Gotta love the "American dream" eh? Bouncing around dead end jobs, not being able to provide for a family as one working person, nobody responds to your applications, and the list goes on.
I love the idea of silent hill being your personal hell. Getting pounded for every sin you did over and over until you break. The best psychological horror game ever
This is the most appropriate song that could have played at this point in the game's story. James is wandering around the hotel in mute horror as he tries to process everything he learned from that VHS tape. That dull, grinding drone that hits you when you enter the hallway is such a great way of representing the despair he's feeling at that moment.
The fact that it's so repetitive yet somehow vague and not really sounding like anything specific really hits you with the feeling of not knowing what to do next, just as James felt.
I feel you. I started apprenticeship at this shithole of a store and they made me work harder and more than the normal workers, even tho they earned about triple what I did, if not more. I hate this place.
It’s like I can feel everything and nothing it makes me question everything and reminds me that I truly don’t want to be alive for myself but for the pleasure of others
Ive always realised myself falling down into my own mind into all those memories, thinking i dont need to go back there. A sudden jerk and ill be normal, i have control.

When no game is fun, youtube is dry, theres nothing in the fridge. So you just lay down on your bed and some of the deepest thoughts and questions come into your mind out of nowhere this is how it feels.
You seem like one of those people whose very quiet and keeps things to themselves but then one night after hanging out you just whip out the most existencial philosophical reflections ever that you look back on without remembering the words but recalling the distinct feeling of being heard and hearing right back (that's too long and probably weird. Sorry u seem cool tho)
Up until that point, the hotel was the most normal looking part of the town. It just looked like a regular hotel that had all the lights turned off. Then this hits and the whole place is rotting and dripping, walking aimlessly through the rooms in a daze. Amazing what they did
Even better when you realize that the "otherworld" hotel is what the place actually looks like irl, and that its "normal-looking" version was how James saw it before the revelation. Bro just started to see the truth
Personally I think the music is what makes silent hill one of the greatest franchises ever. The music always captures the mood, and feeling of what the characters are feeling at that time. As scary as this track is, it totally captures the feeling of guilt and regret.
I was genuinely so happy to hear this track on my playthrough of the remake. Out of all tracks this was one they needed to keep consistent. It truly captures the dreadful feeling that otherworld lakeview gives you. Especially right after learning the truth
Thats not the other world, that's the real world since the truth was revealed to James the vail is gone and he see the hotel for how disheveled and derelict it is.
@@Hunter-jy4hl I like to imagine it’s how the hotel looks, but also still very clearly manipulated by the town, with the Maria bossfight seemingly taking place above the clouds
@@Hunter-jy4hl Not a single moment inside silent hill takes place in the real world, it's either the Fog world or the Other world. We must not forget that despite the cult fuckery, old gods, monsters, and all the horrors of the town, it's still a town where people are living their lives, there are just 3 versions of it, normal, fog, nightmare.

@Juan Contreras the silent hill-verse is sublime. I really can't put into words how much I wish they would make something absolutely mind bending and diabolical. I don't feel the movies did it justice
I don't know why, but I think out of every song in the entire franchise, this is my favourite. Not only because of how unsettling the sound is, but because of how perfectly it is utilised in the game. Feels like the perfect embodiment of the shock and emptiness James would have felt in the moments after realising what he'd done, as well as the shock the player might feel at the revelation. Not only does it fit the narrative, but I feel it perfectly complements the damp, destroyed hotel setting as well, especially with the dripping water SFX you hear in-game. Silent Hill is a perfect example of a game that uses music and audio to its fullest to enhance the experience, and I think this song is a stand-out example.
@@littlemeows6549 James killed his Wife by suffocation with a pillow, its was an act of hate and desperation because he was tired of her, after he killed her, the guilt and the regret were too far from him to handle it, so he took the courpes and put in the backpack in his car and he drove to SH in order to kill himself in the toluca lake, but when he entered SH his conciouness in order to deal with his depression and his guilt he erased all his memories about killing her, then he was put in a state were he believed that his wife died 3 years ago and the letter was also an ilusion created by his mind, at the end of the game, James finally realize his crime and this song its used when he is finally accepting his actions and also the letter disappear from his items, this song its the representation of all the guilt, the regret, the hate, the depression and the realization of James about his crime.

