@@hdhrdfsrkgh maybe you should listen to a song called "Rolling down the street, in my katamari". I don't know if you read it, but Raysuu mentions it in his comment.
The realization sets only after you've said your goodbyes. Sounds and sights of distant tears and hugs past are now silently replaced with the sound of a single engine and a view of the long road ahead. You think for a moment about the life you held a short moment ago, but its now deep in your pocket. No need to check if its still there. You can still feel its weight on your body and you need to keep your eyes on the motorway. The sunset is beckoning; the purple-pink rays of tomorrow await wistfully for your arrival.
Somebody commented on a previous upload of this track “Congratulations. Your Quest is over.” I’ve associated that phrase and that feeling with this song ever since.
Fearofdark is one of those rare artists that puts emotion where there isn't, it's an enigma of color, like describing color to a blind man. Motorway the album is a masterpiece, it's just good.
Probably the best song of the whole set. For a song with no lyrics, there's a ton of emotion here. It's rare that there's an almost 8-minute song that you always listen to in it's entirety when it comes on, but this one one of the real few. There's just so much going on here -- it's calming, nostalgic, kind of mournful in a way. It's hard to describe other than a masterpeice, a real rarity in a genre that doesn't seem to emphasize that kind of feeling very often at all. Bits and pieces of it give me a Pokemon Gold/Silver vibe, I'm not sure why. It kind of reminds me of the National Park theme, I guess because Pokemon Gold/Silver is a very nostalgic chiptune-centric game for me, and that song kind of has just a tiny bit of this same vibe to it. I don't know, but I sure love it.
I personally have heard more music without lyrics that make me feel a certain way than songs with lyrics. I always feel the lyrics are distracting from the actual song... Eh I'm probably a dumbo
@@nojot0 I agree with the non-lyric songs being more powerful than lyriced ones, and I personally believe it's a result of the emotions or words of the composer not being directly spelt out to you, rather you're responsible for visualising, potentially interpreting and truly empathising with the composer's intentions on the work (plus not having the emotions directly spelt out creates ambiguity where you can interpret what kind of mood the music spells for you).
@@v1c-was-her3 You also have to factor in that words are generally distracting and it is harder to just relax and let a lyrical song sink in than it is with a non-lyrical track. Though, as with everything I find there are exceptions. For example, the songs in the OSTs of Supergiant Games are phenomenal in the way they preserve ambiguity and let the listener just come along for the ride (their instrumental tracks are also wonderful).
I first heard this a year after my sister died, it brought up a bunch of feelings for me and I can't listen to this without ugly-crying and imagining this as the "ending credits" screen of her life. It's a wonderful piece of music. Thank you for making it ♥️
The entire song gives me some serious chills. The beginning, especially, is like a massage for my brain. And it makes me feel sad for a time I can’t even remember...it’s all just really beautiful
I really like this tune. Is melancholic and peaceful. Listening this in my front garden with the spring sun hitting my face. The serenity of the apocalypse
A few years late to the party but oh my god this piece belongs in a museum, even if it isn't physical I am beyond impressed every time I listen to this with how one guy can make a instrumental with a simple array of sounds on a pretty barebones computer program and squeeze so much emotion out of it omfg It really sucks to think that a ton of music that's hollow and devoid of emotional value is ranking high in popularity when there's things like this out there

@Uzi Rana *dances with grass in hands* yeah bro this shit pretty grovy *dances with grass in hands* it do be pretty grovy though *dances with grass in hands*
When i die I want the end credits of my life to be me sitting on a hill looking out over a light-filled city while the names of everyone who ever mattered to me slides down the screen and this song plays over it
early in the morning here... This track *feels* very nostalgic. It is a good song for a motorway, although even if I could drive, I wouldnt plan on a relaxing drive at present. (the earth is turning 'round and you are here)
I suppose this means we'll eventually see Exit Plan. That's the one I'm waiting for. You know, I helped beta-test the first 32-voice tracker ever made, something that was eventually renamed Velvet Studio before disappearing into history. It was made specifically to support the then-revolutionary Gravis Ultrasound. As an exercise in excess, I made what I assume to be the first 32-voice MOD anyone ever bothered to make. This was back in 1993. It always makes me sort of laugh how Fearofdark tends to limit himself to 24 voices.
First time i heard this song was in 2015, while i was trying hard to get my finals done and getting selected to go medschool. Listening to it rn feels nostalgic, looking back how much work i did . It was all worthed
I've never heard a more beautiful chiptune in my life. If you ask me, this is THE BEST of your works. This blew me away the first time i heard this. Incredible job, my friend.
I wholeheartedly agree. Every fearofdark track I’ve ever listened to has absolutely nailed down a certain feeling or emotion and they’re almost always an absolute banger.
WHAT? This was almost EIGHT minutes long? You know, I am trying a bit to get into this chiptune-business, but seeing how one can make an eight minute song just with (seemingly, of course) letters and numbers, amazes me. In the beginning, I could follow, see where the melody is and I'm also thinking "With a lot of practice, I could do that myself". But after around minute 2, I lost all orientation. Apart from the missing info that could be in each "box" (or maybe it doesn't, I have no idea, but it would make things easier), those videos are good to learn, to see, how one could make such songs themselves, without blatantly copying, of course. You could watch these videos at least five times, paying attention to different elements each time in terms of rhythm, harmony and sound, and you would learn something every time.
It's not productive to compare your own skill to that of an expert. Just take it one step at a time and keep trying to improve. You will get there eventually...~

