I don’t know if you’ll see this, but the music box theme for the final level (A melody to break the curse) has to be one of the best pieces I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. It perfectly captures the feelings I associate with that part in the story. There’s a nice mellow section where I imagine the hero remembering all he’s been through. He stands there, the last hero in the cycle, the only one who can save humanity and break the curse. Then the music kicks it up a notch, and I can only imagine the scene of the Messenger deftly making his way through the box. Cutting down enemies, dodging traps, all his experience having lead to this moment he makes no mistakes. He can see the light at the end, this is it. The end of it all, the nightmare, the curse, he can do it. It’s a very powerful image, reinforced a thousand-fold by your music. Thank you for an epic end to a fantastic tale, told through music.
I just cried when I got inside the music box! Exactly how I felt during the whole level. At the moment you're talking about Rainbowdragoneyes got me right in my meowmeow, so ever since that's my favorite soundtrack from entire game
It feels like your words are exactly coming out of my mind.......easily one of the best, in my opinion (the best) chiptune melody in the history of gaming. ❤🙏
For a game as funny as The Messenger I wasn't expecting such a beautiful and emotionnal music as the Final Level, but here we are definitly my favorite music of the OST.
Actually couldn't be more agree on this. The harmony between the level design where the traps don't start to move till the melody stars to play, is insane. ❤🙏
As much as I already want a sequel to The Messenger, I want none other than Rainbowdragoneyes to score the OST for the sequel. Nothing more, nothing less, just more of the same is good enough for me. You guys did an awesome job with the OST of The Messenger and I just cant stop listening to it. Hats off to Rainbowdragoneyes!!! You have my complete support and I appeal to others to fully support Rainbowdragoneyes for the sequel.
My understanding is he is an employee of the company and I do not see any reason he would not produce/score next game as well if there is one. Assuming rainbowdragoneyes is the same person
I know this is a year old comment, but your wish has come true, a new Messenger prequel/sequel is coming out this year, and none other than Rainbowdragoneyes is making the new OST
When I got to bamboo creek in the game (8 bit) I basically stopped to look up remixes on the 'tube immediately. Missed opportunity to name it Bamboo Boogaloo II: Bamboo Boogaloo
The Messenger is my favorite game. I'm very grateful to know this game through the Xbox Game Pass. I loved the work done on that game. Thanks for everything.
I'm playing through The Messenger right now and enjoying the hell out of it. What really makes it stand out is this unbelievable soundtrack and how it transitions from past to future and in and out of water. Soooooo good. These tunes are right up there with some of my faves (Megaman 2, Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Street Fighter 2). All hail Rainbowdragoneyes!
Man this ost is such a love letter to oldschool game music, like... it really gives me the feels. Just beat the game too, it was awesome. Except the part where I died like a thousand times running from that eldritch beastie and thought my thumbs were gonna fall off
While playing this game I would quite literally just stop at certain intervals and rave to the sound track. I just had to put the pad down and drown my ears in this incredible amalgamation of sounds.
just started playing The Messenger, just wanted to say this soundtrack hit me so hard in the nostalgia...especially when the 16-bit music kicks in...so far The Frozen Dark is my favorite track...both 8-bit and 16-bit
Your soundtrack totally makes the game, it's some of the best chiptunes I've ever heard. You've just reached godlike status with a single soundtrack, you rarely see that happen. Very good job!
18:58 This is one of the best tracks, even if it isn't as melodic as most of the other tracks. Probably because I heard it most often. Not necessarily for the longest time, but very regular during the whole game.
Literal, me enamoró este juego desde cuándo lo pusieron en el gamepass, me fascinó mucho.. Su ambientación, su música, la dificultad, las referencias a demás juegos, su historia y humor, me encantaron y me regreso a mi niñez. Se los recomiendo
Es la prueba de que nunca es tarde para descubrir un juego ! Han pasado casi 3 años desde que lo terminé, y las músicas aún están grabados en mi mente 😌 (Lo siento por mi español tan académico, ¡el aprendizaje en Francia es bastante básico! 😬)
I don't exaggerate when I say that the soundtrack to this game is easily up there as one of my top favorite soundtracks of all time. No, not just video game soundtracks, but soundtracks _period._ If only this game were bigger so that there'd be a bigger music cover/remix scene for it.
Yeah, I suppose so. I guess it's only a matter of time! I have come across a really good remix of Bamboo Boogaloo and a pretty good cover of Harnessing the Wind already.
Great work! Amazing soundtrack. I love that the samples sound much more like the Sega Genesis which had a more distorted gritty sound than the smooth SNES sounds. It fits great with the game and adds to the ambiance.
Pretty sure it uses proper 4-op fm synth like on the mega drive/genesis, not just samples from it as there are a lot of modulation effects used and it seems to adhere to the same limitations of 5 fm channels, 1 sample channel and 4 psg channels.
Believe me or not but I will always remember the moment when I hit that bong and I entered the underworld and the theme started playing and I was like alriiight and i kind of speedrunned the first half of it without dying or slowing down. It was a perfect night
I remember when I first found your music through your youtube channel back in The Secret Mirror days, and I'm so glad you're getting mainstream attention because I always knew the music was good enough.
I beat this game a while back and even now the soundtrack hits me in all the right feels. The game, with its amazing controls and hands down the best movement of any sides roller, and the soundtrack just fitting every single level so perfect, is an absolute masterpiece and I can safely say it's my favorite game. Every level and thus every song had me just stop a bit and listen and jam out. It is just so damn satisfying that every song gets me pumped as I run, jump, glide, slash, and dart my way through each level. 11/10 would absolutely love for a second messenger game as long as you do the soundtrack and the movement is as good as it is in the first!
@Criminal Scum the shopkeeper if i am not wrong says that because of the curse every adventure that died there become a mushroom monster, and in game the mushrooms in the background looks like they are singing some parts of the music
Cloud Ruins = Best Music, plus the mega drive/genesis soundfont used is so damn good (the snes/Super Famicom doesnt have the blast processing to play this soundtrack)
My three favourites: Bamboo Boogaloo, and A Melody to Break the Curse. For me, the standout tracks from a soundtrack where picking standouts is almost impossible.
Tower of time is my fav track, specially cz it plays differently in each ear when u're using earbuds. I didn't have my right earbud on and went "wow why does the music sound different", it's like u get 2 different tunes in one track. The end staff credits is also a banger!
I'm like 1 min into this soundtrack and I'm buying the game because of this. Damn. Disc-1 being 8-bit: The Past and Disc-2 being 16-bit: The Future is such a cool idea.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's so good
Not a single bad track in this entire soundtrack... Amazing!
Indeed an insanely good retro vibes ost !!

