2mello When you made this, the background pitch, were you considering Donkey Kong? Gives me Aquatic Ambiance vibes; just the way the pitch flows. It sounds great though!
Mirror temple: Sometimes, I... don't really know... what's going on anymore. I... I don't... know who I am. I just... look in the mirror, and... don't know who I'm looking at. Or... who's looking at me. I... think a lot... about... where... my train of thought is going... and it's not always a good place. And that scares me. I don't... like... scaring myself. I don't... B side: *now that's some funky depression*
"It's the temple remix, featuring your boy Mix Master Theo!" I gotta hand it to everyone who worked on Celeste. They all did a marvelous job! Celeste will probably be my favorite game of 2018, since it's had a pretty big effect on my life, as it helped me just regain my motivation to face life head on instead of running away from all my problems.
The original track conveyed the proper depression that Madeline was suffering through, especially at that moment. The B-side remixes of these levels, often have a creative outsider's look on said music tracks, as if to establish these are more to be played strictly from the gameplay side. ...This is just a straight-up blues version of the Mirror Temple theme. God fucking damn it, that is clever.
Yeah, the music in each chapter accompanies the level, makes you feel what Madeline is feeling, and makes the game way more immersive. Meanwhile, the B-side remixes are just music for music, with no specific goal in mind besides causing an eargasm, which this absolutely nails.
Eh, I honestly think many of the B sides still fit the tone of the level, just as... well, like you said, a creative outsider's look on them. The ironic thing is that i think the Mirror Temple remix is no exception, and is even one of the prime examples in my opinion- it's incredibly catchy and groovy, yes, but it's also tense, like you're unsure of how confident you are in overcoming such a place, even if you appear stalwart on the outside. That's how mental illness can often depict itself, as a stalwart person who is shattered on the inside. You can even see this directly in the song, as it has a tense sounding choir in the background as well as the kind of random snare percussion you sometimes hear in In The Mirror. In other words, 2 Mello is seriously fucking galaxy brain.
It's like Theo realized how emotionally intense the original mirror temple music was and made the B-side the most chilled out groove ever for when you have to return.
As your average Celeste player, I'm not scared of anything except Chapter 3… and Chapter 6's ridiculously too long beginning dialogue. Okay seriously though why is chapter 3 so evil heck I’m saving 3B to as late as possible
Gods Will be Watching is great but theres only one realy peacefull track,but that 1 track is my fav. videogamesoundtrack.Ironicly it plays while you climb a mountain:D ruclips.net/video/3NyWQo_JB98/видео.html
Eric Aguilar there's FTL too, which has really good sountracks, such as civil (explore), engi (explore and battle) and Rockmen (explore and battle). Oh, and Ben Prunty, its composer, also made the ruins level B-side sountrack.
@@fizzypopex i mean just because it's the easiest doesn't mean it's easy as a standalone also i suffered at the first room. 2nd and 3rd were really easy
Cool Aesthetic? Check. Great Mechanics? Check. Banger Music? Check. Actually fair difficulty that doesn't push itself way too far like Chapter 4 did? Check. Theo? *Check.* I hate to say it, but this is probably the best B-side out of the regular levels.
Wait til' the next B-sides. You won't regret it, tho. The music is fire. You actually might regret the part where your house is burnt down, but the music is great!
SPOILER WARNING You know, recently, I made a discovery about the Mirror Temple. Yes, it's supposed to enhance your anxiety, make you uncomfortable, anxious, but it's mainly Madeline helping Theo confront his problems before she confronts her's. You see, at first, you're simply trying to get to Theo after he runs away, isolates himself to try and appease others, puts pressure on himself. Than, you find him, out of reach, needing help, and you have to save him. After you find him, you discover that he needs to solve his problems himself, but you can still help him never the less, by bringing him to the problem, and having him approach, confront, and defeat it. All the while, Madeline is using all of this to help her escape her own problems, instead of confronting them, even though they are straight in her face. And the only reason she discovered them in the first place is because she had to discover Theo's problems, and help him. His problems made her discover her own. After they escape the mirror temple, Theo chats with Madeline to enter the final steps of healing, while Theo helps Madeline enter the first steps in healing, which is confronting her problems.
