The Great Unknown by Miracle Of Sound (Epic Synth Rock) (Mass Effect)

[@miracleofsound]

Song is out now on iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp, Spotify etc... enjoy!!! And thank you for your support

[@miracleofsound]

I'm glad the songs bring you some comfort & joy :) Please stay strong and keep finding that joy & beauty in life!

[@MatthewBowman]

Don't let go, Nileon. :) I know how you feel. There's a band that speaks to me like that, with the same effect upon the same problem.

[@MatthewBowman]

Depression leeches joy out of your life and can turn things you love into distant memories. That's not you or the thing you love. Depression blocks your true perception. Go do something different for a while. I recommend a walk in the woods while listening to Gavin's music, but that's just off the top of my head. Depression is an illness like any other, but like mist chronic illnesses, coping mechanisms tend to be different from person to person and even change based on the day. Sometimes I need the woods. Sometimes I need to create art. Sometimes I need a video game, or a hug, or ice cream, or to see a small child look at something I made and go "Wow!" Something that may help, at least to know you're not alone, is an article I wrote a while back explaining what depression is like. thecatholicgeeks.com/2015/06/18/a-look-inside-depression/

[@MatthewBowman]

NileonMatter Depression will always make it seem like you'll never get better. Like I said, it's an illness. When you have a cold, you probably feel like it'll never end. And that's a small illness. Depression is chronic. It's always lurking like something alive. It's not, but sometimes it's helpful to visualize it as something you can fight. I've gotten to the point that I can recognize, even deep in depression, that what I'm feeling is probably false. When I come back out, which might be in a few hours or two months, it'll seem obvious that it was all an illusion. But when it's there, it's more real that what I can touch.

[@MatthewBowman]

What you described is depression. You're just seeking a different solution to the same problem.

[@onyxtay7246]

Let's take a moment to see the minutia of this song. The chorus throughout the whole thing goes. "Into the great unknown The stars light up the stones We’re carried ever onward Upon a hope of home Oh oh oh oh " As the chorus is sung one last time it changes, a small change, but a powerful one. "Into the great unknown The stars light up the stones We carry ever onward Upon a hope of home Oh oh oh oh " *We carry ever onward". No longer is it "we're carried", but "we carry". It changes from someone who simply goes along, to someone who moves, and changes things. We're could mean we are, or we were. It's about how Ryder went from following his/her father, being carried onward by the pathfinder, to being that pathfinder. Ryder is now carrying humanity into the great unknown. Gav's songs always reference things in a good way. He puts in musical references to previous songs in a series, and he puts in references to the game lore. It's rarely obvious, but it really shows these aren't just pumped out, they're things that take commitment, and care about something to make.

[@DrDrCr4zy]

Avarickan this is a very great, meaningful and high-class comment! was too tired to get this only hearing it (kinda noticed a difference... but u kno..) thank you very much man! PS only sad it has so less attention c:

[@miracleofsound]

I love when people notice these small details :) It makes the effort put into to writing the songs worth it :)

[@jovanperovic5399]

Whoa! I've actually noticed your comment and payed attention to the lyrics. Awesome switch of roles! :)

[@worgen65]

I agree with you wholeheartedly; it's refreshing seeing musicians like MoS putting such effort into their work. Any number of others would just quit before putting such detail into their music, and I find it fantastic that Gav is not one of those. Wasted talent if he were!

[@The.Stalker]

"Ryder, you have AVP Outstanding." New perk: Entertainment pods. "Receive the occasional morale boosting soundtrack from Milky Way artist 'Miracle of Sound.'"

[@pauldickinson3961]

I'm a simple man. I see a notification from Miracle Of Sound, I click it. But in all seriousness, this truly is a work of art. I really liked the way it seemed to capture the solemn majesty of space while keeping the intensity of the game.

