I like that Gav was able to almost replicate the same style that bastion gives off. It's got that mysteriously plonky style that is unique to Bastion. and it's the style that made me fall in love with the game, so I'm very pleased with this piece.
miracleofsound I'm not sure if you ever played any of Fallout: New Vegas's DLC, but Calamity fits the "Lonesome Road" DLC perfectly, like scarily so. :D
Wow. I came across this completely by accident. I don't play video games much and I've never even heard of Bastion, (I was actually trying to find Calamity Song by the Decemberists) but I must say the song is just amazing. Is Miracle of Sound a band?
Actually, it's really cool, there, because it's that, but layered with that is the beginning of the song, as if everything's started over. It's kind of like how the song 'Setting Sail, Coming Home,' references lines Rucks says in both endings.
That's not the only part. "You can't fix a broken heart is a couple of days, so bring it back or start anew." The bit about a broken heart is about Zulf, since the Calamity happened on the night of his Bachelor's Party. Bringing it back or starting anew is pretty obvious, though.
@@luminozero Zulf is not the only one broken hearted here. Everyone is. Zia: betrayed by her Boyfriend which forced her father to start the Calamity. Rucks: can't do anything but watch what he's trying to protect to get destroyed. And the biggest loser: The Kid: mocked by his own people, worked in what is essentially hell to help his sickly mother, returns to find his mother dead and his money missing. Signs up for another tour of duty in hell (which no one signs up for twice), falls in love but then the calamity takes that love away as well. Did the Kid complain? Never.
I like this. Thinking about it, though, that could be a neutral statement. Even if you reset, it's just going to be another calamity--which perhaps implies you shouldn't go that way, but not necessarily. Food for thought.
"Listen, all this takes a lot of getting used to, and you do get used to it, after a while." "There's three things i'll always miss though." "One, not always having to watch my step all the time." "Two... Well forget about two." "And three, i miss the songs." "Folks from Caelondia knew how to carry a tune." "Sure we got some songs on the old gramophone, but trying to imagine how they sounded like, playing to a room full of fine people; unwinding at the sole regret of a hard day's work." "Those were the days...."
You know that Gavin is and amazing youtuber for three reasons. One, you never see a negative comment on his videos. Second, everyone refers to him as Gavin, not miracleofsound. Third, every song has amazing and very well suited praise along with it.
You know that's actually true, I have NEVER seen anyone say anything bad about any of his songs, which just maked it even more surprising that he doesn't have more subscribers than he does!
I don't really think it fits into any genre but if you like this song check out early Bjork albums, Sleeping Satellite by Tasmin Archer or Survive by Seal, they were some of the influences for it :)
I've had this song stuck in my head for WEEKS now. The exact same thing happened with the song in the game itself of the Singer character... I guess this says two things: 1. Bastion songs are always earworm-quality if they're good. 2. You're as good as the people that made the original soundtrack. Keep it up, MiracleOfSound!
Sometimes I listen to Gav's old stuff and it makes it clear how far he's come as a musician. Then sometimes you stumble across an old straight-up masterpiece, that showcases how clever his lyrics are, and how he can simultaneously channel the soul of his subject while laying his own take on it over the top.
Zver Zverot Never going to happen. The vague world of bastion is on purpose to have a sense of wonder and mysticalness. It's like visiting an alien world and being given a history lesson and geography lesson, compared to visiting an alien world and be given the chance to explore and discover the wonders of it.
I like to imagine cloudbank from transistor is the bastion. And the transistor's cradle was the monument. Just a little imaginary thingamabob. I also like to believe that the old guy (grant kendrell) is the offspring of someone from "The Kid" because he was FUCKING WHITE HAIR........
When I subscribed, I thought you would only do songs for mainstream games, which I wasn't too angry with. But seeing that you made this song (for such an underrated game) with the passion and feelings you bring about in your voice, I really am glad I subscribed to you. TL;DR Please keep making more gems like these, so that I can keep liking and favouriting :D
