LYRICS:
The Great Unknown Gavin Dunne 2017
Open eyes
The longest sleep
The furthest leap
A new sunrise
Look up, look up to see
Pioneers
It’s been so long
Since we’ve been gone
But we are here
Step out, step out and breathe
Rushing over rolling rings
On solar winds we ride
Into the great unknown
The stars light up the stones
We’re carried ever onward
Upon a hope of home
Oh oh oh oh
Into the great unknown
Into the faraway
Ride on the hope of home
The sky is ever brighter
Into the great unknown
Into the faraway
Finding home
Better days
The paths we’ve laid
The friends we’ve made
Along the way
Reach out, reach out to feel
Out into the vast we’re headed
Paths untread to find
Into the great unknown
The stars light up the stones
We’re carried ever onward
Upon a hope of home
Oh oh oh oh
Into the great unknown
Into the faraway
Ride on the hope of home
The sky is ever brighter
Into the great unknown
Into the faraway
Finding home
Lives and loves we left behind
Faded in the crest of time
Shooting stars they dot the Milky Way
Painful ends and broken hearts
Left behind for a new start
Shut the doors, ignite and cast away....
Into the great unknown
The stars light up the stones
We’re carried ever onward
Upon a hope of home
Into the great unknown
The stars light up the stones
We carry ever onward
Upon a hope of home
Oh oh oh oh
Step outside and breathe the air
Look up to the new sunrise
We are home...
Into the great unknown
Into the faraway
Ride on the hope of home
The sky is ever brighter
Into the great unknown
Into the faraway
Finding home - เพลง
Song is out now on iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp, Spotify etc... enjoy!!! And thank you for your support
I'm glad the songs bring you some comfort & joy :) Please stay strong and keep finding that joy & beauty in life!
Don't let go, Nileon. :) I know how you feel. There's a band that speaks to me like that, with the same effect upon the same problem.
Depression leeches joy out of your life and can turn things you love into distant memories. That's not you or the thing you love. Depression blocks your true perception.
Go do something different for a while. I recommend a walk in the woods while listening to Gavin's music, but that's just off the top of my head. Depression is an illness like any other, but like mist chronic illnesses, coping mechanisms tend to be different from person to person and even change based on the day. Sometimes I need the woods. Sometimes I need to create art. Sometimes I need a video game, or a hug, or ice cream, or to see a small child look at something I made and go "Wow!"
Something that may help, at least to know you're not alone, is an article I wrote a while back explaining what depression is like. thecatholicgeeks.com/2015/06/18/a-look-inside-depression/
NileonMatter Depression will always make it seem like you'll never get better. Like I said, it's an illness. When you have a cold, you probably feel like it'll never end. And that's a small illness. Depression is chronic. It's always lurking like something alive. It's not, but sometimes it's helpful to visualize it as something you can fight.
I've gotten to the point that I can recognize, even deep in depression, that what I'm feeling is probably false. When I come back out, which might be in a few hours or two months, it'll seem obvious that it was all an illusion. But when it's there, it's more real that what I can touch.
What you described is depression. You're just seeking a different solution to the same problem.
Let's take a moment to see the minutia of this song. The chorus throughout the whole thing goes.
"Into the great unknown
The stars light up the stones
We’re carried ever onward
Upon a hope of home
Oh oh oh oh "
As the chorus is sung one last time it changes, a small change, but a powerful one.
"Into the great unknown
The stars light up the stones
We carry ever onward
Upon a hope of home
Oh oh oh oh "
*We carry ever onward". No longer is it "we're carried", but "we carry". It changes from someone who simply goes along, to someone who moves, and changes things. We're could mean we are, or we were. It's about how Ryder went from following his/her father, being carried onward by the pathfinder, to being that pathfinder. Ryder is now carrying humanity into the great unknown.
Gav's songs always reference things in a good way. He puts in musical references to previous songs in a series, and he puts in references to the game lore. It's rarely obvious, but it really shows these aren't just pumped out, they're things that take commitment, and care about something to make.
