Cataclysm Soundtrack - Elwynn Forest (Westfall)

[@RemedyTalon]

Reminds me of the first time I stepped into Westfall and realized just how grand this game was going to be. Those feels

[@jeffking6590]

I know what you mean.

[@lythronax4175]

me too bro

[@SkorMedia]

I remember my first time playing WoW. A level 70 dk friend of mine escorted myself and some other friends (we were on trial accounts) from Azuremyst to Outlands. We adventured for hours. It was unreal.

[@delf2731]

@@SkorMedia How? I thought you need to be lvl 58 to get to Outland.

[@SkorMedia]

@@delf2731 - Not sure if it has changed since then but back in Cata you could go out there at any level, although you would be in a world of hurt facing basically any NPC. My dk friend was quick on the draw and kept us safe as best he could but our group made several corpse runs

[@zipper785785]

I think it is better than the original, the chorus is so touching.

[@glanni]

Truth.

[@glanni]

I think the original is more of a background music lalala, but this is pure *front* music 😭😍

[@Orphan_of_Kos_or_some_say_Kosm]

@@glanni Yeah, that's why it's worse at being background music, which is what it's supposed to be.

[@writershard5065]

@@Orphan_of_Kos_or_some_say_Kosm Ehh kinda, I don't think there's an exact "back/front" music. I think it falls somewhere in the middle. It does do a good job as ambient music. It isn't distracting, and it helps amplify the feel of the zone. I think it does a fine job.

[@38Camando]

I remember the day I first laid eyes upon the forest for the first time, it felt like the farron woods in Zelda only bigger!

[@VDVit_2013]

1:13 really pulls the heart strings.

[@Thyralon]

Elwynn Forest... feels like home. Everytime i hear the theme i remember my first character back in vanilla. Talking to strangers trading linen cloth and some few silver for 8 slot bags. A fresh community was growing, friends were found and later they became guildmembers. Those were the days. *sniff*

[@andrewvatavu2155]

This is how wow classic is now....i promise. I was impressed to tears that it was the same as 15 yrs ago. Strangers buffing, trading linen cloth, having drinks in goldshire, questing and fishing together.

[@Nyrella]

yes it fells like home, this music

[@mossysnail6857]

I miss you mom... More than anything. I wish i knew what to do now.

[@nikola4986]

My prayers go to you!

[@IrishZimz]

This song has so much emotion in it.

[@phoebe1696]

4:02 Onward is my favorite

[@magitor7401]

i remember waking up earlier every day before school to level up my mage while on trial account!the weather was cold hence the room as well!I remember the white dull winter light coming in from my window as i was playing on my laptop!such good memories! :')

[@jibb1es]

dude i remember doing the same

[@RemedyTalon]

+savvas xatzivasileiou You nailed it !

[@34bully]

lol i've done it too

[@TheDankSavage]

Oh god, the nostalgia is so heavy.

[@protestmyhero5613]

A beautiful crescendo of happiness, yet only found and fathomed after great and deep sorrow. This song is nature, in its purest and most bewitching form. This is more than just a soundtrack to a game. It's an orchestral masterpiece which will always hold a place in my heart.

[@Veslanjejezivot]

Beautifully put ❤

[@astonandersson5867]

I love this remake, they stayed true to the original while adding new, more emotional parts to it. It makes you nostalgic even though this version of the song only came in Cataclysm.

[@tobydavenport8070]

That small nucleus of Elwynn Forest, Westfall, Redridge, and Duskwood is the best levelling experience in the game, and the music matches it beautifully.

[@azac122]

Thank you Blizzard..

[@BafflingBlake]

Makes me think of the fall/decline of humanity. Most of Stormwind wiped out, most of Lordaeron wiped out, Alterac fell into ruin, Stromgarde fell into ruin, Dalaran wiped out, but rebuilt to leave the Alliance, most remaining human settlements in Lordaeron wiped out in Cataclysm, Gilneas has all but fallen in Cataclysm, Theramore and remaining human settlements on Kalimdor wiped out in Mists. Stormwind is all that stands and the kingdom can barely even hold itself together.

