"We highly recommend playing through the game before listening to the soundtrack,..."
I'm sorry. I have failed you, Supergiant Games.
I'd disagree. I have listened to transistors and bastions songs before playing it. But not really paying attention to the meaning behind the lyrics. And then when playing there were those "Oooh shit, this is THIS song, this is the moment i have been waiting for (and I didn't even know what i was waiting for exactly)"
I only didnt listen to Pyre's songs because apparently 1 song literally lists out the epilogue of every character.
MakDemonik |||yeah for me the soundtracks (of transistor) not bastion introduced me to the game
The song was kinda meh to me before Games asLit showed me its meaning and how it pertains to the plot. Then I loved it.
In universe (if i remeber correctly) the songs are albums of Red from before the game starts, so it honestly fits pretty well to know them beforehand :)
You’re... not... supposed to?
As a structure created to ensure the easy transmission of electrical signals, a spine is a biological Transistor.
thank you for changing the trajectory of my life. this song takes a whole new meaning now whenever i play the game 🤯👍♥️
Damn, I already vibe hard with this song. Thanks for bringing it one step closer to home ❤️
Top tier analysis, thank you
w comment fr. i never really thought of it so closely before, huh. neat.
It's 2020 and I'm still crying over this game, its soundtrack, and its wonderful history
Edit: 2024, still crying
Let me join you :")
Aye, I could do that.
Hell yeah bro, it's such a good game ;7;
The end of the game make me cry
With you on this, replayed in lock down and it was even worse because there was nostalgia mixed in
This plays RIGHT AFTER you figure out you had lost a BEAUTIFUL singing voice :'( THE IRONY
IknowNOTHING Yup I was about to cry there !
It sometimes plays when you pause and she's it's really sad
I know right! too sad.
The whole game has a happy and sad feeling at the same time. Especially at the end.
That's what made the song incredible the timing of the music with the cutscenes and gameplay was perfection.
I don't think that's irony, but yes, it was a poignant moment
she does in fact see the spine of the world, she knows its hers, twisted and tied, damn
Red (Ashley Barret) Has a beautiful voice. I don't remember the last time I have heard vocals so full of quality.
Actually, Red was voiced by Kristin Wilson. Ashley didn't voice a character this time.
Hmmmm really. The person Singing(Ashley Barret) are recordings of Red's voice before she lost it.
isocryd I think that refers to the parts where Red hums and the 'yelling' when she uses some of the transistor's functions, like Breach()
Ashley Barret is the one who sung
***** And the thing after the thing with the spoilers. But yeah, strictly speaking, Ashley didn't voice Red. At all.
Except she did, because she sang all of Red's songs, man. Last time I checked, songs are voiced.
Lyrics:
Just skin and bones, nothing inside
Sleeping alone, fingers tie
Themselves in knots around the heart, it beats in time
I see the spine of the world, sparkle and shine light the inside
I see the spine of the world, I know it's mine, twisted and tied
You always go walking on coals
Walk away slow
Feel a fire light your way to me
My siren song for you
I see the spine of the world, sparkle and shine light the inside
I see the spine of the world, I know it's mine, twisted and tied
I see the spine, so come with me
We'll fly right over, right over
Watch it break if we get closer, much closer
I see the spine of the world, sparkle and shine light the inside
I see the spine of the world, you know it's mine, twisted and tied
nice
nice
nice
nice
Nice
Blows me away every time to think of the absolute beauty that the human voice is capable of producing. Truly remarkable.
The voice is a musical instrument just like any other ;)
And the person who composed a song such as this for an indie game
Fucking love Supergiant Games and the music they produce for their amazing games! What a studio, what a team...
the amazing thing is they are only 10 people
Aizawa C I did not expect this.
Aizawa C I honestly think the less people on a game developing team make better quality games.
***** More people = more opinion = too often they will sway from their main focus = mediocre game.
I felt like just a handful of people focusing on one goal would be the most ideal.
*****
Activision and EA don't make great games nowadays though...
Above all the things, this game is about love too, how Red and Mr.Nobody endure till the end having just one another, it's just beautifull. I love how Red hugs the transistor when she's humming, and oh god Loghan's voice acting, he's playing an object and still he excells in making it feel "alive" to us players. This game is truly one of a kind.
+Pedro Lorenzo I totally agree!!
