This Broken Soul - The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night Soundtrack

[@CrystalBlazier]

According to composer Rebecca Kneubuhl, This Broken Soul represents Spyro's relationship with Ignitus, and how we imagined he would feel having crossed over into Dark Spyro. But she and Gabriel Mann also wanted to create the song from a universal perspective about our own selves. "Everyone has a part of them that doesn't always do the right thing. Sometimes our darker nature takes over, despite our best intentions. Ultimately no one wants to stay there, so we look for guidance and ask for help, and a way out."

[@oscarkageson-loe]

Definitely how I would view it, and I would’ve used it for other things and here some examples. In episode 3 of Star Wars as you said everyone always has darker intentions and a part of them that always don’t do the right thing. For Anakin he has to look for guidance and the whole reason for him turning was because he wanted to end the war and save Padme even if that meant destroying the Jedi. Obi-Wan also some what does the same thing as he struggles to believe the council is doing the right thing and is also trying to be there for his friend. They relationship is shown through out this film. Another example is Spider-Man. After watching No way home his darkness is revealed and he is left on his own. To me, this represents Spider-Man’s relationship with Iron man as Iron man made him a better person but with him gone, Spider-Man has to turn to himself for guidance eventually he wants to look for a way out and leave even if he has to let go of his dream. Don’t know if you are a marvel or Star Wars fan but I do agree with as I am a big Spyro fan

When I first heard this song, I thought it was more about Cynder, and her regrets about when she was corrupted by darkness.

[@LP-oi8me]

2022 and still listening to this. This song was my childhood, it gets me emotional every time! ♡

[@GeorgieCarapella]

2024 it still brings tears to my body and soul

[@th3mii.926]

relieving my childhood and i just realized how much this trilogy really means a lot to me, especially listening to songs and soundtracks, it just got me and i just started crying- man... i miss these games. they built up everything, especially my love for dragons as a whole.

Hey! Your comment makes me happy and nostalgic too, I just wanted to tell you if you love the Legend of Spyro series that much, I've started a discord server for its community! It's small and empty and pretty barebones at the moment because it just began a day or two ago, but soon I hope to have a bunch of people that love and cherish the game like I do in a small community where we can all enjoy ourselves and live our nostalgia together! If you're interested in joining it's here: discord.gg/rEU9yFZ If you dont want to join that's okay though!

I'm an adult and this is completely wrecking me. THE FEELS ARE VERY REAL AND VERY HEAVY.

[@emiliablackthorn]

Say what you want about this particular era of Spyro in my honest opinion the legend of Spyro as a series was one of my favorite telling stories of Spyros history and it was consistent across all three games in a real story that isn’t usually seen in Spyro games the music is amazing the story was consistent and I think the game needs a bit more recognition of the good things about this series and not focus on the fact that “the design was changed so therefore it is automatically a terrible game”

[@codename618]

[@dfox6222]

Unpopular opinion incoming: The Legend of Spyro’s storytelling is better than the first three games. As much as I love first three Spyro games, their stories are kind of boring compared to the Legend series.

[@emiliablackthorn]

@@dfox6222 it’s story is literally the life of Spyro the legendary purple dragon and it’s constantly on that point so yeah while the designs aren’t great (sparx is the biggest offender) it’s still a good game

[@evanhunt1863]

Cynder's lament. Her regret for what she has done - and a call for help, for someone to show her the way back to the light.

[@ethancurtsinger172]

Which is still sad since none of it was her fault Gaul took her then Malefor used her ever since she first hatched from that moment

[@ladvargleinad7566]

I was about to write that even if it according to the wiki is meant to represent Spyro's relationship with Ignitus, it feels more like it is sung by Cynder.

[@ethancurtsinger172]

@@ladvargleinad7566 guess it still depends on others perspective of the song “This Broken Soul”

[@Chillseer]

@@ladvargleinad7566 both fit very well. Either on accident or purpose they managed to give this song several meanings that are quite different from each other. The several meanings really can make this song that much more personal since there are ways certain people view the song. Because of this it managed to become on favorite song, the DotD Guide You Home being a close second. Not many songs like this, makes it that much better...