I have to say, this definitely tells it all. ***POTENTIAL SPOILERS*** It really makes me wish there were some kind of media (graphic novel, regular novel, animated featurette) detailing some of their adventures after the 'move on' ending. I mean, seeing the Bastion all covered in sails and everyone just sort of working (Zulf washing dishes was especially poignant for me for some reason) made me think of something out of Miyazaki, particularly Howl's Moving Castle. Wouldn't have to be another game or some grand adventure. Just a slice-of-life style setting of everyone just... living in this new world, and what discoveries they make. I dunno, may just be me. But my decision to 'start anew' at the end of the game, as well as saving a particularly unsavory person, just made me want to see more adventures with the Kid, Zia, Zulf, Rucks, and the various critters they picked up along the way. Aaaaand... now I have to go play it again. >.>
ocarinageek I personally like to think we don't get to know whats out their to allow us to Create our own world in our imagination. I like to believe that The group isnt the only ones still out there and there are plenty of people who Survived the cataclysm and the kid finds them one day whilst hunting and they join and from their the bastion becomes a small town. And eventually a large town. Than a city and its exactly what it was to begin with The bastion humanity needed.
KoJeTsCorner Well, in my head there were already other towns out there. I mean, a large portion of the Ura survived. Who's to know what's beyond the borders of Caelondia? I feel like the Bastion would be little more than a tiny floating speck among what could be out there. It's not large enough for much more than the four living there, plus their little zoo. But with Supergiant's art direction and storytelling, I could just imagine several new colorful towns, with their own stories, morals, and reactions to the Calamity. Which (again) immediately makes me think of Miyazaki. Could be a fun little romp, and then just end with them sailing off again. No need for a "final resolution" or anything. Just more of the group, I guess.
This song is amazing id say its a mixed bag of all sorts of treats theres a lot to it but the whole groove of how the song flows sounds like a western because of all the minor keys the progressions use but then it ascends to a major key for the chorus, which gives it a more poppy sound. the awesome thing about this song is that it takes the best parts of multiple genres sounds and combines them to make something new. as someone who studies and plays lots of music this song makes me so passionate
This one is my new favorite of yours. Another example of how your music perfectly captures the very vibe and atmosphere of the game and expands it into a whole new plane. Can't really express how much I love your music. Thank you so much. Your music makes my day every time.
This is going on the Supergiant forums, they need to hear this! You're a supremely talented individual Gavin, and you deserve a shot at making some music for a game. 90 percent of your tunes are better than the games OST, and the ones that aren't are damn close. I'll be darned if they make a sequel of Bastion and one of these tracks aren't in it!
Ever since i heard this song, i had this game on the 'i really should get around to it'-list. I finally did (upon hearing the song again, obviously) and Holy Shit. Not only did it not disappoint, as in, it actually lives up to this song. The song also becomes so much more brilliant when you have the game in your head.
wanna hear a story? I was watching Breaking bad, and Hank, while speaking to Walt, mentions that something is a "Calamity". Anyway, this made me remember this song that you made Gavin, which in turn made me remember the time I tried out the Bastion demo on the Xbox. Which in turn made me buy Bastion off of steam :D So yeah... that's how I ended up with Bastion on my laptop, hope I have fun. By the way, I am a little drunk xD Keep making the amazing music Gavin! And love what you do!
This song came out when I was experiencing really hard part of my life and you can say it saved me. Now after all these years I am always coming back when I feel low and desperate. It always help me. Thank you Gav for I think I am not the only one you are helping to overcome hard obstacles in life.
I love that you kept the style of music from the game, as well as singing like the narrator. Keep up the good work, you are truly one of the few good "game" musicians out there.
I saw your interview on Desert Bus, and it was this song that convinced me to pick up some of your music. I bought Level 1, Level 2, and this single and I'm loving all of it. Keep up the great work!
this song is great, especially the part at the end, when I first heard the lines 'turning back is bound to be just another calamity', I just got a shiver running up my spine, that line really encapsules the ending of the game, this song diserves the highest praises I can give it, which, unfortunatly, is just two thumbs way up.
