This song played at a friend's funeral yesterday. This was one of her favorite games. She was a lovely girl who spread happiness and kindness everywhere. Rest in peace my friend.
I didn't cry, really more of a Red: Raises Transistor* Transistor: Don't do this. Me: ??? Red: Stabs herself with the transistor* Me: !!!!! *smiles in the end when see's red and "spirit" of transistor together
+Belbecat thought i was the only one who noticed.... i like to think it's Boxer/Blue/the voice in the Transistor. like when he sings along with The Spine when the Spine makes him distorted if you hum whilst doing it? *cry* so beautiful
sophie winchester Oh, yeah. I saw a Pyre trailer recently, remembered that Transistor and Bastion existed, bought them on a conveniently-timed Steam sale, and beat them in a collective four days. Talk about becoming a fan overnight.
Or without anyone to live in it. I mean, Cloudbank was f'ed to to the point with no one else was there in it, BUT Royce and Red. Even then, you had to kill Royce just to get out of his last ditch effort to control the transistor.
I found the ending to this game sad, yet kinda happy. Yes, Cloudbank is forever fucked, but Red is now forever with the person she cared for. Really made me think about love., and how effective it is.
+Sean Johnson (dragon fo eva) Only until Recursion, sadly. "Hey, Red . . . we're not going to get away with this one, are we ?" - read as: "Hey Red . . . we're not going to get away with [living together in the Country forever], are we ?"
+Sophie A. It definitely can be interpreted that way, the beautiful (and sometimes frustrating or confusing) thing about the narration of Transistor is that it's so open to interpretation. The ending especially is both a tragedy and a triumph, depending how you look at it - probably a bit of both, either way.
well in my oppinion cloudbanks and the country are 2 points on a circle. The people that dies in cloudbanks comes in the country. there they begins to build a new cloudbanks. At somepoint in time the camerata finds the Transistor and use it to control the process. After the failed attempt to kill red they loose their controll and the process begin to make cloudbanks back in its former form : the country
**Paper Boats** Seconds march into the past The moments pass And just like that they're gone The river always finds the sea So helplessly Like you find me We are paper boats floating on a stream And it would seem We'll never be apart I will always find you Like it's written in the stars You can run, but you can't hide Try Like the moon that makes the tides That silent guide Is calling from inside And pull me here and push me there It's everywhere Hanging in the air We are magnets pulling from different poles With no control We'll never be apart I will always find you Like it's written in the stars You can run, but you can't hide Try I will always, always find you I will always I will always, always find you I will always I will always find you Like it's written in the stars We can run, but we can't hide Try I will always find you Like it's written in the stars We can run, but we can't hide Try I will always, always find you I will always
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER ************************************************ It really did but after a while when you think about it it makes perfect sense and when you look back it really builds up well to that! Sure, Red can come back and rebuild the city from her memories but the Process 'processed' the whole population. She's without her voice and she misses her lover whom she's pretty sure she'd be able to be with forever in the Transistor because of a few things: 1) as Royce states if you know someone well you'd be able to hear them in the Transistor, and hell it seems like Red and the guy were soul mates. 2) The lover was taken into the Transistor as a whole, as if his whole consciousness passed into it. So a 100% of him is there since the Process didn't get to process him (similarly with Red killing herself). 3) No matter what happens Red wouldn't have been able to resurrect the population of the city since they were all deleted by the Process (overwritten more accurate). And while she could bring back the bodies their consciousness and their 'data' was basically gone when they got processed. So what would you choose - spend an eternity with your soul mate and one true love and regain your precious voice (or who knows maybe you can grow old in the Transistor - if the theory that Cloudbanks was a virtual reality world people got into and forgot about the reality (which in the game would be the "country") is right then it would mean that the Transistor is a sort of gateway into reality) or be the God and architect of an empty, ghost city?
DoreoC &&&&&VAUGE DESCRIPTION OF THE WHOLE GAME SPOILER&&&&&&&&&&&& I'm sort of glad they didn't do an A or B choice because... there was ever only one choice. Transistor is a Tragedy. The outcome was kinda bleak. But Red did the best she could under the circumstances. The ending was very "Romeo and Juliet". We hope the two lovers are together elsewhere. I liked how the game didn't tell you their relationship until near the end. Because it wouldn't have made sense in context of the lines. Would have been forced.
