I always come back to this song. Just hearing about how EA rejected making the third installment makes me so incredibly sad. This game had so much love put into it and every level was fascinating and I never got tired of playing it.
Alot of love an affection went into Alice by these creators. its saddening to think that there is actually a possibility that some other studio may be given the chance to make another Alice game instead of American McGee in the future... I doubt alot of the fans would be thrilled for it and I doubt said studio would put in as much passion
everything about this level was perfect: the colors, the environment, the music, the childhood memories, the moment I started this level I knew I wanted to play the whole game in its entirety
"The train is coming with it's shiny cars. With comfy seats and wheels of stars. So hush my little ones, have no fear. The man on the moon is the engineer."
Makes me think of walking through a forest, findings mystical things like evil fairies or weird creatures, but still having that little sense of danger and yearning to escape
Listening to this song gives me the weirdest feeling ever. It's super unsettling. I feel like I'm reliving a memory I don't even have. The playful vibe makes it even more twisted, like something tortured laughing in your face. It's especially off with the soft voices and jingling in the background. Almost feels steampunk-ish with the theme being dead and dark, but with wonder and vastness.
Psychological pain is the most painful experience we can have. Actually, it is easier just to run away from it. But as we make a fantasy of it, it just gets harder and harder to truly understand the source of our sadness. We actually make our fantasies be who we are.. and sometimes, They can get pretty beautiful..
"Psychological pain is the most painful experience we can have". I hear this claim repeated all the time, yet I suspect the people that say it have never experienced having their kneecaps drilled into.
There is an incredible sadness to this music. It kinda makes me think of the loss of innocence and childhood. Having to grow up quickly and leave behind your joys and step into a dangerous, cold, and unforgiving world.
This song makes me think of a walk down a dark park at midnight. Not totally creepy, but there is that little sense of danger, and fear that lingers in the back of your head. The park is still beautiful though.
* reads the comments * Does this really sound relaxing to you? I've always had more of an impression that this track pictures of a pretence of peace, like it was an introduction towards something sinister dwelling inside the alleys of Vale of Tears. Oh well...
@@1KilledKenny1 Listen to the 2000's Original where this track here is made of and you will hear that the pretence of peace that was talked about indeed hides in this song.. That song is not peaceful It's sad.. and rather hymnic..
"Amanita muscaria, Alice, is merely a stinky toadstool. A spongy consistency, but poisonous." "If you leap from that table again, Alice, I'll expire. You're two times too reckless, my girl." "Look at her - so small she's barely there. A vixen in her hidey-hole." "You're part frog, Alice, I swear. You jump so well!" "Rather upsetting journey, but I'm rid of Pris, or whatever she's become." "About time, too, Alice." "Blasted cat! Don't try to bully me! I'm very much on edge." "Purrrrfect. When you're not on edge, you're taking up too much space."
It's so calming but it has an eerie and sinister tone to it. A perfect introduction to the game because wonderland was peaceful and then it got more and more dark.
I couldn't sleep tonight, I never can but hearing this makes me feel scared but also really calm and happy, like I'm a fairy on a mushroom have tea with a giant sleep paralysis demon, creepy but nothing bad is happening, it's all just super calm, I also like to let my mind wander when I hear this, it's so lovely
It's fascinating how the insanity of Alice makes her even more beautiful , her innocent insanity , but aren't we all Alice in our hearts ? At some point we all live what she lives , that why we love her , because somehow we see ourselves in her ...
God, really wish EA had just let McGee make his third game so he wouldn’t have to keep crowdfunding it. That game has been through two kickstarters and will probably never exit development hell.
This is how I relax after a stressful day... I just close my eyes, listen to this for a while and suddenly things doesn't feel as bad as they did in the first place. Magic!
