Does Journey's Music Make EVERYONE Contemplate Their Life?

[@wjamesmci]

Fun Fact about Journey: The soundtrack was nominated in 2013 for a Grammy. (Best score soundtrack for visual media) And while it didn't win, it became the first video game to be nominated for a Grammy award. *That's* how good this soundtrack is!

[@Ingisen]

Another fun fact: The game is officially considered a work of art

[@adrammelech6323]

@@Ingisen While Journey is definitely art the thing you wrote doesn't make much sense. There's no body that announces if something is officially art or not, there's no such thing as "officially considered a work of art". If enough people believe something is art then it is art.

What defines art is resonant expression, and if at least someone, somewhere* finds emotional resonance within a piece of expression, (no matter what form it takes) then it's art. *this can include the author, or exclude them.

The developer's of Journey also developed a game called Sky: Children of Light. I was really into it for a while as it was just so beautiful and the sound design was amazing.

[@Dcmlo]

Which studio/company are these developer from?

[@elfilinamie1326]

@@Dcmlo Sky is free and an absolutely incredible experience, too, in my opinion, so I wholeheartedly recommend checking it out, too, if you'd like to! ^^ It has become one of my 3 favourite games of all time since I started playing it in 2020, and I have so many super special memories of it ^^ It's a really special game, in my opinion!

[@peezieforestem5078]

Also ABZU. Same composer too, similarly beautiful atmosphere.

[@TheSabataish]

My main issue with sky, is that while yes it's a similar or basically the same story, they turned the game more into a money grab. That said, it's still an amazing experience, and has a ton more exploring to it

[@HalNordmann]

Well, half of them. Lot of people behind Journey quit thatgamecompany after it was released (including its creative director), and founded Giant Squid Studios. Both parts still make good games

[@yenyerkun]

Journey is one of the videogames you just don't get tired of. You know it's a simple game you finish it in like 1 hr, but the design, the colors, the story, the music... everything fit so perfectly in harmony. Journey is a therapeutical videogame and I will die on this hill

[@emeraldknight2820]

This song makes me tear up every time. It reverberates is my heart and mind each time I hear it. A song of triumph, from the moment we burst through the storm to the very end of our journey. I remember my first time hearing this and it's stuck with me ever since. I'm happy I've experienced Journey.

[@reaperofthings]

1:30 when you crest the storm clouds and finally see the absolutely gorgeous mountaintop that you’d been fighting so hard to reach, it’s enough to make a man sob. Even thinking about that magical moment from two years ago makes me tear up. There is no game quite like Journey, and it’s soundtrack turns it from a great game to a masterpiece. Edit: and 6:15 as you enter the mountain’s peak, alone or with your companion, it’s truly incredible. The song hits different both ways. With, you and your companion found what you were looking for, together. As you walk into that light, you were not alone. But if you lost your companion, it becomes a very sorrowful piece. You made it, but what about the people that stood with you, that helped you reach where you are now? What about the people *you* helped. Did they make it? Or are they stuck down below, searching for a way to the lofty peak you have reached, slowly freezing to death. I’m crying as I write this, and that, in my honest, true opinion, is the mark of a true video game experience

[@zyliantheviking6016]

I won't lie that hit me harder than I expected and brought me to tears. It has been years since I played Journey but I still remember it fondly, the game is so damn simple yet it just pulls you in so easily and makes it truly feel like a, well, journey to whatever goal you may have, the mountaintop in this case. After the first quarter of the game I was either crying or tearing up through the rest of it, there's just something about it that pierces straight to your heart and makes you feel so much emotion, it's amazing and so many game designers could learn from it just how important immersion and emotion are in making a game worth remembering.

[@babygeige]

At Magfest several years ago Austin Wintory conducted a chamber orchestra playing the Journey soundtrack live while the game was played onstage. One of the best things I've seen live. It was such a neat experience.

[@piyaroq8189]

The moment this song is over, it is followed by "I was born for this" at the game credits. Cue more water works right after that. 👍 Glad to see you and many people enjoy this song. 😇 Have a nice week. 👋

[@AMTRAX]

The section at around 4:24 gives me chills every time, and the climax of that section at 4:36 with the strings sweeping up to that highest note makes me cry consistently. One of the most beautiful, haunting, uplifting, motivating, gut-wrenching pieces of music I have ever heard, and that section is easily one of my fav musical moments of all time.

