"It's okay to be scared." This is probably my favorite line in the entire game, because it's one of the very few things that's actually been able to give me hope. Because it tells me that I should accept my feelings, rather than trying to deny or reject them. I suffer pretty badly from depression. And often, when I'm feeling down down but think I shouldn't be, it just leads to a downward spiral where I feel like I'm totally useless and should never have been born. But trying to beat myself up over it isn't the answer. Instead, I should accept that this is a part of who I am. Not resign to it entirely--I still see it as an issue that still needs to be solved--but just... accept that this is a part of who I am right now. Because, the truth is, there'll be times where I'll get up in my own head, where I won't be able to push myself to do anything at all, where I beat myself up over things that don't matter. But it's not my fault that I feel that way. It's not my fault that my brain does these things. And trying to fight or deny those feelings doesn't make them go away. But accepting them is going to make them a lot easier to deal with. And it's not going to be easy. I won't always succeed. But every little bit helps. It's okay to be scared.
What you've said is a prefect representation of what this game shows & teaches its players. Celeste has one of the best stories I've ever seen in a game, in part because of how RELATIVE and RELATIVE it is to human experience. This has made it one of my favorite games of all time.
This is exactly how I feel listening to this song in-game. Thank you (also I've seen you I think? on the disc server, it's pretty cool you're here as well)
Watching the developement of Madeline, I realized how well represented her psychological processes were. This game is not just about an awesome platforming adventure, not about just about an incredible musical build up to the top of a mountain, but also the story of a girl that learnt to accept herself. It might seem as something out of common sense -to accept oneself, that is-, but the people who need to remember that the most are usually the people who have it the toughest. Depression is a cicle of self-consuming thoughts, refusal and fear. As it might seem reasonable, that is not the best state of mind to see yourself or others in other way different to that of a monster -refer to Madeline's little puppies-. Throught the story they teach us the importance of activating the organism -climbing isn't a light activity, and maintaining a healthy body plays a big role in fighting against depression-. It also shows us how talking to others can help you get things out of your "head", and how believing in something can become the light to guide the way. I find it safe to say that we all agree that Celeste is not just a game. It's not just a great soundtrack either. Or a story. Or a therapy. It's all of that, mixed together into something far greater.
@@andrehenrique976 One, don't call me Baddie. Madeline hated being called Maddie, and I completely understand. Two, I'm not adorable in any way. Three, I would like being called that more than an "adorable goth".
Badeline has her own leitmotif, in the form of the song "Resurrections" and here, you hear it meld with a less intense song, which is otherwise unheard in the game. Even on a musical level, Madeline is coming to terms with that Part of Her, and slowly becomes stronger than before for it. Amazing job, Lena Raine. You captured the feelings inherent in this moment perfectly.
Badelines Leitmotif is really a great part of the music of this game. It occurs at key moments in the game and is always varied to show Madeline's emotions. I have seldom heard a Leitmotif used in a better way than this. Out of the top of my head it plays at least in Resurrections, Reflections, the Fight theme after that, and this song. I can't remember whether it's also in the gondola scene and the confrontation before falling down to reflections
It plays faintly in Starjump if I remember correctly, but not in the Golden Ridge. My favorite use is in the background of reflection when you are close to the boss “fight”.
Can someone help me figure out what Badeline's leitmotif is? I only hear Madeline's theme in minor, and i don't know who's melody 0:58's is (i cant hear it in ressurections but its in reflections)
It's so strange... the message of the game made me realize something. Even if lots of people encouraged me to not be scared and not trying to escape my problems in my life, i never really believed them in my heart. I knew they were right, but i was still unable to react, to change my thinking. I kept believing that i couldn't change and achieve something that i would be proud of. What's worse, when you doubt of your ability to do anything you're starting to doubt of everything else, even the most important ones. I don't know how and why but this game helped me and showed what i needed to see. Even if Celeste is just a fiction, it still shows that people can have a lot of internal struggle, but also that it is possible to make peace with ourselves. That's what make us able to deal with our problems instead of escaping them. Of couse it's not an easy thing to do, that's one of the thing the game tried to explain in the fight with Badeline for example, but nevertheless the possibility will always exists, even when at rock bottom. Somehow it sounds a bit stupid to have such a reflexion just thanks to a video game... but you know what ? If this game is able to change people's lifes into something better by making them understand how to deal with their problems i guess it'll never be ridiculous. Thank you for existing Celeste. EDIT : Today i came back from a year where i studied abroad : i think i've never felt that much peace within myself, it was an incredible experience where i partially learned who i am. If it wasn't for Celeste i probably would have never tried, done nothing and stayed at home afraid... afraid of facing what i would have considered to be an "almost certain" failure, where all the chances for it to be a sucess were there too. It was another occasion that i would have missed without this game, so once again : Thanks to all of you who developped Celeste, i can hardly express how much i respect and appreciate what you've all done, not only on a technical level with a game extremely well constructed and very harmonious (design, music, gameplay...), but also on a human level with the story, the message and the unique way to communicate those. Thanks to you it's not in pain that i cry anymore...
does not sound stupid at all! no matter what others may say! and same! it was amazing not just cuz of the platforming experience but also the beautiful message it tells and the way it goes about doing so
I am a person that can detach themselves from the situation so that the feelings do not impact me as much as they should regularly. Many of my responses are muted, which is not always a good thing. And yet your comment made me tear up. Quite a lot. I may not be able to relate to your story, but I can try and feel how you do. And sometimes it works. I am not sure where I'm going with this, so... Good job, and good luck. If you keep going, I am sure you will be able to overcome anything. You might know that already, but the more people believe in it, the more real it becomes.
