying as her mother heads for the door, Yang behind her, comforting, when Summer turns around, kneels down, pats Ruby on the head, and tells her that she promises to come back. After a while, Ruby gets used to it, until one day her Mom doesn't come back. Nobody knows what to tell her and she doesn't know what to think. Holy fuck.

[@dominicfusco5601]

Ruby looks forward with a determined look, as she cocks Crescent Rose. With the force of being shot out of a cannon, Weiss had the glyph send Ruby flying. As she soars through the air towards the Giant Nevermore, Ruby fires several shots, in order to keep herself propelling forward. She finally reaches the bird creature, and wraps the blade around its neck. Weiss then conjures white glyphs onto the cliffside, and Ruby knows exactly what to do. She starts running upwards, using the glyphs, and her shots to keep her moving fast. She finally reaches the top, and with one last pull, decapites the Nevermore. Landing perfectly on top of the cliff, she turns around to look at the scene, and her friends before her. Her cape flutters behind her in the wind. Both enemies have been vanquished. The battle is won

[@RibeyeJohnny]

"Would I change it if I could? It doesn't matter now" I love this song. The lack of closure in that bit is what really sells the emotion.

Took you that long? For me it was the Yellow Trailer that got me hooked. Could be because at the time Yang seemed like my OC come to life (both tall, blonde bombshells that use fiery punches to kick serious ass. What's not to like?) they ended up being quite different in the endw, but still

[@SgtTankDempsey]

Since this song is about Rubys mom i hope we saw a flashblack about her

[@hermannator1]

***** theres a lot of people with that theory and im not sure where it came from

[@bentheechidna]

It came from the grave at the beginning of the Red Trailer. On it are the words "Summer Rose - And thus kindly, I scatter" Summer Rose being a relative of Ruby's. What really sells it is the fact that this song is a duet between Casey Lee Williams and her mother Sandy Casey, as well as the lyrics, with Casey's lyrics being from Ruby's perspective and Sandy's from Summer's perspective. While it's greatly theorized upon that it's Ruby's mother, some also believe it could be her sister, though the Casey Lee/Sandy Casey connection makes me feel it's almost certainly her mother.

[@bentheechidna]

Oh also in the opening theme Ruby is arising in front of the grave with a taller ghostly figure cloaked in a white cape like her's.

[@bentheechidna]

Yeah I have a theory that Yang is really Ruby's cousin, and Qrow is Yang's father, Qrow Xiao Long.

Lie Ren is based on Mulan. I think I heard that Pyrrha is based on Achilles. We can only hope she has stronger heels.

I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute Couldn't bear another day without you in it All of the joy that I had known for my life Was stripped away from me the minute that you died To have you in my life was all I ever wanted But now without you I'm a soul forever haunted Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted No way in hell that I can ever comprehend this I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay? Now I'm trapped inside a nightmare every single f'ing day It's like a movie, but there's not a happy ending Every scene fades black, and there's no pretending This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell I know you didn't plan this You tried to do what's right. But in the middle of this madness I'm the one you left to win this fight Red like roses Fills my head with dreams and finds me Always closer To the emptiness and sadness That has come to take the place of you Voice 2 (Sandy): I know you're broken down by anger and by sadness You feel I left you in a world that's full of madness Wish I could talk to you, if only for a minute Make you understand the reasons why I did it I wanna tell you that you're all that ever mattered Want you to know that, for eternity, I'm shattered I tried so hard just to protect you, but I failed to And in a prison of abandonment I've jailed you I never planned that I would leave you there alone I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home And all the times I swore that it would be okay Now I'm nothing but a liar, and you're thrown into the fray This bedtime story ends with misery ever after The pages are torn, and there's no final chapter I didn't have a choice, I did what I had to do I made a sacrifice ​but forced a bigger sacrifice on you I know you've lived a nightmare I caused you so much pain But, baby, please don't do what I did I don't want you to waste your life in vain Voice 1: Red like roses Fills my head with dreams and finds me Always closer To the emptiness and sadness That has come to take the place of you. Voice 2: You're not the only one who needed me; I thought you understood Voice 1: You were the one I needed, and you left me as I always feared you would Voice 2: Would I change it if I could? Both voices: It doesn't matter how The petals scatter now Every nightmare just discloses It's your blood that's red like roses Voice 1: And no matter what I do Nothing ever takes the place of you Red like roses Fills my head with dreams and finds me Always closer To the emptiness and sadness That has come to take the place of you Show less REPLY

People keep theorising that this song about how Ruby secretly feels or how she will feel in the future. But could it actually be about about how she used to feel? May be it's meant to be about how she felt when she first lost her mom. Seeing how much pain her sister was in could also be the reason Yang stepped up and became such a good sister to her.

