Math Machine a lot of Trance music is like that as well. Idk if you've heard the style or not, but a lot of the 8 minute long instrumental Trance is worth checking out. Andy Blueman for example
For those of you who don't know, Taswell was made for Ryan "Taswell" Davis, an editor for GameSpot and co-founder of Giant Bomb who passed away back in 2013. C418 wants to remember him for the happy memories they've been through together, hence the happy and uplifting beat on the second half. Long story short: It's a farewell song.
@@g_ab_ee Listen to Intro if you want nostalgia. Despite not being in the game, it's perfect. It's interestingly called Intro despite being the final song in the beta album.
for some reason i imagine it as someone going through a room of a family member who has passed away, and being sad remembering the good times with them, but in the second half they use it as motivation to pursue greater things
people don't give C418 enough credit - he's an incredible musician. Taswell, The End and Dead Voxel are ambient masterpieces through and through. if this weren't video game music, everybody would be hailing this album as one of the greats in ambient music and IDM.
C418's entire discography* Seriously tho. He has no bad tracks and all of gis albums are so different from each other. Every single one is unique amd beautiful. If yoy love minecraft music check out his other albums
@@adiktadoalamusika broo... exatcly the same, but I tried to build goodl looking modern houses. Looking back they accualy looked quite good, especialy for an 9 yo at that time.
@@zikulit0770 we need a music update where different music plays at different biomes. But for that, we need a biome update too, so that the biomes could be bigger and not be placed in random places. Bad explanation, I know, but I'll try again. What I meant by that is the biomes are placed in bad places, such as a snowy biome could be attached to a dessert biome, so when a song like Kyoto starts playing but you've already went to the dessert biome, that would sound weird. I hope you understand what I mean
@@FyFanNollan You mean like in terraria? Deserts are always on the oposite side of the world of snow biomes and the same side as jungle biomes You mean like that? Like the farther north you go the more cold biomes you come across And the farther south you go the more warm biomes you come across I think thats a good way to do it honestly
At 8:08 where those few notes fade out just makes me want to cry, it's eerie yet so beautiful It feels like finally letting go of something, knowing you'll never see it again and watching it fade before you
if you wanna cry some more, this song was a remembrance song. It was for a friend c418 briefly knew, Ryan "Taswell" Davis, he wanted the song to be upbeat and happy (hence the upbeat tone on the second half of this song) to remember the happiness that Ryan always brought before he passed away
its really good to start a new minecraft world when listening to this, its just so golden to listen of the the feeling this song has, its just a masterpiece.
This music is just perfect. Just the echoes, the pitching, the... I'm 99% sure the other people here are feeling the same way I am. But I feel like expressing my feelings here. It just evokes so many memories. I've done so much while the minecraft music is playing, it's all very nostalgic.
I just remember playing the tutorial world on creative with my sister. If u played the tutorial on ps4 with the mob heads hidden around in creative it’s super nostalgic
Taswell is already one of my favorite tracks in the OST, but 6:42 just hits different for me. The arpeggio, melody, and chord stabs all working together to create such a cool sound that I can't get enough of.
I'm sure C418 will never see this, but this song helped me through extremely serious depression back in winter of 2017. This song brings me back to that time, but not in a bad way. It was basically my lifeline for hope and distraction from life; the only positive thing I had going for me. I thank you, man.
*Not only is this the best track on the OST* It's one of the best ambient synth songs ever made. Those little synths that sound like worms squiggling around in the background are just gorgeous, they're so beautiful I don't even know how he made them... a total masterpiece.
@@FreshTillDeath56idk it’s up to personal opinion but the journey of this song is so beautiful when you know it was made in memory of a friend of C418 who passed away.
This song in particular is a song I heavily relate to my teenage years. My ex, who I have completely isolated myself from, we used to play Minecraft together. For a decent amount of time, it was one of the only times we talked outside of high school. I miss those simple times of playing Minecraft and not worrying about anything. Now I'm a junior in college and moved on from my childhood. This song now is probably my most nostalgic song, just because I miss simpler times in my childhood, where my family was an actual family and not just arguing all the time. I feel the whole spectrum of emotions throughout this masterpiece of a song. I just miss my childhood so much, and this song represents everything my childhood was and it just sucks it's all over. Thank you to anyone who actually read this mess of a 3:30am post. I wish you all happiness and joy ❤
stay strong men. these times are tough we have alot of thoughts going on but if you put your mind to work and make a good enviroment around yourself and once u will be 30 life will just be life nothing more nothing less and when you will have family ur only thoughts will be on ur kids and girlfriend and life will be good. sending you all the love.
Wish you happiness and joy too, it's kinda nice remembering the good times, kinda sad that they're now gone and will probably never come back but being sad about that doesn't really help. Not something to forget, but not something you should worry about a lot either. You could be creating good memories now, in a different way in a different place, and you don't have to try hard to do that, just need to kinda take it easy and not put in pressure towards yourself to do so, just kinda go towards that direction mentally, and absorb in what is going around you. I've never had a girlfriend and I'm already an adult now, the last time someone asked my age, I remember saying 12 or 14 or 16 and suddenly I'm already a grown ass man. I've never even had those memories, and I kinda am jealous of you but I'm also kinda not, it's like the question of: is being born into this world worth it, even though there is so much suffering? I'd say the answer is definitely yes. 100%. Everyone has difficulties and people go through miserable times, and it's not exactly fair to compare them, because not everybody goes through the same things, but there are good times too, everyone has things that they like, find comforting or relish in, enjoy, get entertainment for, look forward to or remember fondly, and I think that we should cherish those things even when it feels hopeless sometimes.
F*ck man, i remember when i was in 6th grade to 9th grade being a complete outcast in my class. The only times i could feel free and happy was in my creative world. I built giant buildings while this and the other creative mode songs were playing. I have such good memories from that world and they will forever be magical. Thank you C418 and Mojang for helping me go through tough times.
This song will forever remind me of the endless superflat worlds and the ability to create anything that I wanted. I could do anything. It was true creative freedom. I had the opportunity to explore whatever I wanted. This was my space to build, and it was incredible. The opening ambient section is beautiful.
I used to, speaking of superflat worlds, use that setting where you turn it to roofed forest biome without the forest and turn on the setting for loads of woodland mansions to spawn in that world and wait very slowly and patiently for them to load. Ah the memories 😊
For me this music evokes a sense of deep longing and emotional release, a heavy desire to return to a blissful ethereal world that exists beyond the boundaries of space and time. While It's entirely possible that this world only exists in my mind it somehow feels more vibrant and tangible than reality itself.
This song was actually written for a friend of C418 who passed away. It celebrates the good times and happy memories he had with him. There is definitely a longing in this track.
That world, my friend, is a world that Minecraft allows you to create. Just goes to show you one of the infinite number of magics this massive, wondrous game offers.
When you get to know the minecraft soundtrack you wish that you forget it and hear it for the first time again That's what happened to me when i listened to the whole soundtrack every day, it takes the fun and the enjoyment of these masterpieces while playing
until 3:45 i feel like I'm floating in space. After that its like you wake up to find out it was just a dream. after that you kinda just have a chill day.
this music is like an "outside of universe" Minutes/Seconds. Travel in 30 - Earth 1:31 - Solar system 2:30 -milky way 2:45 -galaxy group(local group) 3:45 -Virgo super cluster 4:14. -Local super cluster 4:43 -Floating and watching some heavenly bodies 5:18 -Watching some biggest galaxy 5:44 -Explosion of galaxies(3 glxs) 6:29 Watching some nebulae 6:59 -The universe 7:30 -Group of Universe 7:45 - Back to atom (view-in) 7:49 -Recording(data) some objects