[@Seeker-wq8jc]

Scroll on if you don't want emotional drama (seriously, deep vent ahead), but at seemingly the loneliest point in my life, I find myself coming back to this song. It hits so deep. It's such a natural fit, listening to this song while feeling isolated, alone, and confused. Remembering my mistakes and my regrets. I feel lost, trying to find my way somehow. This song always hit a powerful place in me, and right now it's such a perfect fit for my mental state. I just don't know who I am or what to do anymore. I feel myself slipping more and more to a dark place, feeling the black emotions taking me over. Just feeling...hopelessness. Feeling a sense of impending doom as I feel myself slowly wither away, viewing the world around me and those within it seemingly from another dimension, like some kind of spirit. Yet at the same time, feeling powerful anger and resentment burning within me, hating my current predicament and feeling defiance towards it. Part of me wants to give up, feeling there's nowhere to go and that it's all over, while the other part of me violently rejects everything and wants to lash at it and crush it a fit of burning rage. It's a confusing and painful place to be. I feel myself wanting to fall to my knees in despair and either laugh hysterically or cry, or both as very conflicting emotions that cannot coexist clash. Overall I just feel the overwhelming sense that I'm horribly lost and am trying to find my way again, wandering in the pitch dark, seeking some sort of guidance or light, something this song touches beautifully.

[@Darkspinesupersonic8]

hey. I cant really do much as a stranger on the internet but I hope it's gotten better, even if just by a little bit. it can take time to get out of those feelings and I've definitely been there before myself, in my own way.

[@Seeker-wq8jc]

Oh yeah...this comment. This song. Hard to forget, but a particular moment in my life I try to, nonetheless. I do significantly appreciate your words and your attempt to help, more than you will ever know. It's been a strange time in my life, these past few years, and I've dealt with depression pretty badly. There's a lot of factors I won't go into, but in any case, I was at a real low point emotionally when I made the comment. It was a very uncertain and lonely time in my life where I truly felt lost, and felt I had nowhere to go, nothing to exist for. There was a lot of things going through me emotionally at the time, and this particular OST hits extremely hard to me for some reason. In that very dark moment, it spoke to me, and I was compelled to write the comment. This OST has always hit home for me ever since I first heard it, and has always been special to me. But in that really bad moment of mine, it really messed with me inside, and I broke. I can't say I was any better for a time after the comment, I was a wreck for while. Things have improved a lot for me this past year, really these past handful of months specifically. I'm in a significantly more stable state these days, thanks to the help of someone very dear to me. I'm definitely no longer prone to suddenly falling to the purgatory-like state as with before, where I'm not even dead,, but couldn't care either way, and feel like I'm spiritually in another dimension. I do have my moments still, the wounds within me still go quite deep, but they're no longer bleeding the way they were before. I do become depressed from time to time, but it's nothing on the level that it was at the time I made the comment, I assure. Your words are extremely meaningful to me, and I do intensely appreciate your effort. Stranger on the internet or not, you tried to help, and that is worth more than you will ever know. I'm in a much less worrisome state now than I was at the time of the comment, so don't lose too much sleep over it. I may not be perfect, but I'm healing substantially. I do hope things are very well in your own life, that the world treats a kind soul such as yourself with mercy and generosity. You deserve great things, and I wish you joy and peace. Thank you sincerely for your attempt to help, friend. May the ancestors look after you. May they look after us all.

[@adventurerretro3766]

​@@Seeker-wq8jc How are you feeling now?

[@Seeker-wq8jc]

I am doing well-ish these days, thank you for asking. I still forget I made that comment so long ago. I would not say I am "stable" on my own, and it is mostly a close person in my life that keeps me together each day, but nonetheless, I am well because of them. At a point in my life where I'm questioning a lot of things and not sure what to do with myself, frankly there's a lot of uncertainty and lack of direction or true "purpose". But, I am still here day to day, surviving as anybody else. How are you, in turn? It's wonderful to see you must have been listening to this amazing song. Ironically, I've been thinking about playing through TLoS again sometime soon. It's been entirely too long...

