Fun fact : the choir in the ashes and blood song is a religious shuriman chanting from a language created for the region of shurima in the lore of League of Legends
1:41 heavy is the crown 4:55 I can't hear it now 8:31 sucker 12:32 renegade (we never run) 15:42 hellfire 19:14 to ashes and blood 22:39 paint the town blue 26:33 blood sweat and tears 30:15 come play
"Heavy Is The Crown", "Hellfire", and "To Ashes And Blood" are all such bangers. The way music elevates the scenes in this show, especially their emotional impact, is top tier.
They've really used the music in an unprecedented way. Combining music video aesthetics with an incredibly written drama to actually communicate story and emotion instead of just for vibes is STUNNING
I honestly see the first verse more fitting for another character. I don't want to name them became spoilers, but let's just say they train with dearest mommy. Doing the right thing for the wrong reason - seeking personal revenge Listening to demons -letting morals go and giving in to darker reasoning Making sure to finish what they begun- I don't think I have to explain this (I hope) But there for sure are some lines for vi in the song. I firmly believe vers 1 is just for that person
@@thethirdbillhe also went viral in the video game world ages ago with “Iron” which was used for the Assassin’s Creed Revelations trailer. And “Run Boy Run” was used in “Divergent.” Woodkid is amazing, you should check him out. 😊
@@shauryasuri3653 Run Boy Run features in the Umbrella Academy now? I've known Woodkid for years and years, all the way back to the Assassin's Creed Revelations trailer he did. He's sooo brilliant. Also check out: his live performance of Never Let You Down with Elle Fanning, Ghost Lights, Iron, The Golden Age, Horizons into battle grounds, ugh he's so good.
You better be watching season 2 with a camera pointed at your face. Your insight and commentary on the first season was so good, you can't let the people miss out on your initial reaction. GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT BILL!
A rewatch of S1 is a great idea. You'll be amazed at how much more story understanding you gain after multiple watches. Every detail is part of the story. Music, images, music, expressions... everything.
A wonderful but subtle line is the use of "Dirty little animals, you cannibals" in Sucker IN REFERENCE TO DIRTY LITTLE ANIMALS FROM SEASON 1! So many layers there
Like how you connected 'Heavy is the crown' to Vi and Jinx, but the song is actually for Caitlyn. Also the fact that you got the context of 'Hellfire' on point, is awesome
I see that it fits multiple people. Having it switch to rock when you know who shows up on screen solidifies for me that this person also feels this way. And I can totally understand why. Also really interesting that, while the rock version is louder, the softer version for Caitlyn is still playing under it. They are suffering together. Both of them in their own way and for their own reasons. We first thought this was "just a song for faker". And yes it fits him too. It also fits Emily and the band (Linkin Park) really well. I'm drifting away from the topic a little bit, but for the band... Moving on after they lost a friend must be hard. And having success without Chester must be hard. So heavy is the crown indeed. Because they have the crown, but it is filled with grief. Just like it is for Cait. And for you know who as well, the person to is grieving over the loss of a family member and their old principals.
@@j_fenrirpeople said she couldn’t replace Chester (no one actually can). But she was getting hate from a lot of people and then the heavy is the crown came out and she gave a big “fuck you. Watch me”
@@keef5 the "hate" from most ppl isn't cuz she's not chester or cuz she's a woman but cuz she's a scientologist. Which many see as a big dishonor to Chester's memory as a survivor of csa and someone who struggled with mental health issues.
Stray Kids is my favorite kpop group and Arcane is one of my favorite shows, seeing them on the soundtrack is SO EXCITING!! And the song is so good, their voices (especially Felix') fits so well with Young Miko, I love it
my favourite part of that song is not the singers, but tom morello. amazing guitarist. i just wished they gave him more time to do what he does best, his part was quite small
Without spoiling it, the scene that Hellfire plays during was more heartbreaking, infuriating, and vile to me than the scenes with more slow and sad music. Somebody very much betrayed their morals (and legacy of a loved one) in an act of pain and rage.
