I’m so proud of my fellow Irishmen, always warms my heart that despite us being a small country some of us sore to such unbelievable heights. Well done Andrew, beautiful music from a beautiful person
Hozier is my favorite artist, I can't even put into words how his songs make me feel. He's a great choice for this, can't wait to hear this song in the game!
@@CelestialFerrator so many dude. If you like something with a similar grim vibe as "Blood Upon the Snow", try out "NFWMB", "As it Was", "De Selby (Part 1)" and maybe also "Through Me (The Flood)". Most of his songs have a different vibe than Blood Upon the Snow - they still tend to be foresty and atmospheric, but they have a sweetness and vulnerability to them that counters this sort of viking mood. Hozier is a master of writting incredibly impacful lyrics and is known for his genius and unique finger-picking guitar melodies. My favorite songs of his are Work Song, Would that I, Unknown/nth, From Eden, Shrike, De Selby parts 1 and 2, NFWMB, In A Week, Cherry Wine, and Wasteland, Baby!.
They should make an official music video for this with gameplay and put it on the radio and TH-cam and this will be number 1 everywhere in the world in a heartbeat
This song right here inspires me to become a singer and to write my own music. This is what I’m gonna do for now on, because right after I heard this, I never felt the same. I feel chills inside me, and I hear a voice. I hear my conscience telling me to become a singer, and to become a songwriter because I could express emotions and certain events that happened throughout my life as a child when my mother left me when I was three and put All those Different emotions. Into one picture to inspire other people, then to take all those negative things that happened throughout, my life, then turned them into something positive, for the better, and so other people can relate, then to make them stronger
I cried hard . Out of respect . This is perfection . Perfect ending to the series with every thing notched perfect . It's the pefect swan song for Kratos' journey so far . Everything in this screams perfect ✨😭
@@UncreativeHandle48 nobody is sure of another game in the works as Kratos as the main character, but this is only the end of the Norse saga. There may be more for Kratos. Only way to know is wait and see
This song is relatable. To anyone struggling out there especially men, keep pushing forward that day of ease is coming. Winter doesn't last forever soon you'll feel that warmth flourish a new in you your life. Keep fighting boys wer're in this together. Blood upon the show and all.
"I´ve walked the earth and there are so few here that know, how dark the night and just how cold the wind can blow." I could hear it one billion time and the next billion I would touched to tears as intense as every time before...
Yes, it was spot on. The lyrics can be seen as thoughts inside Kratos's mind as he journeys with Atreus, as he sees him making his own mistakes as at the same time, he's reminded of his own mistakes. Things that he wouldn't be able to express, but are inside him somewhere.
Credits rolling soon after saying farewell was absolurely phenomenal, I wish desperately I can play Ragnarok again with a fresh memory. Wow, what a journey it has been from 2005 from the VERY beginning to now in 2022. Kratos has truly been redeemed
This song is absolutely incredible man!!! Bear McCreary and Hozier have created masterpiece, the way the Kratos theme is incorporated is incredible 👏👏👏👏🎶
"I've walked the earth and there are so few here that know How dark the night and just how cold the wind can blow" I think these two sentences sum up the entire journey Kratos has been on. Thanks to Hozier and Bear McCreary for having me crying like a 5 year old.
We are witnessing a legendary game that we don't see often topped with some of the best composers and singers i have ever seen in my life Simply magnificent! GOTY
I am so in love with the music from both this game and 2018. I don't usually listen to soundtracks, but to this day I listen to the one from the 2018 game any time it cycles through my playlist. Phenomenal job.
This song is not only about the journey of father and son but about kratos the man and the warrior. A man who loved calliope and lysandra, Sparta, and Deimos but chose the path of violence and hatred for his enemies and to obtain some sort of glory from the Gods that would satisfy the void in his heart he was missing, only to beg for Ares help when it was all too much for him to handle. In doing so it cost him absolutely everything. Lysandra and calliope his true north that he snuffed out in blind rage. And his vengeance destroyed his home the Greek land. I feel like constantly he is thinking of lysandra, calliope, and Deimos and that everything he is doing for Atreus and Faye is to honor them as well. Wants to be a man that they would be proud of seeing. A true warrior. (Cherish your loved ones more then anything because you don’t know what tomorrow brings. That is tragedy that created the Ghost of Sparta.)
I just want to say thank you to everyone involved in the composition of the music for GoW. I’m someone who feels intense emotion with music (any genre) and listening to the music in the game thus far has had me struggling to control said emotions. The music has powerful aspects to it and man… it’s beautiful.
Aight, when is Andrew dropping his Twitch link for his Hozier themed Elden Ring livestreams now? Seriously tho, man is an amazing musician, can't help but admit this song alone has done more for making me want to try GoW than anything else ever before.
Bear McCreary and Hozier: one of the few legendary combos in music. and bear especially as a composer comes VERY close for me to the same level as john williams.
For those wondering, the instrument Bear McCreary plays at 2:09 is called a "Hurdy Gurdy." You can hear it prominently about 1 minute and 22 seconds in to the song itself.

Blown away by how Hozier and Bear McCreary managed to make a banger song that complements the actual GOW Kratos theme.
Kratos is symbolized as a bear. Bear Mccreary has bear in his name, does that mean Kratos is Bear Mccreary?
@@thesocker7920 it's all connected
I completely fell for his music after Godzilla and believe Bear McCreary is who you call when you needs music for gods.
I'm blown away by the level of Hurdy-Gurdy that is featured in this song. I fell like people aren't talking about this enough.
Hozier's been referencing Greek and Irish legends in his songs, and I've been hoping for this day when he takes on something Norse
In your opinion, which option is more appropriate, thermal paste for the PlayStation 4 pro series 7218B console?
All Nations have similar struggles they had to go thru being Irish He can relate to many given Our History
Giving him a voice that he wouldn't be able to say...
What a beautiful way to put it
Well said
I literally got goosebumps at the end. What an epic collaboration.
Same here!!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, we are witnessing a masterpiece. These games don't come along too often, enjoy every second of this work of art!
Facts!
Straight up 💯
Just finished it today and it was a masterpiece.
True man🔥
I love the OST as much as the game itself. It's incredible.

Should listen to halo

Mellifluous is a new word for me
You don't even hear this song till after Brok's funeral in the endgame, and you have to let the credits rock without scrolling through them.
While tears run down your cheeks
Hozier was a pro choice for this game, absolutely fantastic!!
Agreed bro

Irish music in general is great, even without Hozier 👌
@@crazybastard6472 never said otherwise, just commending him since he’s the topic of this video
I second that.
I want this to be live performed during THE GAME AWARDS 2022
same! can't wait for it
...and it was awesome
It was, and was amazing
You got your wish 😊
This hits so hard when it plays at the end of the game
Facts!! 💯
Wow as someone who has followed Hozier as a music journalist in Ireland and being such a massive gaming fans this is such a cool coloboration.
Hozier is my favorite artist, I can't even put into words how his songs make me feel. He's a great choice for this, can't wait to hear this song in the game!

Thank you for this masterpiece. It is 100% that if you've put yourself into the game this music makes you feel Kratos' emotional growth and thoughts.
I love the masculine energy captured in this song. Although I don't quite have the words to describe the feelings it gives.
Yeah it's really powerful yet beautiful at the same time!
The lyrics, the chorus, the instruments, everything is truly amazing! This song is perfect!
Not only that, it also fits perfectly into the context of the game when it's played.
