What are your favorite moments in gaming with music? 👀 LINKS Support the channel: ko-fi.com/earlybird Discord: discord.gg/CrkQ86CVXg twitter.com/earlybird_tv twitch.tv/earlyybird
Prince of Persia Warrior Within, I Stand Alone by Godsmack starts playing. I get hype and sweet chin music a hole in my wall ( from hype )and my mom took my xbox 😂 i was a stupid child
Without a doubt, mine's definitely the boss fights in Legend of Zelda, TP. When you finally start turning the tables on these horrible monsters you're up against, the normal boss music changes to a reprisal with the hero's theme mixed in. It's great
The Quake menu theme, starts off as some intense industrial music that slowly transforms into this droning atmosphere that still sticks with me to this day
Absolutely! Not only music is important to highlights impactful scenes or moments, some games are made or broken by their soundtrack. The first example that comes to mind is the Hotline Miami duology, whose music is hand picked and a perfect complement to the gameplay.
I've never heard of Anatomy. Now you got me curious. Also as an exclusively Horde/Blood Elf player, I'm more of a Silvermoon BGM enjoyer and my favorite moment remain to this day the end of the Blood Elf starting quests leading you in front of Sylvanas, to bring her back her necklace. She then sings the Lament of the Highborne with her banshees, which I admit made me a little emotional at the time. As for one of my personal favorite theme from games, recently I've been listening back to Secret of Mana soundtrack and Fear Of The Heavens, to this day, fill me with image of adventures. Same goes for Chrono Cross' Scars of Time and Wild Arms' Into The Wilderness.
Lament of the Highborne is definitely a great one and pretty much all of the Chrono Cross music gets me haha. Anatomy is an awesome short game highly recommend! It spooked me pretty good 🤣
The credit music for the first Mass Effect (Faunts - M4, Pt. 2) gave me goosebumps the first time finishing that game. Oh and in Mass Effect 2 when you launch the final mission is also pretty good.
In the intro-cinematic to Devil May Cry 3, when Dante punches the Jukebox and it starts jamming, that shet slaps and sets a damn good tone for kind of action you're about to play through.
@@early-tv Yesss! I just feel like Dante got shafted in DMC V with the worst theme he's had to date, although opinion is subjective, it's still a whole different vibe to every game where he was the protagonist.
Similar to that Cyberpunk scene, the part in Death Stranding when you approach Port Knot City is such a huge relief. Everything up until that moment is so stressful and scary, and then you make it over the mountain and you see the city on the horizon and the music kicks in… Also Anatomy rules. One of the most effective analogue/found footage horror games ever made.
God Not Tomorrow is such an amazing song. The whole scene, the idea that ONE DUDE spent everyday staying after work sleeping under the desks just so he could be credited for his own work and he creates THAT scene??? Moving in the most incredible way
That Silent Hill song always makes me tear up, that scene is done so incredibly well and still holds up today imo. And fantastic Patrick to break up the feels lol
videogames have better music than the actual music industry as a whole XD. Ever played any of the persona games? I recommend Persona 4, for its characters, 3 for the story and themes, and 5 for the music!!! I remember traveling into areas i shouldnt be as a blood elf, just to listen what kind of music the alliance races would have in their lands.. And while they had great music tht would get me in trouble for just wanting to listen to it... Silvermoon still the best... not biased at all, nuh uh! And while all silent hill games have great music... Room of Angel fucks me up XD, so spiteful while sounding so lovely. Most messed up part is, i have been thinking of Lisa Garland so much lately, i kinda fell back into buying old consoles and owning physical copies of both the games i loved, and the games i would have loved to play and skipped... And still don't have silent hill 1, while i do have 2 and 3... The characters in the CGI cutscenes of those games are still more expressive than most in engine characters nowadays... Lisa's scene is straight up some of the best PSX cutscene, up there with games like Final Fantasy (which had the best CGI on the platform)... So stop digging into my brain, SH is scary enough as it is, to feel like my thoughts are being harvested for content!!! 14K, woooh!!! XD
@@early-tv i really don't know how old silent hill games managed to hit us so hard... Around taht time we didnt have awesome colorful stickers that say "It's Trauma" earned on phenomal battle passes!!! We were such simple creatures, to think that "just music" would be enough to move us... As for persona 4... It's my favourite of the persona series by far... The characters are so loveable... Liker Persona 3 has no chill, and persona 5 is just too cool... Persona 4 characters are such dorks, i legit feel i could be their friend and they really feel like family compared to any other entry..: And the music... here is the thing, in a vacuum Persona 4 music is the simplest of the 3 famous persona games, but it's the most evocative of these games, because you care so much more about Inaba and its inhabitants... Unlike other entries, takes place on the countryside, so fewer characters to interact with and know, and they just feel closer to the character and each other... Also the silent protagonist of P4, Yu... He's the funniest, cause he's got the perfect pokerface and stoic look that works both for humor and seriousness... Sorry for the Persona rant, not what this video is about... But i super recommend it, im a huge shin megami tensei fan, and persona 4 is my second favourite of the whole series, in fact the next animation after the upcoming one is about persona 4... This time around im gonna post them faster XD. Anyways keep up the good work!
It’s been like 17 years since I last played WOW but honestly that music with the context made me shed a few tears, so I truly understand how that must have felt for someone playing the game.. ❤ thank you four this video, I’d love to see more of this kind of videos Also moments that made me cry because of the music were: - the horse scene in Ghost of Tsushima - the backstory of Kuro in Ori - the end of the prologue part with roxas in kingdom hearts 2 - leaving Earth in Mass Effect 3 …. Etc. way too many moments actually
I think the best *ambient* horror music is in Lobotomy Corporation. The game has "Trumpets", which indicates the danger level of the facility you are managing. The escalation from the groovy techno beats to sirens, and finally a state of depressed choral anxiety is terrific. Also, the sound of the employees gels with the feeling that everything has been ruined, on account of going mad and causing more chaos. LobCorp has termination of employees SOP to mitigate disaster, and I don't mean a pink slip. Considering how some days in the game can take a couple hours to resolve, the soundtrack is very good at not becoming boring, while maintaining a level of fear.
Funny that you mention both Cyberpunk and Outer Wilds, because I've seen someone made 2 music mashups of these 2 great games: the bittersweet one: I Really Want to Stay At Your House & Travelers’ Encore ruclips.net/video/5AUjg-e8cKg/видео.htmlsi=S3YCXOTvUupdCWLz and the more melancholic one: Been Good To Know Ya & End Times ruclips.net/video/Gpg7J0R7j3g/видео.htmlsi=N9w12GrRnlOdgjMU
Oh this was definitely a great topic choice. I can't really comment on most of the games mentioned here since I haven't played them but I so agree with Silent Hill's music. Silent Hill 1's intro still gives me chills every time I hear it. It's mysterious and somber but yet comforting all at the same time. And Lisa's theme, that one gets me every time as well. The scene was beautifully executed and it's not surprising why it's a favorite for many of us. If I had to share a game's music that gave me the feels, as cheesy as it's gonna sound, I'd go with Sonic Adventure 2's final scene music when the heroes reflect on Shadow's death. The music pulls at my heart every time I see it, it was a beautifully done scene with a perfect song for it. Another one that comes to mind is the theme that plays in Alice Madness Returns in the final scene of the game. After all that Alice goes through in the game with a somber but somewhat uplifting ending, the song playing totally makes me feel a rush of emotion lol And last but not least, the song "Healing Winds" from the Soul Calibur series, specifically the Soul Calibur 3 version. Beautiful song that gives me all kinds of feelings when I listen to it haha.
