"Born a Stranger" - To the Moon OST (2024 Extended Version)

[@bennettgillespie5382]

I first played To The Moon when I was 12. This series has stuck with me longer than any other; when I play it, I feel seen in a way I rarely am otherwise. Freebird and their work are a fundamental part of who I am today, and for that, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Looking forward to the Beach Episode!

[@КирюЭтоу]

Я тоже в неё поиграл лет в 11-12. У меня не было ещё тогда ПК, так что я скачивал игры на андроид, и слава богу что она была на мобильные платформы. Без неё я бы наверное никогда бы и не узнал о таком шедевре. Пусть и в России она не так популярна, но для меня она очень важна.

[@Ibbys_space]

it's funny how I came here too about a decade after release at the same age, i still play through story games of all kinds and nothing hits just like this series

[@sickowhale6861]

Dude These games are not for the 12 year old kids. Protect your heart.

[@AlisherU262]

​@@sickowhale6861 , but even at 8 years old you may be more mentally mature than some at 32, may you not?

[@JosephTheAustin]

These are just about the most wholesome games in the entire world.

[@ren1kxx]

This game still hits hard after all these years, especially it's soundtracks

[@Gustave512]

I hope To the moon would has a movie or animation, the story is still on my mind after 10 years.

[@Saro1111]

It’s been in the making for a very long time

[@Putrihenita]

@@Saro1111a movie of it?? Source?

[@catnip7755]

To the Moon hurt me more than any real life event. 10/10 would do again

[@JosephTheAustin]

I just want the anime to come out so i can share the trauma

[@Awesomesauc190]

I dont want this series to end! Fantastic stories with fantastic and memorable characters and the music always hits like none other!

[@БасяКришавицкий]

Well, these series are not ending yet! We'll see the fourth episode soon. (It is in development already)

[@Karmic_Guide]

Would love to see a Piano Collections style book containing the works of your games. Lovely as always

[@shooplaa]

To The Moon is so dear to me because it moved me so profoundly but also your soundtrack was what got me into piano 9 years ago and I've come so far now 😭😭 Hearing these updated versions of tracks gives me so much serotonin and I love them so much!!

[@KatjaMacabre]

.....I didn't know I needed this until right now 🖤 I have a family member who is sick with cancer...and this felt like the perfect hug that I needed. Thank you 🖤

[@lorettabes4553]

I'm so sorry. Hugs from Europe

[@EvesEvilVideos]

Best wishes from Pennsylvania

[@ikubonhotasboze]

私は日本人の貴方のファンです！ To the moonをプレイして物語と貴方の楽曲に心を震わされてから、毎日のようにゲームのサウンドトラックを聴いています！ 今回、また貴方の新しい音楽に触れることが出来て、本当に幸せです！ 感動をありがとうございます！

[@meyosh8734]

Oh as far as I remember an anime was announced for this game. I haven't seen any news about this one in years though.

[@azurememory]

To the moon will forever hold a special place in my heart…. The osts of the game adds so much emotion into the game and atmosphere its insane…

[@shirokhorshid2997]

I hope you know just how many lives you have impacted with your works of art.

[@ChrisSummers-AlienFaeRE]

Not gonna give anything away but a certain artistic genius met with Kan to share how much of an inspiration he has been a while back. It's like that show the bear said. .these things begin and then go their separate ways and somehow end up back together again somehow :)

[@Post_Stall_Maneuver]

As a newcomer to the SigCorp series (played every game in the span of a week back in November 2023), I still feel what those people felt when they first played in the early 2010s: Sorrow, joy, emotional attachment, heartbreak, all to the story of John Wyles. Then Colin Reeds. Then Quincy Reynard. What did I get out of this saga? A lot, but if I had to sum it all up: your games can single-handedly prove that video games are a form of art. And this simple yet solemn piece was improvised? Bravo once again to my favorite indie developer of all time: Kan Gao! Can't wait for the Beach Episode, Last Hour RPG, and the animated film! (P.S. I really hope the film trailer will be a note-for-note recreation of the original trailer! I would probably have a dopamine storm if that happened!)

[@icantthinkofaname7293]

There will never be a single thing in my life that understands me as well as this game did.

[@defenderofjustice-ky9rx]

I'm crying now This is beautiful, and it tells me that it's time for my bi-annual replay of the Sigmund Corp games

[@MisterLambda]

After revisiting the game for the first time in a decade, I wanted to find an extended version of this piece, only to find the creator himself composed one just 6 months ago. Thank you Kan. You are amazing.

