I also have fond memories of this. Getting up early, going for a coffee and Mcmuffin from MCdonalds, and starting starting the quiet morning grinding in northrend!
Me too, glad Im not alone. I will sometimes get on my ground mount to ride through it and turn on the music. Cant think of a zone in recent expansions that caused me to do tht.
How is nostalgia so painful yet so...warming? It's like a strange voluntarily sadistic experience. How can a piece of music make you yearn so strongly for a time gone by - inducing this achingly melancholic but happy emotion that it happened, even though you didn't even realise it was a good thing until time had passed? I struggle to fathom why it is how it is; why this piece of music hits the heart right in the feels for so many people. How an intonation can evoke a response so raw and deep. Why I keep coming back to it, even though it chokes me up with mixed emotions for reasons I can't quite comprehend. All I know is...if someone offered to take me back, knowing what I know now, experiencing what I have over the years - I'd take them up on it, instantly.
This is so well said. Nostalgia feels like looking back with rose coloured glasses, every single time. Yet I know that back then the feeling of playing this game was nothing more special then anything I play now. Will I in the future look back at the present with the rose coloured glasses? Probably.
Grizzly Hills was a great zone, for sure, but I refuse to believe the reason this music speaks to us on such a level is because of that alone. This music speaks to us because that's the kind of peace we all seek, we're all drawn to it, the log cabin in the woods, a warm fire, a calm river, and not a worry in the world. That's a calling most people will feel in their lives, it's hardwired in us, and this music clearly speaks to that very part of us.
When I discovered that others found this as 1 of their favorite wow soundtracks from back in the day, I was so happy to discover! But then it seems like we all realized this zone's music was actual undeniable tranquility, incarnate. Not even Night Elf Zone's could beat the purity of this one's.
The amount of nostalgia I have with WoW is unreal. I wasn't one of the people who played for hours a day for years, but I played during some very key parts of my life. I remember discovering the game when I was 13 and the kid down the street showed me on his PC. Then in middleschool and highschool I'd remember that game and pick it up again, play with friends, discover new places. All those times are gone now and those people are memories, but I'll never forget them.
I feel you! I'm currently writing a novel about the RP me and some friends played out 17 years ago that spanned a story across five years of my life...It's finally coming together and one day I would love to share it with other WoW-fans who have such experiences as you describe...because I had them too and writing this book is simply magical because it means I get to return there over and over again, but even deeper.
Your comment made me tear up. Same boat - WoW was a huge part of my life for 10 years or so. I eventually had to stop because of the strain it put on my hands :p I will suddenly get memories of riding through Ashenvale, or questing in Elwyn Forest. I feel such nostalgia for it that it would almost be too hard for me to go back.
Best music of the best expansion. WoW was an enormous part of my life for close to 10 years. I started playing when vanilla came out. BC was terrific, but WotLK was easily my favourite. So many wonderful memories! Can't believe how long ago that was. Time sure does fly..
Kept going back to try it but its never the same, now Im getting married etc games interest me less and less but I'll never forget how obsessed I was and how fun it was as an escape
Yes same thing kinda here too...can't fully comprehend the time that went by but It went anyway and how different things were then phew it's almost unfair. Wrath was the peak indeed.. I heard it re released but I wouldn't go back the memories are enough..I just want the music now.
14 years ago i learned to love Grizzly Hills. 14 years later i will learn to love Grizzly Hills again. Time went by so fast, but the memories remained. Absolutely stoked for Wotlk classic.
In the falling dusk the heartbeat of memories sounds above the panting breath of invading silence and loud are the footsteps of time that once was but will never be again -Evening Nostalgia by Nosheen Irfan
In the original Wrath, I played as Alliance and just cared about leveling, dungeons, and battlegrounds... In Classic, I play as Horde and roleplay with my guild. It's a different experience and I enjoy it. We have so many screenshots of roleplay events on our discord. Good times!
@@ironxYT It's mostly freehand character-driven guild events. Not super strict, but some of it is inspired by the lore. We also do some cross-faction rp events. In fact last week there was a 'prisoner exchange' event in Ashenvale. The Alliance outnumbered us and had the chance to wreck us, fortunately they didn't. It turned out to be a peaceful exchange.
There have been many days when I've felt melancholic and depressed, as it's something I've struggled with for decades, and I've logged in to the game simply to play in the Grizzly Hills zone so I can let this music soothe my wretched, unfeeling soul. The people who put this music to paper are sorcerers of sound and know full well how to pull your mind apart with each and every note you hear. The piece that's burned into my cerebral cortex is from 12:30-13:03. It's like the echo of a swan song, the end of an era, or the death of a fallen hero. I'm so glad I bought the collector's edition of Wrath of the Lich King when it came out---I can listen to "Totems of the Grizzlemaw" whenever I like.😁