[@BeanMan157]

Now we have the Arathi

[@auchenai123]

0:45 makes me fly in memories

[@SaraphimSoldier]

There's so much depth in this song. It contrasts the conflict between the rugged nature of elwynn forest, the wild life, the natural inhabitants (like the kobolds) and whatnot, versus the human civilization that has settled there. When you hear the flute, you imagine the nature and mystery, and when you hear the more orchestral part come in, you think of human expansion and kings and queens. These two forces are constantly at war in elwynn and this piece captured it perfectly.

[@Ganijespree]

Damn, i played this game for so long now i stopped and this music makes me cry.. such good memory's

[@GPVlog]

I cant play this game anymore but I did put a good 6 years into it. The music is the only thing I can enjoy now. They actually did a really good job on it.

[@UndercoverCracker]

legion does look rather good though......

[@ayyohwinning]

I don't trust blizz to do a good job anymore, everything (at least IMO) since Wrath has been shit, a letdown, or both

[@nickbuchanan4179]

legacy serves coming soon!

[@ayyohwinning]

Nick Buchanan That's not confirmed

[@razornhd7167]

Confirmed On Nov.7.16

[@Cranb]

It feels like such a shame that all that is left of WoW is bits like the nostalgia for this song. The time of this has passed, and I do miss it

[@oceanliketeacher]

Times have not passed, my friend, you have changed.

[@musix6919]

0:44 Ready to cry :')

[@masachz]

YES MY LORD

[@Palatard]

Hey there. ... Safe travels!

[@guyfromdubai]

See ya round!

[@skirdus367]

King's honor, friend.

[@patrickjanuario3291]

Light be with you

[@DeathspellO]

For the alliance

[@Perjoss]

Truly amazing and emotional piece of music. 10/10

[@38Camando]

I always thought of this soundtrack as the most peaceful in the game and it was the first time I stepped into such a breathtaking forest for the first time since the farron woods back in Zelda!

[@ThatRipper]

I’ve been looking for this version for a long time, every time I hear the original I could swear there’s more to it.

[@Sioden.]

No matter how much time passes, I still happen to find myself listening to WoW music such as this and sit back and think of the good times I've had throughout the many years of playing this game. The music, however, will always manage to touch my heart in a way no other music can.

[@MisterVicePresident]

This soundtrack gives me the unshakeable feeling that everything is slowly falling apart and there's nothing I can do to stop it, no matter how many times I listen to it. The climax of this soundtrack was probably defined by the Defias Brotherhood's ultimate success in razing the recently bolstered haven of Sentinel Hill.

[@sporeguy1210]

The first time in WoW played as a human. Heard this music and the fantasy aspect of the game hooked me. definitely one of my favorite themes in the game as well as zone. Love flying back to northshire and standing under the lamp post.

[@nemnless]

Every time I listen to the song, I cried. Feels like... someone is talking to you, tells you that you're not alone, we're here for you. Feels like... the song understands your pain, tells you to be strong, tells you to be better, and don't cry! Everything will be fine... To someone like me, I don't really have anyone to talk to. Even to my family, I couldn't open my mouth and ask them to give me a hug, ask them to talk to me. Even if they do, I feel nothing at all. I don't really have a close friend. The only one who cares about me is my girl friend, but we can only be together for about 1 hour per day. Maybe I'm asking too much, but most of the time, I'm alone, and I do everything alone. Because of it, I feel... weak. I'm just a normal person, not a hero in movies who can do everything them self. No one wants to listen to me, I always get interrupted when I'm saying something. Even with my family, they don't seem to care too much about what I say. I always need to work so hard for someone to finally notice me. I'm kinda tired of this. The song, for some reason, gave me a lot of strength to keep going. I always listen to this song when I'm deeply depressed, I'll cry, and then I'll be fine, and then continue forward. For someone reading this, hope you have a nice day, and hope this song can soothe your pain as it is to me.