Una joya de banda sonora y de juego. Cuando salió en 2011 no lo podía mover ni a 5fps en mi portátil de 2010 con gpu de gama baja. Tuvo que ser el pasado año 2020 cuando lo recordé y lo jugué ya sin problemas de rendimiento y sí, enamorado absolutamente del juego. Pocas pegas, me encanta el control de Alice y la ambientación, las plataformas... Ya hace mucho que no hay juegos así.
for some odd reason, I think of little fairies swimming around inside a jar with glittery stars floating around in the water. Fairies that are growing scales on their elbows! But just a part of it. Fairies with ombre hair just floating around in the water as they swim around, playing with the glittery stars.
the word that describes the OST of this video game is "perfection", really the soundtrack is perfect I love it, I love all the OST and the video game as such I LOVE ALICIE MADNESS RETURNS 😍😍
It sounds like there's a magical presence to me, hiding somewhere nearby but you have no way of telling where it is, what it is or what it wants - beautiful, mysterious and kind of creepy.
OminousIllusionist they're all in the same musical "mode", Lydian, which often characterizes mystery and magic. Or you could argue that they're all in a major key but have the same IV - I chord progression
эта мелодия как будто бы из сна или из сна во сне... Я просто слушаю ее и погружаюсь в какие-то далёкие мысли,вспоминаю детство (как проходил первый раз Alice Madness Returns) и прочее. Очень нравится что здесь представлена более расширенная версия ибо я находил только на 2 минуты... А вообще музыка эта дарует мне ощущение спокойствия и безмятежности в перемешку с принятием своего... сумасшествия
Esta canción es perfecta; suena calmada y aparentemente pacífica, pero aún así (en el juego, y en general) da la sensación de que algo no anda bien, ya que por ciertos toques es inquietante 🌸 una de mis favoritas definitivamente ª 💖
The theme of a dream...You feel so weightless, so free, yet the world around you is so fragile that one bad thought shatters it, leaving nothing but a broken world you have to trudge though
This soundtrack does what a great soundtrack SHOULD do: make the emotions the player felt resurge. Once you've seen the Vale of Tears and heard THIS tune playing in the background, you will always remember the view and feeling.
This is absolutely beautiful, thank you for making this extended version. I've been having mental health issues (how fitting, considering the game..) and have been working on art therapy to this.
OKAY I TOOK A LONG A TIME TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS MAKES ME FEEL OR WHAT THIS MAKES ME THINK OF AND A THINK I KIND OF FOUND OUT It's not really that creative, but it makes think of a person coming back to the place they spent their childhood(it particularly makes me think of a farm) and remebering things they did when they lived there.
When the ones who live in the Light rejects you, you will find Darkness is a good place to go. Sure, is full of ghost, demons and monsters, but you will find them pretty human... just like you. Sometimes, our demons give us more peace and support than any angel. Sometimes, we can only be ourselves when we let ourselves go
that makes me feel soooo relaxed. it feels quite sad and also lonely, just... as if i was going to die, all alone and that no one would cry at my funerals but i like it :)
This makes my heart feel really strange, its like l'ev all love from my family and lost my sanity and I just cant be happy anymore but at the same time, it sounds really soothing
Same...maybe we re childish, but i really find peace in this song, no matter how i try to change it. Even if i try to think of dark things, they just start to feel peaceful, too.
the human mind is an amazing thing, theres a handful of people who dwell in the darkest parts of the mind, those people are the most imaginative and the creative. normal people dont understand that, theyre boring
i just finished the game a couple of days ago. to be honest, i found out about this game by accident. i was looking through some mortal kombat 9 videos when i saw alice madness returns. i thought it was a movie. rest is history :3
Bless you! Thank you so much, especially as you did it so quickly (yet again). I'm going to make you an Alice Madness Returns video as a thank you later on when I've finished work ^^ xoxox
I'm dressing up as her for Halloween too! You got the classic dress, right? I'm wearing the petticoat and stripes tights I bought for the costume right now as I listen to this as well.
Madness Returns was the greatest game I've played in a long time. Forget everybody that says it was terrible and forget EA for not funding Alice 3 because MR wasn't profitable enough. It is so sad that I will never get to know how this franchise will end. ;(
Guess what Halloween costume I got this year? No, not a rabbit. I got the Alice costume! Blood, necklace, necklace and all! I feel so epic wearing it while listening to the sound track... :D
"I swear if you jump off that table again, I'll expire! You're two times too reckless, my girl!"