Avarickan this is a very great, meaningful and high-class comment! was too tired to get this only hearing it (kinda noticed a difference... but u kno..) thank you very much man!
PS only sad it has so less attention c:
I love when people notice these small details :) It makes the effort put into to writing the songs worth it :)
Whoa! I've actually noticed your comment and payed attention to the lyrics. Awesome switch of roles! :)
I agree with you wholeheartedly; it's refreshing seeing musicians like MoS putting such effort into their work. Any number of others would just quit before putting such detail into their music, and I find it fantastic that Gav is not one of those. Wasted talent if he were!
"Ryder, you have AVP Outstanding."
New perk: Entertainment pods.
"Receive the occasional morale boosting soundtrack from Milky Way artist 'Miracle of Sound.'"
I'm a simple man. I see a notification from Miracle Of Sound, I click it. But in all seriousness, this truly is a work of art. I really liked the way it seemed to capture the solemn majesty of space while keeping the intensity of the game.
My favourite thing about Gav's music is that when we hear a song like this we're not just hearing music and words. We're being taken on an odyssey to an amazing place where our favourite stories and worlds are immortalised through song. And that to me is the amazing thing of all.
Those Crucible undertones though... I love it :D
I was wondering why it sounded so familiar. ;D
Ikr! I spent half the song thinking 'I know I recognise that motif, but from where?' When you see it, though, you wonder how you missed it.
Crucible was so brilliant that on subsequent replays of ME3, I'd always get confused why I couldn't hear it when I'd reach the Crucible in-game. Seriously, put it alongside the actual soundtrack and I dare you to say it doesn't fit seamlessly.
SomeIrishKid It took me a while but as soon as I recognised it, I was overwhelmed. Absolutely breathtaking.
Up to this moment i was like "nah, this song is good, but not a genius. there is not even a ME atmosphere".
As soon as I heard familiar notes, i just thought "yes, this is still about Mass Effect". And tried to not cry to the whole end of the song.
It's like Miracle of Sound understood the drama of the ME:A story better than BioWare did.
Bioware never got to make the story they wanted to, ea rushed them. Because of that we will never know / see what ME:A was supposed to be.
@@troyscribner4342 Do you have a source for this? I'd like to learn more, as far as I know they were initially planning a very different game more focused on exploration with procedurally generated planets, which turned out not great so they had to start over with like 1.5 years left until release.
@@themars2011 im sorry to say i dont, at least not now. I just dont remember where i got everything.
Just look into it yourself a little bit, you can find articles and archives on it. Ill link it here in a reply if I remember to do so but im busy atm.
In short though much of what they worked on was scrapped because they needed to make a “more monetizable game”
And yea, they had impossible deadlines to work with, terrible marketing assistance, and many more problems. When players backlashed at the multiplayer EA pulled the plug entirely.
@@themars2011 Source: Literally everything EA touches. lmfao
I hear bits of Crucible and bits of the main theme from ME1, and it all blends together into a beautiful whole. Gets me excited for the time when I can actually afford a machine that can run the game. Excellent song as always, Gav.
At this point I'm genuinely confused why game publishers haven't picked up Gav to do their trailers for them. He'd probably charge pennies compared to their 'big budget marketing team', and he can make even the shittiest games look incredible.
I'm pretty sure if he did a song for bad rats it'd be on the top of steam best-sellers by the end of the day.
He actually just did do a song for a game with the musicians from the Witcher 3. "Seven - The Day Long Gone"
Pretty sure he explained he doesn't like contracted work very much.
I just know that if I was making a game, I would give him early access and ask for some sweet tunes for the game. or something along those lines. this guy is a genius
problem is the corporations tend to think they know best and interferes instead of paying Gav what he asks for upfront and letting him do his thing which would probably mean it is completed more quickly and with better quality
Except that Mass Effect Andromeda wasn't nearly as shit as the youtube parasites made everyone believe.
Having not yet played Andromeda (no XB1 / PS4 or a PC capable of running it yet), I can't comment on how this relates to the actual game. I'm not even looking at the video itself in case of (unintentional) spoilers.
