The worst thing about Minecraft is remembering the feeling you had while playing it for the first time, knowing that you won't experience it ever again
C418 did a spectacular Job on the soundtrack. I honestly don't think I would've had an as strong attachment to the game without it. Heck, I don't think I would have ever came back to the game without it.
In my opinion "Alpha" is one of the best music pieces, as it accompanies the End Poem and credits after you kill the ender dragon. It is 10 minutes long and one of the most emotional pieces in minecraft, being very well written
i started minecraft back when the nether reactor was a thing and when the actual nether came out, and i heard dead voxel. That is when i realized the grim reality of the at the time new place set in. Now, Voxel is just a reminder of an easier time, a time when we could all just hangout and have fun. Now look at us, stuck in the middle of a pandemic, Forced to wear a piece of cloth over our faces and leave our friends. God i miss 2011.
It's funny. Most people think of Minecraft and imagine the crazed community of annoying youtubers and 12-year-olds. I think of it and remember evenings spent mining or decorating my rustic little house in the woods.

i've said this before but i'll say it again: i'm gonna hear "The End" on my deathbed. the piano melody is so haunting, and it's also _exactly the same as Sweden's melody,_ just in an entirely different context.
this just shows all the end theories about how it is corrupted and it used to be maybe the aether and the dragon or some other thing corrupted it and turned the humans living there into endermen
"The End" is my favorite soundtrack of Minecraft, but I don’t listen to it a lot. Not because of the fact that it is 15 minutes long, but because of how powerful it is. It really plays with my emotions. Thank you for this video
My brother and I wanted to kill the Ender Dragon after a long time of holding it out in survival. When we finally came into the end and that exact song you mentioned came in, I recognised it from the full soundtrack, I recognised that it was that song, because it sounded like the normal Minecraft theme but distorted. Then when we took down all of the healing crystals, and we finally started with taking down the dragon, and at that moment the epic beat that I can't really describe kicked in. I don't know if you understand what I am talking about, listen to the soundtrack (The End) at around a little more then 8 minutes. While that music played, we fought the dragon and it was one of the most hypeful and at the same time very grand and terrifying moments we had ever had in the game. Hearing all those overworld songs again, all distorted but still recognisable, made the whole fight extra great and grand. Man this game gives you the feels...
This would actually explain the name of the song Ballad of the Cats. The cats are actually ghasts, so it really means, sad song of the ghasts. Which makes since even more, because of the advancement Uneasy Alliance. Ghasts are trapped in the nether. This is why they cry, and why their song is one of the most horrifying and heartbreaking.
The cat was asleep and they said that she sounds like a human when she is asleep there just so happened to be a mic where she decided to sleep so that’s how he got it
the Nether music was always my favorite, the atmosphere is just so heavy, its intimidating yet oddly relaxing at the same time. this soundtraack doesnt get enough appreciation. sure, people will say its good but never anything as in depth as this. great video man!
I always get a weird feel when I hear that same for the end I dont know why I just do maybe its the many memories of me dying pets dying and just nightmares
@@_havien3 Pigstep obviously doesn't fit in with the general atmosphere created by C418's and Lena Raine's other compositions for the Nether, but this song should by no means be taken as a part of the Nether's soundtrack. It's a music disc. You acquire it as a reward from clearing a specific location that would be otherwise impossible to obtain. Just like the other records, they're meant to be aspects of Minecraft's ost extrapolated and exaggerated to the nth degree. The same way pieces like Stal, Blocks, Cat, or Ward would be completely unfitting if they played as normal Minecraft music but work so well as records, Pigstep is too. You're allowed to still dislike Pigstep, of course, but I just felt like explaining why Pigstep shouldn't be disliked for the specific reason of "it's unfitting."
This video reminded me why I like watching breakdowns. You could have very easily filled this too the brim with out of context memes, awkward pauses and zoom-ins, along with lots of horrible puns. While not managing to make a single point. But you actually put effort into this. You tried too convey how each piece makes you feel. Even showing a bit of understanding of music yourself. This also clearly took some real effort. You should be applauded for conveying in a wonderful way what clearly means a lot too you. Thank you for that.
Yeah concrete halls reminds of exploring a nether fortress but I don’t have much memories related to dead voxel and concrete halls since I don’t bust nether a lot
Actually listening to the music from the end made me think of something. The nether isn’t another dimension, it’s just the planets mantle, hence the kinda similar but more grungy music. The music in the end is a distorted and jacked up version of the main theme. So what if the end isn’t another dimension, but the end. What if the end is what’s left of the planet, years and years into the future?
The Minecraft music is a masterpiece. The messages it delivers, the feelings it causes on ourselves, the ambience it gives to the players, all of them are unique and beautiful. Thanks C418
disc 13 is incredibly underrated. most people push it aside because its creepy, and it does a great job being creepy. the bells and sounds work really well to create a scary atmosphere. while i probably wont put it on when i find it in minecraft, as a song its amazing.
