On April 4, they hospitalized my sister for acute kidney failure.

That literally sounds like a setup for a silent hill character. It’s probably why it resonates with you so well. Peace within darkness, I hope you overcome your conflict and that your sister fully recovered or at least went peacefully. I lost my younger brother at only four days old. The question that always haunts my mind has been is it better to have known someone and lost them or wonder what they would’ve been for the rest of your life. Reach out if you need the help it’s there.

[@feliciafromshrek1562]

@@shanelogan630 I think losing someone without knowing them is always a less painful method. Because all the things you've experienced and memories don't haunt you. When we arrived at the hospital with my father, they had already admitted my sister. We couldn't catch up with the speed of the ambulance anyway. I remember very well, when I stayed as a companion in her room, I pulled my companion bed next to my sister's bed and fell asleep holding her hand. I remember fighting with all my might not to let her hear me cry while holding her hand when I learned on that same day that if her kidneys didn't recover, she could only live for 10 more years. When her kidneys started working at 7% with dialysis, we had a crazy celebration. Does anyone rejoice because their sibling's kidney is functioning at 7%? I did. My joy turned into a lump in my throat when doctors mentioned the possibility that the improvement might be due to dialysis, meaning her kidneys might still not be working. Thank God she survived. Now she is perfectly fine. Both of her kidneys are working perfectly. Thank you for your words and good wishes. I'm really sorry for your loss. As I said, losing someone without knowing them is, in my opinion, better than having their memories become a torment. Perhaps more selfish, but at least the memories don't turn into a nightmare

Silent Hill will forever have a special place in my heart.. My dad was playing it with me since I was lil, I only remember stuff from when I was 5-6 yo.. I know it’s not the best game for a child, but I was more curious than scared at that time. Played it myself at 11, got all the endings (even the alien ones), the soundtracks made me feel so safe and like someone was giving me a warm hug. I didn’t see my dad much after 15, and now I live on a different continent at 21, but those memories of when we played it together will never disappear... I’m thankful that he introduced me to this franchise, it’s so special to me, I can’t explain in words. If there ever was a chance to visit Silent Hill I would definitely go... In my restless dreams, I see that town...

[@cute_polly]

Apologize for this rant if it gets noticed... Whenever there’s a video with SH songs I just get emotional and write write write haha.

[@nightcore-ql1gq]

I have a similar story, I was about 4 - 5 when I was watching my dad playing silent hill 3. I remember once when I was about the same age. My dad was playing in the lounge room and me and my other siblings were there too. Whenever I heard the monsters or if something creepy came on that’s what I imagined back then but I would always hide my face in the pillows. Lol I was about 8 when I played the very first silent hill that ever came out. And I was 12 when I first played silent hill 3. And now I’ve completed nearly all endings for silent hill 2, 3, and nearly 4. I unfortunately couldn’t able to play the first silent hill because we sold our ps1 for the ps2 so we couldn’t play it on the ps2 which is sad. But I do agree with you. Some of the music soundtracks from silent hill 2, drawn me in by how relaxing and melody it sounded, like If the angles were speaking to me comforting me, healing me from my past trauma. Forever silent hill will forever be in my heart. It didn’t make sense when I was younger. But when I matured and learnt a lot about the games story and the characters. It was like I could relate to them in someway but not entirely. Watching them trying to battle their hallucinations, dreams, being a bad person, trying to runaway from trauma, reliving your past experiences, eating disorders, addictions, guilt, unhealthy habits, ect. But this game has made me into a bigger person. And I get so happy when people bring up silent hill in whatever conversation. It makes me think that I’m not the only one who was going through some kind of nightmare in the past as a child. Thank you silent hill…….. ❤

After, I always check the comments and notice how much of a pillar this song is to many. One to lean against, droop for a moment and temporarily loosen up the tension of an unwanted day, week, month or year. I come by now to say that it is pleasant to read through these comments knowing that there are so many of us feeling a variety of ways. Mostly melancholic, honest and true. I say thank you to all for keeping Silent Hill alive.

I always use these songs to help me write my poetry. So i wanted to share one. I'm not sure if it will ever be seen, but it's ok if it isn't. Take me away, past the burning sands, past the storms, past the crashing waves. Pull me to the calm depths, the peaceful silence, and the calm dim light. Looking up from oblivion as the cool water claims all. It was never enough to matter but always enough to keep me chasing. I pursued as far as I could and shed my final tears on nostalgia. I wanted to cast off only what I hate, but what I love must be cast away as well. All the stars erased with the sky. All the beauty became a fog before dissolving to black, and I couldn't make myself care to bring them to focus. It was never good enough to fill my cup, though never so little I should thirst. I drank myself on mediocrity and drowned in the monochrome.

One of the greatest things about the OST of Silent Hill, and the whole game, is that it doesn't bullshit you about how life really is. There's a day-to-day life and then there's the Silent Hill life, the true face of what we're actually living. One where the true motivations and secrets of the world around us are hidden everywhere but life doesn't pretend to be cheerier than it actually is...but haunting, beautiful, terrifying and so shockingly sad. It's the opposite of nihilism.

Silent Hill 4 is still my favorite one. It marked me a lot because at the time I felt trapped inside my own house because of depression and other mental issues, and this game made me company for many drunk nights.

