That is honestly beautiful. And how it feels to me. If anything, that's the Star Wars fan in you talking. The real spirit as to why it's real, despite being fictional.
@@nicolascharron1038 I can confirm that. There's just something so moving and beautiful about the essence of Star Wars and this song captures that essence.
@@a.m.9993 It does. It feels like something out of a dream. Despite it being based out of reality, it's also happening right at the moment you're participating in it.
Best music in all of Star Wars. I was in college when this game came out, and I used to keep a save in the hideout just so I could load it, leave my Xbox & TV on, and have this song playing as I went to sleep.
How cool! When I was in college nothing as impactful came out. 2012-15. Can't imagine what that must have felt like with an older frame of relevance to life. I played it when I was in my early teens. Very difference experiences we had. I only wish I could play it sooner in life and all over again. My best friend spoiled it for me because he assumed I had played it before because I was quite a starwars fan. Never finished it. I was gutted. Still regret it to this day. This music is incredibly beautiful but always brings me pangs of nostalgia and sadness.
I always felt kind of safe in the Taris apartment because of this song but it also made me kind of sad because I knew one day I'd have to leave to the real world.
Taris in KOTOR kinda reminds me of Destiny Islands in Kingdom Hearts. A starting world where you meet your friends, that is destroyed by the darkness and sends you on a quest to save the world.
It is indeed interesting, that a lot of team members of Revan can be considered Tarisians, though their homeworld is a different one: Mission Vao, Zaalbar, Canderous Ordo, T3-M4 and even Juhani.
And it's basically how RPG stories handle themselves. It's that feeling every Hero does in their journey. Those first steps of leaving the comfort of home. Mother's play a huge part in it too (I.E Cloud Strife's Mother, Anakin's mother). We had Kokiri Forest in Ocarina of Time, Luke's homestead in the original Star Wars Film, The beginning of the Legend of Spyro, the Shire from Lord of the Rings... These forms of storytelling will never become stale. It takes imaginations like ours to retell it with a new form of Gusto.
I really like how they put this theme in the very beginning (Taris) of the game and near the very end (on top of the ancient temple on the unknown world). When you stand there with Bastila, about to fight, this theme reminds you of the beginning of the game when the thing were so incredibly different, when you were just a soldier / scout / scoundrel and Bastila was one of the most promising Jedi the Order had to offer. Then you realize how much has changed and, imo, that really moves you emotionally, at least the first time you play the game, especially considering the somewhat melancholic aspect to this theme. Many people mainly remember the big plot twist on the Leviathan but that scene on top of the temple will always stick with me. It's just such a perfect moment. :)
I absolutely agree! When I entered that temple rooftop for the first time... I knew something important was going to happen, that this was not just a coincidence. I walked to the door... and was right. And I must also agree about the plot twist - for me, it's nothing I remember being special at all, actually. What I remember when thinking of KotOR is the journey as a whole... and this track, with the Taris apartement.
Yeah it is really cathartic in that respect. I really like the calm, introspective feeling of this music, I like to sit down sometimes and just listen to it with my eyes closed because it reminds me of being on Taris back in Kotor, it's the only moment you are safe and totally hidden away from the world even if but for a moment.
Well said, I like the purpose this track has in the story. You first hear it when the world opens to you with dozens of choices to make, and it returns when there is one final choice.
"Taris? The planet's all one big city but its golden years are long past. The way I hear, the rich live in all the tops of the tall towers and if you're poor you live down in the shadows and it just gets worse the lower you go."
I'm about to be 28 years old, with 3 kids of my own. I still occasionally listen to this, just to feel my own childhood again. This simple track evokes strong feelings, It's like I'm listening to entire chapter of my life all at once.
I'm about to be 25 with no kids. But this hit me. This game is one of those special few where you huddle around and play it with family and friends and have a great time together. And I think the apartments bring out that feeling in a way.
