Jose Gonzalez - Far Away (SpikeTV VGA Live) RDR

a brilliant song for a brilliant game sang by a brilliant singer. this song is hauntingly beautiful and mellow and to me it played in the game in the perfect time.

"We can't always fight nature, John. We can't fight change. We can't fight gravity. We CAN'T FIGHT NOTHING. My whole life...all I ever did was fight... But I can't give up neither. I can't fight my own nature. That's the paradox, John. You see?" - Dutch van der Linde.

[@nachogranatemalvarg]

"Our time has passed John"

[@solovej815]

Nacho Rizzo Soon we're gonna see that '' time "

[@LGinux]

Love that piece of dialogue, especially after rdr2 and seeing that dutch was at one point a great person.

[@REDDEAD_uzi]

Amazing writing from rockstar

[@ethanstapley7018]

"Money"

[@gpeddino]

That moment in which I first entered Mexico... That mysterious voice crept in, as that was the first non-instrumental song I was hearing in the game. The sun was going down, and I just felt myself completely immersed in that world. A groundbreaking moment for me and my ideas of the feelings that could ever be evoked by a game.

[@austinwaters1619]

Couldn't agree more! Such an incredible moment.

[@Negative98hollow]

perfect comment

[@busayar]

Well said sir.

[@oliverswenson2470]

Amen brother.

[@fademoney215]

Negative98hollow I actually cried when I completed this game.

[@roo_297]

Masterpiece 10/10

[@DazReht]

Best game i have ever played. Graphics, gameplay, sound & music, voice acting, story, replay value. All topnotch.

[@roo_297]

Agreed one of the best games I ever played when I look back on gaming this one will be remembered for sure

[@ddmmmm771]

Holds up so damn well still. It's amazing what they pulled off on those consoles

[@nathanb5579]

Did you like RDR2?

You ready for the remaster on the rdr 2 engine?(;

[@1098tech]

"I ain't going nowhere!" "Whatever you say, Pa." Is it wrong that I tear up whenever I hear that line?

[@xRand0mHero]

Still an amazing line

[@TheDrinkyDude]

No, blessed are the peacemakers

[@TacoDrell]

This song gave off such a depressing atmosphere when I first heard it riding into Mexico, it was dark, raining and I found myself immersed in that game more than antithetical I've ever played and probably ever will play.

[@notcooper339]

Same. It was before I had a hard-drive installed so I’d been playing for 12 hours straight to get where I was. As the thunder crashed and the rain soaked the sand, I was the storm. It felt beyond cinematic. I’ll never forget it

[@nickbuckley4371]

It’s feels like this way of life is dying the age of gunslingers and outlaws.

[@porthegreyman3782]

This one should ve been remastered instead of GTA V

[@RavenAtmOsphereOyate]

CHAKRIT PRAKTHONG both should have.

[@JIG-vn8sc]

No Red Dead Redemption is superior

[@prophetcitrus9638]

I hope they keep the small features in from RDR to RDR2 like buying newspapers, train rides, and damage to npc's depending where you shot them. I wish they kept that in GTA 5 and not their stupid one ragdoll fits all, damn when you shot both their kneecaps they just sat and still shot at you in desperation, they best make it as immersive as Red Dead Redemption.

[@DIRTYSANCHEZ1995]

Well son, it has all that and more. Try shooting an enemy in the gut, he knows he's dying, and he stands there behind cover with his guts spilling out, squirting blood everywhere, shooting at you in desperation until his clearly lethal centre mass shot, which is now profusely squirting arterial blood, causes him to collapse to the ground. rdr2 is more real than real life

[@stevenritter8719]

This is one of the reasons why this is my favorite game of all time and it will always have a special place in my heart. Man I need to play this game again. Well it looks like a week or two is about to flash by.

[@saraofficial7813]

Steven Ritter same here. fuck, that game give me goosebumps.

[@hassendz8718]

the best game ever. the best game song ever.

[@sinbaadi]

Number one game of the last gen' in my opinion.

And now rdr2 is the game of the generation

[@TBrizzle01]

I can't believe that it's been 12 years since this incredible game came out...

[@eightfifty2309]

Still gets me to this very day. Kinda makes me wish to rewind those years back just to feel that again when that game was first released.

