Replica by Miracle Of Sound (Electronic Synth Rock) (Prey)

[@draconicfeline6177]

the fantastic thing about gavin's songs is that they truly honor the spirit of the game - and manage to spoil and NOT spoil it at the same time. You can enjoy the music without knowledge of the game, at a few hours in, and at the end - equally, but in different ways. And the song stands alone. Gavin is truly a genius.

[@MantraHerbInchSin]

Yeah, after playing the game and then listening to this, it´s really, really good. Amazing lyrics, great music. Love it!

[@adams13245]

Yah, that's a major part of what makes this song good. Prey (2017) is all about the mind games and you never know how deep the rabbit hole goes... was that coffee mug there before? *starts smashing with wrench*

[@lemmythetrash-goblin8291]

I find myself thousand times more hyped for game when Gavin makes song 'bout it than any trailer could he ever hoped to make me.

[@Sacremas]

I wonder when game companies start to catch on and just hire him to do the trailers. Especially some like Bethesda and CDPR, the latter I'm kinda expecting to do so with Cyberpunk actually, considering some of their mates kinda already did so for Seven.

[@LukasTimberwolfW]

I heard he did it once and hated it cause it felt force so he doesn't want to do it again and only make songs he feels inspired too

[@ignisking759]

Right? I bought Deus Ex Mankind Divided because his music video got me so pumped towards it.

[@johnalogue9832]

If I was in marketing, I'd consider this "community-based marketing" or something. Like, the sign the base marketing has worked and the game has caught on in the public, and promoting stuff like that is healthy for a game's longevity and public relations. After all, game sales aren't just about an initial rush, people keep buying good games for years after they're released.

[@LukasTimberwolfW]

Would be awesome but most publisher won't pay someone for a song that he did anyway ;) maybe give him free games

[@dragonflame8157]

“I am a perfect copy of whatever I was; Something I don’t recognize” The way you work so many metaphors into your songs is just amazing! I’ll never know how you do it!

[@chris-m780]

Or uou know you could actually play the game or at lrast watch a playthough of the game and you would see how spot on the wording is to the actual is to plot of the game .But that would be kind of giving it away so spoilers

It's related to the games ending. I don't want to post spoilers here so I suggest either getting the game and experiencing it yourself or looking up the ending on youtube.

Hey Sound Bites!!! Enjoyed making this song, was going for a NIN/Depeche Mode feel with the music! :) Don't forget if you want to support me in making music I have a Patreon now: www.patreon.com/miracleofsound Thank you so much to everyone who already joined!! You guys keep me in a job

[@InfinityKrompt]

Really feels like an early Manson song with the beat, very much reminds me of NIN's Closer so I think you nailed that. Good Shit and it really felt like it captured the duality of Prey (especially after you know how it ends)

Really liking this one, it's amazing how much quality you put into these songs. Just the hidden details and messages complete it all. To date I don't think you've made a single bad song in my mind. Level 8 is going to be awesome, keep up the fantastic work Gav!

[@miracleofsound]

Thank you! There are a tonne of little details in this song that are hidden behind the layers of sound. Might take a few listens to hear em all! I hope Level 8 is a good one :)

[@NinjaLayor]

At this rate, with The Great Unknown, Keepers, Force of Nature, We Are War, and now Replica... I'm sorry, Gav, but there is no "hope" that Level 8 will be good. It is CERTAIN that it will be good.

[@Mr.VaSimple]

I just wanna press "like" for this coolest song again and again. Thank you very much!

[@specificdaughter]

This game has so many layers and this song captures that so well! "I'm not, I'm not myself, I'm not somebody else" This is amazing!!!!!

The song even has a tone that I would expect from the game. I played this in the background while playing and for a moment I thought it was the game's soundtrack.

[@cairamit]

This is already one of my favourite songs of the the year without a doubt.

[@peterengland8131]

You know what? Thank you for the seizure warning. Flashing doesn't bother me, but I have a friend, and some productions these days don't care to give such a warning, even when they overuse flashes.

