I discovered this game about 4 years ago. I was 67. I'd never played a video game in my life. It is now my sanctuary. And the musical score is medicine for the soul.
Nice! 🙂🌈🙏
Welcome to the gamers world, a new chapter awaits u
Awesome!
⚔️
:D Awesome
One doesn't stop playing Skyrim. One merely pauses.
Fact. I'm currently playing it after 11 years. And I will in the future too probably and with Starfield too
facts. I've played skyrim on two different consoles with three different copies of the game over the course of ~5 years(I'm seventeen) and I will probably keep playing it indefinitely
@@littlefiremountainrenter tried playing it again, the bugs of the game both skyrim and skyrim se doesnt allow me to reach Helgen xD.... so iam good with only the music i guess.
@@leroyjenkins2757oh trust me, the bugs are part of the beauty, it is still a game
Wait until elder Scrolls 6 comes out 😊, PS5 , PS6 remastered and PS7 gold edition of it lol
This isn’t just a video game or a soundtrack anymore, it’s a part of my soul
You have no soul.NPC! HAHAHAAA!!!

Dragon soul absorbed
Sooo true. I was there when ff7 launched on ps1, played the hell out of Halo, red dead two was an insane experience. But man. Skyrim is home. Wandering the tundra, soundtrack kicks in. Goosebumps. Amazing game.
Jeremy Soule does not get enough credit for this amazing score.
Take heart that this only seems so. Actually Soule won several awards for his work with Skyrim, both in terms of computer game soundtrack, but also as general pieces of modern classical music.
Yeah, he was a good composer, I wonder who’s gonna replace him TES 6
Skyrim is not the "Do Vah Kin entrance song", the true soul of elder scrolls lies in the song "Ancient Stones"
@@rispruffcuts2306 I prefer Wing Guide You.
It's not coincidence that he is not mentioned anywhere in this video or its description. That doesn't take away from the value of his music, but people don't talk about him nowadays for a reason.
Thank you for this, Elder Scrolls music is something unparalleled when playing the game but hearing the London Orchestra playing this just hits on a whole other level.
This will be on loop in my house for the next few months
Eagerly waiting for Skyblivion!
@@NamelessSekiro Agreed, can't wait to walk through the Oblivion gates once again.
unparalleled? well I can think of a few...
@@kosterix123 Like what?
@@moonzestate mass effect, the witcher, gears of war, halo, final fantasy 7, pokemon, the legend of zelda just to name a few...
The Dragonborn music hits places no other song does. Whether it’s nostalgia, the fantastic composing, or just the plain power of the piece, it’s a wonderful piece of gaming history.
I must disagree, Secunda (which sadly wasn't played) hits more.
When I hear it, anytime, anywhere, I almost start to cry. I still remember the moment when I first - at night - came out outside from the Dragon Hall (sorry if the name is wrong, I played different language version) in Whiterun and Secunda was playing and the green aurora was shining on the sky. THAT was the defining Skyrim moment for me. Until then, it was just one from the list of the great RPGs and sequel to Oblivion. But this moment changed it to something more.
@@dasik84 Well said my friend. I felt the same.
Far Horizons got my cry this time.
But Streets Of Whiterun would have, if it wasn’t talked over…
It's unfortunate in this version the choir wasn't louder. At the start the brass kinda overpowers the voices which takes away from the live performance a bit
"The Streets of Whiterun" is a damn Masterpiece....
masterpiece indeed.
It really is, makes me cry.
@@KathrynB621 ...They All Kinda Do.
@@LuStrangerIV Yes, From Past to Present is my all time favorite.
The gospel of Skyrim
You can't tell someone who hasn't played it what Skyrim means. You can't describe it. Skyrim is an experience, not just a game. And if you're one of those who hasn't played it - play it. Experience it. Trust me, you'll never regret it.
It’s my all time favorite game.
A very overrated experience.
@@R3SerialDreamsClearly, you didn’t get it. Move on then.
I have Skyrim for the Switch and have been playing and replaying for several years now. On October 22, 2024 I will be 58 years old. Music has it's own way of setting the tone and background to any story line and in Skyrim it is no different.
The music that what make skyrim so special and yes the setting too like mountain and the story but yes music what makes u feel alive like when I first entered whiterun the music of whiterun is just ❤
I couldn't understand English when I first started playing in 2011, but I created my character anyways. Aragon the ginger (tried to write Aragorn but I didn't know how to pronounce his name too), Nord, sword and shield.
I played on my father's laptop, and for fear of breaking the right mouse button, I adopted a stronger weapon that I thought would carry me without blocking through the game, a warhammer.. I also didn't know we have to press and hold left mouse button to fully charge an arrow to fire it properly.
