I get that part, but you played dead island and riptide right? If they had made this one just like those with better graphics I’d have been happy. Nowhere to go but up when it comes to a good company like this
This song is a prime example of how much impact music has on the complex artistic medium that video games are. The mix of beautiful animations, comfy 80's vibes and mesmerizing music made get that wow moment in the first few minutes of starting the game. Chapeau bas :)
Yeah, I still get nostalgic when I hear the ME3 Leaving Earth or TLOU 1 and 2 or Dishonored 1&2 theme songs. same thing with The Evil Within 2, Ordinary World song, which is one of the best video game soundtracks imo.
Shoot I was in my senior year in high school and played the hell out of the first game mostly solo, but I still had loads of fun and I love how in both games there’s a lot of enviorment story telling in each zone
You having kids is such a blessing, mate! I hope to be as lucky one day. The game is awesome, and the journey (mine) from 16 to 23 years old, reaching D2 from D1 was quite the journey. This game is truly a dream come true. Peace✌️
The lyrics: When the darkness put away And the stars don't doubt me When the fire's burning blue through you We're alive inside a flame And the night's a brighter shade When the fire's burning blue through you Please, let me drown Please, let me drown Pool emotes without color It knows the sea is dark there Without light, it knows the fire, they can't find it When the tide pulls away Not the one you need to save All the lies, they were coming true with you So please, let me drown Please, let me drown Feel a little light in my shoes Feel a little light on my feet Feel a little light in my shoes (light the fire, oh, light the flame) Light the fire, oh, light the flame Feel a little light under me (light the fire, oh, light the flame) Light the fire, oh, light the flame
From being a child to a 21 year old. Dead Island had a huge impact on what games i like to play. Now dead island 2 is out, I'm reliving my childhood but with alot more blood and guts
@@georges9760 I agree to some extend with you i am currently playing it. I think this game is really good but aside from the graphics its worse then the first one. Considering how the recent games that released were and are a mess this is a really good game for 2023. I couldnt find any bugs yet, performance is really good even on a GTX 1060 you can get above 100 fps in 1080, no micro transactions (atleast now).
@@PokeBurnPlease I'm dissapointed hoped it would be better. People are saying "oh it took the time and the changing of devs" That is not our problem, we shouldn't have to lay for a sub par game and be ok because people passed around the rights to the name "Dead Island" for their own monetary gain.
@@georges9760 stfu, the map design is good, maps are in good shape, you are just used to big games with 300 waypoints, some Ubisoft saturation type of shit. Let the devs work on smaller games, with good gameplay and a ok storytelling, not all games need to be a AAA. People need to remember, games need to be fun, not have some big map with boring futility that only gamers with free time are willing to complete. Dead island 2 is a Great game, not a masterpiece.
@@georges9760 subpar lmfao, what games are considered good to you then, cause this is by far one of the best high profile releases of the last few years full of nothing but buggy unfinished garbage.
I also like how Jacob is just chilling there with a Katana and having a smoothie while in the pool and the zombies are right there with him. Like he ain't even worried at all. It's the small details in the game cover that make it look like an interesting game to play.
Listening to this every time I'm driving to and from the hospital to see my child and wife who just gave birth. Great song, sounds like the ending credits to a chapter in my life, and the beginning of a new one.
This song definitely helps set the mood to go on slaying sprees. Couldn’t have picked a better one I don’t think. I’m so glad they used this cause my metal head elitist ass would have never gotten to hear this 🔥
It is so surreal to finally be playing this game after seeing the original trailer almost a decade ago. I'm almost done with it now, and it was one of the best gaming experiences I have had in a while.
Those aren't high hopes then. The game quickly falls apart when you ignore the visuals and gore system. Undeniably, both are top of the line, hell, the gore system should even be a new standard games should reach, but idk
My dog passed away today and i tried playing this to get my mind off and instead got stuck hearing this song to cope. He was on IV because he was going through kidney failure so he was extremely dehydrated and i only think of how hard i stayed up giving him water to keep him alive. This song definitely hits like a ton of bricks. Rest Up Easy Rocky, ill always love you❤
Something ethereal about loading this game and listening to this smooth banger. It’s a calm before the shit hits the fan. It’s a “get your mind right” before you unleash havoc. It’s a woosah namaste to the absolute carnage that is about to take place. If there ever was a song that can put you in the right place at anytime, this is it!!!!
Some of us expected dead island 2 to repeat the fate of duke nukem forever, but we were horribly wrong, thank God! Just a solid proof, that sometimes it is worth to wait, no matter how long it can take
I was waiting this game for years and stopped keeping tabs on it. Buddy told me that it was already out so I immediately bought it. The last week has been super fun!
Im really enjoying this game so far man it took a hot minute for it but damn the series has never looked so good also love the new ensemble of characters!