Games dont often catch me in the feels but one for me was Dark souls 3 - Soul of cinder. After playing 1 & 2, Hearing Gwyn's theme remixed in got me killed because I was too busy crying
I LOVE talking about video game music. There are a few cases that I really really like. 1) Vector to the heavens from Kingdom hearts. This songtakes place during a very important moment in the story where Roxas has to fight and defeat one of the few and only friends he ever knew. Its a tragic fight especially because when the friend is defeated due to the nature of their existence everyone ends up forgetting about them when they die. 2) DragonSong final fantasy 14: This song is the main theme of the Endwalker expansion for ff14 and man it is so emotional with the beautiful singing voice. It also ties in to the story of the expansion with the backstory of the dragon war and the way it connects to the story. 3) I believe from Persona 5: This isnt a sad song but it is hype as fuck. It plays during the final boss of persona 5 royal and feels just like a grab big celebration for the game and the characters as they overcome their last trial (If you ignore the spin offs)
I would like to add pretty much all of the music from empire of the undergowth in here personally, especially the expirment theme, all of these themes are dynamic, it is pretty relaxing when you are doing nothing but digging holes and what not gathering food, but the moment beetles or spiders or even the very hand that feeds you from the crazy scientist arrives, the themes go bunkers and when your ant queen gets attacked the violins are literly screaming and dying in the songs that play troughout the levels. Empires of the undergrowth is by no means a walk in the park but it aint too difficult either (unless you want it to be) as overpreparing can and will get you trough every expiriment, all you gotta remember is if you think you are overprepared you can be sometimes still be underprepared, because that crazy scientist guy just doesn't play fair and activly cheats.
In Hades when you reunite Orpheus and Eurydice you get to hear them sing a duet of Good Riddance. Up until then you could hear them singing it by themselves so when the duet it hits the feels hard. I think Supergiants Games does a great job with music moments in their games. Also Cyberpunk has great moments too. Especially if you have seen Edgerunners.
Yamaoka's entire score in Silent Hill is legendary, but Lisa's transformation is a tour-de-force of music and animation. Notice how Lisa's eye winces as that trail of blood runs over it.There are many modern games that don't have that attention to detail. I may be biased; having played the game on release when I was young, but it's the best scene in video game horror. She's desperate for Harry to comfort her, but he sees a monster.
the outer wilds soundtrack is the only video game soundtrack that i regularly listen to after playing the game. Each one is so impactful and just brings me back to my first playthrough of the game its amazing. The lost reels playlist made by Andrew Prahlow is also extremely good, give it a listen if you haven't yet!
One game that I think deserves special recognition for its soundtrack is Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The Xenoblade titles have always had fantastic music, but 3 really sets a new standard not just for the franchise, but for games as a whole, and a large part of that has to do with how intimately woven into the narrative and worldbuilding the music is. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, but the entire latter part of chapter 5 will stick with me for a long time. I imagine anyone who's played the game would agree.
Cyberpunk’s soundtrack is the best, I genuinely get lost in that game for hours and hours just cruising on my kusanagi in the desert. Kinda ruined other games for me. Besides 3, the Resident Evil remakes are all great, but the soundtracks sucked. 4 slightly improved on it but I always end up using the classic soundtrack, anyways. Great video dude!
That musical sting is from Anatomy!! I knew I recognized it lol but im a big baby so I only know it bc of Jacob Geller’s excellent video about haunted houses
I won't spoiler anything, but Final Fantasy 14 has some impactful music, be it Answers or a certain song in a certain part of the story in Endwalker that really gripped my throat also the game at 11:51, is that something like cry of fear? Don't recognize it but it feels that way Chatting about banging robots? How many times was Aigis brought up
I can't put the song that plays in the ending cutscene in Cassette Beasts on any playlist because it makes me always sad when I listen to it. This game has an stellar soundtrack but this one song let me feel way to many feelings.
Must have pull cord to play "My discord server is always sick of hearing me talk about Keanu Reeves." and "I choose to enjoy any game that has "punk" in the title." lol
Great video Early bird! There's honestly way too many to list! Unfortunately I kinda despise Cyberpunk 2077 on every level (well aside from one event/sequence) & the music did not stick with me at all. But I'm glad you enjoyed it! The opening theme for the PS2 game Dark Cloud really sticks with me personally. Not to mention the music for the last Dungeon "The Gallery Of Time" as well. It's so foreboding. Persona 3's ending/Credits song Memories Of You is just perfection. I was in tears the entire time.
I have so many songs from Cyberpunk I wanted to mention they’re so good! Never Fade Away, Major Crimes, Let You Down, ending credits of Phantom Liberty, all the car radio music hahah. Even separated from the game the songs are just so great to me. Totally get that it’s not up everyone’s alley though 😁
In Hushed Whispers, Dragon Age Inquisition. Don't look it up, don't do it! Doing so might spoil one of the best and depressing missions in a video game in recent memory, IMO. The music is appropriately haunting in that mission and the way in which it portrays a literal end of the world is something you really never see in games. It had such an impact on me I READ THE DARN *WIKI PAGE* for it! I know who wrote this mission for some reason! Mary Kirby! She's GOATED!
It's been forever since I last played Bastion, but it was absolutely chock-full of incredible music moments, it's the main thing I remember from the experience. There were times when it was genuinely hard for me to focus on gameplay because the music had me so in my feelings- which honestly might have been part of the point. (super nice vid btw, I'm so happy I bumped into your channel, you're a pleasure to listen to!)
Frostpunk being the first on the list... oh absolutely. I don't think I have experienced a more hopeless...and yet hopeful piece of music in my life than The City Must Survive. Also the WoW theme that plays is a mix of A world Divided (Anduin's Theme) and Canticles of Sacrifice for those of you who are wondering and want to look up the full song(s). They are indeed as Early says, some of the most beautiful pieces of music in WoW history. I have had them both in my playlists for years.
