8:05 I remember one year my great nanny came down to visit us during easter and I was playing Minecraft on my moms computer. I had to have been 8 or 9 as it was a pretty early version of minecraft, the end must have been just added. However at that time, I remember I was in the Overworld building a house and Sweden started to play. My great grandma was a pianist. She could play any song she heard. We visited her house every couple of months yearly. So having her down at our house for a holiday was special. I remember when Sweden started to play, she walked by and said "wow, who is playing the piano, it's absolutely beautiful." I remember smiling and saying "It's my game." She responded "I love that, keep playing your game." ...I never will forget that moment.... I never finished that world... and then she passed away a couple years later... After this, I remember returning to Minecraft on my ps3, creating a new world. I was determined to beat the game for the first time alone without the help of my older brother. After hours of playing, I beat the dragon... but before I left through the portal to the credits... I waited for Sweden to play in the end track at 8:05 one last time. I remember sitting there silently... Eyes full of tears... Thinking about all of my memories made with her during visits... and as the music faded off into the silence of the void, I cried.... I thought "I did it Nanny..." I love you great Nanny. Thank you for everything. All of the memories... I'll never forget them. It's funny how a song from a game about blocks can be so emotionally powerful. How these songs can connect us to moments in life. To people. One of my favorite memories where when me and my brother used to play irl Minecraft in her front yard. It had a big hill we used to climb up and pretend to build houses on. I'm nearly 20 this year. Man time flies... Now in college, I look back at when I was in 3rd grade and experienced these moments for the first time. Feels like another whole life time ago. But strangely as if it was yesterday also. If your still young, cherish the people and things you have around you. Cherish everything. It all goes so quick.
I don’t hear Sweden at 8:05. I might be dumb. It might also be that what I believe is Sweden is the first half that I’ve played on the piano for 5 years (I’m a noob though) But thanks for sharing!
Ever realize how creepy the end is? Instead of a giant world like the over world or nether, it’s just one. A single, floating island with no coordinates, no time and no texture, one block type. It’s almost as if this is some kind of forgotten memory, a decaying land on the brink of corruption. A world that’s lost it’s shape, form, and color. The only remaining enemy is the forgotten souls of the mobs as enderman, and a dragon with a soul purpose of flying about the island, with no hope or any motives. A brainless, empty void of a previous world, fading, corrupted, decaying.
It feels like Xen from Half-Life. Every mob even the dragon may be from other dimensions. The reason there's mobs from other dimensions like endermen in the overworld is like the resonance cascade.
That's because the end represents what minecraft truly is without the veil of gameplay. The nether and the overworld keeps it hidden by bedrock layers and a giant sky but the void is equally present in both those worlds as it is in the end. Oh sure, there are a few more blocks in those worlds, a few more mobs, a few more things you can do but after all of that has been done what's left ? You and the endless void.
@@crypticpoke6805 maybe it's the ground that it has. If you have ground in the void you stop falling. Nobody knows what happens if you stop falling in the void. Do you keep dying?
That’s because it is. It’s the soundtrack to YOUR story. This is the credit song for YOU. This is the END of YOUR story. This song is a recap of all the things you did, all that you’ve accomplished. It’s to remind you of your first day, the overworld, the nether, everything you’ve done up to this point. It’s all YOUR story. And this is the end of the final chapter.
This soundtrack sounds like at first you were dreaming about your past adventures, and suddenly, something makes you stop dreaming, and you "wake up" on this strange stone floating in space
I have no clue why, but the sound error noise gives me chills... Like it basically sends you a false feeling of home, then it begins losing power, effectively causing the error sound. Then the rest is a "you're not home anymore child" aspect.
Is basically "You are in the end, look everything you have done so far to reach this point" and inmerse back in your memories, until suddenly those memories begins to glitch out and fade saying "wake up....", realizing you need to go on.
There are theories that the nether is below the overworld because if you dig up in the Nether you hit bedrock, but I wonder if the End is way far below that.
@@ren858 There is actually a way to get to the roof in the Nether. But I guess if you we're looking at this in a story mode perspective you wouldn't be entirely discredited.
This feels like what *really* happens when you fall in the void, going through every single memorable soundtrack to remember everything you've accomplished, be gone in a single second. Then finally restarting and having to do everything again.