Ismail Abd Khalil
"You're part frog, Alice, I swear. You jump so well!"
More like "expire in a tragic house fire"💀🔥
I always come back to this song. Just hearing about how EA rejected making the third installment makes me so incredibly sad. This game had so much love put into it and every level was fascinating and I never got tired of playing it.
I can replay this jewel of a game a hundred times. I'm heartbroken about the 3rd installment being cancelled.
Alot of love an affection went into Alice by these creators. its saddening to think that there is actually a possibility that some other studio may be given the chance to make another Alice game instead of American McGee in the future... I doubt alot of the fans would be thrilled for it and I doubt said studio would put in as much passion
fr dude, i always think about tf with EA, how them just reject alice asylum, i cant understand that:(
I'd pay my soul just for goddamn EA to change their mind, this Franchise needs to be revived and have a new fandom man
everything about this level was perfect: the colors, the environment, the music, the childhood memories, the moment I started this level I knew I wanted to play the whole game in its entirety
it's peaceful and quiet over here...
Indeed. So much charm that is missing from most games today.
"The train is coming with it's shiny cars.
With comfy seats and wheels of stars.
So hush my little ones, have no fear.
The man on the moon is the engineer."
"Peaceful Despair" is how I would describe this song.
Such a great way to describe it. I love it :)
This vibe is so true, it seems to innocent yet so broken
im back here. peaceful despair is exactly my mood now, and the only thing that can calm me down is this soundtrack
@@jellyfishlamp3611 I hope your mind is in a better place now. ♥️
@@boo3424 More or less. The worst happened i think, and now what theres left to do is heal (emotionally and mentally). Thank you for your concern :')
vale of tears is one of my favorite songs from this game
Mine the same
Same here, along with Queensland

just beyond the horizon...

That song is not peaceful
It's sad..
and rather hymnic..
@@1KilledKenny1 the calm before the storm
For me it’s more of peaceful nostalgia if that makes sense
I learned to play it on kalimba. It's an amazing, rich song when played slowly. It enhances the peace and removes the vague anxiety.
This is so beautiful, I closed my eyes and built my own Wonderland...
I did too and it's beautiful flowers mushrooms and cherry trees galore
~Blue-Eyed-Stray-God~ Excuse me, what's the name of the anime on your default?
LaMingo Johnson It's Noragami😊
LaMingo Johnson One of my favorite anime, just like Soul Eater😁
~Blue-Eyed-Stray-God~ Thank you so much, I'm going to watch it now! I appreciate the feedback. ^

The last line you wrote is my favorite from Cheshire ❤
It's so calming but it has an eerie and sinister tone to it. A perfect introduction to the game because wonderland was peaceful and then it got more and more dark.
It makes me feel sad and lonely. Like I'll never really have a good life.
Morganthe same as me , i really doesn't have good life like you .
my friend care about their friend but, not for me
Rest of Soundtrack:
"Hold my Beer"
6 years later, how is your life?
I couldn't sleep tonight, I never can but hearing this makes me feel scared but also really calm and happy, like I'm a fairy on a mushroom have tea with a giant sleep paralysis demon, creepy but nothing bad is happening, it's all just super calm, I also like to let my mind wander when I hear this, it's so lovely
It's fascinating how the insanity of Alice makes her even more beautiful , her innocent insanity , but aren't we all Alice in our hearts ? At some point we all live what she lives , that why we love her , because somehow we see ourselves in her ...
I get the "urge" or "desire" to be a protective big sister to Alice. I have so much empathy for her, even though she is fictional.
Sing a song my dear child. A song so innocent sounding, that no-one will mind. Whatever may be spoken in between the lines.
I have a feeling that this is from somewhere, but i don t knoe from where...
If you breathe slowly and fall asleep to this it can take you to your own magical world.....well it does for me.
