Unpopular opinion: i was quite disappointed that i had to go on a murderous rampage after that stunning intro. Could've spent hours just wandering around Columbia without firing a single shot
I honestly thought I was the only one. Seriously.
I was alone and was saying "NOOOOOOOOOOO COME ON NOOO........" out loud 😂
I was pissed as hell when Booker whipped out his gun.
Wurzn Sepp i agree so much with you
That's why I liked how they sprinkled some non combat areas throughout but it would've been nice to have more, like BaS ep1
Me too! This whole opening sequence completely blew me away.
Same, but then racism happened. couldn't abide it.
this is even better than the official version because it has the cathedral effect :p
Aint this version in the game ? Im pretty sure i heard it
OneHitWarrior1 yeah it is, but the official version doesn’t have the cathedral effect on the soundtrack album
@@jesuscanplayguitar1214
I don’t find the soundtrack album, on Spotify, with this song 😢
The reverb is godly.
@@bloomlfhey you actually can listen to it with CZcams music!
The bioshock infinite opening better be what heavens likes.
Yeah, I think this is only 2% from real Heaven
“Or as close as we’ll see till Judgement Day”
Don't wish for what only might be; the 'dream' should be heaven on earth!
A city of genocidal maniacs who want to murder all non-whites, and impose Handmaid’s Tale-style Christiofascism on everyone left?
No thank you…
@@RSAnimism We won't get heaven on earth, just look at the world. What is being done to children, the division but the most surprising thing how easily it is to shape the opinion of people, everyone is in a state of tribalism and it's only going to get worse.
John 3 16-17
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
If you do not know Jesus Christ by the time you die, you'll wish you could take it all back for a second chance. Jesus Christ had to take the cross for our sin because without Him, nobody would be with God after judgement. For those who doubt the existence of God, I'd pray and ask to be shown the truth in sincerity. So many people will be crying and losing their minds as they await judgement, it's so sad but it's not like you were never warned, you just were too wrapped up in life to care but that will change one day.
“What’s he listening to?”
“Probably heavy metal or death rock.”
Actually me at the gym recently lol
Will the circle be unbroken (choir version)
At this part in the game, I just stood in the entrance listening to this. Bioshock Infinite is the reason why I always love to point out when a game has an amazing soundtrack and score.
Ma
We all did.
Totally agree to you, even Far Cry 5 has one of the most melodious soundtracks.
It took me like 20 minutes to leave the opening area with this music.
Da fuq🤯😤😈
I honestly wish I could erase this game from my mind and replay it again.
This game and it’s soundtrack hold a special place in my heart.
Same!
It's been a while and I'm luckily pretty forgetful haha.
same. before my life went to shit, this was the last game I remember playing...
I love all Bioshock games equally, but Infinite is hands down easily my favorite game ever made, right next to Red Dead Redemption 2 and Last of Us. Games that leave me feeling empty and conflicted after the end are masterpiece's in my eyes
Just started playing this game again yesterday . This game for sure is special. One of, if not, my favourite game ever
The first time I played this and I saw this intro with the choir, the candles, and the water filled procession I just stopped and sat in awe taking it in. One of the most memorable and beautiful intros to a game I've ever seen.
Me to
2K has announced that the newly-formed studio named Cloud Chamber will continue the Bioshock series
There is no kent levine anymore😥
@@frz8037 I just wonder how they'll be able to improve upon it because the last time levine is not the director was Bioshock 2 and in terms of the story it.. well, compared to its prequel, didn't hold up that much but of course, its above average. And in my opinion, Bioshock 2 never had any BIG impact/reveal that hits the player as its rather mediocre to say the least.
@@HackerArmy03 I thought bioshock 2 was great! They were all great!
The water casually flowing down the stairs, light reflecting off onto walls... this place is so peaceful
until it wasnt💀💀
Had to be slippery though, I wouldn't walk down those stairs if they were real :p
RTX is definitely on
Why would he send his savior unto us,
if we will not raise a finger for our own salvation?
And though we deserve not his mercy,
he has led us to this new Eden,
a last chance for redemption.
And the prophet shall lead the people to the new Eden.
