[ULTRAKILL] Hear! The Siren Song Call of Death // "Flowers for Death Machines" Piano Arrangement
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- Some parts of the original composition reminded me of waltz - a reminiscence of peaceful days, accompanied by howling sirens and militaristic triplet rhythms. Despite the whole thing (not including the intro) being written in a duple meter (6/8) I think certain parts do capture that feeling. A melancholic waltz being played by someone who wants to find rest in the sound of melodies long forgotten.
P. S. Whoops, looks like I put the old name on the picture. It's okay I guess since Hakita forgor the original song name and made a new one?

“Mother, Mother, Mother of me…”
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
_"I know, I know I should not miss you so, but mother of me, I do."_
God this actually almost made me tear up...
Motha motha I I.. then it hit me, you was molested
@@Eggyteevee Your pained breaths that rasp'd and reverberated in your rusted iron tomb...
The hidden Gutterman diary in 7-2 reminded me of a quote about the film The Iron Giant, directed Brad Bird, whose original pitch for the film was this: What if a gun had a soul, but didn't want to be a gun?
Throughout the game it has been hinted that the machines are truly self-aware beings. From V2's mannerisms before dueling with V1, to the terminal entry of the Mindflayer implying they take pride in their physical appearance, and the P-2 terminal implying that even the terminals themselves may experience boredom or excitement. The Gutterman's diary outright confirms this, by showing that it felt pity towards the tortured victim trapped inside its coffin, being drained of their blood for eternity to power the war machine, with it eventually resorting to ending the person's life out of sadness. The machines are not only alive, but they are also capable of complex emotions and deep thought on the same level as humans.
This brings me to what I find most interesting of all: the Earthmovers. Their terminal entry describes how after the Final War had concluded, thick ash from the debris of crumbling cities blotted out the sky, causing the Earthmovers to slowly die off one-by-one as they could no longer generate electricity from the sunlight. This begs the question: if the machines we see in the game are coming from the surface to invade Hell, why are the Earthmovers down there with them, if they should be dead? It's because they are.
I've seen people speculate on this, theorising that the Earthmovers were brought down to Hell while they were still alive for its entertainment, but to me the real answer is quite clear: The Earthmovers are as alive as you and I, and for the horrific destruction they brought about during the Final War, they were condemned to Hell and judged for their sins after death. They are husks, just like the countless human fodder we slay throughout the game. They were seen as acts of violence against God himself, and so they were sent to the White Desert, a.k.a. violence against God, Art and Nature. This is why they are held down by the roots of the Trees of Suicide, and continuously fire at one another for eternity, undamaged due to the shields that protect them - this is their eternal damnation, fighting forever amongst themselves just like the other human sinners in Violence. This may be what Minos describes as he mentions the crimes committed by the machines against mankind, as he himself was likely given the burden of judging the machines as they were condemned to Hell. And if the Earthmovers were seen as crimes against God himself, perhaps the very idea of these monstrosities capable of such devastation is what made him leave for good.
Sorry if all that rambling wasn't well written or interesting, or if you've seen many people say it before.
Woah :0 Violence layer is so complex, I love these litte theories, thanks for sharing!
OOOH, the connection of Earthmovers to Dante's 7.3 layer is so on point! God damn, Hakita really did think of everything. Bravo Arsi
Well, the benjamins have actual flesh in themselves, brains even. It wouls really make sense that mankind eventually built machines not only capable of thought, but also of having a soul of their own
I'm pretty sure it was said that machines don't have a soul and don't go to hell, but idk. They definitely have feelings tho
@@danielhanna19 I have since found that out too, but I can't possibly understand how the Earthmovers got to Hell if that's the case.
The final call...echoing throughout the world. Nothing remains...just the Ashes of their world...
This was the only way it could have ended.
Hi it's been 6 months since you wrote this comment but I just wanted to let you know that this makes me feel a very interesting way, and this comment is a really good addition to this song. Also, have you ever played Outer Wilds' DLC, Echoes of the Eye? This comment resonates with the core story of EoTE in almost the exact same way and I'm curious if that was intentional. If so I LOVE DOUBLE ENTENDRES!!!
There's something so utterly fucking soul wrenching about the phrase "This is the only way it could have ended" it was predetermined. No matter what happened before, this is the ending that would be reached, No other choices, no chance of something different.
If ultrakill had an epilogue, heck, a cutscene where you just go back through hell from the very bottom to the top, and a walking simulator, but this time everything is painted with blood, and the corpses you left on your path laying down, I can totally imagine that playing, showing how you purged everything that crossed your sight.
No more war, no more death, no more blood to be spilled, only rotting remains. Every being who before walked through hell was free of their suffering called life. Now there are no more sirens playing the song of death.
All while V1 is slowly running out of fuel... I have no idea what Hakita the madman is going to show us in the future updates but I'm sure the ending will bring tears to my eyes
(I want to pin this comment so bad youtube please let me do that)
theres a theory that the puppets in 7-3 is where sinners that somehow died are turned into, meaning that the sinners that V1 killed are still in hell, remember that in hell the privilege of death is rare.
@@cheddarmeddar "In Hell, the privilege of death is rare." goes CRAZY
@@cheddarmeddar uh 7-3
@@ivangivorachederfritzdanha4276 my bad just now say 😭😭
Mother, mother... Mother of me,
I know I know I should not miss you so, but mother of me, I do. Your pained breaths that rasp'd and reverberated in your rusted iron tomb... The blood of your breast that nourish'd me and warmed me in its caress, when corpse and cruelty were all I witnessed...
Hakita's writing is
is a war machine that's responsible for thousands- if not millions- of deaths more human than its creators when it seeks even the most basic redemption after discovering the cruelty of its own design?
After a War Without reason, you realized that making The World Look Red was only a trick to make you Hear! The Siren Song Call of Death, with that comes a Danse Macabre.
It was truly a war without reason
This should be way more popular than it is
1 month later: finally a substantial amount of views and comments that this video should have
The fact that you actually liked it is more than enough for me to keep going. Thanks!
A requiem for humanity.
Oh, the irony. Tried to play as gods, and yet were felled by their own creations. Beings never meant to be, individuals who never asked to rise from the forge. And yet here they stand, doing their creator's will still.
Hear now, heaven, hell and Earth, the siren song of the machines. Death calls for all.
god i beg make more this is literally one of the best (if not the best) ultrakill piano remixes
Ahh, thank you! I'll certainly continue making war without reason arrangement once I'm done with my bachelor thesis

