I like how in both the smp and in this song, Techno comes off as harsh, like a villain, yet trying to warn. On multiple occasions, he’s tried explaining his points, and has been helpful, but is written off as a villain. A lot of the people don’t seem to listen, we’ve seen them interrupt Technoblade numerous times. But when we see Ranboo listen and not shut Techno down, he actually is a bit swayed, even if he’s a pushover. I don’t know, this is just how I see it
Such a great observation. I feel as through techno will be the one saving people from Dreams prison making him the true anime protagonist. I feel as through that will happen a lot later in the plot though
You see. We have a altered lens of who’s good and bad. It’s shown that Tommy and all his (previous) friends are good. But most of them are still really bad 1/2 the time. Meanwhile anyone who opposed them are the villains. Cause like he said at least jschlatt was elected. And techno was betrayed by all of them. But the bias showed him as a traitor
I love how this was basically just one huge cautionary tale told to Tommy?? And even though it may be harsh-- "If you think you're a hero, die like one," "told you so," "don't blame me if you die"-- the last lines "just live this time with caution, I'll make sure you'll be fine" shows that he still cares. He just doesn't want history to repeat, and even though he doesn't want to be blamed for Tommy's death... That doesn't mean he won't help Tommy.
So basically techno is singing to tommy. Telling him about theseus. And near the end it was about tommy making a home under his house. Correct me if I'm wrong
I love how it sounds so sad and resigned instead of just making him an angry violent character that song people portray him as. He doesn't like doing what he's doing and you captured that
So, this is the "I'm sorry, but I'll do what I must." "THE BLADE" Is the war song and "No Heroes Here" is "I'm a tortured individual and I'll go insane living life in the wrong lane."
This song hits different now that he’s gone. Never forget his legacy, it reached to all of us. We all cried, millions of tears. You and your life will be honored for thousands of years man, fly high and Rest In Peace.
"Just live this time with caution - I'll make sure you'll be fine." You hit Techno's character on the head here. I really feel this is how Techno would tell a story if he got time to write it out. And that last line? It's so good. ( I hear Techno's grin here, you just know he says that and there's a small grin. ) I love the choice of somber for him, fits Techno's character so well. I love the way the vocals are presented and how everything flows together- this is so good.
"his tale remained for a thousand years, his death was mourned by a hundred tears, he was honored for his life" it hits too hard with a different context. rest in peace Blood God 1:22
Everybody talking about the “If you think your a hero die like one,” line, but can we take a second to appreciate “He did what he must, and like him you shone too much,”? It just fits Tommy’s character so well, and I can see it as something techno would say... beautiful!
BANGER SONG BANGER SONG AS ALWAYS Time to write an essay: There are actually so many parallels to be drawn between the legends of the heroes and the story of Technoblade- not even Tommy. Theseus was renowned for his feats, but eventually, right after his peak, he resorted to gallivanting around the world and eventually crossed the line while trying to kidnap Persephone. In the end, his fatal flaw was hubris, just like so many others, but the thing is the character that Technoblade has crafted for himself has the story of a hero, yet his flaw is peer pressure- definitely not a flaw of the ancient ones. Technoblade is interesting not only because of that, but also because there has never been a clear hero arc- yet we all feel so inclined to believe that he was once a hero before he blew the area up with withers. It's probably most likely due to his recent retirement stuff and everything, but the point remains that from the way Techno writes his speeches, we believe that Techno was once wronged. That being said, you could count his short time on Pogtopia's side to be the hero arc right before things went wrong, but it just kind of feels... wrong when you think of it that way. (if you couldn't tell already, I'm very clearly a techno apologist) There's another parallel I find particularly interesting, and that's that many of the greek heroes were betrayed by their family members in some way- Heracles died of poison administered by his wife, Perseus was thrown out to sea by his own grandfather, and Jason died on the Argo, all alone, his two sons stabbed to death by his ex-wife, Medea, who had also killed his to-be bride and his to-be father in law. Techno's been used and betrayed by Tommy, Tubbo and Wilbur, and he thought that Phil had, too. Before December 16th, it's likely that he wanted to remain a loner out of spite, purely just to show the world that he doesn't need the familial bonds everyone says he's tied to. I've rambled for too long and some of this is probably BS but anyway- BANGER SONG BANGER SONG Edit: WAIT THIS AGED SOMEWHAT WELL DIDN'T TOMMY BETRAY HIM AGAIN WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIIIIIIT YEAH IK TECHNO'S NOT THEIR FAMILY IN CANON BUT-
"His tale remained for a thousand years His death was mourned by a hundred tears, He was honored for his life." Rest in peace Technoblade, we love you, and you will never die from our hearts.
