Yamaoka was saying that during the first part he was only experimenting and had barely any idea how to make industrial music ... and this is the result. This man is a genius
Who listens to Silent Hill every day? I do - I have a playlist of about 50 different tracks, even play it in my car. Amazing. I'm 45 years old as well (damn, time fly's!!!) :)
Oh, heck! Glad to find an elder peep also still kinda obsessed with Silent Hill and it's music! I'm in my 20's, my mom's around your age, she was the one to get me into it. 😂
I'll always listen to these tracks. They're ingrained in my mind. Whenever I listen to Yamaoka's music, it's like coming back to a bar I'm a regular in and ordering 'the usual'.
I have learned I can't do that. After choosing a song I liked as my alarm, I began to associate it with having to wake up early. It has become a song I immediately skip
@@JoeBob189 You gotta set different songs as alarms for different days of the week dude, that way you'll wake up hearing something you like without it becoming annoying
@@juggernog_consumer I remember my first playthrough, I got the bad ending since I didn't have a walkthrough, and I literally didn't know what to do with the bottle when I picked it up, I remember being dumbfounded when I looked up on where to use it lol
This song is significant to me for two reasons. 1. I heard it back in 2002 after beating a used copy of Silent Hill on the PS2. 2. After listening to this track for 10 minutes, I put in a new game called Kingdom Hearts.
It's funny to me that out of all the people that worked on this game, of all aspects of this game, Akira Yamaoka and the OST get a lion's share of praise. It makes sense. You can beat the game and keep the memories but the music keeps it all alive in your head.
yeah, i really appreciate sometyhing that loops but you never realise its looping. thats some definite amazing shit right there. i think it has someting to do with 3 or 4 themetic changes and then the drum loops having transitions into the themes and then the themes also having this overall feeling that its all one. iunno im alkmost there i can feel it.
I think Pianissimo Epilogue is better. It's hard to explain why it's the best. Maybe because it's not meant to represent any character, only you. I don't know, something about it seems right. Though I love this song.
You're right, I just have more of a connection to The Rank Screen Theme of Silent Hill 1, the finish line being crossed after a very scary tough psychological grind.
Best Horror game ever. Best game score ever. Best creative game genius ever. Nothing has the pure twisted dark atmospheric sense of dread like this game.
Oh my god... So much nostalgia with this song. I remember when I first finished this as a kid with my cousin, I actually started dancing. Out of the original 3 Silent Hills, this one is the most underrated.
Yeah :). Its so nice to hear if you got good+. My first playthrough which was around 2019 I got Bad and I felt so bad. I finally got around to replaying it last July and finally got good plus. It was so satisfying to finally see Harry and Co escape Silent Hill and listen to this beautiful track afterwards
For me this particular piece sounds like ascending the stairs after enermous work has been done. Literally, bell-like sound motif feels like the heavy steps of a tired man...
God bless you all, who had the opportunity to play this masterpiece, in my case, I only had the chance of meeting this game with their excellent OST. Really, I wish I had the time for playing this game...
Side effects may vary when listening to this ost, such as: -the urge to breakdance -the urge to sit in the edge of a building's roof at night -the urge to headbang -the urge to go for a walk at 3am
Chill and sexy. Someone could remix this and make it clearer. Although I kinda like it a little muffled and old. Silent Hill 3's rank screen always made me sad. We will miss Harry forever.
Eternal beauty.. I just moved house and found myself drawn to this place which is a lot like Silent Hill... at night I walk around in this quiet sleepy town, in the rain, listening to the extremely beautiful Silent Hill soundtrack... it is very healing.. though the only monsters to be encountered here are only to be found in one's own mind..
I only got 1 star on my first time playing this and I beat the game in 9 hrs, 42 min, 25 sec. But I guess I missed a lot items because of the rank I gotten.
This and Simpsons Hit & Run Legitimate Business will go down as the best video game music ever. Both songs play the same notes in a loop for about 10 mins and I can listen to it nonstop.
Wonder what various pieces / artists influenced this. Made in the 90s, so the composer Akira grew up in the 70s/80s , so he had that to pick from, plus experience with his training + 90s influences at the time.