It makes me wonder, how much foreshadowing is there in the game?Is that line a coincidence, or symbolic?--MINOR VAGUE SPOILER------------------------ There were things in the game I overlooked the first time which became sort of important later. Such as the Bridge. And to a lesser extent, the polls about the sky being relevant to the narrative. And then how the backdoor unnaturally changes over time.
To this day I dearly wish there was a version of Paper Boats that was a full duet, they sound SO BEAUTIFUL TOGETHER at "the river always finds the sea"
Cull, or should I say Olmarq, is pretty dang epic! Actually, considering I've played this wonderful game about 7 or 8 times, I still have the last section of his backstory to unlock.
if you like good small-ish developers i would suggest Arcen Games. they don't make anything near as beautiful and polished as Bastion/Transistor, but all of their games are uniquely different in some way or another, and tend to have enough depth to keep you more than busy till Supergiant makes the next one.
I think the most beautiful part of this song is that in the first verse, the line goes: "You can run but you can't hide" Then, in the second verse (after the scene where Red finds her lover in the Country), that line changes: "we can run but we can't hide". So heartwarming! :)
I live for the transition at 2:52. The happiest, lightest part of the song and probably the whole soundtrack is cut abruptly yet expectedly to the dark atmosphere of the chorus, but while keeping the same lyrics. Just chills everywhere, everytime I hear it.
So, I don’t know if anyone has noticed (boy am I wrong), but when you play the game for the first time the first line of dialogue we are introduced with is by Red’s husband/man saying “Hey Red. We won’t get away with this, are we?” . That’s cool and all until you play the game twice during the Recursion. This time it’s Royce Bracket saying “Hey Red.. we won’t get away with this..are we?” therefore hinting to a continuous cycle of events! This stays the same in each time you play the game after the first one!
I love everything about Supergiant Games. What video game company released their OST on RUclips in full? They're so progressive, as if their games didn't already indicate such. Transistor was my favorite game of 2014 - I can't wait for your next title.
Lyrics: Seconds march into the past The moments pass And just like that they're gone The river always finds the sea So helplessly, Like you find me We are paper boats floating on a stream And it would seem, We'll never be apart I will always find you Like it's written in the stars You can run but you can't hide, try Like the moon that makes the tides That silent guide, Is calling from inside And pull me here and push me there It's everywhere, Hanging in the air We are magnets pulling from different poles With no control, We'll never be apart I will always find you Like it's written in the stars You can run but you can't hide, try I will always, always find you I will always I will always, always find you I will always I will always find you Like it's written in the stars We can run but we can't hide, try I will always find you Like it's written in the stars We can run but we can't hide, try I will always, always find you I will always
@@ricecooker7037 Cave Story actually kinda kicked off the indie revolution. It was a catalyst for alot of people seeing that games made by indie devs can be just as if not higher quality theNN AAA titles
I love that when you listen close enough, you can hear someone (presumably Darren Korb) singing as who is likely supposed to be the guy in the sword. Just another little detail that you get out of playing the game multiple times that makes the experience complete.
Whenever I feel sad and I need to cry but tears don't come, I play this song. Literally can't listen to it without crying, it's that beautiful. Thank you Supergiant Games for making this and other gems!
Even now A full 9 years later I come back to these songs, just to experience them again, same with the game itself, I think I've played it... maybe 6-7 times now at least over the years And every time, it's an amazing experience, every time it's something so special, and so superb, and every time it manages to bring out these same, intense feelings And so, let me just say thank you SuperGiant Games For making what is, in my opinion, one of the best games to ever exist
I actually missed most of this song the first time because I was still in shock about the ending. Then I listened to it again, and now I can't stop :( / :). I love this game
at first thats what i thought, but then i realized it wasnt so bad after all. I think she chose right and in the end they both ended up happy, can you really say such an ending was bad? in fact i think it was perfect :)
AoKAY00 The thing is, though, that was a HUGE leap of faith. Neither Red OR her love knew definitively that Red would be taken into the Transistor with him. Which is why he was telling her not to. Which is why she hugs the sword right before sitting down with his body. In case it didn't work, it was the closest she could come to saying goodbye. THE FEELS, MY GOD, THE FEELS!
it wasn't enough that this track is as good as it is, its also what red hums to blue when he's near the spine to keep him grounded, making this diagetically the song she uses to bring him back to reality and comfort him is just. chefs kiss never change
Open stream that form the road, With every turn like written code. Gem of stones that drift unknown, To never see the future that is shown. (We are) Trace of stars that glitter of deep That guide us far, but eyes not keep. Together in hand in hand, We found our way to the country-land.