Something interesting that the song made me realize, is that during the entire “You think you’re a hero Tommy? Then die like one!” is the fact that it’s kinda about Tommy’s arrogance as well. He had asked if he thought he was a hero, because it would get to his brain, and make him more arrogant. He wanted to stop that overly arrogant behavior before it started. And don’t get me wrong, Tommy is already a very arrogant character. He does refer to himself as a “hero”, and the “protagonist” and with Wilbur he also says the thing about him “always being in the right”. But it seems like techno was partly trying to stop it before it started too much.
@OioiTeaAndCrumpets this was before the song was up, so i assumed it was all technoblade but tommy is also amazing, so it doednt change the fact that the song is very good
I feel that people villainize Techno too much. He is a man true to his words and has never acted outside of his promises. He was recruited to destroy Manburg. He was the core force of the rebellion, whether it was in providing resources, fighting in the frontlines, countering Dream, and just overall boosting morale with his presence. He said he would destroy the government and when he fulfilled his words people were shocked as if he didn't already say his plan dozens of times over. He was used, thrown away, and then stigmatized as a villain. Everything he said about government, corruption, and power all were proven true, especially in the recent events. He's fiercely loyal to his true friends but is still capable of acting out in his ideals and beliefs. When the butcher squad tried to execute him it shows perfectly the state of their government, Tommy's exile strengthens his point as well. At the end of the day, Techno seems more like a player in a chess game rather than a piece on the board not just because he is helping to write the script but also because of how enlightened he is
Exactly They kinda took his items to create a government that failed again Tubbo is going to make a Christmas festival to kill Dream just like Shlatt did, we just know it will fail And remember that Techno still owns Dream one favor for helping him escape
@@ant9347 i.. Tubbo's making a WHAT now?! i havent been catching up to the lore, but i saw tubbo's stream today and chat was saying something about a festival... oh gods. it's been postponed, though
I’d like to think Techno’s origin story was he was adopted by the piglins of the nether and trained by them. Then the piglins faced a threat, and Techno saved them, but the piglins turned on him, outcasting and exiling him from the nether, or at least from the piglins. He was orphaned. Or so he thought. His bloodfather Phil found him and brought him back with his family, eventually becoming the warrior we all know today. idk bout you but that sounds like a cool plot idea, maybe as a one off animatic or something like that.
@OioiTeaAndCrumpets yes, very aware. But it would make sense that Techno was once like Tommy, once like Theseus. That would explain why he doesn’t want to be a hero. He’s done it all before, and been betrayed before. He sees Tommy following that path, whether he believes it or not, and wants to stop it before it happens to him. And spoiler alert: it does. Tommy gets exiled, and eventually Techno teams up with him; likely out of knowing he wouldn’t survive a day without help from anyone but Dream.
This sounds exactly how I expected Technoblade's Theme would be. It doesn't sound angry or bloodlusting at all, seeing how he even told Phil he doesn't want to listen to his voices, just want to be a good person. He doesn't like his actions at all, portrayed by: It isn't your choice, you were destined to, yet he'll kill you if it's necessary to fulfill his ideals.
