Its been almost 6 years of Skyrim, and the game still being played, role played and acted, watched, modded, listed to by millions... what an achievement.
Strange thing for me: I was a semi-hardcore WoW player at the time, and when Skyrim came out I remember it was so popular that lots of regulars disappeared from WoW almost entirely (maybe except for daily quests etc!) to play Skyrim. I remember being like "feh, I know it sure sounds great but it has an ending, it's a short-term pleasure and then it's over... I'm not going to just break my PvP season and let down my guild and go play Skyrim." And I remember having the same attitude about Diablo etc. Anyway... here I am 7 years later after a trip to Scandinavia and many years of change and I'm actually thinking about starting Skyrim. Don't really have time but it could happen over the coming year...
I love your stories, I relate on a deep level. It's moments like these that remind me the internet can be a wonderful place, full of kind people reveling in stories together and the nostalgia and interests we share in common. I want to talk more with you guys. Eric, what was your trip to Scandinavia about, and what did you do while there? If I could go, I would in a heartbeat, to escape the familiarity of where I have lived my entire life and be with nature in its purest form. If you'd care to read my story, it would mean the world to me. Ever since I got my first Gameboy and PS2, games have been my one place I can go for an escape, a guarantee that life will not intrude. Games have always been an off limits area of my life that I devote a special part of my heart to, from Runescape (2007 to today, I still play and will always be loyal), to World of Warcraft, to Minecraft, to Skyrim. Through the darkest times of my life, when all else was lost, games held me up and continue to do so. I'll never understand or accept the arguments that games are pure evil and bad influences on people. Without games, and the wonderful worlds of adventure, fun, and peace within them, I don't know if I would have made it to where I am. There is a very particular reason Skyrim has always held a reserved spot in my heart, where few games reside. My parents divorced and I had to leave my childhood home shortly after Skyrim released. After that, Skyrim was all I had, a world to leave to. 8 years later, I rely on videos such as these to find peace in a life of chaos, uncertainty, and fear. I am 20 and my future is not clear. I suffer from extreme anxiety, loneliness and depression. I have not had friends to talk to or hang out with since high school. I have been truly alone for 3 years with nobody but family to talk to, but my family is dysfunctional. My parents pressure me daily to get a job, like a normal person, but no one understands my suffering. My social anxiety is so bad that the thought of applying for a job and going to an interview terrifies me. I want to run away from it, and I have for 3 years. Without music like this, some online friends I have, TV shows, games and some other interests of mine, I'd have nothing. I don't know where I'm going in life or how I'll get there. I have no one to support me or understand my mental struggles. I am utterly alone in a dark place. I need a license, a job, a car and eventually to move out, but I am nowhere near achieving any of those things. I fear I may never become an independent adult. Please, anybody, help me. I can't go on much longer. I am tired and scared.
If i die, Skyrim would be my ultimate heaven. Just the feeling of walking around Riverwood... Can you imagine? Seeing Sven's mother talking about dragons while Sven is busy chasing after Camilla, Alvor working hard at the forge... See you in sovngarde brothers and sisters.
And then you hear shouting on an ancient language coming from the inn and you know... that you are going to be turned into a slave in a very questionable place by this shouting psycho pervert.

When I hear this sound track I start to tear up, I remember I played Skyrim for hours on end when I was depressed because I was kicking out of my old school. This was the first game I ever got deeply invested in and immersed into. This got me through suicide and depression. This sound track reminds me of my room and a place I have never been too.
Eli Whitney broo same honestly I could totally relate , remember getting this on Christmas 5+ years ago on the 360.. then later on ps4. Good times best open world game ever 💯🔥
Damn, that was deep man. I hope life is treating you better and giving you more inspiring moments of positivity and joy. Crazy how a video game can change our lives for better : )
I've played skyrim since it came out when I was 17. Some of this music is so nostalgic for me it makes me cry. Lol I have a newborn, almost 10 weeks old, and when he's fighting sleep I play these videos for him. Some days it's the only thing that helps him nap.
A suggestion? Add some mods to improve graphics, weather and landscaping. I did it. Man... ONLY THEN you'll see the real power Skyrim has to make us cry. There is no sight more beautiful than Whiterun in a cold sunny day, with far soft clouds rolling over distant mountains. I have even taken a couple of screenshot to use on my computer.
My favorite place in Skyrim, no is not a cave or a dungeon, not a cool expansion valley or location, not the beautiful plains and forests, not even the peaceful towns and villages or rumbling with life cities, for me it is the lonely tavern on the path from windhelm to dawnstar. The one where orc chef resides. I like it for its peace and quietness, but at the same time not loneliness, it has a few living souls that warm the cold tundra with the smoke that comes from the tavern chimney.