Saw in some random walkthrough a guy speaking these words: "infinite gold" and "Mount Anthor". Then I went to Mount Anthor to find the gold, found one of my firsts memorable dragon battles, I couldn't fire arrows properly, so we fought through the whole Sunday night. Sleepless, some hours to an exam, and didn't found the gold. But I had such a glow of excitement in my eyes that since that day, all my school friends knew about this amazing experience that is Skyrim.
With the passing of the months, this game quickly became my favorite English teacher. Making me genuinely interested in the language, so I could understand the dialogs, books, and quests. Year after year, more and more I could understand this language. So many positive things happened in my life because of it, that is difficult to express in words the appreciation I feel for that. Thank you, Skyrim : )
And for those who stopped by to hear this stranger's confession: Wind Guide You : )
We're all brothers and sisters in this comment section friend. Thank you for sharing your story, excellent writing too might I add.
What a great story man. This game means so much to so many. I can also remember that launch date like it was yesterday. That first day in the open field, with mountains around was just overwhelming, and dare I say, emotional.
🤍❤️💚
I remember that time when I first played this game i was stuck at bleak falls barrow's code door.. I stood there trying to figure out how to open the door for 2 days...then I saw the pattern on key...then I remember is that I was shouting in my room and throwing my schoolbag through the window and getting my ass whooped by my mom.....ah the glorious days
Your writing and storytelling is excellent!
11:03 Far Horizons... the most beautiful music in the history of video games. I'm not kidding. Anyone who played this game in 2011 and listened to this track while discovering how "big" and "open world" Skyrim was knows that this song is not only beautiful, but effective. When I found out the name of the song was "Far Horizons" I thought "holy shit, this is so right!"
Absolutely. It's by far my favorite track, I still get goosebumps every time it starts playing.
It is impossible for me to not tear up when I hear Horizons.
This is one of the songs in my playlist in my funeral
It's one of my favourites. Distant Horizons as well. The City Gate is too but sadly wasn't here
It's definitely one of them. If you like that, I recommend "Call of the Raven" from Guild Wars 2: czcams.com/video/Trt57TXxXGs/video.html
The Streets of Whiterun is absolutely incredible.
It's my first time hearing it with a "live" orchestra. I'm a grown man getting goosebumps and tearing up. I would love to hear this live in person one day.
yeah its my fav
Skyrim is a game that I wish I could forget, just to play it again for the first time. :(
Nothing gives you goosebumps quite like your first ever Skyrim play-through. I’ll never forget that. If I live to see Elder Scrolls 6 I’ll be one happy gamer.
@@elizabethlally2557 lol that would be starfield

Does anyone else come back to this just to bask in how incredible of a job they did?
I can't stop listening to the soundtracks Jeremy Soule made for all these games, they're just incredible! The London Symphony Orchestra did a fantastic job at recreating these songs as well.
It's my go to when I do home chores
I regularly listen to these soundtracks while I work. Helps me to concentrate. Amazing music!
Im here & still playing this game till this moment. Happy new year 2023!
i love this soundtrack concert, i really listen often. Skyrim is the best that can exist :D
I’ve played this game for so many hours that every note of this music is permanently etched into my soul.
Same here brother.. same here ✊🏾
props to Jeremy Soule for making such a great sound track that fits the game so well.
When I played this game, I was the player. Now when I heard this music, I feel it like I was the character. It's inside. Kind of transcendant emotion.
Mine too.
Skyrim may not have the best game mechanics. It may not have the biggest map, the best storytelling, the best quest design or the best graphics. But Skyrim, unlike any other video game world I've ever experienced, always felt like a real place to me, with it's very own heart and soul. I've never felt such a deep connection to a game ever again and it will always be a part of me. Listening to Far Horizons, The Streets of Whiterun or From Past to Present always makes me emotional. It feels like home to me.
The immersion for most of the game is absolutely insane. Every veteran Skyrim player should try never using fast travel no matter how many times they've traversed this land.
@@apolloisnotashirt I'm currently doing a no fast travel run with a slightly modded survival mode, and even as a veteran player, I've discovered so many new and cool things and places I've never seen before. Survival mode can sometimes be a little annoying, but it forces you to plan your trip, stay in taverns for the night, buy/steal/hunt/cook food etc., which makes the game even more immersive. I absolutely love it.
@@dayjay2667 I tried survival once but the moment it made my carry weight into half I immediately turned it off.
Oblivion and Morrowind are better imo
Well Said! you wrote what I feel about Skyrim!
Skyrim is a world full of monsters to fight, people with stories to tell, and adventures to be conqured. But the music is what makes it feel like home.
Love this
Im enjoying anniversary content on my special edition but please Bethesda no more skyrim lets move on with elder scrolls 6
Tamriel* Yes, Elder Scrolls is not just Skyrim.
@@kirorankezarparoja2670 whatever dude, I like Skyrim more than Oblivion or ESO. Only Skyrim is special to me, if you feel differently you don't have to condescend.
Home for a Dragonborn...
That "Streets of Whiterun" rendition is the most serene thing ive heard in a while. Thankyou for 10 years of memories
Why did youtube still not verify u?

