+shadowofsirawit8 Yes the game was set in 1912, but the actual song was made in 1918. Look up 'after you've gone song'. Ken Levine has already said the development team had great difficulty finding good music from that period, so he had to take songs from around 1912.
This song becomes more sad when you realize that the whole concept of the game is basically giving Booker a second chance of spending the last moments of his life with his daughter whom he sold , before having to sacrifice himself to save her and the world.
Snack Filter it was canon though Elizabeth still had one mission which was to eliminate all comstocks she then went to a universe in rapture which was the universe of bioshock 1 and 2 who killed a comstock who "accidentally" killed her in that universe overcome with grief comstock went back to being booker and went to the luteces for a place to forget his grief and so they take him to rapture until Elizabeth shows up and ends up with a drill in his spine you probably know the rest
+Nic Chavez you are telling me things I already know but the point is the ending of Burial at sea EP.2 was just stupid and made no sense and as a matter of fact none of it would have happened in the first place (you know the part with her + big daddy) due to her omniscience. The whole story of it just wasn't good I mean it wasn't horrible but it wasn't up to par with the series.
***** +Flarg Flargon - Nope Just rational I would say xD the rip-off of the ending is nearly touchable, they ruined the game for me in the last fucking 10 minutes
MrJason005 wwhat do yopu expect from it? booker is already dead... the third time killed at the end of Burial 1 so what could possibly happen in burial 2...
Now won't you listen dearie while I say, how can you tell me that you're goin' away? Don't say that we must part, don't break my aching heart You know I've loved you truly many years, I loved you night and day How can you leave me, can't you see my tears? Listen while I say After you've gone, and left me crying After you've gone, there's no denying You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad You'll miss the dearest pal that you've ever had There'll come a time, now don't forget it There'll come a time, when you'll regret it Some day, when you grow lonely You heart will break like mine and you'll want me only After you've gone, after you've gone away Oh After the years, we've been together The joy and tears and all kinds of weather Someday, blue and downhearted You'll long to be with me right back where you started After I'm gone, after I'm gone away
Today is January 8th, 2018. So...it has been 100 years since this song came out. It's almost like having a time machine that gets you back to when it came out. Makes me very emotional. I hope everyone can experience that strange sense of nostalgia for a time you were never in.
@@ghplayzboi9295 No what he meant to say is that Bioshock 4 is confirmed. A new 2k games studio (cloud chamber I think) has been formed for it. It's in development since 2019, and a trailer or announcement should arrive soon.
Did anyone here catch the joke that was made in infinite? It was the two soldiers who were talking before you first enter another version of Columbia. The guy had said that it was 1912 and wondered why the girl wasn't into him and she said that it would be 2012 before she'd like him. I literally rolled my eyes and laughed.
+S Frances L What are you talking about, videos games been out since the 70's. From sprites to pollygons video games definitely can be defined by generations
"Booker Dewitt, bring us the girl and wipe away the debt. This is your last chance." "Elizabeth Dewitt, bring us the boy and wipe away the debt. This is you last chance."
I’ve only just beat Bioshock Infinite this past week and I cannot get this song out of my head. The beautiful sun shining down a nondescript alleyway in Columbia, kids playing with a broken water pipe, this song softly playing in a shop on an old radio. It’s literally just the menu screen but it is so well made
Totally! When i first heard this song in the file select i felt weird since it's not a video game song. I stopped playing the game halftrough but i don't know if i should start all over to remined me of everything that had happened or just continue without really knowing the situation and story :/
Supreme Buffalo yeah me too. And I love that, they were able to create something that made me be patient for just a sec, only to dive into the unbelievable gameplay and story that Infinite is
No game has ever effected me mentally the way this one did. I felt just depressed and bittersweet over the melancholy ending to it all. But no matter what im glad it made me feel that way. if that isnt a sign of a great game, I dont know what is.
@@rippeddrummer111 I loved how in Bioshock 1 even the lowest level splicers remained deadly to the player if you weren't careful, and it was really disturbing to listen to their mentally unhinged mutterings as they wandered around what was left of Rapture. I could mooch around that sunken city forever, and spent most of the game dawdling just enjoying the post-apocalyptic ambience of the damp corridors and wonky renditions of vintage music, with a machine-gun security bot buzzing about for company.
