Better be early to reply
To answer your question: yes! I can fully sing the entire song from memory, it's so good and catchy! However, the Stupendium's singing voice is too low for me to match, so when singing along I stick to just the turrets', Alyx's and GLaDOS' parts 😁
I’m just gonna leave this here and 5th
Ik
I just realised how empty everything is... like a liminal space. Gives me the vibe of alone that both Portal and Half-Life give to the player
*the dark room in gm_construct*
Your saying that like you just realized the video has always been like that. But this is supposed to be empty by removing all the characters.
Like the it just work, instrumental.
@@darinmorris4917 Was too busy vibing to notice the lack of characters
All source games if you play them in single player are like that.For example gmod is soo fucking creepy because you are used to the maps from half life to be full of npcs and things but.. they are empty. Just you and the map
"Is this what you've been waiting for?"
YES
Of course it is :)
333 likes i willnt like it just for this to be a message
"Say one, two.... and four"
@@TerabyteOcto i dont know i just found it on reddit
Say one two, and four.
Valve has finally counted to 3. steam deck will run Steam OS 3.0
No bloody way
hell yeah half life 3 in the toilet babeeeeeeeeeeeeee
This is revolutionary
Holy Mary, mother of Joseph!
Dear God...
Chell and Gordon's voiceover is so beautiful.
Yes
ikr, especially their singing in 0:09, so beautiful
@@sfosac gordon only started at 00:14 and chell much later this doesnt make sense
@@anemiropenguin2241 thats the joke
1:52 is the Peak Part.
Finally someone filmed Valve's offices during the pandemic
Nah they’re just filming the people who are working on tf2
@Rami Aboud ironically, 3 people actually.
@@jerrycebrero5377 what the fuck is that thing
how do you pronounce it
what kind of person types in a reverse E? that doesn't exist
@@teedeegremlin I think you pronounce it "more than 2,less than 4"...? I think, IDK
@@ImranLokman Something between 2 and 4? Hmm.
One has to appreciate how the audience has no hesitation to say "Three". No repetition, no subversion, just going for it when the rhyme calls for it.
Ikr! It was so butter smooth it surprised me when it happened. So satisfying.
My favorite part is when the pop-corn vibes to the tune on its own.
mine was when the shovel decided to burn some money
@@bruttocane ooh it was nice too
@@teedeegremlin valve but its possed
@@outzymes3636 The ghost of Zepheniah Mann strikes again.

I love how the song constantly switches between jazz and electro-swing.
My 2 favorite genres mashed into 1. Can't get any better!
epic for some op gameplay
li'll bit of big band in there too I think
The secret is that electro-swing IS jazz
@@emeraldnickel I meant like, Big Bang jazz but yeah
I love the detail in the background of getting rid of all of the Characters.
I also tried many ways in Adobe Audition to get a good instrumental of this so thank you!
they even photoshopped gaben out of the studio haha
@@Sukadia ngl I'd think gaben just provided uncut footage where he sits down first / stands up at the end and they use that
0:47 A soul that’s actually now free
That time when all humans just died out and you're alone...
So... Portal 2?
nah man this is legit fucking follow freeman without the people
That happens to me all Thursdays I HATE it.
FUCK YEAH! NEW INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC FOR STUDY TIME
Yaaaaaa
Yessir!
When you try to study only to end up dancing:
When you start singing because you already learned the lyrics
Imagine... Valve is waiting until they've made the third game for every one of their games. Then they release them all.
the orange box 2 featuring half life 3, team fortress 3 and portal 3
@@King-xx3jf Valve has said there is no portal 3
Portal has ended
@@ahmed4363
Yea since the portal gun went to space as seen in the portal 2 ending
@@Fact_core I didn't even realize that
@@ahmed4363 they COULD pull a one, two, and four on us and release portal 4
This music is awesome, the perfect mix of electro-swing, a little of orcherstral and some jazz on top with added gamer jokes, its insane how everything fits so well !
This sounds like something Caravan Palace would make. In other words: good stuff.
It's something called electroswing. It's a genre.
@@Querez8504 I keep my word.
@@nunoosorio3832 Well yeah, I can't argue against that.
Yeah, it reminds me a little bit bit of 'Rock it for me'.
I love that the popcorn is still there, even if the audience isn’t
This looks so depressing without all the characters...
Like all valve games in multiplayer when online is 0 player
Imagine that they all went on a lunch break.