+Gabe Newell pretty dumb comment. Wtf is "true star wars fan". I am a "true star wars fan" an don't consider this canon. YOUR opinion doesn't influence ALL "true" star wars fan. great game. not canon - a star wars fan
This is the true Star Wars. Not the shit Lucas and Disney have turned it into. Funny how a once great idea can be so butchered and, ultimately, be understood better by others rather than the original creator.
I think turning them into movies would've just lessened them. Kotor I and II live from making your choices and how you interact with the characters and the world. Streamlining it by making a movie for the "canon" events would've taken away from that feeling.
awesome music in the background carth is there hey I think I wanna go talk to carth and learn some stuff from him (Carth has something he wants to talk to u about) Carth: I don't wanna talk about it
This song makes me so sad. The entire game gets to me. I hope they continue Kotor. Show what was. Show what can. Show what will. This is the best star wars game ever made.
@@H0wlrunn3r Such an intense and powerful feeling this song evokes. I absolutely can relate to what you're talking about it. Just feeling the sheer weight of it all.
I remember the very first time I played this. I remember cycling through all the dialogue options with Carth, trying to piece things together, like, "Who is Revan?" "Who is Malak?" "Who is Bastila? Why is she important?" and just being awestruck. It made me feel so important, like the fate of the universe may be in my hands. And after everything that happened afterwards, leading up to the revelation, and up to the moment you see Bastila in the ancient temple on Rakata Prime, everything came full circle. Easily the best game I ever played.
i remember the first time i listened to this song. i was 18. devastated, lonely, weird, unsuccesful. All my life i lived for others, for my mom, to understand and integrate myself to society... to make others happy. I was a stupid soul, floating without having direction to anywhere. i was totally dreamy, i was not able to possess any willpower in me. One of those days... i dont wanna get into personal details... i heard something that made me hit bottom. At those days while playing kotor, i was often going to my hideout just to listen to this music, feeling my pain deep inside. i could never know that this would impact me so much. At the night the day i felt like i hit the bottom, cried all night without knowing exactly why, i thought about my past, i had the melody of this song, i was just saying to myself ''i will live a life that i will never regret'' repeatedly. And after that 'explosion' my life changed. I changed. since then when i felt lost or tired, i remembered that night and recovered my strength. I have chosen the hardest and the most risky decisions in my life, and now im in a position that i can feel myself as a whole and understand things around me without beeing part of something. IF this song wasnt exist... probably such transformation would take years. You helped me, the composer, whoever you are. Im grateful.
Dude.... that’s beautiful. Really moving to hear the power of music, of art. Who knew it could make such a huge impact. I knew there were more reasons than one that I loved this game
I’m 2 years late but in exactly the same boat, 19, and only beginning to make risky decisions for myself but it’s starting to pay off. I feel so much better knowing that I’m making sections for me and not for anyone else, and for once in my life I feel like I have control, and it’s not other people living what could’ve been their life through me, I’m living my own life now.

So many memories....just lost my teenage years in this game. Hearing Carth talk to Revan about the Force and how it can wipe away your memories and destroy your identity. Then you tell Bastila about the visions and the Force flowing back into yourself and then on Rakata Prime when Bastila confronts Revan and he rejoins the Sith and how destinies were founded upon destinies. One of the best tracks in Star Wars history and a piece of my gaming life. Thank you so much, Jeremy Soule for your incredible work!
I think it was in this room and with Bastila Shan theme music that I thought "Hey, the whole Galaxy is out there, I can expect everything, see almost anything possible... Even though this is the Galaxy long before Luke Skywalker and Endor, before Vader and Clone Wars, before Amidala in her royal garments and even Emperor Palpatine with all of his schemes".
neterwan I really like the Old Republic, because it doesn't focus on the main baddies and goodies that everyone knows and associates with in SW. It's a whole other side.