[@Kikkia2018]

I remember back when Journey first came out and everyone was playing it so the multiplayer was always a thing. I loved the fact that you might find another player on this single player journey but you can’t talk to them, only spam one button to say like “over here!” and they’re in the credits as well

[@neonnoir9692]

Almost always, people would run together to draw a heart in the sand at the very end.

[@tycobur199]

Journey holds a special place in my heart. I have had the chance to speak with Austin a couple of times for some lengthy conversations about his career and music as a way to tell stories. He has stated that it's both an honor and a shame that this score was the first video game soundtrack to be nominated for an academy award, since so much great music has been overlooked before his. He talks about how awards and recognition should never be your end goal in creative pursuit, but a new ground level to improve upon. Such a great score, one that he wrote, in part, to be a cello concerto for his friend Tina Guo, the performer, to really bring her skills to the front and center. Both are really great inspirations of mine as a cellist and an indie composer.

[@roycelang1977]

Journey was the first game I played so the nostalgia in this video hits like a truck

[@krystallnord4801]

Have never played the game, but this music is top notch. Journey, Ori, and Gris have some of the most deeply emotional music out there. I love that you react and give in depth analysis on such a wide range of game music. It's made me want to play so many new games. Journey is at the top of the list.

[@Xanatrix]

It's a fitting name for a track. Apotheosis is the process by which a mortal ascends to godhood and immortality. It's an uplifting process, and in many myths, the journey to and through apotheosis is hard and heavy, with much toil, leaving a weary mortal at the steps of godhood to crawl up it ever so slowly if only they can continue to pull themselves, one halting step at a time, into the land of immortality. And that is what that final sequence of Journey feels like.

[@cipher66th88]

Gosh I remember this game. It really is an experience, not a game in the traditional sense. Pure artistic emotion. I remember one of my playthroughs I was with the same person the whole time, another traveler, and I had to put the game down for a while to do something. When I came back, he/she was still there, sitting next to my character waiting for me. And this is like a 30-45 minute wait. It was magical. I felt touched.

[@elfilinamie1326]

Aww, that's super cool! That's really special. That's what Sky: Children of the Light feels like, to me, and I still really want to play Journey sometime, too ^^ I've heard, and am 100% sure it is, that it's a masterpiece, as Sky is, to me, too!

[@nevolence]

Journey and Shadow of the Colossus. The two most unforgettable gaming experiences I've ever had ever.

[@FlinchFox]

SOTC is a game I can handle replaying over and over. Journey is just another emotional beast altogether XD

[@samy29987]

100% agree. I would gladly add The Last Guardian to that list as well.

[@SoulessStranger]

Honestly, sometimes when life seems just too hard and bleak I start Journey and play through. It always feels like my soul got cleansed and restored a little bit. This game is beyond a masterpiece both visually, musically and thematically.

[@Chas-OTE]

I feel like I comment this on every Apotheosis react video I see, but, much like the game itself, this song is arguably one of the best, most purely emotional music experiences I've ever had. Journey was truly something special and it doesn't feel like an exaggeration to say that I doubt I'd ever experience a game like that again.

[@Voitan]

I always tear up when I hear this soundtrack. It's my belief we died on that mountain side, and Apotheosis is our soul shedding from its body, lifting up from death's dark limbo, and roaring up into the heavens, before we break through the dark storm clouds of our demise, and into the sunlight of heaven.

[@urandaleo7495]

The whole scene for Apotheosis makes this one of the most beautiful sequences in video games, IMO, the music just fits perfectly and doesn't even feel like BGM, it's part of the experience, part of the Journey to the summit

[@Hreisz]

Playing Journey at launch unspoiled was experience like no other. The OST to this day is one of my most played albums of all time by far, and a decade later I still struggle to find anything quite like it. Nascence's cello specifically enraptured my entire soul

[@samy29987]

Journey is like nothing else out there. It's an experience and this piece certainly conveys and illustrates that. There is another emotional aming experience called, The Last Guardian. It's music also converys a lot of emotion, although different from the one in Journey. Highly recommend it, both the game and the soundtrack. Great video!

[@hollowknight6438]

This 1( or 2) hour master piece of a game made me reflect on every aspect of my life...and this song in particular made me really apreciate BGM's more... And absolutely beautiful experience....