I love this scene with Madeline and Badeline. I mean who doesn't? Badeline has given up. She can't even stop the one she's trying to protect. She's taken Madeline's old words to heart and dubbed herself as useless. But Madeline's there to pick her up. She's changed. Madeline had learned to accept herself, now all she needs to do is let her brain catch up to her heart.
The timing for this song was impeccable. Goddamn impeccable. This piece, this piece right here, is my favorite piece in the game, and the sole reason I gave up on B-Sides to smash through the Summit right then and there.
It’s part of why I stopped caring for the strawberries as well. Already had like 100+ by the time this chapter came along so like.. could always get them later.
Melody Wawichi Exactly the same. I had gotten every strawberry through the first 5 chapters, but the last two I just plowed through because I wanted to get to the summit so badly. I was too caught up in the story 😅
Ah yes, The moment that I cried This game came at a difficult time in my life, when I was at an absolute low. The days leading up to getting this game were plagued with negative self talk and harmful thoughts and a low point in my depression. Then I decided to get something to keep myself busy and distracted and I decided on Celeste. I immediately fell in love with the presentation and the style and the charm and everything about it, but most of all the story. Celeste gave me a new perspective on the parts of me that I hated, and gave me a new way to view those thoughts, then this scene came. This scene had tears going down my face because of how perfect it felt and how close it hit to home, and this piece beautifully expanded that feeling. You know how most games either have a good story or good gameplay? Celeste has both
This game was so solid it didn't even need a story... But that story hits to home, love it and everything about Celeste, 100 hours later and I still can't put it down. Like you say, it came at the perfect time, I was in a similar place before this came out.
The thing I absolute love about this part, is that this part onwards, the game starts getting easier, somehow. At least for me, it felt like this. It's like her overcoming / accepting that Part of Her made everything easier; something which would be impossible if she never accepted herself.
Aw, don't worry! It did take a fair amount of attempts. I finished it all (and all strawberries too, except golden ones) with 4.200 deaths. The only secret is to keep playing if you're determined to get it! I don't think C sides are really for everyone, but if you really want it, all I can say is to keep trying and learn from each attempt.
@@Rickfernello I'm in that exact journey, all hearts and strawberries, except the golden cuz geez I am in the last screen of the game, but really scared of how freaking big it looks TuT Also, you've definetely got faster reflexes than I do, for I got 25k :') my bff keeps teasing me, saying there's still time to get to 30k

I've yet to play celeste. I've already spoiled myself. I don't care. I can relate to Badeline so much. I've been manipulated many times since I was very young, and I've grown paranoid because of it. What if someone's trying to manipulate me? Are they talking behind my back? Do they hate me? Are others manipulating my friends, are those really my friends at all? I had first chosen to be like Madeline. I only cared about my heart. I didn't see any signs. Now, badeline. In my paranoia and fear, I push people away. I even relate to Oshiro a bit. Too focused on pity-mongering to do anything. This game helped me realize so much, and the ending pointed me to a light. I think it's time I fight my own Badeline. Thank you so much, Lena.
I relate to that. You need to play Celeste. Everyone has their own personal demons. Everyone has flaws. And that is ok. Dealing with them is our own mountain we must climb. Climbing a mountain, completing a game with 25 golden strawberries, or overcoming your insecurities, none of those things will be easy, but the landscape of the summit is worth it.
Fun fact: Little Goth actually plays at chapter 3 at the cutscene where Badeline crawls out of the mirror and Mr. Oshiro looses it. At first, you can hear the third part of Resurrections playing, but after a while, the loop changes to the piano version.
I figured this out when I went to play badelines theme on my piano nearby after I start noticed it in this chapter. And then it switched to piano, so I switch my sound settings to synth with a surprise.
I checked by waiting on the cutscene in Chapter 2 and it plays there too. It seems the music that plays in both sections is a 2-minute loop (if I remember the length correctly; it was yesterday) consisting of the third section of “Resurrections” followed by the beginning of “Little Goth”.
This right here. This is the most powerful moment in the game. On my first playthrough when I went into the "Confronting Myself" boss fight, thrown into action with adrenaline rushing through my body, I thought for sure it would be the climax. But here it is. The slow, somber, yet intense piano piece adds so much to this scene. The dialogue between them had me the most engaged I'd ever been in this game, and it was a perfect moment to add right before The Summit. Chapter 6: Reflection was probably my favorite chapter for this reason. Not to say the rest of the game wasn't a masterpiece, but this is the example I point to specifically through this game where I see music, gameplay, and a meaningful narrative all mix into one brilliant piece of art. This game changed my life, I swear. Thanks to the team at Matt Makes Games.
oh my, was this played live on piano ? i think i can hear the pedals of the piano and the keys landing on the strings. it sounds so atmospheric and wonderful. i adore this soundtrack.
