Thirty-fifth song in Volume Five of Homestuck. Support the musicians! Buy the album here: homestuck.bandc... by Erik "Jit" Scheele and Michael Guy Bowman
I find it almost scary how Jane's land is so desolate. She's such a chipper, cheerful girl. I felt the same way when I saw Jade's land as well. It makes me really paranoid that something's going to happen to them.
I find it interesting that this song shares a name with a song from Undertale, which was made several years after this. Knowing that Toby Fox is a long time member of the Homestuck team, as well as the creator of Undertale, it makes me wonder if any part of this song was borrowed for the Undertale track of the same name. Perhaps something just barely audible. Considering the fact that the unused Homestuck song "Patient" would eventually get remade into Undertale's "Another Medium," I don't doubt it. Either way, it's pretty neat. Btw, I'm in both fandoms and I am in no way an Undertale fan attempting to invade the comment section. I just wanted to put my thoughts into a comment. That's what comments are for, correct?
I know this is a 4-year-old comment, but it's very likely. There's a video of him playing piano with Jit, and he requests "Ruins". At first, I thought he was joking about his own song but the more I think about it, the more I'm certain it's this song he wanted to hear. It sounds at least a bit like UT's Ruins was inspired by this.
THis song makes me thing of glass hallway, which you have the choice to walk through, or leave at any time. SHould you stay however, through the glass you will at first see nothingness, then the explosion that created the universe. EVerything would rush by, eventually stopping for you to see your own planet. HEre, severely sped up, you will see the rise and fall of every civilization that existed, that contributed to your existence. YOu will see all their sacrifices, all leading up to and speeding through your life. YOu will watch as the universe collapses upon itself, watching the ruins that each civilization left behind for the next, all destroyed within a heartbeat.
Yes, but the song was present on this album about a year before Jane was even introduced, and definitely years before she entered the medium and explored her planet. This has been a longtime favorite of mine and I was so excited to hear it used in a flash in comic
okay imma be real i took a gram and a half of shrooms a few hours ago so i'm in a really good place right now and i was singing this song to myself in the shower without quite remembering where it was from. lo and behold, after about half an hour of curious searching, i found this and all the memories flooded back. it may seem silly, but i know i'm not the only one who holds treasured memories of the comic. it got me through some really difficult times, and i ended up seeing the end of it with some of my most precious friends by my side. that was right before a lot of shit went down and we all went our separate ways (on awful terms, i might add). we've gotten back in contact since then and rekindled old friendships, but damn. those were simpler times. ♥
Maybe, just maybe, she could hold on a little longer. A little longer, to say goodbye to her friends, to tell her beloved one that was how she felt. A little longer, so she could she the crystal blue sky rotate around her world. A little longer, to prepare herself dipping into the Dreamland. A little longer. So she could savour life, the taste of breath and warmth on her tongue. So she could finally fade away in peace.
I understand feeling great about knowing about the many great pieces of Homestuck before Undertale ever became a thing, but what point does it serve to feed the false sense of superiority? Not that I mean to instigate any negative feelings or whatnot, I'm just rather curious.
It's not that, it's just that when Undertale fans find a video even relating to Undertale slightly (Megalovania, the Lordling, Killed by BR8K Spider) shit rains down and Undertale comments flood the comment section, and no actual comments relevant to the video are even seen anymore.
@GrychoFilms Several songs throughout the albums have bits of this in it. Ruins, Doctor, and Sburban Jungle seem to be the most popular ones to throw motifs of into other songs as the series goes on (though plenty others, like the Chorale and Stab Walk Stab, get plenty of play as well), and with good reason as they're very good at evoking a certain emotional weight in the proper context.
No but there is a cool version probably based of this called play the wind It's pretty sweet Or I might be thinking of awakening I don't remember which
Dtskang21 Undertale doesn't belong in this video, and before you say "Oh well Homestuck invaded other fandom's videos" that's not my fault is it? But it is your guy's fault that these specific Undertale comments are in here. We can't get rid of what already has happened,but maybe we can stop it now. Seriously, it's annoying.
well for me, yeah. the only thing I'd be able to hear is like, my footsteps. And maybe my heartbeat if I sat still long enough. Anyone _watching_ would hear this.
My land would be the Land of Cottages and Wax. It has, like, honeycomb patterned skies, endless grassy fields, and cottages with nostalgic consorts everywhere. I have no idea what its theme would be like, though.
Wait. Is the Ruins melody by Radiation, or Jit/Bowman? As far as I recall, Alternia's psych0ruins predates other incarnations, and it's credited to Radiation. But it's hard to keep track of who wrote what in Homestuck music.
Some of them overreact, I can't blame them completely though, 'cause there might be more cringy UT fans, much much worse then us, who tarnished our reputation far enough that some HS fans would react before we even say a word (?) That generated more hatred among UT fans towards HS fans, then more hatred among HS fans towards UT fans, then much more hatred from both sides to each other...
Цијанид The HS Fandom gets on the UT fandom because there are a lot of people who give do so much to make homestuck just like Undertale, HS just wants their own fandom.
I was listening to this song while I was asleep once. I was the Warweary Villein in a dream bubble. I was commanding the combined army and all four of the kids were with me. We were all going to take Noir, my army was going buy the kids enough time to defeat him. The closer we got to our objective....the more focused I became to make this sacrifice count. I found out exactly why everyone died in the end of that time line at the end of the dream.
I'm not sure about writing but this one was released a year earlier than Awakening on bandcamp. Funny to find such a recent comment actually, I came here because I was trying to remember where the leitmotif in Awakening came from lmao
D --> this song is beautiful and should be more appreciated. Even an underb100d would appreciate this song. Everyone must listen to this song. Do as I say, I command it.

