one sad theory I've seen somewhere is the hollow knight had enough of himself left to understand the radiance was inside him and he tried stabbing himself to destroy the radiance but only ended up releasing more infection his body pulled itself back together a safeguard put in place so the vessel can't destroy itself meaning in trying to end the radiance he only made things worse

I also absolutely adore the parts where the chorus mirrors what the knight is saying with a slightly different twist on it, it shows such an interesting difference in the perspectives of the kingdom as a whole versus the much more PERSONAL feelings of the knight which direct themselves more towards the pale king and feeling they failed as a child. another knockout for this incredible package!

I would think mostly calm with a undercurrent of all this emotion because after all the Pure vessel is the hollow knight brought into the godseakers dream, like how Hornet is like do you haunt my dreams or I yours as just the kid of a higher being and Grim is like an "Honour seeker to attend your call, How grand a stage!, A charming ritual... a pleasure!" as he starts with bowing to the godseaker watching as she tries to attune and reach greater and greater heights. though could also be more angry as you are also enchanting the infection while bypassing it's goal of keeping the infection inside as it gets attuned.

Welp, I forgot to write this yesterday, but I'm still going to drop this here anyways. This song is one of the songs I am the most proud of writing, between the emotions and rhymes it just all came together so nicely. This song is one that I really wanted to make sure had the pain, regret, and suffering baked into it just right to convey the struggle of the Hollow Knight. A fun fact, originally this song was written with the intent to be sung by the dreamers at the start, then between the Hollow Knight and The Knight for the majority, ending with Hornet watching at the end. Alex actually had the idea to instead spin the lyrics to let the Hollow Knight shine more and have the other parts sung by the chorus of Hollownest and I think that was a brilliant call because while some lyrics had one meaning when sung by the Knight, they take in a whole different spin when sung by the people of Hollownest and I love it. Because I'm late I'm not going to get into some of the more deeper lyrics dives this time, sorry if you were looking forward to that x.x I have to give major credit where it is due, without Steel voicing the Hollow Knight, I'm not sure they pure raw emotions would be at the forefront as he did a phenomenal job showing the tortured and suffering HK who just wanted to make their father proud and save the kingdom. Everyone in the chorus did an amazing job bringing the erie factor and everyone there did a great job. The art pieces, while more focused on a single point in the journey I think do a good job of capturing that moment and the light in the HKs eyes as they try their best to contain the light. Of course the second piece focusing on the HK struggling l, trying to do their duty while clearly suffering, the emotions conveyed are just phenomenal. Great job Flamia & Wisp, I love them so much. Of course without the mixing team we wouldn't have the finished product we have now and I think they did just a perfect job blending all the voices and making it sound like all the correct emotions at all the different parts. Emmy and Tom, you two did a spectacular job as always, keep being amazing you guys! Welp, that's all this week, I hope you enjoyed the song of Hollow Knight everybody!

Some people think that the HK should have a monotone voice or no voice at all, but a voice of such raw emotion is perfect for HK. The Pale Kings plan was inherently flawed from the start, you cannot have an emotionless being. But even despite the plan being flawed from the start, PK made it worse. He shared moments with HK like at the end of path of pain and treated them like a child, building more emotions in the HK, yet it repressed them to protect everyone else’s (and their) lives. Yet this was their downfall. This feeling of duty and purpose built up even more pain and suffering. No matter how much they held the emotions down so the Radiance couldn’t control them, they leaked and allowed the infection to spread. So When the knight made its way into the HK’s deathbed and they knew that this was their end, they let all their held down emotions out in one last burst of life. A being defined by its lack of emotion actually being filled of emotion, it’s poetically depressing. Beautifully made lyrics for a beautifully made song

I love the somber tone of the chorus with "We will stop the spread... alone." Even though infection has consumed the kingdom, their makers are gone, and there's almost nobody left to protect, the Vessels/Void/whoever you decide the chorus represents still decide they will stop the infection. No allies, no help coming, against impossible odds. And as the Hollow Knight falls further into despair, their repetition becomes more determined. Almost as if, "in the end the light is in their eyes", *so* "infection must end", and "we still stop the spread." The other vessels aren't stopping the infection to please their father, but to avenge their sibling, and to make sure nobody else will suffer the same fate ever again. It's a very interesting interpretation of the game's events I haven't fully considered before.

Actually, I did interpret as him talking to the knight, but not as in he is going to kill him, but telling him to just give up completely as he has had the infection already and is sure that the knight can’t handle it

2:18 4:40 Every instance of "I still failed in the end!" makes my heart squeeze in ALL the right ways. I always react to this lyric specifically whenever I have this playing.

I always enjoyed this song. It’s no triumphant battle, but instead you’re fighting a broken sibling, torn down over countless years, stuck in its own failure. A pained soul, brought to a merciful end

This song is so good, you can hear in their voice that they aren't mad at the Pale king, but at themselves for failing the duty, the hollow knight think's their fault that the infection is spreading when in reality is that the radiance was just too much powerful for any other being (other than the void)

That "NO!" was so good like wtf steel

I just love how Steel connoted the "Don't think you'll win" line. No arrogance or self-confidence like you'd expect from a final boss, but instead sadness and a feeling of impending doom as the Hollow Knight is just your matured sibling and from a purely technical view should be better than you in any way. They failed so why should you, the tiny version of them, be successfull? The Hollow Knight believed to be the perfect vessel, but failed in the end, just like everything else did, and so you, a mere clone of thousands, lucky to even have come somewhere after being given life, should face the Hollow Knight, seal the infection and save whatever is left of the kingdom?

