Silent Hill will forever have a special place in my heart.. My dad was playing it with me since I was lil, I only remember stuff from when I was 5-6 yo.. I know it’s not the best game for a child, but I was more curious than scared at that time. Played it myself at 11, got all the endings (even the alien ones), the soundtracks made me feel so safe and like someone was giving me a warm hug. I didn’t see my dad much after 15, and now I live on a different continent at 21, but those memories of when we played it together will never disappear... I’m thankful that he introduced me to this franchise, it’s so special to me, I can’t explain in words. If there ever was a chance to visit Silent Hill I would definitely go... In my restless dreams, I see that town...
I have a similar story, I was about 4 - 5 when I was watching my dad playing silent hill 3. I remember once when I was about the same age. My dad was playing in the lounge room and me and my other siblings were there too. Whenever I heard the monsters or if something creepy came on that’s what I imagined back then but I would always hide my face in the pillows. Lol I was about 8 when I played the very first silent hill that ever came out. And I was 12 when I first played silent hill 3. And now I’ve completed nearly all endings for silent hill 2, 3, and nearly 4. I unfortunately couldn’t able to play the first silent hill because we sold our ps1 for the ps2 so we couldn’t play it on the ps2 which is sad. But I do agree with you. Some of the music soundtracks from silent hill 2, drawn me in by how relaxing and melody it sounded, like If the angles were speaking to me comforting me, healing me from my past trauma. Forever silent hill will forever be in my heart. It didn’t make sense when I was younger. But when I matured and learnt a lot about the games story and the characters. It was like I could relate to them in someway but not entirely. Watching them trying to battle their hallucinations, dreams, being a bad person, trying to runaway from trauma, reliving your past experiences, eating disorders, addictions, guilt, unhealthy habits, ect. But this game has made me into a bigger person. And I get so happy when people bring up silent hill in whatever conversation. It makes me think that I’m not the only one who was going through some kind of nightmare in the past as a child. Thank you silent hill…….. ❤
On April 4, they hospitalized my sister for acute kidney failure. Afterwards, they transferred my sister to another city by ambulance because the hospital in the city we lived in was inadequate. we was in a miserable state with my family in a city we didn't know. this song made me fall asleep when times were absolute horrible. Thank you Akira Yamaoka and the owner of this channel.
That literally sounds like a setup for a silent hill character. It’s probably why it resonates with you so well. Peace within darkness, I hope you overcome your conflict and that your sister fully recovered or at least went peacefully. I lost my younger brother at only four days old. The question that always haunts my mind has been is it better to have known someone and lost them or wonder what they would’ve been for the rest of your life. Reach out if you need the help it’s there.
@@shanelogan630 I think losing someone without knowing them is always a less painful method. Because all the things you've experienced and memories don't haunt you. When we arrived at the hospital with my father, they had already admitted my sister. We couldn't catch up with the speed of the ambulance anyway. I remember very well, when I stayed as a companion in her room, I pulled my companion bed next to my sister's bed and fell asleep holding her hand. I remember fighting with all my might not to let her hear me cry while holding her hand when I learned on that same day that if her kidneys didn't recover, she could only live for 10 more years. When her kidneys started working at 7% with dialysis, we had a crazy celebration. Does anyone rejoice because their sibling's kidney is functioning at 7%? I did. My joy turned into a lump in my throat when doctors mentioned the possibility that the improvement might be due to dialysis, meaning her kidneys might still not be working. Thank God she survived. Now she is perfectly fine. Both of her kidneys are working perfectly. Thank you for your words and good wishes. I'm really sorry for your loss. As I said, losing someone without knowing them is, in my opinion, better than having their memories become a torment. Perhaps more selfish, but at least the memories don't turn into a nightmare
I've been listening to this every day for a year and I can't imagine if I'd stop doing it. It's like a lullaby that I missed so much as a child. This is exactly what helps me get through the days fighting constant anxiety. And I wish everyone to find comfort in this
I usually come by here at least once a month to truly relieve myself from the stress and anxiety of life. I always spend the first minute with my eyes closed, picturing a foggy atmosphere to engulf me with its cathartic shield. After, I always check the comments and notice how much of a pillar this song is to many. One to lean against, droop for a moment and temporarily loosen up the tension of an unwanted day, week, month or year. I come by now to say that it is pleasant to read through these comments knowing that there are so many of us feeling a variety of ways. Mostly melancholic, honest and true. I say thank you to all for keeping Silent Hill alive.
that sounds great. i also use this ambience music in order to make my brain quiet down and it works better than anything else out there. after taking off my headphones, i feel calm and relaxed.
