This is actually quite beautiful. When I listen to this, I can imagine myself just walking down dark ally's while the street lights shine crimson orange. It's like I can understand the atmosphere of this theme. Confusion & Memories.
Silent Hill 2 is the best game ever made in my opinion and always will be, it truly is a masterpiece. No other game has resonated with me as much as this, the the story is profound and left me thinking for hours on end resulting in my multiple returns to Silent Hill over the years. The soundtrack is almost ethereal it takes me away my mind wonders when ever I hear it. Nothing will ever beat Silent Hill 2 if I was told I could only ever play one game for the rest of my life... this would be it.
How do you all interpret Silent Hill? I personally think that Silent Hill as a town is actually fine, no monsters, decay etc. hence this is what Laura sees and why she reacts in a puzzled manner when James talks about the town. The reason why the town seems so dated cars etc. Is because this is how James remembers it from when he visited, and that’s why everything seems so decayed and rusted as it’s been frozen in a way for many years, just a lingering memory in James mind, and due to his mental state he can’t recall the details exactly. The reason why I believe Silent Hill is all an illusion, is because there would be some kind of government intervention if it was real, all roads destroyed etc. This is why I’d rule out possibility’s of magic and occultism, and say it isn’t a physical manifestation. I just feel like James, Eddie, Angela are all suffering from severe forms of varying mental health disorders (bipolar, ptsd, paranoid schizophrenia, npd) and this is jading their perspectives on the boundaries of reality. The monsters could be related to the proverbial saying “fighting your demons”, hence why all monsters bear a relation and Resemblance to something manifested in James’s subconscious. That’s my two cents, I know it kind of takes the magic a way from the game. But in my opinion this interpretation is more frightening as it’s real. These are real traumas that are being dealt with by the characters. And to related back to my above post, I feel this is why the game is resonated with me, as I suffer from mental health issues myself. So I know what it’s like to not be able to think clearly and to have a warped perspective.
TheDuppyMan abit late but while I don’t really agree with it being the best game (half life 2 is the best game for me imo) I can see why people like silent hill a lot, I haven’t played it tho but I still get nightmares from it in the music. Silent hill is a masterpiece.
You can totally lose yourself in this music and the fog you are in in the game when this music plays. This is so soothing and relaxing! Absolutely timeless!
@@nickkotsify it's like making difference between robbers, they all wear a mask and they all want the same from you.. is there a point to comparing them?
@hostile blueberry Except for the fact that McDonalds seems to be removing Ronald from their brand image, at least here in the west. Although, Ronald still appears in foreign McDonalds buildings, from what i can tell. But anyways, Pyramid Head may be Iconic to the series, but it's important to remember that Pyramid Head had a very specific purpose behind him. Transplanting him into another game without also transplanting the reason for him to be there (Punishing James in SH2) would just be lazy. And it's not enough to retroactively change the reason for him to be there, like saying "Pyramid Head's always been there, he wasn't just for James" would be disingenuous, out of the original four, Pyramid Head only appears in SH2, so it's clear that Pyramid Head was specifically for James.
@@blubercharge19 On the one hand, while PH was James' tormentor, he was also based off of an actual part of the town's history, so it's not like James has a monopoly on him or that the town couldn't reuse that "asset" elsewhere. On the other hand, you're correct in that the _reason_ PH was in SH2 was very specific, and he would have to have a very good reason to appear in other games. The only reason he was in the movie and Homecoming was just to capitalize on his "iconicness" so they don't qualify. He _could_ have been re-used well, he just wasn't. To be honest though, if I were designing an SH game, I wouldn't have bothered to re-use him. I don't care for him that much, and everything about him either only makes sense with James (brutalizing other monsters) or could easily be done with a different monster design (his sense of oppression and unstoppability).
@@EbonyManta The reason i think that pyramid head was for James specifically was because we can't really tell how much of silent hill was real and how much was part of James' personal hell. It could maybe be possible that pyramid head existed in the town before, but like i said, we only see him in SH2, none of the other original 4 games have him in it. And the fact that he's in SH2 specifically is the trick here, because in SH2 it's made very clear that James is an unreliable narrator. Not only is he leaving out (or forgetting) certain important details, like what happened to his wife, but it's also made clear that what he's seeing might not even be real, and since James is the protagonist, his eyes are our eyes, and what we see is what he sees, so our vision is unreliable, too. So it's a bit fuzzy whether Pyramid Head is real or not, but personally i like to imagine he's fake.
+Darkest Abstract It makes me think about my past even though I officially played it like 3 years ago. Which is a mind fuck. All of silent hill is a mind fuck
All the times I could have gotten out there I didn't .and when I did it was a bad of me to do . the silents in me could be heard . although it was a dilusion to think I was getting the cold shoulder from everyone . Forgotten and out of mind . The only time I appear is when there probably watching a game with each other. half time chat shit .
