Baldur's Gate 3 OST - "Wash My Pain Away"

[@Stargazer01011]

"When you wake, it will be back at our camp, back in our small, dirty, bloody patch of existence. But stay with me now. There are endless worlds out there. Countless ways to declare love. Infinite ways to express it. Too much for one night..."

[@Chiaeryn]

Best romance cutscene of the game.

[@cuteslytherin]

[@singhdinisreal]

This OST hits even harder after Gale's romance cutscene in act 2 That cutscene was a masterpiece and so well-written. it touched my heart.

[@Yahlokis]

That scene is precisely why I’m here. This track does a really good job driving home the feeling that he’s just trying to capture what little happiness he can before he can’t anymore. Then there’s a little shift in the tone of the song, as he realizes that he still has something to live for. 🥺

[@ximecreature]

Came here for this moment. The alchemy of such a poetic moment and this song was just incredible. I've never shivered like this in front of a game. I'm so glad to finally find it !

[@Chiaeryn]

It's just perfect, it's not only a romance scene but it's where Gale finally understands that he doesn't want to die, he has something to live for. Probably one of the best written scene of the game.

[@Si1verwing713]

I got to that cutscene last night and I genuinely want to cry about it, it's so beautiful and this score is a huge part of it. However this seems to be a different segment of the score, it's missing the flute

It cant be easy devoting yourself to a purpose only to reflect if anything of it mattered. You are enough. 😭

[@AuthorSallyBritton]

This one just makes me want to weep every time I listen to it. Gale is my favorite character. So well written. I love him, I love how this music captures the essence of him.

[@BeatriceGatta]

everyone else commenting about their companion romancing scene, and here i am, crying like an idiot because my dog just died a few days before i started playing this game, and this music just showed up at random when i was sorting my inventory at camp. It started playing because i was taking so long, i didn't want to leave camp because scratch strolling around my tav, wagging his tail, made me feel a little less lonely, and i didn't really have the mental energy to engage with the quests properly... every time i hear this music i just think of my dog. he was the best boy, like a slightly longer-haired, floppy-eared scratch. I missi him so much.

[@alethegamer96]

I pray we all have our own "Scratch" in our lives, even though they never last long enough.

[@XRyuhayabusaX]

Hey, I know its been 2 months but I just saw your comment. Hope you're doing fine and all the pain has started to wash away by the beautiful memories of your buddy. He surely would want you to live your best life. So go out there. Live. Love. Find happiness in eveything you do. And always remember that those who aren't with us anymore would be more than happy to see >you< happy. Carry on!

[@danidekariosrutherford]

This song is unforgettable to me, just like my Gale.

[@PurpleLink95]

The first time I paid attention to this song was when Astarion confessed his feelings for me. When he told me I am incredible and that I deserve something real, followed up by "I want us to be something real", I started to cry. Never in my life have I felt the same way about a character's confession. Combined with this beautiful song, his words sounded so sincere, so tender and fragile, he voluntarily showed me his vulnerable side, and if you know his backstory, it really hits hard. Everytime I listen to this song, I remember him and how much love he needs (which of course, I am more than happy to provide to him!!). Hell, even the title "Wash My Pain Away" says everything... He opened up to me, hoping that, even if I can't erase his horrible past, perhaps I can give him a better present, and make all his pain go away by giving him support and unconditional love. I love him so much and this song is the living proof of it.

[@Enzevil]

The Bard was always in the game, just not playable yet. Another masterpiece, thank you Boris!

[@mastershredder2002]

you spoony bard!

[@estervitoria9758]

I've seen Gale's astral romance scene a couple of times and used to think it was weirdly funny until my Tav experienced it. Gale describing his life in Waterdeep while this song played in the background was bittersweet and emotional (you can see how he misses his home)… And when their souls bonded (as Halsin would say) I was so overwhelmed already that I legit felt like crying lmao my eyes were wet for real. The whole scene was just too much, so I was speechless when it ended. Larian did an amazing job with this one.

[@existentialgamer9206]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt sadness as the dominant emotion when playing that Gale romance scene. This yearning, tragic sadness. He shows you his home in Waterdeep because not only does he long for it, but he wants you to live with him. He thinks he has no future at that point so it’s a wish for him he thinks will never come true. He’s really a very simple and loving man despite his insecure ambitions; all he wants is his home, his books, his hearth and you. And people criticize the astral love scene as being too Mystra-y but I saw it more as, he thinks he’s going to die, and he wants to be as intimate as possible with you before he does, body and mind. Seeing his tower and lovely balcony makes me mist up for sure. My first thought upon seeing it was “dear god please let our ending be us living here happily in peace”

[@donuthole333]

The best thing about having a new patch is getting new music from you! It's perfect as always and conveys the emotions of someone knowing they may die any minute, yet they must still hold onto life. This game wouldn't be the masterpiece it's turning into without your work! Thank you a thousand times!