God, really wish EA had just let McGee make his third game so he wouldn’t have to keep crowdfunding it. That game has been through two kickstarters and will probably never exit development hell.
This is how I relax after a stressful day... I just close my eyes, listen to this for a while and suddenly things doesn't feel as bad as they did in the first place. Magic!
i will never get enough of this
Wonderland is a treasure
Elizabeth Atherton of course it is 💜
Hi Alice. How's your sanity these days?
Alice Liddell, are you ok now?
+fountainhead Q-quite better, doctor.
the music in this game is really beutiful
Una joya de banda sonora y de juego. Cuando salió en 2011 no lo podía mover ni a 5fps en mi portátil de 2010 con gpu de gama baja.
Tuvo que ser el pasado año 2020 cuando lo recordé y lo jugué ya sin problemas de rendimiento y sí, enamorado absolutamente del juego. Pocas pegas, me encanta el control de Alice y la ambientación, las plataformas... Ya hace mucho que no hay juegos así.
Me pasaba lo mismo, la pobre pc del gobierno que tenia parecía que iba a explotar solo con iniciar el juego xd.
I always seem to envision a refined version.
for some odd reason, I think of little fairies swimming around inside a jar with glittery stars floating around in the water. Fairies that are growing scales on their elbows! But just a part of it. Fairies with ombre hair just floating around in the water as they swim around, playing with the glittery stars.

Listening closely to this... I can hear Saria's Lost Woods theme song in a sort of slowed down rhythm.
i can also hear the healing song o-o
OminousIllusionist they're all in the same musical "mode", Lydian, which often characterizes mystery and magic. Or you could argue that they're all in a major key but have the same IV - I chord progression
this is my favorite song from Alice madness returns gives you a peaceful and peaceful feeling
10 years ago I was playing this masterpiece. Superb game! ❤
It sounds very friendly to me but sad too.
"Ah shit, here we go again"
--19th playthrough me

Yo la siento tan pacífica y pura, con un toque de misticismo
The theme of a dream...You feel so weightless, so free, yet the world around you is so fragile that one bad thought shatters it, leaving nothing but a broken world you have to trudge though
Rachel Tiffany good description my dude lol.
This soundtrack does what a great soundtrack SHOULD do:
make the emotions the player felt resurge.
Once you've seen the Vale of Tears and heard THIS tune playing in the background, you will always remember the view and feeling.
You're part frog, Alice, you jump so well.,
"Vale of tear", has a way of making you feel...
So very calm and relaxed..
And yet different?
This is absolutely beautiful, thank you for making this extended version. I've been having mental health issues (how fitting, considering the game..) and have been working on art therapy to this.
Ey is that Vale of Tears from Alice Madness Returns?! I love that soundtrack!
This makes me feel things, I just don't know what they are.
OKAY I TOOK A LONG A TIME TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS MAKES ME FEEL OR WHAT THIS MAKES ME THINK OF AND A THINK I KIND OF FOUND OUT
It's not really that creative, but it makes think of a person coming back to the place they spent their childhood(it particularly makes me think of a farm) and remebering things they did when they lived there.
This song is so relaxing. It makes me feel calm, the game really is a masterpiece and it's one of my favorite soundtracks 😊😊
those first steps into this world ..........................
kind of like finding a really good friend that lost their sanity and you have to take them down even though you really don't want to
What?
What do you mean by take them down?
not really...
If world peace ever existed, this peaceful beautiful music would be the anthem.
When the ones who live in the Light rejects you, you will find Darkness is a good place to go. Sure, is full of ghost, demons and monsters, but you will find them pretty human... just like you. Sometimes, our demons give us more peace and support than any angel. Sometimes, we can only be ourselves when we let ourselves go
“Lost hopes and dreams’’ i’ll probably describe it like that
that makes me feel soooo relaxed. it feels quite sad and also lonely, just... as if i was going to die, all alone and that no one would cry at my funerals but i like it :)
i just love how elegant the music is.
this song makes me feel... Like when your falling in a world inside your mind, leaving everything wrong behind....but you know stills there....