I completely agree.. My favorite song on the soundtrack... especially the half-step breakdown towards the end.
For a game as funny as The Messenger I wasn't expecting such a beautiful and emotionnal music as the Final Level, but here we are definitly my favorite music of the OST.
No se quien eres, pero tu comentario fue de los más genial que he leído en semanas, mis respetos hombre
1:10 gives me chills every damn time
wu3nt3 “Here we go again!”
YES!!
Everyone, please stand for the anthem.
uuuUUUUUU
God I love it so much
"A Melody to break the Curse" is one of my favorite videogame songs of all time. So much emotion is packed into it while also being an energetic jam.
And the stage moves in the beat of the song.
Actually couldn't be more agree on this. The harmony between the level design where the traps don't start to move till the melody stars to play, is insane. ❤🙏
18:03 Those deep amiga vibes, splendid.
30:08 is the best ever
31:14 🥰 when that beat drops

Perhaps he`ll be working on that new game called Sea of Stars. That would be dope.
Omkara Hellcore he is
Genseot Wait, there’s a sequel/prequel?
I’m looking around and can’t seem to find it.
I cannot express how much I love the tower of time theme.
The one that brought me here too.
me too
Along with the (Music Box) theme, two of the best among all of the other gems. masterpiece. ❤🙏
The shop theme is the best game shop OST ever. Period
17:15
Everytime I hear this I feel like I'm home
It’s such a good theme for a hub area
2:34 give me chills all the time
"Evil Manfred" that's just the best soundtrack name I've ever heard
buying this game because of the soundtrack!
Buy it for the soundtrack, keep it for the gameplay.
Beat it and replaying it just to listen to it now.
İt Worth
check door kickers action squad :D soundtrack and cheesy violence make this game
Same thing happened with me and the game, *_"Furi"_* tbh
Bamboo Boogaloo II is a 100% Premium AAA Grade banger.
Oh Bill, you know my Jam
My nigga right here
Favorite song for sure
When I got to bamboo creek in the game (8 bit) I basically stopped to look up remixes on the 'tube immediately.
Missed opportunity to name it Bamboo Boogaloo II: Bamboo Boogaloo
fact
The Messenger is my favorite game. I'm very grateful to know this game through the Xbox Game Pass. I loved the work done on that game.
Thanks for everything.
1:09 and 45:55 masterpieces. I can't stop admiring!
I love 16-bit visuals and music, and this game has some of the best I've seen and heard!
Great ost, great lore, great game!
I'm playing through The Messenger right now and enjoying the hell out of it.