It's my favourite composition from Skyrim. I'm glad they included it in the concert.
32:52
I don’t know how they can sing that without breaking down into tears.
It’s just so beautiful
Me neither but it's in Dovahzul (Dragon Voice) language
Probably at rehearsal they emptied their tear tanks all the time so that on at recording session they were none left
theyre too focused on performing
Bro I know man holy shit. This music's so godamn beautiful. Like, this makes me nostalgic for a time that never happened, you know what I mean? Like if my life were a show, this would be the credit track for the best episode of my life.
streets of whiterun is a burner.

Thanks for the timestamps ❤
Thanks !
Ty!
You are an angel!
Anyone else get goosebumps and maybe a little tear in their eye for seeing and hearing the beauty of this music and having it bring back all the memories over the years?
bro, I wept
Same here. Sounds dramatic but its true. Back when I was playing skyrim in 2011, everything was so simple. Good old days. Get back from school. Do your homework and then get deeply engrossed into the world of skyrim. Played this game on my Amd phenom x2 550 be paired with nvidia en 9400gt at 720p low/medium settings 🤗🤗🤗
I literally cried with feels and yes, lots of goosebumps also :)
Dragonborn hits hard.
lots of tears bro..
This is a beautiful tribute to a game that has shaped many of my viewers lives and my own. Thank you Bethesda.
eargasm from listening
I don’t think it’s a tribute, it’s put on by Bethesda themselves.
thanks for umm uh helpin me with skyrim exploits loll
Waiting for Fallout 76's anniversary concert.
@@deineMudda952 it's already out!! czcams.com/video/Hqg4k2g9NFU/video.html
36:40 Kyne's peace is so magical. Hearing it in the game I actually felt like I was there. I didn't move an inch and just kept looking at the beautiful night sky of Skyrim to have a moment where I don't run around doing quests and just sink in the beauty of this game. This game is a work of art
yes same for me bro!!! the first time i saw night in skyrim and i heard Secunda (Night music) I was blown away ahhhh good times
The very first time I heard Kyne's Peace, I had just gotten back to the Companions to give Kodlak the hagraven head to be cleansed. That struck me deeply. I'll forever think of that moment when I hear that song.
Work of art indeed, and it is sad that more don't see video/computer games as a work of art, combining music, visuals, story along with gameplay. I wonder what great artists and composers of the past could have done if they had this technology at their disposal.
The exact same for me. I still play Skyrim now, the vanilla version. I have no PC for mods, but no mods are needed. I fall in love with this game every time.
Far Horizons will always be remembered as one of the best pieces ever written for a video game.
This is actually amazing. Thank you!
Finally, one of the rare things that you join and approve. Compared to the tons of your vids where we should not join this, or this, or this in skyrim. Be serious bro.
@@dartharyeshzilla7909 I think Avarti in some degree actually loves the game (correct me if I am wrong). Since approximately 3/4 of his videos are about The Elder Scrolls and 50% of it is about Skyrim. He wouldn't spent thousands of hours making videos about it, if it wouldn't be big part of his life. Often the biggest fans are the highest critics. I can feel that nowadays, the TES fans are bit frustrated about it that Bethesda hasn't been able to in 10 years publish any new main TES title other than different kind of special/anniversary editions while at the same time other game publishers have managed to publish games like Witcher lll, Dark Souls/Bloodborn etc. That being said. Everyone acknowledges what kind of impact Skyrim have had to the whole RPG genre. E.g. Kingdom Come: Deliverance probably wouldn't exist if Skyrim would not exist first.
I personally think that even nowadays the Skyrim can still out shine some of the most modern RPGs in certain areas (Heck... Even the Morrowind can). Specially when it comes to this mystical experience. Traveling in the woods or up at the mountains. The world, backstory and mythology of TES is is excellent (took many decades to build) and Skyrim managed to utilize and improve it very well. Avarti have some good points when it comes to some characters (Delphine...). Lets just hope that the TES VI will fix these issues.
Hi my friend! Yes this is fantastic.
@@GeneralMiller92FIN dude you aren't wrong. There isn't any other type of game like this, it any of the Elder Scrolls really. The feel, the atmosphere, the deep deep lore, the charm, the janky but workable mechanics... Been a fan since Morrowind on my old ass Xbox and Skyrim, though "dumbed down", is my all time favorite game and has never left that number one spot. I even got my mother and 10yr old daughter heavily (and I am not exaggerating lol) into gaming via Skyrim. This Christmas I'm actually getting my daughter her own Switch with Skyrim and a few other games but had to make sure Skyrim was one of them cause she's put over 300 hrs into it on our shared Switch.
I know we have at least Outer Worlds from Bioware which is pretty good and definitely inspired by Bethesda's games, but it missed so many marks of furthering such complexity and world building that the immersion is just not there for me though I did enjoy it.