I like to think when Techno says “ Don’t blame me if you die just live this time with caution I’ll make sure you’ll be fine “ that he said this to Tommy once when they where kids when Tommy was getting chased by a hound of mobs and big brother Techno comes to the rescue to help Tommy so when in the future when Techno and Tommy’s relationship becomes more distant especially when Techno kills Tommy’s best friend and goes on a massacre killing everybody that they stop talking to each other completely with Tommy thinking that his only other sane brother/Techno has also stopped being the old strict caring brother that he once new and relied on so when Tommy comes to Techno for Shelter and help out of desperation and Techno says these lines that it would hit different for Tommy like give him hope that his old brother isn’t gone but just changed and hope for things to go back as they used to by being a proper family again instead of being separated and hating, using one another. Also when Techno calls Tommy Theseus a respected hero of ancient lore that he says it in a way of respect for Tommy that he’s proud enough of Tommy for being and doing something that Techno can not by being a true hero and trying to do his best even if he’s going to enviably lose and Techno is proud of who Tommy is and calling him Theseus is a way of him telling Tommy that.
Lyrics- (Verse 1) I once knew a man back in the day, He was born by the royal bay, Either mortal or divine, He was stronger than his peers, Helped his people live without fear, The best his city ever had (Chorus) But he feel from his grace, And now you’re taking his place, Now you know how heroes turn to one. He stood out, as he must, And like him, you shone too much If you think you’re a hero, die like one. I told you so, I told you so. (Verse 2) His tale remained for a thousand years His death was mourned by a hundred tears, He was honored for his life. His legacy has reached to you, It isn’t your choice, you were destined too, Live the rest of your life despised. (Chorus) Coz he fell from his grace, And now you’re taking his place, Now you know how heroes turn to one. He stood out, as he must, And like him, you shone too much If you think you’re a hero, die like one. I told you so, I told you so. (Bridge) And now you want to come to me, And now your living secretly, Away from the seeing eye, You’re just repeating history, Don’t blame me if you die. Just live this time with caution, I’ll make sure you’ll be fine.
Everyone can agree that technoblade made everyone happy and laugh, he fought has hard as he could but cancer took him down, I’m sorry for your loss technoblade’s parents and siblings,fly high king of Minecraft
Here’s something everyone forgets about Theseus. After he saved his people, he became a rotten, disgusting, person. He abandoned his wife on an empty island. He hung out with vicious centaurs. Techno didn’t mention this in the story, of course. Nice touch
YESSSS I’m on call with one of my irl friendos rn, he’s so confused lol Edit: the friend just muted and low key scared because I sang along to it.... BUT THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!! It fits his character so well!! I’d put details but I got another class soon so I must go!
Another edit: this is hours after lol but after I wrote this, he left the call still on mute. Idk if it was because of my voice singing, the talent of the song, or that it was on Minecraft- but I texted him he still hasn’t answered ;-; I’m low key scared again lol
@@haris5923 Still no reply. I texted him again this morning, one of his favorite songs came on so I said "I swear to god ever since we talked about that song (Dynamite by BTS) I've heard it on the radio five times." No response.
I finally got a response, although a short one. It basically said “sorry for ending call like that the other day” so it wasn’t rlly worth the two days I stressed over it but at least I’m not worrying anymore. Thx for those who asked me what happened or those that still check here if anything went wrong. I love this community with all my heart, you all deserve the world.
I wanted to let you know this song is helping me cope with the recent events. you are seriously talented and I know you have done and will do great things. thank you for this gift of closure you unknowingly gave to so many people
"YOU WANT TO BE THE HERO TOMMYINNIT?" "THEN DIE LIKE ONE!" those words give me chills, rest in peace Technoblade, forever in our hearts, you truly never die
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH BECAUSE YOU KNOW- Each time I think about this “you want to be a hero? then die like one” is a very sick way of techno just trying to stop tommy from doing what he does, sick way of protecting I mean, he says it each time, that heroes don’t have good ends...