[@slinttu1378]

When i hear this piece, i cry aswell. It reminds me of playing with my brother, who sadly took his life 2 years ago. He was super excited for WoW Classic, like really excited, then one day he's just gone. It's amazing how music can make you feel, you can really hear the emotion in this piece.

[@SourCyanide]

Dude, as a veteran of wow, hearing this almost makes me cry.

[@ryaduwu6095]

That feeling of missing that life back then.

[@Megatyrant]

I started playing WoW again a few days ago, rolled a warlock worgen, and started questing. Got tired of Darkshore, and ventured to Stormwind. Then, I set foot in Elwynn Forest, and notice the new music in the background. And I have to say, of what I have heard so far, it is my absolute favorite track in the entire game.

[@AndrevusWhitetail]

I can't help but feel nostalgic, and during the Twilight Highlands introductory quests in Stormwind when we're helping the Prince this just feels so good alongside the new Stormwind songs.

[@AndrevusWhitetail]

+Andrevus Whitetail Wow...i can hardly believe i wrote this almost a year ago and my feelings haven't changed one bit.Nothing like walking around Elwynn Forest on a level 20 twink, collecting herbs around midnight to this sad, yet beautiful music.

[@Thiwanax]

Same here. :) It gives me chills, and makes me smile at the same time. I remember when i ran around trying to quest when i was 12, memories. im 19 years old now, and really, i just want to cry when i hear this music, and wow has changed so damn much. ^^

[@JoeOf91]

i always enjoyed lvling instead of staying at max and humans were my fav. characters to play with. God this song is like my soul. i can't believe it has been years since i last listened to this.

[@SevScout]

I feel that way about the original stormwind soundtrack. Except that soul part... That's too sappy

[@Swatmat]

as a horde player, i love this track, durator was memorable too but the elwynn forest music really captures the atmosphere

[@BeastMK]

As Horde Player the Chorus was Making me to Listen a little before and after Attacking some Alliance players..I dont Play the Game anymore but still Stopping by to Listen some Themes...I dont Regret any min Spent to this Amazing Game...Had so many Friends..Was good to be a Kid and playing this after School Days...Real Life Kicked in and had to Give up but still Have it in My Pc.. :\

[@gamejew123]

i miss the old days

[@LauziieDauziie]

I actually stay in Elwynn forest for the soundtrack now... It's so beautiful.

[@McFNEODOIL]

I'm a horde and don't like Ally very much, but one day me and Guilde's came to Elywnn Forest to raid stormwind City and i came across this beloved music! All i could say it made me like the ally alot better. Now i got Elywnn Forest Everyday to listen to this majestic song!

[@Thiwanax]

This is one of the best soundtracks, i remember when i was younger, i played as a human mage, i was noob, but i LOVED the music there. it just brings back memories, daw

[@giannitruc12]

Close your eyes and listen. I'm sure you see green trees with grey wolf and your new character with no item doing quest... haha Thanks...

[@VampiraAma]

I love How Blizzard takes so much time and effort in to their music.

[@OceanWhispering]

This song, it brings back memories. I used to have a really close friend, but he was an 85, so he was always doing bgs, and I would sit and wait for him in Goldshire. A night elf druid I was, and I used to sit with me campfire, talking to the "regulars" at Goldshire. So many friends and fun on such a breath taking game. I miss it so much.

[@drag0nfis7]

Simply beautiful version in 3/4 at around 0:45

[@Topaz1115]

This brings back memories... .. ... I'm thinking about going back to WoW because of this...

[@vanhalen1583]

This song is really beautiful

[@justsomeguywithaname1618]

It's NOT just a game. Seriously, WoW is more addicting than a drug...

[@annleane]

I think this same soundtrack played in Redridge at night. (Am I right?) I remember making a camp fire and looking out across the lake, the sound of a wolf howling faintly in the background. It was so quiet, so peaceful, so lonely. Beautiful. I was too new to know about tier gear, raids, or loot options. I had not become disenchanted yet. I only knew that I loved the game. And somehow, for 9 minutes, this song transports me back there again . . .