Accepting and coming to terms with your inner demons instead of trying to forget them or pretend they never happned. That's pretty much what this scene represented to me. I can definitely see why this game won awards for impact.
So... I'm not the only one that cried, right? Days after playing this game, after sleep, I kept having several breakdowns. I kept saying for myself that I was scared about how things would go, and that I shouldn't be bothering myself about those things, having a difficult time sleeping and waking up. But then I played Celeste. When Madeline was confronting herself, saying that she understands her and It's okay to be scared I started crying, man. It is hard to maintain this posture of being confident, It is hard to be always happy but thats okay. Its hard to select which soundtrack is my favorite, but this one brings tears in my eyes everytime. And this game is one of my favorites of all time
at around 1:32 you can hear the ascending notes getting faster and then being dragged back down again, its as if madeline's overconfidence and badeline's rationality both create a balance. throughout this entire half of the song this same pattern feels very calm and controlled. the louder section feels like she's ascending so high but at a slow and steady pace
I knew Celeste was a fun game from forms online so I decided to buy it and give it a go. I had NO idea what I was getting myself into. Not only was it a great platformer, but this game's story achieves something that not even triple A titles can achieve for me. I really felt closer and closer to Madeline as the story continued. Amazing soundtrack, amazing game.
I knew that the PICO Easter egg was foreshadowing the ability to double dash later in the game. You have no idea how pumped I was when Madeline's hair changed color
The part where men cried. The part where _I_ cried. Sometimes, it's so hard to remember... in our clutter of a life, we forget that it's okay. We forget that it's okay to stop and have a moment. To _feel,_ even. We end up thinking that there's no time to cry about things... No time to let it all out, in fear of it all being taken away... And though I know that sometimes I'll forget again, and everything will seem like it's falling apart... But then I come back to this. This game that, though harrowing, is spiritually rewarding. This soundtrack, that brings out the best of all my emotions. This _story_ that reminds me of the metaphorical beam of light in my metaphorical room of darkness. It all beings me to tears of relief, knowing that it's okay to not always be sure as long as you're determined. And no matter how many times I forget, looking back onto this... Looking back at this light... I'll remember. The music filled with all of the memories of playing through these games will always be able to remind me of it. ... So thank you. Not just you, but to _all_ the developers of Celeste. You all, when I needed it the most, reminded me... "It's okay to be afraid." I know that this comment is getting long... But fI honestly might not be alive right now had it not been for this game. I'm still depressed... life's pretty crummy overall... But now I understand how to come to terms with it all. How to deal with my... so-called crisis. I know I've already thanked you once, but I really can't enough... So thank you. So very, very much. For this. All of this. I appreciate it more than you could ever know. - A very depressed human being who got his shit together because of Celeste.
I can't believe this game came out over 6 years ago.. This was the first piece I played on piano after the usual "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and the likes. So much has happened since I played this game. Time flies!
Absolutely in love with this one rn because not only is it narratively perfect and perfect for the atmosphere of a casual playthrough, it’s also perfect when speedrunning. A moment of easy rooms after a lossy segment, a lull right before the race to the summit. Absolutely beautiful.
Initially, I thought I might be alone in saying that this game had such an impact on me, but seeing all of you in the comments shows how truly inspiring this game is. I truly, genuinely believe that everybody should play this game. The lessons it has to teach are conveyed perfectly and can change lives.
i know that the song is supposed to go with a scene from the game (which i haven't played yet), but my god, the song is so moving that you understand its meaning without the context.
All 43 songs in this soundtrack are absolutely phenomenal. All 21 from the base game, all 9 B-Sides' themes, and all 13 songs from Farewell. But the ones that I can't stress enough are my absolute favorite pieces of music in this game, even in all of gaming- hell, quite possibly in all of media itself, are the pieces that are either entirely piano, or mostly. Special shout-outs go to Awake, Postcard from Celeste Mountain (and The Empty Space Above), Reconciliation, and this game honestly wouldn't be the same if it weren't for Little Goth and Exhale. And it's not just this game either. The 3 new Nether songs added in Minecraft's 1.16 update, Chrysopoeia, Rubedo and So Below, are like this too. Most musicians and composers have a very "built-to-perfection" type of music. They make sure to include little-to-no background noise or sound effects. But not Lena Raine. She's different. She's special. You can hear minor imperfections like the damper pedal being pressed, or the keys being lifted. I love built-to-perfection music as much as the next guy, but this is a whole other level. It feels natural. You can feel every note she plays. You can feel her hands move across the piano. You can feel her pressing the damper pedal. You can _feel_ this song. I am fortunate enough to have never struggled with any sort of large-scale depression (and my heart goes out to all those who have), so this game wasn't able to cure anything along those lines from me, but it still hit further than home. Because this music feels like home. All I can say at this point is... thank you Lena Raine. This game wouldn't be the same if it weren't for you.
"Little Goth" contains a bit of the tail end of "Resurrections". But where the latter ended with despair ("I can't fight against myself"), this one is more of "We shouldn't fight each other, Part of Me. I know you're scared, and I'm scared too, but we'll keep moving forward together, one small step at a time. Together, we'll face life's challenges, and rebel against those that keep saying that it is impossible to go any further."
