I love this scene in the game because it feels like that fake âI figured it out, Iâll ignore my depression everything is gonna be perfectâ and that unrealistic attitude can cause things to get worse
I feel this way a lot. At the very least that sense of relief then realization. That is to say. My highest highs are followed by my lowest lows. I am literally insane. Depression anxiety hell you name it I got it. I have put to much pressure on myself calling myself a failure my entire life. Truly I am now stagnant. I can't explain it. Who can? Contemplating everything. Knowing nothing. Pointless. As a result I have lost touch with reality.
@@shirori2004 In sense, we're acting like machines, just moving forward without any real drive, just an automatic process. Pointless but stuck in an eternal sense of "Hope for things to improve" and knowing fully well that they can break in seconds. Pointless Machines.
I felt disappointed in Celeste because I thought the game was telling me that ignoring my depression was the way to cure it... ...but then my eyes popped just like Badeline's portrait. đź Very meaningful scene.
â@@acamera367 Yeah, that's kinda life. Fragile. In that sense, things can get worse OR better in seconds. I don't think that's machine like at all. Wanting a happier, better life is the goal of all living things in the world. If anything, it'd be machine like to just accept how things are, to conform to what the universe gives you, like inputting code into a computer and watching it process and accept those things. It's human to want and work for better. Just my opinion.
This part of the soundtrack turned this part of the game into an unforgettable experience. The way the first, lower-intensity part of this track was layered under "Madeline and Theo" during that campfire scene really set it apart from the earlier scenes with Theo, creating an air of satisfaction at what they'd just gotten through, and helped make it a night both Madeline and I wanted to remember. Then it seamlessly transitions into the more intense version when Madeline starts dreaming, and it's a happy and beautiful dream, until Badeline turns it into a nightmare. Everything about Badeline in that scene, from her sound effects, to the dialogue, to the way Badeline climbs out of her FRICKIN TEXTBOX PORTRAIT, to her breaking your feather, is just high-octane *literal* nightmare fuel, for both myself and Madeline, turning the happiest part of the game thus far into the worst nightmare Madeline has ever had in less than a minute. And underscoring that entire experience is this one track.
It is also, at least in my experience, a damn accurate description of depression. The moments of joy and peace are directly followed by equally strong or even more powerful moments of darkness. As a reminder to tell you that you can't do it. You can't overcome your depression. Your sadness defines you. You ARE Badeline. And just like in the game, the only way to get past it is to accept it for what it is. God that scene was done perfectly.
I really, really like how the blown-out effect on the music is used here. Like, the tune here sounds triumphant, but the blown-out sound makes you nervous. You think that Madeline has finally found the solution to her problems with her anxieties and fears, and the music that's building up seems to confirm that, but the fact that the audio is slightly warped and ends up more and more aggressive lets you in on the fact that Madeline is trying to brute force her way through her other half and destroy it, rather than learn to work with it. It's such a minor effect but it sells the scene so goshdarn well.
I love how when wearing earphones you can hear the sound travel slowly left and right in a circle, just like how Badeline is circling around the player
The real interesting thing is how the "part of her/Badaline" first appears in the dream of chapter 2, and after the small twist of most of level 2 being a dream I thought "part of her/Badaline" was only inside her head, but through her repeated actions, the chapter 6 campfire scene, and the acceptance at the end of chapter 6 it really blends the line of reality In the game. You can't tell if it's in Madeline's head or if it is just a magical mountain...
It really shows how depression and negative thoughts may be only in your head, but start to seep into reality, blending the line between imagination and affecting everyone, everything around you, and more so, affecting you. And how it can IMMEDIATELY make everything go âdownhillâ Like falling off a mountain you struggled so much to get up.
True. Badeline was always put into situations, up until Reflection, where she could easily be interpreted as a hallucination/imagination. I didn't realize it consciously until now, but that's part of what really sold me on all the interactions with her. I was constantly theorizing if she was real or fake. It's pretty cool how they made all this work.
Andrew Stanton you obviously donât watch Schlatt. The buildup to the climax of beating the wonder dragon was amazing. Antvenom and Schlatt are such a good duo. I still reminisce about smplive and how much joy it gave me.
kash henk Yeah but celeste deals with actual emotions and not shitty minecraft memes. Maybe you should try and branch out to things better than just youtubers,, take it from me, its worth it.
