This song is highly popular between the Arknights community cause it is the main song for 2 of the most popular characters in the game, their story is heartbreaking and the events in the game makes them possibly the most wanted playable characters for the game.

Always remember that Yelena officially died as Operator

[MizukiStone]

Serene... yeah that fits for Patriot. The man is two hundred years old, and far, far too many of them were as an active soldier. He has watched his life die, he killed his son ignorantly in the line of duty, and after finally finding a flash of happyness in the form of a new daughter (the bunnygirl who first shows up in the image) he ends up leading even her into a conflict that would claim her life. Never once did his path waver, though it did change indirection, never once did he doubt, though he had changed his mind. A patriot, absolute in conviction and entirely numb to hardship.

[nacl]

Ah yes. Depression song.

With Depression Rabbit, and Depression Wendigo.

What's beautiful (and tragic) with Requiem is the lyrics. They come from a Russian poem of the same name written by Anna Akhmatova. It talks about the suffering of the people during the Great Purge. Which with Arknights tragic lore and associated characters, fits perfectly.

EDIT : Yes I commented before I finished the video lol

This is one of my favorite songs in arknights, if you know the story of the characters this song is unbelievably tragic. Marco also did a video on this song I recommend you check it out.

If you can imagine the pain Patriot (Buldrokkas'tee) must have felt when he lost not only his wife and his son, but his adopted daughter (Frostnova, as featured in the video) too, and in the very end, he lost his own life. He has nothing left, not even his very own life.

0:28 "Thats different"

0:40 "...oh"

Same bro, same. 😔

[HIWTYLSL]

Sadknights time, nice. Maybe Hellagur’s theme is next

[JullOxW]

I saw this in my feed, I clicked. No "to watch later". Requiem means a lot, and this song deserve praise and respect.

Love FrostNova and Patriot 🙏

[chaosstripe]

Ah yes, Frostnova and Patriot.

Also known as how to make any actual Arknights player depressed in 3 seconds.

[Sintrania]

This is not a sad song it’s a tragedy that’s long passed and sadness is just what accompanies it.

[RazwelH]

It Alway brings the feeling of "Those freeze came from the unbounded snow storm eat up every single bone and clawing in your soul" Since the song dropped in 2020, serenity but ruthless and grief.😢

[Piquliar]

This is one of the most powerful songs in Ak for me along with Winter Absolution and the relatively newer Sentenced.

[ps-hagrid.]

I guess to balance out all the sadness this one brought, Magic Theorem would be a good option for the next song in line.

[luminaryrevision]

oh
oh dear you hadn't listened to this one yet

Welp next up should be Proshchaniye (Hellagur's theme, listed on the EP as [Прощание])

Requiem and Proshchaniye are two of my favorite songs to sing, I'm a big fan of minor keys and the sound of the Russian language

[mistared]

Arknights, oddly enough, has a couple of songs in Russian and almost all of them are pretty great, iirc all of the Russian songs are pretty sombre.

[RubeliteRiver]

Ahh Requiem, a very pretty sad piece.

[cookiesandstreams]

dang. I love this song but I didn't know mr. liberovsky was such a snack. what a voice on that man.

[hessianqrow]

T Minis 7 Days Till Season 2 of the anime all shall know the pain of this song 😢