So glad I downloaded this with PS Plus. Had no expectations of this game , other than it looked kinda boring from what I had seen. Apparently... I was wrong.
I've just finished this game for the first time and half an hour later I'm still crying. I don't know why I took so long to finally play this game, but I understand now why it's such a masterpiece. Supergiant, you guys really do make some of the most unique games I've ever played, so thank you for that ❤️ Can't wait to play Hades next!

I cried when Red gave up her life and the power to recreate the whole town to live and stay with her men in transistor when she replied "hey" to his "hi" i was like "that the woman i want to have in my life"
Eh, I won't lie, it's irritating having my internet drop halfway through a video, or in the middle of a match of CS:GO, because an alien-bug-thing ate my cable, but I keep my soldiers on task. They're pretty good at their jobs. y'know! They can kill bugs AND fix a fibre optic cable in minutes!
spoilers as usual. I think one of the things that makes this ending so heartbreaking is that there really is no good end to this story. Poor Sybil just wanted to be with Red, so she told one simple lie that Red would be alone... Instead, the unnamed man in the transistor was there, and Red kept the Transistor. The Process went out of control and that was the end of Cloudbank... The Transistor can recreate the structures but not the people. If she'd stayed, Red would've been alone in Cloudbank... So she integrated herself. His reaction was exactly mine: "No... what are you doing? No, please, stop!" Transistor is a tragedy. One that makes me cry so hard and I fucking love it to death, you glorious bastards.
Spoiler I loved that part with unlocking the story Elements, you didn't know who these people are, and by unlocking these features, this world just got better/ sadder. The relationship between grant and asher, the down and ups of Royces, live, and that Sybil thought that Red's Boyfriend want's to keep her away from Red. The one thing that i still think about is, what is that World? It is definetly a Computer Simulation, the Process as enemy's, the Government as admins, a Transistor as powerful Weapon. One of the best parts were definetly the fact, that there were no Enemies, the Process was doing it's job, that's just what it is, Camerata didn't want to lose control over the Process, and all they wanted was just making Cloudbank better for everyone.
Greysterization Could you tell me why you capitalized the first letter of random words? Please? I've been wondering why people do that because its so goddamn annoying.
I heard this song on the way home from work and due to my complex relationship and feelings from the game. I burst into tears, so many feels I couldnt handle it. Such an amazing song!
This entire game is so beautiful and bittersweet I was bawling by the end. It was painful yet perfect. Now everytime I hear this song, no matter my mood, I can't help but tear up.
I loved this game. Absolutely wonderful. Bawled my eyes out, especially due to the amount I can relate. Just another beautiful game from Supergiant, jeez.
Wow, can't believe this game is 9 years old. I finished it today and all I've got to say is it really blew me away. The art is beautiful, I loved the style so much, the combat mechanics are simple but so much fun to figure out the combinations for, the music is some of the best I've ever heard in a game and there's so much interesting lore to piece together that I couldn't stop myself from just unlocking every little bit of it. A hauntingly beautiful story... If there's anyone just listening to the soundtrack here who has yet to play the game, please do so. This OST is what got me to try the game in the first place, and I don't regret a second of it.
I'm not crying, my eyes are just- You know what? This game is so good that my crying is a way of complementing it. So I openly admit it, I cried, this game is awesome.
***************SPOILERS***************** Yeah, I saw a lot of people that said "Well, she can just bring him back with the Transistor, because it can make anything." She could bring back her lover, but would it really be him? All of our experiences make us who we are, and even if Red had known him her whole life, there was no way she could have learned everything about him. If she had just created someone like him, it would have been a shell of stuff she saw about him, not how he actually was. Loved the ending and the game. Fantastic job Supergiant. NOW I WANT MORE.
I get chills so hard starting around the 00:50 - 1:10 mark.. recently did a full LP of this for my channel.. Been a long time since a game gave me such a long lasting impression..
this song is perfect. i don’t know enough music terminology to express how but EVERYTHING. the combination of different strings over the driving beat, the chords, the way darren and ashley’s voices meld so well, the heartfelt lyrics, it’s all perfect.
