  • I can only find this song in its separate parts, and I love the full song as it plays in Chapter 10! I edited the songs together so it might be a tiny bit different.
    I don't own Over the Garden Wall or anything associated with it! I just wanted to post a cool song.

    I think the creepiest part is that the child voices are probably still The Beast singing, because of all those freaky faces he has I'd imagine he can speak out of any of them being the eldritch horror that he is.

      probably. I mean, he seems to be made of bark that has the wailing souls of dead children trapped within it. So wouldn't put it past him; specially since when he gets mad or desperate he seems to start sounding like multiple versions of himself are speaking simultaneously/ echoing each other.

      the **REAL** creepiest part is contemplating if the children's voices are coming from him, yet are still sentient; that may not just be manipulating their form, but their very being is bound to him, as well... the child's part seems to be "greeting" a new member to their amalgamation. the concept behind a legion or even a minos Grande from bleach also comes to mind.

    The beast was so well done. He wasn't just made as some evil being that's a monster. They made him have a soothing and human voice. At first it seems like he's just a being trying to help with different deals but his true motives are shrouded in darkness like himself. That makes him seem all too human, and all too real.

    • @brandonbevill972
      @brandonbevill972 8 ปีที่แล้ว +94

      the concept is interesting and creepy, admittedly, but I've only found him to be a lowly wrathe, at best. his actions are compariable to some lustful old witch, contracted to far darker powers in order to cling onto some semblance of a life by stealing from the youth of others... the real world bloody Mary is probably more horrifying, since she bathed in them simply hoping something would magically work.
      I've read too much lore for my own good lol, but people have imangined far more sinister demons, devils, daemons, jinn, tortured lost souls, deities, philosophies, and even angelic hands of god, then the beast.
      he's certainly a creepy, twisted creature, but he never holds any true power from what we've seen. that's why the main character kid (sorry, I don't know the story that well) just scoffs at him when he insinuates his investment in some item.
      the genie from Aladdin sincerely holds more power/freedom than this creature. he's still creepy tho lol.

    • @brandonbevill972
      @brandonbevill972 8 ปีที่แล้ว +58

      also, this is all taking into account the darkest possible implications I've seen from him, including useing the children's voices to sing, etc. twisted, yes. powerful? debatable. the most twisted? also debatable imo... the lich king for example actually seems like the more dangerous foe; the beast has an objective and a motive that he must protect, which will change his actions. the lich king, on the other hand, literally exists to destroy and kill, especially if he really is the avatar for nuclear fallout. he can't be reasoned with, while the beast depends on manipulating others to meet his personal motives.

    • @patronsaintofprocrastination
      @patronsaintofprocrastination 8 ปีที่แล้ว +85

      +Brandon Bevill You do raise some very good points! I personally always found that his weakness was the entire point of his character. I think the point of this character was that he is very creepy, but if you do not allow him to get to you, there is nothing he can do. All in all, a dog whose bark is much worse than it´s bite. Something like: "Yes, all along this was what you feared. A complete coward".
      He is dangerous not because of any special powersor great physical strenght. He is dangerous because he is an expert at manipulating others. It´s not easy to resist his temptations and not believe in his lies. His lies are very convincing and he manipulates people into boosting his own immortality all while making them believe that they are, in fact, helping their loved ones. Until the end where he is defied and his lies revealed, this was working pretty well for him.
      My point is: he knows where he should strike. He knows how to use his victim´s love for his own gain. He is weak, sure, but he can get whatever he wants with just his words. He is not the kind of villain that uses brute force to get what he wants. He manipulates. He talks. And I quite like it! He is dangerous because he can so effectively manipulate someone. He may not be powerful but up until the end, his lies proved to be more than enough.
      You did raise some excellent points, though. Always happy to have a debate over a character I like. :)

    OTGW THEORY:
    "Grow, tiny seed,
    you are gone to the tree.
    Rise, till your leaves fill the sky,
    until your sighs fill the air in the night.
    Lift your mighty limbs,
    and give praise
    to the fire."
    This song, sung by the Beast and possibly the souls he has taken in the past, sends a huge message of darkness of the show. The "tiny seed" could be that drop of hopelessness you feel when you are lost in The Unknown. The beast wants it to grow and grow so he can eventually make you apart of his forest. Eventually, when it grows enough, you are "lost to the tree". We see Wirt get "lost to the tree" towards the series' end when edelwood begins growing around him. However, Greg sacrificed himself for his brother so he would not succumb to this fate.
    "Rise, till your leaves fill the sky" could mean how that helpless seed within eventually overcomes you until you are one of the edelwood- growing higher and higher to the sky within the Beast's forest to be chopped down for the lantern.
    The "mighty limbs" may mean your struggle to fight against the Beast (actual limbs), but it's tree limb overpower you until you lose your entire hope and "give praise to the fire". The fire is, of course, a representative of the lantern. The edelwood provide oil for the lantern, and when you, and edelwood tree, are cut down and used for oil, you are giving praise to the fire. The fire of the Beast's "soul" that planted that "tiny seed" of lost hope in you and grew it.
    (Just my theory of that particular part of the song)