The way you delivered teh wake up line sent such strong chills through my body that i have never felt before. This is possibly the greatest youtube video i’ve ever watched
@@resiseven7407 This comment is five months old, but additionally it also plays at set times. You'll hear that noise at sunrise, noon, sunset, and midnight, so if you know roughly when you went into a cave what time it was, you can actually track how long you've been in the cave itself and roughly when it's safe to leave the cave and make a run back for your house!
The music prompts always creep me out/makes me feel alone in the world while also giving me the feeling someone is watching me in the shadows of the world somewhere. That's pretty much all I think about it. XD
Honestly when I listen to the Minecraft theme, I can just imagine open fields, forests, deserts and villages, with mobs just living their lives, looking and moving around, doing their usual stuff. Maybe sometimes I even see players, just doing their thing. I can only think of the words "what a wonderful world" when I hear it.
When I was about 12 I was playing minecraft with my brothers and my sisters and having a blast. We were building a house for my sister who had just joined us and fighting each other to see who was the best. That day has been one of my favorite memories by far, not because of the fun we had or who I was playing with, but because of the songs that played. All the songs from clark to Minecraft played and they just bring so much joy to me when I hear them. I feel like the songs aren't memories you can tweak but rather memories that are implanted and kept the same forever. And thats what makes the music so fascinating that every time you hear it you feel that feeling that almost everyone that has played minecraft have felt.
The End is one of my favourite tracks. I always turn on music whenever I spend hours in the End searching for End cities. The silence interrupted by this piece is just something else.
The most nostalgic Minecraft song for me is Mice on Venus. When I first started playing in Release 1.1, that song played while I was climbing a mountain.
Hey Liam, the 1.16 Java Nether Update will be bringing in new Ambient Sounds and a new Music Disc; all of which is composed by Lena Raines, Famous for the Celeste OST. Please consider doing an updated Music look when you've spent enough time in the Nether.
@@Kasmuller well it sounds cool,but yes it is different from the minecraft music we know of,but its like,a little different theme,ya know,something different from minecraft...but yes i wish C4 would make more music discs
15:40 See, that's very interesting, because instead of depressing I find that track reassuring, a brief moment of peace from the monsters wandering the halls. Minecraft's soundtrack, like the rest of the game, really is what you make it. :)
I was bullied a lot during my first years of school and I didn't get to play Minecraft a whole lot but I watched stamps every video, and he had the music in the background. it made my childhood easier to watch him so every nearly time I hear the Minecraft music I cry, because of all the emotions I had and are connected to it. now I have had Minecraft for nearly two years and I been playing it nearly all the time I have had the game
Dude, you are the only person I have seen on the internet to gush about the track "The End". That track is an absolute masterpiece and I find to be deeply moving, thanks for bringing recognition to this grossly underrated soundtrack.
"Dead Voxel" and "Concrete Halls" are the only two nether songs that I actually remember. Concrete Halls seems to always play when I'm at my local Nether fortress which is less than 100 blocks away from my Nether spawn and Dead Voxel seems to play when I'm doing anything else. Edit: fixed a mistake autocorrect caused
Minecraft is one of the things that I hold quite close to my heart and It always calms me when I hear its music! I want to personally thank you for making this video!
Exactly! When I played Minecraft for the first time, I had so weird, interesting and unexplainable feeling. I'm sad that I've never experienced this feeling again...
The first time I heard “The end”, I was sitting in my room at 12 pm with all the lights off while listening to the entire Minecraft soundtrack. It was an experience.
Because I have played Minecraft since I was a little kid, every time I hear any of these songs they instantly bring me back to times where I am playing Minecraft with my friends. It is a nostalgic feeling of that I will have attached to this great game for the rest of my life.
I’m a little sad that Alpha wasn’t mentioned here; I think it’s one of the best tracks in Volume Beta, however I’m glad you talked about The End. I never was particularly fond of this track just because of the white noise, but after hearing another opinion, I kinda like it now!
Cat is and will forever be the anthem of my childhood. I remember playing it all of the time when me and my brother completely overhauled and reconstructed a village from the ground up together. I was hardly any good, given my young age, but it was fun and I’ll always look back so fondly on it.
This is actually one of my favourite RUclips videos. Even though I’ve heard all the songs many times the way you describe them is so well done. That end song literally gave me goosebumps even though I’ve heard it before
God... i was not expecting to ugly cry after watching the end of this video. The reading of the End poem got me. I forgot the message of that, and hearing it again really drove home the message to live my life how I want to. Life is short. Too short. Shorter than you, the reader, may think. I’m already 19 years old, and it almost seems like yesterday when I was playing outside with my little brother on our tricycles and playing Minecraft for the first time. I realize that life moves fast. Too fast. To quote Ferris Bueler’s Day Off: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Thank you so much for this video. Minecraft means the world to me, and with the Nether and End tracks and the End poem, I realized what a masterpiece C418 has crafted for me and so many others. I’m gonna go life my life now, and make music, which I’ve wanted to do for years. Your video is one of the reasons I’m finally gonna live life like it’ll be gone tomorrow. Thank you, I truly mean it so much. Peace.