You have defeated yourself, and you have come to terms with your dark side. You are now a lot stronger. Hell, one might say you are capable of anything now, far beyond the summit of mount celeste. "Let's climb this mountain, together."
Yeah this game made me cry and it was this part of the game. I haven't cried at a videogame in years, but something about characters accepting each other and just, giving someone a hug gets to me. Same reason the ending of Undertales pacifist route was another moment that got me. This music as well, of course, is beautiful and moving, the entire soundtrack is a masterpiece but this is my favourite track.
2:21 this sudden little flourish reminding in a few notes that if you fall, it doesn't matter, everything is fine... This entire OST is a masterpiece, it's mind-blowing.
This theme. I will never get bored of listening the same motif over and over again, used so subtly. A truely special song, for a truely special soundtrack, for a truely special game.
I think what makes this song great on an entirely musical level, is how you can hear every sound and aspect of the piano. If you listen close enough, you can hear the levers turn every vast mechanism in the piano. If you're attentive enough, you can hear the gaps in the notes where Lena adjusts her hands. If you're quiet enough, you can hear every miniature tempo shift made when Lena gets into the song more, it's as if you can tell what her favourite parts of the song are. If you're really quiet, you can even hear how hard the keys are pressed, and where the mic was in relation to the piano. Things like this I think give a song more soul and character than many others. Don't get me wrong, I could jam out to 3-B or vibe with 5-B all day, but a song like this is rare to come by, and should be cherished.
I do not hear any gaps or pauses, just very strong accents. They are so strong because they are accompanied by counterpoint. But this combination can quite mess one's perception of rhythm, I may be wrong. This is definitely an interesting composition.
Martin Forró I'll admit, I don't really know much about piano, so I'm just going off what I hear. I can't deny it's intrigue, no matter how hard I could try.
@@valerium730 Completely subjective analogue. You get the same feeling when you climb stairs in darkness and you get to the top, but still expect another stair. Your step suddenly becomes heavy, and you stumble upon the lack of an obstacle.
OH, MY GOOOOOOOOOOOD, it's so precious 🥺🥺 This one goes really hard thru my heart, it's amazing, I have been listening to Celeste OST for years, but it still amazes me...
Before I finished the game, I avoided this song because it "sounded very scary". But now that I've finished it, it sounds WAY less scary and sort of happier I guess.
A great thing about this game is how most people can relate to it, it encompasses so many different experiences, from gender dysphoria to depression to anxiety, all of it is done so well and in a way where anyone can look at it and go "damn, she just like me fr fr"
"Won't that hurt you, too?" - Theo He was a real one for that. He knew that Madeline rejecting that part of herself was unhealthy. Even if Badeline did a lot of bad things, she was still trying to protect Madeline in her own twisted way.
I know this isn't the chapter where you reach the summit or anything, but this feels like the point in the story where everything has come together. Madeline has won over the demons in her head (at least as much as one can) and all there is left to do is the simple task of reaching the top. This feels like the most conclusive piece in the on-release OST and to me is what falling action after the climax sounds like.
I love how this sounds just like Resurrections/Awake/Chapter 2's songs, but it never escalates into that part of the song with the chase scene. It just gets more emotional. The OST really brought this game to life- and vice versa. These would be powerful pieces on their own, as would the game, but they amplify the effect of one-another. I don't think there could have been a better pick on who would compose the Celeste soundtrack. Truly one of my favourite artists, full stop. There's no doubt.
And when you finally confront your demons, you finally get it. You understand the “problem.” It’s not “them,” it’s you. YOU need help. YOU need to change, to accept this part of yourself. To love and understand yourself.

"It's okay to be scared."
This is probably my favorite line in the entire game, because it's one of the very few things that's actually been able to give me hope. Because it tells me that I should accept my feelings, rather than trying to deny or reject them.
I suffer pretty badly from depression. And often, when I'm feeling down down but think I shouldn't be, it just leads to a downward spiral where I feel like I'm totally useless and should never have been born.
But trying to beat myself up over it isn't the answer. Instead, I should accept that this is a part of who I am. Not resign to it entirely--I still see it as an issue that still needs to be solved--but just... accept that this is a part of who I am right now.
Because, the truth is, there'll be times where I'll get up in my own head, where I won't be able to push myself to do anything at all, where I beat myself up over things that don't matter. But it's not my fault that I feel that way. It's not my fault that my brain does these things. And trying to fight or deny those feelings doesn't make them go away. But accepting them is going to make them a lot easier to deal with.
And it's not going to be easy. I won't always succeed. But every little bit helps.

Badeline has her own leitmotif, in the form of the song "Resurrections" and here, you hear it meld with a less intense song, which is otherwise unheard in the game. Even on a musical level, Madeline is coming to terms with that Part of Her, and slowly becomes stronger than before for it. Amazing job, Lena Raine. You captured the feelings inherent in this moment perfectly.
Badelines Leitmotif is really a great part of the music of this game. It occurs at key moments in the game and is always varied to show Madeline's emotions.
I have seldom heard a Leitmotif used in a better way than this.
Out of the top of my head it plays at least in Resurrections, Reflections, the Fight theme after that, and this song.
I can't remember whether it's also in the gondola scene and the confrontation before falling down to reflections
It plays faintly in Starjump if I remember correctly, but not in the Golden Ridge. My favorite use is in the background of reflection when you are close to the boss “fight”.