    If the Woodsman had ever gone into that tavern, he would have learned the true nature of the lantern and wouldn't have chopped down so many wayward souls. If he had ever gone back home, he would have seen his daughter was alive and well. His isolation and ignorance led him to his actions.

      In a way he did. The Beast's modus operandi is to drive people to despair and Greg refused to give in to despair.

    Well, Over the Garden Wall's the Unknown, is always autumn. That represents a time of getting it together and cleaning up. The unknown is where you go between life and death. The people in the unknown are dead, but the woodsman said "we all have our burdens to bear" referring to probably the people in the Unknown because they died with unfinished business. At the end, everyone is content and finished with said business. So, the pure white, clean, peaceful wintertime represents being released into heaven. Everyone is happy once the wintertime comes. Seems like heaven. That's my theory.

      Lovely Mustache actually i guess that the change from autumn to winter represents the aggravation of Greg's and Wirt's state of hypothermia (once they had fell uncounscious into a lake/river at night). If you watch carefully, the atmosphere in the unknown is constantly turning colder, with the arrival of winter.
      The unkown not only had dead people, but also the ones between life and death (like them). I think that if greg and wirt had stayed there for a few more time they would probably die too, as "winter" had already came when they got rescued.

    The Beast is one of my favorite villains in all of fiction. Unlike regular villains who have powers beyond reasoning, The Beast doesn’t have any sort of powers and instead uses lies and deception to trick people into fueling his simple goal to live to another day. In a way, he’s like us in our world; doing every thing possible to extend our life while also deceiving people in the process. He is more terrifying as a villain in that way because it’s a simple goal, yet he will do what he can to achieve that.

    @roseystudio10 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I think the beast represented death as a whole. And the tree transformation represents a person giving up the will to fight against death, with no hope or point of escaping the forest of beast. While I believe the forest represented limbo in a sense, a place between life and death when going through a near death experience, and finding the hope and strength to leave the forest, choosing to fight against the beast, and refusing to become a tree are the ones that wake up and leave the forest.
    Wart saved his brother from such a fate, by waking up and getting him real life help to prevent it. As Greg was closer to drowning to death than Wart was, thus why the beast caught him and began turning him over to his side as a tree.
    It also explains within the song, a line singing 'when you submit to the soil of the earth'. Symbolizing for burial through death, and becoming one with the dirt and soil, and hypothetically becoming a a seed for a tree.

    • @roseystudio10
      @roseystudio10 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, I figured. I just wanted to put it into my own words. Also, I think Wart staying in the forest, represents what when they can't commit to either. In other words a coma. Until he either because one with the forest, or he leaves, having to accept his brother's date along the way. In other words, waking up or dying.

  • @kleineratte7678
    @kleineratte7678 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    In my opinion the Beast is the dark part living inside ... the one that wants you to give up, to lie down and to succumb to the darkest of depression. Once it takes root, it will keep trying to sustain itself. And it knows you. It knows your motives, it knows your desires and fears because it is rooted inside you.
    Defeating the Beast can only be accomplished by identifying what it wants/which desires you think you might have are yours but are seen through the perspective of the beast (which would be Wirts part) and then ... letting go what holds the roots (which is the Woodsmans part). He even cried when he did it, because it hurt to overcome. These roots go far and deep, so letting go is letting a huge part of yourself go with it.

I don't want my final resting place marked by a slab of concrete in a sad lot full of nothing but other slabs of concrete, I want something large, beautiful, and living to mark where my body rests. Because even if my body is nothing but bones, I'll still be there watching over them while simultaneously having the time of my afterlife. Catch me as a ghost haunting people with memes, screwing with paranormal investigators, helping lost children find their way home, and tormenting assholes like child abusers and rapists until they join me in eternity, only to personally escort them to the lowest circles of hell. Wow that got kinda dark.
    Tldr: I want this song played at my funeral because I plan to have a lovely flowering tree as my grave marker and be a helpful ghost who guides lost children home, and the song becomes very sweet and heartwarming rather than creepy and unnerving if you listen to it with that in mind.