WOW... scrolling through comment section, it's a cool feeling and I can relate so much to you guys. It's like a journey through time, I've put many hours into this game and had the best times. Thanks for this wonderful experience Bethesda... I wish all skyrim fans the greatest.
For some reason i never call it my favorite game, when it's the game I've played the most, i always think about wanting to play when im somewhere i don't want to be, like im in work or doing something with people i don't want to be there, i'm making myself feel better by imagining i'm running around in this game just doing simple little things like talking to everyone or just watching the beautiful ambience when it rains like at the start here... AND I've never uninstalled it. I used to think my favorite games were The Phantom Pain, Peace Walker, Snake Eater, Witcher 3, Baldur's Gate 2, Final Fantasy 7, and Persona 3.... but year after year, this is the game i always turn on maybe 5x as much as any of the others and play for hours.... It IS the best and most beautiful game ever made guys isn't it?
well said. i feel the same way about this game. its a game you always come back to... and just has that... unusual feeling about it.... that you dont get from *most* games
they hadn't been looking for you, stolen that horse and have been halfway to hammerfell. You there, you and me we shouldn't be here, it's the Stormcloaks the empire wants.
Jeremy Soule. the Legend. the most iconic music made for a video game ever. the soul of the game is the music that this man composed and we will always love it. bless him
I remember seeing those ancient stones for the first time like it was yesterday I had gotten Skyrim on the PlayStation 3 and made my first character a nord Oh how time flies my friends
AHEM THIS IS A RANT AND ITS LONG If I could just live with respawns in games like skyrim and dark souls, id love it, would leave everything behind to live forever in those worlds (ofc only if I revive, though if the drawback was feeling death each time id still be fine w it, every ounce of pain is worth it)
I play music and play in the basement that has brick walls and flagstone flooring, sitting on a set of different crappy chairs from second hand shops Very atmospheric.
ah, yes, me ending up fighting blood dragon, that spawned when i was raiding bandit's nest and then this sudden *-I've been looking for you. Got something I'm supposed to deliver - your hands only.* All of that while im being burnt to crisp you know that feel
I was just a kid when the game came out and now, I'm 24 years old, time sure flies fast. And whenever I listen to this music it helps me to recall all the good times that I had while playing this game.
It's not, It's a magical place where all of us bond toward each other through good memories and fun times..even though we are all stranger, we all start out the same from that small town of Helgen. Good day to you fellow traveller..
Skyrim, a legendary gem for which I am going to tell stories to my grandchildren. Time is not what it was. I had chance to live in fairy tales and be part of their quests. Being born in the year of the Chinese earth dragon gives a completely unique experience when you face Skyrim. It's one of a lifetime thing.
The Portuguese have a word that describe the feeling this music evokes: Saudade--"a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one cares for and/or loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never be had again."--Wikipedia.
that's so beautiful, that's exactly what I have more with morrowind music. I played it for the first time at 14 years old and still play it sometimes now, the whole vibe and music is so amazing
I started out with eight sources and an idea. I listened to this entire video about seven times back to back, and ended up with a ten page essay. Thanks, Everness.
I remember when I first started playing Skyrim and I walked long distances everywhere before fast traveling. I recall very vividly during a long walk, discovering new places at night, looking up at the aurora and the planets with beautiful music in the background just being in awe at the beauty and richness of the game.
I remember getting Skyrim in the 360 on November 11th 2011. I marched down to my local GAME store and purchased it at 9.30 in the morning. I went home and played it for 2 days straight because I was off work for 2 days. Looking back it was the greatest 2 days because I was so hooked on this universe and i was so happy with my purchase that everything was right with the world
I always listen to these Skyrim playlists while reading or studying and every time it makes me wanna play this wonderful game again. But then I remember that I have 1700h in game and I know every place and every quest by heart. Thereby, I always get bored after an hour when I decide to replay Skyrim and desperately experience the same emotions that I experienced 10 or even 5 years ago. I've finally realised that there is no point in that. It will be better to stop trying to enjoy a game that I can't enjoy any more. From now, I will simply listen and enjoy this music that fills my heart with memories of good old times. I think it will be the best way to honour this game. Perhaps if I stop trying to replay for let's say 10 year, then I will forget a lot and enjoy it like I used to. Or perhaps nothing like that will happen and Skyrim will live on only in my memories. I don't even know why I'm writing this under this playlist. My favourite one is Rainy Night. It seems I started to enjoy Rainy Towns more recently.
