So far, the story goes like this, In Chapter 1(Hiding in the Blue), the empire of Arcadia have been overrun by a demon invasion and our Female Protagonist survived and took refuge in a sky island. She was a soldier in the legions, who fought to defend her home but ultimately lost the war. Distraught over the destruction of her home, she reminisce her past life in Arcadia and the adventures she used to have. Now, she has waited day and night for a Hero to take her home. In chapter 2(Arcadia), from the music, the title and the background, it looks like our Female Protagonist is having flashbacks of her past life with The Hero in Arcadia, her home. (But to maintain continuity with chapter 4, i think it would be safe to assume that they are also going to someplace offscreen.) In Chapter 3(Pride and Fear), our Female Protagonist narrates the history of Arcadia. Once upon a time, Arcadia was a vast and highly prosperous empire. People revered it's glorious legends, and upheld the peace. But greed, pride, and fear slowly started to grow among the people. Eventually, the peace started to fade away, as no one was left to uphold it. Later, Arcadia got invaded by demons ( perhaps to collect the wealth the empire and the people hoarded due to greed). The demons ravaged the lands and now, Arcadia has become a ruin, haunted by the souls of the people who lived here. In chapter 4(Upwind), from the title, music, and background, it is understood that The Hero and our Female Protagonist has arrived in place which looks a 'Sky-port', and is seen boarding a sky-ship. As the ship is armed with cannons, it is highly likely that they are planning to use sky-ships to take back Arcadia. From the background, it also seems that they are parting their ways, and the hero is going to someplace. In Chapter 5(Our Song), the hero has left our Female Protagonist and went to war.( the background of chapter 4 is also indicating this plot-line.) She is now holding on for the hero and is waiting while singing their song. ( the lyrics "... da da da da da..." could refer to the tune of the song they used to sing together. This also indicates that she already knew the hero before chapter 1, which was also hinted in chapter 2.) Now, the seasons have passed and winter has come. She is still holding out for him. Whenever she misses him, she wishes that the hero would wake her with a kiss.( This indicates that they have a close relationship with each other.) In Chapter 6(Violet Sky), from the lyrics and the background, it is understood that our Female Protagonist has left the place where she and The Hero had parted ways. Now, it seems that she is going back to Arcadia, her home, to join the war. The lyrics "This is getting heavy but I carry on" indicates that ,despite the odds, she is continuing her journey. The background indicates that after reaching Arcadia, she has witnessed a colossal demon. In Chapter 7(Warbringer), it is seen that our Female Protagonist is going inside a Colossal Mech, that is, a robot.( This could indicate that the demon she saw in chapter 6 is also a mech and she has noticed it.) Now, it seems that she plans to use this colossal mech in the war for Arcadia. The lyrics also point out that our Female Protagonist and her allies had suffered enough and is bringing the war to the demons. In chapter 8(Fire), from the music and the background, it is seen that there is going to be a battle between our Female Protagonist's mech, which is the robot she found in chapter 7, and the colossal demon, seen in chapter 6 ( which could also be a mech, hinted by the electric-like currents flowing through its chest). In Chapter 9( Love it when you hurt me), from the background, it is seen that an epic battle between Our Female Protagonist's mech and the colossal demon mech is undergoing in the ruins of a city, which I think is Arcadia. Both the mechs look quite damaged from the battle. ( I can't quite make any accurate summary from the lyrics, but I have two theories regarding the lyrics. First one is that our Female Protagonist is thinking about her beloved, The Hero, during the battle. Second one is that the lyrics signify some connection between The Hero and the colossal demon mech she is fighting, that is, he is the one controlling the demon mech. In that case, he might be bewitched or cursed and doesn't know that he is fighting his beloved. Our Female Protagonist might be aware of this and perhaps she is also trying to free him from his curse. The second theory makes more sense, as there are two mechs, one controlled by our Female Protagonist, and the two halves of the lyrics are sung by a male and a female singer, suggesting that the second mech might