Suramar, Nightsong, Darnassus and Teldrassil music, Ashenvale and now Ardenweald. Something about Elvish music and aesthetic is so appealing to me. Night elf druid for life.
I have something to mention here: there is too much music this patch. Yes. You've head me: too much music. I would've liked more quality in some pieces (obviously the pieces that are missing from my mix). Maybe it was a good idea to spend more times in perfecting some themes instead of creating 5 variants of the same piece.
@@Meisio I see what you mean. There isn't a defined theme like the early expacs. Honestly I feel after Wrath they lost the ambient themes that really defined a zone. Now its more like a movie - ever changing and reacting to everything; which has its place in cinematics, but maybe keep one theme throughout the leveling zones.
@@Balloonbot so true. when u hear an old zones music without seeing what zone u know which one it is almost instantly and u get a nice unique feeling for each theme
@@Balloonbot Its weird, because BFA had really strong themes that played off of both melody and leitmotif, and this expansion it's all completely unmemorable ambiance. Incredibly well produced, yes, but I legit cant remember any of these songs five seconds after leaving the zones.
@@remarus I agree but Ardenweald IMO has some really memorable pieces (which still feel different, though). Maybe what you write was their intention, though, we are after all, in an ethereal realm of afterlife. Even the looks are so different to anything I've seen in WoW yet so maybe the music is supposed to be that way, very abstract not clearly defined and organised like the mortal plane. Who knows... In the end, it comes down to personal preference I guess, I like Shadowlands music more than the ambient one of most zones.
Teldrassil was one of my favorite zones to explore when I was a kid. Lost in a mystical forest with a beautiful ambience fueling my adventure. Ardenweald captures some of that nostalgic, dream like state I remember so fondly about teldrassil, and modernizes it. I love wandering around Ardenweald.
@@4Lv4r0c I too switched to horde. A lot of the alliance zones have my heart, but all my friends that still play moved to horde so i switched :( I love Tauren's starting zone though!
Ardenweald is, at least to me, the most magnificent zone they've ever made. Not just visually, but lorewise, storywise and musically as well. This zone is the convergence point of so many storylines, and the culmination of them was the most epic thing I've experienced so far in the game. The ambience is also unparalleled. The glittering little sounds and the reverb-heavy echoes are so calming and frame the atmosphere and concept so perfectly. Truly feels like an endless, timeless world of dreams. (Honorary mention to the amazing animated short they released for it as well, I've cried so fucking hard to that one haha)
Eh, did you play wrath of the lich king? most zones of Northrend are incredibly rich in lore (Thanks to several years of buildup), my personal favorite in terms of lore and music would be Storm Peaks, it just feels massive and you can feel the titans land.
@@b_rabbit435 Storm Peaks and Dragonblight were pretty amazing (Icecrown was too but those two hold a special place in my heart)... plus Grizzly Hills ambience and music are top tier. But I have to say, in terms of zone design, aesthetics, music, etc Ardenweald was QUITE a beautiful gem in the ruddy misshapen crown that was Shadowlands.
It's been years but I still find myself coming back to listen to the music and take in the sights of the Shadowlands. For all that was bad with the expansion, the art department got so much so very right, and that's what keeps calling me back. Meisio you did us all a service greater than you could imagine when you decided to preserve the art of WoW in such a vibrant immersive way. You gave us all a way to bask in all that was special without having to suffer through all that was problematic. Thank you.
Say what you want about Shadowlands, but Ardenweald is the best zone with the best story, music and vibe. I loved everything about that zone, and i had such a great time leveling there.
SL is like many xpacks that ultimately had a troubled end-game, but the zones and music are beloved. Ardenweald and Bastion are some of my favorite zones for sure.
Shadowlands music has been so good but gotta give it to Ardenweald, one of the best zones ever made aesthatically, and one of the best zone soundtracks for sure
I noticed that, too! It's mixed in with the Ardenweald music. I asked my husband if he heard it, too, but he's not so musically inclined, so he didn't. Glad that you confirmed that for me.