[@themooseisloose111]

To the people who think that this song is about Jaune and Pyrrha (because I know they are out there), this song is NOT about them. If it was, then Casey's part would be sung by Jeff. This song is about Ruby accepting that her mother is dead. This is a "conversation" between Ruby and Summer. This is also sung by a mother and daughter (Sandy and Casey).

[@ademonslayer7130]

The Moose Is Loose Okay, I'm not one of those people, but I think part of a song is it's meaning is open to interpretation, don't get me wrong, the original meaning is important and when this song was written, it was about Ruby and Summer... but In a roundabout sense it's applicable to Jaune and Pyrrha... just like it was also in a roundabout sense applicable to Yang and Raven... it's just a matter of interpretation...

[@FeatherShard]

Between the way she acts and Red Like Roses 1/2, I'm pretty sure that Ruby has some serious damage. Whatever happened in her past messed that poor kid up and it's going to catch up to her. That's gonna be hard to watch.

[@sanaralerx9488]

Why do I remember the exact lyrics to this song. It’s been 3 years since I’ve heard it

[@nitrofighter58]

sometimes I like to think that this is Ruby talking to her late mother, who ended up becoming Salem for whatever reason I can't wait to find out

[@TheChadChamp]

X_blade13 Pretty sure she isn't Salem considering that Salem is the origin of the Grimm, which have been around long since Qrow and therefore Ruby's mom

[@senorjecansu1093]

AnimeBattles(Top10s) WAY longer

[@TheChadChamp]

Señor Jecansu I know

[@UncookedMoa]

I like to think that Summer made some decision that somehow connects Salem's fate to Ruby, thus "Forced to make a sacrifice of you." But, we shall see what what actually happened eventually.

Amazing storytelling with a song, one of the things I love about RWBY is the music, it's made just for the series and each scene individually and it fits perfectly each time it plays.

[@Redfire085]

Outstanding, I wanted to hear this version for a while now

[@JTruth9419]

So much WIN....!!!!

[@H0m3yB97]

Wish, i could this on iTunes, damn the full version with the build up is amazing.

[@Soletmod]

i think it's on the ost

[@H0m3yB97]

This is a custom mash up of the single and the one from the ost.

[@Kylec0pezTR]

Just use a KZbin-MP3 converter like I did.

[@Tuton25]

Kylec0pezTR shhh!!!! No one needs to know that :)

[@Kylec0pezTR]

Tuton25 No! People need to be able to listen to this perfection 24 hours a day if they so wish!

[@goldensaiyan22]

i personally like the built up, it gets the song going and adds to the adrenalin feeling.

[@johndunn1625]

when i was younger, I only knew Roosterteeth through Rvb. but when i joined the army (14h), one of the guys in my unit was a giant weeabo who consumed everything anime, including stuff that wasn't technically of japanese origination, but was *definitely* inspired by it. RWBY was definitely one of those things, and one of my deepest regrets is that the series didn't finish before the company ended. RIP Roosterteeth. RIP Montyoum

[@XLEZZY_REUPLOADS]

this shit's my jam

[@grandadmiralthrawn92]

WHY WASN'T THIS ON ITUNES?!?!?! This gave me chills when I listened to it

[@AegisKHAOS]

OK, I think I just found my third favorite song. Amazing how much more I'm listening to this with the buildup added. o.o And i loved both the episode version and the album version already. ;p

[@haydenstagg9357]

I love how part one is mostly instrumental, and part two Ruby is like: "Oh hi mom! Why the fuck did ya have to go die on my ass huh?" And Summer is just like: "I know I fucked up and got myself killed and brought you misery yes, but in my defense, I didn't mean to"

[@karaokekingskingdom]

THAT FUCKING INTRO DOE!!!!!

[@MayaMachina-n8s]

*Checks out of curiosity to see if this is on spotify* Jeff, Caseym and Sandy... god bless you all!

[@MrNapcakes]

After watching the first 10 episodes, this song makes ALOT of sense now.

[@jangofett23]

Wish this was the one that had gotten released on the CD rather than the shorter version without the buildup Still my favorite Volume 1 song regardless

[@chadparsons9465]

Uhhhhhh such a good song

[@BillySleeth]

This is without doubt the most amazing song in the world. I just wish the Williams family would start their own band that does music like this. ]:

[@commenteroftruth9790]

never watched rwby, probably wouldnt like it at all cuz of the art style and animation, but this song is grand regardless

[@MrDoyle-ky4he]

The story is even worse. You can find videos on it if you're so inclined.

[@commenteroftruth9790]

@@MrDoyle-ky4he lol the stories worse? Thats unfortunate.

[@quinnhasse9170]

depends on the season

[@winterberry3412]

Just watch the first 3 volumes It's fire!