Bless your heart! I've been wanting an extended version of this.
Truly deeply beautiful
This makes my heart feel really strange, its like l'ev all love from my family and lost my sanity and I just cant be happy anymore but at the same time, it sounds really soothing
To me, this theme is only happy. Wistful and nostalgic maybe, but at peace. It makes me very calm, and makes me imagine my own Wonderland.
Same...maybe we re childish, but i really find peace in this song, no matter how i try to change it. Even if i try to think of dark things, they just start to feel peaceful, too.
It was at this point where I realised that I had fallen in love with this game
This is my favorite song from the game!!!
♥Thank you for uploading ♥

Thank you so much for this , i love this so much . Alice Madness returns is one of my favorites games
i miss this game
Prrrfect when you're not on edge you're taking too much space!
This is still my favorite game
MY SOUL RELAX AND PIECE WILD I PLAY THE VALE OF TEARS TO SLEEP AFTERNOON
i just finished the game a couple of days ago. to be honest, i found out about this game by accident. i was looking through some mortal kombat 9 videos when i saw alice madness returns. i thought it was a movie. rest is history :3
This song and the Card Castles one are so beautiful!
Bless you! Thank you so much, especially as you did it so quickly (yet again). I'm going to make you an Alice Madness Returns video as a thank you later on when I've finished work ^^ xoxox
I am more relaxed than I’ve been in a long time
Only the fucking realest are in this chat. If ya'll find the meaning to everything lemme know
O-O That's deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. And, yes, I do quite agree. We all have a little Alice inside of us.
I'm dressing up as her for Halloween too! You got the classic dress, right? I'm wearing the petticoat and stripes tights I bought for the costume right now as I listen to this as well.
I don't know what feeling this song creates in me. Not sadness, not happiness... but I love it anyway
im depressed and creative at the same time :/
This is definitely one of my favorites from the official OST.
This loop helps me write so well, it inspires me so well. Thank you:)
if only EA had valued this game :(
The games was amazing!
Although it was 19+ i still enjoyed playing it at 7 years old.So Nostalgic.
It only get curiouser and curiouser from here.
It feels like it's suitable music to listen while falling from high, high building.
;-; Wow....... I love you so much right now!! :D
Extended version is just what we all need
This is just so beautiful and melancholic.....
Blasted cat! Do not try to bully me! I’m very much on edge!
Randomly stumbled across this soundtrack while browsing and I love it. Gonna have to try the game now.
I can feel myself falling down the rabbit hole when I listen to this, awesome ost.
Madness Returns was the greatest game I've played in a long time. Forget everybody that says it was terrible and forget EA for not funding Alice 3 because MR wasn't profitable enough. It is so sad that I will never get to know how this franchise will end. ;(
thank you sir/madam! Qieth was actualy my first youtuber :)
"I didn't come back here looking for a fight."
"Really? Well, that's a pity. One's certainly looking for you."
whoa a typo, i mean, the artworks and the songs are WAY AWESOME, i like the song as well :)
I could picture a little girl slowly going insane to this...such a twisted and amazing game.
Oh...my friend wanted to know thanks for responding!
Perfect to read !!!!
So peaceful. I love it!
Guess what Halloween costume I got this year?
No, not a rabbit.
I got the Alice costume! Blood, necklace, necklace and all!
I feel so epic wearing it while listening to the sound track... :D
This soundtrack is incredible.
I love this song.
this music is quite similar to one soundtrack in babadook
i can listen to this all day..
I don't get these dark comments about this song. I feel like i'm walking through a calm magical garden, like one i imagined as a kid
this song calms meh down sooo much...the others are just plain sad
It sounds like " Song of Healing " for me!
At a guess, I think it is because they are in the same modal key.
Maybe.
could u please show me the link to "song of healing"
T o j he is talking about the "Song of Healing" from "The Legend of Zelda"
This game is the best modern adaptation of Carroll's masterpiece.