***** SWTOR surely had its moments and I enjoyed many themes in that game. But nevertheless for me it is important to have the so-called favourite parts in the story. SWTOR however doesn't seem to bring too many names to remember -from my team for instance.
neterwan Yes, yes.... You're right about that, unfortunately. Some of the ToR comic book characters are pretty nice, though. Arca Jeth helped put some of the final touches on my main Jedi story character.
This game was so good I still feel that emotion all these years later. I hope you all understand you've experienced a work of art. This sort of thing only happens once in a lifetime.
Wow. I am so lucky I got to play this game as a kid. Beautiful peice. The nostalgia hurts. Been so long, feels like my memories of playing it belong to a different person, and I was just fortunate enough to inherit them somehow.
Such an old video... yet people are still here commenting about an even older game. This game is so memorable, it's characters are believable and the world feels so real. You rarely get games these days that make you miss it so damn much after finishing it.
This is where my love for star wars started all those years ago. I played it when it came out and was in love since. I just finished my last class story in The old republic and this is like comming home
This soundtrack coupled with the story of the game really brings a feeling of nostalgia about the star wars universe... Truly letting you get to grips with how ancient the conflicts of the jedi and sith really are
This game had such good atmosphere. I lost track of how many times I've stood idle at one spot for too long, in many different places in the game, sometimes in the middle of a dialog option and I would drift to sleep, for the whole night, with the sound of the ambiance on the TV and I'd wake up hours later and still be in the same spot with the controller in my hand still in the chair, or full on under the covers in bed cause I was too tired to keep playing and I didn't want to turn the game off. Even when I was playing and awake, the sounds of the ambiance would lull me to sleep.
I only recently finished playing Kotor I and I have gotten a decent ways into Kotor II, but I still get this feeling of calm and peace as if I were remembering a fond memory of something that happened ages ago. I'm sure years from now I will still get this feeling while listening to Taris' music, it's amazing.
Honestly it's an amazing game even in all of its glitchy and polygonal glory. I loved it and I hope people are still playing the Kotor games years from now, even though it may become even more difficult with time as technology advances.
Listening to this has taken me back so many years. Remember this was the background tune to finding Bastila on the Temple roof and my heart sunk as a kid finding she had joined the dark side.
Music still brings tears to my eyes. Don’t know why. Just… hits me so hard sometimes. Beautiful game. Beautiful convergence of music, story, character and dialogue. Such a pure game. Thank you for uploading these videos. When our technology can’t play this game anymore, it’s nice to still have footage like this. ❤️
Such a lovely little apartment, for some reason I very fondly remember there being a Quarren noble in the corridor who would complain about the apartment block not being as nice as his castle on Mon Cala.
I can still see it. 9 year old me booting this up on my grandpa's computer on the 20th of May, 2008. I didn't know why I liked this. Now I do. Thank you for the amazing upload, I lost the disc a couple years back and I'm so glad I can hear this again.
This music and you... just staying in this calm and safe place, making conversation with your teammates because you sincerely wanna know them better. That was amazing time.
Aleksander Mikhailov I was just thinking this, look at how sparsely placed the furniture is, and how does this hideout go on being unoccupied? Surely the demand for giant apartment rooms like this on Taris is at a premium
I remember playing this game as a kid and being genuinely worried that the Sith would discover me while walking around on Taris. I used to actually spend time in the hideout because it was the only place I felt truly safe in the game.
THANK YOU! I always listen for this piece when I play, then make sure no one is talking so I can barely hear this-but no longer! I love this game and have been thru 4 discs. LOOVE me some Mission Vao!
Take time to appreciate things with the childish wonder you did when you played KOTOR. You'll find that it is still possible to make new beautiful memories :) Stop and appreciate the small things.
i don't think there's been a game that really had music that had such epicness and grandeur. i would write a lot of fanfiction after playing the game and just play the music from the soundtrack so I could let my mind wander as it drifted a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
When I first played this game in 2013 ( I know I was late to the KOTOR party) and I first heard this song. I knew that this game was going to be special! Still one of my favorite games of all time!