Imagine exploring through your old worlds while this song plays. The builds are right there but they seem so distant as the memories of a time long ago fill your mind. There's no adventure like walking through that special part of Memory Lane.
stupid story time: i wish so goddamn hard i could go back though memory lane. i had 7 years worth of worlds built up, each with there own little story, with people i can no longer see again. in fact it was the first game i seen and genuinely wanted. it gave me a feeling like no other. but. as of last year all of them just disappeared like that. all of the worlds i used to play are gone. and it eats me up inside knowing i will never truly be able to walk down memory lane again. all of my old friends builds, all the secrets i had never uncovered from those worlds. shure the memories are still there but eventually they will slip away. i would pay my life to go back sorry for being a bit depressive and thank you if you actually read this crap
Its hard to understand to me how a funny build game that i loved in my childhood now i hate it because the bad and mediocre updates and useless content. When i go to creative and see the boring new content with this nostalgic music its so strange
I remember I remember when I was very young and brand new to Minecraft, around 2014. I was in a creative world flying around, and I found a little village. The very first village I had seen before. It was on a slightly slopped hillside. I started creating brightly colored wool houses for the villagers. Then I places fences around in circles, spawning plenty of cows which flowed out of little openings in the fence. By now 5:16 was playing out of the small Logitech speakers tucked behind the monitor. As the gorgeous sunset was fading, the beautiful Minecraft Moon came out with all of it's amazing stars. It felt like a cow-villager party. As if the whole world was focused on that spot. And I sat there and thought "How Amazing"
Best song ever put into Minecraft. The bass is spine chillingly epic, and not to mention that part at 5:45 that makes you feel like you're listening to some sort of rap song, but its not rap and you realize this and smile and relax. Then you realize you're bobbing your head to the sound of the arp thats playing, or tapping your foot to the kick drums or maybe even both. Then the minutes before that act as a build up to a climactic part of a movie, leaving the rap-ish part to be the part of the movie where things work out, and everything is good in the end.
I cry nearly every damn time I hear this. It is so beautiful and so personal... Among others, this piece has been on the journey of life for so long, the memories it brings and associates with are so treasured and sorely missed. A bygone era it feels in current times. I often find myself thinking about Minecraft's entire soundtrack with one recurring thought more than others which is that I will miss these sounds when I am gone. Treasured C418's soundtracks will remain nonetheless. I've played this game for over half my life so far. No regrets. I love how far I've come.
this is THE best song from the Minecraft soundtrack, hands down. used to get so hyped for hearing it back when I used to play creative mode. the chord structure is just so good. I remember playing this on a car ride at night to my grandparents' house right before Christmas, just looking out the window and it was ethereal.
Honestly before 2020 comes by, I'm just worried about my future now that I'm headed into my 20s I'm worried about my parents the most. They're growing old. I live with 2 sisters who will most likely leave the place. But I'll stay here taking care of the house and my wonderful parents. I just hope I can find a really good job so they don't have to go out there and work hard. I might leave my current job honestly to become a corrections officer, then go into the police force once I'm 21. I just hope things goes as planned. I'm unsure what my future will look like, but I hope that my parents will live in peace once I take charge. They are what I fight for, and they are who I look up to. Thanks c418 for at least letting me keep in touch of these childhood memories. My memories are the reason why I tend to see the beauty in most things, and allows me to push myself forward to do the things I **think** I can't do, into something I can do. Thank you
Late reply but I'm in the same boat more or less, I'm in the middle of the police academy when all the virus stuff kicked off back so we're on hold til things clear up. You'll get there dude, just stay focused.
2013-2015 were some of the happiest moments of my life. Even though I don't play Minecraft as much as I used to back then, I still listen to the music. It keeps me in that happy place if you know what I mean.
Joseph Arkenuni you literally can only hear the bass with headphones which is funny cuz I just figured that out. I've listened to this song so many times, and thought it was so good, but I just listened to it for the first time with headphones, and I never realized the whole bass track until now. It sounds AMAZING
Ah, the memories of flying around a sandstone superflat, dabbling with redstone and building ugly stone houses. Going after achievements because I didn't know you could use commands for that. Spawning weird things and just leaving them there to wander. Playing creative as if it was survival. Anyone else do that?
Imagine you’re on the international space station and everyone on earth dies and you just have c418 music playing while you live your last days while you watch the earth
thats scary, but the music is what keeps you going, it motivates you about your childhood memories you used to have, while your there spending your last days, just remember the good times you used to have and what good things you did.
honestly, I would laugh I mean sure but Minecraft music isn't exactly what I'll hear at the end of the world I mean imagine this: world explodes and evaporates... Minecraft music starts to playing
I love how the song starts out quiet and somewhat basic, then slowly builds up as the song goes along. Absolutely incredible. I'm fairly sure we can all agree C418 is a genius.
I hear that so much on the console version that whenever I hear it I just correlate it with the newer more boring versions of Minecraft, where you sit in creative and place blocks endlessly to try and find something fun to do. I’m sorry but that’s just me.
Everytime I hear it I think of 2012-13 when all of my friends would hop on together and make massive creative builds together. I haven't talked or seen any of these people online in 5 years.
Fun Fact: 0:00 to 3:44 contains a part of C418's song "Imposter Syndrome", just slowed down and looped. You can even hear the piano keys softly in the background.
wow I used to play on my friends creative server back in early 2014 and I distinctively remember the creative soundtrack from that Nowadays I usually play a soundcloud playlist in the background instead of listening to minecrafts soundtrack sure is nice to come back to this
There is a very strong reason why I love this song. This song would often play whenever I was building rollercoasters and ever since I looked at Xbox 360/Xbox One edition, I couldn't help but look at the rails a different way ever since. You know C418 did a good job when he changes your perspective on objects simply due to his music. And plus, it is hard to get the image of all the things I have created. I wish I could find all the world seeds so I could rewind and go back in time to find out, what really was going on inside that innocent mind of mine.
I honestly love the first half of this song just as much as the second. Its so weird and mysterious (and a lil bit frightening), and it contrasts so well with the second half. It's definitely what makes this song unique.
the first half I think was to reflect on the pain of the passing of C418's friend. Then, as time went on, he began to heal. Soon enough, he's able to reflect on the good parts of their life that they shared, and not the loss of them. I think that's where the story is headed, I mean, C418 himself said that this song was for this guy named Taswell.
Everytime I listen to this, I feel like I'm flying through the space or even traveling across many places like a wandering ghost... Thanks for this great soundtrack, Daniel (C418) and for all those memories this game gave me...
This music makes me build faster like buildings and others. Im tired to work to my city but this music is nice. Favorite music: 1.Taswell 2.Dreiton 3.Biome Fest 4.Aria Math
Diego Maldonado Alpha is a beautiful piece of music, and is very underrated! However, this just brings back more memories of me building things with my friends!
Imagine… You hear this song as you walk along a mountain hiking trail, and as you reach the climax of the song, you reach the summit… basked in sunlight, you overlook the most gorgeous landscape you’ve ever seen.
I listened to this song and album about a dozen times last summer while hiking all throughout the alps. It was something out of a dream. I still get goosebumps thinking about it
Honestly the BEST minecraft creative song in my books. This song makes me feel like Im in a void of freedom, same way I do when Im playing minecraft creative, its like this song drifts you away. First time I heard this, I saw minecraft history flash before my eyes... Just kidding, made me think about the progress Minecraft has made over 2 years and its been fanatical, great job Minecraft community and the maker of this amazing song.
This song breathes life. it is your oxygen. without it, nobody dares to breath or live. thank you for this stunning masterpiece of nostalgic magical rythm, C418. Ive played this dang beautiful game since i was 4/2 and it never fails. This is magic.
