We need more heroes like Matoro in fiction. People who conquier their fears and have the strength to give up everything for the sake of those they love.

That story was first one that brought me to tears. I’ve never felt so much after closing a book… the music, the movie, it brought it all back and four months later I keep returning to listen to it again. This sadness, it’s feels like I’m looking back to a moment I experienced, a moment to powerful for me to comprehend, yet it carried so much weight, yet there’s what I could only name as hope. A hope that we have a future, like we’ve been given a glimpse of it, maybe not just a glimpse of the future, but the potential for us all…

I didn’t even notice you gave Matoro’s Sacrifice a gentle rendition of “Move Along”… It’s just so beautfiul!

[Dudefroggers]

The references to other classic bionicle tunes integrated into Matoro's sacrifice are an amazing, and bittersweet detail. I can tell a kot of passion was out into this project, and the music used in it. Good work!

[OrionPaxG]

I thought the beats of “Move Along” and “Crashed” sounded familiar but I couldn’t put a name to them until this video pointed them out. Very nice renditions! They are amazingly good remixes that sound just nostalgic yet beautiful. And don’t even get me started on the track used from the movies!

I didnt realize when clicking this video I was consenting to being made to cry all over again.

Absolutely phenomenal job to everyone involved in the production.

[ThePrinceofElPaso]

The Quest does such a good job of conveying a sense of futility and tragedy. Its so good!!!

[filoreykjavik]

"Matoro's Sacrifice" is perfect, it stood out among other pieces of music in your film.

[SnifyWisper]

Bionicle is the most beautiful community of creatives I have ever seen. It is an honor to be a part of it.

[Willowofdarkness]

When the guitar hit's on Matoro's Sacrifice, I had tears in my eyes man.
That hit hard. It was beautiful.
Thank you !

[svenabel]

Oh you are a blessing, I hardly found any of the music and having them compiled here is just perfect

[frankunodostres]

all of these are amazing but matoro's sacrifice stands out to me because it was crafted with so much love and attention to detail!
the beach chant into the move along melody and the legends of metru nui guitar solo... I guess that's what 20+ years of nostalgia do to you but I can't remember the last time an instrumental piece has evoked so many strong emotions!

[clockworks]

The last two pieces are filled with so much emotion that even I can't help but feel something strong listening to it. They perfectly encapsulate everything that character of Matoro and the short film stands for. You and everyone who worked on it deserve every shred of praise coming your way. Thanks for bringing to life one of the most important moments in Bionicle.

[violetfarris]

FUCK YES THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED

[cpafol]

This is literally going to be my repeat chill vibes playlist for the foreseeable future. So calming 🌆

[SiMnx]

Did anyone else find Arend's _The Quest_ reminiscent to Max Richter's _On the Nature of Daylight...?_

[PH]

yes! thank you so much for this! my personal favourite soundtrack from this film was.... well I love all of it but the most significant part for me was Matoro's Sacrifice. It's such a significant moment of the Bionicle Story line and to see, hear and feel this moment to come to life was really emotional. I hope one day, the story of Bionicle will be shared again.... in the big screen

[altrizon]

Perfect touch to an already masterful animation!

[MrCOLBSTAH]

I'll be Beat blasting this in my ears like any good le-matoran should.

[SiMnx]

I've tried searching these songs on spotify and youtube, which leads me to ask...

Were all these original? Cos if so, then I'm amazed over how beautiful they are ❤