I feel like this is one of those perfect video game menu songs The game is full of high energy carnage and the menu song is slow and calm and just makes the game feel so much better
The voice behind Amy also did great work. But then again she has some major roles on her record, Mythra from Xenoblade for instance. Strangely enough, without checking who voiced her, her voice immediately reminded me of Cheram Leigh.
I finally got to play it since it released on Steam. I wasn't expecting much, but man is it good! I definetely chill in the menu listening to this banger getting ready to marvel at the beautiful enviroment. It's amazing how beautiful death can be...
![Dead Island 2 - Menu Theme "DROWN" (Instrumental) [HQ]](/img/1.gif)
I’m guilty of staying in the main menu to just listen to this banger😂
Same I was like its been awhile that any main menu music made me not want to start game right away
Me three! I was NOT expecting to sit there listening to menu music before even playing the game haha
@@knoble1985 same here. I took my time to push X :D
Bitch! Me too lol I was like better just look up the song!
Lol me too
when a video game has good music, you remember that game forever.
That's the truest thing I've heard about video games
Very true
I guess when I say „Video killed the radio star“ everyone knows which Game we are talking about 😂
Same happen to me with life is strange, i Will never forget that Game
fr it can be trash but as long as the audio and music are good it fire
Played the first time last night felt like a dream booting up the game and hearing this song
such an incredible game. im blown away every time i boot it up
Same man, great opening
The intro cutscene after the start menu was just an incredible follow up too!
@TytheGuy standard is great enough since there isn’t any big dlc out yet, plenty of play time from standard, enjoy!
Perfect description! I heard the music, knew the game was going to be good.
It's incredible how a game that was stuck in development hell for a decade actually turned out pretty damn good
Dead Island 2 put many AAA games this year to shame
Like Robocop 👌🏿

I remember playing the original Dead Island with my buddy when I was 14. Now I'm 26 and having a blast with DI2.
I played the original when I was 19. Now I’m 30 and I’m enjoying the sequel too😁
Same bro 😅
Literally same man. Loving the game as much at 26 as I did when I was 14.
I played the Original when I was like 7 I'm now 17

@@prettyhatemachine8887 what is the ME3?
@@rodolforosales3380most likely Mass Effect 3
@@rodolforosales3380 Mass effect 3 i think. "leaving earth" is something that happens in that game, so that's what i'm thinkin. 3 months late.
Anyone else got this stuck in their head like crazy?
I get stuck in main menu because of this song
Wars come and go but my soldiers stay internal
I was like 20-21 when the first game dropped, im 32 with kids now. I had a tear of joy when this booted up.
Same here now 33. The original game came outta no where. And it was hell of a zombie game and this one does justice to it.

This song makes the main menu so calm and peaceful, so sometimes I'll just sit at the menu until the song ends then I'll play the game
i do the same thing 😂
Same
It really makes it feel like there's no hope. It's a masterpiece for this game
i swear this song is absolutely fire
Man this song is going to be sooo nostalgic in a few years... love it :)
It already is
It already is to me😭😭
welcome to hell a
Such a good song. Not many songs listen like a drug.
I can already imagine it. Kids playing this today, after about 10 years they think of this track the same way we think of the DI1 soundtrack.
The lyrics:
When the darkness put away
And the stars don't doubt me
When the fire's burning blue through you
We're alive inside a flame
And the night's a brighter shade
When the fire's burning blue through you
Please, let me drown
Please, let me drown
Pool emotes without color
It knows the sea is dark there
Without light, it knows the fire, they can't find it
When the tide pulls away
Not the one you need to save
All the lies, they were coming true with you
So please, let me drown
Please, let me drown
Feel a little light in my shoes
Feel a little light on my feet
Feel a little light in my shoes (light the fire, oh, light the flame)
Light the fire, oh, light the flame
Feel a little light under me (light the fire, oh, light the flame)
Light the fire, oh, light the flame
tide pulls US away*
Such a lush tune!
Thanks for posting!!