For a long time that I not listened to a song of this incredible OST. To go back to it, those emotions that I felt during the dark descent from James Sunderland made the depths of his own mind, have returned to me inside like a whip. A dark history, which will always be etched in my memory... James Sunderland... Silent Hill...

WallStreetBlues 'Silent Hill' is a concrete metaphor for James' psychological struggle to come to terms with what he did. Pyramid Head is the guilt, which is why James couldn't 'kill' him until after he fully acknowledged and accepted what he did. Maria represents the woman James had an affair with in real life while his wife, Mary, was dying; she looks like Mary because he wished Mary could have been her. Eddie is a manifestation of James' frustration - the thing you get when you mix anxiety, fear, and anger. Laura represents the fleeing genuine innocence that James wished he had; this innocence is why she never saw the monsters that haunted James. Each character represents a part of James' psychological introspective journey into his own mind. Silent Hill is a real place that he once had been before, but the Silent Hill you see when you play the game is just in James' head.
Love this interpretation as I am a sufferer of schizo affective disorder an these games along with resident evil have helped me a lot through the years and gave me a real brain exercise
Yeah, I think Silent Hill is kind of like Purgatory and James, Angela and Eddie are suffering for their sins. All three of them see the town differently. Angela sees everything covered in flames and with sexual imagery, Eddie sees people mocking him and dead bodies, and James sees what we see. Laura doesn't see any monsters because she is pure. All four of them were drawn to the town, though. So that could mean that it is a physical place in the world but that it manifests itself differently for different people. You should search for it in the wikis, though. People put all sorts of information there, including sources like Book of Lost Memories. There's probably very interesting things written there about this topic.
You're completely wrong - Silent Hill is nothing but MAGICK and occultism. Everything we have been told about our Universe is a lie ; The imagination is more real than our physical world because everything has to first exist mentally before it can exist in our physical world which is just like a stage. The brain is just a cloak for our non physical mind which is attached to our soul. The Astral Plane is the subconscious mind ( the right side of brain which is 99% more powerful than the left conscious rational side ) and constitutes the overlapping area of the imagination, thoughts, intuition, dreams, feelings etc. Every time we dream or imagine we are travelling into a real world ( attached to our physical body by the umbilical cord of our soul ) where demons also live. The Astral plane is interlinked to planets, which are self illuminating lights of plasma, the homes of demons, which travel through 1 of 4 main elements ; air/fire/earth/water ( the periodic table of elements are just the 4 REAL Elements derivatives ) and manifest behind the static rain of our vision into our physical world. Google is satan, the demons can access proxy. They have always been there, right in front of us, but we never noticed ; obama, donald trump, melanie and ivanka trump, the queen, david cameron, boris johnson, vladimir putin, hilary clinton, angelina jolie, miley cirus, jim carey, banking elitist: evelyn rothschilds - who has funded both sides of every war since napolean, the old lady at the store who cursed you out, mark zuckerbeg are all real living breathing demons made of plasma, as they can take on any form as inter-dimensional shape shifting entities and they are living on earth permanently having been summoned by their human magicians, just like in Babylon and ancient Egypt where Magic all began and so too then did the Djinn walk and rule among mankind. So many demons appearing as orbs which later turn into fake planes and helicopters etc. in our sky at the moment ( so few people investigate with their binoculars ) , often leaving trails which later turn into peculiar cloud formations in order to block out our Light. There is no such thing as oxygen, God, Light, Soul and the Sun are 1 and the same, the Sun is the dispenser of Light and it is in the Air that we breath, hence the fifth Element...Spirit. During Armageddon they will show their demonic form as Dragons etc. breathing fire and causing mass destruction just as in ancient times. Candles, incense, crystals, seals etc. are the highest technology and electronics etc. are their products. 'Aliens from other planets' is a Hollywood invention but the 'Alien or rather demonic invasion' is so very real.
bob jones Bro needs a reality check. Like.. his mind is so warped and paranoid, fed all these concepts that other people thought of and so tries to put two and two together under the delusion that he has figured out the world! Man its sad there too many sad, scared “smart” people like this man in the world...
I keep playing this as I write my horror fanfic type script about a singular ghost in a lone, snowy and misty town that a detective investigated in order to find out the mysteries of the town as something corrupt and evil happens down in the underground, under the town. There is a lot of other things to it that happens but that’s just a short plot summary. This really helps immerse me in my story and get a proper vibe from it, especially during the scenes (well not scenes but you get it) where the investigator explores the lonely, snowy and misty small town without the ghost appearing
Silent Hill is wonderful, its soundtrack is perfect, each part of it, it is not worth highlighting, that no matter what situation you are in, it surrounds you in the environment, it is incredible how it got to that point.