All the vocal parts of this soundtrack sound so soothing, just like a lullaby... And this small piece at 45:24 is SO enchantingly beautiful! I don’t know why this particular moment from the whole Ardenweald soundtrack became my favorite, but... can we imagine for a moment that the Winter Queen herself was singing this? 😌🍃 Thank you for sharing Meisio!
Despite the fiasco around shadowlands and me not being subbed for almost a year now, I come back and listen to this track every month or so. Such a weird feeling. Sad, melancholic, longing to experience it once more but knowing the reason I unsubbed hasn't been resolved... Almost like when spying on an ex on facebook. :( Ardenweald is easily one of my absolute favorite zones aesthetically, and the music is just perfect.
i always wondered how wow's take on fairies would look like. It is gorgeous! like Draenor's Shadowmoon Valley mixed with Val'sharah. I was not disappointed! thank you for this video Meisio!
Bro i'm right there with you! I love sitting in the library, throwing on some WoW music, and working on my studies. GL on your classes mate, and see you in Shadowlands ;)
First of all, the video is absolutely amazing 🙏 Ardenweald is the best zone ever after Teldrassil, I'm deeply in love with everything on this place and the music of course ! Winter Queen, Tyrande, Elune, Elves.... Perfection 💝🙏💖
Well, I still need to pass tasks in Revendreth to choose a covenant, and for now, my favorite one is Ardenweald, I like the atmosphere and the music is so strong and beautiful that almost makes you cry, I love it
This is a perfect music score something I need to relax and unwind just before I go to bed. I've been listing to some of these music scores from wow and I can tell you I am sleeping much better for it.
I've tried to include more slow peace music in all my Shadowlands movies so far. But I also include 'bad-guys' music at some point. I hope it's not giving anyone anxiety.
Ardenweald is one of the few things that I liked in Shadowlands. Great zone, and the Night Fae were my mains covenent all expansion though I did fill out the others just for the sake of it in the end. I spent a couple hours here on the night of Dragonflight' launch and I just felt sad tbh, of what the expansion could have been and how it turned out instead.
My first step in shadowlands were with my NE druid and I obviously choosed this covenant and damn I don't regret it, this storyline almost draw me a tear. Especially since teldrassil burned it's like a new home
Tauren druidsss here and, yeah. Wad impossible NOT to pick it. Everything about this story line here was perfect to me. Many, many, maaannnyyy tears were had. Sometimes to the point breaks had to be taken. Especially the auest line with, her. Won't spoil it for anyone who has yet to do this(despite the time past) Pawne chi owako lehe, portal ne'alo
I am a huge animal and nature lover, I hike a lot in the country and wild, I am vegan, take care of dogs, so this realm feels like a paradise to me. If only I could get there in the afterlife. Such beauty, I had tears in my eyes the first time I entered the zone and several times more. Now it ocurred to me I can imagine my deceased pets and all the innocent animals of the world entering here which makes me feel somehow more solaced.
Beautiful as always...I tell you ppl who make the audio-visuals in this game are genius. Too bad the rest of the WoW team isn't alway up to that standard. Beautiful mix as well. ;) Druid for life!
Oh my god. They nailed it with this.We didnt have this music quality in BFA, we simply didnt. This gives me all kinds of Legion vibes.Feels like home, I feel relieved,music is what made me play the game. Im ugly cryin
I agree that shadowlands has amazing music and art, but BfA's music certainly wasn't lacking in the least. Everything from the Zuldazar score to Nazjatar was nothing short of breathtaking.