I've only started playing this ten year old game in the past two weeks and I'm slowly becoming utterly obsessed with it, reading every book I find in the game and researching the lore and history of the series. The depth of it is mindblowing, yet at its heart it tells of the simple human condition. I love it.
To this day, no game (and I have played my fair share) has immersed me in a world in such a way that Skyrim has. I will forever remember it; and listening to the music allows me to tap into that nostalgia over and over again.
even my second all time fav game after skyrim, rdr2 doesnt quite capture the feeling of being wrapped up in the atmosphere like this game... no game does
The banging of the anvil and the dog barking, makes me think it's from Riverwood. I think I can also hear the watermill faintly in the background. The birds are also an indication of trees. Not a lot of locations where those sounds are in the same place. Especially without a lot of civilians going past and causing a nuisance to the audio. Yes, I've got over 4000 hours in this game, how could you tell?
I have a weird connection with thouse songs. In my first year of apprenticeship (I was 16 or so) and got pretty sick. I got to work every day with an bad feeling and pain but my boss didnt care and said if I dont show up he will kick me out. Finished the week, was hyped for the weekend because my birthday was on that saturday. Unfortunately i was in misurable pain on that friday night, got to the hospital and they told me that I needed to stay for an emergency surgery. Next day I had the surgery and couldn realy move afterwards, just layed in the bed, with nothing but my phone and some shitty thoughts. I really loved Skyrim at that time, so thought about hearing the OST. It really kept me calm while thinking about how long I would need to stay here, when I could move again without pain etc... They told me I just need to stay 2 weeks, so hurray, first thing to not worry about anymore ! I keept hearing thouse songs and one certain morning, I woke up, still with my headphones in, looked out the window (like 8th floor ) and saw the whole city in fog. It made me so happy in combination with that music that I wanted to see more of it. Asked the nurse for a crouch and a tea, to go to sit at the table in my hospital room. I sat there for hours... I remember hearing: "The Streets of Whiterun", "Ancient Stones", "From Past to Present" and "Far Horizons" with just amazement for the soundtrack and the view. The Days gone by and I could go home finaly, but thats not where the story ends. They told me I need should go to work for 3 months because of my condition... I forgot about the soundtrack, about the game and just moved on. After 2-3 more weeks I started to walk normal again, without a crouch but with some pain left and thought about just going out in the forest nearby to catch some fresh air. I packed my phone, started the soundtrack and went there, walking like 2 hours in a cold but beautiful forrest with that music on, sat at a nearby lake and just enjoyed the view. It maybe sounds dumb but I realy thank Jeremy Soule for this music, he kept my sprit high in a realy shitty time. And if you read this, thank you for hearing my story, have an nice day.
i love it when you don't have a quest other than the main one and there are no enemies nearby, and you just stand there, and the soundtrack becomes an ode to that virtual landscape, maybe an ode to the hard quest that you just finished and tells you that everything's going to be okay
I grew up playing Oblivion. That was my generation. But my Skyrim play time has easily surpassed that. Still loving the atmosphere. Ah how I wish to fall asleep and wake in the Imperial City one day... take a stroll to Bruma, come back down to Cheydinhal...buy a house, find a job and never wake up
Man, there's just something about this game specifically, this soundtrack, that so many people resonate with. I'm not one to get choked up easily, and maybe it's the nostalgia of once being a depressed 13 year old and finding a genuinely happy escape in the woods of Skyrim for hours, but hearing that familiar sound is like coming home and feeling the weight of life slide right off, and I get a little misty in the eyes. Whether I'm playing a completely different game, looking for a moment of peace, writing or just trying to sleep, Skyrim's music helps in ways I couldn't really appreciate a few years ago. Bethesda has changed for the worse, but I'll always be grateful they gave me this.
for whatever reason, i was so surprised to see this, because whenever i think of skyrim i think of dragons coming at inconvenient times when i'm weighted down by being a hoarder of plates. but by god i love this so much
13 long years...i was 20 years old when i first time crawled my way trough Bleak Falls Barrow. Today i walked the fields of skyrim one more time, with my 4 year old son by my side. He loved every minute...
This just brings back so many memories. I used to come back from school and see my father playing Skyrim, I would sit and watch him for hours. As I got older, I took a turn myself and just fell in love. The game is old, but will always be a classic.
What a gem this game is/was. I don't even classify it as a video game, it's an experience. Just like how I don't really classify the original Lord of the Rings films as 'movies', they're experiences that fully draw you in and captivate you. I wonder if we will ever get a game like Skyrim again (Witcher 3 did it for me). This brings me so much joy to listen to and feel the waves of nostalgia that represent a simpler time. thanks for posting.