[@zackjones6043]

Almost 10 years later and I still love this performance. What an amazing song for an amazing game.

[@Jimmbuss]

anybody else get goosebumps from 1:28? He's Good

[@BOND19951]

An amazing song by Jose Gonzalez for an amazing game like Red Dead Redemption.

[@busayar]

The perfect song for the perfect game!!! Best game ever I played and I played thousands of them. Since the days of Atari and Commodore until rdr. Never be so emotionally attached to a video game like this.

[@flaringcomet]

qweros666 old comment, but just play RDR2 and your eyes will be pouring

[@roejogan8031]

Holy shit, RDR, and this song was legendary

[@TheRealSandorClegane]

A true artist amazing game, kudos to rockstar for creating one of my favorite moments in gaming history, ill never forget the first time I rode into mexico with this song playing and rain pouring down. Amazing that this generation gets to live vicariously through such great moments.

[@sl4dja]

Tyler Durden me too that misteryous voice i never forget when i go on amazing Mexico😊

[@Zamibia]

one of the most beautifully crafted gaming moments of last gen

[@ItsJosiePosie]

This popped up in my feed and oh my god talk about nostalgia. I remember watching this and I was jumping for joy that Red Dead won and Joses performance made me so happy. It was like reliving John journey again in a way. Hopin to see the same with Arthur and Unshaken ;)

[@benjaamin8]

I hope rockstar is working with Jose G again for RDR2.

[@DiabetixDude14]

I sure hope so as well. Ive been playing it since it came out and so far I havent heard any soundtracks or anything. I thought to myself Blues Saracano shoulda done some music for RDR2

[@jorgek92]

Did they work with him? Can someone confirm?

[@jorgek92]

Did they work with him? Can someone confirm?

[@ElRadioDJ913]

Sadly no.

[@jorgek92]

@Jack Brewer that is good info, I will check it out. Thank you

[@lesmichtos731]

" stop play game with me " too late John, you're in my xbox

[@reaperofthenorth7097]

its been almost 11 years since this game came out, and It truly was art. A man tryna protect his family while living with the paradox we call reality. Truly revolutionary. Rockstar Games truly are amazing developers.

[@justinrichardson1763]

ONE of the best games I have ever played... and I bet it 5 times!

[@psycobabble4056]

*beat

[@justinrichardson1763]

Lol

[@andymccombie2360]

One of the best and greatest moments in video game history! The song, the music, the scene, tired, covered in dust and mud, reflected in your actions and the moments that will come... Well done rockstar.. so proud to be Scottish

[@iamlegend1985]

This track helped me through a lot of bad times thank you rockstar and especially Jose Gonzalez 🙏🏼

[@maddog123tj]

Why hello 2021. 11 years ago and I shall never forget that moment first riding into Mexico. That true immersion and wonder. Leaving a familiar land and entering a new one. I can't wait for the remaster I've beaten red dead 2 3 times now it's time to revisit the goat

[@seanacker21]

God I love this song. I get goose bumps every time I hear this song. It is just that beautiful.

[@tyneeshabon3]

yep!!

[@namelessgunslinger4267]

Red Dead Redemption forever!

[@AirshipOverWater]

I’m here after replaying RDR1 after playing RDR2 after playing RDR1 years ago. I love the sequel but the nostalgia of the story with John - he and his story meant so much to me. Like a generation after it did for fans with Arthur, John is one of my favorite protagonists in any medium. This was such a beautiful moment in a beautiful game that is a core memory for me. Undoubtedly one of the best games of all time.

[@charliemoney]

The real reason I replay rdr1 from time to time, is to hear this song in its purest form. It feels like all of John’s problems fade out for a few moments during that ride through Mexico. Gives me chills every time.

[@islemcharani6460]

i love red dead redemption 1 ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@HooplAAHHH]

When this came on in the game I got so pumped and just rode into Mexico knowing I was about to fuck some shit up.

[@Adrian31609]

this game makes most of the games today look like shit

[@mgalegacy6403]

I really hope they do something like this in RDR2. One of the only moments in gaming that I got true chills

[@Ritzuh]

May I stand unshaken :(

[@mgalegacy6403]

@@Ritzuh I knoooow 😢. The soundtrack this year exceeded my expectations. Unshaken, The Way It Is, and Cruel Cruel World with Willie Nelson himself. Absolutely beautiful.