Raka Sarkar You know... you were right :'v
you predicted the future
and now in the epilogues
@@noblexenon2147 yup, theyre both homophobs
-not porygon- homophobes? I know Jane is a huge xenophobe, but what did Jade do that was xenophobic or homophobic?
This is the single most beautiful and emotion evoking piece in all of Homestuck.
nope, it’s definitely this one th-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/w-d-xo.html
this song saved my crops healed my family and cleared my skin
This is my favorite motif.
Like, ever.
i'm convinced this song has healing powers
IM SORRY BUT THIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL AND MAKES ME FEEL FEELS ABOUT HOMESTUCK ENDING

@Mallory Oakes yeah i dont think he made every track but i have toby-itis, when i hear a good song i check who its made by

This sound is so tangibly cool and damp, I can almost smell it.

WOW.
love that username
This is the Jane exploration theme right? That was out 6 years ago? Man, Homestuck is old.
The song used for Jane's first exploration Flash is "Rain", which uses elements from this song.
SJGster The second Jane exploration flash uses this piece
Bull's Eye, Alex, hitting the point just right, like the Jade in your profile pic ;)
Yes, but the song was present on this album about a year before Jane was even introduced, and definitely years before she entered the medium and explored her planet. This has been a longtime favorite of mine and I was so excited to hear it used in a flash in comic
You mean 9 years right
I heard this in Eternity Served Cold.
exo tic I love soundtracks.
I love your username
okay imma be real i took a gram and a half of shrooms a few hours ago so i'm in a really good place right now and i was singing this song to myself in the shower without quite remembering where it was from. lo and behold, after about half an hour of curious searching, i found this and all the memories flooded back. it may seem silly, but i know i'm not the only one who holds treasured memories of the comic. it got me through some really difficult times, and i ended up seeing the end of it with some of my most precious friends by my side. that was right before a lot of shit went down and we all went our separate ways (on awful terms, i might add). we've gotten back in contact since then and rekindled old friendships, but damn. those were simpler times. ♥
ruins are just remains of those times they were new
Maybe, just maybe, she could hold on a little longer.
A little longer, to say goodbye to her friends, to tell her beloved one that was how she felt.
A little longer, so she could she the crystal blue sky rotate around her world.
A little longer, to prepare herself dipping into the Dreamland.
A little longer.
So she could savour life, the taste of breath and warmth on her tongue.
So she could finally fade away in peace.
Am I the only one getting a Hollow Knight vibe?
Hollow knight was the first thing I thought of when I heard this
no
doesnt have a hk vibe imo. its too melodic i'd say
shit me too
Yeah, I get that vibe! But idk if it really fits, I agree with Geese. I also hear "inside the mirror" from Celeste a bit.
does anyone else hear a faint humming?
Could be the reverb of the of the strings.
sorry.. that was me.
Well could you tone it down, its a bit loud and I'm trying to watch something.
Ruins+flare=solar voyage
This song is so powerful.
When you thought that all "ruins" lead down to undertale lmao
I think this would be someone's theme in Friendsim
How does this song only have 4200 views? It's worth at least 10 times that much. And by that, I mean, it's amazing!
DeathMachineDAS Welp, now it has almost 100000 views, so... wish acomplished? xD
Now 230,000!
This is one of my favorite homestuck songs ever
Is it just me, or does this track make you question reality?
Oh thank god there are no Undertale comments here.
I understand feeling great about knowing about the many great pieces of Homestuck before Undertale ever became a thing, but what point does it serve to feed the false sense of superiority?
Not that I mean to instigate any negative feelings or whatnot, I'm just rather curious.

