"The year is 2034, Silksong is still in development. Society collapsed long ago but three rogue game devs stand against adversity in their quest to finish the game."
the year is 2057, silsong released in 2049, however is still getting regular updates and they are working on DLC 6, the knight is a playable character found after you 100% the game, and the hollow knight is playable after you 101% it. Then finally at 200% completion you get to play, as hornet.
Challenge Accepted: I believe Silksong's plot will be one of overcoming self-doubt after failure. Hornet was captured, and has fallen to the bottom of the world, essentially at rock-bottom (as the common phrase would go) this song has a morose and "somber" (quoted from TC themselves) quality to it. This is Hornet's figurative and physical rock-bottom. She has no friends, and is alone, likely in a pretty bad location based on the name of the town. The aim of her journey is to reach the top of Pharloom, where a Citadel apparently awaits her. She and the other travellers are referred to as Pilgrims, seeking self-improvement by climbing to the top of the world, so Hornet's journey upward will possibly be likened to overcoming her failures. (also to note, she was around at the fall of Hallownest as a child, so has gone through some shit in her past too)
@@justsomeannoyingredpanda yeah lace sounds like a boss theme and this sounds like a theme for an area, but they’re both good I think boss themes get the most views tho
My father would always listen to me blabber about video games every day. He’d surprise buy me games all the time. This game- a game we know little to nothing about still. Actually holds a special place in my heart already. I would talk to him all the time. About the lack of info. The first game. The music drops. The lore videos I watched about the game. I doubt he understood any of it, but he had a smile on his face listening to me about it. I’m 20 currently. (I was 17 when this game was first shown at E3) and my father has sadly passed away a few months ago this year due to a failed kidney surgery because he had a tumor. I’m sure, after today, if he saw the look on my face. The amount of talking I’ve done about this game today. If he were to hear me screaming in excitement that I got to see just a MINUTE of this game. Happy that’s it’s coming out within a year maximum… well. I’m sure he’d have the same smile he always did. But I just wish I got to see it. Thanks team cherry, even if I haven’t played the game yet. I can not wait to play it. And I’m sure it will lead to many memories to come. love you dad.
"in Hollow knight, you entered the kingdom through a town calle dirtmouth, it's only natural in the sequel you entered the new kingdom of Pharloom through it's butt"-mossbag
The thing about Dirtmouth is that it was a town that still had warmth. Elder Bug talks about how he's all alone but as the game progresses you participate in bringing everyone back home. And if you give him the flower, he remarks on how dreams are not so bad after all. It's a town that can potentially recover. Especially with choices like banishing the Troupe. Nymm appears and his accordion playing fills the town with an even more hopeful tone. Everyone is managing and has adapted well to the life there. This seems more like everyone has completely given up hope, with Hornet being the only one left with some sort of goal. Like someone else mentioned, this sounds a lot more like Resting Grounds in terms of atmosphere
I got it on sale for like 7 bucks and felt like a thief after playing it. Then spent more than 100 to get the Limited Edition and felt much better, although that was a bit steep with shipping, customs, etc..
I love how something as simple as a change in instrumentation (violin & harp vs viola & piano, in terms of overall soundtrack) can cause such an entirely different feeling and mood. Gorgeous as ever. One thing all the fans can agree on is that the music is what really brought Hollowknight to life, Larkin truly provided the atmosphere the game needed. Music is what really conveys the emotions you're intended to feel, visuals alone can't cut it. I can't wait to hear more Silksong ost, especially given that while Hallownest was a sad old dead kingdom, Pharloom is alive and bright.
You know I bought Hollow Knight for the price I paid purely for the art work and sound track. The great game was just a bonus to me. Well worth the money.
One thing I'm interested to see from silksong is how it will handle its radically different protagonist. The knight was an enigma. No matter what he did, it made sense. On the other hand we know who hornet is, that she can speak, that she has values, and maybe an agenda too.