Agree 100%. People call K2 deep and philosophical, and the gameplay is definitely better, but I'll still take the magical Star Wars feeling that K1 gives any day.
This apartment at one moment. Had a former sith lord. The jedi's champion. The future high admiral of the republic navy. The last daughter of taris. The future chieftain of the wookies. And a top of the line droid made by the badest crime lord of his time.
If you think my channel deserves a few dollars then you can now become a patron!

Might one day become possible with neural technology advancements in the near-mid future.

+Lauren Nerual wow man it makes me so happy to know that there are still people jumping into kotor after 10 plus years :)
Honestly it's an amazing game even in all of its glitchy and polygonal glory. I loved it and I hope people are still playing the Kotor games years from now, even though it may become even more difficult with time as technology advances.
you know the games getting a remake
ben kenobi you best not be lyin
WHAT please be true
The fact that this plays when you're talking with dark side Bastila on the beach planet is amazing
Listening to this has taken me back so many years. Remember this was the background tune to finding Bastila on the Temple roof and my heart sunk as a kid finding she had joined the dark side.
So glad someone put this track up. I love the quiet mood this music delivers.
Music still brings tears to my eyes. Don’t know why. Just… hits me so hard sometimes. Beautiful game. Beautiful convergence of music, story, character and dialogue. Such a pure game. Thank you for uploading these videos. When our technology can’t play this game anymore, it’s nice to still have footage like this. ❤️
Such a lovely little apartment, for some reason I very fondly remember there being a Quarren noble in the corridor who would complain about the apartment block not being as nice as his castle on Mon Cala.
I can still see it. 9 year old me booting this up on my grandpa's computer on the 20th of May, 2008. I didn't know why I liked this. Now I do. Thank you for the amazing upload, I lost the disc a couple years back and I'm so glad I can hear this again.
I love the bit with Luke's theme.
* Nostalgia creeps in * This still has to be THE best Star Wars game out there! Love falling asleep to this music... puts me at ease instantly :)
It isn't quite the same without the background sound effects of the speeders and whatnot, as beautiful as this music is. Thanks for this
For a game going on over two decades old, it still holds up outstandingly well. Absolutely phenomenal. They just don't make them like they used to.
The way it integrates and develops the Force theme is just... incredible.
*They say the Force can do terrible things to a mind.*
*It can wipe away your memories and destroy your very identity.*
listening to this while doing homework is the best
these vids with the ingame ambiance are awesome
Very soothing and relaxing. When I close my eyes to this I feel like a teenager again.
This music and you... just staying in this calm and safe place, making conversation with your teammates because you sincerely wanna know them better.
That was amazing time.
wtf this place is HUUUUGE! How are they paying for this?
Aleksander Mikhailov I was just thinking this, look at how sparsely placed the furniture is, and how does this hideout go on being unoccupied? Surely the demand for giant apartment rooms like this on Taris is at a premium
And yet nowadays we get shitty housing so small I have to rent a storage unit with friends just to hold half the furniture that wont fit. xD
Clarification:Using Force Persuade=weak minds giving you money=paying tax for the place.Sith Soldiers coming=big ass shootout master.
Trask Ulgo had rich family back on Taris, left Carth the keys
Well, no bathroom, no kitchen...cheap?
A game released 20 years ago is still better written that the last 3 Star Wars movies
"It's beautiful. I've looked at this for five hours now."
Always loved this track man.
This always sounded very eerie to me, in a good way
this apartment is filled with more story that that disney shit which i simply consider noncanon just to sleep easier.
I remember playing this game as a kid and being genuinely worried that the Sith would discover me while walking around on Taris. I used to actually spend time in the hideout because it was the only place I felt truly safe in the game.
This music makes me wanna just break down and cry. It is the beginning of a fantastic journey
And the beginning of the end, when you get to the unknown planet
Started playing this game a few days ago.
It's amazing. And this theme is my favorite so far.
This was the game that made me love Star Wars. I still think back fondly of my time with this game at such a young age. Wonderful stuff.
