That Day has The Door motif

The Door Motif

I am referring to this part (0:13-0:41), also known as the part 1 motif.

Now listen to this part (1:07-1:09) in That Day

That Day

The background flute sounds very similar to The Door motif part 1, it's only a small part that then trails off.

Now lets look at the notes. Disclaimer, I am not a musician in any way, but I feel like this is clear as day.

The first set of notes is The Door motif. The next two sets of notes are two different transcriptions of that part in That Day. While there is some error, these two transcriptions are also different from each other, I feel like this is natural when you are trying to reconstruct a song by ear. Despite the error, I feel like these are trying to communicate the same fundamental idea. They are still extremely similar. Even if they are different not because of error, the motif itself does not have to be 1:1.

Also think about the thematic similarity! Asgore is literally talking about the dark fountains in the scene where That Day plays! The Door is what plays when you see the chapters 1 and 4 dark fountains!
I feel like this is a very intentional reference and it should be added to the Leitmotif page already.

Well, the thing is it was on the wiki for a time, but was removed because it's just a "ascending and descending contour". I personally think it's there or at least intentionally close, but I can't edit the page. as a side thing during that other discussion it was brought up that that day is closer to Black knifes version so may e check that

Can you add an audio file?

The door in The door

The Door in Black knife

The Door in That Day (I cut out the rest to the best of my ability)

my bad screwed up on the third one, THIS is the door in that day

it definitely sounds like the door and i came here to post the same thing. as far as i can tell the intervals are exact (if you use black knife, if using the door i think one note is one semitone off) until the descent finishes and then they branch off. it also makes sense for it to be there as a leitmotif, given what asgore is talking about in that scene
