Fun fact: the songs are 100% canon - they’re actually singing, it’s not just a performance. They reference this when they show that Connie actually recorded the ‘do it for her’ song on her phone. Gems in the show communicate both through speech and song.
Technically they didn’t reanimate it, they just redid the storyboards. It would be dumb to animate a whole musical sequence without having the audio done first.
The movie takes place after the events of the original series (seasons 1-5), so if you watch it before the show I don't think you'd have a very good experience having no context what so ever and spoiling basically everything from the original series. There is also a limited epilogue series called Steven universe future, which takes place after the movie and is a very good watch as well. So to summarize, if you were to watch the show in its proper chronological order you would watch: 1st: Steven universe seasons 1-5 2nd: Steven universe the movie 3rd: Steven universe future Idk if this helps but I did it anyway.
People talk about this but can we talk about how Peridot, literally never knowing what music was before this point, knew which notes steven played just after hearing a full scale once?
“It’s over isn’t it” is about Pearl (the one singing) was in love with a woman named rose Quartz who is also Steven’s mother and rose fell in love with Greg (Steven’s dad) and that’s why she said that rose “chose him”
Just please do yourself a favor and watch everything in order!! Season 1 can sometimes be a bit repetitive and hard to get through, but there's important context everywhere throughout the whole season. And I know some folks don't like the "filler"/townie episodes, but I adore them. The thing with Steven, especially when he's younger, is that he gets the same amount of excitement over going to get the same donut he's eaten every other day of his life as he does for a new gem mission. He's a boy who is just so happy and thrilled and excited to be *alive.* It's built up wonderfully... and it's important to watch it while it lasts because the end of the series doesn't leave him the same way. But it does leave him hopeful that he can love life again in the future.
Yes cuz i watched the movie first and i was really confused 😌 until i watched the show and i connected the pieces although it did ruin the rose surprise
Fun fact! Deedee (pearls voice actor) went in so hard while singing "It's over isn't it," that the animators had to redo the scene to match the intensity.
What I always liked about 'It's Over Isn't It' is that in the beginning, Pearl gave a wistful smile to a Rose she picked up. Especially since she was singing about a character named Rose.
peridot (the green girl in the second song), takes things so literally because she is a representation of autism! she is on the spectrum, and conversations with loved ones and understanding human concepts were very challenging for her at the start. i’m glad you noticed that about her !!
Fun facts! Most of the singers in Steven Universe have had Broadway experience! DeeDee (voice of Pearl) has done Broadway, I think Jennifer Paz (Lapis) has as well, Zach has an album out, and even later on we have Patti LuPone and Christine Ebersole singing, both of whom are Broadway veterans. Garnet is actually voiced by Estelle who is also an amazing musician. Another fun fact: they ended up changing some of the animation for “it’s over, isn’t it?” Because of how Deedee sang it and added so much emotion and power behind it. This show takes its music seriously and it shows.
the second song is actually the first time we ever heard that specific character sing. it was a much waited moment in the fandom and yes, she takes everything literally
ah yes, It's Over Isn't It? the song where Deedee when so hard they had to reanimate it. Also, if you watch the show, don't forget about the shorts! Steven's Song Time kinda reminds me about one of the things you were taking about in this ep (trying to be vague to avoid spoilers)
Day 4 of trying to get him to listen to mxmtoon Here some song to listen to Feelings are fatal Seasonal depression Prom dress Falling for u Bon iver Unspoken words Cliche Suffice Fever dream
As a note, the lady who plays Spinel (Drift Away, Other Friends) is a Broadway/Off-Broadway legend. Many actors on the show have theater or musical backgrounds. Garnet's VA is a soul singer whose biggest hit was American Boy. Pearl's VA played lead on one of the tours of WIcked, the dad is a DJ who memetically sang a pop song on a dare, two of the antagonists who sang are literal queens of Broadway...
You should watch the show like this: Season 1 to Season 5 Then watch the movie And there after comes Steven Universe Future! That's how you should watch this
After hearing all you had to say about the kids show Steven Universe being beautiful, have you seen Avatar The Last Airbender? There’s no singing character numbers in it at all but the soundtrack is gorgeous and the show is a *deep* masterpiece.
I think my favorite part about this show is that so many of the characters have a broadway background. My mom was a performer in San Diego, so she got to know a lot of people in the business and actively recognized many of the voices and was thoroughly impressed that they took that extra step.