I kind of have low expectations for it because fuck Konami, but they are bringing Akira Yamaoka and Masahiro Ito back for it, so maybe there's hope that it won't be awful.
@@SubterraneanBruh That's what I hope as well, but tbh at this point I feel like the series has been one foot in the grave for so long thanks to Konami's greed and negligence that if it does turn out bad, it won't really be anything new for them. I just wish that, to compensate for if it is bad, they would actually make the original available on more platforms in a good form, and not the terrible "HD collection."
@@WorldDstroyer only time will tell. a lot of hardcore fans are complaining about the remake already mainly because of blooper but in the trailer it looks like they have done a very great job so far so the only thing is to stay hopeful for now
Lying to yourself then getting smacked in the face by the truth, as James did, has got to be one of the most horrible things you can experience. This masterpiece of a track portrays that feeling perfectly. Confusion, guilt and self-hatred all molded together
As a trans person i relate. For the longest time i denied myself my authenthic self, pretended to be someone im not because of the wishes of others and because i thought it would be easier and simpler that way. When i finally accepted the truth it was hard, i had my own Pyramid Head to fight, alongside so much doubt, fear and anxiety
How I thought being teenager is as a kid: Hanging out with your friends, getting a gf, first kiss, going to parties Me as a teenager now on the verge of ending it as I'm stuck in a constant loop of emptiness:
This somehow makes me calm but at the same time remember all the disturbing and dark bits of life Silent Hill tracks really know how to interact with your mind
@@adven4615thank you for writing this instead of me. There is no comfort in depression indeed. Cold and pain just eventually switch to void and feeling of absence covered in a grey noise. It is not comfort. It is a state of invocation of death. Seeking for help from the others is strongly suggested, as it becomes increasingly difficult to break out by oneself.
Incredible how Akira Yamaoka was able to capture absolute grief and hopelessness in a single track. The flooded hotel segment would not hit nearly as hard without this
This is the sound of rumination. Droning noises of doubts, the feeling of helplessness, anxiety, guilt, frustration, and ultimately, despair. The incoherent stream of thoughts signaling you've reached rock bottom. The uncovering of your own lies as the truth becomes undeniable. I've been like this for over a week now, this song sympathizes with me, so I don't feel alone.
No you're not. I don't find any of Silent Hill's music scary in any traditional sense, just "haunting" if anything, but I consider them more emotional than anything.
@@WorldDstroyer That's what Silent Hill is to me. Not really scary so much as emotional. Horrifying in a lot deeper manner than a monster ever could be
my mum passed away 3 weeks ago. this song and betrayal is basically how it felt when i got the news. it was midnight and i just sat on my brothers bed unable to say anything. silent hill has always been a massive comfort for me and its pretty ironic that room of angel from sh4 describes my relationship with my mum perfectly.
Hearing this while trying to find the right door in the looping hallway was actual insanity in my first playthrough. I truly felt like I could not find an exit out of this maddening realization that James was going through.