Thank you for everything Technoblade you truly were a hero, even If you never wanted to be one. You saved and inspired so many lives, you Made so Many people in this world Smile and laugh. And now you are gone. You fought like a hero and died Like one. You took the cancer with you to death. So you didn't lose. We will Always Love and Miss you Technoblade, you will never die in our Hearts. So Put your Crown to Rest and we will carry on your legacy. Loved and never forgotten, Rest in Peace Technoblade 🕊️♥️👑🐷
A crown left behind; tears fell a hundred times. A sword by its side, the voices muttered their goodbye. A few final words in the wind, everyone looked to the sky and gave a sorrowful smile. *Thank you Technoblade, you made our days so much better just by being there. You helped me in so many ways, you were the friend we all needed. I know you've already conquered Heaven and have probably already made friends with Sun Tzu. You taught us the way of the sword, and we will continue to carry your legacy. Thank you once again.*
“If you think you’re a hero, die like one.” That line was said so sadly. In other songs I’ve heard it’s always said kinda angrily, but this feels sad. More resigned. Like Techno had finally accepted that that was Tommy’s fate but didn’t like it. I think I prefer it this way. It feels more real.
I'm Greek and from like 4 years old we are told about the ancient Greek myths and tragedies. So for me, hearing Technoblade talk about Theseus and not Hamilton warms my heart. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
ANOTHER BANGER AS ALWAYS !!! you always get their characterization perfectly -- so many comments have said it already, but you absolutely nailed techno's morals and beliefs. he wants tommy to survive -- by any means necessary.
Due to the way things have been going in the past 8 months, this really hits differently. I have rewatched several times, yet am still finding it difficult to hold back my tears
"Better to die a hero, then live long enough to become the villain."- this is what I believe Technoblade was referencing when he said, "So you think you're a hero Tommy? Then die like one." It was his version of mercy.
'Let me tell you a story Tommy. A story of a man named Theseus.' 'He slayed the minotaur and saved his city. You know what they did to him Tommy? They exiled him.' 'Welcome home, Theseus...'
i love how techno did basically everything he did in manberg simply to warn of what would come. spawning withers, massacring those people, blowing up more tnt. it didn't actually achieve anything in and of itself. it was a show of strength, he never wanted tommy to fail- he was warning them of the unforeseen consequences of their actions, and he warned them in only universal language.
I kinda imagine Techno singing quietly to himself one night when he woke up from one of his deep slumbers. Tommy listening from the basement, as Techno played the violin to this somber melody Philza taking a break from any project he was working on and listening to the melody as it played throughout the base. Almost like a warning. A sad one. Tommy never listened unfortunately And I can imagine Techno kinda blaming himself..
Ooooh man this hits harder than my fathers hate This just goes so well with recent happenings on techno's streams, his concern, acceptation and patience with Tommy, him trying hard to hide him even if he has to say and take the hit of doing things he wouldn't, just to protect him. He still cares, and he never stopped caring, but their ideals clash, their experiences are just too similar,and he doesn't want tommy to go through the same This slaps, I would listen to the song on repeat
I had the tune to this song stuck in my head since waking up this morning, but I couldn't remember the song for the life of me, all I knew is that it was something to do with technoblade. I haven't listened to or watched a single video or song about technoblade since he died. This, is the first one I've watched since that day.. It's just as lovely as I remember it being.
I love this song so much, you somehow made it sound so calm and chill but also the opposite of calm and chill (I forget the word to describe it), and just that is a amazing talent and then YOUR SINGING it is so beautiful, the first time I listened to this song I almost cried because your voice is so beautiful ❤❤❤❤
"And now you live secretly away from the seeing eye" is this?? When tommy live under techno house secretly and away from every one?? Oof- this song is perfect for tommy and techno bond : )
Let techno rest is power, rest in pride, and Rest In Peace He shall remain in are hearts for eternity We all cried millions of tears but we stand strong together to face what ever is a head of us.
I AM LITERALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS It's so unique in reference to other Techno songs(though I love all Techno songs equally.) This isnt an angry song, it's not blood thirsty or spiteful, it sounds mournful. It conveys care and concern underneath the outward smugness and bloodthirsty nature. It really pulls at my heart strings. Your voice is beautiful. Pogchamp. Thank you for coming to my TED talk XD Edit: I also love how he talks about Theseus in the beginning like he was there during Theseus' story.