Blood sweat and tears is a preqeul about mels mom, and ties into League's god of death. Kindred, the lamb is a peaceful death and the wolf is a violent death. the vid is about ambessa choosing a violent life and death. passing a spiritual test after being wounded on the battlefield and being chosen by the wolf. during the test she seeings visions of past and future. she was pregnant with Mel during her test and its loosely implied Mel might be a chosen of either the wolf or lamb as well.
would Mel being chosen by the lamb mean she's destined for a peaceful death? I wonder if that could explain how she survived the attack on the council? idk league lore lol
@@sierra3830I think it's implied the reason she survived the explosion practically unscathed is because of the golden armor(?) thing she wears around her neck and also goes across her back. It shone when the missile was about to explode, so it's probably magical in nature.
Just to correct you, I think Kindred is only a death spirit cause there are a bunch more like them, Kindred is just the most popular therefore is worshiped the most, my source comes from Legends of Runeterra which is canon btw
@@acousticks526 My impression was that there is only one death but it takes many forms. Kindred is stately in lore to be THE death. idk Legends of runeterra lore well though so it's probably a new thing
You nailed most of them. Also, can't wait to watch you react to this, because if you thought the first season was rough with all the class disparity, police brutality and so on... oh boy!
rough? like rough to pick who had the best outfit at the peace party i CLEARLY predicted accurately? yeah idk how im going to do with all the happiness and getting along everyone will do in s2 of this feel good cozy comedy
The "Renegade" scene was so good, the song worked so good with the fight as the song got chaotic and Sevika's new arm makes the entire fight chaotic too
What’s crazy is even the like straight up backing soundtrack is super good too. “The City of Progress” “Viktor and the Hexcore” “She’s Back”, all from season 1 and they’re good too.
3:23 BRO this is crazy accurate. I think it’s episode 2 or the end of episode 1 when this song plays and it’s a shot of Cait, Vi, and the enforcers preparing to find jinx.
I could listen to you analyse soundtracks all day. It's so insightful and clearly shows not only how important music is in the context of shows for mood but how it can underline and elevate the story with fitting lyrics.
i loveee how perceptive you are!!! there were so many fascinating takes you came up with based on the music and lyrics alone that really hit quite close considering what does happen!! good luck with this season, i hope it doesn't leave you tooo devastated
Not a cover. It is sung by Emily, the new singer in the band, with Mike (the rapper and also singer of the band). It is comparable to an acoustic version of the song. And I am not quite sure if it was just made for world's. We believed it at first and it was a song fitting to faker, but I think it was planned from the beginning that it would be an arcane song. It's the title of the episode. I think they did what they did with arcane 1.... Playing arcane songs in the world's event.
@@sleeples7852especially with the song track name is called "(Original Score)" it feels like it is for Arcane but Linkin Park wanted to redo it for their album and it also fit with Worlds
May I request more Stray Kids reactions? I'd love a "Trying to Stan Stay Kids" or 2 c: I figured, if you liked "Come Play", you might really like their other stuff! And their fans would love you ❤
Excited to watch this, but just wanna say now -- I would love to also watch your reaction to the show. Especially because your insight is so interesting once you've already pulled apart the soundtrack!
YESS ive been waiting for you to do stray kids for SO long-- youll love them, for sure. theyre so incredibly talented and their music is so diverse and interesting
You give me so much comfort. And all artsy queer folks are having fun again cause Arcane, reminding how we watched yours and Rebecca's and not so average fan girl reactions on TOH.
The musical sequences in Arcane are so great they almost overshadow the rest of the show. It's some of the best animated music videos I've ever seen with an amazing TV show in between them.
I am so glad this video surfaced on my feed. As someone who loves the entire soundtrack and listens to the whole album everyday, it was so interesting how ON POINT you were on their intentions of these songs and how they were used in the show. It's amazing how you went beyond just the lyrics but by melody or the vibe you could almost imagine the scenes without even watching it 👍Bravo
Woah, I rarely see someone sensitive to topics/perspective, as if everything can offend you (I can't tell if it's an act, enjoying it, or actually dislike it, but it doesn't matter). The reactions are very amusing, keep up the good work interacting with the content!
