The Uranium Suite [Official Audio] from Ride the Cyclone The Musical

[@Eliz_Creates]

The whispering of “did we finally leave our town?” Seems like they’re kinda excited by the thought that the might’ve left. Like “oh…we made it out?”

[@nox...666]

ive always interpreted it as like. kind of a sick irony statement, maybe even by karnak somehow. a lot of karnaks point is that the kids should have appreciated their lives more so its kind of like "yeahh your town sucks so much and oh look your out!! is this so much better? being dead? yeahh."

[@philspence3073]

I love how you hear the voices of potential casualties. During Karnak's monologue, you can hear a dad say "you want to ride it again?" And a little boy cheer, meaninh that they were either casualties or witnesses to the accident. It's so sad

[@Simmer12341]

I LOVE THE MUSICAL FORESHADOWING OF JANE DOE'S THEME

[@lukevia4448]

I heard the ballad of Jane doe before this song on shuffle and it sounded slightly off and I was confused

[@twiceornone8391]

can you kindly elaborate

[@croutonwu]

@@twiceornone8391 the scale that the kids sing on "ah" underneath the Karnak narration is the same as Jane Doe's scale in The Ballad of Jane Doe

[@AlashiaTuol]

I think it's more likely the reverse - that melody is the leitmotif of the accident. All Jane knows about her past is the accident, which is probably why her song calls back to this melody - she repeats the leitmotif of the accident in her song while singing about the loss of her identity.

[@rosesdrawings]

I think the ahh’s depict her screams while the children were close to death Jane was still falling and that was her scream

[@All-ze9cl]

I love how during the fortune tellers speech, you can hear the gears cranking as the kids are lurched up the hill, nearing the drop that leads to them hurdling off. It's so suspenful

The uranium suite is so happy on the surface yet so dark, it’s gotta be one of my favorites in the musical. The underlying messages and creepiness are so beautiful.

[@sofi_daioh]

YES

[@emilyl5078]

Someone had a theory that you hear Jane’s voice (and foreshadowing of her ballad w the falling vocalisation) after the others because the others fell first, dying on impact while she was still falling in the back which is why it’s delayed

[@trinket_lover]

I love that theory! I've also always thought it was partly because a decapitated head is still conscious for a few seconds so while the others were already dead she might have still been concious for a few seconds

[@-nutella]

@@trinket_loveryeah i think something similar, on a slime tutorial of rtc someone in the comments goes into detail about the fact that at one of the scenes in the very start when it shows them in the cyclone in one of the frames you can see what looks like to be Penny sitting beside Ricky in the back of the cart, but you don’t see her in the next frame so they said she might’ve already been thrown off at that point and then been ran over and of course what you mentioned about the head still functioning for a few seconds and plus the fact that i’m pretty sure your hearing is your last sense you lose which could explain how Penny talks about hearing screams or something in her Ballad. sorry i just realised how long that was 😅

[@englishatheart]

Except that doesn't work if you view them having died after they sing the Fall Fair Suite. Because Jane is literally the first character seen and she's already headless. So, unless the very beginning of the show takes place after, Jane was dead first.

[@dannystar270]

@@englishatheartthat’s probably just a narrative resource. At that moment the accident had not occurred Jane singing in the start it’s just foreshadowing

[@itsmethecoolguy]

Constance saying at 0:38 "we stayed here for our whole life" makes me so sad because at this point she was still upset about her life and how she would die never having left uranium

[@stardust1815]

I can't decide which version of Karnak's voice I like better: This version or the original version. The original version sounds a lot more snarky and sarcastic, which adds to the humor, but this version sounds more creepy and eerie. Edit: Just read through the replies, when I said "original" I meant the stage version of the performance on youtube, I should've been more clear about that.

[@descalante64]

This was the original voice of Karnak. He was in the 2011-2013 version. Well maybe not original original but still.

[@leahbudil9437]

I've reflected a bit on this too(this versus the Karnak of the most widely available recording)! I basically came to the conclusion that they both have the essential parts of the ideal Karnak, just in the different measures. Really when you get down to it, doing Karnak justice is a balancing act between two essential sides: the somewhat detached but benevolent god-like presence and the snarky father-like figure. Because on one hand: he's seen the lives of thousands of human beings, he's all-knowing and knew from the beginning exactly how things were going to play out. These kids are a drop in a bucket, his one last show before his own demise. It makes sense that he'd regard them as basically a cute little source of amusement. On the other hand: he chose to give these children the chance at this gift. He wasn't able to save them and the way he talks about it suggests he wishes he could've. He understands that they're individuals and, more importantly, children that didn't deserve to have their lives cut short. In a sense, he's acting as their guardian during this experience and it's a role he takes on with the tone of a tired and heavily sardonic dad who is at least going to enjoy mocking and embarrassing the kids while he's stuck watching them. The Karnak of the album leans toward the first side, the one in the stage recording leans toward the latter. So, basically, it's a tough call who I like better! I have a soft spot for the stage recording one, but that has a lot to do with having a soft spot for that side of the character more than thinking it's objectively better.