I've heard all these sounds and songs thousands of times but every time I hear them, it feels like the first time I set out on my first adventure into the wild landscapes of Skyrim.
This music has such a calming effect on me for some reason.. after hundreds of hours played on my 360 and PC over the years and I am still coming back for more. Amazing video!
I really miss those simple times . My brother and I played for hours, to be more precise, he played, and I watched (like a movie). It was most atmospheric in winter. It's cold outside, but at home and in the heart it is so cozy and warm, tea in hand, mom is doing something in the kitchen and dad is in the garage. Thanks for childhood...
I always heard the music in the background and I enjoyed it but I never *listened* to it. When these videos started coming out I fell into a whole other world. Just the uninterrupted music & ambience is magical.
Beautiful. I've never played Skyrim but it is on my to-do list. Just by listening to this masterpiece of a soundtrack i feel its one of those games which has a 'soul'.
The amount of nostalgia and emotion the first 15 seconds elicited is staggering. I remember staying up for the midnight release, popping it in and putting the full headphones on. To go back again...
so many hours spent in those lands...it feels like I was really there!!! when a video games and its soundtrack can bring back those memories is a massive achievement. I am sure there's a lot of people listening to this music and feeling nostalgic, as if we actually lived there...in that magical and yet dark world...
Skyrim is one of the few games I played all the way through as a kid. I played for the atmosphere and sense of immersion it gives, and listening to its music and seeing the towns brings me straight back to that place. I remember everything so well even though I haven’t played it for a long time. That’s the mark of a great experience I think.
TEN years ago on the 11.11.11 this masterpiece was released. Happy birthday to Skyrim. The only game I bought several times on X Box 360, PS3, X Box One, PS4 & PC.............................. One of the few games I've been addicted to uo to forgeting to eat & sleep. Thank you Jeremy Soule for this score that made me travel in a place beyond time & space.
This has got to be one of the most immersive games in the world. I'm just...you feel like you are there. i don't want a vr, and I can't afford it/ idk if my pc could even run, but I'd love JUST the headpiece to cut out my surroundings and just see the game. I'd love them to spend even a decade making another game like this one. Spend as many years as you need making it bc...in the end it will be played for decades later.

@@ERICKMAX0317 Bethesda doesn't seem to give much of a crap about the community. It's the modders who churn out interesting ways to explore our favorite game. That's why the community is still so active 8 years after skyrim's release.
Try oblivion.
@@proksenospapias9327 oh I will, actually is in my checklist with Morrowind, fallout 2, fallout 1:done, and then I would try Tes I and II but I find them repulsive to my eyes(I'm not saying they are bad )
11 years and people still come here to listen for these songs. I'm glad to be part of this
13 years now... im sure itll continue for another ten. what an amazing thing
Ahh, those three stones! Do you remember when you stood in front of them for the first time? :-) What a nostalgy! :-)
Not cool dude, I just got a massive chill/goosbump all over!
For me Ralof ran past them through the woods into Riverrun lol. Never had that moment when he tells about them to you.
I missed them on my first play through, it was only later in I went and found them lol
@@rudde7918 same lmao
10 years ago... : ' )
When I hear this sound track I start to tear up, I remember I played Skyrim for hours on end when I was depressed because I was kicking out of my old school. This was the first game I ever got deeply invested in and immersed into. This got me through suicide and depression. This sound track reminds me of my room and a place I have never been too.
Eli Whitney broo same honestly I could totally relate , remember getting this on Christmas 5+ years ago on the 360.. then later on ps4. Good times best open world game ever 💯🔥
I hope you are doing well :)
Damn, that was deep man. I hope life is treating you better and giving you more inspiring moments of positivity and joy. Crazy how a video game can change our lives for better : )
How are you doing now?
You dont ever stop playing skyrim. You just end up taking long breaks
Got a lot of steel to shape
Goss be praised
of course he has, he start working at 12:00 and stops at 17:00
Hrm
You keep that helmet and dagger, remember me when you’re making skyforge steel huh? 😊
I've played skyrim since it came out when I was 17. Some of this music is so nostalgic for me it makes me cry. Lol
I have a newborn, almost 10 weeks old, and when he's fighting sleep I play these videos for him. Some days it's the only thing that helps him nap.
9:34 transported me to a happy place buried deep in my subconscious. the nostalgia is overbearing
Im cryiing 😭😭❤❤🔥
My favorite song off the whole soundtrack.
