Opera Singer Reacts: Firefly Character Demo - Embers in a Shell

It was really cool to check out a bit more about firefly. Seems like a really nice character and genuinely this was super fun to watch. A bit on the nose but there was still a bunch to talk about!

disregard my furrowed brow. I was in hyper attention mode LOL

[cipherth]

You've gotta react to the Embers of Glamoth trailer, the one before this one. It's spectacular, they really outdid themselves with it.

[ChrisMorray]

When she goes into Sam mode the first time, it actually play the leitmotif from her boss theme "Nevermore".

[lakytheshiba]

Btw, the violin on the beginning is the same violin that played when she got stabbed

[JBasilix]

"Big SAM energy" is very descriptive and super silly at the same time. Love it

[AcaciaAvenue]

She was the first of Glamoth Iron Cavalry to realize they were fighting an empty battle (since Glamoth fell), thus acquiring a knowledge that goes beyond what she was created for, and this confuses her, and that's why she wants to strip herself of the reason she was created for and just be free, or rather find a new direction in her life, and add to this the contrast between the destiny of the Iron Cavalry warrior (to burn to ashes in honor) and her will to live.
I love her. Between this and the previous animated short, Hoyo really pushed the marketing for this character to new heights.

Man, that drop generated by her kick, is so nice. I love it!

[Kosmic.Prism]

Stellar analysis, it feels like you've rekindled a bit of the old flame you had in the early stages of your channel, which is lovely to see. I'm glad you seem to be in a better place after you were struggling.

Although it's sad that you're no longer playing them, as long as Hoyoverse music stays on the channel I'll be happy.~

[AHylianWarrior]

Hoyo nailing it out of the park for sure as you said, and here's hoping you'll eventually listen to "Symphony No 8 'A Thousand Suns'" and "Infirma Nostri Corporus" too. They officially released the second half of the soundtrack "The Flapper Sinthome" and it's just FULL of operatic music. The likes of "The Strength of Sin Is the Law" (the high note gives me chills every single time) and "The Sting of Death Is Sin" has especially phenomenal singing mixed with modern instrumentation. Special mention to "Oed' und leer das Meer" for living up to its namesake but also being the most peaceful near 5 minutes of my life (I think there's someone singing in it with a high note but I can't be certain)

[velvety]

This is SPECTACULAR analysis!! Spot-on commentary and work on the thematic elements and musical intricacies/references

[DanblueVGM]

Thanks for the reaction video! Your analysis is very valuable to me as I'm working on a cover of the track right now. I'm sorta new to orchestration and you heard some things that weren't obvious to me at first, but then I heard it!
Awesome and nice that you keep reacting to Hoyo-Mix music even though you don't play the games anymore! Hoyo always kills it with the music.

[Crystalhair]

That violin played in the scene where she got stabbed too in 2.0

[icefire]

The part from 2:40 to 4:26 (in Marco's video, not the trailer) kinda reminds me of HunterXHunter OST, specifically from the Chimera Ant Arc. There are some real gems in that soundtrack.

[intredastingvideos]

I think you will find a few bangers in the totally hidden gem, "Astlibra Revision". Plus you can enjoy an amazing game that will totally catch you off guard. When you first see it, it doesn't catch that much attention but, trust me, it was pretty much my game of the year 2022.

It was made by one guy, a full on gamer, who played everything he was interested in and got bored enough to make his own "perfect" game that he would want to play.

Throughout my playthrough there were like 5 times that I thought it was the final arc of the game lol. I put 200 hours into it if you include the dlc (which is an entire new story).

[Ytaccount]

I really recommend listening to Sundays boss theme!

[KudaGeatsune]

Firefly is just so precious I love her so much~

[anferos_l]

Thank you Marco. By the way, the another 2 official animations of Firefly before this one are epic. I really recommend to watch it. This definitely is Mihoyo best artwork so far.

[zilantu]

need Harmonious Choir : The Great Septimus

[CommandoFett]

I actually think you'd like some of the previous patch OST. The Grand Theater ones, and the Sunday boss battle theme.

[dazz_d]

its nice to watch someone who understands music, ppl hated the last part of the music, complaining that it doesing fit the hype scene and all that.

ppl realy dont understand the message of music. its not always about hype and fighting