If only I could express how painfully realistic this moment is. To some extent at least. You feel as if you are free. Like you have everything figured out. And then you fall. You fall so far so fast that it seems almost as if you are deeper than you started.
I came here hoping for some heartfelt comments about what was one of the most emotional parts of the game for me, and my favorite, and instead it's just about Schlatt. Dang.
@D- licious now that's just uncalled for, Celeste is a great game that deals with serious topics such as depression and anxiety and the road to getting over them, jschlatt having some funny moments and pulling a gamer move by saving himself with water on his first try was pretty intense, sure, but it's not better than this game. they're 2 completely unrelated things, you can't compare them.
I love hearing this with headphones (I don't usually use them) I like how at the beginning its one thing creeping up on you. And at that one moment it just surrounds you completely and you can feel the fear coming.
this is my favorite track. it hits me so hard. i played this part of the game yesterday, and last night, i had a nightmare. the nightmare lasted a single moment, but it was extremely intense and horrifying and i immediately woke up, the fear still with me. without even thinking i began to breathe, and i imagined a feather slowly floating up and down with my breath. i haven't played a video game in over a year and i picked this one up seemingly at random. it means so much to me now.
This comment is for Lena Raine. I doubt you will ever see this, it'll surely be buried under the masses of comments about Minecraft references. However in the minuscule chance you do see it, I want to let you know that this is without a doubt one of the best, if not the best pieces of music I have ever heard. Not only were you able to put it into a game where it was perfectly placed, but you managed to encompass the feelings which accompany panic and anxiety better than I believe words ever could. However that is not all. This piece also manages to be one of the most inspirational I have ever heard. This song gives the listener, at least in my personal experience, the motivation to get up and continue. Your music is unforgettable, but this piece takes the cake as my favorite. Finally, I would like to thank you. From the bottom of my heart. I love this game, I love the music, in the game, but most relevant to me right now is that I love this music. And for that, I would like to thank you. I'm a very broke student so the best I can give for the time being is words, and these words likely won't ever reach you. But I'm writing them in the hopes that maybe they do.
I am making a remix of this song, to embrace its meaning and feeling, it is still long form finished as for I have no idea how to do anything yet, I will try to get it finished before This years Xmas
I love how the song starts really softly, moving from an ear to the other. It's peaceful. And then, the synth comes in. It suddenly feels ominous. The atmosphere tenses up. Your heart resonates with the melody. And the drums kicks in. What was a serene dream is now your worst nightmare. Violent. Brash. Adrenaline-inducing. And then... it suddenly stops. The nightmare is over. But now, you've got a whole mountain to climb. Again. Did you know ? You can't outrun your own reflection.
The way Madeline and Theo is slowly taken over by Star Jump is so incredibly powerful. It gets me every time. From a calm chat with a friend, then a nice dream, and finally into the most anxienty inducing nightmare of your life. "You are not above me"
@@constanzaquidel60 a minecraft letsplay series called smplive, the particular event being from a video of one of the participants, Jschlatt, killing the ender dragon with antvenom. even tho minecraft is cool now i still feel gay talking about this lmao
The comments be like: 10% "This soundtrack's so good!" 15% Something related to the scene in Celeste. 75% "They did it... the mad lads defeated the ender dragon."
I love that the start of this track is one aspect of Madeline and Theo on its own. A beautiful way to illustrate the idea of Madeline dreaming about and contemplating her earlier conversation with Theo through music.
I got very confused at this part. And not because I didnât understand what was happening, I knew something not good was happening, but the music sounds so assertive and triumphant. Itâs like itâs trying to ignore that heavy bass line that fades in. Itâs like Madeline is trying to ignore the problems Badeline causes. Whenever Badeline appears, it always coincides with a very thick bass. Only when you know this do you realize just how precisely the music mimics the actual narrative in this scene. Thereâs not a single track in this game that doesnât have some kind of meaning intrinsically built into its aesthetic. Absolutely beautiful.
Okay straight up I watched the schlatt video when it came out and was like "wow this song is really good I wonder where it's from" and I was playing Celeste today when I got to this part of the game and I was like!! wait!!! this is it!!!! And honestly it made that moment even more special.
