If you are like me and need some lyrics, here they are (I hope I didn't mess up) [Chorus] When the power eternal calls upon your kin Leave behind loam and kernel Follow down the stream When the deity you worshipped Blooming source of life Turns to violence and ruin Stifle siren's chants [The Prisoner] Why it chose to set the world ablaze (As you're facing a stranger) Can we grasp it somehow (Guard against the threat) Simple patterns woven in our way (Else you're destined to stray) Fail us now (And ever to regret) Try to tell the light from the dark (As you're facing a stranger) As you hide from your fate (Guard against the threat) Wandering braves will see my spark (Else you're destined to stray) I won't regret (And ever to regret) One to challenge Fear and hate Won't hesitate Won't turn away Now my choice Is made Now I wait Now I wait [Chorus] Bewildered by the call The clan chosen to explore In our pursuit we should not stall Unveil the truth from long before Our doubts are in the past Is it source of rise or fall Lost among the stars All that's left is to journey on [Solanum] Reckless steps (As you set out) You made towards erratic ways (To face the wild) Was prudence ever one of traits (Don't forget) That you recalled along the way you take (Your mind will be your guide) The risk (As you set out) It's worth the knowledge I now seek (To face the wild) The treasure of our kind (Don't forget) Your faith and drive are always by my side (Our faith and drive are always by your side) [The Prisoner] One to challenge Fear and hate Won't hesitate Won't turn away Now my choice Is made Now I wait Now I wait [Solanum] One to challenge Fear and hate Won't hesitate Won't turn away [Solanum & The Prisoner] What our choices lead to, we can never guess Still on we press Hoping it's not senseless
God the lines where both Prisoner and Solanum sing "One to challenge fear and hate, won't hesitate, won't turn away" That makes me so emotional bc Prisoner is singing about how they went against their kind to release the eye's signal. To understand that the Eye perhaps isn't something to be feared While for Solanum, she grew up fearing the Eye. Her ancestors arrived to this solar system bc of the signal. Many perished, it was a dark time for the clan. Of course she would think the Eye was malevolent in some way. But as she grew older, she challenged her beliefs about the eye. She challenged her fears towards it and on her pilgrimage she understood that the universe is, and we are. Just aaaaa this is so incredibly well made,,,,
WOW This is beautiful, honestly. One detail that really caught my attention - The Prisoner's verse ends "I won't regret" while the background chorus sings "ever to regret"; going against the prevailing philosophy of the culture. Whereas Solanum's verse's last line, "Your faith and drive are always by my side" is in harmony (harmony of meaning, idk about actual musical harmony) with the background of "Our faith and drive are always by your side", showing how she is representing perfectly the Nomai philosophy. Both imprisoned in their own ways, one forever entombed by violating their culture's norms, one in stasis in the middle of what is literally a cultural pilgrimage, more or less. Never really thought too hard about the contrast between those two... it's super interesting!
I think my favourite part of this song is when the Prisoner is singing, and his voice is to the tune of The River, whereas the Owlks in the background are singing to the tune of Elegy for the Rings. One symbolises adventure and moving forward, and one symbolises stagnation and regret. It's a really cool detail that took me ages to notice.
I can't describe properly how utterly, utterly beautiful this is. The haunting harmonies of the beginning and the stories of loam and kernel (the seed and the soil of a new universe), and the seeking of understanding and the choice to release the signal, coupled with Solanum's more hopeful and optimistic call for curiosity to counter the Strangers cowering in the dark and sealing away the one who showed the light...and their harmonising together, it's just reaching into my soul. I hope Andrew and Alex see this. It is magnificent. Alright. I've got my normal human words out of the way. Now for the raw unbridled feeling: ghwufeewibf9uFCJFURWHG92HRHDSHFDJSFNCDQWOE-3TGJRWJ0EF32FUWGADFD1JRFEWFEJQE-FJC1FJC I NEED MORE THIS IS BEAUTIFUL MY FROTHING HEART I MEAN HEARTH'SBARK IT'S SO MEANINGFUL AND SAD AND HOPEFUL AND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I'm happy I finally got around to playing through Outer Wilds so I could uncover all the amazing talent that had been hiding. This song is truly beautiful and I'm happy to finally be here as well now.
