i love you for that purple rain riff
I love new songs in ror2 however i wish there is an option for ror1 soundtracks in ror2 settings
beautiful tracks man ;u;
Thank you a thousand for putting all the songs up on spotify
God you are like half the reason ROR is so good.

Chris casually making a 7 minute long banger of a song for a game where you want to leave a level as fast as possible
That’s kinda based tbf
I usually got to the level where this plays on the 30-45th minute and hang around to loot and activate drones cuz difficulty can't increase at that point
@@Sluggyduggyquackquack really? Never knew that. Thx

The guitar in this speaks to me on a spiritual level.
It so does man! There is so much feeling in this song I love it
How do you know it's not an electric Ukulele. ;)
This whole song speaks to me on a spiritual level
It's from "Purple Rain" by Prince, such a dope tribute to such a phenomenal artist!

@@AstronautDown Now that you mentioned names, what does "Terra Pluviam" mean?
@@crsorsmth9951 It literally means Land of Rain, or Rainy Land. But there's a very esoteric reason for this title that has to do with the ending of the piece.

The fact Sky Meadows is a guaranteed stage, which means this song will always play in a normal run, makes the world a better place.

My buddies and I all play in a DND party once a week. One of them adores this track and tries to stuff it into the music bot during our sessions whenever he can, and while we don’t hate the song, it never fits, so we usually kick it out. However, after finishing a particularly grueling story arc, he decided to put this on once more as a finishing touch as our characters descended a hill at dusk. It…felt amazing. Wonderful track, Chris.

Bruh, let me join you, literally nobody I know likes DnD and it sucks being the only fan.

When I heard the riff at 4:48 in game, the homage to Prince's Purple Rain made me tear up. I looked up this song and the name didn't dissapoint.
At all
Nice, just listened to Prince - Purple Rain and came here to check if that's indeed the same riff. By your comment, it turns out it is!
Btw, huge fan, loved you on "On the Line"!
I went into this game fairly blind, and words could not describe how stressed I got being in sky meadow for the first time. Tons of enemies, a couple enemies I hadn't seen yet, and a giant yellow man with several arms and a ring for a head on the other side of the map. And the one thing that calmed me down was the music. Holy shit this music. Hell, all the music in this game. Really glad I decided to check this game out, it was well worth it.
Nice
Exactly how I felt when I first started. One of the best games I've ever bought
I couldnt even enjoy the music when I first entered Sky Meadow. Got Blasted by a yellow guy instantly
First time running through as bandit getting absolutely eviscerated by a grandparent was quite the experience
yeah. the game is amazing. i went in blind as well, and was instantly hooked on both gameplay and straight up fire of a soundtrack. i snapped back to reality 70 mins into my first run and was like... wait what? i was playing how long?? what?? 10/10
being attacked by a giant lizard, a giant headless yellow man, a floating metal egg, and three balzing giant worms has never been this chill...you sir deserve more recognition, same as sir Mick Gordon.
dont forget that one wisp sniper that you swear you have already killed but keeps appearing and getting a lucky potshot at you
What's a yellow headless man?

@@velvetdraws3452 ah thanka
Chris, I've been gaming for the better part of 20 years of my 30 years of age, and i can wholeheartedly say this is one of the very fucking best soundtracks i've ever listened to. It captivated me the first time I heard it, to the point where it actually changed my playstyle in Stage5 from a symbol-of-chaos-murder-tornado style to a "wow these clouds are beautiful, damn life is great" kind of playstyle. Very, very few songs/soundtracks have the power to change how I feel, let alone how I play games. It's artists like you that keep gaming relevant for us grown up gamers, sometimes. Thank you for your art and for this masterpiece especially.
Thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot! Also, thanks for making me feel extra old ;)

Chris is singlehandedly the reason that Sky Meadow is my favorite stage. The massive expanse of the area would not feel anywhere near as cool without this song playing in the background.
Exactly this, Sky Meadow is the best stage in the game, both because of its atmosphere and this song

Picked up Risk of Rain 2 a couple of days ago going in completely blind, amazed by the game I made my way to sky meadow stage. Realised it’s 1am, I’m zooming round the map still fresh to the game, facing golden giants and lumerian elders while this incredible track is playing through my headphones. One of the best gaming experiences I’ve had in a long while, thanks for creating such a powerful song 🤙🏼

Sadly never followed that dream and became a programmer, but I'm really glad that game composers are getting more recognition and love these days.
People are finally respecting the art. Amazing ost Chris, thanks for the music.