Haven't finished the game for a long time. Red just reminds me of a friend whom I lost and loved. (I mean honestly a tall redhead with a determination in her step😅) Her "Hey..." just fucking broke me man... It was just beautiful. Wish I went with her back then.😏
Listen closely to the back-up voice. Try not to cry more. Transistor's ending made me cry. A lot. This is the first game to do this to me. I will never forget this game.
No. Red and her lover are together because they know each other perfectly, are soulmates. I think it's royce who said he was had a "trip" in the transistor and that he could only faithly hear people that he knew but not more.
Teph Although wouldn't the transistor be destroyed at the end? That's what happened to Royce's transistor when he died. I think that would mean that those inside of it would be released to the "country"
At one point, the man in the transistor asked: "Do you think there are others in here besides me? I don't see anyone and when I look up at where the sky should be, I see you." Based on this, I assume that they are in their own version of The Country.
I start following Super Giant gaming since transistor, then I tried Bastion and I am recently playing Hades. I have to say: this studio never disappoints me
This song is on par with "The Best is Yet to Come" from MGS1 as one of the saddest credits songs I've heard in a videogame. It's as beautiful as it is tragic.
The begining of this song made me feel so emptiness....like there're nothing left...even hope is gone....no solution....this song is just too damn good.
Came back to listen to this track again. As far as I can recall, this is the only song from a video game that has ever brought me to tears. Damn it Supergiant, please keep making beautiful games. So excited for Pyre, and of course, its soundtrack.
i heard the soundtrack before playing the game, i was like "huh, pretty" but after playing transistor HOLY FUCK the fucking feels dude... this song makes me want to cry so bad
Перевод песни Paper Boats: Секунды уходят в прошлое Моменты проходят И просто так они ушли Река всегда находит море Так беспомощно Как ты нашел меня Мы - бумажные лодки, плавающие в ручье И казалось бы Мы никогда не расстанемся Я всегда найду тебя Словно это написано на звездах Ты можешь бежать, но ты не сможешь скрыться Попытайся Как луна, которая вызывает приливы Этот немой путеводитель Взывает изнутри Тянет меня сюда и толкает меня туда Он везде Висит в воздухе Мы - магниты, тянущиеся с разных полюсов Без контроля Мы никогда не расстанемся Я всегда найду тебя Словно это написано на звездах Ты можешь бежать, но ты не сможешь скрыться Пытайся Я всегда, всегда найду тебя я буду всегда Я всегда, всегда найду тебя я буду всегда Я всегда найду тебя Словно это написано на звездах Мы можем бежать, но мы не можем скрыться Попытаемся Я всегда найду тебя Словно это написано на звездах Мы можем бежать, но мы не можем скрыться Попытаемся Я всегда, всегда найду тебя я буду всегда...

Top ten anime plot twists that.
God, I just love the subtle male voice behind Red's. Like she was finally able to sing with her lover again. GOD, TOO MANY FEELS.
That moment when the male voice joins in from behind in the first verse - melt~
+Belbecat thought i was the only one who noticed.... i like to think it's Boxer/Blue/the voice in the Transistor. like when he sings along with The Spine when the Spine makes him distorted if you hum whilst doing it? *cry* so beautiful
+Belbecat Yeah, I wish Korb had more vocal presence in the ost, like in Bastion. He and Ashley complement each other's voices so well
Luckily it looks like we're gonna be getting a lot of that in Pyre!
Jacob Lucas yep!!! so excited for Pyre and its soundtrack

Such a nice choice of urs m8
The choice of going inside the transistor to be with Blue is the best thing ever. Sort of like "What's the purpose of building a world without you?"
Or without anyone to live in it. I mean, Cloudbank was f'ed to to the point with no one else was there in it, BUT Royce and Red. Even then, you had to kill Royce just to get out of his last ditch effort to control the transistor.

Seconds march into the past

And just like that they're gone
The river always finds the sea
So helplessly
Like you find me
We are paper boats floating on a stream
And it would seem
We'll never be apart

You can run, but you can't hide
Try
Like the moon that makes the tides
That silent guide
Is calling from inside
And pull me here and push me there
It's everywhere
Hanging in the air
We are magnets pulling from different poles
With no control
We'll never be apart
I will always find you
Like it's written in the stars
You can run, but you can't hide
Try
I will always, always find you
I will always

DoreoC oh shit dood, I didn't pick up on that. I was too annoyed at Royce's voice to pay attention to what he was saying
DoreoC &&&&&VAUGE DESCRIPTION OF THE WHOLE GAME SPOILER&&&&&&&&&&&&
I'm sort of glad they didn't do an A or B choice because... there was ever only one choice.
