I'm Amelia, the singer for City of Tears. Hollow Knight came out 7 years ago, so I'm feeling a bit nostalgic myself, and I can't say how much it means to read all your comments. Whenever I feel like I'm not on the right path and things get hard, I read through these comments and smile that I've had the privilege of sharing my voice with you.
Thank you Amélia, your voice is very striking and almost always inspires us to move forward!
I can certainly say that City of Tears was the turning point for me. The point i got fully sucked in and awestruck. Going down that elevator and have the music elevate and put vocals. It made me stand still and listen. Thank you for your work.
I’ll be honest, you have the most beautiful singing voice I’ve ever heard. I feel like you could easily perform on stage if you wanted to, your voice is *that* good.
Your masterpiece will be the song that I will listen to till the end of time
Entering the City of Tears and being struck with such hauntingly beautiful vocals is a feeling I will never forget, It was truly incredible. This is probably the best track on the OST in my opinion. Thank you.
Through its sacrifice, Hallownest lasts eternal

So true
But, really, why would you want to?
@grimmchild Is that a boss? I haven't beaten HK yet :(
I love how this song builds when you enter the City of Tears for the first time. It was past midnight and I'd been playing the game for a few hours, wanting desperately to get into the City of Tears before going to sleep. Descending from the Fungal Wastes, seeing hints of the city through the windows, watching the rainfall, meeting Quirrel on one of the benches, and the music finally builds and comes to a head as you reach the ground level and head for the statue of the Hollow Knight. Fantastic moment, I'll never forget it.
Edit: I was surprised to see this has reached 1k likes after only 6 months or so, so I'll add a little bit - I was honestly really interested every time an NPC would mention the City of Tears, or when I'd see signposts for the location. That's how I realised "Huh, this seems to be a pretty important location" and it's why I wanted to get down there as soon as possible.
Wow my experience was pretty much the same first playthrough except I did like no research about the map or anything, such a beautiful and peaceful place to stumble upon
This game really makes me feel things man. An absolute masterpiece and a classic. Underrated as all hell.
That moment gives me goosebumps whenever I replay the game
This make me rethink my life choices
I saw fireborn speedrun before playing this but i didn't watch it fully just skipping over playbar i saw these huge windows and major part of the game was being done near these windows ,it fascinated me what they hold,so it was great suspense to discover it ,amd when i finally reached a window I thought is this it the main area of the game,but the game delivered me another hit in the heart with the statute of hollow knight and the Music,once in a lifetime gaming experience

This. This was the exact part of Hollow Knight that made me fall in love with the game
Same here ^^ Sitting here at the bench with Quirrel, with him looking back at me, with the music and everything...
That was the first time, I'm pretty sure, that I've ever cried because of how beautiful something was, and that's when I, too, fell in love with Hollow Knight
Greenpath wasn't enough?
@@ofuturopolimata6961 Greenpath was good but to actually be outside was so freeing for me. I still felt very caged in but as soon as I heard the rain I knew I actually made it out.
Me too man. The music and the rain was the moment I realised I loved the game.
I fell in love with The Consouls' beautiful cover ruclips.net/video/OU41aaDx0u4/видео.html
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a moment you fall in love with the game.
Nah it was greenpath that got me lmao
@@SerialDesigantionV_Simp greenpath was defiantly what got me hooked, but city of tears definitely made me love it
For me its when i broke the dirtmouth big door with the cool cutscene
Same
the moment for me was probably crystal peaks. i loved that area
this song makes me want more out of my life
edit after 3 months: my life is in a much better state, I feel better than I ever have.
That's nice to here :)
Nice job man
way to go naruto
yeah it’s the song
same
Is it just me or does hearing this track just make you melancholy?
You are not alone! I am shocked at how well the composer can bring out whatever emotion fits the area of the game
This melancholy is on purpose, once this music was made to a decadent city, what Hallownest is.
The beautiful cover by The Consouls is also very sentimental ruclips.net/video/OU41aaDx0u4/видео.html
That is the point
this is like, the musical embodiment of hollow knight's lore, so sophisticated yet making you feel utterly depressed listening to it with the rainy, empty, infected, dead, non-dead city
I like this song, very much incapsulates the City of Tears, sounding very lively and harmonious. Even Marissa singing in the background supports the song's emotional capture, but however, the city itself is abandoned with the corpses of past residents and soldiers roaming the many houses and streets, even Marissa is but a dream ghost. And at the end 2:45, it comes back to reality of how you are running through an abandoned, use to be spiraling, metropolis.