I think the story will be more constructed. With hollow knight, Team Cherry didn’t really know what they were doing, and left some loose ends. The “hollow” thing might have been chosen to make the story make more sense. Now that they have experience and a story to go off of, you’ll have more clear instructions and a precise story, likely with many endings to make it less constrictive.
@@theblob2937 Team Cherry didn't know what they were doing with Hollow Knight? I'm sure they did. If they wanted to, they could have made the Radiance be its own final boss far away from the Black Egg. They put it inside the Hollow Knight because they knew what the lore was, and so do we. The story is already precise, and there are no loose ends, only questions that don't matter, like "What happened to Isma," or "Is Hegemol dead."
@@gu3z185 I’m saying that they didn’t have as much experience. There are multiple things that don’t add up in the lore that are more important than that. Now, they can make a better lore with a more challenging topic
I always get nervous when my favorite musicians release new music. There's always a fear in my head that it won't be able to live up to what they've done in the past. These two samples have wiped every single inkling of fear from my head. I'm somehow even more excited for Silksong now.
If Silksong is anywhere remotely close to the level of quality as Hollow Knight I am seriously hoping the team displays more confidence in their product and prices it $20 or higher. I genuinely believe Hollow Knight was worth minimum $30 after all the free expansions
Whoops I think you made a typo there! You see where you said $30 I think you meant $60 because this masterpiece is worth more than most AAA games I have played. It's okay though, even the best of us make typos.
you should be having the opposite of nostalgia feeling good remembering an experience that WILL happen in a few decades not an experience that HAS happened a few decades ago
I bet the melody from 2:15 to the end will be the leit motif of silksong. I can almost guarantee you will hear this while fighting the final boss like the notes from the path of pain music were from hollow knight.
First half reminds me of City of Tears Second Half is literally the new resting grounds Man I wonder what sad or terrible event will occur in this area
There might not be a major sad event but it might sound sad because it's called bone bottom for a reason. It sounds like your thinking why are the bones there
@@yosheggs most likely a kind of graveyard, maybe this game’s abyss equivalent area. I’m more and more excited for this game with every tiny bit of content we get
Personally I find the first half as somber and sad, like you've hit rock bottom (You kinda have, in the context of the game). The second half sounds hopeful, like a feeling of "You can only go up from here". I don't think its indicative of a great tragedy.
Apart from it being a masterpiece, I like the fact that this music is played with string instruments and a piano. But a piano not only has strings, but its keys were also originally made from bones. And this section is called Bone-Bottom. It's perfect.
everyone else: Fantastic! This piece is one of the most beautiful in the Hollow Knight series; the transition from the harp into the beautifully toned violin gives more depth and resonance to an already well-coordinated melodic structure. me: yyyYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I was worried that the soundtrack to the sequel of Hollow Knight would not live up to the beautifulness and masterfulness of the latter's, but clearly I was wrong to doubt Mr. Larkin's massive skill because this sounds... just incredible. Extremely moving and bewitching piece. This soundtrack is going to be massive, just like the game as a whole
I'm going to be 100% honest, those strings at 0:51 hit me harder in the heart than anything in the first game, yes that includes the Hollow Knight's theme. I can already tell Silksong is going to be a massive improvement upon the original, and at least music wise, could be the best sequel in terms of improving upon the strengths of the original. Thank you Mr. Larkin for all of the masterpieces you've given us.
I am dying. Christopher Larkin has killed me. I'm going to cry when I play this game. I'm so fucking excited for Silksong I have to stop thinking about it sometimes. I haven't felt this way about games until Team Cherry came along.
He commented that 2 years ago,they are still working on it,just proving how much they want it to be good,and we will shed even more tears considering it is improving every day
It's Hollow Knight's 5th anniversary, and I finally caved and listened to this song in full (been avoiding this since reveal because I wanted to go into the game as blind as possible and I thought Silksong would release soon. Lol.) The part from 1:43 to the end is so beautiful, it makes me want to cry. I cannot wait for this game.
