Silent Hill 2 - Laura's Theme | Reacting To Video Game Music!

[@bangormc3rd562]

A lot of Silent Hill music isn't necessarily what you'd expect in a horror game, so this isn't totally a departure from the rest of the OST. But Laura IS definitely unique among all the characters in SH2 in that she's the only one not walking around in a waking nightmare. She's just kind of doing her own thing, and doesn't really understand why everyone else is acting so weird.

[@thewisconsinfiles]

For sure, like the part where James is genuinely concerned and tells her it's not safe in silent hill and she just blows him off because she is seeing a different version of the place. She's a child and has never done anything to be beckoned by the town like James, Angela and Eddie have. She came to silent hill to find Mary where as the others were lured there by the town to come face what ever deep trauma each of them has. Laura still had her innocence and therefore was exempt from the hell that was silent hill. I love this series lol.

[@TallicaMan1986]

@@thewisconsinfiles You know. I always imagined her as a good ghost. I feel she was also terminal.

[@thewisconsinfiles]

@@TallicaMan1986 there are so many theories on what exactly Laura is, we know she was residing in the same hospital as Mary and Mary even tells Laura to "take it easy on the sisters", that tells me, at least in my humble opinion, she too was possibly ill. Why else would she be there ? We also know Laura was an orphan, Mary says how she wishes her and James could adopt her. Was she in the care of the orphanage? There's so little information to go on, but ya I have to agree, it's very possible Laura was a ghost and why she's able to navigate silent hill so freely and evade James the way she does. Gaming Muse has some cool theories on why she prob isn't a ghost but again there's still so little to go on! I could talk silent hill all day long haha! Love hearing what everyone else thinks too!

[@Liam-Scott]

@@thewisconsinfiles The ghost theory has always been one I’m not very convinced of, considering we see her interact with Eddie and the intro even shows her arriving in Silent Hill with Eddie.

[@PSNChazwazzer]

@@Liam-Scott Also iirc in the Leave ending, its implied James just up and adopts her since it's Mary's dying wish.

[@Seto_A4]

5:06 This is the theme of the intro, but you still totally nailed it. Laura is a little girl who due to her innocence does not perceive horrors that other people see in Silent Hill, so it makes sense.

[@Seto_A4]

[@Mrinsecure]

Silent Hill's more soft rock music is, weirdly enough, a hallmark of the series, and frequently features in the games' openings and endings. A few standouts from the series include: * You're Not Here (Silent Hill 3) * Hell-Frozen Rain (Silent Hill: Shattered Memories) * Acceptance (Silent Hill: Shattered Memories) * One More Soul to the Call (Silent Hill: Homecoming) * Room of Angel (Silent Hill 4: The Room) * Promise (Silent Hill 2) I know, because your list of requests wasn't big enough.

[@DmnHd81]

Those are great musics from the game but I'd also add Not Tomorrow and Letter From The Lost Days.

[@audirodriguez4435]

Oh yes my friend!

[@heavymetalhead9661]

Your rain from SH4 the room is amazing o the heavy song angel thanatos from SH2

[@Vithedel]

It's brilliant because the fear of Silent Hill is trauma and the past rather than traditional jumpscare so an intimate experience and soundscape is a bold and right choice. I heard somewhere that Yamaoka composed this over the feeling of being on holiday with his lover and feeling that it's not going to last so really fitting for James's story.

[@IKimdraculaI]

4:10 "It doesn't matter who I am. I'm here for you James. See? I'm real..."

[@VelvetAura]

For the most part, "music" in Silent Hill games is a lot of atmospheric noise and industrial screaming, but occasionally there will be places in these games where the music is very down to earth and chill, catchy, somber, introspective... even beautiful imo. It takes you by surprise, but when you play the game it feels like it makes sense, and it's a stark contrast that really works. All I can say is that Akira Yamaoka is a LEGEND. Such a talented composer. Your take on Laura being the "positivity" behind this game is pretty spot-on, though I won't say more than that. This track is actually used as the intro for the game, so it sets a mood right away if you watch it. One of the best video game intros of all time, by the way.

[@nicolasriveros943]

Akira Yamaoka style Is something i would define as a blend of Industrial, Trip Hop, Ambient and Alternative Rock. Somehow those styles togheter fits perfectly to what Silent Hill Is going for, specially in SH2

[@shadowforge25]

I don't particularly remember the music, but I agree. Not what I would expect from silent hill. From what I do remember, it was a very atmospheric game, focusing less on Jump scares and more on anticipation/graphic horror.