@@Ascera_exists golden feather WOULD be a delight to listen to but since my brain associates it with 4b it just gives me pure dread shame, it's a great mix
I'm a 53 year old woman and I have never been this blown away by music like this! I got freakin' goosebumps! AMAZING! You guys nailed it. It's like an acid trip; so incredible that there are no words to describe it! The song is...WOW and the video is like
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I heard some buzz and went "huh, wonder what this Celeste thing is, let's torrent it". After beating the Old Site, I closed down the game and went straight to Steam to buy, because the game was literally making me grin like an idiot, I was having *so* much fun. Great investment. Currently Celeste is my GotY up to here, and this is a year with Monster Hunter World, so the bar was *real* high!
Just a heads up, you shouldn't pirate games. If a game has good reviews, and the developers put time and effort and money into something, It's really disrespectful to pirate something. I can understand if it's an awful game, and maybe you just want to try it (ex. No Man's Sky), but especially with indie games, its hard enough to make living off of them anyway.
I keep coming back to this track, of all the tracks, almost daily. It's so chill that it almost feels out of place in Celeste, this otherwise infuriating but perfectly controlled platformer - but that's one of the perks of the soundtrack you've created, that it manages to keep the player in that state of 'just psyched enough' to persevere without feeling under too much pressure. The normal world Mirror Temple was tense, atmospheric, and almost lonely, transitioning later into feeling like it was pushing you on with that slowly encroaching Lovecraftian horror. The B-side was the most astonishing difference and it was a joy to play through the Mirror Temple with this funky, jazzy chill just hanging out. Flying eyeteeth monsters? Whatev, man, we chill. Beautiful.
Biggest problem with Summit B side is that the music is super quiet, and I was only focusing on my deaths rather than the music. Mirror temple B was super hard but really fun and calm to play through because of this jazzy ass remix, definitely my favorite track in the game. EDIT: Gonna clarify here, the soundtrack itself isnt super quiet but during a few sections (notably Resort, Ridge, and Summit proper) the track can fail to play correctly, and only some of the ambient tracks play. Dont even know if its a bug or not, but it really bothered me.
i had this playing in my headphones as i graduated high school today. walking across the school with everyone else who was graduating, with the entire rest of the school watching. then walking back, seeing my high school for the very last time, knowing i was never going to be there again. this song... it just fit the entire experience so well. and now i cant help but be nostalgic for that place, even though i just left.
You know, I see a lot of people in this comment section saying that Lena Raine did a great job on this track. But let it be known, *she did not make this!!!* 2 Mello is the one that made this song, and they're the one that deserves credit for doing such a phenomenal job on it!
i absolutely adore how ironic this remix is. traversing through the claustrophic walls of an ancient temple, running away from monsters that want to tear you apart, carrying your friend through the pit of hell, all while the smoothest, most chillax jazz is playing in the background
I played Mirror Temple for the first time as a kid and barely finished it, but couldn't go back and replay it after I had finished it because I was too unnerved by the music and the themes of self-doubt that hit a little too close to home. Years later, after beginning my transition and playing Celeste again, I got to the Mirror Temple B-Side and dreaded playing it because of those traumatic feelings of self-doubt. I could've just quit right there; I had ample opportunity and reason to do so. Instead, I found myself with my new favorite song and playing, in my opinion, the most well designed and hype level in any video game. That file has become my (near) 100% complete file. This song, along with the B-Side accompanying it, almost singlehandedly shot Celeste to my favorite video game of all time--tied with Terraria. Much love to Lena Raine, 2-Mello, and all who worked on the masterpiece of modern art called Celeste 💖
Playing 5b ( raging ) and vibing to the tune, listen to 2Mello's albums in the evening, only to realize he was the producer of the mix has got to be one of the best felling ever😂🤩 Bro's just always peak!
To turn a discordant and ambient piece into such a groovy track, and yet it continues to give off the sinister vibe of the original. I think I found my favorite Celeste track, and there was stiff competition to boot. Well done.
This was disturbingly fitting with the feeling of being unsure whether something horrible has happened and trying to distract yourself by playing a game because you know you can't do anything about it
It is impossible to get bored listening to this. It is such a banger I can listen to it literally all day ( it goes so well with rainy days too try it ;) )
For some reason, out of all the highlights of this song, the tiny phrase at 2:46 is like actual crack for me. The way that voice flows smoother than any sentence I’ll ever utter in my life is honestly addictive as hell.