Transistor is a Tragedy.
The outcome was kinda bleak. But Red did the best she could under the circumstances.
The ending was very "Romeo and Juliet". We hope the two lovers are together elsewhere.
I liked how the game didn't tell you their relationship until near the end. Because it wouldn't have made sense in context of the lines. Would have been forced.
"You...you turned left"
It makes me wonder, how much foreshadowing is there in the game?Is that line a coincidence, or symbolic?--MINOR VAGUE SPOILER------------------------

Ninjas slicing all of the onions.
And make a salad!
"thats enough slices"
To this day I dearly wish there was a version of Paper Boats that was a full duet, they sound SO BEAUTIFUL TOGETHER at "the river always finds the sea"
There is now, from their anniversary album.
It always rains, when I hear this song, and yet there's a sun shining.
It's a terrible day for rain.
I can still hear the Transistor beg her. Don't do it. It falls on deaf ears. The cries.
And the happiness they find, again united.

+AceTrainerJordan Story of my life.
Holy fuck did the ending get me. I loved this game so hard, and trying to find out Red and Blue's relations is one of my favorite parts.
***** It really was. I love how much emotion Red can convey, about Blue and everything else, without even talking.
'Blue' Huh? is that an official thing or? Cause I could live with that if it were.
Ankh Phoenix Nah, that's one of many unofficial names. He's referred to in the files as "Boxer," and that's another one, for instance.
Ah. Either are good names for me..
I will always mash cull, like it's written in the stars.
get, get, get, void, cull
Void, breach, spark/crash/flood (whatever function takes up least space to get a combo), cull- works like a charm
Starting turn at melee range allows my combo allows me to oneshot jerk 3.0. I also upgrade void with spark (2 layers) and crash (applies debuff)
Nice. Also (I'm on my third recursion now) void, spark, crash, void, spark, cull
God, I love cull
THANKS OLMARQ
Cull, or should I say Olmarq, is pretty dang epic! Actually, considering I've played this wonderful game about 7 or 8 times, I still have the last section of his backstory to unlock.
Please never stop making games, although with the way Transistor is selling I'm glad to feel like that won't happen.
I want more...I NEED more....
2 years... probably but we might get some DLC, maybe, very unlikely,
if you like good small-ish developers i would suggest Arcen Games. they don't make anything near as beautiful and polished as Bastion/Transistor, but all of their games are uniquely different in some way or another, and tend to have enough depth to keep you more than busy till Supergiant makes the next one.
I bought transistor 4 days befor it came on the ps+ for free and ididn't even feel bad i'm glad i supported the people who made this game
Pyre, anyone?
Fun, but nowhere near as good as Bastion or Transistor. The lack of voice acting really leaves something to be desired.

I think the most beautiful part of this song is that in the first verse, the line goes:
"You can run but you can't hide"
Then, in the second verse (after the scene where Red finds her lover in the Country), that line changes:
"we can run but we can't hide".
So heartwarming! :)
I was already emotional over that ending- but the minute the dude starts singing I'm like 'Fuck'.
The ending was absolutely beautiful, Supergiant. Hell, this whole game was. Please, don't stop. Ever.
I think so toooo

Still, had to buy them anyways.
Have you played pyre then?
Just when you think it couldn't get any more heartrending, you go back to listen to the credits song and you hear the back up vocals.

That silent guide,
Is calling from inside
And pull me here and push me there
It's everywhere,
Hanging in the air
We are magnets pulling from different poles
With no control,
We'll never be apart
I will always find you
Like it's written in the stars
You can run but you can't hide, try
I will always, always find you
I will always
I will always, always find you
I will always
I will always find you
Like it's written in the stars
We can run but we can't hide, try
I will always find you
Like it's written in the stars
We can run but we can't hide, try
I will always, always find you
I will always
Supergiant is the number one proof that the indie-revolution succeeded.
That and cave story, that game made me feel a whole other kinda way.
@@ricecooker7037 Cave Story actually kinda kicked off the indie revolution. It was a catalyst for alot of people seeing that games made by indie devs can be just as if not higher quality theNN AAA titles
"Hey Red... We're not gonna get away with this, are we?"