PLEASE DO STRAY KIDS! you're so insightful i think you'd have a lot to talk about with their music. also excited for the arcane s2 reactions cause it's been an insane season so far
The whole soundtrack so far is phenomenal! But omg ..."I Can't Hear It Now" DESTROYED me. Haven't heard it ONCE without crying or at least choking back tears. "Sucker" "Hellfire" "Heavy is the Crown" and "To Ashes and Blood" are also my on-repeat favorites
i should aplogize to the community for delaying the release of the full soundtrack because netflix is scared of me. i will only use this great power with medium responsibility.
I hope you look into The Crane Wives, they're a bit folky but their lyrics are beautifully done. Songs I'd recommend are Curses, Pretty Little Things, Tongue & Teeth, The Hand That Feeds, Never Love An Anchor, or Bitter Medicine.. keep up the good job!
Commenting to do my part to hopefully share in your reaction for S2! Love your stuff man, might not catch everything cuz i too love under a rock, but for the things ive seen i always make sure to pop in. Take your tike going through S2, have your breaks when needed and have a box of tissues handy, this season doesnt pull its punches either.
Omg I was hoping and waiting for your reaction yay! Please react to the actual episodes too! This season is so good so far, I'd love to see your reactions to the plot and everything :D
Lady rock vocals are so cool, right? The band Against The Current and its lead vocalist, Chrissy Costanza, have done several songs with League of Legends that are awesome. The band's music and Chrissy's solo music is all so good. No clue if it'll happen, but it would be so cool if Arcane did a song with them.
It's interesting hearing your analysis of these songs without much context from what happens in the show. Would love to see your reaction to the show itself.
Please do more Stray Kids! I think stays as a fandom would love to hang with you and hear what you have to say about the lyrics, they're my personal favorite group.
This is my first reaction to your video's, absolutely amazing, you're so well versed to the music, I'll definitely be checking out some more, keep up the fantastic work!
Huuuge Fever 333 fan here! I've seen them live a number of times and their energy is always incredible. They make a specific point of shouting out minority groups during shows (and especially calling for more support for black women in the music scene!) It's so nice to see more people discovering them through Arcane. They're a fantastic band who are doing wonderful things with their music I really hope you check them out more
im so so so so excited to see you react to this next season. its already so good, and i think ive seen your first set of reactions like a million times. man im just hype. all id say is dont worry, so far its still just as good, maybe even better then season 1. i mean, its to early to tell story wise i guess, animation wise at least
@@thethirdbill honestly, personally, youre my number one go to channel to watch when im looking for reaction stuff. its refreshing to see someone really honestly giving shows and music a shot and genuinely trying to get invested in them even if they dont know much about them. plus its nice to see a real Actual reaction to big scenes, and not one that feels forced or anything for veiws. or ones that are just "oh wow. didnt expect that." . as weird as it sounds, i get that happy feeling when you scream or cry during a big moment cause i know its raw a reaction happening because youre actually really into it. anyway all that to say again, i dont comment on stuff often but i Am always lurking cuaswe your videos are very good and i just wanted to really try and explain why
I'd love to see you try to stan StrayKids! They ake their own music and the members write the lyrics! They're one of my favorite artists period! I think you'd appreciate their lyrics!
I remember how wowed I was the last time but the way you perfectly describe all the emotional landscape of Heavy is the crown without even knowing who it's about is just a joy to witness!
Your analysis's are everything, they are so good and interesting. PLEASE PLEASE watch the show, i have fully declared the show to be one of the bests I've ever seen. It has exceeded all expectations and from a writing standpoint, it's beautiful.
I would love to see reactions to the show! Your analysis is on point already for some of the songs haha. Season 2 is definitely different from Season One and I’m excited to see how it ends!