I just want them all together again, without the war making them any more different or cruel. I've read so many fanfics with so many alternative worlds and endings about the sbi, and I'd always cry for something that happened that was worse than the lore, or better.

BANGER SONG BANGER SONG AS ALWAYS
Time to write an essay:
There are actually so many parallels to be drawn between the legends of the heroes and the story of Technoblade- not even Tommy. Theseus was renowned for his feats, but eventually, right after his peak, he resorted to gallivanting around the world and eventually crossed the line while trying to kidnap Persephone. In the end, his fatal flaw was hubris, just like so many others, but the thing is the character that Technoblade has crafted for himself has the story of a hero, yet his flaw is peer pressure- definitely not a flaw of the ancient ones.
Technoblade is interesting not only because of that, but also because there has never been a clear hero arc- yet we all feel so inclined to believe that he was once a hero before he blew the area up with withers. It's probably most likely due to his recent retirement stuff and everything, but the point remains that from the way Techno writes his speeches, we believe that Techno was once wronged. That being said, you could count his short time on Pogtopia's side to be the hero arc right before things went wrong, but it just kind of feels... wrong when you think of it that way.
(if you couldn't tell already, I'm very clearly a techno apologist)
There's another parallel I find particularly interesting, and that's that many of the greek heroes were betrayed by their family members in some way- Heracles died of poison administered by his wife, Perseus was thrown out to sea by his own grandfather, and Jason died on the Argo, all alone, his two sons stabbed to death by his ex-wife, Medea, who had also killed his to-be bride and his to-be father in law. Techno's been used and betrayed by Tommy, Tubbo and Wilbur, and he thought that Phil had, too. Before December 16th, it's likely that he wanted to remain a loner out of spite, purely just to show the world that he doesn't need the familial bonds everyone says he's tied to.
I've rambled for too long and some of this is probably BS but anyway-

And spoiler alert: it does. Tommy gets exiled, and eventually Techno teams up with him; likely out of knowing he wouldn’t survive a day without help from anyone but Dream.
its a cool idea!
Cool idea
This sounds exactly how I expected Technoblade's Theme would be. It doesn't sound angry or bloodlusting at all, seeing how he even told Phil he doesn't want to listen to his voices, just want to be a good person. He doesn't like his actions at all, portrayed by: It isn't your choice, you were destined to, yet he'll kill you if it's necessary to fulfill his ideals.
I like to think when Techno says “ Don’t blame me if you die just live this time with caution I’ll make sure you’ll be fine “ that he said this to Tommy once when they where kids when Tommy was getting chased by a hound of mobs and big brother Techno comes to the rescue to help Tommy so when in the future when Techno and Tommy’s relationship becomes more distant especially when Techno kills Tommy’s best friend and goes on a massacre killing everybody that they stop talking to each other completely with Tommy thinking that his only other sane brother/Techno has also stopped being the old strict caring brother that he once new and relied on so when Tommy comes to Techno for Shelter and help out of desperation and Techno says these lines that it would hit different for Tommy like give him hope that his old brother isn’t gone but just changed and hope for things to go back as they used to by being a proper family again instead of being separated and hating, using one another.
Also when Techno calls Tommy Theseus a respected hero of ancient lore that he says it in a way of respect for Tommy that he’s proud enough of Tommy for being and doing something that Techno can not by being a true hero and trying to do his best even if he’s going to enviably lose and Techno is proud of who Tommy is and calling him Theseus is a way of him telling Tommy that.
When Techno told Tommy “If you die, it’s on you” the stream after this song got released, I was like “OMG, what is happening”
"To hell with Thesuses, my name is Tommy"

Man this hits way too different now.
Rest in piece king. 👑
Lyrics-
(Verse 1)
I once knew a man back in the day,
He was born by the royal bay,
Either mortal or divine,
He was stronger than his peers,
Helped his people live without fear,
The best his city ever had
(Chorus)
But he feel from his grace,
And now you’re taking his place,
Now you know how heroes turn to one.