@@Toughfey Wow. That was the most outstandingly wretched, awful, nonsensical, unnecessary joke I have ever had the displeasure to see in the great amount of time I've spent on planet Earth.
*Minecraft Volume Beta:* This is the second part to the official soundtrack to the most popular video game in recent history. Critics like to compare the style of my album to Erik Satie, Roedelius, and Brian Eno. Aphex Twin also once said I stole his style. The big difference of Volume Beta is that the tone is both more positive and at times very dark. Some of the songs even have percussion, which is something that was a complete rarity with Volume Alpha. For example “Taswell” or “Aria Math”. A bunch of the songs are VERY long. “Alpha”, being 10 minutes, while “The End” clocks in at 15 minutes. And a lot of the “creative mode” songs are at least around 8 minutes in length. Additionally, this soundtrack contains the collectible records, which are little vinyl songs you can find in Minecraft, the game. With the exception of Cat. That song you can find on the previous soundtrack, Volume Alpha. “Ki,” like “Key,” on the previous album is an introduction to the album. But this time it’s not quiet, somber and welcoming, but dark and foreboding. “Alpha” is a medley of past songs. It acts as the score that plays when you “beat” Minecraft, but it also acts as a celebration of past music from Volume Alpha. “Blind Spots” is the first song I wrote with the clear intention of having a unique soundtrack for Minecraft’s “creative mode”. I tried to create a piece that doesn’t particularly change much, but keeps reiterating on itself, like a constant remixing of its core theme. As the piece ends, it becomes very melancholic and solemn, but quickly returns to being positive. Things end, but that’s not bad. “Moog City 2” is a recreation of “Moog City” from Minecraft Alpha. However this time I actually did use Moog synthesisers, along a lot of other synths that I acquired over the course of making this album. “Biome Fest” is a song that I created when Minecraft Alpha was done, but I felt it had no place anywhere in the game, until the creative mode was sort of reintroduced to the game. It’s one of my favourite songs I’ve ever created. I do love minimalism and achieving tones with just very few notes, and I think this song does that extremely well. “Haunt Muskie”, if I remember correctly, an anagram for Hatsune Miku. Not entirely sure why anymore, but there you go. This song is very nostalgic for me, and I didn’t expect anyone to like it but just me. It turns out it is a little bit popular though. There was this fairly old video game I used to like. Some game where you solve puzzles of broken rollercoasters you have to fix. The music wasn’t particularly good, but the emotion it carried was something I always remembered. “Haunt Muskie” is what I remember that music to be. “Warmth” plays in the game’s hell. Or as it is called in Minecraft, “Nether”. This song tries to play with the idea that even hell isn’t all bad, and there’s good things to be found. But it’s still a very harsh environment. “Aria Math” is a song full of Pan Drums and old synthesisers rhythmically dancing to ping pong delays. It’s also one of the creative mode songs. I wrote it with the beauty of the more extreme creations in Minecraft. Gigantic statues, entire cities, paintings, people, all recreated in this game. It’s awe inspiring, and that’s what I wanted to kind of symbolise. Not sure if I succeeded? “Taswell” is a farewell to a friend I only met for a little bit, but they passed away faster than anyone could have imagined. It was shocking, but I didn’t want to remember them for their death, but the happiness they showed every day of their life. “Beginning 2” is just like “Beginning” on Alpha, perhaps the end to the album, or just the beginning. This album is now in the progress of changing tone rapidly, but not before going to “The End.” “Dreiton” is a remembrance of the times when I wrote albums like Zweitonegoismus. When I was still scared to embrace minimalism and simplicity in music. When I was still keen on making my music as crazy and varied as possible. Turns out there was no reason to have such a fear. And with “Dreiton”, the are essentially only two sections on a song that clocks in at over 8 minutes. I hope I accomplished to have repetition that nonetheless isn’t boring in any way. Like all the other “creative mode” songs, this one is also about the awe of the creativity to be found in Minecraft. At minute 7, the song abruptly builds up to nothing and fades away. Sometimes creativity doesn’t need to have a reason. Sometimes you just build. “The End” is a 15 minute piece for the namesake in Minecraft, a place called “The End”, a dark and sinister place full of creepy things called Endermen. Oh, and there’s a dragon. Since The End is also the final stage the player has to go to to “beat” the game, this piece contains a lot of references to past songs. If you listen closely, you can essentially hear most of Volume Alpha embedded within. After building up the drone, the song breaks, as if some sort of audio device couldn’t handle it anymore. Lastly you hear someone fixing it, and it starts from the beginning. At least in the game. On the album we then go to… “Chirp”, which is where we switch to the records you can find in Minecraft as collectibles. Until we get to… “Intro,” an improv piece to say goodbye. Or hello? I released this album in late 2013 when I was about to be doing a gig in Mexico. Every time I think about this album, I get nostalgic about Mexico and how wildly different it is from the life I know from Germany or Canada. Though now that I think about it, I feel like Volume Alpha might be a love record to Europe, while Beta is dedicated to America and Asia. This might sound like gibberish to you, but to me it’s kind of a personal internalized opinion. If you want to give it a listen, I embedded a little player on this page, for your convenience. from c418.org/albums/minecraft-volume-beta/
I’ve heard this song hundreds of times. But for some reason, the other day while playing Minecraft, I got crazy goosebumps and started to tear up while listening to this. I don’t know why but it was the first time I really payed more attention to this song than what I was doing. So now this is genuinely one of, if not, my favorite song in Minecraft.
It’s just so like… I don’t know how to describe the level of warmth and comfort this piece gives me, but it fills me with the urge to look out towards a horizon and wonder. It makes you think about life, and the world, and how beautiful everything really is.
The way it gradually builds, begins to peak at 7:14 and fully gets to the top at 7:36 is so amazing, also the fade out bits at the end at 7:58 and 8:08 are so nostalgic, but in a happy way
Minecraft was a thing from my childhood, all the way up to where I currently am. I'm still young, but man, can I ever forget the finest of memories of me playing around with friends and attempting to be creative. Nowadays, I look back, and wonder what in the world happened to me? I'm back at it again, and I'm trying to get those happy memories once more, but I sure miss those days. This song reflects on all that. I do admit, the beggining is quite somber and a bit ambient, which is proceeded by a wave of happiness in such delight. The space-like tone gives it more life, and the ending finishes the job well. Big thanks to C418 for making such nostalgic tracks, filled with life & mystery. Also, big thanks to the creators of such game that inspired many, and led out to some of the best creations I've seen in video game history! ~YoshiStache
F, man. F. I lost all my friends on a long lost server. Was closed without warning because I had a week long internet blackout. Didn't even say goodbye, let alone getting the discords and WhatsApps. Fml
@Trollerlel009 Thank you. Good to know someone understands. Also that was in my at home age, so they were the only friends I had and I was on depressive states and they helped me. I have bipolar disorder diagnosed to give you more context
When the track sound plays, it reminds me of back when I had my main superflat world. It was the first superflat world I had ever made. I spawned inside two villages that were so close that they had merged into one huge village with two wells and two blacksmiths. I built a wall around it, claimed the Library to myself, lit the town with torches, and spawned iron golems. I built scale models of mob heads and turned them into houses, built huge statues of creepers filled with tnt and blew them up, made redstone contraptions, and command blocks just to experiment with. Once, I made a slime so big that it crashed my game when it jumped. The most memorable thing, though, was when I built my haunted mansion outside of the town wall. When I had just finished, I walked outside. The sun was rising, and the minecart tracks part of this song played.
The first 3 minutes and 40 seconds of the song is like a flashback of my life and my best friends reflecting on how fun being a kid used to be, then at @3:45 is a reflection of how I see things now.
For me this helps a lot for doing homework as well (and my short attention span in doing homework) because this also plays in creative where you are also "working".
From the first block in your world, to the final jump through the end portal, you have come far. From 2011 - to 2023, Minecraft has come far. And to the end of the century, this music will remind us of the countless hours, with friends, building together, fighting together, playing, together.