Cool that everyone has such a different reason for playing the game. I do it for the story, I grew attached to the world and characters over the years. In the beginning, I only cared about PvP and getting the best gear like mostly everyone, now I feel like a weirdo for playing mostly because of the story + visuals + music too... There are most players, who don't even read quests and rush through the content to get to the end-level (nothing wrong about it, just saying), then there are us, who play because of the story and music lol. I haven't even leveled to 60 yet, only started at Ardenweald because I want to savour the ambience! I replay the cinematics and try to immerse myself in the world :) And I must say, I had tears filling my eyes when I first entered Ardenweald (and Bastion too!). The beauty of Shadowlands zones is unparalled, it's all the more impressive given how old the engine is.
Blizz did such an incredible job on this entire expansion. The music especially ❤️. Arden in particular had a few tear jerking moments playing through its little story.
Hello all! I'm a big fan of @Meisio work and just now I've spotted some "Lazyness" coming from Blizzard. let me explain.. At the beginning of this video and at 33:00, the music played with the Harp, is one of the main theme of Talador music, that I listened a lot. To be specific, it's the 'Auchenai Precipice' part. On the Meisio Talador video it's the part at 14:10. And the same Harp part is played at 15:30. I just noticed it because I was listening the Talador music, and youtube redirected me to this video, and I was like WHHHHAAAAT? Haha that"s so unlikely. Funny life I'm at the only one who've noticed that? Love to all
It's not laziness. The video was shot in Beta Shadowlands. That means that sometimes not all the music is available until the launch. It's my bad because I did not wait and I used the placeholder music. But whatever the reason was, I still don't regret using the Village track from the WoD because Ardenweald was probably inspired by Talador as well. I hope you like it regardless. :) P.S.: I think the Talador music still plays in a cave somewhere in Ardenweald. I just can't remember where exactly. Thank you for your appreciation!
@Meisio Laziness was probably not the appropriate word to be fair Nonetheless the videos and music arrangements are masterpiece ✨️ 👌 🙌 Love them so much. It makes my day everyday. You're a Legend to me and I'm glad you took the time to respond. Ps : The Timeless Isle one is pure genius the way you arranged it Keep up the good energy 🙏🌄
Thanks for putting it together, Meisio. Your music videos are perfect, not only mixed well but you also took time to film the zone and show its beauty. You are too kind!
I see a lot of bad commentary when people talk about how world of Warcraft has evolved over the years, but when I’m on these kind of zone all I feel is “what a good work blizzard’s team is doing” this place is magical and they still do an amazing work to bring me the fantasy I don’t have in this world. Thank you blizzard for the years of discovering so many brand new regions. Like it or not the work they did on this game is still amazing
If you ever heard the song "Nocturne" by Secret Garden - I think I know where composers drew their inspiration for Ardenweald melodic hook in the main theme. All I'm saying - amazing source of inspiration.
when i started wow, i spent almost a year jumping from class to class without knowing which class i should main. when i tried druid, i felt it hard to play other classes, even if it was just an alt to break the habit, i just fell in love with the gameplay and the lore of it. when druids became able to go to hyjal, i was amazed with nordrassil , when legion came, i was extactic with the fact we got the emerald gateway and valsharah, even in bfa i wanted to emerse and read all the quest stories about drustvar and their druidic ways, when shadowlands announced this area, i knew i wanted to go for this covenant
@@soppa112 btw, Ive always used that name as an online nickname cuz its based on my real name and at the time it was the only way to make it work... coincidence that the new race is called Sylvar
Of course, a person who likes Suramar, has to prefer Ardenweald as well :) A natural choice nonetheless. P.S.: I am happy to see you watching these movies :D
@@Meisio Actually I do have an Ardenweald music track question. I'm only 2/7 through the Covenant quests, but when I escorted the Forest Mother through Ardenweald, or whatever her name is lol, an absolutely beautiful music track played and I haven't been able to locate that specific track just yet. Any idea what it is? Is it perhaps on one of your other videos?
Shadowlands is the only expansion I haven't played through to the endgame. I never made it past level 52 before classic came and I went straight back to 2005. I saw footage of this zone and always meant to get back into the game, but never did! Thanks to work, family and other commitments, WoW is mothballed for me currently, but I will always remember and revisit the music. Like Burtimus below, I'd enjoy wandering around Teldrassil and I'd quite like to have a look at Ardenweald.
