Be thankful, you're one of the few that became aware of this masterpiece. Not everyone will have the opportunity to feel what you're feeling right now, listening to this
I'm constantly worried about the feeling that I'm missing something, but I have everything I wanted, and this music makes me feel that feeling even more
All of what you posses will never satisfy you, only but mere moments. Your soul is yearning for something bigger, from what I'm reading. And when you find that which is missing, you'll stop worrying. Go and find Him He's waiting for you, and when you find Him give testimony of Him, only He can fill in that void that your heart is yearning for......
For me, it's comforting, like it's a deep dark pit and it's horrible and I want to escape, but the grip of darkness around me is oddly comforting. Like a second empty soul left adrift in a cruel world, one that makes me feel less alone.

The Silent Hill fog brings me a strange confort sensation, as if you were lock in your own thoughts, having no hope to escape, but inside, you don't really want to. The loneliness is the safest place you can ever reach, and as the mind is the world itself, you feel like the fog will embrace you harmly in the dark of your nightmares for the rest of your existence.
This is the single saddest piece of music I have ever heard. Every time I listen, I think of the day that I held my dog in my arms as she was put to sleep. I love you, Lady. I miss you.
Glad I finally got into the silent hill games. But nothing will ever be as life changing and thought provoking than 2. it changed my life and how I handle topics like loss.
The Day Of Night conveys so much peace and pain to me simultaneously, like the idea of being dead. Quiet, darkness, solitude. A separate world. Waves rolling endlessly over the shore, the land covered in fog. The void before creation and after death. I listen to this song on loop throughout every day.
You are spot on. So many philosophical questions that wanders around your brain while listening to this. Just evokes so many emotions and feelings. That foggy atmosphere in Silent Hill just oozes through this soundtrack.
But when you realized that your soul was trapped in silent hill until you're a goner. You woke up in reality and your body is dead This is from silent hill 1 bad ending
There is only one reason. The game precisely duplicates the archetypes of thinking that we all share and manifest them in the same sequence that each individual experiences each time ecountering the irrational inside and outside. My guess.
Past memories can't be relived, but there's always the opportunity to make more good memories. I struggle with this myself and am often stuck in the past, so maybe I'm not the best person to say this on an old comment, but hopefully you're still here and still breathing. I hope things get better for you.
I used to play this during lunch breaks in college, since my college was right next to a river it was always foggy during the winter , I would put this on sit and smoke at the waters edge. It would be so still and the only sound aside from the embers in my cigarette crackling would be a very gentle breeze and the occasional strangers foot steps cautiously ambling by as it was so thick you could see 10 feet in front of you hence why it was so quiet , even high beams couldn't penetrate the fog , I still go down there on cold winter mornings with a hot coffee and a cigarette in my old 63 year old trench coat just to relive a favourite pastime from what seems like ages ago when it was only about 10 or so , such a beautiful game
This song makes me think of being lost in nostalgia, unable to move forward. The longing to return to something that can never be. The memories turn into an all-consuming fog that drown out all escape, but you don't really want to leave anyways. Small chimes of fondness, and beauty that pierce through a constant melancholic haze. Their brevity deepens the sorrow, all you can do is just lay there in the gray nothingness, unable to bring yourself to keep going. You just want to stay there. Embracing the sorrow, desperately clinging to it like a lost and frightened child in the depths of a bitter and cold fog that welcomes you.
This music makes me feel as if the whole world is slowly opening itself and I’m being swallowed up in the black void inside the planet, slowly drifting trying to find an end
Сайлен Хилл 2 появился в моей жизни когда я 16 летний подросток сидел в одиночестве дома после смерти отца и играл ночами в этот шедевр. Тогда я мало что понимал в символизме, но игра точно ударила в самое сердце. Боль потери и пустота стали очень острыми. Вновь и вновь я возвращался к музыке из игры, понимая что она теперь навсегда во мне. Ностальгия по детству, первый поцелуй, безответная любовь и одинокие прогулки холодным осенним утром...все это навсегда будет со мной. Частью меня. Сейчас сидя в пустой квартире после тяжёлого расставания пора вписать ещё один эпизод в книгу жизни. Больно отпускать того кто тебя любит всем сердцем, но так лучше. Она достойна счастья и пусть у нее все будет хорошо.
For me, this is the theme of my autism, reminding me there's no escape from my inherit eccentricity, and people being wrong about me, because of it and their misunderstanding.
@@808lukas1 Autism isn't an illness, it's a permanent disability in the brain you're born with. Many autists can be healthy on the mental scale, if that's what you were referring to.