As a guy who's brother helped with the game...During 2011, I know this music through and through, I'm deeply connected to the game. And for all 11 years of playing, I've enjoyed it through all these years. This music is the one thing in minecraft that hasn't changed, Other than new music being added, This really IS the soundtrack to my life in this game. And one i will connect with for years more to come.
The End was AMAZING as it set the feeling for the islands ahead, it took a completely encompassed how I felt when I entered for the first time in Survival. When the heavier synth began to kick in, I was amped up to finally escape. I do want to hear one thing though: What do you think of the new Nether tracks? I'm always interested in all the varied synths and the fact that they seem to fit greatly with different biomes there. Lena Raine was the perfect person for the job, she know how to create emotional tracks no matter what the instruments. It reminded me of many experiences, from Starbound's "Tranquility Base" to Black Mesa: Xen's "Hunting Grounds".
The soundtrack that plays when you're in creative mode is the most nostalgic to me. I think that's just because I've always preferred that mode when I was younger.
I just came here to say what a beautiful essay this was. I seriously cried watching this video, thinking about all the old memories I have, playing this game all night... Letting me create whatever I wanted, to build a world I saw as ideal. I recently got back into playing Minecraft. It was so overwhelming going to a specific world I had put so much time and effort and love into. Walking through the seaside village I had created. I definitely shed a tear.
But I don’t want to go.. I know.. but sometimes leaving knowing you’ve accomplished something is the best way to end it all.. Sometimes knowing the universe loves you is enough. Sometimes knowing you made someone happy is enough But.. you still need to _wake up_
When I was younger I found the music quite eerie so I would often mute it or just turn the tv down (xbox 360 edition) so I couldnt hear it, now I listen to it in videos like this or when I occasionally play and I feel so nostalgic. It takes me back to a simplier time when I would play with my friends and we'd (attempt) to build cities and get as many diamonds as we could. I miss those simplier times and so Minecraft and its music is like a comfort now. It truly is such a great game.
Suggestion: Understanding the MUSIC of EarthBound Also, I never realized how great Minecraft’s soundtrack is. And I really liked how you correlated the gameplay footage with the music examples, great work Liam!
I was part of the OG crowd from 2012, and I never stopped playing. The game means so much to me, because it has shaped who I am in such a profound way that I could never live without it.
I have already watched a bunch of your other videos, but I never noticed this one. today it appeared in my recommended feed. the only thing I can say is thank you. it's so long since last I read the end screen in Minecraft, and I forgot what it said. hearing this is the best thing that could happen to me at this point. I have been suicidal for months now and hearing this positivity is really what helps. thank you. your channel is amazing. not only for me, but for many others. not only this video, but many others. God bless you
this is what different Minecraft songs remind me of ( this is just my opinion:) ) Floating trees: it just reminds me of something Sweden: getting out of a group of mobs after finally finding your house Haggstrom: a calming music piece that reminds me of a Christmas world I used to play. Mice on Venus: logging on your old Minecraft survival let’s play after 5-7 years. Key: being out in space Chirp: a nostalgic piece of music that makes me feel like playing Minecraft Xbox 360 again Cat: a beat that has a good wave of nostalgia Ward: an 80s arcade game then just a song. Like I said this is just my opinion and I did not include all of the Minecraft songs because that would take forever.
I am a veteran, in 2020, and well, this vid made me feel really Nostalgic, I mean I almost cried, all the good times I had in the game back then, I remember I was so excited to get it when I was little, just brings back the best memories, and I would ALWAYS, watch DanTdm XD, Hmm, Thank you so muxh for this vid bro, brought back many GREAT memories, just the songs made me feel this way, Like if u feel the same
i really appreciate that you have very specific gameplay memories that you shared relating to specific songs. having started playing minecraft in 2009 when i was 10 or 11 years old i can hardly remember what i was doing ingame when i heard these songs for the first time. but these songs do remind me of a time... a time when the grass was neon green. and there LITERALLY was no end to the game. simpler times...
Holy crap dude. I've been meditating on how the music of minecraft makes me feel in every aspect of the way it presents itself. Everyday it haunted and stung me in the back of my mind with sweet and sour notes of nostalgia day after day, nostalgia and hopelessness... Nostalagia and hope and multiple shades of melancholic dissonance between reality and realm of thought, distractions etc. Nostalgia and melancholic attitude more complex theb the typical comments on youtube videos about remembering minecraft, it felt as if I was experiencing a glimpse of the conscious afterlife and the before-life and life beyond where I know not where it leads or how far it goes. I contemplated my life and meaning in general because of how the music reacted with intellect and spirit if I even have one. But anyways, I know I sound high off my marbles but I felt I should express myself and share a deeper thought beyond typical youtube comment thought. What I wanted to say earlier before I faded into an absurdism type rant, I just wanted to let you know that this video has helped me understand minecrafts music but also part of the hidden meaning I feel it has personally to me. Sorry for the pointless rant, cheers.