4:55 I've always loved singing, even though I'm not the best at it, and I really needed to hear that. People often think that if you can't sing like a pro, you shouldn't be singing at all, and it really demotivates you. So thanks a lot for finally saying what I've been needing to hear for such a long time. I love your videos, and if you're still reacting to Steven Universe music, check out the song "Entirely New" next ♥
Oh god! Don’t watch the movie before the show! It’s basically the epilogue so it’s full of spoilers! xD but definitely do videos on both! we want to see every reaction you’re willing to give us!
I'd love for you to watch the movie for a video! Just don't watch it before finishing the show first lol. Even some of these songs had some big spoilers, so hopefully that doesn't bother you.
Hey, I’m fairly new to the channel, but may I suggest Mother Mother? You may already listen to them since you’ve mentioned listening to a lot of like indie alternative bands, but if not I think you would really like them! Their sound is so unique and while it’s hard to exactly explain why, their music makes me really happy! If you want to check them out, some of my favorite songs include Verbatim, The Stand, Hayloft, Wrecking Ball, Ghosting and Burning Pile! Keep up the good content!
Please react to Zach Callison A Picture Perfect Hollywood Heartbreak :> sorry edit 😭- but there a certain order to listen to adlum since it's basically build up to war
@@mightypurplelicious3209 actually no. Zach has a story with his album and war is basically the final finish. It's better for Matthew to react to Zach's album in order so he can try to understand what he trying to tell. Since there are interludes that lead off 4 of this songs and help set up the next song on the album.
3:05 Actually they didn't die "When a gem's body is badly damaged they release their physical forms and retreat back to their gems to regenerate" so they're gonna be okay!
10:00 I love what you said here. I love when shows can go into depth about these things in such a way that really hits you. Bojack horseman is also one of my top favourite shows.
on the song "it's over isn't it" the "she" she's singing about is called Rose, and she's pratically dead. So she sings the whole song holding a rose in her hand, but when she says "she's gone" for the last time, she throws rose away, like she's talking about Rose that she fell in love with
Omg I love this! Also I have a request for you to react to a band called mother mother they are for sure one of my favourite bands their music is sooo good and unique I will make a list of some of my favourite songs but honestly they are all so good
Wisdom, verbatim, fat kids, Arms tonite, oh Ana, let's fall in love, burning pile, it's alright Those are just a couple of my favourites I really recommend them they also have really good meaning and don't shy away from a lot of serious topics
The gems poofed. When their bodies are badly damaged, they turn back into gems. They regenerate over time though, as long as nothing happens to the actual crystal.
Yay! That Distant Shore is my favorite song of the whole series. I love and relate to the character who sings it. The context of the song makes me feel sad in a good way. And of course it also sounds very nice. PS: For the longest time that character did not have a song in this show which is a real shame. Her voice is beautiful.
You should listen to the Promised Neverland opening, also Haikyuu and Death Note. Also if your going to watch episodes of Steven Universe you should watch the last episode of the original series Change Your Mind
The message he gave at the meddle of the video hit me sooo much. Im a singer and I just love singing but all my family spects me to sing in family parties and uplaod videos on social media WHY? my brother has told me "Why do you even go to singing classes if you just sing in your room??" cause I love it and I dont care. So much people spect me to be a singer just cause Im good at singing BUT I DONT WANT TO, what he said though it was short made me feel like Im not the only one in this kind of situation and that Im not wrong (cause there has been times I've thought Im wrong for not sharing my singing) this made me feel better. Im gonna subscribe to this channel for that comment 😊
The concept of singing in character always reminds me of how much everyone on tiktok hated that hazbin hotel song when it came out because the singers voice was weird or not perfect He’s singing in character, like SpongeBob levels of changing his voice, with a strong accent. Of course it’s not gonna be as amazing as other songs (Also the song was pretty good imo lol)
As a side thought: The best thing would be if you recorded/reacted to songs as you hit them. That way you had all the weight of the show behind them and you could dig into each of them as you go. I'm excited for you to hit a few songs. There are just so many and they're all *so* good. I'm sure you'll love the series even more as you speed through but hopefully we can at least get whatever highlights you can share! And most especially reactions to the music! (if possible)
5:25- I wanna thank you for this bit. I write fiction a lot. I like to post said fiction online. I don't expect to become successful off of it. I just do it because I like doing it. Yet so often, my mom will tell me that I'm wasting my time. Every time I get invested in a big project I'm working on, she always has to ask 'Will you become famous off of it?' or 'Do you really think this'll make you money?' Seriously, it's beyond irritating.