I pushed my friend off the edge by accident when telling a joke and after he died we both just stared at the screen in silence and the look on my face was like “ooohhhhhhhhh ssssshhhhhhhhit”
I played Minecraft since 2012, but I never killed the dragon until like a year ago, when me and my friends started a realm. It was like 3am and I was building a bridge between the islands, carrying a lot of loot, with this music that I never heard before, and I was completely terrified. I can't remember the last time a videogame make me feel such a strong feeling. And that's why I love Minecraft. Because after all these years playing it, it still has a lot to discover. It's different each time.
Man, I played minecraft since 2013 in Xbox360 edition (nostalgia moment), when the ender dragon was an op mob. And I beat it after 7 years, 9 java versions, almost 30 legacy and bedrock edition updates and 4 consoles (xbox360, ps4, wii-u, nintendo switch)
The gradual switching from other Minecraft melodies to just nothingness, makes it feel like the end cant really figure out what it is, switching between existing songs, trying to find an answer.
This makes the end feel more like a gap in time or a tear in between dimensions. It doesn't want you there so it keeps trying to bring you back with that familiar music but fails due to your constant determination to discover something. It reminds me of a certain game that I can't mention cause it would spoil the ending of it.
Alright, for you @@sonetagu1337. The game is Outer Wilds. It seems very stupid of me to be this wary of spoiling stuff but the game is heavily reliant on learning stuff so just be wary before you look anything up about it.
8:05 I think it's that moment when you realize that Minecraft not just a game for kids, but something more deeper and mysterious than we even think. Minecraft is truly masterpiece of 21'st century. Let's not forget it...
This song reminds me of when i would play minecraft with my friends, reminds me of my old house, other memories ect, also just makes me a little cold wheres my blanket
8:06 - 9:48 is easily the most intense part of this song and possibly the soundtrack as a whole. Throughout the song, you can hear distant melodies, songs that you recognize from your journey vaguely fading in and out. This moment right here however has been the most in your face about this. The piano cords are no longer faded out but very clearly in the foreground at the center of attention. A sort of moment of solace allowing you to reflect upon your journey. But then, this motif finishes and you're back to the noise, only growing louder and louder, the faded music returning until finally, a single low bass note cuts through all of it, allowing even the noise to begin fading away. Such a wonderful work of art this music is.
I never really cared about the soundtrack that was being used until one day I was playing Minecraft in the End, when this part came on I loved it ever since.
One time this came on when I was looking for End cities with friends, and then at the climax I found an end city! I got it on video to! It was epic! It's at that moment that you know your making memories!
This is by far my favourite piece of music from minecraft. It uses the nostalgic peaceful songs you were used to and contorted them into a distorted and yet epic mess.
After the glitchy bit its beautiful hearing the main theme but something's not quite right it sounds epic. Then I calms down and your hear it again distorted and slowed down.
The overworld song slowly being glitched is actually really darn genius because is essentially of what is meant to remind you of. Is the end. So it plays a corrupted version of the overworld being slowly transformed into a glitchy yet really spooky state. To the point it becomes its own song.
Maybe your music volume is low compared to your regular sound effects volume. I always have mine around 20% higher than the sound effects so I can hear the music.
Dictator i cant have music on and here is why first my family went to this week long thing where we made amazing friends and all of us kids were playing minecraft on the xbox 360 and we later learned that we would never see those people because my dad switched jobs we moved into a new house where we didnt know anyone but i had one kid around my age decide to welcome me and we were almost on a free walk in and out of eachother’s house basis. 3 years we would play minecraft every day and just have fun... last year he moved states away and i do not have an xbox (we would both play on the same console with two controllers) so when i played minecraft next i had to turn the music off so i didnt cry my eyes out its painful to hear the music of times that have gone by and can never be re lived through. “we didn’t realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun” -winnie the pooh
This probably sounds dumb, but I'm 17, and I've played minecraft for years. And today, I beat the ender dragon on straight survival for the first time (without cheats/creative, or anything of that nature). When the ender dragon was at low health, the part at 8:08 set in, and for some reason it felt really emotional. Before I finished off the ender dragon I closed my eyes and every single minecraft related memory that I have just suddenly flashed into my mind, from when I first got the game on the Xbox 360, to now. almost like an extreme wave of nostalgia. I know it took me a stupidly long amount of time to actually beat the game, but something about the end music is just so emotional/powerful while hearing it ingame
I'm the same, I've only beat the game once, about 2 years ago. For the first time, and never managed since. Purely on survival with no cheats. It took me a long time too seen as I started playing as a small kid
I certainly have a similar experience. I started playing Minecraft when I was 9 years old and finished it for the first time when I was 12 years old. Fun fact: the second time I beat the game I did it without mining, in full Zico tops style. Then without dying, on hard difficulty. Then in Minecraft Java edition.