Oh nice I was hoping you'd revisit this approach for Season 2. You had so much insight to bring to the songs (then and now) and I think Riot did a great job conveying the feelings and tone of the scenes through them. Also grateful for them spotlighting a bunch of artists I've never heard before. Got really attached to Bones UK thanks to S1 and Fever 333 now. And yeah Ashnikko's a perfect fit for Jinx
@thethirdbill the passion really shows! I liked your reaction to Scott Pilgrim Takes Off's music too! Did that series reaction get copyright struck or was it a "this probably won't get views" scenario?
there's a few reasons... 1) i ignorantly thought it would be just like comics so i didnt film anything at first and was going to just review 2) i needed to take a break due to a gross amount of disturbing ignorant comments 3) my music of video didn't get many views and i didnt think people cared about my thoughts (i liked it a lot, wish they had marketed it as a new story i.e. Ramona vs The World)
@@thethirdbill Oh. Yeah they blindsided everyone with the change of story haha. Wound up being very divisive sadly. Sorry to hear about the shit comments and low views. Also sorry if that was prying too much. Thanks so much for the reply!
Stray Kids were the revelation of the year for me! they did a song for the Deadpool and wolvering soundtrack too called “slash” and i listened to some of their discography and there are some AMAZING gems in it seriously! so underrated
Also- HELL YEAH I WANNA SEE STRAY KIDS ON THIS CHANNEL THEIR WORK IS SO GOOD! They're like %99 self produced and have some very fun experimental sounds, especially compared to other K-Pop groups! My favorite track is MANIAC, tho i think you'd have fun with Red Lights ;3
Was thrown for a loop that there was the live action video for paint the town blue but not the video for heavy is the crown. If that hasn’t been listened to we need a reaction
Always value your impressions & analysis - thank you & appreciate ya, Bill!
Thank you so much robeson for the doantion and kind words! Appreciation right back!
cool
Fun fact : the choir in the ashes and blood song is a religious shuriman chanting from a language created for the region of shurima in the lore of League of Legends
I love how Riot also does reveals in the closed captions. They're geniuses.
And Janna is originally from Shurima, if I'm remembering correctly
@@Formlampit's more like Zaun and Piltover were once Shuriman cities back in the day before they became their own nation.
@Formlamp yhea, and i think it's about janna's bird
Have they confirmed it's actually shuriman? Because I've only ever seen that mentioned in the official video's comment section
You could argue that Silco and Jinx’s little baptism moment was technically a father/daughter beach day
So the "burial" in s2 was as well? we did it!
thats not... sigh... yall dont want me to be happy lol

"Heavy Is The Crown", "Hellfire", and "To Ashes And Blood" are all such bangers. The way music elevates the scenes in this show, especially their emotional impact, is top tier.
Don't forget "Sucker"
@@anitaremenarova6662 probably my favorite so far, and I can't wait to see what's next!

For me: Heavy is the crown, Blood sweet and tears, Sucker, and Ashes and blood are my favorite
@@anitaremenarova6662SO CATCHY 😭😭😭
bro just casually dropped one of the most accurate analyses of vi’s character arc in act 1 i’ve heard so far just from listening to hellfire
have you seen his reaction to season 1 music? he was so spot on with most pf his analysis, insane.
@ yes !! bill is so big brained his music reactions always blow my mind
good music + great storytelling = my little brain go brr :')
It helps that they really just like to blatantly say what is happening in the lyrics lmao
I honestly see the first verse more fitting for another character.
I don't want to name them became spoilers, but let's just say they train with dearest mommy.
Doing the right thing for the wrong reason - seeking personal revenge
Listening to demons -letting morals go and giving in to darker reasoning
Making sure to finish what they begun- I don't think I have to explain this (I hope)
But there for sure are some lines for vi in the song.
I firmly believe vers 1 is just for that person
"Why does Woodkid sound familiar?"
He also did Guns For Hire in the previous season.
THAAANK YOU lol i dont pay attention to my shuffle playlists!
@@thethirdbillhe also went viral in the video game world ages ago with “Iron” which was used for the Assassin’s Creed Revelations trailer. And “Run Boy Run” was used in “Divergent.”

You better be watching season 2 with a camera pointed at your face. Your insight and commentary on the first season was so good, you can't let the people miss out on your initial reaction. GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT BILL!
GIVE ME WHAT I WANT TOOOOOOO lol
When you do Isha's Song,
1. Look up the translated lyric video
2. Bring a box of tissues
When you watch the show, you'll be like "Ohhhhhhhh, that makes sense now".