2:26 What a sould-wrenching scream, holy shit????

2:28 is the absolute best part of this song. As the chorus (which I imagine is made of the shades, and the knight), talks about their similarities, the hollow knight is silent When they diss the king, the knight gets this burst of determination, shouting over the chorus, and proclaiming their unyielding love. Such a shame they could not continue

All of these hollow knight songs are done beautifully, the lyrics work really well with the music to help bring out the emotion. I’m gonna be low-key devastated if none of these songs end up on Spotify

I really love the difference between the part with two lyrics, how one states the facts as they are of the wyrm sending them to the abyss and the mother birthing them but hollow lets his emotions slip stating they were saved and loved since they were the only one to actually experience the wyrm and pale lady's love even when that was what made them impure later on

I love the fact that The hollow Knight’s Lyrics show emotion “Loved by our mother” while the other voice lacks it “Born from our mother” Edit) That could also be the neglect of their mother because all vessels except the hollow knight were “cast down” so it would be that they weren’t loved by their mother. A better pair of lines that show the Hollow knight’s emotion is “There can’t be another”/“There can be another” may come from the fact that the hollow knight didn’t want to be a failure to his father (whom they had probably developed feelings for as we see at the end of the path of pain (nice reference with that btw)). However later in the song and in the actual fight he realizes this when they sing “Father see your broken child” and in the fight starts attacking themself and using more infection based attacks. Whereas the other voice always knew he couldn’t do it. Probably because the other voice just walked through an infected crossroads to get there which is an obvious sign that the hollow knight couldn’t contain the infection so there needed to be another (vessel) in order to contain the infection and in other endings end it for good. As you can tell i am a massive fan of this game and just yesterday i got the pure heart achievement.

The bias of how Hollow refers its parents and the lack of it in the knight, the emotional tone and the monotone, cold tone clashing, etc. I think the "there can/CANT be another" is the contrast of how the knight and THK want to end the infection (in dream no more at least). "Another" as in "another solution". THK doesn't seem any other option but to contain the source, the Knight want to end the problem by its root.

I like to think one of the reasons HK didn't want to fail and fought their sibling (besides being controlled by a literal moth) was because they knew that the knight would only absorb the radiance and take their place, and they didn't want anyone else to suffer what they did

6:01 "The Kingdom forgot Lost to time, lost to rhyme." Where did i hear that? "Our bodies they forgot Lost to time, lost to rhyme"

Hornet also makes a reference. "Shell within the void, you would seek the end." Hornet's lyric "Shell within the void, know this is the end." Original lyric

"No will to break, No mind to think, No voice to cry my suffering" bro father like son fr

This was great! You did a really great job reflecting the hollow knights desire to make his father proud, the suffering the they went through. It catches this melacholy, this tragedy so well. This is by far my favorite song, both of the original OST and of your adaptations.

pls put this in spotfy

2:44, This is incredible, it conveys how the Hollow Knight feels of his parents despite the fact that they bassically raised him just to be chained up, and it shows how he failed by believing his parents loved him

Well they themselves are kind of to blame, especially the pale King who basically sabotaged his own plan by treating the hollow Knight as a son up until its imprisonment with the radiance.

Thank you for watching! Spread the word, we're really proud of this production. :)

No mind to think... no will to break... no voice to cry suffering... No choice but to add this to my favorites...

This was already my 2nd favorite song from the entire game and this cover definitely makes it justice I adore Steel's performance here so much

AAAAAA this made my day holy crap!! Of COURSE it was Steel!

I literally need to add to this cause it came to me after I listened to the song a few more times, but everything after the "NO" hits me extra hard, so many good lines, like, "Father left his broken child alone" and, "My cup runneth over. Please let this be over" and the full "No mind to think, no will to break" etc. personalized for the Hollow Knight. And the second utterance of "We all fail in the end. I still failed in the end!" DESTROYS me.

If I had a nickel every time Steel sang as a character who gives me existential depression I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's still strange it happened twice

this is such a great cover! The almost religious start, the pain in the voice of the hollow knight with the maliconic chorus in the background perfectly captures the true essence of the fight against the best character of the game and a really tragic character in general.

This is genuinely so well made. The Hollow Knight's screams throughout the song really show how much pain it is in... the singing of everyone is absolutely magnificent... just, in general, I love this so much.

"We all fail in the end" "I still failed in the end!" It is perfect. It seems that the hollow knight tries to convince himself that the plan failed, but in the end he realizes that he was the only one who failed.

The last time I was so touched by anything about this game is when I learned THK crawls and does this little weak swing towards the very end of the battle. Seeing Stelyos in the title I already knew I will be emotionally destroyed in the best way, but this... I was afraid I'd be overhyped for this song but it is way beyond everything I could imagine

I love how at the end of the first section THK says what they think while the chorus says what the truth actually is

The amount of chills that I got at 4:53 is insane, best lyrics for this song by a long shot.