[@Ryan_hey]

What a great rendition of the original vanilla version. It's a deeper, more melancholic version, and a great tribute.

[@GrandMcLegend]

Best soundtrack in wow by far. Love it

[@chriscollins3125]

Probably the best of the wow masterpieces, really enjoy this song when I fly over Elwynn

[@arevin8432]

I would sit in Goldshire for at least an hour straight before remembering what I came there for in the first place.

[@juraburlaca5807]

This song has likely essention of representing the atmosphere of a peaceful sunny Elwynn Forest filled with a singing of birds and at the same time I feel like kneeling with rever in front of the hero's monument whose life was sacrificed in order to prevent the end of the world

[@dangerouslysafe3]

A war unrivalled, a evil unleashed, and a world forever wounded.

[@nathanmorris4551]

I am soo relieved they didn't change the soundtrack for Elwynn Forest too much from the Original because it was my favourite piece of music in WoW. Stunning!

[@noisebombTDR]

well we almost played for a decade now. let that sink in 10 years!!! the adventures we lived, the storys we wrote with out actions. and last but not least the friends we made. maybe it's enough because the avarage games i play only last a couple of hours until i'm bored. we can only hope blizz creates another masterpiece called titan and begin our quest for adventure in a new universe.

[@Destroyer120296]

Yeah first time i got shoulder armor and a long cloack i just FRAKED OUT

[@jeffmorse645]

Always thought the revamped Elywnn Forest music kind of had a Lord of the Rings Online quality to it.

[@Daddyduck88]

I love the music of World of Warcraft.I think the music-team is the only part of Blizzard that not "corrupted" by the greed for more profit.They are inspired by the game itself, the factions, the races, what they represent, so they can give us back what's this all about.I'm really greatfull for them to give us the same quality over 8 years without loosing any level of quality.Thank you for giving us these masterpieces.

[@FiendMatadorSlayerOfNoobs]

I have not touched WoW since the Firelands patch, but the track of Elwynn will forever bring tears to me. Goldshire!I,ll miss noobs, elitists, and downright awsome players that hang aorund you!(And also the hordies that occasionally haunt the rooftops) -Sargara, 85 Demonology warlock, terokkar EU

[@oldSchooLson]

Oh, the nostalgia! listening to this stuff makes me want to go back and reroll with no heirlooms or gold or anything. i really miss being a noob during the old x-packs

[@subfrost7]

I deel like i lost someone extremely important to me and the memories play in my head and i pass by places we used to to and my soul cant take the loss socthe more i remember the worse i feel and eventually I give in. This song is incredibly perfectly made. The musicians dont get enough credit and im a musician myself

[@theguitargamer1]

Ten years passed, and I still don't have a target...

[@adamm2091]

Too real man

[@tjstraw1]

This made me laugh lol. Thanks for the memory.

[@skyguy1988]

i miss my old life :( fuck growing up

[@ghjh56]

The feels... I can't. I remember buying my first riding mastery and flying over the Elwynn Forest, trying to hold back my tears.

[@StarcraftNemesis]

i love elwynn forest... i spent so much time in this game and really i never want to miss a fucking single seocond no matter what other people told me!

[@DaHaranGamer]

THANK YOU!! I LOVE THIS SOUNDTRACK, I sometimes go outside SW just to hear it

[@CrissCrossCA]

Thanks for uploading! I love the new music! The old is very nostalgic and I ever most think about the good times in elwynn, but the new music is the best rpg-music I ever heared!

[@bitjezeverpeisek]

the proof that you can even feel nostalgic about cata

[@thatwasfunnyhuh]

Listening to this music makes me want to join WoW again!

[@neonsolace2748]

0:44 god this part is so elder scrolls-ish and i like it so fking much

[@adamm2091]

I wish we could go back guys; not even Classic will be able to take us back. The magic came and went; and this song just makes me sad because we'll never have that experience again. I miss everyone from back then.

