This comment was here for seven years and no one has ever replied to it. What are the odds. This lonely expression of humanty in the never ending stream of noise and clutter. Somehow left uncorrupted by the hollow cynics who deal only in irony and meaningless jest. Like a rose that grows in a graveyard amongst colorful flowers of plastic. One should not dare to pluck it... BUT WOMBLE IS A F****T!

this was the one part in this game that really hit home with me, the pure happiness of Elizbeth running around the Boardwalk, then you realize that the song is there for a reason, because they created a time rift and were stealing songs from other dimensions, it really tied it all together and I was blown away. This was one of those moments that solidified this game as one of my favorites of all time.

​@@pauloricardo-wn6psthe ending was perfect imo, but I think the dlc actually ruined it 😅

[@highwaytohellhun]

Of course, this song plays when Elizabeth is having fun on the beach, but actually that's what makes it really sad. I mean, after you played through the game once and then heard this cover of the song again you'll get super sad because you know her happiness is just temporary. Because after that she'll have to go through terrible, terrible things. This song reminds me of Elizabeth basically being a victim. She was truly good-hearted, but the evil reality destroyed her. And then there come the two DLCs, where in the end she dies as a hero. It's just really really sad.

[@travishimebaugh8381]

Well lutece was working on rudimentary tear technology before she made the city fly, maybe she saw herself finishing up a quantum stabiliser in the future and got the idea from that

[@ShutterSnapped]

Something about the Bioshock series that just feels, in a weird way, academic. I guess what I mean is when you see books in the science fiction genre you have a plethora of seminal artists who's work as become "classic literature". If a type of genre were to exist for gaming, especially retroactively looking back, then Bioshock 1 and Infinite would definitely be the classic literature of gaming. EDIT: Absolutely should mention Ken Levine. If anything because he would be the Writer to go with my analogy and is the driving force, in my opinion, of the System Shock and Bioshock titles.

[@connorjames1760]

+Pareidolia The game completely changed my outlook on life, and leaves room for the mind to wander. Extremely well-done series.

[@masterofthecontinuum]

+Pareidolia Bioshock 1 is a shining example of video games as a medium. it is a story that could only be truly told through a game.

[@konstantinivanov7475]

i tip my fedorer

[@gaiusjuliuscaesar9296]

Oh that was absolutely the intention. In a series of interviews they did for Bioshock: The Collection Ken Levine said that the games did have some weighty "academic" themes but they were trying to make it appeal to a more general audience. I think they found the sweet spot between deep philosophical stuff and a fun and engaging story.

[@Alex-cw3rz]

Well you are correct in terms of being more academic Bioshock 1 is a critique of Objectivism, the Bioshock 2 Ken Levine didn't write on so it's critique is exceptionally muddled and in the 3rd it's an exploration of racism and the start of American exceptionalism. All three explore player choice, with the first two were you decide your fate and the third commenting on the fact that even deciding your fate in video games is completely curated you bascially have no options and little free will.

[@eduardoramos-wm6ju]

exaacto =P

[@meghanmallon4892]

i always feel like crying when listening to this.

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

Is it hard to believe that the same man who would sell his daughter, is the same man who would use everything in his power to keep her from being taken?

[@steppin-razor]

Omg I am replaying this and got to the boardwalk and heard this playing as she is running around all happy. And I'm like "wait I know this song " was SO surprised when I realized what it was. Missed it on my first playthrough and it gave me feels. And I just found out if you walk up to the bucket of rocks on the shore she goes "watch this " and starts throwing them in the water, skipping them. It was adorable .

[@patrickagokei]

Bruh same, Just started playing this game and I sensed that I had heard this tune somewhere

[@misakikuran9027]

I like how in the game the people only want the instrumental, bc women didn’t have rights back then and the song is literally about Girl’s wanting to live their life and having fun

[@justinharvey7398]

This game just keeps getting better and better with every minute detail I discover!! That's an amazing attention to detail on yours and the developers part!

[@xxLegitIronIngotxx]

Everyone finds this song happy, soooooo... Is it weird that I find it depressing as fuck?

[@austininjaman]

nah i get that too.

[@BLHz8blah1]

Naw reminds me of the death of a good company. Bittersweet.

[@henrymaximilianotassistroh3325]

me too, weird uh

[@emberfan1]

Something's weirdly dark about it. Not just this version either. Even the original is sort of haunting to me.

[@AdmireRoxtars]

Sad clown music

[@werewolfjones3178]

I remember when I heard this tune, mainly because I love all the automated organ-grinder styled music instruments. I sat there for three minutes trying to recall what tune this was, and when it hit me, I couldn't help but sit and listen for another five minutes.