The observation you made about lapis's song being something that could be more but still seeming like it was just enough as it was. Is really interesting because that's very much who lapis is a character.
Matthewww I was waiting so much for you to listen to it’s over isn’t it, I think it’s one of the most beautiful songs from the show. Really hope the video of you watching more episodes comes soon 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My suggestions for the next SU song you should react to: Both of You Independent Together True Kind of Love Change Happily ever After and Finale I'd Rather be Me Being Human
Other friends was actually my introduction to Steven Universe. I never paid much attention to what I heard of it before, but this song got popular and floated over to my side of the internet. I loved it, was just as confused as you about it XD
I'm so glad you're deciding to do more of the show on your channel! We have some suggestions about what to feature, but of course will appreciate whatever you choose to share!
You didn't ask me, but the episodes you might want to feature include: 2. Laser Light Cannon 7. Bubble Buddies 12. Giant Woman 16. Steven the Sword Fighter 22-26. Steven and the Stevens -> Ocean Gem (yes all of 'em, a masterpiece every one) 35. Lion 3: Straight to Video 36. Alone Together 37. Warp Tour 40. On the Run 43. Maximum Capacity (this is my favorite episode of the entire series, but I'm mostly alone in that) 44. Marble Madness 45. Rose's Scabbard 50. The Message 52. The Return 52. Jail Break ... hmm, that's kind of a lot. Well, whatever you choose to share, we'll be thankful for!
The way you talk about singing for yourself because it makes you happy, reminds me very much of Florence Foster Jenkins. Look her up, and buckle up for a character.
One thing I’ll point out time and time again about It’s Over Isn’t It?: The look she gives the flower. “War and glory, reinvention.” The look of distain. Part of her misses that life she had before everything, even if she knows she can never go back to it
It is a shame the songs are so short but considering the episodes are only 11 minutes long, you cant have a third of the episode taken up by one song lol Thats why I love that they made Steven Universe the movie a Musical, and the episode that "its Over Isnt it?" is from is a musical episode
Thank you for talking about how music can just be and it doesn’t have to be for anyone else. I’m a musician but I’m absolutely not a performer. I make music for myself and very occasionally for one or two other people. 99% of the music I make is only ever heard by me. And I like it that way. Part of the beauty is that it’s ephemeral.
Good picks! It's Over Isn't It is my personal favorite. As a side note, probably the reason you're getting Adventure Time vibes from Steven Universe's music is because Rebecca Sugar also did a lot of the songs for Adventure Time (which I'd also love to see you react to if you haven't already.)
If you do a part 3, i would love it if you reacted to Change Your Mind, Full Disclosure, What's the Use in Feeling Blue?, and Familiar, theyre all gorgeous songs (and full disclosure is really underrated it was stuck in my head for days)
a video i recommend checking out is “Instrumentation in Steven Universe” by Sideways on youtube. he points out the assigned instruments to each of the characters and their relevance to the characters role in the show and story and it makes you appreciate this show’s music all the more, even if you already adore it. one of my favorite things he points out in its over isnt it is how when pearl sings “and shes gone” and the rose flies away in the wind, the violin fades out as well, because that is rose quartz’s assigned instrument that represents her, and i had to take a minute cuz it was so cool and it blew me away. i recently discovered your channel and i love hearing your thoughts on music and especially music i love as well :) this is a long shot but could you maybe check out the happy fits or teddy hyde’s music? theyre severely underrated artists, my favorites and id love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks for coming along y'all! I love you guys so much 🥰 if you'd like to follow my IG, I'm @mathew_mckenna

Or "Mad at disney" by salem ilese?
I recommend you to listen to AVIVA
Thank you Matthew 😊

@@jojo-xk8rialso at the end of the world with it’s over isn’t it where they reference back at songs they were singing earlier and laughing n shit
I have a headcanon that the brief period of gem colonization influenced human culture so much that humans are a lot more inclined to singing
Deedee went so hard on it’s over isn’t it they had to reanimate it
That’s like one of my favorite pieces of trivia.
Technically they didn’t reanimate it, they just redid the storyboards. It would be dumb to animate a whole musical sequence without having the audio done first.
@@catcactus1234 True dat. Still though, they still had to go back and change something.
