I read the books recently. "You could go to a warm bed, read a book, see the news of the world in a small screen of light. The gas made the whole house warm in winter and hunger felt like a foreign lie. What a wonderful world we burned, you kids will never know it, when I die will be forgotten. I'm sorry boy, I'm really sorry"
It is depressing how much people takes for granted nowadays, we are a lot more privileged than past generations. We have fridges where we can preserve our foods, heat so that we do not need to cut down trees for winter, and electricity for our entertainment, security, and other requirements. We have transportation that almost all can afford and the lands are always so beautiful in the mid-west, even if the lands before had a lot more trees than we do now. Very few people go on walks these days and appreciate something as small as the grass and beauty that we always seem to forget is a privilege, not a guarantee.
I think one of the most depressing things is in metro: last light in theater station. There is a guy doing animal shadow puppets for a group of kids. Only one kid recognizes the animals correctly and that was only due to the fact that her mother showed her a book about them. The others kept calling them out as the deadly mutants they knew(Dog was a lurker, elephant a nosilais, bird a daemon etc.)
It's even more depressing when the man giving them the puppet show just seems to give up and lies that he's too old to remember how to show them animals they recognise "But I'll try to remember so that you can understand" Somehow, that upset me more than almost the entire rest of the game.
@@GreatNaturalStupidity yep yep and to boot if you tinhk about it russia maybe the only place this fucked over and when Moscow comes out of this dark age well shit can only gown worse from here
Fun fact: In Russian "мир" means both "world" and "peace", so "День, когда умер мир" can either mean "the day the world died" or "the day peace died". I think it's great that it works either way for the game.
Original music is very, very hard to promote - even when it's concerned with popular culture like many of my songs are. The upside is you tend to get a small but passionate audience.

An interesting thing about in the books is there is a secret remnant group of the government that is actually starting this war for population control so the number of people don’t outpace the resources and second I believe if my memory is correct is to keep control over what remains of Russia. Arytom even meets a member at a bar and shares a drink with him.
OH GOD THIS IS---- *gets overwhelmed by feels* Seriously, the way you say "The day the world died nothing was learned" makes me think of how true and sad that is in history~
+Ex Umbra Okay, I don't get why people look at war and see it as something that can be avoided. every political system has its flaws and misled followers. these flaws are thing that lead to tyranny and rebellion
The only thing we can do is have an individual omniscient and omnibenevolent so no-one in their right mind will start a war. People believe in God for this very reason: We want to believe someone cares and will help us no matter what.
Yep, I did most of this song in one take. I re-did certain lines (for example the' Once more we divide' at 3.26) which were lines I fucked up in the first take, but overall the song is just one long vocal take with no overdubs or layers. I think it shows in the dynamics, my voice gets a little more strained and intense as the song goes on. If you guys like this approach I will be happy to use it more often :)

One of the biggest thigns Artyom beats himself up over in the book is that just followed orders, allowing Miller and Hunter to make decisions for him. The beauty of 2033's good ending is that it doesn't just save the dark ones, rather, it gives you the choice to save the Dark Ones. In that brief moment atop the tower, Artyom becomes more than just a survivor, or a soldier, he is his own man, with the fate of every Moscovite, Human or Mutant, in his hands.

I remember when I heard this song first time. I was sitting and wondering how true these words were. 'The day the world died nothing was learned.' Yes, these words are painfully true.
@@lukalux5511 but Americans haven't learned anything from all the lives they lost in Vietnam and let the same thing happen in Afghanistan because they wanted money and a president wanted a peace treaty under his belt
@@stefangudalovic6824 yeah that's not it dumbass. Humans don't learn shit and Vietnam and Afghanistan we fucked up simply because of how we wage war. We can't conquer the damn area we're in so it turns into a stalemate at least it did in Afghanistan. Vietnam we had almost won and we had been there to help a few groups of people trying to flee the communists
This sounds as if it is a song from the game's setting, something you'd hear around a small fire in a little corner in the Metro, by two people with a guitar and an accordion. Beautiful, beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
What would there be to learn? Killing is bad? No, the only lesson to learn from global armageddon brought on by conflicting philosophies is to put survival before ideology. People would still kill but out of greed rather than zealotry if they learned the lesson told here.
I don't think humans have fully understood the past as of yet.... In yet we have so many who try too understand it.. Why do we have many that try to understand it and others who laugh at our past and do the exact same thing that ends in our demise?
Ashley Hruska As I see it it's because our supposed intelligence is partly just visions of our own hubris. We may in some respects be the stupidest species ever.
to all those in doubt about video games as art... let them play metro, thier doubts shall be no more! i belive both this and half life provided us with REAL interactive storytelling, they arent trying to be "cinematic" this is true interactive storytelling!
