@@Teri_Merii_ same. I knew the end of the trailer sounded familiar, and so I went back and got hyped because I was legit looking for that song not too long before

Hey can someone please tell me what instrument/synth/whatever this is starting at 0:19. I'm desperate I hear it in so many songs but I don't know what it is.
funny how the longest ticket to ride variation is for the car that you spend the LEAST amount of time in.
Every other car had increasingly annoying puzzles.
This is just "hey marsti can you move?" "oh sure -___-"
@@Her_Imperious_Condescension really, the only annoying puzzles (for me) were the teal and engine cars
@@audiomanwithaudioplan964 oh my god dont even remind me of the teal/jade car
ha
@@audiomanwithaudioplan964 God, what about the blueblood car with the fucking fetch quests. Fuck that car. All my homies hate the blueblood car.
That Piano is there to remind you that _he's still watching_
Huh
Personally it's more of a reminder that he is
Already here
But yeah that works too
;-;
Reminder: Use the hint function whenever you need help... or just want to talk.
But he's already here
Guess he never left after all . . . Not sure if that's a blessing or a curse.
You have no idea how many times I replayed the act 2 trailer for this song
hELL yeah
True
Saaame!
Me too

Everyone say thank you Taylor Swift
thanks taylor
This was music in the scrapped 3-D version trailer of this game!
I thought I was the only one who noticed :0
I noticed when the launch trailer came out
@@Teri_Merii_ same. I knew the end of the trailer sounded familiar, and so I went back and got hyped because I was legit looking for that song not too long before
it was so long since I watched the original 3d trailer
Those piano notes at the end have me on edge bc of that motif
I’m sorry I don’t think I get what the motif is.
@@dewotm8 it's Lord English's theme
@@okavara3833 ah I figured it was ether lord engrish or something to do with hiveswap
it's not really close to lord english's theme, it's similar tho.
@@BamsyTheSergal you’re right it’s different, I think they changed the notes so it would fit with the song better
As someone who haven't read Homestuck, nor played Hiveswap, this song is a total banger
As someone who has read Homestuck, yet has to play Hiveswap, this song is a total banger
@@IdaeChop the conversion
@@IdaeChopLMAO
@@IdaeChop Character development
I always play this song on public buses,it has that same feeling
Especially if it's full of people
I like to do it more in trains
@@EvertonPinwheel ooh that's better. I don't have trains where I am from
@@starrykailani :(
i wish I had gotten to hear more of this than the jade car theme
hiveswap (derogatory)
same
Fact : this is the same leitmotif (B and C theme) as Service car from hiveswap friendsim
Service car is also Shell Game in hiveswap act2
That bass at 5:35 _slaps_
Bro, this song goes with so many songs.
Friend Like Me, Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, Without Me, etc.
filthy nuclear bunker 2
Ugh hiveswap music is so swag 😭
At 6:24, you can hear the piano start to play Joey's theme.
kinda wish rust bloods got more rough and coarse sounding songs. just like the rust blood track from act 1
Bruh traveling to this is soooo coool
i freaking love this song
hey Wheatley, could you make a single video with all the train tracks compiled in order?
now that I’ve watched some friendsims, I understand the Act 2 characters so much better now
i learned how to do the swing for this song on piano. took a lot of practice but i got it down.
Damn, he is already here.
this goes hard.
Such a bop
This would make an excellent electro-swing so
It already feels and sounds like an electro swing tbh
Literally one of my top favorite themes of act 2
woah already?
gaming
This REEEAKS of James Roach
But it's Toby though
@@clone1496 no James did the rustblood car and purple car
Toby did the gold/olive car and jade/teal car
Toby and James did the blueblood car and the conducter together
at the time of commenting, u have *699* likes. congrats!!!
2:13 5:16 Yellow
yo listening to this on 0.75 is great
ik someone already said this but...Ya like jazz?
This kinda reminds me of Hotel from undertale because of the baseline and it’s use of the game’s main motif
well yeah that's toby fox for ya
@@justemma5313 this one was entirely james roach
@@kellis9351 James "If I hear the word leitmotif one more goddamn time" Roach