A rewatch of S1 is a great idea. You'll be amazed at how much more story understanding you gain after multiple watches. Every detail is part of the story. Music, images, music, expressions... everything.
A wonderful but subtle line is the use of "Dirty little animals, you cannibals" in Sucker IN REFERENCE TO DIRTY LITTLE ANIMALS FROM SEASON 1! So many layers there
Like how you connected 'Heavy is the crown' to Vi and Jinx, but the song is actually for Caitlyn. Also the fact that you got the context of 'Hellfire' on point, is awesome
I see that it fits multiple people.
Having it switch to rock when you know who shows up on screen solidifies for me that this person also feels this way.
And I can totally understand why.
Also really interesting that, while the rock version is louder, the softer version for Caitlyn is still playing under it.
They are suffering together.
Both of them in their own way and for their own reasons.
We first thought this was "just a song for faker". And yes it fits him too. It also fits Emily and the band (Linkin Park) really well.
I'm drifting away from the topic a little bit, but for the band... Moving on after they lost a friend must be hard. And having success without Chester must be hard. So heavy is the crown indeed. Because they have the crown, but it is filled with grief. Just like it is for Cait. And for you know who as well, the person to is grieving over the loss of a family member and their old principals.
This is a spoiler tho 😅
"Hellfire" is not about Jinx tho. It's about Caitlyn.
The full (non soundtrack) version of Heavy is the crown by Linkin Park is sick, it has a 17 second scream that's awesome
wow i forgot linkin park is back. thats a weird one to process.
THIS IS HOW I FIND OUT LINKIN PARK IS BACK!??!

Omg I was hoping and waiting for your reaction yay! Please react to the actual episodes too! This season is so good so far, I'd love to see your reactions to the plot and everything :D
Lady rock vocals are so cool, right? The band Against The Current and its lead vocalist, Chrissy Costanza, have done several songs with League of Legends that are awesome. The band's music and Chrissy's solo music is all so good. No clue if it'll happen, but it would be so cool if Arcane did a song with them.
Love the reaction! Love what you have to say! I really want you to see season 2, so I hope it happens. Let’s goooooo episoooooode!
It's interesting hearing your analysis of these songs without much context from what happens in the show. Would love to see your reaction to the show itself.
great thoughts (and you’re getting at a lot of the themes of s2 so far) ! i would love to see reaction vids of s2 whenever you’d get around to it 🤞
Always love hearing your thoughts! I’m so excited for part two and hopefully your reactions to the second season.
Please do more Stray Kids! I think stays as a fandom would love to hang with you and hear what you have to say about the lyrics, they're my personal favorite group.
Yes, please! I feel like you're gonna love them, their lyricism and musical talent is seriously fascinating!!
10:40 Ekko is gonna be the spiderman... Damn, right! Sadly in one of the most painful ways...
13:11 he said that so genuinely lol
i can’t believe after all these years i’m back watching one of your videos and there’s stray kids in it🔥🔥
We need Arcane reactions from you NOW, bro! :D
really interesting getting to see your reactions to the songs before seeing the season itself, cant wait to see your reactions to the actual scenes!!
Blood sweet and tears video (the pregnant woman in the video) is mels mother, the buff warmonger woman from season one, Ambessa.
This is my first reaction to your video's, absolutely amazing, you're so well versed to the music, I'll definitely be checking out some more, keep up the fantastic work!
Huuuge Fever 333 fan here! I've seen them live a number of times and their energy is always incredible. They make a specific point of shouting out minority groups during shows (and especially calling for more support for black women in the music scene!)
It's so nice to see more people discovering them through Arcane. They're a fantastic band who are doing wonderful things with their music I really hope you check them out more
im so so so so excited to see you react to this next season. its already so good, and i think ive seen your first set of reactions like a million times. man im just hype. all id say is dont worry, so far its still just as good, maybe even better then season 1. i mean, its to early to tell story wise i guess, animation wise at least
thanks for watching those! honestly, it's stressful to make videos and that helps a lot!