[@donovan7187]

I swear, Silent Hill soundtracks were created for the lost and lonely souls drifting aimlessly through the streets of Silent Hill shrouded in fog, or in other words life itself. Akira Yamaoka has created a refuge, a sanctuary for us sit down in silence, and think about what lies ahead. The road may be long, perilous and sorrowful, but we will come to see by the end that it is worth it. Some paths were worth checking out, and the lessons that we had to learn were necessary, we had to see the truth for what it is and accept it in order to carry onto our journey over what comes next. It may be scary and sad, we may be too broken up and tired to even carry on... but we will surpass it. Somehow, we will have the courage inside of us to face what burdens us, what we were running away from. We will survive this, as we have many times before. The town knows and understands who we are and the contents of our hearts. And it wants us to keep fighting and make it through, no matter what. It will give us all the time we need. It wants us to scour through its deep and dark corners until we find where it is we are really meant to go to. When no one else does, Silent Hill believes in us. I hope you make your way out this foggy town, stranger❤️

This comment is so underrated 😮 this could quite possibly be the actual summary of the game so much so that it reaches out and grabs you, even holds you there so it shows you how this game is in that rare grey area that borders the insanity of Manhunt but in a much more psychological level. To imagine horror is much worse than someone showing you it kinda thing…

[@GarryTheGluestick]

Hey, I was scrolling through the comments while listening to this and I came across yours... when you said "I haven't even played it", it reminded me of myself back at the beginning of this year. My friend, who's a big fan of Silent Hill, introduced me to the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack back at the beginning of the year, and I fell in love with tracks like Black Fairy, Forest, Restless Dreams, and especially this one, Day of Night. I was absolutely swept away by the music and stunned at how this was all part of the soundtrack of a horror game. I had never played a Silent Hill game before. About a month ago, I finally decided to take the dive and play Silent Hill 2 (the original, not the remake). I played the PC version with the Enhanced Edition mod. I just finished the game a few weeks ago, and I cannot stop thinking about it, I am absolutely obsessed with it now. When I come back and listen to these tracks again, they still feel dreamy and peaceful, but there is now also a profound sense of melancholy, tragedy, and sadness that pervades them. It adds even more depth to the music. If you haven't yet played Silent Hill 2, I strongly recommend that you give it a try, and I'm saying this as a newcomer to the franchise. Keep in mind that I have no nostalgic attachment or bias towards the game/franchise whatsoever, and yet I think that this game, released all the way back in 2001, is an absolute masterpiece of psychological horror, atmosphere, and deeply compelling and emotionally-gripping storytelling. And the fact that I'm only getting around to playing it 23 years after its release and making that kind of verdict about the game, is a true testament to its quality. I plan on playing the remake that released back in October and I'm very excited to give that version a try, but definitely play the original first if you can. I am very glad I went with playing the original first. If you have a half-decent PC, play the PC version of the original with the Enhanced Edition mod installed. It fixes tons of bugs and issues, adds tons of quality of life improvements, and just makes it such a solid experience overall. Arguably the best way to play the game on PC. Otherwise you could install the PS2 emulator, PCSX2, and play the PS2 version of the game (specifically the Greatest Hits version for the added content in that version). Don't touch the godforsaken HD Collection or whatever it's called, that thing is a travesty and a hate crime. lol. Sorry for the long-winded comment, I just thought I would share my experience with you as somebody who up until very recently, only listened to the music without having played the game. I can confirm that the game is well worth your time. Now when I come back and listen to the music, I'm constantly fighting back tears thinking about the story, and I have NEVER had a game affect me in such a strong way like that. It's so tragic and otherworldly beautiful.

[@M00nt3ars]

This music makes me completely disconnect from everything, it makes me feel a sensation that I can't explain, like familiar or nostalgic but distant at the same time unknown...

Like some people's comments, I had issues with mental health a few years ago. I remember playing the Silent Hill Franchise games in the past but never really thought deeply into the meaning of their themes and symbols. I played again, in my depression period, between the years 2015~2017, and I can say that I had a unique experience playing these games again. When I think about it, I feel that I really visited Silent Hill in those years and left there all the monstrosities and bad thoughts that inhabited my mind at that time. Now, after so many years, I only feel fondness for these games, which I believe helped many people through difficult times. Yamaoka-sensei and SH Team, thank you very much.

[@Marc_Tittmann]

This song makes me feel understood

[@Blackiris_]

I am in the middle of writing my dissertation and I always play Silent Hill music in the background. This track in particular though, seems to have always kept me aground. It seems to, ever so slightly, wash some of the pain and anxiety away. Like I am being baptized as an adult. In a way, I am glad that I even got to this point. This little document will be the crystallization of everything I have ever dreamed about, starting from my late teens. I'm an old man now. The thought scares me, I have put so much meaning in finishing this degree, and it may not really amount to anything at the end of it all. I may successfully finish, and find the experience wanting. Or I may not even make it to the end at all. I had intermittently played Silent Hill 2 during the course of my PhD, I didn't exactly have the time to be playing video games anymore. The atmosphere and the general sense of melancholy has always stuck with me though. Just a month or two ago I finally finished the game, ironically during the busiest phase of my studies so far. I was trying to get my papers published, but I somehow found pockets of time to play this game. It was an experience that I will always keep dearly. James's journey in the foggy town made me feel something, when I had mostly become apathetic to life after grinding for so long. If I ever make it to the end, Silent Hill will be a part of it.

When you pick up the key from the forest world, you need to go through the save portal, deposit the key in your chest. Then the foggy, loop world will be gone

[@nillynush4899]

SH4 has a TON of issues, but it had a really interesting take on both body and supernatural horror. The concept of the apartment and its various scares was also ahead of its time. A very flawed game, but a very creepy game too. Walter being a great villain on top of it.

[@Quanxi7]

The horror, themes and story are some of the best in the horror genre imo. However, SH4 failed in the gameplay department, and these issues are a lot worse and obvious during the second half. :/

[@SurvivalSpheres]

I feel the exact same. Somehow they made it that the environment felt alive outside, while you step by step uncovered its dark secrets. I've made a song to address this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXjOaamjq8uEitU