[@jcbq01]

This song. To this day, is one of the few tracks to actually make me openly cry. To this day I have no idea why, all I know was going through the game I get to that point and I'm am wiping thr tears away asking self why am I crying. Its OST is a masterpiece of emotion and stands the test of time

[@dashiellgillingham4579]

I listened to a few compositions people had made for ancient songs like “Lament for Gilgamesh,” and as soon as I listened to this, I knew. I knew why Journey sounded like me. Like the Deluge and the return. Like the Exodus and the return. Like the Burning of our Temple and the return. Like our diaspora and what always follows. This was composed in the mood of the Levant, a halfway place between the endless power of Egypt and the inevitable endings of Mesopotamia, and a place my bedtime stories never stopped sounding like.

[@toddhoward5555]

When the music hits the 4:35 mark that sort of dissonant sound the strings make as they soar always felt like it signified the turning point from doubt to determination. As if a breakthrough was discovered and now we cruise for the rest of the ride. Love it!

[@FlinchFox]

I can only play this game once in a blue moon because of how it leaves me feeling in the end. This game guts me to my core and leaves me a mess until the end. It's so unbelievably raw that I'd be shocked if it didn't leave anyone who played it an emotional wreck afterwards.

[@rebmakash8539]

The beginning again, as you put it, helped me through the loss of a long-time friend. This game is very important to me in many ways, because of just that. I might recommend trying Abzu and The Pathless. Austin Wintory did the music for both, and they both also have the same creative director as Journey, Matt Nava. The music is powerful in different ways, but similarly important.

[@eijunmizutsune4672]

YES! Ive been waiting for you to react to the music from Journey

[@LazzyVamples]

Oh man, Marco. I literally thought about recommending this just YESTERDAY because I realized that you never did react to this. journey's soundtrack as a whole--but Apotheosis in particular--is a modern masterpiece. It remains the only track that can make me cry just from listening to it and I don't mean I get a little misty-eyed. No, I freaking WEEP when I hear it. I'm writing this before even watching the video and I can't wait to hear what you have to say about it.

[@corn8871]

I play Journey everytime I feel sad or lonely. It's one of the few games I can stand to play in its entirety in one go, and one of the few I play with headphones on; usually I play games without the audio and put on a podcast or a video while playing, but for Journey I don't. The soundtrack is just such a massive part of it that I can't bear not to listen to it as I travel; I've played it around 30 times or more, and still cry everytime me and my travel companion for the session reach the end. The way it ramps up as we glide down the dunes, the way it lingers as we explore the sea like structures near the end, the ascent in the tower, the ascent to the mountain, this music immerses me and drags me in. This music is incredible, and one of the things that can get me out of shutdowns when I'm not well. This music means so much to me, just like the game, so I thank you for listening to it and reacting to it. I hope you have a good day.

[@Zero-tk1hb]

I knew this game for a very long time but never really gave a chance because i was young. Now i'm a older and more and more i find myself getting atracted to stories that are more poetic and contemplative. Your channel is really a gem.

[@Sauraen]

I'm glad you said you knew this song well--this is basically the most relevant song for your channel. And, I don't think it's about new beginnings or possibility--it's the opposite. Fulfillment, completion. The Traveler getting to experience the fullest version of themself, nothing between them and their goal, and then quietly reaching it.

[@MagicalMedic]

Journey did and always will make me cry. Every time I come back to it, I experience it fresh.

[@avaridge2962]

The company that makes this game also has one called Sky: Children of Light. The game has beautiful music and honest to god, it was hard to put down. I was riveted to the screen. And the story. Oh man. The game is just really hard to put into words.

[@VioletShinobi]

Some of the music from Ori: And the blind forest and Ori: and the will of the wisps, is very similar. The amount of emotion that the tracks have in combination with the way everything plays out on screen can only be done in games. Its one thing to watch a movie... but with games its so much different because its almost like you're LIVING the things happening on screen.

[@andreas4631]

Did you know that Austin Wintory released an album this year with a complete reimagined score of Journey together with the London Symphony Orchestra. It's worth a try and you can listen to it for free on his YT channel.

[@MarcoMeatball]

Gonna!!