Never actually played the game, but loved the storyline (watched all the plot on TH-cam xD) atmosphere and soundtrack - I remixed some of the tracks and put them together as a 30 minute mix (is on my channel) Akira Yamaoka made legendary work, his vision for this game is verrry immersive 🔥🔥🔥
Soooooo back when i was 19 still thinking i could be a rapper i actually set this beat to a faster tempo and rapped over it. Its still one of my favorites ive ever done because of this beat being so nice.
started playing this game and I find myself seeing that the game really hasn't been so scary that far, it's definitely fairly arcade-ey in it's own right. Feels more like a dungeoncrawler than anything.

Surprisingly good to freestyle to on a late night drive as well
until you hit a teenage school girl with your car
Absolutely all silent hill music and especially during lock down.. It was a unique time in life

a chill song after a painful day
Or during. Solace.
This song is significant to me for two reasons.
1. I heard it back in 2002 after beating a used copy of Silent Hill on the PS2.
2. After listening to this track for 10 minutes, I put in a new game called Kingdom Hearts.
I'm jealous. Back to back all time GOAT SS+ tier games
Wait, but if you were playing on the ps2 you couldn't save since it was a ps1 game right?
@@Ramzi1944 You can if you have a PS1 memory card in either slot. Source: Had a PS2 since around 2002 and played PS1 games on it since I was a kid.
Going from Silent Hill to Kingdom Hearts must be an experience
is from silent hill origins .... ???
The music in this game is just on another level.
It's funny to me that out of all the people that worked on this game, of all aspects of this game, Akira Yamaoka and the OST get a lion's share of praise. It makes sense. You can beat the game and keep the memories but the music keeps it all alive in your head.
i feel like silent hill is as good as it is partially because of the music. akira is a legend
@@karlo_1611persona the same way frfr
@@karlo_1611 Silent Hill would be nothing without Yamaoka's music.
How is it that this music can be so addictive, and fit these quiet solitary hours so well?

I love that picture. The fact that this video is 10 years old is nuts cause I think Downpour was in production that time.
I've been listening to this all day and I'm still not tired of it.
That's Yamaoka's magic :)
agree

Best Horror game ever. Best game score ever. Best creative game genius ever. Nothing has the pure twisted dark atmospheric sense of dread like this game.
I can't believe that I found this....been looking for a long time.
It's not on the soundtrack
You can hear a little portion of this track in "Children Kill" song, but it's too short.
Oh my god... So much nostalgia with this song. I remember when I first finished this as a kid with my cousin, I actually started dancing. Out of the original 3 Silent Hills, this one is the most underrated.
I have only beat this one, I'm close to beating 2. The first game is superior so far
The sound of relief and salvation...
My Salvation.
Finally bought the game on my ps3 a week ago. The quarantine gave me enough time to try it and I only regret that at night in bed lol
I love how this is more upbeat than the other results songs, Harry saved the day, roll credits

Triphop beat from hell. Love it
Just “Wow”
Feels like a pallet of complete music spectrum, amazing.
I swear, this series got me into listening to albums like Haircutsformen and Saint Pepsi.
I put this music on radio when I play Euro Truck Simulator 2, and also night of day, these goes well while driving in the morning!
I passed hours in ranking screen only for listen this track!
.I never get tired of playing this awesome game
The music from this game is like drugs but better.
Why choose?
For me this particular piece sounds like ascending the stairs after enermous work has been done. Literally, bell-like sound motif feels like the heavy steps of a tired man...
thus began akiras rap career
Yamaoka was cooking like CRAZY when he made the ost for SH1
an awesome chill song right after going through hell...god, i love this game

needs more silent hill 4 ranking screen thats just amazing as this if you find it, you sir are a hero
am i a bit of a sadist for using this as sleeping music? absolutely
No, you're cultured

Chill and sexy. Someone could remix this and make it clearer. Although I kinda like it a little muffled and old. Silent Hill 3's rank screen always made me sad. We will miss Harry forever.

I left the rank screen on forever and it turned into this

Akira Yamaoka also doing the music for Cyberpunk, which is why the music was so familiar

Unlocking that laser pistol was probably the coolest thing ever.