One of the hardest menu bops EASILY. This one will be remembered for years 🎉🎉🎉

Dead Island 2 has become my new addiction. It's just mindless fun especially with co-op. I wasn't expecting much but it thoroughly surprised me!
Such an incredible song to start a game that was a decade into the running. An air of hype and sadness to it 🎉😢
This and the music that plays in the "kwon with the wind" mission is fire! Can't wait for the full ost to release down the line!
the perfect song for the opening. can’t beat it
I love how in the menu it just keeps going and going. Like mozying down a hot LA sidewalk that disappears over the horizon.
This song definitely helps set the mood to go on slaying sprees. Couldn’t have picked a better one I don’t think. I’m so glad they used this cause my metal head elitist ass would have never gotten to hear this 🔥
Yep, same sentiments here too. Metal 90% of the time, then you find something like this that just belongs somewhere on your playlist.
It is so surreal to finally be playing this game after seeing the original trailer almost a decade ago. I'm almost done with it now, and it was one of the best gaming experiences I have had in a while.
It feels like when games we’re made for “fun” and not “monitisation” aka to farm money with transactions
This song is so good and the intro animation is gorgeous and together it’s just incredible
It's weird how this already sounds nostalgic to me
Such a good opening song, and the game has been great so far too
Best game I've played all year
The game is everything I wanted it to be I hope we get some dlc content down the road
We will in some form or another, there is a buyable expansion pass
Those aren't high hopes then. The game quickly falls apart when you ignore the visuals and gore system. Undeniably, both are top of the line, hell, the gore system should even be a new standard games should reach, but idk

This song brought forth so many emotions, so much nostalgia from the past games, it made me want to replay the whole franchise and boy did i!
Just started playing this 2024 Feb cuz of Gamepass. I got lost quickly zoned out to this song 😂😅
I fell in love with the intro music
Matches the game perfectly
I just got the game today, and man when i started the game and this song started playing, i just couldn't press ENTER to skip the cutscenes
This shit goes hard as f*** I can't lie
Man they Always choose the right songs, love this one ❤
Very nice song tbh
I have to say I have just beat the game and I now just sit on the open menu smoking and listening to the screen music. I can’t wait for the dlcs 😤
Honestly can’t wait for the DLCs to come out. Only “scary” game I played and actually love it
Guys really this song on DI2 is AWESOME. Same here when start the game first the song then playing the game✌️✌️👍👍
Can’t believe it’s here and we already got hit with a banger 😮💨
Yoooo
Guys.The melody of this song is so beautiful, but I don't know what it means...
Starting up the game to this masterpiece of a song was the cherry on top 🔥🔥
I can't agree more I started the game up launch night at 4 am and this song was the cherry on top ^-^
I spent half the time playing this game on listenint to the song in the menu lmao
Dude they have an absolutely amazing team on the sound tracks I loved everything thing about this game except how short it was
since Dead Island 2 came out i've been listening to this song daily
This is my game of the year
I swear I made a Snapchat video to this song when I first played this idc I only listen to rap music and R&B this shit relaxing with a blunt
Like this music. 😊
i love this song
Starting the bias train here : Jacob is the best survivor
Dani
Jacob for style, Ryan for heroics, Bruno for immersion, Dani for sass, Carla for excitement, Amy for kindness
Amy's my favorite. They're all cool though, totally.
Great song. The melody caught my ear first time I played. I also love the ambient sounds within the gameworld. Great audio👌🏾
Great drinking song 😎🤘🏼💯🍻 dope game too!
WHY AM I JUST FINDING OUT DANGER MOUSE PRODUCED THIS, BRO I LOVE HIS PRODUCTION AND NOW I HAVE A BIGGER RESPECT BECAUSE I ALSO LOVE THIS GAME
I need this whole damn soundtrack already
The music gives me an isolated feel which is obviously great for the game considering your quarantined and isolated from the rest of the world
I guess I can finally say “please let me drown”🫠