@@Znae629yes because this is my most awaited MOTI song I have been wanting this since the original hornet spooktober

I love that " No will to break. No mind to think. No voice to cry my suffering" sort of talks about how the knight is shackled by the radiance and the infection. JUST. THIS SCRATCHES MY BRAIN IN ALL THE RIGHT WAYS! THE GROWLS. THE KEY CHANGES. THE- AAAAAAA. JUST AWESOME.

That echo of the voice is the best detail of music

I got chills, the pure emotions in his voice were truly wonderful

This makes our wait for Silksong better, Got to love how amazing this is!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!! This was the song everyone was waiting for, by far the most cinematic battle and song in the entire soundtrack. It's perfect musical material to follow the course of this scene and battle. The chorus beckoning the Vessel to the Hollow Knight, urging it forward in its journey despite the knowledge of what's to come... and then the battle begins. Immediately the Hollow Knight screams out, shouting its only mission, its failure, the torment of years failing to seal in the infection, even now it still clouding its mind. But finally, a moment of clarity. With another scream, it pulls away from the infection, fighting back, solemnly apologizing for its failure, reciting its pessimistic cries, wanting all this to end and yet not truly with the Vessel should continue its mission. But finally in its torment, it falls, the chorus only hoping for the brave, selfless Hollow Knight, who gave everything to stop the infection, to finally rest. The scene is silent, watching as the Vessel is sealed in in its place, unable to voice its own thoughts on the matter. The chorus doesn't continue until it, like the viewer, is sealed out. Only voicing a quiet goodbye, and end to this sorry tale.

Incredible, takes the original track and makes it even more emotional.

Absolute perfection. Sealed vessel has always been my favourite of the hollow knight soundtrack, and this incredible version has rendered me speechless. Steel did a perfect job portraying the pain and anguish of the hollow knight, and the chorus just enhanced the emotion and almost brought me to tears. ❤

I think the characterization of the music is incredible, it is not an epic song from the end of history, it is a melancholic and suffering song, perfectly reflecting the Hollow Knight

You know, your songs really shows how sad hollow knight is. I can feel the fate of the characters. Thanks for this.

BROO, The vocals on here are CRAZY GOOD (especially THK'S, emotional and well done)

this literally gives me chills every time i listen. not many songs can do that so congrats

That SYNCRHONY- wow. Simply phenomenal.

I can't put into words how good this is. It's the perfect ending to a fantastic series of songs for an outstanding game. All of which would fit in a series or movie of the same game. That and it's not over. These songs inspire determination than in all honestly makes me want to play Silksong even more! You all keep outdoing yourselves! Everyone involved, you're all amazing!

Radiance: Hello there

1:26 For those who dont wish to hear Dreamers and wish to skip straight to Sealed Vessel...for..some reason.

This gives me Megalovania vibes and i love it! And the "lost to rhyme, lost to time" reference... chills

The Hollow Knight's mentality of "I know I failed but I cannot let another suffer as I have" is perfect.

Those lines in the middle were Hollow Knight quotes what was said when you visited the Birthplace- that broke me. It made me cry more than fighting the boss in game did

This is just...…. incredible. The amount of small details in the lyrics I notice every time I watch this is amazing. 100% one of the best ones yet in my opinion

I have to say, my favorite part of this whole song had to be the chorus during the “I still failed” just such pure emotion from the hollow knight, saying the lines from someone who would love their mother, while the chorus (discarded vessels I assume) say “born from our mother” they wouldn’t really know what it meant to be loved. The melody during it is so well done too, with that final “NOOO!” At the end just making it all the better. Amazing work everyone who contributed to this.

No will to break No mind to think A voice to sing suffering

I absoultely LOVE the growl in his voice and screaming. Didn't expect steel to play him but he did he perfectly.

man i love this so much, the lyrics are so heartbreaking and have so much emotion, god it hurts so good

Man Steel is on a role this month. Last week he did Two Planet’s Approach the Roche’s Limit on Juno’s channel and now this? It’s always such a treat to hear his magnificent voice.

When you realize that the Hollow Knight's desire to save everyone was what let the Radiance possess it too.

It’s so surreal to hear Steel sound not so calm cool and collected. He did amazing voicing Hollow Knight!

Why was this song the only one left out of the Hollow Knight Album on Spotify? I need my Hollow Boy screaming in agony on there!!!

Such a great song love the emotion in it especially the yell halfway through just the” nooo”

ohhh this slapped. this utterly slapped. personally, I remember steel best from his work as sans, and *goddamn* did he deliver here too. the hollow knight may have no voice to cry suffering but goddamn do they have a voice to sing it! and the lyrics, augH! utterly heartbreaking! I'm going to be listening and relistening to the full hk bytes package so SO many times I think. (I've already been listening to everything out so far quite often, and I suspect this is about to join the many, many often replayed songs from y'all.) incredible work, everyone!

The pain of the Hollow Knight was reflected perfectly