This is genuinely so good and rich with feeling, its perfect! I feel melqncholy, angst, regret and the piano is beautiful yet haunting, the strings add drama, i genuinely can't describe how much i love this
Frustrations abound during this particular B-Side, but the music more than makes up for it. Especially the room with the 4 Spirit Locks and those platforms that move when you dash. I think I died a lot in that room until I figured it out. My boss was grinning like a Cheshire cat when he saw my slip-ups. *EDIT, 14TH DEC 2018:* It was a pity, in a way, when I had to leave that workplace back in July 2018, for a job up north. Thanks for having me around, Kendrick! (the boss of *VR Lab Subang Jaya* , the place I once worked for, since October 2016.) God bless ya.
EmblemBlade9 The boss I've got is a rather cool guy. That, and I'm working at a VR games place, and when there's no customers, I play a few games, VR or otherwise, to pass the time.
We run all our games with the HTC Vive hardware, and of course, Steam software. ^_^ In other words, we use PCs for our VR needs. In my case, there's one PC that functions as a test area for newer VR games, so I downloaded Celeste on it, and played the heck out of it when business was a little slow. Of course, my favourite VR games here include Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope, and Space Pirate Trainer. The latter's good for fancy footwork while avoiding enemy fire. ^_^;
On a side note, if anyone knows how to jump off spikes effectively without dying on them, like I've seen in several Golden Flying Strawberry vids of Chapter 1-C, do let me know. It's an absolute pain to get that wretched piece of golden fruit without even using the Dash, so...
Damn, this takes me back to a tough time in my life. I used to listen to this song all the time. Wasn't really that long ago, but it sure feels like it. So much has happened since then. It still makes me feel the same. It was like an opening up of my mind of sorts to what life is like on a bigger scale, idk. I miss the smaller scale lol. But like, I don't really want to go back there.
"It's the temple remix, featuring your boy Mix Master Theo!" I loved this game. I wish I had never played it, just so I could play it again for the first time.
This song randomly got stuck in my head a few days ago, even though I haven't heard it in a long time and am just now adding these Celeste tracks into my mix
Still can't believe 2 Mello made a song for Celeste. I absolutely love their Jet Set Radio tribute album, and this seems to have similar vibes to some of the songs on that album.
i have not heard this song in a year and having it come on in my playlist i made at the perfect time, right as i finished my homework, i was just jamming to it. I gave a comment on my worst syncing with this, and afterwards hiting the griddy, kazstocy or whatever it is kick, break dancing, all to this song
Imagine walking into a dark, twisted Zelda temple filled with spikes, complicated travel mechanisms, and eyeball monsters, and all of a sudden you find a separate room, where you're greeted by... "Ah, salutations, my children! Are you all ready for your daily dose of smooth jazz?"
To this day every time I listen to this track I'm just so surprised by how fun it is while holding on to that vibe of mystery that made the original Mirror Temple tracks so good in the first place. Bloody hell it's good.
Thanks! I played those games a lot when I was younger and hooked my tape recorder up to the TV so I could grab the tunes from the music test and take them to school with me :D so definitely a big inspiration
I watched a friend stream part of this game and fell in love with this song immediately. I don't think I've bought a soundtrack for a game I haven't played before this one.
This is the only B-Side that hasn't pissed me off like shit so far, and that's thanks only to this soundtrack masterpiece. Sometimes I just stood there listening to this bang of a beat
3 years ago this song was recommended to me on spotify without me knowing nothing about celeste 3 years in the future i'm here waiting for my HRT appointment which is now in 7 days, thank you celeste s2
How do you make one of the most somber and dark songs in the game jazzy and calming but still keeping some of that darkness in the music, this is how. This is honestly my favorite B-Side Level, the music makes it 100x better
youtube recommendations what have you brought me to today, yet another indie game with an amazing soundtrack edit: then i played celeste a few months later, no regrets
This is my favourite B-side remix. I've heard this song so many times, and I came back to it after about a month and randomly got chills. Thank you for this epic tune!