[@Vashy434]

Silent Hill is all about self hatred and guilt, the music is supposed to seem kinda self reflective on psychosis. It is absolutely insane how well Akira Yamaoka captures that feeling in his music. Just imagine being trapped with your own personal demons made manifest for real.

[@Vashy434]

@Creepy Girl I mean except for the fact that Silent Hill 1 is also literally the embodiment of Alyssas psyche made manifest in a nightmare brought to life. But yeah lets ignore that part. Just cause it was not the main character does not mean that the original did not explore the themes.

[@Vashy434]

@Creepy Girl mental illness has always been at the core of Silent Hill.

[@vahlok1426]

I have a personal theory about why this sounds so out of place in terms of Silent Hill music; Laura is a child, and has no proverbial skeletons in the closet or ghosts to haunt her. She's in Silent Hill to find her friend Mary, that's all. She is innocent, and as such has a theme that sounds out of place and by all accounts, normal. Because at the end of it all, after the horrors James experiences and the people he meets, Laura is just a little girl who wants to see her friend again.

[@Lunaria.Praesentia]

Even if she doesn't play a "major" role in the game overall, this song feels full of sadness, regret and loneliness, it suits little Laura because of what you've said, her desperate necessity to find Mary

[@Duskets]

Yamaoka has a really great grasp on creating tone and texture with his music that complements the atmosphere of the Silent Hill games. I especially like how the lead and backing tracks are essentially calling out to one another at 2:17.

[@TomTomW90]

One of my favourite pieces of video game music

[@derek7862]

I loved your reaction, exactly the same reaction as I had first time I heard it (over 20 years ago!) - I was really surprised, and it's been in my all-time top 5 pieces of game music ever since. Just masterful, moving and beautiful.

[@j255173]

This. Song...still gives me chills. It was such a perfect theme for the game, and honestly gave it that movie theme quality that could only exists in the early 2000s.

[@Weltallgaia]

Akira Yamaoka kills it. Also all the vocal tracks in the games beyond 2 are done by Mary Mcglynn who is a major anime VA and Voice director. And just for the hell of it trivia, played a singer on quantum leap while scott bakula played elvis. Both of them were amazing kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH-ZZaB6prCAa8U

[@Sphinx3]

laura's character is so mysterious, i dont know if she was a real kid or if she was a figment of james' imagination. she met mary in the hospital but still... anyways if any of you got the leave ending then that means james will adopt and raise laura as his own kid.

[@extralevel8253]

The team confirmed she's real. Also in the video that plays alongside this track she is seen talking with Eddie and the pair go to Silent Hill together

[@citizendame6329]

Once this dude hears SH's mellow atmospheric tracks he will find what he was looking for.

[@ShaDHP23]

The ending themes to this game are nothing short of astounding. Akira Yamaoka is one of the greatest composers in the industry today and his music for No More Heroes is also incredible.

[@Golemie]

I'll throw out my thoughts since I'm obsessed with this particular series. Guy that does most of the music in the series, or at least used to, is Akira Yamaoka. His work on the series is such an anomaly to me in a really fantastic way. You've got these games about horrific cults, demonic presences, people struggling through nightmare hellscapes, and coming face to face with manifestations of their own twisted psyche. And a lot of the music does match that, with extremely grungy, almost mechanical tracks blaring in your ears during horrific segments. But when the story takes focus and characters are really going through it, the tone completely changes. You have this very 80s sounding rock in spots, really sullen grunge/punk tracks (especially in SH3), and even hip hop beats in some of the later games. It really feels like they grabbed Yamaoka and just told him to make something regardless of the game's themes, which somehow works fantastically. More specifically, I adore Laura's Theme because it hits every single instrumental note I associate with early PS2 games. Those strings, the rising and falling sense of an oncoming journey, all of it screams that era perfectly. They even retain a specific note, the warbling strings way in the background, that are straight from the first game's theme. If it's of interest, Silent Hill 2 is one of the best horror games ever made. For anyone that doesn't know, Silent Hill 2 was a huge departure from the first in that it ditched the cultish horror and rusty metal, blood soaked environments for an unsettling psychological horror. The story is genuinely uncomfortable, with characters dealing with topics such as terminal illness, sexual/physical abuse, genuine sociopathic behaviors/beliefs, and the existential horror of just knowing there's sometimes no escape from it all. Silent Hill 2 is about James, a man who gets a simple letter from his late wife asking him to come meet her at their "special place" in the town they vacationed in. From there it just goes deeper and deeper into unsettling, vicious topics and moments. All of which avoids jumpscares, outright gore, or constant enemies in your face. It's, in my opinion, a complete mastery of the genre that I can still look back on some scenes and feel deeply uncomfortable with very real themes. I highly recommend anyone who hasn't played it, either go out and grab a copy on the PS2, emulate it, or watch a playthrough. It's a genuinely special game. But avoid the HD Collection, for the love of god. It's a disaster. Thanks for reacting to this Jesse! I'm gonna throw out some possible stuff I'd love to see on this channel as well, feel free to ignore it or keep them for future ideas. I'd recommend the track UNDERTALE from Undertale (song's name is the same as the game, it's the game maker's most revised and worked on song), World's End Valentine from Omori, Burn My Dread or The Battle for Everyone's Souls from Persona 3, Axe to Grind from Persona 5 Strikers, Boss Battle Theme 8 (Devil Decadence) or Boss Battle Theme 7 (Shohei/Fionn) from Shin Megami Tensei V, and BIG SHOT or Field of Hopes and Dreams from Deltarune. Hopefully one of those pops up on your radar, but regardless, thanks for introducing me to so many new tracks and trying all of these bangers!