What I *will* say, however, is how amazing this song feels to me: I adore the callback to Crucible, the instantly catchy riffs and chorus, the synthy-ness (that is a word) and subtle ME1 theme melody - it's like a love letter to the entire Mass Effect series and we lucky few who happen to be fans (of ME and MoS).
Gav, you are without question a musical genius and it is criminal that you're not more well-known and receiving the attention you clearly deserve. I'm pretty much guaranteed to be a fan for the rest of my life. Major Kudos to you, sir, and may you keep on rockin'!
thank you. having you guys as an audience more than makes up for not having mainstream success
Yeah I'm pretty happy where I am :) direct line with the audience plus 100% of my profit as opposed to the 7-10% I'd earn on a label
RISE OH IRISH JESUS, RISE AND GIVE THE FANS WHAT WE NEED!
All hail Irish Jesus!
Have you seen the other Irish Jesus on the Facts TH-cam channel?
Seems like Irish people tend to be jesuitic.
This is too funny.
ALL HAIL IRISH JESUS ! , MAY HIS DIVINE MUSIC SHINE IN OUR EARS !
Le Bobelin How does that work?
if i had to choose one of your songs for my funeral, i think it would be this one. the message of finding home and letting loved ones behind is very powerful here.
I was just going to make mine have all my favorite songs of his
Oh thank god; I wasn't fully expecting him to do a song on this one, considering the lukewarm reception it got. :,^)
Never should've doubted you. Thanks, Irish Jesus.
Edit; Fuck's sake, this is orgasmic.
yes it is
Sultan irisesus?
Lol, good way to descried it.
Sultan Well he makes songs based on inspiration. Not based on the game's popularity. :p (Though admittedly most of his songs are for popular games. )
"Painful ends and broken hearts, left behind for a new start" - Wait... waaaaait... Gav, is that a burn towards ME3's ending? Damn, that line literally had me laughing out loud! Absolutely love the song, btw :)
Gav clearly spent about 4 hours tweaking the face in the character creator to get that Ryder. :)
Standard Ryders are badly animated and a bit cringe. And I feel like mine has a better personality.
I always spend hour on characters if I get the chance XD
Miracle of Sound has made me love music again
That's quite a compliment :)
Athedia "made you love music _again?_" Why, did you have a period when you hated all music?
Yeah, when I get tired of it. When I just hit skip on everything on my playlist. Burnout happens. But there is so much variety with MoS that I can't get bored.
I feel you. I have an unfortunate tendency to get enraptured by a song, listen to it at the exclusion of all else for days, then get sick of it and ignore it for years. So far, I've done steps 1 and 2 with a couple dozen of Gav's songs, but curiously, never step 3.
I am not usually crying listening songs, but this is one of them
Ahh oh my gosh, the crucible part hit me... So much memories from the early days with this channel :,)
Ryder dances as badly as Shepard haha
LuciaSatalina The Shepard shuffle is universal
LuciaSatalina Why does Bioware never hire a Dance instructor for this stuff?
as badly? Trust me, ryder wishes they had the skill of shepard
Bartix there is one thing Ryder can do that Shepard can't: JUMP
with the help of a jetpack
There is a title/job that is not used much these days and that is Bard. For those that are not sure or don't know bards where the song writers and story tellers in Britain mainly during the middle ages they told tales wrote verse and composed music. This I think that is a perfect description of what Gavin does.
0:57 "Step out, step out and breathe." As Ryder stands up after almost dying from a toxic atmosphere... XD
Step out, step out and breathe
**shows unbreathable atmosphere**
Guess it's kinda ironic because of what happens within the first few minutes of landing.
I think that's exactly the point of that line, actually :-)
Props to you for using irony correctly lmao
I didn't play the original Mass Effect trilogy until pretty late, about 2014. By then all of Gav's phenomenal Mass Effect series songs were out and I enjoyed the hell out of them. With Mass Effect 3 being my favorite game of all time, songs like Take It Back and Crucible had become as much a part of my Mass Effect experience as the game itself. And since I've finished, I feel like I'd left behind some great memories of the crew and adventures of those games.