One of the greatest things about the OST of Silent Hill, and the whole game, is that it doesn't bullshit you about how life really is. There's a day-to-day life and then there's the Silent Hill life, the true face of what we're actually living. One where the true motivations and secrets of the world around us are hidden everywhere but life doesn't pretend to be cheerier than it actually is...but haunting, beautiful, terrifying and so shockingly sad. It's the opposite of nihilism.
Today is January 4th, the Christmas and New Year holidays have passed. Outside, it’s cloudy, foggy, cold, and rainy. I am sitting in my bed, listening to this music, and looking at this melancholic view
I may be late commenting on this video and maybe no one will see this comment, but I come here every morning and every day because of my depression. This soothing music helped me a lot. I just wanted to say thank you for letting me get through the tough times.
I listen to this,aphex twin and few other sounds almost EveryDay. Usually when I smoke. It's very peaceful and I always think of time as a whole. Past present and future all at once. Beautiful sounds.
I never played these games when they came out because I’m way too young, but the fact that this music feels nostalgic to me speaks volumes about Yamaoka’s skill as a composer.
I played them for the first time when I was 5 and had countless nightmares because of them but I still love them and have a special place for all of these games deep inside my heart.
Silent Hill 4 is still my favorite one. It marked me a lot because at the time I felt trapped inside my own house because of depression and other mental issues, and this game made me company for many drunk nights. It'll always have a special place in my heart. Edit: thank you all for the nice comments, I am glad you're all still around as well 💙
@@mister_anomaly glad to hear! Its amazing how different mediums can truly heal us, speak to us, and move us. Video games are art and ur story is proof of that. Wishing u many happy moons ahead :)
I always use these songs to help me write my poetry. So i wanted to share one. I'm not sure if it will ever be seen, but it's ok if it isn't. Take me away, past the burning sands, past the storms, past the crashing waves. Pull me to the calm depths, the peaceful silence, and the calm dim light. Looking up from oblivion as the cool water claims all. It was never enough to matter but always enough to keep me chasing. I pursued as far as I could and shed my final tears on nostalgia. I wanted to cast off only what I hate, but what I love must be cast away as well. All the stars erased with the sky. All the beauty became a fog before dissolving to black, and I couldn't make myself care to bring them to focus. It was never good enough to fill my cup, though never so little I should thirst. I drank myself on mediocrity and drowned in the monochrome.
Year 2002 I was 6 years old. My brother returned from his work. He was holding something. Yes that was SH II game. We installed the game. First James Sunderland mirror scene impressed me so much. Even tear came from my eyes. Some reason I wanted to be lost in Silent Hill. This game will stay in my hearth forever. Akira and the whole SH team. Thank you for this amazing experience ❤️
Never played the game but the music is so powerful, laying in bed at 2 am snow fall outside. I had the overwhelming urge to just go out there and experience it. just got back, with this song in my ears the whole time. Life is just that way sometimes you just have to go and do it, quiet reminder it’s your time and you need to make the best of the little ominous moments that span one in a million in our quiet existence.
@@isrv Same, I think many people who ends up listening to this masterpiece japanese called Akira eventually become a big fan of his work, it is so beautiful and melancholic, almost impossible to not falling in love with it. Plus, the SH2 game is the only one i've played (and it was in this year), never finished, but the game is amazing and I loved the terror experience.
yep, I know exactly what you mean. I started listening to the SH2 soundtrack before I played the game too because it was just so amazing, but the game as well is equally great. Def recommend to play it if you haven't yet
I swear, Silent Hill soundtracks were created for the lost and lonely souls drifting aimlessly through the streets of Silent Hill shrouded in fog, or in other words life itself. Akira Yamaoka has created a refuge, a sanctuary for us sit down in silence, and think about what lies ahead. The road may be long, perilous and sorrowful, but we will come to see by the end that it is worth it. Some paths were worth checking out, and the lessons that we had to learn were necessary, we had to see the truth for what it is and accept it in order to carry onto our journey over what comes next. It may be scary and sad, we may be too broken up and tired to even carry on... but we will surpass it. Somehow, we will have the courage inside of us to face what burdens us, what we were running away from. We will survive this, as we have many times before. The town knows and understands who we are and the contents of our hearts. And it wants us to keep fighting and make it through, no matter what. It will give us all the time we need. It wants us to scour through its deep and dark corners until we find where it is we are really meant to go to. When no one else does, Silent Hill believes in us. I hope you make your way out this foggy town, stranger❤️
Very well put, I find a sense of sorrow but peace with it. This sound, in particular, helps me sleep. Same back at you stranger enjoy your stroll through Silent Hill
This comment is so underrated 😮 this could quite possibly be the actual summary of the game so much so that it reaches out and grabs you, even holds you there so it shows you how this game is in that rare grey area that borders the insanity of Manhunt but in a much more psychological level. To imagine horror is much worse than someone showing you it kinda thing…
This music makes me completely disconnect from everything, it makes me feel a sensation that I can't explain, like familiar or nostalgic but distant at the same time unknown... I've been listening to it almost every night lately, and lying in bed at 2 in the morning with this playing in the background, it's very calming.