be controlled by The Hero.) In Chapter 10( Let Love Win ), from the background and the lyrics, it seen that the battle between our Female Protagonist's mech and the colossal demon mech has finished, with both the mechs lying heavily damaged on the ground. In the aftermath of the battle, she and The Hero is standing on top of the mechs ( which also indicates that it was him who was controlling the demon mech). Now, she is asking him not to give in to the "sad machines" and to the " TV screens" ( which indicates that there are greater antagonistic forces at play) and let their love for each other prevail (which indicates that he was indeed brainwashed) . She is still having "Fevered dreams", that is the flashbacks, and here in the ruins of Arcadia their home, she is asking him for another moment of endearment with him, no matter where it would lead them.
Per the lyrics in Chapter one, she sings that she has made a prison in her mind, I would agree that chapter two is a prequel, or a fantasy, which she made up in her head.
...What? He occasionnally experiments, sure, but for the most part, his songs have a very distinct and also similar style. They certainly don't all sound unique.
To TheFatRat: I know you will probably never see this but I just want to express how much your music means to me. Throughout my journey with anxiety, music is the best means I have to calm myself down. And your songs have helped so much. If you choose to do nothing else ever, just know you have affected one life for the better ❤
Dude I was just chilling watching videos when I randomly started humming and I searched it on hear and holy crap this is awesome, it reminds me of the old final fantasy games or pokemon
I really don't suggest driving for years. Where are you going to get fuel? From some kind of moving fuel tanker on the highway, like an airplane refuel but for cars?
Can't wait for more chapters to come! this is probably the highlight of my summer all because you and RIELL are making music together! Thank you both for making this!
@Minh Hoàng Đức sorry, I think I misguided you indirectly somehow. It won't be JSaB type of game, or even any rythm game. It will be similiar to Mount and Blade, but major characters would give you various quests and in those quests there would be that music, like character theme songs. Edit: I have technical side of the project almost done in Unity, now waiting for my PC upgrade so I can continue my work.
Updated album lore/story theory summary: For Upwind: In TheFatRat’s own words at today's Q&A: "The man is leaving the woman and going to war.... Leaving her and not coming back." In Hiding in the Blue, (Chapter 1) the female protagonist with a sword is now floating above the clouds to seek shelter from the mechanical spiders who tried hunting her down in the past. It is revealed that she was a soldier in the rebellion's efforts against Heaven's giant machines that invaded planets in the Arcadium galaxy, ravaging her home planet of Arcadia. In Arcadia (Chapter 2), Laura is together with a loved one on her peaceful home planet of Arcadia. This is the same person she was mourning the death of in Monody. This is a flashback prior to the disaster that is about to occur, ruining the planet with the arrival of an orb in… In Pride and Fear (Chapter 3), the second part of the flashback which started with the song Arcadia, the once beautiful and prosperous planet of Arcadia suddenly is met by the arrival of the mysterious orbs. Those controlling the orbs give promises of peace and a bounty of something in exchange for something "owed" (possibly natural resources), but the promise is never kept, as they never "planted or sowed". The orbs also have the ability to instill certain emotions, like pride, fear, and greed into the people of the planet. Eventually, Arcadia becomes empty and abandoned, haunted by the souls of those who died from the demons and monsters sent by the antagonist. In Upwind (Chapter 4), the third part of the flashback which started with the song Arcadia, a navy is formed to fight back against the orbs by those who are aware of their threat, Cape Guy (different from Hoodie Man/Chris) is now leaving to enlist. Sword Girl is saying goodbye to him for the last time, since she is not on the deck of the ship. Also, note the definition of “Upwind”, according to Oxford Languages via Google, which is “in the opposite direction to that in which the wind is blowing; against the wind”. In the artwork, Cape Guy is literally moving in the opposite direction to the wind (as evident by the direction his cape is flapping against the clouds), or upwind. The ships are war ships since they are equipped with weaponry.