Them feels, right?
😊😊😊😊@@princessthyemis
There are so many video game songs that give me chills due to nostalgia. I don't really remember this song from the game and I still get chills-that's how I know it's a good song.
GamerZakh it was the song she would hum when health got low... at least if i remeber right
I think this was playing on your way to fight the spine of the world.... GOD I need to play this again!!
Lol it was literally the first song with lyrics you encounter in the game (when she sees herself in the poster up until you reach the next objectives lol)
@@ferrjimenez Right? These other commenters must have alzheimers or something because this song kicks in at a very emotional moment not even 15 mins into the game.
In fact the moment you hear this song is the thing that made me play transistor, it plays right at the start of the game, you see a poster of youself, you see that you used to be the best singer in town, then sword tells you they stole your voice and this masterpiece starts playing right on time to prove you this and it's just... Even typing it give me chills, this was one of the most powerful moments i've ever experiencied on game
feels like a James Bond trippy title card song.
+TheRashy2 It has the same chord progression.
He had to have been going for that vibe when writing it and had to have told the singer to go for that sound. "The Spine of the World" would be a great title for a Bond film.
I couldn't have been the one who thinks this,
and apparently Im not the only who does, cause 333 people liked your comment. Darren Korb has got to make a song for the next bond film whenever that comes around
That's because it uses the 'line cliche', the same harmonic device famously used in Monty Norman's James Bond theme. Basically, start on any minor chord then move the fifth of the chord up chromatically twice then back down twice. In this song, the guitar riff Darren wrote does the same thing.
Yes, I totally understood that, thanks@@UkuleleAversion
The "I see The SPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE of the woooorld" always gets me
This is why supergiant games is becoming one of my favorite developers even if transitor is the 2nd game they've made. You don't get this quality of music in games and the quality of details put into both games show just how one small group can made a huge impact in the industry.
I've said this many times and I'll keep saying it: transistor will be my reason for getting a PS4.
Play the Silent Hill games, look up the soundtrack for Silent Hill 2, yes, you do get this quality of music in games.
***** I'm pretty sure he did.
When I wrote my comment, I meant in recent memory. Of course Silent Hill 2 had an incredible soundtrack and there have been many other games that have made great OSTs. That said, there haven't been that many games recently that can grab you and sucked you into the game as quick and effectively as Supergiant games has been able to when it just comes to the music.
mas8705 Agreed. :)
There have been lots of games with great soundtracks recently. But you're right, Darren Korb is definitely one of the most talented composers in the industry right now.
i don't even play this game. but god damn the tracks are hot.
All the more reason to play it
PLAY ITTT. IT IS /SOOO GOOD/.
:3
you should
It isn't as good as they say btw. Music only is that good
and some music are not good at all ...
you know what +TrigsGaming ?? don't listen to the game music and don't play the game since they are not perfect , go play half life ... ho wait no , there i no episode 3 ... +Munashige Sama will not agree
Is it bad that I've become addicted to this song? This is one of the most beautiful tracks I've ever heard. I swear I've had it on loop for the past day or so, and it still sounds as absolutely stunning as the first time I heard it. It captures the game's atmosphere so perfectly and even gives off a bit of a "Skyfall" vibe (albeit personally I find this song better than Skyfall.) I can't help humming along to it, and occasionally sing along with it, which isn't something I normally do.
and Ashley's voice man its too beautiful , i wanna hear more of her music
I'm sure we will when Pyre is released :)
I wonder if the process analyse the superuser and try to "please" the Superuser based on reactions the Superuser make, and have had made against them. Royce for example, he did the maths, and found the Process and they became why Cloudbank kept changing, but in the way his maths predicted. It also began mimicking human quirks because humans trust humans, and it also used hard lines and shapes, as they're like mathematics: hard, as well as behaving in predictable, mathematical ways, as that's how he found them, but Royce wants art too, so the Transistor becomes his paintbrush.