Polishing it is better than releasing it faster anyway,Just like with STALKER 2 Though even if people pull me away from that thought(Wether seriously or Jokingly),Team cherry would still have my word of wait and trust
This piece is absolutely fantastic, I got goosebumps all over. Christopher you’re doing an wonderful job, thank you for always delivering such beautiful music :) Man I can’t wait to put Silksong’s whole ost on repeat like a maniac!! And crying at 2am because of it
I'm going to stay a while in Bonebottom the first time I get there. For about 9 minutes I'll just be contemplating life, thanking God that the game released and thanking game developers for existing. Until then, we have to be patient, we're going to get the game when it's ready... It's going to be perfect
Absolutely fantastic! You outdo yourself and bring one of the best aspects of Hollow Knight and I'm sure this game to life. This rings out like Enter Hallownest did, but with a more somber, calmer, and quietly tense tune. I can't wait.
it almost feels ironic that they gave us such a somber track as a preview, the music feels like a representation of how actually miserable waiting for games is. Really hoping i'll get to hear the full soundtrack sometime soon, because even just THIS is incredible.
Bonebottom is first town in Silksong. It's theme in C Minor. Dirthmouth is first town in Hollow Knight. It's theme is too in C Minor. They are so similiar.
Oh. My. God This whole song is an unforgettable masterpiece, way before the game it's displayed in will even come out... there's just something about that just truly captures the depressing name of the town it so well describes, and like I said, the game ain't even out yet! And damn those strings are insane. But to me the best part about it is the final note, usually we get a signature 5 note leitmotif at the end of these types of songs, but with this, it is just one last resounding note... Incredible
When I play Silksong (WHEN, because I refuse to die before it comes out), I’m going to have a seat and listen to the area themes every time I enter a new one. Just gonna siddown and stay a spell.
Legend has it this plays when you come to the realization that the longer the fanbase is starved of the game, the more their expectations grow, and the more upset they will be when it releases and its not a perfect game.
I can't wait to be running (her normal walk cycle is called running, and walk is triggered in towns, and now we got a separate button for sprint), but I can't wait to be running through moss grotto, and all of the sudden I'll start walking and I'll hear this music. It's going to feel so fulfilling to finally hear the music in game.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss! I've been waiting for any kind of Silksong anything for months and we finally we have something! Thank you Christopher Larkin for blessing my ears with this masterpiece!
this soundtrack displays a sorrow and loss but yet some comfort representing bone bottom itself, a place where others have been lost, and have possibly passed away unable to accomplish their goals which is sorrowful but yet they found a resting place on their endless journey which is kind of comforting.
Christofer Larkin is back and he brings his magic with him. What a legend. (also can i say ALL HOLLOW KNIGHT ALBUM COVER ARTS ARE AMAZING AND THIS IS JUST NEXT LEVEL?!)
Larkin came out of nowhere and composed my favorite OST of all time in Hollow Knight. The madman is quite literally about to go even further beyond with this game’s soundtrack.
This song reminds me of the exact kind of feelings that made me fall in live with the first game. It has that same kinda vibe of haunting, melancholy beauty. Plus it just sounds gorgeous!
i have no idea why, but every note in this song shoots me in the heart. it is so beautiful. i love it so much. genuinelt moving and its just a town theme lol
Christopher Larkin, you are without a doubt one of the best videogame composers I've ever had the pleasure to listen to. Keep up the great work, I look forward to hearing more of your work.
The somberness in this is very exciting love the atmosphere this is going for, I’d love to see how it fits in action, but it already has me loving the variety. 2 songs in and I’m already invested...I mean I was invested from the start but still
What I find amazing about these two previewed tracks, is how Christopher adds the strings seemingly the higher you climb in the game. At the bottom, we have Bonebottom, which starts with primarily piano. Piano was the primary instrument in Hollow Knight (we go deeper in that game). Lace, which I imagine is a somewhat early boss, mostly just has string instruments. I love that he did this. The higher we climb, the soundtrack follows with more and more stringed instruments. Beautiful.
