3 years ago, my dad, my brother, a friend and I decided to play this game because we thought it might be fun, and it was, we played it for over 300 hours together. Every night was great, beating bosses, discovering new biomes and having fun. After beating the final boss, we played less and less until one day we didn't play anymore. Months later my family distanced themselves, my father and my brother did not speak for more than a year, due to personal problems, and we no longer speak with my friend, he made his life his own, and he no longer plays. So I'm here listening to this music, somehow I can hear their laughter in the background, hoping that maybe we can play together one more time.
My heart goes out to you. I just started playing this game and fell in love with it instantly. I play with a few good friends and try to savor every minute spend playing with them. I smile when I remember their laughter the night before, knowing that we may not have the luxury of time or energy to play together in a few months or years. I got back into gaming a few years ago to get over a depression. Having these fleeting moments help me remember that it is still a good life, whatever happens and however my friends and loved ones want to live theirs. Wishing you peace and joy 💖
This is way more nostalgic for me also. With my two friends. We are still friends, but we are on our own ways. I'm listening to this while sitting on office chair, looking at distance city buildings. Kinda sad tbh.
Never expected to feel nostalgia for something so new. Doesn’t feel like it was 2,5 years ago. Feels like it’s been 8 years minimum. I think videogames stopped surprising me after Valheim. My last true feeling of childhood will be strongly associated with this game forever
I so appreciate that someone didn't just rip the song and paste it onto a static image, they actually loaded up the game and sat there to capture live footage of the place the music comes from. Respect for the artistic immersion, really nice move.
@@sicklysphere8666 maybe, but the clouds are the same every day in the video, which I don't believe to be the case in the game. I could be wrong though
@@stephenrego6065 I have my serfs playing it for me. Hows your shattered pride? Havr you compenasted enough playing this easy children's game to atone to your past sins?
This game seriously has the potential to become what Minecraft was for my generation. It's just the perfect combo of mecanics, exploration and nostalgic music even though it's the first time you hear it.
This is the best piece of ambient music composed for a game in all of 2021. I sincerely mean that. It's the perfect backing track for that point in the game. The meadows are about getting used to this world, its mechanics, its enemies, and its beauty. It's slow, it's comfortable, it's beautiful. Just like those first hours.
@@blitz4634they can reproduce if you give them food, but all they drop is leather scraps and sometimes meat so I dont think they are that useful, unless you just want a pet
I grew up in a rural boom-to-bust town, where there weren't a lot of nice places to go other than the woods, the creek, and the backyard. Our neighbors looked after each other so we were allowed to roam pretty freely at a young age. A lot of my memories were of looking for places to build a little base or hangout. I used abandoned house porches, unused turkey pens, and little cliffs on the sides of the hills. This music makes me think of those memories
I think my favorite part of Valheim is finding an abandoned structure, setting up a workbench, repairing the dilapidated walls and boards and replacing missing sections, and creating a little home away from home. They end up being very helpful and feel very cozy.
Being diagnosed with heavy depression and anxiety disorder AND adhd this game has gotten me completely immersed and completely addicted... Its been over a year since we plaued this and it just makes me want to cry at how at peace I was then, exploring the waters, finding a cozy place to live. Going through increasing crafting recipes...
