A orchestral version of Travelers by BetaGamer07
-Wallpaper/Video Artist: Unknow, if you are the artist or you know who is, please let me know.
It's my first video here, and i hope make more songs versions of more videogames ^-^

[@betagamer07]

Thank you all very much for the great support, I made another version of Outer Wilds OST, (End Times x Can you hear the Music) Here's kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2G1hK1-lrWMhM0si=qPs1bxqwLP3Wk8uU

[@cgkase6210]

"I'm glad you remembered me." -Solanum

[@Testosul]

"Are you sure you want to remember *me*?" -the Prisoner

[@NoelistAvenger]

@@TestosulIt's funny... And sweet that, even though the Protagonist already had a lot of friends on Timber Hearth, including his fellow spacers, the most significant friendships he'll make during his journey will be with two long-dead aliens who lived over 200 000 years ago. And yet, in the end, those two aliens are right there with folks he's known for his whole life at the end of his adventure.

Solanum's piano will always always hit so hard

[@duxtk]

true

[@niizles]

And the fact that you can finish the game without even hearing this part of the song makes it hit even harder, I'm so glad I met her on the quantum moon.

[@SergioRodriguez-po3dl]

"This song is new to me, but I am honored to be a part of it." and then I can't see through the tears anymore

[@grimbalim]

solanum’s piano will always be with me

[@Vakter_Dars]

Indeed.

[@locusdoesgaming3703]

Okay, who else almost cried the moment they heard the Prisoner’s part? Thankful he wasn’t forgotten

[@starwatcher4328]

"...How beautiful. It's different than l'd envisioned. Whatever happens next, do not think it is to be feared."

[@johnjoe5846]

I didn't... cause I was already tearing up from Solanum's piano

[@HorzaPanda]

I full on wept when he asked if he could join in. Of course he can 😭

[@protonjones54]

yesss 😭

[@jameshill9812]

Almost? Definitely! I love all of you this game brings together

[@TrazynPrime]

this game didn't give me existential dread it actually gave me a sense of finality, its a beautiful game

[@protonjones54]

What do you mean by finality?

[@TrazynPrime]

@@protonjones54 the sense of closure that the your world has ended but in the act of creating a new beginning. Everything is done for you its time to make a new beginning for others to enjoy the universe. That may not include you but you lived your life and thats all you need. Life your life, you will die at the end but theres no need to fight it, you still have a long way to go before that end, make it worth living instead of dreading about the heat death of the universe that will happen billions of years in the future when we are dust in the wind. Life is worth living, even if its hard. Thats what makes it life.

[@alexv1154]

Perhaps one of the biggest themes of this game, and particularly the DLC ironically, is that there is no need to be afraid.

[@TrazynPrime]

@@alexv1154 yeah your time may be over but it is just the beginning for so many more thanks to your sacrifice, death is final but life goes on i get that same feelings when i watch timelapse vids of nature taking over architecture,

[@jacksmith8299]

I agree, existential dread wasn't the vibe. For me, it was a profound sense of beauty. Who better to [do the thing at the end] than someone who's travelled everywhere, learned everything, met everyone, and everyone. Should [thing that happens at the end] happen to us, we'd be to have such a person be the sole influence on the process.

I'd like to suggest that there is room for a sequel; not entirely sure how, but I need more. It's just too wonderful to end. But that's life, isn't it?

[@thatoriginalguy6213]

I would say it deserves a sequel, that I hope it never gets. The point of outer wilds is to except the inevitable, bitter end for a better tomorrow without you. Seeing that tomorrow kinda diminishes the point, don't you think?

[@WoodlandDrake]

@@thatoriginalguy6213 to some extent... I'd say the point of Outer Wilds is more along the lines of "be curious" and regardless, a sequel could take the message, whatever it may be, and flip it on it's head. Every good point should have an equally good counterpoint. Suppose the next universe is in danger of ending prematurely due to one over-eager species seeking out the Eye. While we should accept a better tomorrow, we should still take advantage of the time we have; while we should be curious, we should still be cautious.

[@Youbii]

Imagine a sequel on the nomai

[@IncarnateSable]

@@WoodlandDrake I would argue more that the message is that sometimes it's okay to just let go.

[@ski6035]

@@WoodlandDrake Hypothesis: the sequel may involve the new described universe but this is unlikely and will likely involve a new adventure to experience and end.

[@VorthodWiler]

A beautiful rendition, but my mind is just stuck thinking about the one guy in the middle of the orchestra surrounded by dozens of very serious people on their expensive instruments while he just whistling into a microphone.

[@chase5436]

Ain't his fault every human is born with one of the most complicated and beautiful instruments in the world, our voices.

[@dntbe2sirius]

That is the Natural of all the Instruments in Relation.

