Great analysis, but don't let this beautiful piece of music overshadow the fact that we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.

Same, while red war probably wasn't the BEST campaign, it was better than the first campaign of D1, but the music in the mission, really did set the mood for it, and experiencing it for the first time was amazing, same with the 1AU mission, and hearing battlestations playing as you walk onto the outside of the almighty with the sun burning you as you step out into cover to hide, and the whole shutting down the weapon, and escape part, and then hearing journey again but far more intense than the first, was the best moments of red war, the greatest parts, that I will always remember, even if I started playing during shadowkeep, it was, an experience, no words for me to describe how I felt about it

On one day as I was playing the game, my father had a heart attack and that was the last day I saw him alive. He died in my arms. This song helped me process the grief from that. I couldn't play the game much longer after that, but for what it's worth, it really helped me emotionally.

Red War was about you losing everything, and fighting to take it back. Being told you were nothing, having everything stripped from you, and clawing your way through insurmountable odds anyway to prove that you were more than what you were given, and would never be alone even in defeat. There is always another fight to win.

[@Raso_AC]

the fact the any new lights joining the struggle against the darkness now will never experience this mission is honestly sad. Having to sneak through the city after the Cabal attack, with no light, the tower destroyed, no idea who is even alive, with this enhancing the the atmosphere of "what just even happened?" was a first play through moment I'll never forget.

Great analysis as always, very on point. Golden age has ended through a catastrophe called The Collapse, and the remains of humanity come together in the Last City under the protection of immortal Guardians. Blessed by the Light of the Traveller, ancient god from before time, we defend the City from incarnations of Darkness itself, persevering through unimaginable odds. When you read the premise of Destiny it's fucking badass, man, and music complements that a lot. Rendition of this track by Game Music Collective is pretty great as well. There's more amazing music in Destiny too. Major recommendations would be Deep Stone Lullaby and Grasp of Avarice theme.

Destiny 2 was the first FPS I've ever played. My brother kinda forced me into it, but when I started, I heard the beautiful music in the background, and I was hooked. I still play even today, though not nearly as much.

[@philipbrackett443]

4:06 oh man. I remember when this part first kicked in during the last mission of the Red War campaign. The game would match you with other players--other Guardians--to assault the Cabal defenses. So you had to work together with complete strangers to get past this part of the mission. Knowing that the other players were hearing the same music and (maybe) feeling the same goosebumps you were--it was such a cool moment. Only thing that's come close since then was the final story mission from Season of the Lost. Good times, man

[@yeetyah403]

Even though I’ve played since the beta of d1, this is the song I will remember thinking back to the beginning of playing this game. And I expect to also keep it in mind for when this all comes to an end. A perfect piece of music, nothing resembles the path of a guardian quite like this does.

[@Airfay15]

I FOUND IT FREAKING FINALLY I've been going through your whole YT channel to find this ha ha My personnal favorite Destiny 2 piece, juste beautifull, charming, epic, and god knows how sad we all felt while playing the intro...

[@InsomniacDoggo]

There is a song by Regina Spektor called "The Call" that I think says explicity the emotions that Journey conveys. the song starts with: "It started out as a feeling, which then grew into a hope, which then turned into a quiet thought, which then turned into a quiet word. Then that word grew louder and louder, till it was a battle cry." its about how change is difficult but not something to be afraid of.

[@allmachtigerbuchsenschuh8987]

Journey has and probably always will be my absolute favorite Destiny Song ever. It's just start to finish altogether awesome. This song ALWAYS moves me. And will be one of the reasons why I will never really quit or forget Destiny. Be that my time playing Destiny 1 or all the moments I returned and peeked at the new stuff in Destiny 2.

Oh, I was wondering when you would react do Destiny's music, they are so good; Well, keeping withing the theme of "emotinal space opera" I recomend "This it what you are" from Warframe (btw they also have gorgeous songs) and "Rosalina's Storybook Theme" from Super Mario Galaxy, both have such powerfull contexts where they are played just like Destiny's Journey, and of course these contexts are huge spoilers in their games. Anyways, I love your musical analysis.