Now won't you listen, dearie While I say How can you tell me That you're going away Don't say that we must part Don't break my achin' heart You know I've loved you truly many years I've loved you night and day How can you leave me Can't you see my tears? Listen, while I say After you've gone And left me crying After you've gone There's no denyin' You'll feel blue You'll feel sad You'll miss the dearest pal That you ever had And there'll come a time Now don't forget it There'll come a time When you regret it Some day, when you grow lonely Your heart will break like mine And you'll want me only After you've gone, After you've gone away. Oh after the years We've been together The joy, the tears, and all types of weather Some day, blue and downhearted You'll long to be with me Right back where you started After I've gone After I've gone away...
Jeez, reading out the lyrics, I didn't realize this song was about lost love, or it feels that way. Two people's passing lives, being with each other in passing, never settling forever, wishing their love could last. This is awful sad, I adore it with my whole heart
Just finished playing the game for myself for the first time. (very late to it I know). And even though I knew the plot and what was going to happen, I never expected to feel the way I do now. While I was playing, this time I made sure to search every nick, nook and cranny & take my time to really get as much out of it as I could. There were those magical moments like the back and forth between Booker & Elizabeth, making my way though shanty town, hearing tainted love as blues music, playing the guitar, hearing shake sugaree & tons more. But now that I’ve finished it, I’ve realised that the most special part of the game was growing close to Elizabeth. Now that it’s over I really miss her, like there’s a hole in my heart and I’m mourning somebody. Bioshock Infinite is, was & will always be a very special game for a number of reasons. And one of them is that this piece of music makes more sense to me now than I ever thought music could. I think I will always feel a sense of deep sadness yet fulfilling happiness when hearing this song from now on.
@@WouterPlanet you can tell by the quality of the audio that it was an Edison phonograph and if that isn’t enough to convince you, get this: the audio director used the phonograph to record these tracks to make the music seem authentic.
Carlos Sousa Simply no. It's barely an ok game, let alone "most important of a generation". The original 2 undersea Bioshock games were better in every way for a start
Man this game and its predecessors really just struck a chord with me. The story is just so good - it hits me emotionally. I love going back to this game and playing a chapter or two......
story-wise and universe-wise, maybe, but from the gameplay's perspective, it was pretty classic, nothing new, and very redundant. But it surely leaves an impact on me when I finished it. It's only afterwards that I realised that it was a pretty flawed game, nothing amazing about it, gameplay-wise. And since a game is more about the gameplay than the story, at least for me, I can assure it's not one of the greatest, far from that.
I agree; the story is what seems to stick with me and what I remember more than the gameplay, especially years later. Gameplay can be engrossing in the moment, but it seems to be forgotten over time -- just like what the psychologists have found about the difference between "Flow" versus "Peak experiences." I will never forget living through the end scene of Bioshock or Bioshock Infinite the first time.
Oh my freaking God... I thought they just made this song for the game I didn't know its more than a century old🙄🙄🙄 I didn't finish this game, rather this game finished me man...
That ending sticks with you. The whole game sticks with you. Everything felt so alive and realized. The only other game that hit me like this was Chrono Trigger.
Renan Sales Moreira It means Booker has repeated the cycle hundreds of times, but he fails to change his fate. "He DOESN'T row" shows that the events play out the same every time, an implicit reference to the storyline of the game where Booker is doomed to travel the same path - just like he ALWAYS picks ball number 77 at the raffle no matter what happens, even though that should be pure chance. It's also breaking the fourth wall slightly, because every time you play the game he never rows, it could be an in-joke in that respect.
Honestly I feel like this song perfectly sums up BioShock Infinite plus the Burial at Sea DLC. It's the perfect mix of melancholy, emptiness, and existential angst.
+David Warburton I was disappointed there was no nod to the first, and in my opinion superior, Bioshock where they say "Would you kindly bring us the girl and wipe away the debt?"
Bioshock infinite's amazing-ness is beyond human understanding and the game should be cherished by all gamers as a game with perfect storytelling, themes, setting and characters. It is more than a masterpiece. Definitely the best game and the best thing meant for entertainment ever.
No other game has left such an impact on me, the music never fails to bring back the atmosphere and emotions. It's been years since i last played and i still find myself daydreaming about it time to time
Same but I have finished the game only once. Don`t know why but the further you play after Elizabeth has killed Fitzroy the worse and worse the story gets for Booker and Elizabeth. I mean the end feels bad. Well done game but it just makes me feel sad.