[@LazzyVamples]

I watched the video now. You and I pretty much got into it in the same way while listening. But what you said about the track really struck a cord with me. Because to answer the question in your title: yes, it did make me contemplate my life. I first played Journey when it came out and it was a very important part of my life. Not long after, I made a choice to walk down a new path that would change my life and from there I started a decade of self-discovery and growth. This track was the soundtrack of that decade for me and I came back to it very often. Aside from its masterful composition, this track's sentimental value to me is unfathomable. And I am certain that I am not the only one who feels that way--this is one of those rare tracks that truly can just resonate with a person's soul to a degree that not many can. You may already know this, but for the ten year anniversary of this game, Mr. Wintory did a reorchestration of many of the tracks from the game, including this one. If you have not listened to it, I implore you to do so because he managed to take this wonderful soundtrack and lift it to even higher heights. The whole thing is here on youtube, just search for "Traveler - a journey symphony." The youtube video also has commentary from Mr. Wintory. Listening to it feels like hearing it for the first time again.

Journey is... quite literally a journey, in both senses of the word. The music is but a cog in the beauty that is the game. I'll forever regret not being able to actually play it myself, but i've cried enough times just by watching OTHER people play it, so that should give you a measure of what this game can offer.

[@caparashon]

Marco, I followed your channel for the Genshin videos just like a lot of people, but I want to say that I hope you continue reacting and analyzing this kind of introspective, soulful game music as well. Two days ago I watched your A Beautiful Song video since Nier Automata's OST is one of my favorite of all time, and I didn't expect how personal your interpretation and feelings on that piece were. It was a pleasant surprise to see that side of you. I think this is another of those songs and analyses. Journey is another game and soundtrack that are special to me and now I feel emotional again with your words and the comment section, remembering my first playthrough. My companion was only with me for half of the playthrough and I got lost in the snow but I continued, in awe of the part where we soar above the clouds free from attachments. It was pure happiness under the sun after that awful mountain. And when I reach the threshold at the summit, I found them again and I was able to walk until the end together. Everytime I listen to Apotheosis I feel again that joy of flying free and unbound followed by a melancholy for the kindness of a stranger who waited for me. Sigh, I feel like playing it again! Maybe I will tomorrow

Especially when everything at work is spiraling downwards again, I just turn on this music and drown out the noises around me. Also I can recommend the ABZÛ and The Pathless soundtracks, also both by Austin Wintory. They may not have the same feeling like the Journey soundtrack, but they help me get through stressful days and boost my creativity nonetheless!

Welcome to the club! Journey's fans are a lovely bunch.

[@RoPlay]

Journey was the first game I played during the start of the pandemic. It had been years since I’ve played a video game and needed something to distract myself from all the hard and sudden stay-at-home academic work. I didn’t knew anything about it. I was going myself through a personal journey and…this game made me face my fears and pain, in silence. It also made me face my past and the unnecessary guilt that came with it. That one can face the other side after a hard fight, that one can learn and atone and still make it to the other side and find purpose and peace (embodied in “Atonement” and “Apotheosis”). That, and much more was my lesson from Journey and it’s beautiful soundtrack. It holds such a special place to me that I go back to it every now and then, when I need to be gentle and kind with the struggles of life and its dynamics.

Journey will always be a very special game for me. I didn't play it myself, but I remember that evening when I was alone at home, and one of my favorite youtube channels uploaded a letsplay of this game. I watched it and it was a true journey of soul. Emotional and heartbreaking. It still makes me cry. I would like to recommend you another soundtrack, which is also very beautiful and seems to me somewhat similar to Journey ost (from my unprofessional point of view OFC :) ) GRIS ost by Berlinist. And maybe you would be interested in Sky: Children of the Light ost. Sky is created by thatgamecompany too, and it's main plot and idea are the same as Journey's. The difference is that Sky has multiplayer. Waltzing in the Rain is so beautiful. And Flight, which plays at the last part of the game (moment of Apotheosis in Journey).

In this game everything is essential to the experience they tried to convey, music just as much as visuals and gameplay. The music is almost like a wordless narrator to this tale.

Journey's music reminds me a little about Rimé ❤ Both soundtracks make my soul dance and laught and love and cry and be angry and still enjoing both games! I would love to know what you may thing about the music in Rimé ❤

Journey is one of those small games that shine among the giants of the industry. It's up there with the best and i'm so glad it's on PC now.

Journey's soundtrack is gorgeous but personally I'm more partial to Gris' soundtrack, it's absolutely beautiful and it's what I listen to, to calm my nerves whenever I feel anxious or stressed

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the piece "Battlestar Operatica" and other songs from Mcreary's Battlestar Galactica soundtrack.

I played it a long time ago, visually it is beautiful and the music makes you reflect a lot about life
