"You and I are not the same, you don't want the burden of my name" Considering how popular the "Qrow is secretly Ruby's father" theory is in the fanbase (whether you believe it or not, admit that it's something people think), that is a rather odd line to have in a character's personal song.
See, I have pondering that line ever since the full version was released. Yes, that is one possibility of what that line can me, and that is what I originally thought as well. However, keep in mind, that his name is Qrow. That line could also mean, that "you don't want the burden of (crow)", which would mean in the canon of this show, you would not want bad luck (the burden of a crow).
Also, keep in mind that Yang has her father's last name while Ruby has her mother's. If this theory is true, then maybe Qrow wanted her named after Summer so he could distance her even more from himself.
So according to some of the comments on my lyric video, apparently I used the same exact image of another person who just started making lyric videos. Welp... Don't know what to say about that now, lol. Awesome job btw!
Yeah, just an unlucky coincidence I guess. wink wink. I get why you chose it though, it looks really good! And thanks! Love your lyric videos by the way, you actually inspired me to make my own. I was so hype about this new soundtrack that I just had to make some lyric videos, lol. :D
"Shame I hang my head in constant sorrow" "Rain on ever day you need the light" "strain to see some fortune in Tomorrow" "bane is what I am to every life"
*gasp* you're right! So, is there a way to connect Yang to the albatross? Hm. Her mother is a raven, her full name means golden dragon and her arc this volume has been a Phoenix narrative about rising from the ashes even stronger than before...
Itachi Uchiha That's not what I was implying. I meant that those may be references to the two characters, as Weiss' character song is 'Mirror Mirror' and Blake is a cat Faunus.
That line "you don't want the burden of my name" has me convinced that Qrow is Ruby's father and Summer's death could be blamed on Qrow's Misfortune (in his eyes at least) so he wanted Ruby raised as Taiyang's daughter to protect her from his semblance
Deliza It's referring to the burden of his FIRST name And if Qrow wanted to protect Ruby from his semblance, why the fuck would he teach her the most dangerous weapon in remnant, as Oz put? He's doing a shitty job "protecting" her by staying away
Whenever it said "You don't want the burden of my name" I always thought it said "You're the bird and I'm my name" because I remember a little folktale when I was little about the bird and the crow for some reason, idk if it was an actual tale or not though
are albatrosses bad luck, seems like a wierd line to me edit: huh apparently they aren't but the word albatross is sometimes used metaphorically to mean a psychological burden that feels like a curse.
It's a reference to the "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," story about a man who curses himself and gets his crew killed by shooting an albatross. He is then forced to tell his story to anyone he crosses for the rest of his life.
Holy shit I was just listening to "This Life is Mine," hoping to listen to this song sometime in the next few days when I saw it on the side! Can't say anymore - too busy listening. Edit: Two things to say now that I've listened to it. 1: Yes Yes Yes Yes YEEEEEES I love this song. 2: Qrow is hot in every drawing I've seen, and it's starting to get distracting... (in a good way >_>)
Oh my gosh I did the same thing as you just listening to This life is mine then I saw it and had to tell my older siblings turns out my sister was listening to it without me I was betrayed (^-^*)
Ok who was the one person who disliked? I think it's so annoying how there are just those people that dislike just to dislike. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this song and it's amazing.
Then he would blame himself for it, become depressed, start drinking and distance himself from everyone he loves so they don't end up the same way. I think even though his semblance could of contributed to her demise, doesn't mean it's his fault. What do you think?
This is great but at the same time depressing. I feel so bad for qrow he is cursed by his own simblance and it must make him lonley. Which leaves to wonder, is it his simblance part of the reason why Summer Rose died?
Man this would stuck growing up knowing you bring bad luck to everyone around you. No wonder he drinks, especially that it isn't much of a stretch to assume that he indirectly caused Summer's death
MrThejayvion I can see it as a sort of Zuko Azura relationship from avatar the last airbender. Zuko at one point said something along the lines of "Father says Azura was born lucky. They say I'm lucky to be born". Qrow could have also easily been disowned, he did leave the tribe when Raven stayed.
airplanemaster1 it's basically a battle version of his background theme that always plays when he co.es on screen, the almost lilting opening bars, however, being replaced with darker and heavier guitar chords.
You know, the way this song is set up makes me think it's him talking to someone, trying to push them away saying, "you don't want my name". More proof of summer/qrow anybody???
I've listened to the short version of this song so much, I can mentally fill in the sound of the weapons in the first part.
Haha same, it's distracting in it's own way.

balrog0444 It's referring to the burden of his FIRST name
"you and i are not the same" i always thought that line was a nod to qrow and raven

"you dont want the burden of my name" "and you'll soon regret the day i came to call" its refering to his name and presence only bringing misfortune.

Heda Bee
Unlucky...
You mean...BAD LUCK!!??
@@yogii6787 That was good tho :D
FlyntofRWBY why can't we comment on ur videos anymore
I turn into a bird Ruby! A bird!
Why is my name spelled with a Q?!?!
Did you know that my sister and i were cursed to be BIRDS?!
I don't get it. That sounds exclusively beneficial.
U-Uncle Qrow please stop!
Oh I get it, you want some real emotional investment????
That guitar solo at the very end....YESSS
"Shame I hang my head in constant sorrow"
"Rain on ever day you need the light"
"strain to see some fortune in Tomorrow"
"bane is what I am to every life"
I feel like rwby:chibi could do some fun things with Qrow and Clover. Like heads or tales and its always just landing on the side and things like that
this has got to be the most greatest and dark song i love in all of anime i watch thank you rt and Jeff williams
You don't want the burden of my name
So......Qrow had a lover?
mo vari He's referring to his first name, not last
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
fucking badass song ;-;, don't you dare touch crow. not him ;-;
king of shamans *qrow
P R O T T E C C
Just finished volume 7 and I'm now awaiting the sequel: Lucky you
THANK YOU I COULDNT FIND THE FULL VERSION NOWERE
that's because until now it didn't exist
THANK YOU ANYWAY TT-TT
Cursed black cat?
Mirror?
Hm...
*gasp* you're right! So, is there a way to connect Yang to the albatross? Hm. Her mother is a raven, her full name means golden dragon and her arc this volume has been a Phoenix narrative about rising from the ashes even stronger than before...
Deliza You, sir/ma'am, are amazing!
Tasie Rose no he's not the father of Weiss or Blake
Itachi Uchiha That's not what I was implying. I meant that those may be references to the two characters, as Weiss' character song is 'Mirror Mirror' and Blake is a cat Faunus.
Nice profile pic, my dude.

