Please react to the slime rancher soundtrack
I was thinking maybe looking at the Rain World soundtrack?
Please react to polyphia !!!
Part 2!
Part 2 please!
Please oh please react to the Ultrakill Soundtrack I'm begging you please oh please it's almost christmas if u do this i can die happy but like no pressure
6:09 Fun fact; you can kind of play that scale on the character select screen, each character has a different guitar note
i remember when i first found this out and would spend time playing songs with it
can't believe i just now learned this
Whenever I'm picking classes, I would do Tf2's jingle because said jingle has 9 notes and there's 9 classes.
I forgot TF2 Was in development for 9 years too
You can play Black Sabbath too
I know correlation isn't causation, but all of the really cool youtubers end up being fans of TF2.
in tf2's case it is
Game recognize game
To be fair, TF2 has been around 15 years. It's kind of hard not to at least appreciate it after that long.
"Correlation does not imply causation Bobby"
They always have been
Please please PLEASE look at the Spy's theme "Right Behind You" if you ever revisit TF2. That song is so menacing in a field full of goofy scores.
He should also look at engies theme "more gun" if he does that.
i think he should just make another video listening to the rest of the mercs themes
dont forget ROBOTS!, also a banger

There's just something so contagious about Charles getting excited by music
Legitimately an addict to his reactions
YIKES
Yeeees
Ikr? I dont know jack shit about music but Its his enthusiasm that keeps me watching
Dude's excitement about music has made me go back and rewatch and listen to stuff I've been listening to for years in a new way.
The TF2 soundtrack, along with the game, is a timeless masterpiece.
True. It's one of the games that you'll always come back to along with Skyrim
I don't always hear the TF2's soundtrack, but when i do...
Holy SANDVICH
Agreed. THERE CAN BE ONLEH OOOONNEEEE
Absolutely, not many games can compare to it
Laser derple
I never thought TF2 would be on this channel but it’s definitely deserved
Considering valve had an entire orchestra dedicated to performing the OST, I felt like it was only due time until it was covered
TF2 has a special place in my heart as a semi-retired gmod shitposter, soundtrack lives rent free in my head from the hours I spent feeding the enemy team on Harvest
"feeding the enemy team" Hoovy healer?
@@SeriousBusinessman. “feeding the enemy team” as in “so bad at the game I was an active hindrance to my own team” lol
I hope it has a good pension scheme friend
Yikes. You again
@@edwinve4112 …pardon?
It's interesting how an FPS where the music is rarely heard outside of the main menu has one of the greatest soundtracks of all time.
11:30 I just realized they actually timed the medic's actions to the music! When he pushes up his glasses and flips the switch on his medigun, it's perfectly on beat.
Makes me laugh that the demo doesn't get his second eye back lol. Love this game.
@@Redbikemasterhis eye socket is haunted. Yes, that's canon
@@DoctorWhoBlue oh that's right I forgot
Fun fact: the class choosing sound effect in the class selection screen is literally the harmonic scale of E Minor, for a guitar.
YES! He finally covered it! The best video game of all time.
It's the only game that has been around for all time, haha.

I love the video, but Im so mad you didn’t mention the saxophone solo in the Medic theme song, The fact that the soloist is completely being over shadowed by everyone else created the perfect chaotic atmosphere of the Medic himself
I'm thinking that this should be a recommendation for The Consouls to cover - especially as their saxophonist growls so wonderfully!
I can't tell you how much I longed to see someone of your musical caliber finally, appreciate the amazing music thate is this score. Shame you can't hear a bit more of it in the game.
Having music during battles would’ve been cool
@@poopyjoe7435
Someone made a map called "wub wub wub" and it plays with that idea
I wish the Upgrade Station music would play in the spawn rooms, that would be perfect.
@@poopyjoe7435 there is a mod that kinda does that
Go and listen to Medic's theme. The sax sounded like it's calling "MEDIC! MEDIC!". It's frequent in-game, usually Demoman with unusuals says it.