[@CobraCorpse]

I will add that the best way to get acquainted with SH2 now is still the PC version with the "Enhanced Edition" modification installed. It contains absolutely all the advantages of the console version plus a huge number of improvements that the programmers and artists of the "Town of Silent Hill" team have been working on for more than 5 years. Moreover, a convenient installer has appeared in the latest updates.

[@Hxllysis]

I definitely know where you’re coming from saying that everyone should avoid the HD collection. However, if there’s no more options, I’d suggest for people to try it out instead of just missing out on experiencing SH2 & 3... I’ve seen myself in that position & I’m grateful to have the ugly HD version instead of nothing at all, because even with all its horrors, it still manages to convey (most of) what makes these games so unique. Granted, it still sucks, but I think people should give it a try if they don’t have a PC or anything else to better experience those games - I got my copy of the HD collection at a 75% discount or something like that because FUCK ME if I had to pay more than that to Konami for making a shitty porting of these gems & treating them with the utmost disrespect they certainly don’t deserve. So in essence: play them, & FUCK KONAMI!

[@amphreded]

Breeze in Monochrome Silent Hill OST is an amazingly atmospheric melancholy masterpiece.

[@holasoyaldar]

Man there's never too late to play the Silent Hill series, We highly recommend you play the first four entries on the franchise, specially this one (SH 2). :D

[@maddlad_l5257]

Even the first Silent Hill holds up surprisingly well. Get some expected PS1 jank out of the way, and you still get a really solid horror game.

[@Demonfireangel]

Also, these games do not take as long to complete as RPGs like Final Fantasy would. First playthrough for each Silent Hill would probably be under 10 hours for most players. He could beat the first four games in the series in the time it would take him to beat a Final Fantasy game.

[@SebOuiKin]

Man I love this theme, but I love the alternate version Theme of Laura Reprise a lot more, since it’s plays in my favorite scene in the entire franchise. Anyway Yamaoka Akira has some of the most interesting sounds in his compositions, it’s very unique.

[@atraxos]

That theme plays during the "staircase scene", right? I have it as my ringtone. "It's hot as hell in here." "...You see it too? For me, it's always like this."

[@SebOuiKin]

@@atraxos Yupe, it's exactly that one. I love that scene so much, it's so powerfull and the music makes it even better. There was a lot of realisation for me at that scene.

[@saguiar2804]

I just came across your channel and I have to say I loved seeing your first-time reaction to Theme of Laura! Silent Hill 2 is such a great game and its soundtrack really adds to the overall experience. The OST is filled with so many good tracks but if I had to narrow it down to just five, I'd say you go listen to "Love Psalm", "Overdose Delusion", "Terror in The Depths Of The Fog", "Forest" and "Pianissimo Epilogue". I look forward to seeing you react to more SH music in the future!

[@dragoncurieux]

It's so good to see you listen to this ! Silent Hill 2 is one of my top favorite games, and I'm not someone who is much into horror. But the whole experience especially the music is next level. Can't wait to hear you listen to more of this game !