[@flaringcomet]

MGA Legacy see the fire in your eyes 😭

[@jakefowler8522]

Still the best game ever made. EVER!!! I really hope they do a sequel, but even if they do, it may look prettier, but other than that, u can't improve perfection!

[@merangoo8372]

Jake Fowler Good news RDR two is coming out later this year!

[@Kutrisimo]

Howdy Partner! Are u ready for the prequel? 🌵🌞🐎👤

[@yeezus8571]

it's been 4 years

[@James-vq4jw]

4 years has just turned in to 6 days until we might see the greatest game that has ever been made

[@itsmikehumphrey]

there was only one flaw in red dead redemption 1.... and that is nigel west dickens.

[@sulimo99]

Brilliant singer...Argentinian heritage 🇦🇷❤

[@staggerlee3]

12 years ago?!? Has it really been that long? Perfection never fades I guess. #RDR3BringBackLiarsDice Please.

[@YlakerranJatka]

Cant wait for Rdr 2 or whatever the title is going to be.

[@noblesavage8332]

The wagon bit on rdr 1 is the best ongoing deal for me. It's safer in the wagon all the time

[@Zephr238]

[@xlQueenOfCrowslx]

omg one of my favorites games ever, omg i cried when i saw the Ending,i love this game

[@KingHD889]

yeah I did to

[@marcdelorme9145]

Whoever is green-lighting song selection over at Rockstar is a genius.

[@TheChefShipwreckinAlaska]

Still amazing to hear now

[@nickbuckley4371]

Both red dead’s are the best most deep and awesome western story I have ever seen the feels the downs the epic awesome moments everything

[@JediBlades42]

If I ever get the chance to buy a guitar & learn how to play it, this will be one of the first songs I do.

[@MichaelAndberg-ei2kq]

Oh my good! I just love this song! It's been such a part of me it feels like it's been real! Just love this game ❤❤❤

[@TheMd0708]

One of the best Xbox Games I ever played. And this Song is the right Sound for an epic game like this. Love Rockstargames. Großes Lob aus Deutschland!

[@GR_BLITZ]

that game and that song almost make cry, for real...

[@liljazm1n]

love this. LOVE THIS. wonderful game, amazing song and singer. I have to play it again soon.

[@PreyInTheDark]

ha i remember seeing this when it aired :D

[@CuChulainn343]

the west died with John Marston because it's heart was already broken by the loss of Arthur Morgan

[@tristanpatterson3843]

Hearing lyrics in this game for the first time on this transition into Mexico was mind blowing. Really made me listen. Best game audio moment ever.

[@RoelWijker]

My PS3 got a YLOD just before this game came out. This christmas my kid brother, who lives abroad, send me a new one! This is the first game I started playing.....damn this game is so good! 3 years old and is still kicks AC3's ass on all aspects....exept graphics i guess.

[@GlaciusTS]

RDR was one of the greatest games I've ever played. When this song came on... riding into mexico as the sun was setting... pure ecstasy. Probably one of the greatest moments in VG history, the best use of a soundtrack I've ever heard.

[@vinnysayshey713]

game made me cry. outlaws to the end. R.I.P. john...

[@sl4dja]

I CAN'T WAIT FOR RDR 2! Best game song ever made!!

[@facuchango]

I finished this game with my brother a few days ago, and the end, it really hits i don't know why, never a game hits like this, myabe the character was so realistic, like,"family first" so you really believe why john marston did he did to get his family beck, such and awesome game, story, end soundtrack world, ando most of all character,, very long time since any game, make a character even close to what this guy is.

[@matthewgarnier6460]

Cold Wind Blows Into The Skin... Can't Believe The State You're In

[@mikematsumoto]

best game ever. Im still playing and I just got at Mexico and hear that sound. I know its just a game but its really good slow down your trot at that point to hear the sound and look around the river, sun, mountains, etc. They should make a movie about this game. SERIOUS!