[@bobfathaeker4303]

Had the strangest moment on this part of the game. I was fully immersed in the level. Taking my time looking at all the little details. Getting invested at her joy with the world. But something was off. Something tugging at my brain - pulling me out of the moment. Kind of unsettling like when you realise you're dreaming just before you wake up. It was this song! My brain had recognised it before I'd realised. It's nostalgia from the tune but re-contextualised. Created a dissonance that really freaked me out. It's not just a little joke. It really fits with the themes of the game.

[@FGEMfilms]

is it odd that the versions in bioshock sound better than the real songs? :D

[@Fraggr92]

Not at all. Covers and re-enterpretations can definitely be better than the original which they are based on

[@bellgrand]

This one definitely does. It's as great as the Fortunate Son cover was awful. It is especially poignant because it plays at a moment when Elizabeth is reveling in her newfound freedom.

[@cocogoat1111]

I feel the same way!

[@Goldsthar]

Not ''odd'', being a fanboy is pretty normal don't worry.

[@GeorgeUnitt]

mhswlee I love that Fortunate Son cover!

[@Henrique-ff5hp]

Love seeing the comments. It's a shared experience. Games are really cool

[@jayedgar1384]

Ive played this game so many times and never noticed that they are modern songs

[@SidNightWalker]

BTW, best carnival music EVER!!!!!

[@trainguy111]

Yeah. I can picture a carousel when hearing this.

[@flightdub6056]

The saddest thing is that this was probably the only time in her life that Elizabeth got to have fun and feel like a normal girl

[@djmindcrasher]

It didn't even feel weird hearing it the first time in the game. I love Bioshock and I love this song, somehow it all fitted.

[@lorrainedove1152]

I remember walking around battleship bay hearing this and thinking that the developers made a huge mistake when putting this into the game as this song was realised many many years after 1912 but then I found out about the whole Albert Finks brother looking into tears around the city hearing music and performing them In Colombia as his own such as God only knows and of cause this

[@Ixistant]

The cover of "God Only Knows" didn;t give you hints that they had time period incongruent music?

[@lorrainedove1152]

At the time of playing the game I had never heard God Only Knows and I had no idea in what time period it was created.

[@guiltyguildleader]

There are a lot of anachronisms in the game. The technology that presumably keeps Columbia aloft wasnt discovered until 1911.

[@davidvasey5065]

Lol he's clearly been playing the game for a while dew to the fact he's so nostalgic so I see no reason to tell this to him as he probably already knows it.

[@MIsterSojaBohne]

This Game will stay in my Heart forever. The Scene on the Beach with this Song was mesmerizing

[@kori1218]

Im replaying the game now and just realized what this was

[@Sent4i]

one of my favorite games forever, the emotions it causes me are unique

[@tictactimmy]

I love how this is just casually thrown in the game.

[@claudiocarbone2225]

This version of the song hits deep i loved this game

[@vagabounder3463]

The game was sadder than i imagined

[@bobbysavre]

I've played this game countless of time over multiple platforms... and just realized this was the song... So good, lol.

[@user-td4kr1ut3b]

This game is pure perfection

Completed game two weeks ago, and I still come here once a few days to feel sad

[@lautaroreyluna8666]

Benditos los que juegan este juego por primera vez y descubren este hermoso tema escondido en varias partes del mismo. Lo que daría por volver a sentir como nuevas todas las cosas que me pasaron jugando este juegazo.

[@mati155ful]

Battleship Bay is by far my favorite place in Columbia

[@pendodongo9140]

This song make me feel scared. Because the thinking of "this song should not be here in this decade, not this age" gets me everytime that i listen to this song.

[@Darkstar263]

A perfect song choice that fits Elizabeth really well after she escapes from her tower. Especially this line in the song. "Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world."

[@dat1canadianguy277]

When you use this song in ur history project but no one notices what it actually is.

[@fabiancerda2472]

Callum McIntosh really!? what was the project about though?

[@dat1canadianguy277]

It was fair music for a project about the Canada's tallest man.

[@glitch373]

Callum McIntosh do girls find tall men particularly fun?

[@juanma9944]

All the other kids Whit the pumped up kicks....

[@megamike15]

they knew what they were doing when this song plays just after she got out the tower.

[@DanielNYR]

When this hit you while playing through

[@toeast8212]

One of the happiest scenes in this game but it’s so dark almost every other time.

[@GuukanKitsune]

This was a holy shit moment for me, walking past the calliope at Battleship Bay. I knew what year it was in-game, and I was a 90s kid, so this song was still all over the radio when I was a kid. I heard this song, and it legitimately made me stop and say... 'what the f**k, is that...?' and listen to confirm. And it was the first tipoff to me that there was some crazy stuff going on in Columbia. I missed 'God Only Knows' by the Beach Boys at the beginning simply because they were before my time, but 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' did NOT escape my notice.

[@strawberrypimp6666]

everything about this game just brings a smile to my face :)

[@Darkstar263]

This part of the game is probably the only bit of happiness that Elizabeth receives. Experiencing freedom for the first time in her life.