Uhm I'm sorry to try to come and correct you but perhaps it would have been better for Half Life series to give Gordon Freeman a personality, aswell as a voice at some moment...because I have to say that at least for me his complete lack of personality, voice, and the fact that the only science related thing we see him doing is pushing a stone to a light, plug the electricty and pull down switches...well...at first I did not cared but then it became a turndown at least for me. Don't get me wrong, sometimes a character without a voice is not much of a big deal but sometimes it is something a game does not need, and Half Life could have tried to give Gordon a voice at least try to figure a way out to make him remain silent without making him look like he had no personality
NekoSoren dude him being mute (in HL2 even more so) brings out the personality even more and goes far beyond what halo attempted with "the faceless protagonist" . Gordon's personality is developed trough other characters interaction with him and its into each player to gain their own grasp of the character in which some may agree and some may not. It establishes enough that he is developed and leave enough for the player to assume on his own and even more makes you wonder who or WHAT Gordon Freeman really is.
cropathfinder Uh with all due respect...despite this was clearly attemped by the makers of the game I really did not saw it working. The interactions we got with others characters did not developed Gordon as a character, in fact instead of helping they made me wonder if Gordon actually felt something at all. Considering all he went through they could have given us an small part where he actually spoke or said something, and not for the sake of him speaking but for the sake of actually getting a hint of how he felt about this whole situation. And about your point about leaving enough for us to assume...well...I'm afraid to say that at least from my point of view they basicly gave us a blank piece of paper and tell us to imagine completly how he was. This is not a bad thing to do, but on Half Life series it just gives a feeling to many of us that they did not cared about the main character at all and decided to leave the rest for us to assume, and to be honest...I think the crowbar in the game has more of a personality than he does. Ok now, about Halo, what they did was not reflect Master Chief personality through himself but mainly through Cortana, and the interactions between the two and with others. In any case, my point here is not that half life is a bad game...but in terms of main character development, the game...fails to deliver us a memorable character or at least a character at all, still, this is just my opinion
NekoSoren You're missing the whole point. He didn't have a voice because you were meant to immerse yourself and as a result be projected in to his position. Without a voice, he could be anyone you wanted him to be; A mild mannered scientist whose simply doing all he can to get out alive, or a rueful ass who finally gets to give all of those lugnut marines and aliens a lead salad that they'd deserved since high school. Ripped vaguely from a Yahtzee Croshaw review.
Dastardly Distaste Except *I* (Not precisely me, but the human psyche) does not operate by game mechanics or a set narrative. It cannot fully project your mind into the protagonist of the game, since whatever you do, even with multiple-choice games, you are limited to a certain set number of actions and narrative that the psyche does not comform to. Even more so that much of psychological stimuli also comes from physcial stimuli, and what you're mostly doing while playing games are: Tada! Sitting down and pressing buttons. And if you wanted the character to be "whatever you want him to be", that would also really kill the note of it being art, if say that your mind or your character is... Deadpool. Now Artyom from Metro, is a silent person for the most part, but he does express himself in his actions, his interactions (and he actually utters words at times - wouldn't be able to speak for Last Light though, haven't played it). No matter how much you love the game(s) he never is the blank slate for you to project into, as he already has a defined character (even more so if you have read the books already ;) )
+Jojy I'm Russian and I honestly can't understand how foreign fans of this book/game can understand some moments of the story, cuz it's just russian things :D
I will never forget, what I have seen. I am a soldier now, what will become of me? It's time of war, tables have turned. The day the world died, nothing was learned. What of the children? They never knew, what's outside the metro, they never knew. They'll never know, how the earth we burned. The day the world died, nothing was learned.
i dunno what will happen at the future. does it have jetpacks? or are there gonna be bandits? are there gonna be zombies? are there gonna be mutant monsters?
This song feels like a part of the original soundtrack, and I can only say: THIS is talent. You did not only get the tmosphere right, you captured the criticsmn the author gave in the books, which was also present in the game. You deserve more than a like and a new watcher!
I love your songs since 2013-2014, and I know your old levels by heart.. День когда умер мир. Я до сих пор помню, в мурашки кидает как тогда, когда в детстве слушал эту песню. Я даже не знаю как это описать, ты всего одной строчкой и её исполнением задал такую жуткую атмосферу... Спасибо тебе большое. Надеюсь, что однажды я смогу передать это лично.
First time i played Fallout 3:Damn this game is depressing My friend:Metro 2033 is like Fallout 3,but much much more depressing Me:That is just impossible. Me after playing Metro 2033:He was damn right!Fallouts(the games) are comedy games compared to this!
That second "The day the world died... Nothing was learned!" The, not exactly crack, but higher tone raises chills in my heart. Thank you for what you do!
Danny Miles Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that the second book hasn't yet been translated to English just yet, if that's your native tongue .I found a copy of 2034 online, but I haven't been game to read it because it was fan-translated. Not that I'm against that or anything I'm just sketchy that things might be different in it. :)
Danny Miles Yeah, i have readen the first book in German. It says, that theres a second book (Metro 2034). I have heard, that Dmitri Glukhovski is working at Metro 2035.
History repeats itself , its crazy how you look at everything .... The books , games , current world everything will come full circle , and every time it does .... "Nothing was learned"
So wait, it took this game to make you understand that the most destructive weapons ever successfully created by man would be/were the most frightening and inhumane devices ever used in war?
The Addiction 2 Just hearing that in history class doesn't make me fear them, what I've read on them used to be just words on a paper, a history that doesn't affect me. Then I realized the real impact of them by playing Fallout. I got to see their effects firsthand, I got to see and realize their destruction. This game is similar, you don't read or think of the power of a war, you see, feel and live it through this game.
The Addiction 2 Personally I Think the bio-chemical weapons are a lot worse. Although the effects from the fallout is deadly and horrible, it will atleast kill you quickly if you are Close to the explosion.
Miros Rikof Well said. I pray that I will never be forced to see the true power of a nuclear bomb and that I living it through Fallout and Metro 2033 was enough.