YoooooOOooo
Thanks everyone for the love :D
No thank you! :))
Hey thanks for making the B-side! This was one of the stand out tracks for me for sure. Definitely checking out the rest of your stuff :)
Thank you, hope you enjoy more of it :)
2mello When you made this, the background pitch, were you considering Donkey Kong?
Gives me Aquatic Ambiance vibes; just the way the pitch flows. It sounds great though!
Only after I made it did I consider the similarity, but thank you!! I love those soundtracks.
I love how Theo still has his little remarks in the B-Side.
“This room is clearly impossible.”
"Is this even canon?"
It felt so good to find out what I needed to do in the "clearly impossible" room.
Ethy That room wasn’t too bad for me compared to the one right before it
Theo shouldve said it in reflection bside instead
I actually found the "clearly impossible" to be one of, if not the, easiest room in that entire B-Side.
Mirror temple: Sometimes, I... don't really know... what's going on anymore. I... I don't... know who I am. I just... look in the mirror, and... don't know who I'm looking at. Or... who's looking at me. I... think a lot... about... where... my train of thought is going... and it's not always a good place. And that scares me. I don't... like... scaring myself. I don't...
B side: *now that's some funky depression*
Yeah that‘s what the voice said when you turn everything backwards
You got featured on /r/Celeste dude!
Most depressing game easter egg

"This isn't canon, is it ?"

Friendly reminder to come back and give this song a listen once more.
@@thepixelkings3491 yeah
i had this playing in my headphones as i graduated high school today. walking across the school with everyone else who was graduating, with the entire rest of the school watching. then walking back, seeing my high school for the very last time, knowing i was never going to be there again. this song... it just fit the entire experience so well. and now i cant help but be nostalgic for that place, even though i just left.
2017 was a great year for gaming, so I was thinking 2018 would have some tough shoes to fill, but it has started off phenomenally with this game
Well rip Pixelmon, this is the worst year.
@Tyler Law
Truth. 2017 had Hollow Knight, and 2018 has Celeste. It's been a great couple years for indie games.
@@cheEZy_boi_nips dafuq is that
2019 coming up
@@Valstrax420 well, Nintendo did fine.
You know, I see a lot of people in this comment section saying that Lena Raine did a great job on this track. But let it be known, *she did not make this!!!*
2 Mello is the one that made this song, and they're the one that deserves credit for doing such a phenomenal job on it!
shoot 'rannies
the violin part is just fucking undescribable, it's so freacking fucking incredibly good.
god fuck
i absolutely adore how ironic this remix is. traversing through the claustrophic walls of an ancient temple, running away from monsters that want to tear you apart, carrying your friend through the pit of hell, all while the smoothest, most chillax jazz is playing in the background
Love the jazzier tone of this one compared to most of the other amazing tracks.
Agreed. Celeste is a great game with music that made it legendary
I wasn't gonna work on this b-side yet, but I heard the music and I HAD to.
This song.
This fucking song has been playing in my head for the past week and a half.
I love it.
I played Mirror Temple for the first time as a kid and barely finished it, but couldn't go back and replay it after I had finished it because I was too unnerved by the music and the themes of self-doubt that hit a little too close to home. Years later, after beginning my transition and playing Celeste again, I got to the Mirror Temple B-Side and dreaded playing it because of those traumatic feelings of self-doubt.
I could've just quit right there; I had ample opportunity and reason to do so. Instead, I found myself with my new favorite song and playing, in my opinion, the most well designed and hype level in any video game. That file has become my (near) 100% complete file. This song, along with the B-Side accompanying it, almost singlehandedly shot Celeste to my favorite video game of all time--tied with Terraria.
Much love to Lena Raine, 2-Mello, and all who worked on the masterpiece of modern art called Celeste 💖
Constantly coming back to this song, it’s too great
It's incredible
Playing 5b ( raging ) and vibing to the tune, listen to 2Mello's albums in the evening, only to realize he was the producer of the mix has got to be one of the best felling ever😂🤩
Bro's just always peak!
To turn a discordant and ambient piece into such a groovy track, and yet it continues to give off the sinister vibe of the original. I think I found my favorite Celeste track, and there was stiff competition to boot. Well done.