[@CarnifaxMachine]

I recently moved into a big city and met up with a friend I played WoW with 4 years ago. It was more than a game.

[@HaloKingMachinima]

A wonderful beautiful piece of music, Long live Blizzards' soundtracks!

will never forget when i made my first char human warrior. this Music and the landscape of Elwynn forrest will forever be stuck in my ears and Eyes. get a Little lump in my throat when i listen this song.

[@beefbeefton5017]

it fucking brings tears to my eyes everytime

[@Cheximus]

Predictably, nothing can beat the original. Pure magic.

[@Helvynya]

"You No take Candle!"

[@CaptainDugog]

I started from Catalogue beta and as an orc main I just sat at West fall watching lvlers pass by while I just sat and chatted to my guild

[@z8tr377]

Turn off the autocorrect

[@bbyever]

And no matter how many alts you make, exploring, questing, and leveling, is never the same .

[@laranjadigitalfilmes]

I also had the same feeling when I started playing, and I still do.

[@generalcorrosive]

This reminds me of the good old days on Anachronos. Goldshire was like the place to be when you weren't raiding or pvping, had some fun times there and met some great friends, man I miss TBC xD

[@Sherydaen]

well sometimes I miss this game, want to go back to the start of this game, the beginning time was so much fun.

[@JoeOf91]

+Sy von SleepingForest kronos is there

[@lythronax4175]

When you have finish the starting zone, you go to stormwind and the elwynn forest. you take quest and when you listen this music and walk all over the forest, you felt liberty and you think just one thing : "this game will be so enjoyable and big" and your adventure begin...

[@macwecek]

Elwynn forest Woodland mama Redridge mountains Duskwood river

[@Sephirotho1]

I remember running around elwynn in 2008, mining copper and buying common (white) items from the vendors around goldshire. It must have taken a month to get from 1 - 10. This is the wow that i loved!

[@FilosfuRe]

This game is the best.. Every Summer since 07', the only thing I want..

[@dtsnyder12]

I mourn because I can never go back to being a noob. Once that feeling is gone, it is gone forever.

[@Nifarian]

WoW made sure another Warcraft game will never be released, R.I.P one of the biggest masterpieces of all time

[@BennyCBlaze]

never have i had goosebumps so bad in my life. nothing beat the days of vanilla wow, questing and killing defias in westfall, hoping to god one of them dropped a red bandanna for my gnome rogue

[@xen7812]

I love this soundtrack it makes me so happy : )

[@huetosmola]

Oh my god you brought me so many memories :) It was when i really felt to LIVE IN Azeroth

[@arwencantonwine617]

I really never got a chance to experience the zones pre-cataclysm because actually one of my earliest memories of world of warcraft is buying the cataclysm expansion. But this makes up for it all because this music is just so amazing.

[@Retnoob]

I'm glad they kept the original themes and re-worked them into the new recording.

[@BosSJ08]

This is only the starting zone....

[@subfrost7]

this song is just......in love with it

[@shahaman5694]

This is so beautiful and emotional. Great game

[@Bashepl]

1:06

[@Brady2k10]

i love the music, but i almost cry everytime i hear it, i even went as far to turn the sound down when going through the area, my dog died just before cata came out and this music always reminds me of her, she was a lovely dog, and hearing this after her dying was just too sad, it made me cry remembering her eyes, im not in tears now though, because i remember what a good life she had with me lot of people say its only a dog, but she was a family member to me, was heartbreaking.

[@Baneio]

Epic god this remind me of wotlk back in the day where i was a noob and i met my best WoW friends in Westfall.

[@MrXPhane]

For me, it's the most relaxing music in WoW

[@voiavictor]

Awwwww. The beauty of the Alliance. This one, Arathi Highlands and Western plaguelands really do you guys some justice. You basically got the Eversong Woods treatment in terms of music