@Reshiitelni I read that in a book there was some sort of secret code.
Yo Chanson d'Automne is my favorite track from the first game. It's hard to articulate the way the first listen of this felt. Indisputably one of the best tracks on the soundtrack, and a perfect re imagining of the track that captivated me all the way back in 2014. Hard to believe how far this series has come.
Your profile picture looks familiar. Is that Quote? Maybe during the End Credits sequence?
Also after reading your comment, I 100% agree
Risk of Rain was an amazing game and seeing it and it’s classic soundtrack reimagined is even more amazing.

That's the Purple Rain guitar solo part.
Yo, that Purple Rain riff is nothing short of goddamn genius. Props
First comment I’ve seen after scrolling for a while that even mentions the riff.
Surprised more people didn’t notice
literally 6 4 5 progression but okay 👍

@@KibatsuMusic clearly hasnt heard purple rain. listen to the piano right after...still purple rain
@@AstronautDown nothing wrong with simple chords at all 😂 this song SLAPS
My mother immediately picked out the inspiration from Purple Rain in this. I hear her from the kitchen "Is that Purple Rain?!"
Many players' parents are in tune with the music. Probably because we're of similar age :)

@@kdan555 Lmao, good one

just wanted to let you know Chris that i just finished my dissertation for my undergraduate degree and I listened to this track on repeat for 18 hours while writing - it's just that good.
I hope the music had a positive effect! Best of luck with it!
How'd it go?

I was searching for ages for this song. Funnily found it.
Brings tears to my eyes
Was it really that hard to find? I'm genuinely curious.
“You have 6 minutes left to live, what do you wanna do”
“Let me listen to purple one last time”
“But that’s 8 minutes long”
Death : No no I can wait
I enjoyed this.
And it was on that day that the entire world headbanged
Life has a way of making time for the things that are most important to you.
but it's 8 :(
Nominated this game in the steam awards for the best soundtrack award and I wanna let you know its 100% all you baybee, this song is just a masterpiece IMO.
Thank you!