Now, I may not suffer from anxiety or depression as is the case for some people, but when that feather got cut in half my heart sank immediately. I figured as a kind of MacGuffin it would help Madeline overcome all her problems until Badeline made it clear otherwise. There was no hope in that instance and I truly felt it.
I interpreted this cutscene as Madeline trying to kill herself. With her apparently "miserable life" and how she copes with her depression by starting flame wars and drinking, I genuinely felt like this was a suicide attempt from Madeline and it not just being Badeline slam jamming Madeline into reflection
I also love how this song gets almost earrapey but not in the memey *dear God why is this so loud* way but a good way. Something your mind would conjure up while you cry to yourself
I saw it more as Madeline attempting to understand her depression and foolishly thinking she can just abandon a part of her, only to end up at a point in her life that is actually lower than where she started from the beginning, resulting in her having to climb out of it and start all over
â KhasInser Garcia I bought and played the game over summer, completing it and most of its challenges across the holidays. The game and the gorgeous ost really stuck with me. Thanks for the heads-up though!
I played the game over my brothers house and got to summit in 5 hours. Looked up how much more I had to and it absolutely destroyed me how much was left. I'm gonna buy the game now
i listened to the OST before i bought the game, and i was like, "oh, this track is cool." now that i've played through it, i can't listen to it without crying. this was my favorite part of the game. everything about it was incredibly well done and completely blew me away.
This really makes me feel like Iâm floating in the sky, enveloped in stars, with an ominous, yet soothing feeling,being at gravities will, then when the intensity ramps up I just imagine falling. Sweet Jesus this soundtrack is so good at making you FEEL whatâs going on yknow
Depression hit me so hard that really feels like I'm sick of a common cold. Every day that I wake up and open my eyes I feel like I doesn't want to get up off my bed. Every day is the same day. It's worst nowadays, with the outbreak out here, and me working in a job that I doesn't like... Being the intermediary to the problems of my boss, his brother and family. My mother doesn't get how my problem works, and I don't have the guts to commit suicide. I don't think that suicide really change something from others... I don't think that deleting me from existence could change something from others. This song, for me it's like a really getting the guts to change to a normal life, without this mental illness, but, I don't know what to do if learn something to be more happy and hopeful towards future. That's my great downfall... I wish I could change/understand the nature of my depression and anxiety, but, what I'm going do without it? My life would be more miserable than now? Would I take the chance of understanding or changing and deny my whole existence for once if I get rid of my illness??? I was bullied, used by others, I tried to tell this to my parents, or grandparents, but nobody listen to me. All my family thought that I should be a lunatic, or a dummy guy trying to get their attention. Then my grandpa died from a heart attack. I think that from here, was my early downfall.... I didn't go to a festival in secondary school because that. I didn't go to school in 2/3 weeks from that. All my classmates went to my grandpa's funeral. But, I didn't feel like the support of all of them, and the low support from my family was helping me. I didn't want to go with my mom. Nowadays, I didn't feel in home. I'm feeling like a complete stranger in my own home. The argues with my Mom haven't stopped. I'm thinking that moving to another will be a great idea. A little step to get me free from that, but I don't think that it will cure me. Only when I move, I move to get me locked in that home. Without attachment to anybody. I thought that getting married, or having a relationship with someone will be that cure that I'm seeking for. But, my freedom... My beloved freedom will be gone with that. And having kids? What a nonsense, since I will use them to cure my own problems or only to destroy them like they destroyed me... I played the game, founding a good form to calm my anxiety, but, why a videogame would tought that? Here, nobody understand mental illness, neither depression or anxiety. They call it only madness, or lunatic people... I hope this doesn't get too long, dear reader.... But congrats on reading the most. The soundtrack of Celeste Bewitched me, in the way that loops forever and doesn't have an end like depression. I'm going to with a psychologist a few months ago to get rid from this, but the truth it's, the more harder you try to get rid from this, the more struggle let you without that energy to do all the things that you have planned for. I'm writing my own diary of everyday to download all my feelings there, but I feel like there's no point to do that much, because I written all my despair, all my hatred in the first months, the last, are so repetitive and boring... If you want to write here if you have another struggle with this illness, only write it. I'll read it more than knows that the range of suicide have augmented...