Shgsheshwhhavingahappystrokern
God this hits hard
THIS GAME makes me cry... it's so beautiful. it makes you want to live inside Skyrim. That's why it is my favourite game.
A suggestion? Add some mods to improve graphics, weather and landscaping. I did it. Man... ONLY THEN you'll see the real power Skyrim has to make us cry. There is no sight more beautiful than Whiterun in a cold sunny day, with far soft clouds rolling over distant mountains. I have even taken a couple of screenshot to use on my computer.
Hunting , Fishing, Simple and peacefull life in mantaining law and order in every holds
Even after all these years, Skyrim is still the most beautiful game I've ever played.
My favorite place in Skyrim, no is not a cave or a dungeon, not a cool expansion valley or location, not the beautiful plains and forests, not even the peaceful towns and villages or rumbling with life cities, for me it is the lonely tavern on the path from windhelm to dawnstar. The one where orc chef resides. I like it for its peace and quietness, but at the same time not loneliness, it has a few living souls that warm the cold tundra with the smoke that comes from the tavern chimney.
it's the nightgate inn i think
Как мило. Так и тянет вернуться туда. И когда -нибудь, в очередной раз, я это сделаю. Прекрасная музыка , прекрасный мир Скайрима и всего Тамриэля.
WOW... scrolling through comment section, it's a cool feeling and I can relate so much to you guys. It's like a journey through time, I've put many hours into this game and had the best times.
Thanks for this wonderful experience Bethesda... I wish all skyrim fans the greatest.
yes so soothing and skyrim made memories for us to remember no words to describe hope elder scroll 6 will also match this level
My heart belongs with the warriors of Jorrvaskr
How I took this soundtrack for granted... Jeremy Soule, future generations will honor you.
For some reason i never call it my favorite game, when it's the game I've played the most, i always think about wanting to play when im somewhere i don't want to be, like im in work or doing something with people i don't want to be there, i'm making myself feel better by imagining i'm running around in this game just doing simple little things like talking to everyone or just watching the beautiful ambience when it rains like at the start here... AND I've never uninstalled it. I used to think my favorite games were The Phantom Pain, Peace Walker, Snake Eater, Witcher 3, Baldur's Gate 2, Final Fantasy 7, and Persona 3.... but year after year, this is the game i always turn on maybe 5x as much as any of the others and play for hours.... It IS the best and most beautiful game ever made guys isn't it?
well said. i feel the same way about this game. its a game you always come back to... and just has that... unusual feeling about it.... that you dont get from *most* games
When you've been playing Skyrim all day 6 hours straight and you need a break but you keep jumping around the city anyways.
six hours? pfft try 15 casual (congrats on 69)
I jump around when I start spacing out lol
_"Hey you, finally awake , you were trying to cross the border right? walked right into that imperial ambush. same as us and that theif over there."_
‘Damn you stormcloaks, Skyrim was fine until you came along. Empire was nice and lazy.”
they hadn't been looking for you, stolen that horse and have been halfway to hammerfell. You there, you and me we shouldn't be here, it's the Stormcloaks the empire wants.
@@andralogan4657 Imperial yells: Shut up back there!
Jeremy Soule. the Legend. the most iconic music made for a video game ever. the soul of the game is the music that this man composed and we will always love it. bless him
I remember seeing those ancient stones for the first time like it was yesterday
I had gotten Skyrim on the PlayStation 3 and made my first character a nord
Oh how time flies my friends
When I die, I want to enter this world.
Yeah me too. I hope its better
me too oh the life it would be if when we die we just go to skyrim
AHEM THIS IS A RANT AND ITS LONG If I could just live with respawns in games like skyrim and dark souls, id love it, would leave everything behind to live forever in those worlds (ofc only if I revive, though if the drawback was feeling death each time id still be fine w it, every ounce of pain is worth it)
‘Hey you, you’re finally awake’ those are the words I want to hear after I die!
Same
Jesus Christ!
I've just found THE Channel to use during D&D!
Thank you so much for the hard work and effort in these videos, it sounds GRAND!
+zombine64 💛🤗💛 More to come.
You play music during D&D session?
You don't?
Great idea!
I play music and play in the basement that has brick walls and flagstone flooring, sitting on a set of different crappy chairs from second hand shops Very atmospheric.
Do you get to the rain cloud district often?
what am I saying? of course you don't.
Man, I hate Nazeem!
it's literally just cloud district
What am I saying? Of course you don't.
@@Franken_freak , Same.
I legit brag to everyone that I listen to skyrim soundtracks or tavern audios. I'm called a nerd for it.
But in the end...
