  • Anduin is a priest, so would that make his music... ...a Lightmotif?
  • @muticere
    Blizzard's art departments know what tf they're doing even if other departments, not so much.
  • Oof. I'm Horde to the core, but Anduin's theme is enough to fill me with Alliance patriotism. And then Saurfang's theme jolts me right back to my own side. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
  • @Prebz100
    If you dont get it, you havent watched enough Sideways vids
  • @emerald4splash
    well, that's more themes per minute then in Infinity war so
  • Wrynn's theme gives me chills every time. I've become so invested in Anduin's story as I've grown up along side him, I'm only a couple years older then his canonical age. And to be honest, my philosophical journey mirrors his as well.
  • @darryshan
    That Horde theme needs more use as the expansion continues. It's just so... Perfect. Makes me tear up every time.
  • Damn, never played WoW but the music's got me hyped. The music really expands the emotion in each scene in a way that some movies scenes can do
  • @Pugpono
    Oh yes, very clever Blizzard. Glad you pointed that out Sideways. Good show! [Actually has no idea what’s going on and is guessing it has something to do with leitmotif].
  • @aevenstar100
    Jaina's theme is another that just blows me away every time. She sort of has 2 now, the 'Jaina Homeland/Theramore' theme, and 'Daughter of the Sea', both used to amazing effect throughout Battle for Azeroth in various places.

    Yo Sideways, just wanted to say that you’re my favorite YouTube creator, and I look forward to every video! 👏🎵
  • @Valkyrien04
    This entire video is just a hard flex on the predictions from how to kill a king.
  • I was wondering when you'd make something on this. Motifs, man. I'm especially fond of Saurfang's, it's so simple, two notes to start with a sliding glissando, then a resolution found in the notes to come. I'm so excited to see where the story goes. #noshouldersforoldsoldiers

    Was lucky to play in a concert with one of this game's composers (Neil Acree) conducting when I was seventeen. I'm not a fan of the games, but the music is great!
  • @Levicopter
    oh my God i found you today and I've been binging your videos. I LOOOOOOOVE music and how it's being used to represent something and I have literally no one to talk to about it haha. one of my favourites is probably used in Starcraft 2 where they established a "Love Theme" and you can hear it mixed in cutscene and cinematic tracks and you only ever hear it completely when HOTS credits roll.
  • @nadchan2043
    Man I love Anduin's theme a lot. S T A N D A S O N E
  • @jsswift87
    Have you guys ever noticed the theme song for Dazar Alor has that pedal point on 'D' then the chords over the top are: dminor-aminor-dminor-aminor etc changing with each note of the melody. The music is literally spelling out "Dazar Alor" :) It's not only an epic sounding theme, but this little tid bit really tickles me.