He stood out, as he must,
And like him, you shone too much
If you think you’re a hero, die like one.
I told you so,
I told you so.
(Verse 2)
His tale remained for a thousand years
His death was mourned by a hundred tears,
He was honored for his life.
His legacy has reached to you,
It isn’t your choice, you were destined too,
Live the rest of your life despised.
(Chorus)
Coz he fell from his grace,
And now you’re taking his place,
Now you know how heroes turn to one.
He stood out, as he must,
And like him, you shone too much
If you think you’re a hero, die like one.
I told you so,
I told you so.
(Bridge)
And now you want to come to me,
And now your living secretly,
Away from the seeing eye,
You’re just repeating history,
Don’t blame me if you die.
Just live this time with caution,
I’ll make sure you’ll be fine.
THANK YOU
O GOD THANKS
THANK YOU YOU AMAZING PERSON
THANKS WONDERFUL PERSON
I love how this is less violent and resentful than other songs. He just sounds like he’s trying to keep Tommy from becoming another Theseus
My heart is heavy while listening to this rn :( Rest in peace Blade
This song is now perfect after the fall of the king goodbye technoblade
Most definitely
THE NEXT HINT IS BEANIE WHICH MEANS WILBUR SONG TIME WOOO LETS GOO
or quackity, but probably not bc you got a like, but i can dream...
@@ilexdiapason *mexican dream*
WILBOO
IT WAS QUACKITY
@@ilexdiapason IT WAS QUACKITY
fuck this hits way too hard now. I hate it, i love it. He fell from his grace, i just hope someone can take his place.
Everyone can agree that technoblade made everyone happy and laugh, he fought has hard as he could but cancer took him down, I’m sorry for your loss technoblade’s parents and siblings,fly high king of Minecraft
cancer dies when it's host dies, so technoblade never truly lost, therefore technoblade never had lost
Techno Never dies 😔✋ he’s still with us in our hearts
*NOT ME SETTING A REMINDER FOR WHEN THIS PREMIERES WHEN IM IN MY ZOOM CLASSES*
Edit: AAAA I WAS 23 SECONDS LATE

Here’s something everyone forgets about Theseus. After he saved his people, he became a rotten, disgusting, person. He abandoned his wife on an empty island. He hung out with vicious centaurs. Techno didn’t mention this in the story, of course. Nice touch
i was fooled thinking it was a theme, but got baited into a song.
After all the bad things Techno did to the smp or to Tommy, he still cares more about him, then anyone else does in the server...
YESSSS I’m on call with one of my irl friendos rn, he’s so confused lol
Edit: the friend just muted and low key scared because I sang along to it.... BUT THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!! It fits his character so well!! I’d put details but I got another class soon so I must go!
Another edit: this is hours after lol but after I wrote this, he left the call still on mute. Idk if it was because of my voice singing, the talent of the song, or that it was on Minecraft- but I texted him he still hasn’t answered ;-; I’m low key scared again lol
@@caroleisvibing what happened next?
@@haris5923 Still no reply. I texted him again this morning, one of his favorite songs came on so I said "I swear to god ever since we talked about that song (Dynamite by BTS) I've heard it on the radio five times." No response.
@@caroleisvibing That's alarming is he good now?
I finally got a response, although a short one. It basically said “sorry for ending call like that the other day” so it wasn’t rlly worth the two days I stressed over it but at least I’m not worrying anymore.
Thx for those who asked me what happened or those that still check here if anything went wrong. I love this community with all my heart, you all deserve the world.
Gonna miss you so much now that you’re gone big guy, Rest In Peace Technoblade
Hits differently
Thank you
Thank you a thousand for this
I wanted to let you know this song is helping me cope with the recent events. you are seriously talented and I know you have done and will do great things. thank you for this gift of closure you unknowingly gave to so many people
"YOU WANT TO BE THE HERO TOMMYINNIT?" "THEN DIE LIKE ONE!" those words give me chills, rest in peace Technoblade, forever in our hearts, you truly never die
Would love to watch but I got school today and a really big test. Sorry :(
It's okay! Good luck on your test!!! :D
Ha I'm gonna watch this even though my finals are starting in 10 minutes
@@superaws50 oh god its time hope you do well!
good luck!!