@@mr.tomasiorubinshtein if I’m not mistaken, autism is only diagnosed and discovered through observation of social behavior. And then comparing said social behavior to what is considered “normal”. Of course it could be argued that not possessing normal social behavior makes it difficult to function in society. I agree with that. I don’t agree with defining it as a disability and I don’t agree with the huge emphasis placed on dissecting and labeling behavior as inherently negative, the huge emphasis that commonly exists in western viewpoints of mental illness.
@@setsers1 This may give him such a bunch of emotions by just listening to it. Akira Yamaoka created masterpieces and people identify with what this makes them feel, I understand it may not be the best for you, but also you have to understand that tis music is so... Beautiful
To compose something like this, to capture a feeling as well as this song does, it's just incredible talent man. I have so much respect for this man, his music is simple yet amazingly powerful and full of emotions. It's not easy at all to capture feelings with songs, especially nostalgia.
This is not a song , a melody or even a sound. This is what I feel inside my head. Merged with darkness, fear , sadness , loss , break, loneliness, pain, agony, but maybe ... Maybe . Or no no no. Surely it represents how I always wanted to live with her. How I always pictured our lives together , how it would be just enough for me to sleep in her lap to be cured. To forget . What it feels like to live again. Remade. I wish it was better , I wish it ended better. We weren't anything but I wanted it to be everything . This is hard when you love someone with all what you got and it just doesn't work out. You feel dead. Finished. Nothing to live for. If u ask me . This is very very very perfect for a 3 hours drive in a cold Jan. night .
@@WaveyDavey645 your comment is inaccurate , if u view this as a song you really never understood the story or felt it at all. this is a feeling , i had it on loop each night and every second was passing it was killing me, know your words before talking dude because you are in the wrong here
You're not alone in this world. There is still a life to live even if it continues to open scars in our hearts and rip our souls. We just need to keep looking forward.
In the time of my death, when life flashes before my eyes. The memories of all nighters with my big brother when I was a teenager playing silent hill 2 all night will pass by. Like it did while I was alive.
I really can't quite put into words how this track makes me feel. All my life, I've tussled between the everyday humdrum of living in society and a deep pensive sadness that permeates my being in the times where I'm alone with my thoughts. But this music.... It's serene, yet ultimately tragic. The fog reminds, that it comforts and envelopes all without discrimination. Your pain, love, happiness, sadness. All emotions melt and flow into the endless unknown. You may look back, and think with a heavy heart "is this all life had to offer? Is it really full of so much feeling, just for it to mean nothing?" It's okay to be sad. It'll be okay.
@@Swam0811they won’t be able to replicate it because silent hill 2’s vibe is heavily reliant on the graphical limitations of the time which is what makes it so special. maybe it can be different from the original in its own way but i doubt there ever be a perfect remake that truly encapsulates the feeling of the original. hope i get proved wrong tho.
Its funny how the people who hasn't played the game react to this ost The ones who did remember it very differently and sometimes just want to hide behind the closet
This song's been helping me enjoy my solitude these past weeks. I've always had a hard time being alone, I would look for dates, a relationship or even a fwb to make me feel good about myself. However, 2023 taught me many lessons and Silent Hill was there for me when it happened. The only person who will provide me real love and support is me.
There’s a VRChat map of the entire Silent Hill 2 game. Running around it with friends is a blast, but when you do it alone, the feels are just so much different and it made me a little sad.
for me this music is not sad, just... nostalgic. It reminds me of all the time i spent with my friends, family, the people i loved... really a masterpiece of a song.
The music reminds me of all the evil human beings have to offer, but also the bittersweet fact that we happen to exist, and that life has given us freedom to embrace love in our own vast formulated prisons of hopelessness. A star within the distance of darkness that we will never reach, but dream to, progressing, still in yearning as we stand against a red sea.
This song speaks to me. Like a melody of my past, of my current. It represents the nostalgia and loneliness yet acceptance I experience each coming day
It's hard to articulate just how much this song resonates with me, it's the happiest *and* saddest song I've ever heard, a perfect yin-yang of tone and theming, the droning melancholic waves that start out alone and empty but have a sense of hope in them, it goes up and down much like human emotion the little higher-pitched waves that creep in away from the main tune that feel more otherworldly and almost out of place, just loud enough to be perceptible, just quiet enough to be out of reach so to speak not to mention the little twinkling sounds that almost sound like wind-chimes, that permeate a sense of nostalgia or even peace in the face of the overwhelming waves, because they're always passing and always sparse but they're so pleasant, like the stars at night or the pleasant memories that we can think of and smile over It's just so perfect, and maybe I'm reading too much into it, although maybe not considering the source material
Too afraid of death to cut it short, too tired to be able to turn things around, i feel aimless, i know ill never stop trying, but just telling myself that fills me with existential dread, where am i going to end up like this?
please never give up. don't forget to sleep and eat well, do physical activity like dancing on your own or walking, maybe a therapist is required. you are not alone here in the dark
This song brings a vision to me.. a vision of being alone in the dark... and if you listen carefully, let your self fall deeply... those who are important, real and true will appear.