I played minecraft for the first time when I was 6 back in 2013 on my brothers Xbox 360. I’ve never killed the ender dragon on a solely survival world, but every time I enter the end on creative I always wait for the bit at 8:06 to start. Its got a surprisingly emotionally intense aspect to it for some reason and Ive never worked out why
no imagine it this way there is many different worlds and a corruption has taken over all of them and the end nether and overworld are the only ones left and the end is soon to be completely swallowed by the corruption and the nether is being destroyed by the corruption and the overworld is soon to be affected
Well the end does look like some kind of ruins that are now inhabited by some entities and in the song you can still hear some faint sounds of the overworld music but it's mostly overcome by the sounds of this creepy music
I have a theory... (Its gonna be really long) I think, The End doesnt physically exist. Here the explanation: How does Endermen teleport? I think, they used the End as a teleportation gateway, since the End doesnt physically exist, therefore theres no distance. Like (A -> End -> B) Or they can just stay in the End, and can get out whenever they want. (A -> End) "But if it doesnt exist, how did we got there in the first place? I mean we literally fought the Ender Dragon..." Endermen teleports from A to B with a portal. Create one at A, and create another portal at B. All happened in milliseconds. The "End Portal" that we can unlock with 12 Ender Eyes, is actually a *makeshift* version of the Endermen teleportation. But there is one flaw- There will be no exit. Like a train without destination. You are stuck on a train, moving forever, until you unlocked the other portal, which is the one that will unlock when you killed the Ender Dragon. You have to be stuck between "Point A" and "Point B" to be in the End. Imagine being stuck between the doorframe, between the two doors. Thats the End. But hey its just a theory
Theories aside, I find it very ingenious and disturbing that through the end's music, you can hear and recognize various songs from the normla overworld that have been distorted and swept under the ever present noise of vastness from the end.
8:07 I love how this is the clearest, least distorted part in the whole song. It gives such a contrast to the other parts where there's music playing over other music, playing out of tune, and repeating like a broken record. It gives a sense of awakening and clarity. To me, it's saying "Wake up. Your journey isn't over. You're here for a reason."
4:40 if you listen closely with headphones you can hear dry hands. 3:05 cat is heard 3:50 haggstorm is barely "hearable" 5:14 wet hands so is its brother 6:05 subwoofer lullaby
Oh shit everything that's built up to this moment is flashing by you in the endgame song! Even if you don't notice it makes you subconsciously reflect on your personal journey.
One of the biggest mistakes I made in my 8 years of playing Minecraft was playing 7 of them with the music off... I really wish I hadn’t now. When I hear the music, it brings up all the memories I could have made if I had left the music on. Moments gone, forgotten. Forever.
@@remix2593 I remember it being "a thing" people did back then. TH-camrs at some point started doing it, and so general players did it too, and you got kinda shunned if you even had them on. It's a bit tragic, but it also kind of makes it so you only really associate the Minecraft music with the game's early days, and your early days with it. Simpler times, far before the game's "fall". So in a way it's a bit of a blessing in disguise.
For a world defined by infinity, a place named The End sure does seem... strange. A world with infinite choices and possibilities and land to explore and yet The End is very tight and claustrophobic. You only have a tiny island with no escape to roam. Two different kinds of blocks, a single type of mob and a single boss. The only way out is with someone dying. You, or the dragon. Not a lot of possibilities or options. Everything about it is so uncomfortably barren. To me, that's what The End represents. The end of infinity. Humans always want more. They want infinity but aren't satisfied by that. They want an End to that Infinity too. I don't think it's a coincidence that The End and the end were both introduced on Minecraft's full release. Because in a way, Minecraft was that Infinity. And when you kill the Dragon, you're killing that Infinity too. You brought The End to Infinity.
That's why I wish they never added the outer end islands. I think the biggest impact of the End is how underwhelming it is. In trying to give yourself an end point, you made the game finite. Now it's just you, and this endless void. Congratulations, you've gone as far as you can, nothing's past here. Was it everything you wanted?
bro the fact that C418 added the normal minecraft music to the end but slightly distorted made it sound even more like a forgotten or corrupted world..