Edit: if you couldn't tell, *I fuckin love this game*
I think we all love hollow knight

@@uhoh7545 Not on Marissa!
that's why i love the whole loop... it reminds you you're just running through ruins...
this song plays in my head whenever i'm outside on a rainy day

I had a friend who loved the rain. We'd go out with our umbrellas and hang out together. Other people were inside... the world felt like a different place. A few years ago he moved away and we haven't seen each other since... whenever it rains I think of him.
@@cynthiaender Beautiful. Just beautiful.
@Cynthia Ender that's great, I wish i could remember old friends in such a way, most my old friends became bad people, bit the sounds of rain, is just what peace sounds like
I listened to this while walking in the rain. It made me see the one of the best qualities of life.
Entering the city of tears for the first time is an unforgettable moment. I don’t know how they nailed they atmosphere this well, but they did.
Nailed
It wouldn’t have been near as good without Quirrel sitting on that bench.
Hits different when you living in rainy megapolis like St. Petersburg or London.
Yes, this song is the reason I now prefer cold dark and rainy days over hit and sunny ones. Relaxing, peaceful and nostalgic.
Or Seattle, which is the city I think of when it comes to rainy cities.
i live in St. Petersburg but it’s summer so it’s hot asf
I live in the mountains and it still hits different, like I'm travelling through the woods while it's raining
@@wegMachMeister Not anymore
This song hits me in the feels so bad and so good at the same time. Listen to it everyday at least 6 times
I also love listening to this beautiful cover by The Consouls ruclips.net/video/OU41aaDx0u4/видео.html
Its been a whole year. You probably took some break off. Am replying to you so you can come back and listen to this masterpiece once again :)
Listening to the ost after not playing for a while has given me that feeling I had when I first played.
This beautiful cover by The COnsoul gives the same feel ruclips.net/video/OU41aaDx0u4/видео.html
I kinda feel you on that. Obviously, it makes me feel nostalgic, but I also get this overwhelming feeling I initially had when first entering the city. Probably the closest I'll ever get to experiencing a game for the time again.
The choir, the piano, the pacing. This one simple piece encapsulates the entire essence of Hollow Knight up until this point. And it's a piece of music Hollow Knight fans and non Hollow Knight fans can both enjoy
Thanks for uploading the OST, RUclips became a dark place with the loss of the original playlist
At least there was The Consouls' beautiful cover ruclips.net/video/OU41aaDx0u4/видео.html
What happened with the old playlist?
@@freechips4468 The channel that uploaded them got banned
@@czajkowski2352 how dare they ban such an artist
Oh, I get it. It's called the City of Tears because the music brings me to tears.
im not crying the city is
This song fills me with a profound nostalgia.
It is almost like a sadder, less repetitive version of the feeling you get from listening to Travelers from Outer Wilds. (Both songs are absolutely fantastic)
I just sat on the first bench in city of tears and just did my homework. It's my favourite ost so far
the one where quirrel was resting on?
Such a lovely theme for such a depressing place
Thank you so much for uploading these! Sad that the previous versions got taken down, they were a treasure. Really appreciate it! :)
Why did they get taken down?
@@rondanziger240 The entire channel (IndiGo) has been terminated for copyright infringement. I'm guessing because they had also Nintendo music uploaded.
@@Amellifera. of course it's due to frickin' Nintendo
@@Amellifera. rip to indigo and Gilvasunner by that fake nintendo
I've been listening to this beautiful cover by The Consouls ruclips.net/video/OU41aaDx0u4/видео.html
In the Bellagio in Vegas, they played this (Summer 2023). I had to stop and take it in because I didn’t expect a Vegas hotel to play music from Hollow Knight
So I wasn’t hearing things
Yo
This almost made me cry, the rainy weather, the abandoned buildings, the silence mixed with this song. This is art.
Marrisa cooked with this one
I love how it "tilts" at the end, gives me goosebumps every time, it's even better in the game where it immediately loops.
Did ya know. There's A Spirit in city of tears singing this song...
Where?
@@jackhendry7 Ride to king station if you are nowhere near the city of tears.. And when you arrive there. Just go straight left and choose the upper path then continue being on the top or if this instruction is not confusing. go to the section(in city of tears) where you can fight the great husk sentry(Huge maroon Bug with shield) You can find a hot spring sign outside the entrance of the Pleasure House.
Yea and listening to this after knowing her story, this theme just feels sad now
Marissa
I wanna make an illustration based on this piece. Blue colors, tall buildings, and the feeling that the only thing you can do is sit back and enjoy the moment.
Hi old account. I’m working on the illustration rn.
