7 Times Music in Games Blew Our Minds

[@outsidextra]

We all love music here at OX towers, but some video game music is just so epic, cool, heart-wrenching or beautiful in its simplicity, that they really struck a...*chord* with us... ahem... Here, then, are those musical moments that make us stop and go "whoa..." whenever we hear them. 🎵🎶

Jane really nailed describing music with visuals that have feeling. I often see visuals when I listen to music, so this calm ocean with deep and ancient life, meanwhile running from behind the horizon with crazed eyes and high energy comes this punk, metal, spikes wearing guitarist to ADD to the splendor of that ocean in their own unique way. Just outstanding! Thank you Jane!

The theme from Dragon Age: Origins is an amazing piece. Start off with beautiful elven(?) vocals, interrupted by the brass and drums of a darkspawn horde. The Grey Wardens arrive, pushing back the horde, but at the end of the song the threat still looms. Dragon Age: Inquistion also did a great job with "The Dawn Will Come."

My favorite music moment is in the opening mission of mass effect 3, when Shepard is fleeing from Earth as the reapers destroy it.

Just makes you really feel the hopelessness and loss that comes with that whole game (the song is called "leaving earth")

I want to see a breakdown of the contrasting feels of music in Portal and Portal 2 Portal very much gave that cold, clinical vibe, and so so lonely Portal 2 felt more "alive" almost. More dynamic?

Seriously how is 'Leaving Earth' not on this list. When the music begins, Shepherd (and therefore the player) is leaving the planet of their birth in the throws of its destruction. it is hard to imagine a dry eye after experiencing that. Hopefully most people will never know the heart break of living though the destruction of their home through war or disaster, but this piece of music will make sure you have a pretty good idea what it feels like.

Streets of Whiterun- Skyrim. Music does a lot to me, and I frequently use it to put myself in a certain headspace. But nothing, _nothing_ sounds better to me than the Streets of Whiterun. I was that kid who would put on random video games to just sit in a zone and listen to the music (before the age of youtube), and I found myself doing that in Whiterun again. I just turned Skyrim on, intent on playing some, loaded into Whiterun and then... managed to do what I was putting off, with Whiterun's theme in the background. It's the sound of your family greeting you after a long day working. It's the sound of your partner there on the couch, next to you in front of the fire. It's the sound of a morning when you wake naturally, sunbeams floating without a care in through your windows. It's the sound of a warm hearth in the cold winter. It's the sound of safety, peace and *home.* It's the sound of the most important thing in the world, and what you'll go to the ends of Nirn, and beyond, to protect.

The biggest musical moment for me in gaming was the "leaving earth" scene at the start of Mass Effect 3. You've had two full games and countless hours leading up to this exact moment, and theres this beautiful piano peice playing as you get into the shuttle that manages to be equal parts hopeful and bleak. Then this Reaper comes in and gives off this juxtaposing mechanical sound in time with the music as the tension rises, that stops and goes back to piano as the shuttles explode and everyone is dying. Then you rise up and see multiple reapers decending upon Earth as the music swells, and it's this feeling of "this is the end" in so many different ways, and it's just such a magical moment. I genuinely burst into tears on my first play through.

Fleeting Dream from Final Fantasy X always has such a big big place in my heart. It's one of those pieces of music that plays as great ambience alone, but in the context of when it is used in the game it just kicks in your chest but marches you forward, making it really fitting for what the characters are going through - and you alongside them.
