what i really like about the parish's theme is that it sounds so *final* like this is what the past campaigns have been leading up to; it's the final obstacle before the survivors finally escape for good
My mother is not a fan of videogames but she heard this song and she told me that it is a song that represents the end of something, the calm after the storm, she is absolutely right.
Personally, I think this song fits the entire game perfectly. It’s sad, but not too dark and creepy and perfect for its non-horror atmosphere. And the menu music for L4D1 fits it since it’s more of a dark game with a sad story ending.
@@Lohannestuwka brass section is the section in a band or orchestra that is constituted of brass instruments, for example trumpet trombone and saxophone !
This theme signifies the final, the inevitable conclusion. 10 years later & I’m still questioning what happens to these survivors, did they find safety/ paradise or did the military line them up against a wall....
But why would the militars rescue them in the first place only to kill them later? For me they saved the survivors to make some experiments with the group, because as you might know, they were chargering the virus.
@@ramondias3037 reason they might be shot is....well they already murdered tons of non-infected (supposedly carriers) in the same campaign; the parish, why any different now? Even nick and coach comment on it when they see corpses of them on the 2nd chapter after leaving the park.
@@celeb-seventeen I understand what you're saying, but for me the militaries wouldn't rescue them only to kill the survivors later. It would be easier to leave them at the bridge and let the explosion do the job.
@@ramondias3037 yeah. why would the military waste a helicopter and its crew to save 4 survivors to just kill them. They probably have some sort of plan to use them either to form an army of carrier to fight against the zombies or to find a cure.
@@ramondias3037 also the chopper was specifically equipped for carriers! Papa gator literally asks rescue 7 (the chopper) if equip for carrier transport.
Still gives me goosebumps when I load up the game. And the fact that this was the first thing I heard when I opened the game after 6 years was just so nostalgic
I love this theme the most cause it seems to capture the true devastation of the situation of the zombie apocalypse. The real sense of abandonment of it all. This theme is perfect, just how slow and almost soft and dreadful all at the same time.
I remember when the music released I suggested this to my band mates at school so glad I did :). and also we practiced on this for weeks on our trumpets at our houses.
The Parish. i find that this piece of music tells you that the end is near, you still have one chance at escaping, after all the suffering you witnessed.
I just want to imagine that some musicians were infected and instead of killing them, the team was just like "Ahh, they're fine" and left them to listen to their music
Couldn't agree more. The first time I heard this music at the menu screen and saw the gritty background with wandering zombies, It definitely put me in *that* mood. Very chilling.
i used to just sit in the main menu listening to this absolute masterclass of a main menu in the game when i was too scared to leave the rooftop of dead center lol.
La musica encaja perfectamente con el capitulo, ya que hace sentir esa sensación de que es el final de que solo hay una opurtunidad, y que si la arruinas esta todo perdido
I like to think that after the survivors were rescued by the millitary they found a cure by using the survivors immune blood and the world was restored to normal. Maybe the survivors all lived in a big house together after that.
they're not immune, they're carriers, which means they carry the disease, but show no symptoms. Seeing all the uninfected dead bodies in the Parish campaign, the survivors were most likely killed. Though why would the military rescue them in the first place is a bit of a mystery, maybe they recruited them in the zombie killing forces or something. Idk i just really hope they're alive
The main reason The Parish's menu theme sounds so depressing is that, New Orleans is such a lively city with people all over despite the fact that the buildings aren't as lively. Its just extremely depressing when the main part of New Orleans is taken away, the people.
Last time I saw my grandmother, she asked me if I was still a praying man. I said: "Yes ma'am". And she said: "Well then, pray harder... ...because it ain't working..."
Ooh! Ooh! Me next! Did I ever tell ya'll 'bout the time I was hanging from the bridge and the chopper was like, right next to me. I was left there for ages. My team'mate' said: "We got everyone let's go." He was playin' as Rochelle.
it is exactly what it makes me feel, the last death wish of 4 people who have almost tasted death, fighting like predators trying to survive with helplessness and devastation.
My grandpa has a shotgun. I live near a small island town, so if possible I would get on it before the military inevitably blows the bridge. Hopefully at that point there will be an evac center there. If the highways are overrun, I will take my family and travel through the backwoods of our town in our van, stopping only for roadblocks and piss breaks. We would distance ourselves from the major highways and cities and fortify a house, preferably one with other people.
what i really like about the parish's theme is that it sounds so *final*
like this is what the past campaigns have been leading up to; it's the final obstacle before the survivors finally escape for good
sounds like funeral music. kinda fitting for something "final" :)
Good ear buddy!It most definately does.
Nemoy 2 yeah, that’s what i mean; it sounds like a tribute to the deceased
I know, its like, 'Shit goes down in this chapter"
The Parish, The Ray Of Hope