it is a Tuesday, April 2nd. It's dark and cold outside. The street lights are on and I'm sitting in the kitchen studying for school. Every day I experience what I experienced 17 years ago. Everything takes me a lot. I feel tired and lost. I don't know if I'll get out of this situation at some point, all I know is that I have no hope anymore. A lot of things depress me and make me very sad. I'm afraid of something but part of me doesn't feel it anymore. I'm not looking for help or attention. I just wanted to talk to you about my feelings. Maybe you understand me? -Yours Helin
The music which Akira Yamaoka conjured for SIlent Hill is a disquieting and very abstract masterpiece, playing on the end of every nerve. Brilliant stuff!
I write this at 3:30am, nearing twilight hours. I'm sad watching this, listening to this melody, contemplating the memories Silent Hill 2 gave me of being absolutely alone and depressed as a boy who didn't understand death, but was broken-hearted by it, sad that our innocent souls are fated to this unpleasant reality of memories haunting us, that no matter how alive we feel in those blissfully joyous moments, the mist of sorrow always finds a way in with no relief, haunted by a faint past of letdowns and faces of everything that has came and left, and nothing will ever stop leaving us...that even we've left but don't know it yet.
@@jasonschwartz4265Bro relax wtf type of world have y’all been living in 😂 at least you’re not in a third world country and even have time for playing video games, that itself is a privilege lol
This and #3 by Aphex Twin are the most beautiful tracks i've ever heard. I've been using this to calm anxiety for so long now and it brings me peace, thanks for this version of the track.
I've been using this audio to sleep for a few weeks now, I imagine myself absolutely alone, walking along a silent hill, only there do I experience genuine silence, I don't need to worry about anything else. I don't need to worry about anyone else. I'm alone, in Silent Hill every night.
Like some people's comments, I had issues with mental health a few years ago. I remember playing the Silent Hill Franchise games in the past but never really thought deeply into the meaning of their themes and symbols. I played again, in my depression period, between the years 2015~2017, and I can say that I had a unique experience playing these games again. When I think about it, I feel that I really visited Silent Hill in those years and left there all the monstrosities and bad thoughts that inhabited my mind at that time. Now, after so many years, I only feel fondness for these games, which I believe helped many people through difficult times. Yamaoka-sensei and SH Team, thank you very much.
not sure some of the comments mention being sad but to be honest this is refreshing and enlightening, a hum of peace and tranquility , I recommend listening in the car, it will make you feel nostalgic and remote in the world
that's the duality of silent hill. those with darkness in their hearts, will feel and experience it. those with a more optimistic light/innocence to them, don't see the same monsters. hear the same voices.
i've spent so much time here. just beautiful. this track is neither really sad nor happy, in my opinion. just pure surreal vibes. it reminds me that life has meaning.
Never played any of these games but I really really do appreciate the OST and atmosphere that these songs transmit. These songs are a perfect representation of what my head feels like and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Hey, I was scrolling through the comments while listening to this and I came across yours... when you said "I haven't even played it", it reminded me of myself back at the beginning of this year. My friend, who's a big fan of Silent Hill, introduced me to the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack back at the beginning of the year, and I fell in love with tracks like Black Fairy, Forest, Restless Dreams, and especially this one, Day of Night. I was absolutely swept away by the music and stunned at how this was all part of the soundtrack of a horror game. I had never played a Silent Hill game before. About a month ago, I finally decided to take the dive and play Silent Hill 2 (the original, not the remake). I played the PC version with the Enhanced Edition mod. I just finished the game a few weeks ago, and I cannot stop thinking about it, I am absolutely obsessed with it now. When I come back and listen to these tracks again, they still feel dreamy and peaceful, but there is now also a profound sense of melancholy, tragedy, and sadness that pervades them. It adds even more depth to the music. If you haven't yet played Silent Hill 2, I strongly recommend that you give it a try, and I'm saying this as a newcomer to the franchise. Keep in mind that I have no nostalgic attachment or bias towards the game/franchise whatsoever, and yet I think that this game, released all the way back in 2001, is an absolute masterpiece of psychological horror, atmosphere, and deeply compelling and emotionally-gripping storytelling. And the fact that I'm only getting around to playing it 23 years after its release and making that kind of verdict about the game, is a true testament to its quality. I plan on playing the remake that released back in October and I'm very excited to give that version a try, but definitely play the original first if you can. I am very glad I went with playing the original first. If you have a half-decent PC, play the PC version of the original with the Enhanced Edition mod installed. It fixes tons of bugs and issues, adds tons of quality of life improvements, and just makes it such a solid experience overall. Arguably the best way to play the game on PC. Otherwise you could install the PS2 emulator, PCSX2, and play the PS2 version of the game (specifically the Greatest Hits version for the added content in that version). Don't touch the godforsaken HD Collection or whatever it's called, that thing is a travesty and a hate crime. lol. Sorry for the long-winded comment, I just thought I would share my experience with you as somebody who up until very recently, only listened to the music without having played the game. I can confirm that the game is well worth your time. Now when I come back and listen to the music, I'm constantly fighting back tears thinking about the story, and I have NEVER had a game affect me in such a strong way like that. It's so tragic and otherworldly beautiful.