*I'm not alone.*
Lol i feel like the fact that i listen to these tracks all the time is like my special secret
Never I’m here with yoy
I grade papers to it. Listen to the songs of my home away from home...
You dam right
They're all milk drinkers.
ah, yes, me ending up fighting blood dragon, that spawned when i was raiding bandit's nest and then this sudden *-I've been looking for you. Got something I'm supposed to deliver - your hands only.* All of that while im being burnt to crisp
you know that feel
Nothing stops the mail. Nothing.
Brian Bailey gotta love the dude tho he’s dedicated he somehow delivered my mail while I was in the soul cairn
If you don't have the mail. Your life is meaningless.
Almyrigan Hero he is the true god ! All beings bow before him !
"Let's see here, oh, a letter from the Jarl, moving up in the world I see. Well, that's it, got to go."
I was just a kid when the game came out and now, I'm 24 years old, time sure flies fast. And whenever I listen to this music it helps me to recall all the good times that I had while playing this game.
All these years later and now I'm playing it in VR. I just stand still, stare at the skies and scenery. It's incredible.
The years keep on pasting, and I yet still come back here to find peace, Skyrim is not just a game.
It's not, It's a magical place where all of us bond toward each other through good memories and fun times..even though we are all stranger, we all start out the same from that small town of Helgen. Good day to you fellow traveller..
Skyrim, a legendary gem for which I am going to tell stories to my grandchildren.
Time is not what it was. I had chance to live in fairy tales and be part of their quests.
Being born in the year of the Chinese earth dragon gives a completely unique experience when you face Skyrim. It's one of a lifetime thing.
as someone born in the year of the metal dragon... completely agree
The Portuguese have a word that describe the feeling this music evokes: Saudade--"a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one cares for and/or loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never be had again."--Wikipedia.
that's so beautiful, that's exactly what I have more with morrowind music. I played it for the first time at 14 years old and still play it sometimes now, the whole vibe and music is so amazing
Perfeitamente
I started out with eight sources and an idea. I listened to this entire video about seven times back to back, and ended up with a ten page essay. Thanks, Everness.
When you had a very stressful..sad day...and then you lay down on your bed with earphones, to listen to this masterpiece and relax...
Thank you...💕
I remember when I first started playing Skyrim and I walked long distances everywhere before fast traveling. I recall very vividly during a long walk, discovering new places at night, looking up at the aurora and the planets with beautiful music in the background just being in awe at the beauty and richness of the game.
Beautiful, what a beautiful game. I will never forget this game
I remember getting Skyrim in the 360 on November 11th 2011.
I marched down to my local GAME store and purchased it at 9.30 in the morning. I went home and played it for 2 days straight because I was off work for 2 days.
Looking back it was the greatest 2 days because I was so hooked on this universe and i was so happy with my purchase that everything was right with the world
I always listen to these Skyrim playlists while reading or studying and every time it makes me wanna play this wonderful game again.
But then I remember that I have 1700h in game and I know every place and every quest by heart. Thereby, I always get bored after an hour when I decide to replay Skyrim and desperately experience the same emotions that I experienced 10 or even 5 years ago.
I've finally realised that there is no point in that. It will be better to stop trying to enjoy a game that I can't enjoy any more. From now, I will simply listen and enjoy this music that fills my heart with memories of good old times. I think it will be the best way to honour this game.
Perhaps if I stop trying to replay for let's say 10 year, then I will forget a lot and enjoy it like I used to.
Or perhaps nothing like that will happen and Skyrim will live on only in my memories.
I don't even know why I'm writing this under this playlist. My favourite one is Rainy Night.
It seems I started to enjoy Rainy Towns more recently.
one day friend youll come back and even with all of your knowledge the game will make you take a step back and go... im home again...
This music makes me appreciate Skyrim soundtrack and the whole game even more after years. This is such amazing combination.
Elder Scrolls Skyrim 5...... You will stay in my memory...forever and beyond
The streets of Whiterun is so calming and cozy 😏😏😌 my favorite one.
I'm in LOVE with this rainy series - it's seriously the best to relax and study/work along with. You're savin' my life here I hope you know, haha!
I've only started playing this ten year old game in the past two weeks and I'm slowly becoming utterly obsessed with it, reading every book I find in the game and researching the lore and history of the series. The depth of it is mindblowing, yet at its heart it tells of the simple human condition. I love it.
Have you read The Lusty Argonian Maids 😹😹
Perfect to sleep to. Damn.
I love the community in this section. May we all feast in Sovengarde, brothers and sisters. We lived a good life, an invisible shared life.
