First version: normal Gaslight session: angry This: depressed

[@Anomanolis]

Oh shit, is this some kind of foreshadowing for the next TLOU Game? First game was: Normal (Survival apocaliptic horror which suits the first song) This game is based on: Revenge (AKA Anger) Next game: (Depression?)

2:49...that entire growl sequence...FUCKING CHILLS. Earned a whole new fan. Never heard such a raspy, yet on tone growl in my life, and I'm 30 and have been deep into music as a hobby since I was a kid. Reminded me of a classic jazz musician, combined with grunge, combined with Brent Smith. Just blown away by that. Was playing a game and listening in the the background, and has to pause to play it back a few times. That sequence was amazing.

[@schribbler1592]

Great song for sure. Amazing voice. So distinctive. Both games are top drawer. My number 1 campaigns so far and can be played back to back and as one which is what I’d suggest. You don’t have to be huge into video games the story is amazing enough all by itself to warrant a play through.

[@MrGreaves]

greenapplepear i proposed the idea before that it should’ve been an optional cutscene maybe, like the take on me one, and she sits to play guitar and plays through the valley.. Joel walks through the door and says “what’re you doing kiddo? You really gonna go through with this?” and we cut to a flashback where Joel is looking through a doorway and sees younger Ellie sat with a guitar before going on her first solo patrol or something like that, and we get a short cutscene of them talking and it ends on a real sweet moment where Joel asks what she’s been playing so she starts strumming through the valley, and when she finishes the song we cut back to present day with her holding the guitar and she looks up at the doorway to see no one there but the guitar makes her think of that memory with Joel and she says “I’m gonna find and I’m gonna kill every last one of them” as if Joel was there to hear it. And then continue on with the game

Last of us part 2: As I walk through the valley. The valley being Seattle. Of the shadow of death. Death lingering behind every corner of Seattle. I fear no evil because I'm blind to it all. Ellie's pursuit for vengeance blinds her from fear and consequence. The entire story is really just a reflection of the song, revealing Ellies reality and mentality.In my mind and my gun I find comfort because i know that they'll kill my enemies. Unable to walk on the path of the right because unfortunately all that Ellie does in the game is wrong and she isnt the good guy nor is she the bad guy. There is no such thing as either just people wanting what feels right for them.

Cant lie. Not word. But the first sound out of this guys mouth. Gave me goosebumps and made me feel alll the emotion in his voice.

[@sammierose6500]

I don't think you'll see this. But I've listened to music all my life. And you're the first person to make me feel. The soul in your music is just absolutely beautiful. Inspiring to say the least.

[@leemiller5018]

Agreed

[@lordtardar4639]

I've never been more moved by or had a more personal relationship with a piece of art than with Through the Valley. I mourned the loss of someone dear to me with this incredibly beautiful song and the lines, the melody will forever be associated with the warm thoughts of my beloved one. Lots of love.