*Does anyone else feel like the burdens of life are lifted off your shoulders listening to this?*
This part of the game, man.... Very few games nowadays have touching or mesmerizing moments like this. And it was just the freakin' beginning!!! I was one of those that had to stop just to listen to the music... Something I didn't have done in gaming since the PS1 days.
Kinda crazy to think (as the entire game, actually) that it fits so well and makes a lot of sense if we consider the plot and the ending...
This part of the game was mesmerizing.
my 17 year old beloved cat has just passed away. I buried him in the garden. When I started shoveling the earth, suddenly I heard music that I couldn't locate. it sounded just like this scene from my all-time favorite game. the best experience in my life, knowing that he was taken to heaven. Rest in peace darling 12.8.21
I’m so sorry for your loss 😢💔 it’s a beautiful song
He's decomposing in the dirt. There's no such thing as heaven nor hell. Grow up

I'm truly sorry to hear about your loss. I've experienced something similar when my sister Angela passed away when I was in primary school. I understand the pain of losing a beloved pet. Sending you my deepest condolences.

This song has been in my head everyday since playing (and beating) the Complete Edition on the Switch. Late to the party, but I absolutely loved this game 👏🏽
was this your First time ever playing it ?
So happy they used the actual hymn lyrics for this, amazingly well sang and beautiful song.
They didn't, this is a custom version of the song. Look up the lyrics, this one is actually better. Only thing they kept was;
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
Is a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?
But they removed the, Lord, part out of it. Every other lyric is customed for the game.
@@mikewil7571 Lord wasn't in the original lyrics. That's from the Carter Family song of a different name.
@@mikewil7571 What did they change?
@@amoryblaine3292 (from Wikipedia): "A reworked version of the song, intended as a funeral hymn, was written by A. P. Carter and released in 1935 by the Carter Family. The Carter version, titled "Can the Circle be Unbroken", uses the same music and the same verse structure but with different verse lyrics and a modified chorus. That version has often been recorded as "Will the Circle be Unbroken", including the 1972 performance by Mother Maybelle Carter and ensemble on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band album of the same title."
@@mikewil7571 This is the original (hymn book 1908):
"There are loved ones in the glory
Whose dear forms you often miss.
When you close your earthly story,
Will you join them in their bliss?
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
Is a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?
In the joyous days of childhood
Oft they told of wondrous love
Pointed to the dying Saviour;
Now they dwell with Him above.
You remember songs of heaven
Which you sang with childish voice.
Do you love the hymns they taught you,
Or are songs of earth your choice?
You can picture happy gath'rings
Round the fireside long ago,
And you think of tearful partings
When they left you here below.
One by one their seats were emptied.
One by one they went away.
Now the family is parted.
Will it be complete one day?"
Carter Family "CAN the circle by Unbroken" (1935): (Note, different title to their Song)
I was standing by the window
On one cold and cloudy day
And I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
Can the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Lord, I told the undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go
Can the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Oh, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
Can the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I went back home, Lord, my home was lonesome
Since my mother, she was gone
All my brothers and sisters crying
What a home so sad and alone
Can the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
We sang songs of childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones that mother Maybelle taught us
Hear the angels sing along
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
The carter family took the melody and most of the chorus, and changed everything else.
Say what you will about the game as a whole, but the beginning of this game was absolutely fantastic. The spectacle of the intro and the first mission is one of the best I've seen in any game
To this day this is my favourite game ever. Every detail, every story beat, every song, every parallel, was fucking masterful. We were absolutely blessed to get gifted this. Fucking transcendent shit, I’ve returned to it so many times over the years and always found something new to appreciate. It’s all summed up in this moment; a man, fresh from the lighthouse, arriving in a city, trying to break the circle that’s already in motion. This was art man.
lo dijiste todo hermano, lo dijiste todo
I agree with you dude! It is a true lightning in the bottle!
The beauty of this moment cannot be described in words.
And not to mention when you get to the deeper meaning of the choice of this very Song when you're at the End of the Game.
Never has my mind been blown more.
Ken Levine, you're a EFFIN GENIUS!!!
The attention to detail in bioshock infinite is astounding - literally everything that happens in the game is there for a reason, even though first time round it messed with your head the second you see it all so much more clearly.
