Braid Soundtrack - [Full] - [HQ]

[@JD-yo4mv]

2021 anyone? This game still takes up a big spot in my heart, I was little and I remember my mother playing with me sitting behind her watching. and when I got older I tried to play by myself and I was so consumed by the story and soundtrack that sometimes I think it was all a big dream

[@blue_titania]

still here

[@DJRevan]

Waiting for the anniversary edition.

[@wrightphoenix3401]

It just feels like a sword in the heart a really good and emotional one. I love how the story and the whole game can be described by music and this proves it but I am still really scared after the alt and normal endings. (Do not search it if you are too deep emotionally and have not seen it yet.)

[@mattkrell]

I play Downstream regularly on my own violin; I like to think this game has had a profound impact on my life

[@Xonatron]

This soundtrack should go down in history as one of the best ever.

[@diegorojas2049]

+Xo na (Matthew Doucette) This game is what solidifies videogames as art

[@Xonatron]

Diego Rojas Indeed. The argument has been put to rest with Braid (even though we already knew the answer the whole time).

[@theespers5263]

I'd put the game down with it.

[@camishere4584]

Haha i get it because reverse

[@anhlenhat5135]

thanks!

[@earthboundmother205]

This game/soundtrack always reminds me of fall. When I would drive back roads in my hometown to the soundtrack, I would experience the air, the drenched fall colors and feel like a king surveying the land. EPIC

[@NSB0953]

Very few games can achieve what this game has. A true focus on the immersive quality of art and music. Throughout the game, it invites you to a sense of passion that delivers itself with it's simple mechanics but more importantly; a thought provoking emotional rollercoaster of visuals & sounds. 10/10 for being one of the few games brave enough to take us there and back (no time traveling pun intended).

[@TheBrickMasterB]

This is one of the games that got recommended to me as a way to get over heartbreak. It helped for a time. I can't say I've gotten through it yet, but I can at least say I got to experience a work of art like this.

[@badoringfan]

Hope you feel better soon. Wishing you best!

[@weronikaradawska9851]

2023 - still the best

[@micalishis]

Sometimes I wouldn't want to rewind just so that I could listen to the music without interruptions.

[@Gilpow]

For me, instead, it was part of the beauty of that music, which was chosen also for the fact that it sounds interesting when listened backwards

[@PlaguedByEarth]

Gilpow Tim's power was a wound upon the universe. It makes sense that whenever you use it you are rewarded with an assault to the senses.

[@Gilpow]

PlaguedByEarth I didn't feel it as an assault to my senses.. btw, Gamespot wrote that "[Blow] ultimately selected eight tracks that were sufficiently long to avoid notable looping while a player attempted to solve a difficult puzzle, and that provided a "different and interesting" sound when played in reverse to match the reverse time mechanic of the gameplay"

[@stringnerd]

create a playlist and just add this video in it, then choose repeat playlist. Profit!

[@iamlucidess]

Gilpow Great, now someone needs to upload "Braid Soundtrack (In reverse)"

[@BlackbirdObyri]

The best word to describe this game is Magical. With a capital M. That's because it's not only just a good game. It's as engaging with your emotions as the best movie that will make you cry. This is just perfect. The music, the story, the character you don't even know but feel so closely related to. I can't even explain it more, cause more words will simply destroy what has been said. Much props.

[@newagetapes]

say this instead of what you said: Complex, and Amazing game, both with capital letters. that's it. that's all you need to say.

[@Dev-nr4dw]

Rachel LaFein I hope this is a joke but if it isn't, Braid is not a game on mobile devices you can get it on pc, ps3, xbox 360 and ps5.

[@rideatmora6179]

Fun fact: the piece that goes between 7:38 and 10:10 (inside Downstream) was actually composed by Bieito Romero and it's called "O son do ar". :D I wish more people who know and love his work would know how far his influence has come

[@staabmia]

I'm 48 and I love videogame soundtracks. Think if videogames of my youth like pacman and frogger and asteroids had amazing soundtracks like this I'd still be playing them.

[@AzzRushman]

it's like listening to a concert, but sometimes videogames have so nice soundtracks that it's even better than hearing an actual concert

[@ashwin8084]

KASUwonderlandOnline Sometimes videogames have such nice soundtracks that you even stop playing to listen to it :p

[@AzzRushman]

Ashwin Srivastava or you go back to play it again just for the soundtrack, i did that with Granado Espada a few times

[@guesswhostalkin]

A wonderful soundtrack for a wonderful game.

