This took me a long time. Mostly cause a violin-choir combo is already tough to translate onto piano, but the sheer length and build-up of Journey from Destiny 2 made this one an exceptional challenge. Made some small changes to keep it interesting and help with the pacing so it doesn't become tiring to listen to. Hope you like it!

One of the best pieces from Destiny. The emotive power instantly takes me back to some of the most somber moments in the game.

[@SaimoodPianoVersions]

The game was in bad state at begging but I'll never forget this mission an it's music.

[@Jhart88]

in general the Red War wasnt regarded as the best, for me it was definitely up there. Journey is underrated and the exploration in the vanilla D2 stages was incredible. New Lights miss out big time imo.

[@thorn4492]

agreed, my friends started after shadowkeep. ive played since d1. i started at the age of 9. im now 18. 9 Years with destiny. some ups, some downs. this song is my favorite. Halo and destiny are my childhood XD

The magic and nostalgia i feel from this saddens me, the moment i heard this in my heart i knew the journey had just begun, when all seemed to end. I kept pushing forward with bravery in the darkness, with light all these years with me i find the past of d2 my memorable moments. This is more than just a game to some guardians. This song will always bring a tear to a True guardians eyes😢.

[@momongasmith5986]

This song always makes me wanna cry fuck… it has been nearly ten years now since it all began. Eyes up guardian, per Audacia ad astra

[@63degreeangle44]

I hear these stories of guardians who started so many years ago, and those who felt the vanguard got greedy and went to shit; meanwhile, I rose only a few months ago. A friend who’s played forever made me finally download it and I fell in love with this game instantly. Not only is the base gameplay better than any other I have ever found, but the universe and story are gigantic and beautiful. Few games can create the kinds of bonds among its players like this one has. The future is insanely uncertain with what the Bungie executives are doing, but I see the beautiful core of this game and will continue to enjoy as long as I am able. Eyes up guardian.

[@vernon6505]

I had flashbacks of fleeing the city for the first time. Reaching the mountains and seeing the traveler bound and the city burning.

RIP Cayde 6 and Amanda Holliday

[@user-gq7eo2yh6b]

I just came across this today. I felt goosebumps crawl on my skin as memories flooded back. I remember my journey staring back in The Taken King, I remember begging my father for the expansion and, eventually, getting it for Christmas. I remember my old friends, my experiences with them, the ups, the downs, and I remember my triumphs. Felling The Taken King, getting my Bolt Caster, Putting the Iron Lords to their final rest. Felling Aksis, and screaming with my teammates when we did so. I remember starting destiny 2, and exploring the forges, and finding the secrets of them. Exploring the underbelly of the leviathan, taking down the water of worlds, and ascending the spire of stars. Defeating insurrection prime and getting anarchy. I remember defeating Ghalran after oh so many attempts, and cheesing riven way too many times, and now? As we approach the end of the light and dark saga, I remember these days, thinking of what we all worked towards.

[@thatdelinquent3622]

My heart goes out to the guardians who never had the honour of playing the red war campaign. Where it began and hearing this absolute banger of a song play while you contemplate how you will your lightless existence as you journey into unknown territory. We may have fallen but as all guardians do we rise again to reclaim what was once ours and bask in the glory of granting everyone that fought so bravley with us a chance a peace once again. Honestly one of my most enjoyable experience i had followed by amazing music.

[@sirdudenstein6967]

I am a destiny player and I have been listening to your music for a while now. It’s so amazing to me that you are playing music from the game I play so much. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Thecyanide667]

Sometimes I sit and think about how far I’ve come since first starting Destiny. I started D2 the day after my birthday, I remember using hotspots to connect to Internet at the time. My partner by my side through it all. I recall the Red War and battling Ghaulran for a whole night till finally I beat him. Sometimes I miss “old” destiny. I left d2 for 2 years due to internet/lack of ps+. I got a job and an Xbox and came back. Fought through forsaken and on. As the end of the light and dark saga comes in 2 days, I remember I am no longer that beginning player I once was. I’ve bested monsters and gods all the same, my team and I. Made awesome friends, memories, and heartfelt moments. This game has been with me as I’ve grown, from a goofy high schooler in 9th grade to an IT tech with a degree. 8 years of destiny 2. Eyes up guardian. We’ve made it.

