Silent Hill Shattered Memories Soundtrack - 01 - Always On My Mind [With Lyrics]

[@misspaigeness]

R.I.P. Silent Hill

[@caocaokungfu]

+Barbara Downs (misspaigeness) Nah, Konami saved it. It was devolving into "Silent Amnesia Hill Descent".

[@weskershades]

I can't stop listening to this.

[@hellsbbgurl]

This song is just plain beautiful. A few months ago, I was listening to it in the living room, and my mom entered and started singing it. She recognized the song, because she just loves Elvis. Then she said this version was one of the most beautiful songs that she ever heard, and when I told her it was from Silent Hill, she said it was fitting because all McGlynn's songs for the game are great. My dad thinks the same. Geez, I just love them so much.

[@FroggyStyleLove]

I love how the way you sing the lyrics and play the melody can change a song so much. This cover with its slow and calm tone seems to be the complete contrast to the original by the petshop boys, which sounds despite the same lyrics much more enegetic and happy.

[@fozzybear718]

This song is even more haunting and sad when you consider Shattered Memories' plot. Simply beautiful.

[@razzmatazz97]

That, my friend, is as deep of an understanding of Silent Hill as one can get.

[@MiguelRPD]

Damn this is my 2,421 favorited video from long ago. Glad I stumbled upon this beautiful song again.

[@JAYB1688]

Driving through fog and rain right now listening to this. First time hearing this. Sounds good.

[@fozzybear718]

That scene in the car...underwater...with that one phrase looping over and over. It had to have been one of the most creepiest scenes in gaming.

[@InuminaSagashi]

Stay alive and work hard. Your life is a tribute of her memory so don't waste it. I feel the exact way about mine; but I haven't lost her... my mind is going in circles about my love for her because of my perception of how she loves me... I don't know, but I don't want to lose her or anything... it's hard to explain, but I feel u bro.

[@MGirly1]

I love this song so much! Been looking this song forever :P! This song makes me sleepy

[@diegothepenguin]

I'm sorry for your loss

[@Nodrog666]

I'm a super hardcore Team Silent fan. I think what they made with Silent Hill 1-3 was sort of "lightning in a bottle." That being said, I actually like Shattered Memories more than Downpour. I don't think Western devs have the moxy needed to make a "traditional" Silent Hill, so I appreciate this game trying to do something different and unique instead of trying to recapture the experience of the first three. I liked the lack of combat in Shattered Memories. It's an interesting diversion from what we Silent Hill fans are used to. Downpour was an admirable attempt, but falls short in so many ways.

[@DamienTepps]

Look, if you're a fan of the series then you'll love them through thick and thin. Team Silent didn't shit gold, they just set the bar for future iterations. 4 was my favorite, but it was panned by critics and fans alike, even though it was a Team Silent game. Shattered Memories, Origins, Homecoming, and Downpour had great atmosphere, outstanding character development, and an amazing story. What more do you want from a SH game? Even the music was still amazing. Daniel Licht is talented and did the Downpour justice by all accounts. The combat was shit? So was 1-4. That's not what makes a great SH game. This isn't RE. I'm sorry, but people who pine for TeamSilent aren't "fans", they're "purists", and that's just detrimental to a series. I'll remain ever faithful to this series until it becomes a mindless action game like RE.

[@DamienTepps]

You're actually one of the few purists who like this game. So I'll give you kudos for that.

[@SilentShibito]

Juan Salinas i agree with you silent hill must have that intention to give you fear to make you hide, to make you pay attention to every corner i love silent hill 4 as well, the ghost victims, the story, characters, i love it i think the only silent hill game that failed was that one called "book of memories"

[@Happii1010]

same

[@Oblivionic]

I liked the open exploration of downpour. The story was decent. The combat was the best in the series. What lacked in my opinion, was the monster design - they were all humanoid; no aberrations.

[@mechanicalr]

As always her voice never ceases to amaze me :D I don't know about you guys but...DAMN. I'd love to meet her

[@streemerz1]

Wow, precious. I love all of the B.S.O of Silent Hill's games... ^^

[@NgJackal1990]

Thank you for your effort! I really want to get it, it's been like that for 2 years.