I felt the end music was about how ancient builders lived there, which is the overworld theme, but was glitches out. They try their best to get out but we're traped no matter what. Soon enough they began to transform and change into the endermen. They remembered many things. Their creations, their discoveries and their adventures now no more. They were in constant torment, pain and suffering until you freed them. But by doing that you might have done somthing that wasn't ment to be undone. This comment is based upon the theory of the endermen being the ancient race of builders and that the new mob and biome was the old end, sealed away thanks to the Ender Dragon. Thank you for making this video. You have opened my eyes to more theory's about minecraft and what it has become. This is also coming from a mincraft fan. I played the game seince I was a kid. This really brought back so many memories. Thank you once again for this video and your insight on Minecraft's music and what they mean.
Something this video helped me do was contextualize my relationship with Minecraft. I played all the time as a kid, and I associate many of the older tracks (like Minecraft and Sweden) with “the good old days” of watching Minecraft videos on RUclips from beta. Listening to them brings back memories of that time, of building a house entirely out of wool and glass in Creative because I thought that was the kind of house I would like. And when I stopped, that was the beginning of one of the darkest times in my life. I fell out with every friend I had. I had resigned myself to being insignificant, unwanted.... Alone. When I came back to Minecraft, I was in a somewhat better place. The new songs welcomed me in, along with the nostalgic tracks bringing back nostalgia. I had new friends, a new reason to play the game, and more ideas beyond my younger self. Even though I haven’t played in a week and a half, I know I’ll come back. And then, listening to this video, I had that revelation. I understood it. I was the universe. The universe meant something. I mean something. I don’t like it when people say “this video/creator was the only thing keeping me alive in this time period”, but I will say thy this video helped me change my worldview. Thank you.
It's rare that I comment on videos outside of my own but I just wanted to say that this video and the one on health's max payne 3 soundtrack were fantastic and id love to see more. This video genuinely made me cry and id love if you continued making videos about game soundtracks. The recent portal video is great too
We actually dont deserve this man the way you explained everything the way you just made this whole video i cried so much the memories i have made and still as a old member of the community i come back to play minecraft with friends ty for making this ur a legend
Just found this video, and its amazing dude. Also, every time I hear The End I get chills man Also- man, that ending poem is so good (And the music that plays through it)
I don't know if this is what you were going for with this video, but I think you just gave me a revelation. Towards the end of when you were reading the universe thing I didn't just feel chills, I felt my entire body tense up. This video helped me realize something really important and make a change in my life for the better. Thank you.
The analogy of survival mode feeling more grounded and the free-floating feeling of creative mode was really, really good. This is an amazingly in-depth video. I'd never thought of it that way before but it makes so much sense.
“Alpha” is my favorite composition ever. Its just so... amazing. Breathtaking at times, the crescendo of strings at around the 3 minute mark is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. Having the Sweden motif play at the very end was just so much of a gut punch for me when I listened to it for the first time. It was the first song that had ever made me cry.
The song Alpha that plays in the credits makes me cry every time I hear it, all the countless hours I've spent in this block game. Reminds me of all the found times with friends. Reminds me of the first time I played the game on the PC Gamer Demo Version, the mix of the main songs like Sweden and Minecraft just make Alpha all the more special. It tells the entire story of the player, without even telling the story. It makes you feel like you're special, and everything you do in the game has affected you.

I think what is great is the fact that the music doesn't non stop play while playing, so when it does, you appreciate it and it never gets annoying.
I did actually turn of music at some point, but after a while I truned it on again because they're nice and well written, plus I have memories
Sometimes I wait for the music to start up again. It is lonely without it.
It was nearly constant on legacy console
@@MitsuIsSleepy yeah, and god damn loud too
Classic feeling. Haggstrom atop the hill.
Falling asleep to the soundtrack sounds like a cool idea until you wake up in the middle of night during disc 13 and never sleep again
Or disc 11

I could listen to Eleven, not 11 but Eleven
I sleep to creative music

The worst thing about Minecraft is remembering the feeling you had while playing it for the first time, knowing that you won't experience it ever again
that’s not even really a bad thing, as the memory will always stay with you and bring you joy again. at least, that’s how it is for me.
That's a good thing because I was really scared of everything. Night, monsters , cave sounds, even villagers.
I can't ever get my Original world back, the X box it was on was destroyed, and we ended up throwing it away
I don't even remember the first time I played it, and now I know I can't relive it
I feel like that's another thing the song The End is trying to capture, not being able to relive your past and having to create new memories.
C418 did a spectacular Job on the soundtrack. I honestly don't think I would've had an as strong attachment to the game without it. Heck, I don't think I would have ever came back to the game without it.