Listening to this song when you're going to a therapy session, I don't know how to describe if it's the worst feeling or if it's the best, you don't feel anything and you feel completely apathetic. I would like to be normal, but I'm exactly how this song sounds.
I remember this part. When I played this the first time, I didn't know how to get rid of this floating man, and I kind of stuck in a loop, so I turned off the console lol.
When you pick up the key from the forest world, you need to go through the save portal, deposit the key in your chest. Then the foggy, loop world will be gone
@@yichuanshih4719 overall it's not a bad game. They just needed to make the levels more memorable. They were pretty boring. Enemies are cool and the story is interesting.
Learning how to love myself with this song is sweet and sour... All the wrong decisions are now and here in my heart but feeling a relief in god and life.
Silent Hill 2. It's a game where it teaches us about life. Sadness, pain, anxiety, everything blend in one game. Such a memorable day. Would never forget the day I beat Silent Hill... I hope this song plays in my funeral..
I am in the middle of writing my dissertation and I always play Silent Hill music in the background. This track in particular though, seems to have always kept me aground. It seems to, ever so slightly, wash some of the pain and anxiety away. Like I am being baptized as an adult. In a way, I am glad that I even got to this point. This little document will be the crystallization of everything I have ever dreamed about, starting from my late teens. I'm an old man now. The thought scares me, I have put so much meaning in finishing this degree, and it may not really amount to anything at the end of it all. I may successfully finish, and find the experience wanting. Or I may not even make it to the end at all. I had intermittently played Silent Hill 2 during the course of my PhD, I didn't exactly have the time to be playing video games anymore. The atmosphere and the general sense of melancholy has always stuck with me though. Just a month or two ago I finally finished the game, ironically during the busiest phase of my studies so far. I was trying to get my papers published, but I somehow found pockets of time to play this game. It was an experience that I will always keep dearly. James's journey in the foggy town made me feel something, when I had mostly become apathetic to life after grinding for so long. If I ever make it to the end, Silent Hill will be a part of it.
@ye4897 шизики от ваносама или озона сбежались, видать есть какая-то sad нарезка с вышеописанными под саундтрек из сайлент хилла. теперь надо посмеяться
This is one of my favourite tracks in the whole of the franchise. I usually give it a listen the moment winter starts...this extended version is perfect xx
I never got the chance to complete Silent Hill 2 (where this song is played) I was too scared to play it as a kid and as a teen until I decided to play it, I got the enhanced edition in May 2023 and it was truly a unique experience, to everyone out there that hasn't experienced it, please do it, you'll feel satisfied you did.
Making an egg sandwich at 3am. Thinking about the past, all the friends and lovers who have come and gone. Life is so much more interesting than any piece fiction. Wishing the best to all the gamers out there and to the really young ones who cime across this, enjoy every second.
SH4 has a TON of issues, but it had a really interesting take on both body and supernatural horror. The concept of the apartment and its various scares was also ahead of its time. A very flawed game, but a very creepy game too. Walter being a great villain on top of it.
The horror, themes and story are some of the best in the horror genre imo. However, SH4 failed in the gameplay department, and these issues are a lot worse and obvious during the second half. :/
I feel the exact same. Somehow they made it that the environment felt alive outside, while you step by step uncovered its dark secrets. I've made a song to address this: th-cam.com/video/7Gk8vmvfQTs/w-d-xo.html
i binge almost on everything i like .. i still remember playing silent hill 3 none stop and finishing it in 2 days with breaks to eat sleep and walk outside i have these dreams which are supposed to be nightmares but are actually so appealing to me , going through mysterious strange places and rooms not knowing what place i would end up at , its like a horror movie with no fear or stress attached to it .. just being there exploring rooms i never seen before and don't know who they belonged to just progressing to unknown places with a flash light silent hill and resident evil will always have a special place in my heart
I listen to this in the rain it makes me feel so alive and so comforted at nights walking alone in the dark. I’ve always loved the fog, the Raina Ms the woods at night especially on full moon nights.