I was thinking the same with the irony here!
I love reading these comments, Bioshock is one of my favorite game series and I CANNOT wait for the new one and the netflix movie. It makes me happy to see other people enjoy the game as much as I do and appreciate the game for more than just the gameplay.
This game is still my go-to example for games as art. No show, movie, portrait could relay this story the way they did.
Brings me great joy to see someone say something I’ve never spoken but always believed. Amen brother
Well, I felt like this music and choir was helping gamers remember what they have manifested throughout their gaming years, knowing how much they achieved. I felt the great gaming holiness when I heard this.
I love the contrast between Infinjte and the previous two games. Your introduction to Rapture in the first game told you something was clearly wrong from the start with its dramatic orchestration. Infinite on the other hand has this really calming atmosphere to its opening, but there’s just something that feels… off about it, as if you feel like something isn’t right.
I used to turn voice/sound effect volumes off as I walked through this level.
This and the First Lady Memorial levels!
I stayed like half an hour in this damn cathedral
Standing in the opening section with a decent pair of headphones and just...
Wishing that track loops. I usually hate track loops in video games but I absolutely would adore if that track looped.
I replayed this game very recently, and i was stunned at how beautiful this intro was. I feel like it was almost blocked out of my head at how tranquil it was back in the day.
same bro same
This is one of the game that I've replayed only 3 times in my whole life. It's not because I got bored, it's because I don't want my memory to start to remember the specifics and spoil the whole mood. I kinda hate the fact that I am still remember who Elizabeth is. I really wish I could erase my memory and just think that Elizabeth is just a girl that I need to bring and wipe away the debt.
I feel this completely, I'll never forget her, and another game will never recreate such a masterpiece
Idk nothing about this game but oh man listening to this song drunk made me remember things from my childhood that I thought I forgot.
While I didn't enjoy bioshock infinite, this is one of the most stunning introductions to a video game.
Didn't expect to see a Reimu fumo here
Didn't enjoy it?! HERETIC! BURN!
The first hour or so of this is the best part. Absolutely nailed that opening
Years have passed and I still love to delight te moment spending in this game finishing it about 15th time. I could just call it undoubtedly a masterpiece!
Everytime I replay Bioshock Infinite I always find myself just wandering around for a solid 15 minutes at this part
Love this I struggle to love games now as they very seldom have a moments like this, I was mesmerised and stood doing nothing but look at this beautiful place and beautiful score, all the bioshock games have a special place with me ill always love everything about them all, probably the best series of games to be made
Reminds me of my parents, who are sadly no longer with us. Thanks for posting.
It's funny how everyone's talking about Bioshock but don't think about what the song is actually saying. This song came out in 1907. It talks about death and heaven.
It makes sense that it's in Bioshock infinite (I loved the game btw, excellent storyline) because its set in 1912 and talks of Booker's conversion and then creating a place that tries to resemble heaven. Even though those were not his real intentions. There were several remakes of the song but in Bioshock, it plays the original.
Basically, it talks about loved ones passing away saying that the immediate family circle here on earth has been broken but will it be complete in heaven?
It's not asking whether heaven exists but rather acknowledges that it does and will we join our loved ones in heaven? In parts of the song, it says "Do you love the hymns they taught you,
Or are songs of earth your choice?"..."Here the circle has been broken-
Will it be complete one day?"
Probably hints do we love God more or the things this world and that based on our choices will we be reunited with our loved ones in heaven after we die. Because obviously, we all will die.
I just thought it was an interesting song when I read the lyrics. Here's the lyrics btw:
There are loved ones in the glory,
Whose dear forms you often miss;
When you close your earthly story,
Will you join them in their bliss?
Refrain (Chorus):
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?-
In a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky.
In the joyous days of childhood,
Oft they told of wondrous love,
Pointed to the dying Savior;
Now they dwell with Him above.
You remember songs of heaven
Which you sang with childish voice,
Do you love the hymns they taught you,
Or are songs of earth your choice?
You can picture happy gath’rings
’Round the fireside long ago,
And you think of tearful partings,
When they left you here below.