When I listen to this and the rest of the soundtrack, I am in awe and wish I lived in simpler times and such. Then I realized I would be hanging on a tree or getting my ass beat half the time. No thanks, I'll experience the taste of the 1900s from here on my smartphone.
This song gets in your head and doesn't come out. I've found myself sitting at the menu just listening to it. It sets the tone for the game like a great TV show intro such as the one in front of Carnivale
she killed him at the end, after all he did to save her, bcz he is comstack, and he is songbird, and he is every fuckin one, best game he said, oh please,
if you didn't play bioshock there is no possible way you could have come across this sort of music unless you have a 2nd generation grandma who plays her masterpieces all day. I'm not even american and i can honestly say this is better than any catchy pop song with no point or merit.
This was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had, and indeed it is a video game. This was an expression of art and ideas that transcends just the genre of video gaming itself. This is something that the American people accomplished, and it's unbelievable. I'll never forget it, even after it's gone. Weirdly enough, this song "After I'm gone" translates to the Bioshock series itself. It's gone, fading into history, and hopefully the right minds were able to witness this stuff. Video games are touchy things guys, this stuff is real
This song didn't make sense to me at first since it's a love song. After I finished the game, that's when it hit me like a truck. Jesus Christ it became even more heartbreaking for me than it should.
After I beat the game all I did was sit there and just think about what happened. When the credits went through and it went to the main menu this sing played and all I could do was sit there. I was feeling all types of emotions and it was overwhelming. This was a great game that left me in shambles, and I'm glad to have played it. Such a beautiful and haunting song...
Jesus christ what the fuck is wrong with gamers these days. It's a great great game, just enjoy the ride. It's very artistic and poetic as it is, which is very hard to achieve in a videogame. It's fun, no need to criticize it to death
I doubt I will ever recover from playing this game. I've been polaxed. It's a masterpiece, and I still care to this day about Elizabeth, darn it. I doubt I'll ever find a story this good again in the world of video games. The same way that LotR slayed me for reading books for a while...I think I'm done playing games for a while. I just can't deal with it. Still have too many feels left.
I just keep playing it since it's a masterpiece, i do not know if i am going to find another game worthy of being called "my favorite game", this one has a big special place in my heart. Finishing the main game was mindblowing and after that, playing Burial at Sea, destroyed me, never cried so much with a videogame, thank you, Bioshock.
246 Hours of gameplay. 100% Achievements. all DLC completed. Was my 2013 Game of the Year, Game of the Century, now I get to do it all over again, remastered and even more beautiful.
I debate it as my favorite game with red dead redemption and last of us but I just decided to buy all of them! BTW good job . I tried doing the same with the whole bioshock series ...alot of work
nope, they will make all 3 plus all dlc included..counting down the days till i get to relive it on the PS4. My wife won't see me from 9pm to 11:30pm, shell be in the next room wondering why I'm listening to 1900's music lol.
Genni The Friendly One thing I just can`t understand: Why there shouldn`t be any racism or such bad things in games? Remember they`re just games! If somebody takes it seriously then he should be prevented from even playing the game! If thought like this then there shouldn`t be for example GTAs because murdering people is wrong. (Even in video games). This is what I can`t understand.
TheKuusysi I suppose some people just cant handle themes like racism and so forth and they believe they don't belong in video games. But in games like bioshock, its a key theme and without it alot of the story line wouldn't exist. People have to look past those kind of things and realise they are playing a game :p
Genni The Friendly People who don't want to handle dark themes and just want pure quality gameplay have plenty of options, like Nintendo. Gaming is like any other form of media though, in that it has every right to have adult themes like institutional racism or commentary on both revolutionary socialism and unrestrained libertarianism like the first game if there is a market for it and people want to experience those themes in their gameplay. Hell, CoD's single player campaign explore a lot of the philosophy or war and power if people would put down their blind hate and experience it. I like to take video game stories seriously, as casual as I am about the actual gameplay aspect.
Khrisna Lunandi video games are a art if done so, BioShock did extreamly well to do what most can't I'm a story, if I buy certain games they either gotta be really good playing it or extreamly fun story, like the walking dead games are pure story
Lost my grandfather 2 years 3 days ago, miss you J R, I'll never forget those Christmas days, or thanksgivings, fuck I miss you grandpa, the sands of time will fill the space you once occupied, I hope to see you again
Corey Messick How could anyone POSSIBLY be expected to guess why that’s your favorite game? This guy just stated that this is his favorite game. He is allowed to do that
Since Bioshock 2 used 'Daddy Won't You Please Come Home' as a recurring song to fit the game's theme, this song might as well have been Bioshock Infinite's 'theme' song.