[@DispairNL]

This trilogy is really what made Spyro and its characters shine the brightest, it brought emotion with the characters, depth to them. Serious topics like death, abuse. What Cynder had to endure, the pressure on Spyro's shoulders sometimes becoming too much for him too bare. I loved those moments of weakness where he almost gave in to darkness, where he had to pulled out by those close to him. It showed that Spyro is not some immortal creature, he can fail too. He does not have the power too beat the darkness forever, but with Cynder and his friends at his side they may still have shot at a peacefull life. LoS trilogy, you always have a special place in my heart untill my own death and beyond, you were more then just games too me.

[@Blazcowitz1943]

I remember the first time I finished this game and this song started. My eyes and ears were glued to the screen, and I felt completely gutted. I remember telling myself that this couldn't be it because Spyro never loses! But he had, and he and Sparx and Cynder were trapped. It completely knocked me flat, but when I saw that cutscene after the credits, I felt hyped to see the story concluded! A year later, Dawn of the Dragon was released, and the rest is history...

[@DPS1194]

Just from hearing this song, it makes one wonder who's soul was the most broken throughout the series. Cynder has gone through so much because of Malefor, and Spyro's relationship with Ignitus was so endearing, it showed how much he's looked up to him like a father figure in his life until his death.

The Legend of Spyro series may not have been the best but its soundtrack? Unbeatable.

[@ericmurotake5180]

Honestly, they were REALLY good games, hamstrung by the developer shifts. If they were to get redone by someone like Toys For Bob or the like, with a consistent vision (using 3 as a base), and with current gen consoles in mind, I think they'd be FANTASTIC

[@FunGuy635]

Is there any place that actually sells cds of both LoS: a new beginning and The Eternal Night?

[@NinoNakano1984]

While you are listening to this you are thinking about the chaos malefor is causing while you are trapped in the well of souls for 3 years, just this music feels like you lost the battle and the greatest evil of all beings has arrived and no one can stop him and every1 believes you're dead all this time

[@karoliina-A]

Here I am listening this master piece after many, many years when I first time played the Eternal Night and the whole trilogy game. I remember how confused I was at the end of the game and I did not understand why the game ended like that. Then I started to search info when will the game continue and I remember that my waiting was so long. The Legend of Spyro trilogy was my childhood and I remember the story clearly. This song and every memory makes me emotional. This song hits different when you are older just like Guide you home... The feels, they too strong.

From what I can tell it was at some point, but just isn't anymore. Or maybe the links I've seen to it on Spotify are for different regions.

[@tedgruver7618]

This song, it gives off a somber vibe of Spyro’s first decent into the darkness and the cliffhanger ending of Spyro incasing himself, Cynder and Sparx in a crystal shell to protect themselves from the collapse of the Well of Souls with Spyro too exhausted to fly, leaves you wondering what’s going to happen next.

[@SquishyZoran]

I find myself coming back to this song time and time again. I’ve had people turn on me including people who I thought were friends but stabbed me in the back for one reason for another and some try to ruin me but It is not just them but I feel that I’m ignored,glossed over and sometimes unwelcome and in general I don’t belong and I even know that I’m trying to conform since I’m the polar opposite of so many. While I feel much better now though as time has gone on I still listen to this to help remember how far I have come

[@ShadedGamez]

I want a hd remake of this trilogy because in this day where they're common, I believe if it got a update we could see it continued to tlos 4 if not I'd be happy to just have a hd copy I own all 3 and want to own em a second time and relive the story

Yeah especially since many Princesses have pain they have to keep contained for their people, not alot really care to think of how they feel and just the position, many like me surely dont but many do, I even did the right thing in a roleplay and acted calm, helpful with teaching about TVs and the Princess Luna roleplayer was authentic, felt like the actual Luna and I didn't do anything cruel just because she's a Unicorn/Pegassus.