I didn't know the name of the song for a whole week after hearing. But it game me nostalgia for my mom. So when I finally heard the name, I legit shed a tear. My mom was a massive prince fan and listened to purple rain every Sunday before church. Thx Chris for the nostalgia trip.😊
Cool
True story: Working at a country club yesterday, spent all night cooking away in the kitchen without knowing what was going on outside (it was an extra extra busy night). My shift ended at 1130 and I walk outside only to hear Purple Rain's guitar solo. For a solid 10 seconds I swear someone was playing this song rather than Purple Rain at the concert. Either way, very happy I listened to this right after on repeat as I drove home
Just bought the soundtrack on steam, gonna listen to this when I go out on my walks.
Thank you for the support! Enjoy the music and your walks!
Chris Christodoulou hehee
You mean runs
This seriously gave me the chills. I was in the heat of playing and not really paying attention to the backgroundmusic, as I suddenly hear some very familiar chords and sounds. "this sound quite familiar" I thought, but couldn´t put my finger on it. Reduced SFX to 0% and set music to 100% and then it hit me - this is a new Chanson D´Automne. I got the chills a few more times, Chanson D´Automne was BY FAR my favorite song from ror1 and now hearing this new "version" is like gaming-christmas for me. It´s fantastic.
This got tears in my eyes haha. Chanson is one of my favorites songs for ror (actually I listen to it on Spotify all the time too, anyway...). And only after reading your comment I finally saw the connection between em.
Thanks, Arno! =)
This is actually remixed with Purple Rain by Prince
Same for me ! Con lentidum poderosa hit me when I realized I knew the song :D
I absolutely 100% agree with you!!!! The first time I heard this in ror2 made me literally cry. Chanson D'Automne was my favourite song from ror1 as well and this just puts it up to a level that I can't even comprehend it. It's perfect.
I remember having about the same chill when music from dark souls 3 last boss transitioned into gwyn's theme on the second half
Though not nearly as strong as a chill from these musics
This just brought memories of when my friend and I played this game a lot. He sadly passed recently, but we always said this was the best song.
damn.
Sorry for your loss buddy
Hope ur doing ok 🫂
Sorry for your lost.
The hydrous precipitation formerly attributed with a descriptor and/or pseudonym of the colour which combines, in equal parts, red and blue.
Stop, reconsider, and enjoy this masterpiece, brother.
The weather phenomenon in which the water (in gaz form) that constitutes clouds condesates and then falls onto the earth precedently having been assigned with the word belonging in the grammar class of "adjectives" and describing the perception of light by the animal known as humans when its wavelength is situated below 460 nanometers or so.
@Anden Wilkinsonyou don't need help. You have this song.
Actually if you combined red and blue in equal parts you'd have pink, purple is more blue than red.
Why'd this happen? Because blue is brighter than red so it dominates
The event in meteorology where precipitation happens within a group of H20 particles in it's gaseous form, vapor, where it condensates within clouds resulting in H20 droplets that become negatively buoyant within the atmosphere and descends to the surface of the planet, namely Sol-3; which heretofore was associated with the wavelength of light that is perceived by the oculus of biological creatures, namely homo sapiens, who have given a name that recognizes it's assignment to what homo sapiens call color; the color being defined as the wavelength of approximately 380 - 450 nm, with a frequency of 790-666 THz within the spectrum of visible light that humans can perceive.
You should get an actual guitar instead of playing with the strings of my heart
Ha!
smooth, but not as smooth as this song
Nah, Chris makes the strings of your heart sound better than any guitar ever could.
Damn thats one smooth line 👌
No not a Guitar but a commando plush grinding that ukelele
Damn... It's like the imstruments are speaking to eachother in this song. To me it sounds like the synths is going through a tough time of some sort. Other instruments come in the song and try to give it support but don't succeed. Then everything goes quite for a moment... and the electic guitar comes in to give the synths support it needed. The synths become louder and more joyful. I can even hear the guitar telling the synths "Hey! You're doing great!" as they both start to play together like two close friends singing their favourite song. As everything starts to get quite the synths have changed, they're much louder, mighter, and more beautiful. It sounds like it's thanking the guitar for helping them change for the better.
i felt this
music is a language heard but not spoken through the mouth instead it speaks through a soul and a instrument
idk man thats pretty cringe.
@@donaldolivier6786 if you dont like it then leave, let people enjoy what they want and express how they see music
Sharing how one feels about anything, let alone art, is a vulnerability not all feel comfortable with.
It's a shame since this reaction is probably out of a subconscious desire on their part to also be able to open up about things they love. But it's ok, this is a level of maturity that (hopefully) comes in different stages on everyone's life. So we'll wait it out :)

When I was in Sky Meadows, I was like.. "Why does this sound like Purple Rain but not"? Now it makes sense
Honestly, the best part of Chris is that he's just so chill, occasionally responding to comments and such. He could be like, "Yeah, I made this kickass soundtrack, now bow to me while I disregard your existence, pleb." But no, I can tell he knows that people come for the music, but stay for the man and I'm all for that! Keep, rocking, Chris!

such a masterpiece of a song.
I'm not bullshitting when I say I've had this on repeat for 4 days. This is the soundtrack of my life now.
You know what's a complete mindfuck I never noticed until now? Chanson D'Autumn is "foreground" layer of the song because it's Sky Meadows. The "baclground" of the song is the main leitmotifs in the themes of Risk of Rain 1and 2 played slower depending on the game you are playing. Intentional or not, that's brilliant.
You're starting to scare me. Whatever is next, I'm there.
Can you please give some examples for the background part and the leitmotifs with timestamps? I've been trying to listen but just can't pinpoint the parts and which they reference.
@@Wumpanaattori Listen to Chanson D' Autumne from Risk of Rain 1 soundtrack first then come back to this you will get what he is saying