True
I love the way that this song doesn't really repeat any beats throughout the song. It's as if the song is slowly evolving over the span of 8 minutes.
Math Machine a lot of Trance music is like that as well. Idk if you've heard the style or not, but a lot of the 8 minute long instrumental Trance is worth checking out. Andy Blueman for example
So true
What about 3:59 ?
@@that_one_dude_3541 It's got the same groove repeating, but another layer is added onto it every so often.
Kind of like a builder's palate being the same but his style changing.
For those of you who don't know, Taswell was made for Ryan "Taswell" Davis, an editor for GameSpot and co-founder of Giant Bomb who passed away back in 2013.
C418 wants to remember him for the happy memories they've been through together, hence the happy and uplifting beat on the second half.
Long story short: It's a farewell song.
atleast it's otherworldy and nice, a true farewell
My favorites are:
1. Aria Math
2. Taswell
3. Sweden
not only do they sound good, they just give me pure nostalgia.
@@g_ab_ee Listen to Intro if you want nostalgia. Despite not being in the game, it's perfect. It's interestingly called Intro despite being the final song in the beta album.
@@PigNe0 it actually is in the game.
I used to be a huge GB guy and had no idea this song was about Ryan. Wow. RIP.
I read this from another comment:
The first half of Taswell is a funeral.
The 2nd half is a celebration of life.
hmmn I do see that. but to me It brings the slight limitations of minecraft to mind for me to some reason
2nd half should be a person that enjoys staying in heaven
This is precisely it.
Nah man this is the ocean theme.
for some reason i imagine it as someone going through a room of a family member who has passed away, and being sad remembering the good times with them, but in the second half they use it as motivation to pursue greater things
Brings stress level from 100 to 0
Brings nostalgia level from 0 to 1000