If he doesn't make the elder tree, the oil, his lantern will go out, killing him. Its fun to think of there is anything he could have done differently that would have spared his life but still be moral. I like to think that he's a mediphor for nature, he's cruel but unbiased, he does what he must to servive like any creature would. He really does live up to his name, he is just another kind of beast, powerful but still just a beast.

    A long time ago, I had a dream where I had to cross a lake and get to an island. I would jump in the lake and swim, but I would be dragged under the water. No matter what I did I couldn't resurface and the water would push against me, making it impossible to reach the island. For some reason, I knew I couldn't turn around and go back, so I kept swimming against the current, unable to breathe. I woke up from the dream drenched in sweat, mumbling frantically that I was dying. I was completely delirious. I knew I wasn't really drowning, but I was completely convinced that I was dying. It took me maybe an hour to calm down. I remember lying there, mumbling like a lunatic about how I didn't want to die, my heart racing a hundred miles an hour, my vision fuzzy. Everything about it was horrible.
    I later found out that I had like a 110 degree fever and my mom was considering taking me to the hospital.

      @@blake2521 I don't remember writing this and I don't remember the specifics of the dream, but I do actually remember waking up from a nightmare in the middle of the night and freaking the fuck out thinking I was dying. It's happened a few times but that was the only time I had a fever that I can remember. Obviously wasn't 110 degrees. Probably 101 or something.
      I do remember the sheer panic I had. Completely irrational. It was like waking up in the midst of a panic attack. I got up, turned on the lights, changed my shirt, drank some water, and still after all of that thought I was dying. Like, I wasn't rationalizing it as a stroke or heart attack or something normal. I was feeling pure fear and anxiety. I've had panic attacks before and it was kinda like that. Fuzzy vision, heart rate, all that.

    This inspired me to make an oc based on one of the children turned into edelwood. He was a nine year old boy, Noah, who ran away from home with his dog, Mutt, because he had a fight with his mother and wanted to find his father's house to live with him. Eventually, Noah was losing his way, thinking he to follow the rising sun but not sure anymore. Mutt was doing his best to keep his master's spirits up, urging them farther, but not for much longer. Especially when the boy's food supply ran out. Noah inevitably collapsed, despair creeping in. Despite Mutt's best efforts, the boy would not move. So the dog stayed beside him for days. But as Noah grew weaker and weaker, Mutt knew he needed to leave and find help, or else his boy would die. Hesitantly, Mutt left Noah's side and took off in search of civilization. When the dog came upon a town, unable to get any resident to follow him, he raced back down his scent trail to convince his boy to come to the town. Mutt returns to find the remains of a felled tree where there wasn't before, Noah no where in sight. Terrified and distraught, Mutt sniffs all around the area, confused as to why the tree remains faintly carried Noah's scent. Unable to find him, Mutt begins traversing the entirety of the unknown for years and years. Even after his own death, Mutt didn't stop. Rumors sprouted up of ghostly howls and whimpers faintly echoing through the woods. The story that was assumed was that the dog's master was taken by the Beast, and man's best friend would search endlessly, even if he never found him. When the Beast was killed by the Woodsman, Noah's spirit was freed. Reunited at last, Mutt's hunt was over.

    The Beast represents Satan. Satan is called the beautiful liar and this song fits him so well seeing that the song mimics Holy Night. Satan covers himself in the guise of a savior but in reality brings on death for he hates man for he is in the Image of God. Satan is the false hope who lives in torment and sorrow attempting to bring others into his misery. He fools the woodsman to fuel his evil soul and is desperate to keep the flame alive so that he may see light for he is forever in darkness. Do not feed the Beast, Do not lose hope, Do not fall for his lies

      I'm sure you can make that connection especially since it borrows a lot of symbolism from Dantes Inferno.
      But for me "The Beast" is a feeling, its despair. Though you can use the devil for that analogy to.
      Like the phrase "Idle hands are the devils plaything", people with little to none prospects, self actualisation and feelings of impotency are more likely to do something very stupid.

      Truer words are rarely spoken. There's a life lesson in that, as well as one or two political ones, but no, I won't go opening that old trap-door again. Its been opened enough.

      Chum I personally think the Beast represents various things, one of them being Satan. But given how many references to different mythos and symbolism there are in this show, I'd say the Beast also represents depression, and death itself.

    This is a true representation of a literal human shadow. He is literally a shadow. Only when its fire of despair and nothing that consumes and traps the souls is extinguished and only when light comes on it it burns him. Only when it is extinguished, then it is submitted and defeated. When it is looked in.give yourself to despair and lose your fire, then you are burned, you become one with the soil, oil for the fire, fuel for animosity and hell. And as a shadow, when you put light on it in the darkness, you can't see it without becoming petrified of what you are.