One by one their seats were emptied,
One by one they went away;
Here the circle has been broken-
Will it be complete one day?

He doesn’t ROW?
@@keeemdarrel no, he DOESN'T row
@@RebirthOfJackahh, I see what you mean
This is soooooo incredibly beautiful!! :') I wish I could download it....but I can't find this exact version :'((
Catherin Moon google CZcams to Mp3 and you can download the audio of this video
Thank you! It worked! ^.^
Catherin Moon play the game then ur allowed to download don’t play around with this ART game
This song gives me strength and peace. My favorite rendition
I loved this part of the game, I too just explored Colombia. I feel kinda bad looting everyone's offerings in this part, but it extended my time here which I loved. So peaceful, I wish this video showed him walking through the water
I don't know nothing about a game. I heard this song and looked it up. Then found this... I find this version to be so angelic and haunting, but in a most beautifully way! 👏 🥰

I can still remember the first time I walked into this scene when the game released and what I was doing then.....such an amazing game, I hung around here for a few minutes just to enjoy the beauty before I got baptized.
I'm not even in the Jesus fandom and this rendition of the song touches me
“Heaven, or as close as we’ll get until judgement day”
Gardimuer,
Thank you so very much for sharing and making this upload available! I had been able to find all of the other songs, except this one. I take that back. I COULD find this one, but the quality of your upload is far, Far, FAR superior to the other ones available. This song, when taken out of context, it is a great song to play in aiding the little ones off to sleep! The wife and I just pipe it into the house-wide sound system via the laptop, put it on "repeat 5" and they are usually asleep before the song ends for the first time!
Again, many thanks friend!
Killian
This is truly beautiful.
If this would be the last thing I hear in my life then it is worth waiting for.
BioShock is legitimately genius work.
Thank you very much for this! truly a beautiful game
This is my favorite single player story drven game of all time. I have tattoos including AD on my right hand. This opening and music rip at my heart and now at 40 years old, make me think of friends and family ive lost and the few times i almost gave up on my own life. But got to be real and honest. EVERY single time i first see the water running down the stairs, i think, That is a slip hazard and a half! This place gunna get sued. For real tho this game is etched into my heart and is simply art and poetry in terms of storytelling imo.
Thank you for taking the time to upload these wonderful songs :)
Is it me or does anybody else get a warm tingly feeling to this song
This part & song are an absolute dream
Is it me or is this the most beautiful song we ever heard this song makes me wanna cry tears of joy the Lord is our savior we are all brothers and sisters in God's name no matter what color we are God made us for a reason
Kiani Rainey yep :)))))))
Amen brother.....when I heard this I remembered the hymn
Yes exactly
Please forgive us for our sins
AMEN! Lord Jesus himself would shed a tear listening to this! ❤️
This game was the second game I’ve ever played all the way through. The storyline was the best ive ever played and the way everything is explained makes what should be complex, simple and I think end actually changed me as a person. 10/10 wish I could forget it to play it again fresh
I cant in undertand why this makes me cry but it does
Those were the best days of games and gaming
This will forever be the best music in video game history
This will be the song that rings in my head the moment love ever comes back to me
x2
I've heard this one my first playthrough and it made me almost hypnostized by the melody alone. I really thought I died in the intro and literally went to heaven! Wish there a route where you didn't have to kill anyone... Proving that even false Shepherds can bring in peace and forgiveness.
Bioshock was ahead of his time in every single way .
me in the cologne cathedral.
Wenn sie solche Musik im Kölner Dom spielen, dann wäre ich öfter dort 👍🏻
@@nerdenheimer4506 ich auch.
Döm
What a Beautiful song. I Really Love it. Thanks !
i stayed there until the song finished. i did that with god only knows, as well. its amazing you can just stand there and take it in.
10 years since the release of the game, the intro was the most memorable part of the game to me, almost converted me to Christianity
Too bad your still a heathen
I hate to be that person, but they don’t make shit like this anymore! These games are lil gems
Games these days are just for money
@@Artikz_ idk I heard that The Last of Us 1 was really good and it is on my list to play. I also heard great Things about Life is Strange 1. Sadly most modern games are emphasizing Multiplayer instead of just being story based. I just want a good single player or even split screen Story rich game
The time is ready for remastering of all the BioShock games.
