Pls I really want to know what do you think about Witcher 3 "Steel for Humans" OST other name of this OST is "Lazare". This is a really good piece of music. Especially if you understand the words (there are versions with English subtitles).
You can go to the villages in the far east of the map, and if you hang around for long enough, the kids start singing his theme there, and I get shivers down my spine every single time I hear them.
When I heard this track play when Geralt starts talking to them via the tapestry, I was like "These batches need to die." Exterminate. Kill on sight. 😂
In my opinion, Velen is the best portion of the Witcher 3's main story. Every detail drives the creepy, pagan atmosphere: the dark woods, monster-plagued swamps, the disturbed villagers that desperately try to please the crones through strange practices. This theme captures all of that. Listening to this makes me feel like I've stumbled into an occult ceremony in the middle of the woods.
The vocals was sang by Katarzyna Bromirska from Percival Schuttenbach and the song was originally played on byzantine lyra. They recreated a lot of slavic songs and they are great.
@@MarcoMeatball They sound very similar. Hurdy gurdy is like lyre with automatic bow. In Polish hurdy gurdy means "lira korbowa" which roughly translate to "cranked lyre".
This has honestly become THE song for me anytime I want to read or write a scene that requires an eerie or evil, magical atmosphere. There's such an insidious, malevolent quality to the sound of this song that lends itself perfectly to horror, especially the kind that you find in nightmares and wilderness and the dark. "Haunting" is a great way to describe it! That's exactly what this song aims for, I think, and what it hits exactly on the nose!
Yes! I haven't played Witcher 3, but I love listening to this track precisely for what you described. It makes me feel like I'm on the brink of transforming into a wild creature and running howling into the forest. It's perfect for enhancing "eldritch horror scratching at your mind" moods.
As a person who comes from Eastern Europe, this song resonates with me very well because the country is very swamp-like. This track is one of my favourites besides 'Ard-Skelliga' _(that's a good one. I suggest you Marco hear it out if you haven't)_ But the _Crock Bog Crones_ and the swamp give me that ancient sinister, shamanic, ritualistic vibe to it. It a meditative in a way but not meditate to go up (ascend) but to descend into the evil. Thank you for reviewing this masterpiece. Can't wait to replay it 🙏
I'm a Slav too, but I'm from South-Eastern Europe. Steel For Humans really hit with me, the lyrics really remind me of folk songs we used to learn in elementary school. Never was a fan of them, but hearing them with instrumental music actually made me enjoy it.
It's in fact not a hurdy gurdy, but a bowed lyre! I adore this soundtrack for so many reasons, and as you say this piece just encapsulates that wicked unempathetic scheming of the crones.
What I love about hurdy-gurdy is that it can give so many different vibes. It can be scary like here, or sad, or epic, in a sea shanty, in a strange forest, in an old castle... The possibilites of this one instrument are numerous, and I love it!
For me, the repeated melody, slightly discordant, in the background symbolized the Crones' attempt to bewitch you and lull you into a false sense of security. It's disturbingly hypnotic in nature due to the constantly repeated measures, much like the folktales of eld that would speak of witches beguiling children in order to stew them in a pot.
I adore this song. That opening especially, even outside of the context of the game, carries so much looming threat. You hear it and feel the urge to glance over your shoulder, just incase something really is there in the shadowly corner of the room. Something peering back at you. This song feels.... hungry
It's my father's dream to have a Hurdy Gurdy and he's totally obsessed with it anytime it gets mentioned, so It's super interesting to watch you talk about it.
I find the arrangement on point for what it’s to symbolise. “Uneasiness” - as you said it - is a perfect description of the feeling you get while playing and start venturing into the swamp. Especially the part right after the intro gives a feeling of dissonance, like you know that something’s wrong and fishy about it, but you don’t have proof yet and have to play along in lack of alternatives.