This was disturbingly fitting with the feeling of being unsure whether something horrible has happened and trying to distract yourself by playing a game because you know you can't do anything about it
I keep coming back at this constantly. This is such a good track
Same
Yup
It is impossible to get bored listening to this. It is such a banger I can listen to it literally all day ( it goes so well with rainy days too try it ;) )
For some reason, out of all the highlights of this song, the tiny phrase at 2:46 is like actual crack for me. The way that voice flows smoother than any sentence I’ll ever utter in my life is honestly addictive as hell.
This is genuinely so good and rich with feeling, its perfect! I feel melqncholy, angst, regret and the piano is beautiful yet haunting, the strings add drama, i genuinely can't describe how much i love this
The kind of music that makes you dig yourself onto your own thoughts
Who knew you can keep dying over and over again and still love the song!
Honestly one of the greatest video game soundtracks to exist. This is in my top ten and has been for years. I love your music, Lena Raine.
A-Side temple: Depression, anxiety and suffering 💀
B-Side temple: Epic jazz vibes 🎶
Nah a side music has a nice swing to it
Frustrations abound during this particular B-Side, but the music more than makes up for it. Especially the room with the 4 Spirit Locks and those platforms that move when you dash.
I think I died a lot in that room until I figured it out. My boss was grinning like a Cheshire cat when he saw my slip-ups.
*EDIT, 14TH DEC 2018:* It was a pity, in a way, when I had to leave that workplace back in July 2018, for a job up north.
Thanks for having me around, Kendrick! (the boss of *VR Lab Subang Jaya* , the place I once worked for, since October 2016.)
God bless ya.
SaviourV Your boss was watching you play?
EmblemBlade9 The boss I've got is a rather cool guy. That, and I'm working at a VR games place, and when there's no customers, I play a few games, VR or otherwise, to pass the time.
SaviourV Cool! Was it just on a PC then, or did you have a console there?
We run all our games with the HTC Vive hardware, and of course, Steam software. ^_^
In other words, we use PCs for our VR needs. In my case, there's one PC that functions as a test area for newer VR games, so I downloaded Celeste on it, and played the heck out of it when business was a little slow.
Of course, my favourite VR games here include Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope, and Space Pirate Trainer. The latter's good for fancy footwork while avoiding enemy fire. ^_^;
On a side note, if anyone knows how to jump off spikes effectively without dying on them, like I've seen in several Golden Flying Strawberry vids of Chapter 1-C, do let me know. It's an absolute pain to get that wretched piece of golden fruit without even using the Dash, so...
So good. That jazz synth gives me some major Air vibes
Celeste is one of the best indie games of the 2010's.
*all time
Along with UNDERTALE and hollow knight
not only indies. its better than 99% of AAA games imo
By far this is the MOST fun B-Side to warm up muscle memory on. Seekers are the funniest boys
Damn, this takes me back to a tough time in my life. I used to listen to this song all the time. Wasn't really that long ago, but it sure feels like it. So much has happened since then. It still makes me feel the same. It was like an opening up of my mind of sorts to what life is like on a bigger scale, idk. I miss the smaller scale lol. But like, I don't really want to go back there.
Same life.
Kind of ironic that the dark phase of my life I entered into was largely a result of suppressing that fact that I'm trans.
"It's the temple remix, featuring your boy Mix Master Theo!"
I loved this game. I wish I had never played it, just so I could play it again for the first time.
This song is the only reason I managed to come even close to finishing this incredibly difficult level, goddam
its a mix between intense and jazz and i fucking love it so much
This has to be one of my favorite B-sides, in music and in gameplay.
You already know I'm going to be listening to this for hours. It has so much substance that it never gets tiring to listen to.
2Mello really just threw all the “fear and anxiety” parts of the song away and up and said “Ya like jazz?”
This song is actually TOO good
You guys need to be sealed away like some sort of mythical demon to save all other musicians from being overthrown
This is a tremendous masterpiece.