I love that when you listen close enough, you can hear someone (presumably Darren Korb) singing as who is likely supposed to be the guy in the sword.
Just another little detail that you get out of playing the game multiple times that makes the experience complete.
transistor : please let me hear your ... voice
red : ...
transistor : please no .. anything but that...
player : ... no thats so unfair ...*CRIES*...
Can relate, #relatable
Whenever I feel sad and I need to cry but tears don't come, I play this song. Literally can't listen to it without crying, it's that beautiful.
Thank you Supergiant Games for making this and other gems!
this game was the only time in my life that I actually bought a soundtrack
GelsonBlaze same. I never regretted it.
Guess you missed Bastion, son.
Even now
A full 9 years later
I come back to these songs, just to experience them again, same with the game itself, I think I've played it... maybe 6-7 times now at least over the years
And every time, it's an amazing experience, every time it's something so special, and so superb, and every time it manages to bring out these same, intense feelings
And so, let me just say thank you SuperGiant Games
For making what is, in my opinion, one of the best games to ever exist
I won't lie, the ending got me all teary-eyed
'You can run but you can't hide' This line still gets me, damn like it's been 6 years
For anyone who wants to play along.

this game... is great! but the ending crushed my soul so unexpected :O Omg i love it!
Same here. The worst part is that the ending make you think "Oh, everything is going to be alright." right before dropping the bomb.
I actually missed most of this song the first time because I was still in shock about the ending. Then I listened to it again, and now I can't stop :( / :). I love this game
at first thats what i thought, but then i realized it wasnt so bad after all. I think she chose right and in the end they both ended up happy, can you really say such an ending was bad? in fact i think it was perfect :)
I had same response as the guy in Trasistor.. Red... dont do it Red.. nooooo
AoKAY00 The thing is, though, that was a HUGE leap of faith. Neither Red OR her love knew definitively that Red would be taken into the Transistor with him. Which is why he was telling her not to. Which is why she hugs the sword right before sitting down with his body. In case it didn't work, it was the closest she could come to saying goodbye.
THE FEELS, MY GOD, THE FEELS!
The woman singing is a goddess.
6 years later, I still get goosbumps while listening to this.
I've beaten this game like 10 times already and still can't help myelf but cry to this song... My heart will never heal
Me too!!!!!
it wasn't enough that this track is as good as it is, its also what red hums to blue when he's near the spine to keep him grounded, making this diagetically the song she uses to bring him back to reality and comfort him is just. chefs kiss never change
Open stream that form the road,
With every turn like written code.
Gem of stones that drift unknown,
To never see the future that is shown.
(We are) Trace of stars that glitter of deep
That guide us far, but eyes not keep.
Together in hand in hand,
We found our way to the country-land.
So glad I downloaded this with PS Plus. Had no expectations of this game , other than it looked kinda boring from what I had seen. Apparently... I was wrong.
Yep me too
+Naetoru That's the whole point of this (and Bastion too). A victory in dark times.
Sadly, I bought a PS4 one month after they put it on PS Plus.
I also thought this was boring when I watched the trailer. Almost didn't get it. Thank god I got i bfore the Epic Games free games week ended.
I've just finished this game for the first time and half an hour later I'm still crying. I don't know why I took so long to finally play this game, but I understand now why it's such a masterpiece. Supergiant, you guys really do make some of the most unique games I've ever played, so thank you for that ❤️ Can't wait to play Hades next!
I cried when Red gave up her life and the power to recreate the whole town to live and stay with her men in transistor
when she replied "hey" to his "hi" i was like "that the woman i want to have in my life"
If I ever get lost, I wonder if anybody will look for me.
such questions we all ask in life, though i think it better to wonder how many people will look.
I havent even played this game but the soundtrack is fucking amazing, i've listened to this one like 50 times
YES. Its only like five dollars on mobile. SOOOOO WORTH IT.
Welp, played the game at this point. Yeah, it's totally worth it xD
I haven't listened to this in a while.
The instant it started playing, my whole body jolted with the shivers... Such amazing music
I kinda hate when you throw your soldiers at me, but seems like you have a heart after all
Do you guys have a decent internet service in Shurima? I heard the Xer'Sai's were literally eating the optical fibers.
Eh, I won't lie, it's irritating having my internet drop halfway through a video, or in the middle of a match of CS:GO, because an alien-bug-thing ate my cable, but I keep my soldiers on task. They're pretty good at their jobs. y'know! They can kill bugs AND fix a fibre optic cable in minutes!