I'm a sucker for when a game hypes you up with a sudden musical score! The Allmother fight in Monster Hunter is quite brutal, but as you're just hanging on, the main theme "Proof of a Hero" starts playing and a dragon arrives for backup! It completely hyped me up 😂
I remember how it felt my first playthrough of Final Fantasy 10, when the storyline catches up to the campfire animation from the game's startup. After playing the game to that point, you finally had the full context for that scene and exactly why everyone was so melancholy. Then, the rest break is over, it's time to go forward and do the big important thing. Then the track "A Fleeting Dream" starts, which is just a wrenchingly sad reprise of a melody you've heard throughout the whole game in much happier situations. And I just sat there with the controller in my hands, not moving, because I didn't want to go forward. I just wanted to stay and listen to the song, because if I went on and beat the game, there was no way the ending wasn't going to be sad.
it would appear i'm late to the party.... damn notifications.. I got big feels off "Stray". (easily makes my list of "top 20 best games of all time") Fairly big feels from things all throughout both Destiny games (up until forsaken, after which i stopped playing...big feels attached to that) Saw some amazing things in "Astroneer" Moderate feels from some things in "Starfield"
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos was very strong on the front of music. From the tutorial mindscape alone, to Pseudo's introduction, to the music that plays when encountering the Brother and the Director in the Zonectik Mountains, to Pseudo's Return which plays when facing Claw for the second time and the Outcast at the Lonely Shore. Pseudo's Return takes elements from Pseudo's Theme, like the chanting, tribal music and electric guitar, and kicks them up a notch. There is more anger, and it is much more directed and focused, than Pseudo's initial theme was. (Warning, lots of spoilers ahead). In the middle of a game there's a segment where Pseudo's companion falls ill, disturbed and in pain from a horrible sound we cannot hear. Pseudo believes he knows where the sound is coming from, but cannot take the boy with him-- so he has to leave him alone and unprotected in the town. The rest of the game world goes white, except for the path to the source of the sound. Nothing else matters but the chance to ease the boy's torment, while being powerless for the duration of the journey. Thus, you travel alone, back to the mountains in hopes to still be in time, as Pseudo himself laments that the boy could already be dead for all he knows. But there is a great obstacle in the way. Four or five of the toughest mercenaries --a Platybelodon man, an obese turkey man with teeth, an orange rhinoceros man and a goose woman with boomerangs-- come at you all at once from an ambush. And then a song starts playing of immediate intensity, scale and grandeur. The land of Zenozoik is hardly a land of mythical creatures that command respect: for all intents and purposes, you're just a middle-aged ugly hermit fighting off some ugly thugs. But for Pseudo himself, defeating these goons is one of the most intense moments of his life, where the life of one who gives his own life purpose is on the line. Fittingly, the track is called "Unstoppable". Worth mentioning as well is that after this section and breaking the source of the sound that torments the boy, Pseudo comes across a blue-skinned creature with no mouth and yet a deep, throaty and raspy voice, a great golden crown that seems to grow directly from its head, and clothing that can only be described as "regal". During this fight, the music that plays sounds, itself, quite regal. Duty-bound. Deep chanting and drums. Not malicious or even as grand as Unstoppable, but nonetheless incredibly strict. This creature is encountered again in the very end of the game. A situation arises not unlike the mid-game one where you have to leave the boy alone. You go from the beginning of the game all the way to the highest peak, back in the Zonectic Mountains, where a flying pyramid shape blots out the night sky-- you can see your goal all the way. And yet again, nothing else matters. During this journey, a track called To the End plays. But instead of anger, it feels like a dance. A grand ritualistic celebration of dance and song, yet drenched in desperation and tears. One can imagine great groups of the most horrible monsters dancing in choreographed in elegant ways: a juxtaposition of beauty and duty against Pseudo's powerlessness and love, racing to once again retrieve the creature who made his life worth living. When finally arriving at the top, where the pyramid is set to pick up the mouthless king and the boy, Pseudo confronts the creature. And the mouthless king's logic has a terrifying accuracy and tells of a grander plan, but not without sympathy for Pseudo's plight. "We cannot act only for ourselves, like the Corwid of the Free." he states, as he refers to a group of people who willingly abandon sanity to pursue one singular absurd goal in life, and live as maniacs in the woods with no sense of self-preservation. Pseudo simply states he cares not for the "grand plan" and simply wants back his boy. Thus he throws the first punch, which the mouthless king catches. And the track called "Battle of Fates" starts playing. The track is somewhat akin to Pseudo Returns, in that it builds upon the previous battle theme with the mouthless king. But it is grander, more merciless and dour, and now from the very start it incorporates horns: an instrument symbolizing duty, before the rumbling chanting rolls in like an avalanche, as if a vanguard of the immovability of the Grand Plan that the mouthless king serves. The choir tells, in emotions rather than words, of how much there is beyond what we can control, beyond our own lives and safety, entwining reverence and fear alike. But there is still softness: Once the chanting stops, all focus goes to the frail, fragile and soulful singing of the Boy, present since The Boy Calls: The very first song of the game that played in the tutorial in Pseudo's dreams. The duty gives way to let the voice of the taken child be heard. During the fight, the mouthless king has linked Pseudo and himself together: every strike against the king is a strike against Pseudo, and every round the king commands Pseudo to stop. Not out of indignance, but out of pity, for there is sadness in his voice, upon seeing this desperate man destroy himself for reasons that go beyond logic alone. After two rounds, the duty is cast aside. A third and final round ensues and Pseudo's Wrath begins playing. The most angry, focused, aggressive yet beautiful theme connected to Pseudo: fast-paced, bombastic, male and female voices singing, a dance of anger and desperation whirling around each other with the faintest hint of resignation. Yet this acceptence is nonetheless overwhelmed by this whirlpool of emotions, as the pained hermit continues a battle that he, in neither mind nor body, cannot win. I do not know if you know of Clash: AoC, and this description has been full of spoilers. Nonetheless, i hope you found it interesting and that it has touched your own emotions. It's a beautiful game full of color, monsters, fighting and it's all as genuine as can be. If you took the time to read through this all, thank you for doing so, and I wish you a good rest of your day.
@@early-tv I'm really glad to have made someone interested in it! I do hope that the emotions shall still hit you, despite all the spoilers. It's a prequel to the Zeno Clash series and thus full of monsters, freaks, color, and inspirations ranging from medieval monster paintings and woodcuts to prehistoric animals. Zenozoik's a fascinating world deserving of more attention. I hope you'll find the land of Zenozoik interesting as you look up more about it. There's so much to talk about when it comes to games and music. Music connects. The game No Straight Roads can attest to that. It's all about music, why people make music, music as an industry and the effect that has on people. *Now i got to keep myself from unleashing a torrent of other game mentions upon an unsuspecting avian*.
@@early-tv The intro always calms me, but End Times is a cortisol injection. I've been holding off playing the dlc for so long now because I know I can only ever experience it once.
One of the more recent game I played was Dave the Diver and sometimes I would open the game sit on the menu for 10 minutes submerging in the chill, surreal, serene theme song. Quite relaxing tbh
"Its so joever" *Proof of a Hero plays* "COME YOU SONS OF BI-TCHES, DO YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER?!" **Loads Pom-Pom** MY NAME, IS CLYDE BLACKBURN, IM A PILOT. IM A GAMBLER. AND I AM A STAND UP KINDA GUY,I AM A STAND UP KINDA GUY. Also,fighting games music. If your fighting game doesnt have some sick soundtrack that makes me both go to the gym and fight godzilla, and also go deep into lyircal analysis. I dont want it. Looking at you Guilty Gear.