@@BogusmanTheSwagman This version is not as it is made for the game. The sheet music, melody, and lyrics are in the public domain as they were published before 1925
Back when I was going through some shit a good friend sent me this song, it was cool because I had already been listening to it. I always felt like he and I were on the same wavelength. That was two years ago. Rest in peace friend.

But then it's even worse that liz has to go on to sacrifice herself too.
Yeah but Burial at Sea's story was utter trash and I try not to even consider it canon
Snack Filter it was canon though Elizabeth still had one mission which was to eliminate all comstocks she then went to a universe in rapture which was the universe of bioshock 1 and 2 who killed a comstock who "accidentally" killed her in that universe overcome with grief comstock went back to being booker and went to the luteces for a place to forget his grief and so they take him to rapture until Elizabeth shows up and ends up with a drill in his spine you probably know the rest
+Nic Chavez you are telling me things I already know but the point is the ending of Burial at sea EP.2 was just stupid and made no sense and as a matter of fact none of it would have happened in the first place (you know the part with her + big daddy) due to her omniscience.

Goddamn the ambiance of this song playing in the street, in the menu of the game.
I always just sit and watch the screen for a few minutes before starting the game just to enjoy it.

I thought I was the only one who did that. But it is so fitting and somehow it ties me into the game. I love it!

You'll miss the dearest pal that you've ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time, when you'll regret it

Man this game and its predecessors really just struck a chord with me. The story is just so good - it hits me emotionally. I love going back to this game and playing a chapter or two......
I still replay this game often and it brings back so many memories
Its very relaxing, i would just sit there,put the controller down and let the music take me
+Chadraa Enkh-Amgalan what i do is put this on and spin my butterfly knife with my eyes closed. very relaxing

one of the greatest games of all time .
story-wise and universe-wise, maybe, but from the gameplay's perspective, it was pretty classic, nothing new, and very redundant. But it surely leaves an impact on me when I finished it. It's only afterwards that I realised that it was a pretty flawed game, nothing amazing about it, gameplay-wise. And since a game is more about the gameplay than the story, at least for me, I can assure it's not one of the greatest, far from that.
+Louis Ackland Well, I found the gameplay fun, and that was mostly thanks to the skyhook and skyrail system. Original? Maybe not. But fun? Yes
I agree; the story is what seems to stick with me and what I remember more than the gameplay, especially years later. Gameplay can be engrossing in the moment, but it seems to be forgotten over time -- just like what the psychologists have found about the difference between "Flow" versus "Peak experiences." I will never forget living through the end scene of Bioshock or Bioshock Infinite the first time.
bullshit. if the gameplay is terrible then it doesn't matter how good the story is, you wont play it. its a mixture of both.
I prefer the other two Bioshock games
Hundred years later and break-ups still feel the same...
Oh my freaking God... I thought they just made this song for the game I didn't know its more than a century old🙄🙄🙄
I didn't finish this game, rather this game finished me man...
That ending sticks with you. The whole game sticks with you. Everything felt so alive and realized. The only other game that hit me like this was Chrono Trigger.
"No, he DOESN'T row."
"Oh, I see what you mean."
I never understood that frase
Renan Sales Moreira It means Booker has repeated the cycle hundreds of times, but he fails to change his fate. "He DOESN'T row" shows that the events play out the same every time, an implicit reference to the storyline of the game where Booker is doomed to travel the same path - just like he ALWAYS picks ball number 77 at the raffle no matter what happens, even though that should be pure chance. It's also breaking the fourth wall slightly, because every time you play the game he never rows, it could be an in-joke in that respect.
I think he was just disguising the word "Know" with Row
@@diiibas constants and variables.
Honestly I feel like this song perfectly sums up BioShock Infinite plus the Burial at Sea DLC. It's the perfect mix of melancholy, emptiness, and existential angst.
+DisketteDetective existential angst. well done
+DisketteDetective I'd picture it with a much more sad song, tbh ... Especialy if you include Burial at Sea which have a really "painful" story ^^" !
I'll agree to that!
I miss Elizabeth
Like all of us, my friend, like all of us...
105 years later... Holy Shit.
More like 10 years or so. It's a cover made to sound old.
@@SolidSnake85 Makes sense
Theres a Song older than this called “The laughing song” by George w. Johnson, recorded in the 1890s 💀
"Bring us the girl, and wipe away the debt."