I felt so much when the end theme kicked in
Whenever Sweden or Wet Hands comes on, I pretty much lose my shit

Same the nether songs and the end are soo impactful I love
Fun fact: Ghasts were voiced by cats; so whenever you listen to a ghast or the song with one in the background, think of a annoyed cat.

Which makes since even more, because of the advancement Uneasy Alliance. Ghasts are trapped in the nether. This is why they cry, and why their song is one of the most horrifying and heartbreaking.

Actually listening to the music from the end made me think of something. The nether isn’t another dimension, it’s just the planets mantle, hence the kinda similar but more grungy music. The music in the end is a distorted and jacked up version of the main theme. So what if the end isn’t another dimension, but the end. What if the end is what’s left of the planet, years and years into the future?
Actually from the games point the nether is the underworld of the overworld and the end is above.
HorrorFan 8785 and from our point of view, earths mantle is the underworld. What’s your point?
HorrorFan 8785 are you suggesting that the end is heaven, or just plain old space?
HorrorFan 8785 I guess considering the mysteries in Minecraft that wouldn’t be too far off either.
I'm saying that the nether is underneath bedrock and the end is above the world aka space
that ending really overpowered me with emotion. wow.
You are the player.Wake up
The Minecraft music is a masterpiece. The messages it delivers, the feelings it causes on ourselves, the ambience it gives to the players, all of them are unique and beautiful. Thanks C418
disc 13 is incredibly underrated. most people push it aside because its creepy, and it does a great job being creepy. the bells and sounds work really well to create a scary atmosphere. while i probably wont put it on when i find it in minecraft, as a song its amazing.
i'm too much of a wuss to listen to it fully
The Ambiance during spelunking is more froghtening.
I think the music of the end is creepy
Uh, I wouldn’t count it as music but okay.
@@vibrantyt you are a disgrace to humanity
The way you delivered teh wake up line sent such strong chills through my body that i have never felt before. This is possibly the greatest youtube video i’ve ever watched
Same!!!
I still want to understand who put creepy noises at random in the game.
Amonimus it plays in unlit caves. if you hear any of the sounds, it means theres a cave nearby :)
@@resiseven7407 This comment is five months old, but additionally it also plays at set times. You'll hear that noise at sunrise, noon, sunset, and midnight, so if you know roughly when you went into a cave what time it was, you can actually track how long you've been in the cave itself and roughly when it's safe to leave the cave and make a run back for your house!
Kaytehh holy shit, that's so cool! thank you for the info
C418 was a great troll

The music prompts always creep me out/makes me feel alone in the world while also giving me the feeling someone is watching me in the shadows of the world somewhere. That's pretty much all I think about it. XD
Yeah, sometimes it can be relaxing and nostalgic but other times it can feel kinda lonely and creepy
Whenever i hear the end music , i feel someone watching me .
@@fishfood8711
I really want to get rid of that lonely creepy feel so I can vibe to some Minecraft Ost
Finally someone acknowledged the amazing nether music while talking about the soundtrack
Honestly when I listen to the Minecraft theme, I can just imagine open fields, forests, deserts and villages, with mobs just living their lives, looking and moving around, doing their usual stuff. Maybe sometimes I even see players, just doing their thing. I can only think of the words "what a wonderful world" when I hear it.
It truly is a wonderful world
A peaceful life .
When I was about 12 I was playing minecraft with my brothers and my sisters and having a blast. We were building a house for my sister who had just joined us and fighting each other to see who was the best. That day has been one of my favorite memories by far, not because of the fun we had or who I was playing with, but because of the songs that played. All the songs from clark to Minecraft played and they just bring so much joy to me when I hear them. I feel like the songs aren't memories you can tweak but rather memories that are implanted and kept the same forever. And thats what makes the music so fascinating that every time you hear it you feel that feeling that almost everyone that has played minecraft have felt.
The End is one of my favourite tracks. I always turn on music whenever I spend hours in the End searching for End cities. The silence interrupted by this piece is just something else.
The most nostalgic Minecraft song for me is Mice on Venus. When I first started playing in Release 1.1, that song played while I was climbing a mountain.
Hey Liam, the 1.16 Java Nether Update will be bringing in new Ambient Sounds and a new Music Disc; all of which is composed by Lena Raines, Famous for the Celeste OST. Please consider doing an updated Music look when you've spent enough time in the Nether.
i really want to know the deep meaning about life in P I G S T E P
The new öusic just iant the same
Its only there to make you feel unpleasant, line being in hell
@@willemboele2079 Don't we all...
@@Kasmuller well it sounds cool,but yes it is different from the minecraft music we know of,but its like,a little different theme,ya know,something different from minecraft...but yes i wish C4 would make more music discs
15:40 See, that's very interesting, because instead of depressing I find that track reassuring, a brief moment of peace from the monsters wandering the halls. Minecraft's soundtrack, like the rest of the game, really is what you make it. :)
And for me I was told of the nether update (which I was wanting) and it started playing shortly after, so I inyerpret it as hopeful.