It’s been a while since the show ended, yet I still learn new things from the show... Wow...
Also, please elaborate, i’d like to know the whole story
Wait, really? What did they change?
Fun fact about isn't it over? Deedee sang so hard with the notes they had to redo the animation

@@marockie1421 it’s not that rude they’re just trying to help

Can we add Change Your Mind to this list? ;w; It's so short, really only a couple lines, but surprisingly emotional, and god damn if its not goals.

I really hope he read the comments, lots of people are saying it
If he watches the movie before watching the actual ENTIRE SERIES he's just setting himself up for massive disappointment.

It's over, isn't it?
Isn't it?
lmao
No its just starting
Isn't over you won and she choose you and she loved you and shes gone
It's over so why cant I move on
Is no one going to talk about how Steven has perfect pitch? He knew the note for a drill. How many people can do that, And at his age no less?
It could also be relative pitch, which can be taught to the point of almost perfect pitch accuracy
Well his dad was a musician.
There's also the theory that true Gem Language is music related/singing, so Steven having perfect pitch is entirely plausible, as he's part gem
People talk about this but can we talk about how Peridot, literally never knowing what music was before this point, knew which notes steven played just after hearing a full scale once?
“It’s over isn’t it” is about Pearl (the one singing) was in love with a woman named rose Quartz who is also Steven’s mother and rose fell in love with Greg (Steven’s dad) and that’s why she said that rose “chose him”
Thanks for being one of THOSE guys...

Yay! That Distant Shore is my favorite song of the whole series. I love and relate to the character who sings it. The context of the song makes me feel sad in a good way. And of course it also sounds very nice.
PS: For the longest time that character did not have a song in this show which is a real shame. Her voice is beautiful.
I recommend watching the movie for you can understand what’s going on in the songs!
Spinel: I've had your little message on loop
Me: I've had your song on loop and I love it
Everyone else: you ok
The voice acting in Other Friends is SO amazing 😭 and it was all one take too
You should listen to the Promised Neverland opening, also Haikyuu and Death Note. Also if your going to watch episodes of Steven Universe you should watch the last episode of the original series Change Your Mind
No he should listen to The Promised neverland outro (first one)
ITS SLAPS
"It's over isn't it"
Is really just the song that everyone used when the show was over. XD
(Myself included)
you should totally listen to the caleb hyles cover of other friends it’s literally so good
The message he gave at the meddle of the video hit me sooo much. Im a singer and I just love singing but all my family spects me to sing in family parties and uplaod videos on social media WHY? my brother has told me "Why do you even go to singing classes if you just sing in your room??" cause I love it and I dont care. So much people spect me to be a singer just cause Im good at singing BUT I DONT WANT TO, what he said though it was short made me feel like Im not the only one in this kind of situation and that Im not wrong (cause there has been times I've thought Im wrong for not sharing my singing) this made me feel better. Im gonna subscribe to this channel for that comment 😊
The concept of singing in character always reminds me of how much everyone on tiktok hated that hazbin hotel song when it came out because the singers voice was weird or not perfect
He’s singing in character, like SpongeBob levels of changing his voice, with a strong accent. Of course it’s not gonna be as amazing as other songs
(Also the song was pretty good imo lol)
As a side thought: The best thing would be if you recorded/reacted to songs as you hit them. That way you had all the weight of the show behind them and you could dig into each of them as you go. I'm excited for you to hit a few songs. There are just so many and they're all *so* good. I'm sure you'll love the series even more as you speed through but hopefully we can at least get whatever highlights you can share!
And most especially reactions to the music! (if possible)
5:25- I wanna thank you for this bit. I write fiction a lot. I like to post said fiction online. I don't expect to become successful off of it. I just do it because I like doing it. Yet so often, my mom will tell me that I'm wasting my time. Every time I get invested in a big project I'm working on, she always has to ask 'Will you become famous off of it?' or 'Do you really think this'll make you money?' Seriously, it's beyond irritating.
I love the headcanon of gems creating music whenever they start singing. Since they are canonicaly singing.
The observation you made about lapis's song being something that could be more but still seeming like it was just enough as it was. Is really interesting because that's very much who lapis is a character.
Matthewww I was waiting so much for you to listen to it’s over isn’t it, I think it’s one of the most beautiful songs from the show. Really hope the video of you watching more episodes comes soon 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Pearl was singing about Stevens mom. And how in the past Stevens mom fell in love with his dad and didn't consider her. 😐
Music is such an integral part of Steven Universe - the show and the characters - and I think you summed that up really well in this video.