I miss playing this game... I miss being 15 years old, back in 2003...
I absolutely love the KOTOR soundtrack. Ever since I first played the game. Thnx for doing this :)
This song is my number one favorite, it reminds me of Bastila, and the conflicts she faced both on the light side and dark side.
This game will never get old i have it on my computer and i play it over and over no matter how many times i beat it.
I still have the saves from 2003 on a little games hardrive. :)
Love Jeremy Soule's music. Morrowind and Kotor sound so very similar, they are both amazing soundtracks.
I imagine the cityscape just beyond the windows. Then part of Luke's theme appears. Damn beautiful.
Better than the Force awakens soundtrack
Thank You Spider-Man It Sure Is! ✅👍👍
THANK YOU! I always listen for this piece when I play, then make sure no one is talking so I can barely hear this-but no longer! I love this game and have been thru 4 discs. LOOVE me some Mission Vao!
Take time to appreciate things with the childish wonder you did when you played KOTOR. You'll find that it is still possible to make new beautiful memories :) Stop and appreciate the small things.
i don't think there's been a game that really had music that had such epicness and grandeur.
i would write a lot of fanfiction after playing the game and just play the music from the soundtrack so I could let my mind wander as it drifted a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
I love everyone who left a comment because yes. We've all felt something with this game, and still do to this day.
Makes me think of upgrading weapons and fast traveling to safe house to heal 😭😭😭😭
"They say SW Ambience can do wonderful things to a mind. It can bring back nostalgia and reaffirm your very identity."
Best Star Wars music ever.
This is soo much nostalgia. Thank you for uploading this
When I first played this game in 2013 ( I know I was late to the KOTOR party) and I first heard this song. I knew that this game was going to be special! Still one of my favorite games of all time!
I've played this game several times but I am just now realizing how mysterious and chill this soundtrack is.
Interestingly, it's the same composer who does the Elder Scrolls music. Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, etc.
While still a great game, Kotor 2 doesn't hold a candle to the feelings only Kotor 1 gives.
Miguel Zino Kotor 2 is a completely different kind of feeling
Well, as for my game, most of the background music is kinda glitched
So, I relate more to KOTOR I background music more than KOTOR II
Like comparing Fallout 3 to New Vegas
(Obsidian does a pretty awesome job of making the evil options seem fun)
Agree 100%. People call K2 deep and philosophical, and the gameplay is definitely better, but I'll still take the magical Star Wars feeling that K1 gives any day.
That's a really nice apartment with high ceilings to have been an abandoned!
SIR, YOU HAVE WON THE INTERNETZ
Kotor's music and atmosphere give me an eternal comfort that I think may be present in my final moments of life, among other things of course.
thank you for uploading this so many memories
Hey man, thanks for making this, need this to calm myself down when im studying or practicing.
So nostalgic
Thank you for uploading this.
One of my favorite Star Wars themes! So underrated!
OMG this takes me so far back when i played KOTOR for the first time... 13 years wow. Hope the remake will come out soon. Thx for the Music :)
Why do you need a remake? Just play the original game with all its charm!
this is music that plays it my head sometimes, along with a select few others
I dont even think it was the game anymore. The hypnotizing soundtrack is what made me fall in love with this title for the rest of my life
That's not a bad apartment. High ceilings... plenty of space to install a loft. Hard to keep it heated though.
1080p gets you a pretty good apartment!
This apartment at one moment. Had a former sith lord. The jedi's champion. The future high admiral of the republic navy. The last daughter of taris. The future chieftain of the wookies. And a top of the line droid made by the badest crime lord of his time.
and a mandalorian who in the future would become the new mandalore
I don't think Disney will ever capture what this game is/was to us.
never. ever. disney gives a shit about immersion. all they care about is quick money.
"Hey you your finally awake!" Oh wait wrong game
Taris apartments theme makes me feel safe.
still does
Yup, still here
No game has such atmosphere as this ... Best Ever