Valve HQ (live video)
The absolute state of Valve
This really helps me realize how ridiculously detailed the backgrounds are.
The instruments playing together so good I treat it as a separate song because you can’t really tell underneath the voices
@@Thumb_ That's true, it's hard to tell.
0:00 at first I didn't realize, but those two notes are from the Valve guy intro!
Yep! This song is so filled with references I didn't get the "life gave you lemons" SUNG BY GLADOS until I heard it a few times.
Yeah me either I didn’t notice it until I saw the instrumental version
Is this what you've been waiting for?
Say "One, two... and four"!
This time you're bound to count to
This time you're bound to count to
This time you're bound to count to
Guess what comes after
Hi again, I'm Gabe N
A fan of shooters, wizard of computers and a handsome man
(Your grandfather used to blather 'bout him a thousand years ago)
Wasn't easy keeping busy
Every season brings another reason not to make a game
(Oh, why bother, just another wasted day in the studio)
I had it all but tried new things, true
It didn't get us very far
Between controllers and machines you
Still picked a rusty old crowbar
Nobody sees beyond my sharming self
A soul that's never truly free
So, just for once, forget the summer sale
And give it up for Half-Life... Alyx
The valve's been stuck corroded by the money
Has not been oiled for years
We didn't even hope to see it running
But now you're bound to learn how to
But now you're bound to learn how to
This time you're bound to count to three!
This time you're bound to count to
This time you're bound to count to
This time you're bound to count to
Guess what's coming after
Well, here we are again
Except we're long forgotten
My circuits niggling up and down my spine
He said it's worth the wait
His weight keeps pressing harder
But Alyx gave us hope - we'll rise and shine!
For soulless card games and hardware releases
The light's been turning green
Life gave you lemons - take them out the freezer
This time you're bound to learn how to
This time you're bound to learn how to
This time you're bound to count
These numbers are intimidating
It's hard to give a fresh new start
When everyone's anticipating
Another masterpiece of art
If this machine keeps playing dead
We may end up on the other side
So hold on to all your hats
Let's show 'em a triple-A done right!
The valve's been stuck corroded by the money
But after many years
We can't believe the engine started running
This time he's bound to count to three!
Full steam ahead, we'll end this idle running
Let's give the valve a spin!
We've got some work to do, so take this, honey
This time you're bound to learn how to
This time you're bound to learn how to
This time you're bound to count to three
Damn, thanks!
I have tried to actually sing along to it but it's f***ing hard. It's still a banger. I listened to the non instrumental version on repeat for almost an hour and the only reason I stopped is because my phone died. 😁
Ikr... Gabe's lines felt almost rap-like in terms of speed... And I do mean old-school rap, not that nuisance that modern rap is.
Wow. I’m good.
@@spakeschannel This is eight months late i realise probably more but go and check out The Stupendium if you haven't. They have impressive rap speed.
its amazing how easy this is to sing along too~ this is truly a masterpiece!
Pretty good animation in the background.
What animation?
Even without the characters, its still great art.
@@homerocketscience1874 Elevator, the ghost shovel, and the popcorn are all still in motion
I admire the instrumental arrangement of this song, so hearing it without the vocals is even more enlightening.
One could almost ask if there is sheet music existing to it ;-)
I like how everything is removed, except for the popcorn in the front row that's still bouncing to the beat haha
Imagine if this song gets into Portal 3 credits
it would be awesome
God that would be amazing, too bad it would never happen.
Edit: portal 3 that is, they have the humour to add it
It would be fantastic
yehh!
I think you mean portal alyx
I've heard it so often that an audio track is enough for me to hear them.
I’ve been WAITING FOR THIS!
HOIII :D
@@omundodevictorcalixtodelim9752 Hoi am temi :3
They took time to remove all the characters on screen and rearrange things that they were holding or doing so that they didn't look so out of place.
So the entire video is just a empty, soulless facility. Filled with nothing but robots and... Wait this sounds familiar.
The flying shovel though. But yeah it did feel a bit like Portal 1.
2:09 is the start of tf2 realistic pt 7
yes das used this
Love it how you removed every character singing from the music video great touch.
This became my background music in 4secs, I will watch this over and over and over when ever I hop on a game or my PC or anything like that. Thanks for this masterpiece.
Спасибо за контент!
Оо руский
Нас тут много, наверное...