Young Me: *watches Steven Universe just to entertain myself*
Me now: "these episodes r getting really deep"😢 (in a good way)
I really wish Lapis could have had more songs than she got.
*Pearl sings*
Mathew: ow- too good!!
My suggestions for the next SU song you should react to:
Both of You
Independent Together
True Kind of Love
Change
Happily ever After and Finale
I'd Rather be Me
Being Human
Other friends was actually my introduction to Steven Universe. I never paid much attention to what I heard of it before, but this song got popular and floated over to my side of the internet. I loved it, was just as confused as you about it XD
Fully recommend listening to Zach Callison- Picture Perfect Hollywood, in video or not, absolute bangers in that album I swear
I'm so glad you're deciding to do more of the show on your channel! We have some suggestions about what to feature, but of course will appreciate whatever you choose to share!
You didn't ask me, but the episodes you might want to feature include:
2. Laser Light Cannon
7. Bubble Buddies
12. Giant Woman
16. Steven the Sword Fighter
22-26. Steven and the Stevens -> Ocean Gem (yes all of 'em, a masterpiece every one)
35. Lion 3: Straight to Video
36. Alone Together
37. Warp Tour
40. On the Run
43. Maximum Capacity (this is my favorite episode of the entire series, but I'm mostly alone in that)
44. Marble Madness
45. Rose's Scabbard
50. The Message
52. The Return
52. Jail Break
... hmm, that's kind of a lot. Well, whatever you choose to share, we'll be thankful for!
A song I'd suggest is war! by Zach Callison, who voices Steven.
Yes!!!!!!
The way you talk about singing for yourself because it makes you happy, reminds me very much of Florence Foster Jenkins. Look her up, and buckle up for a character.
Do NOT watch the movie before the show, it literally spoils like the ENTIRE show
Deedee didn’t have to go that hard, but she did That. She did That for *us*
One thing I’ll point out time and time again about It’s Over Isn’t It?: The look she gives the flower. “War and glory, reinvention.” The look of distain. Part of her misses that life she had before everything, even if she knows she can never go back to it
I saw the title and was ready to throw hands because no one messes with Steven universe but then I watched the video and I was like okay that’s fine
The voice actor for Spinel did an incredible live performance of Other Friends at NYCC 2019
So glad Steve universe still surviving even though it ended
It is a shame the songs are so short but considering the episodes are only 11 minutes long, you cant have a third of the episode taken up by one song lol Thats why I love that they made Steven Universe the movie a Musical, and the episode that "its Over Isnt it?" is from is a musical episode
Thank you for talking about how music can just be and it doesn’t have to be for anyone else. I’m a musician but I’m absolutely not a performer. I make music for myself and very occasionally for one or two other people. 99% of the music I make is only ever heard by me. And I like it that way. Part of the beauty is that it’s ephemeral.
Good picks! It's Over Isn't It is my personal favorite.
As a side note, probably the reason you're getting Adventure Time vibes from Steven Universe's music is because Rebecca Sugar also did a lot of the songs for Adventure Time (which I'd also love to see you react to if you haven't already.)
If you do a part 3, i would love it if you reacted to Change Your Mind, Full Disclosure, What's the Use in Feeling Blue?, and Familiar, theyre all gorgeous songs (and full disclosure is really underrated it was stuck in my head for days)
"It's Over Isn't It" is so good, I can almost imagine Judy Garland singing it.
a video i recommend checking out is “Instrumentation in Steven Universe” by Sideways on youtube. he points out the assigned instruments to each of the characters and their relevance to the characters role in the show and story and it makes you appreciate this show’s music all the more, even if you already adore it. one of my favorite things he points out in its over isnt it is how when pearl sings “and shes gone” and the rose flies away in the wind, the violin fades out as well, because that is rose quartz’s assigned instrument that represents her, and i had to take a minute cuz it was so cool and it blew me away. i recently discovered your channel and i love hearing your thoughts on music and especially music i love as well :) this is a long shot but could you maybe check out the happy fits or teddy hyde’s music? theyre severely underrated artists, my favorites and id love to hear your thoughts.
Most definitely don't watch the movie until you've finished the show. You'll be confused and won't enjoy it nearly as much as you could have!
I'm quite upset at how you skipped most of the first one