As above, so below. The human being finds himself, or herself, in the middle. There is as much space outside the human, proportionately, as inside. Stars, moons, and planets remind us of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Is there a bigger being walking with all the stars within? Does our thinking affect what goes on outside us, and what goes on inside us? I think it does. Where does creamed corn figure into the workings of the universe? What really is creamed corn? Is it a symbol for something else?
I don’t know why but this song just makes me feel like I’m 10 years old again, living in that moment in the late 90s when things were so so different. I feel so nostalgic for my past but almost like it never actually happened… weird how certain music can make you feel so strange.
Somehow I always end up on this video. I can’t even count the times I’ve actually finished listening to it and how many things I thought. Returning at home in the morning with this banging in your earpieces it’s an experience on another level. I’ve always desired to feel nostalgic of a thing I had in the past, but is this what I really want now? I don’t know. And I don’t want to find it out. I’m messing myself up, I can’t even understand what it’s happening right now in my life, I’m forgetting how to stay around people. It’s frustrating. I just want school to end, summer felt better than the others. I just want to be me again and don’t stay around those fcking teachers and those classmates. I’m having lesser sleep everyday, I can’t go to sleep because of my anxiety, I don’t want tomorrow to be another day. I just want that today’s night could last forever and have fun with my friends.
@@GTFOJAVA honestly? i didn’t even remember writing this comment. Everything has actually changed! Even if i still have some problems with myself, i’m trying to change, and i’m receiving some help. i don’t care anymore about school, if there’s something i’m gonna miss when i’ll grew older is all the experiences i had with my friends. Time flies away and i need to get back on track and start to make treasure of it. but thanks for the kind words
This is the best silent hill song and perfectly captures the atmosphere. Also this is kinda relevant but not to the game I always had a crush on Radha Mitchell in the movie. She was so friggin cute. I was always hoping I would find someone in my life that looked like her.
...this song takes me back to a time where the world was still fresh to me, a time where I didn't know this thing about who, a time where I didn't know my family were bad people, a time where I enjoyed myself because all I did all day long was play video games, and honestly I can't say whether that was a good thing or a bad thing...just that it's here and it's nostalgic hearing this song's wonderful melody again since I had left it to brimstone all those nights ago.
Being an angsty teen, waking up at 3 in the morning, staring at the ceiling in the dark with this song playing unable to get back to sleep for 10-20 minutes. Thinking of everything, and now in hindsight realizing how incredible that moment really felt. Like being completely cozy in the dead of winter.
I remember playing silent hill 2 for the first time, ofc I was terrified to play it cuz I thought it was just another horror game but man it really hits much later on in the game. It becomes more of a game that makes you question everything but it still keeps the horror element, I wish we could get another silent hill as great as this one.
I’m 22 now.. games like this and silent hill 3 oddly influenced my personality.. and yet, I am not a nihilist, but a pragmatic idealist. I feel bad for the generation that was born after me and the many to come after them.. I feel as though everything is gone and astroturfed to oblivion - and I got the best of everything right before it was snatched away.. and now I apply my mentality to my ambition, and it works..I just have to keep it up. Soon I will have the resources I need ..
This proves how critical the score is to the whole Silent Hill experience and how Silent Hill wouldn't be what it is without Yamaoka's great work. It moves people even without being familiar with the story, cutscenes, details, backstory, etc...
Man. I’ve always struggled with depression. What I want... It’s always just been out of reach. I have always been waiting for my moment to prove everybody wrong. I failed in football, I wasn’t meant for college. My dream job was to be a police officer in the same department my family is, where all of my heroes and people I looked up to work. I made it through the academy. I had fun for weeks, then I hit a wall. I wasn’t figuring it out. I didn’t make it. Now my life has literally been in limbo. I’m losing track of time, I am not retaining any knowledge, I cannot sleep, I have bloated nearly 70 pounds and I have just felt bored at all times. I have no path forward and I don’t know where to go or what to do. My girlfriend has lost interest, my friends have moved on. I have been stagnated. Life’s plan fell apart. I was optimistic for years because I nearly made it to the dream... just to fail at the finish line. Sorry for telling my story in fuckin CZcams comments I’m just looking for a sign.