I'm listening to this song, and images of my best friends flash through my head. I think about all the times where I acted for personal gain rather than for their happiness, I think about all the times where I didn't support them, I think of all the times when I was not a very good person at all. I think of those times, and I remember that, despite all of that, they stuck with me. Instead of leaving me behind, they lifted me up. They changed me, made me learn that what I was doing was wrong, and made me into the person I am today. Without them, I would still be a nobody with no empathy and no compassion. They truly love me, and that is all I could ever ask for. I am more than thankful for them.
This sounds like a beautiful end credit theme for a real good classic game. It's the kind of music I adore so much and I'm really glad I found your stuff. Speaking of which, I'm SURPRISED you haven't made an actual game soundtrack for maybe a retro-themed indie game, but this stuff is just perfect the way it is. Keep at it.
This is one of your most beautiful themes. I think of Pokemon or Earthbound when I hear this but more so, I hear an unknown masterpiece here. Something that has yet to be made to accompany this. I've always felt like their was an even higher peak in music and video game production that we havent yet hit and you my friend have helped prove that. Amazing tune.
this song gives me this sense of closure in a sort of bittersweet way. its like moving away from a town that you have a lot of memories in but never truly belonged in, and slowly coming to the resolution that even though you wont be remembered or missed you still have the freedom to start somewhere new that might be more worthwhile. its like living a life having never made friends but not losing any hope that youll find something to be a part of eventually. the hope is there, even if its covered in a crushing pain of loss for something you never had to begin with. you became the faint memory of a few people and then disappeared, having never impacted anybody's life, but still having a chance to thrive at some point.
i was looking for this song over 2 MONTHS NOW and because of youtubes anoying recommendation, they didnt show me it. so i had to look trough a really long watch history INCLUDING OVER 1k SHORTS just to find this one song and relax to it. this song is truly great and i dont think ill ever lose it again because not only is the song relaxing, its also finding it relaxing. i barely get recommended this by youtube so id have to manually play it but @Fearofdark, thanks for making this music. it reminds me alot of me playing other old games and mostly makes me want to create stuff more because of how motivating and great this song is, thanks :D
I overlistened to this. But I'll never forget the loud volume fast speed highway sunset driving I did on US1 with this and the windows open one time in a spot I've never traveled since.
i don't know much about music, but this is one of the few pieces i'd call a masterpiece. it puts me at ease each time i hear it. thank you for making it!

this imo is the absolute best song you've put out thus far. just so much emotion and soul
i was looking for this song over 2 MONTHS NOW and because of youtubes anoying recommendation, they didnt show me it. so i had to look trough a really long watch history INCLUDING OVER 1k SHORTS just to find this one song and relax to it.
this song is truly great and i dont think ill ever lose it again because not only is the song relaxing, its also finding it relaxing. i barely get recommended this by youtube so id have to manually play it but @Fearofdark,
thanks for making this music.
it reminds me alot of me playing other old games and mostly makes me want to create stuff more because of how motivating and great this song is,
thanks :D
I overlistened to this. But I'll never forget the loud volume fast speed highway sunset driving I did on US1 with this and the windows open one time in a spot I've never traveled since.
you always amaze me with each track, i love it. this one feels like an ending song of a video game after going through a long journey or something.
god damn this comment is cringe
this song is straight-up beautiful. reminds me of better days
this comment is straight up cringe. Reminds me of hell.

Good job Hero, Your quest is over. *You can finally take a break after your long and exhausting journey.*
This song makes me think of a man with sunglasses riding a motorcycle alone down a desert road as the sun sets and the stars come out
i don't know much about music, but this is one of the few pieces i'd call a masterpiece. it puts me at ease each time i hear it. thank you for making it!
the water heater was leaking and it smelled like water and it smelled so good and smelled like a huge mess. IT's WAS IS SOOO CRINGEY
This is definitely the best song of the album.