Same, stumbled on commander Shepard a year ago and have brought all his albums since. Great music that always keeps me interested due to the massive variety in genres!
My first encounter with Miracle of Sound was at the end of Bastion, when this song played with the credits. This is still one of my favourites, and not just because of the nostalgia.
I always liked the theory that when we start anew it doesn't stop the calamity from happening and we have to start the game again and do it all again until we finally decide to move on.
I mean that's pretty much blatantly stated by the game. When you go back everyone forgets everything, as stated by the old man. Meaning none of the lessons they learned that would have prevented the Calamity actually matter. Also the line "maybe I'll see you in the next one" is a blatant statement that this is a time loop and the old guy's figured it out. Not much of a theory, it's basically canon.
Al Capwn Not necessarily. Rucks has no idea how to prevent the Calamity, stating that (as far as he knows) knowledge doesn't carry between loops. So if he's wrong (and knowledge does carry): it hasn't looped yet, in which case: all bets are off. Or he's right (knowledge doesn't carry) and it's fundamentally impossible to be sure. "I'll see you in the next one" is indeed a statement implying Rucks assumes (is beginning to accept, it might be) a time-loop. But the 'maybe' is a factor here. Not even he knows. "maybe I'll see you in the next one" is no more proof of a time-loop as the statement "he's in a better place now" is proof of the existence of heaven.
I've loved this song since you first released it, and have spent a long time listening to it on repeat. Today, though, it struck me just how much this song applies to my life right now, and personal growth in general. Thanks Gav, for everything you do.
Vaughn Monger WELL. Seeing as the soundtrack of Transistor pretty much describes the plot and the game, it almost does that on it's own. Hard to top that OST.
I'm guessing if Gavin did a song for Transistor it'd be from the lover's POV. I guess he could get someone to do female vocals (for Red), but then it wouldn't really be _his_ song, would it? Well, actually, if he could do a collaboration with Ashley Barrett (the voice of Red in the game) for a Transistor song, that would be flipping awesome.
iv been following you for many years, but only discovered this song maybe a few months ago, and honestly this is one of your best. that spunky feel in there gives song almost a snarky attitude, but the chorus feels like it has humility. i dont know nothing about this game, but i love that contrast of cocky/humility
I never played the game but this song makes me want to. You have so much talent and music skills, the lyrics are perfect. Every games should have your music in them.
Yes. Yes it is. Its narrative, the style of it all, it's so special and insanely beautiful. The gameplay itself perhaps isn't the best you can find, but everything around it more then makes up for it.
Just wanted to say, 'Thank you, Gav', for showing geeks all across the world that art, in its quality of multiplicity manages, can join what some years ago was unthinkable: music and videogames outside the format of a soundtrack. And, on a side note, a song of yours, 'She's gonna teach ya how to Rock N' Roll' has become a theme song of sorts to my very own other half. So, thank you, Gavin, very bloody much. And keep rocking very fucking much!
i have no idea how i didn't hear about you before, i just watched couple of your videos & iam amazed by your work. Its right on spot of the theme of the game, its almost like an official work from those games. i lack the words to describe how im in love with your songs.. you deserve much more credit & recognition for you efforts. Keep up the amazing work, looking forward to them!
Bastion was a good game with the single greatest soundtrack that I've ever heard. And as a Metal Head that played Brutal Legend that means something. Nice to see you giving it a tribute.
Dayummmmm, Gav, videos everyday for like the past three days. Im glad my friend introduced you to your awesome music. And hey man, keep up the awesome work.
Almost 5 years later and I still love this. That's why I love Gav's songs, they are always fresh and have a kind of magical spark into it. They shine like diamonds, and diamonds are forever.
Aw, man, I'm finding this *now?* I love this! It makes me imagine a continuation after the Setting Sail ending with the difference between 'build that wall' and this song's 'build the road in front of you'. Amazing stuff.
I can't get over how fucking incredible this song is. You have outdone yourself again, Gav. I can guarantee that I'll be a big fan of yours for a long time, no matter what genre of music you decide to release :)
So before yesterday I never played Bastion. Saw it was on sale Thought "Okay Gavins song on it is amazing so lets give it a try" That game was amazing This song should be it's theme song