Valve's music during this time period was astounding. The music in L4D and L4D2 were fantastic, the heavy percussion that would build upon hoards of zombies added to the confusion and fear that you felt trying to survive.
I must remember to recommend some to The Consouls - they do such banger VGM jazz covers
“Chaotic Big Band” is the perfect name for this style of action/spy thriller music. To me, one of the best examples is the Archer theme, which builds up all the 60s secret agent tropes until it appropriately collapses in a hilarious mess of trumpets. Might be worth an analysis?
Listen to Moan’n by Charles Mingus if you haven’t
12:52 I can't tell if that was intentional but that was a spot on impression.
It gives me nuclear levels of dopamine
it's insane how the soundtrack perfectly encapsulates the gameplay in every way possible, the chaos of the big band with the multiplayer deathmatch lobbies, constant death and fighting but everything is stylized in a cartoonishly way, taunts and such create this charming and fun place in a warzone, the mission impossible style instruments in the background as a constant reminder that the spy could be anywhere, it's just great
a shame that they only used them in the trailers and main menu instead of the actual game
the trailers enhance the songs so well i can't stop thinking about it whenever i listen to the songs themselves
dude, imagine if they had music for in the middle of battles, and it would dynamically change depending on if you're winning or losing... if you're winning it sounds more positive, and if you're losing it gets faster and more stressful
@@sapphire4310 I really wish tf2 had music playing during matches. Another class based game I play has a track for every map and it perfectly encapsulates the fast paced chaotic action it has, especially with overtime having it's own theme
The theme called "The Calm" (and its counterpart theme, "Robots!") are some of the *stankiest* tracks. I break into a smile and stank face whenever those tracks on the ost come on, they're amazing. Loved TF2 ever since it's beta. Such an incredible game.
The build up and the electronic bum bum bum sound it's so good
Shoutouts to how this bassline also gets used in-game as part of a sound effect, specifically the Duel Challenge/Accept/Deny(?) sounds.
man he goes so in depth that im sad that he tends to only talk about two or three songs in a whole OST.
that in depth stuff though is god damn great.
Would love to see you cover some of the other songs on this soundtrack. ROBOTS!, Rocket Jump Waltz, and A Little Heart to Heart are definitely on my list of favorites.
You can't talk about "ROBOTS!" without first talking about "The Calm"
And you can't talk about "A Little Heart to Heart" without together talking about "Archimedes!" and "MEDIC!"
There is something just so special about the tone twist in "drunken pipe bomb" at around 01:04. It feels like you're in a safe place, and suddenly get raided by a hoard of angry Scotts.
Here are some others that I really like:
"Medic!" feels like a power fever dream.
"The calm" is a brotherhood's call to arms.
"Faster than a speeding bullet" is incredibly fast paced and adrenaline pumped.
and that one part in Medic! where the saxophone solo plays a screamer so the trumpets respond with an even HIGHER screamer and then vibrato a _screamer_
Good music fits the theme of the scene. Team Fortress 2 has great music.
I’ve got about 3000 hours in Tf2 myself, the soundtrack is one of the reasons I and many others absolutely adore it. It creates the perfect cartoony action atmosphere that makes it so unique.
On one hand, the soundtrack was SO much better than it ever needed to be. But that's everything about TF2! ALL of it was better than it needed to be. Valve at at its best made games that were really good and would have sold wonderfully well but it went the extra several miles. Let's not forget that the music was recorded by Valve Studio Orchestra. Valve hired a goddamn orchestra! The release of Meet the Medic (and its music) was, in my eyes, the absolute height of Valve's powers.
For real, every single game they've made has a great soundtrack, but they often get overshadowed by the quality of the games themselves!
Great comment
The entire “Meet The ______” series was 👌👌👌
The trailer for the Mann Vs. Machine update has one of my favorite pieces of music. That was seriously the most excited I was for anything in my entire life.
The hype leading to MvM was insane. I remember everyone in the steam forums working in the ARG.
TF2 peaked during that time.
I want to know if Charles intended to sound like the Medic laughing at 10:37.