@@superaws50 good luck!
Rest in peace blood god, technoblade never dies.
The chat waiting for the premiere be like:
*HUMINA HUMINA HUMINA*
HAHA YESSS
HUMINA HUMINA
HUMINA HUMINA HUMINA HUMINA
This will be very Pog.
Why does it feel like the voices are singing this now...?
We miss you king...
"If you think, your'e hero die like one"
Maybe Techno didn't die like mythic hero, but he was...He IS hero.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH BECAUSE YOU KNOW- Each time I think about this “you want to be a hero? then die like one” is a very sick way of techno just trying to stop tommy from doing what he does, sick way of protecting
I mean, he says it each time, that heroes don’t have good ends...
“All I wanted was L’manberg”
“You wanted Power, Tommy you just did a Coup”
Thank you for the pin! Keep up the great work! Remember to rest too!
Thank you for everything Technoblade you truly were a hero, even If you never wanted to be one. You saved and inspired so many lives, you Made so Many people in this world Smile and laugh. And now you are gone. You fought like a hero and died Like one. You took the cancer with you to death. So you didn't lose. We will Always Love and Miss you Technoblade, you will never die in our Hearts. So Put your Crown to Rest and we will carry on your legacy.
Loved and never forgotten, Rest in Peace Technoblade 🕊️♥️👑🐷
A crown left behind; tears fell a hundred times.
A sword by its side, the voices muttered their goodbye.
A few final words in the wind, everyone looked to the sky and gave a sorrowful smile.
*Thank you Technoblade, you made our days so much better just by being there. You helped me in so many ways, you were the friend we all needed. I know you've already conquered Heaven and have probably already made friends with Sun Tzu. You taught us the way of the sword, and we will continue to carry your legacy. Thank you once again.*
“If you think you’re a hero, die like one.”
That line was said so sadly. In other songs I’ve heard it’s always said kinda angrily, but this feels sad. More resigned. Like Techno had finally accepted that that was Tommy’s fate but didn’t like it.
I think I prefer it this way. It feels more real.
i like how theres hints towards the fact, no matter what tommy does, he will always be, the hero
I'm Greek and from like 4 years old we are told about the ancient Greek myths and tragedies. So for me, hearing Technoblade talk about Theseus and not Hamilton warms my heart. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
ANOTHER BANGER AS ALWAYS !!! you always get their characterization perfectly -- so many comments have said it already, but you absolutely nailed techno's morals and beliefs. he wants tommy to survive -- by any means necessary.
This song hits differently now that he's gone.
“Do you want to be a hero, then die like one!” - technoblade the art of wars
Due to the way things have been going in the past 8 months, this really hits differently. I have rewatched several times, yet am still finding it difficult to hold back my tears
"Better to die a hero, then live long enough to become the villain."- this is what I believe Technoblade was referencing when he said, "So you think you're a hero Tommy? Then die like one." It was his version of mercy.
fly high our king
"Die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villian"
This really will be Tubbo and Tommy, right?
'Let me tell you a story Tommy. A story of a man named Theseus.'
'He slayed the minotaur and saved his city. You know what they did to him Tommy? They exiled him.'
'Welcome home, Theseus...'
i love how techno did basically everything he did in manberg simply to warn of what would come. spawning withers, massacring those people, blowing up more tnt. it didn't actually achieve anything in and of itself. it was a show of strength, he never wanted tommy to fail- he was warning them of the unforeseen consequences of their actions, and he warned them in only universal language.
This gave me chills. Beautiful vocals. Amazing work
Amanda!!!! :D thank you ❤️
@@preciousjewelamor Ofc!
I already know this is gonna be epic, I literally can't wait
Yes you can
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I BEG YOU ANOTHER TIME, WE NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY QUEEN
I kinda imagine Techno singing quietly to himself one night when he woke up from one of his deep slumbers.