On the other hand, the process would have interpreted Red's songs, as they partly absorbed that part of her Trace, so they made the Spine, they heard the controversial "We all become one", and decided to enact that, oblivious to the fact that Red doesn't want that. the Transistor thus, became more of a weapon, designed to destroy Process (or impel them to go away), as opposed to Royce's ideals of using the process to create. Only when we interact with Royce, seeking a way to get to Fairview, then does the vague concept of creation occur to the process, and they build the bridge. which is genius, because it justifies Cloudbank itself: the process needs data, so the polling stations are set up, because information is a two-way street: the more data you give the process or an A.I., the better it can help you, and what better way to feed the data to the process than through a direct democratic system? Everyone gets a voice, which is why when you choose to change the weather, it's so significant, because the data is you, the only human left in the place, and your choice is a unanimous vote.
damn
the stark contrast between the response to your votes at the beginning and at the end is an underrated and powerful story device
starting out, the terminals either just eat your vote with no feedback or pertain to something the player can't see ingame, like the sky
as the population decreases your votes just snap into existence without the need for "moderation"
@@Yenrei It also helps that you by that point you have keyed the Transistor back into Cloudbank itself effectively giving you Admin powers.
I'd never heard of this game or song until Spotify introduced me to the song. It's haunting and absolutely beautiful. Ashley's voice is incredible.
The Transistor and Bastion OSTs are the only game soundtracks that I actually listen to independently of the game.
Darren Korb, just write a bunch of songs. I don't care what they're about, they could be about animal crossing for all i care, I just want more of that music.
illdiewithoutpi I want him and Ashley Barret to keep working together.
Darren Korb is really awesome.
If you want another good game soundtrack to listen to, though, try Braid. Just a few songs, and they're all great. Downstream is especially good.
If you like this you might also want to check out the music for the Silent Hill games. It's pretty good.
try Nier....
it's up there if not even higher...
I dunno why but I just fell in love with Transistor's instruments, I love the blown out peaked sound and distorted like trying to play something out of a tiny speaker. It's so great and adds so much character.
I think it's called lo-fi. Could be wrong.
This is such an amazing song that gives me shivers. I love it.
Also would you kindly bring Transistor to PS Vita C:
wielkus I wish!
wielkus I don't think that Bioshock thing works on Supergiant, but you can always hope.
Would you say it sends shivers...down your spine?
This plays before you actually meet the spine boss fight. This foreshadowing...
Thinking about it, that Process was named after the song.
I hated that fight
@@tomjack1000000 yeah that WAS a b*tchy fight
They should make a CGI movie, OVA, anime, animated movie, live action movie, or anything like that for this game. With music like this, it would go a long way.
I think live action could work pretty well with it, if done right...
I'd lean more towards animated personally. Their art style would look pretty cool.
Animated movie/series is more like it. Much easier.
I don't know that "inferior medium" would be a proper descriptor, but the way a game's story is paced is drastically different from films/shows. This is why a lot of films and shows based on games don't often pan out.
Connor Shaw OOHH heck YEAH that would look INCREDIBLE!!! I change my mind. :D :D :D
Everyone should fucking listen to this song while watching a James Bond movie intro credits. This song fits a James Bond movie perfectly.
right
right
same chord progression.
6 years later this track has a special place in my memories.
is it weird to listen to this over and over?
Not even a little bit.
Or maybe we're both weird.
i guess i'm weird too! I hum this to myself all the time!!
not in my birthday
Given the theme of repetition in this game it's extremely appropriate
Antiform not at all dude :)
When I played Bastion I fell in love with the Soundtrack and this is especially true for "Build that wall" and "Mother I'm here" (And obviously the last track "Setting Sail/ Coming Home) Because the Vocalists captured the mood so well and sung beautifully and I was hoping that Transistor would follow suit and it did and I love it.
When I first heard this song, I immediately thought of the Skyfall song. This sounds so James Bondy...
+International Space Station Skyfall sucks, that song is glorious
Eryk Jakiel Never seen it. I just have heard the song lol
But i'm talking about song :D
Haha xD Well my original comment was posted before I played the game. Now I've played it hehe
The Verse actually uses chord changes (m5 - m#5 -m6 - m#5, but you don't have to remember that lol) that were famously used in the James Bond theme. So not only does it remind you of the James Bond theme, in a way, it IS the James Bond theme (during the verse, and with a different melody) :P
I love this song so much. Even hearing if makes me want to open the game back up.
ikr I can't believe how amazing the game was
A year and change after this game came out, I am *still* listening to the damned soundtrack. Darren Korb and Ashely Barrett are a bloody amazing pair.
Does anybody have any recomendations for similar artists? I love the sort of moody feel, and the blending of more traditional instruments with very electronic undertones. It's fantastic. I want more.
