No, Booker is a terribly flawed person. The story/game was a true Tragedy in every sense; exceedingly bittersweet. Seems Booker tried and tried to make up for the mistake yet the negative consequences always followed; even unto burial at sea.
Target fixation upon somepeople's part perhaps; I was thinking of the character -- and having played the game through twice recently I think it's a Tragedy of the Grecian sense. All the way through Burial at Sea.
I feel cheated...Troy Baker can sing, play guitar, has an amazing speaking voice...and amazing hair. I now understand why some women hate super models.
+Flame Dragon07 Tell that to Roger Ebert's rotting corpse. :) He declared video games are not an art form... yet I've come across a surprising amount of people who still (for whatever ridiculous reason) defend him even though they're hardcore gamers.
+Flame Dragon07 my art teacher would say they arent. It was infuriating because what he actually called art wasnt art to me ( he would show us videos of weird ass shit like a dude grabbing dogs balls)! So, I guess art is subjective
+HyruleLove When you say what your teacher called art wasn't art to you, I thought he must be some modernism or Dada weird shit fan. But grabbing dog's balls ? Your teacher's a fucking psychopath
I have briefly look for the reasons why not to call videogames art ... quite a nonsense and definitions made on purpose. When once add what piece of trash can art critics admire a put in the best known galleries ... it is even more ridiculous. Or performance art, for example? Reminds me time at school, when once upon a time sci-fi and fantasy literature was considered "low-class, no value" literature, while we were forced to read some boring and naive works of the classic literature, because they were "art". Just several levels below some great sci-fi and fantasy pieces. B:I has some flaws in the gameplay, but I enjoyed it a lot - more than some pieces of art and not without fair reason.
This is the '30s text. In the game they used the original text, in which the chorus asks if "is a better home awaiting", instead of stating that "there's a better home awaiting". The orignal one, questioning one's own actions and one's own worthiness of grace, it fits much better in the game.
8 years later coming across this. This is such a subtle thing I never noticed before. As a British Lutheran we always sing the original text of “is there” but I know my Catholic raised partner sings the new text of “there is”. Small weird differences.
the strange thing about watching this after finishing the game is that you still have that taste in your mouth that everything is so screwed up,they all suffered and didn't have a happy ending (cuz' you haven't seen that scene after the credits yet,which's also opened to interpretation.) and you see the guys who made the game happy (not taking credits away from the rest of the crew).singing so happy and everything.you feel joy but still can't let go of that ''bad'' taste. it's just weird xD btw,this is the best game I've ever played in my whole life,and its got the best story I've ever seen/read too.and I am 22 years old,i've played and read a lot of stuff so far
I remember when I used to go to church as a kid this song was sung during worship and was just as upbeat as this, so I assume it's meant to be sung like this, but for the game the somber soft tone that elizabeth puts out really fits the game better. But yeah, I agree with you, hearing it like this is really nice, especially since Booker starts singing as well
Well, this is just two actors singing a song here. In the game, its a moment that booker and elizabeth share amongst the chaos of everything and inspite of everything going on around them. It was a beautiful moment in the game. And i love that you can miss it entirely if you just rush through the game without exploring.
Her voice acting was phenomenal for this game. We all know Troy Baker is amazing, but she was really impressive. I look forward to hearing her in more. As I watch video game videos on youtube I come across your name a lot. Thanks for posting so many awesome videos!
I come back to this every now and then, seeing them sing together is so cosy. And this is the first time I've noticed Ken's directions for a slower tempo, for Booker to pluck the strings gently. That right there is when he figured out what he wants in the final scene because we got exactly that. And it was beautiful.
The music is beautiful, but what I love most is that they played and sang this just on the spot. No post-production polish, just two people singing. Great stuff.
Same here. It just shows the awesome chemistry these two have with each other. In the behind the scenes video where Troy berates Courtnee is pretty intense but totally sells the scene.