Tommy listening from the basement, as Techno played the violin to this somber melody
Philza taking a break from any project he was working on and listening to the melody as it played throughout the base.
Almost like a warning.
A sad one.
Tommy never listened unfortunately
And I can imagine Techno kinda blaming himself..
What could "beanie" possibly mean... is it Wilbur/Ghostbur?
I can't wait for the premiere :D
QUACKITY?!?!
Oh, I didn't think of that! Maybe the person is Quackity!
i can officially say i was here before the premiere
Ooooh man this hits harder than my fathers hate
This just goes so well with recent happenings on techno's streams, his concern, acceptation and patience with Tommy, him trying hard to hide him even if he has to say and take the hit of doing things he wouldn't, just to protect him. He still cares, and he never stopped caring, but their ideals clash, their experiences are just too similar,and he doesn't want tommy to go through the same
This slaps, I would listen to the song on repeat
YES YES YES THIS IS GONNA BE EPICCCC
“If you think your a hero. Die like one.” Probably one of Technoblades best lines ever. :)
Farewell, you are our hero
“Just live this time with caution, I’ll make sure you’ll be fine”
AAAAAAAAAAAA
“If you’re a hero then die like one”
Because you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
i go fuckin feral at “you wanna be a hero tommy? THEN DIE LIKE ONE!” i rewatch the clip soo many times
THESEUS POG AHH i can't waiiitttt
I had the tune to this song stuck in my head since waking up this morning, but I couldn't remember the song for the life of me, all I knew is that it was something to do with technoblade.
I haven't listened to or watched a single video or song about technoblade since he died.
This, is the first one I've watched since that day..
It's just as lovely as I remember it being.
Welcome home, Theseus
hits different now
omg this is absolutely beautiful! i love how eerie the instrumental is and your voice is just amazing!
I love this song so much, you somehow made it sound so calm and chill but also the opposite of calm and chill (I forget the word to describe it), and just that is a amazing talent and then YOUR SINGING it is so beautiful, the first time I listened to this song I almost cried because your voice is so beautiful ❤❤❤❤
The DreamSMP is basically a mix of classic stories cuz i found the story of theseus in my parents mini library filled with old stories
Seeing tommy lose his sanity overtime, this song really hits hard.
This was so beautiful and held a eerie quality I adore!
THE FACT THAT ITS NTO EVEN ABOUT TECHNO IT STECHNO TALKING TOT OMYM OMG
Beautiful spelling man
@@blazekitsune its perfect dude
had stroke reading this :)
"And now you live secretly away from the seeing eye" is this?? When tommy live under techno house secretly and away from every one?? Oof- this song is perfect for tommy and techno bond : )
This didnt age well...
Let techno rest is power, rest in pride, and Rest In Peace
He shall remain in are hearts for eternity
We all cried millions of tears but we stand strong together to face what ever is a head of us.
I AM LITERALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS
It's so unique in reference to other Techno songs(though I love all Techno songs equally.) This isnt an angry song, it's not blood thirsty or spiteful, it sounds mournful. It conveys care and concern underneath the outward smugness and bloodthirsty nature. It really pulls at my heart strings. Your voice is beautiful. Pogchamp. Thank you for coming to my TED talk XD
Edit: I also love how he talks about Theseus in the beginning like he was there during Theseus' story.
Everyone’s crying..
really hope you put these (and the rest of your songs) on spotify someday. they're so gooooood.
Hits different
1:30 now hits differently after Techno is gone
I just want them all together again, without the war making them any more different or cruel. I've read so many fanfics with so many alternative worlds and endings about the sbi, and I'd always cry for something that happened that was worse than the lore, or better.
I love this! I found it from the animatic and am obsessed. Adding to my playlist now
No one:
Not a single soul:

And BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD and HUMAIN

This is by far my favorite by you!
“If you think your a hero, Die like one.”
This hits hard after the recent string of events
Amazing job on the song, by the way!
