We demand a remake- er, I mean we respectfully request a remaster of this beautiful song that, by my memory, was one of if not the first song you put up on RUclips. You've come a long way, and with Alyx out and you going a decade strong, it would be a rather interesting proposition, no?
@@lennrd5912 it literally is a game, and probably the first actual VR title I'd call a proper game made at this time, and not just a tech demo or 'experience'.

Alcatraz Crysis You lifeless moron. Age has nothing to do with taste and maturity. So what if he is 11? I was that old when I first played Half Life 2 almost 8 years ago, and it instantly became my favorite game.
Wow. I remember hearing this playing from a radio on some gmod TTT map so long ago, and now, years later, i find out it was actually made by my favorite musician! Damn this feels crazy.
@@sheepism470 I wouldn't call Alyx a Half Life 3 game. If we did count that as half life 3 then "Half Life: Blue Shift" and "Half Life: Opposing Forces" would also count as their own Half Life number sequel
Earlier today, I was helping my grandparents get their house ready to be sold. They had me use a crowbar to break down shelves, drawers, all kinds of things. At no point did I stop singing this song in my head.
GabeN would be proud. I feel so bad for that franchise, so much untapped potential. We all owe it to Gordon to give him a happy ending. If anyone in the video game multiverse deserves one, it's him.
I remember listening to this and a few of your other songs (Mass Effect, Dishonored, etc) while playing Halo when I was in highschool. This takes me back.
You know, this song is kind of funny in a meta sense. In a certain way, Gordon Freeman DID save Gav's life (at the very least, his musical career), starting him on a path that would gain him a metric ton more fans than he ever had with Lotus Lullaby. Kind of prophetic, in a way.
Commander Shepard is, and will stay my ultimate favourite. But I like that the songs he makes are very diverse. :) I'd suggest you listen to Digital Shadow (miracleofsound 's take on Watch Dogs) for size... There are a lot of common points with these two : a persistent beat, a catchy chorus, and the same sense of epic !
Oh, everyone loves the people at Mesa. If it wasn't for _us_, Freeman wouldn't have his HEV suit and Gravity Gun. In fact, all he'd have is that Stoopid little crowbar of his. So who's REALLY to thank? Aperture. =_=

Not long ago I remembered this song, well, as I remembered ... I sang more precisely, and when I found it, I looked at the date of the video and this September 8, 2010 will already be 11 years of this song this year. For the first time this song appeared in my recommendations in 2013-14 or 15. It's been a long time and it's gone so fast
I first heard this like over a decade ago playing in the background of a vid where someone customized a rusty crowbar to look like gordons. Good to hear again after so long
I feel so bloody old listening to this song. I really hope that all these HL3 rumors will finally mean something, and we will get another Half Life oriented banger from MiracleofSound! Also this song unlocked wave of memories from my childhood, so I might as well stay here for a while.
"They vanish into thin air like Episode 3 yeah!"

Alcatraz Crysis Except Far Cry has had three sequels, whereas the Half-Life series has had one. I am counting the episodes one and two and HL2 as one.

I think this song will help pass the time untill the sun burns out and they release episode 3. Great job.