If you are asking if I am still alive,well Hell yes. After Artyomka left me back in the church,one Red Line's Stalker group found me.I returned to Red Line and comrade Moskovin wasn't very happy,because I didn't accomplish my mission.I didn't killed d'Artagnan and neither I capture the Dark One. Moskovin was already removed from his position,so Korbut send me to a trial.Fortunately he took as a fact my loyalty to the Red Line and he didn't killed me.He removed from my rank and the army.This is also the reason why I didn't died at D-6.After Korbut's death a man called Nikolai toke the leadership of the Red Line's army.So he offered me to rejoin the army,and me as a good Communist which I am,I accepted it. But anyway blyadj, what happened to Artyom?What happened to d'Artagnan?
Pavel Morozov I heard rumors that some "invisible watchers" or something teleported into D6 and gave a major headache to everyone there. I know for a fact that Korbut was knocked unconscious during battle and the Order finished him causing the Red soldiers to surrender. The D6 crew spent weeks removing all the C4 they had installed for self destruction in case Korbut had won. I've been working for Andrew The Blacksmith and so I spend a lot of time hearing for radio transmissions about these stories in his radio sets. Usually Artyom's channel is quite open, but it got silent recently. Last time I got a signal he was on the surface near Exhibition. Well... back to try communicating with the Emerald City.
in my opinion your best song ever... Capturing such emotion isn't something just any artist can do. Something about this piece was almost poetic, and truly captured the folly of humanity if ever such a catastrophe was to come to pass.....
A open world metro game would be *AMAZING*! Sure, we've got STALKER. But really, an open world metro game would be absolutely amazing. Also, i would love to see things from the book such as that humans cant go up in broad daylight because their eyes are used to the darkness that is the metro. A bit more on the Followers of the Great Worm Cult would also be cool :D
They will release Metro 2033 and Metro last light redux. Everything remade. Better level trasitions graphics 60FPS on consoles. And more. It will be amazing.
partytor11 Sorry for reviving this.....again. But now that I think about it. An open world Metro game WOULD be amazing. Yes....Stalker is there, but not in this setting. Exploring the tunnels. Going outside. Being careful of day and night cycles. Finding bullets. Exploring buildings. Helping people. Having to avoid those anomalies (Kinda ripping off of Stalker), but not like Stalker. Those anomalies would give you flashbacks. Sometimes you would see something useful. Other times something you never want to see.
Took me about 7 years, but I finally got around to playing this game. If not for this song, I doubt I'd have kept it in my memories this long. Thanks, Gav.
Now that I study Russian, I have realised that the words for world and peace are the same (mir). Was it just coincidence or were you intentionally playing with that polisemy? Doubt that you will respond in a 2 year old video, but can´t hurt to ask. Also, love your work, keep it up!
OH MY GOD That is something great. This song made me think about our world and what is happening around right now and to what it can move us. Gav, I'm very proud of listening to your music!
If apocalypse starts, I'd walk down the streets, surrounded by the ruins, with that burnt smell floating in the air, carrying a bag and an axe, listening to this music while I'm going towards my destination.
I'll sit humming this behind locked and blocked doors and windows, very silently, having scrabbled it on the walls with my nails in pure insanity. Thats how I think I'll go...
Thisshitisfuckedup Radiation. *Someone speaking behind me* WHAT! I'm not supposed to actually pick one it's just a figure of speech? Fuck. Well.......ummm......Rad suits and whole butt ton of food. Also RadX. And a geiger counter for safety. Also RadAway.
The saddest part is the truth, inherently conflict will remain with humanity until it’s extinction, and likely in the case of a nuclear war with any survivors like Metro, there would inevitably still be war, even after it destroyed an entire planet
@@lautarogomez9711 Not just that it is the urge for blood and war we all feel it at one point or another. It will continue until we are too few left to wage war or we all die
Still gives me goosebumps. And the last verse, oh my god! It feels like you want to cry. I don't know if your stumbling, raspy voice was simply because you could sing it like this or was intentional, but it's still amasing.
This... this is seriously my favorite song from you so far. This is just... fantastic. that choral sound... I just can't express how amazing this song is. thank you so much.
I love how you tie all the songs for a perticular game together. I call it musical atmosphere. I don't know what else to call it. It's so perfect for each game.
i keep seeing people who don't understand why he doesn't get many views, the reason is because people don't share his videos, if you like his work tell your friends who would like this and so he will get more views
It's coming, though I'm finding it to be a challenging one to make. It's hard to get something that fits the somber, bleak tone of the TLOU yet remains somewhat musically memorable and hummable. This one could take a while I'm afraid!
Holy shit. I'm stunned after giving this a watch, and surprised I hadn't seen it sooner. This is an extremely well written song, and manages to capture the spirit of Metro's setting perfectly in its tone. Which is to say, crushingly depressing and thick with suffering, history, and symbolism. Bravo.
Thanks for this beautiful song Gav, I attended a funeral today, I was just required to come at the church to pay respects to the deceased elder altar boy, didn;t know him, but it still made me nearly cry, which I never do during funerals, even for my grandfather's, but feeling sad when hearing this song makes me feel more human... thanks again
The movie got cancelled because the asshats in charge wanted to Americanize the story into Washington DC for no reason. And Glukhovsky obviously said no to that. One does not simply Americanize an amazing piece of Slavic literature that cannot possibly take place outside of Russia. Western spies, blyat.
metro is one of the few games that actually hammers it in that this would be hell. metro also gives me hope that if it comes to this we will find a path forward, and if there is none we will carve one.
