Video Game Music: Snow

[@ghostchill]

pixel art by my older brother ko-fi.com/stonecoat head over to my main channel to watch a 30 min video on snow as a theme and substance in the medium of video games kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6u8pmerq9eJl8U

[@jakeadam8863]

I have an older brother too. He's made pixel art for me before. We both grew up playing games together. Thick as thieves then, and even still. Now we're adults facing the chaos of life, holding onto our faith and treasuring the rare moments we get to see each other. World's a much better place with a good brother in it.

[@joelkurowski7129]

These are great! Are you planning one for Desert themes?

[@WerewolfCaptain]

There it is. That is what has been missing.

[@AlexanderMason-g7s]

Opening on Fable 2 like you're trying to kill me with the nostalgic heartache

[@norathecatwitch3601]

Fable is amazing.

[@nightmarishcompositions4536]

Winter levels were always my favorite in video games. They can be cozy, beautiful and full of wonder, and they can be dark, dramatic and full of intense fear or sadness as well.

[@dontfearthereaper8675]

When the first track started.....fable the nostalgia...i damn near had a religious experience

[@jacklucy8745]

Good Lord.... Sometimes you don't realize how impactful a game was on you until you hear a song from it and feel totally transported. (Ragnarok

[@soundwavesuperior7522]

Undertale

[@D_Pellagrino]

My dude came out swinging with Fable. Proud

[@sardinee4564]

Buried in the snow is a track I always think of when i think of snow and winter in video games.

[@chill-lady-brook]

Omg you included one from Myth. You are so incredibly based it’s unreal.

[@iunderstoodthatreference3347]

The inclusion of Valak Mountain - Night is everything to me. It is THE snow theme.

[@lavenderfields22]

New Ghostchill drop AND it starts with a Fable 2 song?!?! LFGOOOO

[@henryintroini4406]

Hey, I just want to say you published your water video when I began my journey of nursing school, now all this time later I am still listening for studying. Thank you for getting me through nursing school so far!

[@Quellenforschung]

This is about to be the best snow sesh. Alone at a park while it's snowing

[@Kazuma11290]

Gotta love the Fable respect. My man!

[@AngelofGrace96]

This is ironic, but also very nice, because I got badly sunburned yesterday (southern hemisphere) and now I'm lying in bed in pain. So thank you ❤️

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

Apply Ghostchill & feel better! Hope the healing is swift.

[@mikecharek7449]

I've run through the "Water" playlist probably near a hundred times. This is quite a treat to see pop up.

[@Ekkolocationzz]

Streets of whiterun hitting this vibe like crazy.

[@iunderstoodthatreference3347]

ngl had to listen to that section twice

[@Ekkolocationzz]

@ it’s so good isn’t it, shit mellows me out every time

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

Thank you Brother of Ghost for the visuals to go with the Ghostchill.

[@walnutking92]

Every six months, Ghostchill drops an absolute banger of a mix. I love it.

[@TheWtfanime]

Ghost, thank you and your brother for this amazing art. Tundra- Skyrim Snowpeak- Twilight Princess In a Snowbound Land- DKC2 Seashore War- DKCTF Sherbet Land- Mario Kart 8 Snowbelle City- Pokemon X and Y Snowpoint City- Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Those are just some of my favorites.

[@SeasideVagrant]

Grateful for a snowy/wintery playlist that isn't just the same recycled Nintendo tracks

[@Zeitgeist-xl7pg]

Wake up babe, new peak music mix just dropped

[@justpaul3451]

There is no babe. You're not fooling anyone. Now, take your a** back to bed.

[@supme7558]

Incel

[@shirefox9927]

This has to be the best video game music mix of all time

[@ameyavarma8568]

Thanks Ghost & Ghost's brother! I got this on a speaker in my room for Niners Bills, its just all so beautiful:)

[@greyspiker_eru3638]

Christmas music is traumatizing for me lol, but I want to get in the holiday spirit. This mix is perfect for this! A lot of winter video game playlists don't flow smoothly between tracks, so I really appreciate the craftsmanship in stitching this together!

[@iunderstoodthatreference3347]

retail ain't no joke

[@ToddJambon]

Flamesgrace ~ Octopath Traveler has no business sounding that good.

[@lukaarsovski2995]

The perfect soundscape to be writing somber and darker lore about a setting

[@JukeboxHistory]

Starting with the menu theme from Fable 2?? You are a master of your craft

[@crease8086]

Amazing playlist and perfect pixel art to go with it. Suits the winter vibe right now with where I am from

[@stargazersmusic1505]

This is IT. Your water music compilation was my most watched video this year. I can't wait to repeat this through the winter!

[@468erpeashooter9]

Awesome. This is a great collection dedicated to the art of representing harsh winters in the medium of sound. For those interested, Fortnite: STW has a few great soundtracks, similar to these in a way. Look up the "frostnite" soundtrack. Those, however, are more joly and christmased theme. Whereas these seem to be more geared towards lonely and harsh, like a russian winter, Fortnite's are more like a nice winter cabin stay where you hang out with your family and have fun. Like a subgenre even withhin the theme of snow itself.