Bethesda catches a lot of flack, some deserved for sure, but they are close to impossible to emulate what makes their games so monumental.
@@dartharyeshzilla7909 You sound hurt lmao
Playing it with my daughter now... of course with a lady character. She's 16 and I'm 47. She does most of the quests. I do all the smithing and enchantments. She likes it when her character becomes very strong, and beautiful! Maybe one day she will read this comment, and smile, remembering how we passed our times together.
From one dad to another, I wish you nothing but happiness! You have done your daughter a great service! I guarantee, to some degree, these are memories that will always surface when she thinks of her time with her dad!
heartwarming. Incredible what a game can trigger in us.
Absolutely amazing, im 16 as well and id kill to have a father like you. You are doing a good job.
You r souch a good father 🥹
@@danimoonie fr
From Past to Present to me ... IS Skyrim. Such an amazing and calming masterpiece.
Far Horizons is pretty nostalgic as well
Ancient Stones as well, its a shame they didn't perform that one
It’s my favorite song from this amazing game.
When Streets of Whiterun started, I realized id completely forgotten how it goes. I wasnt even sure id recognize it. But when i did recognize it the tears started flowing. Whiterun is like home away from home for me, even after all these years.

It was really good. Wished they played Sovengarde though. Woulda been a great end for the concert.
“Aurora” was absolutely haunting.
Absolutely lovely. I'm a 50ish lady, and Skyrim has been my retreat from difficulties for many years. So grateful for everyone who had a hand in creating this magnificently epic game.
I’m the same, Skyrim helped me through some of the worst times of my life. Hearing this fills me with emotion.

I love that this game just transcends all generations. There's none too old or too young. I started playing it when it released and I was 15. Here I am 11 years later and it's still my favourite game.
thanks to Jeremy Soule
Far horizons and from past to present are so bittersweet to hear. Makes me remember my first time playing for hours on end but also makes me remember I’ll never get to experience it quite like that again. These two songs especially, make me realize that I’m aging…
We will never age as long as we can play,
I would pay many Septims to see a full concert of this

@@Based1889well deserved the fucking audacity! CAN HE NOT SEE THE BLISTERS ON YOUR HANDS
Thank you Jeremy Soule for creating such a beautiful music.
One of the great tragedies of cancel culture. Brad Derrick has done a decent job with ES:O, but Jeremy Soule really nailed these soundtracks. Complete travesty he won't be doing ES:VI.
@@CLove511 Maybe he should you know, not be a creep. That he made such great music shouldn't make it ok for him to sexually assault and abuse mrs. Lawhead. There's a reason why Bethesda isn't bringing this guy back, because they know it too. If it wasn't true at all, he'd be composing the next TES.
@@TK0S3 today even an allegation is enough to ruin onr's career. I am inclined to believe Jeremy isnt a rapist.
@@TK0S3 It maybe true, but no one proved it - there was no day in court - so it also may not be true. We can all make our own personal judgments but for it to be possible that someone has their career ruined by nothing more than an accusation is pretty scary I think.
Art and artist's personal life must be held seperately, I think. Why would they care about it? We like what he had created, and that's it.
From Past to Present never ceases to tug on my heartstrings. Such immense beauty
It’s my favorite song from Skyrim. But, other pieces do pull at me.
Best...
Game..
Ever.
From Past to Present not getting enough love here. That one always puts me at peace.
Absolutely. Past to Present and Far Horizons are the iconic tracks to me.
It’s my all time favorite video game song.
My sister gifted this game to me in 2011, five years before she died. I always have it with me, either in physical format or through the entire soundtrack downloaded on my phone. I have climbed a small mountain and meditated to this music. It continues to touch me and to guide me through life. My sister is alive through Skyrim. 😍
She's in Sovngarde now brother.... may she rest in peace.
I'm so sorry... I hope she rests easy and I wish you and your folks the very best. I'm glad you find some level of peace in Skyrim
Omg I'm crying... I know she's at peace
MAN this has me crying so uncontrollably. I know for a fact shes still with you. But the gift of Skyrim that she gave you... Ugh, I'm so grateful she gave you this masterpiece.
I just stole the gold and sweetrole off her corpse before dumping it in the river
Skyrim OST is extremely beautiful. It is incredibly how humans can feel many things through sound.
i agree man. they did an awesome job fr
Jeremy Soule is a legend
It’s like a brain hack
What is most fasinating to me about the human design : They CREATE - music, art, invention, fully NEW information that never existed before in the Cosmos.
Where is the source of imagination ? In a deterministic universe ~ Imagination should not exist, no new information created from nothing ?
At some point wanted different music so i added a (good) music mod but secretly wishing that OST tracks coming up😎
From past to present is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed
How can you not be amazed and emotionally shaken by this.. What an incredible and unforgettable score.
Epic and deeply profound.