[@andyknowles666]

This game was a literal nightmare. But the Undercurrent music told me I must finish it. which I did. In the end I loved it. Never to return

[@BluVoodu]

I lost track of the amount of times tingles shot down my spine. Everything about this soundtrack is so otherworldly and beautiful and fits so amazingly with a game as unique as Braid. Glad I got to hear it without having it rewound every 5 seconds.

[@RebeccaETripp]

What an exquisite soundtrack!

[@andrewfender2896]

I listened to the full OST on Spotify so much that my free limit ran out. Then I came here and listened to it more. Thanks for the upload

[@bbaxter96]

I recall many a time when I just wanted to relax, read, or sleep, and I would leave on my Xbox just to hear this music (especially from the second world). Soothing and fantastic, all in one, not forgetting how fantastic the game is as well. It takes on a narrative that creates a unique, complex, and extremely entertaining story for everyone and anyone to play and enjoy. If this game does not become a classic in the video game industry, then we have failed as a society to recognize something easily identifiable as a modern-day Mona Lisa equivalent.

[@svbcvltvra1914]

This music is beyond a soundtrack. Emotional and heart touching at the same time. I'm sure that this music will accompany me and others trough the journey of our lives

[@pezelbuda]

The creators of Braid licensed nearly all of their music from existing albums on Magnatune. I remember listening to Downstream and the Luliby Set years before Braid come out. Also, if you liked Downstream, check out a tune called "A Son Do Ar", which appears to be the source of one of it's melodys.

[@MartinPasquier]

nice one. the clip is quite amazing as well ; )

[@MartinPasquier]

Wow the second part of this A Son Do Ar is very surprising, like Celtic music!

[@Bastix1x1]

is it possible that A Son Do Air was used in anno 1503 ? i have the feeling that i heard that a long time ago :)

[@AlbertBalbastreMorte]

Welp, it is Galician music, so Celtic it is.

[@edhc44]

Braid was the game that made me believe in the indie scene. Nowadays, I mostly skip the so-called AAA and resort myself to playing indie games. BTW, Jonathan Blow is sort of my hero. Can't wait for The Witness!

[@gggrow]

Did you enjoy the witness?

[@SuperBloodborneMaker2]

It's the end of 2023, and today they just announced the braid remake is launching in April 2024. Never forget Braid.

[@ASleeplessWolf]

[Inspired by Braid] As Tim ponders the ebb and flow of time, he interrogates it, brow furrowed. It slips away from him like a fleeting tide. Upon chasing it down, his mind waxes and wanes like the moon itself. Was his dark brighter than his light? Tim stands knee deep in water, watching the moon enveloped in drifting clouds. In the distance, he discerns an island, its shadowy form revealing the outline of a castle atop its peaks. He finds a rowboat near a distant pier, stealing it in the sleepless night like time itself. With sharp resolve, he penetrates the waves that splash against his shoddy vessel. His eyes never leave the island but for a glance at the ephemeral moon, soon to be outshone by dawn's light. The castle was close. Tim disembarks. Exasperated, he clambers his way to the castle, only to observe how the rocks had been worn down over time. Tide and riptide erode even the most resilient structures. The castle gradually betrayed by sunken land, Tim rests against its rocks, a sunken man.

18:34 I love when games use ancient music. That's "Romanesca" by Diego Ortiz from the early 17th century. Here's a version by Jordi Savall: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHbKZnahYrahebc

[@sas1ska]

никогда не забуду, как эта игра повлияла на меня

[@jordandykema6397]

This makes me think of the 2001: A Space Odyssey soundtrack. Hand-picked songs that were not created for the pieces of art that utilized them, yet when paired become iconic and hard to separate from each other.

[@petermanstrate1372]

Beautiful. Thanks for the full upload!

Brings back happy memories of playing this game 10/10!

[@gi_nattak]

That crow cawing sound at the very end of 'O son do ar' always gets me lol.

[@seangoolsby3898]

Some say it's a story of a toxic relationship. Other say it's a story of the atom bomb. Both are beside the underlying point. Braid is a parable of passion-turned-obsession and the ensuing collateral damage when the obsessed finally gets what he thought he wanted. In that regard, it is an absolute masterpiece.

[@Chloe4656.]

Everything in this game was a piece of art. I should be nominated to the oscars for the history of games, or something like that. Have you seen those animations? Have you go fall deep into its music magic? Did you get tangled in this misterious history? I did all of those, not just to play a game but for the joy of my soul... "The greatest game ever made" Definitly yes