My theory is that the end is an alternate overworld, but overtime became distorted and glitched. The dragon was a being they summoned to help them. But it betrayed them and became their dictator.
“-Whenever is needed, the abyss is there for you. So is the light. That’s the power of neutrality. The power of your own decisions.” - Some random dude on the internet
It makes me think of when you know the end is near but you fight till the end and keep fighting until you have been worn out but your destiny continues
The End is my favorite dimension. The way it feels like, with the OST, the islands, the pillars, the cities, the Ender Dragon, the Endermen, the Shulkers, the Endermites, the elytra, the floating boat, the dragon egg and more is so incredible, you can find yourself nostalgic of what you've done, you can feel every emotions on Earth, and you can feel Empty due to this place atmosphere. The End and Minecraft in general is trully a masterpiece, I played it since 2014-2015, and i've never been disappointed. I love this game.
I have an interesting theory about the dimensions. I belive the end and nether portals are a form of time travel. Let's start with the nether. The nether is a very distant past of the overworld we know today. It was inhabited by a primitive, ancient species that built the nether fortresses.I belive the nether and overworld are connected because pigmen can spawn in the overworld via a pig getting struck by lightning. The overworld is what was evolved from the nether. Over a course of millions of years life would bounce back and the world would be beautiful. Civilizations would spring up left and right filled with life and prosperity. Moving on to the end, the end is a very far future where the universe is on its last legs as reality crumbles before us. You have probably noticed that endermen exist in all 3 dimensions and I belive this is because they have been around since the begining. They have been watching reality take place, hiding in the shadows, becoming aggressive only when noticed. The strongholds were built in an attempt to figure out where the endermen were coming from, but while doing this they discovered the end. After realizing what they just saw they frantically attempted to prevent this terrible future from inevitably happening, but they had failed. It was the beginning of the end. Slowly over thousands of years reality would fall apart and life in the overworld would perrish. The only things left at the end were the ones there since the beginning. The endermen.
Earth would crumble, as all reality, and the End is actually part of the earth, lost in space. The Ender Dragon is from the farthest realms of space, and it took over the End. That's why the achievement is called: 'Free the End'.
one possibility is that the end is the realm where worlds are unsuccessfully deleted, leaving the old players and the remaining scraps of the world distorted and corrupted. why do you think there are strangely built cities in the end? why do you think the endermen speak english? why do you think they cant stand looking at you? you, a player, still having their world to enjoy, while they are stuck in the "end." how or why such a creepy place would exist is beyond me, but i guess we found a way to enter it.
This is a good theory But I think it's a different universe that the sun turn into a dwarf and the solar system was broken but a part of the earth was flung to space and now this theory
In accordance to lore, you are to not take the existence of something by its addition to the game but by its presence in the game. Therefore from a lore stand point, the end cities were always there, and thus can be used to theorize on the End. By going on your logic, then one can't theorize on the Overworld since most of the mobs weren't around.
8:00 This music is so majestic. I personally think that it mirrors the middle stages of a life. So sad, so broken, so twisted. Yet... in the jumble of sadness, and unknown outcomes. *_There is hope_*
in my opinion this is the best Minecraft song of all time - it's honestly a masterpiece. The sheer range of emotions this piece brings out of me is incredible. It makes me extremely nostalgic, scared, happy, uncomfortable, blissful and even anxious. It evokes exactly what was intended and for me is the main reason the end was so well done and special.
@@rosey4568 imagine you were actually in minecraft, and you fell into the void. but you didn't die you just kept falling and all you could hear was this terrifying soundtrack.
i just realized.. at 14:28 The song stops. at 14:34 The song plays but this time its a looping version of sweden at 14:42 A cassette gets popped out of a cassette player and its put back in at 14:50 The song repeats.. that means in my theory the song never ends which means the fight between the ender dragon also never ends, minecraft is just a repeating battle against Reality.