+Bob Dobsin This song specifically reminds me a lot of Portishead, which I assume was a big influence to Darren's trip hop and Ashley's vocals.
manhaes
Thanks! After listening to some of their music, I can definitely see some of the influence.
+Bob Dobsin Try "Teardrop" by Massive Attack. Same basic genre - trip hop - so you'll notice the similarities.
Thanks! This is some fantastic stuff!
+Bob Dobsin try trip hop bands like portishead, massive attack and sneaker pimps. lana del rey is kinda similar too
I played this song in my classroom. My 4th graders loved it!
Spencer Marley Aww thats amazing wish I had a teacher like you back in the day
Found this song by accident.
It reminded me about that gorgeous Hitman blood money secret ending song so much, so here i am listening to this track while downloading the game.
Holy shit I played this song after 3 years, and it unironically gave me chills running down MY spine.
same bro
Best Game soundtrack I have heard in a long while.
This one would make a great James Bond song too.
I just recently come across transitor and i have to say,i haven't came across one bad song from this game. I'm very impressed and will likely get this game. thank you for uploading the soundtrack.
The moment in he game with the poster is where I got hooked. Not sure why but it gives me a strong feeling of some kind. I don't know how to describe it, somber, maybe. The dialogue and the song in the background it all fit's in so well.
Massive form of whiten beast,
Who store and build by ravenous feast.
Its eerie eyes of might that bide,
All devolve and twisted inside.
Alone to face the sword and girl,
Against the Spine of the world.
Be merry and weather, its just the start,
By a promise to take its beastly heart.
So I'm guessing all these poems people are posting in the Transistor OST vids are written just for transistor? That's pro. :D
illdiewithoutpi
Indeed but it is difficult to make them effective. Like Journey, this too also needs some work
Devin Volker
Thanks. And considering to the question, no not really. World and girl rhyme perfectly because of how it pronounce.
Sword nearly rhymes but when you say, it doesn't 't match at all. It brings an amount of stress.
Beautiful and fitting. I demand moar.
U
Ok supergiant, you convinced me. I'm gonna play your game now.
I got this game last night and fell in love with it. It is hands down the best game I've ever played.
She's not the singing voice we deserve, but the one we need right now
Why don’t we deserve to hear her?
Anyone still listening in 2018? It still gets stuck in my head- remarkable soundtrack indeed.
yes im still listening
yup.
I love how the game turned from a 3D to a 2D view once you go inside the spine
listening to this song gives me the silent hill and james bond feel.
Holy heck! It does sound like something in Silent Hill!!
Yay, reminds me JB, too.
Yep, I can only imagine what Darren Korb and Ashley Barrett would be capable of producing collaborating with Akira Yamaoka. The prospect gives me chills.
thant0s
So are they actually "apprentices" of Akira Yamaoka? If so, then that is actually awesome.
*****
Doubtful that they're directly associated with one another; at a stretch, Darren may have been a bit influenced by the man, but there's no media linking them on a professional level, much less Ashley. Just saying it would be rather interesting to see them cross paths on a project and work on it together.
i have never ever ever ever ever seen a song or video on youtube that has almost all the duration as Most Replayed in the timeline. Thats how you know youre listening to a banger
Sounds like it could be used in the intro to a James Bond movie. Especially the chorus.
After digesting the atmosphere of bastion these 3 last years, Can't wait to start this one here :')
Soooo good. My favourite vocal song from the OST.
This song played in my head on loop Playing Gravity Rush 1 while falling down that giant "World Spine Tree" level. It was a wonderful moment and I had to play this song during that moment
got this game on epic for free, that was 2 years ago yet i still keep coming back to these osts, truly a master of the craft with these
Another 2 years and this is still one of my favorite games I just so happened to stumble upon
I can't decide which is better, In Circles or this.
Been trying to decide the same thing for myself.
I personally think Spine is the better of the two. But the soundtrack is stunning. I haven't actually played the game yet and I'm hooked on the OST. xD
GoatJesus
Yeah well, she is quite literal in the lyrics as far as her description of said Spine.
Why decide which is better? they're both awesome in their unique way.
_n c_rcl_s is your answer
Totally getting a James Bond vibe off this
Menuki It's mostly the resemblance to Tomorrow Never Dies, no?
