They took Ralsie's violence and put in Hornet
@@andistansbury4366This got a chuckle out of me, good job
The song we'll play every time we hope Silksong gets a release date in a Nindie direct.
WE GETTING TO THE MILLION VIEWS WITH THIS ONE 🤡🔥🤡🔥🤡🔥
play lair of the clockwork god
I have my clown outfit ready lol
So just 24/7
@titanknight7272 I was thinking whenever an Nindie is about to start like a "summoning ritual" but I guess that works too.
The producers said "GIT GUD" and the voice actor took it seriously.
I thought she said “GET THROUGH!!” It made sense narratively.
@@jager477either way it fits narratively, if the Vessel isnt good enough, she'll kill yet another one who couldnt prevail
@@erwannthietart3602 I love this game man, two interpretations, both are solid cases.
I think it is just an exclaimation that she yells that doesn’t mean anything sort of like AHHHHH! or YOUCH!
@jager477 the voice line is gek tu if I remember correctly
Kinda have a feeling that "Shell within the void" is a line that each song will have in this package.
It was in the broken vessel song in songtober (where this also was originally from) so most likely
@@georgehouliaras7239 you misgendered a vessel in hk it’s they get cancelled
I mean it didn't appear in grimm's theme iirc
@@georgehouliaras7239 how dare you not know something that’s barely explained in the lore of a game where the lore is barely explained! You should know this. Cancelled
@@dynomite9524Let's just see it as another Dimentio situation.
I don't think Grimm, Dung Defender and Dirtmouth(even if I don't think that one will be added to this bytes package) will be redone just to add one line.
Broken Vessel already had it so it's just if they add it to Mantis Lords.
It's nice that the line "Pity for your cursed kind" was from her dream nail dialogue , which is "Only pity for your cursed kind!"
I absolutely love how this potrays how Hornet is in both the protector battle and the sentinel battle. The line in the chorus "Shell within the void, you would seek the end" becoming "Shell within the void, you would *face* the end" in the sentinel section is a perfect example of how Hornet sees the Knight in the two fights.
At first, as a foolish quest.
But after facing so many trials... A brave quest.

I comment this on every comment that has to do with hornet
I’m just happy they used hornet and daughter of hallownest.
Then in his Broken Vessel song it goes, "Shell within the void, know this is the end."
@@DanielHochstrasser his? there’s a vessel, which is genderless, and there’s hornet, who is she/her
I loved that even the iconic Shaw, Adino and Higale made it into the lyrics.

I love it The part "Needles pull thread, Spiders puling silk they will have no pity if the dark is killed" Is so cool really :D
I also really like how it’s sung.
It’s so cool!
I love that part
Any idea what it means?
@@williamhu8281 Well, "needles pulling thread" is a reference to Hornet's unique weapon: needle and thread. "Spiders pulling silk" could double as a reference to Hornet's spider heritage and her game, Silksong.
Not exactly sure about that final part though... "They will have no pity if the dark is killed." The "dark" is in obvious reference to the Ghost and/or void creatures like the Shade Lord, but I'm not sure about anything beyond that.
2:08
"You have some skill for a vessel with no soul."
Yo, I got a container full of soul right here.
Soul of their own, they can store soul, but don't have their own...

I love how both Hornet and Daughter of Hallownest were used here. It gives a sense of progression and escalation to the clash between the Ghost and Hornet.
The same thing happens in the Grim music. The songs The Troup Master Grim and Nightmare King are used
That transition from the first Hornet fight to Daughter of Hallownest was perfect, and I love the development of how Hornet sees the Knight!
0:36 “you shall not best my blade” meanwhile speed runners defeating hornet in 20 seconds
So....they have no rules set for themselves and use autoclickers so that they can hit hornet 16 times in seven seconds?
@@user-kj7pu1pi8k you know hit speed is limeted right?
@@zacharysawcyn3066 Exactly, and nobody can hit hornet enough times to get her staggered in 20 seconds, especially with the limited attack speed, so they hack the game to remove that limit and hit her 16 times in seven seconds.
yes im a nerd im aware im also a speedrunner
@@user-kj7pu1pi8k oh yeah ALSO "no one can hit enough to stagger her in 20" is wrong LIKE VERY VERY WRONG if we aren't including spells it only takes 11-12 hits to stagger one most people use spells and TWO: EVEN WITH ONLY NAIL YOU CAN HIT OVER 2 TIMES A SECOND (no quickslash duh) SO AT MAX IT TAKES 6 SECONDS IF YOUR CONSTANTY HITTING TO STAGGER
EDIT: and its easy as hell to constantly hit if your good
Basically, Emily can just sing anything at this point. This is INCREDIBLE!