[@johnalogue9832]

You'd think there'd be displays or graphics drivers that would be able to stop videos before an episode of severe flashing, provide a warning, or adapt the display/image to avoid provoking an episode, right? Maybe I just never noticed such a setting or product because I don't have epilepsy, but I'd imagine controlling potentially harmful or unpleasant output would be something popular to address and market towards. "Our screen is tested and proven safe", "use screen for hours longer without vision damage", etc.

[@TheLurkingWriter]

Speaking as a chronic migraine sufferer and the son of an epileptic mother, I really appreciate those warnings more and more as time goes on. As far as I'm aware, Gav's always put warnings up on his vids when necessary - he's awesome like that.

[@rowanwinn4723]

Seconded. I'm not epileptic, and I don't know anyone who is; but I am hypersensitive to light, and the sorts of visual effects that can cause seizures tend to cause me horrendous migraines. A heads-up is always appreciated.

[@agentnck]

"Keeps on screaming for release, yells with my voice, tears with my hands" I like the typhon neuromod symbolism there. The more Morgan installs, the more the typhon inside of him wants to break out. In that case I must be fucked, because I installed all of them.

[@JohnSmith-dd3zi]

Did you play it till the end?

[@emiliotrees2933]

You know, if Prey (2017) had a VERY DIFFERENT GAME NAME, it'd be considered one of the most clever and creative games out there.

[@Anonymaus209]

God, that refrain just worms its way into your head and sticks there. I'm gonna be chanting "I'm not, I'm not myself, I'm not, I'm somebody else" in my sleep tonight (assuming I get any), well done Gav.

[@norachapman3802]

One of my favs and helped me through some rough times! Thanks Gav!!!

[@Berry_Goosey]

This song nails the transhuman-vibe of this game perfectly, in my opinion. I truly believe that Prey will be looked back on as a modern classic!

[@mrmonti620]

I'm always scared to listening to your newest song as I end up thinking you're music will suddenly turn bad. But everytime I'm proven wrong. Keep up the amazing work Gavin.

[@SeCONdagenda1]

I am exceedingly grateful for this not having many spoilers! This is a game I really dig so far.

[@bigmacmankb]

Another great song, man. This one reminds me a lot of your Soma song, the themes are so similar. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@jordanboyd5587]

3 years later: *still waiting for a sequel to be announced*

[@coulsonintahiti]

i'm still picking apart the lore of the original to prove that January was working with the Typhon.

[@Yeti-db8qd]

Actually January or December were made by Morgan in those months while he had some breakdowns when all this cycle of installing and removing neuromods started to change his personality Both by Typhon influence and brain scrambling All it ended in some paranoia and guerilla actions from Morgan side Since his own conciusnes started to be blended with Typhon that was as confused as Morgan in all of this And remember Morgan took more neuromods than anyone else along with very often removals of them (it was a daily basis for him) As well as being the first person to use his experimental Typhon abilities neuromods Before those only gave you some skills and knowledge Morgan made it possible to unlock and use Typhon powers by neuromods and tested them on himself first

[@Renko324]

Arkane Austin is no more. No more sequels, friend. 😔

[@onyxtay7246]

Welp. This song made me start thinking about Prey, and now I've got it. Playing the game gives me an appreciation for some of the finer notes in the song, things I wouldn't notice had I just listened to it. Another great job Gav.

[@formosamortem]

1) Almost 2 years of listening to this song and I still love it just as much as my first time. 2) I love that I started listening to music on a Warframe Soundtrack, KZbin wormed its way across the OST to Dream Again and I've just been listening to Gav for the last hour, And I'm just gonna keep enjoying the awesome music.

[@jessicahiga9870]

I've listened to this song hundreds of times, and I'm only playing the game right now. XD now the song keeps playing in my head all the time while playing, my head rendered it the official soundtrack

[@DanielKamlah]

I forgot how good this song is. I'm glad this video is still up, because it is no longer on YT Music.