Really digging the format, good on you for going beyond plot summaries. Those are cool but original thought pieces like this are [chef kiss] The SH1 scene with Lisa makes me so mad. You just don't have any option to NOT treat her like an absolute idiot. With the trademark Japanese emotionally unavailable protagonist gaslighting everyone experiencing trauma, drives me up the wall. "I'm so scared!" "Nah, you're just confused." Get effed, dude, come on. Would single word of comforting her be too much effort? Anything at all? Go get eaten by a demon, i don't care whether you find your wife if you'd treat her like that too. Right? Or am I the ahole?
Secret Of Mana's "Now Flightless Wings" (post credit scene music) makes me teary eyed every time I hear it. Video game music can be incredibly impactful.
One thing I appreciate with Frostpunk is that the sound effects usually meshes very well with the music, where I kind of miss a few KATHUNKs from the generator or whatever makes that sound.
My favorite soundtrack and ost was dewprism from the game threads of fate. It is one of my childhood games from ps1. I replayed it again in my teens and at that time got amazed of it's music. My most favourite was the bg music on where you are having a some talk with father you saved in the woods. That music really clears my mind and calms me down like when you are a kid, innocent and unknowing of the problems in the world. Now, me, a father, still listen to it whenever i reach to the point of breaking down and even just relaxing by myself. Games really are wonderfull experience in the past and I'm glad i was born at that time.
this video gave me some big game feels, too. really well done!!! music is such an important part of games and their impact. It feels like lots of modern games try to go for much safer, blander music that may be impactful in the moment, but doesn't stay with you. These tracks all definitely seemed to have lasting impact to me - even though I haven't heard most of them.
I'm still trying to figure out WHY. But i find your voice soothing lol. Your videos make great company for my home office mornings. Keep it up! You're doing great!
Oh, hello Anatomy! Anyway, I really feel you on the Outer Wilds front. I was weeping at the end of that game. That said, I feel I should give a special shout out to the DLC, Echoes of the Eye. Granted, a lot of the feelings I experienced over the DLC were due to the impact the main game had in me, but MAN the story in the DLC gets me Particular tracks that get me, along with the scenes they correlate to, are: - Echoes of the Eye - Departure - Travellers’ Encore I feel I should emphasise the last one since I would listen to Travellers a lot while working on school coursework, so when they made an altered version of it for the DLC, you better believe I was in shambles
I adore Cyberpunk. Loved it since Launch and it only got better. But the moment where Lizzy sings on stage had me just awestruck. A goosebumps moment I did not expect. I think I rewatched it in my Megatower Apartment countless times, itts just magical.
The first time hearing Inner Demon in Batman: Arkham Knight and Dusk Horizon in Unreal after leaving the crashed prison ship were my most memorable music times.
I had plenty I wanted to include but I had to avoid a lot of them due to issues with copyright haha. Also didn’t want to make it a super long video but there are dozens of other great ones 😁
@@early-tv oh, copyright infringment? God damn you, Ninetndo XDD Also, if there're dozens can we expect part II of this one? ALSO also, what do you think about Resident Evil (the original trilogy)? It had great tunes, like the boss theme (RE2) and the save room ones (RE2 & RE3), that makes the moments you hear 'em very emotional^^)
Strange how none of your videos are recommended to me even though I watched most of them. I have to go to my subscriptions for that. Oh well, a minor inconvenience I guess
@@early-tv btw, are you in any way related to the Proper Bird YT channel? Proper Bird stopped uploading around the same time your horse vid was published. The timing would be right. Also your voice and hers are very similar and the video topics overlap a good bit. What a strange world we live in....
What are your favorite moments in gaming with music? 👀

Persona 3's Ending & Final Boss.
If you know, you know.
Prince of Persia Warrior Within, I Stand Alone by Godsmack starts playing. I get hype and sweet chin music a hole in my wall ( from hype )and my mom took my xbox 😂 i was a stupid child

@@twinguide Yeah...that's a good one. Soul-rending moreso than heartbreaking.
Absolutely! Not only music is important to highlights impactful scenes or moments, some games are made or broken by their soundtrack. The first example that comes to mind is the Hotline Miami duology, whose music is hand picked and a perfect complement to the gameplay.
Ohhh Hotline Miami music is SO good.
100% agree, the new Doom games also have that same feel to me, the music is such a huge part of the experience
I feel the same way about that Silent Hill sequence.. no matter how many times I’ve played it, I’m never prepared lol
Shadow Hearts 2, when they fail to ressurect a certain person, and Karin Cries for Yuri and that damn piano music starts playing...
Replaying that game now, it’s gonna get me when I get there 😩
Honestly that whole series has great music.
Thank you for not spoiling Outer Wilds for us! Big preesh for Big Game Feels! ❤
I've never heard of Anatomy. Now you got me curious.
Also as an exclusively Horde/Blood Elf player, I'm more of a Silvermoon BGM enjoyer and my favorite moment remain to this day the end of the Blood Elf starting quests leading you in front of Sylvanas, to bring her back her necklace. She then sings the Lament of the Highborne with her banshees, which I admit made me a little emotional at the time.
As for one of my personal favorite theme from games, recently I've been listening back to Secret of Mana soundtrack and Fear Of The Heavens, to this day, fill me with image of adventures. Same goes for Chrono Cross' Scars of Time and Wild Arms' Into The Wilderness.
Lament of the Highborne is definitely a great one and pretty much all of the Chrono Cross music gets me haha.
Anatomy is an awesome short game highly recommend! It spooked me pretty good 🤣
Oh from cry of fear, the song Crow from Cry of Fear has stuck with me for some reason. Horror games seem to have great soundtracks
The credit music for the first Mass Effect (Faunts - M4, Pt. 2) gave me goosebumps the first time finishing that game.
Oh and in Mass Effect 2 when you launch the final mission is also pretty good.
I’ve never played Mass Effect! I really need to at some point haha.
That's my pick too :)
Even ME3's opening theme "Leaving Earth" was pretty powerful. And in context to the cinematic the heart just plummets in your chest.
Keep on shining bright star!
In the intro-cinematic to Devil May Cry 3, when Dante punches the Jukebox and it starts jamming, that shet slaps and sets a damn good tone for kind of action you're about to play through.
Ahhh yes definitely a good one. DMC music in general *chefs kiss*
@@early-tv Yesss! I just feel like Dante got shafted in DMC V with the worst theme he's had to date, although opinion is subjective, it's still a whole different vibe to every game where he was the protagonist.
Yeah the Dante theme isn’t my favorite BUT we did get Devil Trigger and Bury the Light so I can forgive 🤣
@@early-tv True, and the option to pick Dante's themes from earlier titles also made it better.
That Lizzy scene had me wanting to clap towards my computer screen.
Haha me too! Such a cool moment.
Music is some of the best sounds I've ever heard.
Lion's Rest: I would have followed you, my brother, my captain--my King.
Similar to that Cyberpunk scene, the part in Death Stranding when you approach Port Knot City is such a huge relief. Everything up until that moment is so stressful and scary, and then you make it over the mountain and you see the city on the horizon and the music kicks in…
Also Anatomy rules. One of the most effective analogue/found footage horror games ever made.