"I can Imagine that right now your feeling like Alice Tumbling down the rabbit hole." it's quite fascinating isn't it? when I first started playing Silent Hill two I had no idea what to expect. seeing James leap down the hole in the historical Society had me wonder why he would do that. perhaps he felt the need to fond out what was at the bottom. the maze hallway will have you wondering if the person that built the place was put of his friggin mind or something. and in the dark room after picking up the big knife. The fan is overhead almost as if it was a hint of another clue. The mysteries continue and questions keep entering the mind.
This song makes you realize how weird everything around you is. Also it brought up a deep memory of like, super Nintendo and my grandma's old dusty house.
To me I think of a dark sea cave and there’s like drums of some sort, echoing through the cave, but that’s all there is. I think this song is very lonely sounding 😔
If anyone was wondering- Pyramid Head is James's incarnation for his desire for punishment. The pyramid on his head is noticably uncomfortable, and the huge sword is incredibly hard to lug around.- Just for the people that didn't know :)
Truly one of the top three best themes, not technicall a song, but still...its melodic and works to inspire that foggy wandering, adventuring through dangerous paths and mysterious pursuits. And all that jazz lol
What genre could this specific track be described as? I like the atmospheric yet mysterious feeling it gives and I want to hear more. Please, do not say "soundtrack" or "anything from Akira Yamaoka", because that doesn't answer my question. Thank you for reading.
Why aren't such masterpieces created today? Are people so stupid and unwilling to create something intelligent, only shit like Uncharted, Horizon, Tomb raider, Wolfenstein, Outlast, Assasin shit 1,000,000, Far cry, Until Dawn,
Eddie was staring down the barrel of a forty five. I am asking for the return of Silent Hill games remastered for X Box One game consoles. and guide books too because I'm free....free falling oh yeah. I'm free I'm free falling now I'm free falling.
Same for me, it may be cause it’s not necessarily peaceful if that makes sense? Edit like 20 seconds later: It’s lonely sounding and the drum sound is like when your head spikes in discomfort.
Feel like I'm in an old outdated looking mall with yellow carpets white lights flickering on the the empty walls of what once was a place visited by hundreds. now left in small shambles. As I wander around the strangely familiar place as this atmospheric tune plays from the crackling speakers on the ceiling.I See a distant clock on a wall quietly tik away. displaying the time 2am while the calming and yet off putting song echoes down empty corridors and desolate abandoned shops unable to understand why or how I'm here. but attempting to make sense but to no avail trapped in this strange place wandering forever.
I also hate how they changed his helmet in the games and movies (one of many things I hate about the movies and later games). They made it a lot taller and pointier. Also, in the movie, Pyramid head looks like a funcking giant! XD
This is actually quite beautiful. When I listen to this, I can imagine myself just walking down dark ally's while the street lights shine crimson orange. It's like I can understand the atmosphere of this theme. Confusion & Memories.

It should be called “World of tranquillity”, this is calm as hell
heard this song in the dream
Let me guess it was sunny right ?.
Listen to this on repeat... Great way to set the depression in!
All the feelings of fear, darkness and chaos in the Silent Hill series in fact are, silence, peace and chill for me.
It just makes you think doesn’t it, I don’t know why, it just does
This soundtrack is so depressing and full of void.
Makes me imagine being all alone on a beautiful night.
This is my type of music!
I recently got a copy of Silent Hill 2 for the PS2 and playing it for the first time. This track and Forest are two of my favorite tracks thus far
I love you silent hill... Going to replay two... Love this music ... I soothe myself to sleep with this!
this is art!
masterpiece!
Absolutely

To me I think of a dark sea cave and there’s like drums of some sort, echoing through the cave, but that’s all there is.
I think this song is very lonely sounding 😔
There's something about this tune that's hypnotizing
I would be listening to these songs all day...
This gives me some kind of feeling of a Resident Evil extra game menu title screen waiting for "game start" to be pressed on.
I agree!
It reminds me Yume Nikki....
When you're alone in the foggy woods at night.
so sick. thank's for posting this on my birthday!
Beautiful and mysterious... :)
If anyone was wondering- Pyramid Head is James's incarnation for his desire for punishment. The pyramid on his head is noticably uncomfortable, and the huge sword is incredibly hard to lug around.- Just for the people that didn't know :)
Truly one of the top three best themes, not technicall a song, but still...its melodic and works to inspire that foggy wandering, adventuring through dangerous paths and mysterious pursuits. And all that jazz lol
Makes me think about all the anxiety, agitation, and depression that comes with the world we live in. 😬🤬😞🌏
This puts me the state of mind you know what I mean.its that nature of mine .