I started playing World of Warcraft in 2004, my stepdad at the time was working with 999 games (the boardgame company) and they received a couple of Alpha Keys to give to their employees. - I was lucky enough that my stepdad was able to snatch one extra. And I was instantly hooked. - I played religiously until about 2010. - Never forget!
Woah, this brings me back. I believe, in the ages and aeons to come, there will be worlds built and dedicated to relive and play games of all types and infinite time to experience them. I know I'll be doing some WOW'ing like in the days of my youth. Adventures galore to be had with friends and companions. Back to simpler times of discovering new and exciting things!
Reading these comments have brought tears and laughter to me. The memories and experiences myself and many others went through during these times are so potent. I can feel what you all are feeling and look forward to seeing you all on the Fresh Classic servers of WotLK!
Recently, i was in Austria, when a fair wind came up blew through the trees. It remembered me instantly on the this music. Like many others here, i spent countless hours in the hills just to listen to its music❤.
여기 퀘스트는 하지않았지만 야수정령 아크튜러스를 테이밍 하러 갔다가 하루종일 음악만 들으면서 애꿎은 야생동물만 사냥했던게 기억남 결국 다음날 새벽까지 기다리다 해가 뜬 뒤에서야 테이밍에 성공하니 너무기뻐서 눈물흘린게 기억남 지금은 잠시 와우를 쉬고있지만 그곳에는 언제나 나의 소중한 추억이 숨쉬고있음
Wrath is home to many of my favorite zones, Storm Peaks, Icecrown, Grizzly Hills and Howling Fjord. Hard to believe this was so long ago when it feels like yesterday. Wrath is by far my favorite xpac and Grizzly Hills has by far the greatest music in the entire game
For some just a game, for some a place of peace, adventure, friendship, respect and a place of memory. For those memories are eternal. Drfkovec - Last online 5 years ago
This makes it even harder to resist going back to WOW after they officially release Lich King classic. I felt that was when WOW was at it's best, even if Cataclysm was good too and had my favorite quest ever.
Yeah, give money for gready company recycling their old "toxic" expansion... Instead, you could just join fun community of Warmane with same Lich King game they had for alot of years already, for free.
As a long years Warcraft fan and WoW player I can honestly say that in my opinion, WotLK is the best expansion. It just have.... This something, I don't exactly know how to put it into words Just everything in there, fit in, like a well desing puzzle, even the flaws (yeah there were some).
I needed this today. Thank you for the upload. I can’t wait to see all of you in WOTLK Classic and experience this zone in all its glory one last time. The Lich King awaits!
I started playing WoW in 2008 when I was 12 years old... never quit playing that expansion. I've been on every retail expansion but I always keep playing the same one... WoTLK. Best expansion ever and forever. Arthas caught our hearts and the lore was amazing. I feel like a kid.
Amazing zone thank you ambient...many memories pop up...amazing how much of a time capsule music can be. Blessed to have experienced this with friends in its time. 7:32
OMG I love you for this. This channel has been my favorite for years and I make content for World of Warcraft and WOTLK Is coming back out soon. So this is perfect. Love you and thank yoU!
I remember sitting with my dad for HOURS, watching him level and asking question after question. We bonded over WoW, Diablo and gaming in general. I think that's why, even though my dad has quit the game, I still play and love the game to this day. Now, with the re-release of the older expansion, I get to experience the game in a WHOLE different light... it's been super amazing honestly.
Still in my opinion one of the best and most underrated zoned in the entire game. Not a single expansion compared to the epic music, investment, and fun that Northrend offered. Grizzly Hills was one of its hidden gems. Grinding felt rewarding and you didn’t have to play your own music because the in game music was epic alone
Yes, this really pulls me out of concentration every time that passage plays. I stopped listening to this video as a result. Would love to see a fixed version of this.
Господи, как это было давно, когда я создал своего первого персонажа ночного эльфа друида, потом вступил в гильдию и мы ходили вместе в кафе, встречались, влюблялись, эх😢
"We didn't know we were making memories. We just knew we were having fun."
Best comment .... Ever.
Although, about the time WOTLK ... WoW about broke my marriage. . . but, still memories.
❤
Damn that one hit hard. Thanks bro
Well said.
Logging in at 6am on a day off work was just bliss. Great memories.
Couldn't agree more Liam, and I also would think about Warcraft all day at work counting down the minutes to get home and get online.
i try to recapture this feeling often. logging in at 6am during wrath just hit different somehow
I also have fond memories of this. Getting up early, going for a coffee and Mcmuffin from MCdonalds, and starting starting the quiet morning grinding in northrend!
Gotta go do the tourney dailies!
oh dont remind me...time one thing money cant buy..
I lost count of how much time I have went to that region just to listen to the music and the wind in the trees.
Thank you for this.
Where is it, this is all new to me 😊😊
Me too, glad Im not alone. I will sometimes get on my ground mount to ride through it and turn on the music. Cant think of a zone in recent expansions that caused me to do tht.
@@carolesmith2619 In Northrend, the top part of Azeroth
Same, I would log in pop my warrior down and just listen for hours.
This music. The zone. It's just pure magic. Feels like my ancestors are calling to me.