[@pyroronnie2473]

Silent hill music is by far one of the biggest gems in gaming history. I recommend the silent hill elle theme song, or even room of angel

[@xS1D3SW1P3x]

LETS GOOOO!!! I've been waiting for this eagerly!!! Silent Hill has some of my favorite soundtracks of ALL time

[@EvansNull]

You should listen to the theme for silent hill 1, and (never forgive me, never forget me) from silent hill 3. And if you want something really unsettling (my heaven) which is one of the most unsettling tracks in the series. But if you listen to my heaven you need the lights off to get the full effect, in my opinion.

[@ravenofroses]

well, laura isn't the lady in the picture they used for the video. she's a little kid who is the only innocent person in the game. most of the music in the first few silent hill games is more industrial noises and screeching, but everybody remembers the more rock stuff. it's just that good. (i mean the atmospheric screeching is cool in its own way, too, but you can't really listen to it the same way you listened to this song.) and tbh most of the soundtrack is best experienced through playing the games or watching let's plays of them. you can get some of the emotions from just the audio, but having the songs/sounds in the context of the games makes them much more effective. running for your life from monsters down a dimly-lit pulsating nightmare corridor while the hissing of steam and feedback and static shrieks at you is really something else.

[@Tasuva]

I wouldn't say that the music gets better each game. But it doesn't get worse either. Akira Yamaoka did the soundtrack for most of the games. 1 and 2 were only instrumentals but at 3 and afterwards he had some amazing singers and songwriter joining his team. So you can pretty much check every song from the SH series as long as it's done by Yamaoka and it's great. You're right that the rock music is quite unusual for a horror game but so is the Silent Hill series. It's psychological and survival horror combined with puzzles, interesting characters and most of the time a really deep story. The music has these rock songs, calm and relaxing ambient pieces and some disturbing tracks that sound like you've put a bunch of nails into a washing machine.

[@giovannimeza1]

silent hill music have important role on game for characters, movie scenes, bosses & scenario. have a special place on my heart so nostalgic.

Esta pieza no solo es una obra de arte, tambien es un himno para los juegos de Terror y el Gaming en general.

[@Torthrodhel]

This is one of several tracks made for the end credits of the 2nd game - the one with the most number of different endings (4 serious + 2 joke) - and a different song was made to play during the credits depending which of the endings you got. Probably the other really popular track from these games would be "Room of Angel", the intro theme to the 4th game. It's a little different, more of a dark lullaby style.

[@xS1D3SW1P3x]

I will say you are correct on this theme representing a character! Silent Hill game's music plays for story moments and cutscenes while the gameplay is DRENCHED in atmosphere and industrial sounds

[@CaptainxCSNx]

This takes me back to when it was like a given, that any game I played I always watched the intros because of the visuals and music were usually awesome. And after playing the game, it honestly makes the games intro music and visuals that much more impactful, and quite frankly, sad, and terrifying. It is fucking amazing. One of my favorite soundtracks ever hands down.

[@apollinarian]

Silent Hill has some real bangers lol, kinda surprising considering the genre, right? The in-game bgm is definitely more abstract and creepy though! (Tender Sugar and Promise are some of my favorite SH tracks, if you'd like to check them out one day)

Some versions of the 3rd game actually came with a CD of the soundtrack. They wanted the songs to be something the teenage female protahonist would actually listen to, so there is an alternative rock style and many of the tracks include vocals

[@Hxllysis]

If you liked how the complexity of this piece somehow managed to be equally harmonious & mesmerizing, I’d strongly suggest you listen to ‘Overdose Delusion’ because that track hits so many emotions through the chaos of various instruments, & I think it’s amazing, easily one of my favorite SH tracks to date 🤘🏾

I first heard it in a trailer for the game and not only I was entracend by the trailer itself, but also this piece of MUSIC. Sillent Hill 2 introduced me to the franchise and to Akira Yamaoka genius music compositions. Just listen to Sillent Hill 2 "Truth". It is so simple and so mesmerising at the same time. This one feels quite different when you play the game or know when it happens. it was quite a shoking reveal at the time. Also, check out Sillent Hill 2 the "Promise". And If you want another one to check out, there is Sillent Hill 3 "You're Not Here". You have a LOT of GREAT music to check out my friend. A LOT. Cheers, stay safe, stay well and happy VGM to us all

As many have told you, but Silent Hill 2 is quite different (to it's detriment since the rest of the series could never hit these highs ever again) in that it's a very human story. The town and monsters are all horrific and scary, but the story and tone is about dragging you down people's stories that couldn't have the happiest of endings.