Damn I can't believe everyone has been waiting for this game for almost three years. just played hollow knight for the first time so I'm joining the wait super late.
Every time I play hollow knight it's impossible to not look at the map and miss my first play through I just want something else, another experience to miss it again later
when i finished 8th grade i was very excited about this game after the xbox trailer now i hope we get just a little crumb of good news before i finish the 10th
If/when silksong's release date announcement appears you know all those old comments are gonna be flooded under a storm of people going like "THE SILKSONG IS REAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL"
This is hauntingly beautiful. I can't believe how this doesn't have more views. It's been a while since I've listened to this sample, and I remember listening to it for hours like 2 years ago. I'm really excited to hear this in Silksong. From the looks of it, this game is gonna be ineffable.

i mean a *lot* of good things are planned for 2020 other than silksong, like terraria 1.4
Yeah, can't wait for Ghost of Tsushima, Terraria 1.4 and Elden Ring too.
SOON™
@@fiso64 Elden Ring, Silksong, Ori2, Doom Eternal
What a year
I don't care how long I have to wait, this game will be THE GAME OF THE CENTURY
IKR BRO THIS SONG IS SUCH A BANGER!!!
Definitely not this century, though.
Imagine still believing in Silksong
Because it's going to come out in 2101
I'm going to be 100% honest, those strings at 0:51 hit me harder in the heart than anything in the first game, yes that includes the Hollow Knight's theme. I can already tell Silksong is going to be a massive improvement upon the original, and at least music wise, could be the best sequel in terms of improving upon the strengths of the original. Thank you Mr. Larkin for all of the masterpieces you've given us.
It definitely helps that these are recorded with real instruments and aren't synthesized afaik
it's a crime that this has less views than lace, definitely my favorite Christopher Larkin song
fake strings is something that you don't realize how much it detracts from the music until you hear comparable music with real strings.
I am dying. Christopher Larkin has killed me. I'm going to cry when I play this game. I'm so fucking excited for Silksong I have to stop thinking about it sometimes. I haven't felt this way about games until Team Cherry came along.
Oh yes, happiest tears I'll shed alongside finding a soulmate.
He commented that 2 years ago,they are still working on it,just proving how much they want it to be good,and we will shed even more tears considering it is improving every day
Same here bud!!
how's it going
@@fish3975 got really drunk and sentimental 2 years ago and I still do it some nights. Still waitin lmao
The official theme of Silksong news deficiency.
i got this recommended to me and i've never seen this one before, so i freaked out until i noticed the '4 years ago'
It's Hollow Knight's 5th anniversary, and I finally caved and listened to this song in full (been avoiding this since reveal because I wanted to go into the game as blind as possible and I thought Silksong would release soon. Lol.)
The part from 1:43 to the end is so beautiful, it makes me want to cry. I cannot wait for this game.
I hope this has leitmotifs that we'll hear throughout the whole soundtrack because its one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard
It's very somber. All the instruments work together in a very nice way.
This is surely one of your best songs in my opinion! This area is gonna be something truly magic
Reminder : The longer we wait, the better Silksong will me
Exactly, and I feel like the more Silksong gets delayed, the more team cherry wants to perfect Silksong in every way possible.
Polishing it is better than releasing it faster anyway,Just like with STALKER 2
Though even if people pull me away from that thought(Wether seriously or Jokingly),Team cherry would still have my word of wait and trust
@@daniellong7549 i feel the Same, it's just the community that doesn't accept it
Amazing as usual :)
Hey everyone, sub to this guy. Great randomizer vids

@@Rainbowgamergirl03 *And they don't stop coming*
This piece is absolutely fantastic, I got goosebumps all over. Christopher you’re doing an wonderful job, thank you for always delivering such beautiful music :)
Man I can’t wait to put Silksong’s whole ost on repeat like a maniac!! And crying at 2am because of it
This song is what “everything is falling apart” sounds like
I thought I liked the Dirtmouth theme, this just takes it to a whole new level of somber. Can't wait to spend hours sitting at the bench in Bonebottom
I bet some people here have listened to this for longer than they will actually spend in Bonebottom in game.