When that Crucible sting hit at 2:51, I was right back there on the Citadel with all those friends again, tearing up from the happy memories.
From the bottom of my heart, thanks Gav. Never stop being amazing.
it's taken me 3 years to realize that this is pretty much "crucible" with lyrics added
You've done a better job at making me want to buy this game through this song than literally any advertisement.
Yet another masterpiece. You've captured both the optimism and the struggle in one song. And the classic Mass Effect theme in the background made me smile instantly.
Oh man, is it 5 years from release? I love it. The sky is ever brighter after listening this song :)
Miracleofsound: Making songs about games that are better than the games themselves since 2010.
Wrong: making games better since forever
Wrong: Making games godly since 100 B.C
kotor XD since 100,000 BC
Yes not even the dinosaurs could stop him
they tried too... its just their extinct now
This is honestly more "Mass Effect" than the entirety of Mass Effect Andromeda's soundtrack. Your best this year by far. Great job.
+1 the song gave me goosebumps! I know it's overused in games media, but "Epic" is genuinely what this it feels like
He used the same melody as ME1 theme.
What theme was so "not mass effect" then? It sounded a bit different sure but imo it still had the same atmosphere.
The club music for Andromeda was pretty unique it wasn't from other EA titles, the ones I am mainly talking about is Staggered Injection and Callista the music played in the upper level of Afterlife in ME 2 and I believe the lower level soundtrack was from Need for Speed games. All of the ones for Andromeda the developers asked some artist to do tracks for the nightclubs my favorite personally is Proton Bells by Koba.
some people were disappointed by this game but I still really like it regardless of their opinions about it. there were a lot of bugs and glitches but I'm playing it now and the patches that they've done have really taken care of most of them.
I discovered the game at its latest version, and I'm blown away.
Apart from some glitches in ambiant conversation, it's an extraordinary experience.
This game is incredible.
My problem isn't the gameplay.
My problem is the completely nonsense writing and the complete lack of common sense anyone in the Initiative showed.
Like, the Initiative was handed an Idiot Ball.
That Shepard Shuffle at the end, made me smile the most.
I don't know why but hearing this song has made me remember about car rides to my grandmother's house as a child. Everything felt so exciting then.
Sometimes I wish TH-cam will forget I liked this song so I can feel the satisfaction of liking another Gavin masterpiece.
I am Pathfinder Ryder and this is my favorite Song on the Nexus
Great work, now I really want to play the game :D
I'm sorry.
@@jasonsorin1021 The game was not that bad. Bioware, instead of Anthem, should've made some good DLCs for ME:A.
Don’t know if you got around to it but I started playing it a while ago and I think it’s got it’s really good moments and worth a try!
@@straybard_art I disagree.
@@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim hahaha ok
I have been listening to Miracle Of Sound for quite a while now and i have come to a statement... Gav is definitely my favorite singer of all time and i will listen to his song until my dead.
A song to reignite hope in the Initiative !
And your Ryder looks good ! That's an achievement in and of itself :D
Although she manages to look extraordinarily bored...
That alien neck you usually get simply doesn't helps...
A beautiful song for an amazing game
One of the things i always look forward to in these type of songs is the throwback to your earlier songs of the game franchise. I love the use of Crucible in this.
My god man, every time I hear those crucible notes I get chills.
That's one song I never feel I have big enough speakers for.
Oh man I was so worried that your Andromeda song wouldn't live up to the legacy of your fantastic stuff from ME2 and 3. This is fantastic! I can't wait to get this on my phone
There's a lot of competition, but I think this might be my favourite song on the Citade... I mean, on this channel.
Please never stop doing things like this Gavin. They are really helping to go through the life. I am very happy that i found you 5 years ago. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND NEVER STOP.
Makes me want to play the games again ... I think they accomplished exactly how game music should make you feel.
"Painful ends and broken hearts. Left behind for a new start."
......OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
I've finished the game yesterday and I loved it.
I've been waiting this song for months, and I loved it.