or it just has to do with crows are bad luck and his name is qrow

Gotta love uncle Qrow
Drunkle Qrow = best uncle. :>
VaxyWolf24 IKR
He definitely deserves better
"Trust one thing
Take my advice
If you linger close
It's a hefty price"
I love it!! I wonder what it would sound like as a lullaby.... I love lullabies so I think it would sound really nice. Love this song!
Holy shit I was just listening to "This Life is Mine," hoping to listen to this song sometime in the next few days when I saw it on the side!
Can't say anymore - too busy listening.

It's finally here. Thank god. I might actually buy the album.

*punches*
Ok who was the one person who disliked? I think it's so annoying how there are just those people that dislike just to dislike. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this song and it's amazing.
that one dislike was from either Raven or Tyrain
Probably the Drunkle himself
@@graceful_rose_thorns most likely both of them
Wait, what if Summer died because of Qrow's semblance!?!?!
Then he would blame himself for it, become depressed, start drinking and distance himself from everyone he loves so they don't end up the same way. I think even though his semblance could of contributed to her demise, doesn't mean it's his fault. What do you think?
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
@@alphiadonna3349 Now he sounds even more like a book character I like. Huh. Good theory.
*Well...*
*That's... Unfortunate.*
*Hey...*
*Stay strong for me, kiddo...*
*I think...*
*I'm gonna see your mother soon.*
The scariest thing about this is that it may happen in the final volume
@@accipiter160 OH GEEZ, if so I will cry!
If they kill Qrow then flipping LAWSUIT
NO NO NO If Qrow dies I will actually sob
Protect precious Qrow
I feel the exact same..... I always somehow bring trouble and harm to others...... but I'm not a badass like Qrow
Is it bad that this song described me so well
The day I came to *CAW*
heck...what has Crow gone through specifically because of his semblance, somehow I doubt it's only because of his team
YES I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
DEAR FUCKING GOD I LOVE THIS SONG
Qrow is a precious bean and we need to hug him
This is great but at the same time depressing. I feel so bad for qrow he is cursed by his own simblance and it must make him lonley.
Which leaves to wonder, is it his simblance part of the reason why Summer Rose died?
darkqueen gem *semblance
Man this would stuck growing up knowing you bring bad luck to everyone around you. No wonder he drinks, especially that it isn't much of a stretch to assume that he indirectly caused Summer's death
Or that assumes he caused it
i can't be the only one who finds the picture creepy..
Woosled you're not.
its the nose I think
The eyes are off putting too.
Ditto
They fucked up on his cross that's all the stands out to me
If anyone deserves to be a bad luck charm its Raven not Qrow
MrThejayvion true
MrThejayvion I can see it as a sort of Zuko Azura relationship from avatar the last airbender. Zuko at one point said something along the lines of "Father says Azura was born lucky. They say I'm lucky to be born". Qrow could have also easily been disowned, he did leave the tribe when Raven stayed.
KP HS Well even without the right semblance Raven causes misfortune good enough on her own
Qrow lookin' a bit like Noctis from FFXV when he gets angry as fuck
Lexrayz yep
Qrow needs a hug... Who wants to get close enough to give it to him?
I'll give him a hug he needs it. I might set on fire but that's fine, right? Qrow is a precious peice of cargo and we must protect him.
Me!!
someone called me?
feel the exact same way...its sad.
Anyone else notice this is song almost like a more-developed version of the song that played when Qrow fought Winter in Volume 3?
airplanemaster1 it's basically a battle version of his background theme that always plays when he co.es on screen, the almost lilting opening bars, however, being replaced with darker and heavier guitar chords.
yeah
damn your fast with lyrics videos is this your youtube career now
the one person who disliked must not be a qrow fan
no shit
It was Raven
OMG YESS!!!
the 1st 40 seconds dont need to be there in my opinion
Say what you will about RWBY, but it has a kickass soundtrack.
Why does Qrow look like Dean from supernatural
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh
You know, the way this song is set up makes me think it's him talking to someone, trying to push them away saying, "you don't want my name". More proof of summer/qrow anybody???
John Blue No, he's referring to the burden of his first name
No, it's the burden of his name in general like his 1st name I'll give you a like for comfort doe
WHY IS MY NAME SPELLED WITH A Q
He can turn into a bird!
True fans will why he feels this way is because he was cursed to turn into birds and his name is spelt with a Q
Wait is the letter Q not a good sign or something? Cause I'm kinda confused so ... I'd like to know what it means
@@rajulahori2727 its a joke jello apocalypse
I CAN TURN INTO ABIRD RUBY!!! A BIRD!!!
so emo
now that i think about it it suit Itachi uchiha if any of you people watch naruto im making a fanfic of these 2!
This is actually just the one Flynt posted, with different text.
The colour of the text is even the same.
No it was a coincedence, Flynt commented on this video.