[@LaLion24]

It makes me so glad to see someone analyze Destiny's music. I personally fell in love with this song the moment it came on in the game and still am in awe now. The emotion that comes through the piece alone alongside the tragic context of losing a home seeing guardians, the protectors, now powerless and dying left such an impact. The song is mostly associated with that story for me, but the nature of the composition is applicable to much more. I love how it evolves from sorrow and loss in the beginning to a powerful melody of mourning and reconciliation, then begins to rise with the main theme in the trumpets, only to return to the emotional chorus and strings. To me this pattern says that even as you change, maybe rising from strife in order to triumph, you always return to what shaped you in the beginning. Whether that's hardship, nostalgia, or something else. It's all part of the story.

Cayde gave up his light so that our light could shine ever brighter. With The Final Shape coming to a close, I found myself revisiting this piece. Destiny has indeed come far. The emotion Destiny's music elicits has never failed me. It always fits the story suitably, from the beginning and now to the end. This song has made me cry. And while The Final Shape may not have made me cry, it made me feel so incredibly sad for (what feels like) the end of Destiny.

[@MrAndumi]

I never played Destiny 1, but when D2 came to PC, I remember hearing this for the first time. The sense of vulnerability, tragedy, loss. I felt the intent of the devs wanting to drive home that player characters were immensely vulnerable during those first few missions in the Red War. I think what upset me most was when I found the destroyed camp outside the City walls, Guardians having been overrun by Cabal warriors and Warbeasts. I grieved for them, even though I knew they were just set dressing. The entire power fantasy was that Guardians were nigh-unstoppable and immortal, and to be desperately trying to survive with the little rinky-dink SMG I picked up from what could have been a comrade, I felt like death could come from anywhere. I wished I could have saved them. Then the transition hits and we're resolute, the song tells us not to give in to despair, that our Guardian is not alone, that even when gods fall, mankind will endure. One of my absolute favorite pieces of music, ever. I'm gonna go listen to it again.

[@ShiryuInTime]

Every time I hear this song, I cry. It doesn't matter if I'm happy, having the best day of my life. This song hits hard.

[@JayStrun]

For me, the opening phrase of this track - the strings, the sorrowful, reflective nature - is exactly as you say. We just lost in the biggest way. Lost our Light, lost our City, lost our way. We lost our people and friends and our purpose. A silent god sat above us and did nothing in our weakest moment. We were scattered across the system, unsure of what would even come next. The second part, that part that kicks in on the mountainside as the Cabal ships fly overhead and you see the Traveler in it's cage in the distance, feels to me like a "You lost. What are you going to do about it?" moment. Yes, we lost. But we're still alive. We aren't going to allow ourselves to be downtrodden. We are going to rise together from the ashes of this defeat. We are united, we are strong. THere are people who depend on us and need us to be strong. Even in our weakest moment we remained strong. We didn't give up and lay down to die. We trekked for miles over mountain ranges and valleys. We fought Cabal patrols without our superpowers. Together, we will ascend from despair and find hope. The final part screams to me, "Not only will we rise, we will TAKE BACK what is ours. We will meet the Cabal head-on and reclaim our City. We will fight for what we built over the course of Destiny 1. Together." And then the choir joins in and I get another message from the track. It's like the people of the City, the refugees on the Farm, are joining in with our 'hero moment.' They are saying "We will support you and rise on our own. We are the People of the Last City, and together there is no force that can stop us. We don't have the Light, but we have strength of our own. We see you, Guardian, and we need you." And there's even a sense of other Guardians joining in, because in the lore it explores how Guardians remained in the City to save people and evacuate them. Lightless Guardians dying Final Deaths to save the innocent. The last two minutes of the track has this insane heroicism in it. Like a memorial to these fallen Guardians and the strength of Humanity's resolve. - And to me it applies to even normal people in the real world. There's a time after great tragedy or loss to sit down and reflect. To let yourself be affected by whatever events happened. A family member's death, a natural disaster destroying your home, a war arriving in your country. There's a time to gather together and just feel your emotions either alone or with those you trust. But then there's a moment where you need to look inward and ask the question "What am I going to do now? What can I do now? What would they want me to do?" and there's a real moment where you might not know. But you can look around at the people who care about you, and who you care about, and you can try to figure that out together. It's like in Frozen 2 with Anna's song "just do the next right thing." What's the next thing that feels right to you? There are people who might depend on you, who are maybe weaker than you are, or feel the loss more strongly. Maybe you're now responsible for someone's life (elder or younger). And they need you. It's a really personal message, and when I think about my Nana and how tragic her death was for us, I play this song. I listen to it in its entirety and I let these emotions and feelings flow through me. I don't think the pain will ever go away, but with songs like this it feels lessened. It's a good guide for me to follow to overcome the emotions and do the next right thing.