The Most Beautiful ost I ' ve ever heard in video game
Also if you get to hear The Consouls live - a beautiful cover ruclips.net/video/OU41aaDx0u4/видео.html
The Most Beautiful song I ' ve ever heard.
This song makes me feel like an adventure is about to begin, I’ve never played the game but I love it
Its on sale on steam right now its a robbery for that price hollow knight is masterpeice
I liked this game a lot. The soundtrack is good, the mechanics are pretty solid and the world of Hollow Knight is very interesting and well-designed. For what they are charging, I'd say it's a pretty good bang for the buck.
Beautiful music
My favorite part of the lockdown almost two years ago was playing through this game the first time blind, one of the best experience any game has ever granted me
A melody that tells a tale, of a kingdom, once filled with joy and life. Now laid abandoned to ruin...and although his sacrifice meant the eternity of Hallownest, the city weeps not only for the brave knight's fate, but for the tragic fall of the kingdom...
"I've seen things you bugs wouldn't believe...primal aspids spitting at me off the Kingdom's Edge...i watched Lifeblood seeds glitter in the dark caves near the Howling Cliffs...all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in this city."
this was beautiful! Read it like it was from little ghost's pov :)
@Deadpoppin objectively wrong
Blade runners was better
@Deadpoppin the fanbase aint that toxic, also I forgot to add /j
@Deadpoppin fair point, have a nice day
It hits different when you realise the part from 0:08 to 1:12 is Marisa singing her song. It gives me chills every time I hear it
This is the song that made me never want to quit Hollow Knight. This. Very. Song. I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS SONG
Al escuchar el tema de la ciudad de lagrimas, las lagrimas salen por si solas😢
Forcing the banker to watch the singer sing
I wondered why this disappeared from my download
Would love to experience a place like this in VR
when you are happy you like this song but when you are sad you understand it
I know this is supposed to be the theme of a depressing city drenched in rain but this is what plays when you get into heaven.
343 views left until 1 million! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
If silksong is even half as good as hollow Knight then it will easily be the best game of its year
“It’s a terrible day for rain..”
City of Tears OST on loop + headphones + rain outside = A VIBE
This is were you fall in love with game
This is where I fall in love with The Consouls beautiful cover ruclips.net/video/OU41aaDx0u4/видео.html
I think the monument to the Hollow Knight is one of the best bits of environmental storytelling in this game. You've just been through three separate areas of desolation, ruin, and empty husks. Then you arrive and find the statue of the Knight. You see "Hallownest lasts eternal". And you know it didn't. You feel the hope that this people had in their sacrifice. And you've been killing their husks for hours of gameplay. It honestly didn't hit me right away, but once I learned more about Hallownest's past, that statue got so much sadder.
I listen to this song when I'm depressed and I've listened to this song for about 70 times this past week 😕
This, when I knew I wasn't playing just a game.. I was playing a masterpiece
I can hear songstress marissa singing to a crowd in city of tears 😭
this and the white lady theme are my favorite ost in the whole game, it's just so great
0:16 this melody does also appear in the soul master theme!
The Soul Master theme is a boss version of the Soul Sanctum theme, which is based on the City of Tears theme.
Similar to some melodies in green path aswell
A forgotten skyless city
but the sky cries
those who are left are alone
those who are left are hide
those who are left have been forgotten
those who are gone sing
those who are gone are left behind
those who are gone don't know they're gone
but you know
and you hear them
the ghostly voices
as the sky cries
A forgotten skyless city
but foremost in the forgotten minds is greed
their minds are gone, only greed
and a forgotten tower watched by forgotten knights
a forgotten tower
with one trapped in dreams.
This song still brings me to the verge of tears. I can close my eyes and see the beautiful city, bathed in eternal rain.
Who thought it was a piano at first, but discovered it was a harp?
Why does this song still just SCREAM nostalgia even when I’m still playing the game?
I thought the game was cool enough when I got to Greenpath, but THIS THEME right here and City of Tears as a whole made me realize this game was worth more than what I paid for. It is genuinely so great.
This song plus 3am inspiration and post nut clarity helped me attempt to stop my corn addiction, i deleted everything even close to corn. this will be day one
corn?
@@Mr5inner porn 😔
First time ever playing this absolute masterpiece. I’ve never felt so much invested in a videogame setting before , the world building is just outstanding and the soundtrack really throws you through the rubble of an ancient kingdom .
So lucky to be playing it for the first time. One of the all time greats!