Ill Never Get Bored Of This Game’s Soundtracks
Man this ost is such a love letter to oldschool game music, like... it really gives me the feels. Just beat the game too, it was awesome. Except the part where I died like a thousand times running from that eldritch beastie and thought my thumbs were gonna fall off
“This ones my favorite.... wait, this one is... never mind I love this one.... no no no no THIS one is my favorite... wait never-
everyone with the ost:
While playing this game I would quite literally just stop at certain intervals and rave to the sound track. I just had to put the pad down and drown my ears in this incredible amalgamation of sounds.
KILLER OST! One of the best 16 bit soundtracks I have ever had the pleasure to listen to!
just started playing The Messenger, just wanted to say this soundtrack hit me so hard in the nostalgia...especially when the 16-bit music kicks in...so far The Frozen Dark is my favorite track...both 8-bit and 16-bit
That's one premium quality OST if I ever heard one
Underrated track, "Manfred the Sky Serpent" 40:39
I honestly love this one and dont know why more people don't talk about it
8:59 all the way
Your soundtrack totally makes the game, it's some of the best chiptunes I've ever heard. You've just reached godlike status with a single soundtrack, you rarely see that happen. Very good job!
38:40 Feel like i could hear that in a rave or something , damn that's a banger ! The demons are throwing a rave in their lair ahahah !
por isso o sofismuto tá sempre bebendo antes de salvar o mensageiro
OST makes 50% of the game. Thank you for awesome tracks
18:58 This is one of the best tracks, even if it isn't as melodic as most of the other tracks.

c'est vrai, j'ai eu des frissons
brictus j bonjour à toi le francophone !
OMG sunken shrine's track is so good. Need more loops! :)
Wait, this isn't the right soundtrack. There's no interludes from Quibble all the time.
27:49 After beating the matriarch i fell asleep and then wake up with this song, that was great ^^
The best track on the list
@@Ravisherrr honestly, probably one of my least favorites. So ear-splitting and sappy, and generic. Not to mention like 20 seconds.
Fantastic music, past and future, loved it through the game. And now can't get it out of my head....
CANT ... GET ... ENOUGH ...
I don't exaggerate when I say that the soundtrack to this game is easily up there as one of my top favorite soundtracks of all time.
No, not just video game soundtracks, but soundtracks _period._ If only this game were bigger so that there'd be a bigger music cover/remix scene for it.
game is decently sized already
Yeah, I suppose so. I guess it's only a matter of time! I have come across a really good remix of Bamboo Boogaloo and a pretty good cover of Harnessing the Wind already.
Their new game sea of stars has a good few remixes of themes from the messenger in addition to more great music by the same composer
Glacial Peak is just the best. That intro is godly and when the bass comes in...damn.
I legit do weightlifting to this soundtrack.
same lol
Still do?
Aye same
Great work! Amazing soundtrack. I love that the samples sound much more like the Sega Genesis which had a more distorted gritty sound than the smooth SNES sounds. It fits great with the game and adds to the ambiance.

I remember when I first found your music through your youtube channel back in The Secret Mirror days, and I'm so glad you're getting mainstream attention because I always knew the music was good enough.
One of those soundtracks when u cant choose ur favorite theme
Crazy Music. I listen it like 100 times, it's just perfect. And the game is fucking great... !

Bruh I just stood there in shock when it first showed up and it ate me lmao
6:58 MY JAM
All the comments are God damn right, this ost rulz from the beginning till the end ❤
i haven't fallen this much in love with a game's soundtrack since hotline miami from 2012.
37:29 Yessss
why there is 18 dislikes?
47:00 amazing!!
Best game soundtrack ever made. There is nothing coming even close.
Don't forget about Nier and Nier:Automata

Harnessing the wind has no reason to slap this hard
Whoever made these tracks was doing gods work, holy shit
Music that legends are made of.
damn, can´t decide which is the best: cloud ruins, searing crags or autumn hills, simply awesome!
This soundtrack always reminds me of jazz jackrabbit so much, it was one of my favourite games as a child.
Harnessing the wind for the win
Civilization In The Sky is an awesome song tbh
Autumn Hills is my jam. Great job Rainbowdragoneyes.
Yes, both versions.
Past version has some goofy vibe but still great
Keep coming back for Manfred
Fingers crossed for a physical. I'm waiting patiently!
10:49 sounds like someone singing and they are the adventures that become monsters of the forest
@Criminal Scum the shopkeeper if i am not wrong says that because of the curse every adventure that died there become a mushroom monster, and in game the mushrooms in the background looks like they are singing some parts of the music
maybe they try to warn us but mushrooms can't talk
@@wgtjunior8975 but they can sing. If you look at the mushroom lamps they sing the background chorus part at 11:33

Haha them's fighting words!
But yeah I love the different soundfonts and hadn't heard that term before, so thanks for that!
@@nameforcomments4092 fax the best is obviously sunken shrine!

Great sound! Found you through Humble Bundle and now I'm subbed!
We need guitar tabs for this soundtrack.

amazing work Sir.