Yea, this is quite interesting, as I find it is sort of inspiring, and invokes bravery to tackle a new challenge.
is this...
it this a video that acknowledges the existence of volume beta?
impossible!
whats...volume... beta?????????
iLvL it’s a playlist that involves Dead Voxel, Concrete Halls, Aria Math, Taswell and Mall, among others.
Basically the one with all the creative mode songs. I was surprised to find out people didn’t like it. Eh, taste is taste.
I’ve forgotten how HAUNTING the music was in this game. Holy shit. 😭
Great video, man! 👏
Haunt Muskie was haunting you? XD
I was bullied a lot during my first years of school and I didn't get to play Minecraft a whole lot but I watched stamps every video, and he had the music in the background. it made my childhood easier to watch him so every nearly time I hear the Minecraft music I cry, because of all the emotions I had and are connected to it. now I have had Minecraft for nearly two years and I been playing it nearly all the time I have had the game
Feeling a bit depressed now. But this video and Minecraft music made my night so much happier. Thanks much
I mean this video made me a little sad cuz it reminds me of everything I did in Minecraft (all platforms) and now that is just memories..
Dude, you are the only person I have seen on the internet to gush about the track "The End". That track is an absolute masterpiece and I find to be deeply moving, thanks for bringing recognition to this grossly underrated soundtrack.
"Dead Voxel" and "Concrete Halls" are the only two nether songs that I actually remember. Concrete Halls seems to always play when I'm at my local Nether fortress which is less than 100 blocks away from my Nether spawn and Dead Voxel seems to play when I'm doing anything else.
Edit: fixed a mistake autocorrect caused
Have you heard “ballad of the cats”
You didn’t only help me understand the music of Minecraft but you helped me understand myself better.

Minecraft is one of the things that I hold quite close to my heart and It always calms me when I hear its music! I want to personally thank you for making this video!
Exactly! When I played Minecraft for the first time, I had so weird, interesting and unexplainable feeling. I'm sad that I've never experienced this feeling again...
The first time I heard “The end”, I was sitting in my room at 12 pm with all the lights off while listening to the entire Minecraft soundtrack. It was an experience.
Actual title: how one man made a generation cry
Because I have played Minecraft since I was a little kid, every time I hear any of these songs they instantly bring me back to times where I am playing Minecraft with my friends. It is a nostalgic feeling of that I will have attached to this great game for the rest of my life.
I remember when I was 7, I played Sweden for my Piano Recital
Did it go well?
Joy Stone yea
@@andrewkalustian You’re a legend
I'm so proud of you
I’m a little sad that Alpha wasn’t mentioned here; I think it’s one of the best tracks in Volume Beta, however I’m glad you talked about The End. I never was particularly fond of this track just because of the white noise, but after hearing another opinion, I kinda like it now!
Cat is and will forever be the anthem of my childhood. I remember playing it all of the time when me and my brother completely overhauled and reconstructed a village from the ground up together. I was hardly any good, given my young age, but it was fun and I’ll always look back so fondly on it.
This is actually one of my favourite RUclips videos. Even though I’ve heard all the songs many times the way you describe them is so well done. That end song literally gave me goosebumps even though I’ve heard it before
God... i was not expecting to ugly cry after watching the end of this video. The reading of the End poem got me. I forgot the message of that, and hearing it again really drove home the message to live my life how I want to. Life is short. Too short. Shorter than you, the reader, may think. I’m already 19 years old, and it almost seems like yesterday when I was playing outside with my little brother on our tricycles and playing Minecraft for the first time. I realize that life moves fast. Too fast.
To quote Ferris Bueler’s Day Off:
“Life moves pretty fast.
If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
Thank you so much for this video. Minecraft means the world to me, and with the Nether and End tracks and the End poem, I realized what a masterpiece C418 has crafted for me and so many others.
I’m gonna go life my life now, and make music, which I’ve wanted to do for years.
Your video is one of the reasons I’m finally gonna live life like it’ll be gone tomorrow.
Thank you, I truly mean it so much.
Peace.
Gl in life mate :)
Shame you didnt mention taswell, Its one of the most interesting tracks i've ever heard
What an anthem that track is, easily the best of the creative tracks
As a guy who's brother helped with the game...During 2011, I know this music through and through, I'm deeply connected to the game. And for all 11 years of playing, I've enjoyed it through all these years. This music is the one thing in minecraft that hasn't changed, Other than new music being added, This really IS the soundtrack to my life in this game. And one i will connect with for years more to come.
That's story of the horse Hit me hard...
The End was AMAZING as it set the feeling for the islands ahead, it took a completely encompassed how I felt when I entered for the first time in Survival. When the heavier synth began to kick in, I was amped up to finally escape.
