Interestingly, the point where you see this song performed in the game, you can't understand the subtext yet. This is really the highlight of the game, IMO, the first boss battle, the way this song becomes more electronic and synthesized as you fight the boss.
Zenith Yeah, me too. But not as much as I love the story, of course. Royce Bracket just became my favourite antagonist of all novels, books, movies or games.
Zenith Yes, technically, but in the the game, and my first playthrough, TBH, it all flows together. You see the cutscene, you fight Sybil, three different songs but it's pretty fluid. I didn't realize We All Become was a separate song until I couldn't find it in the Backdoor (hadn't unlocked all tests). And, it's still at a point in the game where the subtext doesn't yet make sense. :)
god, even years later every little scrap of art from this game cuts through me like a knife. listening to this song is like standing on a blizzard-swept mountain
Is that fan art of Red? I don’t remember that image from the game. Very well done. I love how her mouth is hidden by the microphone. Even while singing it hints at her voice being stolen.
@@MyraSlokov No such thing as too much animal crossing lol. My only regret is that the island names don't allow enough characters to call it "Quarantinetopia" or "COVID survival zone X274"
For me... is a great game, simple, addictive and the design is pretty awesome... everytime I listen this song it's relaxes me and I want to play the game again... is a beautigul game! By the way... LOVE RED!
I'm pretty sure not. Towards the end, you get that final news article where the newswoman is saying everyone left alive has gathered at the edge of the city and they are waiting for the end. Then the articles cut off...
Honestly, the games story is pretty poor, told pointless ambiguously with no payoff that made Bastion so great. The soundtrack was the games real only highlight.
***** The thing is, the game spends so much time trying to be ambiguous, while failing to explain anything outside directly telling the player. All in all, about a total 30 seconds and three paragraphs of data file text tell you 90% of the games plot, lore and universe, and tell it with no ambiguity. The game managed to spend the majority acting ambiguously only to somehow leave no ambiguity in the entire game, leaving simply a basic world and a simple plot. Its clear the game simply took hallmarks from other games that tell stories ambiguously, such as Dark Souls or Shadow of the Colossus, and thought if it overused their techniques it'd make a ambiguous plot. The thing is, theres pretty much nothing left unsaid from the few parts where things were stated directly. The ONLY thing left unsaid is why everyone is in a digital world, which the game never hints on. Because of this, the game is told 'pointlessly ambiguously' because it tries to do that, then forgot that when you do a story ambiguously, you have to let the player think, which the game utterly fails to do.
***** The 'transistor' is a digital piece of software. The entire game is set in a digital world, before and after the process. Its stated so many times in the game it isn't funny. They constantly say it in every artist backstory. The process was made after it. If its also something else, there was no transistor to stop it because the transistor is simply a bunch of data.
***** I wasn't confused anywhere. The problem I had was they were trying to tell the story in an ambiguous way, and you can very easily tell this by how everything was written, then ended up ruining ANY point to this by just explaining the whole thing anyway, The BIGGEST issue I have with the game is its method of story telling, which is surrounded by this need to try and be ambiguous, and simply makes a shitty plot even more shit. I doesn't help the game also has horrible pacing, is absurdly short and has a twist revealed so suddenly with no build up that I barely even realized what the fuck just happened when it did.
***** I'm saying, theres nothing wrong with telling a story like that. What matters is that you do it well, and you keep to telling it like that. Transistor didn't do either, and it crippled it in my eyes.

We All Become One doesn't play when you fight Sybil. In Circles plays, and then it's corrupted counterpart _n C_rcl_s. :v
Zenith Transistor. The only place where each song has an alternative counterpart.
Johan Rott I love the corrupted counterparts

Really creepy song in context with the games story
I'm pretty sure Red is singing about the process in this song.
Ya think?
Not even just the process, but becoming consumed by it. Becoming 'one' and heading to the country.

When I saw this comment pop up I seriously thought you were talking about Redd from Animal Crossing.. i think I need to lay off of the game

@@MyraSlokov So do you have a link to the artist of the picture?
@@Smithington_ Jen Zee does the artwork for Transistor, she is the art director for Supergiant Games :) Have a Google and youll be led to all her work

This bring warmth in my heart :')
BEST. SONG. IN. GAME.
For me... is a great game, simple, addictive and the design is pretty awesome... everytime I listen this song it's relaxes me and I want to play the game again... is a beautigul game!
By the way... LOVE RED!
This song is amazing
I actually never played the game, but I love listening to the whole OST.
:(
The whole game is as beautiful as the OST , every single aspect of it
I love this song.
Was there anyone left in Cloudbank besides Red who wasn't processed?
Idk, I recently just finished it. Tbh, I don't think there was.
I'm pretty sure not. Towards the end, you get that final news article where the newswoman is saying everyone left alive has gathered at the edge of the city and they are waiting for the end. Then the articles cut off...
going around in my head. This could last a week. ear f_cK3d!
sad game story... leaves the player blanked and trapped on the eargasmic music.

Only took 10 years for to be able to listen to this song with out crying, maybe I can play the game again?
Here from Audica. I feel like I knew this song before I heard it, but I don't know how. Never played Transistor or heard of it before now.
Thank you for nice lyrics.
There are two bodies, two kingdoms. Which will you become one with?
Great video!
The best fucking song of the year... Transistor it's GOTY
awesome
THIS song is just you know what it says to you what else need be said.
Hey Myra can you make The spine with lyrics on screen like this one. Pretty please
I'll see what I can do about that :) Most likely yes but as to when, I'm not sure
And here it is:

I wish this games' vocal songs could surpass metal gear revengeance songs. They're pretty good though :)
VIOLENCE BREEDS VIOLENCE
Humans Breeds Humans
The voice-crack singing is pretty much my only problem with this song. Otherwise its awesome.
It may be somewhat intended? At least in the context where this is played in the game it does.