I've been wanting to play silent Hill for a long time, but I don't have enough time. I am very attracted to the oppressive atmosphere of the game, although these feelings and sensations cause me mental pain, but I like it... And there's nothing I can do about it. Maybe I'm winding myself up because I'm still a teenager, I just still can't figure out what's going on with me and what exactly makes me feel so bad.
Silent hill brings me peace and confort I don't know why. more than 20 years have passed and it keeps in my mind alive, thoses memories of playing this at long nights ill never forget, ps2 ...2002/3... god how long...
I love this…reminiscing about the old days I used to watch my big brothers play silent hill. I was never scared and honestly wanted to be there, with my brothers. It’s so calming…quiet….I miss it.
many years passed, Silent Hill was my first horror, when my friends play resident evil and were scared by zombies and monsters, i tried to beat SH, and overcome uncontrollable fear of SH atmosphere. i'm 35+ man now, but my skin still shivering from this music, (and in fog places irl). Ty Konami i love and hate your gift

One of the greatest things about the OST of Silent Hill, and the whole game, is that it doesn't bullshit you about how life really is. There's a day-to-day life and then there's the Silent Hill life, the true face of what we're actually living. One where the true motivations and secrets of the world around us are hidden everywhere but life doesn't pretend to be cheerier than it actually is...but haunting, beautiful, terrifying and so shockingly sad.

Today is January 4th, the Christmas and New Year holidays have passed. Outside, it’s cloudy, foggy, cold, and rainy. I am sitting in my bed, listening to this music, and looking at this melancholic view
wish I were you, I love those views 😔
Hope things are better now 🙃(May 2024)
I may be late commenting on this video and maybe no one will see this comment, but I come here every morning and every day because of my depression. This soothing music helped me a lot. I just wanted to say thank you for letting me get through the tough times.
I listen to this,aphex twin and few other sounds almost EveryDay. Usually when I smoke. It's very peaceful and I always think of time as a whole. Past present and future all at once. Beautiful sounds.
Hidden gem fr been listening for 2 years. Helps sort out my thougts at night
Rest up brothers
Here, in our special place.
You are not alone! I do the same thing.
I never played these games when they came out because I’m way too young, but the fact that this music feels nostalgic to me speaks volumes about Yamaoka’s skill as a composer.
I played them for the first time when I was 5 and had countless nightmares because of them but I still love them and have a special place for all of these games deep inside my heart.
Silent Hill 4 is still my favorite one. It marked me a lot because at the time I felt trapped inside my own house because of depression and other mental issues, and this game made me company for many drunk nights. It'll always have a special place in my heart.
Edit: thank you all for the nice comments, I am glad you're all still around as well 💙
my bro
Hope your experience of life is more positive thanks to this wonderful piece of human art 🎭☯️
@@joey_yangyin it sure is! These games helped me tons throughout the years, thank you friend 💙
@@mister_anomaly glad to hear! Its amazing how different mediums can truly heal us, speak to us, and move us. Video games are art and ur story is proof of that. Wishing u many happy moons ahead :)
Так же само было у меня только с серией Resident Evil
I always use these songs to help me write my poetry. So i wanted to share one. I'm not sure if it will ever be seen, but it's ok if it isn't.
Take me away, past the burning sands, past the storms, past the crashing waves.
Pull me to the calm depths, the peaceful silence, and the calm dim light. Looking up from oblivion as the cool water claims all.
It was never enough to matter but always enough to keep me chasing. I pursued as far as I could and shed my final tears on nostalgia.
I wanted to cast off only what I hate, but what I love must be cast away as well. All the stars erased with the sky. All the beauty became a fog before dissolving to black, and I couldn't make myself care to bring them to focus.
It was never good enough to fill my cup, though never so little I should thirst. I drank myself on mediocrity and drowned in the monochrome.
It was stunning...
Year 2002
I was 6 years old. My brother returned from his work. He was holding something. Yes that was SH II game. We installed the game. First James Sunderland mirror scene impressed me so much. Even tear came from my eyes. Some reason I wanted to be lost in Silent Hill. This game will stay in my hearth forever. Akira and the whole SH team. Thank you for this amazing experience ❤️
Dude... this is the kind of music I listen to while working out at the gym. It's hard to explain this to people who ask what my musical taste is.
