Why the Super Earth Anthem from Helldivers 2 is ACTUALLY Well Written

[@RossTregenza]

Hey! I wrote this anthem so it was a really treat to listen to you break it down in such an interesting way, thank you!

[@SamuelBeilman]

Hi! This is a fantastic piece and it was a pleasure listening to it so many times for this video! I'm so happy you enjoyed it!

[@gravyscones]

thank you for this amazingly patriotic and outrageously democratic composition

[@צמחישראלמרום]

this anthem is so straightforwards and simple. I will even say, unwitted. but this is what so briliant about it. the brainwashing in this anthem is so clear, and uncomplicated, everything is so straightforward. that every person who will hear this will be like- I don't need to understand the joke to see that you aimed it to sound like a brainwashing propaganda. BUT. I liked it. because this anthem shows what reality is in superearth. when everyone are brainwashed, the most clearly propagandic anthem, is not looked as as a propaganda. but rather, as inspiration. undeniable truth. this is how brainwashed people think. and this anthem captures it brilliantly.

[@DieHard_LIVE]

Thank you for being the perfect person to make this anthem hit a home run for managed democracy on and beyond Super Earth.

fun fact the lyrics themselves are actually fan made when the instrumental is only played in the low level flag missions back then [the source]: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omLLfKaXd9ehjbM became official during the official "Second Galactic War" in the game

the anthem is official, lyrics included. it was just in the files and not used in the game.

[@AdmiralTails]

Yeah, when the song was datamined but the video wasn't in the game yet, the lyrics people transcribed were *quite* different in a few places.

[@ZephyrusAsmodeus]

My favorite part of pretty much all the music of Helldivers 2 is that it's all structured around fours. Like, obviously, a ton of music is 4/4, but I mean noting and inflection, too. The best example is the theme that plays during hellpod launches, four descending notes with a little uprising at the end, ⬇️1 2 3 4 (rest) ⬆️5 6.. then ⬇️1 2 3 ⬆️4 (rest) ⬆️1 2 3 4 (brief rest) ⬆️ 5 6.. Four inflections, four descending divers, brief and lesser rises, fewer divers returning. I just love that. The same is even true for this anthem, the inflections are in fours here too, that same pattern of 1 2 3 4 shows up all over it, with some exceptions for lyrical pronunciation.

[@SamuelBeilman]

That's a really cool find and something I didn't notice before! It adds a very subtle tie in for all of the tracks too, to make them feel a part of the same world.

[@hrs.ai2018]

[@mystery_exe]

do you actually have to say "unalive"? I thought it was only tiktok were you couldn't say "kill" and you don't seem to have any sponsors to upset either. Also "sacrifice" might have been a better word anyway. Also, while it definitely serves as adequate proof, your piece is a bit high pitched and lacks any sort of base, resulting in a significantly dampened impact, that doesn't inspire many emotions. Absolutely keep doing your work though, your channel has the potential to reach great heights if you keep up the quality.

[@SamuelBeilman]

Thank you for your support! I agree with your analysis of the original. I am not a very strong vocalist yet. Still a work in progress! And I think "kill" is fine to say on YT. Just memeing lol