Get in touch with the earth you were put on. It works for so many people. Nothing like the beauty of the world around you when the people around you have blurred you of it’s true beauty. It’s better than rotting inside your room.
i can describe this song as an uneasy peace like an abandoned city or village a dead planet, full of dried up oceans and rivers the vacuum of space, far away from any space stations or even stars and planets these are all peaceful locations, but definitely not without some horrible implications. an abandoned city, where people left in a hurry from some greater threat. an entire planet, void of any life that once did exist there, as if an entire species was wiped out. and, being in the vacuum of space, staring into the abyss constantly, knowing full well that anything that can possibly see you is millions of lightyears away
Themes like this, not to mention 'White Noiz', 'A World of Madness', 'Heaven's Night' and so on, marked a terribly dark page of my life not so long ago. Everything seemed to me full of rust, corrosion, patina and crust over a background of decadence. Slowly and painfully I barely got over it, but every day has enough hours in it for me to fall in that state of utmost bitterness. May this music not turn into the soundtrack of my life.
holy shit this is so deep and profound. you said it perfectly, this is exactly how I felt about this song too without realizing it. I hope you feel better if you're going through tough times. I wish you all the best!
Sounds like traveling through a freezing cold, foggy, misty forest of giant mushrooms, unable to see too far ahead you. Whatever light there is in the sky just barely there as if just an hour after first light, not to be too noticed due to the thick fog. Everything just a desaturated color except the little bright twinkles of magical glow of all bright colors floating around and among the still low cut grass and mushrooms

Bless you. I’m having a panic attack outside in the rain tonight and I needed exactly this song, but looping for a long time. I feel better now. You helped me out. 👊
This song embodies the feeling of drifting through space, a ragdoll to gravity slowly becoming more and more lost with every passing star, unable to do anything but accept your oncoming death, you start hoping for it, becoming bored inside your thoughts.
Right now as I am listening to this song it's gray, cloudy and snowing a bit outside where I live currently in Ashland, Oregon. Which is rather appropriate weather for this music now that I stop and think about it!
i have no words to describe this song makes me feel. Is a kind of trance and pleasure, both. Makes me sleep aswell. I will keep it in my soul for whole life.
Keep coming back to these extended mixes for late night studying, thinking or sleeping, and I've driven through my old home town on a foggy winter afternoon, was pretty serene. Thanks!
imagine just playing this song whilst in the car when its night time sitting at the streetlights and its raining but its that misty kinda rain with a slight bit of fog there as well. Just imagine those sounds together.
This is the music I think of when I am in a Silent Hill mood, when I look at liminal space images... or even if when I feel like I am walking in a liminal space myself. The droning echoes, the shaky violin and the bells all make it all chilling. It is haunting, it is somber, it is beautiful and it seems to capture the emotional tone of Silent Hill 2's theme amazingly.
This song has alway been important to me. its stopped me killing myself so many times and this extended version is keeping me alive as I write this. Thank you Crustacean, you are a saint. god bless.
I can't believe just how much I've changed over the years.. I would play nearly every ost of Silent Hill 2 before bed as I start to cry and think about nothing but wanting to be with someone who'd love me just as much as I would. And I finally met that special person. It's been nearly 3 years since I last heard this ost.. boy does it bring back painful memories. But still this game was like a drug to me, I'd feel high nearly every time I played Silent Hill 2 specifically. It's one game I'll always remember, I love this game. I am grateful that the sound tracks from silent Hill 2 were able to numb my pain back then in high school. 💔~💓~~💗~~~💘~ (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

It would be so still and the only sound aside from the embers in my cigarette crackling would be a very gentle breeze and the occasional strangers foot steps cautiously ambling by as it was so thick you could see 10 feet in front of you hence why it was so quiet , even high beams couldn't penetrate the fog , I still go down there on cold winter mornings with a hot coffee and a cigarette in my old 63 year old trench coat just to relive a favourite pastime from what seems like ages ago when it was only about 10 or so , such a beautiful game
This song makes me cry at the thought that gamers all the way back in 2001 wouldn’t be prepared for the franchises dark future.
This song makes me think of being lost in nostalgia, unable to move forward. The longing to return to something that can never be. The memories turn into an all-consuming fog that drown out all escape, but you don't really want to leave anyways. Small chimes of fondness, and beauty that pierce through a constant melancholic haze. Their brevity deepens the sorrow, all you can do is just lay there in the gray nothingness, unable to bring yourself to keep going. You just want to stay there. Embracing the sorrow, desperately clinging to it like a lost and frightened child in the depths of a bitter and cold fog that welcomes you.
Every hour. Every day.
Walk through the fog gate
Wow :o
this is one of the few comments to make me have a physical jerk of sadness overwhelm me.