[@PoisonWar]

about time someone uploaded this xD Thanks

[@bongo2962]

SM is not a remake, nor a reboot. It's a hard boiled reinterpretation that brings back the old characters and the town and place them in different roles, twisting that universe you were once familiar with. That's why is called Silent Hill; it wouldn't work any other way. The whole point of the game is to present a "what if" alternative. What if the cult, Alessa, or the creatures never existed. What if it was all the product of a young girl's mind, idealizing a father she subconsciously despise. What if the Harry Mason you met wasn't the hero you cherished, but a facade. I'm glad Climax Studios took the risk and made this game, even if they knew not many people would appreciate it. The ending is somewhat symbolic; even though one more game came out two years after (Downpour), we were witnessing the end of a series that had no more stories to tell.

[@Thebossstage1]

I think Shattered memories as being the end of an era Not only was it the last silent hill game on the PlayStation 2 But it was one of the last big games released on the PlayStation 2 RIP Silent hill RIP PlayStation 2 You'll be always on my mind

[@GiulerPowerGamer]

Thx very much for post that song i love it ^^

[@Beezleboblin]

agreed, I actually emailed them to tell them this track is missing from the album, though it's still listed as being there, its actually a completely different song :(

[@DEEPGNOSTIC]

Silent Hill 2 has to be the best soundtrack of the series....I even dare to say one of the best in gaming history!

[@queenMADONNAiloveyou]

great work Akira Yamaoka, and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn sounds perfect as always

[@MikeJones-qn1gz]

0:40 Oh shit we getting funky now

[@WyvernSone]

i love this song...second only to the elvis version of coarse, but mary elizabeth has such a beutiful voice!

[@WallyGraham]

it is, its that little dark place you go to when something bad happens, the deepest darkest pit of your heart that no one can reach. a moment of spiraling depression that you cant escape, you can never escape. your always trapped in it. but at the same time it helps you realize things. it helps you realize that your alone in the world and that you shouldn't depend on anyone anymore. its that dark feeling when someone you love dies on you, someone very close.... that is (my) silent hill....

[@YorkJonhson]

And the way the soundtrack was incorporated was one of the best I've seen in a game.

[@arquende]

this is most definitely the best cover version of the Elvis classic I've ever heard. It fits the lyrics better than the original. It's hard to beat the king, but not impossible.

[@LambdasTube]

One word: Epic. Need the OST!

[@luv4Aerith]

I agree. I'm a Silent Hill fan,and I LOVED this game to death! People need to stop complaining just because it's different from the other titles.

[@TheKratosMorrison]

damn sure the king is proud of this

[@203lilwayne]

Beautiful I listen to this when I play Fear :D

[@Traumschleier]

Exactly man,you making your own world :D

[@Suetekh27]

I can appreciate Shattered Memories for the more "run for your life" experience. U dont see that often. It got my blood pumpin. Somethin Homecoming didnt quite do, but I can also see the beauty in Homecoming for the plot

[@kaka765]

Beat this game a month ago, now I'm working my way through Silent Hill Origins. I gotta say, doesn't matter which game, the singer will make an amazing song for EVERY single game, period.

[@snakedroide]

Meda mucha nostalgia esta rola que buenos viejos tiempos :')

[@FromWishingDreams]

Silent Hill is a state of mind.

[@gaborpetroci]

Pffff Jesus what a Deep Song! This the future of music art!

[@NgJackal1990]

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da ...awesome openning ;)

[@kylecab31]

HOLY CRAP, this is so true. i thought i was the only dude that is not insane in this world lol.

[@peze80]

Hey juniorxx2! I just did some research and this is what I found out. Brenda Lee released this song in June 1972, that's the first EVER release. Elvis recorded his version in March '72 but it wasn't released until November '72. This means that he hadn't heard another version of it when he recorded it. And maybe Brenda actually recorded it AFTER him, just released it BEFORE him. I haven't found out when she recorded it ;)

[@automatwinslaytracks]

Ahh I love this, thanks for uploading. Such a shame that Akira left Konami.

