For Narmer is the heartbreaking opposite of one of the songs you reacted to back then "We all lift together", the moment we saw happened to everyone we helped out before the New War, it made it personal.

I feel like the important context for this song is that this is sung by the same people (in game) who sang We All Lift Together after the main villain breaks them and takes over.

"It's very hypnotic"... considering what's happening in the story, you have no idea how much of an understatement that is ^.^

More than a person, Narmer is a would-be "country", the unification of all colonies and planets under Narmer leadership, following the Orokin remnant Ballas and the Sentient faction under Erra, both united in an attempt to control he Origin System. As you could see in the lyrics they aren't fond of dissention or independent thought. The Narmer would use machines called Veils to mind control people using their dreams and aspirations agains them

You and Marco(meatball) should do a chat about Warframe's music sometime, since y'all both have pretty different musical backgrounds I think it could be a fun discussion

I always love Warframe music, ever since they started the cinematic quests, it's been great.

time to come to the dark side. Let me play through the entire story with you, if you dare.

One more Warframe song you gotta look at, a space sea shanty, "Sleeping in the Cold Below"

This was a good one. Feel free to geek out over it.

People already gave you some context in the comment, but didn't see anyone pointing out yet that this song is almost 'identical' with We All Lift Together (as other comments explained, this is sung by same people who sing We All Lift Together). You can sing this song's lyrics with We All Lift Together's music and vice versa and it was intentional. I suggest listening both back to back for full experience while paying attention to lyrics too! Because both lyrics and how the songs are sung are also telling the story of who sing it; Solaris United was a group of people wanting independence from Corpus and always worked together towards that personal freedom. It also shows in the first song; they don't sing in sync, song is kinda 'all over the place' etc. they are individuals working for the same goal and For Narmer is sung by these same people, brainwashed with 'Veils' by Ballas to the idea of 'All As One' (so no individualism exist, they all praise only Ballas) and it's reflected in the song; they all sing in sync, no personal quirks, only one harmony 'All As One' - which is exactly what made this song really hit in the feels when we came across it on the quest.

As mentioned by a bunch of other people, these are the same people as in "We All Lift Together", after they had been taken over and turned into a hive mind, evidenced by the line "Virtue once was work together... but virtue now is lift alone" Its especially crushing after they fought to be free from their work that the first line is "healed the pain of independence" and later "Where once we dreamt of independence...Now we stand and dream alone"

From the strong feeling and perserverance of "We all lift Together" to such a defeated tone and sad song as "For Narmer"...when i heard that first time it made it personal against Ballas.

I love how the music gives the feeling that it is over, they are lifting together still but no longer for their freedom. It really made me want to free them and at the same time get back at Ballas

When they sing "Here today we sing our story" you can hear the beginning notes of This is What You Are in the background

Hearing them sing for Ballas and being almost hopeless against the war, man this part of the game gave me chills, I love how Warframe has improved with the story quests and they're banger after banger, and the music is superb! Also those "differences" you can hear at the second half of the song, are more like a "leitmotif" it appears during various OST from the game, as an example you can hear it at the beginning of This is What You Are. Thanks for the video!

"i dont know who narmer is but damn they have done something great for this character" ohh if only he knew🤐

Basically, Its a Callback of "We All Lift Together", Fortuna is a Colony in Debts with The Corpus, and They Singed that like a work song, Narmer is a Faction leaded by Ballas who took Lotus, Sended the tenno to idk where though a portal, and then conquered the others places, like the Grineers and Corpus, and the Peoples from Cetus and Fortuna (Deimos was left alone bruh) And He Brainwashed Everyone, thats really fuc up Cause you can Still hear "We All Lift Together" in "For Narmer"

A song of a crushed rebellion they have been crushed and now they are all one under the banner of narner

6:13 is the opening phrase from This Is What You Are and also features in the opening cinematic (probably elsewhere too). It serves as a motif for you being presented with a mystery or discovering something.