This music makes me feel as if the whole world is slowly opening itself and I’m being swallowed up in the black void inside the planet, slowly drifting trying to find an end
Сайлен Хилл 2 появился в моей жизни когда я 16 летний подросток сидел в одиночестве дома после смерти отца и играл ночами в этот шедевр. Тогда я мало что понимал в символизме, но игра точно ударила в самое сердце. Боль потери и пустота стали очень острыми. Вновь и вновь я возвращался к музыке из игры, понимая что она теперь навсегда во мне. Ностальгия по детству, первый поцелуй, безответная любовь и одинокие прогулки холодным осенним утром...все это навсегда будет со мной. Частью меня. Сейчас сидя в пустой квартире после тяжёлого расставания пора вписать ещё один эпизод в книгу жизни. Больно отпускать того кто тебя любит всем сердцем, но так лучше. Она достойна счастья и пусть у нее все будет хорошо.
надеюсь, скоро ты будешь счастлив 🥹
@@elina1421 спасибо большое! И тебе счастья!
Надеюсь ремейк выйдет такой же как оригинал . А если нет , то всегда можно вернутся.

Is this not the most sad, thoughtful inducing bit of music you ever heard - its like crack, to those of us that have a soul.
@James Sunderland Yep, so true - only a soul that is scarred by pain can truly understand this master peace, imo.
For me, this is the theme of my autism, reminding me there's no escape from my inherit eccentricity, and people being wrong about me, because of it and their misunderstanding.
You're not alone.
a dangerous thing it is, to identify as an illness
@@808lukas1 Autism isn't an illness, it's a permanent disability in the brain you're born with. Many autists can be healthy on the mental scale, if that's what you were referring to.
@@mr.tomasiorubinshtein if I’m not mistaken, autism is only diagnosed and discovered through observation of social behavior. And then comparing said social behavior to what is considered “normal”. Of course it could be argued that not possessing normal social behavior makes it difficult to function in society. I agree with that. I don’t agree with defining it as a disability and I don’t agree with the huge emphasis placed on dissecting and labeling behavior as inherently negative, the huge emphasis that commonly exists in western viewpoints of mental illness.
@@mr.tomasiorubinshtein but with that being said I think I am projecting. Your original comment was pretty accurate
You can't beat this. Nothing can. Nope. My #1 most listened to song over the years.
Really?
@@setsers1 so what ?

This may give him such a bunch of emotions by just listening to it.
Akira Yamaoka created masterpieces and people identify with what this makes them feel, I understand it may not be the best for you, but also you have to understand that tis music is so... Beautiful

silent hill is more than a game, is a experience
To compose something like this, to capture a feeling as well as this song does, it's just incredible talent man. I have so much respect for this man, his music is simple yet amazingly powerful and full of emotions. It's not easy at all to capture feelings with songs, especially nostalgia.
akira yamaoka is a beast
I love Silent Hill forever
This is not a song , a melody or even a sound. This is what I feel inside my head. Merged with darkness, fear , sadness , loss , break, loneliness, pain, agony, but maybe ... Maybe . Or no no no. Surely it represents how I always wanted to live with her. How I always pictured our lives together , how it would be just enough for me to sleep in her lap to be cured. To forget . What it feels like to live again. Remade. I wish it was better , I wish it ended better. We weren't anything but I wanted it to be everything . This is hard when you love someone with all what you got and it just doesn't work out. You feel dead. Finished. Nothing to live for. If u ask me . This is very very very perfect for a 3 hours drive in a cold Jan. night .
'This is not a song' - false. This is a song. I will assume the rest of your comment is innaccurate.
@@WaveyDavey645 your comment is inaccurate , if u view this as a song you really never understood the story or felt it at all. this is a feeling , i had it on loop each night and every second was passing it was killing me, know your words before talking dude because you are in the wrong here
Depressed because she left… she meant the world to me… now what… at least this beautiful song… I get to experience…
You're not alone in this world. There is still a life to live even if it continues to open scars in our hearts and rip our souls. We just need to keep looking forward.
@@rosesera2202 i agree with you but my heart is in pain
In the time of my death, when life flashes before my eyes. The memories of all nighters with my big brother when I was a teenager playing silent hill 2 all night will pass by. Like it did while I was alive.
SH2 is a timeless masterpiece and Akira's music is just so magical.
Now the remake for it and mgs5 comes
I really can't quite put into words how this track makes me feel.
All my life, I've tussled between the everyday humdrum of living in society and a deep pensive sadness that permeates my being in the times where I'm alone with my thoughts.
But this music.... It's serene, yet ultimately tragic.