Uriel B. Mogollan I think it is important to know that its ok to not understand yourself. thats something that tore me apart. My parents split up at an early age and while i didnt feel responsible I couldnât- No i Wouldnât feel happy. I just wanted to be able to take it in stride, to deal with it. At the time my mind felt like a waterfall crashing onto my body, slowly breaking it. Things began to change when i learned its ok to be sad, people are there for me of course but its naive to even try to understand yourself when youâre in such a state. I felt like my person couldnt be stripped to a bone, layer for layer leading to another more rotten one. But eventually i just forgot it. I adopted the view of nihilism in a positive light. Sure, things wonât matter eventually but i can control how âeventuallyâ is defined. A year? A century? A second? No part of the universe cared for me so why should i care for it. iâd rather make others happy by being in my presence instead of trying to force myself into coping with my own and through others i came to understand myself. Though that may be big talk for a 13 year old, so iâll shut up.
i really hope everyone in this thread is doing better, its hard to truly understand oneself, especially when you're stuck in a negative state of mind, but its ok to struggle, and the fact that we try our best is what makes it special, beautiful and worth it in my opinion Keep fighting folks, you are all amazing people and worth fighting for!
I like how it sounds angry and in a way distorted. Itâs like she knows itâs not the right solution deep down, but she is just desperately looking for any solutionâŠ
this song was much too loud when i first heard it in game but honestly that truly contributed to how powerful that scene was. I absolutely love the percussion in this song.
This being one of the shorter tracks really fits in my opinion, I've seen others in the comments saying how this is the short-lived mindset that you can just ignore your feelings and steamroll past them and I fully agree, I feel that the way the intensity of the track increases and then falls of almost immediately at the end can compare to how this steamrolling mindset feels if you're ever to go through it, increasing build, nearly successful and then very quickly falls apart.
The whole game is just a brilliant masterpiece of sound design from start to finish. The music alone from this game could be a master class on its own.
years later and i just gotta say, i'm sure this is probably what you were going for when you made this but i love how this song progresses like a real panic attack. and i know you won't see this because you've got bigger projects to work with now, but for the record: lena raine, you did it. you captured real emotion in sound like i never thought i'd get to listen to in my lifetime. thank you.
Me: Nodding along with Madeline's explanations about how Badeline sucks. Baddie: * winces * why would you say that? Me: TAKE IT BACK Baddie: Starts crawling out of textbox. Me: *TAKE IT BACKKKK*
the bitcrushed drums are so fucking good oh my GOD perfect way of showing how the scene progresses. made it so much more memorable. i love this soundtrack so much and this song is definitely one of the highlights imo
I can feel it when I wear headphones. The way it moves back and forth, like through my head. Kinda the same way Madeline and Badeline moves in this chapter, after a while one washes out the other, and begins to overwhelm the other. *Kinda makes you think about what this game really is huh?*

Syrahl696 is she called badeline?
according to the steam trading card and the text files the game uses, yes
she shouldn't be for what she is, but she can be because being misled about her is part of the experience.

When Jschlatt dropped the bucket and saved his life refusing to fail twice
if he didn't pull off that sick ass move with no experience prior
smplive's season 1 finale would NOT have hit as hard
I literally jumped off of my chair, when watching the video, this music was the perfect choice
Zachungo Bogungo BRUH
From what's that?

ITS BEEN SO FUCKING LONG IVE SPENT THE ENTIRE DAY ITS 2:24 AM BUT I FINALLY FUCKING FOUND THE SONG IM CRYING
@@ns.5699 u do know it was very easy traceable in the comments
Is there a reference I'm missing?
I love that the start of this track is one aspect of Madeline and Theo on its own. A beautiful way to illustrate the idea of Madeline dreaming about and contemplating her earlier conversation with Theo through music.
I got very confused at this part. And not because I didnât understand what was happening, I knew something not good was happening, but the music sounds so assertive and triumphant. Itâs like itâs trying to ignore that heavy bass line that fades in. Itâs like Madeline is trying to ignore the problems Badeline causes. Whenever Badeline appears, it always coincides with a very thick bass. Only when you know this do you realize just how precisely the music mimics the actual narrative in this scene. Thereâs not a single track in this game that doesnât have some kind of meaning intrinsically built into its aesthetic. Absolutely beautiful.