LOVE Ardenwald! Always bummed when I have to chose another pact over them cause different classes ect. And to think there are still people out there who play with their music turned off.... They've no idea what they are missing 😎
@@slinttu1378 It's here, at 32:11, in Dreamsong Fenn. This when you can hear the entire piece. Which I find strikingly familiar with 'Village B' track, but not 100% the same. Just my opinion though! Don't shoot! :)
@@slinttu1378 You are right, it's identical. Apologies, I was listening other tracks which I had for Draenor. I did not have Village C2, which is identical with this one on my video. Good find!
Trust me, you are here because Starlit Overlook. I gathered here my herbalism skill to max. Not to belittle other places but this deserves nr.1 spot :)
Ardenwald musics ( Sylvarden In French ) was the zone I will chose for my Maghar shaman Ork. For Azeroth ! Spoilers Spoilers : Ysera's death was so sad, iam happy to see her back there.
Who wins? Bastion vs Ardenweald vs Revendreth?

If Val Sharah and Suramar had a baby, I feel this place would be that baby
And Shadowmoon Valley
Probably the same artists contributed to this zone.
And Shadowmoon Valley for a grandma

The callback to Talador in the opening is simply wonderful.
I heard that too! I thought I was making it up at first, but it's definitely the Talador theme.
I just so happened to be listening to that one right before this so the transition was perfect! So cool

Take some shrooms - no need for VR my friend 😂

its perfect for sleeping and dreaming
Thank you. I hope the last part doesn't give you nightmares :)
@ You need to listen more times.
Although this was a controversial expansion, I really liked the environment and the music. Very well done to those artists.
If there is a heaven, please let it be like that.
20:40 Ori vibes ❤️
When I first came to this place leveling I knew. This is the covenant I must choose. Good or bad. I don't care. This is me.
It makes me hug Ysera and tell her: Welcome back. Don't go away. Never ;n;

i scream "YOUR BACK!" WHEN i saw that part... T.T I MISS HER!!

@@OlgaWintershade Revendreth also has a lot of the old castlevania influence as well
@@Hong656 I can't help but the think that the name was inspired by 'Ravenloft' and old school D&D dracula module
The music in Ardenweald specifically has some influence from both Assassin's Creed 2 and The Witcher 3
If this was the actual afterlife, I would not mind dying.
First of all, the video is absolutely amazing 🙏
Ardenweald is the best zone ever after Teldrassil, I'm deeply in love with everything on this place and the music of course ! Winter Queen, Tyrande, Elune, Elves.... Perfection 💝🙏💖

Thank you for really watching :)
I remember being in shock when I saw this place for the first time… and I can’t help but marvel it’s beauty every time I go there 💜💙
I’m so choosing Ardenweald as a Druid
My favorite zone in the Shadowlands. Ideal place for most of my elves and druids.
Shadowlands is by far the best expansion to date. Love it!
It's the most fun I've had in a very long time on wow
I'm one of those weirdos who absolutely loves this zone and I want to do everything in it. one of top 5 WoW zones of all time imo.
Genuinely the most beautiful area in any MMORPG imo. Ironically the second most beautiful on my list is Il Mheg in FFXIV which is ALSO a Fae region
0:27 i love this part so much 💙💙💙💙✨✨ soo beautiful
Oh my god. They nailed it with this.We didnt have this music quality in BFA, we simply didnt. This gives me all kinds of Legion vibes.Feels like home, I feel relieved,music is what made me play the game. Im ugly cryin
Battle for Stormgarde for alliance had phenomenal music including some parts of Kultiras and old themes. I'm guessing you're horde
I agree that shadowlands has amazing music and art, but BfA's music certainly wasn't lacking in the least. Everything from the Zuldazar score to Nazjatar was nothing short of breathtaking.
