RWBY - Red Like Roses Part II Instrumental - complete edit

[@pizzaman9859]

When the official version removed the guitar: “Wh-why have you stopped playing that wonderful music?”

[@soarel325]

Holy shit, man. You did what I couldn't. A complete instrumental of the whole song rather than just a loop. This is REALLY fucking good!

[@MetaKnuxXbeats]

Thanks man! I am glad how this turned out. This is what I wanted in Blazblue Cross Tag Battle to be honest. Don't get me wrong, the vocal version is also awesome but I feel like an instrumental version would fit more in a ASW Fighting game. plus, I had some audio inspiration with Junkyard Dog from Guilty Gear Xrd with the beginning of the second verse and Rebellion from Blazblue in the ending portion.

(Starts at 0:27) 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 (I'm the one, 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 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 (I don't want, I don't want) You to waste your life in vain 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 You're not the only one who needed me; I thought you understood You were the one I needed, and you left me as I always feared you would Would I change it if I could? It doesn't matter how The petals scatter now Every nightmare just discloses It's your blood that's red like roses 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

Kwesi it was years ago. During the launch of CTB, Blake and Yang being DLC character caused a huge uproar. Later on, they made the decision to make them free I think.

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 all 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?

I mixed the instrumental edit of Red Like Roses II with the instrumental version of Red Like Roses II from Players and Pieces in the official soundtrack

Will it be fine to use some parts of this for my RWBY Ruby Figure unboxing? Of course, I`ll give credits.

Of course. Go right ahead but I think it is more appropriate to credit Jeff and Cassie Lee Williams since this mix is pretty much an edit of there music.

[@TalesofTruthahn]

this is not the complete version

[@Hisworld1234]

This isn’t complete tho? If you play it next to the original song with the buildup, it’s missing a minutes worth of song.

[@MetaKnuxXbeats]

Hisworld1234 I see your point though I am mostly referring to Red Like Roses Part II itself and not really any other parts. Maybe in the future I can make an extra version but that is up in the air.

[@Hisworld1234]

MetaKnuxXbeats that’s not what I mean. If you play it next to Red Like Roses Part II, it’s missing a verse. It keeps up until the chorus, but skips the response verse starting with “I know you’re broken down by anger and by sadness”

[@MetaKnuxXbeats]

Hisworld1234 really? I though I have that in tact since I just missed the instrumental versions of both versions.

[@Hisworld1234]

MetaKnuxXbeats yeah, it should have cut in at about 4:20, but it’s not a huge deal. It still listens well, it’s cut together pretty smoothly, good job on this

Kayn The Cosmic shadow Cosidering how the song sounds very similar to any Sol or Ragna theme from Guilty Gear or Blazblue, Yea, it is a bit weird that a character like Ruby has a theme like that. XD

[@M16StrikerSOF2]

I'm a bit late on this but if you listen to the actual lyrics it's about how Ruby deals with the loss of her mother. That on top of the fact that Ruby hunts giant monsters with a massive scythe... I think her theme fits pretty well for her.

[@Densoro]

@@M16StrikerSOF2 it definitely fits, but the show wasted this song on a pair of no-name Grimm with zero emotional impact on Ruby, instead of saving it for a scene where she could go _proper nuclear_ with grief. It could’ve been so impactful ):