Okay straight up I watched the schlatt video when it came out and was like "wow this song is really good I wonder where it's from" and I was playing Celeste today when I got to this part of the game and I was like!! wait!!! this is it!!!! And honestly it made that moment even more special.
Same feeling when playing chapter 3a, 6, and 3b after playing ToNS, which uses all 3 of those songs
@@SciDarkRealstarjump is used in ToNS???
@@Opticized floor 2
which schlatt video?
@@isaacologyYT the fighting the ender dragon/face reveal video lmao
Now, I may not suffer from anxiety or depression as is the case for some people, but when that feather got cut in half my heart sank immediately. I figured as a kind of MacGuffin it would help Madeline overcome all her problems until Badeline made it clear otherwise. There was no hope in that instance and I truly felt it.
I interpreted this cutscene as Madeline trying to kill herself. With her apparently "miserable life" and how she copes with her depression by starting flame wars and drinking, I genuinely felt like this was a suicide attempt from Madeline and it not just being Badeline slam jamming Madeline into reflection
I also love how this song gets almost earrapey but not in the memey *dear God why is this so loud* way but a good way. Something your mind would conjure up while you cry to yourself
You know, thatâs true: if almost all of this is in her head then it would explain why she fell off the mountain. This is one deep game!
I saw it more as Madeline attempting to understand her depression and foolishly thinking she can just abandon a part of her, only to end up at a point in her life that is actually lower than where she started from the beginning, resulting in her having to climb out of it and start all over
Jonny Goodmeme Yeah, as someone whoâs been there, I saw it that way too.
Beetle Cry Why did you think that? I'm fairly certain that's not at all what happens at all
I need to get this game
Free with gold on Xbox rn
â KhasInser Garcia I bought and played the game over summer, completing it and most of its challenges across the holidays. The game and the gorgeous ost really stuck with me. Thanks for the heads-up though!
I played the game over my brothers house and got to summit in 5 hours. Looked up how much more I had to and it absolutely destroyed me how much was left. I'm gonna buy the game now
Yes you do.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WAITING FOR
Jebediah Schlatts newest video brought me here. Good music taste
Wait shlatt used this? Big guy really does have taste
Me: man i love the celeste ost
90% of new comments:
Ender Dragon? Aw man...
Aw man.
got my pickaxe
swingin from side to side
no.
@@gapplssb agreed
I like how Madeline and Theo seamlessly changes into Starjump.
i listened to the OST before i bought the game, and i was like, "oh, this track is cool."
now that i've played through it, i can't listen to it without crying. this was my favorite part of the game. everything about it was incredibly well done and completely blew me away.
Was the clipping distortion in the last 40 seconds intentional? If it was, it really did add to the intenseness of that part of the game.
It is. This track is amazing, as is Lena Raine.
Of course it was, lol. Distorted drums are badass
Yes it's intentional
This really makes me feel like Iâm floating in the sky, enveloped in stars, with an ominous, yet soothing feeling,being at gravities will, then when the intensity ramps up I just imagine falling. Sweet Jesus this soundtrack is so good at making you FEEL whatâs going on yknow
This actually plays when your in the sky in one of the cutscenes
Depression hit me so hard that really feels like I'm sick of a common cold. Every day that I wake up and open my eyes I feel like I doesn't want to get up off my bed.
Every day is the same day. It's worst nowadays, with the outbreak out here, and me working in a job that I doesn't like... Being the intermediary to the problems of my boss, his brother and family.
My mother doesn't get how my problem works, and I don't have the guts to commit suicide. I don't think that suicide really change something from others...
I don't think that deleting me from existence could change something from others.
This song, for me it's like a really getting the guts to change to a normal life, without this mental illness, but, I don't know what to do if learn something to be more happy and hopeful towards future.
That's my great downfall... I wish I could change/understand the nature of my depression and anxiety, but, what I'm going do without it?
My life would be more miserable than now? Would I take the chance of understanding or changing and deny my whole existence for once if I get rid of my illness???