There are 9 voices layered in the chorus, and they're ALL MEEEEEE. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH EVIL LAUGH
And it's utterly gorgeous

Just wait until he goes on tour with his backing band of clones.
And it makes the song really hard to karaoke/cover. >:I

It was difficult not to be moved by the wonderful story in Bastion - it deserved a tribute :)

@@jolan_tru I still come back here after all this time
Over a decade and this remains firmly in my playlist and deep in my head

He literally does this with every song. It's insane.
Slikiboy Aw :) I love you guys! it's always a pleasure to make stuff that reminds you of your fave games
You're amazing man. Keep doing what you do because you have perfected it.
miracleofsound I'm not sure if you ever played any of Fallout: New Vegas's DLC, but Calamity fits the "Lonesome Road" DLC perfectly, like scarily so. :D

You might say he is MIRACULOUS :D
Crazy Spanish Guy
It oft seems that the Irish have a miraculous talent with song.
I'm rather inclined to agree.
Thanks for the comment :) I wouldn't make these songs if I didn't feel they stood up independent of the subject matter. Glad you dig it!

half u ever thought of making a team fortress 2 song? like something called gravel battles or something?

"The dead? The dead ain't gotta worry about this mess.

+Hissboomcreeper alt I think "the Sole Regret" was actually the name of the bar.
Almost 6 years later and I can't forget this song. It's truly wonderful

I love how you imprinted Bastion music style and even tried to recreate voice of Ruks.
I don't really think it fits into any genre but if you like this song check out early Bjork albums, Sleeping Satellite by Tasmin Archer or Survive by Seal, they were some of the influences for it :)
I finally played through Bastion recently, so I can finally appreciate just how faithful this song is to the game. Fantastic work.
Never even played Bastion and this is still one of my favorite songs.
you must play
And you must be the main character of that game. Hello.
Jack Fronz yep, i loved the game that much
its not too long, and well worth its price. a wonderful little game, with awesome music!
shhhhhhh. The Kid doesn't speak.
One of Gav's most beautiful sounding songs by far.
I've had this song stuck in my head for WEEKS now. The exact same thing happened with the song in the game itself of the Singer character... I guess this says two things:
1. Bastion songs are always earworm-quality if they're good.
2. You're as good as the people that made the original soundtrack. Keep it up, MiracleOfSound!
who is also here for the callbacks today, lads?
me!
@@friendlyneighborhoodinquis1682 The reference in his Hades song is so subtle yet long time fans can find it no problemo :D
@@user-eo2hk2it5i agreed. Calamity was always one of my favorites, I had a nerd freakout when I heard the callback lol

Then sometimes you stumble across an old straight-up masterpiece, that showcases how clever his lyrics are, and how he can simultaneously channel the soul of his subject while laying his own take on it over the top.
Anyone still listening? This song has yet to get old for me.
Still great
Aye.
Yep
Hell, I'm still here 6 more later!
Damn i would love a graphic novel or anything animated which depicts Bastion's story and after. Hope we get that some day.
Zver Zverot Never going to happen. The vague world of bastion is on purpose to have a sense of wonder and mysticalness. It's like visiting an alien world and being given a history lesson and geography lesson, compared to visiting an alien world and be given the chance to explore and discover the wonders of it.
Zver Zverot just kind of writing a novel could be fun or? i think it would feel even better than something graphical because u can imagine more
I like to imagine cloudbank from transistor is the bastion. And the transistor's cradle was the monument. Just a little imaginary thingamabob. I also like to believe that the old guy (grant kendrell) is the offspring of someone from "The Kid" because he was FUCKING WHITE HAIR........
Inquisitor BobDole That actually would be amazing

I only have two problems with this song: One: It ends abruptly, two: That it ends at all.
It's been 6 years, are you still upset?
This is one of my most recent songs though.
I wake up with this song every morning. Just fits my life so lovingly.

Well, I liked this song even before fully playing Bastion but now that I completed it it really hits differently.
I have to say, you're songs are amazing. They always have meaning that far transcends the game.
One of your best songs yet!
Still love this song. Period.
has the right vibe for a bastion song.
It once was one of my favourite songs. Haven't heard it for few years, but now I'm in love with it once again.
Ever since i heard this song, i had this game on the 'i really should get around to it'-list.

"So bring it back or start anew"
He's referencing the two endings, yes?
I can only assume so
I always liked the theory that when we start anew it doesn't stop the calamity from happening and we have to start the game again and do it all again until we finally decide to move on.
With what seems to be a clear message which choice we should take.
I mean that's pretty much blatantly stated by the game. When you go back everyone forgets everything, as stated by the old man. Meaning none of the lessons they learned that would have prevented the Calamity actually matter. Also the line "maybe I'll see you in the next one" is a blatant statement that this is a time loop and the old guy's figured it out. Not much of a theory, it's basically canon.
Al Capwn Not necessarily.
Rucks has no idea how to prevent the Calamity, stating that (as far as he knows) knowledge doesn't carry between loops.
So if he's wrong (and knowledge does carry): it hasn't looped yet, in which case: all bets are off.
Or he's right (knowledge doesn't carry) and it's fundamentally impossible to be sure.
"I'll see you in the next one" is indeed a statement implying Rucks assumes (is beginning to accept, it might be) a time-loop.
But the 'maybe' is a factor here.
Not even he knows.
"maybe I'll see you in the next one" is no more proof of a time-loop as the statement
"he's in a better place now" is proof of the existence of heaven.
I've loved this song since you first released it, and have spent a long time listening to it on repeat. Today, though, it struck me just how much this song applies to my life right now, and personal growth in general.

Kid's awful upset by this calamity in the comment section. (And how it removes avatars. Seriously, what the hell?)
Kid just rages for a while
Kid rage quits from life. Game Over.
Vaughn Monger Aaaah, I'm just foolin'.
BornFlunky Kid goes to the Bastion to redo that moment.