My god Sir I've listened to this song countless times over the last several weeks since discovering it, and I have to say good job. Very good job. Tis' haunting me.
The accordion over the mushroom cloud gives me a feeling of solace and quietness ricochets throughout my mind as I see the buildings turn to dust. Yet there's that peaceful accordion.
+miracle of sound you are simply amazing and you managed to take the sadness and intenseness of metro and turn it into a song you have true talent my friend more talent than most peopl that write music
You want to know something? As depressing and sad as Metro and this song is... I can't but find a ray of hope. Forgive the pun. For one reason, Artyom. Artyom can change, he *has* changed. War can change and Humanity shall rise from the mud and dirt. And Artyom shall lead the way.
Nobody wants to fight a war but there will always be those who start one The only thing people forget is the soldiers that fight it wondering in their last moments if they made the right choices
I'm from America. We don't blame the common Russian people, we know that the real enemy is bitter old men and people who allow themselves to be swept up by them. Hope you and yours stay safe, someday the war will be over.
@@ReformedSooner24 because it feels like on that day world changed forever. Especially when you live in, one might say, problematic territory. For eight years, local propaganda has been telling us that Ukrainians are Nazis. And it hurts me to hear this, because half of my family is from Ukraine and lives there. All my friends and me - we are not supporting this crime. We are dreaming about it’s ending until it’s too late
While fallout takes place years after the nuclear a apocalypse, Metro games generally focus not too long after the bombs and us much more dark and realistic effects of a nuclear bombing
What I love about these songs is that the fit so well in universe. I could clearly see Artyom walking though a station and past 2 guys, one with an acoustic guitar singing this song with a friend on an accordion backing him.
I read the books recently.

Im PL so I try to translate this as good as I can. ,,The one who is enough brave to watch the darkness for all of his life, he will see the light first." Chan
+LaikaGamer “Azure Sorceress” † Spasibo - not "spasiva", duh =_=
Gotta love those Soviets
I listened to this with a thunderstorm going on outside..... well that was surreal.
Trust me: time try listening to it after nuclear war for the best effect.
Yeah I’m from the future btw, the Internet survived...somehow.
Your a brave soul
@@ReformedSooner24 You had it downloaded on an old PC that didn't get the frizz during an EMP blast, and smashed by looters =D
(and luckily still hooked to electricity somehow)
Better than many professional musicians. I always get shivers when I listen to your masterpieces.
TheKhopesh Well, no suprise. And now, a question: Why is a totally non -talented JB famous, but such pearls like Gavin are unheard of?
TheKhopesh Bieber. That description can be put into that one surname.
I can tell you why, marketing. These marketing exces knows that tweenage girls is a good demographic to cater to, and they though Bieber would be a good marketing tool for them. And evidently they were right, cuz he ended up making them millions upon millions of dollars. I'm sure of Gavin started marketing himself more, maybe even started touring with his music, his popularity would skyrocket.
as a metro fan i cant stop listening this.Thank you so much for this masterpiece.
Thank you :) My voice has improved greatly since MOS began and I like to think the feedback from you guys helped me with that
I remember when I heard this song first time. I was sitting and wondering how true these words were.
'The day the world died nothing was learned.' Yes, these words are painfully true.
as they will always be, if the last year has shown anything at all
Umm, how are they true? The world hasn't died yet has it?!
@@lukalux5511 but Americans haven't learned anything from all the lives they lost in Vietnam and let the same thing happen in Afghanistan because they wanted money and a president wanted a peace treaty under his belt
@@stefangudalovic6824 whatever man I'm not from America, just don't bomb us and we're cool!
@@stefangudalovic6824 yeah that's not it dumbass. Humans don't learn shit and Vietnam and Afghanistan we fucked up simply because of how we wage war. We can't conquer the damn area we're in so it turns into a stalemate at least it did in Afghanistan. Vietnam we had almost won and we had been there to help a few groups of people trying to flee the communists
Can't get the song out of my head in the last two days
This sounds as if it is a song from the game's setting, something you'd hear around a small fire in a little corner in the Metro, by two people with a guitar and an accordion. Beautiful, beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
the day the world died
nothing was learned
damn straight
not to be a ray of sunshine on your rainy day, but you know the world hasn't died yet, right?
but considering the scenario, if it ever happened, I doubt humanity would truly learn from it
Heedfulconch3 my thoughts exactly
If the world died who would learn?
What would there be to learn? Killing is bad? No, the only lesson to learn from global armageddon brought on by conflicting philosophies is to put survival before ideology. People would still kill but out of greed rather than zealotry if they learned the lesson told here.
The day the world died... nothing was learned. somehow, I see this as quite realistic. humans take quite a lot to learn from their mistakes.
I don't think humans have fully understood the past as of yet.... In yet we have so many who try too understand it.. Why do we have many that try to understand it and others who laugh at our past and do the exact same thing that ends in our demise?
Ashley Hruska
As I see it it's because our supposed intelligence is partly just visions of our own hubris. We may in some respects be the stupidest species ever.
We will never totally learn from history and achieve full peace until we learn to respect one another for our cultures, religions, races etc.
this guy ATKM
Good luck.