played this in my headphones while walking out of the gym at around 8pm and while calling my dad to see if he can give me a ride it started getting foggy with a handful of people outside. i have to walk about 1.5 km to get picked up since my dad is drinking again but while walking, the fog kept getting denser and the people fewer and fewer untill there was no one around, even as im going trough old town which is full of caffees, bars and restaurants, where you can find someone asking for a smoke even in -15 weather, now there is nothing and everything is still. no wind, no distant car driving by, no dogs barking or drunken laughs from the apartments above, just the sound of my boots stepping on the stone and gravel road. a solid 10 mins of this and its still the same, nothing, i was walking trough the main park now where the fog had gotten so thick i couldnt see more than 5m in front of me. i stopped for a moment to try and see or hear anything like a twig falling or branch swinging but everything was still, like they were too scared to move. only think i could make out were two far away red lights at the end of the road, my dads car. i got in and commented about all this fog, he just said "its not that bad" and started driving. we turned the corner and it was like a switch got flipped, cars driving around, people walking minding their own business, even passed two kids riding bikes. i dont know if this is some paranormal shit or the sleepless nights catching up to me, but to be completely honest, the whole thing was all strangely comforting to the point where i even walked slower then usual just to take it all in, maybe i should of called my dad and canceled just so i can enjoy that silence for a little bit longer. its 7.09am i should get some sleep, thanks for reading a dumb mans rant. (and sorry for my bad english)
That moment when you try hard to sleep but your conscience assumes that everyone hates you, that you ruined your life and that there is nothing else that can be done
this soundtrack is what the guilt would be if it was a song. It's like the all ambient scream's for James "your murderer,you killed her!!" Real terrifying.
I hope the feeling of this scene is not experienced by people. Not the whole "James euthanizing Mary" part, but the mental illness part. The wandering around with nowhere to go as you struggle to process anything around you. I've experienced a few such episodes in my life. Walking and not knowing what I'm doing or why. Miles and miles. With a destination (home) in mind, but nothing else. You've just gotta hope the walk clears your head, given the mental state. It's chilling how well this sequence captures that feeling.
That moment when you closest friends abandon you in the blink of an eye as if you were nothing to them. As if every ounce of care, loyalty, and love you put into trying to keep them happy was simply a dream.
@@Nizzydizzy08 I'm truly sorry you had to suffer the same fate, but continue forward and power through. Good things will come from your struggles. Maybe now or later, you never know.
Pain, constant depression and a great regret about the past that you will never be able to escape. That pain you feel is guilt, now you remember everything, where you were really to blame. And now you realize why you came to this place, you just want to be punished and finish what you started. Silent Hill 2 is a masterpiece.
Only gets worse if you think of it that way. I am still really young and only in grade 10 but I managed to make a lot out of grade 9 even thought I hated it at the first place. And I’m hoping to do the same for grade 10
When I was depressed I reflected on the situation telling myself "useless"... I won't say what happened back then, I'll just say that it all started by trying to defend my friend from the hate of another friend of mine but for doing that my friends stopped being my friends.. And always when I listen to this music... I realize that all this time it was my fault.
No matter what happens, you cannot let your feelings of regret and guilt keep you tethered to the past. You have to keep going and growing, because if you don't, you hinder yourself from potentially improving and not repeating the same mistakes.
I remember playing this game for the first time years ago and when i first found out "the truth" i cried. And this song perfectly captured what probably many people were feeling afterwards. Numb. Dissociated. In a trance. And people say video games cant be art. Something about how this game captures human emotions really makes it special...
Us at 1159 on December 31st, 2019: “omg new decade’s about to drop 🎉🥳🎊 let's make it a good one!” Us at 1159 on December 31st, 2024 (it hasn't been a good one):
The tone perfectly captures the mood, it's not as dark as the other tracks, slightly more upbeat almost like a relief/revelation but also still equally haunting and numbing at the same time.
I'm sorry you feel like this. I've been in your position before and it got better, then worse again, but at least I know now happiness is possible. Don't give up.
Did you notice how the hotel went from being lavishly furnished to decrepit and dilapidated? That's because he wasn't going further into delusion, he was going further into reality, as that's what the hotel actually looks like. Reality, specifically his revelation, is causing his confusion and madness, not the town itself. His revelation regarding his wife's death has traumatized him far more than anything in the town.
People don't even say bless you anymore, they just look at you like this.

Leave and come back bro, he never said you can't come back
Walking home from the gym at 11 PM in the snow with this in my earbuds really added to the vibe
A fine comment from John Thicc.
best song to listen to while having a mental breakdown
Voglio morire
indeed
I'm REAAALLLY CURIOUS as to how this scene will look like in the remake
I kind of have low expectations for it because fuck Konami, but they are bringing Akira Yamaoka and Masahiro Ito back for it, so maybe there's hope that it won't be awful.