32:11 It always brings back memories of playing in the winter, wrapped in a blanket with a hot chocolate wandering around skyrim, i was 15/16
Same. I was a bit older, 20, and I was working 10hr shifts with 3hrs commute and feeling hopeless and trapped. And when I get home, instead of sleeping, I would open the window wide to let the cold air in, wrap in a blanket and just wander around Skyrim. For all its faults, this game saved my sanity and probably my life too, and it would not have been the same without this soundtrack.
ey bro dont do me like that , now i wanna download the game even more and play it for the 192381029381th time
That sounds so relaxing.
Such a good memory. This game is just special.
Yes white run my favourite place
I got unexpectedly emotional watching this. When I first played Skyrim my kids were little and used to watch me play all the time (usually only the outdoors exploration parts, I didn't venture into bone and blood strewn dungeons, but I digress). Each time I hear the music it draws me right back like it was yesterday. Many times I would play the Skyrim soundtrack in the car with them, so the music is as instantly recognizable for them as well. And now, many years later, my daughters have laptops of their own and now I am coaching them through their first playthroughs of their own.
this is good parenting :)
This is the exact thing I hope to share with my son and daughter one day :) He's only just 2 and she's only Due in a month XD But I truly cannot wait to introduce them to wonders such as this ^^

My favourite song from the game, sounds even better live!
It's such a heartwarming piece of music.
goosebumps everytime everywhere
Sometimes I come back to just close my eyes, listen forget about life for awhile. It’s all immaculate but streets of white run hit diffrent for me. Might be one of the prettiest songs I have ever heard.
Finding this has made me truly, deeply happy.
It's so easy to take the music for granted when you're playing Skyrim as it fits so well into the background. But this really makes me appreciate it and realise just how good it is.
Well said
Thank you for wording what I am feeling
Indeed. It makes up like, half of the gameplay experience.
I have listened to Skyrim's music for 2 years until I finally started playing it. I loved listening to it while hiking in the Alps. Perfect soundtrack for that.
did it really take you 10 years to realize that? such a great observation, wow you must be like a composer or something
14:08 ... I'm not crying, I've just taken an arrow to the eye *sniff*
A million times better than the actual anniversary release of the game ... this is the anniversary release that truly honours the original game, fantastic stuff!
That melody just feels like it rips my being to shreds with the speed of memories flooding in of the time and love i put into skyrim.. man, what great times :)
Totally agree man... also love this game more than anything else
This was beyond beautiful. G O O S E B U M P S
a thousand thanks to you, you made me laugh in my mixed emotion tears listening to this master piece
Too have heard this in person with your own ears would be a DREAM 🥺
Yup
My dad showed me Skyrim when I was 6 or younger. I didn’t know how to read and barely knew what to do, I’m 11 now and I have 90% of achievements on my PS4. I play the game everyday, best decision of my life.
I was like 7, I remember having heard about it from friends telling me you get to fight dragons, cast spells and everything. Once i heard that, i wanted it so bad, i used my pocket money paying for mobile data to download it on my xbox 360 because we didn't have Wifi at the time. Honestly my favorite game of all time.
I had a max level character on my xbox back then and it was just the best time i had in life.
Now after quite some years i got back to it on PC and it's still just a masterpiece.
Now it's 5:30 am and I'm sitting in my room tearing up...
The Exploration Suite fueled nearly every study session I've had for the past ten years. This will carry the next ten
Same, I really like forgotten vale
I love the Exploration Suite, so wonderful.
It's literally the same game but with mods
Twenty years of studying? What are you learning, the way of the voice?
@@andrewb8809 He is the true Dragonborn!
My husband asked me when I saw this if it brought back memories, but Elder Scrolls music has been played in the house every other day for the past 15 years. Its timeless.
Amen. X2

I tried playing starfield for an hour. Went back to playing Skyrim for 100 hours. Music makes such a difference
‘From Past to Present,’ is so damn genius. My all time favorite video game song.
"Ah, you're finally awake!"
Thank you Skyrim and Bethesda
"You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there."

Back when my wife and I were planning our wedding, I threw out this crazy idea I had of walking down the aisle to Streets of Whiterun, partially as a joke (but not really.) I back tracked and argued for something more traditional when we were in the final planning phases.
Fast forward to the wedding when I am walking down the aisle with the wedding party and wouldn't you know it, Streets of Whiterun was playing. My wife worked it in with the DJ as a secret because she knew how much I like that song. I was reminded yet again, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I was marrying the right one.
My wife walked down the aisle to Ancient Stones. It makes for great music to add that bit of magic to an event.
Such a wholesome story 🥰
Should've gone with Far Horizons and felt like a King
Fuck I would start to blast tears immediately. You did married the right one. I hope you'll be both happy together for a very long time!

