I'm old,.....I was already 50, when I began playing this game,....it was addictive from the beginning. I survived a massive heart attack, the year before, and had to quit my job,....and get away from stress. I played this game for hours each day as I was recuperating. It wasn't stressful to lose myself in SimCity, and maybe it was the drugs I was on, that made me think the whole world outside my house, was a larger version of the game. I finally recovered, and now I am 68. I still play the game, every so often, as I can easily escape reality, when I play it.
Cheers Dave, I was only 3 months old when this game came out but I have fond memories of playing it with my brother growing up. Here’s to many more years of SimCity 4 for us both
@@notliterallyme Nice. Thanks. Yep,...I am thinking of playing with it again soon. I had been building some cities, that I can keep going back to. I love playing it because it isn't stressful, unlike real life.
This entire soundtrack is essential for concentration. Think of how inspiring it was for SC4 while designing your cityscape. It does the same while listening at work or studying. Music with words is distracting because you either sing along or try to view the video. My perfect work soundtrack - love it!!
My wife just made me fresh cookies, my daughter is sleeping on her swing, so peaceful. I am listening to this song, and I have not felt this happy in such a long time. Molten chocolate FTW!
Man the memories from 2008 and 2009, this game almost felt magical the first time i played it, as a kid this game was mind blowing for me, the graphics and the music, this game marked part of my childhood.
Two years ago, I completed my (take-home) organic chemistry final exam while listening to this music! It was my first semester in university since having a devastating depressive episode which nearly killed me, so this song feels extra meaningful and nostalgic to me now.
I graduated last year, now I'm working in a laboratory, hopefully on the way to medical school, and I'm still listening to this song while I prepare for the entrance exams. Even among the sounds of SimCity 4, this one holds a special place for me.
This song makes me think of being lost in the Nevada desert, but then I finally find some power lines to follow, which I desperately and thirstily do. They, unfortunately, lead me too close to Area 51...
This soundtrack... perfect for terraforming a city's foundations. With volcanoes. And meteors. And lightning. And other disasters I have forgotten about.
This is my favorite Sim City 4 song, hands down. There's just an aura of despair surrounding it, with weird positive overtones. Especially in the harmonics through the intro, gives me shivers.
November 2022,...been playing SimCity 4 since 2003,....already on an updated version,....it was hypnotizing and addictive. For some reason, it took me years to get hear this particular, tune. My cities never progressed enough to get there,...I guess, though I don't know. I think I began to finally hear this tune, at the end of 2021,.....and I found it to be especially haunting,.....I associated it with a kind of funeral dirge. A modern, futuristic, funeral dirge. I even muted a lot of the other tunes,.....to avoid them, after years of them drilling into my brain. This one, for some reason,....haunts my actual dreams.
Anytime I am up on a high ridge, seeing a city skyline in the distance, or looking down from an airplane window, this song always comes to mind. It just has this expansive feel to it!
It feels like you're slowly floating over the grassy plains of some kind of terrain in Africa, and you slowly peak up at the sky, as a cold breeze overcomes you, the clouds floating swiftly by. Jesus I'm high.
I remember when my brother bought me Simcity 4 and when I booted up the game, this was the first song that played in the background (we skipped the intro.) And now I'm nostalgic.
Honestly I would play the overworld music and just look at my region. Just amazes with what I see. So many cities, such beautiful skylines, what epic waterfronts. The music for the overworld was just perfect.
I find some of the songs in the SimCity 4 soundtrack to just feel a bit... empty, distant, airy, and a bit unnerving. This one feels almost as though you're a satellite watching on your region... Maybe this song is telling us something?
One of the best compositions of the game. It makes me feel like I'm watching the world before humans poluted and started to build on it... Everything green and everything clean... aaaahhh :)
This song isn't long and boring. I love it. The tones of it make it perfect for listening when I'm doing my fiction writing. Great stuff from an old favorite game ^_^
Fun fact, at 4:18, Sim City 3000 music is playing. In fact (since i've played this game to death), the entire soundtrack (or main theme of the 4 soundtrack) is based off Sim Broadway (Sim City 3000 iconic piece). You can hear this over and over throughout the 4 soundtrack in god and build mode.
This song is anything but boring. It makes me think of rows upon rows of public housing only broken up by the occasional high-rise cluster in an old socialist nation.
March 2024......... I recently turned 70. Back for a visit. This tune still haunts me. I still play my Simcity 4,....It is still a fun distraction.
This was the last good game in the series before EA killed it, along with the studio that created it.
It's pretty sad when you think about it.
@@OfficialBulldozerStudios I hope I can still find a version of it to download, when I buy my new computer.
@@Davett53 It's on the EA desktop app, the one that replaced Origin, and I believe it's on Steam as well.

as a kid I was super scared by the regional soundtrack, but today I really just can't get enough of it
Lol same, but now I think dig deep is the scariest song
@@cems.3144bruh. Wait until you hear (from least to most "scary") Taking Shape, Terrain or
Primordial Dream

Damn, this comment is 9 years old. Hope all is well with you and yours. Heck, your daughter could be in college by now.
this comment is a time capsule
12 years later I hope things are still going just as well for you.