[@gumballgun]

@@descalante64 no it isn’t, the voice of karnak on the cast recording is actually Jacob Richmond! He wrote the show :)

[@descalante64]

@@gumballgun Yes it is. It's the same voice.

I do like this version because it puts more emphasis on the small town part of the story, which in the fall fair suite version is only mentioned a little bit in the opening and then again in constance's monologue. Im from a small town and the repeated "we'll never leave this town at all" right from the start hits really hard. But also i like fall fair suite better musically

[@AverageDunce]

I personally think that tragic fact was better for the small town part, Gave more emotion and emphasis on it.

[@cjshattered2293]

I personally think Fall Fair suit is better because this is a character based musical and this just doesn't focus on that is much

[@PrincessNinja007]

Also just like, the first few seconds of Fall Fair are unlistenably saccharine. This doesn't have quite the same level of forced chipper energy.

[THE URANIUM SUITE LYRICS] Uranium! Uranium! That’s our town, our friendly town Uranium Uranium That’s our town, our highway town The sky is almost blue here Grain elevators too here The pride and joy of sweet saskatchewan We came here for the half-life Stayed here for our whole life To give the whole wide world plutonium Uranium Uranium That’s our town, our friendly town Oh no no We will never leave this town at all (Spoken) And my part in the story... I read all of the children’s fortunes... I felt their hopes, thoughs, dreams, knowing they would board the doomed roller coaster and could tell them nothing. I even suggested they ride the Cyclone. On Monday, September 14th, they would board the Cyclone roller coaster at 6:17pm At 6:19 this same roller coaster’s front axle would break causing it to derail at the apex of the loop-de-loop, hurtling the children to their deaths. And then you’re sailing through space You don’t know up from down And you feel a little strange From all that spinning ‘round And everything you loved And everything you dreamed And everything you feared And everything that seemed so Oh so terrifying It’s far behind on the ground Like our far from the city Little itty bitty pretty hometown Just a teeny tiny dot, on a wee blue ball And we’ve all been spinning... All been spinning Round ‘n Round ‘n Round ‘n Round ‘n Round ‘n Round ‘n Round ‘n Round ‘n Round ‘n Round ‘n Round ‘n Round ‘n, woo! Ura- Nium Ura- Nium The smart ones all Packed up And went why stay If you can’t pay the rent We will never leave this town at all Drink some brew, join the choir Build yourself a funeral pyre Uranium our dead in dive We’ll never leave this town alive No we will never leave this town at all!

I like the original better for sure, this is more similar to every other musical and I liked how different the intro felt before

[@rosesdrawings]

What I’ve noticed abt fall fair and uranium is that uranium talks less about the accident and the children knowing that the accident happened and they’re talking more about their town and how they can never leave (of course they start talking about it at the end with the “shattered rows of mom and pops” but they talked about it less while in Fall fair it’s more about the kids realizing what happened and are like, what now? They’re mad they died “what a load of fricking junk that crusty carny clearly drunk” “sue that fair for everything they got” plus it has more hints of Jane but overall both songs amazing just fall fair is more diverse

[@All-ze9cl]

I prefer fall fair suite, it sounds better and i love the way they handle the crash. But, karnaks section in this is so eerie and i love it, i wish his part was in fall fair because it would be so perfect

[@con2553]

What I personally love about The Uranium Suite 2021 is how it includes all other opening themes of Ride the Cyclone into one song. There's the original The Uranium Suite at the beginning, with several lines referencing Tragic Fact ("The smart ones all packed up and went // Why stay if you can't pay the rent? // We will never leave this town at all" and "Drink some brew // Join the choir // Build yourself a funeral pyre"). The "Sailing Through Space" from Waiting for the Drop is also included, alongside the bit where Ricky joins in with "All been spinning" and refernces to sky and ground from Fair Fall Suite. The melody from the girl/boy split lyrics is also taken from Waiting / Fair Fall. Overall while I still think all have great moments on their own (Tragic Fact describing Uranium's tragic fate; Waiting for the Drop's more chaotic lyrics describing the carnival mood and Fair Fall Suite having mini retrospects into each character (sans Ricky and Jane) and how they're feeling), The Uranium Suite 2021 is probably gonna be the most condensed version we're gonna see of an opening to Ride the Cyclone. And I don't mind. It's incredibly catchy. Sorry if I missed out any versions of the opening track, and for the lyrics I mostly just use Genius (and my ears for Tragic Fact, so sorry for any errors there).