BfA music was different. It was scary, bombastic, energetic, but never calm like here
Stormsong Valley and Tiragarde soundtracks were beautiful.
Cool that everyone has such a different reason for playing the game. I do it for the story, I grew attached to the world and characters over the years. In the beginning, I only cared about PvP and getting the best gear like mostly everyone, now I feel like a weirdo for playing mostly because of the story + visuals + music too...

At the beginning of this video and at 33:00, the music played with the Harp, is one of the main theme of Talador music, that I listened a lot. To be specific, it's the 'Auchenai Precipice' part.
On the Meisio Talador video it's the part at 14:10. And the same Harp part is played at 15:30.
I just noticed it because I was listening the Talador music, and youtube redirected me to this video, and I was like WHHHHAAAAT?
Haha that"s so unlikely.
Funny life
I'm at the only one who've noticed that?
Love to all
It's not laziness. The video was shot in Beta Shadowlands. That means that sometimes not all the music is available until the launch. It's my bad because I did not wait and I used the placeholder music.
But whatever the reason was, I still don't regret using the Village track from the WoD because Ardenweald was probably inspired by Talador as well.
I hope you like it regardless. :)
P.S.: I think the Talador music still plays in a cave somewhere in Ardenweald. I just can't remember where exactly.
Thank you for your appreciation!
@Meisio
Laziness was probably not the appropriate word to be fair
Nonetheless the videos and music arrangements are masterpiece ✨️ 👌 🙌
Love them so much. It makes my day everyday.
You're a Legend to me and I'm glad you took the time to respond.
Ps : The Timeless Isle one is pure genius the way you arranged it
Keep up the good energy 🙏🌄
Thanks for putting it together, Meisio. Your music videos are perfect, not only mixed well but you also took time to film the zone and show its beauty. You are too kind!
This is absolutely beautiful, very relaxing. Even tough I do not play WoW anymore, I am really curious about Ardenweald lore and the aesthetic.
A imersão disso vai ser fantástica! Vem logo, Shadowlands
Em dezembro, talvez. Obrigado :)
I actually picked Ardenweald as my covenant because I loved the music and ambience. Had to change my mage to Arcane, lol
This is the reason, why i am leveling there... Love this sound!
damn i miss this zone
I see a lot of bad commentary when people talk about how world of Warcraft has evolved over the years, but when I’m on these kind of zone all I feel is “what a good work blizzard’s team is doing” this place is magical and they still do an amazing work to bring me the fantasy I don’t have in this world. Thank you blizzard for the years of discovering so many brand new regions. Like it or not the work they did on this game is still amazing
Most haters only play the game for the PVP/Rare PVP gear aspect.
Incredible as always. ♥ Thank you! Ps. Your thumbnails are goorgeous.
Thank you. I am glad someone notices the new thumbnails :)
Blizzard should rewards you!
Ardenweald the first and the best place i I’ve been in , in Shadowlands 🎵💘
My favourite area and music after jade forest.
Its so beautiful and magic
Big classic RPG energy. Like Chrono Trigger/FF vibes.
If you ever heard the song "Nocturne" by Secret Garden - I think I know where composers drew their inspiration for Ardenweald melodic hook in the main theme.
All I'm saying - amazing source of inspiration.
when i started wow, i spent almost a year jumping from class to class without knowing which class i should main. when i tried druid, i felt it hard to play other classes, even if it was just an alt to break the habit, i just fell in love with the gameplay and the lore of it. when druids became able to go to hyjal, i was amazed with nordrassil , when legion came, i was extactic with the fact we got the emerald gateway and valsharah, even in bfa i wanted to emerse and read all the quest stories about drustvar and their druidic ways, when shadowlands announced this area, i knew i wanted to go for this covenant
Absolutely the same. This is my covenant i don`t care what they say about the zone or the armor, i love every part of it.