[@davinrucker9173]

This genuinely made me cry. It’s hard to put into words how this game has impacted my life. I was never suicidal, but I can confidently say this game saved me. It showed me what the medium of games can do and the stories they can tell. The way a silly space game taught me to love my mortality, and to live, is insane. These devs may never know my name, but they’ll always have a place in my heart, and I’ll always be brought to tears when I hear a banjo.

[@alexandergreene461]

The Hearthians are many, some are nervous, some are fearful, some are lax beyond reason, others devoted to discovering every corner they can reach. But they all have a common factor, they possess the spirit of adventure. The Nomai are highly technical, they love the universe we live in, and wish to understand its most esoteric aspects intimately. They share a cavalier nature with the Hearthians, almost to a fatal degree. The Travelers do not belong here, even less than the Nomai, their ships seem powered by mysticism rather than tech, their capabilities strange and unfamiliar. Their sin was fearing what comes next. The prisoner was terrified he would carry that cowardly nature into the next universe. But he brought with him something far more important, a desire to atone for the mistakes of his people, something gravely missing from the rest of the cast. Together they shape the next universe to have the best shot we’ve yet seen for it.

[@xDarkTrinityx]

The video itself had some really nice touches. The orbs floating up mimicking the color changes of the sun over time to disappearing.. the green lantern/nomai light cubes moving through the woods... the marshmallow stick & instruments phasing in and out. Now if you had made the song 22 minutes long... 🤔 (lol kidding) And the song was beautiful as well.

[@betagamer07]

The video is not mine, I don't know who made it :/ but I'm glad that you liked the music, and maybe I do an extended version of 22 minutes jaja

[@PeopleforLove]

@@betagamer07 i might be SO out of my depth cause im just a listener but it is a bit sad that the sounds are so.....FLAT. if there were a bit more emotional, round whatever you'd call it. maybe even layer the supernova in the background very faintly early on to just come on a bit louder at the end. and the sizzling without the BOOOM. Just a thought. Love the song, love this version. mostly cause of the crackling of the fire. Some people think it dont belong. i think it is what makes it magical.

[@Palakarava]

not surprising to see a fellow outer wilds pfp on an outer wilds video, but always a welcome sight

[@Luca023_comunismo]

Kinda spoilers below, so be warned: I really don't know how I found about this game. Maybe I saw on some top 10 list of saw a video here on KZbin. But I always wanted to play Outer Wilds. I pre-ordered the game on Switch by the moment I saw that it was coming, but only played some days later, since I'd know it would be a ride, so obviously I'd like to appreciate it properly. I also already knew about the supernova, and of course I had some "situations" on my playthrough(s). My first one ended when I rushed through the ghost matter on Timber Hearth, even before getting in the museum lol. But discovering things little by little, and linking them all sure paid off. This is not a game about saving the world, neither saving the universe. It's a game about accepting our impending fate of doom. Nothing lasts forever, as if we would. People will come by and go on, but you time will come. As a Hearthian once said, "The future is always built on the past, even if we won't get to see it". If we keep pointing our lantern into the dark past, we won't be able to track the light at the end of the cave, our future.

[@betagamer07]

I have always thought that Outer Wilds is not a game, it is an experience, one that you can only enjoy once, and I think it has a different message than what you say, (which is also correct), something more like enjoying simple things. I'm glad you enjoyed the game as much as I did, and by the way, the ghost thing happened to me too xd

[@Luca023_comunismo]

@betagamer07 the game is like a blank sheet of paper. one can draw a tree, whereas the other can draw a city. both are going to enjoy their drawings, but deep down, they re both paper.

[@Chocomunchie]

@@betagamer07 It’s both a message about accepting change and the fleeting experience of life, _and_ a message about stopping to smell the pine trees along the way, as Gabbro said. To be frank, every major character in the game represented a message. Fear, curiosity, acceptance, etc.

[@tapioca8436]

Interesting. A conscious observer has entered the eye.

[@becketwild8969]

This made me feel how i felt when i beat outer wild. Thank you.

[@betagamer07]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

[@zachclayburn3020]

The moment at 2:54 with just the prisoner's melody is beutiful. Echoes of the Eye added such a bittersweet tone to the whole game, and his contributuion to this song perfectly reflects that. This is an amazing tribute to one of the most emotionally powerful pieces of media I have ever had the pleaure of enjoying, great work!

[@betagamer07]

Thanks man, I had planned to add a quieter and emptier part and it didn't seem like the prisoner's melody was the one that fit the most, thanks for the comment!

[@Chocomunchie]

“Added” a bittersweet tone? The game was already extremely bittersweet. You mean “enhanced” it. 😅

[@RDR911]

You mean the bit with the piano way too low (and WAY TOO LOUD lmao🤣) so it sounds like a child slapping the keys while their parent plays a nice song?

[@Bobywan75]

Very nice, you even brought Solanum and the Prisoner into the mix.

