      Also while carrying Theo's cage, it seems like the eyes are following Madeline, but they're really following Theo, which is a pretty cool detail.

    • @ElRinconDeLaPapa
      @ElRinconDeLaPapa 5 лет назад +201

      Also, if you follow Theo on Ig (TheoUnderStars), you can see that prior to the game he struggled with all this of trying to adjust to other people's expectations: find an stable job, earn good money. He couldn't bring himself to do that, and took the trip to Celeste also to connect to his grandpa, who was his rolemodel. So the eyes are pretty much the representation of Theo feeling the entire world is judging him and paying attention to his actions and failures

    This song feels so deceptively calming. It’s so somber and chill but also sad and empty sounding. The slight intense buildup of the song gives It the feeling of something balancing. The awe of balance but also the fear that it all fall down at any moment. It’s quiet subdued and mysterious. Almost subtly anxious

    The sentimentality and lonely feeling this song evokes is truly special. I never imagined buying this seemingly simple platformer off steam that I would experience such a rich story, right level design, and absolutely breathtaking soundtrack. Great music really completes a games world, and this music does so perfectly. I really hope Lena Raine is asks to make soundtracks for many games in the future, and rest assured I’ll be playing them if just to hear the music.

    Sometimes you can feel like your life is a spiral. And the only way you can go in it is down.
    You can't make yourself tell anyone about it. You shut your fears, insecurities and anxieties inside yourself, miserably trying to hide what you feel from others. You distance yourself from the people you care about - from people that care about *you.*
    You are quiet. And you are _falling._

    I absolutely adore this piece, it's sad, yet calming. Peaceful, yet foreboding. Absolutely ambient and fits perfectly with the Temple and the sheer openness and unknown it provides. But one thing I also like about it, is that it gives that sense of familiarity. Like you've heard it somewhere before, and yet it still feels foreign to you. People are saying it sounds like DK Country water levels, RE save room, Zelda, and other games tracks and various classical composers. But I think that's the point. Take into consideration the reversed words of Madeline:
    "Sometimes, I... don't really know... what's going on anymore. I... I don't... know who I am. I just... look in the mirror, and... don't know who I'm looking at. Or... who's looking at me. I... think a lot... about... where... my train of thought is going... and it's not always a good place. And that scares me. I don't... like... scaring myself. I don't..."
    The feelings that this song invokes I think portrays how she feels. She knows her reflection, but yet while she should be feeling a sense of familiarity with it, instead she is uncomfortable with it, and it feels foreign to her. She worries herself. Scares herself. She worries about her future, and I think this song's foreboding yet familiar nature captures that perfectly.
    I think that's beautiful, even if I'm just reading into it too much.

    I don't know if I'm mistaken, and please forgive me if this comes across as insensitive, but I feel as though this music isn't just from someone who can write good music and knows their key signature moods and chord progressions. This is written by someone who feels, loves, and lives the music they've written, or at the very least does a really good job of making it seem that way. Forgive me for the mirror pun, this game not only made me take a step back and reflect on my own mental issues, but this song in particular is almost haunting. It's so simple, yet it's so beautiful. The broken triads or whatever those are called in the first half and the time to reflect on life in the second is so well executed. If there's anything I took away from this game it was the soundtrack and the story (oh and I guess the platforming was pretty fun and infuriating too). I'm sure you've received tons of compliments before, and that I'm not even close to being done with life's hardships, and that the odds of you reading this are zero to none - but I just want to say thank you for creating this soundtrack and sharing it with the world. The first time I heard the track "Anxiety" I started to feel very uncomfortable and actually began having trouble breathing smoothly. Now, after going through all of the C-Sides, I can say that this game (and a few mental images of feathers) has helped me get a grip on what to do when I feel like I'm having a panic attack. You've actually made my life, and the lives of many other people by the look of it, a lot easier to put into perspective. Thank you. Your work has helped me change myself for the better.

    So I just got back to playing Celeste after a long break. Entering this chapter, man. I had to pause for a minute. The song that began playing was beautifully crafted, but also left a very unsettling tone. Something about the temple didn’t feel right.
    After a trek through the dangerous mountain, a really calm track just suddenly coming out of nowhere caught me off guard.
    This piece set the tone of the level right off the bat. It’s so beautiful. Thank you, Lena. 💙

    Lena, I can't even begin to explain how much I love your work in Celeste. This game, although I've only played it recently because of a sale on Switch, has quickly become a cornerstone of my very being. The music complements the tone of the game at all times and I was always feeling the right emotions at the right time. Over time, persistence has become my first answer to adversity in both video games and real life, and this is 100% because of the things Celeste taught me. Thank you for creating a riveting OST that shook me to the core every single chapter.

    I wonder, as a studying music theorist, what were the inspirations on making this piece? Clearly this is a descending chromatic progression, but I'd love to know what the inspiration was for this. There is another piece I found on RUclips that uses such a wonderful harmonic progression called Hushabye Mountain by Rupert Austin, and many more from classical pieces that just sound so good to the ears. I am dying to know if the inspirations came from the classical era, or jazz era, or any time period really. I absolutely love this piece and it stands out the most (aside from the masterfully crafted Farewell that just tops everything instantly).

    • @cyberbird451
      @cyberbird451 3 года назад +19

      When it comes to video game music the clear inspiration is the Resident Evil 1 save room theme. The shifting arpeggios over a held keyboard chord gives it that calm, yet uneasy feel. The save room theme is also accompanied by a distant oddly tuned whistling , which adds to that uneasiness. I don't know enough classical music to say what piece original inspired Resident evil 1, but I do know that many games have tried to replicate that feeling over the years, most notably the Dark Souls menu theme.