The fog reminds, that it comforts and envelopes all without discrimination.
Your pain, love, happiness, sadness.
All emotions melt and flow into the endless unknown.
You may look back, and think with a heavy heart "is this all life had to offer? Is it really full of so much feeling, just for it to mean nothing?"
It's okay to be sad.
It'll be okay.
I haven't been feeling well today. I came to this to put me at ease.
A track for those who feel a little lost in this cold, but beautiful world of ours.
Can't wait to hear this track in the Silent Hill 2 Remake. I'm very excited that Akira Yamaoka is doing the soundtrack for the remake.
There’s gonna be a remake????
@@4cinorev czcams.com/video/pyC_qiW_4ZY/video.html
@@4cinorev Yeah, it got announced a few months back.
I hope Blooper Team can pull this remake off. The original is lightning captured in a bottle. I don't know how they're going to replicate it.
@@Swam0811they won’t be able to replicate it because silent hill 2’s vibe is heavily reliant on the graphical limitations of the time which is what makes it so special. maybe it can be different from the original in its own way but i doubt there ever be a perfect remake that truly encapsulates the feeling of the original. hope i get proved wrong tho.
the lonely loner comes to free his mind at night a-a-at night
*stoner ( better version )
Its funny how the people who hasn't played the game react to this ost
The ones who did remember it very differently and sometimes just want to hide behind the closet
This song's been helping me enjoy my solitude these past weeks. I've always had a hard time being alone, I would look for dates, a relationship or even a fwb to make me feel good about myself. However, 2023 taught me many lessons and Silent Hill was there for me when it happened. The only person who will provide me real love and support is me.
The Silent Hill soundtrack is so characteristic and so difficult to express what one feels when listening to it, it is a masterpiece.
abandonment if it was a sound:
There’s a VRChat map of the entire Silent Hill 2 game. Running around it with friends is a blast, but when you do it alone, the feels are just so much different and it made me a little sad.
really? Theres seriously a sh2 map in that game?!
@@NTonyKaskan Yeah
wow i gotta try that
for me this music is not sad, just... nostalgic. It reminds me of all the time i spent with my friends, family, the people i loved...
really a masterpiece of a song.
Brutal piece of music, such a great game, what a beautifull thing humankind created.
Just being in a dark room with no one around playing this music is beautiful and peaceful
The music reminds me of all the evil human beings have to offer, but also the bittersweet fact that we happen to exist, and that life has given us freedom to embrace love in our own vast formulated prisons of hopelessness. A star within the distance of darkness that we will never reach, but dream to, progressing, still in yearning as we stand against a red sea.
I keep coming back to this damn tracks man...
Still listen to this ..since 2002
@@hectorg.9346 damn
This song speaks to me. Like a melody of my past, of my current. It represents the nostalgia and loneliness yet acceptance I experience each coming day
It's hard to articulate just how much this song resonates with me, it's the happiest *and* saddest song I've ever heard, a perfect yin-yang of tone and theming, the droning melancholic waves that start out alone and empty but have a sense of hope in them, it goes up and down much like human emotion
the little higher-pitched waves that creep in away from the main tune that feel more otherworldly and almost out of place, just loud enough to be perceptible, just quiet enough to be out of reach so to speak
not to mention the little twinkling sounds that almost sound like wind-chimes, that permeate a sense of nostalgia or even peace in the face of the overwhelming waves, because they're always passing and always sparse but they're so pleasant, like the stars at night or the pleasant memories that we can think of and smile over
It's just so perfect, and maybe I'm reading too much into it, although maybe not considering the source material
A majority of the main lead is composed from SLEEPCYCLE, a sample from Distorted Reality. To answer your question.
Too afraid of death to cut it short, too tired to be able to turn things around, i feel aimless, i know ill never stop trying, but just telling myself that fills me with existential dread, where am i going to end up like this?
please never give up. don't forget to sleep and eat well, do physical activity like dancing on your own or walking, maybe a therapist is required. you are not alone here in the dark
This song brings a vision to me.. a vision of being alone in the dark... and if you listen carefully, let your self fall deeply... those who are important, real and true will appear.
As above, so below. The human being finds himself, or herself, in the middle. There is as much space outside the human, proportionately, as inside.
Stars, moons, and planets remind us of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Is there a bigger being walking with all the stars within? Does our thinking affect what goes on outside us, and what goes on inside us? I think it does.
Where does creamed corn figure into the workings of the universe? What really is creamed corn? Is it a symbol for something else?
