We demand a remake- er, I mean we respectfully request a remaster of this beautiful song that, by my memory, was one of if not the first song you put up on TH-cam. You've come a long way, and with Alyx out and you going a decade strong, it would be a rather interesting proposition, no?
Wow. I remember hearing this playing from a radio on some gmod TTT map so long ago, and now, years later, i find out it was actually made by my favorite musician! Damn this feels crazy.
Alcatraz Crysis You lifeless moron. Age has nothing to do with taste and maturity. So what if he is 11? I was that old when I first played Half Life 2 almost 8 years ago, and it instantly became my favorite game.
@@lennrd5912 it literally is a game, and probably the first actual VR title I'd call a proper game made at this time, and not just a tech demo or 'experience'. When I played it the VR didn't feel like a crutch or gimmick driving the game, but rather just the means in which you can better connect with a game that could have existed without VR, but is enhanced by the platform it's on. And as for price, I know it still might not be worth it for some people but you can find a WMR setup on eBay for like $300 you don't have to have the Index to enjoy the game.
I remember listening to this and a few of your other songs (Mass Effect, Dishonored, etc) while playing Halo when I was in highschool. This takes me back.
@@sheepism470 I wouldn't call Alyx a Half Life 3 game. If we did count that as half life 3 then "Half Life: Blue Shift" and "Half Life: Opposing Forces" would also count as their own Half Life number sequel
Earlier today, I was helping my grandparents get their house ready to be sold. They had me use a crowbar to break down shelves, drawers, all kinds of things. At no point did I stop singing this song in my head.
You know, this song is kind of funny in a meta sense. In a certain way, Gordon Freeman DID save Gav's life (at the very least, his musical career), starting him on a path that would gain him a metric ton more fans than he ever had with Lotus Lullaby. Kind of prophetic, in a way.
GabeN would be proud. I feel so bad for that franchise, so much untapped potential. We all owe it to Gordon to give him a happy ending. If anyone in the video game multiverse deserves one, it's him.
@necrosmash YOutube closed Mandalore's account due to something to do with copyright stuff. It was nothing to do with me. By the way I made the original - this is the original.
Commander Shepard is, and will stay my ultimate favourite. But I like that the songs he makes are very diverse. :) I'd suggest you listen to Digital Shadow (miracleofsound 's take on Watch Dogs) for size... There are a lot of common points with these two : a persistent beat, a catchy chorus, and the same sense of epic !
Honestly shocked he didn't do a remix of the song for the 20th anniversary, maybe with extra verse for Alyx and the possibilty of HL3 on the horizon. Ooo maybe that part could be female vocals.
Oh, everyone loves the people at Mesa. If it wasn't for _us_, Freeman wouldn't have his HEV suit and Gravity Gun. In fact, all he'd have is that Stoopid little crowbar of his. So who's REALLY to thank? Aperture. =_=
imagine if valve finally makes half life 3 or half life 2 episode 3. And during the game you can find a area where you can find a band of rebels singing this
I first heard this like over a decade ago playing in the background of a vid where someone customized a rusty crowbar to look like gordons. Good to hear again after so long
Not long ago I remembered this song, well, as I remembered ... I sang more precisely, and when I found it, I looked at the date of the video and this September 8, 2010 will already be 11 years of this song this year. For the first time this song appeared in my recommendations in 2013-14 or 15. It's been a long time and it's gone so fast
The time is 3:40. The two digits besides 0 are 3 and 4. 3 for the third game. 4 for four different games. Half Life 3 Confirmed Left 4 Dead 3 Confirmed Team Fortress 3 confirmed Portal 3 confirmed ""PFFFFTT"" M1nD Bl0wn
13 years later and Gordon Freeman is saving our games.

Alcatraz Crysis Except Far Cry has had three sequels, whereas the Half-Life series has had one. I am counting the episodes one and two and HL2 as one.

The best original song Ive heard in some time. Love it. You have a lot of potential, so I'm subscribing. hope to what you do next.
he did a lot next
This song, and commander shepard are both so great...
Too bad I don't seem to find others quite at that level, even if there are a lot of good ones.

the music i've been looking for for years i finished half life 2 again last week and i'm so sad right now ): please make new song
Only true chads know of this, been headbangin' to this even when I did not know english.
this song is my religion
"I watch as the Combine are turnin' to flee yeah!
They vanish into thin air like Episode 3 yeah!"

I listened to this with my sister 8 years ago what a nostalgic trip
I think this song will help pass the time untill the sun burns out and they release episode 3. Great job.
12 years later and all we got was a VR exclusive.... this is like the video game equivlent of generational trauma.
yikes
I don't know why but every time I hear this a small part of me thinks "Gordon Freeman Fucked My Wiiiife"
Am I in heaven?
You saved my LIFE!!! Thank you sooooooo much!

The next time I play a Half-Life game i'm playing this in the background.
This is so sad goddamnit
Ten years today, happy birthday miracle of sound
I really do feel like a lot of Gav's older works are worthy of a modern touch-up, though they hold up well!