Brother, I played this game on release. So that was like what 1-2 years ago now? Me and my friends got a private server and started going to work, the jokes, the laughs had all while farming wood or stone to make our elegant wooden base this music was playing in the background. I didn’t realize I was there. I was at the spot we gamers always talk about, losing myself in a video game. Completely submersed by the visual, mechanical and incredible music playing just behind it all. The “good old days” are here. They are now. We just need to find them and appreciate them.
This makes me miss the game a lot. I would lose endless hours in the game with the incredible music track. The meadows and sea fairing tracks are incredible. Time to play again!
The time my Gf and I had in this game is pure magic, we'll never forget the fond memories we collected over our time. Even a year later we still think about the time we had there.
Hearing these blissful winds and strings playing as I crest the hill, come into port, or stepping through the nexus portals always warms the soul knowing I've made it back home to the meadows.
"Valheim was the highlight of my year. for weeks and hundreds of hours I was in another world. Won't forget this experience" this comment is expressing my feeling the best
This track is really nostalgia-inducing... This theme, the "Home Base" theme and the "Sailing" theme are my favorite ones! So many memories of the first time I played the game and built my first house Game of the Year 2021 for me
Some 200 hours sunk into this game and I'm sure there'll be a couple hundred hours left to go! Soaking up these lovely moments with my closest friend and my brother before we inevitably come to beat the final boss and this game slowly turns into a nostalgic memory
This music warms my heart. I couldn't love it more, it's like if someone took the essence of peace and tranquility and distilled it into a song. Incredible :)
so peaceful and pleasant. No matter how tough the mission was or how many health pots i slammed, its always worth it to return on a longship to a nice base in the meadows.
I love how the intro is more - "melancholic" - but then it becomes almost - whimsical. Indicating the peacefulness of the meadows while subtly foreshadowing what is to come. A warm welcome to the subtle idiosyncrasies of what is Valheim. That is to say. what isn't Valheim?
Valheim reminds me of all the games I played as a kid/teenager: Meadows - Legend of Zelda Wind Waker Black Forest - The Witcher 2 Swamps - Dark Souls Mountain - Skyrim Plains - ??? (Haven’t reached that far yet)
I feel that crescendo of swelling emotion at 5:40 every time I hear this. I learn for that very moment. It sticks in my memory and is a calm place for me.
This game just opened my long forgotten feelings of exploring new things, tthe same feeling I had many years ago while playing minecraft. Thank you devs .
This music has made me decide that I'm building a giant underground tunnel system. I just unlocked the pickaxe so I can now dig. It'll make travel to me and my friends second base in the black Forrest much easier
New content coming soon for the most lands and mountains!! If you need a friend too play with checkout the Valheim official discords, there’s always people looking too play together
Idk how (I do have threories tho) 3 people made one of the best games of the decade by themselves. When I played it for the first time and instantly lost track of time playing it for hours, I knew it would be an instant future classic. Thanks guys
I wish other open world games have meaningful day-night cycle... Waking up in the morning in valheim and seeing its still dark and the sun is slowly rising is honestly something else.
im not one for mythology games or boss fight games but something about this game has a grasp on me. even though the textures arent "high quality" its still absolutely stunning and the music is perfect for the tone. i fell in love with the building mechanics and the fact it has minecraft-like procedural generation. this is the first game (ive played at least) that i can confidently say its comparable to minecraft and ive been playing that since pocket edition. the vibe this game puts off is immaculate