@@15stargamer98 I think they mean they hear Badeline's leitmotif in Anxiety the song that plays after Golden.
Can someone help me figure out what Badeline's leitmotif is? I only hear Madeline's theme in minor, and i don't know who's melody 0:58's is (i cant hear it in ressurections but its in reflections)
@@Annexias Badeline's leitmotif _is_ Madeline's in minor, I believe.
It's so strange... the message of the game made me realize something. Even if lots of people encouraged me to not be scared and not trying to escape my problems in my life, i never really believed them in my heart. I knew they were right, but i was still unable to react, to change my thinking. I kept believing that i couldn't change and achieve something that i would be proud of. What's worse, when you doubt of your ability to do anything you're starting to doubt of everything else, even the most important ones.
I don't know how and why but this game helped me and showed what i needed to see. Even if Celeste is just a fiction, it still shows that people can have a lot of internal struggle, but also that it is possible to make peace with ourselves. That's what make us able to deal with our problems instead of escaping them. Of couse it's not an easy thing to do, that's one of the thing the game tried to explain in the fight with Badeline for example, but nevertheless the possibility will always exists, even when at rock bottom.
Somehow it sounds a bit stupid to have such a reflexion just thanks to a video game... but you know what ? If this game is able to change people's lifes into something better by making them understand how to deal with their problems i guess it'll never be ridiculous.
Thank you for existing Celeste.
EDIT : Today i came back from a year where i studied abroad : i think i've never felt that much peace within myself, it was an incredible experience where i partially learned who i am. If it wasn't for Celeste i probably would have never tried, done nothing and stayed at home afraid... afraid of facing what i would have considered to be an "almost certain" failure, where all the chances for it to be a sucess were there too. It was another occasion that i would have missed without this game, so once again :
Thanks to all of you who developped Celeste, i can hardly express how much i respect and appreciate what you've all done, not only on a technical level with a game extremely well constructed and very harmonious (design, music, gameplay...), but also on a human level with the story, the message and the unique way to communicate those. Thanks to you it's not in pain that i cry anymore...
Phazonyx Rarely I see someone thanking something simply for existing... What does this tell us?
That Celeste is one heck of a masterpiece.
Thank Matt Thorson, Lena Raine, and the rest of the team, for taking a small idea and making it into an adventure for our souls.
*salutes...*
does not sound stupid at all! no matter what others may say! and same! it was amazing not just cuz of the platforming experience but also the beautiful message it tells and the way it goes about doing so
Videos are art, of course you can reflect about them.
I am a person that can detach themselves from the situation so that the feelings do not impact me as much as they should regularly. Many of my responses are muted, which is not always a good thing.
And yet your comment made me tear up. Quite a lot. I may not be able to relate to your story, but I can try and feel how you do. And sometimes it works.
I am not sure where I'm going with this, so... Good job, and good luck. If you keep going, I am sure you will be able to overcome anything. You might know that already, but the more people believe in it, the more real it becomes.
I love this scene with Madeline and Badeline. I mean who doesn't? Badeline has given up. She can't even stop the one she's trying to protect. She's taken Madeline's old words to heart and dubbed herself as useless. But Madeline's there to pick her up. She's changed. Madeline had learned to accept herself, now all she needs to do is let her brain catch up to her heart.
The timing for this song was impeccable. Goddamn impeccable. This piece, this piece right here, is my favorite piece in the game, and the sole reason I gave up on B-Sides to smash through the Summit right then and there.
I feel like that's exactly what she was going for. Lena's music provided a lot of the most memorable and emotional moments.
It’s part of why I stopped caring for the strawberries as well. Already had like 100+ by the time this chapter came along so like.. could always get them later.
Melody Wawichi Exactly the same. I had gotten every strawberry through the first 5 chapters, but the last two I just plowed through because I wanted to get to the summit so badly. I was too caught up in the story 😅

Ah yes,
The moment that I cried
This game came at a difficult time in my life, when I was at an absolute low. The days leading up to getting this game were plagued with negative self talk and harmful thoughts and a low point in my depression. Then I decided to get something to keep myself busy and distracted and I decided on Celeste. I immediately fell in love with the presentation and the style and the charm and everything about it, but most of all the story. Celeste gave me a new perspective on the parts of me that I hated, and gave me a new way to view those thoughts, then this scene came. This scene had tears going down my face because of how perfect it felt and how close it hit to home, and this piece beautifully expanded that feeling. You know how most games either have a good story or good gameplay? Celeste has both
Implosive Typhlosion and amazing music as well
not just parts of you... Part Of You.
glad to see I’m not the only one who cried
This game was so solid it didn't even need a story... But that story hits to home, love it and everything about Celeste, 100 hours later and I still can't put it down. Like you say, it came at the perfect time, I was in a similar place before this came out.
Loads of games have good gameplay and a good story
The moment Madeline gained her Persona.
Carsten Kraft This comment made me laugh so much.
I'm dying over here
Actually, Steam card says that her name is Badeline
I call her Twisted Sister
I thought the same thing the second time I saw this.
She'd turn into Deimos.
You can't just go around hitting people in the feels like that
But it does, oh so beautifully.