[@alexeyleontiev6110]

It's still make me cry

[@jocelynpappas3341]

There is one arrangement i've been listening to here on youtube for years bc it always gives me so much peace and serenity and used to cope alongside other songs when growing up as a woman with autism, diagnosed rather early on at a preteen, and just, not being seen and being bullied in middle school and dealing with ptsd... i'm so glad to the composer released his own extended version! I'm now 26 and i still listen to the soundtrack of To the Moon amongst others to calm down when anxiety gets the best of me, thank you KAn Gao for this release

[@Ivy-jq6di]

This song is so memorable to me when I think of To the Moon. Genuinely one of the best story-driven games I've ever played and one that will stay with me for as long as I live. Thank you for sharing your stories with the world

[@antonybigwizard6630]

我三年前大学刚入学就买了Imposter Factory，直到今天才有契机把它玩完，这次不仅仅有neil和eva的故事，而且这种人生观实在是精彩的不得了！从初中的去月球到高中的寻找天堂，鸟的故事，到大学快毕业的Imposter Factory有你真好，谢谢🙏！从小到大，我的爱情和世界观的成型少不了你们的影子，期待下一部作品～

[@meyosh8734]

I'm attracted to indie games for something. I especially find something in common in the games to the moon, oneshot and undertale. Recently I would add OMORI to this list, although it gives me a different sadness.

[@ArcadeTheatre]

So beautiful. This series gives me so much emotion and nostalgia. Thank you for sharing, Kan.

[@KryDraws]

I can't exaggerate how much this game means to me and has been a relative reason as to why I do what I do in fulfilling my passion as a creative thinker and satiating my mind with the critical and psychological sides of knowledge. This game is rooted in psychological aspects that are displayed so thoroughly and beautifully through damn pixel story-telling and it's so good. The music too has always meant a lot to me, I listen to John's piano's theme to River a lot not just because of their story, but just how wonderful the sound the theme is.

[@grugspro]

I can't get over how beautiful this track is, amazing work as always

[@tamara.mw.]

This story and it's music will always be very dear to me. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@WeekdayWeekend]

I think I need to replay the series.

[@dr7am.589]

yeah, thats an good idea! you must try it

[@njtruman5861]

Dang, this song still absolutely hits.

[@hanaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

This series is literally my life... Thank you 🥺

[@dominichumlie]

This ebbs and flows like ocean waves, I can see the mist on the window. Thank you for giving me and many others a path to understanding our own sadness and confusion in life. This game was a doorway for my mind to my heart and it led me to Finding Paradise which struck me hard. You explained feelings I've had for many years that I never could describe. Thank you for that, Kan.

[@VantageEmblem]

Such a beautiful soundtrack from such a beautiful, impactful game

[@officialsoulfuzz]

KAN! Hello, can you give me a clue about the release window for The Beach Episode? 🤭

[@kichihoney]

Estoy llorando 😢❤ que hermoso!! La vida es tan efímera... Solo el amor que diste quedará lo demás se hace cenizas

[@icemaster1993]

The memories of this song...😢

[@EmileeAshe]

Like many other people, this game changed my life, and the music continues to get me through even the toughest of days. The love you still show for your games really comes through and its beautiful. To The Moon is eternal. Thanks for loving your games as much as we do 💖

[@lorettabes4553]

This song holds such weight with everything that happens when it plays. Such sadness, peacefullness... emotion

[@DistractedGlobeGuy]

It's been almost half my life at this point since that first SigCorp game showed up and changed the way I saw the world forever, and I still see people discovering it for the first time today and having exactly the same reaction I did back then. It's incredible how something that felt so timely all those years ago still somehow just refuses to become any less potent or hard-hitting with age. It's not just a time capsule of 2011-it's a Ressikan probe, completely immersing even the most clueless players in its story and characters as if it were all built from their own personal experiences.

[@bigmike8586]

Absolutely fantastic, thank you.

[@TheGrades90]

Thanks for sharing, man. Beautiful.

[@nagikokiyohara]

This has been one of my favorite songs in a game ever since the game was released. It's incredible to hear it played. Thanks Kan

[@JinGaster]

just got reminded that i should totally play To The Moon again, i remember first playing it when i was about 11 years old - though it was a little difficult to understand the story then, i grew to love it nonetheless and i followed the stories as i grew up. huge thanks to everyone at freebird games for making such memorable experiences with lovable characters, and i'm so looking forward to whatever comes next!!