Birdblizzard I know exactly what you mean. We see ourselves as smart, but some of us can't even type English well, and we made the language!
to all those in doubt about video games as art... let them play metro, thier doubts shall be no more! i belive both this and half life provided us with REAL interactive storytelling, they arent trying to be "cinematic" this is true interactive storytelling!
Uhm I'm sorry to try to come and correct you but perhaps it would have been better for Half Life series to give Gordon Freeman a personality, aswell as a voice at some moment...because I have to say that at least for me his complete lack of personality, voice, and the fact that the only science related thing we see him doing is pushing a stone to a light, plug the electricty and pull down switches...well...at first I did not cared but then it became a turndown at least for me. Don't get me wrong, sometimes a character without a voice is not much of a big deal but sometimes it is something a game does not need, and Half Life could have tried to give Gordon a voice at least try to figure a way out to make him remain silent without making him look like he had no personality
NekoSoren dude him being mute (in HL2 even more so) brings out the personality even more and goes far beyond what halo attempted with "the faceless protagonist" . Gordon's personality is developed trough other characters interaction with him and its into each player to gain their own grasp of the character in which some may agree and some may not. It establishes enough that he is developed and leave enough for the player to assume on his own and even more makes you wonder who or WHAT Gordon Freeman really is.
cropathfinder Uh with all due respect...despite this was clearly attemped by the makers of the game I really did not saw it working. The interactions we got with others characters did not developed Gordon as a character, in fact instead of helping they made me wonder if Gordon actually felt something at all. Considering all he went through they could have given us an small part where he actually spoke or said something, and not for the sake of him speaking but for the sake of actually getting a hint of how he felt about this whole situation. And about your point about leaving enough for us to assume...well...I'm afraid to say that at least from my point of view they basicly gave us a blank piece of paper and tell us to imagine completly how he was. This is not a bad thing to do, but on Half Life series it just gives a feeling to many of us that they did not cared about the main character at all and decided to leave the rest for us to assume, and to be honest...I think the crowbar in the game has more of a personality than he does. Ok now, about Halo, what they did was not reflect Master Chief personality through himself but mainly through Cortana, and the interactions between the two and with others. In any case, my point here is not that half life is a bad game...but in terms of main character development, the game...fails to deliver us a memorable character or at least a character at all, still, this is just my opinion
NekoSoren
You're missing the whole point. He didn't have a voice because you were meant to immerse yourself and as a result be projected in to his position. Without a voice, he could be anyone you wanted him to be; A mild mannered scientist whose simply doing all he can to get out alive, or a rueful ass who finally gets to give all of those lugnut marines and aliens a lead salad that they'd deserved since high school.
Ripped vaguely from a Yahtzee Croshaw review.
Dastardly Distaste Except *I* (Not precisely me, but the human psyche) does not operate by game mechanics or a set narrative. It cannot fully project your mind into the protagonist of the game, since whatever you do, even with multiple-choice games, you are limited to a certain set number of actions and narrative that the psyche does not comform to.
Even more so that much of psychological stimuli also comes from physcial stimuli, and what you're mostly doing while playing games are: Tada! Sitting down and pressing buttons.
And if you wanted the character to be "whatever you want him to be", that would also really kill the note of it being art, if say that your mind or your character is... Deadpool.
Now Artyom from Metro, is a silent person for the most part, but he does express himself in his actions, his interactions (and he actually utters words at times - wouldn't be able to speak for Last Light though, haven't played it). No matter how much you love the game(s) he never is the blank slate for you to project into, as he already has a defined character (even more so if you have read the books already ;) )
I have never heard a more depressing song/ Fits the books/games, but damn... This song is just depressing as hell. Good work.
Try book metro 2033 very depressing and in Rusia what is a good difference than USA
I have read the books. They are excellent. Just wish I could read Russian, as things tend to be better in their native language.
+Jojy I'm Russian and I honestly can't understand how foreign fans of this book/game can understand some moments of the story, cuz it's just russian things :D
Ксения Крамзюк what moments exactly?
+Ксения Крамзюк i'm from Poland, but I think I understand the books.
This hits so different right now..
I will never forget,
what I have seen.
I am a soldier now,
what will become of me?
It's time of war,
tables have turned.
The day the world died,
nothing was learned.
What of the children?
They never knew,
what's outside the metro,
they never knew.
They'll never know,
how the earth we burned.
The day the world died,
nothing was learned.
Wow, it's amazing!
+Fernando Langalú you copied that out of the description, what was the point of that?
+Jacob Campbell No no I improvised a lil bit, I didn't copy it from the description!
i dunno what will happen at the future. does it have jetpacks? or are there gonna be bandits? are there gonna be zombies? are there gonna be mutant monsters?
not bad, instead of "it's" put "in" in front of time of war
This song feels like a part of the original soundtrack, and I can only say: THIS is talent.
You did not only get the tmosphere right, you captured the criticsmn the author gave in the books, which was also present in the game.
You deserve more than a like and a new watcher!
I love your songs since 2013-2014, and I know your old levels by heart.. День когда умер мир. Я до сих пор помню, в мурашки кидает как тогда, когда в детстве слушал эту песню. Я даже не знаю как это описать, ты всего одной строчкой и её исполнением задал такую жуткую атмосферу... Спасибо тебе большое. Надеюсь, что однажды я смогу передать это лично.
Песня очень хорошо передаёт атмосферу книги, спасибо.
same
so true
И не только книги.