8 years later, still best gaming soundtrack of all times bar none.
RIP TotalBiscuit who called it first.
Oh Red, I hope you are never apart from him. Time and space will never separate your love
spoilers as usual.
I think one of the things that makes this ending so heartbreaking is that there really is no good end to this story. Poor Sybil just wanted to be with Red, so she told one simple lie that Red would be alone... Instead, the unnamed man in the transistor was there, and Red kept the Transistor. The Process went out of control and that was the end of Cloudbank... The Transistor can recreate the structures but not the people. If she'd stayed, Red would've been alone in Cloudbank... So she integrated herself. His reaction was exactly mine: "No... what are you doing? No, please, stop!"
Transistor is a tragedy. One that makes me cry so hard and I fucking love it to death, you glorious bastards.

I loved that part with unlocking the story Elements, you didn't know who these people are, and by unlocking these features, this world just got better/ sadder.
The relationship between grant and asher, the down and ups of Royces, live, and that Sybil thought that Red's Boyfriend want's to keep her away from Red.
The one thing that i still think about is, what is that World? It is definetly a Computer Simulation, the Process as enemy's, the Government as admins, a Transistor as powerful Weapon. One of the best parts were definetly the fact, that there were no Enemies, the Process was doing it's job, that's just what it is, Camerata didn't want to lose control over the Process, and all they wanted was just making Cloudbank better for everyone.
Greysterization Could you tell me why you capitalized the first letter of random words? Please? I've been wondering why people do that because its so goddamn annoying.
Crell Hudson Its there to annoy you, get used to it.
I loved how this song blended with the ending. It made it deep and really emotional and awesome. This is a master piece. Don't stop making games.
The same thing as with bastion.. I just sat in awe listening to this track. Next game when? haha
The ending had my heart torn apart. Well, not just mine, I suppose, Red had her toll as well.
I heard this song on the way home from work and due to my complex relationship and feelings from the game. I burst into tears, so many feels I couldnt handle it. Such an amazing song!
This entire game is so beautiful and bittersweet I was bawling by the end.
It was painful yet perfect.
Now everytime I hear this song, no matter my mood, I can't help but tear up.
I loved this game. Absolutely wonderful. Bawled my eyes out, especially due to the amount I can relate. Just another beautiful game from Supergiant, jeez.
I bought this game four times on four different platforms
That's how much I loved this thing
This song gives me an insane amount of feels.
Eliseo Alilin Your avatar gives me an insane amount of fear. That is the best and creepiest smile I've ever seen, man.
sylvan sylvan :)
I legitimately can't listen to this without crying like a small child.
The beginning of this song alone is able to make my chest ache and my tears start flowing. Thank you, Supergiant Games.
There's a reason I chose indie games over AAA+ title games.
Long live the Supergiant Games, always supporting you guys! :)
Wow, can't believe this game is 9 years old.
I finished it today and all I've got to say is it really blew me away. The art is beautiful, I loved the style so much, the combat mechanics are simple but so much fun to figure out the combinations for, the music is some of the best I've ever heard in a game and there's so much interesting lore to piece together that I couldn't stop myself from just unlocking every little bit of it. A hauntingly beautiful story...
If there's anyone just listening to the soundtrack here who has yet to play the game, please do so. This OST is what got me to try the game in the first place, and I don't regret a second of it.
I bawled like a baby.
"Well a gunslinger like you is adventually gonna meat up with a couple of gasfella's"
The end of the game made me cry and when I replayed the game for the 6th time I cried a lot more when I collected the deepest details of the story.
"Hi"
"Hey..."
I'm not crying, my eyes are just-
You know what? This game is so good that my crying is a way of complementing it. So I openly admit it, I cried, this game is awesome.
***************SPOILERS*****************
Yeah, I saw a lot of people that said "Well, she can just bring him back with the Transistor, because it can make anything." She could bring back her lover, but would it really be him? All of our experiences make us who we are, and even if Red had known him her whole life, there was no way she could have learned everything about him. If she had just created someone like him, it would have been a shell of stuff she saw about him, not how he actually was.
Loved the ending and the game. Fantastic job Supergiant. NOW I WANT MORE.