El Ost más hermoso de Hollow Knigth 11/10 😔👌
Es que no puede existir un videojuego más perfecto la verdad ❤
@@raski5538 más no , pero para mi hay juegos que llegan a igualarlo aunque Hollow Knigth sige siendo uno de mis juegos favoritos
@@crist-roayt Pues diría igual, de mis juegos favs incluyo la saga Souls, pero en mi caso no he visto un juego con una estética y ambiente precioso como hollow knight, y mucho menos estilo metroidvania, además que la dificultad en juegos me gustan
Best area in the game honestly
A RUclips comment alone cannot explain the emotions this game gave me, or exactly how much I love it.
I could spend forever talking bout how much i love this piece
The music of Hollow Knight is just... beyond.
I just got to City of Tears today, and I have fallen in love with this song. The city is so dreary, yet it's beautiful at the same time, and if you judge the music based off the scenery alone, this song tells a sad story, but if you listen to the song without looking at the City of Tears, its very relaxing and peaceful.
When I saw your pfp, I was immediately filled with despair
Just started replaying it again, tears were shed when we reached here
Remember that first time you stepped out of the elevator, and felt the cold droplets of rain dampen your face, as a harp played somewhere off in the distance? It was all new, and yet, had a unique sence of nestolgia and wonder.
Silk Song will come out eventually. When it does, make the most out of it. We all know how great of a game Hollow Knight was, and still *is* and I think we all know how great Silk Song will be. Stay patient friends, it's just around the corner...
This area single-handedly solidified Hollow Knight as my favorite game ever. It’s beautiful
magical
why do i always cry when i hear this
1,2 million. Guys, you have good music choices
This song is so relaxing....
Hearing this after all the dificult of the parkour, make you fell good
I am- eternally grateful for this game, and my best friend who introduced me to it. It is one of those games that no matter how long I don’t play it, it’s always in the back of my mind.
Experiencing Hollow Knight for the first time, went in pretty blind. Only knew the first area roughly, basic abilities, simple understanding of character designs, and a refusal to look up any tips until I beat the game once through.
The City of Tears was not what I was expecting, but damn is it a good area. Everything but those damned Soul Twisters was really fun to fight against, and the music is so good.
i love how u can finder marissa ghost singing an sit and listen this is one of the reasons I think the knight isn't pure and that the only good ending is become the shade lord and sacrificing yourself and the hollow knight. defidently a selfless hero if only the knight could of been born after the radiance poor kid
This isn't rhe same without the guards grunting or one shouting 'grubbuh!!'
Hollow knight has a place in my heart man
Why does this game make me so sad? It's beautiful.
I love hearing that this song inspired the shifting mound theme from Slay the Princess!
Vocalist for both tracks here 👋 that’s awesome you connected the dots!
This song actually hurts to listen to. I remember that feeling, the first time hearing it, exploring the city of tears, and I know, now that I've finished the game, that I will never feel that feeling again.
The song that made me finally understand I was playing a masterpiece
Love listening to this while sitting outside my apartment window in the rain
im in tears right now
Christopher Larkin you are a god!
I was feeling very depressed at night and I shuffled my playlist of 310 videos and out of all of them this was the one that played first I am crying rn
Hope you are feeling okay mate
they call it city of tears for a reson
i cry every time i hear it :)
Когда я попал в город Слёз, я влюбился в эту игру
I beat the boss of soul sanctum today and just wanna say how mesmerizing city of tears was, so far my absolute favorite place in hk.
Had to do something out in the rain today, and this song just kept playing in my head on repeat despite having not played Hollow Knight in like 2 years
I love how the music changes depending on which part of the city you're in
This melody.. inspires me... It's as if I see a person in a gray raincoat wandering under the heavy rain, a boy of about 13 years old, a shadow on his face, his skin is white, and caps are sewn on the back of the hood. And he wanders through the streets of this city studying its beauty...
This place seems to have been created for my character.
Oh man lead voice just makes this theme sadder when you meet Marissa
I love that this is (somewhat) right after deepnest the most stressful dark part of the game up to that point. It so releasing when you first sit on that bench
I remember buying this game just after the covid 19 quarantine began back in 2020. While locked up I was so depressed, I didn't wanted to study or have my online lessons, I just felt so sad and empty. But playing this game, it really made feel something by its gameplay, art, and obviously the music.
I remember that time of my life as a sad and depressing one, but when this exact theme kicks in, it reminds me to the only good moments I had through that difficult era of my life.
I'm so in love with this game, it made me feel at least a little bit happy when I thought I could only be sad :')
All I can say is, thank you for reuploading these. This takes me back to when I was obsessed with this game, and now, I get to listen to them again thanks to you.
How i wish I could play this game for the first time again...
listening to this at 4 am, bit bright outside, hits different.
i just got to this level on stream. as soon as the music started, i fell in love with this game even more