If the Undertale comments were toned down a bit, I would be fine with it, but now it's just downright annoying.
REGISORD
Granted. I'll say the same can happen with most things, but you're right.
You broke the chance
Oh god why
This song has a similar feel with Koven - Petrichor, and I'm loving every single second of it.
@GrychoFilms Several songs throughout the albums have bits of this in it.

6th song I've encountered while randomizing a playl8st with all of the homestuck music
The 8 is in the wrong letter!!!! D8
Is it possible to have a jam that's slow and depressing? Because this is my jam.
So is there a version of this WITHOUT strings?
No but there is a cool version probably based of this called play the wind
It's pretty sweet
Or I might be thinking of awakening
I don't remember which
Pizaz azaz Yeh, I've heard both and they're great. I just really wish there was a piano only version of this song. Is so good.
+Davie Jones I guess you could say, one with no strings attached. Sha-zing!
Jon Newland -1
+Davie Jones but the piano is a string instrument
This song is in Do You Remem8er Me and it's so sad ;-;
its also in eternity served cold
If anyone mention UNDERTALE in a HOMESTUCK song.
Then It will RUIN my life.
i'm sorry for making that pun
Now a SKELE-TON of people are gonna comment on this
loLK Tay Komeij with Homura chan i hate myself lol
Guys please, just stop, can I enjoy the song without this horrible crap?
Vriska Serket how are we ruining your "fun"
i mean
we just made an undertale trash stuff
Dtskang21 Undertale doesn't belong in this video, and before you say "Oh well Homestuck invaded other fandom's videos" that's not my fault is it? But it is your guy's fault that these specific Undertale comments are in here. We can't get rid of what already has happened,but maybe we can stop it now. Seriously, it's annoying.
This song really makes me want to learn how to play the piano.
May be a remix of part of Sburban Jungle
This music should play when you delete your save data on a game or app
this sounds like either hollow knight or celeste. i can't decide
I got a fallout vibe
The vibe is definitely there
this didn't have to go so hard but it did
Shit....I just thought, how fucking awful but EXACTLY like Hussie would it be to make the entire thing just be a Jade Dream?
*[Undertale comment]*
[AUTISTIC SCREECHING]
This is my land's song. The Land of Silence and Mirrors.
Hen Barrison But... It wouldn't be silence then :'v
well for me, yeah. the only thing I'd be able to hear is like, my footsteps. And maybe my heartbeat if I sat still long enough. Anyone _watching_ would hear this.
Hen Barrison Oh, ok... If that land is mine, I would put an mp3/mp4 in my sprite... It would be cool ^^
My land would be the Land of Cottages and Wax. It has, like, honeycomb patterned skies, endless grassy fields, and cottages with nostalgic consorts everywhere. I have no idea what its theme would be like, though.
my land would probably be something like "The Land of Tyranny and Death" due to my god tier
Очень красивая композиция!
Я не знаю, что такое Homestuck (и не собираюсь читать этот веб-комикс), но музыка здесь очень классная!
reminds me of Laputa/Castle in the Sky
now i want to watch a miyazaki movie and try really hard to understand it's theme and all that mumbojumbo
Wait. Is the Ruins melody by Radiation, or Jit/Bowman? As far as I recall, Alternia's psych0ruins predates other incarnations, and it's credited to Radiation. But it's hard to keep track of who wrote what in Homestuck music.