[@metalfingers2129]

I come back and listen to this song so often. The moment this plays in the game is so impactful. When the song picks up speed and the drums come in there's like a cabal ship that flies over you in epic fashion, and it's just amazing. Truly a masterpiece of a song and masterfully placed in the game.

[@vtheman1850]

Perhaps my favorite Salvatori composition. Within the context of the plot and even outside of it. Gentle and somber, while at the same time emotional, human and powerful. The vocal crescendo is akin to both a prayer, a lament and at the same time a statement of command. The Latin is... not exactly right but the approximate translation would also reinforce that. Some of the lines are directly taken from famous Latin phrases and quotes, and quite a few have an imperative tone to it. "Perseverance from Fire, Light Defend Us, Light after darkness. Outside(Of it there is) bravery and faith, The die is cast, I struggle , I emerge, To life eternal. (this line is odd but probably means) Save our truth in memory? Light and Truth, Preserve the covenant, We are preparing for a life, A life in memory. For Equality shine, Life defend us, Persistence helps/guides/empowers the brave, Peace in virtue, fortune favors the bold/Stay your course(really hard to discern meaning from the way it is written) Let The Earth be your light, Peace be with you, For/in our memory." Something of the sort it is very hard to translate modern interpretations of Latin so a bit of contextual molding of the lyrics will always happen

I really feel this music, heard it so many times and still gives me chills and tears. For me it's a journey though life. You begin in a sad moment, a depression or a loss followed by a rebuilt that get stronger the further we go. The third part is the achievement after successfully rebuilding yourself, living the moment, being strong and fulfill. Finally the ending is a small but peaceful part where you are contemplating your life and what you've achieved. Love your analysis. Totally agree on what you said.

[@AgentUltimate7]

In the context of the game this song makes absolute sense, like you lost everything you and your comrades fought (part 1) for and have to walk on your own, without powers, weapons or anything (choir part), then you have to fight and stand against an army with what you have with you (the third part) and finally the song resolves with you surviving to fight another day.

This was an amazing surprise that I didn't know I needed. To see Destiny OST covered in this channel just made my day. I still remember the first time hearing this song while hiking in wilderness while in such a vulnerable state with cabal puppies everywhere. Like you said, it's a "Journey". On a quick side note, I'm seeing many people recommending "Journey OST" from Austin Wintory and obviously I'm going to join them and recommend it as well and do a quick addition as well with "The Pathless OST" from the same composer. Especially "A Chill That Infests The Bones" and "Cernos" are among my favorites. I highly recommend "Cernos" if you're interested in tribal sounds and melodies. Can't wait for your future videos, you always manage to give such valuable insights :)

Haven't seen someone post it, so here is some context as to when this song is playing. We've lost the last city of humanity (that we knew of, neomuna technically doesn't count), our light, the traveler and the people below. You're climbing the mountains to the beginning of the song, where the snow stays. After a timeskip it's a week later and there is nothing but snow and rocks around you, your ghost, your companion pointing out a falcon that had been guiding you. You turn the corner and you see the traveler caged, the city burning. As the music swells, a cabal cruiser roars overhead, heading to reinforce the stolen territory. All you can do is continue on your path, and as you leave the music continues, a grim resolve as you head away from the city but into the sunlight, following the falcon to safety.