Everything about that part of the story was pure nightmare fuel. In some aspects very openly, like in character designs. In others - very subtly. Everything just felt so tense, and unsettling, sinister. And this music fits so well.
This is so cool, I’ve seen quite a bit of videos breaking down the theory behind this music but I’ve not seen anyone trying to break down The emotions being driven through delivery, really really cool stuff!
as am eastern-european person who grew up and lives surrounded by bogs, this theme makes me remember my childhood and gathering mushrooms and the warnings of my nana. incredible stuff. also the witcher three makes an amazing job of showing what the land really looks like? like the whole of white orchard is literally my childhood village. it really looks like that and as creepy as you might imagine.
I know all the music from The Witcher 3 by heart, I played the game a few times, I listen to it all the freaking time for almost a year now but still - when I went to Percival's concert... I had goosebumps, I cried because of all the emotions they show when they play their music... It is absolutely incredible and I wish everyone could go to their concert - it is just completely different world!!! So happy that foreign people can appreciate what Percival is doing because they are one of a kind!
the reason this sounds so creepy to me is because the strings never take a break. The music never seems to *breathe*. It also *buzzes* like a cloud of insects in the background which just drives home how rancid and decaying the witches are.
To me he hurdy gurdy (or rather, a bowed lyre) gives the impression of something old, ancient. An emanation of something pervasive, hypnotic, looming and paralysing. I love this piece so much. Despite being terrified and disgusted by the crones, to me they were the ugliest, most detestable creatures in the whole game. But oh, so mesmerising, and not the least due to this haunting, hypnotic, yet beautiful piece of music!! Loved your analysis of it. 💓
this song always made me feel like i was one misstep away from being cursed. it really reinforces the crones are powerful and not above using their power if you upset them
It always sends shivers down your spine. Either shivers of heavenly awe or of hellish terror. We have our own horror sound in Lithuanian folklore. Let's just say that sutartine is one hell of a song form. What's funny is that those dissonant dirges of intersecting polyphonic lines were usually meant for joyful celebrations.
One time i put this as my rington and my mom heard it when somebody called me she never saw or heard about witcher and she told me pls change that tone she didnt say why 🤣
Music is THE medium that makes me feel the most emotion and allowing me to express them too, watching you explain stuff about music just get me in awe every time, great job dude. BDW I had the same headphones a while ago and loved the quality but i had to send them back because they gave me horrible headaches for some reason
What I enjoy the most from the music and really, the whole Crones storyline is how it really taps into European Paganism. The game really presents the crones as figures who possess magic that doesn't come from some great being or some otherworldly source but from the earth and blood and flesh and that what you're seeing is both natural and unnatural, it's interfering with something deep inside us and profaning it and you get that entire vibe as you're walking through the woods and a variation of this music starts playing. As someone who really enjoys Celtic mythology and Paganism, I dig the hell out of this.
"That's alarming and fearful" and I'll be there dancing in the woods around the bonfire, living deliciously like Black Phillip intended :P Jokes aside, I think it's all about the intensity of it, it's so raw and feels so ALIVE in a sense. Even if it does sound scary and dark. I didnt play W3 enough to get to the witches, but in folklore I think that's pretty much what defines them anyway, the fact that they live intensely, enjoying all the "sinister, dark pleasures" of life, right? And probably SHREDDING solos on the 'gurdies, too. W3 OST is such a treasure and how it turned common, folk songs into the most epic things ever. When I found out "Steel For Humans" was a folk music sung for good luck, abundance and for blessing marriages it blew my mind. Literally turned into one of the best battle songs in videogames and I think that's so rad. I'd love to see "Bonny At Morn" around here too, its one of my faves in the soundtrack (specially the 2016 live version), and a big contrast on all the wild vocals and hurdy gurdies!
all time classic for sure, who would've thought this same game has an entire sidequest where you retrieve an old person's frying pan in the woods or some shit and it has music like this, insane
Man, I'm playing through this again right now, and just a masterful game. From the story, combat, characters, and the music. My god. So many great songs from this game. The theme that plays on the outskirts of Novigrad being one of my personal favorites. As well as hunt or be hunted of course.
