The sprite where Ralsei says “You’ll bring the roaring” and it cuts to The Dark Truth really caught me off guard and honestly kinda freaked me out. Not to mention just the song itself is sort of chilling.
it does catch people off guard because everyone is goofing around in that scene then suddenly Ralsei stops everything and starts talking about heavy dark stuff out of nowhere.
God the way it is used in The Dark Truth is so haunting. And yeah, the last part of Until Next Time definitely gives it a nostalgic yet ominous feeling
It makes more sense having it in The Dark Truth than any other song. "Don't Forget" isn't a song about being in the dark world. It's a song about the roaring.
Dont Forget wasn't noticeably used more sparingly in Chapter 2. Sensible considering Chapter 1 was LITERALLY drowning in it. The more prevalent motifs were Queen, Berdly, The World Revolving (Which I'm going to call the Knight motif) and City. (Also cute detail how the SOUL itself was restarting on until next time.)
@@tsunderecat413 Literally over a quarter of the entire Chapter 1 soundtrack had Don't Forget. I'm not saying that's a bad thing per se, But it does make sense that you would want a distance yourself from that song at least somewhat in the (proceed)ing chapters.
I think the contrast in the amount of times the motif was used in Ch1 and Ch2 makes sense. It was used so many times in Ch1 in order to make sure everybody recognizes it. Repetition often makes something memorable. Now, Toby doesn’t have much reason to slather every track with it. Everybody already knows the motif.
A part of me is really sad that Don't Forget barely appeared in Chapter 2 compared to Chapter 1 (Mainly because I've become addicted to the Don't Forget Motif), but at the same time Chapter 2 has Spamton so I can't complain In all seriousness it still had a pretty good impact in The Dark Truth and Until Next Time
might be because atleast in my opinion the dont forget motif is tied to ralsei and he is pretty absent in this chapter since most characters just kinda forget about him and you cant use him for about a third of the chapter
you arent hearing anything, theyre just arpeggios. super basic thing used in a huge number of songs. its not that every time toby uses an arpeggio hes trying to reference gaster - its the other way round. gasters theme was likely made super quickly and so a basic looping arpeggio was an easy option
@@smonkk8556 my theory is that toby made gaster's theme an arpeggio on purpose so it could be easy to add it to songs sneakily and so make it so he would even add it in mistakes, just to expand more on the gaster is everywhere theory
That's not gaster's theme thats just basic song making i've heard OMG GASTER in every deltarune video and i wish people weren't connecting every minor thing in the game to gaster
I really love the original Don't Forget but this remix really adds something special to how it feels, like the plot is really starting to develop while also acknowledging there's a bittersweet wait before we'll get to experience more of the game Man I love this game
I love how the song is called “Don’t Forget” and how it’s in every song piece in some small way. Makes me think there’s something that Kris is trying to erase from his memory, but can’t for some reason.
The point of the motif was to solidify the “your choices do not matter” in chapter 1. Once established, the motif doesnt really have much purpose left but remind you that your choices do not matter.
it makes slight sense, because we are move from Castle Town and it's dark world to other places, such as the Cyber World. C1 and its dark world is where Don't Forget originated from, and we are moving away from those places, thus we hear Don't Forget less to make room for unfamiliar leitmotifs, representing unfamiliar places. Edit: the real reason we are hearing it less is probably so Toby can play around making other leitmotifs
1:21 it's very distressing to me that the beginning of ralsei's narration for the roaring and the beginning lyrics for "don't forget" line up perfectly dshfsdjdfskds When the light is running low and the shadows start to grow (When the LIGHT is subsumed by SHADOW) And the placed that you know seem like fantasy (When the FOUNTAINS fill the sky) and the insistent leitmotif... worrying.
@@ashisalrtakenthey didnt explain it, but basically, dark worlds (which are made from fountains) seem to be an overarching metaphor for fantasy/escapism. so thats probably why they said that.
Yeah, I am going to do a video on Minor Motifs at some point in the future, which will contain stuff like Lancer's Theme and other things that only appeaed twice.
@@MediaMotifs do you think it was cool to hear that jazzy bit from dummy again? Idk why I just always loved that part from dummy, and I was like WOAH, HE USED IT AGAIN!!
I'm surprised that Don't Forget wasn't used that much in Chapter 2 but many Undertale leitmotif got used way more. Don't know why Toby decided to use that, considering Don't Forget was essentially the main theme for Chapter 1?
they're part of the same game - toby spent much of chapter 1's ost really trying to make that important motif recognizable, so now he can be more soaring with it
It's kinda like this: In Undertale, Once Upon A Time is NOT was in lots of songs, in Deltarune chapter 1, it was in some songs, but now it disappeared completely
The Dark Truth always gives me massive chills and I can't explain why. It's like the world is actually close to end and we have nothing but ourselves left.
I honestly wonder if the Gaster motif is even still here in a majority of this chapter... I never really heard it all too much while playing. It'd be interesting if it's hidden in a variety of different ways, but I don't know.
I noticed it in Flashback, and that kinda makes sense considering it plays during one of the most disturbing moments of the genocide route. As a side note, I'm considering making a remix of Flashback.
Love how the soul switches between The Dark Truth and Until Next Time. I guess we all thought the song was glitching at the start lol. 2:18 Also did the soul just turn white for a second there?
That, plus the fact that the "freedom" motif fits so perfectly well with Don't Forget makes me wonder if they aren't the same song, and if in the end Don't Forget ends up being the full Gaster's Theme
It's interesting how little the leitmotif was used in comparison to the first chapter. Makes me wonder if there's something about it that's specifically tied to the school.
maybe all of the credit songs will be some sort of variation of a ‘see you soon’ phrase and then at chapter 7, the credits song will be named ‘goodbye’ or something similar
Wait, doesn't Noelle's theme contain a slightly changed last part of the "Don't Forget" leitmotif? I thought I heard it near the end EDIT: Just checked the songs containing the motif, and it appears that the last part of the leitmotif is used more often than the whole leitmotif. I don't know if it could mean anything, but knowing Toby, it probably does.
Considering that Chapter 2 was more heavily focused on Noelle & The Dark World rather than Kris, Susie and the Light World, it makes sense why we hear it less.
gosh i cant wait for all 5 chapters that remain! i didnt play undertale but i will 100% play deltarune when the full release comes out (alr played 1 and 2)
this song is gonna be really important later on isnt it. this chapter gives me the feeling something is off. a lot of things are wrong i just don’t think we can see it yet. some of the songs give me omori vibes also
i thought at first that the dark truth would have an Another him leitmotif since they sound a bit similar and i was quite surprised when i heard Dont forget