@@WorldDstroyer I kinda share the same feeling as you especially after I saw the trailer but man I really wish they don't completely fuck it.
@@SubterraneanBruh That's what I hope as well, but tbh at this point I feel like the series has been one foot in the grave for so long thanks to Konami's greed and negligence that if it does turn out bad, it won't really be anything new for them. I just wish that, to compensate for if it is bad, they would actually make the original available on more platforms in a good form, and not the terrible "HD collection."
Layers of fear was a fail game with cringe scares and its the best game they done, arguably, so,
@@WorldDstroyer only time will tell. a lot of hardcore fans are complaining about the remake already mainly because of blooper but in the trailer it looks like they have done a very great job so far so the only thing is to stay hopeful for now
Lying to yourself then getting smacked in the face by the truth, as James did, has got to be one of the most horrible things you can experience. This masterpiece of a track portrays that feeling perfectly. Confusion, guilt and self-hatred all molded together
As a trans person i relate. For the longest time i denied myself my authenthic self, pretended to be someone im not because of the wishes of others and because i thought it would be easier and simpler that way. When i finally accepted the truth it was hard, i had my own Pyramid Head to fight, alongside so much doubt, fear and anxiety
@@shugafoo2847Did you detransition?
@@natalz4810 nah, he just looked in a mirror once and realized the truth. ACK!
@@natalz4810 nope.
You cannot outrun reality forever, eventually it will force you to accept it. You cannot live in a delusion forever.
How I thought being teenager is as a kid: Hanging out with your friends, getting a gf, first kiss, going to parties
Me as a teenager now on the verge of ending it as I'm stuck in a constant loop of emptiness:
I do all those things and Im still depressed. Try hiking instead.
real
Don’t worry. It only gets worse
I feel you man I don't have any friends either
@@derpyboss9255 Bro I'm sorry but you ain't getting any with that Telepurte pfp.
This somehow makes me calm but at the same time remember all the disturbing and dark bits of life
Silent Hill tracks really know how to interact with your mind
this song perfectly resembles the feeling of taking comfort in your depression
very true.
man you could not be more accurate with that
exactlyyyy
real
@@adven4615thank you for writing this instead of me. There is no comfort in depression indeed. Cold and pain just eventually switch to void and feeling of absence covered in a grey noise. It is not comfort. It is a state of invocation of death. Seeking for help from the others is strongly suggested, as it becomes increasingly difficult to break out by oneself.
When you sneeze while home alone and someone says "bless you"
😂
Incredible how Akira Yamaoka was able to capture absolute grief and hopelessness in a single track. The flooded hotel segment would not hit nearly as hard without this
I know this is suppossed to be scary, but this honestly just sounds so hauntingly beautiful to me. Spiritual in a way too for some reason.
I don't think scary is the right word. I didn't feel scared when this played. I just felt in dread and shock. I didn't want to accept what happened.
This is the sound of rumination. Droning noises of doubts, the feeling of helplessness, anxiety, guilt, frustration, and ultimately, despair. The incoherent stream of thoughts signaling you've reached rock bottom. The uncovering of your own lies as the truth becomes undeniable.
I've been like this for over a week now, this song sympathizes with me, so I don't feel alone.
I feel ya buddy. This song always drones in my head when I'm struggling, and I oft come back to this place
imagine that you go to hell and hear this sound and that your fate will never change
🫥
Hey, I hope you’ve been doing better. Just know, no matter what; you’ll never be truly alone.
To be honest this is one of the best ambience in the game
Me when bro doesn’t show up to class:
me when my veteran friend graduated from college and I studied alone
When that one loud kid finally graduates and you realize just how empty the school is without him:
Am i the only one who thinks this music is beautiful and not scary at all?
No you're not. I don't find any of Silent Hill's music scary in any traditional sense, just "haunting" if anything, but I consider them more emotional than anything.
@@WorldDstroyer That's what Silent Hill is to me. Not really scary so much as emotional. Horrifying in a lot deeper manner than a monster ever could be
It's not scary, it's just really tragic and anguish-sounding
It's not that it's scary... it's that it gives off bad vibes.