To this day, no game (and I have played my fair share) has immersed me in a world in such a way that Skyrim has. I will forever remember it; and listening to the music allows me to tap into that nostalgia over and over again.
even my second all time fav game after skyrim, rdr2 doesnt quite capture the feeling of being wrapped up in the atmosphere like this game... no game does
Gonna buy this again on PS5, still, gonna miss being 12 years old exploring this wonderfull world.
Safe travels everyone!
What a game!! 10 years in and still finding stuff I've not seen. One of the best bits of code ever written...... ever.
Because you're here, it means you're my type of person. Safe travels, landstrider
i'd give everything to forget about this game and experience it all over again
The banging of the anvil and the dog barking, makes me think it's from Riverwood. I think I can also hear the watermill faintly in the background. The birds are also an indication of trees.
Not a lot of locations where those sounds are in the same place. Especially without a lot of civilians going past and causing a nuisance to the audio.
Yes, I've got over 4000 hours in this game, how could you tell?
I have a weird connection with thouse songs.
In my first year of apprenticeship (I was 16 or so) and got pretty sick.
I got to work every day with an bad feeling and pain but my boss didnt care and said if I dont show up he will kick me out.
Finished the week, was hyped for the weekend because my birthday was on that saturday.
Unfortunately i was in misurable pain on that friday night, got to the hospital and they told me that I needed to stay for an emergency surgery.
Next day I had the surgery and couldn realy move afterwards, just layed in the bed, with nothing but my phone and some shitty thoughts.
I really loved Skyrim at that time, so thought about hearing the OST.
It really kept me calm while thinking about how long I would need to stay here, when I could move again without pain etc...
They told me I just need to stay 2 weeks, so hurray, first thing to not worry about anymore !
I keept hearing thouse songs and one certain morning, I woke up, still with my headphones in, looked out the window (like 8th floor ) and saw the whole city in fog. It made me so happy in combination with that music that I wanted to see more of it. Asked the nurse for a crouch and a tea, to go to sit at the table in my hospital room. I sat there for hours...
I remember hearing: "The Streets of Whiterun", "Ancient Stones", "From Past to Present" and "Far Horizons" with just amazement for the soundtrack and the view.
The Days gone by and I could go home finaly, but thats not where the story ends.
They told me I need should go to work for 3 months because of my condition...
I forgot about the soundtrack, about the game and just moved on.
After 2-3 more weeks I started to walk normal again, without a crouch but with some pain left and thought about just going out in the forest nearby to catch some fresh air.
I packed my phone, started the soundtrack and went there, walking like 2 hours in a cold but beautiful forrest with that music on, sat at a nearby lake and just enjoyed the view.
It maybe sounds dumb but I realy thank Jeremy Soule for this music, he kept my sprit high in a realy shitty time.
And if you read this, thank you for hearing my story, have an nice day.
2000 hours on that game and the music never seizes to bring me right back there
i love it when you don't have a quest other than the main one and there are no enemies nearby, and you just stand there, and the soundtrack becomes an ode to that virtual landscape, maybe an ode to the hard quest that you just finished and tells you that everything's going to be okay
always a pleasure to study with all your stuff
Agreed mate.
Yohan Pernin That's especially true when studying homogenous non conducive non isotopic electromagnetic fields
I grew up playing Oblivion. That was my generation. But my Skyrim play time has easily surpassed that. Still loving the atmosphere. Ah how I wish to fall asleep and wake in the Imperial City one day... take a stroll to Bruma, come back down to Cheydinhal...buy a house, find a job and never wake up
Hearing this track made me reinstall Skyrim, just to walk the mountains again after some years :)
the nostalgia i feel from this game is sometimes so strong that I have to take a break for a second and gather myself. seriously
Yeah, it’s like being happy and sad at the same time. My emotions don’t know which way to go.
Man, there's just something about this game specifically, this soundtrack, that so many people resonate with. I'm not one to get choked up easily, and maybe it's the nostalgia of once being a depressed 13 year old and finding a genuinely happy escape in the woods of Skyrim for hours, but hearing that familiar sound is like coming home and feeling the weight of life slide right off, and I get a little misty in the eyes. Whether I'm playing a completely different game, looking for a moment of peace, writing or just trying to sleep, Skyrim's music helps in ways I couldn't really appreciate a few years ago. Bethesda has changed for the worse, but I'll always be grateful they gave me this.