What else has she sung?
She sung as Kyogre in the Legendary Bytes, did the entirety of Deadbolt's Blood on the Dance Floor, and she played one of the Broken Vessels
Also she sings as Ralsei in Deltarune the (not) Musical, she sung as Marina in Ebb & Flow and Fly Octo Fly and as Vivian in Dooplis I think
"Needles pulling thread, spiders pulling silk. They will have no pity if the dark is killed." I love how that's delivered! Sounded so great
0:34 "you shall not best my blade" is a awesome line
absolute peak cinema
I Can't wait to binge hear this entire musical
Sadly it is only a musical bytes, you can still binge it though!
@alexanderkazantzis8019, what's exactly the difference?
@@pvyj MoTIs musicals include dialouge and are the full game stringed between the tracks
Musical Bytes are just instances from the specified game with no linkage inbetween tracks. Essentially just a supercut of all the tracks
@@frythefish2040 you know, it would be fun if someone modded this into Hollow Knight Vocalized
“For all your will” vs “No will to break” so I guess MOTI is in the camp that the player vessel isn’t the kings ideal vessel either.
1:00-1:20 is absolutely INSANE
3:44 to 4:03 is also insane
@@ayegaming14 yes
yes this is was the part that gave me goosebump
@@ayegaming14this part also gave me goosebump
The Best 20 seconds of My life
This helps to cope for the lack of silksong
Also I beg of you to do the pure vessel
Antes de la vasija pura me gustaría más el tema del Hollow Knight xd casi lo mismo , pero es necesario ese primero
Who would sing Pure Vessel?
No the hollow knight pure vessel has no voice
Then something to do with the void
@@AshenDust_ Could be either the thoughts of Pure Vessel- if you choose to assume it has any-, or perhaps the Pale King's thoughts *about* the Pure Vessel. Or even the Queen. Or both. Having the King and Queen sing about their chosen one destined to save the kingdom from their mighty and relentless enemy could be fun.
1:16 oh no, the dreaded pissing blade!
Love how Broken Vessel’s song had the line “Shell within the void / Know this is the end / Broken and discarded / Ashes that descend”
Meanwhile this one has “Shell within the void / You would seek the end / Who would claim the hollow / Let the light extend” and “Shell within the void / You would face the end / Claim the mark of kings / If kingdoms you’d defend”
Is the line about shell within the void going to become a repeat appearance in Hollow Knight songs? I sure hope so because it’s really cool to see how each person addresses Ghost and the consistent “-end” words at the end of each line is a very fun theme.
Edit: With the release of the Mantis Lords song breaking this pattern, it does appear that I’m wrong. Maybe it’s just the bosses relevant to the main story, in that case.
Good point, that's going to be really fun to hear.
Ooh, if they do Sealed Vessel and/or Radiance that would be really neat because then it could be something like "Shell within the void / You have reached the end" or just something similar to aknowledge that Ghost has reached a final boss.
Oh man, wait, if they do Radiance imagine how cool the voice would be- after seeing the Pokemon Legendary Bytes I know they'd do a great job emphasizing the divinity of the Radiance with both a skilled singer and cool voice effects
When
I wonder if the hollow knight would beg “Please just let this end” or if they would try to continue their duty knowing it’s fruitless.
Another interesting parallel is that both songs are sung by the Knight's siblings.
Take into account that the Mantis Lords don't necessarily know what the vessels are.
Oh MAN this is a STRONG start to the highly anticipated hollow knight bytes. if THIS is what all of these songs are gonna sound like i will be WELL satisfied, this is INCREDIBLE. i’m absolutely obsessed with the expansion of the lyrics since the initial songtober version, all the little hints at the wider lore of the game and hornet’s iron-willed personality and desire to test the knight are just so GOOD. and DAMN right when i was thinking “man this is giving me chills” emmy’s BELTING THE HIGH NOTES at the end of the song kicked in and HOOOOOOOOOLYYY GODDAMN??? emmy’s range never fails to impress me and the raw POWER behind it is outstanding. also, there’s something so deeply SATISFYING about the “needles pulling thread, spiders pulling silk” like, i can’t explain what it is but it itches my brain so much and just lodges itself in there. absolutely incredible. fantastic job everyone! can’t wait for more!