He said "The song is quite good at recreating the atmosphere of the book, thanks". Yes, this game is based on the book
Книги не во всем так уж хороши.
First time i played Fallout 3:Damn this game is depressing
My friend:Metro 2033 is like Fallout 3,but much much more depressing
Me:That is just impossible.
Me after playing Metro 2033:He was damn right!Fallouts(the games) are comedy games compared to this!
Read the book and get more depressed.
Benjamin J read Roadside Picnic to get even more depressed.
Null Nullion already over 1\2 way through.
Null Nullion Great book,Didn't understand much,then watched the movie,then didn't understand anything!Still great book!
I think you're mixing up the book I mentioned and The Road....as far as I am aware, Roadside Picnic doesn't have a film adaptation.
That second "The day the world died... Nothing was learned!" The, not exactly crack, but higher tone raises chills in my heart. Thank you for what you do!
this game series is awesome
the books too ;)
Ryquaaza B. More then one book?
Danny Miles Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that the second book hasn't yet been translated to English just yet, if that's your native tongue .I found a copy of 2034 online, but I haven't been game to read it because it was fan-translated. Not that I'm against that or anything I'm just sketchy that things might be different in it. :)
Ben Sutton 2034 is translated to english
Danny Miles Yeah, i have readen the first book in German. It says, that theres a second book (Metro 2034). I have heard, that Dmitri Glukhovski is working at Metro 2035.
The day the world died, nothing was learned... Because war. War never changes.
Fallout, fallout never change......... :V
Mah men this is metro
not if you in a MGS game :D
@@mini4025 agreed
Now get out of here, STALKER. Go be a scav somewhere else.
Finally finished Last Light yesterday. absolutely loved that game! I read 2033 and 2034 too and am looking forward to reading 2035
akrybion 2034 was meh for me, sadly. I just love Artyom so much.
P K well soon u will be playing metro 2035
P K did u know the twist
Love Artyom? Jesus. we must have read different books :D
@@vincentbristol7945 exodus is a sequel to 2035
History repeats itself , its crazy how you look at everything .... The books , games , current world everything will come full circle , and every time it does .... "Nothing was learned"
the lyrics are super sad when you take a minute to listen to them
Or four if one is not enough...
This is the only game that has ever made me realise how horrible and firghtening global Nuclear destruction would be.
So wait, it took this game to make you understand that the most destructive weapons ever successfully created by man would be/were the most frightening and inhumane devices ever used in war?
The Addiction 2 Just hearing that in history class doesn't make me fear them, what I've read on them used to be just words on a paper, a history that doesn't affect me. Then I realized the real impact of them by playing Fallout. I got to see their effects firsthand, I got to see and realize their destruction. This game is similar, you don't read or think of the power of a war, you see, feel and live it through this game.
The Addiction 2 Personally I Think the bio-chemical weapons are a lot worse. Although the effects from the fallout is deadly and horrible, it will atleast kill you quickly if you are Close to the explosion.
greyassassin24 The only way to truly know war, is to participate in one yourself. Then you will see how much of a hell war is.
Miros Rikof Well said. I pray that I will never be forced to see the true power of a nuclear bomb and that I living it through Fallout and Metro 2033 was enough.
Для тех, кто не понимает:
В тот день, когда мир умер
Мы исчезли
Прошлые ржавые турникеты
Мы упорно заставляем работать
Колеса конфликтов
Все еще двигаются и крутятся
В тот день, когда мир умер
Ничего не было усвоено
И в будущем туннель растягивается бесконечно
В ничего не споткнуться в черном
И свет в конце - это всего лишь предательство
Он ослепит вас и заставит вас вернуться
В тот день, когда мир умер
Мы обрекли себя на смерть
Мы сожгли поверхность
Окутал нас мрак
Но уроки истории
Оскорблены и отвергнуты
В тот день, когда мир умер
Ничего не было усвоено
День, когда умер мир
И в будущем туннель растягивается бесконечно
В ничего не споткнуться в черном
И свет в конце - это всего лишь предательство
Он ослепит вас и заставит вас вернуться
Еще раз разделим
От мира мы отвернулись
В тот день, когда мир умер
Ничего не было усвоено
Впрочем, как-то так.

Song is fixing to come true at this rate
I so badly don't want to live in this...
But... I want to protect Poland and Finland.
...oh god...
Thanks
Oh
👍
I've actually only just started this game, and of course, the first thing I did was have this playing in the background during the opening cinematic!
It is so fitting my gosh. This song absolutely captures the feel
God, this is heart wrenching to hear in the current moment We are in.
Really love how your voice sounds strained near the ends. Almost sounds like genuine sorrow, which fits the song very well.
Tak tak tak, Nice song chuvak,really touching...
Actually no... I have fell in love with it.
Op-pa, that is good Athos, are you okay after d'Artagnan left you?
If you are asking if I am still alive,well Hell yes.
After Artyomka left me back in the church,one Red Line's Stalker group found me.I returned to Red Line and comrade Moskovin wasn't very happy,because I didn't accomplish my mission.I didn't killed d'Artagnan and neither I capture the Dark One. Moskovin was already removed from his position,so Korbut send me to a trial.Fortunately he took as a fact my loyalty to the Red Line and he didn't killed me.He removed from my rank and the army.This is also the reason why I didn't died at D-6.After Korbut's death a man called Nikolai toke the leadership of the Red Line's army.So he offered me to rejoin the army,and me as a good Communist which I am,I accepted it. But anyway blyadj, what happened to Artyom?What happened to d'Artagnan?