[@abdullaramzi3192]

I remembered crying when I first heard this. You were surviving alone. No longer important. Every bullet counts. The scene was amazing. Then boom, the sound track hits like a truck. Enough to make even gods weep.

[@LykeTwice]

just found this in my feed after hearing Salvatori was part of the Bungie lay offs. His work on Halo and Destiny fueled my passion for music, and it sucks to hear him leave Bungie in such an unfortunate way.

[@eranronen573]

Looking forward to seeing how you managed to replace the strings and the chorus and percussion, it's a monumental challenge but I'm sure it'll be excellent

[@peelzboyplays6089]

The rise in power up until 3:30 gave me goosebumps in the best way possible. Amazing rendition! Thank you so very much! ❤

[@yahsoonstanert7041]

I love music. there is something about the way it pulls me in. it's actually a little bit of a problem because if there's music, I often hear nothing else. but there's something about pianos that just sounds different from other instruments, it's like they sound cleaner than instruments like the electric guitar, which sometimes just sound like incoherent screaming. I guess this is really just a long wind way of saying thank you for making songs and themes easier for people like me to hear.

[@benjaminlewis4667]

Your piano covers are the best ones I have in my KZbin playlist. I always look forward to whatever comes next. You rock!

This is so good, great job doing it! ❤ Istg if journey starts playing at the end of TFS once we win (cause we probably will), im gonna bawl my eyes out cause i completely forgot about this piece. been playing 2-3 years and this still hits so hard every time. Off-topic, but journey would be great for a cutscene where the guardian finally regains their memories of their past life.

Journey will always make me cry and as a man I'll proudly say that, been with destiny since D1 but something about this track from vanilla D2 is just so beautiful. I started this journey as a guardian when I was a kid and now im out of school and working a full time job. Just reminds me of a simpler time in game and life. Great job man

Let’s go. We have been waiting for this for ages. This is super awesome! One of my favorites. Thank you so much for doing this

[@seriouslyblack1289]

Wow. Didn't expect to find yet another piano version of this. I already played two different versions before. I really like your version for taking some freedoms whereas the others I played before took more of a complete song accurate approach. I really loved that the part after the guardian's theme was played in a higher octave. Also can we expect some raid boss themes? There is no decent sheet version out there for stuff like first disciple or oneirophobia. They do hit differently. Or maybe even some older stuff like keep of voices (Riven)? I may have quit destiny with Lightfall but the soundtrack is still unbeatable. Thanks for bringing it back to the piano 😁

[@startrek525]

It's insane how good this is. More D2 please!

[@_Ghost_Shadow_]

Was around when the first Destiny came out, I was pretty young only like 7 or 8 years old. I grew up with the OG Halo games from Bungie (Halo 4 was actually pretty good honestly in terms of story), but the music, listening to Salvatori and O'Donnell, Lewin, and Moav, it brings back old memories of friends, raids, the original stories, and now that Im in my college years going for a major I never expected, Im looking back at the old days of childhood and they inspired me to follow music as a career. I hope if someone reads this, even if you are a new light or a veteran of days long past, find some inspiration in what Ive said.

[@ethosari2029]

Sony fired them, not bungie. Sony owned bungie, it's all Sony's fault. Bungie wanted to keep them.

[@PedestalPrime]

Destiny will never be the same without Micheal Salvatori. Him being fired is nothing short of a travesty. I just wanted an extra motif of Journey.... Maybe a metal send off in Final Shape's Raid DPS phase.

“Stand with me gardian” -Commander Zavala

[@LotusHex103]

One of, if not the best pieces from a long ago time in the ages of Destiny 2. The start of our losses and hardship to the top again, to finding ourselves and facing newer, more violent threats. It's sad that these New Lights won't get to see WHY Destiny 2 has gone down the story it has, at least, not the full story. The timeline quest doesn't even show Red War, just Forsaken and onwards.

[@einKlotzHolz]