I do want to hear one thing though: What do you think of the new Nether tracks? I'm always interested in all the varied synths and the fact that they seem to fit greatly with different biomes there. Lena Raine was the perfect person for the job, she know how to create emotional tracks no matter what the instruments. It reminded me of many experiences, from Starbound's "Tranquility Base" to Black Mesa: Xen's "Hunting Grounds".
The soundtrack that plays when you're in creative mode is the most nostalgic to me. I think that's just because I've always preferred that mode when I was younger.
Wait is underrated, so is the nether music. The end song clearly has meaning, but it’s freaking irritating. The credits song sounds great.
Correct
Chirp isn't covered enough, me am sad.
I disagree with what you said about “The End” but everything else i agree with.
the end sounds like something the caretaker made
Ward is my favorite, when it hits that key change it's bliss
The "The End" songs genuinely disturb me
This is my favorite review of the soundtrack, purely because of his review/illustration of The End.
I just came here to say what a beautiful essay this was. I seriously cried watching this video, thinking about all the old memories I have, playing this game all night... Letting me create whatever I wanted, to build a world I saw as ideal. I recently got back into playing Minecraft. It was so overwhelming going to a specific world I had put so much time and effort and love into. Walking through the seaside village I had created. I definitely shed a tear.
That end bit chilled me, not in like a scary way, just super powerful. Absolutely fantastic video.
"Aria Math" has to be my favourite
Although, "Living Mice" is a very close second
But I don’t want to go..
I know.. but sometimes leaving knowing you’ve accomplished something is the best way to end it all.. Sometimes knowing the universe loves you is enough. Sometimes knowing you made someone happy is enough
But.. you still need to _wake up_
This makes me so sad ugh
When I was younger I found the music quite eerie so I would often mute it or just turn the tv down (xbox 360 edition) so I couldnt hear it, now I listen to it in videos like this or when I occasionally play and I feel so nostalgic. It takes me back to a simplier time when I would play with my friends and we'd (attempt) to build cities and get as many diamonds as we could. I miss those simplier times and so Minecraft and its music is like a comfort now. It truly is such a great game.
Suggestion: Understanding the MUSIC of EarthBound
Also, I never realized how great Minecraft’s soundtrack is. And I really liked how you correlated the gameplay footage with the music examples, great work Liam!
I was part of the OG crowd from 2012, and I never stopped playing. The game means so much to me, because it has shaped who I am in such a profound way that I could never live without it.

I actually can cry from the nostalgia these songs bring. I can explain the feel of it. It's just beautiful!
I remember playing on a survival world with a friend where we had reached the dragon fight and as he shot the dragon dead the beat drop of cat played
9:32 I love the relaxing music being played over the torture that is that background footage
The ending of minecraft is one of my favorite pieces of literature or just presentations of literature that I've experienced. It's utterly beautiful.
I don't know what i like more, either what the video is talking about or the survival gameplay in the background...
I have already watched a bunch of your other videos, but I never noticed this one. today it appeared in my recommended feed. the only thing I can say is thank you. it's so long since last I read the end screen in Minecraft, and I forgot what it said. hearing this is the best thing that could happen to me at this point. I have been suicidal for months now and hearing this positivity is really what helps. thank you. your channel is amazing. not only for me, but for many others. not only this video, but many others. God bless you
this is what different Minecraft songs remind me of
( this is just my opinion:) )
Floating trees: it just reminds me of something
Sweden: getting out of a group of mobs after finally finding your house
Haggstrom: a calming music piece that reminds me of a Christmas world I used to play.
Mice on Venus: logging on your old Minecraft survival let’s play after 5-7 years.
Key: being out in space
Chirp: a nostalgic piece of music that makes me feel like playing Minecraft Xbox 360 again
Cat: a beat that has a good wave of nostalgia
Ward: an 80s arcade game then just a song.
Like I said this is just my opinion and I did not include all of the Minecraft songs because that would take forever.
Theme of The End is just sounds of world ending and rebuilding, but rebuilding with flaws
From Building a gigantic Factory-Like Farm filled village to decorating a little house by the church, these songs encapsulate everything. Great video.
I am a veteran, in 2020, and well, this vid made me feel really Nostalgic, I mean I almost cried, all the good times I had in the game back then, I remember I was so excited to get it when I was little, just brings back the best memories, and I would ALWAYS, watch DanTdm XD, Hmm, Thank you so muxh for this vid bro, brought back many GREAT memories, just the songs made me feel this way, Like if u feel the same
i really appreciate that you have very specific gameplay memories that you shared relating to specific songs. having started playing minecraft in 2009 when i was 10 or 11 years old i can hardly remember what i was doing ingame when i heard these songs for the first time. but these songs do remind me of a time... a time when the grass was neon green. and there LITERALLY was no end to the game. simpler times...