Dark ambient music.
@@theepicpeguinis lo-fi electronica
Never played the game but the music is so powerful, laying in bed at 2 am snow fall outside. I had the overwhelming urge to just go out there and experience it. just got back, with this song in my ears the whole time. Life is just that way sometimes you just have to go and do it, quiet reminder it’s your time and you need to make the best of the little ominous moments that span one in a million in our quiet existence.
what a beautiful comment. i will save it
Same but I know the music comes from a different time. A time where we were younger and had not much responsibilities 😢
Same here I’m such a silent hill fan but never played the game
@@isrv Same, I think many people who ends up listening to this masterpiece japanese called Akira eventually become a big fan of his work, it is so beautiful and melancholic, almost impossible to not falling in love with it. Plus, the SH2 game is the only one i've played (and it was in this year), never finished, but the game is amazing and I loved the terror experience.
yep, I know exactly what you mean. I started listening to the SH2 soundtrack before I played the game too because it was just so amazing, but the game as well is equally great. Def recommend to play it if you haven't yet
This is pure beauty, I'm in love with this. Don't care what happens, I'll always return to this music eventually.
The 480p texture shimmer gave these graphics SO MUCH LIFE. The pure nostalgia from that lamp is absolutely insane.
i was lookng for a tutrorial everywhere, maybe you familiar with this effect?
I swear, Silent Hill soundtracks were created for the lost and lonely souls drifting aimlessly through the streets of Silent Hill shrouded in fog, or in other words life itself. Akira Yamaoka has created a refuge, a sanctuary for us sit down in silence, and think about what lies ahead. The road may be long, perilous and sorrowful, but we will come to see by the end that it is worth it. Some paths were worth checking out, and the lessons that we had to learn were necessary, we had to see the truth for what it is and accept it in order to carry onto our journey over what comes next. It may be scary and sad, we may be too broken up and tired to even carry on... but we will surpass it. Somehow, we will have the courage inside of us to face what burdens us, what we were running away from. We will survive this, as we have many times before. The town knows and understands who we are and the contents of our hearts. And it wants us to keep fighting and make it through, no matter what. It will give us all the time we need. It wants us to scour through its deep and dark corners until we find where it is we are really meant to go to. When no one else does, Silent Hill believes in us. I hope you make your way out this foggy town, stranger❤️
Very well put, I find a sense of sorrow but peace with it. This sound, in particular, helps me sleep. Same back at you stranger enjoy your stroll through Silent Hill
This song is curius, i find peace and focus to work.
some would say...he created a small sanctuary ;D
This comment is so underrated 😮 this could quite possibly be the actual summary of the game so much so that it reaches out and grabs you, even holds you there so it shows you how this game is in that rare grey area that borders the insanity of Manhunt but in a much more psychological level. To imagine horror is much worse than someone showing you it kinda thing…
listening to this while reading stories from the comments, warms my heart and calms me
This music makes me completely disconnect from everything, it makes me feel a sensation that I can't explain, like familiar or nostalgic but distant at the same time unknown... I've been listening to it almost every night lately, and lying in bed at 2 in the morning with this playing in the background, it's very calming.
Swareeeee
OMG SAME?! finally someone who listens to it GETS IT!!! This music is just beautiful and ominous, but in a good way? IDKKKKK
Liminal.
i dont care
sounds like depression
it is a Tuesday, April 2nd. It's dark and cold outside. The street lights are on and I'm sitting in the kitchen studying for school. Every day I experience what I experienced 17 years ago. Everything takes me a lot. I feel tired and lost. I don't know if I'll get out of this situation at some point, all I know is that I have no hope anymore. A lot of things depress me and make me very sad. I'm afraid of something but part of me doesn't feel it anymore. I'm not looking for help or attention. I just wanted to talk to you about my feelings. Maybe you understand me?
-Yours Helin
The day of night is my "go to sleep" and meditation theme.
No matter how the weather outside, it takes me to Silent Hill in my dreams..
The music which Akira Yamaoka conjured for SIlent Hill is a disquieting and very abstract masterpiece, playing on the end of every nerve. Brilliant stuff!
I write this at 3:30am, nearing twilight hours. I'm sad watching this, listening to this melody, contemplating the memories Silent Hill 2 gave me of being absolutely alone and depressed as a boy who didn't understand death, but was broken-hearted by it, sad that our innocent souls are fated to this unpleasant reality of memories haunting us, that no matter how alive we feel in those blissfully joyous moments, the mist of sorrow always finds a way in with no relief, haunted by a faint past of letdowns and faces of everything that has came and left, and nothing will ever stop leaving us...that even we've left but don't know it yet.