I'm going to stay a while in Bonebottom the first time I get there. For about 9 minutes I'll just be contemplating life, thanking God that the game released and thanking game developers for existing. Until then, we have to be patient, we're going to get the game when it's ready... It's going to be perfect
You’ve got the spirit
Can't wait to come back here next year and say "This is the year guys"
Absolutely fantastic! You outdo yourself and bring one of the best aspects of Hollow Knight and I'm sure this game to life. This rings out like Enter Hallownest did, but with a more somber, calmer, and quietly tense tune. I can't wait.
it almost feels ironic that they gave us such a somber track as a preview, the music feels like a representation of how actually miserable waiting for games is. Really hoping i'll get to hear the full soundtrack sometime soon, because even just THIS is incredible.
Soundtrack of waiting for silksong
@@PEIIIKA literally 😭
*DAMNNIT, I THOUGHT THIS NEW KINGDOM WOULDN'T MAKE ME CRY EVERY TWO HOURS*
Yeah it’s make u cry every 2 seconds
Bonebottom is first town in Silksong. It's theme in C Minor. Dirthmouth is first town in Hollow Knight. It's theme is too in C Minor. They are so similiar.
The majority of the themes in hollow knight are in Cm, I hope he doesn't change that in silksong.
Uh, what? Dirtmouth and a lot of the others are Eminor if anything
dirtmouth was really the ONLY town in hollow knight
@@galyxx226 mantis village, city of tears
@@davemarin7340 well those are really legit areas rather than safety zones
Oh. My. God
This whole song is an unforgettable masterpiece, way before the game it's displayed in will even come out... there's just something about that just truly captures the depressing name of the town it so well describes, and like I said, the game ain't even out yet! And damn those strings are insane. But to me the best part about it is the final note, usually we get a signature 5 note leitmotif at the end of these types of songs, but with this, it is just one last resounding note... Incredible
When I play Silksong (WHEN, because I refuse to die before it comes out), I’m going to have a seat and listen to the area themes every time I enter a new one. Just gonna siddown and stay a spell.
I cant express in words how much hollow knight changed my life
Same
I'll treasure the experience I had with HK forever.
This song perfectly encapsulates the feeling of waiting 5 years for a game to come out with no release date in sight.... :(
Still, Silksong will come
Legend has it this plays when you come to the realization that the longer the fanbase is starved of the game, the more their expectations grow, and the more upset they will be when it releases and its not a perfect game.
The piano solo at 1:25 followed by the harmonizing strings at 1:42 sounds incredible.
thats a harp solo lol
@@taffles7498 I think that you're right.
@@rasul01 that s. pretty cool
I can't wait to be running (her normal walk cycle is called running, and walk is triggered in towns, and now we got a separate button for sprint), but I can't wait to be running through moss grotto, and all of the sudden I'll start walking and I'll hear this music. It's going to feel so fulfilling to finally hear the music in game.
0:52
>When the violin kicks in just right.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss! I've been waiting for any kind of Silksong anything for months and we finally we have something! Thank you Christopher Larkin for blessing my ears with this masterpiece!
*About to cry*
It’s great to see it, yeah! One of the big things to look forward to right here.
Do you think it sounds a bit weird underwater?
This is actually such a beautiful song. And so emotion evoking too, I can't help but feel sad or sorrowful just by listening to it.
this soundtrack displays a sorrow and loss but yet some comfort representing bone bottom itself, a place where others have been lost, and have possibly passed away unable to accomplish their goals which is sorrowful but yet they found a resting place on their endless journey which is kind of comforting.
As a human, and especially as a musician, I thank you Chris.
"video game music isnt real music" mfs when Bonebottom (Silksong OST Sample) comes on
Christofer Larkin is back and he brings his magic with him. What a legend.
(also can i say ALL HOLLOW KNIGHT ALBUM COVER ARTS ARE AMAZING AND THIS IS JUST NEXT LEVEL?!)
