I have spent more hours in the Valley of Avalar, than I have in any part of this game. As a kid, playing on the 360, I didn't quite understand how to play by myself. What I did know though, is how to select this chapter. So whenever I played this game, I came to the Valley to Avalar to run and fly in the beautiful design of this chapter, fight the enemies, discover the chests and crystals, and just sit and listen to the music. I listen to this song while working and it just reminds me of the wonderful memories with this beautifully created game!
Funny story: same. there was even one time I beat all of Avalar with two players while the other player did nothing with the exception being the button-mashing segments.
I have more than 300 hours in Dawn of The Dragon on my ps2. And no way in any kinds of hell, wasn't at least half of that spent in Valley of Avalar. The music.. The enviroment.. The peaceful flights listening to the music? I could never tire of it! And then a couple more hours on the ps3 Dawn of The Dragon. Of course.
@@nighttimeserenity2447 I ramdomly remembered the music not too long ago and the only thing I could remember was that part in the valley. I don't have any memories about the game other than flying around the Valley of Avalar lol, I think little me thought it was the point of the game, so I never finished it :')
I actually find it fascinating how the game was designed to give us the feeling of freedom of being a dragon, while also making it grounded and confined (due to being a story driven game in 2008)
Well, other than A New Beginning and The Eternal Night, the other Legend of Spyro games. The ending of The Eternal Night was tear jerking like mad. A New Beginning was just beautiful.
@@thefiresworddragon927 yeah the song in the credits of The Eternal Night was Extremely Saddening and will make anyone who's Emotional Immediately start crying *me included*
Man this game was so fun. Me and my sister played this together on the PS2, and we had great times doing it. I still remember something we sometimes said "If its not lagging, somethings wrong." Because that game never ran smoothly and we were used to the lag XD
@@Soliferikuski I am, I just realized today TEN is 12 Years Old because it was released on October 2nd 2007, I fear for what will happen next year if this predicted it but wasn't made to be a prediction.
I decided to play Spyro again for the first time in 10-12 years and all I can say is that it's exactly as I remember it. I usually don't cry but I did when I wondered out of Cheetah Village and flew to the skies, this is a core memory.
I just loved that you could actually properly fly in this game like an actual Dragon instead of just either gliding or having it be a thing just for specific levels or with a powerup.
Playing this on my XBox 360 as a wee girl.... being absolutely enchanted by this area. The music, the village, the waterfalls, the secrets. I need to replay this soon. I can’t believe I almost forgot about this game. Memories of younger days.
@@sc4rl3t30i personally played it on the wii, but would recommend getting it for the xbox 360 (if possible) and give it a go! I adored it! (P.s. don't get the wii version unless you like active motion control :/)
This was like one of the only happy/fun sounding songs in the entire series and it sticks out like a sore thumb as a result and it's simply one of the most amazing experiences in the world to hear this orchestral team working on making something sounding happy, I wouldnt even believe this was in C-Major if I didnt know it for fact!
I look back and think, "If Malefor has his way, all of this is gone." Plus considering we get dropped into straight up constant warfare after this level, they probably wanted to give the players a little time to soak in the world before hell breaks loose.
I mean hey! It was needed. The stakes are stacked so high against you at this point of the story, it’s nice to just take a little break, relax, and help your boy meadow return to the village
I rember when I have 9 years old exploring this beautiful valley of Avalar on my playstation 3 Thanks you so much for uploading this soundtrack....really thank you so much
I played this game so many years ago. I have searched for this specific song forever. Finally. It gives me goosebumps both like this and in-game every single time. It had shaped my love for the franchise, my childhood and love for dragons. This song right here. I want this played on my wedding and my funeral. It has shaped me as a person. This song is so nostalgic. It brings back the memories of innocent days. Just flying through the overworld, mashing the attack button to do barrel rolls, side-hops and groundpounds. This has truly changed my life.
Is there any people who will never part ways with their Xbox 360 because of this one game and it's one song?. What will it be like when I'm an old man one day 50 years later and I play this game level?. the thought of that makes me shudder, but in a sort of good way. It is like looking back on my life. The good memories. I remember one day when I was 21 or 22 I was riding a horse cantering around and it was a deep, magical and truly beautiful ride and I remember hearing this music playing in my mind. it's the kind of music that makes you wish you were young and truly alive again. the more time that goes on since this game was made, the more this song is going to make you cry. It's that beautiful and pure.