The nostalgia!!!!
+David Warburton That profile pic tho
THIS IS YOUR LAST FUCKING CHANCE, PIECE OF SHIT.
+David Warburton I was disappointed there was no nod to the first, and in my opinion superior, Bioshock where they say "Would you kindly bring us the girl and wipe away the debt?"
+alessio silvestri This caught me off guard haha. Thank you. xD
This makes me want to live in Colombia but then I remember I'm Hispanic

+Damuse8191 Ouch.
+Joah Dyer No worries, there's always Rupture.
+Joah Dyer Well, Colombia is in South America, so I don't see the problem.
Oh that music. This from main menu. It creates that atmosphere that u dont want to leave.

Bioshock infinite's amazing-ness is beyond human understanding and the game should be cherished by all gamers as a game with perfect storytelling, themes, setting and characters. It is more than a masterpiece. Definitely the best game and the best thing meant for entertainment ever.
it is very good, but you sound like you've had too many redbulls man, lol
First game to sell a infinillion copies
I mean, it's great and I love it myself, but it sure has its own flaws.
It’s storytelling is far from perfect.
@@daddylonglegs3698 what would you say would improve the story?
No other game has left such an impact on me, the music never fails to bring back the atmosphere and emotions. It's been years since i last played and i still find myself daydreaming about it time to time
One of the few games I have gone back to play again and again
Same
Same but I have finished the game only once. Don`t know why but the further you play after Elizabeth has killed Fitzroy the worse and worse the story gets for Booker and Elizabeth. I mean the end feels bad. Well done game but it just makes me feel sad.
if you think that's sad then you should play burial at sea(especially part 2)
yeah a feel good game this is not- kicks ass tho
damn man i hate that dlc
To everyone staying up late listening to this. I feel the pain and regret you are feeling.
Just got broken up with,3 weeks...3 goddamn weeks of pouring my heart out to someone who barely felt the same
Idk why the song felt extremely nostalgic ever since I first played the game, even though I never heard it before
When I listen to this and the rest of the soundtrack, I am in awe and wish I lived in simpler times and such. Then I realized I would be hanging on a tree or getting my ass beat half the time. No thanks, I'll experience the taste of the 1900s from here on my smartphone.
Yeah or dying of dysentery in a trench
i couldn't resist laughing right now XD
Every damn time I play game that is set in the past I have the same thought in my head 😂 couldn't have said it better myself
nah there were triumphs and good times there, even in the worst of it.
Albert Fink presents After You Have Left
Magical Melodies Copyright 1912
***** His brother, Albert, "composed" the majority of the songs you stumble across in Columbia (he stole them from other worlds).
103 years later and this song still hasn’t gone
This ain’t even the org song 💀💀💀
Every Time im am drinking a listen this song ❤️😥
This is the best version of this song.
This song gets in your head and doesn't come out. I've found myself sitting at the menu just listening to it. It sets the tone for the game like a great TV show intro such as the one in front of Carnivale
I literally spent thirty minutes at the main menu...
This singer girl can't even imagine that her song will be added to a main menu screen for a videogame 101 years later
The song is ancient but this particular cover was recorded for the game, just layered with old-timey effects.
this version of after you’ve gone is the one that slaps the most. no i won’t debate
'Booker, are you afraid of God?'
'No, but I'm afraid of you.'
Best game ever.
+Htetmyet Ne Ye
OMG
IKR
she killed him at the end, after all he did to save her, bcz he is comstack, and he is songbird, and he is every fuckin one, best game he said, oh please,
u didnt understand shit if you think the ending is bs
Htetmyet Ne Ye i just got goose bumbs reading tgat shit the BioShock series does somthing to me i swear
Epic line.
This song explains the entire story after you finish the game, Booker being torn up by regret. So depressing, but great music.
I cry whenever i listen to this
What a great game it will forever be in my heart 💔
Funny, I was just looking for this, and then it shows up in my recommended!
if you didn't play bioshock there is no possible way you could have come across this sort of music unless you have a 2nd generation grandma who plays her masterpieces all day. I'm not even american and i can honestly say this is better than any catchy pop song with no point or merit.
Lol I know right. How did the developers even find it?
probably came across a lot of old people...ahahahahhahaahah
Well you can play Fallout 3 instead haha
i guess you could?
you mad bro?