The craziest thing about The Witches of Crookback Bog is that I felt genuine fear and disgust towards them. The music alone captures their presence perfectly. These aren't the witches everyone in pop culture adores. These are the witches you were told to fear as a child in medieval days and for darn good reason.
I live in United States but I'm originally from Jaroslaw, Poland. There is a "Jarosław Early Music Festival" every year where you'll hear this kind of music. BTW, my father makes guitars but he got bored so now he is making a hurdy gurdy.
Same with the Witcher on a new pc, can't wait to go through all the updated and visually amazing adventures again! Definitely will think of you when I meet the Crones.
The crones have to be amongst the best Baga Yaga depictions in fiction. They’re gloriously hideous. I’m not of Slavic origin, but I have heard of Baga Yaga, so when in the game, when Geralt has to seek the help of the crones to find Ciri, I knew with the tapestry that even if they were as they appeared, young and beautiful, the fact that Velen Villagers were more afraid of them than Nilfgaard, that were going to dangerous to trust. Villagers throughout Velen acted like these ladies were the gods of the region. Fear Aside, look at the disgusting and disturbing references of child sacrifice to them of the path to find to them. I still remember ‘ear kabobs’ marking the path you had to take to find them. This song perfectly captured how sinister they are, and warns the player that you shouldn’t ignore that instinct you have to trust them.
No joke, one of my favorite instruments. There’s a music store near me that has a lot of cool instruments. Every time I go in there I’m tempted to buy a hurdy gurdy.
I adore The Witcher 3 and it has a special place in my heart since it is a game from my country, Poland. I would love to see you react to another soundtrack from that game called "Silver For Monsters..." which has also parts of white singing. Awesome video!
i mean this is a piece of music that leaves the mark ( especially in a context of what is going on ). the whole mission line, music and atmosphere is one of the most sucsessefull projection of psyhology throu visual arts EVER...in my oppinion
0:49 the hair on my arm went straight up! You should also check out Heroes of might and magic 3 Necropolis theme. Really sets the tone for a funeral where the body went missing overnight.
The best thing about the Ladies of the woods is that if you think about it. At its basics it's the most generic witch story you could have. But cdpr made it into something incredible
I prefer the full version of Child of The Elder Blood. Because it digs further into that discomfort with what sounds like the chattering of the crones. It gets guttural and I love that about it.
Consider chrcking out Hearts of Stone music, especially the leitmotiff that appears there - it tops the creepy vibe of the witches so much it makes the crones sound like kids in comparisson ;)
I don't think this is Hurdy Gurdy. The music is played by Katarzyna Bromirska, who specializes in Byzantine Lyra. On Marcin Przybyłowicz's channel, she's also seen practicing on Kemenche. I think this last instrument is what you're hearing in Ladies of the Woods. By the way, a channel called Sideways has a nice video that explains how to make music sound scary. In essence, you want two sounds playing at the same time -- one deep and low and the other high-pitched, with nothing in-between. In nature, low sounds signify something bigger than yourself and dangerous, while high sounds something small and inconspicuous. Hearing both at the same time gives us a discordant feeling that something's not right. In this track, there's that deep, droning sound in the background contrasted with high sound of the Kemenche. In addition, the instrument seems to be distorted and does unpleasant creaking from time to time.
I suggest you listen to pieces from Dead Space 2, "Lacrimosa" in particular. It very appropriately paints an impression of the game's world and lends itself well to experiencing the emotional struggle the main character goes through. Edit: "Canonical Aside" from the same game would make quite a good listen, too.
Pls I really want to know what do you think about Witcher 3 "Steel for Humans" OST other name of this OST is "Lazare". This is a really good piece of music. Especially if you understand the words (there are versions with English subtitles).
uh. I updated to the next gen update. It's good.