Mechanical spiders? could you give a reference where it's mentioned? Bcuz if it's correct, then I think I might hv seen a mech spider in Stronger. Edit: I'll bet you it's the same spider. The woman has the same sword she had in Hiding In The Blues
Man imagination becomes limitless when i listen to these songs, thank you for these works of art. I have so many storyline adventure , fantasy ideas to try thanks to him
Don't forget "MAYDAY" or "Monody". And if we include songs where said female protag is not in the thumbnail, but it is hinted that she is the singer, then there is also "We'll Meet Again" and "Fly Away", maybe even "The Calling". This is not a new character guys, nor is it a new story, we're just finally getting a solid source of information concerning the specific events and order of events.
its a term from sailing I think. upwind means to sail in a direction fairly close to "into the wind" while a sailing boat cant sail directly into the wind they can get pretty close. on the other hand sailing "down wind" means to sail in the same direction as the wind.
@Alpha Omega Epsilon Sagittarii I can tell you with some confidence, as an RYA accredited competent crewman, experienced dinghy racer and working towards yacht master that the term is (at least here in the UK.) Upwind. Referring to high wind would be too easily confused with talking about the weather state. I have never played any of the final fantasy games so I couldn't comment there.
@Alpha Omega Epsilon Sagittarii I see where the confusion lies. that refers to wind speed yes, upwind refers to course relative to the wind, to sail upwind meaning to sail close to the direction the wind is coming from. (you cant sail directly into the wind, but dependant on rig design and trim you can make about 30-40 degrees off-the-wind which is to sail close-hauled or "upwind") sorry for the confusion!
honestly this gotta be my most favourite album yet, all the songs are so damn good i basically listen to them on repeat (even thou it's only 4 up to now)
@@sbrl Chris said in one of his Discord Friday talks that this lore is completely apart from the original, even if it uses some elements, the story is different. Just by checking the main character, you see these are different stories
This is incredible! I remember this from your production streams a while ago. It’s so awesome hearing these familiar tunes finally released! Now I come back every Friday to hear another banger…
A true leader is needed. But what is a leader? A leader is honorable! A Leader WILL give himself to protect even the weakest amongst him. A leader will never Lie. A leader would give his life to save his sibling. A leader is Humbled before God....
I have made a discovery!! So you know the song “Close to the sun” by TheFatRat? Well, the female protagonist in the story of this playlist is the SAME person as the female character in the background of the song “Close to the sun” they’re both red heads and both wear blue ish warrior outfits, and they both have a blue sword! (The blue sword we see next to the girl in the background of hiding in the blue) Edit: look closely at the background of "close to the sun" you'll see the structure of the town that we kind of see the pride and fear (at least the top) we see the monster mentioned in "Hiding in the blue" and we see the ship that will most likely be in "Upwind"
Glad to see more of the people realise this, Also here's a cool fact, "Heaven" is the name of the guy who sends the spider that we see in "stronger" and "close to the sun" (This was confirmed by TheFatRat in his discord QnA)
I love how this all tells a story, and it's not just these new songs alone. I recognize the girl and the skyships from 'stronger' 'close to the sun' and 'chosen' at the very least so I am stoked to learn more about this world and its lore. Keep up the great work, everyone involved on this project!
how to tell when someone is a insanely good music artist. they make what ever the heck they want and enjoy it....thats it if you enjoy it take pride in it i can clearly see thefatrat takes pride in it as he keeps making more awesome music
this song sounds like it could be the music for the lyrics from "Hiding in the Blue" like ex. "I'm alone you on my island" has a lot of places that it could be fit in this song
Essa música, desde o primeiro instante, me trouxe uma vibe bem única, todas as músicas do TheFatRat me trazem essas vibes, cada música parece um experimento, e eu acabo adorando cada uma. Como eu decido uma favorita quando eu amo todas elas?
*The Bass Dropped So Hard, That: TheFatRat Became Thin, Alan Walker Stopped Walking, Dirty Palm Became Clean, And House Nation Became Mansion Nation. But. THIS IS AMAZING SONG! 🤟🤟🤟 Much Much Much Love! Christian! 😍😍😍*
@@christinemichelle8452 F, i do, and he´s sayin: TheFatRat: Uploads new PARALLAX CHAPTER Me: this part of my life is called... joyness It´s a Spanish meme so u won´t understand it essentially
She was hiding in the blue, now she's about to be riding in the blue! This is awesome, I love this, and I guarantee I'll love the upcoming pieces as well! Well composed, great music man :D
The beginning reminds me of things like The Legend of Zelda, How To Train Your Dragon and Harry Potter. The entire song just makes me feel like going on an adventure, fighting monsters, discovering new lands, just living in a fantasy world. Laura's vocals also add another level to that. By far my favourite song from TheFatRat.