I don’t know why but this song just makes me feel like I’m 10 years old again, living in that moment in the late 90s when things were so so different. I feel so nostalgic for my past but almost like it never actually happened… weird how certain music can make you feel so strange.
really relaxing when I am studying
Somehow I always end up on this video. I can’t even count the times I’ve actually finished listening to it and how many things I thought. Returning at home in the morning with this banging in your earpieces it’s an experience on another level. I’ve always desired to feel nostalgic of a thing I had in the past, but is this what I really want now? I don’t know. And I don’t want to find it out. I’m messing myself up, I can’t even understand what it’s happening right now in my life, I’m forgetting how to stay around people. It’s frustrating. I just want school to end, summer felt better than the others. I just want to be me again and don’t stay around those fcking teachers and those classmates. I’m having lesser sleep everyday, I can’t go to sleep because of my anxiety, I don’t want tomorrow to be another day. I just want that today’s night could last forever and have fun with my friends.
Be grateful for these times going to school, one day you’re going to miss it
@@GTFOJAVAyes, being an adult with responsibilities is very overrated
@@GTFOJAVA honestly? i didn’t even remember writing this comment. Everything has actually changed! Even if i still have some problems with myself, i’m trying to change, and i’m receiving some help. i don’t care anymore about school, if there’s something i’m gonna miss when i’ll grew older is all the experiences i had with my friends. Time flies away and i need to get back on track and start to make treasure of it. but thanks for the kind words
I can't believe that listening to this has helped me focus with my ADHD... Simply stunning results that music has on our mind.
This is the best silent hill song and perfectly captures the atmosphere. Also this is kinda relevant but not to the game I always had a crush on Radha Mitchell in the movie. She was so friggin cute. I was always hoping I would find someone in my life that looked like her.
The music of Silent Hill really captures what it feels like to drive early in the morning to work
As a nursing student who lives very far from my nursing college, the "drive early in the morning to work" feeling relates to me very deeply.
I miss her so much.
I miss her so much it literally *hurts* bro.
Im going through it too bro
😞💔
...this song takes me back to a time where the world was still fresh to me, a time where I didn't know this thing about who, a time where I didn't know my family were bad people, a time where I enjoyed myself because all I did all day long was play video games, and honestly I can't say whether that was a good thing or a bad thing...just that it's here and it's nostalgic hearing this song's wonderful melody again since I had left it to brimstone all those nights ago.
ignorance really is a bliss
Being an angsty teen, waking up at 3 in the morning, staring at the ceiling in the dark with this song playing unable to get back to sleep for 10-20 minutes. Thinking of everything, and now in hindsight realizing how incredible that moment really felt. Like being completely cozy in the dead of winter.
I remember playing silent hill 2 for the first time, ofc I was terrified to play it cuz I thought it was just another horror game but man it really hits much later on in the game. It becomes more of a game that makes you question everything but it still keeps the horror element, I wish we could get another silent hill as great as this one.
I’m 22 now.. games like this and silent hill 3 oddly influenced my personality.. and yet, I am not a nihilist, but a pragmatic idealist. I feel bad for the generation that was born after me and the many to come after them.. I feel as though everything is gone and astroturfed to oblivion - and I got the best of everything right before it was snatched away.. and now I apply my mentality to my ambition, and it works..I just have to keep it up. Soon I will have the resources I need ..
Ditto
Unfortunately I never played this game but why then do I feel so much nostalgia by hearing this?
This proves how critical the score is to the whole Silent Hill experience and how Silent Hill wouldn't be what it is without Yamaoka's great work.
It moves people even without being familiar with the story, cutscenes, details, backstory, etc...
Man. I’ve always struggled with depression. What I want... It’s always just been out of reach. I have always been waiting for my moment to prove everybody wrong. I failed in football, I wasn’t meant for college. My dream job was to be a police officer in the same department my family is, where all of my heroes and people I looked up to work. I made it through the academy. I had fun for weeks, then I hit a wall. I wasn’t figuring it out. I didn’t make it. Now my life has literally been in limbo. I’m losing track of time, I am not retaining any knowledge, I cannot sleep, I have bloated nearly 70 pounds and I have just felt bored at all times. I have no path forward and I don’t know where to go or what to do. My girlfriend has lost interest, my friends have moved on. I have been stagnated. Life’s plan fell apart. I was optimistic for years because I nearly made it to the dream... just to fail at the finish line. Sorry for telling my story in fuckin CZcams comments I’m just looking for a sign.