[@ZombieGeet713]

This song is my new favorite

[@ChicoDiamante]

It really is an amazing cover. And I found your comment funny considering something similar can be said of the game itself.

[@MackySwo]

Io amo tutte le canzoni di Silent Hill sono così affascinanti e misteriose *-*

[@Nunyabizness98]

i also like how they kinda mash up the piano and dubstep versions together :)

[@WickedLiquid]

Damn, Silent Hill draws a lot of inspiration from Portishead, you can hear the influence. I love it!

[@Maxilun1]

I love this theme

[@f8j3jn]

this is a great game. It deliveres in story, characters and the feeling of mystery and this game just feels it was made to give people something different and unique istead of quick cash grab. This is a quality game and well worth the money

[@themaximum97]

Gives me chills. Wow... Never played the game, but it looks great.

[@Pogiforce]

Dude. I just discovered Willie Nelson wrote this song, like, decades ago. My mind is blown.

[@ShadowOne333]

@DravenAmoure: Mary Elizabeth McGlynn is the singer, while the credits for the melody itself goes to Akira Yamaoka. Both of them had been working together to create some of the songs heard in many Silent Hill titles since Silent Hill 3 (Which first introduced McGlynn in the soudntrack), whilst Akira has been performing the soundtrack of the whole series since the first game. (Excluding the upcoming Silent Hill Downpour, he left Konami a few months ago)

[@radiohead93]

Sounds like a mix of John Carpenter's classic horror movie scores, Massive Attack and Silent Hill. In other words, it's brilliant! I LOVE IT!

[@Criiskii]

Little things , I should have said and done uh? , interesting , Nice Song and lyrics =]

[@Martian1013Girl]

It is real. It's any place you've been in the past. It's in your head, it's in your dreams. It's in you, and it's terrifying. It's what you have done and what you neglected to do. It's all of your guilt and all of your misdeeds as well as all the misdeeds performed on you coming back to haunt you. It's every memory you've ever tried to forget, every lifestyle you've ever tried to escape, every dirty piece of laundry you've tried to bury and every bridge you've tried to burn. Silent Hill is real.

[@Martian1013Girl]

thanks :D

[@wardog166]

This is cool to walk through the dark to.

[@jayrockchik]

I just love to listen to SH's OST's while I make my dark nurse cosplays!

[@fuentesjuanjose90]

Dude the ending almost made me cry dang

[@djslapdash]

i like it when the horror genre use classic songs and turn them into cool eerie songs. A great example which i think Silent Hill borrowed from was from the movie '1408' ~ 'we only just begun['.

[@takeshithegamer3958]

That's so sad. :( Just remember, she's in a better place. :D

[@WoobooRidesAgain]

@LordMooseifer The Elvis version of this song was actually a cover its self, the original singer being recorded by country singer Brenda Lee. Since then, it has been covered by Willie Nelson, The Pet Shop Boys, B.B King and Shakira, among others.

[@WeSuckShow]

i love it , i love the song , i love the game...is just amazing

[@Lifesaver1990]

best music ever

[@zatra26irenicgriffin84]

silent hill origins's ost 'illusion in me' is still the best for me....

[@YamiKodoku]

A lot of people criticize Silent Hill 4 but this game, for me, has the best soundtrack of whatever silent hill game. This is not bad, but don't cause fear or something but the soundtrack of the room is very sad and dark.

[@Mathenaut]

Amazing Game, Amazing Soundtrack. Great tribute to the original.

[@RamsonRulez]

The 5 people who disliked this vid must be experiencing "NIGHTMARE" everynight.

[@Soulcalibur363]

This is Mary Mcglynn Elizabeth's way of turning an old folk song into something that will haunt your dreams

[@khansaa000]

Awesome song

[@gameboycolor47]

yup. for me it was in SH 2. I was in the hospital I had checked all three floors and was on a role. I was on my way to the save point when I turned a corner right into a two nurses with almost no health... stopped playing for about 3 days

[@samualdempsey3823]

i love the re-imagination of the story line! at first harry is looking for his daughter in a snow storm in the all-famous "silent hill" but in reality Cheryl is just in therapy remembering all of this while harry literally goes through hell to find her just to end up in another reality like if you want silent hill to be brought back! (spoilers!!!!!)