[@lavilish]

My love for this game series runs deep. It has been an important part for me for years and years and it’s music still has a grip on me.

[@valeriotosto1028]

my gosh the wait for the animated film is getting painful. Never lost hope tho

[@xaker01minecrafter33]

Hey man!I love u your work and soul you put there.If I don't have such problems as your characters I hope I ll find my own paradise 💓 I love u!

[@kotemiy]

You know how to make something both heartwarming and heartbreaking.

[@Shirokroete]

This is so beautiful it makes me once again replay this masterpiece. also... Kan.... buddy..... what about them movie?

[@xvicio98]

EXACTLY, WHERE IS THE FUCKING MOVIE. It has been 6 years now. I hope... no I know it's worth the wait. if this wasn't a thing I would have said: "I want movies of the to the moon/sigmund corp series, even if I have to wait 10 years" Well now it's time to do our part. But damn I really would like to know why this is taking so long. :(

[@aalr3374]

​@@xvicio98I also still waiting for it... Let's hope for the best tho

[@bobblehead7002]

Amazing as always

[@elizabethk007]

This game still stays close to my heart all those years later.

[@miguelber.536]

Ngl I always thought this piece felt like ocean waves especially when playing To The Moon. Always reminded me of a night where I'm just feeling the ocean waves. This piece got me through especially in those lonely moments and those sad moments in my life. Losing a love one etc. It does remind you if it. I never thought such a piece could have such an impact. Thank you for it.

[@余暴龍]

OMGGGGGGGG! I play to the moon whole night and i can,t stop thinking about it.Really look foward to playing the other two games!!!!!! look forward to the beach season.AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, RIVER is MY WAIFU!!!!!!!1

[@danymoon3553]

Wow, this brings me back. It's very peaceful, and I'm not sure if this is intrinsic to the track itself or how it's used in To The Moon but it gives me a very melancholic feeling

[@BondedgeXD]

I enjoyed this so much Thank you for sharing Kan Gao! Time to replay To The Moon series!

[@DragonXRG]

Thank you, Kan! ♥

[@clumsy_pierrot]

To The Moon means the world to me, it still bring me to tears aften years and years from playing it the first time. You really created such a beautiful, heartwarming story. Thank you, thank you, thank you❤

[@gardenbandaid]

this has always been my favorite track from to the moon, so it's really nice to hear an extended version! thank you for all the wonderful stories and music you've given us through your games... looking forward to the beach ep and anything that comes next

[@supmynameisunknown]

it's music like yours that reminds me why i love videogame music. thank you for sharing such a gorgeous piece. i can imagine calm waves during when the moon is brightest, and the stars are illuminating dark waters 💙

[@kaimukiwahine16]

20 seconds in, already in love! And got hit with the nostalgia of playing the first game and the numerous times I listened to the original track when things became too overwhelming. So much time has passed since To the Moon and now it's a series of games, accompanying comics, a board game, and soon a movie! You and the team should be proud on how far you all have come! Will still be patiently waiting the Beach Episode and the movie.

[@AdoboSoGuud]

this still hits hard 😔😔

[@ristoh1420]

Ahhh, thank you for making this. This is my favourite song from the game and I've been listening to piano covers of it for years. It's such a beautiful piece!

[@StephanieAwesom]

Thank you for this, I always enjoy when I get to revisit this series through it's music so this was a nice 3am surprise. No game is more important to me than To The Moon, it's what helped me appreciate video games as an art and it's part of the reason I am where I am right now, with the dream of creating games myself that others can enjoy. Thank you for creating this series! I'm excited for the finale to the saga as well as the TTM movie, and whatever else you have planned for the future!

[@imdiiiirt]

Thanks for all the great experiences over the years, and the music is excellent as always

Серия To The Moon со мной ещё с 2018 года. Прошло 6 лет с тех пор как я прошёл первую часть, а музыка до сих пор играет в плеере и вызывает тёплые чувства. Меланхолию, грусть и немного мотивации Люблю творчество Kan Gao и студию Freebird Games Спасибо❤

Is it okay if I ask if the film adaptation was cancelled? Or is it eternally delayed? Or still in the middle of development?