im right now feel that feeling :") in WOTLK classic

are you gay irl?
I cant find words much accurate than yours🙏❤🔥
Roughly 12 years ago, I can't tell you how many times I've fallen asleep to the music of this zone in hunt of Arcturis with NPC alert on
I caught myself glued to this looking to see if Arcturis was there
Grizzly Hills was a great zone, for sure, but I refuse to believe the reason this music speaks to us on such a level is because of that alone.
This music speaks to us because that's the kind of peace we all seek, we're all drawn to it, the log cabin in the woods, a warm fire, a calm river, and not a worry in the world.

this track still makes me cry so much
To think this zone/music was released 14 years ago, and many people still cherish it.
This music sums up my life
Why? Why did you tell me it was released 14 years ago? 😭
this will forever be in my heart
When I discovered that others found this as 1 of their favorite wow soundtracks from back in the day, I was so happy to discover! But then it seems like we all realized this zone's music was actual undeniable tranquility, incarnate. Not even Night Elf Zone's could beat the purity of this one's.
bro what does 14 years ago have to do with people liking music ? I mean we still listen to music from the 1800s or even 1500s

The way you phrased it hit me. Indeed beautiful memories of long lost friends and adventures

Question is , are you going to play wotlk classic ?
Nostalgia is fickle. Like a first girlfriend, you never recapture the magic.
Kept going back to try it but its never the same, now Im getting married etc games interest me less and less but I'll never forget how obsessed I was and how fun it was as an escape

Yeah but its nowhere near what wrath was back then . Times have changed and so has the wow community
In the falling dusk
the heartbeat of memories
sounds above the panting breath
of invading silence
and loud are the footsteps of time
that once was
but will never be again
-Evening Nostalgia by Nosheen Irfan
World of Warcraft games and Lord of the Rings movies so far they have produced the best music to my ears.
to me its those as well as Final Fantasy OST. Nobuo Uematsu is incredible.
I recently realised that I can help my newborn get to sleep with calm music. So this may now be my favourite video on the internet
Wrath has such a magical feeling. You can really get a sense of how much love went into it
It's been so long since I've felt this calm. I'm crying right now
I hear snippets of the same feelings this awakens, in Azure Span ambience in Dragonflight
Does this zone's music instill a sense of sweet melancholy on anyone else or is it just me?
100%! So emotional right now
Very much so.
In the original Wrath, I played as Alliance and just cared about leveling, dungeons, and battlegrounds... In Classic, I play as Horde and roleplay with my guild. It's a different experience and I enjoy it. We have so many screenshots of roleplay events on our discord. Good times!
Wow can I join your guild lol 💖 I'm Alliance this time around though, Horde originally. Need to find a cool Alliance guild!
What kind of stuff do you roleplay? Do you follow the lore and stuff super strictly or is it just sort of freehand random stuff?
@@ironxYT It's mostly freehand character-driven guild events. Not super strict, but some of it is inspired by the lore. We also do some cross-faction rp events. In fact last week there was a 'prisoner exchange' event in Ashenvale. The Alliance outnumbered us and had the chance to wreck us, fortunately they didn't. It turned out to be a peaceful exchange.