Aah I read all that while taking a shit.
LOL
I appreciate that posted this. It shows theres yet hope that some humans with humanity left in them.
This is so true ❤️🩹thanks for this

This and #3 by Aphex Twin are the most beautiful tracks i've ever heard. I've been using this to calm anxiety for so long now and it brings me peace, thanks for this version of the track.
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug
Yo truuu thaa
= Сеанс терпения для своих =
It's unbelievable how much I listen to this daily.
I've been using this audio to sleep for a few weeks now, I imagine myself absolutely alone, walking along a silent hill, only there do I experience genuine silence, I don't need to worry about anything else. I don't need to worry about anyone else. I'm alone, in Silent Hill every night.
Like some people's comments, I had issues with mental health a few years ago. I remember playing the Silent Hill Franchise games in the past but never really thought deeply into the meaning of their themes and symbols. I played again, in my depression period, between the years 2015~2017, and I can say that I had a unique experience playing these games again. When I think about it, I feel that I really visited Silent Hill in those years and left there all the monstrosities and bad thoughts that inhabited my mind at that time. Now, after so many years, I only feel fondness for these games, which I believe helped many people through difficult times. Yamaoka-sensei and SH Team, thank you very much.
not sure some of the comments mention being sad but to be honest this is refreshing and enlightening, a hum of peace and tranquility
, I recommend listening in the car, it will make you feel nostalgic and remote in the world
Big agree.
that's the duality of silent hill. those with darkness in their hearts, will feel and experience it. those with a more optimistic light/innocence to them, don't see the same monsters. hear the same voices.
"In my restless dreams,
I see that town."
Silent Hill
Time flies so fast over us...what a good memories brother.
I love how it starts normal then progressively gets more slowed down 🖤
Damn a whole year 😢
This song... i can't really describe it, but somehow, it helps me deal with my inner problems.
The peace and fear of loneliness come together
i've spent so much time here. just beautiful. this track is neither really sad nor happy, in my opinion. just pure surreal vibes. it reminds me that life has meaning.
The song that is epitome of sorrow and sadness, words cannot experience what fond memories it brings and the amount of tears...
this is the perfect song to fall asleep to
Never played any of these games but I really really do appreciate the OST and atmosphere that these songs transmit. These songs are a perfect representation of what my head feels like and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Honestly play them. You can play for free on an emulator for PC. Amazing experience you will not regret it.
i dont know why i am so obsessed with this universe. Nothing has ever touched me like this game, and i havent even played it.
Hey, I was scrolling through the comments while listening to this and I came across yours... when you said "I haven't even played it", it reminded me of myself back at the beginning of this year. My friend, who's a big fan of Silent Hill, introduced me to the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack back at the beginning of the year, and I fell in love with tracks like Black Fairy, Forest, Restless Dreams, and especially this one, Day of Night. I was absolutely swept away by the music and stunned at how this was all part of the soundtrack of a horror game. I had never played a Silent Hill game before. About a month ago, I finally decided to take the dive and play Silent Hill 2 (the original, not the remake). I played the PC version with the Enhanced Edition mod. I just finished the game a few weeks ago, and I cannot stop thinking about it, I am absolutely obsessed with it now. When I come back and listen to these tracks again, they still feel dreamy and peaceful, but there is now also a profound sense of melancholy, tragedy, and sadness that pervades them. It adds even more depth to the music.
If you haven't yet played Silent Hill 2, I strongly recommend that you give it a try, and I'm saying this as a newcomer to the franchise. Keep in mind that I have no nostalgic attachment or bias towards the game/franchise whatsoever, and yet I think that this game, released all the way back in 2001, is an absolute masterpiece of psychological horror, atmosphere, and deeply compelling and emotionally-gripping storytelling. And the fact that I'm only getting around to playing it 23 years after its release and making that kind of verdict about the game, is a true testament to its quality.
I plan on playing the remake that released back in October and I'm very excited to give that version a try, but definitely play the original first if you can. I am very glad I went with playing the original first. If you have a half-decent PC, play the PC version of the original with the Enhanced Edition mod installed. It fixes tons of bugs and issues, adds tons of quality of life improvements, and just makes it such a solid experience overall. Arguably the best way to play the game on PC. Otherwise you could install the PS2 emulator, PCSX2, and play the PS2 version of the game (specifically the Greatest Hits version for the added content in that version). Don't touch the godforsaken HD Collection or whatever it's called, that thing is a travesty and a hate crime. lol.
