Having enjoyed Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, and sunked hundreds of hours on Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2, I have been closely watching Larian Studio's Baldur's Gate 3's development. I have been so hyped then that the game has been getting rave reviews all around! Here's my first time reaction listening to some songs from the Baldur's Gate 3 soundtrack including "Weeping Dawn", "Nightsong" and "Twisted Force".

[@StringPlayerGamerOfficial]

Just uploaded my own cover of Weeping Dawn, symphonic metal style! Watch it now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6uZZ4iDhquVf5I

[@Dolosify]

When Twisted Force plays you know youre in for a fight and actually have to sit up 😂

[@Jokervision744]

Everything is allowed. Nothing is to be excluded.

[@tutturankamon]

may i add "shit just got serious" music?

[@krios4141]

Twisted Force is my fave track

[@illzzu]

Don't forget Sixteen Strikes! Although it plays when you defeat an enemy.

[@ReeceyBoii960]

Barrelmancy time

[@TheZealo]

The Nightsong plays at a super beautiful and emotional scene, its just perfection.

[@StringPlayerGamerOfficial]

I have just reached that part of the game, absolute perfection.

[@kahinaloren]

@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial Something wrong with me. Just listening to it here in your vid, makes me teary eyed. lol.

[@StringPlayerGamerOfficial]

Music is magical.

[@HooverDyson]

@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial oh you play the game too? i cried a little when first saw that scene

[@rhydondaddy]

@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial Here is the scene this music goes with kzbin.info/www/bejne/roazhZp_YpxobLs starting at ~03:32 for Nightsong

[@chrisirwin6913]

The Weeping Dawn was the last song my partner played before he passed away. It seemed perfect that it will always remind me of our 26 years of friendship.

[@skywillfindyou]

That's intense.

[@bonthebunnycat667]

Aw man I cried reading your comment, I hope you're okay...

[@Vexillarii]

My condolences, I hope it will remain a beautiful reminder.

[@chrisirwin6913]

Thank you all. It's been tough, but I have support.

[@Allucards]

🤩

[@HooverDyson]

The weeping down gets more credits because in the game, when the singer trying the "create" this song, she song it terribly, then after you help her with her pain she finished the song and it's beautiful...

[@StringPlayerGamerOfficial]

Yes, I have seen the cutscene when playing it. Perfection.

[@KaitN9]

I would also advise to speak with the squirrels nearby for some funny comments/interactions.

[@StringPlayerGamerOfficial]

@@KaitN9 Yup, this is a Larian trope I already know of.

[@attonrands]

You also can help her with the lyrics/instruments if you play as a Bard, which was really cute to me

[@KaitN9]

@@attonrands Even without being a Bard actually. It is how I got proficient with Instruments on my... Rogue X)

[@yamilcid9823]

twisted force is such a piece, so oppressive and ominous, completely in love

[@joshholmes1372]

Truly. It actually reminds me of the feel I got the first time the halo battle music played. Just much darker/ominous. One part scared, one part pumped, but I don't think I can think of another piece that made me have THAT type of feel.

[@Ethan_Wheeler]

When ever Twisted Force plays, it gives the same feeling of *_"We in this shit now!"_* as a DM saying *_"Roll Initiative"_*

[@Aeolusdallas]

The whole sequence in the game where the bard sings weeping dawn is stunning.

[@StringPlayerGamerOfficial]

Facts

[@bixusmaleficus]

Can't believe I finally found someone who feels music as intensely as I do. It fills me with so much emotion that it feels like my small human body can't contain it. It was wonderful to watch you experience these emotions. The pleasure you feel is almost palpable.

[@wlpxx7]

I feel the same way! No shame in admitting I've cried to a majority of Baldurs Gate Songs lmao

[@bixusmaleficus]

I cry to a majority of them every time I hear them. They touch my soul and my heart in a way that few things do.@@wlpxx7

[@C4MG1RL]

Twisted Force literally plays whenever Larian has an encounter that's going to be monsters or hard. Same with Legacy of Bhaal

[@hinehi111]

The entire OST of Baldur's Gate is a masterclass in soundtracks!~ So glad you're exploring the tracks, and I hope to see a part 3~

[@arcade7273]

I LOVE how they used the strings in this game. They sound tortured and scratched, pulled and beaten but it make for such unique and awesome tracks

[@Oswanov]

I just love Twisted Force. Probably the one piece of music in the game that I listen to at least once or twice every day, beyond hearing it when I play the game a bunch too lol

[@DiscardLogic]

Running into The Weeping Dawn during my first playthrough was such a blessing. I hadn't played the early access so I had no idea it was there but I like to fully explore areas and naturally ran into it. The conversation and the eventual starting of the cutscene were just a wonderful thing to discover.