I was bullied, used by others, I tried to tell this to my parents, or grandparents, but nobody listen to me. All my family thought that I should be a lunatic, or a dummy guy trying to get their attention.
Then my grandpa died from a heart attack. I think that from here, was my early downfall....
I didn't go to a festival in secondary school because that. I didn't go to school in 2/3 weeks from that. All my classmates went to my grandpa's funeral.
But, I didn't feel like the support of all of them, and the low support from my family was helping me.
I didn't want to go with my mom. Nowadays, I didn't feel in home. I'm feeling like a complete stranger in my own home. The argues with my Mom haven't stopped.
I'm thinking that moving to another will be a great idea. A little step to get me free from that, but I don't think that it will cure me. Only when I move, I move to get me locked in that home. Without attachment to anybody.
I thought that getting married, or having a relationship with someone will be that cure that I'm seeking for. But, my freedom... My beloved freedom will be gone with that. And having kids? What a nonsense, since I will use them to cure my own problems or only to destroy them like they destroyed me...
I played the game, founding a good form to calm my anxiety, but, why a videogame would tought that?
Here, nobody understand mental illness, neither depression or anxiety. They call it only madness, or lunatic people...
I hope this doesn't get too long, dear reader.... But congrats on reading the most.
The soundtrack of Celeste Bewitched me, in the way that loops forever and doesn't have an end like depression.
I'm going to with a psychologist a few months ago to get rid from this, but the truth it's, the more harder you try to get rid from this, the more struggle let you without that energy to do all the things that you have planned for.
I'm writing my own diary of everyday to download all my feelings there, but I feel like there's no point to do that much, because I written all my despair, all my hatred in the first months, the last, are so repetitive and boring...
If you want to write here if you have another struggle with this illness, only write it. I'll read it more than knows that the range of suicide have augmented...
Uriel B. Mogollan I think it is important to know that its ok to not understand yourself. thats something that tore me apart. My parents split up at an early age and while i didnt feel responsible I couldnât- No i Wouldnât feel happy. I just wanted to be able to take it in stride, to deal with it. At the time my mind felt like a waterfall crashing onto my body, slowly breaking it. Things began to change when i learned its ok to be sad, people are there for me of course but its naive to even try to understand yourself when youâre in such a state. I felt like my person couldnt be stripped to a bone, layer for layer leading to another more rotten one. But eventually i just forgot it. I adopted the view of nihilism in a positive light. Sure, things wonât matter eventually but i can control how âeventuallyâ is defined. A year? A century? A second? No part of the universe cared for me so why should i care for it. iâd rather make others happy by being in my presence instead of trying to force myself into coping with my own and through others i came to understand myself. Though that may be big talk for a 13 year old, so iâll shut up.
@@Natoursofcourse I agree, the only way I got better was by learning to accept myself.
I still in depression. (Or so they say) I don't think i am. Anways doctors are assholes sometimes.
Now im starting to realize what a fucked up dude i am.
i really hope everyone in this thread is doing better, its hard to truly understand oneself, especially when you're stuck in a negative state of mind, but its ok to struggle, and the fact that we try our best is what makes it special, beautiful and worth it in my opinion
Keep fighting folks, you are all amazing people and worth fighting for!
Man this soundtrack was beautiful. Made this part of the game unforgettable.
This is a fucking masterpiece of an OST.
I like how it sounds angry and in a way distorted. Itâs like she knows itâs not the right solution deep down, but she is just desperately looking for any solutionâŠ
i appreciate how the music becomes distorted, that's beautiful
every song for celeste is so great i'm almost crying, it fits the game very well
this song was much too loud when i first heard it in game but honestly that truly contributed to how powerful that scene was. I absolutely love the percussion in this song.
this song is so good oh my god
unbelieveable.
he did it.

1:30 is underrated.
YOU THINK YOUR ABOVE ME!?!
1:30 kicks in...
*THIS WAS A FUCKING MISTAKE*
The BRUTAL drums really make you scared of Badeleine.
Lmao, was here 10 months ago. Now here from schlatt
@@fiffyfly2131 hey Madeleine any updates fron her?
