On the last CD, we put all of the score "cues" (that's what we call music written for a scene) into order chronologically, so there was a song on the CD for each of the episodes. I've seen it said a few times that, although this is nice for re-living the episodes, that it might be better to have the various cues assembled in more of a 'matching vibe/energy' type fashion. So, you'd organize them more as "here's a song that gives you a lot of high energy action cues" and "here's a bunch of mellow stuff", that sort of thing.
What do you think? (of course, this only has to do with the score-the instrumental stuff-not the songs).

"Die" lyrics
4 years ago
williamsNews
We're not going to be releasing any more singles this year. basically because-they aren't done! The RWBY production schedule is quite a bit more aggressive this year, so I can't really stop and complete any of these little song snippets that you hear. The good news is that there are a lot of songs that you'll be hearing throughout the rest of Volume 2. So, don't check iTunes until the full Soundtrack CD is available.
as always BIG GIANT HUGE THANK YOU to you all, you are so very kind to us
"Die"
it was just fine
we lived in peace
looked to a happy ending
the days were bright
they shined like gold
every step ascending
our dreams came true
our path was clear
the moon watched safely from above
but every smile
is not the same
and every heart's not filled with.....
love for mankind
look around it's getting very hard to find
not every open wound is simply healed by time
but revenge is always sweet
and chaos is the prize
feel it everywhere and you see it growing
enemies arise and the hate is flowing
shattering the moon and bloodying the sky
the machines of war will fuel both sides
and the greed will only grow more lies
farewell to days of peace cuz now it's time to die -

Time to Say Goodbye lyrics
4 years ago
williamsNews
theres a point where it tips
theres a point where it breaks
theres a point where it bends
and a point we just can't take
anymore
theres a line that we'll cross
and there's no return
theres a time and a place
no bridges left to burn
anymore
we can't just wait with lives at stake
until they think we're ready
our enemies are gathering
the storm is growing deadly
now its time to say goodbye
to the things we loved
and the innocence of youth
how the time seemed to fly
from our carefree lives
and the solitude and peace we always knew
theres a day when we'll fight
and we're not gonna fall
theres a day when we'll stand
and a day when we won't crawl
anymore
there's a moment in time
and there's no going back
when we're pushed too hard
and we won't hold our attack
anymore
we can't just cling to childish things
as evil just grows closer
humanity's in jeopardy
this fight is far from over
now its time to say goodbye
to the things we loved
and the innocence of youth
with a doubt in our minds
why we chose this life
and at times we can't help wondering...
were we born to fight and die?
sacrificed for one huge lie?
are we heroes keeping peace?
or are we weapons?
pointed at the enemy
so someone else can claim a victory?
now its time to say goodbye
to the things we loved
and the innocence of youth
how the time seemed to fly
from our carefree lives
and the solitude and peace we always knew -

I Burn lyrics
5 years ago
williamsNews
come at me
and you'll see
I'm more than meets the eye
you think that
you'll break me
you're gonna find in time
you're standing too close to a flame thats burning
hotter than the sun in the middle of July
sending out your army but you still cant win
listen up silly boy cuz i'm gonna tell you why
i burn
can't hold me now
you got nothing that can stop me
i burn
swing all you want
like a fever i will take you down
reign supreme?
in your dreams
you'll never make me bow
kick my ass?
i'm world class
and super saiyan now
you're starting up a fight that you just cant finish
watch the little hearts while they scrape you off the floor
bringin out your rockets well shoot em up baby
high as you can go but i'm the one who's gonna soar
chorus
it doesn't have to be this way
let's kiss and make up, then you'll learn
you can fight your life away
i get what I want so don't bother and just watch me burn -
I May Fall lyrics
5 years ago
williamsNews
theres a day when all hearts will be broken
when a shadow will cast out the light
and our eyes cry a million tears
help wont arrive
theres a day when all courage collapses
and our friends turn and leave us behind
creatures of darkness will triumph
the sun won't rise
when we've lost all hope
and succumb to fear
as the skies rain blood
and the end draws near
i may fall
but not like this-it won't be by your hand
i may fall
not this place, not today
i may fall
bring it all-it's not enough to take me down
i may fall
theres a place where we'll stand outnumbered
where the wolves and the soul-less will rise
in the time of our final moments
every dream dies
theres a place where our shields will lay shattered
and the fear's all that's left in our hearts
strength and our courage have run out
we fall apart
when we lose our faith
and forsake our friends
when the moon is gone
and we reach our end
there's a moment that changes a life when
we do something that no one else can
and the path that we've taken will lead us
one final stand
there's a moment we make a decision
not to cower and crash to the ground
the moment we face our worst demons
our courage found
when we stand with friends
and we won't retreat
as we stare down death
then the taste is sweet
i may fall
but not like this -it won't be by your hand
i may fall
not this place, not today
i may fall
bring it all-it's not enough to take me down
i may fall