I see the player you mean. [Player Name]? Yes. Take care. It has reached a higher level now. It can read our thoughts. That doesn't matter. It thinks we are part of the game. I like this player. It played well. It did not give up. It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a screen. That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a game. Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the reality behind the screen. They used to hear voices. Before players could read. Back in the days when those who did not play called the players witches, and warlocks. And players dreamed they flew through the air, on sticks powered by demons. What did this player dream? This player dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created. And it dreamed it destroyed. It dreamed it hunted, and was hunted. It dreamed of shelter. Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. But what true structure did this player create, in the reality behind the screen? It worked, with a million others, to sculpt a true world in a fold of the [scrambled], and created a [scrambled] for [scrambled], in the[scrambled]. It cannot read that thought. No. It has not yet achieved the highest level. That, it must achieve in the long dream of life, not the short dream of a game. Does it know that we love it? That the universe is kind? Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes. But there are times it is sad, in the long dream. It creates worlds that have no summer, and it shivers under a black sun, and it takes its sad creation for reality. To cure it of sorrow would destroy it. The sorrow is part of its own private task. We cannot interfere. Sometimes when they are deep in dreams, I want to tell them, they are building true worlds in reality. Sometimes I want to tell them of their importance to the universe. Sometimes, when they have not made a true connection in a while, I want to help them to speak the word they fear. It reads our thoughts. Sometimes I do not care. Sometimes I wish to tell them, this world you take for truth is merely [scrambled] and [scrambled], I wish to tell them that they are [scrambled] in the [scrambled]. They see so little of reality, in their long dream. And yet they play the game. But it would be so easy to tell them... Too strong for this dream. To tell them how to live is to prevent them living. I will not tell the player how to live. The player is growing restless. I will tell the player a story. But not the truth. No. A story that contains the truth safely, in a cage of words. Not the naked truth that can burn over any distance. Give it a body, again. Yes. Player... Use its name. [Player Name]. Player of games. Good. Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your lungs. Let your limbs return. Yes, move your fingers. Have a body again, under gravity, in air. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the universe again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things. Who are we? Once we were called the spirit of the mountain. Father sun, mother moon. Ancestral spirits, animal spirits. Jinn. Ghosts. The green man. Then gods, demons. Angels. Poltergeists. Aliens, extraterrestrials. Leptons, quarks. The words change. We do not change. We are the universe. We are everything you think isn't you. You are looking at us now, through your skin and your eyes. And why does the universe touch your skin, and throw light on you? To see you, player. To know you. And to be known. I shall tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a player. The player was you, [Player Name]. Sometimes it thought itself human, on the thin crust of a spinning globe of molten rock. The ball of molten rock circled a ball of blazing gas that was three hundred and thirty thousand times more massive than it. They were so far apart that light took eight minutes to cross the gap. The light was information from a star, and it could burn your skin from a hundred and fifty million kilometres away. Sometimes the player dreamed it was a miner, on the surface of a world that was flat, and infinite. The sun was a square of white. The days were short; there was much to do; and death was a temporary inconvenience. Sometimes the player dreamed it was lost in a story. Sometimes the player dreamed it was other things, in other places. Sometimes these dreams were disturbing. Sometimes very beautiful indeed. Sometimes the player woke from one dream into another, then woke from that into a third. Sometimes the player dreamed it watched words on a screen. Let's go back. The atoms of the player were scattered in the grass, in the rivers, in the air, in the ground. A woman gathered the atoms; she drank and ate and inhaled; and the woman assembled the player, in her body. And the player awoke, from the warm, dark world of its mother's body, into the long dream. And the player was a new story, never told before, written in letters of DNA. And the player was a new program, never run before, generated by a sourcecode a billion years old. And the player was a new human, never alive before, made from nothing but milk and love. You are the player. The story. The program. The human. Made from nothing but milk and love. Let's go further back. The seven billion billion billion atoms of the player's body were created, long before this game, in the heart of a star. So the player, too, is information from a star. And the player moves through a story, which is a forest of information planted by a man called Julian, on a flat, infinite world created by a man called Markus, that exists inside a small, private world created by the player, who inhabits a universe created by... Shush. Sometimes the player created a small, private world that was soft and warm and simple. Sometimes hard, and cold, and complicated. Sometimes it built a model of the universe in its head; flecks of energy, moving through vast empty spaces. Sometimes it called those flecks "electrons" and "protons". Sometimes it called them "planets" and "stars". Sometimes it believed it was in a universe that was made of energy that was made of offs and ons; zeros and ones; lines of code. Sometimes it believed it was playing a game. Sometimes it believed it was reading words on a screen. You are the player, reading words... Shush... Sometimes the player read lines of code on a screen. Decoded them into words; decoded words into meaning; decoded meaning into feelings, emotions, theories, ideas, and the player started to breathe faster and deeper and realised it was alive, it was alive, those thousand deaths had not been real, the player was alive You. You. You are alive. and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the sunlight that came through the shuffling leaves of the summer trees and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the light that fell from the crisp night sky of winter, where a fleck of light in the corner of the player's eye might be a star a million times as massive as the sun, boiling its planets to plasma in order to be visible for a moment to the player, walking home at the far side of the universe, suddenly smelling food, almost at the familiar door, about to dream again and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the zeros and ones, through the electricity of the world, through the scrolling words on a screen at the end of a dream and the universe said I love you and the universe said you have played the game well and the universe said everything you need is within you and the universe said you are stronger than you know and the universe said you are the daylight and the universe said you are the night and the universe said the darkness you fight is within you and the universe said the light you seek is within you and the universe said you are not alone and the universe said you are not separate from every other thing and the universe said you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code and the universe said I love you because you are love. And the game was over and the player woke up from the dream. And the player began a new dream. And the player dreamed again, dreamed better. And the player was the universe. And the player was love. You are the player. Wake up.