Death Stranding has such amazing music!! And to this day I don't think a game has scared me quite like Anatomy did. Gold star for recognizing it!! 🌟🤣
its crazy how apparently all the cg in SH1 was made by one guy...
Cyberpunk; aka Theseus' Punk
Great Warrior Seto
Make more vids please
Thank you!! I’m working on it, just at a little bit of a slow pace due to irl work schedule haha
God Not Tomorrow is such an amazing song. The whole scene, the idea that ONE DUDE spent everyday staying after work sleeping under the desks just so he could be credited for his own work and he creates THAT scene??? Moving in the most incredible way
Obligatory music moment;
*Hands you Axe*
"Take it. We fight as one!"
*Shadowbringers Theme kicks in*
It’s not a video game, but the cyberpunk anime really nailed music being impactful. Maines song for his episode is just incredible
Ohhh the anime absolutely nails the music ♥
That Silent Hill song always makes me tear up, that scene is done so incredibly well and still holds up today imo. And fantastic Patrick to break up the feels lol
For me Nier Replicant soundtrack is what made the game. Without it the game would not hit all the right points in the right moments
videogames have better music than the actual music industry as a whole XD. Ever played any of the persona games? I recommend Persona 4, for its characters, 3 for the story and themes, and 5 for the music!!!
I remember traveling into areas i shouldnt be as a blood elf, just to listen what kind of music the alliance races would have in their lands.. And while they had great music tht would get me in trouble for just wanting to listen to it... Silvermoon still the best... not biased at all, nuh uh! And while all silent hill games have great music... Room of Angel fucks me up XD, so spiteful while sounding so lovely.
Most messed up part is, i have been thinking of Lisa Garland so much lately, i kinda fell back into buying old consoles and owning physical copies of both the games i loved, and the games i would have loved to play and skipped... And still don't have silent hill 1, while i do have 2 and 3... The characters in the CGI cutscenes of those games are still more expressive than most in engine characters nowadays... Lisa's scene is straight up some of the best PSX cutscene, up there with games like Final Fantasy (which had the best CGI on the platform)... So stop digging into my brain, SH is scary enough as it is, to feel like my thoughts are being harvested for content!!!
14K, woooh!!! XD
Room of Angel fucks me up too 😭
I’ve played Persona 3 and some of 5. I need to finish it and play 4 someday haha :,)
@@early-tv i really don't know how old silent hill games managed to hit us so hard... Around taht time we didnt have awesome colorful stickers that say "It's Trauma" earned on phenomal battle passes!!! We were such simple creatures, to think that "just music" would be enough to move us...
As for persona 4... It's my favourite of the persona series by far... The characters are so loveable... Liker Persona 3 has no chill, and persona 5 is just too cool... Persona 4 characters are such dorks, i legit feel i could be their friend and they really feel like family compared to any other entry..: And the music... here is the thing, in a vacuum Persona 4 music is the simplest of the 3 famous persona games, but it's the most evocative of these games, because you care so much more about Inaba and its inhabitants... Unlike other entries, takes place on the countryside, so fewer characters to interact with and know, and they just feel closer to the character and each other... Also the silent protagonist of P4, Yu... He's the funniest, cause he's got the perfect pokerface and stoic look that works both for humor and seriousness...
Sorry for the Persona rant, not what this video is about... But i super recommend it, im a huge shin megami tensei fan, and persona 4 is my second favourite of the whole series, in fact the next animation after the upcoming one is about persona 4... This time around im gonna post them faster XD.
Anyways keep up the good work!
It’s been like 17 years since I last played WOW but honestly that music with the context made me shed a few tears, so I truly understand how that must have felt for someone playing the game..
❤ thank you four this video, I’d love to see more of this kind of videos
Also moments that made me cry because of the music were:
- the horse scene in Ghost of Tsushima
- the backstory of Kuro in Ori
- the end of the prologue part with roxas in kingdom hearts 2
- leaving Earth in Mass Effect 3
…. Etc. way too many moments actually
I think the best *ambient* horror music is in Lobotomy Corporation. The game has "Trumpets", which indicates the danger level of the facility you are managing. The escalation from the groovy techno beats to sirens, and finally a state of depressed choral anxiety is terrific. Also, the sound of the employees gels with the feeling that everything has been ruined, on account of going mad and causing more chaos. LobCorp has termination of employees SOP to mitigate disaster, and I don't mean a pink slip.
Considering how some days in the game can take a couple hours to resolve, the soundtrack is very good at not becoming boring, while maintaining a level of fear.
Honestly if Timber Hearth in Outer Wilds doesn’t at least make you miss home then do you even have emotions
Funny that you mention both Cyberpunk and Outer Wilds, because I've seen someone made 2 music mashups of these 2 great games:
the bittersweet one: I Really Want to Stay At Your House & Travelers’ Encore
ruclips.net/video/5AUjg-e8cKg/видео.htmlsi=S3YCXOTvUupdCWLz
and the more melancholic one: Been Good To Know Ya & End Times
ruclips.net/video/Gpg7J0R7j3g/видео.htmlsi=N9w12GrRnlOdgjMU
Oh this was definitely a great topic choice. I can't really comment on most of the games mentioned here since I haven't played them but I so agree with Silent Hill's music. Silent Hill 1's intro still gives me chills every time I hear it. It's mysterious and somber but yet comforting all at the same time. And Lisa's theme, that one gets me every time as well. The scene was beautifully executed and it's not surprising why it's a favorite for many of us.
If I had to share a game's music that gave me the feels, as cheesy as it's gonna sound, I'd go with Sonic Adventure 2's final scene music when the heroes reflect on Shadow's death. The music pulls at my heart every time I see it, it was a beautifully done scene with a perfect song for it. Another one that comes to mind is the theme that plays in Alice Madness Returns in the final scene of the game. After all that Alice goes through in the game with a somber but somewhat uplifting ending, the song playing totally makes me feel a rush of emotion lol
And last but not least, the song "Healing Winds" from the Soul Calibur series, specifically the Soul Calibur 3 version. Beautiful song that gives me all kinds of feelings when I listen to it haha.
I wouldn't mind a spoiler-full video on Outer Wilds!
I might someday!! Such a great game c:
@@early-tv 👀
Early uploading a video! WHAT THE FUCK IS BAD CONTENT? RAHHHHHH! ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️
Speaking of Outer Wilds music, y’all can play End Times at my funeral
Library of Ruina. Absolute kino moments wouldn't be possible without it's amazing vocal themes.
Library of Ruina. Absolute kino moments wouldn't be possible without it's amazing vocal themes.
Song of the Anicents - Devola & Popla - Nier
If you know what I mean
or
Zanerkand - FFX; Simple and Clean and titel screen melody - Kingdom Hearts
Games dont often catch me in the feels but one for me was Dark souls 3 - Soul of cinder. After playing 1 & 2, Hearing Gwyn's theme remixed in got me killed because I was too busy crying
I LOVE talking about video game music. There are a few cases that I really really like.
1) Vector to the heavens from Kingdom hearts. This songtakes place during a very important moment in the story where Roxas has to fight and defeat one of the few and only friends he ever knew. Its a tragic fight especially because when the friend is defeated due to the nature of their existence everyone ends up forgetting about them when they die.