An emotional track. Melancholic, serene, gives a feeling of farewells. Definitely could be the credits song for some true-ending path in a game.
10/10 for Track 10.
A cringey comment. Cringey, cringey, gives a feeling of cringe. Definitely could be the cringiest comment for some comment section on a video.
Cringe / cringe for comment cringe
@@user-qf2rx8ir3n no u
@@user-qf2rx8ir3n what is wrong with you
This song makes me reminisce of past summers even though this is my first time hearing it. I love the feeling of this piece and I am very thankful you are uploading again.
this song reminds me of a motorway
Well, I Cant sleep so this comes in the perfect moment..

This is my favorite song from the album. I hope to hear more song like this in the future.
yeh. cringe.
Dude I’ve seen you say cringe in almost every comment here and you doing that tbh is “cringe” it’s self. Do your self a favor and look for something that isn’t fucking attention.
glad this finally got uploaded in your channel :D
shut, cringe
Hi Stephen,
Could you add on Spotify your older tracks ?
I don't think i'm the only one to use this platform everyday and it could be great if we can listen to your tracks on the go !
There is already the "Exit Plan" album on it but i think "Coffee Zone" and "Motorway" could be some good additions.
Thanks a lot, have a nice day !
please Stephen.
stephen please!
Yes, please do this! Coming from a big fan
no Stephen won’t do that lmao because ur so cringe haha
@@user-qf2rx8ir3n can you explain ? I don't understand what you trying to say :)
This brings back the feeling of childhood to a man in midlife crisis. Thank you 😅
revisting after a year to say this song is still strangely nostalgic, love your work man!
revising after a year to say that your comment is cringe

Thank you for rekindling my love of chiptune.
An absolute masterpiece and quite possibly the greatest piece of music ever written.
an absolute CRINGE comment and quite possibly the most cringeworthy piece of text ever read
We've got the fun police over here, guys. Watch out, he'll be coming for your genuine and heartfelt messages of appreciation next.

CODE RED. I REPEAT. CODE RED. WE HAVE SOMEONE ENJOYING CONTENT, ACTION MUST BE TAKEN IMMEDIATELY.
Honestly though, your reply was pointless. They just love the song, give them a break!
I played this when my dad came out from hospital after COVID-19, I felt at peace, like all my problems were solved, and they were.
damn. nice.
Still cringe.
perhaps my favorite music of all chiptunes music
so much i use to play while on trip and this is gonna be nostalgic in 5 years
The beginning of this track seems to be a beautiful chip tune re-imagining of Sam Barber’s “adagio for strings”. Great track!
music nerd. cringe
This song got me through highschool. Thank you. So many good memories coming back to me when I listen to this song.
this comment made me cringe. no thanks you. so many cringe memories coming back to me when I read this comment.
10 months later, and I'm back here. I dropped out of college, after 5 years of it. I only had a semester left, but I couldn't take it anymore. This song is still helping me go through life. Thank you.
@@Endercreeps whoa. hope you're doing ok after like a year
Thank you for posting again.
Amazing work man
There's something about this that's so soothing and nostalgic... It's really nice!
something cringe about this that’s so rough and agonizing... it’s really sucks, brah!
You blessed being.
You've given us the best again and again, and now you've reached a perfect state of calm.
You cringey being.
You’ve given me the cringiest again and again, and now you’ve reached a perfect state of cringe.
I'm so happy you started posting music again. Absolutely love your stuff.
I’m so sad you started posting comments again.
Absolutely hate your stuff.

This is quite the song to listen to. You know your stuff when it comes to making music, and you somehow manage to express it in every song you make. There are literally no grains of dirt in your pile of diamonds!
This is quite the comment to cringe to. You know your cringe when it comes to making comments, and you somehow manage to express it(cringe) in every comment you make. uhhh

What an amazing masterpiece.
what a cringey comment.
oh wow I love the William Barber inspirations here on the beginning progression
this melody is like a beautiful farewell...
...this hits hard.
Perfect. When Listening To This, I Felt So Much Emotion, And This Was What Lifted My Spirits During 2020, It Also Gives Some Pkmn HeartGold and Platinum Vibes, Since Those Were My First Games.
Such an intricate use of a sound chip. It makes me both long for the freedom of an open freeway under an open starry sky, and feel like I'm already there, driving a top-down convertible with the wind in my hair and the stars in my eyes. It's something of a momentary satisfied peace, something no other song has gotten from me in a long time. And to think it came from a sound chip. Since you're the one who orchestrated it, you really are a master of your craft. Thank you.
you really are a master of your cringe
@@user-qf2rx8ir3n ok terezi leave my 2 year old comment alone and go back to licking your screen