[@AltairvsEnzio]

RDR made me feel in a way only GTA4 had made me feel before. That's what a great game should be like, just like a good book or a movie. You laught, you get sad, and the worst is when its over. In GTA I was angry about the death of Roman. It is the same feeling like when a great charakter dies in a movie, or when I have ended reading the lord of the rings for the fourth time. Thats why I think that some games are art as well as books, movies or music are and not just stupid killing.

[@carvenclabau2431]

the feeling you got , when you first heard this playing RDR :D one of the best moments I had when playing a game... honestly xD

[@NoPlainJane-o3c]

I miss spike tv

[@yewtubemike]

They need to make a sequel for the next gen.

[@TeddySpaghetti2X]

complete silence during the song jesus christ its amazing!

[@clarkkane6021]

Hands down prob the best game ever made

[@AndyCigars]

I can play this game over and over, the music, scenery and characters are the best I've ever encountered in a game. Calling it a game doesn't do it justice...it's an incredibly artfully done story that you get to participate in.

[@_morals7_]

I'm Russian, but I love GTA, and at this legendary moment I'm glad to be here and now.

[@beckoningoblivion739]

Man, I remember watching this live and being so stoked when RDR won game of the year. Such a great game.

[@GranTruismo4head]

I bought this game on my Birthday 6 days before the VGAS and 6 days b4 Red Dead Redemption won all the wards it deserved and when I made it to Mexico the day before the VGA's I heard this song and then i hear it again and I just started crying because its soo beautiful.

[@clumziieeful]

i love this song because the 1st time i heard it was sooooo cccccccoooooooolllll

[@srrx]

*Epic game

[@brittanyleck3944]

i cried so hard when john died but laughed my ass off when edgar ross died

[@TheTallica27]

...still beautiful to this day...impressive!

[@jk22222sd]

Thanks for the spoiler alert. I have already finished the game, but you are a good man for putting that in just in case somebody didn't finish it.

[@ukn0wn2ou19]

I remind you, rdr1 game of the year 2010

[@TheTallica27]

My favorite game OF ALL TIME!!! That means a whole damn lot! I looked up this song right after I heard it while riding into Mexico at night. I took my time goin up a hill and cresting on a Mexican plain just to enjoy the song. btw...the songs been in my favs for about a year and a half.

[@An7on1o]

Epic...the best game and the best bso!! AWESOME.

[@Pandarus123]

And here we are.....

[@doolbeepi3059]

I can't tell what I like more, this or Unshaken.

[@julesmateo9954]

Unshaken was a strong follow up, but this one edges it out in my opinion.

[@GerzaynLazoLastra]

he is, wish everyone was, i got spoiled in another video top comment, but no matter i know i hope the story still remains a great one, will buy it soon and play it through, such a great musician behind a game must mean its a great one.

[@webe123]

I have to say, I am now able to play this game on a xbox 360 emulator called Xena Canary and it runs amazingly well! When I first got into mexico and heard this song playing...I just had to look it up! Amazing ....makes you think you are in a movie! I half expected my name to come up in the credits as John Marston! LOL!

[@ARGallardo_]

We can´t always fight nature, John... We can´t always fight change... We can´t fight... nothing...

[@JoaoBrasil_]

We all tought RDR was a masterpiece, with such great songs, the o Rockstar surprised us all once again with RDR 2! Damn, I have no words to describe how beautiful those games are, I finished Arthur's story 3 times already, and I always gets surprised, I'm always admiring that game and every detail It has

[@HillBillyDrew]

Best video game ever man! Rockstar rules the gaming industry! every game they made always made a huge impression on me that I still look back upon today, no other game could ever do that for me.

[@TheMasterTelevision]

@GranTruismo4head John's death made the game. John wasn't a character who swore every 10 seconds, he didn't disrespect anyone not deserving of it, he had morals and character to him. He was the guy you would look up to. John knew that if he left the farm with his family, they would just continue to be hunted down by the government, and possibly killed. He made many sacrifices throughout the game to be with his family, and he made the ultimate sacrifice to protect them. That made the game

[@Sobye123]

played through this game 5 times and bought all of the dlc and it still isnt boring

[@BeerSlayer863]

Chills, every time.

[@kliszeo]

Definition of perfect.

[@PaneloPlays]

i got goose bumps when i first entered mexico and this song started playing