2) DragonSong final fantasy 14: This song is the main theme of the Endwalker expansion for ff14 and man it is so emotional with the beautiful singing voice. It also ties in to the story of the expansion with the backstory of the dragon war and the way it connects to the story.
3) I believe from Persona 5: This isnt a sad song but it is hype as fuck. It plays during the final boss of persona 5 royal and feels just like a grab big celebration for the game and the characters as they overcome their last trial (If you ignore the spin offs)
I would like to add pretty much all of the music from empire of the undergowth in here personally, especially the expirment theme, all of these themes are dynamic, it is pretty relaxing when you are doing nothing but digging holes and what not gathering food, but the moment beetles or spiders or even the very hand that feeds you from the crazy scientist arrives, the themes go bunkers and when your ant queen gets attacked the violins are literly screaming and dying in the songs that play troughout the levels.
Empires of the undergrowth is by no means a walk in the park but it aint too difficult either (unless you want it to be) as overpreparing can and will get you trough every expiriment, all you gotta remember is if you think you are overprepared you can be sometimes still be underprepared, because that crazy scientist guy just doesn't play fair and activly cheats.
In Hades when you reunite Orpheus and Eurydice you get to hear them sing a duet of Good Riddance. Up until then you could hear them singing it by themselves so when the duet it hits the feels hard. I think Supergiants Games does a great job with music moments in their games.
Also Cyberpunk has great moments too. Especially if you have seen Edgerunners.
Yamaoka's entire score in Silent Hill is legendary, but Lisa's transformation is a tour-de-force of music and animation.
Notice how Lisa's eye winces as that trail of blood runs over it.There are many modern games that don't have that attention to detail.
I may be biased; having played the game on release when I was young, but it's the best scene in video game horror.
She's desperate for Harry to comfort her, but he sees a monster.
the outer wilds soundtrack is the only video game soundtrack that i regularly listen to after playing the game. Each one is so impactful and just brings me back to my first playthrough of the game its amazing. The lost reels playlist made by Andrew Prahlow is also extremely good, give it a listen if you haven't yet!
For me, it's the Secret Area song from Battleblock Theatre 😢 It really grounds me.
One game that I think deserves special recognition for its soundtrack is Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The Xenoblade titles have always had fantastic music, but 3 really sets a new standard not just for the franchise, but for games as a whole, and a large part of that has to do with how intimately woven into the narrative and worldbuilding the music is.
I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, but the entire latter part of chapter 5 will stick with me for a long time. I imagine anyone who's played the game would agree.
Cyberpunk naysayers are just straight up incorrect.
Haha I agree, but I am also very biased 🤣🤣
Great Video, Birdie. :')
All this music is so inspirational, its definetly going on my playlists.
Cyberpunk’s soundtrack is the best, I genuinely get lost in that game for hours and hours just cruising on my kusanagi in the desert. Kinda ruined other games for me. Besides 3, the Resident Evil remakes are all great, but the soundtracks sucked. 4 slightly improved on it but I always end up using the classic soundtrack, anyways. Great video dude!
I will randomly open Cyberpunk just to drive around and listen to the radio. Bonus points if it’s raining 🤣
@@early-tv Yeah, the rain is special in Cyberpunk. I like to play jazz on the radio and pretend to be in Cowboy Bebop. 😹
That musical sting is from Anatomy!! I knew I recognized it lol but im a big baby so I only know it bc of Jacob Geller’s excellent video about haunted houses
Haha you get the gold star!!! 🌟
I don't think I've ever been as terrified in a game as that moment 🤣
I won't spoiler anything, but Final Fantasy 14 has some impactful music, be it Answers or a certain song in a certain part of the story in Endwalker that really gripped my throat
also the game at 11:51, is that something like cry of fear? Don't recognize it but it feels that way
Chatting about banging robots? How many times was Aigis brought up
It’s from an analogue horror game called Anatomy. Highly recommend no game has ever scared me quite like the “The basement is dark” moment 🤣
@@early-tv Ah it's a smaller game, not too surprised I haven't ever seen it, does seem interesting though!
I can't put the song that plays in the ending cutscene in Cassette Beasts on any playlist because it makes me always sad when I listen to it.
This game has an stellar soundtrack but this one song let me feel way to many feelings.
I am so glad you put Outer wilds in this and didn't spoil anything! Best game ever made in my opinion.
Haha that’s one you truly have to experience for yourself, I couldn’t bring myself to spoil anything but the music implementation is just so good 😊
"I just enjoy any game that has punk in the title" how are going to attack me personally like this
11:50 Anatomy by Kitty Horrorshow reference married to a Silent Hill bit???? Aaaaaa I love Kitty Horrorshow SO MUCH
🌟Haha yeeeesss!!
Love Kitty Horrorshow as well, I don’t know how she does it but nothing has ever scared me quite like Anatomy 🤣
Earlybird plushie when?
Must have pull cord to play "My discord server is always sick of hearing me talk about Keanu Reeves."
and "I choose to enjoy any game that has "punk" in the title." lol
Great video Early bird! There's honestly way too many to list! Unfortunately I kinda despise Cyberpunk 2077 on every level (well aside from one event/sequence) & the music did not stick with me at all. But I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The opening theme for the PS2 game Dark Cloud really sticks with me personally. Not to mention the music for the last Dungeon "The Gallery Of Time" as well. It's so foreboding.
Persona 3's ending/Credits song Memories Of You is just perfection. I was in tears the entire time.
I have so many songs from Cyberpunk I wanted to mention they’re so good!
Never Fade Away, Major Crimes, Let You Down, ending credits of Phantom Liberty, all the car radio music hahah. Even separated from the game the songs are just so great to me. Totally get that it’s not up everyone’s alley though 😁
In Hushed Whispers, Dragon Age Inquisition. Don't look it up, don't do it! Doing so might spoil one of the best and depressing missions in a video game in recent memory, IMO. The music is appropriately haunting in that mission and the way in which it portrays a literal end of the world is something you really never see in games. It had such an impact on me I READ THE DARN *WIKI PAGE* for it! I know who wrote this mission for some reason! Mary Kirby! She's GOATED!
To be honest most of Dragon Age Inquisitions music is so good haha ♥
Loved The Dawn Will Come scene too.
It's been forever since I last played Bastion, but it was absolutely chock-full of incredible music moments, it's the main thing I remember from the experience. There were times when it was genuinely hard for me to focus on gameplay because the music had me so in my feelings- which honestly might have been part of the point.
(super nice vid btw, I'm so happy I bumped into your channel, you're a pleasure to listen to!)
Thank you I appreciate it!!
Bastion does have some great music c:
Frostpunk being the first on the list... oh absolutely. I don't think I have experienced a more hopeless...and yet hopeful piece of music in my life than The City Must Survive.
Also the WoW theme that plays is a mix of A world Divided (Anduin's Theme) and Canticles of Sacrifice for those of you who are wondering and want to look up the full song(s). They are indeed as Early says, some of the most beautiful pieces of music in WoW history. I have had them both in my playlists for years.