@@thethirdbill honestly, personally, youre my number one go to channel to watch when im looking for reaction stuff. its refreshing to see someone really honestly giving shows and music a shot and genuinely trying to get invested in them even if they dont know much about them. plus its nice to see a real Actual reaction to big scenes, and not one that feels forced or anything for veiws. or ones that are just "oh wow. didnt expect that." . as weird as it sounds, i get that happy feeling when you scream or cry during a big moment cause i know its raw a reaction happening because youre actually really into it. anyway all that to say again, i dont comment on stuff often but i Am always lurking cuaswe your videos are very good and i just wanted to really try and explain why
that means a lot and genuinely helps right now. thank you :')
I'd love to see you try to stan StrayKids! They ake their own music and the members write the lyrics! They're one of my favorite artists period! I think you'd appreciate their lyrics!
Let's goooo i was waiting for this
thank you for your patience! i said it on the community tab, but i really did need a minute to regroup!
I remember how wowed I was the last time but the way you perfectly describe all the emotional landscape of Heavy is the crown without even knowing who it's about is just a joy to witness!
Your analysis's are everything, they are so good and interesting. PLEASE PLEASE watch the show, i have fully declared the show to be one of the bests I've ever seen. It has exceeded all expectations and from a writing standpoint, it's beautiful.
Love your analysis and thoughts as always! Keeping my fingers crossed we get video(s) for the show reaction too!
They fear your powers and rightfully so
cowards won't give me the full soundtrack... i apologize to the fandom for having to wait for the full album just because of me.
Loved this and would love to see your reaction to s2 as well, the first one was great!
I like Stray Kids Come Play.
SKZ...hands down my favorite.
I would love to see reactions to the show! Your analysis is on point already for some of the songs haha. Season 2 is definitely different from Season One and I’m excited to see how it ends!
Oh nice I was hoping you'd revisit this approach for Season 2. You had so much insight to bring to the songs (then and now) and I think Riot did a great job conveying the feelings and tone of the scenes through them.
Also grateful for them spotlighting a bunch of artists I've never heard before. Got really attached to Bones UK thanks to S1 and Fever 333 now.
And yeah Ashnikko's a perfect fit for Jinx
thanks! yeah tts the music of is my favorite stuff to do! glad you enjoyed it!
@thethirdbill the passion really shows! I liked your reaction to Scott Pilgrim Takes Off's music too! Did that series reaction get copyright struck or was it a "this probably won't get views" scenario?
there's a few reasons... 1) i ignorantly thought it would be just like comics so i didnt film anything at first and was going to just review 2) i needed to take a break due to a gross amount of disturbing ignorant comments 3) my music of video didn't get many views and i didnt think people cared about my thoughts (i liked it a lot, wish they had marketed it as a new story i.e. Ramona vs The World)
@@thethirdbill Oh. Yeah they blindsided everyone with the change of story haha. Wound up being very divisive sadly. Sorry to hear about the shit comments and low views. Also sorry if that was prying too much. Thanks so much for the reply!
Stray Kids were the revelation of the year for me! they did a song for the Deadpool and wolvering soundtrack too called “slash”
and i listened to some of their discography and there are some AMAZING gems in it seriously! so underrated
Also- HELL YEAH I WANNA SEE STRAY KIDS ON THIS CHANNEL THEIR WORK IS SO GOOD! They're like %99 self produced and have some very fun experimental sounds, especially compared to other K-Pop groups! My favorite track is MANIAC, tho i think you'd have fun with Red Lights ;3
PLEASE WE NEED IT!!!
that'd be such a joy to watch your reaction to the season 2!!
Do the show do the show the music is SO well used
click and share! make youtube agree im a good arcane video maker!
You should definitely listen to more stray kids! They write/produce 99.9% of their music and just sold out 15 stadiums in the last week☺️
Waiting impatiently for Part 2 now…. I can’t be alone!
seriously my fav soundtrack of a cartoon
Was thrown for a loop that there was the live action video for paint the town blue but not the video for heavy is the crown. If that hasn’t been listened to we need a reaction
I was surprised by how much i loved Renegade! It's such a bop! Can't wait to see when we get Come Play in the show 👀