Menuki.Yeah a cool sexy yet clandestine feel to it.
This is the best game i've played in years. And i really mean years, like, at least 5 years.
It's so full of love and detail literally EVERYWHERE.
I don't like how I can only like and favorite this once. I need to like/favorite it at least ten million times.
Man this game, the songs, gets the feelings and throw then in your face and bring the tears together
You deserve all that you win, and i am waiting for a new game of yours
Respect from Brazil
oh boy, this song is superb!
A song that touches the soul
I like how there are just so many positive comments and barely any negative ones. This song and game really has something special in it. :)
Dec 2019 and I always come back to this song a few times a year.
I dont know why, but when the instrumental plays in the background, i like to use Turn() just to hear the music slightly muffled and with vocals. it feels "magical" of sorts
I always stand on top of the tree in the backdoor room, watching the sun listening to this song or Circles.
This song always gets me in the mood
Is it coincidence that the space between the Transistor and Red's body is shaped like a play button?
Holy shit, never noticed that and I own the physical album. That's brilliant if intentional.
It’s 2021 and it’s more than 3 years since I said this is beautiful. and I still think it’s beautiful.
Man this music is the best on transistor,it's impossible to dislike this,thank you supergiant games
ty mortdog for playing this on ur stream
tft stream
damn What Is It With Supergiant Games And Good Music :)
They have Darren Korb. He is a genius (as I'm sure you can tell)
Darren Korb.
This song gives me such a shudder down my spine, and I can’t describe the emotion I feel from it.
Just realized that that lady that voiced Zia in Bastion played Red...just beautiful on so many levels.
Played it on PC when launched, loved it, made 100% and was still wanting more. Now with the PS4, nearly 1 year later, got the game again and beat it to the platinum, and i still loved it, Transistor is fucking awesome.
There is something of Akira Yamaoka in this musics. And that's a huge compliment.
omfg, I would literally just stop playing for long periodd of time just to hang out on those little paradise island...things and listen to the freaking soundtrack.
A+ game, for sure, but holy shit the music?! The music: A++++++++.
Some one that I really love and adore, and prolly even have a crush on, just linked me this song. What a great night... this music feels so good.
Still here... always here.
I still listen to this. It's so beautiful.
such a haunting song. thank you ashley barrett and darren korb.
Reds songs are so powerful and keep you hooked.You can't help it as there push and pull in all dircetions.Espiccaly this one for me because I find myself singing it out of the blue...
This reminds me of Silent Hill specially in the beginning
Funny enough, the guitar rift in the chorus is used in a Silent Hill song.
I remember first hearing this 5 years ago Fuck time flies
This song really sums up my experience with Transistor. Beautiful and mellow.
1 million views! If any game OST deserves it, its this one
every Transistor songs are perfection. no joke
This song should be in the next James Bond movie intro theme.
this is far one of my favorites, i literally fell inlove first time i heard it
This one got to be my favorite
I used to go watch the demo all the time just to listen to this one song even with all the in-game sounds. But this released track is just....soothing
I'm pretty sure this is the 30th time I've listened to this since I beat the game for the first time earlier this week. Cannot get these songs out of my head.
The guitar backing in the song gives it that myterious james bond feel. I like it
Never heard of the game until a friend showed me this song, and now, i wish i played this beutiful piece
Finished the game tonight, man what a work of art! Magnifico....
If I didn't know better I would say this came from a pop artist and would expect to hear it on the radio!
Sounds like Portishead so i fucking love it.
This has to be the song I love most of this whole soundtrack. It's just so good!
After so many years, still strong love and very warm feelings. ❤
Ashley Barrett is voice goals
I think this is my favourite. Love how Breach() names the Spine after one of Red's songs.
Beautiful Vocals, just love the way this music sounds. I really hope this "Old-world Electronic Post-rock" (as Darren Korb calls it) becomes a really amazing genre with lots more music, its absolutely beautiful to listen to.
My favorite song in a game with such an amazing soundtrack.
Took me so long to beat the game because i couldnt stop listening to the tracks, especially this one and circles.
Truly great vocals, I'm loving this soundtrack.
Sounds like something Akira Yamaoka would compose. One of my favorite OSTs.
This would fit SO WELL in Cowboy Bebop
Now that you mention it, I can definitely hear Mai Yamane belting this one out