@@Slime-ik9rw Not funny, didn't laugh.
when the music hits harder than the fight
The thing I absolute love about this part, is that this part onwards, the game starts getting easier, somehow. At least for me, it felt like this.
It's like her overcoming / accepting that Part of Her made everything easier; something which would be impossible if she never accepted herself.
Nice reflection, but *have* you played the B/C-Sides?
Yes., and finished them.
Ok, wow, now I feel like shit for doubting you
Teach me the way, master, for I have yet to beat the Core's C side
Aw, don't worry! It did take a fair amount of attempts. I finished it all (and all strawberries too, except golden ones) with 4.200 deaths. The only secret is to keep playing if you're determined to get it! I don't think C sides are really for everyone, but if you really want it, all I can say is to keep trying and learn from each attempt.
@@Rickfernello I'm in that exact journey, all hearts and strawberries, except the golden cuz geez
I am in the last screen of the game, but really scared of how freaking big it looks TuT
Also, you've definetely got faster reflexes than I do, for I got 25k :') my bff keeps teasing me, saying there's still time to get to 30k

I've yet to play celeste. I've already spoiled myself.
I don't care.
I can relate to Badeline so much. I've been manipulated many times since I was very young, and I've grown paranoid because of it. What if someone's trying to manipulate me? Are they talking behind my back? Do they hate me? Are others manipulating my friends, are those really my friends at all?
I had first chosen to be like Madeline. I only cared about my heart. I didn't see any signs.
Now, badeline. In my paranoia and fear, I push people away.
I even relate to Oshiro a bit. Too focused on pity-mongering to do anything.
This game helped me realize so much, and the ending pointed me to a light.
I think it's time I fight my own Badeline.
Thank you so much, Lena.
I relate to that. You need to play Celeste. Everyone has their own personal demons. Everyone has flaws. And that is ok. Dealing with them is our own mountain we must climb. Climbing a mountain, completing a game with 25 golden strawberries, or overcoming your insecurities, none of those things will be easy, but the landscape of the summit is worth it.
Fun fact:
Little Goth actually plays at chapter 3 at the cutscene where Badeline crawls out of the mirror and Mr. Oshiro looses it. At first, you can hear the third part of Resurrections playing, but after a while, the loop changes to the piano version.
I figured this out when I went to play badelines theme on my piano nearby after I start noticed it in this chapter. And then it switched to piano, so I switch my sound settings to synth with a surprise.
I checked by waiting on the cutscene in Chapter 2 and it plays there too. It seems the music that plays in both sections is a 2-minute loop (if I remember the length correctly; it was yesterday) consisting of the third section of “Resurrections” followed by the beginning of “Little Goth”.
This song conveys so much emotion, and the timing in the game is indeed impeccable. Bravo!
This right here.
This is the most powerful moment in the game.
On my first playthrough when I went into the "Confronting Myself" boss fight, thrown into action with adrenaline rushing through my body, I thought for sure it would be the climax. But here it is. The slow, somber, yet intense piano piece adds so much to this scene.
The dialogue between them had me the most engaged I'd ever been in this game, and it was a perfect moment to add right before The Summit.
Chapter 6: Reflection was probably my favorite chapter for this reason. Not to say the rest of the game wasn't a masterpiece, but this is the example I point to specifically through this game where I see music, gameplay, and a meaningful narrative all mix into one brilliant piece of art.
This game changed my life, I swear.
Thanks to the team at Matt Makes Games.
oh my, was this played live on piano ? i think i can hear the pedals of the piano and the keys landing on the strings. it sounds so atmospheric and wonderful. i adore this soundtrack.
"It's okay to be scared... I'm too"
Accepting and coming to terms with your inner demons instead of trying to forget them or pretend they never happned. That's pretty much what this scene represented to me. I can definitely see why this game won awards for impact.
So... I'm not the only one that cried, right? Days after playing this game, after sleep, I kept having several breakdowns. I kept saying for myself that I was scared about how things would go, and that I shouldn't be bothering myself about those things, having a difficult time sleeping and waking up. But then I played Celeste. When Madeline was confronting herself, saying that she understands her and It's okay to be scared I started crying, man. It is hard to maintain this posture of being confident, It is hard to be always happy but thats okay. Its hard to select which soundtrack is my favorite, but this one brings tears in my eyes everytime. And this game is one of my favorites of all time
I chuckled at the title
It's got a point tho
"She's like an adorable goth Madeline." - Theo, Celeste
Audrey Hester yep
It’s her persona.
*(stolen joke from another comment, find and like it)*
Rapper name lil goth
Theo: She’s like an adorable goth Madeline!
Song: *Little Goth*
I've never wanted to learn to play a track so much.
at around 1:32 you can hear the ascending notes getting faster and then being dragged back down again, its as if madeline's overconfidence and badeline's rationality both create a balance. throughout this entire half of the song this same pattern feels very calm and controlled. the louder section feels like she's ascending so high but at a slow and steady pace
I love that self-acceptance was a core theme of the story. It's a really good message.