Good job, but I think chapter 2 is a prequel to chapter 1. She’s remembering the happiness that she used to have with the “hero” in Arcadia.

The passion you and your team put into those Masterpieces is something that I hope you'll never lose :D
wow this song is beautiful i love it
everyone here talking about "Close to the sun" but y'all forgetting about "Stronger", which literally has the female protag on the cover as well
I was gonna say, did nobody remember that???
I noticed that. She’s just so small.
Don't forget "MAYDAY" or "Monody". And if we include songs where said female protag is not in the thumbnail, but it is hinted that she is the singer, then there is also "We'll Meet Again" and "Fly Away", maybe even "The Calling". This is not a new character guys, nor is it a new story, we're just finally getting a solid source of information concerning the specific events and order of events.
never have i ever seen someone tell and actual story in an album like this and I love it this could be a whole show or game straight up
If we’re at the the height of the clouds, we’re “up the wind.” That makes sense
its a term from sailing I think. upwind means to sail in a direction fairly close to "into the wind" while a sailing boat cant sail directly into the wind they can get pretty close. on the other hand sailing "down wind" means to sail in the same direction as the wind.
@Alpha Omega Epsilon Sagittarii I can tell you with some confidence, as an RYA accredited competent crewman, experienced dinghy racer and working towards yacht master that the term is (at least here in the UK.) Upwind. Referring to high wind would be too easily confused with talking about the weather state. I have never played any of the final fantasy games so I couldn't comment there.
@Alpha Omega Epsilon Sagittarii I see where the confusion lies. that refers to wind speed yes, upwind refers to course relative to the wind, to sail upwind meaning to sail close to the direction the wind is coming from. (you cant sail directly into the wind, but dependant on rig design and trim you can make about 30-40 degrees off-the-wind which is to sail close-hauled or "upwind") sorry for the confusion!
Haha I have the feeling to hear FTL soundtrack in background from 1:22 to 2:07 ! And a bit of Apex sounds too. Great song as always !
I love how there’s a story behind every song
Hey, I hope you enjoy this one

When the song has you moving a mere 5 seconds in, just prepare to dance till the end. This is a good example of that.
Thank you man for existing, sharing the beauty

Let's take The Fat Rat to 6 million before all these chapters end. He's the best music composer out there.
He's the best ofcourse
Yes

already sharing it with my friends, even though it hasn't come out yet.
The ships look exactly like the ship that appears in Close to the Sun.
They look the same, but are from different stories
@@jcrack_5 Are you sure? I think Close to the Sun might be in the same universe as this track?
They're not different
@@sbrl Chris said in one of his Discord Friday talks that this lore is completely apart from the original, even if it uses some elements, the story is different. Just by checking the main character, you see these are different stories
@@jcrack_5 Oh, neat. Good to know! Thanks for clearing that up.
What is this? A song or what.. This is legendary.. Hats off to fat rat..
Idk how all of his songs are just so different from each other yet stills hits
1:15 this part seems slightly inspired from Oxygene II by Jean Michael Jarre....
BTW Great job TheFatRat!!!
Came to the comments section to write this (although I would say it appears more than "slightly" inspired).
This is incredible! I remember this from your production streams a while ago. It’s so awesome hearing these familiar tunes finally released! Now I come back every Friday to hear another banger…
A true leader is needed. But what is a leader? A leader is honorable! A Leader WILL give himself to protect even the weakest amongst him. A leader will never Lie. A leader would give his life to save his sibling. A leader is Humbled before God....
Bro, I can't describe how bloody AWESOME this song is, I've listened to it like 5 times already, the beats in the start are just too good
the finger snaping and the clapping fit in so much👌👌👌
People only wait for the sequels for movies..
Thefatrat: hold my tea....
Hey I hope that you will enjoy this..