It would be kinda weird to hear taswell while you're walking across a plains biome.
@@zikulit0770 we need a music update where different music plays at different biomes. But for that, we need a biome update too, so that the biomes could be bigger and not be placed in random places. Bad explanation, I know, but I'll try again. What I meant by that is the biomes are placed in bad places, such as a snowy biome could be attached to a dessert biome, so when a song like Kyoto starts playing but you've already went to the dessert biome, that would sound weird.

This song in particular is a song I heavily relate to my teenage years. My ex, who I have completely isolated myself from, we used to play Minecraft together. For a decent amount of time, it was one of the only times we talked outside of high school. I miss those simple times of playing Minecraft and not worrying about anything. Now I'm a junior in college and moved on from my childhood. This song now is probably my most nostalgic song, just because I miss simpler times in my childhood, where my family was an actual family and not just arguing all the time. I feel the whole spectrum of emotions throughout this masterpiece of a song. I just miss my childhood so much, and this song represents everything my childhood was and it just sucks it's all over. Thank you to anyone who actually read this mess of a 3:30am post. I wish you all happiness and joy ❤
stay strong men. these times are tough we have alot of thoughts going on but if you put your mind to work and make a good enviroment around yourself and once u will be 30 life will just be life nothing more nothing less and when you will have family ur only thoughts will be on ur kids and girlfriend and life will be good. sending you all the love.
@@Driven_and_Determined You too man 😎
@@Driven_and_Determined all life is tough
Does not have to be
Wish you happiness and joy too, it's kinda nice remembering the good times, kinda sad that they're now gone and will probably never come back but being sad about that doesn't really help. Not something to forget, but not something you should worry about a lot either. You could be creating good memories now, in a different way in a different place, and you don't have to try hard to do that, just need to kinda take it easy and not put in pressure towards yourself to do so, just kinda go towards that direction mentally, and absorb in what is going around you. I've never had a girlfriend and I'm already an adult now, the last time someone asked my age, I remember saying 12 or 14 or 16 and suddenly I'm already a grown ass man. I've never even had those memories, and I kinda am jealous of you but I'm also kinda not, it's like the question of: is being born into this world worth it, even though there is so much suffering? I'd say the answer is definitely yes. 100%. Everyone has difficulties and people go through miserable times, and it's not exactly fair to compare them, because not everybody goes through the same things, but there are good times too, everyone has things that they like, find comforting or relish in, enjoy, get entertainment for, look forward to or remember fondly, and I think that we should cherish those things even when it feels hopeless sometimes.
F*ck man, i remember when i was in 6th grade to 9th grade being a complete outcast in my class. The only times i could feel free and happy was in my creative world. I built giant buildings while this and the other creative mode songs were playing. I have such good memories from that world and they will forever be magical. Thank you C418 and Mojang for helping me go through tough times.