This was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had, and indeed it is a video game. This was an expression of art and ideas that transcends just the genre of video gaming itself. This is something that the American people accomplished, and it's unbelievable. I'll never forget it, even after it's gone. Weirdly enough, this song "After I'm gone" translates to the Bioshock series itself. It's gone, fading into history, and hopefully the right minds were able to witness this stuff. Video games are touchy things guys, this stuff is real
What a beautiful comment
This song didn't make sense to me at first since it's a love song. After I finished the game, that's when it hit me like a truck. Jesus Christ it became even more heartbreaking for me than it should.
me neither at first and then I yelled at the game after playing the dlcs as well: dont break my aching heart!
TerrifiedTam Jesus Christ doesn’t care, you’re not even saying Yeshwa
U damn right
Lyrics of this song are amazing, still good after more than 100 years !!
Man after all the time I spent on this game I get reminded of it when I'm playing this song in my jazz band this year :P
+Th3adventurer Are you the real Monobear?? D:
+Th3adventurer Are you the real Monobear?? D:
+Th3adventurer yoooo upload a video of your jazz band playing it! I wanna hear it!!!!!!
+FallinForInfinity101 unfortunately we already preformed this song and started practicing new ones ;_; I can link you to the arrangement we did tho
+Th3adventurer i think im gonna upload a version of me singing it and playing the guitar , ala django reinhardt style for rythym . haha its so chill
After I beat the game all I did was sit there and just think about what happened. When the credits went through and it went to the main menu this sing played and all I could do was sit there. I was feeling all types of emotions and it was overwhelming. This was a great game that left me in shambles, and I'm glad to have played it. Such a beautiful and haunting song...
Absolutely agree. I grew fond of this song at unconceivable levels.
hearing this after the big twist in the game is just such a blessing
Jesus christ what the fuck is wrong with gamers these days. It's a great great game, just enjoy the ride. It's very artistic and poetic as it is, which is very hard to achieve in a videogame. It's fun, no need to criticize it to death
BUT BUT...
THE FLOWERS ARE 2D!!!
CLEARLY THE WORST GAME EVER!!
The Silent Player YEAH, YOU CALL THAT PROPER MESHES AND SHADERS? TRY AGAIN, KEN LEVINE!
Thanks for making my night pal, I laughed so hard
I agree
Never played any of them except Bioshock Infinite
M1Garandstudios They're all great. I played all of the Shock games starting from System Shock 1.
Love this game! Booker, CATCH!
This song is so good
Ah Bioshock Infinite. What a masterpiece.
I doubt I will ever recover from playing this game. I've been polaxed. It's a masterpiece, and I still care to this day about Elizabeth, darn it. I doubt I'll ever find a story this good again in the world of video games.
The same way that LotR slayed me for reading books for a while...I think I'm done playing games for a while. I just can't deal with it. Still have too many feels left.
I just keep playing it since it's a masterpiece, i do not know if i am going to find another game worthy of being called "my favorite game", this one has a big special place in my heart. Finishing the main game was mindblowing and after that, playing Burial at Sea, destroyed me, never cried so much with a videogame, thank you, Bioshock.
chokureload u should play last of us or uncharted or the saints row...Or evil within. You’ll enjoy those games. Very beautiful or maybe Alan wake
Life is Strange might be something you should look at
@@Serenity187Jc *furiously takes notes, nodding in approval*
@@FatAlbert1020 you’ve played em before ??Those games are great 😂😂
OMG I WAS LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR THIS ITS SO GOOD!!!
Jessy Carolina sings this version.
It's 2021 now and I still listen and love this song. Bioshock infinite 🔥🔥
Right when i log into the game i just keep listening to this song
246 Hours of gameplay. 100% Achievements. all DLC completed. Was my 2013 Game of the Year, Game of the Century, now I get to do it all over again, remastered and even more beautiful.
I debate it as my favorite game with red dead redemption and last of us but I just decided to buy all of them! BTW good job . I tried doing the same with the whole bioshock series ...alot of work
I thaught there will only be a remastered of bioshock 1 and 2?
nope, they will make all 3 plus all dlc included..counting down the days till i get to relive it on the PS4. My wife won't see me from 9pm to 11:30pm, shell be in the next room wondering why I'm listening to 1900's music lol.
+mrfranky17 even with all the scary Big Daddy's and Little Sisters, I really wish this place existed. :D
+mrfranky17 are they remastering all for xbox or just playstation?