One of my favourite songs. Do more songs like this!
It's hypnotic! Just want to listen it without stopping,feeling like it doesn't have an end or destination point.
I'm putting dis precious thing on my "Party Song" playlist! Nice work@
This is the most underrated song in the album
Upwind and Hiding in the Blue are my favorite so far, can't wait to hear what's next :D
Idk why this Reminds me of the old days when i used to listen to the spectre....
I love ur melodies 😇😁

Nice melody
Upwind❤️❤️❤️
I have made a discovery!! So you know the song “Close to the sun” by TheFatRat? Well, the female protagonist in the story of this playlist is the SAME person as the female character in the background of the song “Close to the sun” they’re both red heads and both wear blue ish warrior outfits, and they both have a blue sword! (The blue sword we see next to the girl in the background of hiding in the blue)
Edit: look closely at the background of "close to the sun" you'll see the structure of the town that we kind of see the pride and fear (at least the top) we see the monster mentioned in "Hiding in the blue" and we see the ship that will most likely be in "Upwind"
We also see the monster in Close to the Sun in Stronger.
@@marleywizard1 Is that directed at me?
Glad to see more of the people realise this, Also here's a cool fact, "Heaven" is the name of the guy who sends the spider that we see in "stronger" and "close to the sun" (This was confirmed by TheFatRat in his discord QnA)
@@alisachu.mp3 ohh 😮
I noticed that to
So underrated
The will be certainly good; Your themes are great and all songs are a masterpiece.
I missed the premiere glad this was the first thing when I refreshed
I love how this all tells a story, and it's not just these new songs alone. I recognize the girl and the skyships from 'stronger' 'close to the sun' and 'chosen' at the very least so I am stoked to learn more about this world and its lore. Keep up the great work, everyone involved on this project!
how to tell when someone is a insanely good music artist. they make what ever the heck they want and enjoy it....thats it if you enjoy it take pride in it i can clearly see thefatrat takes pride in it as he keeps making more awesome music
He never makes me disappointed.
He always did, and I believe him.
You have no clue how big my smile was when I started listening.
This is so beautiful and the sounds are perfect. Still can't stop smiling 😁💜💜
These animated scenes just keep getting cooler, and the music fits excellently alongside them!

I keep saying “this song is sooo good” but what I mean is, “TheFatRat’s music is supremely excellent, nothing less than stellar.”
At this point i don’t have to doubt if the next song will be bad or good because all of them are more than that, the songs are magical.
Hey, I hope that you will enjoy this one.
th-cam.com/video/Geu7cfQstF4/w-d-xo.html
I love this! Can't wait for the next chapter!!! Who else is impatient?
this song sounds like it could be the music for the lyrics from "Hiding in the Blue" like ex. "I'm alone you on my island" has a lot of places that it could be fit in this song
Hey, I hope that you will enjoy this one too.

Absolutely beautiful

Ufffas aquí vamos de nuevo a esperar 👀💕
:3
No me gusta esperar
Essa música, desde o primeiro instante, me trouxe uma vibe bem única, todas as músicas do TheFatRat me trazem essas vibes, cada música parece um experimento, e eu acabo adorando cada uma. Como eu decido uma favorita quando eu amo todas elas?
Eu, quando escuto qualquer música dele. kksksk Incrivel. He is very amazyng
@TheFatRat
You took it to another level
All I can say is that since my childhood Fatrat kept me going. I don't know how someone can be this gifted. I hope to be just like him.

The middle of the song sounds like it comes right out of the old transformers show. The FatRat is doing awesome things!
She was hiding in the blue, now she's about to be riding in the blue!
This is awesome, I love this, and I guarantee I'll love the upcoming pieces as well! Well composed, great music man :D
I love it so much! I COULD FEEL THE RYTHUM INSIDE
very epic
So, this is the start of our girl to fight back against those demons.
La melodía es tan mágica 🥀, TheFatRat sos un crack, saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴
I think your'e the crack
The beginning reminds me of things like The Legend of Zelda, How To Train Your Dragon and Harry Potter. The entire song just makes me feel like going on an adventure, fighting monsters, discovering new lands, just living in a fantasy world. Laura's vocals also add another level to that. By far my favourite song from TheFatRat.
I've listened all chapters and this is the best for me.