For me this music evokes a sense of deep longing and emotional release, a heavy desire to return to a blissful ethereal world that exists beyond the boundaries of space and time. While It's entirely possible that this world only exists in my mind it somehow feels more vibrant and tangible than reality itself.
This song was actually written for a friend of C418 who passed away. It celebrates the good times and happy memories he had with him. There is definitely a longing in this track.
That world, my friend, is a world that Minecraft allows you to create. Just goes to show you one of the infinite number of magics this massive, wondrous game offers.

Imagine exploring through your old worlds while this song plays. The builds are right there but they seem so distant as the memories of a time long ago fill your mind. There's no adventure like walking through that special part of Memory Lane.
stupid story time:
i wish so goddamn hard i could go back though memory lane. i had 7 years worth of worlds built up, each with there own little story, with people i can no longer see again. in fact it was the first game i seen and genuinely wanted. it gave me a feeling like no other. but. as of last year all of them just disappeared like that. all of the worlds i used to play are gone. and it eats me up inside knowing i will never truly be able to walk down memory lane again. all of my old friends builds, all the secrets i had never uncovered from those worlds. shure the memories are still there but eventually they will slip away. i would pay my life to go back

I remember
I remember when I was very young and brand new to Minecraft, around 2014. I was in a creative world flying around, and I found a little village. The very first village I had seen before. It was on a slightly slopped hillside. I started creating brightly colored wool houses for the villagers. Then I places fences around in circles, spawning plenty of cows which flowed out of little openings in the fence. By now 5:16 was playing out of the small Logitech speakers tucked behind the monitor. As the gorgeous sunset was fading, the beautiful Minecraft Moon came out with all of it's amazing stars. It felt like a cow-villager party. As if the whole world was focused on that spot.
And I sat there and thought
"How Amazing"
That is almost exactly the same thing i did. Wow
So beautiful
But if I found this village I'd pretty much burn it down x)
i started playing in 2014 too!
“How amazing”

Best song ever put into Minecraft. The bass is spine chillingly epic, and not to mention that part at 5:45 that makes you feel like you're listening to some sort of rap song, but its not rap and you realize this and smile and relax. Then you realize you're bobbing your head to the sound of the arp thats playing, or tapping your foot to the kick drums or maybe even both. Then the minutes before that act as a build up to a climactic part of a movie, leaving the rap-ish part to be the part of the movie where things work out, and everything is good in the end.

I cry nearly every damn time I hear this. It is so beautiful and so personal... Among others, this piece has been on the journey of life for so long, the memories it brings and associates with are so treasured and sorely missed. A bygone era it feels in current times.
I often find myself thinking about Minecraft's entire soundtrack with one recurring thought more than others which is that I will miss these sounds when I am gone. Treasured C418's soundtracks will remain nonetheless. I've played this game for over half my life so far. No regrets. I love how far I've come.
this is THE best song from the Minecraft soundtrack, hands down. used to get so hyped for hearing it back when I used to play creative mode. the chord structure is just so good. I remember playing this on a car ride at night to my grandparents' house right before Christmas, just looking out the window and it was ethereal.
Honestly before 2020 comes by, I'm just worried about my future now that I'm headed into my 20s I'm worried about my parents the most. They're growing old. I live with 2 sisters who will most likely leave the place. But I'll stay here taking care of the house and my wonderful parents. I just hope I can find a really good job so they don't have to go out there and work hard. I might leave my current job honestly to become a corrections officer, then go into the police force once I'm 21. I just hope things goes as planned. I'm unsure what my future will look like, but I hope that my parents will live in peace once I take charge. They are what I fight for, and they are who I look up to. Thanks c418 for at least letting me keep in touch of these childhood memories. My memories are the reason why I tend to see the beauty in most things, and allows me to push myself forward to do the things I **think** I can't do, into something I can do. Thank you

There is a very strong reason why I love this song. This song would often play whenever I was building rollercoasters and ever since I looked at Xbox 360/Xbox One edition, I couldn't help but look at the rails a different way ever since. You know C418 did a good job when he changes your perspective on objects simply due to his music. And plus, it is hard to get the image of all the things I have created. I wish I could find all the world seeds so I could rewind and go back in time to find out, what really was going on inside that innocent mind of mine.