@@66Heinkelit’s not bad vibes it’s the frequency it imbues sadness regret it makes you think
The only thing in life that I enjoy anymore is dreaming.
Silent Hill 2 is nothing but perfection.
Pretty much. It's one of the only modern artistic releases that truly deserves the title of 'masterpiece'. It is a monumental achievement.
It's eerie yet kinda satisfying to listen to.

so horrifyingly beautiful, never heard a song capture the unique feeling of an experience like this.
"Life will be so amazing when I become an adult!"
Life if I was an adult:
my mum passed away 3 weeks ago. this song and betrayal is basically how it felt when i got the news. it was midnight and i just sat on my brothers bed unable to say anything. silent hill has always been a massive comfort for me and its pretty ironic that room of angel from sh4 describes my relationship with my mum perfectly.
very sorry for your loss.
Skill issue tbh
But also sorry for your loss hope you will recover❤
I'm glad
Hearing this while trying to find the right door in the looping hallway was actual insanity in my first playthrough. I truly felt like I could not find an exit out of this maddening realization that James was going through.
The right song for a "what have i done" moment
How your 20s feel like.
played this in my headphones while walking out of the gym at around 8pm and while calling my dad to see if he can give me a ride it started getting foggy with a handful of people outside. i have to walk about 1.5 km to get picked up since my dad is drinking again but while walking, the fog kept getting denser and the people fewer and fewer untill there was no one around, even as im going trough old town which is full of caffees, bars and restaurants, where you can find someone asking for a smoke even in -15 weather, now there is nothing and everything is still. no wind, no distant car driving by, no dogs barking or drunken laughs from the apartments above, just the sound of my boots stepping on the stone and gravel road. a solid 10 mins of this and its still the same, nothing, i was walking trough the main park now where the fog had gotten so thick i couldnt see more than 5m in front of me. i stopped for a moment to try and see or hear anything like a twig falling or branch swinging but everything was still, like they were too scared to move. only think i could make out were two far away red lights at the end of the road, my dads car. i got in and commented about all this fog, he just said "its not that bad" and started driving. we turned the corner and it was like a switch got flipped, cars driving around, people walking minding their own business, even passed two kids riding bikes. i dont know if this is some paranormal shit or the sleepless nights catching up to me, but to be completely honest, the whole thing was all strangely comforting to the point where i even walked slower then usual just to take it all in, maybe i should of called my dad and canceled just so i can enjoy that silence for a little bit longer.
its 7.09am i should get some sleep, thanks for reading a dumb mans rant. (and sorry for my bad english)
now that sounds like a good start to a sh game
That moment when you try hard to sleep but your conscience assumes that everyone hates you, that you ruined your life and that there is nothing else that can be done
this soundtrack is what the guilt would be if it was a song. It's like the all ambient scream's for James "your murderer,you killed her!!"
Real terrifying.

How full of existential terror and uncertain calm do you want in this this song?
Silent hill 2: Yes.
I hope the feeling of this scene is not experienced by people. Not the whole "James euthanizing Mary" part, but the mental illness part. The wandering around with nowhere to go as you struggle to process anything around you. I've experienced a few such episodes in my life. Walking and not knowing what I'm doing or why. Miles and miles. With a destination (home) in mind, but nothing else. You've just gotta hope the walk clears your head, given the mental state.
It's chilling how well this sequence captures that feeling.
What walking to school with foggy weather feels like
Soundtrack of my life since 18
Thanks for the reupload, this really is the better version.
No problem.
Fr
the eerie essence is so comforting
soundtrack of my life ever since february of '22
A song that describes the feeling. Such as feelings of shock, sadness, anger, loneliness, and betrayal from those close to you.
One of the most depressing song I've ever heard in a video game. Very powerful.
That moment when you closest friends abandon you in the blink of an eye as if you were nothing to them. As if every ounce of care, loyalty, and love you put into trying to keep them happy was simply a dream.
