Its your last night in town. You've just graduated high school and all of your friends have gotten together, everyone's having a good time. They already know your leaving, heading of to college, but you want the memory of your last night in town to be happy. So you try to forget that your leaving. You tell yourself "we'll still text!" "We'll still chat!" But you know you won't. You know you'll talk for a few months, and then slowly lose contact as life gets in the way. And that makes you upset, the future makes you sad. But right now your having dinner with your friends, and right now things are good. And that's enough.
Seeing these comments that are years old makes me feel sad because I wish I discovered what homestuck was earlier when the fandom was more active. Hearing this song feels so melancholy but upbeat at the same time and I love it! I'm so glad that I discovered this song because it's what introduced me to the great webcomic, and I love the fact that this music was meant for John (one of my most favorite characters) and it just sounds so fitting. God, do I love this soundtrack. Edit: It's been over a year since i made this comment and i kinda forgot I made this, but I feel immense joy seeing these replies and the fact that Homestuck is still making new content is amazing to me. It's kinda funny how ironic my comment is now that it's starting to age just like other comments made over 6 years ago, I wonder if someone will see this comment in the next 6 years or so and think the same thing?
^ WHAT THIS KIT KAT SAID I only got into the fandom like a month ago and it feels like I got to the party an hour after it ended '{ ') (' }' where'd everybody go come back I want to spam music and fan theories at your ears
aww its so nice to see theres still people joining this fandom. ive been in it for 6 years and it makes me sad to see its not as active as it used to be, after the super long hiatuses when social media would explode whenever there was a new update, and everywhere you look theres something homestck related, all the theories and fics, amazing art- well its not like its gone. now its just kind of sad 8( we gotta resurrect homestuck !!
This song reminds me of the happiness I experienced long ago. I used to walk for long periods looking at the sky, marveling at things as small as seeing the clouds and thinking about existence. In the sky I glimpsed what I am looking for in this life, in that infinite blue, so far from limitations, I saw hope...
I always assumed Rapture was meant more in the biblical sense, the end of everyone and everything. In my eyes, Pale Rapture is like a solemn goodbye to the Beta Universe and knowing that, while everything has ended and everyone they knew and didn't bring with them is most likely dead and gone, a new universe awaits them. Its a solemn end punctuated by a glimmer of hope
//This song gives me the image of breezing through the cool blue skies past wispy, soft clouds that dissipate their strands of faint clairvoyant images as you pass. Of course, you realize the challenges waiting ahead, and you worry, but enjoy the moments you have of happiness. But they'll come soon nonetheless.
i remember being in middle school and listening to this song when my world was right. it felt like melancholic bliss. now i'm much older. now it feels...like an entirely different experience.
I really want this song to be used at one of the events for the upcoming Rapture. This song is just so lovely, if I could pick one song to be used for an animation it would be this
This song feels like the sunrise. The lights beginning to appear and everything is starting to wake up. And you choose to watch it, slowly enveloping you until the sun is completely out. It's time for you to get up.
@fluffleSings I feel like the pale refers to a moirallegiance, which lends itself to a kind of conflict of having to control your more aggressive partner
The Living Tombstone’s “I Wanna Be A Machine” for Beat Saber brought me right back to this track. That bassline-dominated section with the trap drums in its final half-minute made me instantly remember a Homestuck song sounding the same way. I didn’t yet remember the name but I could remember Volume 9/Colours and Mayhem era, then I was like yeah Colours and Mayhem… Universe B just from the color association of white instead of black And bam. Pale Rapture. Right where I left it last. Here in a TH-cam Playlist to give me the same kind of float away escapist emotions that “I Wanna Be a Machine” does nearly ten years later
ill always associate this theme with minecraft, i recently got a pc for the first time in years and have been building like crazy on it; just doing what feels fun, but the entire time ive been playing with a homestuck audio pack (land of mines and melodies) and this is one of the tracks that play in the overworld i cant help but just think about the bunches of hives ive been building and decorating and the amount of fun ive been having in this fandom and how ill look back on it all years in the future, homestuck may have "ended", but from now on it will go on and on and on and on and on :o)
its really sad seeing homestuck being treated poorly by the people who own it right now as if it aint much of a big deal... this stupid webcomic changed dozens of lives out there (some even for the better) and seeing it like this is just sad..

Well, Rapture means intense joy or happiness, while Pale can mean unimportant. Knowing these definitions, it sort of goes along with the picture that is shown here homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pale-rapture. John's God tier clothes are a bright and beautiful array of the sky and clouds, but the expression of the face does not match. The environment he is in makes it look as if it was he was here: www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=008860. This is where he comes back after experimenting with his new found abilities of retconning, believing he could defeat LE, but came back to the aftermath of the death of most of his friends. Don't know if this helps really clear up anything. Just my two cents.
Pale Rapture. What does that mean? Probably nothing, but time to overanalyze because this song is messing me up. As one of the top comments mentioned, rapture means a feeling of intense joy or pleasure. Pale could relate to troll quadrants, particularly the platonic ones, but I'm more inclined to think it's not. Pale can mean that something is feeble or unimpressive, apparently. So a pale rapture would be a feeling of intense joy that is feeble in some way? Not sure what to make of that, or how to relate it to John. Maybe the quadrant explanation is more prudent. It could relate to his relationships in some way. The song name can also just be an expression of it's contents. Maybe listening to the song is supposed to feel like a pale rapture. That does weirdly sound like a good way to describe the feelings this song gives me. either way, i think we can all agree that this is a john song because john is depressed and this song also a torrent of emotions.
@@evo683 the first thing i was gonna do when i clicked on this video was to find if there was any new reference to disco elysium and if there werent any i would make some guess i wont need to make the first comment about the rapture of the pale from disco elysium

if rapture is a feeling of intense pleasure or joy like that one comment said... why does this song sound so melancholy? maybe its just me tho
I haven't read the Epilogues yet beyond the Prologue, but this comment inspires me to see if I can see whether this song would fit it.

Apparently "Pale Ruptures" are a thing in Disco Elysium. Does this change anything? Maybe not, but the developers are probably closeted Homestucks.