On the 13th anniversary of Skyrim, here I am still listening to its music.
for whatever reason, i was so surprised to see this, because whenever i think of skyrim i think of dragons coming at inconvenient times when i'm weighted down by being a hoarder of plates.
but by god i love this so much
13 long years...i was 20 years old when i first time crawled my way trough Bleak Falls Barrow. Today i walked the fields of skyrim one more time, with my 4 year old son by my side. He loved every minute...
This is what i listen to all around my house this quarantine on my speakers.
couldn't ask for better music to relax.
This just brings back so many memories.
I used to come back from school and see my father playing Skyrim, I would sit and watch him for hours.
As I got older, I took a turn myself and just fell in love. The game is old, but will always be a classic.
What a gem this game is/was. I don't even classify it as a video game, it's an experience. Just like how I don't really classify the original Lord of the Rings films as 'movies', they're experiences that fully draw you in and captivate you. I wonder if we will ever get a game like Skyrim again (Witcher 3 did it for me). This brings me so much joy to listen to and feel the waves of nostalgia that represent a simpler time. thanks for posting.
bro relax bro. its a just a game / movie
I've heard all these sounds and songs thousands of times but every time I hear them, it feels like the first time I set out on my first adventure into the wild landscapes of Skyrim.
This music has such a calming effect on me for some reason.. after hundreds of hours played on my 360 and PC over the years and I am still coming back for more. Amazing video!
I really miss those simple times . My brother and I played for hours, to be more precise, he played, and I watched (like a movie). It was most atmospheric in winter. It's cold outside, but at home and in the heart it is so cozy and warm, tea in hand, mom is doing something in the kitchen and dad is in the garage. Thanks for childhood...
I always heard the music in the background and I enjoyed it but I never *listened* to it. When these videos started coming out I fell into a whole other world. Just the uninterrupted music & ambience is magical.
Aye
Thank you for transporting me to some far off, magical land 💕
Beautiful. I've never played Skyrim but it is on my to-do list. Just by listening to this masterpiece of a soundtrack i feel its one of those games which has a 'soul'.
A soul indeed. If you immerse yourself in it you’ll never be the same. Just read the comments
PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE PLAYED IT!!!!!!!
@Almighty Jacob have you played Skyrim yet?
@@joshbuchanan6983 i have
This really makes me want to play it too
I put my headset over my cats ears and he always falls asleep to this video. It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
I feel homesick whenever I listen to Skyrim music. It's just... So beautiful and pure
The amount of nostalgia and emotion the first 15 seconds elicited is staggering. I remember staying up for the midnight release, popping it in and putting the full headphones on. To go back again...
I don't understand why anyone would dislike this.
so many hours spent in those lands...it feels like I was really there!!! when a video games and its soundtrack can bring back those memories is a massive achievement. I am sure there's a lot of people listening to this music and feeling nostalgic, as if we actually lived there...in that magical and yet dark world...
It's incredible how well the music matches the game
Skyrim is one of the few games I played all the way through as a kid. I played for the atmosphere and sense of immersion it gives, and listening to its music and seeing the towns brings me straight back to that place. I remember everything so well even though I haven’t played it for a long time. That’s the mark of a great experience I think.
LOVED Skyrim, I hope they make another game like this soon.
@I'll taketh thy cheese by force It's sad.
@I'll taketh thy cheese by force I don't think its Todds fault.
@I'll taketh thy cheese by force No there are people above him who decide everything like Robert A. Altman.
TEN years ago on the 11.11.11 this masterpiece was released. Happy birthday to Skyrim.
The only game I bought several times on X Box 360, PS3, X Box One, PS4 & PC..............................
One of the few games I've been addicted to uo to forgeting to eat & sleep.
Thank you Jeremy Soule for this score that made me travel in a place beyond time & space.
Gotta be smithing in the wilderniss at 7:05
And some dog at 4:40
dude i wish i could play this game and hear the soundtrack for the first time again. such a great time of my life playing this and bo2 all day
This has got to be one of the most immersive games in the world. I'm just...you feel like you are there. i don't want a vr, and I can't afford it/ idk if my pc could even run, but I'd love JUST the headpiece to cut out my surroundings and just see the game. I'd love them to spend even a decade making another game like this one. Spend as many years as you need making it bc...in the end it will be played for decades later.
i wish i had hope for todd howard but esp with starfield.... i dont think theyll ever come close to skyrim again :(
There's just something about the Skyrim soundtrack/landscapes that is so comforting
This is one of my go-to's, especially preparing for D&D or even just some town ambience.
Skyrim is a world unlike any other. Truly makes you feel nostalgic and homesick for a place you've never really been to
I put this on to listen to and accidentally fell asleep. That sleep was one of the best sleeps I've ever had. I recommend that you peeps do it too 😉