Pavel Morozov I heard rumors that some "invisible watchers" or something teleported into D6 and gave a major headache to everyone there. I know for a fact that Korbut was knocked unconscious during battle and the Order finished him causing the Red soldiers to surrender. The D6 crew spent weeks removing all the C4 they had installed for self destruction in case Korbut had won. I've been working for Andrew The Blacksmith and so I spend a lot of time hearing for radio transmissions about these stories in his radio sets. Usually Artyom's channel is quite open, but it got silent recently. Last time I got a signal he was on the surface near Exhibition. Well... back to try communicating with the Emerald City.
***** What the hell hero?! Don't you want to find Anna?
***** That was fast! Well... I've found the wrecks of Regina. If you want it back and repaired, visit me at Andrew's place.
in my opinion your best song ever... Capturing such emotion isn't something just any artist can do. Something about this piece was almost poetic, and truly captured the folly of humanity if ever such a catastrophe was to come to pass.....
I really want another Metro game. I loved 2033 and Last Light, but I still feel as if it was really incomplete.
then read the books :) 2033 2034 and 2035
Supposedly they're going to release another game this year or in 2015. Speculation though.
A open world metro game would be *AMAZING*! Sure, we've got STALKER. But really, an open world metro game would be absolutely amazing.
Also, i would love to see things from the book such as that humans cant go up in broad daylight because their eyes are used to the darkness that is the metro.
A bit more on the Followers of the Great Worm Cult would also be cool :D
They will release Metro 2033 and Metro last light redux. Everything remade. Better level trasitions graphics 60FPS on consoles. And more. It will be amazing.
partytor11 Sorry for reviving this.....again. But now that I think about it. An open world Metro game WOULD be amazing. Yes....Stalker is there, but not in this setting. Exploring the tunnels. Going outside. Being careful of day and night cycles. Finding bullets. Exploring buildings. Helping people. Having to avoid those anomalies (Kinda ripping off of Stalker), but not like Stalker. Those anomalies would give you flashbacks. Sometimes you would see something useful. Other times something you never want to see.
Took me about 7 years, but I finally got around to playing this game. If not for this song, I doubt I'd have kept it in my memories this long. Thanks, Gav.
Now that I study Russian, I have realised that the words for world and peace are the same (mir). Was it just coincidence or were you intentionally playing with that polisemy? Doubt that you will respond in a 2 year old video, but can´t hurt to ask. Also, love your work, keep it up!
The 'i' is supposed to be a different character though.
@@covet.323 I mean it's pronounced "Mir", afaik the R is a hard R.
It's written Mиp
и's pronunciation being "I"
p being "R"
One of thee best anti-war songs I've ever heard. Doesn't matter what game it's a tribute to, the song stands on its own.
ПРОСТО ПОТРЯСНО! Очень хорошая и трагичная песня. Мне она очень понравилась. (День, когда мир умер, мы все исчезли forever!) :)!
Gera Shar +
OH MY GOD That is something great. This song made me think about our world and what is happening around right now and to what it can move us. Gav, I'm very proud of listening to your music!
Большое вам спасибо! Прекрасная песня!
If apocalypse starts, I'd walk down the streets, surrounded by the ruins, with that burnt smell floating in the air, carrying a bag and an axe, listening to this music while I'm going towards my destination.
I'll sit humming this behind locked and blocked doors and windows, very silently, having scrabbled it on the walls with my nails in pure insanity. Thats how I think I'll go...
It's more likely that you'd be ash.
Thisshitisfuckedup What if they survived for those 20 years? Then walked outside?
tkristians123 Radiation poisoning or starvation. Pick one.
Thisshitisfuckedup Radiation. *Someone speaking behind me* WHAT! I'm not supposed to actually pick one it's just a figure of speech? Fuck. Well.......ummm......Rad suits and whole butt ton of food. Also RadX. And a geiger counter for safety. Also RadAway.
The saddest part is the truth, inherently conflict will remain with humanity until it’s extinction, and likely in the case of a nuclear war with any survivors like Metro, there would inevitably still be war, even after it destroyed an entire planet
Cause is in our nature to seek our self destruction
@@lautarogomez9711 Not just that it is the urge for blood and war we all feel it at one point or another. It will continue until we are too few left to wage war or we all die
@@thebloodyshaman7695 yeah. And to make it worse. The next gen is doomed to repeat itself
Still gives me goosebumps. And the last verse, oh my god! It feels like you want to cry. I don't know if your stumbling, raspy voice was simply because you could sing it like this or was intentional, but it's still amasing.
this hits different now
This... this is seriously my favorite song from you so far. This is just... fantastic. that choral sound... I just can't express how amazing this song is. thank you so much.
This is hauntingly beautiful. One question: Is the game as good as this song?
Omg yes.
Yes it is man. If you wanna game that is bleak and hopeless as hell, get this game!
I honestly made me cry. It was such a sad yet wonderful game. Keep in mind it's a morals game. Two or three endings like Bioshock.
*it
No, it was very emotional. It reminded me of my great grandfather who was in WW2. How it did that, I'll never know.
I can't believe it took me seven years to discover this song. I've had it on loop for an hour and it's still giving me chills.