It's good but now it's laggy and I can't save the game manually so i have to rely on auto saves

Sadly it runs like trash with RT on. Even 4090 gpus dont get over 70 fps.
if Gaunter O'dimm's theme doesn't exist this is easily the most menacing ost in the game
What a fucking character, man. Holy shit. The fact his theme topped it like a cherry on a cake was just 👌
@@combatwombat2134 agreed. God was the best villain in any game. Crazy that he's literally god.

I love this track so much. Never heared a song that screams "Evil Witch" like this one. Witcher 3 has a strong OST in general.
how about 3 evil witches?
One of the best OSTs ever imo
When I heard this track play when Geralt starts talking to them via the tapestry, I was like "These batches need to die." Exterminate. Kill on sight. 😂

Hart of stone and blood and wine are the best
yes!! i love this creepy vibe. i kinda hate toussaint because it's so bright in there compared to velen😂
Yes. And that's just your casual monday walk through a Polish forest
Skellige was way better
@@BlueBirdsProductions i think it says a lot about how good the game is when people cant come to a concensus of the best bit
The sound of a hurdy gurdy is just unmatched, its beautiful
It’s the perfect instrument
Its not hurdy gurdy, Its Suka biłgorajska string instrument
@@milossklenar7203 That's exactly what I was thinking as well. Even though the HG is a great instrument, it's not the instrument played in this song
The vocals was sang by Katarzyna Bromirska from Percival Schuttenbach and the song was originally played on byzantine lyra. They recreated a lot of slavic songs and they are great.
Oh snap. I thought it was the hurdy gurdy?!?
@@MarcoMeatball They sound very similar. Hurdy gurdy is like lyre with automatic bow. In Polish hurdy gurdy means "lira korbowa" which roughly translate to "cranked lyre".
@@MarcoMeatball Yeah, I also believe this is the lyre we hear and not the HG. I haven'T actually seen a Percival gig where they would use HG.
Funny enough, Percival is also a character in the books
I think Joanna Lacher was a main singer at that time. Katarzyna did some background vocals and later became the main singer after Joanna left.
"A gifted man brings gifts galore" still the most terrifying Witcher 3 song for me
This has honestly become THE song for me anytime I want to read or write a scene that requires an eerie or evil, magical atmosphere. There's such an insidious, malevolent quality to the sound of this song that lends itself perfectly to horror, especially the kind that you find in nightmares and wilderness and the dark.

The Witcher 3 definitely had one of the best video game soundtracks ever, and I agree with you, this is a major standout track.
This game has so many great tracks! Hope you will do more of this :D

I Love This Theme But My absolute Favourite Is The Wolven Storm That Was An Amazing One

Thanks Marco, I'm looking forward to more of these on the Witcher 3. An Skellig is a favourite of mine.
This is such a cool song that just lingeres in the background as you are listening to the crones speak to Geralt. Such a neat part of the game.
this song always made me feel like i was one misstep away from being cursed.
it really reinforces the crones are powerful and not above using their power if you upset them

the whole mission line, music and atmosphere is one of the most sucsessefull projection of psyhology throu visual arts EVER...in my oppinion
One of the scariest tracks I have ever heard
More witcher? LETS GOOO
0:49 the hair on my arm went straight up! You should also check out Heroes of might and magic 3 Necropolis theme. Really sets the tone for a funeral where the body went missing overnight.
Great video mate, Gaunter O'Dimm's theme is also creepy, with reason
When your furby turns on by itself at 3am
Got into that woods by accident and yeah I speeding to end that quest
give Gaunter O'Dim ost a try too!
The intro made me hungry for nordic music.
The boss themes in sonic frontier.
They are peak sonic and rule of look cool, Undefeatable and find your flame in particular are very popular
It's also very interesting to watch the video about how they made Witcher 3 soundtrack.