[@betagamer07]

of course! they fill the music a lot

[@suiginmigasuto3356]

It's not often that they are included. At least not Solanum as much. Which sucks.

[@MiniT2025]

It's just a simple melody. The main theme is just a few simple notes in a beautiful order, yet every single time I hear it, even before I started playing the game, it resonates in me. I feel that sense of fearless adventure that I thought I lost. When I saw the planet made entirely of water, and saw the angler fish, I almost put the game down because the fear I felt was petrifying. I'm literally Riebeck IRL, shaking in my boots as I explore the stars. His banjo in the original travelers got me hooked on the soundtrack, and the soundtrack is what originally made me want to buy this game in the first place. The emotions I feel when this simple, beautiful melody plays are indescribable. I've gone so long trying to make myself numb to avoid the pain and fear this world has to offer, but I ended up throwing away the adventure along with them. I know I'll never be the person I once was, but playing this game, hearing the wordless songs, it makes me hope to be someone better than who I was. I never expected this cute space game to get me so existential, but damn I love it. I almost don't even want to finish the game because I'm afraid of that empty feeling that comes at the end of a great game or movie. So here I am, just now landing on the quantum moon and eager to unlock its secrets. To any hatchling explorers who are like me, I believe in you. This universe is terrifying, and seemingly entropic by nature, but now I realize that fact only makes our shining existence that much more meaningful. It's the tears we shed that remind us that we are still here, and that there is still so much to be done. So much left to see. So many new faces to be introduced to. So many songs to listen to. And so, so, so many marshmallows to roast. I'll see you all in the stars.

[@fogos026]

I've been looking for this song for a very long time, and I found it with you. It is masterfully executed, like before the start of a new galaxy... This is already an idea, but it would be cool if at the end it flowed into a picture with the game menu! I'm not crying, it's just that the ice from the Thorn Tree melted during the supernova outbreak!

[@fogos026]

In the vast expanse of space, where stars twinkle bright, Lies the universe of Outer Wilds, a realm of cosmic light. Through the endless void, our journey takes flight, A tale of exploration, in the ever-changing night. Amidst the mysteries of the cosmos, we chart our course, Exploring distant planets, with curiosity as our force. With each discovery, our understanding grows, As we unravel the secrets that the universe bestows. Through the ancient ruins and the celestial skies, We venture forth, with wonder in our eyes. Each encounter with the unknown, a chance to learn and grow, As we navigate the currents of time's endless flow. In the heart of Outer Wilds, adventure awaits, A journey of discovery, beyond the confines of fate. With courage as our compass, and friendship as our guide, We traverse the cosmos, side by side. And as we roam the stars, in search of what may be, We find that the greatest adventure lies within you and me. For in the vast expanse of space, where mysteries unfold, It's the journey itself that fills our souls with gold.

I like how this version is a bit different from the OG. With this one we arent "there" in the midst of the circle anymore. With the slight reverb it feels as if the circle is happening with us just beyond the trees, there to witness the fire dying but unable to partake in it's ceremony or do anything about it- almost like something else thematic to this game. Though, maybe i'm just reaching.

Isn't that the original track with some hall reverb added? And he didn't even use proper limiter for this...

[@betagamer07]

The original song has 7 instruments alone, and well, this is literally an orchestra, and even if it reminds you of 14.7 Billion Years, there is a part that is totally original (where the prisoner sings alone, and I accompany him with woodwinds and a piano) . It is true that because of the many instruments (and my lack of experience), there are parts that become saturated

[@betagamer07]

The only thing I caught as is from the original song was the whistle, since I couldn't imitate it.

[@johnnyboy3390]

What are you smoking?

[@tapioca8436]

I want to put a !SPOILER! alert but what are you doing here if you haven’t played the game??? GET OUT!!! But anyway it’s gotta be some sick joke that you have to go through the anglerfish nest in Dark Bramble to get to the game’s ending, especially when you have at most 12 minutes to get in the Vessel and install the core and set the coords before the sun explodes. I ended up getting jumped by the bastard anglerfish like 3 times because I was in a hurry and underestimated the range they could hear my thrusters. Also I genuinely got stuck on the Quantum Moon puzzle for like an hour, when the solution was so easy.

[@madmanwithaplan1826]

i will support your effort on this fantastic rendition but it just makes me long for the simple effectiveness of the original. 5 comfortable instruments joined by 2 wonderful outsiders if you are so clever as to have found them. and its perfect because its against that empty silence. you version sounds great and amazing... but its too.... Full. its an orchestra and not 5 buds around a campfire at the end of everything and the beginning of everything.

[@betagamer07]

Obviously the original version is infinitely more effective, with only a few instruments it is capable of transmitting a lot, what I wanted with this orchestra was to make it more epic, a bit like "14.7 billion years"