Silvar
@@soppa112 btw, Ive always used that name as an online nickname cuz its based on my real name and at the time it was the only way to make it work... coincidence that the new race is called Sylvar
@@Lyko5 verry good story
Incredibly fine work, as always Meisio! Thank you for uploading these videos!
Thank you Ninito. I see I got you very excited :)
Hey @Meisio! I chose the Fae as my Covenant, and I love questing here. The music and scenery is so tranquil.
Of course, a person who likes Suramar, has to prefer Ardenweald as well :)
A natural choice nonetheless.
P.S.: I am happy to see you watching these movies :D
@@Meisio This is Daniel Royer. I changed my TH-cam handle last week once they gave users the new ability to do so :)
@@VideoManDan i recognized you Daniel. After the profile picture 😂
@@Meisio Actually I do have an Ardenweald music track question. I'm only 2/7 through the Covenant quests, but when I escorted the Forest Mother through Ardenweald, or whatever her name is lol, an absolutely beautiful music track played and I haven't been able to locate that specific track just yet. Any idea what it is? Is it perhaps on one of your other videos?
16:01THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL 😭😭😭💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
💙
1:03 the best that wow have ever made
Agreed!
Best for me is song of elune that plays in Teldrassil but this was great!!
That's my favourite part too!
Beautifully done! Thank you for putting together this compilation.
I absolutely love the way ardenweald looks 😍
Shadowlands is the only expansion I haven't played through to the endgame. I never made it past level 52 before classic came and I went straight back to 2005. I saw footage of this zone and always meant to get back into the game, but never did! Thanks to work, family and other commitments, WoW is mothballed for me currently, but I will always remember and revisit the music. Like Burtimus below, I'd enjoy wandering around Teldrassil and I'd quite like to have a look at Ardenweald.
Today I thought I should look If there is music from atdenweald on utube. It is. Thanks. Great work. I love the mix.
My shaman feels so home here, peace. just what you want in life.
Best zone in Shadowlands 💜💜💜
Wow this zone is beautiful! Good work!
I have been spoiled while shooting this zone. Everywhere I was turning the camera it was beautiful.
Thank you :)
Shrouded Mire, Spirit Glen... and tears wash my face
9:59 this is great, reminds me somehow of rayman soundtracks
I love you so much, meisio!
Thank you greguir! :) Happy you are among people who likes this.
Starlit Overlook and Shrouded Mire ❤❤❤
Love to listen to this,while doing boring chores
Thank you for listening Jane :D
1:00 This is seriously a masterpiece.
LOVE Ardenwald!
Always bummed when I have to chose another pact over them cause different classes ect.
And to think there are still people out there who play with their music turned off.... They've no idea what they are missing 😎
Playing wow without the music is like eating cereals without milk.
It's decent enough but you don't get the full experience.
The first music ( the Intro) sounds exactly like the Talador music from WOD ! I loved all the others and the esthetics
Not exactly, but close :)
That part is actually from WoD, apparently a fairy plays that on a harp in some cave.
@@slinttu1378 It's here, at 32:11, in Dreamsong Fenn. This when you can hear the entire piece. Which I find strikingly familiar with 'Village B' track, but not 100% the same. Just my opinion though! Don't shoot! :)
@@Meisio I do feel like it's the same track, i mean, comparing them, they are identical th-cam.com/video/Au9oGojxFFM/w-d-xo.html
@@slinttu1378 You are right, it's identical. Apologies, I was listening other tracks which I had for Draenor. I did not have Village C2, which is identical with this one on my video.
Good find!
Trust me, you are here because Starlit Overlook. I gathered here my herbalism skill to max. Not to belittle other places but this deserves nr.1 spot :)
Ardenwald musics ( Sylvarden In French ) was the zone I will chose for my Maghar shaman Ork. For Azeroth !
Spoilers Spoilers :
Ysera's death was so sad, iam happy to see her back there.