What I love about this game is that you can fly and the scenery is So Beautiful! I would fly in the Valley of Avalar and Twilight Falls for hours. This game is a true childhood classic!
This game should not have gotten the hate that it did. Dawn of the Dragon will always be my favorite out of all of the Spyro games. People also complain about how Spyro looks, but I think he looks great. The reignited Spyro also looks great, but I think he looks better in this game than any of its predecessors.
Don't worry yourself, I just played through the game again a couple of days ago and 24 year old me couldn't find meadow for over an hour even though I went into the mouth of the cave that he was trapped in (I was playing the ps2 version and the cave was pitch black so I literally couldn't see the tunnel leading to meadow).
I never cry never, and i mean it, but this is The only song that makes me cry, while i listen to this masterpiece i see the 9/10 years old me playing the game with my brother, amazin song and amazing game.
So grateful I could be around to have created those memories so long ago. Long rainy nights in front of the bulky dinosaur TV, Flying level to level to hit 100 percent completion... And after every night, Taking a stop to the Valley of Avalar, just to listen to that beautiful choir.
This soundtrack is so beautifully composed that it’s honestly difficult for me to describe just how much I love it. It’s right up there with the Hide ‘N’ Seek theme from A New Beginning, it’s that good!
Meadow: Thank you... friends. You saved my life. Sparx: Finally, some gratitude. You're welcome. Meadow: You've met Chief Prowlus no doubt. Not all of us are of the same mind. Cynder: Well that's putting it mildly, isn't it? Spyro: Can you move? We need to get you out of here. Meadow: *struggled* I'm sorry... *tried to get up but couldn’t* I'm afraid my leg is broken... Spyro: *turned his head to look at Cynder* Meadow: Just go back to the village and tell them where I am... Spyro: *turned his head back to Meadow* Your leader doesn't trust us. Cynder: *turned her head to look at Spyro* Spyro: If we return without you, he'll likely assume the worst... Cynder: *turned her head back to Meadow* Yeah, and blame us for it. Spyro: *turned his head to look at Cynder* Meadow: Uh, the fool. I understand. *thinks* There is a raft at the far end of the valley. If you could bring it here, perhaps I could pull myself onto it. Spyro: Okay, we'll do it. Meadow: To launch it, you'll need the weights from the supply cave, but it's locked. Sparx: Oh, that figures* Meadow: There is a hermit who lives beneath the waterfall at the other end of the valley. He has a key, But the cave is hidden... look for the markings on the wall to open the path. Sparx: Uh, psst, easy... Uh, raft, cave... (mumble)… (mumble)… (mumble)… Got it! Yes! Spyro: *looked up at Sparx* We'll come back for you. I promise. *leaved with Cynder and Sparx for the search for the Hermit to get the key*
Spyro: "I'll go I'll find your missing friend. Hunter can come with us " Later.... Hermit: "Come closer so I can see you in the light. tell me, why have you retuned here?" Spyro: What do you mean? I've never been here before, Hermit: "not you the female!" Cynder: "You must be mistaken." Hermit: "indeed, Your appearance has changed, but not your eyes, Your eye give everything away." Hermit: "You are The Black Dragon Cynder; the terror of the sky's the dark masters puppet." Cynder:" I was... but …But I'm not anymore. I'm not proud of the things I've done." Hermit: "oh is it that simple... to turn your back on Malefor? Spyro: "You don't have to listen to him Cynder!" Hermit: "Did you not recognize the creatures moved in the shadows? The apes too had severed the dark master, but more for their own greed and thirst for power than any true loyalty to him. this is how Malefor repaid them...doomed to remain in the dark...feeding off the power of others never being fulfilled." Hermit: "you can run...but you can't hide Cynder" Spyro: "Cynder! let's go!" Hermit: "The dark master will find you" Spyro:" Cynder... are you okay?" Cynder:" I'm fine I'll be fine,"

Honestly out of all the Spyro game Dawn of the Dragon is probably the closest to feeling like a true dragon simulator.

many memories come to me with that music, is awesome

I'd argue that A New Beginning has a lot of "happy/playful" songs

Fun fact: Rebecca Kneubuhl (one of the composers for this soundtrack) used to be in the band Spiralmouth, which did the music for Crash Twinsanity.
Considering twinsanity is my favourite crash game, and dawn of the dragon is my favourite spyro game. That makes a weird amount of sense.
A very happy boy listened to this and thought to himself:“Now you’ve heard beauty.“
Makes me think of something that could have been in the original Rayman game. Both games have such amazing soundtracks
Is beautiful, i want to cry😢
My favorite track from the game
This was my favorite music in the game. Brought back a lot of memories.
One of my fav levels. Also you can hear one of my absolute fav tracks in the hermit section.

Poor treatment of the Guardians in this game. Would not hurt for them to have an onscreen win in a fight. Though the music is beautiful.
I’ve got one question, where’s the first valley of avalar song? I can’t find it on this playlist.
That one would be a rearrangement of the 'Temple to Freezer' theme from A New Beginning.
