Composer REACTS 😱 SILENT HILL 2 - Promise

[@AtlasBenighted]

Edit: The Nirvana clip was claimed so I had to mute it 😒

[@welcominthehollowdrop]

can i suggest one ost ?

[@jamessunderlandseventh7410]

There are 2 promises in the game, 1 is broken, the other is fulfilled in the good ending

[@ImmaLittlePip]

Also there's a reprised version of it

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

And a third version that's more dreamlike that you get in the beginning when James is reading the letter.

[@adelemarietta1711]

The game was released in 2001 but the story is supposed to take place in the early 1990s, that explains the Nirvana vibes.

[@AtlasBenighted]

Indeed

[@younghollow2663]

Akira yamaoka is a genius, the songs he composed were incredibly nostalgic for me too, but in 2002 he didn't have what completed his compositions, I really wanted to see you react to music of Akira with the Mary Elizabeth McGlynn; these two complete each other perfectly, a great track and a beautiful voice

[@WarrenReport]

You won't want to know what promise was promised...

[@dicenter3932]

What do you mean? Dose this song come from one of the “bad” ending? EDIT:It actually come from Maria ending oh No

[@zetastein6031]

SPOILERS: "You better get rid of that cough"

[@TequilaMockingBird91]

“Promise you’ll take me here again someday, James!

[@nostalium]

What? What promise other than "taking Mary there again some day"?

[@verinenpihvi]

hope you keep listening to more silent hill music. still a lot of good songs out there.

[@AR-bj5et]

One of the best video game tracks out there, from one of the best games out there. Tells such a vivid story.

[@mateus_snw]

If you keep listening to Silent Hill tracks you will notice a lot of common elements on Yamaoka composition. Hope you can hear some track with Mary Elizabeth McGlynn soon, literally the best duo on the Games OST of all.

[@AtlasBenighted]

More Silent Hill will come

[@Sindamsc]

​@@AtlasBenightedthis promise was broken 💔

[@RiverX]

this game is a masterpiece. Promise is one the best (reprise too)

[@Zero_2002_0]

Null moon❤

CLASSIC! Silent Hill music is exceptional!

[@deadlyerick2692]

Next you should try both versions of "Love Psalm", one from the Silent Hill 2 OST and the other is from Silent Hill Book of memories OST.

[@zetastein6031]

im stoked for the hype this kinda game will get again with the remake coming up

[@chunkthepunk2191]

Akira Yamaoka is a musical genius and one of my favorite composers.

[@Borman477]

I wasn't prepared for Radiohead in the end)

[@AtlasBenighted]

Surprise!

[@aramath]

All Silent Hill storyline vibe deep in my soul! Forever!

[@GugureSux]

Literally my ringtone ever since mobile phones started supporting MP3.

[@VelvetAura]

I'd love it if you listened to Promise - Reprise too!

[@nawaf9948]

I think now it's the time to check out , I want love from Silent Hill 3 ( studio mix ) , and Waiting for you from Silent Hill 4

[@fowreeeeeeeel]

Akira Yamaoka is such a master of instruments, i love this song with my whole heart. The fact that Silent Hill 2 is a perfect game, and the fact the soundtrack is literally perfection makes this game amazing, i think it is the best video game ever made.

[@MeryKeit]

I love this game so much I can’t even express it. Also loved your reaction! Thanks for sharing and for the breakdown ❤

[@AtlasBenighted]

My pleasure!!

[@seboyo6766]

James promised Mary that he would take her back to Silent Hill, but she fell ill and died, so he was never able to keep his promise. This song is about their relationship and their tragedy.

[@sorathesapphirestar8107]

Hell yeah! Silent Hill ost at it again🤘

[@jimphilidor9031]

The songs Promise and Laura's Theme don't represent the entire soundtrack. Most of it consist of absolutely terrifying ambient pieces with all kinds of disturbing sounds, and there's also some that are extremely beautiful pieces like True or the haunting White Noiz.

[@gonzalodanielcantero5370]

Akira Yamaoka is a fucking genious!!!

[@lucasbragottob]

For me, this song remembers 18 and life - Skid Row as well

[@ZuLuuuuuu]

I am glad I clicked on these videos, what a great reaction and break down 👍

[@AtlasBenighted]

Thanks mate

[@djaysenpai]

nostalgia hits hard with this song

[@AtlasBenighted]

I can imagine

[@KV-2-i6y]

я любил играть в S. T. A. L. K. E. R. Anomaly под эту музыку, она идеально подходит к этой игре.