I honestly love the first half of this song just as much as the second. Its so weird and mysterious (and a lil bit frightening), and it contrasts so well with the second half. It's definitely what makes this song unique.
It reminds me of the machinarium soundtrack
AYO ROACHDOGGJR!
First half is my favorite
the first half I think was to reflect on the pain of the passing of C418's friend. Then, as time went on, he began to heal. Soon enough, he's able to reflect on the good parts of their life that they shared, and not the loss of them. I think that's where the story is headed, I mean, C418 himself said that this song was for this guy named Taswell.

Just kidding, made me think about the progress Minecraft has made over 2 years and its been fanatical, great job Minecraft community and the maker of this amazing song.
Someone could actually use c418's music as therapy for ptsd and anxiety.
Unless the PTSD is minecraft-related

This song breathes life. it is your oxygen. without it, nobody dares to breath or live. thank you for this stunning masterpiece of nostalgic magical rythm, C418. Ive played this dang beautiful game since i was 4/2 and it never fails. This is magic.
my favorite C418 song is ALL OF THEM!
Morgan Ash but then it wouldn’t be a single song. If you say a favourite, then follow the fact that you didn’t say “songs are” and pick a song.

*Legends say* that this is the *best song to ever exist*
*Minecraft Volume Beta:*
This is the second part to the official soundtrack to the most popular video game in recent history. Critics like to compare the style of my album to Erik Satie, Roedelius, and Brian Eno. Aphex Twin also once said I stole his style.
The big difference of Volume Beta is that the tone is both more positive and at times very dark. Some of the songs even have percussion, which is something that was a complete rarity with Volume Alpha. For example “Taswell” or “Aria Math”.
A bunch of the songs are VERY long.
“Alpha”, being 10 minutes, while “The End” clocks in at 15 minutes. And a lot of the “creative mode” songs are at least around 8 minutes in length.
Additionally, this soundtrack contains the collectible records, which are little vinyl songs you can find in Minecraft, the game. With the exception of Cat. That song you can find on the previous soundtrack, Volume Alpha.
“Ki,” like “Key,” on the previous album is an introduction to the album. But this time it’s not quiet, somber and welcoming, but dark and foreboding.
“Alpha” is a medley of past songs. It acts as the score that plays when you “beat” Minecraft, but it also acts as a celebration of past music from Volume Alpha.
“Blind Spots” is the first song I wrote with the clear intention of having a unique soundtrack for Minecraft’s “creative mode”. I tried to create a piece that doesn’t particularly change much, but keeps reiterating on itself, like a constant remixing of its core theme. As the piece ends, it becomes very melancholic and solemn, but quickly returns to being positive. Things end, but that’s not bad.
“Moog City 2” is a recreation of “Moog City” from Minecraft Alpha. However this time I actually did use Moog synthesisers, along a lot of other synths that I acquired over the course of making this album.
“Biome Fest” is a song that I created when Minecraft Alpha was done, but I felt it had no place anywhere in the game, until the creative mode was sort of reintroduced to the game. It’s one of my favourite songs I’ve ever created. I do love minimalism and achieving tones with just very few notes, and I think this song does that extremely well.
“Haunt Muskie”, if I remember correctly, an anagram for Hatsune Miku. Not entirely sure why anymore, but there you go. This song is very nostalgic for me, and I didn’t expect anyone to like it but just me. It turns out it is a little bit popular though. There was this fairly old video game I used to like. Some game where you solve puzzles of broken rollercoasters you have to fix. The music wasn’t particularly good, but the emotion it carried was something I always remembered. “Haunt Muskie” is what I remember that music to be.
“Warmth” plays in the game’s hell. Or as it is called in Minecraft, “Nether”. This song tries to play with the idea that even hell isn’t all bad, and there’s good things to be found. But it’s still a very harsh environment.
“Aria Math” is a song full of Pan Drums and old synthesisers rhythmically dancing to ping pong delays. It’s also one of the creative mode songs. I wrote it with the beauty of the more extreme creations in Minecraft. Gigantic statues, entire cities, paintings, people, all recreated in this game. It’s awe inspiring, and that’s what I wanted to kind of symbolise. Not sure if I succeeded?
“Taswell” is a farewell to a friend I only met for a little bit, but they passed away faster than anyone could have imagined. It was shocking, but I didn’t want to remember them for their death, but the happiness they showed every day of their life.
“Beginning 2” is just like “Beginning” on Alpha, perhaps the end to the album, or just the beginning. This album is now in the progress of changing tone rapidly, but not before going to “The End.”
“Dreiton” is a remembrance of the times when I wrote albums like Zweitonegoismus. When I was still scared to embrace minimalism and simplicity in music. When I was still keen on making my music as crazy and varied as possible. Turns out there was no reason to have such a fear. And with “Dreiton”, the are essentially only two sections on a song that clocks in at over 8 minutes. I hope I accomplished to have repetition that nonetheless isn’t boring in any way. Like all the other “creative mode” songs, this one is also about the awe of the creativity to be found in Minecraft. At minute 7, the song abruptly builds up to nothing and fades away. Sometimes creativity doesn’t need to have a reason. Sometimes you just build.
“The End” is a 15 minute piece for the namesake in Minecraft, a place called “The End”, a dark and sinister place full of creepy things called Endermen. Oh, and there’s a dragon. Since The End is also the final stage the player has to go to to “beat” the game, this piece contains a lot of references to past songs. If you listen closely, you can essentially hear most of Volume Alpha embedded within. After building up the drone, the song breaks, as if some sort of audio device couldn’t handle it anymore. Lastly you hear someone fixing it, and it starts from the beginning. At least in the game. On the album we then go to…
“Chirp”, which is where we switch to the records you can find in Minecraft as collectibles. Until we get to…
“Intro,” an improv piece to say goodbye. Or hello?
I released this album in late 2013 when I was about to be doing a gig in Mexico. Every time I think about this album, I get nostalgic about Mexico and how wildly different it is from the life I know from Germany or Canada. Though now that I think about it, I feel like Volume Alpha might be a love record to Europe, while Beta is dedicated to America and Asia. This might sound like gibberish to you, but to me it’s kind of a personal internalized opinion.
If you want to give it a listen, I embedded a little player on this page, for your convenience.