no she fucking didn't you liar
Holy molly,rain 🙀🙀🙀🙀
Inspiring 😎👍
your mother is absolutely right.
Now this is epic 😱
That Tuba is what really makes this piece so eerie. The Valve Orchestra really did a great job here [like they always do].
I think that's a baritone.
I don't know, they both sound the same.
this is trumpet i'm playinh on a trumpet
Parish baritones can’t go that low
@@DominatorBuilder probably a trombone
Don’t forget the trumpet it gives despair but a feeling of finale
Personally, I think this song fits the entire game perfectly. It’s sad, but not too dark and creepy and perfect for its non-horror atmosphere. And the menu music for L4D1 fits it since it’s more of a dark game with a sad story ending.
Spicy nicely said mate :')
this is just an alternate version of left L4D1 maain menu theme
Yeah
it was also made to represent how tragic and uncomfortable new orleans is without anyone there, it's just a ghost town without people
"L4d 2 is non-horror" yeah right, try playing last man on Earth
A Parish is a county in Louisiana or a local church with its field of activity. It is also a play on the word perish, which means to die.
So it's the chapter is called "The Die"
So that's why the music sounds exactly like the music you would find in a goddamn funeral
Looks like I'm packing my bags ain't nothing stopping me now
Ik
That, and New Orleans is set to Parish in the oncoming airstrike near the end.

Those trumpets really describe the whole situation and how depressing the world must be in the L4D universe

Did you look this vid up for some nostalgia aswell 😂
alfie quirke maybe...😂
Yes
Koops Akimoto so depressing 😭
😢
Wow, this is freakin great. Total nostalgic for first time playing L4D demo.
You are the oldest comment
Yes
This is the song I hear in my head when I play games with communities that are no longer thriving. Thankfully in l4d’s case it’s still alive
Valve is very, very good at making online games that aren't MMORPG's that can last decades
@@solaireofastora922tf2, cs:s and cs 1.6 are all prime examples of this
Great lone gunslinger theme...
weirdTedE91 it’s high noon
One and only song that matches feelings, zombies, and the atmosphere...

did ya perform it man
This sounds like what you would hear at a funeral, I may want this played at mine.
Damn bro I would cry so hard at your funeral. 🤣
The music bring back my memories with my friends and cousins playing.
I love the New Orleans sound in the Parish’s menu and opening themes
This one in particular hits different after playing through the story so many times
Can't stop playing it over again 👍🏻🎮
Now this is what I call a zombie game soundtrack. No happy moments, just sadness.
0:18
:o
The whole soundtrack starts there.
0:18 starting :)
feels like finale,doesn't it ?
this music reminds me of military funeral or just a guy playing it in pyro like suit

This is the best theme for l4d2 i sing it everyday for my friends and they love it! Thanks for uploading it. :)
i don't love it , but i don't want to hurt my friend's feelings
if he sees this he ove me a big mac
I want this theme played as i be put into my grave, fits too well

Sums up 2020 and now we're approaching 2021... This time it all goes south.
I played the demo for 276 hours, I really love this game.
Rip to all people who used to play l4d2 at its peak and couldn't survive to play with friends or tell them they died 😢
When I first listened to this in the campaign, I thought a survivor was going to ACTUALLY die, just like lfd1
If it was, I'd pick Rochelle.
music: sad
game: haha zombie go pew pew
I know. I like how everyone in L4D2 gets along better and Ellis is funny as hell. Definately a guy you want watching your back during Z-Day.
Muted trumpets for the win!!! Love that Dixieland Jazz touch to the theme
this is my absolute favorite menu theme
Rest in peace, Rick May. Rest in peace.

Sounds like a trumpet or a cornet to me.
The best song in L4D2?
-Yes 👌👑
when i hear this song i imagine a city street crowded by zombies.. it makes me shiver
the part with the trumpet is sweet. and very fun to play might i add
This song is nostalgic as hell
i always loved how "tired'' this song feels
This is my favorite of all the variations. Favoriting.
I hear this song in my mind when the teacher tells us all that we failed the exam xd
you heard the man let's get to the other side of the bridge! - favorite level of ALL time.
This music is representation of defeat nowing the end is near
Everybody gangsta until trumpets starts to play

Nearly 14 years later the mystique is still there. A empty world with nothing left but sorrow and death