Such a great reaction!

[@the_ragingviking]

I was encouraged to play Destiny 2 by some acquaintances originally. I still remember making my guardian, taking time to pick their design and look, and going through the opening quests / missions to get to the part where this song opens. I was taken aback given the fact the song plays as you, yourself, are on a journey, or at the very least, beginning a new one in some fashion or form. The chills this song gave me experiencing it for the first time in-game are no less diminished in any fashion hearing it here again, and seeing your reaction to it. Your guardian is on a path, whether or not they realize it in that moment is irrelevant, as their journey will take them absolutely to those horizons. Even if the world is different, or the battle is different, there's a goal that needs reaching. Great analysis and take on the song.

[@anhilliator1]

Funny that you mention climbing a mountain - part of the sequence where this piece plays has you doing _exactly that_ after you've escaped the destroyed City. The opening part actually involves you limping your way out of the destroyed city after losing your Light. You see other Guardians being executed, and you know full well you could be next. The only weapon you have is a heavily damaged pistol, much like the city which you were supposed to protect.

I never really expected you to react to Destiny music and when I saw this in my recommendation I was absolutely elated.

Let me pull a not so recent quote of mine. Ahem. "There's a reason we fight. We fight not just for loot, or for fun. We fight for the ones around us, we fight to keep our city Alive. When Ghaul took the city, we did not rest until we were sure it was taken back. We will continue to fight for our home until we inevitably fall. Devotion inspires bravery, bravery inspires sacrifice... Sacrifice, leads to death. Let us all devote ourselves to keeping our home safe, let us be brave in the face of overwhelming chaos and demise... Let us sacrifice ourselves for our home. Aiat."

[@reolives]

This song makes my chest ache. So good.

[@localdestiny2addict406]

Your analysis of the music is pretty much spot on. This song played as the player was fleeing the last home of humanity after it was invaded and it’s only defenders were stripped of their powers

[@luissosa915]

Damn man you make reactions of all my favorite videogame themes and i am not subscribed to your patreon, thanks a lot again, this song for me means hope, it is a song that i listen everytime i feel desperate and looking for guide, really love your videos, you are amazing :,)

[@MarcoMeatball]

Tiers start as low as $3. Lol jk of course. I love journey. ❤️❤️

[@miguelortiz4410]

You know sir You told me thirty days and you got it out earlier then that I do believe. Thank you so much though Honestly one of my favorite pieces and getting to experience this with you and everyone on this channel made my night.

❤️❤️

I think this song perfectly summarises humanity's journey with covid. The despair we all feel as the pandemic spreads, how we rally together and support each other, the courage and the sacrifices made by our frontliners and finally the creation of the vaccines which allows us to return to some semblance of normalcy today.

Hits different after losing our Commander. RIP Lance

[@Babavidya]

Oh my god, Destiny's been my main game for the past year and a half. I've been grateful for coming across your other reactions, and namely in Genshin Impact because I log in daily -- but wow, I didn't even expect Destiny to pop up here. I'm excited, haven't even started the video, and have a trip to pack for. Can't wait for this one. Good song, still listen to it execessively when I've got some hard work ahead

[@GewalfofWivia]

I've only played Destiny 2 for a short bit, but this music sure has left an impression

[@lukoscreyden]

I could definitely see this show up in The Final Shape, the expansion which will apparently mark the end of the Light vs Dark saga. (Basically, Destiny's Endwalker.) I can imagine 'the walk to the final showdown' being a sombre moment, with this aong playing. I think it would be perfect as a bookend to the saga!

[@Real28]

Man, if they brought it back. That'll be a moment. But even if they didn't, Salvatori and Skye will not disappoint. Theyve been crushing it since Activision basically bullied Odonnel out.