Imagine the absolutely disgusting arrogance of Bethesda to capitalize on this truly iconic and breathtaking score by Jeremy Soule while at the same time casting him off to be relegated to the darkness of the forgotten for their newest installment. The fact that Bethesda does not truly understand that Soule's music caries with him the absolute identity of Tamriel, its truest DNA, its very soul and essence, and believes that someone else (likely Inon Zur) will even be able to conjure a minuscule modicum of the nature of Soule's genius is beyond sad, frustrating, and utterly depressing.
It was Soule’s own doing. His talent will be sorely missed but let’s not pretend like it will be impossible for other composers to fill his shoes. If anything, it will motivate whoever replaces him to make the best soundtrack possible.
@@knifewife4390 no one can fill his shoes. And I'm now sure how anything was his own doing.
Skyrim was always my go to, moving to the VR realm with a few mods, it has become a true sanctuary
Thank you for releasing a version without the talking over the music!
ikr lmao
Yes! That felt rude almost.
@potsmoker54 Just writing his name got you censored in chat
@ What? Was he "cancelled" or something by saying something "phobic" 30 years ago or somethin?
@@Akihito007 No idea what happened but yeah, he got cancelled and canned. Shame
32:13, I imagine all of us Skyrim players throughout the world in 30 years....that although so much time has passed....remembering the times we spent within the walls of Whiterun as we recall our favorite memories of not only this beautiful and amazing game but of our hopefully beautiful and amazing lives as we have grown old. This song is for every one out there who created a long-lasting memory of an adventure that we will never forget.
The streets of whiterun is such a good song. Whiterun is such an impactful place in the game too. I have a lot of great memories walking around there and enjoying the immersion.
This is the comment I was looking for!
Giving me goosebumps cuzzi
its like listening to Zelda ocarina of time soundtrack today =)
Bro you gon make me cry. Dont do this to me please. Im not ready
I swear anytime I hear skyrim music its like im back in the summer of 2012
lol...have I gotten to that point in my life where an orchestra brings tears to my eyes??
15:00 i just can't hold the tears.. i love this game so much
I have the exact same emotions... I am so grateful that this game exist and had the chance to experience it
swoooon!
Yes yes yes yes
I have no words to describe how that part made me feel.....
skyrim je prostě srdcovka no...
Beyond incredible.
A CZcamsr with 100 likes and 1 comments (me), incredible.
hey guys it's postboxpat welcome back to (VIDEO TITLE)
@@Zeeyx Not incredible, like that fortnite prat actually cares, he's just advertising his presence.
czcams.com/video/LSri74ADVSA/video.html
why does skyrim ost always send shivers and gives goosebumps, damn
We are never aware we've been part of the legend until it passes. The music is just out of this world. When I hear it now, 10 years after, it's Oscar worthy material. I'm so happy I own Jeremy's signed OST double CD. Sky above, Voice within.
its a good soundtrack but bragging about owning something signed by an alleged rapist isnt really anything to brag about, lol.
God I wish I had his signed works… his music helped me and my friends through very dark times. He is a true master of sound
Damn bro, I ordered a CD back in the day. It never arrived and they never answered my emails at customer support :(
@@Qynth Yeah, I've heard about those problems back in the day. Lots of people complained. I'm sad you didn't get your copy. You might try on ebay. They do appear from time to time. Best of luck.
@@zm0rc ALLEGED. Jeremy Soule, amazing composer, ALLEGED Rapist, suddenly isn't in business anymore. No one knows if the allegations are true, it didn't go to court, and suddenly we're down one of the best Game Music composers in the business. I'm not saying he's innocent, but again, I'm not saying he's guilty either. I HOPE he's innocent, but that means nothing. If he's guilty, well, then he must pay his debt to society, and have his name put on that list. But I have to say, it's amazing how an accusation can ruin a person's career, true or not. Accused of being a Rapist, Your professional Career is over, even if it's not true. Again, we don't know. I say that knowing that more than one woman accused him of something, the fact that we can't trust men, or women, to be honest about something so horrific....is terrifying, and I hate it. I'm going to believe the women, and feel sad about this loss to the gaming, and music, industries.
I love how more and more studios are filming orchestral concerts/recordings of their soundtracks! Dream coming true!
Can you name some, please...
@@Andynox Recently Genshin Impact had a whole 2 hour live stream. Beautiful. They also shared some parts of the recording before the game launched.
Ubisoft has an orchestra on their E3, blizzard used to have it for gamescom.
The game of the year awards this year will feature the biggest orchestra they've had for the GOTY-medley.
League of Legends uploaded a whole mini-documentary (available here on CZcams) about their music creation called "Frequencies". Mostly about the creation process but also with analog recording scenes.
These are the ones I can think of. It's by far not a lot yet, but it seems like as if it's gaining a little bit more traction.
I wish they would do orchestral recordings for their games from the start. Like, the in-game soundtracks. Digital may be cheaper, but there's no comparison to the feels of real orchestra experience.