[@zenith110]

Nightsong, complete in the moment of the story where it takes place, completely stunned me. Incredible.

[@kitmonroe]

My heart was racing and I was tearing up. That moment in the game is magnificent.

[@AS-fl8uh]

me too

[@SimianWonder]

"I am resplendent!"

[@SuggestiveHappyFace]

chills all over my entire body. especially when she says "I am resplendent." i wanted to cry lol

[@dozrFAB]

Nightsong is so impactful when you hear it for the first time during its scene.

[@herosshade2247]

13:34 always catches me off guard. It feels so unnatural, but in a good way. I genuinely can't tell where the voices stop and the strings start. What a chilling effect.

[@PBRatLord]

The entire scene with Alfira was so powerful, the sentiment of Weeping Dawn, that lost potential to give back to those who provided for you, it's not something touched on often in media and hit me like a punch to the gut.

[@asanoiaz]

I love your wide-eyed expressions at the start of the songs. Because that's exactly how I reacted and felt when hearing them in-game. 😆

[@epli72]

Your wonderful facial expressions here are giving me almost as much positive energy as the music itself :D Very valuable commentary imo

[@StringPlayerGamerOfficial]

Wow, thank you!

[@willdrivesu7914]

110% agree with this. I love how your depiction of what you think the song is depicting is so accurate to the scene they're playing in.

[@OnyxheartWolf]

Nightsong is practically a religious experience when played with the scene its from considering you're freeing a child of a god, possessed of a shard of divinity, it's not too far off FROM a religious experience plus, being a sapphic myself, to find out later she's a lesbian and reunites with her lost love, this song means so much to me

[@leotheliongames]

I’m late to the bg3 bandwagon, but I somehow managed to avoid spoilers, and seeing Aylin and Isobel reunite was such a moment, it’s so raw and pure

[@Gr33nOfGrundleburg]

The best thing about the combat songs in this game is that there are heroic versions that the music can transition to when you defeat an enemy, turning the tide of battle in your favor. Look up Enemy Down, you won't be disappointed.

[@kjkj128]

please do a full length version of what you did for Twisted Force I BEG, it sounded SO COOL and gave the song a complete different flavour

[@jcdenton2187]

I second this!!

[@TTHBLOX_]

​@@jcdenton2187 Third!!

[@Setzer]

Just watching his eyes get huge as he really TAKES IN the music is so fun and makes me giggle.

[@loneirregular1280]

You covered two of my fav pieces in this video. A note for Twisted Force is that the first 50 seconds or so are like a perfect musical display of "descent into madness / battle frenzy" IMO

[@faithcael5703]

Glad to see a part 2 of this, i am absolutely in love with your reactions and analysis of this soundtrack. Ive been listening to it for about 7 days straight now

[@user-mc5tz3op2e]

I'm floored how you describe nightsong without playing it and many of your points are so close to spot on. You sir are amazing and i really hope you play through the game.

[@firefox3187]

When I hear Twisted Force, I always want to hear The Hu start singing with it.

[@adalbert7636]

I love your enthusiasm and passion for music. And parts when you play along withe song are always beautiful. There is still a lot of excellent music in Baldur's Gate 3. Hope to see more on your channel!

[@Pringolier]

Weeping Dawn is such a beautiful song, the background sounds building up into an epic piece always gets me. Nightsong is also one of my favorites, very nice video as always :) Hope you've also started playing the game and are enjoying it!

[@rexxidakuma2633]

The Nightsong became one of my most favorite game songs ever and you really managed to make it even a little better than it already is, wow!

[@thesongoflunch]

The power of Nightsong is in combination with what happens in the game it's actually become one of my favorite game moments! That whole track evokes so much

[@RonnieRoseSt]

I love what you add to the soundtrack so much!!! It's just pure fun listening to your additions, def something i always look forward to ♥♥

[@StringPlayerGamerOfficial]

Yay, thank you so much!

[@LuisTY]

I have to say, nightsong is one of my favourite parts of the game so far ❤ the escene is just... wonderful Oh and Twisted force is one of my favourite songs too!

[@leescott3138]

This channel was in my feed and I love when you add your own sound the musics! So cool! Subscribed!

[@thespianmask8451]

Amazing analysis of the songs! "Twisted Force" has so much weight to it that it's my go-to song for serious D&D battles where there are some big, BIG stakes where failure can lead to catastrophic consequences. I never thought "Nightsong" could be used in a moment other than when I heard it from the game, but the band of warriors led by an elven shaman priestess is such good imagery for it.