The nature of you .
Silent hill alone is the reason why I want to study psychology.
Everything just broke...
In a Cadillac with the bass bumpin jammin this classic. Gotta love it.
wavy...............
I Love that song
FOUND IT FINALLY!!!
Masterpiece, music for living in the present
Never even played this but i want to play the silent hill games one day
BUT THEN WHY IS THIS NOSTALGIC
Well, the Pyramid Head from this Silent Hill is meant for punishing James.
What genre could this specific track be described as?
I like the atmospheric yet mysterious feeling it gives and I want to hear more.
Please, do not say "soundtrack" or "anything from Akira Yamaoka", because that doesn't answer my question.
Thank you for reading.
Dark ambient
+BrokenMoonStudios I think atmospheric is a good way to describe it... you might also try ambient soundscapes.
*Pra um jogo como Silent Hill, essa música é bem relaxante*
I love it!
I wish I lived in a foggy place...
Same, but it’d probably get annoying after a while.
Isn't it his desire or want to be judged?
As Pyramid Head is acting as his judge, since he lacks the ability to judge himself.
This song sums up how I feel about living in Victoria BC, Canada. This city truly is a World of madness.
I’ve never played silent hill before but this makes me think of a damp sea cave with something that’s sounds like a echoing drum
One of the most DXM/ketamine/PCP feeling songs on the planet. Truly captures that otherworldly aura.
Why aren't such masterpieces created today? Are people so stupid and unwilling to create something intelligent, only shit like Uncharted, Horizon, Tomb raider, Wolfenstein, Outlast, Assasin shit 1,000,000, Far cry, Until Dawn,
It hurts to say it but they only do it for the money, there may be some people who care for the franchise still but money is priority
Eddie was staring down the barrel of a forty five. I am asking for the return of Silent Hill games remastered for X Box One game consoles. and guide books too because I'm free....free falling oh yeah. I'm free I'm free falling now I'm free falling.
Beautifully haunting
Hmmm.. Interesting. That is an excellent theory.
Idk why, but this song reminds me of a roaring headache. I don't hate it, it just does for some reason.
Same for me, it may be cause it’s not necessarily peaceful if that makes sense?
Edit like 20 seconds later: It’s lonely sounding and the drum sound is like when your head spikes in discomfort.
If u put it to 0.25 You'll here like some sort of screaming or something I cant make it out
Reminds me of Twin Peaks
In fact Yamaoka was inspired by Lynch and Badalamenti.
Twin Peaks is my favourite tv series and I love SH despite playing and finishing only SH2.
Great song.
this gives me asmr
FUKING AWESOME!!!
A world of Sparta?
This sounds like I stepped out of my house at 2 AM after a rainstorm and started having an existential crisis.
aw hell nah spunch bob [was forces to reconcile with his selfish acts and battle through a personification of his own trauma.]
This sounds like a song that would play at a character creation screen.
Feel like I'm in an old outdated looking mall with yellow carpets white lights flickering on the the empty walls of what once was a place visited by hundreds. now left in small shambles. As I wander around the strangely familiar place as this atmospheric tune plays from the crackling speakers on the ceiling.I See a distant clock on a wall quietly tik away. displaying the time 2am while the calming and yet off putting song echoes down empty corridors and desolate abandoned shops unable to understand why or how I'm here. but attempting to make sense but to no avail trapped in this strange place wandering forever.
@Kavir kinda forgot I wrote this lol but yeah that's exactly what I was trying to convey I guess
2019
bro this song goes hard when you're depressed 🔥🔥🔥
All the time
This sounds like a distortion of water dripping
I think the same.
Strange music... It makes you feel weird and spooked-out...
It also gives you a headache if you listen to it too much...
@@verygoofy2161 I agree.
This reminds me of Jreaks a roblox myth
I finally found it.
I woke up sleeping in my car while I was covid positive at 2 in the morning 49 degrees. This song came on from the horror game playlist
Who's here because of Kdot and kodak?
Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaames Sunderland
But be careful.
If you're wrong... hahahhahahahaha !
I think the japanese translators were clapped because they spelt Wales wrong
Hearing this makes me feel like i live in Seattle
No idea, I haven't won the game in such a long time that I've completely forgotten.
He desires punishment because he murdered his wife.
echosof water splashing..deser da thingsto cumto mindlisteningto dis
Like si estás aquí por Dross y su video del valle inquietante
The madness start when i go back gome, or when i leave home?
I also hate how they changed his helmet in the games and movies (one of many things I hate about the movies and later games). They made it a lot taller and pointier. Also, in the movie, Pyramid head looks like a funcking giant! XD