It fucking sucks:(
It’s crazy isn’t it
I had that a month ago. 7 years gone in a brink.
@@Nizzydizzy08 I'm truly sorry you had to suffer the same fate, but continue forward and power through. Good things will come from your struggles. Maybe now or later, you never know.
@@Temmaster365 Thanks man.
When your about to go to sleep but you see the sun
Pain, constant depression and a great regret about the past that you will never be able to escape. That pain you feel is guilt, now you remember everything, where you were really to blame. And now you realize why you came to this place, you just want to be punished and finish what you started. Silent Hill 2 is a masterpiece.
“Your teenage years are the best times of your life”
My teenage years:
Yeah it doesn't get any better. I'm 28.
Only gets worse if you think of it that way. I am still really young and only in grade 10 but I managed to make a lot out of grade 9 even thought I hated it at the first place. And I’m hoping to do the same for grade 10
This song felt super surreal and eerie especially after seeing the tape.
It really gave off that feeling of “You f*cked up/you are all alone”
When I was depressed I reflected on the situation telling myself "useless"...
I won't say what happened back then, I'll just say that it all started by trying to defend my friend from the hate of another friend of mine but for doing that my friends stopped being my friends..
And always when I listen to this music... I realize that all this time it was my fault.
went through the same shit and now i have 3 friends max
No matter what happens, you cannot let your feelings of regret and guilt keep you tethered to the past. You have to keep going and growing, because if you don't, you hinder yourself from potentially improving and not repeating the same mistakes.
I remember playing this game for the first time years ago and when i first found out "the truth" i cried. And this song perfectly captured what probably many people were feeling afterwards. Numb. Dissociated. In a trance.
And people say video games cant be art. Something about how this game captures human emotions really makes it special...
I really hope they keep it in the remake

After playing Silent hill 2 this stuck in my head, there's something eerie yet so intriguing about it.
Looked up “that one silent hill song” and this immediately came up thanks
Me seeing the past, present and future when the cashier asks "would you like a bag with that?": "nah"
This piece of music is utterly the most hopeless and depressing music I've heard in a long time
Glad remakes keeps the ost
It's already too perfect, would be a bad decision to remake it.
@@Riley_MDS true,most of yamaoka are too perfect to be remixed so just only reused like this one
Was actually going crazy when I heard this
The OST is pretty much the greatest piece of music ever composed for a video game, it would have been madness to replace it for any reason
@@EndOfSmallSanctuary97 so true
People dont even say hi back anymore, they just stop and look at you like this.
The tone perfectly captures the mood, it's not as dark as the other tracks, slightly more upbeat almost like a relief/revelation but also still equally haunting and numbing at the same time.
This song describes pretty good how i feel inside right now (I have no friends and i am lonely)
same
Yo también estoy en las mismas
I'd be really happy if all of us in this comments section became friends. We all need someone, let's do it for each other.
Me too
I'm sorry you feel like this. I've been in your position before and it got better, then worse again, but at least I know now happiness is possible. Don't give up.
I love this song, its just nothing. No ups, no downs, no beats. Just an atmosphere of emptyness and depression
Did you notice how the hotel went from being lavishly furnished to decrepit and dilapidated?
That's because he wasn't going further into delusion, he was going further into reality, as that's what the hotel actually looks like.
Reality, specifically his revelation, is causing his confusion and madness, not the town itself.
His revelation regarding his wife's death has traumatized him far more than anything in the town.
WE GETTIN OUT THE HOTEL WITH THIS ONE🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
WE SMOTHERING OUR FUTURE WIVES WITH THIS ONE🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
This song to me makes me think of suffocation. Not only by guilt, but also by slowly losing consciousness while being fully aware what is happening
Average "getting sick" experience:
I’m in bed rn with a stuffy nose it sucks
Trueee, when I got a heavy fever once, I felt like how this songs plays, it's nothing but dread
I’m in bed rn with a stuffy nose 😭
this sounds like watching a distant nostalgic memory play out before your eyes
The adult life theme
This is so real