[@Excele3489]

Weeping dawn and nightsong are in my top 3 favourite! Great reaction keep it up 👍 Loved your reaction when your heard the first drum in nightsong 😁

[@Insertnamesz]

Love these reactions dude, you are amazing on those strings. Glad you're playing the game and still putting these out. So awesome.

[@JaelleSG]

I love how you felt all the emotionality behind the Nightsong-Music without actually knowing, what's happing during it in the game... and your feeling between the lines and interpreting the music on it's own nailed it... eventhough it's not the elven priestress at the front of an army... :) I'm in tears every time I'm singing along with it...

[@fridaohman5974]

I am DELIGHTED to see another reaction of yours. It's just wonderful seeing people enjoying the craft that goes into this music. 😄

[@timmytrance82]

'Nightsong' really hit me in the feels - so I loved seeing how delighted you seemed to be as it moved along.

[@RichtheurYggdrasillMusic]

Hi SPG! The Weeping Down knocked me out! It's INCREDIBLE! It's so harmonious, so sweet, it really brings out the fantasy world in which the game is set. The song reminds me of a tale told to children, like an old legend guiding the hero and his companions to a treasure. For Nightsong, it makes me imagine that our heroes arrive in a town that has been struck by a strange disease, and that our heroes are motivated to want to save it and restore it to its former glory. Wow, for Twisted Force, I wasn't expecting that! The piece makes me imagine a fairly important fight to advance the story, the boss would have several combat phases. And an excellent video as always!

[@lewd2851]

Nightsong reminding you of restoring something to its former glory is super accurate

[@edwardking9359]

​@lewd2851 Not to mention, they literally described the plot of act 2 entirely, lol

[@elo6066]

I hope Borislav sees this one too!! Another amazing video. You are such a joy to watch!!

[@mx.menacing]

I love everything that you added to them, it adds a lot to the music and makes it very melodical.

[@sonoffalco3773]

jesus the harmony with twisted force and your violin sent chills

[@galeatemyboots]

i love these videos, especially when you come in with your own instruments! c:

[@Acrylescent]

After the last video I was hoping you’d listen to Nightsong because your violin add ons are sooo amazing. I was not disappointed.

[@cyclic1322]

More of this please!! Keep reacting to Baldurs gate 3 tracks!! I love this type of content

[@consolescrub4031]

Got to admit, he was pretty much onto it with the Nightsong analysis. It's a moment I think everyone should go through once.

[@lejandrofortuna3427]

twisted force for me conveys danger and confusion in battle. its perfect.

[@Pyroific]

13:54 i love that dissonance you played, it fits so nicely

[@starmeasures0881]

Awesome video! Also love REALLY good Cazador outfit!

[@josemiguelparedes3620]

Im glad to found your channel by accident, I really enjoy your reactions❤

[@guitarmama06]

And to think I *almost* missed the Weeping Dawn. Dude! Your playing adds a whole new level of awesomeness to the music. Subscribing. Now.

[@Rezorrand]

Wow, you got it so close with the analysis for the Nightsong, ties so well with the scene too.

[@rileyshugart2808]

Hot damn, that lil diddy ya performed in Nightsong was fantastic. Had to replay that a few times

[@ethanhorn6093]

I come here for reactions and musical accompaniments. I have watched a majority of your back log since that first BG3 video and have tried to like and comment on all of them (only when I think the comment might be interesting) ... and yeah... I love the improvisation you do with your wonderful violin... and you're obviously as passionate about doing music as I am listening to it. So, thank you for your work and reactions!

[@ethanhorn6093]

I wrote this before I got to Twisted Force... and I actually like your accompaniment with it as much as if not more so than the song (and the song is INCREDIBLE!)

[@Dabo2321993]

I'm so freakin' late to the party as always xD Great video, i actually made myself a small loop of when you played along to the nightsong, the song was soothing before but this added so much to that feeling

[@Mesterlock]

Love your reaction, great video!

[@omegapanda9980]

Omg im mezmirised by your additions to the music; im getting goosebumps! subscribed

[@heyboss3163]

I just found this channel, I already enjoy the content. Keep up the good work👍

A video game hasn't had this effect on me ina while, especially the music... Such a good soundtrack; gives me goosebumps, glad you enjoy it!!

[@StringPlayerGamerOfficial]

Couldn't agree more!

[@nezfromhki]

The combination of beautiful voices and brutal drums as you called them is so very fitting for Nightsong when you know what it is actually referring to.

