Barrens - Music & Ambience - World of Warcraft

The Barrens was once a thriving forest under the protection of the night elves and their kind. Several kaldorei settlements dotted the land, and there was no ocean for miles. Then came the Burning Legion and the Great Sundering, which shook ancient Kalimdor to the bedrock. This forested landscape transformed into a scorched plain and is battered now each day by the sun's rays. The Barrens is a sprawling and arid savanna that stretches between the Stonetalon Mountains to the west and Durotar to the east. The grasslands and mesas of Mulgore rise to the southwest, while the wetlands of Dustwallow Marsh lie to the southeast.
The majority of the region consists of vast plains. Mountains to the west hold in heated air, creating the swirling winds that rage across the plains. These windstorms stir up dust devils and tear apart anything larger than the small, tenacious scrub trees. Water is more valuable than gold in the Barrens, and the locations of hidden watering holes are the residents' most closely held secrets. Dry riverbeds and a never-ending spider web of canyons make any journey across the Barrens a dangerous and winding trek. The few brave adventurers willing to scrape out a life on the arid plains inevitably run afoul of centaur warbands or quilboar raiding parties. Despite its often uninviting terrain and hostile inhabitants, the Barrens receive a good deal of interest from Alliance and Horde alike, as well as races native to Kalimdor. Trade routes crisscross the landscape leading to and from more inviting regions, most notably the Gold Road that runs north-to-south through the Barrens and beyond, and rumors suggest that precious minerals and ruins await those with the courage to investigate.
The description above is taken from "Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game" rulebook for the Warcraft tabletop RPG and not only considered non-canon, but also was written for the old version of the zone. Good read though

Started playing WOW at the very start of burning crusade with my dad. We had no idea what we were doing but we started out in the valley of trials, i was a mage and he was a warrior. The year was 2007 I was 13 and we played together all the way through MOP. So many memories and these starting regions stick with me so much more than the others. It was a vast world unexplored and challenging. Now I am a 30 year old man dad has passed, and I can't help but feel bittersweet when hearing this music and seeing the places we adventured. Bless the original developers for this immortal game.

Honest truth old wow broke my brain permanently. Any time Im feeling miserable which is a lot these days Im just constantly overwhelmed with nostalgia for those times and my old guildmates. Sad to say but it was the most fun Ive ever had in life period, and never being able to match or return to it is killing me.

So true. I totally didn't give a shit back then. Home straight from school; hit that PC power button. Could not fucking wait to get home. It sucked out a huge chunk of my life, and I don't even play video games any more, i get too existential, but when I think back on those times, it's hard to think of when I enjoyed myself more than, or even as much as those times. Original 40 man raids on MC and BWL... 40 vs 40 Alterac Valley with one game that went over 2 days with Alliance never winning! Befriending people from interstate, and even over seas, catching up over teamspeak every night like you're mates from school after first meeting up for the first time for a Mara run at the princess. I get annoyed and feel the pain of wanting that feeling again of what I once had, but then I appreciate that I have those awesome memories.

As someone previously commented, 14:11 gets me seriously thinking of what the Orcs, Trolls, and Tauren of the Horde went through in trying to make a life for themselves. That part of Barrens music makes me think of all the struggles, loss, and perseverance all members of the Horde go through in trying to survive through Kalimdor. At the same time, uniting under one banner to make a home for themselves in such perilous lands.. such hardships, brings some water to the eyes.

Actually to be honest - I enjoy it more when these "goosebump" tracks appear twice or three times during these 1 hour music videos. Like the Dun Morogh video you made - the piano piece which gives me goosebump is included twice I think. Around the 14th and 48th minute marks.

The great thing about wow is that you know you had a great day when you see the sun go up and down but in the game lmao. Joke aside, make quest in the night in the barrens when everyone is asleep was something. And when you meet somebody at 3am he was your bff

[@user-xo3tr8fs4v]

Tauren 1 and 2 songs , best ever! Ty for sharing , and bringing the good emotions back!

[@YeaItsMeMatt89]

Thank you for all of this great music Everness. You have made my life so much more bearable to endure.

[@lotanowo]

Couple years ago I had the idea of putting ambient sounds and music with high quality panoramas of zones, and you actually did it. Nice job.

[@joncatanio]

These make me so incredibly happy. Thank you!