What ever people may think of the aclaimed Troy Baker and Courtnee Draper, let us take a moment to consider that the man that made this flawed masterpiece happen. To Ken Levine!!! I know i'm a measly person, but i am sure this does not happen often enough, so please everyone that happens upon this comment, take a moment and thank what ever you believe in for giving us Mr. Levine. I know i will. *silent prayer, and hope that this man makes another masterpiece before we lose him*
LEV3RINE (SPOILER ALERT) She does live a normal life. That's what Booker dies for in the end. That's why the Verisions of her that lived in the Tower dissapears. Because she was never brought there since he died before bringing her there in the first place.
***** Can't believe you haven't played further than Episode 3!!! The ending of Last Of Us hasn't got anything on the end of The Walking Dead! One of the best stories with real character development and reactions to your choices. :D Bioshock Infinite's ending is definitely better than both games... but The Walking Dead has to be one of the best zombie apocalypse stories in a game I have ever played!
4:30 - "Do you think we should slow down a little bit since it's the last verse?" "Mhmm-mhmm" - love that Ken Levine is dumbstruck on where to go from there, or what to actually do :)
Ken Levine speaks to Troy and Courtnee as their character's in game names, and corrects Troy because it wouldn't make sense that Booker as a character, knowing his story, would be a phenomenal singer. This speaks volumes to how good a director Ken is
I have played bioshock 5 years ago, didnt watch all the ending credit found this scene on youtube 1 year after finished the game, thinking its somekind of backstage footage now when in quarantine, I play this game again, this time, I go to every corner of the map, watched the credit, and when this video show up in the credit, all my emotions exploded
Apparently getting knocked out by Panzers, flung across a field by a 500 LB bomb, and having a building fall on you makes you awesome (Brother In Arms joke)
This song is freaking amazing. They got a church hymn to work for a game about shooting killing and general craziness. It works so well with the general story and this game is one of few that truly changed my life. So sad the writer left SPOILER: With the theme of multiple worlds where booker comes every time to Columbia and always gets heads. And at the end how you actually do end up breaking the circle.
This game and last of us were the last two games I really committed to and finished. In a way these two games were how I closed my gaming chapter in my life and it was such a beautiful set of stories to end gaming. Thanks for being awesome Troy Baker!!
Between the music, art direction, and the story, Infinite is the most artful thing I have seen in a long time. Also, the controls are so tight and the combat is so fun because of the sky lines, vigors, and creative enemies like the handymen, motorized patriots, firemen, etc. that the interactive part also qualifies it as art in my book.
Keep in mind that Troy was also doing work for Joel in Last of Us parallel to Booker for Infinite, so I have a feeling Ken referring to him as 'Booker' was his way of keeping Troy in his Booker mind, and not his Joel mind.
There are loved ones In the glory Whose dear forms I often miss When I choose my Earthly story Can I join them in their bliss? I can remember Songs of solace Which came from A storied mix Of friends who Won't be silenced When they sing of their abyss When the tide comes Roaring through In its wake Hope remains But can the Crossroad turning Still leave this hiss? When the sun shines Too oft they shout And find true love Directed towards their Struggling neighbor Whom they doubt With a thunderous shove When will we ever Feel the above?
For anyone that wants to know the first line she is trying to figure out is "When back home Lord, home was lonesome. Yes my mama, she was gone. All my brothers sisters crying. What a home, so sad and lone." I wish they figured this out when they were recording so we could have a full made song. But from start to finish is great before she just says that's it at the end.
De tempos em tempos venho aqui ouvir essa obra de arte. Esse jogo é aquele de história que você gostaria muito de entrar e respirar os ares daquele universo. Meu coração de fã diz que em algum universo eles encontram uma saída feliz e viveram como pai e filha a partir dali.
I'm pretty sure he said Booker on purpose as he was directing the character because they were trying to work out the scene in which they decide to do an impromptu duet.
Booker Dewitt! Bring us the girl and perform a duet
This comment needs more love.
That I am happy to do
This is the best comment
Booker duet
This made me burst out laughing
They got some striking voices.