Such an awesome song ♥
Genshin Impact - Port Ormos theme
FYF for the Anatomy scene. Nearly made me jump out of my skin when I heard that god awful radio.
Still the spookiest game for me to this day 😩
I'm a sucker for when a game hypes you up with a sudden musical score! The Allmother fight in Monster Hunter is quite brutal, but as you're just hanging on, the main theme "Proof of a Hero" starts playing and a dragon arrives for backup! It completely hyped me up 😂
11:50 nobody recognized the game? Is this from Silent Hill Shattered memories?
Two people got it so far hehe!! It’s from an analogue horror game called Anatomy
I remember how it felt my first playthrough of Final Fantasy 10, when the storyline catches up to the campfire animation from the game's startup. After playing the game to that point, you finally had the full context for that scene and exactly why everyone was so melancholy. Then, the rest break is over, it's time to go forward and do the big important thing.
Then the track "A Fleeting Dream" starts, which is just a wrenchingly sad reprise of a melody you've heard throughout the whole game in much happier situations. And I just sat there with the controller in my hands, not moving, because I didn't want to go forward. I just wanted to stay and listen to the song, because if I went on and beat the game, there was no way the ending wasn't going to be sad.
Ahh yeah that is such a great example. FFX has amazing music all around ❤️
That wow theme is priceless!
One of my favorite games is The White Knight Chronicles you should try them out.
Haven’t heard of them before! I’ll give em a look :)
it would appear i'm late to the party.... damn notifications..
I got big feels off "Stray". (easily makes my list of "top 20 best games of all time")
Fairly big feels from things all throughout both Destiny games (up until forsaken, after which i stopped playing...big feels attached to that)
Saw some amazing things in "Astroneer"
Moderate feels from some things in "Starfield"
I can't believe I still haven't played Stray yet, I definitely need to. Thanks for reminding me haha : )
@@early-tvIf you're anything like me, you won't regret it.. just prepare for the feels, lol
Every time i go on a long walk, i like to listen to the elder scrolls themes.
Quality choice
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos was very strong on the front of music. From the tutorial mindscape alone, to Pseudo's introduction, to the music that plays when encountering the Brother and the Director in the Zonectik Mountains, to Pseudo's Return which plays when facing Claw for the second time and the Outcast at the Lonely Shore.
Pseudo's Return takes elements from Pseudo's Theme, like the chanting, tribal music and electric guitar, and kicks them up a notch. There is more anger, and it is much more directed and focused, than Pseudo's initial theme was.
(Warning, lots of spoilers ahead).
In the middle of a game there's a segment where Pseudo's companion falls ill, disturbed and in pain from a horrible sound we cannot hear. Pseudo believes he knows where the sound is coming from, but cannot take the boy with him-- so he has to leave him alone and unprotected in the town.
The rest of the game world goes white, except for the path to the source of the sound. Nothing else matters but the chance to ease the boy's torment, while being powerless for the duration of the journey.
Thus, you travel alone, back to the mountains in hopes to still be in time, as Pseudo himself laments that the boy could already be dead for all he knows.
But there is a great obstacle in the way. Four or five of the toughest mercenaries --a Platybelodon man, an obese turkey man with teeth, an orange rhinoceros man and a goose woman with boomerangs-- come at you all at once from an ambush.
And then a song starts playing of immediate intensity, scale and grandeur. The land of Zenozoik is hardly a land of mythical creatures that command respect: for all intents and purposes, you're just a middle-aged ugly hermit fighting off some ugly thugs. But for Pseudo himself, defeating these goons is one of the most intense moments of his life, where the life of one who gives his own life purpose is on the line.
Fittingly, the track is called "Unstoppable".
Worth mentioning as well is that after this section and breaking the source of the sound that torments the boy, Pseudo comes across a blue-skinned creature with no mouth and yet a deep, throaty and raspy voice, a great golden crown that seems to grow directly from its head, and clothing that can only be described as "regal".
During this fight, the music that plays sounds, itself, quite regal. Duty-bound. Deep chanting and drums. Not malicious or even as grand as Unstoppable, but nonetheless incredibly strict.
This creature is encountered again in the very end of the game.
A situation arises not unlike the mid-game one where you have to leave the boy alone. You go from the beginning of the game all the way to the highest peak, back in the Zonectic Mountains, where a flying pyramid shape blots out the night sky-- you can see your goal all the way. And yet again, nothing else matters.
During this journey, a track called To the End plays. But instead of anger, it feels like a dance. A grand ritualistic celebration of dance and song, yet drenched in desperation and tears. One can imagine great groups of the most horrible monsters dancing in choreographed in elegant ways: a juxtaposition of beauty and duty against Pseudo's powerlessness and love, racing to once again retrieve the creature who made his life worth living.
When finally arriving at the top, where the pyramid is set to pick up the mouthless king and the boy, Pseudo confronts the creature. And the mouthless king's logic has a terrifying accuracy and tells of a grander plan, but not without sympathy for Pseudo's plight.
"We cannot act only for ourselves, like the Corwid of the Free." he states, as he refers to a group of people who willingly abandon sanity to pursue one singular absurd goal in life, and live as maniacs in the woods with no sense of self-preservation.
Pseudo simply states he cares not for the "grand plan" and simply wants back his boy. Thus he throws the first punch, which the mouthless king catches. And the track called "Battle of Fates" starts playing.
The track is somewhat akin to Pseudo Returns, in that it builds upon the previous battle theme with the mouthless king. But it is grander, more merciless and dour, and now from the very start it incorporates horns: an instrument symbolizing duty, before the rumbling chanting rolls in like an avalanche, as if a vanguard of the immovability of the Grand Plan that the mouthless king serves. The choir tells, in emotions rather than words, of how much there is beyond what we can control, beyond our own lives and safety, entwining reverence and fear alike.
But there is still softness: Once the chanting stops, all focus goes to the frail, fragile and soulful singing of the Boy, present since The Boy Calls: The very first song of the game that played in the tutorial in Pseudo's dreams.
The duty gives way to let the voice of the taken child be heard.
During the fight, the mouthless king has linked Pseudo and himself together: every strike against the king is a strike against Pseudo, and every round the king commands Pseudo to stop. Not out of indignance, but out of pity, for there is sadness in his voice, upon seeing this desperate man destroy himself for reasons that go beyond logic alone.
After two rounds, the duty is cast aside. A third and final round ensues and Pseudo's Wrath begins playing. The most angry, focused, aggressive yet beautiful theme connected to Pseudo: fast-paced, bombastic, male and female voices singing, a dance of anger and desperation whirling around each other with the faintest hint of resignation.
Yet this acceptence is nonetheless overwhelmed by this whirlpool of emotions, as the pained hermit continues a battle that he, in neither mind nor body, cannot win.
I do not know if you know of Clash: AoC, and this description has been full of spoilers.
Nonetheless, i hope you found it interesting and that it has touched your own emotions. It's a beautiful game full of color, monsters, fighting and it's all as genuine as can be.
If you took the time to read through this all, thank you for doing so, and I wish you a good rest of your day.