This song randomly got stuck in my head a few days ago, even though I haven't heard it in a long time and am just now adding these Celeste tracks into my mix
Thank you lena for introducing me to 2 mello's amazing artistry
This is how you make a good remix. He took the skeleton of the original song and completely changed the genre/tone
Still can't believe 2 Mello made a song for Celeste. I absolutely love their Jet Set Radio tribute album, and this seems to have similar vibes to some of the songs on that album.
i have not heard this song in a year and having it come on in my playlist i made at the perfect time, right as i finished my homework, i was just jamming to it. I gave a comment on my worst syncing with this, and afterwards hiting the griddy, kazstocy or whatever it is kick, break dancing, all to this song
My favorite celeste track, everything from the melody to the vibe I just adore so much.
The people says that SBU is gonna be the game of the year, but for me Celeste is the best game of 2018..
Well, now have two GOTY, i think it that deserve it
Lol there were quite a few games better than smash and celeste is definitely one of them
SBU?
@@TwistedMarshmallow smash bros ultimate
I wanna celeste stage so bad
Imagine walking into a dark, twisted Zelda temple filled with spikes, complicated travel mechanisms, and eyeball monsters, and all of a sudden you find a separate room, where you're greeted by...
"Ah, salutations, my children! Are you all ready for your daily dose of smooth jazz?"
Kelpy G 😳
Speaking of Zelda the Piano at the beginning is similar to temple of droplets in Minish Cap
I feel like this would happen in Candence of Hyrule
its ALWAYS good to be welcomed with a _jazz✨_
Lena!!! Thank you for your major contribution to this incredible game. Your music is mesmerizing and filled with so much emotion. We appreciate you!
I was doubtful on this mix until that beatdrop hits. Definetly the best B-side mix. FIRE 🔥🔥
To this day every time I listen to this track I'm just so surprised by how fun it is while holding on to that vibe of mystery that made the original Mirror Temple tracks so good in the first place. Bloody hell it's good.
I listen to this in math class. It’s great for getting me to focus on my work, thank you!
ISSAA MASTAPIECE BABYYYYYY
Reminds me of the water levels of Donkey Kong, but with a more funky tone
Yup.
Thanks! I played those games a lot when I was younger and hooked my tape recorder up to the TV so I could grab the tunes from the music test and take them to school with me :D so definitely a big inspiration
Iagocs15 definitely a very dated synth, reminiscent of Megaman 8 and pink floyd
Sounds kinda like funk/jazz/ambiant.
Makes sense because the Mirror Temple's regular theme definitely sounds a lot like the water levels in DKC
This song manages have smooth jazz and mostly keeps the sinister feeling of the mirror temple.It’s absolutely amazing
I watched a friend stream part of this game and fell in love with this song immediately. I don't think I've bought a soundtrack for a game I haven't played before this one.
This is one of if not the best song in the entire soundtrack!
This is absolutely the best B Side remix. Not even up for debate
I absolutely love this song
Probably my favorite song of the entire game. Love the jazz vibes
i just love this song to much, one of my favorite songs
This is the only B-Side that hasn't pissed me off like shit so far, and that's thanks only to this soundtrack masterpiece. Sometimes I just stood there listening to this bang of a beat
This almost makes being destroyed by disgusting alien like creatures enjoyable!
Almost...
imAAAAAGINATION
This actually made the Golden Strawberry enjoyable for me and I'm not even kidding
This is an amazing track! Gives me serious David Wise vibes. Just picked up the game. Please keep up the awesome work~
3 years ago this song was recommended to me on spotify without me knowing nothing about celeste
3 years in the future i'm here waiting for my HRT appointment which is now in 7 days, thank you celeste s2
How do you make one of the most somber and dark songs in the game jazzy and calming but still keeping some of that darkness in the music, this is how. This is honestly my favorite B-Side Level, the music makes it 100x better
celeste has the best ost i swear
you don't have to.
also i am an adhd author too.
@@mamaluigimusic commenting so that i have proof i listen to Lana Del Rey
youtube recommendations what have you brought me to today, yet another indie game with an amazing soundtrack
edit: then i played celeste a few months later, no regrets
I treasure this music as it’s what kept me from going insane during the last third of the level
Oh god have u beat chapter 9 yet
This is my favourite B-side remix. I've heard this song so many times, and I came back to it after about a month and randomly got chills. Thank you for this epic tune!
The amazing music and Theo's comments helped me get through this level
Never played the b sides, but this is my favorite song from Celeste. It's just too good!