I waited for something like this since I saw your Travelers video and now, in the 5th anniversary of the game... this is beatufiul. Thanks Rewatching it I just find it even more beautiful. It is really good. That last part made me cry... Many edits here but I'm a fan of how the Chorus on the prisoner's part can be interpreted to talk both about the OWlks and the Hearthian, guarding against the threat of the eye or the threat of the Owlks themselves. And in Solanum's part, I think the first part of the chorus is meant to talk to Solanum, the other Nomai telling her to make her own path, and then, the Nomai leaving her one last message as she is the sole survivor
This song sends chills through me. It echoes in my heart and bellows in my brain. It makes me want to dance under the stars and laugh at the wonder of the universe. I discovered it a scant few hours ago, and since then I've been listening to it almost non-stop. It's amazing. Thank you so much for making it. I love it.
This is very beautifull, i love it. Now i kinda want one last song with all 3: the hatching, the prisoner, and solanum. It kinda feels poetic to me to end it off with all 3 of them :> If yall are ever planing on it, maybe do it to the tune of end of the wilds.
This is beyond beautiful, thank you so much for giving me yet another reason to delve into these stories that I cannot re-discover in this lifetime. Thank you for this piece of art
beautiful! I was hoping to find a fan song for Outer Wilds cuz it had so much potential for a beautiful song! sadly, there doesn't seem to be any until I found this! every Outer Wilds fan should see this amazing song, I'm gonna be stuck listening to this for a while and I'm not complaining!
JGOAHFJEIWLLWMFBBENWIDHFJEGWJ THIS IS THE BEST FAN SONG I HAVE FOUND YET AND IM SHOCKED IT ONLY HAS 500 VEIWS!!! THIS IS AMAZING GREAT WORK TO EVEYRONE WHO WORKED ON THIS!!!
If you are like me and need some lyrics, here they are (I hope I didn't mess up)
[Chorus]
When the power eternal calls upon your kin
Leave behind loam and kernel
Follow down the stream
When the deity you worshipped
Blooming source of life
Turns to violence and ruin
Stifle siren's chants
[The Prisoner]
Why it chose to set the world ablaze (As you're facing a stranger)
Can we grasp it somehow (Guard against the threat)
Simple patterns woven in our way (Else you're destined to stray)
Fail us now (And ever to regret)
Try to tell the light from the dark (As you're facing a stranger)
As you hide from your fate (Guard against the threat)
Wandering braves will see my spark (Else you're destined to stray)
I won't regret (And ever to regret)
One to challenge
Fear and hate
Won't hesitate
Won't turn away
Now my choice
Is made
Now I wait
Now I wait
[Chorus]
Bewildered by the call
The clan chosen to explore
In our pursuit we should not stall
Unveil the truth from long before
Our doubts are in the past
Is it source of rise or fall
Lost among the stars
All that's left is to journey on
[Solanum]
Reckless steps (As you set out)
You made towards erratic ways (To face the wild)
Was prudence ever one of traits (Don't forget)
That you recalled along the way you take (Your mind will be your guide)
The risk (As you set out)
It's worth the knowledge I now seek (To face the wild)
The treasure of our kind (Don't forget)
Your faith and drive are always by my side (Our faith and drive are always by your side)
[The Prisoner]
One to challenge
Fear and hate
Won't hesitate
Won't turn away
Now my choice
Is made
Now I wait
Now I wait
[Solanum]
One to challenge
Fear and hate
Won't hesitate
Won't turn away
[Solanum & The Prisoner]
What our choices lead to, we can never guess
Still on we press
Hoping it's not senseless
Outer wilds fans making fan content almost a beautiful as the game itself only for it be just as criminally underrated:
I'm imagining this like an Outer Wilds musical. How I wish there will be one 😁
There's another team working on one right now actually! You can check out their new single if you look up 'All the Ways You Could Die in Outer Wilds'
God the lines where both Prisoner and Solanum sing "One to challenge fear and hate, won't hesitate, won't turn away"

I love this song. Solanum’s part was especially beautiful!
Please put this on spotify or something.

and Solanum is singing her part in the traveller's encore!!! she is singing the universe a new!!!