I love just listening to this and pretending to be living in Columbia... I'm a weirdo, i know.
You're not weird. That's what video games are created for. (Most of them at least) To take you to another world. Similar to books.
+Cookiesundco What Columbia deal with Bioshock Infinite? .. USA girl?
sztaszek88 Uhm... The city from Bioshock Infinite is called Columbia? No offense but have you even played that game?
Nah that's cool. :)
Cookiesundco I don't thing English is the guy's first language. Don't be too harsh on him. Haha.
The first time I listened to this all the way through was after the game ended and the song gained a new meaning for me in that moment
Bruh I used to listen to this all the time but I forgot about it and nearly 2 to 5 years later I’m back
This song was so fitting for the game, but I really don't know why.
Song from 1918 : Still better than some crap today.
I can't agree with you more :D
Damn right
LE WRONG GENERATION
LE WRONG GENERATION
Because the song is actually talking about Booker losing his daughter.
Columbia didn't seem that bad to begin with, dispite the racism, Vox, Comstock, The Syphon, Songbird, Handymen, Fink Industries.. Okay maybe it was..
Genni The Friendly One thing I just can`t understand: Why there shouldn`t be any racism or such bad things in games? Remember they`re just games! If somebody takes it seriously then he should be prevented from even playing the game! If thought like this then there shouldn`t be for example GTAs because murdering people is wrong. (Even in video games). This is what I can`t understand.
TheKuusysi I suppose some people just cant handle themes like racism and so forth and they believe they don't belong in video games. But in games like bioshock, its a key theme and without it alot of the story line wouldn't exist.
People have to look past those kind of things and realise they are playing a game :p
Genni The Friendly Agreed.
Genni The Friendly People who don't want to handle dark themes and just want pure quality gameplay have plenty of options, like Nintendo. Gaming is like any other form of media though, in that it has every right to have adult themes like institutional racism or commentary on both revolutionary socialism and unrestrained libertarianism like the first game if there is a market for it and people want to experience those themes in their gameplay. Hell, CoD's single player campaign explore a lot of the philosophy or war and power if people would put down their blind hate and experience it. I like to take video game stories seriously, as casual as I am about the actual gameplay aspect.
Khrisna Lunandi video games are a art if done so, BioShock did extreamly well to do what most can't I'm a story, if I buy certain games they either gotta be really good playing it or extreamly fun story, like the walking dead games are pure story
Lost my grandfather 2 years 3 days ago, miss you J R, I'll never forget those Christmas days, or thanksgivings, fuck I miss you grandpa, the sands of time will fill the space you once occupied, I hope to see you again
It's sound so good couldn't not look it up.
this game and song brought tears to my eyes and that's not easy after the things I've seen. I wish the story would never end
Miss you Bioshock
Miss you Elizabeth

Her voice is absolutely beautiful. It sounds like a beautiful angel singing
Go see Jessy Carolina and the Hot Mess if you can - an amazing band, I am friends with them.
bioshock infinite........favorite game of all time
Michael Smith Why is Ocarina of Time mine?
Corey Messick How could anyone POSSIBLY be expected to guess why that’s your favorite game? This guy just stated that this is his favorite game. He is allowed to do that
@@corey-bird3489 Nice opinion. Just one small problem. It seems that you fail to realize that nobody asked!
It's been over a century... Damn. And seven years since Bioshock Infinite. These things I find hard to believe.
Since Bioshock 2 used 'Daddy Won't You Please Come Home' as a recurring song to fit the game's theme, this song might as well have been Bioshock Infinite's 'theme' song.
I wish there was some way to erase my memory (without being injured) so I could experience this amazing game again.
I've been looking for this song! Thanks for the upload.
Best menu music ♡
i really feel confortable listening ho this song. i don't feel other people energies.
Best game I've ever played. Recomend to anyone. This game will always stay with me.
This is how i feel after i finished Bioshock infinite. What a beautiful game...
I'm so glad I played the game and found this gem of a song
103 years later this still slaps
Is this in the public domain?
I will be angry if this song ain't in the public domain
This is a cover made for the game, so I don't know.
5 years of inquiry lmao
the original is, assuming this is a cover
@@BogusmanTheSwagman This version is not as it is made for the game. The sheet music, melody, and lyrics are in the public domain as they were published before 1925

Back when I was going through some shit a good friend sent me this song, it was cool because I had already been listening to it. I always felt like he and I were on the same wavelength. That was two years ago. Rest in peace friend.