I love all this music from Grizzly Hills, I still listen to it today, the best area and the best expansion of WORLD OF WARCRAFT
there is a smile and a tear every time i hear this music. what an amazing adventure it was.
Thank you for taking me back in time to relive a part of my life that provided such a wonderful and peaceful escape from the daily grind of life.
I've never played WoW, but hearing this music makes me want to give it a shot.
Woah, this brings me back. I believe, in the ages and aeons to come, there will be worlds built and dedicated to relive and play games of all types and infinite time to experience them.

I always love questing in Grizzly Hills, the music and atmosphere of the zone are just incredible. Wrath has such beautiful music
A game that cannot be forgotten.
This music always made me want to retire to the Grizzly Hills, stop adventuring, and just building a cabin somewhere there, and fish.
There’s a WoW novel to be written, right there. 😊

One of the most beautiful zones in WoW in all aspects, sound, visuals, colour. Just amazing.
Is this the new best WoW music ambience channel? I hope so.
Played this music around the fire while camping the other week :) I must say it truly is something else.
Oooooo I'm so excited! This one is perfect for planning a Ranger or Druid kind of build!
what the hell is a ranger build
@@naliesnikas I guess it's for DND/pathfinder.

God this place is awesome. Northrend best expansion continent anyone?
The musics of WOW is the definition of teenage hood for a lot of people.
Oh my that brings me back WAY BEFORE! I used to play all thetime in college. Oh Nostalgia...
It's been so long that I've forgotten a great majority of the game, but never the music.
I cant remember any of the quests in this region due to time passed.. but this music stays with my still to this day.
Now you are making me miss my game. Love WoW.
Superb video and excellent job!
I needed this today. Thank you for the upload. I can’t wait to see all of you in WOTLK Classic and experience this zone in all its glory one last time. The Lich King awaits!
it hurts! good old days...
Wrath was the best expansion in my opinion and grizzly hills the hest zone hands down, WoW hasnt been the same since
I started playing WoW in 2008 when I was 12 years old... never quit playing that expansion. I've been on every retail expansion but I always keep playing the same one... WoTLK. Best expansion ever and forever. Arthas caught our hearts and the lore was amazing. I feel like a kid.
one of the best zones
Another peaceful region is Nagrand.
I always wanted to own one of the floating islands and build a house on it.
Imagine doing groceries though.
This zone has some of my favorite music in the entire game. Excellent choice.
Great timing! Thank you
I use a lot of your music for sleep, helps a lot! Thanks AW! Not all heroes wear capes

WOWOWOWOWOW!!
Tears in my eyes! :)
Bringing back so good memories, the hours played in Wow were never wasted! I think it was the best part of my teenage and student life 🧡
Really great. Thanks for this! Enjoyed it 100%! Hope to see you walk with me too!

Какая же все таки душевная локация, а музыка только дополняет это ощущение!
I love it. So soothing and peaceful.
One of my fave zones.
Prepping for my classic WotLK experience!!
I remember sitting with my dad for HOURS, watching him level and asking question after question. We bonded over WoW, Diablo and gaming in general. I think that's why, even though my dad has quit the game, I still play and love the game to this day.
Now, with the re-release of the older expansion, I get to experience the game in a WHOLE different light... it's been super amazing honestly.
Nothing less than a masterspiece - thank you blizzard!

I cannot believe this was 14 years ago...
Whoever liked this comment is a cool and popularastic.
It’s beauty is unreal, just like my love-“hate” relationship with WoW. Wonderful once more 💜
The storm peaks please, that's the most epic one!!!
Great work as always. Anyone else getting distortion at 7:20?
Yes, this really pulls me out of concentration every time that passage plays. I stopped listening to this video as a result. Would love to see a fixed version of this.
Yes, made me panic becuse I thought there's something wrong with my new speakers lol
I still never played this game, but this is absolutely beautiful! ♥️👍🎶
Grizzly Hills is one of my all-time favorite zones in wow ♥♥♥
This music sounds like II WW Company of Brothers stuff. Very emotional
this doesnt sound like something that should be in a video game, it is simply THAT good

Cheeky little Grizzly Hills video before Classic Wrath?
Yeah, I'm down! ^^
I love this music and this location 😍
Those were some good times, doesn't seem that long ago but then you realize it's been 14 years ...
Nice video and music well done enjoyed the classic games more than modern
i love ur videos
