+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.
***** +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...
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.
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.
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
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
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 :/
@@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.

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
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.
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
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.

+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?"
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
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.
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.
Just finished this game for the first time ever, I’m mad that I’m so late to the party but damn my head is filled exclusively with thoughts of this game
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.
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,
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.
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
Now won't you listen, dearly, while I say, How can you tell me that you're goin' away? Don't say that we must part, Don't break my akaen heart You know I've loved you trully 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 cryin' After you've gone there's no denyin' 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 Someday, 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.
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
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......
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...
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
Finishing the game, then getting brought back to the start screen, staring at it trying to take everything in, with this playing in the background. Phenomenal.
100 years ago. We can’t even comprehend that difference in time. This was music then and now there are so many options that we will never get to hear all of it. But 1918 this is what people were vibing with. Makes you think how people 100 years from now will be viewing our taste in music. Shit what kind of music will they have? Nothing that we would even be able to understand. Fascinating stuff.
Tehzombie1337 actually no bro... that is the sad part that there are now no elizebeths left. at the end of bioshock infinite, we drown booker at the baptism because it is the birthplace of comstock, and if there is a comstock then there will always be an elizebeth since he will do that shitty stuff with booker and get anna. we see that when booker drowns, all comstocks are dead because all other elizebeths from different universes fade away since they don't exist no more. then there is only one elizebeth left in the entire world, the one we play with at burial at sea.. and she is gone at the end as well.... ok i'm gonna sit and cry now........... but now at the end of the whole saga, basically only bookers that didn't take the baptism exist and baby annas, because comstock never comes to take them. :D since he doesn't exist no more... so i guess thats ... happy..
TheKuusysi i wanted an end cutscene of booker and elizabeth chilling in paris instead we got the airplane sinking into the sea D: people say they did end up happy since the multiple universes thing but i still would've like to see it myself!
You know you've made it when your music is still being listened to nearly 100 years into the future.
it's 103 years now lol

+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
Just finished this game for the first time ever, I’m mad that I’m so late to the party but damn my head is filled exclusively with thoughts of this game
A true masterpiece.
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.
'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.
Hundred years later and break-ups still feel the same...
One of the few games I have gone back to play again and again
Same
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
Iqbal Hanafiah but i like the dlc
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.
yeah welcome to the club
Better late than never ❤
This song explains the entire story after you finish the game, Booker being torn up by regret. So depressing, but great music.
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).
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 is the best version of this song.
It feels so freaking difirent when you beat the whole game, and then you hear this, damn
Now won't you listen, dearly, while I say,
How can you tell me that you're goin' away?
Don't say that we must part,
Don't break my akaen heart
You know I've loved you trully 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 cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
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
Someday, 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.
Thank you My Friend.
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
hearing this after the big twist in the game is just such a blessing
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......
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.
June 15, 2024... 106 years today❤
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?
Love this game! Booker, CATCH!
Oh that music. This from main menu. It creates that atmosphere that u dont want to leave.
fr
I've been looking for this song! Thanks for the upload.
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.
It's been 10 years and it still hurts me that Booker and Elizabeth couldn't get to Paris.
And I don't think there is a single reality where they do :(
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
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.
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
OMG I WAS LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR THIS ITS SO GOOD!!!
Jessy Carolina sings this version.
Columbia didn't seem that bad to begin with, dispite the racism, Vox, Comstock, The Syphon, Songbird, Handymen, Fink Industries.. Okay maybe it was..
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
+Genni The Friendly i do not know but after the vox took over the city the city turned into shit, comstock despite his bigoted view was in fact right.
+Genni The Friendly It was *gorgeous*, even if it was filled with racists and psychos and nasty machines.
this version of after you’ve gone is the one that slaps the most. no i won’t debate
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?
Best game I've ever played. Recomend to anyone. This game will always stay with me.
I cry whenever i listen to this
What a great game it will forever be in my heart 💔
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.
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 😂😂
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?
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
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
Listening to this song after having finished the game is something else man. Still get goosebumps listening to this awesome cover
This is how i feel after i finished Bioshock infinite. What a beautiful game...
Ah Bioshock Infinite. What a masterpiece.
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.
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.
Please don't hate this game I spent 70% of my time staring at every art and detail that is in columbia before progressing to the objective
Anyone here in 2021 and waiting for the next bioshock?
I'm here for the next Jessy Carolina cover, or the Maple Leaf Rag.
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!
I wish there was some way to erase my memory (without being injured) so I could experience this amazing game again.
This song is 102 years old... amazing how we’re still listening it.
I havent felt this way about a game and its characters since Witcher 3. The ending really got me right in the feels
103 years later and this song still hasn’t gone
This ain’t even the org song 💀💀💀
Finishing the game, then getting brought back to the start screen, staring at it trying to take everything in, with this playing in the background. Phenomenal.
I'm so glad I played the game and found this gem of a song
I still replay this game often and it brings back so many memories
Miss you Bioshock
Miss you Elizabeth
The Only Game Characters that I fell in love because of the Character and the AI competency
Funny, I was just looking for this, and then it shows up in my recommended!
This made me feel the sad memories of the past that didn't even happened.
It's 2021 now and I still listen and love this song. Bioshock infinite 🔥🔥
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.
100 years ago. We can’t even comprehend that difference in time. This was music then and now there are so many options that we will never get to hear all of it. But 1918 this is what people were vibing with. Makes you think how people 100 years from now will be viewing our taste in music. Shit what kind of music will they have? Nothing that we would even be able to understand. Fascinating stuff.
its 2017 and im still remembering this game, omg one of the best game ive ever played
It's been over a century... Damn. And seven years since Bioshock Infinite. These things I find hard to believe.
I just beat the game and have this song in my head.
Thanks so much for uploading!
This song gives me a peaceful and sad feeling i love and cant explain
Same
bioshock, the best serie of videogames ever
Mauricio Gallego Zelda virgin alert!!!
100 years old this year, and still listened too. Amazing.
Everytime I listening to this music, I feel sad. Probable because the ending of both infinite and burial at sea are too sad.
Burial at sea episode 2's ending.
Lies down.
Tries not to cry.
Cries like a little bitch.
Tehzombie1337 actually no bro... that is the sad part that there are now no elizebeths left. at the end of bioshock infinite, we drown booker at the baptism because it is the birthplace of comstock, and if there is a comstock then there will always be an elizebeth since he will do that shitty stuff with booker and get anna. we see that when booker drowns, all comstocks are dead because all other elizebeths from different universes fade away since they don't exist no more. then there is only one elizebeth left in the entire world, the one we play with at burial at sea.. and she is gone at the end as well.... ok i'm gonna sit and cry now...........
but now at the end of the whole saga, basically only bookers that didn't take the baptism exist and baby annas, because comstock never comes to take them. :D since he doesn't exist no more... so i guess thats ... happy..
Anyone who understood the tale of the people in this game would have been :D
TheKuusysi i wanted an end cutscene of booker and elizabeth chilling in paris
instead we got the airplane sinking into the sea D:
people say they did end up happy since the multiple universes thing but i still would've like to see it myself!
For me Bioshock Infite wasn't sad because after the credits we can see Booker theoretically sees his daughter...
I love videogames that introduces me to old music like these. Because of these games, I enjoy listening to Jazz and Blues.
