Compilation of all the shifting mound movement songs

[@zanephair5684]

The shifting mound never scared me, but rather it did always make me feel welcome. She always spoke with softness and compassion. To the point that I almost missed her each time I’d reset. So many paths, and yet each one leads to her, the dark and cold surroundings contrasted by her warm and inviting demeanor. I love the Mound, yet can we truly be together? I represent tradition and procedure and she represents change and chaos. We are diametrically opposed, to coexist is to hurt one another, and yet though this is the case I can not condemn her. Though I existed before her, I feel that now to exist without her would be to exist without meaning. I the Long Quiet, made the Shifting Mound whole, and want to ensure she gains perspective enough that we may coexist.

[@funguy3259]

She just sounds like a good person in general to me tbh

[@robertspeedwagon982]

@funguy3259 The only time when she can sound like an arsehole is during the final confrontation when the LQ gets "violent" in their arguments, and so by definition the Shifting Mound reflects that by being insufferable/high up her own arse

[@isaacblack9455]

See, I think it's almost strange that I was never frightened by the mound, but always intrigued me. The track filled me like the reassurance of a friend forgotten by time, and the way she was always so truthful and open to you, and how willingly she put her life in your hands, how could I not feel close to this distant entity?

[@isaacblack9455]

One of my favorite phrases that was what really made me think twice about her was "You are all I have ever known" It hit harder than I like to admit

[@Noseface]

The shiftless mound is one of my favorite horrific entities in fiction. Her form and theme are simply harrowing, but her voice actress made her seem larger than life. What an amazingly beautiful and terrifying monster they concocted

[@zachrabaznaz7687]

Terrifying? I was never scared of her, not after the first meeting at least. She should beautiful... and I don't (just) mean the princess. Especially conceptually, she's nothing to fear.

[@Noseface]

@zachrabaznaz7687 Sure, eventually, you grow to sympathize with her over time, but I still think she's pretty terrifying even conceptually. Being in her presence would be an incredibly overwhelmingly harrowing experience. I get it though, everyone has different things that scare us. I find mooses to be majestic and beautiful creatures, but when you see one up close they are pretty scary.

[@funguy3259]

​@@zachrabaznaz7687 i know imma sound like a weirdo after saying this but she gives me motherly vibes in a way.

[@zachrabaznaz7687]

@@funguy3259 that's not weird that's definitely the point

[@TheLambdaTeam]

I agree, she does look weird and disproportionate, but with all her eldritch-ness, she's welcoming and caring at the very bottom. She can even love, which is a big thing. It is also implied that even her final form is just a pale imitation.

[@funguy3259]

Something finds me on the Internet and brings me the gift of a calming theme.

[@notnelly177]

This is brilliant

[@Neon_Dragon18]

This game in my perspective can be best described with the word "Inevitable". No matter what we do, it always feels like it will lead to the same result. Like trying to do something impossible but believing it can be done. Like how light is followed darkness, justice can't exist without crime, or especially life followed by death. This game really makes you wish some moments could last forever but you know what lies ahead, and therefore you march on to see the result, just like knowing this comment would eventually end. The end was bound to happen regardless of what actions took and this is what I believe to be the best word to describe this game, "Inevitable."

[@nikoladoctorov553]

This game is indeed a masterpiece...

[@blueberry8288]

Indeed

[@funguy3259]

Amen.

[@ijlayugan4149]

Her voice is hauntingly beautiful I LOVE it

[@Apperax]

Been using this for sleeping and mindfulness, you're a godsend. Song is so hauntingly beautiful.

[@NexusWarior211]

Grim thought of the day: You will never find someone that feels such longing for you the way the Shifting mound does for The Long Quiet.

[@crusaderpr7683]

dont so negative about someone out there can be your princess

[@Gaming.Gamer.]

Aww, don't be so harsh on yourself. For every Ying, there's a Yang, and for every dragon, there's a princess waiting for them. You fill find some love, you just need to have faith that even though it will need some time and effort, you will find the one true love of your life...

[@Clovericious]

"Never" is a very big word to throw around. I am guessing you are in your mid-twenties, so don't be too scared. Feeling like this is normal. Love and longing finds everyone sooner or later - the question is whether you will allow yourself to be open to it when your time comes.

[@Ashhley_the_shawty]

Thanks a bunch! Was hoping someone could put these together for easy listening, thx dude 😊

[@crusaderpr7683]

No problem man

I think I really loved her as well

[@Sjors_]

The shifting mound just casually grabbing onto the razor's many blades... Yeowch, that looks like it'd hurt.

[@PossessiveK]

This music is a haunting kind of soothing....

[@bluelfsuma]

Oh, holy shit, I don't normally have headphones on... didn't realize these songs have audio that shifts which angle it comes from.

[@singhasinghasingha]

Omg I love you so much!! TY for this video

[@TheLambdaTeam]

The Shifting Mound never scared me, but always gave me mixed and uneasy feelings. Even though she is not evil, her ways DO cause harm (to people, for instance, whom she deems unworthy) and she doesn't seem to care 'bout the consequences of her actions, sayin' that changes are necessary and must be done. The Long Quiet's motives are slightly more acceptable, even if they mean a stale universe at the end of the day. Sometimes it really feels that behind all the love she gives to us, all the endless cascade of smiles, she is pursuing her own agenda, and kinda _uses_ the Long Quiet for it. Exploits, even. Sure she might not be malevolent, but she indeed contains it within her multitudes. It's very hard to explain 😵‍💫

[@crusaderpr7683]

not really remember that she is death and death can be a achieve by a multitude of ways but in the end when everything is quiet you sleep the eternal sleep and is peaceful and that is her

[@TheLambdaTeam]

@@crusaderpr7683 I remember The Shifting Mound also contains death within herself. Can she reverse it though? I think she refers to destruction as "merely reshaping". Can she give life, if she can take it away?

[@Thisisthegreatestatofalltime]

@@TheLambdaTeam She does both yes. Reshaping the dead into new life and all that sorta stuff. Though I don’t think reversing is really her thing.

[@TheLambdaTeam]

@@Thisisthegreatestatofalltime AFAIK she cannot rewind or reverse, only change. She mentions "reshape" and "remold".

"Give me my waifu back" - Me, first time playing this game when the Shifting mound took away Happily Ever After

[@reubensalter8125]

Hey, if she gave her back, it would completely go against the whole theme of the route that things have to end. Plus she was happy when she was being taken - she accepted it

[@Thisisthegreatestatofalltime]

These tracks remind me of Bloodborne’s hub themes

[@wilhelm7450]

Does anyone know what kind of music genre is this called?

[@crusaderpr7683]

i would like to know too it sounds like opera but since is ambient is like the music you hear on siren songs that composers make

Siren asmr

[@blueberry8288]

So there's a different track played for each path?

[@felipdn3329]

No, you get these as you bring the vessels to the shifting mound. You'll hear these five tracks regardless of your paths as long as you reach the finale.

They are all called movements with a number starting from 1 to 5. Each fade-in is a different movement yeah they all sound the same but after 3 it starts to sound different

I love how you didn't even bother making the text a color other than white, which made it very difficult to actually read wherever it intersects with the white on the Princess's dress.

[@crusaderpr7683]

I m not sure what the indirect message you are trying to say but like you can see the letters in the fade in and fade out effects I don't do a lot of video editing

[@funguy3259]

Debatably it doesn't matter since when the screen fades black you can see it but yeah.