I knew Celeste was a fun game from forms online so I decided to buy it and give it a go. I had NO idea what I was getting myself into. Not only was it a great platformer, but this game's story achieves something that not even triple A titles can achieve for me. I really felt closer and closer to Madeline as the story continued. Amazing soundtrack, amazing game.
badeline's leitmotif: *exists*
me: *_WOAH THAT'S PRETTY S P I C Y I'VE GOTTA SAY WHOAAAAAAAHHHHHHH THAT IS H O T_*
As a musician and music composer, I can boldly say I agree with this statement
I knew that the PICO Easter egg was foreshadowing the ability to double dash later in the game.
You have no idea how pumped I was when Madeline's hair changed color
The part where men cried.
The part where _I_ cried.
Sometimes, it's so hard to remember...
in our clutter of a life, we forget that it's okay.
We forget that it's okay to stop and have a moment.
To _feel,_ even.
We end up thinking that there's no time to cry about things...
No time to let it all out, in fear of it all being taken away...
And though I know that sometimes I'll forget again, and everything will seem like it's falling apart...
But then I come back to this.
This game that, though harrowing, is spiritually rewarding.
This soundtrack, that brings out the best of all my emotions.
This _story_ that reminds me of the metaphorical beam of light in my metaphorical room of darkness.
It all beings me to tears of relief, knowing that it's okay to not always be sure as long as you're determined.
And no matter how many times I forget, looking back onto this...
Looking back at this light...
I'll remember.
The music filled with all of the memories of playing through these games will always be able to remind me of it.
... So thank you.
Not just you, but to _all_ the developers of Celeste.
You all, when I needed it the most, reminded me...
"It's okay to be afraid."
I know that this comment is getting long...
But fI honestly might not be alive right now had it not been for this game.
I'm still depressed... life's pretty crummy overall...
But now I understand how to come to terms with it all.
How to deal with my...
so-called crisis.
I know I've already thanked you once, but I really can't enough...
So thank you.
So very, very much.
For this.
All of this.
I appreciate it more than you could ever know.

I can't believe this game came out over 6 years ago.. This was the first piece I played on piano after the usual "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and the likes. So much has happened since I played this game. Time flies!
Absolutely in love with this one rn because not only is it narratively perfect and perfect for the atmosphere of a casual playthrough, it’s also perfect when speedrunning. A moment of easy rooms after a lossy segment, a lull right before the race to the summit. Absolutely beautiful.
Initially, I thought I might be alone in saying that this game had such an impact on me, but seeing all of you in the comments shows how truly inspiring this game is. I truly, genuinely believe that everybody should play this game. The lessons it has to teach are conveyed perfectly and can change lives.
Pianos are my weakness, and this piece killed me. Easily the most underrated song on the OST.
Also very fun on piano
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! Especially the second half!
I just love this scene so much, and the music really makes it that much better
Ugh this soundtrack is depressing.
I need 10 hours version of this.
Gosh
I discovered the music of this before even playing it
I really must play this game to understand the context behind every soundtrack
excellent job on the sound design
this coupled with the dialouge of this scene just got to me and hit me in the feels
i know that the song is supposed to go with a scene from the game (which i haven't played yet), but my god, the song is so moving that you understand its meaning without the context.
Merci pour cette composition et ce moment d’émotion….
oh mon dieu un francais
I just want to express how much I love this song. This song just alone inspires me and the message of this game is one im certain I wont forget.
All 43 songs in this soundtrack are absolutely phenomenal. All 21 from the base game, all 9 B-Sides' themes, and all 13 songs from Farewell. But the ones that I can't stress enough are my absolute favorite pieces of music in this game, even in all of gaming- hell, quite possibly in all of media itself, are the pieces that are either entirely piano, or mostly. Special shout-outs go to Awake, Postcard from Celeste Mountain (and The Empty Space Above), Reconciliation, and this game honestly wouldn't be the same if it weren't for Little Goth and Exhale. And it's not just this game either. The 3 new Nether songs added in Minecraft's 1.16 update, Chrysopoeia, Rubedo and So Below, are like this too.
Most musicians and composers have a very "built-to-perfection" type of music. They make sure to include little-to-no background noise or sound effects. But not Lena Raine. She's different. She's special. You can hear minor imperfections like the damper pedal being pressed, or the keys being lifted. I love built-to-perfection music as much as the next guy, but this is a whole other level. It feels natural. You can feel every note she plays. You can feel her hands move across the piano. You can feel her pressing the damper pedal. You can _feel_ this song.
I am fortunate enough to have never struggled with any sort of large-scale depression (and my heart goes out to all those who have), so this game wasn't able to cure anything along those lines from me, but it still hit further than home. Because this music feels like home.
All I can say at this point is... thank you Lena Raine. This game wouldn't be the same if it weren't for you.
"Little Goth" contains a bit of the tail end of "Resurrections". But where the latter ended with despair ("I can't fight against myself"), this one is more of "We shouldn't fight each other, Part of Me. I know you're scared, and I'm scared too, but we'll keep moving forward together, one small step at a time. Together, we'll face life's challenges, and rebel against those that keep saying that it is impossible to go any further."
...was just replaying celeste. And I listened to this.
I cannot unhear that "honored one" meme.
You have defeated yourself, and you have come to terms with your dark side. You are now a lot stronger. Hell, one might say you are capable of anything now, far beyond the summit of mount celeste.
"Let's climb this mountain, together."