Holy crap dude. I've been meditating on how the music of minecraft makes me feel in every aspect of the way it presents itself. Everyday it haunted and stung me in the back of my mind with sweet and sour notes of nostalgia day after day, nostalgia and hopelessness... Nostalagia and hope and multiple shades of melancholic dissonance between reality and realm of thought, distractions etc. Nostalgia and melancholic attitude more complex theb the typical comments on youtube videos about remembering minecraft, it felt as if I was experiencing a glimpse of the conscious afterlife and the before-life and life beyond where I know not where it leads or how far it goes. I contemplated my life and meaning in general because of how the music reacted with intellect and spirit if I even have one. But anyways, I know I sound high off my marbles but I felt I should express myself and share a deeper thought beyond typical youtube comment thought. What I wanted to say earlier before I faded into an absurdism type rant, I just wanted to let you know that this video has helped me understand minecrafts music but also part of the hidden meaning I feel it has personally to me. Sorry for the pointless rant, cheers.
I felt the end music was about how ancient builders lived there, which is the overworld theme, but was glitches out. They try their best to get out but we're traped no matter what. Soon enough they began to transform and change into the endermen. They remembered many things. Their creations, their discoveries and their adventures now no more. They were in constant torment, pain and suffering until you freed them. But by doing that you might have done somthing that wasn't ment to be undone. This comment is based upon the theory of the endermen being the ancient race of builders and that the new mob and biome was the old end, sealed away thanks to the Ender Dragon. Thank you for making this video. You have opened my eyes to more theory's about minecraft and what it has become. This is also coming from a mincraft fan. I played the game seince I was a kid. This really brought back so many memories. Thank you once again for this video and your insight on Minecraft's music and what they mean.
This music...why am I crying right now?
Something this video helped me do was contextualize my relationship with Minecraft. I played all the time as a kid, and I associate many of the older tracks (like Minecraft and Sweden) with “the good old days” of watching Minecraft videos on RUclips from beta. Listening to them brings back memories of that time, of building a house entirely out of wool and glass in Creative because I thought that was the kind of house I would like. And when I stopped, that was the beginning of one of the darkest times in my life. I fell out with every friend I had. I had resigned myself to being insignificant, unwanted....
Alone.
When I came back to Minecraft, I was in a somewhat better place. The new songs welcomed me in, along with the nostalgic tracks bringing back nostalgia. I had new friends, a new reason to play the game, and more ideas beyond my younger self. Even though I haven’t played in a week and a half, I know I’ll come back.
And then, listening to this video, I had that revelation. I understood it. I was the universe. The universe meant something. I mean something. I don’t like it when people say “this video/creator was the only thing keeping me alive in this time period”, but I will say thy this video helped me change my worldview. Thank you.
It's rare that I comment on videos outside of my own but I just wanted to say that this video and the one on health's max payne 3 soundtrack were fantastic and id love to see more. This video genuinely made me cry and id love if you continued making videos about game soundtracks. The recent portal video is great too
We actually dont deserve this man the way you explained everything the way you just made this whole video i cried so much the memories i have made and still as a old member of the community i come back to play minecraft with friends ty for making this ur a legend
"To me, it's not Minecraft until that music starts fading in" -jschlatt
Just found this video, and its amazing dude. Also, every time I hear The End I get chills man
Also- man, that ending poem is so good
(And the music that plays through it)
...also, the more peaceful tracks sound even more amazing when it's raining : )
Its a asmr overload to me. So darn relaxing
I don't know if this is what you were going for with this video, but I think you just gave me a revelation. Towards the end of when you were reading the universe thing I didn't just feel chills, I felt my entire body tense up. This video helped me realize something really important and make a change in my life for the better. Thank you.
"The End" song gives me chills and when it said Wake up in the credits I shUddereD
the fact that both bfg divison from doom 2016 and sweden from minecraft make me start to tear up is a testament to the power of music.
I felt the nostalgia when you were in that cave in the beta versions
The analogy of survival mode feeling more grounded and the free-floating feeling of creative mode was really, really good. This is an amazingly in-depth video. I'd never thought of it that way before but it makes so much sense.

“Alpha” is my favorite composition ever. Its just so... amazing. Breathtaking at times, the crescendo of strings at around the 3 minute mark is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. Having the Sweden motif play at the very end was just so much of a gut punch for me when I listened to it for the first time. It was the first song that had ever made me cry.
"Sweden" will always mean a lot to me as it was the first song I remember hearing in Minecraft
this in my 15 years of life is the only youtube video that made me cry
This music is immortal. It represents the past present and the future.its a timeless masterpiece that will never be forgotten.
The song Alpha that plays in the credits makes me cry every time I hear it, all the countless hours I've spent in this block game. Reminds me of all the found times with friends. Reminds me of the first time I played the game on the PC Gamer Demo Version, the mix of the main songs like Sweden and Minecraft just make Alpha all the more special. It tells the entire story of the player, without even telling the story. It makes you feel like you're special, and everything you do in the game has affected you.
The soundtrack of the End made me sweat. What a masterpiece. It is a so intense story/mystery.