HE DOES SOUND LIKE HIM 😂
I am 100% convinced no one before or since has made, or will ever be able to make character intros as good as these. They're so goddamn fantastic, the detail in the animations, the inflexions in the voices and mood of the scenes, I never get tired of rewatching them.
In fact, I think I'm due for a rewatch right now.
It's a nice thing to see that everyone loves TF2 and still does, cheers from the TF2 community
I have a brother whom dislikes music in his games. He'll turn it off. Man is a damn fool. To me the sound, the music is a massive critical part of the game. Great scores elevate a game and sub par ones find me wanting.
He's gonna love TF2 because music pretty much only plays in the menu
Maybe he would enjoy listening to the fantastic vgm jazz covers by The Consouls ie. music without the game?
@@cooldebt it's unlikely it'd be jazz, being as he was subjected to that by a crazy aunt of ours. I am certain he doesn't hate music as I have seen him on occasions jamming out. I suppose he just has a funny way of appreciating music.
tell him to never turn off the music in left 4 dead, because the music in that game actually helps you
Depends on the game. Some devs put more care into the soundtrack than others. Listen to Tekken 7's music and ask me to keep that on lol
Needs a Team Fortress 2: 2. Got to hit Rocket Jump Waltz.
I am afraid to look at the hours count in my Steam library.
Team fortress is a timeless masterpiece. The gameplay, the style, the music. They’re all great! It’s nice seeing you breakdown those themes I heard a lot growing up
Wow that’s amazing! I’ve always watched you but to be learning from you at that price. I’ll get myself one.
@Tele-Gram thank but no thanks 🙏
Unless you are to contact me under my terms and conditions. ☺️
Dude i would LOVE LOVE LOVE if you covered all of the songs from this game in their entirety, it's such an amazing soundtrack from a game that everyone loves and I would kill to get some more of your insane in-depth knowledge on all of its pieces!
especially the MVM theme
every valve ost and character is a masterpiece.. i miss them 😢
They still exist in Steam
@@aguyroamingaround768 i mean their games, alyx was good but i need MORE
I love how Charles talks about some deeper harmonic concepts (for a beginner like me), then stops to explain what a tritone is. :P
What's cool about the sound in tf2 too is that the main ideas heard here (moving up a minor third then back down, and moving down one half step) are also used in game as notification sounds. Always loved how musically unified it made the game feel.
I am glad someone else thinks this game has the best OST ever made in the universe. The shop music, they removed, in MvM is godlike.
I recommend checking out the musical cues in L4D2 (another Valve game) and how they are used dynamically to indicate which types of Special Infected have spawned, how close they are to players, their status, etc. Every single Special Infected has its own little motif and they are all super recognizable, even when played on top of one another. The devs have talked about it a bit in various places (including in-game commentary).
Also, the L4D1 motifs got reused but restyled with new instrumentation & production to suit the new settings of the sequel.
This, and the Left 4 Dead soundtracks were an absolute blast to record. Morasky is untouchable.
The “modal blowout” at 2:08 is so reminiscent of the GRP big band arrangement of My Man’s Gone Now it’s uncanny
I've always really loved Rocket Jump Waltz, was a little sad you didn't cover it! Awesome game, awesome soundtrack.
Valve has stated that they literally based the TF2 soundtrack (and overall design) on The Incredibles, that you also did a video of. That's why it all ties to spy movies, The Incredibles was emulating that and Team Fortress 2 was emulating The Incredibles. It's, you could say, incredible stuff.
I know absolutely nothing with pianos but I love the tf2 sound track so much, I will die on the hill that this game has the best soundtrack in gaming
Every time I switch from each game I’m like: wow this game has the best soundtrack.
Undertale then Deltarune then TF2 and now Hollow Knight
@@TJ-hg6op bro u literally did my journey but swap hollow knight and tf2
We need more. Like spy's theme, pyro's theme, the song right before the mercs go to fight the robots, engie... man this soundtrack is just goated XD

I disagree with your disagreement.
alright I'll admit, TF2 is mid
@@PVTHOS it’s too late now
The music in TF2 is somehow chaos，disorder，somehow funny，like the game itself. The music of TF2 has a Jazz style fits really well with its background story

I just started picking up the piano and even just by watching your videos I’ve learned quite a bit. Excited to see what the course has to offer!