[@altyar_]

first i need to thank the patreon guy for requesting this piece of art second my god i didnt know that you also played destiny i dont know if you played destiny 1 because if you did this gets more sad when you listen to it it really make me feel that my journey in destiny 1 has come to an end and now it is time to say goodbye for all the 4 years of playing in it. this ost really did hit me so hard when it started i swear i will never forget how i felt when i left the old tower

[@MarcoMeatball]

That opening mission really hit super hard 🥹

[@altyar_]

@@MarcoMeatball it does it really does 😭

[@NekosukiTTV]

my fav destiny 2 ost is the Track 19 - The Farm

[@Yilue]

Oh hell yesss. First song I fell in love with in destiny 2. I do miss marty o donnell butmichael salvatori and the others sure do an amazing job. Just man voilins :'( they know how to make you emotional. Just AHHH theres so much I want to say about this song but I dont know how to say/put it into words. The second part is also amazing with the drums and vocals male and female. Then it gets really heroic halfwaythough part 3 just AHHHH SO GOOD. Destiny has always been an up and down game but will be that game that will stick with me forever. The memories I've had from the beta days of the first game up until now. So many songs I love from this game that span across the entire franchise. So much more I could say l but I'll keep it not too long lol

[@fepipazo]

this song makes me crying a lot of times xd

[@leonardocaffarini3218]

"Majestic" Oh boy!

[@Loghy]

Hey there, just found about your channel from the two videos about Ace Combat, I come here with another music from the series, called "The Journey Home" (search for the On Radio version, in the game it really adds up to the music along with all the situation). While The Unsung War is glorious, Journey Home is the only one which got close to bringing tears to my eyes.

[@S3Cs4uN8]

One song I'd like to see you look at is The Cosmic Balance from Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, it's a neat one.

[@datboi9648]

There is also a vocalist version of this song where it’s all vocals. Very pretty if you get a chance to listen to it.

[@dhats5575]

On the topic of Destiny music, I highly recommend Regicide and Last Stand from Destiny 1. Definitely two of the best osts in the series so far. Keep up the great work!

[@addonszx1119]

THIS PART THIS SONG is so intense so sad part :( the fallen of the humans

[@TakenPsion]

I miss these times, it was simpler then, no stasis, no strand, just people getting tilted off of shotgun apes

[@joansena3056]

Eyes up, Guardians 😢

[@Awoken_Remmuz]

Personally one of my favourites from D2, hope it makes a return as a nod in the final shape expansion, to really round out the end of a saga, the end of a *journey* and the beginning of a new one. As for my favourite D1 track and my left field suggestion of songs to cover, the Last Array.

[@sakuraitomoki9588]

Are there any missions where they reuse this music or has it been lost in the vault?

[@MarcoMeatball]

I can't recall, I think it's vaulted.

[@nikkan3810]

Lost is a bit overly dramatic. Iirc it played in the Red War? Then probably not in the pool rn.

[@sakuraitomoki9588]

@@nikkan3810 so lost to time basically

[@sakuraitomoki9588]

@@MarcoMeatball I loved replaying through the last mission of the red war since this song was used in it too, kind of a bummer we're not able to play it anymore

[@nikkan3810]

@@sakuraitomoki9588 I'm sure we'll see it again. Bungie would be foolish to ditch this.

[@silverjazz1298]

If you are looking for amazing songs, listen to Destiny 1 soundtracks, mainly the first ones. I have my favorites but i recomend the Destiny Ost playlist and The Rise of iron playlist. Also try to look for "What could have been" from the netflix series Arcane in the orchestral version made by Samuel Kim.

[@elderwood6835]

I know everyone and their friends has already suggested Deep Stone Lullaby (and with good reason), but I *highly* implore you also check out Athanasia and it's harder counterpart, Security Breach from the same raid as Deep Stone Lullaby.

[@BelladoriReigns]

you 100% need to react to 'Deepstone Lullaby' from destiny, its by far my now most favorite destiny song, and im someone who played destiny 1 for 5,000+ hrs and have closing in on 2k hours in destiny 2. they NAILED the theme of what was happening during Deepstone Lullaby playing.

[@BelladoriReigns]

I will say something before you react to it, the song is suppose to symbolize Rebirth essentially. being born anew.

[@MarcoMeatball]

Its on the list