I get chills so hard starting around the 00:50 - 1:10 mark.. recently did a full LP of this for my channel.. Been a long time since a game gave me such a long lasting impression..
this song is perfect. i don’t know enough music terminology to express how but EVERYTHING. the combination of different strings over the driving beat, the chords, the way darren and ashley’s voices meld so well, the heartfelt lyrics, it’s all perfect.
Haven't finished the game for a long time.
Red just reminds me of a friend whom I lost and loved. (I mean honestly a tall redhead with a determination in her step😅)
Her "Hey..." just fucking broke me man...
It was just beautiful.
Wish I went with her back then.😏
Listen closely to the back-up voice. Try not to cry more. Transistor's ending made me cry. A lot. This is the first game to do this to me. I will never forget this game.
I wonder what happened to the people that the transistor absorbed? Would they be in the same world inside the transistor as Red and the Unnamed man?
No. Red and her lover are together because they know each other perfectly, are soulmates. I think it's royce who said he was had a "trip" in the transistor and that he could only faithly hear people that he knew but not more.
"The Country" as its referred to in-game is their version of the afterlife.
Teph Although wouldn't the transistor be destroyed at the end? That's what happened to Royce's transistor when he died. I think that would mean that those inside of it would be released to the "country"
illdiewithoutpi
Royce died IN the transistor.
At one point, the man in the transistor asked:
"Do you think there are others in here besides me? I don't see anyone and when I look up at where the sky should be, I see you."
Based on this, I assume that they are in their own version of The Country.
Melancholic, but also really, really pretty. Don't think I'll ever forget this one.
What a performance really pulls at the heart strings.
I start following Super Giant gaming since transistor, then I tried Bastion and I am recently playing Hades.
I have to say: this studio never disappoints me
Got chills at 0:25 when the male voice came in.
It's so amazing how this song fits so perfectly for the ending of the game, you feel in your soul and heart it resonating with the game ending...
Crying isn't a bad thing. It's reflection of emotions.
Oh hey, a song that's makes me nostalgic for things that never happened 😢
How they always have s tier art and soundtracks ?! 🔥🔥
This song is on par with "The Best is Yet to Come" from MGS1 as one of the saddest credits songs I've heard in a videogame. It's as beautiful as it is tragic.
Starsailor - Way to Fall is also one of the saddest songs I've heard from credits. From MGS3. Hurts internally, man.
When I finished playing Transistor, I clapped. First time a game has made me do that. Obviously, I'm too manly to cry.
Just beat the game and holy cow do I love this song. Also, the ending got me.
The begining of this song made me feel so emptiness....like there're nothing left...even hope is gone....no solution....this song is just too damn good.
Probably my favorite track from this game.
I just can't get over this
I'm not a gamer. I'm a hobby musician. I need this album
Came back to listen to this track again. As far as I can recall, this is the only song from a video game that has ever brought me to tears. Damn it Supergiant, please keep making beautiful games. So excited for Pyre, and of course, its soundtrack.
God this song...Transistor's ending is so bittersweet...Can't get over it...
This puts me so much in mind of my own mortality that it HURTS... but I keep coming back.
i heard the soundtrack before playing the game, i was like "huh, pretty" but after playing transistor HOLY FUCK the fucking feels dude... this song makes me want to cry so bad
Перевод песни Paper Boats:
Секунды уходят в прошлое
Моменты проходят
И просто так они ушли
Река всегда находит море
Так беспомощно
Как ты нашел меня
Мы - бумажные лодки, плавающие в ручье
И казалось бы
Мы никогда не расстанемся
Я всегда найду тебя
Словно это написано на звездах
Ты можешь бежать, но ты не сможешь скрыться
Попытайся
Как луна, которая вызывает приливы
Этот немой путеводитель
Взывает изнутри
Тянет меня сюда и толкает меня туда
Он везде
Висит в воздухе
Мы - магниты, тянущиеся с разных полюсов
Без контроля
Мы никогда не расстанемся
Я всегда найду тебя
Словно это написано на звездах
Ты можешь бежать, но ты не сможешь скрыться
Пытайся
Я всегда, всегда найду тебя
я буду всегда
Я всегда, всегда найду тебя
я буду всегда
Я всегда найду тебя
Словно это написано на звездах
Мы можем бежать, но мы не можем скрыться
Попытаемся
Я всегда найду тебя
Словно это написано на звездах
Мы можем бежать, но мы не можем скрыться
Попытаемся
Я всегда, всегда найду тебя
я буду всегда...