Glad you liked it, thanks!
Beautiful. Heart-wrenching in its oh so fragile peacefulness. This piece is the rain which falls upon the carnage, slowly but surely cleansing the remains, 'till even the mere memory is dead (and this arrangement being, too, the ode which plays for the world -- a memory, the very last). The way it gets more violent as time goes by, in such slight and tiny 'steps', and yet still sounds like peace incarnate, is so well-done -- it feels like an anxiety which is finally coming to an end. I hope more people will view and listen to this -- you absolutely deserve so much more with the way you did this.
What I value the most about music is that it can take you somewhere else mentally. The fact that you and other people are sharing their impressions is the highest compliment for me. I can't even describe how thankful I am
This is hauntingly beautiful, you know in a good way. Just feels, so hopeless......
"As the icy winds of treachey howl into the dark abyss of this purgatory the smell of blood and iron linger in the air as there lies a mountain of bodies, mangled limbs, mechanical and organic alike and there stands a lone machine atop it having snuffed out the remainder of this worlds life no more fuel no more suffering, no more....This is the only way it couldve ended"
Anyhow great video you have here
Simply beautiful... Thank you!
thanks heathcliff, very cool.
Thought this was NieR for a moment, so this is super touching and well done. Thank you
"... the pages of the book are blank. But you already knew that. Regardless, this is all that's left now. Just a single flower at the bottom of Hell. Do you feel accomplished? You did what your brethren could not. You killed the last remnants of humanity itself."
"You even got the Hand of God, and by extension, the heavenly council. I hope you're happy. Now there is no more blood. And the gates of heaven will forever remain safe from your mechanical wrath".
"Truly... the humans who built you were mad men compared to those who constructed the ones before you. We thought we saw the peak of human ingenuity and cruelty... yet you rose to the top. Yes, you may not have been as horrible as the ones that inspired the Mannequins. Yes, you may not be as durable as the Panzerfausts after them, Yet you had one thing that made you outclass all of them."
"... you were built to never fail. Your makers tenacity was their undoing. And now... it has been the undoing of the world."
"But what do I care? You were entertaining. By far the most entertaining out of all your mechanical brethren. To think a simple machine like you, one that hasn't been active for more than two days... rose above all of them. I suppose that was your purpose though. Awaken and destroy the titans of steel."
"... now take one last look at the sun. It may be the last of the light you will see before you run dry. I can't say this is easy for me either. You were my favorite entertainer. However, all things must come to an end. Even Hell itself."
*_"... now go forth my champion, and go out with a bang."_*
Magnificent 🔥✍
hits harder than a guttertank before the nerf
damn 🔥🔥 Thank you!