[@badgerbane]

At this point I'm genuinely confused why game publishers haven't picked up Gav to do their trailers for them. He'd probably charge pennies compared to their 'big budget marketing team', and he can make even the shittiest games look incredible. I'm pretty sure if he did a song for bad rats it'd be on the top of steam best-sellers by the end of the day.

[@dissentinel8]

He actually just did do a song for a game with the musicians from the Witcher 3. "Seven - The Day Long Gone"

[@Sheldezare]

Pretty sure he explained he doesn't like contracted work very much.

[@dragonjo7550]

I just know that if I was making a game, I would give him early access and ask for some sweet tunes for the game. or something along those lines. this guy is a genius

[@Hazyfantazie2]

problem is the corporations tend to think they know best and interferes instead of paying Gav what he asks for upfront and letting him do his thing which would probably mean it is completed more quickly and with better quality

[@MrProthall]

Except that Mass Effect Andromeda wasn't nearly as shit as the youtube parasites made everyone believe.

[@angelgirl976]

My favourite thing about Gav's music is that when we hear a song like this we're not just hearing music and words. We're being taken on an odyssey to an amazing place where our favourite stories and worlds are immortalised through song. And that to me is the amazing thing of all.

[@someirishkid9241]

Those Crucible undertones though... I love it :D

[@SultanOfAwesomeness]

I was wondering why it sounded so familiar. ;D

[@someirishkid9241]

Ikr! I spent half the song thinking 'I know I recognise that motif, but from where?' When you see it, though, you wonder how you missed it.

[@TheLurkingWriter]

Crucible was so brilliant that on subsequent replays of ME3, I'd always get confused why I couldn't hear it when I'd reach the Crucible in-game. Seriously, put it alongside the actual soundtrack and I dare you to say it doesn't fit seamlessly.

[@darthnazgul]

SomeIrishKid It took me a while but as soon as I recognised it, I was overwhelmed. Absolutely breathtaking.

[@equilibrium138]

Up to this moment i was like "nah, this song is good, but not a genius. there is not even a ME atmosphere". As soon as I heard familiar notes, i just thought "yes, this is still about Mass Effect". And tried to not cry to the whole end of the song.

[@dral_beskar]

I hear bits of Crucible and bits of the main theme from ME1, and it all blends together into a beautiful whole. Gets me excited for the time when I can actually afford a machine that can run the game. Excellent song as always, Gav.

[@TheLurkingWriter]

Having not yet played Andromeda (no XB1 / PS4 or a PC capable of running it yet), I can't comment on how this relates to the actual game. I'm not even looking at the video itself in case of (unintentional) spoilers. What I *will* say, however, is how amazing this song feels to me: I adore the callback to Crucible, the instantly catchy riffs and chorus, the synthy-ness (that is a word) and subtle ME1 theme melody - it's like a love letter to the entire Mass Effect series and we lucky few who happen to be fans (of ME and MoS). Gav, you are without question a musical genius and it is criminal that you're not more well-known and receiving the attention you clearly deserve. I'm pretty much guaranteed to be a fan for the rest of my life. Major Kudos to you, sir, and may you keep on rockin'!

[@miracleofsound]

thank you. having you guys as an audience more than makes up for not having mainstream success

[@miracleofsound]

Yeah I'm pretty happy where I am :) direct line with the audience plus 100% of my profit as opposed to the 7-10% I'd earn on a label

@@troyscribner4342 Do you have a source for this? I'd like to learn more, as far as I know they were initially planning a very different game more focused on exploration with procedurally generated planets, which turned out not great so they had to start over with like 1.5 years left until release.

Ill link it here in a reply if I remember to do so but im busy atm. In short though much of what they worked on was scrapped because they needed to make a “more monetizable game” And yea, they had impossible deadlines to work with, terrible marketing assistance, and many more problems.

That's quite a compliment :)

[@IMPULSEGaming1]

Athedia "made you love music _again?_" Why, did you have a period when you hated all music?

[@LuckyAthedia]

Yeah, when I get tired of it. When I just hit skip on everything on my playlist. Burnout happens. But there is so much variety with MoS that I can't get bored.