[@cjshattered2293]

I'm pretty sure the sailing through spaces in every single opening I have yet to see one where there isn't that

[@nyxmethyst9651]

I like both Fall Fair Suite and The Uranium Suite for different reasons, but I like the first one better because of the emphasis on the carnival theme and Jane's vocals in the transitions. I think they should have recorded Fall Fair Suite, at least as a bonus track in the cast recording like they added A World Inside.

Are you talking about the part of BOYS: And every kind of music, blasts in my ears! GIRLS: All those colored lights! Oh oh oh! Have you ever had the song match up with end of this one? Just have WFTD on another tab and then make it a little fast so it is in time with this. I start at the "Spinning round n round . . ." part then switch it to "Life was about to start!" because to make it a little short, but you can start with "Every kind of music . . ." With this "Round n round" because it's more long. Also it sounds cool with the No we will never (Oh, we're never going back) Leave (Are ever) This (Ever) Town (Going) At All! (Back!)

Good song, though I much prefer the eerie, catchier, more character-focused Fall Fair Suite (though I admit the end of that song is a bit weak and would probably do better combined with the end from this one). The bit mimicking the broken record is especially creepy and impressive. My favorite bit below- OCEAN: "What a piece of freaking junk! The crusty carnie, clearly drunk! Sue the place for everything they've got!" NOEL: "What's even the point of suing? Dead, we're done, there's no undoing Nothing left to do except to rot!" MISCHA: "Sex! Oh god, why did I wait?" OCEAN: "Now we'll never graduate!" CONSTANCE: "I hope I wiped my browser hist'ry clean!" ALL: "Why'd I even go to class? Algebra 12, kiss my ass!" MISCHA: "Now I know what YOLO really means!"

[@QualitativeVacuum]

I might just be hearing things, but I think the melody for the section you quote here from Fall Fair Suite is either the same or very similar to the melody near the end of this version! (either way they are *very* different tonally and in terms of orchestrations, which makes it hard to tell)

I like how in Uranium Karnak describes exactly what's happening. Time stamped and everything. Very true-crime "this horrible thing has happened and it could have happened to you". Then they go up, have a moment of weightlessness, then come back down and accelerate into a tempo change and in a minor key as they fall. "This fall unfair the ride goes where? Ah!" is some nice wordplay but they die in the space of a single line and then they hit the ground, get back up, and a few lines later Noel's already pointing out "welp nothing we can do now". Really sucks the tesnion out of it all.

2:12 I love this musical, but man this part of the song gives me flashbacks to my own near-death experience. I was touring around Europe with a large group of high schoolers to perform concerts. We were on a mountain in Switzerland, and my friends and I had the brilliant idea of doing the go-cart course down the mountain. This course had no side rails or nets to make sure we wouldn't plummet down the cliff, but of course, we saw no red flags. Anyway, the first ride down went well, so we all decided to go again. I stuck back a bit to ensure I wouldn’t get as much dust in my eyes. Big mistake. No one was there to see me accidentally ride my cart too fast over a big rock and plummet down the mountain (luckily towards the end of the track). As I fell, the cart hitting my head multiple times, I felt exactly what is lyricized in the song. I was weightless, seeing my life flash before me, and felt strangely too at peace given the situation. Once I landed, I had this strange urge to just stay there; faceplanted in the rocks. I dunno, just thought I'd share my relationship with the lyrics

[Karnak:] On Monday, September 14th, they would board the cyclone rollercoaster at 6:17 pm At 6:19, the same rollercoaster's front axle would break, causing it to derail at the apex of the loop-de-loop, hurtling the children to their deaths! [Choir:] Aah! And then you're sailing through space You don't know up from down And you feel a little strange From all that spinning 'round And everything you loved And everything you dreamed And everything you feared And everything that seems so Oh, so terrifying It's far behind on the ground Like our far-from-the-city-little-itty-bitty-pretty hometown Just a teeny, tiny dot on a wee blue ball And we've all been spinning [Noel, Mischa & Ricky:] All been spinning [Choir:] Round and round and round And round and round Round and round And round and round and round And round and round [Noel, Mischa & Ricky:] Uranium... Uranium... [Ocean & Constance:] Empty streets of empty shops Shuttered rows of mom and pops Bow down to the mega shopping mall Uranium... Uranium... [Noel, Mischa & Ricky:] The smart ones all packed up and went Why stay if you can't pay the rent We will never leave this town at all [Choir:] Drink some brew, join the choir Build yourself a funeral pyre Uranium our dead-end dive We'll never leave this town alive No we will never Leave This Town At All! [Karnak:] Greetings children It's time to play [Choir:] Earth is sky and sky is ground [Whispered] Did we finally leave our town? (Button. The children stand gobsmacked, huddled together)