[@vde1846]

I keep (on) returning to this. One of your best!

[@MagicalDragontamer]

I've never played this game and I honestly kind of doubt I will at this point, but I really love this song. As someone who experiences disassociation fairly regularly, it really manages to describe something I rarely see described.

[@cinderheart2720]

There's several lets plays on youtube that are worth watching to get a gist of the story and style.

[@AshlandTalos]

Not only is this another fantastic song, but DAMN that scream at 2:53! Probably my favorite from you so far, Gav!

[@mypowerbob]

My man music Jesus proved he is an artist like no other once again. It's come to the point in my life where I'm more excited for a Gav song than the actual game the song is about.

[@medusastone2725]

Still a banger.

[@ronchechoulin4019]

A mimic cannot replace Gav. You know why? No entity below the king of divines can be a replica of such perfection.

[@nobodynever4326]

No. Because mimics didnt figure out how to copy humans. Or they are simply not big enough

[@thedeadvirgin9189]

The inflection in the part of the song saying "I'm not myself, I'm not somebody else" is odd to say the least, the first part sounds like it's be a statement, the second piece sounds as if they're questioning them self. Now, I've not played Prey yet so I can only conclude that something is happening to the player character to make them question who or what they really are.

[@DE4DEY9]

VERY COOL SONG!! Sorry about your disorder though, hope your all good!! earned a hefty sub

[@lexsamreeth8724]

"They want to sing inside of us...like a disease..." "What is it you hear, behind the glass?"

[@HS99930]

Wonderful, both the music and the lyrics, I believe you really captured and expanded Prey's spirit. I love how this title stimulates people, the way it appeals to players' intelligence, intuition, creativity and empathy. And I love seeing when people connect and create something new, as you did. So Let's keep inspiration flowing, explore together this new territory. Keep it up! P.s.: yesterday I wrote this lyrics, at the moment I'm working on the music: There is something in my mind In the preverbal Level Since it's not cognitive At least yet I cannot understand it And it scares me Others sense it too Somehow I believe through the sense of scent And they become Hostile This dark Consciusness wants to survive Like all of us And in the attempt to do so Over millenia Has developed Infinite powers And I am scared of them too Afraid of insanity And of hurting others But I trust it I trust the predator Because i feel we can connect Because we share So much I feel It wants to leave the darkness And enter the cognitive world I feel It has tried to communicate For so long And with so much effort Through mind and technology it did And like me he feels He's part of a single consciousness That split itself in two To evolve And he wants to survive Like all of us And like us His nervous system is expanding And forces him to develop What he's lacking Empathy So i chose to be a bridge And became something else Then the predator and the prey Born The fifth of may March 2035 today But also The Eighth My name is M.Yu And i am doing what i love most Experimenting This time Let's try to build a bridge Through these consciousnesses No more predators and preys Destination unknown And yet we sail And set home to The deep deep dark of the skies Hunab ku Which lives inside Of us and we see As a void Constantly Staring Wheter we like it Or not

[@sonsofblades]

Easily one of the most memorable games of this decade. And you have made an amazing song in accompaniment to it.

[@DemoniteBL]

God this song is awesome. Prey is awesome. Haven't played it, but from reading about the story and watching it on YT, it's an awesome storyline wrapped in good gameplay. Love how this song is about the Neuromods affecting one's personality while at the same time it can also be interpreted as a reference to the ending when you find out the truth.

Musical God Gavin delivers again. I swear, I just want to buy every game he does a song on. All because of how he manages to perfectly distill a game and pour the elements into a wonderful song. Really loved all the dark synths and sound effects and stuff to build up to the chorus. And oh my, the chorus. Can I just say how much I love that chord progression? It's amazing and I'm kinda head over heels. Honestly, Gav could probably do a song on Snake or Tetris and it'd be an epic work of art. Another stunning gift from our favourite musician!