I haven’t ever heard of this game but I’m definitely going to check it out now 😁
@@early-tv I'm really glad to have made someone interested in it! I do hope that the emotions shall still hit you, despite all the spoilers.
It's a prequel to the Zeno Clash series and thus full of monsters, freaks, color, and inspirations ranging from medieval monster paintings and woodcuts to prehistoric animals. Zenozoik's a fascinating world deserving of more attention.
I hope you'll find the land of Zenozoik interesting as you look up more about it. There's so much to talk about when it comes to games and music. Music connects.
The game No Straight Roads can attest to that. It's all about music, why people make music, music as an industry and the effect that has on people.
*Now i got to keep myself from unleashing a torrent of other game mentions upon an unsuspecting avian*.
The fear of blood, tends to create fear for the flesh... Cue the music... Goosebumps
I had listened to outer wilds OST over and over again, for months afterwards.
Those songs will randomly pop up in my shuffle and will instantly make me sad lol 🥺
@@early-tv The intro always calms me, but End Times is a cortisol injection.
I've been holding off playing the dlc for so long now because I know I can only ever experience it once.
One of the more recent game I played was Dave the Diver and sometimes I would open the game sit on the menu for 10 minutes submerging in the chill, surreal, serene theme song. Quite relaxing tbh
It was nice to enjoy these moments with y'all.
Thanks a ton, appreciate ya!
"Its so joever"

MY NAME, IS CLYDE BLACKBURN, IM A PILOT. IM A GAMBLER. AND I AM A STAND UP KINDA GUY,I AM A STAND UP KINDA GUY.
Also,fighting games music. If your fighting game doesnt have some sick soundtrack that makes me both go to the gym and fight godzilla, and also go deep into lyircal analysis. I dont want it. Looking at you Guilty Gear.
Really digging the format, good on you for going beyond plot summaries. Those are cool but original thought pieces like this are [chef kiss]
The SH1 scene with Lisa makes me so mad. You just don't have any option to NOT treat her like an absolute idiot. With the trademark Japanese emotionally unavailable protagonist gaslighting everyone experiencing trauma, drives me up the wall.
"I'm so scared!"
"Nah, you're just confused." Get effed, dude, come on. Would single word of comforting her be too much effort? Anything at all? Go get eaten by a demon, i don't care whether you find your wife if you'd treat her like that too.
Right? Or am I the ahole?
I can watch your videos for hours without being bored keep the good work !
Thank you!! Appreciate it!
That WoW one took me by surprise. WoW fan base isn't the easiest to get to come together.
i think its time for you to play soma
I've heard it's good!! Definitely need to :D
Secret Of Mana's "Now Flightless Wings" (post credit scene music) makes me teary eyed every time I hear it. Video game music can be incredibly impactful.
So you could say the Earlybird... Got the ear worm.
One thing I appreciate with Frostpunk is that the sound effects usually meshes very well with the music, where I kind of miss a few KATHUNKs from the generator or whatever makes that sound.
Excellent choices, even those I wasn't familiar with.
Always a good day when Earlybird posts!
My favorite soundtrack and ost was dewprism from the game threads of fate. It is one of my childhood games from ps1. I replayed it again in my teens and at that time got amazed of it's music. My most favourite was the bg music on where you are having a some talk with father you saved in the woods. That music really clears my mind and calms me down like when you are a kid, innocent and unknowing of the problems in the world. Now, me, a father, still listen to it whenever i reach to the point of breaking down and even just relaxing by myself. Games really are wonderfull experience in the past and I'm glad i was born at that time.
this video gave me some big game feels, too. really well done!!! music is such an important part of games and their impact. It feels like lots of modern games try to go for much safer, blander music that may be impactful in the moment, but doesn't stay with you. These tracks all definitely seemed to have lasting impact to me - even though I haven't heard most of them.
Phatasy Star Online 2 has some of the best boss music / music I ever heard and it fits the boss fights so well, pure adrenaline will pump through you
I'm still trying to figure out WHY. But i find your voice soothing lol. Your videos make great company for my home office mornings. Keep it up! You're doing great!
Thanks for the encouragement I appreciate it!
Oh, hello Anatomy!
Anyway, I really feel you on the Outer Wilds front. I was weeping at the end of that game. That said, I feel I should give a special shout out to the DLC, Echoes of the Eye. Granted, a lot of the feelings I experienced over the DLC were due to the impact the main game had in me, but MAN the story in the DLC gets me
Particular tracks that get me, along with the scenes they correlate to, are:
- Echoes of the Eye
- Departure
- Travellers’ Encore
I feel I should emphasise the last one since I would listen to Travellers a lot while working on school coursework, so when they made an altered version of it for the DLC, you better believe I was in shambles
Woohoo Anatomy! 🌟
Outer Wilds is so amazing and gives such unique feels, hard to think of another game that even really comes close
All I have to saw is "Answers" - Final Fantasy 14
I adore Cyberpunk. Loved it since Launch and it only got better. But the moment where Lizzy sings on stage had me just awestruck. A goosebumps moment I did not expect. I think I rewatched it in my Megatower Apartment countless times, itts just magical.
Haha I’m in the same boat, I’m so happy they let you rewatch it it’s so neat!! 😁
Yay another Earlybird. Just thought about when the next upload will be the other day. 👍
The first time hearing Inner Demon in Batman: Arkham Knight and Dusk Horizon in Unreal after leaving the crashed prison ship were my most memorable music times.
"Elemental Stars" from Golden Sun gives me chills every time.
I’m gonna have to check this out!
All the musics are soo gooooood!!! Love these games and their use of songs!
Ohgod the Basement. It *IS* dark.
where are youuuuu
I always thought the modular music in games like rdr and banjo kazooie that changed depending on what you were doin is pretty neat
So, no pixel games or anything older than Silent Hill?
Ehh....
I had plenty I wanted to include but I had to avoid a lot of them due to issues with copyright haha. Also didn’t want to make it a super long video but there are dozens of other great ones 😁
@@early-tv oh, copyright infringment? God damn you, Ninetndo XDD
Also, if there're dozens can we expect part II of this one?
ALSO also, what do you think about Resident Evil (the original trilogy)? It had great tunes, like the boss theme (RE2) and the save room ones (RE2 & RE3), that makes the moments you hear 'em very emotional^^)
RE games have great soundtracks!! The save room songs are fantastic 😁
Guy makes videos for people who can't tie their shoes and cry when they hear loud noises.
I wish I could tie my shoes someday I’ll learn 😩
@@early-tv And tries desperately to be funny.
Strange how none of your videos are recommended to me even though I watched most of them. I have to go to my subscriptions for that. Oh well, a minor inconvenience I guess
The RUclips algorithm works in mysterious ways haha.
Thanks so much for watchin I appreciate it!!
@@early-tv btw, are you in any way related to the Proper Bird YT channel?
Proper Bird stopped uploading around the same time your horse vid was published. The timing would be right.
Also your voice and hers are very similar and the video topics overlap a good bit.
What a strange world we live in....
Nope not familiar.
Sounds like quite the coincidence though haha