not me crying at 12 am over this 😳💞

[@argyropoeia]

omg hi the spiced chai instagram user

[@nm6439]

it's always fun trying to spot jane doe's backing vocals during the openings, and it's especially clearer here in the official release :D!

[@scarletrosziel4906]

After listening to the song multiple times I realized that the Ahs in the song while Karnak is talking about the accident at 6:19pm the last set of ahs is supposed to represent their screams. In only guessing this so If anyone knows another idea of what it could be I would love to hear it! :)

[@croutonwu]

I'm surprised KZbin hasn't removed my comments for spam, but my music theory brain is on fire right now in the best way possible!!!!! This song has so much awesome content and I'm only two songs in!!!!!

[@egg_mite1006]

This musical gives me goosebumps. It's my favorite musical, but absolutely terrifying.

[@twist_ending7545]

Have you listened to The Mad Ones

[@komomn]

1:47 I love this part

[@HatBox]

Wasn’t expecting to be attracted to Karnak’s voice

[@dihte1628]

Ironically it's one of the creators of the musical

[@p1ge0n_]

1:37 no cause why am i literally listening to this on September 14th

[@angle-dusk]

HAPPY RTC DAY PEOPLE

[@grace.skiis2012]

This is the best intro its soo much powerful than the other intros

[@froggychair979]

I love this version of the song! But I miss having the foreshadow to Jane part :(

[@melmxanie]

There's one at 1:33 !!!

[@inoronii]

imagine going on a choir field trip to a theme park and you end up dying 😭😭

[@The_Honey_Diaries]

i was listening to this song with my friend and i said that i kept hearing "Uranium" as my own name. she kept bringing it up.

[@devinstolar9247]

Ugh, fall fair suite was my favorite opening. I thought it went through all the tones and emotions that were meant to be in the opening.

[@trinidadriquelme7932]

i feel like waiting for the drop is also a decent opening

[@brrrnaner]

Round and Round bit itches my brain 🥰

“My mother died of Uranium poisoning” The choir:

I would mix the two after “we will never leave this town at all”. And go into fall fair suite

[@Adalai_]

For any music theory girlies who need memory devices for intervals; the first “Uranium” starts with a Major 6th!

[@r0ckst4rs3r3nad3]

I like both Fall Fair Suite and Uranium Suite but I think fall fair is a better intro because it actually emphasizes the scariness of the ride breaking down, and it introduces how the characters are like by their solos in the song. This song however it explains that they won’t leave the town at all and not much of the accident. But i like both tbh.

[@Phonysire]

3:44 This part’s soo good

Me practicing songs for a musical I’ll probably never be in:

[@friendlyghost7781]

Love this musical tbh

[@-humanbeing-8733]

My only problem is that they didn’t include most of “waiting for the drop”

[@twist_ending7545]

They should've kept Jane's arpeggios from Fall Fair Suite

[@PancakePolites]

The high notes in the songs are their screams as the cyclone fell and killed them all.🌚

[@harpyblue2202]

Omg this is amazing

[@livelovellama]

3:03 my fav part of the song

[@marshiebowsz]

WE ARE GETTING OUR HEAD BACK WITH THIS ONE

[@TheStarLitLamb]

these kids got 2 minutes on a shiddi ride, then faking died. zam

[@1.Elliott.Draws.1]

Call me crazy but I like this one better than Fall Fair Suite

[@tuttiflooti]

1:16 I thought he didn’t read penny’s fortune?

[@dihte1628]

Since Penny was a "mystery guest" he could mean he read everyone else's.

[@pianolover3711]

jane doe wasn't revealed to the audience until after this song, so it wouldn't make sense for him to say otherwise

[@Jikiisi]

Is it normal that I can't hear Mischa's voice? 😭

[@N4t4lie_016]

SAME but I think he’s Bass so we really can’t hear him that much

[@TotalClown]

Same with me I wish I could hear him he's my fav character so I wish I could point out mischas voice in the different songs that aren't his 😭😭😭

[@Abby-bg4sx]

Wow this song is so good!

i love uranium!!!!!!