@@Oozaru85 Same. Setting up the cameras and stuff is quite a bit of work but if you're already recording an orchestral soundtrack for your game you might as well publish a video of everyone coming together
@@nxt_tim Nah, I don't mean making videos of the orchestra playing. I mean recording an orchestral soundtrack for your game. Most games do their soundtracks digitally, with just a few or no real instruments at all. I want them to always use a real orchestra for their soundtracks instead of some PC software.
Skyrim sounds like heaven. No other game has or made a soundtrack like this
Music in my ears
Tears in my eyes
Voices in the air
Skyrim in my heart
11:56 is enough to make a grown man cry
now reading this comment while playing the part made me cry
im not much of a crier but i can tell you it still fills me with so much emotion and nostalgia, such a beautiful piece, thank you jeremy soule.
I feel you, dude. First time listening to this concert and all of those great memories makes me tear up many times.
I started levitating
yeah, takes me right back to where i was when i first heard it in the game. Right there... its nice. Asmongold clips quite often have it behind them on YT.
I always cry a little at "Far Horizons", but here at 15:04 tears flowed like a river. This performance is even stronger than the original version... Amazing
100% thats so wonderful
First time hearing piano part i just broke, tears all over the face, nostalgia and hopefulness
i cry to the whole ost, what a marvellous piece of art
Full agreed, this performance is powerfull
Думал что мне одному нравится эта композиция, всегда представлял ее с уходящим солнцем на горизонте
They don't name him and try very hard to remove him from TES history, but this legendary music was created by Jeremy Soule, the one and only.
I’ve never heard of or played Skyrim. I always listen to Hans Zimmer and the like, through this I discovered Jeremy Soule’s entire soundtrack to the game and even without playing the game it feels like home and I can’t believe how much talent the London Symphony has to play each note pretty much exactly like the original score recording. I’m in awe
Far Horizons is eye-sobbing, this game will never be forgotten for those who experienced it
Well, it helps that lots of people get to experience it when it gets remastered and put on every new platform every few years.
Edit - Not to detract from this performance, or the fact that the game just has a fantastically moving and very memorable soundtrack to start with.
Listening to this brought back memories of playing Skyrim for the first time. A game has never impacted me so much (except maybe Icewind Dale).
@@lukeruzinsky6436 Definitely there with you, a game has never game impacted me so much
There I was thinking it was just me not being able to keep a dry eye whenever I listen to that track
@@matthewbrereton2617 Power of music is equal for all :")

Your opinion means literally nothing coming from such a piece of trash channel
Skyrim player since 2012.
This orchestra makes me very emotional
Been playing since 12am 11-11-11
Sky Above, Voice Within
"Far Horizons" and " The Streets Of Whiterun" Both of these pieces are so beautiful. I'm in tears right now. Bless Jeremy Soule for composing this beautiful score.
The streets of whiterun as to be the best pieces ever made make me so emotional
Those are my two favorite pieces in the entire soundtrack. Streets of Whiterun is devastatingly beautiful in this arrangement. Let’s hope Jeremy returns for ES6.
Fun fact: When writing the music for The Elder Scrolls V, Jeremy Soule included motifs and nods to his creative works for the legendary 2003 Game of the Year, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. An example of this is a snippet of Bastila Shan's theme in the song Distant Horizons.
I thought I was the only one in tears... Thinking back to 2011 brought back so many memories.
@@Dumbrarere Good spot. The man is just incredible when it comes to interweaving motifs, especially from the old Elder Scrolls games. One of my favourite constants is how he always references the main Elder Scrolls theme in most of the music in one variation or another, especially in Skyrim.
roaming skyrim at night, looking up at the firmament, the clouds, the stars. Drawing slow but deep breaths as if I was to inhale the scenery. then looking back down and seeing the moonlit road in front, the dim streetlight showing the way ahead. Off the beaten road are so many possibilities, so many adventures to be had. Yet the road is harsh and may twist and wind in ways unforeseen. Solemnly I wander forward into the misty domain, the icy breeze may take me wherever. But there's a fire inside my heart smoldering like a dragon's breath. For I am, the Dragonborn. My destiny is lain out for me, I will fulfill it eventually.
my first playthrough of skyrim during its initial release was eyeopening. It redefined the term "immersiveness" and changed my perceptions of videogames as a medium forever. the BGM amplified this experience by an indescribable amount. thanks for letting me relive these precious memories!
You got to remember. This game is almost 13 years old and still new gamers are playing this game. Like nobody is playing Fifa 12.
14:58 this might be the greatest orchestral moment my ears have ever heard
my jaw literally dropped.
Amazing. This is without a doubt the greatest single performance I have ever heard
Far Horizons is literally one of the greatest pieces of music ever. I get chills whenever I listen to it.
Then it's time to listen to real music.
@Baker this is real music. The “real” music you speak of is just a different type of music. Video game OSTs have some of the most memorable, famous, and recognizable songs in history. Just take the Super Mario Bros overworld theme for example, it is recognizable to almost anyone as soon as they hear the first two beats. Video Game music is a different and just as, if not more popular form of music.