I'm The One (Estimated lyrics))
Welcome to the bloodbath, took it to the top!
Fist-fight Death-match; come and join the club!
Can't scrape/spare your face from a metal clad boot.
You should give up now! Your retaliations moot! (Oh yeaaah! Ooooh!)
I wanted a break but you took it too far! So I'm gonna make you hurt and I'm gonna make you cry!
You wanna mess around? Well come on lets go! Got no time to waste so lets put up a show!
I'm the one that your mother said, "Don't mess with them or you'll end up dead!" Dead, dead, dead and you'll fall where you are!(?)
You're looking tall! You're looking tough!
But sorry dude, that's not enough! You need to bring twenty four men to win this duel!
The bigger they are then the more they will bleed! The deeper the scars; they won't heal! Buckets of pain as they lie there in shame! No-where to move, this is it!
I'm the one! born in a nightmare of mayhem they said
I'm the gun! fuel builds the pain just a little bit higher
I am done! I can tell what you're thinking, Won't stop by your way!
Delusions! And I'll steal till you're blind, And defeat you from inside your mind!
???? How did i do ???

Hey Jeff. I've been rewatching RWBY Volume 3 and man the Jazz soundtrack in "Never Miss a Beat" gets me everytime. Such an amazing song I wish the Volume 3 soundtrack is out already. That said, I love your work, I love playing music so it's really cool trying to be as good as your musi and keep up the great work! Looking forward to listening and buying your music in the future

Greetings, I found some good music that I think would give you some inspiration. Many of them involve powerful heavy metal music that masterfully captures the character of the boss battle that it's referring to. Here's the first one in the playlist, if you like it, click on the playlist after the video is over.:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMnbipHn9ZE&list=PLnFyS3e3GVCbufx1iue3F_wKpwCNpfBDa&index=1
I also recommend you watch the context of the music in the boss battles, here's a link.

Sooooo. Now that RT has addressed to fans that RWBY isn't family friendly (Which I kinda figured.) Does that mean you won't have to censor yourself when it comes to music anymore? (If you actually had to, maybe it was just your choice to censor a song, and that's cool too!) ...I still have the original uncensored version of 'I Burn' on my phone, and to be honest I always thought those lyrics fit the dark foreshadowing of the series to begin with.

Someone over on the wiki noticed a discrepancy in the lyrics from 8track, compared to the context of the song.
In "Dream Come True"
this line:
Look in every land and port in the world.
was previously interpreted as:
Look, you'll never land a part in her world
--------------------
Some of us feel like the official lyric given by the app might be incorrect, as it doesn't really connect to the rest of the song, and I was wondering if this was a slip-up when entering the lyrics.
------------------
Clarification; i do not speak for the wiki, i just happen to be a member and was discussing the discrenecy with someone else in that comunity.

Fan cover of This Will Be The Day
Thank you for releasing the 8 Tracks app for the RWBY songs Jeff! I had to borrow a friend's Ipad to use the app, but I now gotten a bunch of instrumental tracks to use for my fan vocal covers. I remastered my previous This Will Be The Day cover with the official music track. A much cleaner mix than my previous attempt.

Hey Jeff. So I was wondering if you would put any songs you made for RvB in the 8 Tracks app. I would really like to transcribe "Red vs Blue" and "On your Knees" and some other songs, and with this new app it would be much easier to do. Thanks.

Quick question: Will the song playing when Neon is skating and fighting Yang be separate from the one playing during the rest of the battle (the sort of jazzy remix), or will they be all part of one song like in the episode? I'm hoping the Neon song is a full song, I loved what little bit we heard!
Keep up the great work! I'm saving my traditional fanatical blubbering comment for when the soundtrack is released. Might as well get it all done in one go. :)

Hey Jeff. There's something I've been thinking about for a while, and I figured I should just ask you. When you wrote 'All Our Days,' were you really writing a message to Casey, rather than just another song for RWBY?
I know it's kinda creepy to ask about something like that, but every time I hear that song, the question comes again... I can't escape the idea that the emotion in there is exactly what a father is supposed to feel - the anticipation, the drive to protect, the pride...
Anyway, I love your work. I can't wait to see what else you lot have for the rest of the season.

Hey Jeff! Just wondering if/when we could get the sheet music for "When it Falls". I'm working on a concert band version for fun and it would be much easier if I had the actual notes rather than just guessing. I know someone (I forget who) did the sheet music for volume 1 and 2 songs but idk how long that took and whatnot.
Anyway thanks for answering if you do and I can't wait for the rest of the songs, they are honestly my favorite songs!

Hey Mr. Williams! I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to take up writing lyrics and, by extension, composing music. Because of this, when I'm not writing lyrics complete originals, I practice by writing RWBY-based songs. People I've shown them to really seem to like them, and they keep recommending I should show them to you, so I got an account on here to ask if, uh, you wanted to see one?

Hey Jeff, I want to send you a video that I made in my film editing class. I used stuff from RWBY to make an AMV. My teacher loves it and everyone that I have shown loves it too. I just wanted to see what you thought of it because I used your song Red Like Roses Part II. It's one of my favorite songs you have made for RWBY(but I like all the songs you do for Rooster Teeth as well) So if there is anyway I can get an email address from you, so that I can send you the video. I would just put the link in this message, but I might send it to AMV Contest's so I don't want it online yet until after I do that. So if there is a way I can send it to you let me know. Can't wait to hear what songs you have coming up next.