And now, while I'm preapering my second run, i can only say: Thanks Gav for this amazing piece of art, you're the best! Keep up the good work, pathfinder! :)
Nothing better than a good original song to accompany a second playthrought
I just started my second yesterday!
I'm late to the party,but I just noticed that this is a throwback to the Crucible song. Took me 10 months after this songs release to hear.
If this were an ad for the game, that little bit at the end would have me instantly sold.
Reminds me of Iron Maiden during their Dance of Death era. Love it.
That's interesting you mention that cos I've been listening to that album a lot again lately. Must've had an influence!
Since the part "Rushing over rolling rings on solar winds we ride" i had tears in my eyes for the rest of the song just because how beautiful it sounds. This happens to me only while listening to your songs. Thank you for that. :)
Probably some of Andromeda's best moments are used in this song, bravo
"It’s been so long
Since we’ve been gone
But we are here"
After the 2020 N7 day these lyrics have a whole new meaning
Thanks so much Gav... this music really helps... it... just the first chorus was enough to cheer me up some from how I was feeling earlier. thank you, you beautiful big cheek irish bastard, You are the best, and my favourite musician EVER.
I'm so happy this came out.
You could have been able to tell how happy I am by looking at my face.
But the animator forgot to give me emotions.
Maybe your face is just tired.
It's just been revoked
You made my day XD. But now it's better thanks to the patch 1.05
Yep, at 1.05 I noticed only once weird facial animation. Otherwise this issue seems to be fixed.
Random Guy I beat the game before 1.5 I should really go back for a second playthrew it sounds like the patch helped a lot.
Random Day's I just get a Miracle of Sound song stuck in my head and need to listen to it constantly, today was this song.
I absolutely adored the game, and I am SO glad you liked it enough to be inspired to do a song about it.
It's been out for a while now, but only now have I been able to play it. And now I can at last listen to this song.
So, while late to the party, I applaud you.
Been waiting for this song, and it did NOT disappoint!
Mass Effect Universe - R. I. P.
Don't give up hope. Maybe. Just maybe. It can come back. Mass Effect is what really broke open the doors for games where every choice you make matters. It would be stupid to let it fade away completely.
Mass effect is never R.I.P, until we have Mass Effect 2:) Mass effect is one of the best trilogy ever made, all of three games are perfect, but the end of Mass effect 3 is bad, but i don’t think this a big problem, and we cannot play this three mighty games again:)
New song on repeat playing.
The back track gives me goosebumps damn. And once again, I’m back in Mass Effect hell because of this song
I left so fast my children still think I'm at their soccer game
I love the 2:50 call back to Catalyst! So awesome!
I looked up Catalyst and can't see a resemblance; are you sure it isn't Crucible you're thinking of?
Oh right that's what I meant! It's been so long since I've heard the song.
Goosebumps incoming
WOW
Как же мало просмотров... Такой *шедевр*, такой качественный контент люди обходят стороной...эх.
Don't get me wrong. The "I am onnly Human" is great. But this... This should be official song of ME:A.
Or at least the ending theme. Definitely the ending theme.
Imagine, if the Anfromeda goes trilogy and this song happens to be the ending theme of the third game, except ending with words "We are home." (after all of the normal lyrics).
There are rumors that because Andromeda was bit of a fail, the ME series will get a... lets call it a break. :(
I really hope these are just rumors. Even if they are not... Well, one can dream, after all. And I really hope Andromeda galaxy will truly become new home for those who endured centuries-long trip from the Milky Way - just in the hope for a new home.
I started singing to it before I'd even heard the full song... another amazing song, Gav! Congratulations!
This is gonna be my ringtone
This sounds more like Mass Effect than the actual soundtrack.
Wait this game has a soundtrack?
I never noticed
Sean Parenti Lmao the only music I remember is at the title screen and the end credits.
StarKeyStudios I wouldn't say it was bad, it just lacked any truly standout tracks. I mean, I can only remember a few tracks from the OT, like Vigil and Leaving Earth, because there were fantastic, and iconic.
If anything, Andromeda's problem was how little use it made of its soundtrack. Too often the game was silent when it should have had music.