Sorry for the long-winded comment, I just thought I would share my experience with you as somebody who up until very recently, only listened to the music without having played the game. I can confirm that the game is well worth your time. Now when I come back and listen to the music, I'm constantly fighting back tears thinking about the story, and I have NEVER had a game affect me in such a strong way like that. It's so tragic and otherworldly beautiful.

Listening to this song when you're going to a therapy session, I don't know how to describe if it's the worst feeling or if it's the best, you don't feel anything and you feel completely apathetic. I would like to be normal, but I'm exactly how this song sounds.

How a song can generate a feeling of warmth and at the same time mystery and far away
This is my favorite music in the world
this song is unforgettable and just makes me feel empty whenever I hear it. it’s lovely.
Silent Hill 2. It's a game where it teaches us about life. Sadness, pain, anxiety, everything blend in one game. Such a memorable day. Would never forget the day I beat Silent Hill... I hope this song plays in my funeral..
the warm atmosphere of rainy and foggy sad days spend in solitude
*Old memories. Sadness. Grief. Hollowness of lovelessness.*
I am in the middle of writing my dissertation and I always play Silent Hill music in the background. This track in particular though, seems to have always kept me aground. It seems to, ever so slightly, wash some of the pain and anxiety away. Like I am being baptized as an adult.
In a way, I am glad that I even got to this point. This little document will be the crystallization of everything I have ever dreamed about, starting from my late teens. I'm an old man now. The thought scares me, I have put so much meaning in finishing this degree, and it may not really amount to anything at the end of it all. I may successfully finish, and find the experience wanting. Or I may not even make it to the end at all.
I had intermittently played Silent Hill 2 during the course of my PhD, I didn't exactly have the time to be playing video games anymore. The atmosphere and the general sense of melancholy has always stuck with me though. Just a month or two ago I finally finished the game, ironically during the busiest phase of my studies so far. I was trying to get my papers published, but I somehow found pockets of time to play this game. It was an experience that I will always keep dearly. James's journey in the foggy town made me feel something, when I had mostly become apathetic to life after grinding for so long.
If I ever make it to the end, Silent Hill will be a part of it.
This song makes me feel understood
this makes me cry really hard, its SO emotional!

For me this is the best game I ever played. I have such a great memories ....
SH4 has a TON of issues, but it had a really interesting take on both body and supernatural horror. The concept of the apartment and its various scares was also ahead of its time. A very flawed game, but a very creepy game too. Walter being a great villain on top of it.
The horror, themes and story are some of the best in the horror genre imo. However, SH4 failed in the gameplay department, and these issues are a lot worse and obvious during the second half. :/
I feel the exact same. Somehow they made it that the environment felt alive outside, while you step by step uncovered its dark secrets. I've made a song to address this: th-cam.com/video/7Gk8vmvfQTs/w-d-xo.html

i binge almost on everything i like .. i still remember playing silent hill 3 none stop and finishing it in 2 days with breaks to eat sleep and walk outside
i have these dreams which are supposed to be nightmares but are actually so appealing to me , going through mysterious strange places and rooms not knowing what place i would end up at , its like a horror movie with no fear or stress attached to it .. just being there exploring rooms i never seen before and don't know who they belonged to just progressing to unknown places with a flash light
silent hill and resident evil will always have a special place in my heart
I listen to this in the rain it makes me feel so alive and so comforted at nights walking alone in the dark. I’ve always loved the fog, the Raina Ms the woods at night especially on full moon nights.
I've been wanting to play silent Hill for a long time, but I don't have enough time. I am very attracted to the oppressive atmosphere of the game, although these feelings and sensations cause me mental pain, but I like it... And there's nothing I can do about it. Maybe I'm winding myself up because I'm still a teenager, I just still can't figure out what's going on with me and what exactly makes me feel so bad.
me 2 lil bro
Silent hill brings me peace and confort I don't know why. more than 20 years have passed and it keeps in my mind alive, thoses memories of playing this at long nights ill never forget, ps2 ...2002/3... god how long...
This sound make me feel out of this world, thanks Akira Yamaoka....
its amazing how you can get lost in these soundtracks just as silent hill itself
I love this…reminiscing about the old days I used to watch my big brothers play silent hill. I was never scared and honestly wanted to be there, with my brothers. It’s so calming…quiet….I miss it.
this is heavenly
i can't stop listening
so nostalgic it hurts.
Not alone. :)
many years passed, Silent Hill was my first horror, when my friends play resident evil and were scared by zombies and monsters, i tried to beat SH, and overcome uncontrollable fear of SH atmosphere. i'm 35+ man now, but my skin still shivering from this music, (and in fog places irl). Ty Konami i love and hate your gift
That music makes you to feel to exist in a world that does not exists. So thank you, it is my one of favourites to do my academic shit.