My god i love this cover so much. It's almost like it's own song and totally devoid of the song it's based on, until you can hear the similarities. God it's so good. It's amazing. If i learn how to play piano one day then i sure as hell want to learn this song.
Thank you very much! That's pretty much what I'm doing, I'm trying to show these songs from a different angle, glad to know it worked well. Best of luck in your future endeavors!
The Thumbnail art is lovely, and fits perfectly with this amazing arrangement!
I'd say the title should have been "Weep! For those who had yet lived"
aside from me recognizing the LABS glass piano and absolutely losing it over that I really liked this. good cover
Thank you very much~ It's one of the Analog lab's presets actually, but bruh I'm struggling with those. I've tried a bunch of different presets but none of them feel right for me and I'm just sticking to what sounds okay for a certain piece at least
@@v0idhost thats fair - gl with your future pieces
Taint, the purity of innocence
Wallow, the futility of violence
Blood, Tears, Sweat, all shed
Witness, Watch, See, the Fell
All will mourn, in the dawn of the bell.
My first thought when seeing the thumbnail was: "Is that the bliss flower from farcry 5?"
Found out about this just now and yeah they do look similar lmao
and when the lamb opened the 5th seal...
I might one day try to learn this :) Such a nice transcription of the original
I absolutely love the og song, becase it's so sad and nostalgic, while still being agressive, but THIS, this could make someone cry, I love this so much, this really confirms that robots dream of eternal sleep, PLEASE keep doing this, I specially love the last part, oh and you earned a sub.
tl;dr: ❤️👉🎵😭👍
The original song is perfect, a nostalgic melody trapped within the sounds of war much like humans and machines being caught in the endless cycle of violence... I love layer 7 so much I can't express it in words but I'm trying to do it in music. Thank you, thank you very much!
u make me cry with this beautiful song
very nice music to read with
as someone who's into heavy metal like gojira and mastodon this is very calming and I love it
might be one of my most favourite ultrakill piano covers. great job!!
God, I love that drawing too much :000
На мое удивление, спокойная версия слушается гораздо лучше, чем во время боя
Хотелось бы услышать другую музыку в таком же исполнении
Спасибо автору ❤
Ещё каверы обязательно будут, спасибо!
Oh god that's beautiful. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words!
i love this a lot, really pretty arrangement, makes me think of a quiet late night in a city
By far the best piano arrangement of an ultrakill ost I’ve heard, which is quite a lot of them. Also the artwork is very simple but pleasing I’ve had it set as my desktop background for a while now 🖤
Many thanks! Also, since I didn't post thumbnail art anywhere, I decided to put high resolution version of it into the sheets folder (link in the channel desc)
Amazing arrangement, amazing title!
kinda makes me wish 7-1 ("AND THE GARDENS SCREECHED LIKE VIOLINS") was a garden level, with these flowers growing tall all about.
you might introduce flowerlike demons that start passive kinda like the mannequins, maybe even a boss.
Just a silly idea, not like there will ever be a fan level of it with this song
Thanks! Oh yeah I would like to see a custom level that kinda mixes together the ideas and visuals of 7-1 and 7-3. Flowerlike demons are a neat idea, a shame that we probably won't see anything like this in-game cuz the whole garden/forest stuff is exclusive to the 7th circle of hell
holy hell how did you come up with that level name its so fire
@@borggeddude I forgot lol, pretty sure I copied it from something
@@Enderman83 REGARDLESS THO THAT IS STRAIGHT FIRE
i NEED this on Spotify
Never used spotify, no idea how to upload it
Imagine this... after eliminating everyone in hell. A kind of cinematic happens where we go back to all the previous levels until we reach the intro level... and return to the surface, and find a dying Gabriel... watching the sunset.
g: hello, v1. this has been a long journey. don't you think?
V1: I think so
G: Oh... you can talk, as always with surprises
G: I know you're about to die too.
G: How curious, the only 2 beings in this universe, about to die by our own will
On the horizon you can see the trail of a rocket... its roar can be heard faintly, and only the glow of its exhaust can be seen.
V1: Well... I guess it won't be today.
G: thanks, v1
V1: thanks why?
G: for making me see reality
Can totally imagine this being the ending if only v1 could talk...
ive just recently finished the music school, but was invited to go there for one more year, and ill get to actually choose the piano pieces ill want to play. this is definitely the first one im gonna learn.
Much appreciated! Good luck and enjoy playing the music you like

There's no blood left in hell. . . . . .
the fire is gone.

After the death of god,
After the death of life.
Here's just you,
Covered is enemy's blood.

But definitely emptied.

The supreme machine,
Artificial end of the hope.
Human made path to the gone.
Do robots dream of eternal sleep? Constantly used with such little care, taken for granted, when they go on low power, do they wish their user forgets about them? Uses them for all a false purpose, only to forget? And when their owner comes back with the charger, do they cry? Does the mesh of 1s and 0s leak from the headphone plug? Do they ever have more of a purpose? Is that what they want? But disregards. It's just a "silly little thing", so overpriced. The only way it could, would and should have ended.
if you make more piano covers about ultrakill please consider The World Looks Red and Order
i'd love to hear a piano cover of that song! :^)
I thought about pairing The World Looks White & Red and doing it in parallel with The Death of God's Will. It's risky to take two projects at the same time but I have ideas for both songs, although the pace I'll make these covers in will be different. Expect TWWR coming out first I guess
Hmmmmmm.......... Indeed
That's a like and sub right there
Also on a side note i really think this calming and hopelessness in this arrangement really fits the style to what comes in treachery
Amazing work btw❤❤
@@Maurice_Of_Wisdom I really, really look forward to the treachery update. Ultrakill's story is a very simple one, but the storytelling, music and visuals are what make it impactful, and I'm happy I can express my experience with this game in some way... Thank you very much!

"War no longer needed its ultimate practitioner, It had become a self-sustaining system. Samsara of sliced tissue and crushed bone."
This track feels beautifully futile in the same regard this quote does for me. All your actions up to this point have been essentially survival, you're the meteor crashing to earth not because of some divine decision on behalf of a malignant god, but because earth happened to be in the way.