Andromeda's soundtrack? You're kidding? Absence of music theme is THE ONLY REAL BIGGEST problem of this game.
StarKeyStudios It wasn't bad, it was non-existent.
On my first listen, I teared up like I haven’t in months… shit, I don´t know how to put this song´s beauty in words alone. Just hearing the references to Crucible, one of my favorite instrumentals ever, was enough to get me excited, but the lyrics… Hope. Hope Hope Hope, that´s the word, it´s in my head beating non-stop, reminding me with its embrace and warmth of what it feels like to be alive. Discovery, Struggle, New Beginnings, Love, Fear and, through its darkest moments, Hope shining bright through it all. Thank you, Gav… Thank you so much…
Glad it moved you so much :)
Certainly passed the Goosebumps-test. Repeatedly.
The nod to the Suicide Mission theme at the beginning was so good!
Damn. Hadn't cried listening to a song in awhile. Good job mate.
Whenever i sing along with this song, i have a habit of mixing up "made" and "laid". But then i remember its a bioware game, so it all works out
This is throwing me right back to the original trilogy, and the time when I was listening to your Crucible.
This song is making me hopeful of Mass Effect's future.
Love the call back to Crucible in this one. Another great song to add to my playlists.
the more often i listen to it, the better.
Love your voice and style, Gav.
You are a music god and I hope you´ll keep doing this till high age.
Thank you
I am getting so many chills, this is amazing. I thought that your best songs were the Witcher ones. I stand corrected.
Jonah Dominguez
I really liked the Deus Ex vids he did. Especially Mankind Divided.
Aren't all of Gavs songs?
VANTA BLACK
TRUE.
Yes it is.
Yes they are!
My word. I love the callbacks in this song, the small references to your other Mass Effect songs. This is fantastic.
You did it again Gav. You made me care more about a game with one song than every single piece of marketing.
This song has taken on a bittersweet tone for me as of late,
'cause it is now extremely doubtful we will get DLC for this, or a sequel.
I am so disappointed in you, EA.
Well, the folks over on new BSN started with the #SaveTheQuarians hashtag. Maybe it'll do something, you never know. I suppose it's worth a shot.
I need a special pair of headphones for Miralce of Sound music. The ones I have on me now just doesn't cut it.
This is a realy great Song. It sounds just right for ME:A. Hope for more of it.
Listening to this does not make my face tired.
Awesome to see another song from you Gav keep it up my man.
I like to imagine my Ryder and crew writing and singing this song on their journeys on the Tempest
Imagine Drack singing "Painful ends and broken hearts/Left behind for a new start/Shut the doors, ignite and cast away.... "
This one goes directly into my playlist
that melody from Crucible... So many feels...
The beginning of this song sounds a lot like a piece in the OST of ME1, but I can't remember its name!
I sure love it though.
As well as this piece of art.
Your Ryder is magnificent :3
Even the instrumental is Mass Effect-like. I love it!
My face is tired from grinning at how awesome this song is. Good work, Irish Christ!
Aw yiss. Great work as always, Gavin. Keep it up!
Gavin, you are an amazing artist. I think your song "amnesia" is one of the best, simply because I related so much to it. Thank you for what you do! You're amazing!
The best thing about ME: Andromeda is that this song exists because of it...
this is soooo ahead of its time i mean i listen to miracleofsound for over 6 years and wow. just wow. Even after all this time miracleofsound is so underrated wtf
It's criminal, the quality is outstanding and it ain't know as well as other video-game orientated artists.
This song in particular is one of my favourites, I did a space-faring tabletop RPG with some friends about pathfinding in an uncharted part of the galaxy, after 3 and a half years of it this is something I associate with it.
Thanks Gav. Another great song. Keep well mate.
Took me a few listens to hear that you have used the rift from "Crucible". One of my favourite instrumentals, so is no wonder I love this song as well :)
Get shivers every time I hear that "we are home" line :)
Damn this is a great song, I love the bits that came from both crucible and the original trilogy's soundtrack, especially at the beginning.