[@Prophet6000]

She is in my top 10 for talented singers

[@WickedLiquid]

It's not exactly a remake. Harry Mason talks about his experience from SH1 to a shrink which means it's set after SH1 and before SH3. The unique thing about this Silent Hill game is that each playthrough is a different experience. Your choices change the story, characters and enviroments. It could be something as simple as what you choose to examine, it's really an awesome game!

[@frozenmistress]

amazing track!

[@greenyxi]

Why does the video go on for so long after the song has ended? Great song :o

[@temarishikimaru]

apparently 14 are still stuck in silent hill and cant find their way out :/ ... i mean really, how can you not like any silent hill???

[@MissKarneval]

Silent Hill 2 was the best game, that i ever played!

[@scrltspdrslayer]

I hate to tell you but this game was not a "remake" of the first one it was a reimagining. Taking everything but the actual plot and putting a twist on it. I actually hope that this spins off into it's own spinoff of the series as at first the game was frustrating but it truely encompasses all of what SH is about. The exploration, the panic, the fear the helplessness, the solitude and the mindfuck that no other franchise can turn out like SH can.

[@cheezdoodle96]

Never thought Elvis chould sound this haunting and beautiful. Not that I don't like Elvis (@beautiful), but you know what I mean ;-)

[@YorkJonhson]

@perfecttakara *sniff* That was lovely mate. (In a Silent Hill-esque way. lol)

[@KM-hv1jg]

Ouch. This version hits home.

[@brunopkrecife]

Silent Hill is real, we live in the otherworld. Just open your eyes.

[@Bloodyidit]

wow, this actually makes me feel cold.

[@dylanNEEDSCOWBELL]

@Lupos1987 it is by Johnny Christopher, Mark James and Wayne Carson Thompson originally recorded by Brenda Lee.

[@tsuchinoko01]

Guys please help me, this oppressive but yet beautiful Sound always brings me to another place beyond reality and im desperately searching for other Songs that are compareable to this one. However i cant find songs that bring the same strange but satisfying melancholic feeling, even in the SH playlists. Have you got any suggestions for me? pls write back asap

[@jmahuen]

maybe youll like lorns music :)

[@llukas58]

Schnapp Lotus op no.1

[@DJ-nn3uu]

a moment of enlightment. This is a song from Johnny Christopher, Mark James and Wayne Carson, and was covered by a bunch of artists, like pet shop boys.

[@MissSorceress]

I didn't realize this was an older song by Elvis and Willie Nelson..crazy..sounds TOTALLY DIFFERENT, but awesome!

[@ZeroTheHeartlessKing]

DOOD that sucks, man i feel sorry for you (i don't have it but i heard the whole thing and i think it's worth it)

[@KnAtiOn12]

This game was NOT a remake. It was a REIMAGINING. HUUUUUUUUUGE difference.

[@otaviobarcelona]

I am going to Silent Hill right now. Thumbs up if u want a ride.

[@cinocefalia]

Elvis must be so proud of this...Even the Otherworld bows down to the king

[@punkduck6776]

amazing

[@truewilliamsboy]

all of the SH games a good 1-5 into shattered memories. clues are fun to find C:

[@NgJackal1990]

Hahaha those people who disliked this were afraid of some one might stand outside their window at midnight!

[@TheP1x3l]

Mary Elizabeth is gonna be at MetroCon!!!! I am so pumped~

[@stewyhua7808]

You are always on my mind

[@doktornpro]

so cool !!!!!!

[@HetaHeat6]

I've..I suppose, always been on the more "depressed" side of life for as long as I can remember. I had the best girlfriend I could ever ask for, who was always there to cheer me up and was beautiful and had a good sense of humor. I would always try my hardest to do the same for her, but it still seemed as though something was missing from me, as though I was neglecting her. She was killed a few days ago... I love this song to bits, but hearing it brings tears to my eyes as I think of her..

[@DevilDante92]

My Opinion! She is awesome!