Is it only has 1 video in each course, or got a lot of videos in every courses?
@@steffanyr1038 I mean he explains it a lot in his RUclips videos. Each course is a legit course - 20+ videos. And there's something like 6 or 7 courses now
@@steffanyr1038 from what I saw it looks like it’s a multi subject course offering, so either it’s one really big video, or there are multiple. Either way I think based on what I’ve seen from a lot of other online music courses, $99 isn’t bad at all, even if it’s just 1 course.
@@michaelf8221 yeahh i just checked the website, it has more than hundred videos there. Thanks for the answer btw
@@Ben-ic1ve i agree with you, i think i will take this courses even tho i'm not really a beginner. Worth the price so much!!
2:09 *rips a sick ass solo with zero effort*
"haha thatd be fun"
This music is similar to Giacchino's Incredibles score, especially those trumpets.
I just recently came across tf2 as I was scrolling through Steam for hours when I was sick and one of the best decisions ever in my life was to start playing it! I absolutely love the game and my favourite theme has to be the medic introduction theme.
the music in tf2 makes the gameplay so much more fun
it doesnt play during gameplay
There no music during round but when the round end and you win though, pure dopamine
tf2 has the best soundtrack just to be only used for 5% of the game
You can use the console to make the music play in game!
DeGroot keep’s final point song. 2178 hours and counting…it’s still living on. TF2 just never seems to die
The very first thing I thought when hearing this was: INCREDIBLES
Which is a huge compliment as the Soundtrack for INCREDIBLES is probably still My favorite of all time (or at least in the top 5)
that makes sense! they're both mainly inspired by that good ol' 1960's retro-futuristic aesthetic
They're both inspired but how the world should look and sound like*
9:28 Fun fact, theres actually another way that you can "growl" on saxophone that I find easier than humming. If you play while making a gargle sound in the back of your throat (sounds like perry tha platypus or when someone rolls their r's) you can get a really nice growl sound.
I haven't watched the whole video yet but just that isolated bass line screams TF2 to me. Leitmotif at its finest.
Favorite game of all time, the aesthetics of this soundtrack are baked into my childhood
Have been playing for 11 years and have probably around 5000 hours in the game and still love it. Source games are just built differently
I got wine drunk in college playing TF2 and listening to Panic at the Disco. Good college times.
1:43 Pretty sure it goes B-B-B-A-A-Bb-B instead of B-B-B-Bb-Bb-B-B. Might be a little different from what I typed but I'm pretty sure it has that A in there because it's played in E minor blues.
Omg yes the episode about TF2, the game that helped me become the band nerd I was in high school, let's gooooo
Also, kinda surprised Charles played it a lot too, nice
something about those absolutely SCREAMIN' trumpets! I cannot get enough. This soundtrack is phenomenal.
Finally! The music from this game is so well thought out and so unique compared to a lot of video game music.
Barely know anything about piano, but hearing all those chords I've heard for years broken down is awesome
I'd love to see a sequel video covering some of the more "out there" songs in the soundtrack. The ones straying from the jazzy action movie thing.
It's in my name, it's in my brand. TF2 has been my everything, and boasting a lifeless 8000 hours (and counting) into the game, it's great to see more people take a serious whack at the musical composition of the game. It's catchy, it's punchy, it's both chaos and beautifully orchestrated harmony. If there's more TF2 coming down the pipeline for Charles, I'd ask him to take a look at the more character focused themes. Right Behind You, More Gun, Drums of War, and the (unfortunately) latest addition of Jungle Inferno. All of these deserve their own breakdowns!
I DID always wonder how they do that on the saxophone!
This is so great, brings back so many memories. I remember I used to play the Engineer's theme on guitar all the time in college when I just wanted to noodle around a bit! I absolutely love the traditional old-west style major into the minor TF2 leitmotif. So sick. Absolutely incredible music in TF2, great video, man!