in a year that gave us a remake of a game with a highly acclaimed soundtrack, multiple rhythm games, a prequel to breath of the wild, a new animal crossing game, and hades, this is one of the songs of 2020 i constantly come back to. i do not know how popular this game's music is, but this deserves as much attention as any well known mario or zelda song, if not more. god damn, this is so groovy.
me: pass the aux cord
friend: you better not play trash
me: *plays "The Rain Formerly Known as Purple" on max volume*
Ez lol
Party: *cries moved tears*
*cat swing arms in the air*
This song is everything you would want for a long roadtrip
This song is so good it consistently makes me cry. I haven’t found any other song so peaceful that also hits so hard, love the work
Why can't I listen to this music without crying? Especially towards the ending, holly molly
when that guitar kicks in, i ascend. every. single. time. i absolutely love this track.. can’t stop coming back to it💙
I just put this song for an hour on loop, great ost, thanks for making it
Thank you for listening :)
Sky meadow is my favorite stage not only because it's a large open area with a metric ton of chests, but mostly because of this song. This is my favorite song from any game OST, and definitely in my top 5 favorite songs of all time. Insanely good shit
Its really cool that this soundtrack came with a free game.
Christodoulou will always be one of if not the most respectable artists out there- mans even responded to me in highschool when I emailed him about my aspirations to become a composer
Truly one of the greatest tracks in the gaming industry. That riff gets me every damn time.
Just noticed that this is the exact same length as the official Purple Rain. Chris never ceases to amaze me.
My first time hearing this music, I was on a run with pretty good items, and I waltzed into this new stage called "sky meadows," then I immediately got one shot by an elder lemurian. All I could think was - damn, I want to hear the rest of that song, and then I clicked play again.
Lol
That's how it usually goes, into the pit once again
theres over 1 million words in the english language and yet no combination of them can describe how much of
a banger this is
A bit more than a million, yet you still have a correct point
@@bug_stonkin_wess1221 yes that's why they said "over 1 million"?
Listening to purple rain has enlightened me to the meaning of this
After over 2 years of listening to this once in a while and never getting tired of it, I want to leave a comment to thank you, Chris, for giving us this gem along with all of the other incredible music you’ve made. I’ve always been a fan of video game music more than any other more “normal” music, but I feel like unlike the music from other games, the music from Risk of Rain 2 is able to transcend that barrier. The amount of effort you put in to make your compositions feel alive makes it so that even someone who avoids video games entirely would be able to appreciate them and the level of emotion that you’re able to inject into them. There really is no composer in the industry that does it as well as you, and I hope that you continue to be successful and are able to have this level of passion in the music you create in the future, whatever it may be for.
"trancend the barrier" is the absolute perfect way to say that. all i can say when i listen to this song is it makes you elevate beyond what you are now and it just feels incredible. i blast my headphones at full volume to this song. there is no other experience like it.
It's crazy how much of an impact the soundtrack makes on the games overall feel of quality. Risk of Rain 1 had such a great soundtrack and I'm so glad they brought you back for the second. Simply amazing
if making good music was a punishable offense, chris has undoubtedly escalated to absolutely horrendous intergalactic wartime atrocities.
Google asked me how fun this video was, i rated it extremely fun, because we're risking our rain with this one
Spotify somehow let me favourite this song twice. I'm not complaining.
That guitar riff reaches my soul in a way very few songs do
Hey Chris! In all of my years of TH-cam, I have never commented on anything before, but after a long time of listening to this, I have decided to break my years long silence just to tell you that this is an absolutely incredible piece of music. I am rarely ever truly moved by music, but this song still moves me even after listening to it for so long. It’s been months since I have last played RoR2, but even now I still listen to this song to calm myself down after stressful nights. I know you get these compliments a lot, but I still really wanted to let you know that this song (along with a lot of your other music) holds a special place in my heart! :)
Thank you for the kind words but most of all thank you for your bravery! #breakthesilence
This man is the reason why I bought this game
The best soundtrack to my favourite game of 2020. This is magnificent.
Thanks!
You ever just listen to a soundtrack and instantly know it’s going to be something your going to look back on with heavy nostalgia and warm memories?
Because this soundtrack is one of those, brilliant upon the first listen, just as good after.
whenever i hear 3:18 I just think about running around the stage and seeing chaos around me while still being completely calm because of the music. this is a masterpiece.
This feels like the culmination of the existence of the electric guitar from its invention to now
You know you had a good run so far if you hear this Gem. Love this stage theme so much, just heaven 😌
Was playing this game for the first time a couple weeks ago with friends and got to this level and was like "this guitar riff sounds familiar." Now i know why haha. A fitting tribute to one of the GOATS. Amazing OST!
A tribute to the Third Hokage with this song blaring in the background would be dope.