This game will go down in history, I'm already feeling nostalgic from this music
Same
I can't wait to jump onto it again once they finish the new updates!
I love how praised it is without even being officially released yet, very cool
Dude. Listening today and it’s hitting hard 😢 I miss the fort with the homies!
"This game will go down in history" highly doubt that.
It's crazy how music from a game released less than a year ago can feel so nostalgic.
Not really released tbh, it's just in early access and will be for a while
Called good music design ;)
2:00 - 2:25 gives me goosebumps all the time
came to the comments just to look for that person to speak about this part
@@kevinzhu1727 ❤️🔥
When im playing the that is the part that makes me say "Damn I love this games music"

New update is supposed to drop soon
I hope you've been playing recently because mistlands just dropped and it's 🔥🥵
@@skillerkillero9344 Gonna play it soon waiting for my friend to get the game
The relaxing music you listen to as you deforestise the meadows to build a giant house and basically turn it into a giant plains
Just make a tree farm after you built your starter. Way more efficient
Without the Fulings thankfully
Just making the Meadows look more like a meadow.

Was one of the best survival games. Rainy days, no work and hours of valheim.
This game isn’t even finished and it’s one of the best I’ve played!
And it's far from a triple A And far better

So many good memories here. This game was like my Minecraft of 2011
Definitely has been thrown into my special games catalog. Little Big Planet, Minecraft, Terraria, Cubeworld, Red Dead 2 and now Valheim
I listen to this when I'm stressed/exhausted/sad. it helps a lot :)
This inspired me to head back to my first base in the meadows and finish up my mansion I started almost 2 years ago
This makes me miss the game a lot. I would lose endless hours in the game with the incredible music track. The meadows and sea fairing tracks are incredible. Time to play again!
Valheim got me through lockdown this game will always have a special place in my heart
best wood chopping game ever
One of my favorite games of all time. This track is great for work. I feel like an ancient scribe rather than a keyboard monkey.
The time my Gf and I had in this game is pure magic, we'll never forget the fond memories we collected over our time.
Even a year later we still think about the time we had there.
After so long without ads interrupting they finally caved in.
Hearing these blissful winds and strings playing as I crest the hill, come into port, or stepping through the nexus portals always warms the soul knowing I've made it back home to the meadows.
This is excellent music and this game is going to become a classic. It will be one of those games that is talked about for years. Superb.
I bet in a few years this music is gonna be so nostalgic.
it already feels like it is. Hits the spot musicially, reminds me of something from the old days. Like ES Oblivion or something
Hi, nearly 2024 now. Your comment has become true.
@@GooseGuzzyfacts bro I play it with my homies almost everyday 2 days ago we beat yagluth
Already is man.. Brings me back to 2023.
I loved to play Valheim and hear its songs.
I love when an epic game has an epic soundtrack to go with it. 10/10
3:34 when that low tone hits i fucking love it

Yo thanks. @@lipov7083
Holy shit, talk about being instantly transported mentally. I can't wait for the full release of this game.
1 part Fable and 2 parts Skyrim.
I love it
This track is really nostalgia-inducing... This theme, the "Home Base" theme and the "Sailing" theme are my favorite ones!
So many memories of the first time I played the game and built my first house

this song makes me wanna cry but happily
Valheim reminds me of all the games I played as a kid/teenager:
Meadows - Legend of Zelda Wind Waker
Black Forest - The Witcher 2
Swamps - Dark Souls
Mountain - Skyrim
Plains - ??? (Haven’t reached that far yet)

The Plains would be like Zelda Botw
What about sailing?

Joe you're a legend
when this game came out i only played until the swamps but i spent so much time in the meadows just building and enjoying the cozy vibes
Valheim was my escape from borderline and depression episodes. Cannot thank the creators enough ❤
This game has such chili vibes. The music in valheim is making my day.
This track is my happy place.
the meadows music is just like the Bully ambient music, no matter how much you hear it, you never get tired of hearing
Such a legendary game
I feel that crescendo of swelling emotion at 5:40 every time I hear this. I learn for that very moment. It sticks in my memory and is a calm place for me.
This is the perfect music for studying or working
This game just opened my long forgotten feelings of exploring new things, tthe same feeling I had many years ago while playing minecraft. Thank you devs .
This is so chill
So nostalgic
as another Joe, I thank you for your service Joe
I finished this game about 6 six months ago, and it already sounds so nostalgic.
I always think of the original Diablo Tristram theme when listening to this. It just creates so much atmosphere.
so beautiful its like coming home after a hard day
that feeling of relief when you run from a later zone while being chased by mobs back into the peaceful meadow
I fell asleep to this yesterday, that's how peacful this theme is
TRANQUILO HERMANO SI LEES ESTO...NO ERES EL UNICO QUE SE SIENTE ASI!!ANIMOS
All that's missing is the occasional whine of a deer, a neck growling nearby, and once in awhile, the sound of wild boar attack.
This music has made me decide that I'm building a giant underground tunnel system. I just unlocked the pickaxe so I can now dig. It'll make travel to me and my friends second base in the black Forrest much easier
Never gotten into this game that much, but dear god do i love this soundtrack. Wish i can get into this game again and find someone to play with
0:23 my favorite time in this music.
I miss this game. Wish there was new content and my other friends were still playing.
New content coming soon for the most lands and mountains!! If you need a friend too play with checkout the Valheim official discords, there’s always people looking too play together
Have you tried the Mistlands update? And there are some initial concepts for the Ashlands. Valheim is getting bigger and better.

2:15-2:25 Amazing, it reminds of a certain part of the Cerobi Steppe OST from FFXII
FFXII OST is my favorite ost of all time, and I fell in love with Valheims music right away, there are definitely similarities
Love this song. So relaxing when building and crafting, thank you!
4 years now and the game in so good I can't believe it
Ah, one of the few pleasant reminders of such a sh***y year.
Please do a loop for Home Base next, it's by far the most relaxing theme out of them all.