@@fossilgamezit's been I think 2 (Grimm and dung defender)
@@fossilgamez I don't know if Grimm or Dung Defender count. There's a new playlist on the account called Hollow Knight Bytes and it only has this song in it, so maybe a series of covers are coming out? The others might be added retroactively. Guess we'll have to see.
@@starrblue8791 Correct, while MotI has done Hollow Knight songs before, this is the official Musical byte for the game.
@@fossilgamez there's been individual song covers, that's different than an official bytes package
If sealed vessel doesn't get a cover we riot
I can't get over how much _power_ is in the singer's voice. It's beautiful. She really captured the determination Hornet has to protect the kingdom, a great choice for the role.
And the lyrics are so cool! My favorite line is probably "I'll not hold back if the weak die at my blade," though I also really like how "Needles pulling thread, spiders pulling silk" sounds, it's very satisfying. And of course the callback to Broken Vessel with "Shell within the void" is a delight.
Speaking of Broken Vessel... I wonder if this means we'll get a remaster? The original was already so good, but the "minimal polish" of Songtober was present. I can't wait to see how it turns out with more polish, it'd be amazing. Ooh, or Mantis Lords. That one was really good but I think it suffered more than BV from how Songtober works, it'd need a bit more time to hone it.
I do wonder if the lyrics will stay the same for BV though, since "He wanted a son" always slightly irked me for the inaccuracy as the Pure Vessel is genderless.* Granted, it may not be literal, it's probably just easier to rhyme the word "son" than "child" because then "Only the perfect one" would have to be changed too. Who knows, we'll just have to wait and see if that song is planned.
*Obligatory mention that this is canon. (Note how Hornet is _"The_ gendered child" according to the Deepnest midwife, which emphasizes that she is _different_ than her half-siblings for having a gender) People have argued with me on this before and I would prefer that not happen again, as it is exhausting. Please don't turn my replies into another warzone over what is and isn't canon due to me expressing an opinion over a line in an older video, we don't need that here. Just let people have their non-binary representation and enjoy the music.
If I could I would not put this footnote because it just brings up unnecessary negativity but I have had enough run-ins with people like this to know that I need to.
Edit: I am so glad that the line was changed in the new version :)
The line "He wanted a son" is intentional, and probably not just because of the rhyme. The vessels didn't know anything about the Pale King's plan, it's what it looked to be to them. Even if the vessels knew they were genderless, which is highly unlikely, they probably assumed that the Pure Vessel would take on the same role as a son.
@@HumanoidDerpling I’m confused what you mean “the role of a son”
I don’t think the traditional roles of sons is to be sacrificed. I mean, outside of biblical mythology.
(Also now we know that the line wasn’t intentional)
@@EndertheDragon0922 I'm talking about what the Vessels thought, lol. You're taking that one line in my message completely out of context. And I'm curious to how you know it wasn't intentional. Mind citing a source?
(Also, the whole point of that part of the Bible is that Isacc DIDN'T get sacrificed, do your research next time.)
@@HumanoidDerpling Source is that the new video changed the line to “He wanted a child, flawless or reviled.” So… they probably just slipped up/forgot with the original, since a lot of people in the fandom tend to assume PV is male/forget it’s genderless.
Also I was referring to Jesus, not Isaac. The whole point of his story is he gets killed on behalf of his father. Do your research next time.
Huh, didn't know that released. Tbh it seems more like he did it more to get people to stop than because he was technically wrong (earlier in the same song there is "but condemn the child who's on IT'S own"). The new rhyme, "flawless or reviled" doesn't really make sense, as it suggests the opposite of what the whole song has been emphasizing: that the Pale King wasn't picky about his vessels. If he had instead wrote "flawless and reviled" he could make the connection that the vessel deemed flawless by PK would be reviled by its envious siblings.
I apologize. Something about how you called it "biblical mythology" made it sound like you were one of those anti-Christian to the point of irrationality people who take parts of the Bible completely out of context to try and frame God or something, hence why I assumed you were talking about Isaac.