@@Triangless_90 так это же группа из СПб
Да знаю у них в описании страна росия
@@Triangless_90 росия? Не Россия???))))
Finally the thing that i have waited for
Very nice touch there weren't actually any people in the animated part of this version of the video. Awesome!
the sheer amount of care put into this instrumental is insane, even better with all the references to all the game's OSTs.
also 1:06 is a more accurate example of how many people que for competitive
You know you got excited when you saw they upvotes don’t lie, but it was a bait and switch bc it’s count to three but karaoke
I expected this to be a bunch of people walking around trying to get Gabe to say "3", but he just walks away and continues the song someway else.
it's so cool you played Portal as a child and now you're talking to Glados herself about it... it's really cool!!
Gordon has such a way with words
You guys gotta put this on Spotify too, even the instrumental is amazing, keep up the good work guys!
I love that every living entity has been edited out
The Gordon freeman cover is soo good! It sounds just like him
I like how they put in all the extra effort to get rid of all the people
love this. can we have the instrumental version on spotify?
I even did the "this is glados, the chalkeaters are my friends" thing
0:14
Dr Coomer made it out of the game
thank you for this. the horn section, Weber Marely's Band, is just outstanding.
Y'all should make more karaoke versions of your songs, they're awesome!
If you think about it, the visuals in this instrumental aren't even possible, there's nobody to turn the wheel at the beginning!
lol i turned it on in discord server... and about 9 ppl was singing this beautiful song!
I love how the start is the intro of valve
the three popcorn is just bopping to the beat
AWESOME! This is probably one of my favorite songs from you guys!
I've been waiting for this!
Thanks for this. This song has so much depth that didn't hear with the vocals. The vocals are great, but wow.
I've heard my share of electro-swing, and I'm not exaggerating, this is some of the best I've ever heard
Because this stuff is actually believably playable. No simple 3 part chords either
@@Snavels it feels like a lot of electro swing is a bunch of missed opportunities to make some really cool music. But not here
It's almost impossible to smoothly sing without knowing the lines by heart anyway. Please, if you make a karaoke format lyrics, *always* display the next line before the current one finishes. Instead of displaying them in discrete blocks that you just can't start reading and singing at the same time.
I love at the very end that even irl Gabe is missing
This is what i've been waiting for!
Ok now this is how it fells to play GMod alone
did not know gordon could sing that well
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
HECK YEAH I’VE WAITING FOR THIS!
This song is perfect. I want more!
I loved this thanks!
At first i thought the song was quite underwhelming, in comparison to the Todd Howard song, but now, it is one of my most fav songs on youtube tbh.
Never forget: A Valve and an Aperature can be corroded by Steam.
I love the way you made it the video but without anyone in it
Amazing, can't wait for the part 2
This is a *BOP*
Nobody noticed "three" getting mentioned only 3 times
Or the flying pups at 2:04
*this is the second time i mention those*
Thank you so much
Oh i was waiting for portal 3 :c
0:31 FLOATING SHOVEL
Glados: not even there
Words: nah we’re gonna keep showing up on the screen anyway
Two uploads? Which one to watch? Is there even a chance for *three?*
theres 3 count to 3 videos
-1 the original video
-2 the instrumental
-3 the behind the scenes
Without all the characters it's kind of creepy that the whole studio is empty
Thank you!
Awesome!
Now Lord GABEN can sing this song in home
Ну вы, конечно, тянули интригу. Так и не проболтались, что речь шла о Steam OS 3.0
0:26 HAS to be the best part.
Thanks!!!
How could I have missed this! And by 2 months!?
Yeah! Finally here we go!
a KARAOKE VERSION!? god this is so bloody exciting!
Yes
I’d love to see a karaoke version on Doom Crossing as well
The best monday i had this month 😃
That shovel be shoveling on its own lol
Yes! I can finally sing along
Beutifuly crafted!
Thank you and have fun.
how dare it take me so long to hear the 1:16 bit where it steals a little from Portal 2's credit song
I mean this is my first time hearing the song without music but still
This showed me that I listened to this song way too often
The Valve's busy working on something, sing it yourself.
i just realized that in the beginning of the song you hear that tune that you hear when u start a valve game
Imagine people singing this next time valve annonce in a live conference something but its not a 3rd game
the basslines at 1:35 and 2:09 are life!
Electro swing vibes
Maybe the song is electro swing
@@RayAnimations.. it is
@@ahmedshaltout4992 electro swing is awesome