1500 hours on spy, played the game for over 8 years. The music and shorts are so nostalgic and fun to go back to!
Seeing Charles being excited about "Medic!", going full nerdy like "Here's the theme! Here's the theme!!" and laugh like a maniac when the choir drops, somehow makes me happy and envious of him.
@9:11
"And regardless of what it is, it sounds fantastic"
My knowledge of music theory in a nutshell.
10:31 scout laugh lol
Being a trumpet players, every single tf2 song has me grinning from ear to ear.
The trumpets go so hard lol
I love how he literally stopped the song to re-watch meet the medic I just KNOW he watched it all the way through lol
I don't know why TF2 has this "season" of popping up almost out of the blue across youtube after it's been quite for some time, but I'm here for it. I still play this game every now and then, I'd say at least once a week. It's one of those games that just "stays" with me. Such great nostalgia to watch people bring it up again.
Please do a part 2 or revisit it! My favorite tracks are the mvm theme and the rocket jump waltz..
i would never have though Charles was a TF2 player...
The saxophone solo in the 'Meet the Medic' soundtrack is insane! And we can't forget how amazing the mvm songs are!
Fun fact: When you played 13:45 faster it was actually part of an instrumental for another TF2 song which was a nice little easter egg
2:04, Question and Answer - Gary Burton. Not sure if that’s on purpose but that’s a classic.
Wayne Shorter - Footprints(?)
This video came out at just the right time. I played the piano with some simple stuff for the first time in years with my 10 year old sister and I just played TF2 for the first time for a while just today.
12:18 You say it’s like a movie soundtrack, that’s cuz the music was mostly only used in various animations and it barely appears in the games at all.
The only real time you hear any of those themes is in the menu it plays a random one from the ost
I love how the Medic's angelic choir turns dark right after the first chord
The greatest thing about the soundtrack is that we didn’t have to stop any of the songs so the trumpets could fix a mistake
TF2 is my favorite game and has one of the best video game scores ever. 15 years out and the game is still going strong (without valve's help...)
Genuinely never quite understood how this OST was even allowed to be this incredible. I loved hearing you talk about it, I just cannot get tired of this score at all
3:40 It would have to be harmonic minor because in this descending melody from tonic to leading tone melodic minor would become natural minor.
Charles’ laugh at 2:07 is just deliciously diabolical
"My favorite moment is when Medic said:"Its Medickin' time" and Medicked all over the room, hilarious"
"Delightfully devilish"
I'd love to see a video about the Firewatch soundtrack. It's such an awesome musical experience when coupled with the game.
Valve: It’s just a silly fps game don’t go crazy on the soundtrack
That one musician:
2:10 Every teacher ever. Can’t help themselves adding quartal harmony to everything.
I’m so happy that tf2 is being appreciated in the music community. this is amazing 🎉
I think it might be in meet the sniper, but I’m pretty sure they use the ‘Magnum Force’ theme
5:49 I LOVE how frantic the trumpet becomes at this drop. God I love TF2
i never forget this one time i was playing with a friend, never got to bed and when the morning came just stand up and go to school, good times
TF2 will always be a classic. Whilst on this soundtrack theme you should check out Impossible Creatures for some jazzy big band tunes.
I'm so glad one of you guys covered this. The TF2 soundtrack is unironically great music and I listen to it all the time - wish I could find something that sounds remotely similar. If anyone has any recommendations let me know
It's in the genre of "spy jazz", same realm as James bond, mission impossible and the Incredibles soundtrack
in terms of brilliance the few orchestrated tracks in mario galaxy come close but are a very different feel
oh and the band Garbage is very different genre wise but they composed at least some of a james bond ost and they have some great progressions in their album 'version 2.0'
Some of metal gear solid 3
Something I learned from listening to soundtracks, either film or games is that they usually, not always, will create a theme, or maybe a couple themes and the whole soundtrack will be those themes played in different ways, maybe in different keys, or different instrumentalisations etc. But it creates a sense of audio cohesion with whatever media they are apart of.