[@threePwny]

I feel you. I have an unfortunate tendency to get enraptured by a song, listen to it at the exclusion of all else for days, then get sick of it and ignore it for years. So far, I've done steps 1 and 2 with a couple dozen of Gav's songs, but curiously, never step 3.

[@nikravil]

I am not usually crying listening songs, but this is one of them

[@zj6074]

Gav clearly spent about 4 hours tweaking the face in the character creator to get that Ryder. :)

There is a title/job that is not used much these days and that is Bard.

This is honestly more "Mass Effect" than the entirety of Mass Effect Andromeda's soundtrack. Your best this year by far. Great job.

[@HighEvolutionary175]

+1 the song gave me goosebumps! I know it's overused in games media, but "Epic" is genuinely what this it feels like

[@issmkc]

He used the same melody as ME1 theme.

[@Dragonmots]

What theme was so "not mass effect" then? It sounded a bit different sure but imo it still had the same atmosphere.

[@02091992able]

The club music for Andromeda was pretty unique it wasn't from other EA titles, the ones I am mainly talking about is Staggered Injection and Callista the music played in the upper level of Afterlife in ME 2 and I believe the lower level soundtrack was from Need for Speed games. All of the ones for Andromeda the developers asked some artist to do tracks for the nightclubs my favorite personally is Proton Bells by Koba.

[@DraycoVideo]

I didn't play the original Mass Effect trilogy until pretty late, about 2014. By then all of Gav's phenomenal Mass Effect series songs were out and I enjoyed the hell out of them. With Mass Effect 3 being my favorite game of all time, songs like Take It Back and Crucible had become as much a part of my Mass Effect experience as the game itself. And since I've finished, I feel like I'd left behind some great memories of the crew and adventures of those games. When that Crucible sting hit at 2:51, I was right back there on the Citadel with all those friends again, tearing up from the happy memories. From the bottom of my heart, thanks Gav. Never stop being amazing.

[@mattdunn6313]

some people were disappointed by this game but I still really like it regardless of their opinions about it. there were a lot of bugs and glitches but I'm playing it now and the patches that they've done have really taken care of most of them.

I discovered the game at its latest version, and I'm blown away. Apart from some glitches in ambiant conversation, it's an extraordinary experience.

[@EmperorMarx]

This game is incredible.

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

My problem isn't the gameplay. My problem is the completely nonsense writing and the complete lack of common sense anyone in the Initiative showed. Like, the Initiative was handed an Idiot Ball.

Yet another masterpiece. You've captured both the optimism and the struggle in one song. And the classic Mass Effect theme in the background made me smile instantly.

Hope Hope Hope, that´s the word, it´s in my head beating non-stop, reminding me with its embrace and warmth of what it feels like to be alive. Discovery, Struggle, New Beginnings, Love, Fear and, through its darkest moments, Hope shining bright through it all. Thank you, Gav… Thank you so much…

From what I heard it was that old AAA game killer, rushed deadlines. Publishers seem to do this a lot, and it rarely turns out well. Really rarely. I don't know why they always choose to waste whatever investment they had already put into the game in favor of getting it out slightly faster. I know it must cost a lot to keep an AAA studio running for even a week, but...you'd think that's why they have a publisher at all...I guess I just don't understand business.

I absolutely adored the game, and I am SO glad you liked it enough to be inspired to do a song about it. It's been out for a while now, but only now have I been able to play it. And now I can at last listen to this song. So, while late to the party, I applaud you.

This song has taken on a bittersweet tone for me as of late, 'cause it is now extremely doubtful we will get DLC for this, or a sequel. I am so disappointed in you, EA.

Well, the folks over on new BSN started with the #SaveTheQuarians hashtag. Maybe it'll do something, you never know. I suppose it's worth a shot.

Whenever i sing along with this song, i have a habit of mixing up "made" and "laid". But then i remember its a bioware game, so it all works out
