Which character does "This Broken Soul" refer to???

Spyrofriend · Feb 21, 2008 3:52 AM

I agree Razz that Cynder is torn.. however it could also refer to the fact that Spyro has lost his powers ie the ancient spirit within is silent. The Chronicler helped remind him of his powers and reawoke them. But , me being the romantic tyope, I prefer to think it about Cynder calling out help and support..

Razz · Feb 21, 2008 2:42 PM

Oh, yes, I agree that she's calling out to Spyro, too. I think the song is a lot about how confused she is. She's calling out to anyone who will help her, but especially to a purple dragon (two of which have had serious impacts on her life).

Spyrofriend · Feb 21, 2008 5:18 PM

we already kniow ionly one of those purple dragons will help her in any positive sense and only one of them has feelings for her. The dark Master wil either take her back, or kill her in front of Spyro, anything to break our young hero's heart. and I don't think the 'fights' are really going to fool him, they;'ve allready faked it twice..three times is going to the well too much..

Kiara · Feb 21, 2008 5:25 PM

I think it's about Cynder too, and if you want to hear the song, I FOUND this video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU6VwbOuU7I

Yeaaah somehow I don't think he was falling for it by that point, huh? Still the dark master no doubt believes he can manipulate her...

Its a lvoely song. I expect it refers to mainly spyro, but some bits work so well for Cynder.

Razz · Feb 24, 2008 2:42 AM

Scarab, hi! *waves* smile I will eventually read your full post about the song when I ever get the time. For whatever reason, I've suddenly fallen very behind in my 'net stuff. I'm thinking it has something to do with that website or some such. big_smile

Scarabbug · Feb 24, 2008 2:44 AM

Hi, rassek! big_smile

Hey, real life is important, no stress.

Car-looking-4-gun · Feb 25, 2008 6:59 AM

It may refer to Cynder because her story is sad.As the song.

Scarabbug · Feb 25, 2008 9:44 PM

Could be. smile

I still say it's Spyro wink

ratchet · Mar 01, 2008 8:56 AM

When Neal sent an email to the composers of TLOS music, they said it was about Spyro's relationship to ignitus. Not Cynder to Spyro.

Volteer32 · Mar 01, 2008 9:18 AM

Hmmm Spyro to Ignitus ?? Possible but I still don't think so - read the lyrics of the song - Spyro's found his home, he knows where he came from however Cynder hasn't - she doesn't know that Spyro and her share the same home, and hopefully this'll be covered off in #3

Razz · Mar 01, 2008 2:35 PM

There's no arguing with the composers, V32. I was honestly quite stunned and I'm going to have to listen to the song again, but I think I can see how it could be about Spyro and Ignitus, especially now that Spyro has lost his way.

I know a certain Ignitus fan who's going to be really pleased. big_smile

CynderRules · Mar 01, 2008 3:56 PM

I say Cynder.

"Look in his heart and find me"
I really think that means its Cynder, because it doesn't seem that Spyro would say something like that. And I guess it could be from Spyro to Ignitus, but guys usually don't show their friendship/gratitude to one another like that.

"I've lost my way
Your voice is silent
I need you here to remind me"
This can perhaps mean that Cynder needs Spyro there to remind her that she isn't pure evil and that she can be a better person.

"Let the water flow right through this broken soul"
You would think after being corrupted and forced to do horrible things against your will that you would be depressed or heart broken.

"Fought by your side
ashes still burning
I've proved my worth
so tell me why"
Meh, Cynder has helped Spyro fight against the DM. And in the third game, it's going to be co-op so......

"Tell me that you can forgive
bring me peace that I may live"
Cynder has done terrible things in the past, and then she runs away, she must feel bad about some of it and is probably seeking Spyro's forgiveness since he is really her only friend. I guess the Guardians could be considered friends, but they're more like parents.

Spyro · Mar 01, 2008 5:24 PM

It has been confirmed that it is Ignitus and Spyro. I conducted an interview with the TLoS composers and they said so.

SW: Where did you find the inspiration for the music and lyrics for â€œThis Broken Soulâ€, and at which point in the game's development did you think that you would add a vocal track for the end credits?
B&G: We talked about doing a song right at the beginning of working on Eternal Night. The producers liked the idea, and we were excited to do it. It was a nice way to incorporate some of the other strengths we have into the big orchestral stuff. The inspiration from the song came from Spyroâ€™s relationship to Ignitus...

Read the full interview here.

ratchet · Mar 01, 2008 10:22 PM

Ha! told you so! (muhahahahaha SpyroXCynder Fanboys/girls are going to be *bleep*ed)

Scarabbug · Mar 02, 2008 12:04 AM

When Neal sent an email to the composers of TLOS music, they said it was about Spyro's relationship to ignitus. Not Cynder to Spyro.

That is pretty cool. I can kind of see how it works in many places but it's not something I picked up on when I analysed the song myself... looking back, I can see the relevance, though it COULD still apply to many other characters.

Now that I think about it: the "Let the water flow" line just took on a new meaning... Ignitus placed Spyro's egg in the river at the start of ANB, right?

Volteer32 · Mar 02, 2008 12:23 AM

Yep that's right Scarab

But still Spyro has found his home, take Cynder's line to him from TEN ... she hasn't, even though he and Cynder share the same home she don't know it because she was taken away before she even hatched so she don't know that she belongs with Spyro and the others

Okay now HERE'S someone that thinks along the same lines as me smile

ratchet · Mar 02, 2008 6:55 AM

I dont know, you guys can have your opinions, but it IS about Spyro to ignitus

nichaela · Mar 02, 2008 7:03 PM

You're pretty much right there, Rassek. The writers hath spoken, after all. But you're also right that we can always imagine, and it IS uncannily suited to other characters and scenarios.

ratchet · Mar 03, 2008 7:03 AM

uhh, i'm Ratchet not razzek. But anyway, if you think that it refers to "other Charaters", thats fine, but i dont agree

Scarabbug · Mar 04, 2008 5:17 PM

Whoops, that's a slightly worrying typo, then. I guess I'm so used to seeing Rassek's name...

Finally, you've accepted the "live and let live" philosophy wink (I kid, Ratchet.)

Ayumi_the_Dark_Wolf · Mar 09, 2008 1:02 AM

from what i heard and know it might be referring to ignitus, i bleive it meant a bond between spyro and ignitus.

ratchet · Mar 09, 2008 5:01 AM

Yeah, we know that Spyro The Dragon13
Scarabbug: I already have accepted it