I’m noticing a growing trend of Hollow Knight song covers from your team… and I’m absolutely all for it! Emily gave a flawless performance here, here’s hoping that this be made available on stores as we wait for Silksong!
1:15 I know it's "piercing blade," but I heard "pissing blade" and it made me chuckle lmao
3:44 I like the reference to the broken vessel songtober song "shell within the void know this is the end" especially cause the next lines are both talking about the wyrm corpse "broken and discarded, ashes that descend" and "claim the mark of kings..." which is in the wyrm corpse.
Oh my god the perfect belting of "needles pulling thread, spiders pulling silk" is giving me chills, this whole song is fantastic
Absolutely stunning work everyone. This came out so well in every aspect and I cannot wait for more.
This entire piece is chilling, and I love how the composition adds onto the original piece, and Emily's singing is just breathtaking. Very good piece.
God 1:00 - 1:21 is so good! The way it’s sung gives me chills! “Needles pulling thread, spiders pulling silk” is such a good line, taking her lore in to deep consideration. I believe she was born in deepnest to Herrah as part of a deal right?
*Herrah. Yes
@@overthegardenwall7143yeah, herrah, it likes to autocorrect that name, although I can’t remember what the deal was
@@The-ScungeFor what I know, the deal was that she and the Pale King would have a daughter that would protect Hallownest while the dreamers were in slumber.
@@Icanbarelysing ohhh, that makes sense.
@@overthegardenwall7143 the herrah typo should be fixed now, thanks
Holy shit the vocals
I love how Hornet refers to ghost as “vessel” in the first fight, but “child” in the second, as she starts to see ghost as a person
4:54 I find it interesting how she says “Face down _your_ father’s shame” despite them sharing a father
Meanwhile, the pale king: "For random floating buzz saws, here is no cost too great, even my own children."
Hornet sure ain't gonna refer to that kinda person as her father.
Because PK is "ashamed" of the knight but not her perhaps?
@@user-kj7pu1pi8kI always see that line as showing his guilt and regret over it. "It's a terrible thing to have done, but was nessisary."
4:08-4:35 WOW. JUST WOW.
THIS IS A CERTIFIED SHAW CLASSIC
WE’RE KILLING THE RADIANCE WITH THIS ONE BOYS🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Any radiance?:)
Just killed him yesterday
“Shell within the void you will seek the end, who would claim the hollow let the light extend.”
“Shell within the void know this is the end, broken and discarded ashes that descend.”
I love how direct these parallels are and I might scream XD
How long it’s been since we’ve had a Hollow Knight song, and what a strong theme to return with
4:23 is one of the best parts in my opinion.
Which really isn't worth much, so, yeah, just a personal favorite.
We need this song on spotify
Holy hell man, this is, like, one of my favorite HK songs, and I'm so glad y'all have finally given it the full treatment; thank you to the whole team
beautiful song, for my love^^ (Dont questin me i can crush on a video game charecter>:c)
Emily's voice must be straining so hard right now with how many times I've put this song on loop, god it's amazing!
Singer nailed those high notes, great start to the bytes
I had just been getting back into Hollow Knight earlier this year, and I must say: this makes me *very* excited to see what else is in store this month. *Well* done to everyone involved!

This was absolute Fire 🔥 10/10 from me. The Art was beautiful. The Mix was some Heat. And the Lyrics were Pristine. And then The VOCALS BRO. Emily you didn't have to go ALL IN LIKE THAT. This was a Masterpiece, way to go MOTI.
"And so this August we will plunge into the cold and not so lifeless halls of the once great kingdom, whose defender will stand to the end."
I'm so excited for these!! This is a fantastic start and I'm hyped!
Let's GOO! Emily's vocals were perfect for Hornet!! 10/10 start for the musical bytes!!
2:16 Man, this part here has some feeling behind it. It feels like Hornet says these lines from experience, from past hurt and pain. Love your guys songs and the attention to detail you guys put into them. Good work!
WE CLIMBING OUT THE ABYSS WITH THIS ONE 💯💯🔥 🔥
I love how people keep saying stuff like this in every fandom when a fan song pops up i swear xD
And it begins! On my birthday, no less!
Боже, это сделано на небесах, даже голос подходит!
Mossbag is still alive…. Hornet won’t get her game out until we sacrifice him.
the actor acting so well. it's just like with a Master Grimm.
Aslo so amazing and emotional. Great job guys!