I really really loved the scene that this track was in
THIS IS PERFECT, MY FAVORITE OST EVER
This being one of the shorter tracks really fits in my opinion, I've seen others in the comments saying how this is the short-lived mindset that you can just ignore your feelings and steamroll past them and I fully agree, I feel that the way the intensity of the track increases and then falls of almost immediately at the end can compare to how this steamrolling mindset feels if you're ever to go through it, increasing build, nearly successful and then very quickly falls apart.
The drums on this are CRAZY
*Ä°Ćte bu yĂŒzden, 100 insana gösterdik...*
I see the drummer from Scattered and Lost made his return
Lol Yass u right
This song tears me apart emotionally. I'm literally in tears after 15-seconds, and I haven't even played the game.
Once you play it,this song will tear you apart even more according to my experience
@@starrykailani Thanks ... almost worth buying the game just to experience that.
@@a2pha It is
those drums are fucking CRUNCHY
*casually mlg water buckets*
Everybody gangstaâ
âTil the featherâs cut in half.
the madlad actually did it
He defeated the ender dragon with antvenom
Huh
Oh this IS the song i just realized
@@Goldrusher-ee3jo Wait from what?
From the smplive episode where jschlatt killed the ender dragon with antvenom
@@Memeicall i reccomend watching smplive from the beginning, its the funniest minecraft server ive seen
Still holds up to this day, a perfect song
The whole game is just a brilliant masterpiece of sound design from start to finish. The music alone from this game could be a master class on its own.
Hands Down the Most Powerful Track out of the entire Game
Is amazingđ
years later and i just gotta say, i'm sure this is probably what you were going for when you made this but i love how this song progresses like a real panic attack. and i know you won't see this because you've got bigger projects to work with now, but for the record: lena raine, you did it. you captured real emotion in sound like i never thought i'd get to listen to in my lifetime. thank you.
Your music is awesome, it really touched my heart, thanks Lena!

Get a really nice pair of headphones and listen. It has a whole new effect on you.
Bro just listening to this makes me remember when felt like years ago
For a cutscene that actually almost made me scream, *it bops really hard.*
I still cannot believe how few views or subs your channel has gotten! Your work is truly inspiring!
The dark synth is immaculate, this is probably my favourite track in Celeste.
My favourite, it make me thinking about falling into the absolutely calm void. Impressive, thank you
This song is the definition of "false confidence"
this is what anxiety sounds like
I love how most of this melody is just 4 repeated notes, but it's still SO GOOD
The intro of this reminds me of an another fantastic soundtrack from the game Sword & Sworcery !
Dude, is great to know that I'm not the only one
lena raine is an amazing music composer
Im feel HEAVENLY when I hear this Mithycal song
This, oshiro's chase theme, and the opening remix in ressurections teach you that drums make a lot of songs better
Me: Nodding along with Madeline's explanations about how Badeline sucks.
Baddie: * winces * why would you say that?
Me: TAKE IT BACK
Baddie: Starts crawling out of textbox.
Me: *TAKE IT BACKKKK*

Bussy Bois is gonna deliver tonight
This is the best song in the game
the bitcrushed drums are so fucking good oh my GOD
perfect way of showing how the scene progresses. made it so much more memorable. i love this soundtrack so much and this song is definitely one of the highlights imo
i dont even play celeste, but MAN is this good.
play celeste
I can feel it when I wear headphones.
The way it moves back and forth, like through my head. Kinda the same way Madeline and Badeline moves in this chapter, after a while one washes out the other, and begins to overwhelm the other.
*Kinda makes you think about what this game really is huh?*
Ugh! That crazy distortion on the drumkit. So good.
finally got to experience this scene today. been wanting to play this game for a while and when i did, i couldnât wait for this scene
Saniye iyice sardı Celeste'ye
vardır saniyenin bir bildiÄi.
Near the end of this song when the drums come in, the drums are just so loud it makes drowns out and chokes the other parts of the song
THIS IS THE SONG
I WASN'T EVEN SEARCHING FOR IT AND I JUST FOUND IT
congrats my guy canât believe he land that mlg water even now
@@ns.5699 shut up
@N S. pretty disappointed that literally everyone associates this song with some generic minecraft youtubers instead of actual Celeste