Does anyone else like this version more then the one in the game? It still caries the message, but its so much more upbeat. imo at least

Me too dude. *Electro-Bolt high fives*

Her voice acting was phenomenal for this game. We all know Troy Baker is amazing, but she was really impressive. I look forward to hearing her in more.
As I watch video game videos on youtube I come across your name a lot. Thanks for posting so many awesome videos!
But she kinda said she was going to quit acting to focus on her law studies :
Daniel Angeles True, but after hearing about the acclaim that Infinite got she changed her mind. She's still gonna get a law degree though.
After 10 years i still love this ❤
I come back to this every now and then, seeing them sing together is so cosy.
And this is the first time I've noticed Ken's directions for a slower tempo, for Booker to pluck the strings gently. That right there is when he figured out what he wants in the final scene because we got exactly that. And it was beautiful.
I love how Ken calls Troy "Booker".
It's been 10 years😢

The smile Courtnee gave to Troy at 2:22 kills me.

angelblood98 clearly you didn’t play burial at sea.. she’s dead
These 2 are so talented!
I absolutely love bioshock infinite due to the fact of these 2 and of course the game in general
An amazing game that had me from the moment I entered the floating city.
hallelujah
Incredible Song. Incredible Game. Incredible Actors. Just Incredible!
The feels. This and The Last of Us had the best stories in any game I've played, Uncharted 2 also.
***** I heard it was good but haven't played it yet, is it really better as far as characters and an emotional story?
TheBushwooky Yup, Walking Dead got the game of the year for a reason. It was extremely emotive, cried many a tears!
***** Can't believe you haven't played further than Episode 3!!! The ending of Last Of Us hasn't got anything on the end of The Walking Dead! One of the best stories with real character development and reactions to your choices. :D
Bioshock Infinite's ending is definitely better than both games... but The Walking Dead has to be one of the best zombie apocalypse stories in a game I have ever played!
The best games in my opinion are The Last of Us, Bioshock infinite, and Walking Dead seasons 1&2. Really enjoyed all of them. Best games ive played
Alyssa Gomez I really loved Infinite's story.
In awe of this mans talent. Kanji, Delsin, Snow, Joel, Booker, Joker... List goes on... Ridiculous
N91 Dont forger pagan min
Ken is such a fanboy
+vivanesca how can he not be? These are two very talented people making beautiful art IMO
As soon as I heard this for the first time... The songs ending made sense to me. I fuckin cried for hours afterwards. I love this game.
Same.
Six years later and this game still breaks my heart
I love Elizabeth voice 👍 pretty cool
This still is a great behind the scenes moment years later!
Хорошо сказано американский товарищ, хорошо сказано
This song still gives me goosebumps 7 years later. Infinite is still one of my fav games of all time and the soundtrack hits so hard!
4:30 - "Do you think we should slow down a little bit since it's the last verse?" "Mhmm-mhmm" - love that Ken Levine is dumbstruck on where to go from there, or what to actually do :)
Found this again after eight freaking years and this still brings a tear to my eye. Absolutely beautiful!
Still one of the best game for me
I come back to this video every so often. By far one of my favorite renditions of this song.
It seems unfair that Troy Baker is this talented.
Still come back to this so many years later
I think that I've played infinite nearly 10 times..and every fucking time it makes me cry as a child..this game is pure art
I can't get over the honesty of this video. This is the kind of thing you stop and watch no matter where you are.
Ken Levine speaks to Troy and Courtnee as their character's in game names, and corrects Troy because it wouldn't make sense that Booker as a character, knowing his story, would be a phenomenal singer. This speaks volumes to how good a director Ken is
It's been 6 years already, wow... Time passes quickly. But songs/performances like this stay timeless.

...Troy Baker can sing? OMG. The man is perfect. This song is beautiful.
All voice actors can sing cause they have such amazing control of their voice, it's awesome :>
He's part of Akira Yamaoka's band (Silent Hill) sings some of the songs from that too.
missystar013 He released an album about 5 months ago called Sitting In The Fire, it's amazing.

Troy Baker can also play guitar? What the fuck, It's like he cheated and put skill points into EVERYTHING, And achieved the Mr.Perfect achievment.
He skips leg day tho
When I saw 5+ minutes, I was like man this is too long .. but I ended up being entranced the whole time. Amazing!
Oh look, cloud and aerith
whot?
;-; too soon.
it will always be too soon.
that is so spot on Forever in the Lifestream
"in the joyous, days of childhood, oft they told of wondrous love, pointed to the dying Savior, now they dwell with Him above. "
WOW they can really SING!
Elizabeth’s voice is so expressive!! These two people and the others on this project created a legendary work of art!!
When those harmonies kick in man. mmmm
I cried when i saw you at the end of the game. I love this song and this game so much. And you both too. :-)
This song is freaking amazing. They got a church hymn to work for a game about shooting killing and general craziness. It works so well with the general story and this game is one of few that truly changed my life. So sad the writer left

With the theme of multiple worlds where booker comes every time to Columbia and always gets heads. And at the end how you actually do end up breaking the circle.

I love this faster tempoed version more than the one used in the game.
Between the music, art direction, and the story, Infinite is the most artful thing I have seen in a long time. Also, the controls are so tight and the combat is so fun because of the sky lines, vigors, and creative enemies like the handymen, motorized patriots, firemen, etc. that the interactive part also qualifies it as art in my book.
this is beautiful. When I heard it in the game I had to listen to it many times after that.
This scene was beautiful. It makes you both smile and cry at the same time. I was really enjoying the game, but once I saw this, I fell fully in love.
He's in key. Not in her pitch, but in key regardless. When two people sing in different pitches/tones together it's called harmony.
Dude, I want a recording of this, this is such a beautiful rendition of this song
Right? Me too
Love games like these
It's always fun to see actors and producers having fun with their work. :)
Is there anything Troy Baker can't do?
to this day its unknown
he's terrible at anal
He has an album if you didn't know.

i love troy's voice so much 😍
This song is so beautiful, I could listen it over and over and still have tears in my eyes :-)
love her voice
this is 10 yrs old?! Jesus i love bioshock
4:54: It's interesting that he calls him "Booker" and not "Troy". Keeping character, I suppose.
Keep in mind that Troy was also doing work for Joel in Last of Us parallel to Booker for Infinite, so I have a feeling Ken referring to him as 'Booker' was his way of keeping Troy in his Booker mind, and not his Joel mind.
There are loved ones
In the glory
Whose dear forms
I often miss
When I choose my
Earthly story
Can I join them in their bliss?
I can remember
Songs of solace
Which came from
A storied mix
Of friends who
Won't be silenced
When they sing of their abyss
When the tide comes
Roaring through
In its wake
Hope remains
But can the
Crossroad turning
Still leave this hiss?
When the sun shines
Too oft they shout
And find true love
Directed towards their
Struggling neighbor
Whom they doubt
With a thunderous shove
When will we ever
Feel the above?
For anyone that wants to know the first line she is trying to figure out is "When back home Lord, home was lonesome. Yes my mama, she was gone. All my brothers sisters crying. What a home, so sad and lone." I wish they figured this out when they were recording so we could have a full made song. But from start to finish is great before she just says that's it at the end.
it would've been nice to have the slow down though
+Stephen Hendrickson You're right. I wish they'd release a perfect version of the song. or someone would make one.