[@Mintymagicality]

Like many others here, I have super fond memories of running around the Barrens with my first Tauren Druid. Had virtually no idea what I was doing half the time, but that was part of the fun. Thanks for helping me get through the work day!

[@kass4lyfe17]

YES- so happy you posted this!

[@gogelgogelgogel]

37:53 *I FUCKING FOUND IT!!!* Everytime somebody says ''Vanilla'' I think of this song, I remember running in Mulgore with my Tauren Warrior and thinking about reaching high levels in the game, I was only 6-7 years old... I am about to tear up, lol....

[@Blackadder75]

That is indeed the most iconic music theme for these low lvl horde parts.... great memories!

[@yannlaot3972]

One of the best VO of WOW.... so much good memories...

[@Natecx]

Thank you sooo much for uploading this! Been waiting for this one!!

[@MatMilizia]

@Everness I worked on the World of Warcraft team during vanilla (artist). When I listen to these tracks it brings me back. Jason Hayse composed a lot of these songs as well, please credit him.

[@erroltrepanier8177]

So glad to hear others get goose bumps listening to this such wonderful memories I will never forget the experience and have yet to capture it in any other game

[@Nahinho69]

Wow ! Such memories, OMG !

[@pumpsteele69]

hard to believe its been 6 years since the barrens came out

[@Snowiesphotography]

Oh the memories this brings :D Thank you so much Everness for posting these. I don't know how I would work through the day without being able to listen to these videos :D :D :D

[@mordacil4133]

Thanks a lot for these videos! They're really great for working/studying or just reminiscing about the good old days :) The ambience sounds add a lot as well, great idea to keep those alongside the music.

[@Everness1]

Thank you! Not just keep, but extract and edit for hours and hours! :D

[@mordacil4133]

Haha yea I imagine it's quite a lot of work. Thanks again for doing it, the results are lovely :)

[@svendheim]

This is the soundtrack of my early twenties... Ah, nostalgia overflow :)

[@wolfkang86]

Thank you so much for all the great compilations of WoW soundtracks. Pretty much these days, I only play this and the Eversong Woods track when I study/read/relax. The videos are great as well!

[@stivi9782]

Bring me back to these old times...

[@dozzer88]

Ich höre das oft zum einschlafen

[@TheSchultzBrigade]

Thanks for posting this, it's great!

[@Everness1]

Thank you for enjoying it!

[@jarrod5855]

If I had to live in one zone from wow, it'd be vanilla barrens.

[@andresmchesini-remic9758]

I'd live in Mulgore, but I'd do my shopping in crossroads just for the lulz

[@coolasice3531]

I'd live in Grizzly hills or Howling fjord.

[@spectre111]

@@coolasice3531 Ratchet, and visit UC for Hallow's End.

[@MichZilla90]

The zone I would want to live in off the top of my head is probably Azure Span

[@SavageDragon999]

Damn.... those runs from Crossroads to Ratchet... Getting your groups ready for Wailing Caverns.

[@marveel88]

Everness you are the inspiration for all of us. Scenes are perfectly matched with the music. All this is bringing great memories. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Poland.

[@Everness1]

Thank you! Very nice to hear that.

[@Alefthau142]

Yes! A new video for my days of work! :D Thank you so much Everness, your videos are the best! I just want to go back playing WoW thanks to you.

[@vefanturmandos9022]

That's how it started again for me. >Hmm, what could I listen to today >That theme was good, it's been a while, let's go >Nostalgia Brick Wall charges. >Nostalgia Brick Wall casts Hamstring on you. >Nostalgia Brick Wall's Mortal Strike crits you for 99999999. >You are dead. See a pattern?

[@kayeskibbler647]

I really do appreciate these vids.

[@MrKogoruhn]

Another masterpiece made by Everness.

[@ARGLoadout]

Recuerdo cuando había empezado a jugar y quedé maravillado con Los Baldios (The Barrens), tanto que sigo yendo cada cierto tiempo a sentarme en las montañas y mirar el atardecer o caminar por las llanuras durante la noche. World of Warcraft tiene esa magia que ningún otro juego tiene.

[@lordjavathe3rd]

This sooths me. Thanks

[@IvanAslanov-jz8js]

52:25 ill always remember that sound.

[@FIIIP.]

Even though our paths are rarely crossing nowadays, hearthstone will forever stay in Barrens. :' )

[@brendamobley]

I just wanna go home And here we are