Hurdy gurdy is super underrated. It's a major reason why I'm really into folk metal.
You definitely gotta do Gunter O Dimm
My go to Halloween music
Gotta see a vid on Kaer morhen theme
"The Fields of Ardd Skellig"
So many good tracks in this game...
YES YES YES YOU HAVE RETURNED TO THE WITCHER OH HOW I HAVE WAITED
Gunter O'dim theme sounds sinister as well
Power of phrygian mode
This song evokes a feeling of you negotiating with a predator and praying it does not realize that it can eat you at any moment.
If we're touching Witcher you gotta cover Gaunter O'Dim. He's my favorite character in the game.
The best thing about the Ladies of the woods is that if you think about it. At its basics it's the most generic witch story you could have. But cdpr made it into something incredible
I hope you listen to The Fields of Ard Skellig in the withcher 3 osts. it's something else.
Witcher 3 and Age of Conan best soundtracks of gaming.
I looooove this song
Would love to see you react to “Steel for humans” and “Gaunter O’Dimm” soundtracks, more masterpieces from this game.
I prefer the full version of Child of The Elder Blood. Because it digs further into that discomfort with what sounds like the chattering of the crones. It gets guttural and I love that about it.
There's a quality that's akin to subverted innocence here, i'll dub it subverted folk or Grimmish feel i think. It's well done.
You should listen to the live action version of this album it’s gorgeous probably better then the game edition
Hi there Uncle Opera! Great choice of a song 🎉
Check out the opening credits song from Black Sails for a great use of a hurdy gurdy. It's an R-rated prequel show for Treasure Island.
Hey!!!! Thank you so much, I recommend that but I'm not sure if you remembered
You should add Lullaby of Woe to your reaction list, it highlights Gaunter O' Dimm as a being of pure evil...
Lullaby of woe is oriannas song
@@leonrussell9607 Yep, my bad mate i meant to say "Master Mirror's song"
I think it is amazing
Consider chrcking out Hearts of Stone music, especially the leitmotiff that appears there - it tops the creepy vibe of the witches so much it makes the crones sound like kids in comparisson ;)
i can highly recommend Shelder from Porter Robinson & Madeon its amazing
I don't think this is Hurdy Gurdy. The music is played by Katarzyna Bromirska, who specializes in Byzantine Lyra. On Marcin Przybyłowicz's channel, she's also seen practicing on Kemenche. I think this last instrument is what you're hearing in Ladies of the Woods.
By the way, a channel called Sideways has a nice video that explains how to make music sound scary. In essence, you want two sounds playing at the same time -- one deep and low and the other high-pitched, with nothing in-between. In nature, low sounds signify something bigger than yourself and dangerous, while high sounds something small and inconspicuous. Hearing both at the same time gives us a discordant feeling that something's not right. In this track, there's that deep, droning sound in the background contrasted with high sound of the Kemenche. In addition, the instrument seems to be distorted and does unpleasant creaking from time to time.
Yea I was absolutely wrong!!!!
hear pls The Wolf and the Swallow and Hunt or Be Hunted. This tracks are the best for me!
The Wolf and the Swallow it`s one song)
I suggest you listen to pieces from Dead Space 2, "Lacrimosa" in particular. It very appropriately paints an impression of the game's world and lends itself well to experiencing the emotional struggle the main character goes through.
Edit: "Canonical Aside" from the same game would make quite a good listen, too.
Bro wait till you hear gaunter odimm's theme
You should listen to "child of the elder blood Wich is the sequel to this song.
Thank you for your perspective. Hope that there is an opportunity to listen your opinion about other Witcher 3 music :)
Pls I really want to know what do you think about Witcher 3 "Steel for Humans" OST other name of this OST is "Lazare". This is a really good piece of music. Especially if you understand the words (there are versions with English subtitles).
nice take, now what about Gaunter o' Dimms Theme?