[@KingKFool]

I love how after you finish each song, you sauce it up with your own style 🫶

[@miafiolekova5817]

I love the Keyleth statue on the desk :D

[@limbytes]

Another beautiful reaction. Thank you! I hope this continues

[@Exodus12341]

The end game of act 2 has to be one of my favorites. The Nightsong, the Nightsong area, the fights, General Thorm. Just wow

[@rorymkirk]

Love the BG3 music reviews! And my god, they need to hire you for strings on any expansion content. Would dearly love you to include The Power if you do another BG3 music review, it’s my favourite piece of music in the whole game.

[@TheSoapbox77]

Your Violin additions..... "Iceing on the cake"... Excellent review.

[@jamiedavies3810]

Twisted Force is one of my favorite battle themes. Ive played a lot of RPGs with some epic music, but this song is something else. I was floored the first time I heard and was like: What in the hells WAS THAT?! A spectacular piece, truly awesome!

[@Kriskat6]

When I helped the bard with the Weeping Dawn it became a favorite. This song resonates. I am reminded of my father who passed away more then 20 years ago.

[@vegasbarbie]

My dad passed in December 2022 so it was relatively recent when I first heard this song in game. It hits me right in the heart. All the things I wish I could tell him but can’t. I tear up every time I hear it.

[@user-zf9we6sf1h]

You’ve got the most wonderful smile my man. Lights up the room. I mean to give credit not come on. I love watching your reactions. They seem genuine and appreciative from an informed/master position.

[@user-zf9we6sf1h]

Also love your band music-wanted more of your violin!!

[@Khono]

I love seeing you enjoy the music so much :)

[@GalopaWXY]

LOVE seeing your eyes widen at every twist

[@Firamiel]

BG3 music is just amazing. I just played the part where we meet Alfira two days ago and that felt magical. Great playing and analysis of this OST!! 🎉

[@StringPlayerGamerOfficial]

Thank you so much Fira!

[@iLona.ivanova]

Thank you so much for what you said about my singing in the song! 💗 Huge compliment! And the song itself is one of my favorites of the game.

[@Vzzyxz]

Sir you must do a Full violin cover of Twisted force, that little bit you played at the end gave me chills, so perfect

[@OldManMoko]

Nightsong is my favorite so far, really, when it drops, it drops at a crazy time, the context is amazing, and the cinematic is superb.

[@stephaniepeters2590]

I love how that central theme comes back in most of the music pieces - and how it can change character with the changes in instrumentation and key

[@ProfessorWhooves11]

I still get chills whenever I hear Nightsong.

[@WolfDarkrose]

The weeping dawn. Seriously after only an hour of game time and then finding this. I literally broke down in a mixture of joy and tears. Weeping dawn is amazing. Masterpiece. Takes alit to get emotional over music and this just punches you in the gut

[@Ssecave]

Love how you can see the chills with the Nightsong well... song xD. Such a great moment !

[@ashleypreim9014]

I listened to Nightsong before hearing it in game and when you understand the context and listen afterwards…chills.

[@ThereWasATime]

YAY! Thank you for another one! Have a great melodic day! 🥰

[@Thebuzzer1]

I need to learn how to play like you 8:20 Such beauty and dedication to your talent! Keep it up!

[@TheCreepypro]

I love that in a year of great video games with great soundtracks this game and its music was able to stand toe to toe with all them with how great its music is! thank you for helping us appreciate it even more!

[@sirfishalot6782]

Well, ask and ye shall recieve :D thank you for your take on the nightsong, you pretty much nailed it :D

[@Sacred_Korok69]

When i first heard the nightsong in game, i was just in awe! Its just sooo, so beautiful and EPIC! It really fits the scene. Every time i listen to it, i just get goosebumps! Same for the harpy song and down by the river Also your take on how you imagine what happens while hearing it is almost perfectly spot on👌🏻 love your explanations

[@joaopaulol.189]

Twisted Force is excellent for the boss encounters since it passes such a heavy vibe of facing something immensely powerful. But Alfira's song Weeping Dawn is so damn good, specially hearing the lyrics with attention it's a farewell song for her teacher who died, it's such a good mixture of sadness and hope.

[@Mordring]

Music is such a powerful tool. You can tell the entire story with it. The solemn but hopeful bliss of Weeping Dawn, the confident preparation for battle of Nightsong, the struggles of Twisted Force. You don't even need to know the game's plot to recognise what's happening in those moments.

[@cbegley3591]

Yay! youre back! I think you need to record yourself playing the game and certain moments these pieces play during the game so we can see your reaction to them and also we can see your reaction to how accurate your ideas about the scenes were. Once again I really enjoyed your reactions!

[@SuperExplosivegames]

Raphael's Final Act was by far my favorite, first time in a long time a song in a game not only made me laugh but hyped me up big time.