A super cool thing about the new war quest is that its a near parallel of the unification of egypt, when the king Narmer like in warframe brought egypt together under one religion of the sun god Horus. Though it was suggested that he did this peacefully there where depictions of narmer smiting lower Egypts religion. (Fun fact : narmer written down means painful catfish)

get chills every time i listen to this

It's honestly a really jarring contrast to We All Lift Together. Genuinely makes you so mad/sad once you encounter it in the playthrough

There is another song called ,,Sleeping in the cold below". It is the introduction of an dark and lonely Warframe, which is searching for survivors in the void. I really recommend this one man.

A fun thing to do with this song is to mash it up with its equal and opposite "We All Lift Together". I think you can play both songs at the same time and it sounds pretty cool.

the rythm of the first part of the song reminds me a lot of the intro to eminem's "till I collapse"

its cool how this and we all lift are arranged the same way

After absolutely loving "We all life together", this song almost brings a tear to my eye. =(

This song is absolutely heartbreaking in context. I implore you to listen to We All Lift Together, compare these two. The impact of this song in game was so incredibly heavy. I was in tears, it was a cold agonizing descent into the immediate aftermath of the defeat you just suffered and Keith Powers really drags you in viciously, and by your heartstrings with this one. It was really amazing watching your reaction to this song, it really is a stellar piece of music.

this video just doesnt meant much when he only pays attention to the melody. The lyrics and the fact that its a twisted version of Fortunas Theme is what really makes it significant

i heard somewhere that For Narmer was either a progression flip or chord flip of We All Lift Together. don't know how true that is. but if it is, that's cool

War frame is one of my favorite games 🥰

Warframe's one of those games that keeps expanding, soundtrack included. Whispers In the Walls soundtrack is gutteral and worth a listen!

It's surprising none of his patrons has asked for Sleeping in the Cold Below yet...

1:49 i never noticed that, so cool

With most of Warframe music and same with this one context is important

The devs wanted to make players feel like they have lost everything and all the people saved and everything achieved has been annihilated This is usually the point where you realise you are really going to war with the game's story and are not coming out of it for literal hours The song also hit really hard like a thousand needles considering the story, in a way its crushing and very oppressive but somehow it does it without being aggressive

Before: We All Lift Together! \o/ A song of hope! Now - 6:23 - Virtue once was work together - But virtue now is lift alone... (The hope... Is gone.)

This music is so great i love it

The new war is a major story quest

no when you nerd out that's the best part

Praise the moon of mene is such an incredibly similar song

has he done a sleeping in the cold below reaction ?

Narmer did something great, for sure, but also something terrible. You hear the praise and admiration in the choir, but also an underlying dread (esp. that piece of disharmony (not sure that's the correct word for it) in the second "For Narmer" that you geeked out over). Put simply, Ballas is the leader of a growing power / empire called Narmer, and forged mind controlling veils which he subjugated large parts of the solar system with. Those veils take away free will, creating a false sense of satisfaction and belonging in the individuals, so my interpretation is that that's where the praise and admiration are coming from, but they are hollow and discordant in character, which is so neatly expressed by the music (or more specifically by the harmony).

Now he got to react to The Cold Bellow from warframe. It’s a space sea shanti.

Idk why the beginning reminds me of the melody intro of Eminem’s “Till i Collapse”

Am i the only one to think that the first few piano notes are similar to the beginning of the song Lose Yourself from Eminem ?

Man, you need to react to Sleeping in the Cold Below if you haven't already. It's also a Warframe song-- a space/sea shanty, if you will.

This game has phenomenal music direction. They really know how to evoke emotion in the moment and given the context. FFXIV has great music, but a lot of it doesn't really FIT the context at times. Warframe is a perfect unity of all the elements.

Please do 4:00am by Taeko onuki

Their singing for Narmer, Ballas’ kingdom/empire

Mashle op2

how come nobody recommeded take away its pain?
