i cried so pathetically when this part came on. Something fictional has never made me so emotional and sad.

Despite the loneliness.
Despite EVERYTHING...

No matter how bad the fandom gets, this will always be a great game. It's greatness outways it's flaws.

I personally don’t believe that anyone will see this. But within the past year all three of my cats have died, this song for once had meaning other than being a pretty song. It was something that felt somewhat relatable and reminds me of all three of them, thank you Toby Fox for this masterpiece. Rest in peace Squirrel, Fluffy, and Prince. Stay determined everyone. (Quick edit but thank you all for the support, I’ve been reading every comment and it means the world to get support from people I don’t even know. You guys are great people❤)

In the words of Papyrus-
"I'm not crying I just have something in my eye. A tear."

[XiaoAndyPugMan]

"Before the song 'UNDERTALE' was completed, it went through a completely different iteration. That version sounded a bit more sad, which I think would have been less effective." -*Toby Fox regarding an unused version of this track, released on the anniversary of the game*
Therein lies what I think makes this track so special.
Many fans praise Undertale for being the saddest track in the game, and I'm not one to disagree. Hell, I've never once been able to listen to the whole track without shedding at least a single tear. And it accompanies one of the most emotionally climactic scenes in the entire game; when every monster you've befriended throughout your journey relays to you a tale. A tale of heartbreak, a tale of sorrow, of death and loss, of a family torn asunder and the hope of an entire civilization extinguished. Why, then, would Toby Fox decide that making the track sadder would lessen its effectiveness?
Because Undertale isn't *about* sadness. It's about hope. Love. Kindness. Compassion. Mercy. And above all, holding onto these precious things in the face of pain and sadness.
That's what this track conveys perfectly, I believe. The tale of the fallen child is undoubtedly a tragedy, the monsters going at length to describe the devastation it wrought on both the Dreemurr family and monsterkind as a whole. The future of humans and monsters had died, and the prince of their world's future along with them. The monsters tell you that at that moment, the underground had lost all hope.
But at that very instant when the narration appears on screen (5:20), the music swells, shifting to a new key; an outburst of hope, joy, unconfined love and compassion. There *is* hope in the underground, and there's hope everywhere. You just have to keep holding on. That's what this track conveys to me.
Yes, this song makes me cry. Not out of sadness, it's not a song about sadness. It makes me cry out of joy. The type of tears that roll down your face and past the edge of your trembling, hopeful smile.
Because you should be smiling, too.
Aren't you excited?







Aren't you happy?






You're going to be free.