Albert-John Freeman lol
They lead you to an Enclave base...
@@coolguy-xd1bg Hopefully you get a drink of water there if they have water hookups.
I like how it's in the regional view, it adds something unique and mysterious to the game.
I laughed so hard at the description LOL
😂 Definitely one of his favs.
This soundtrack... perfect for terraforming a city's foundations. With volcanoes. And meteors. And lightning. And other disasters I have forgotten about.
Giant robot t rex made of cars. Robo gorilla. Etc.
a MUST for earphones, enjoy the deep bass, beautiful music!
That music is the deepest one of the entire game.
This is my favorite Sim City 4 song, hands down. There's just an aura of despair surrounding it, with weird positive overtones. Especially in the harmonics through the intro, gives me shivers.
Boring? this is my favourite song from this game.
yup,my too
This is giving me William Orbit vibes and I love the sci-fi aspect reflected in Maxis's early games
It's not long and boring at all.
It is quite long. But not boring. :3
Actually it is long but not boring.
who said it was?
edit - oh...the uploader. he can't recognise greatness even when he's the one uploading it
he must work for EA.
Conservatives and Trump are more boring.

This track I remember it being called Bombay.
It also goes by that name on occation.

i like hearing this while in god mode it feels like i have all the time in the world
The bass at 3:45 is insane.
kinda fits watching a B-52 taxi down a sandy runway in the middle of nowhere.
i love this one...being at the high altitude and looking down upon your regions lazy clouds float by...jets and their contrails......its perfect..
Ey, you and I have the same thoughts on the music.
Honestly I would play the overworld music and just look at my region. Just amazes with what I see. So many cities, such beautiful skylines, what epic waterfronts. The music for the overworld was just perfect.
This song isn't boring at all, I love it.
The sorrowful sounding buildup is excellent, I wish it was longer! :)
This brings up so much nostalgia.
Love the flute.
It's not a flute, it's bansuri(traditional indian flute made from bamboo)
ilpomelo so it is a flute smh
@@ilpomelo Thank you for the correction, I've learned this since then, marvelous instrument.
this song creeped me out as a kid lol
Best sound track ever for some midnight/baked jams.

Play this song when you are traveling north of Las Vegas or when you're near the Area 51 base.
after coming home, starting the game, this relax me before the real work started
I've been looking for this one!
Brings back so many good memories playing this game.
I could just listen to the opening ethereal flow of the intro section by itself on loop.
Uploader's description feels like the epitome of 2007 to me
I can't unheat the 12 bar blues in this
Fallout and SimCity. You, mate, know what's good.
The best definition of this song i came up with is the time machine version of elevator music
In SimCity 4: Rush Hour it is called "Bombay" ✅
we've a Doctor by the same namesake
"very long and boring song" is the video description? 😭 How insulting. This track is chill as hell.
I LOVE THIS. SONG.
It's like your observing life in god mode.
I've always loved this song
Its called Area 52 becuase its based on a
its like being in the desert and then finding some power lines that lead to your city.
Listening to it increases your capability to learn about Earth's geological history by 999%.
i love this one. this is my favorite. i love the flute part.
Hey, how are you?
NOOOOSSTALLGIIAAA ATTAAACKKKKKK DON'T GET IT OFF MEEE!! IT'S PRETTY DAMN AWESOMEEE
This is just aesthetically appealing as fuck
This song isn't long and boring. I love it. The tones of it make it perfect for listening when I'm doing my fiction writing. Great stuff from an old favorite game ^_^
I think there's a weird charm to this song, I kind of like it
4:13 is just something else... wow
4:46 Best moment in the song. ^-^

Wow. Very beautiful.
this is one of Drakes earlier songs that you’d hear on the stereo at night on a school day
Hellz yeah! one of the best simcity songs!!
I love this one!
D:
My favorite song of this game
More of a zen-esque concentration type song.
I personally prefer the songs with an urban tone and a heavy beat myself.
Nice song, good use of flute.
Beautiful.
Teletubbies???? the fan? :O
I listen to this when I write... :D
Still the best
this one is my favorite
yeah it does the game is alright the soundtrack is excellent
Oh and I Forgot to mention teh BASS is Epic after 3:30 or so!
I got to clap dem alien cheeks in SimCity 4 at Area 52
nostalgia
Relaxing
Shape shifter and area 52😌
DUDE THIS WAS THE SONG ON THE LEVEL SELECTOR HAHAHA
@CaseyMcLaughalot You writing that made my hair stand, just thinking of that. XD
this is dope!
Theme Song of Area 51
Reminds of SMOD Tactical for some reason.
It does sound like the beginning to "Welcome to City 17", actually.
Friggen trippy.
love that. 'boring' is a bad call.
Area 51
Dream Land
ah yes, electric wires..
This track desserves at least a 100th commentary.
My job is done here
if you listen to the whole song the tune gets old
sounds kinds freaky
Yes,yes you most definitely are high. xD
i know what that is. pretty fun game.
Area 52 from WoW?
I think they overplay it. It's a fine song, but I just got sick of it.
This isn’t long, it’s not long enough. I just wished it played in city view as well as region view.
This song is anything but boring.
It makes me think of rows upon rows of public housing only broken up by the occasional high-rise cluster in an old socialist nation.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
