40 Baldur's Gate 3 Original Soundtrack - I Want To Live (Classical version)

[@jozabean]

FOUND IT. I FOUND THE SONG. This song has been an obsession for me. Somehow it captures so many different feelings perfectly. Sadness, joy, adventure, looming omen. It feels like the night before a battle as stories are told amongst friends that might not live to camp the next day. This song is an obsession for me now.

[@NephilimLdS]

Dear Borislav, my mom died yesterday after 10 years of ALS desease. Despite the excruciating suffering and the fact that she couldn't move or talk anymore, her eyes screamed "I want to live" until the very end. I've been in love with this incredible, beautiful song of yours since the first moment I've heard it in Baldur's Gate 3, a game that has been deeply important to me, that gave me courage and moments of distraction in a very though time of my life. And, from now on, this song will always make me think of my mother. It already made me feel terribly emotional before all of this... This game, which I could call a real masterpiece, was a gift, and this song in particular is a gift to soothe my heart in this very moment. Thank you. I cannot express clearly enough how much I love it.

[@borislav_slavov]

Thank you for sharing this with me. Your story touched me deeply. Your mom will live in your heart and thoughts, friend.❤‍🩹

@@borislav_slavov thank you, really 🫂

[@CraigArgyleAudio]

I look forward to every masterpiece you have crafted for this game. My Wife and I had the menu theme for Divinity Original Sin 2 playing at our wedding, and your work continues to inspire me in my own compositions. Thank you.

[@dantederi5062]

That's so cool man, congrats

[@HugoAlmeida-dx8sx]

I picked Baldurs Gate 3 to play just because I heard this song when Neil Newbon won the best performer with Astarion. Amazing music, beautiful, thank you. I can say now I found a song as touching as the score of Braveheart's freedom scene.

After finishing the game last night and listening to this the morning after...it feels like I woke up in a quiet country home well after my adventures, reflecting on the incredible journey I went on with my companions. What a beautiful piece to a once-in-a-lifetime game.

[@tylernorman7896]

This one, hearing this version in the Grove for the first time... I truly felt... safe from everything, and it's such a wonderful looking place!

[@Whisperflame]

Yes! I was hoping this version would be made available when I first heard it in the release teaser. Borislav, thank you for composing this and so many other breathtaking pieces!

[@rsauce6343]

I want to live is such a perfect title. A song about hope, fear, sadness, love, joy and adventure. I feel so many emotions hearing this

[@onyx7633]

[@lynx7283]

Its been 1 year of this game and this song feels already nostalgic. I get happy everytime i hear it❤

[@rustyshackle8000]

I was actually confused when this played during Karlach's ending. I thought my game had glitched. Then I realized that this is Karlach's theme. Even the name relates to her. "I want to live."

[@darthpiper]

Well done Borislav. It's the main "theme" of the game. Every creature wants to live a bit more to... To live. Doesn't matter if you are a vampire, a barbarian with a heart of a ticking bomb, an illithid, a mage, a child living in the middle of a war, a freak amongst regulars, we want to live. Live and let live.

[@wrangarXXXX]

Let's fucking gooooooooo. Two decades waiting for a follow up to number 2 and it's finally here, crafted by the master crafter's of story-telling and a master crafter of musical compositions. I've been hard-bingeing the entire soundtrack in the lead-up to this moment, accompanied by the beyond-mystical OST of Original Sin 2. Borislav, thank you so much for what you do!

[@josijusts]

"I want to live - classic version" is a masterpiece. Beautiful and pleasant melody! The composer has achieved something unthinkable: the quality of the music in "Divinity Original Sin 2"! I often listen to it in my studies and to relax.

The classical version of 'I want to live' is absolutely beautiful. Truly wonderful. Best composition I've heard in a long, long time.

[@artstudent1255]

Absolutely beautiful music through out. But this one is my favorite. The music in this game is one of the big things that turns it from a video game to art. To a genuine experience and memory.

this in the background when Gale was telling me his dramatic story, story yet so common for human beings.. precious moment. heartbreaking

[@chrisupper613]

Everybody was kneeling out of respect.

[@Aodhan567]

Listening to this music as I was levelling up my characters, just adds a haunting layer to the experience, especially when you're grappling with the near-inevitable demise of Karlach. Her mechanical heart failing her is tragic enough, but knowing that my own choices in the game has impacted her salvation impossible adds a weight of regret and sadness. This tune hits differently when you know you've closed doors that could have saved a life. Seeing this soundtrack title just adds a nice touch to it as well, especially for Karlach's ambition and willingness to keep living on.

[@micmic2575]

Karlach was dealt a bad hand. Spoilers below. No ending with her seems to satisfy no matter how desperately you try to save her. No amount of infernal iron, enriched infernal iron, quests, or rapport will stop that heart from doing her in without going to hell.

[@fabiosavi2866]

actually u can (care spoiler below) u can ask her to go to avernus with u idk if u absolutely need to be in a relationship with her for it but if u go with her a cinematic shows u and her going in a battle against devils pretty cool

[@GaranNoDou298]

@@fabiosavi2866 You can do it without romancing her. I romanced Wyll and he pretty much just begged her to tag along.

[@Sleepingdruid37]

Awesome - I've been looking for this version. It's the one that plays about 4 songs into the credits music. At parts like 0:11 and 0:36 it seems like a pan flute comes in for the part that is usually just guitar. I love it. Actually reminds me a little bit of Pillars of Eternity soundtrack.

[@anabenskywalker122]

I don’t know if my game bugged or what but (spoilers for Astarion’s companion questline ahead) this played after he obliterated Cazador and broke down. He was just sitting there crying, and this started playing. It just hit so hard. He finally had his life back, and what a perfect track for that. I went back to watch the scene on KZbin and it didn’t play in their scene? I was wondering if I was crazy and just heard it in my head, but I definitely heard it in the scene. I’m wondering if my game bugged or if it’s because of a recent patch, but I’m glad it happened either way. It added so much to an already powerful scene

[@knitwit1912]

Late reply, but the same thing happened with my playthrough a couple weeks ago! It's so heart wrenching I hope it was an update/choice combination, not a random bug 😆. I can't remember if the videos I've seen without it are recent/romanced Astarion so I can't be sure what caused it, though.