Metro is so depressing even porn about it makes you feel sad
Ram Gilamar theres a Metro 2033 themed hentai?
buy Skyrim for the 100th time that's Rule 34 for ya. If it exists, there's porn of it
There's literally a strip club in last light. In the station vennus
I love how you tie all the songs for a perticular game together. I call it musical atmosphere. I don't know what else to call it. It's so perfect for each game.
i keep seeing people who don't understand why he doesn't get many views,
the reason is because people don't share his videos, if you like his work tell your friends who would like this and so he will get more views
It's coming, though I'm finding it to be a challenging one to make. It's hard to get something that fits the somber, bleak tone of the TLOU yet remains somewhat musically memorable and hummable. This one could take a while I'm afraid!
Today this is not just a song anymore...
Holy shit. I'm stunned after giving this a watch, and surprised I hadn't seen it sooner. This is an extremely well written song, and manages to capture the spirit of Metro's setting perfectly in its tone. Which is to say, crushingly depressing and thick with suffering, history, and symbolism.
Bravo.
This is truly amazing. Thank you, Gavin Dunne.
From Russia with love :)
Why!??!?! Why can I not LIKE your songs more then once!! Everything is brilliant, please never stop.
ARTYOM !!!!!!
:'(
Samer Dawalib Why the tears m8? If you get the good ending Artyom lives.
i got the bad .... twice
I got the bad one too. I cried so much, but the requirements for the good ending were too much.
It's fair though, showing how easy if is to go the dark way.
For fucks sake, what is wrong with my keyboard?!
Thanks for this beautiful song Gav, I attended a funeral today, I was just required to come at the church to pay respects to the deceased elder altar boy, didn;t know him, but it still made me nearly cry, which I never do during funerals, even for my grandfather's, but feeling sad when hearing this song makes me feel more human... thanks again
Back here after finishing Exodus...thanks gav
I have said it before and i shall say it again, You continue to amaze me with every new song you create.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
as soon as the base dropped,
the nuke did too
curtis mays that is amazing
They just keep getting better as they go. Hats off to you Gav!
This song NEEDS to be played in the Metro 2033 movie!!!
I didn't even know there's gonna be one! thank you!
There'll be no world by then tho
there just plain needs to be a metro movie
Sadly it got canceled
The movie got cancelled because the asshats in charge wanted to Americanize the story into Washington DC for no reason. And Glukhovsky obviously said no to that. One does not simply Americanize an amazing piece of Slavic literature that cannot possibly take place outside of Russia.
Western spies, blyat.
"The day the world died, nothing was learned" That ... is a heartbreaking line
metro is one of the few games that actually hammers it in that this would be hell. metro also gives me hope that if it comes to this we will find a path forward, and if there is none we will carve one.
Digging through every single song on this channel. So worth!!!! So much worth!!!!!! And I'm still only half-way there!!! I love this channel!!!! :D
You know I never tried these games just figured oh another shooter but after seeing your videos for them I'm going to 👍👌 thanks again
It's been almost 10 years since this song came out
still one of the best things I've ever heard
blyatiful
didnt juj mi by mi grammer nd my foto haha
Did you just make a reference to the slav king?
@@firstnamelastname9824 no, reference for russian swear word)

This video is awesome when you put it in HD. And the song... well, I love it so much I can't say anything. Truly brilliant and so true!
"Nothing was learned..."
The accordion over the mushroom cloud gives me a feeling of solace and quietness ricochets throughout my mind as I see the buildings turn to dust. Yet there's that peaceful accordion.

You want to know something? As depressing and sad as Metro and this song is... I can't but find a ray of hope. Forgive the pun.
For one reason, Artyom.
Artyom can change, he *has* changed.

I'm from Crimea... I will not lie, I am so ashamed of the events of today and for those responsible for them! Ukraine is not our enemy!
What Putin is doing is a war crime
Nobody wants to fight a war but there will always be those who start one
The only thing people forget is the soldiers that fight it wondering in their last moments if they made the right choices
I'm from America. We don't blame the common Russian people, we know that the real enemy is bitter old men and people who allow themselves to be swept up by them. Hope you and yours stay safe, someday the war will be over.
Great. Good. However I question what this has to do with the song we’re all enjoying, regardless of side in current events.
@@ReformedSooner24 because it feels like on that day world changed forever. Especially when you live in, one might say, problematic territory. For eight years, local propaganda has been telling us that Ukrainians are Nazis. And it hurts me to hear this, because half of my family is from Ukraine and lives there.
All my friends and me - we are not supporting this crime. We are dreaming about it’s ending until it’s too late
Fuck, I got goosebumps before I even clicked on the video, just from the memories of this song... Now that's a sign of powerful music!
Still Gavins best song IMO.
Ooooh, now I got the reference in the "Breathe in" with the whole the future is a railraod stretching endlessly.
While fallout takes place years after the nuclear a apocalypse, Metro games generally focus not too long after the bombs and us much more dark and realistic effects of a nuclear bombing
What I love about these songs is that the fit so well in universe. I could clearly see Artyom walking though a station and past 2 guys, one with an acoustic guitar singing this song with a friend on an accordion backing him.
I love how this song sounds like something the stalkers would play on a guitar around a camp fire
Amazing! You really managed to capture the whole feel of the books and the game! I think this song is your most wonderful one (yet)!
Must say that this song suits the game in every way, vocal, tempo, text....