[@TrevinoZen14]

Ghostchill, you make some of the best content on here. From your character and world analyses to these incredible music mixes, you are the King Midas of video game content. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your craft. It shows!

[@ToStrideForFame]

Thank you for introducing us to many new and for others nostalgic sounds of snow! I've never heard of Flamesgrace from Octopath Traveler but it's become my favorite, cozy snow/holiday spirit song.

[@urban_rural1256]

The Long Dark music is perfect

[@SqarletGecko]

Oh stars, the _wave_ of nostalgia I got the moment I heard Dun Morogh... I didn't even realize why I knew it at first, it just sounded so achingly _familiar_ .

[@orangeyagladd]

you killed me by starting with fable i never hear fable songs on these compilations and that music is the most nostalgic for me

[@iananderson8721]

wtf I had no idea you had a lo-fi channel too this is so epic

[@paulbuchanan7781]

I always forget how gorgeous The Streets of Whiterun is.

[@Ekkolocationzz]

such an amazing, atmospheric song. great add to this list

[@norathecatwitch3601]

Babe wake up! Ghost Chill added a new playlist!

[@grubbinvgm]

The transitions in this are insanely smooth. Frantic Fountains -> Ambush at the Devil's Overlook -> Tundra were LITERALLY seamless, amazing work!

[@Gibzoni1]

that opining fable 2 hit hard.... funny to think that a videogame can impact you so much

[@scarffle2]

This is such thoughtful and wonderful compilation of songs!! Fable II's menu theme is so... god it's so good. Gives me a lot of feels. Would you ever consider doing a companion mix/vid on what makes songs feel 'autumnal'?

[@sarahs8371]

I love snow in media and video games

[@FeedTheTrees]

Another Banger. Will we be getting a tropical/jungle/beach playlist in the summer ?

[@kingjack92]

Goated channel, the king of YT music.

[@Hexer1358]

Thank you for the fine addition to my sleep playlist

[@CommonCurtisy13]

45 minutes in and I keep hearing hit after hit after hit. This deserves millions of views, and I'll likely be half of those. Bravo

[@lionsmanestudios556]

This is such a phenomenal mix! I've been listening to it on repeat all day. If I could recommend one more song for this mix: Limestone Cave (Icecap) from Sonic Adventure DX. Fits the mix perfectly.

[@fightingcatman]

You're back!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@Thatdolphinguy]

These videos create peak background for art. Thanks Ghostchill

[@TheRealJackArthur]

Oh my gosh. Dude. This is fantastic.

[@Eric-jy4qm]

love the pixel art so much, and i checked out the rest of your brother's art and i love it too!

[@Tuffkid42]

What an awesome mix of different games. Great stuff!

[@wigleymusic]

You had me at FFX

[@parallax_rat]

As soon as it hit Dun Morogh the nostalgia flooded in.

[@levferno483]

The perfect music for the season. I needed this.

[@raccoonia]

Such a great playlist. All the classics ❄ Only missed a few. PS: Wonderful calming animation, chapeau :3

[@zoinksscoob5077]

I love winter so much, adding this one to my playlist for sure

[@ghost.me.rika2306]

I listen way more to those playlists than to anything else, like.. I know them by heart. And this is my favorite now. Thx.

[@launchpadmcquack24]

LET'S GOOOOOO NEW SLEEP MIX LOCATED

[@Deepinmore]

I love video game ambients, even made by myself a video game winter ambient mix too. So when I saw this video immideatly clicked on it. This is fantastic work, thank you ❄

[@Miningfang]

I was actually looking for something like this today to play at work. the man provides everything

[@aaverageweeb5660]

Instead of the usual Christmas vibes this is true cold winter

[@ShagShaggio]

Awesome! This will probably be my sleep soundtrack for the next month or two at least lol Cheers!

[@Mithranqueer]

great mix, so many unappreciated songs in here!

[@VerdugoVibes]

Incredible mix, massive thank-you to you and your brother for creating something incredible.

[@gluttonousmimic3041]

A perfect upload for the holidays! All the nostalgic snow/winter themed music from games past. Thanks for the early Christmas present, and happy holidays to you!👍

[@cymikgaming1266]

I was full on expecting to hear "THE CITY MUST SURVIVE" when i heard the word snow

[@constanshaviland1271]

I’m going to listen to this on the chairlifts and ski down listening to creed lol

[@sarahs8371]

Just in time for final exams so thanks!!

[@dylan8605]

Another great mix would be forests or deserts! A lot of great games to pull from- Zelda, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, The Witcher, Oblivion, etc!

[@PapaBradford]

I threw Ghost's brother a few bucks on Ko-fi, pixel art is hard

[@stonecoat_art]

big thanks. keepin the dream alive

[@miraclezz...]

[@r.r.r.r.r.r.r.]

Comfy as fuck. Thanks Ghost.

[@myinfo9406]

YIPPEEEE

[@FB35959]

48:40 i found my wedding song 😊

[@admiral8bit7]

The esthetics and vibes of snowy environments in media, (video games especially), is such an odd but fascinating thing. Artists can of course do whatever they want with any location vibe wise but I don't think any environment has as many emotional usages as snow. It really can basically mean anything, yet also no other environment can copy its fundamental energy and I just find that interesting.