Kid ponders for a while........ then rages for a while again.
Love this song. Bought it the moment it was released on bandcamp. Captures Bastion's style perfectly. Keep up the good work!
This does a really good job of capturing the original musics feel while still adding a nice miracleofsound touch. Good job.
Do one for Transistor! :D
I concur!
Arkatox Transistor deserves such a musical tribute!
Vaughn Monger
WELL. Seeing as the soundtrack of Transistor pretty much describes the plot and the game, it almost does that on it's own. Hard to top that OST.
Mistwingz Hard to top the OST of Bastion as well, but this song is awesome.

Josh Free Easier way is to double right-click on the video.
rraquino56 I love you so much right now
This hits different November 2023
I'm your number one fan. The day you stop making music is the day I stop living. You're truly amazing. Thanks :D
Thank you for the wonderful music!
iv been following you for many years, but only discovered this song maybe a few months ago, and honestly this is one of your best.
that spunky feel in there gives song almost a snarky attitude, but the chorus feels like it has humility. i dont know nothing about this game, but i love that contrast of cocky/humility
I never played the game but this song makes me want to. You have so much talent and music skills, the lyrics are perfect. Every games should have your music in them.
This is still probably one of my favorite songs this dude has made... Just awesome all around!
There isn't nearly enough love for Bastion out there, so this was great to hear.
Yes. Yes it is. Its narrative, the style of it all, it's so special and insanely beautiful. The gameplay itself perhaps isn't the best you can find, but everything around it more then makes up for it.
I have never played Bastion, but this song has definitely gotten me intrigued enough to check it out.
One of my favorites, glad it's on TH-cam!
My favorite of his songs...
Love the way you made your voice sound like the narrator from bastion at parts, my new favourite song
thank you~ singing along with you is so much fun X3
One of my new faves...
Man, i usually never buy music, but only listen to it on youtube, but your music is so awesome that i just have to buy it to support you!
DAT SONG! I really Love this :D So good!
I love your music man. Something have gotten me addicted to this song. I am not sure what.
did it again! i'll never stop sing this song, it's in my head! THAT'S AWESOME!!!
Thank you for the support :)
Just wanted to say, 'Thank you, Gav', for showing geeks all across the world that art, in its quality of multiplicity manages, can join what some years ago was unthinkable: music and videogames outside the format of a soundtrack. And, on a side note, a song of yours, 'She's gonna teach ya how to Rock N' Roll' has become a theme song of sorts to my very own other half. So, thank you, Gavin, very bloody much. And keep rocking very fucking much!
holy friggin crap, this song sounds so much like the style of the original songs. This is a fantastic song
i have no idea how i didn't hear about you before, i just watched couple of your videos & iam amazed by your work. Its right on spot of the theme of the game, its almost like an official work from those games. i lack the words to describe how im in love with your songs..
you deserve much more credit & recognition for you efforts.
Keep up the amazing work, looking forward to them!
This is one of those songs that manages to so well capture the style of music of the game. Absolutely fantastic, good job Gav!
Cant Stop Listening
Bastion was a good game with the single greatest soundtrack that I've ever heard. And as a Metal Head that played Brutal Legend that means something. Nice to see you giving it a tribute.
This is fantastic. Love your music and love the bastion style music. So together it's amazing
It definetely gets my seal of approval
Hey Gav, i'm a fan of your work and i'm curious will you make a song for transistor too?
I've finished bastion again yesterday. So glad to come across this song now. :)
Dayummmmm, Gav, videos everyday for like the past three days. Im glad my friend introduced you to your awesome music. And hey man, keep up the awesome work.
Almost 5 years later and I still love this. That's why I love Gav's songs, they are always fresh and have a kind of magical spark into it. They shine like diamonds, and diamonds are forever.
I've never played the game,and never wanted to. Now this song makes me want to. I hope you're happy,Gav.
Glad to hear it :)
This is one of my favorite games and the song is beautiful.
Aw, man, I'm finding this *now?* I love this! It makes me imagine a continuation after the Setting Sail ending with the difference between 'build that wall' and this song's 'build the road in front of you'. Amazing stuff.
I'm not much of a music guy, but i always put your songs on repeat. Especially this and New Black Gold.
This was fantastic.
I can't get over how fucking incredible this song is. You have outdone yourself again, Gav. I can guarantee that I'll be a big fan of yours for a long time, no matter what genre of music you decide to release :)
This is, imho, your best work yet. The outro always gives me goosebumps.
This is amazing. Truly, truly amazing.
just can't stop listing to your music man, it matches so damn well with the video, big fan.
can't get this out of my head..........AND I LOVE IT
So before yesterday I never played Bastion.
Saw it was on sale
Thought "Okay Gavins song on it is amazing so lets give it a try"
That game was amazing
This song should be it's theme song