Hope it all gets better but life moves and it does not reverse nor stop all we can do is move directions before we pass it
Get in touch with the earth you were put on. It works for so many people. Nothing like the beauty of the world around you when the people around you have blurred you of it’s true beauty. It’s better than rotting inside your room.
i can describe this song as an uneasy peace
like an abandoned city or village
a dead planet, full of dried up oceans and rivers
the vacuum of space, far away from any space stations or even stars and planets
these are all peaceful locations, but definitely not without some horrible implications. an abandoned city, where people left in a hurry from some greater threat. an entire planet, void of any life that once did exist there, as if an entire species was wiped out. and, being in the vacuum of space, staring into the abyss constantly, knowing full well that anything that can possibly see you is millions of lightyears away
Themes like this, not to mention 'White Noiz', 'A World of Madness', 'Heaven's Night' and so on, marked a terribly dark page of my life not so long ago. Everything seemed to me full of rust, corrosion, patina and crust over a background of decadence. Slowly and painfully I barely got over it, but every day has enough hours in it for me to fall in that state of utmost bitterness.
May this music not turn into the soundtrack of my life.
*hug*
Всех с началом учебного года, карлики! Тот кто терпит выживает. Терпение во благо
so empty so lonely but still makes me complete .
holy shit this is so deep and profound. you said it perfectly, this is exactly how I felt about this song too without realizing it. I hope you feel better if you're going through tough times. I wish you all the best!
@@RonaldoFan-zz9rk thanks buddy .god bless u too .
Instead of feels lonely and depressed,
I feel like entered a new world, This music sounds so different, It's out of this world!
You are now entering telly heaven
One of the best games by far music, story, everything.
Sounds like traveling through a freezing cold, foggy, misty forest of giant mushrooms, unable to see too far ahead you.
Whatever light there is in the sky just barely there as if just an hour after first light, not to be too noticed due to the thick fog.
Everything just a desaturated color except the little bright twinkles of magical glow of all bright colors floating around and among the still low cut grass and mushrooms
This song calms and heals my inner child.
"Dad, why did you name Rose "Rose"?
"Because your mom loves roses"
"Thanks Dad"

One of the best of all times as a game, as a experience, as ost... A master piece.
Thank you for sharing your loops with the people, you are a generous king.
SH2 IS BACK!
Bless you. I’m having a panic attack outside in the rain tonight and I needed exactly this song, but looping for a long time. I feel better now. You helped me out. 👊
This song embodies the feeling of drifting through space, a ragdoll to gravity slowly becoming more and more lost with every passing star, unable to do anything but accept your oncoming death, you start hoping for it, becoming bored inside your thoughts.
Right now as I am listening to this song it's gray, cloudy and snowing a bit outside where I live currently in Ashland, Oregon. Which is rather appropriate weather for this music now that I stop and think about it!
i'll never get tired of the silent hill 2 ambiance. nothing even comes close to the cold, comforting depression it invokes
i have no words to describe this song makes me feel. Is a kind of trance and pleasure, both. Makes me sleep aswell. I will keep it in my soul for whole life.
Keep coming back to these extended mixes for late night studying, thinking or sleeping, and I've driven through my old home town on a foggy winter afternoon, was pretty serene.
Thanks!

This comment section is so relatable. All the thoughts I've had has been said perfectly.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I've listened to this entire song at least 5 times in the past week
Gosh I've never thought that I will crying by that sound cause this is so vulnerable and safely
Something about the tone of this theme brings me back memories of my first Christmas I could remember in 2002
imagine just playing this song whilst in the car when its night time sitting at the streetlights and its raining but its that misty kinda rain with a slight bit of fog there as well. Just imagine those sounds together.
This music makes me want to go stand outside in the fog.
Having said that, though... maybe I should be more afraid of what lurks within that fog.
oh hey its you!
This is the music I think of when I am in a Silent Hill mood, when I look at liminal space images... or even if when I feel like I am walking in a liminal space myself. The droning echoes, the shaky violin and the bells all make it all chilling. It is haunting, it is somber, it is beautiful and it seems to capture the emotional tone of Silent Hill 2's theme amazingly.
This song has alway been important to me. its stopped me killing myself so many times and this extended version is keeping me alive as I write this. Thank you Crustacean, you are a saint. god bless.
I can't believe just how much I've changed over the years.. I would play nearly every ost of Silent Hill 2 before bed as I start to cry and think about nothing but wanting to be with someone who'd love me just as much as I would. And I finally met that special person. It's been nearly 3 years since I last heard this ost.. boy does it bring back painful memories. But still this game was like a drug to me, I'd feel high nearly every time I played Silent Hill 2 specifically. It's one game I'll always remember, I love this game. I am grateful that the sound tracks from silent Hill 2 were able to numb my pain back then in high school. 💔~💓~~💗~~~💘~ (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
I listen to the silent hill soundtracks (mostly 2-4) to either study or sleep, and honestly it really helps