Have you every played Sega Marine fishing? They have a aquarium and that part reminds me of the music used in the aquarium.
I’ve heard this song hundreds of times. But for some reason, the other day while playing Minecraft, I got crazy goosebumps and started to tear up while listening to this. I don’t know why but it was the first time I really payed more attention to this song than what I was doing. So now this is genuinely one of, if not, my favorite song in Minecraft.
I love this song for the same reasons too. its just so good and probably the best in the soundtrack for me
It’s just so like… I don’t know how to describe the level of warmth and comfort this piece gives me, but it fills me with the urge to look out towards a horizon and wonder. It makes you think about life, and the world, and how beautiful everything really is.
This is my personal music favourite "Taswell" to keep me build and build in this game when playing the music as well.
yeah
The way it gradually builds, begins to peak at 7:14 and fully gets to the top at 7:36 is so amazing, also the fade out bits at the end at 7:58 and 8:08 are so nostalgic, but in a happy way
Minecraft was a thing from my childhood, all the way up to where I currently am. I'm still young, but man, can I ever forget the finest of memories of me playing around with friends and attempting to be creative.
Nowadays, I look back, and wonder what in the world happened to me? I'm back at it again, and I'm trying to get those happy memories once more, but I sure miss those days.
This song reflects on all that. I do admit, the beggining is quite somber and a bit ambient, which is proceeded by a wave of happiness in such delight. The space-like tone gives it more life, and the ending finishes the job well.
Big thanks to C418 for making such nostalgic tracks, filled with life & mystery. Also, big thanks to the creators of such game that inspired many, and led out to some of the best creations I've seen in video game history!

F, man. F.
I lost all my friends on a long lost server. Was closed without warning because I had a week long internet blackout. Didn't even say goodbye, let alone getting the discords and WhatsApps. Fml
@Trollerlel009 Thank you. Good to know someone understands. Also that was in my at home age, so they were the only friends I had and I was on depressive states and they helped me.
I have bipolar disorder diagnosed to give you more context
I've been looking for this song for YEARS. Hearing the 5:00 part made me so happy right now.
Same thing with living mice
When the track sound plays, it reminds me of back when I had my main superflat world.
It was the first superflat world I had ever made. I spawned inside two villages that were so close that they had merged into one huge village with two wells and two blacksmiths.
I built a wall around it, claimed the Library to myself, lit the town with torches, and spawned iron golems. I built scale models of mob heads and turned them into houses, built huge statues of creepers filled with tnt and blew them up, made redstone contraptions, and command blocks just to experiment with. Once, I made a slime so big that it crashed my game when it jumped.
The most memorable thing, though, was when I built my haunted mansion outside of the town wall. When I had just finished, I walked outside. The sun was rising, and the minecart tracks part of this song played.
I understand how u feel
when I first played I didn't know superflat existed lol
The first 3 minutes and 40 seconds of the song is like a flashback of my life and my best friends reflecting on how fun being a kid used to be, then at @3:45 is a reflection of how I see things now.
Exactly how I see it aswell
this song made me burst into tears because of old memories..
This song made me burst into tears because of the nostalgia of 2013 (the golden age of the mc servers)

i played on a old world
and this gave me nostalgia too.. and my brother used to play on minecraft.. but he plays on roblox.
The point is most of popular awesome 2013 servers aren't good anymore. And MC isn't good anymore
FaZe Equator
why are the servers not good anymore.?
Hivemc, the nexus, mcgamer, uberminecraft, swifterfanhub, lichcraft, hypixel, and ShotBow aren't good anymore. Almost every server
3:45 My favorite Part
Listening to this song while doing homework makes me SOOO relaxed.
+Mr2010forgeben same.
and my mom disrupts and thinking that it does not help
For me this helps a lot for doing homework as well (and my short attention span in doing homework) because this also plays in creative where you are also "working".
i finally (re)bought minecraft after 5 years of memories
nostalgia can push the strongest men to tears, you know?
Happy 10 years!
This song always makes me want to cry
From the first block in your world, to the final jump through the end portal, you have come far.
From 2011 - to 2023, Minecraft has come far.
And to the end of the century, this music will remind us of the countless hours, with friends, building together, fighting together,
playing, together.
2009
Yes
7:30 is when nostalgia comes from
Still the best song in Minecraft in my opinion. Nothing will ever top this.
I feel less alone in so far as considering this the best song in the Minecraft soundtrack. 😁
For me its:
1-blind spots
2-taswell
3-dreition

The way this song evolves from four minutes of weird noises to a nice pleasant tune to absolute chaos is genius. It’s like three songs in one.
the fact that the song takes 4 minutes to even pick up and be somewhat not nonsense says a lot about the drugs C418 was on when this trash was made.