Legit didn't think Larkin would be able to surpass the original game's OST. This track alone proved me wrong, and oh, how glad I am...
Larkin came out of nowhere and composed my favorite OST of all time in Hollow Knight. The madman is quite literally about to go even further beyond with this game’s soundtrack.
It's been 2059 days since the reveal of Silksong. This song perfectly captures my feelings
This song reminds me of the exact kind of feelings that made me fall in live with the first game. It has that same kinda vibe of haunting, melancholy beauty.
Plus it just sounds gorgeous!
Maybe what mattered was the silk and the song along the way....
Your music is my favorite thing ever
Listening to this in bed staring at the ceiling
with every playback we are 3 minutes and 12 seconds closer to Silksong's release
this sounds so melancholic and pretty and I like it
I'm OBSESSED with this song. It is so freakin good.
Me when there’s no SilkSong in a showcase event:
i have no idea why, but every note in this song shoots me in the heart. it is so beautiful. i love it so much. genuinelt moving and its just a town theme lol
i also go "heheheheheheheheh" when i see bonebottom
I mean just like dirtmouth
Same dude a town theme has no right getting me this emotional
wow, only 22 likes from Australians. very disappointing.
yooo
I wonder how Team cherry will react to the 15K dislikes (and going up) though...
UnLImITeD ? It took me literally 3 minutes to understand that joke I’m stupid
Lol
Pfft
Returning to this after seeing the new trailer
this is the official waiting for silksong theme
Holy shit, this is already on the level of the best Hollow Knight music... The part at 1:50. Wow
Every time I see this in my recommended, I am reminded of what I don't have
Christopher Larkin, you are without a doubt one of the best videogame composers I've ever had the pleasure to listen to. Keep up the great work, I look forward to hearing more of your work.
The somberness in this is very exciting love the atmosphere this is going for, I’d love to see how it fits in action, but it already has me loving the variety. 2 songs in and I’m already invested...I mean I was invested from the start but still
2021 will be the year
What I find amazing about these two previewed tracks, is how Christopher adds the strings seemingly the higher you climb in the game. At the bottom, we have Bonebottom, which starts with primarily piano. Piano was the primary instrument in Hollow Knight (we go deeper in that game).
Lace, which I imagine is a somewhat early boss, mostly just has string instruments. I love that he did this. The higher we climb, the soundtrack follows with more and more stringed instruments.
Beautiful.
Damn I can't believe everyone has been waiting for this game for almost three years. just played hollow knight for the first time so I'm joining the wait super late.
Don't worry, you're in the first 1/5th of waiting most likely :__:
@@gu3z185 awesome, I definitely don't want to miss out lol
I'm now entirely sure I want this game. If nothing else, then just for the music.
The game in general is going to be worth it
Sure hope so! Demo and trailer gameplay looks really good.
I thought 'now' said 'not' and I was coming down here like listen up you better be excited for it
@@Zeldinion You _know_ I’m excited for it! Can’t wait
thats so beautiful, oah, man, i have a hole in my heart now.
I feel so blessed for having Hollow knight. Thanks in no small part in your amazing soundracks Mr. Larking. I can't thank you enough.
Every time I play hollow knight it's impossible to not look at the map and miss my first play through
I just want something else, another experience to miss it again later
when i finished 8th grade i was very excited about this game after the xbox trailer
now i hope we get just a little crumb of good news before i finish the 10th
If/when silksong's release date announcement appears you know all those old comments are gonna be flooded under a storm of people going like "THE SILKSONG IS REAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL"
This feels more like a calm village, but city of tears and kingdoms edge were also calming
I love this, this is amazing
This is hauntingly beautiful. I can't believe how this doesn't have more views. It's been a while since I've listened to this sample, and I remember listening to it for hours like 2 years ago. I'm really excited to hear this in Silksong. From the looks of it, this game is gonna be ineffable.
Every time you listen to it it gets closer to release
Thank you.