" Nos meus sonhos, eu vejo aquela cidade: Silent Hill Você me prometeu que levaria James Mas você nunca levou Eu sentia tanta raiva Mas não se esqueça Você me fez feliz."

[@haneent9102]

Amazing video

[@AtlasBenighted]

Thank you!

[@AtreyusNinja]

I know I'm totally off topic but does anyone know why no one is doing reactions/analysis on the Divinity Original Sin 2 soundtracks? I'm so confused, that game has so many amazing themes that are all incredibly good

[@tothocraft]

More please. Akira Yamaoka is the Best 🙌

[@ozwellespencer955]

Jesus man ....i miss the good old days ....

[@AtlasBenighted]

Don't we all

[@doingtheobvious]

A lot of the soundtrack from Silent Hill 1, 2 & 3 were heavily inspired by the music in Parasite Eve. Give 'Out of Phase' from that game a spin sometime, you'll hear some similarities.

[@mythosinmedia]

You need to listen to the new version from the SH2. It's impressive. It's already on KZbin

[@jajo1402]

I love Silent Hill ❣

[@DrNR-jp6lz]

You really need to do s let's play of silent 1 and 2 friend like seriously

[@adamcolins2223]

This game and soundtrack is awesome.

[@philsam4342]

Do love psalm!

[@vagabundorkchaosmagick-use2898]

Just an idea. Maybe a short where you can compare the tracks you have to mute. As a companion piece, it doesn't matter it's demonetized, we have to watch the comomete video anyway.

[@Zalixor]

Reminds me a little bit of Portishead

[@nickywu9476]

somehow it gives joan osborne "one of us" vibes

[@chasewrubel2853]

Oh, PLEASE hit Theme of Laura from the same game!!!

[@sebastianshades4]

He did Theme of Laura like 2 months ago

[@chasewrubel2853]

@@sebastianshades4 !!! Thank you!

[@NaldinhoGX]

Please stay away from 'Lose Psalm'! HAHAHA! (I'm kidding, go listen to it!).

This just doesn’t feel complete without Promise (reprise)

Thanks+++ MORE SILENT HILL MAN! Angel Thanathos!!!

[@abdullakc]

This song only needed a singer.. yeah nothing is better than 90s rock

[@AtlasBenighted]

True and real

[@gtaIVlord]

​@@AtlasBenighted You might want to listen to "Waiting for You (Live at "Heaven's Night")" from the Silent Hill 4 soundtrack then. Would be nice to hear your thoughts on Silent Hill 1's theme and SH 3"s "Hometown" too.

[@angelmedina223]

@@gtaIVlord Recomended rock band 90s?

[@randomyoutubecommentersecu7639]

Did you end up playing SH2 in the end?

[@3lipalm3r]

Did this guy play the game, because he’s almost quite literally spot on.

[@AtlasBenighted]

I haven't, would like to play the remake

[@gabrieldiaz6678]

Can you react to wainting for you? from Silent Hill 4

[@aaron75fy]

I recommend trying the original game before the remake even if you have to get the broken HD collection for it (though I don't recommend it because of all the visual and audio issues, it'll explain a lot about James Sunderland's mental state during his journey

[@OddballEddie]

Could also go for the Enhanced version on PC it's a massive mod that makes it feel like a professionally made remaster. Best way to play classic SH2 now.

[@aaron75fy]

@@OddballEddie it's also morally and legally questionable (and before you throw out that Konami label is on it bear in mind Gui Cihi never signed off on having his work be on anything other thatn the PS2)

[@OddballEddie]

@@aaron75fy I'm just thinking in a practical terms. When I heard the mod was out, it was quite easy to find the game ISO and set it up. Much easier than using emulators, buying or fixing old hardware, not to mention PS2 era games are increasing in price. So yeah, I acknowledge that it's not the most moral approach, but it is the most practical.

[@aaron75fy]

@@OddballEddie I got the entire PS2 library quite reasonably priced and have a working PS2. what's your excuse?

[@AtlasBenighted]

Yes 🙂

[@GameslordXY]

You say song is broken at the end and yet you decide to break it down. To be Even more broken. Shattered perhaps even🤪