It's already been done
We dont have memorable games like these anymore. Arena and monetization, and live service games have taken over the industry. The golden age of gaming was incredible 😍
Just played through this game, worth every penny.
Even 10 years later after playing Infinity on christmas eve the song comes every christmas time over and over back in to my head ❤
It`s such an emotional catching game with so many love in detail. Thank you for the experience.
I'm not religious in the slightest but this is so beautiful and never fails to give me some strong feelings.
Just like Christmas song... The intro so good.
Pretty sure the original is meant to be a Christmas carol or it was first sung around Christmas time roughly in 1920s I think. Surprisingly there wasn’t much on this hymn. Sorry if I’m late lol
@@progamingbrosyo5068 thank you for the info. Still in love with this song.
@@williamjohn4514 YES lol your welcome
I'm listening to this as I wait for bioshock 4.... So sad
What I HOPED would be the portrayal of Heaven in Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel
I love this, it’s so relaxing
I wish I could play this game again for the first time
Feels like something you would hear in Farcry 5
Rest In Peace Franklin
J'en ai plus rien à fichtre aujourd'hui , je suis un infiltré.. j'ai vécu BioShock ❤. Vous me déchiré le cœur ❤️🩹
В том моменте в игре, я остановился там на пол часа и слушал её....
Ты не один так поступил. Ты просто раньше нас написал этот комментарий 😂
Bioshock is a thought and spiritual movement imho. i hope the next is the same
I listened to this as my brother was playing the game and just wanted to start crying. This version is so beautiful.
2019🖐️
I can’t understand why everyone hates this game! After playing the game and understanding the deeper meanings to the whole game and listening to the music and sound tracks I can definitely say that this game impacted me the most in a little while. A master piece.
I don't think everyone hates this game
@@elysiumstation a lot of people do though especially because it has its own separate timeline and location.
Look up..."the bioshock we never got"...you will see why somepeople didn't really like this game...but if you ask me it has to be the best single player game I ever played handsdown
@@debusinha9015 I enjoyed this bioshock game a lot can’t compared to others
I played BioShock 1 first but I still think Infinite was the best game ever. Sure it's different, very different. But it's also very well executed and I wouldn't have it any other way.
"2018"
música maravilhosa!
duvido alguem nao parou para ouvir essa música nesse início do jogo.
harmonia e letra da musica perfeita.
excelente jogo....
10/10
amazing!!
One of the best intros ever created for a game
Thanks for the upload. It won't let me screen record and under the official OST it doesn't have the same ring or sound to the piece in the game. This was touching and generous. Much appreciated :)
i hope if i die god will send my soul to this place ( this city in a first game opening )
just replayed it. now im sad
@@jollygamerguy this comment when i play this game in few hours . and now im finish it and listen again . it's make me sad like my soul in a cage as hell :(
When I heard this at first, I was like there is no way this is an action game. I mean it was so peaceful. The soundtracks of this series is just phenomenal.
When has religion in media ever been portrayed as implying anything else than bad things?
Gospel music is really wonderful.
I’m not gonna lie, this would’ve been right at home in far cry 5 during any interaction with the Seed family.
The intro was stunning and I loved every bit of Columbia, then the raffle happened and I went ham on the security guards
Back again to comment as I just can't forget this , now and then it pops into my mind , sometimes drunk .... like right now . And somehow it hits different
Heaven, friend. Or as close as we'll see 'til judgement day.
Just for those who do not know. The lyrics are heavily edited from the original to fit around the game, rather then Christianity itself.
It doesn't sound changed at all, what are you referring to?
@@amoryblaine3292 Yeah, the only change is the 'removal' of the word 'Lord' but that was not in the original which would be be contemporary for the Bioshock setting.
When I see the pearly gates I better get a Columbia style welcoming or I’m gonna be pissed 😂
I love how I was spoiled on everything else in the game, and not this.
I'm confused. Is this a game or heaven lol. The singer is an angel in disguise
It's a game... it's heaven...
No... it's BOTH...
Columbia was a wonderful place.
Why can't I stop listening to this