yes! found it! this is the one on a flash pretty much after where the story goes when this album came
1 month later, Hussie delivers.
It's so good it HURTS
Holy fuck, so beautiful ahhh
I miss mama Torie-
***oops, wrong fandom***
*WHY DO PEOPLE HATE ON UNDERTALE FANDOM LIKE I SEE NO UNDERTALE REFS EXCEPT MINE HERE FUCK*
Some of them overreact, I can't blame them completely though, 'cause there might be more cringy UT fans, much much worse then us, who tarnished our reputation far enough that some HS fans would react before we even say a word (?)
That generated more hatred among UT fans towards HS fans, then more hatred among HS fans towards UT fans, then much more hatred from both sides to each other...
I'm on both sides and It mostly comes down to acknowledging the fact that the biggest audience HS has is that of the main characters: 10-20 years.
Цијанид The HS Fandom gets on the UT fandom because there are a lot of people who give do so much to make homestuck just like Undertale, HS just wants their own fandom.
does anyone hear a mother remix?
I was listening to this song while I was asleep once. I was the Warweary Villein in a dream bubble. I was commanding the combined army and all four of the kids were with me. We were all going to take Noir, my army was going buy the kids enough time to defeat him. The closer we got to our objective....the more focused I became to make this sacrifice count. I found out exactly why everyone died in the end of that time line at the end of the dream.
The pictures were released by BlueTea on his Twitter, not on Reddit
A friendly clown welcomes you to LOCAH. It appears he wants to be your guide.
Let him be your guide?
They were on reddit too. I saw them there.
Is this the remix to Awakening or the precursor of ther motif?
I'm not sure about writing but this one was released a year earlier than Awakening on bandcamp. Funny to find such a recent comment actually, I came here because I was trying to remember where the leitmotif in Awakening came from lmao
I'm crying goddamn.
Is it bad it reminds me of Majora's Mask?
NO!
Irene Gomez Gutierrez :?
+Diana Saucedo (Kawaiiest Potato) >:D

+Diana Saucedo (Kawaiiest Potato) (:B
@ZaronXirion Dave's animation songs are pretty popular too, for the record.
*plays haunting piano refrain*
An Aradia bot brown with rust lain against the ruins of her home on Alternia, slowly slipping from reality all the while. That's what I see
@gentlemanvaultboy This, exactly. It's like a theme for the exiles.
this reminds me of a strange combination of Blade Runner and Miyazaki films, probably most notably Laputa: Castle in the Sky
Reminds me of that one track from Laputa.
Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou
This makes me think of FRINGE.
Can I just marry this song? Learn it and love it forever? Is that a thing you can do?
The more I hear this song, the more I think it could be from a telenovela... lol
This song is my ROOTDestiny.
Hes not?
All of my feels.
Just fucking take them.
does anybody have the sheet music for the piano on this song?? i can't fucking find it anywhere! and it's SO frustrating

+IHAVENOCLUE wait what??? what flash

i mean i guess it's not REALLY a flash? as in video? but same difference.
IHAVENOCLUE Oh, fair enough! Didn't get to hear music in the walkaround flashes so that's why I didn't know.
@thenewgeogzm
Yeah, I'm from FP.
I don't know you though, sorry.

ROOT disbanded a while ago.