Well Laura does sing Until Next Time, she done the entire soundtrack for PvZ! (When I first heard her sing in the credits for chapter 1 I flipped out)
It sort of gives a feeling like “I will still be with you, even in all the chaos” or “Don’t forget me”
It makes more sense having it in The Dark Truth than any other song. "Don't Forget" isn't a song about being in the dark world. It's a song about the roaring.

I liked the chapter 1 don't forget motifs, It's not like they all sounded the same and it was fun to notice.
if chapter 1 was "drowning" in it, the undertale has already long succumbed to the abyss

@@AtlasTheMayor ok?
@@thatonecabridog uh… that’s…. A startling revelation…

"Lost eternally in an endless night.
Is that your idea of paradise?"
That coupled with the "Don't forget" in the background hits different

no
The Dark Truth always gives me massive chills and I can't explain why. It's like the world is actually close to end and we have nothing but ourselves left.
I love “the dark truth” so much 🤩 it’s ominous but kind of calm at the same time and I love it!
Kinda irrelevant but I really like Until Next Time. It gives off such a nosgaltic end-of-a-movie vibe!
Totally agree, if it were the final chapter's credits theme I wouldn't even be mad.
toby really chilled out with the usage of that motif in ch2, i guess he was trying to establish it really strongly at the beginning
It's such a distinct yet simple melody... I love how malleable it is across so many different musical situations!

I think of this theme as almost the main theme of Deltarune, as with Undertale in Undertale.
The dark truth is one of my favorites in chapter 2
1:35 "Im with you in the daʳᵏ"
Until next time is both eerie and cheery at the same time, it's kind of unsettling honestly.

The Dark Truth is one of my favorite deltarune tracks just because of the haunting and unsettling feelings it gives off.
It's in BIG SHOT too if you didn't know. It's the same part as in THE WORLD REVOLVING but it's still Don't Forget

:000 why didn’t i think of that?- thanks mediamofits :))
Until Next Time already felt so nostalgic
Now to check how many themes have the “Until Next Time” motif.
It's interesting how little the leitmotif was used in comparison to the first chapter. Makes me wonder if there's something about it that's specifically tied to the school.
The first few Notes of Until next Time are actually really creepy
LOL, the soul going back and forth on Until Next Time made me remember when i thought the song was glitching in the beggining.
I actually watched Go Galactic!'s stream, glad to see it in the video.
The dark truth is probably the scariest scene that played. Especially basically how the lightners will break down to isolation and darkness.
I like how chapter 2 used the main theme 3 times but chapter 1 had most of the songs feature it