Yes!! This is absolutely beautiful!! Please make more Hollow Knight lyrical covers!!
Ok, that was awesome. Those vocals were so raw, it gave me chills. Definitely looking into more of this.
The voice actress really poured her heart and soul into this song
Man this moment was hard. I didn't want to fight, I wanted to talk but it wasn't an option.
Such a great game and memorable characters that could easily be it's own tv series/movie or musical. But my goodness this song is amazing.
It's like a Valkyrie descending into valor of song! Fantastic job! Dare I ask for more?
Holy crap, you guys killed it! Been waiting a while for this one, and you really blew it out of the park. Well done to everyone involved!
3:43 - 4:35 is my favorite part.
it's just indescriptible good.
i love it
:)
Well this made me want to go and play hollow knight again Great work😊
''shell within the void'' nice callback to the broken vessel song!
“Well done, rise up your nail and face down your father’s shame” IS SUCH A GOOD LINE!!! It gave me chills ong
"shell within the void, know you seek the end"
"shell within the void, know this is the end"
nice callback
Oh yesss!! I cant wait for the other songs now!! Glad that you had the Hornet sounds too, itd never be the same without them
SHAW!!!
This is insane! Emily absolutely crushed it. That's one hell of a powerful voice!
I've been waiting so long for another HK song with lyrics! Grimm with lyrics is one of my favourite songs of all time, this almost as magnificent
This is amazing! I will listen to this while waiting for silksong now.
I am so glad they are doing more hollowknight music! It's always amazing in quality.
Awesome!!!! Hornets story is one of the fiercest of all,
This is amazing! The best and most accurate hollow knight song I've ever seen. I especially loved the spider part.
this lyric writing captures her voice and how her dialogue is written so perfectly
had to listen to it within a minute of being notified
Lmao
YES PLEASE, PLEASE BRING MORE!! I LOVE IT ALREADY
This is just wonderful.
For how popular Hollow Knight is, there is a sevear lack of fan songs, songs with lyrics ect. so I'm so glad for Man on The Internet. Thank you for all you've done for this comunity
Oh my gosh I utterly adore this!!! (And I'm super excited if this means what I think it means and there will be other songs from HK :D)
Dude her voice gives me chills I love it sm
5:53 WHAT IS THAT MELODY
Might want to change the timestamp.
VAAAAMOOOOO uno de los mejores personajes y Jefes de Hollow Knight y justamente ahorita me encuentro rejugando el juego xd
I only finished hollow knight not so long ago and Hornets fights and music are some of my favourite in the game so this video is freaking fantastic and I can’t wait to listen to this on loop for the next couple days
This is so amazing!
Gosh those vocals are insane! Well done to Emily on this one, seriously!!
Yes! I've been waiting for this song for so long!
That was so cool! I love it!
Any song with Emily in it is a good one; her voice is SO beautiful and versatile.
YO I DIDNT KNOW THIS WAS GONNA BE A SERIES. HYPE.
This is genuinely stunning. Easily one of the best covers produced by the MotI team in recent times. I look forward to what other songs will be selected for the Hollow Knight Musical Bytes! I’m personally holding out hope for Sealed Vessel and/or Pure Vessel, but regardless of wether we get them or not, I know this package is gonna be phenomenal.
Same, I think Sealed Vessel/Pure Vessel would be awesome. It's such a tragic character and I adore it so much. The poor guy.
I wonder how they'd handle a song like that given that? I mean, it seems to be able to scream now despite not having a voice before- did the Radiance grant it a voice to cry its suffering, or is it only her own voice echoing out of its shell?
If they do give it a voice, what sort of voice would they give it?
There's a lot to work with with a character like the Pure Vessel.
This song scratches an itch I didn’t know I had. It’s wonderful and powerful and I adore it
I just started replaying Hollow Knight yesterday.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE
Man I remember hearing the original in the first songtober. This really is a job well done! Can’t wait to add this to my playlist.
Yes! It’s here and it’s absolutely amazing. I can’t wait for the rest of Hollow Knight Musical Bytes
The most valiant,determination filled,intense and stake filled theme song I've heard❤❤
Ok dude you can't just keep dropping these bangers, you're gonna spoil us too much.
Oh my gosh this makes me so happy to hear!
As far as the lyrics go, this is probably the best written piece of the bunch. The VA also does an amazing job!