The begginning immediately made me start crying. I've been playing Skyrim since the first day, at ten years old. I didn't fully understand what was going on at first, but it quickly became a solid part of me. It's the game that got me into RPG's, helped shape and carve my imagination. I would give absolutely anything to play it for the first time again. Thank you, Bethesda.
I discovered in back when I was still playing 360. I think I was maybe 15 or 14. I honestly have no idea but listening to this makes me want to cry as well because I group up with Skyrim. I moved from 360 to special edition on xbox 1 and then got the 10th anniversary edition. I can't explain how much skyrim means to me.
Same here, I cried a lot of joy listening to this ❤️
Replying just to have a notification remind you this exist
@@waaromeenusername that is genuinely so nice of you, thank you! :)
I played Morrowind when i was younger which was a wild ride as i had no idea what i was doing or where i was going and then i got a PS3 which had Oblivion and that was a lot of fun and then finally my older sister got me and my sister Skyrim on steam each when we were 10 around its release and that was how i got into skyrim.
I listen to this soundtrack DAILY. This is some of the most therapeutic music I’ve ever heard in my entire life. I have “life” from aura whisper and “peace” from Kynes Peace tattooed on my hands. Skyrim will forever be a piece of me.
14:08 this piano section that builds back into the main melody hits you right in the feels ..... every time
Music is such an important part of the Skyrim experience that the game would feel empty without it. It's almost like a separate character in itself.
I find hearing the music makes me want to play the game again more than any other aspect. Like I don't want to play again because of any game mechanics or graphics or to try a new build...but I hear this music and I want to be back in the world.
@@Phyrre56 Sometimes i played the game only for the music. Would go to a snowy mountain top and just listen
@@Phyrre56 Music is something incomparable to other aspects of the game. It makes the world feel believable, real and creates an inseperable connection with it. It basically forms the world. Just by listening to the music, without knowing the game, you can imagine a world similiar to Skyrim. It's truly amazing what music can do.
11:03 that's no doubt the most beautiful, godlike and epic version of Far Horizons I've ever heard. Can't count how many times I played it already and shed a tear everytime.
just one tear? I am literally cryyying here haha :D
Bro right when this started almost cried instantly
so god damn beautiful!
Do you remember what any of the daytime exploration tracks are?
Cos Aurora, Far Horizons and From Past to Present all sound like night time.
@@Spartan-001BladeHunter far horizons plays whenever you’re exploring. Doesn’t matter what time of the day
Skyrim, maybe not the best game gameplay-wise, but for me, the best game atmosphere-wise. Walking around that world, feeling like the dragonborn, listening to this beautiful music, no game has ever come close to that feeling that awakened that fall of 2011. For that, this game has and will forever have, a place in my heart.
4 minutes seeing this and im already crying. Best OST of all time.
Skyrim has become a classic in gaming history. Skyrim's music is also becoming classic. This performance gave me goosbumps. Thanks for the great work.
The French Horn in Far Horizons makes me want to cry because of how good that part is, especially at the beginning.
++
It truly is delightful.
You ought to check out Gustav Holst's "The Planets", quite a bit of great French horn goodness in that suite! But yes, Far Horizons makes you feel like the universe itself is telling you that it is aware of your dreams and that you hold some value within it, as if the notes are denoting purpose in your feelings and memories. One of the best songs in the game.
I used that song to fall asleep for years it's so peaceful.
I agree
From Past to Present is my favorite song
Skyrim is a Living Masterpiece. This guys have done an amazing job and put all their heart and soul in it. And the music of Jeremy Soule just lifts you up to the highest peace😊😊
Honestly, I couldn't stop crying at Far Horizons. I've never stop playing this game when I was 14. I'm now 22 and I haven't stop playing it since and I am beyond grateful for what this game had done for me in my life and will always remember my first walkthrough...
Dude I swear, even you mentioning it I'm getting emotional. The beautiful nuance and independence of the lines, the lovely resonant instrumentation of the live version. The piano and flute in Past to Present has such a Christmassy feel to it and I remember nearly 10 years ago returning to this when I was 16, in October-December 2013, cosy as I explored, if nothing else just to hear the music. I'd have a glass of coke, have Friends on in the background and just venture out into Skyrim while amazing music like that sounds in the background. While I found the anniversary edition totally disappointing, this live edition, to me, would have been worth the price of admission alone.
bro i started playing when i was 11 and im 22 now, not a day goes buy where i dont launch skyrim if even just to look at the scenery and listen to ingame music
Far Horizons is definitely the Best Skyrim song.
samee i dont think im ever going to stop playing this game.
@@EB-wt2ty even when TES6 comes out ill still be coming back just to pay respects
Far Horizons is one of the finest music ever composed for a video game.
Yes.
The Streets of Whiterun too!
Period.