This should've been called comforting myself, that would've been so good.
Shoutout to everyone whose heart was healed a little by playing this game.
So everyone
wsg
These soundtracks are just amazing and emotional
Yeah this game made me cry and it was this part of the game. I haven't cried at a videogame in years, but something about characters accepting each other and just, giving someone a hug gets to me. Same reason the ending of Undertales pacifist route was another moment that got me. This music as well, of course, is beautiful and moving, the entire soundtrack is a masterpiece but this is my favourite track.
2:21 this sudden little flourish reminding in a few notes that if you fall, it doesn't matter, everything is fine... This entire OST is a masterpiece, it's mind-blowing.
This theme. I will never get bored of listening the same motif over and over again, used so subtly. A truely special song, for a truely special soundtrack, for a truely special game.
this moment was SO GOOD in the game, sooo beautiful and impactful to hear this as madeline reconciles with badeline, and to test out your new powers
This is a certified masterpiece
I think what makes this song great on an entirely musical level, is how you can hear every sound and aspect of the piano. If you listen close enough, you can hear the levers turn every vast mechanism in the piano. If you're attentive enough, you can hear the gaps in the notes where Lena adjusts her hands. If you're quiet enough, you can hear every miniature tempo shift made when Lena gets into the song more, it's as if you can tell what her favourite parts of the song are. If you're really quiet, you can even hear how hard the keys are pressed, and where the mic was in relation to the piano. Things like this I think give a song more soul and character than many others. Don't get me wrong, I could jam out to 3-B or vibe with 5-B all day, but a song like this is rare to come by, and should be cherished.
I do not hear any gaps or pauses, just very strong accents. They are so strong because they are accompanied by counterpoint. But this combination can quite mess one's perception of rhythm, I may be wrong. This is definitely an interesting composition.
Martin Forró I'll admit, I don't really know much about piano, so I'm just going off what I hear. I can't deny it's intrigue, no matter how hard I could try.
@@valerium730 Completely subjective analogue. You get the same feeling when you climb stairs in darkness and you get to the top, but still expect another stair. Your step suddenly becomes heavy, and you stumble upon the lack of an obstacle.
This song needs more recognition
OH, MY GOOOOOOOOOOOD, it's so precious 🥺🥺
This one goes really hard thru my heart, it's amazing,
I have been listening to Celeste OST for years, but it still amazes me...
Hey! Who left this bowl of onions sitting here?
Thanks for made me cry, Lena, thanks!! ;-;
BTW: Now the Chapter 6 is my favorite chapter of the game :3
Before I finished the game, I avoided this song because it "sounded very scary". But now that I've finished it, it sounds WAY less scary and sort of happier I guess.
Perfect Motif. You're so incredibly talented. Thank you so much for this incredible experience.
When two antagonist melodies melt together at last...
probably my favourite song in the whole game
This piece is just amazing.
I love how it's named little goth!
I am very much goth already, which makes me wonder... Would my other self be light instead of dark?
I cried
You cried
We all cried
And this moment FUCKIN ROCKS
I love this soundtrack, it gives me goosebumps ❤
A great thing about this game is how most people can relate to it, it encompasses so many different experiences, from gender dysphoria to depression to anxiety, all of it is done so well and in a way where anyone can look at it and go "damn, she just like me fr fr"
Now theo can have two girlfriends

Too bad he never did.
The moment when madeline gets her stand
this album makes me feel weird I don't understand but it slaps so hard my repressed tramau resurfaces
"Won't that hurt you, too?" - Theo
He was a real one for that. He knew that Madeline rejecting that part of herself was unhealthy. Even if Badeline did a lot of bad things, she was still trying to protect Madeline in her own twisted way.
still remember the laugh i had when theo said “she’s like an adorable goth Jesus”
The most underrated by far.
when a game actually cures your fucking anxiety issues
I know this isn't the chapter where you reach the summit or anything, but this feels like the point in the story where everything has come together. Madeline has won over the demons in her head (at least as much as one can) and all there is left to do is the simple task of reaching the top. This feels like the most conclusive piece in the on-release OST and to me is what falling action after the climax sounds like.
I love how this sounds just like Resurrections/Awake/Chapter 2's songs, but it never escalates into that part of the song with the chase scene. It just gets more emotional. The OST really brought this game to life- and vice versa. These would be powerful pieces on their own, as would the game, but they amplify the effect of one-another.
I don't think there could have been a better pick on who would compose the Celeste soundtrack. Truly one of my favourite artists, full stop. There's no doubt.
Es... Indescriptible la sensación que me da está canción
I’ve never been so close to crying before
Madeline’s Instrument is now playing Badeline’s Music Motif... huh. Now that’s some killer symbolism lmao
When the music hits harder than the fight
Somehow, this reminded me of Gojo's theme after he learns Hollow Purple. Those beginning notes hit hard.
best song in the game, its just so raw.
2x speed for a somber version of the Reach for the Summit intro
it's ok to be scared asriel... =)
And when you finally confront your demons, you finally get it. You understand the “problem.” It’s not “them,” it’s you.
YOU need help. YOU need to change, to accept this part of yourself. To love and understand yourself.
Compared to accepting yourself...How hard can it truly be to climb a mountain?
Much harder than the game makes it look.