This 15-minute-long song is a masterpiece and is brilliantly made. This soundtrack suits the End perfectly and even leaves more questions than answers, this is probably one of the best tracks on C418's album Minecraft Volume Beta.
Really like who lived previously in the strong holds and how were they accessed and who built them why are there jail cess and iron doors and random chess and especially the library
You know how every zombie is dressed up in Steve's clothing? As if they're each a Steve who has perished in this infinite world. I believe Endermen are each Steve who has failed in the void.
@@XG-OFFICIAL-59 Then why there's PVP weapons and Armour on the End's citys chest The enderman (Aswell villagers but I don't know if they use it) weapon can't use it only We (Minecraft Humans) Can I think Humans went to the End to get away from someone or Some thing out of fear or close to Extinction go on Game theory on endermans
Fleent Stones? Do you know game theory it made a video talking about Minecraft lore he think the enderman was humans that went to the end because they have summon the wither
Am I the only one who likes this? The end, after the dragon has been defeated, is my favourite place in the whole game. The sensation of loneliness, being lost in another dimension is just awesome. And this soundtrack really adds a lot to it.
The corrupted sky realm holding the final enemy that stands in your way. The gate to wakeing up from a never-ending dream. Either you let the void consume you. Or you slay the beast. The mother dragon protecting her egg and the one who holds prisoner of the tortured souls of the ones from the past who had first discovered the abyss of what we call The End. The pressure knowing that if you fall you lose everything. The feeling of your death slowly looming closer. Only to be fought back when you slay Her. Yes. This realm really feels as if it's my home. I'm with you.
Lmao, I think we all had a scary minecraft moment. Mine was when a cave sound played in my house just after I joked to myself about hero brine joining my game. Oml I couldn’t sleep that night and I was just staring at my Xbox the entire night
Shadow Soul24 Oh please, to me Nothing is scarier then a fucking Cave Spider 😂 They’re Small invasive (If it takes a while to find the spawner) Their walking sound effect is just spooky Poisonous, meaning the moment one hits, that debuff is ticking you down to a half heart no matter of what your armor is And on top of all of that, they hide better behind walls when climbing because they’re so small. So when you least expect it one just drops down in front of your face
in Minecraft's early days I saw somebody in my house on singleplayer and they didn't have a nametag... and it wasn't a villager either O_O" hate me if you want, but I'm pretty sure that stupid white-eyed virus got in my house or something
the music does give a big hint that the end feels like something you weren't supposed to see... Look at the textures of some of the blocks in the end including the end crystals they all have simple designs like they were in early development (including endstone it's a re-texture of cobblestone)
Never thought of that way, almost like the End dimension was actually bound to never be found and endermans are glitches of the end that managed to get on the overworld
@Conflux I doubt he meant literally. We were obviously meant to see and explore it as part of the game, but the whole place gives off vibes that say the opposite.
i wasnt even aware the end had a song until a few years ago and when i listened to this in its entirety i was stunned, especially the sweden part always gives me goosebumps
@@seggsdefender6478 shoulda got feather falling maxed out on your boots and full port 4 armor unless the fall was into the void then there's nothing to do but pearl back up and hope it lands, and if it does get your blocks ready to clutch, because if its on the side of a bigger island you CAN save yourself from falling in again also bring a couple totems if you don't have good enchantment luck or a slow falling potion
Ok. People with theories. Actual cannon story of minecraft here. If you read the entire end credits text, it's made pretty clear that Minecraft is a "short dream". The "short dream" of the game, as opposed to the "long dream" of life. Minecraft is a lower level of reality that exists within an infinite amount of higher ones. The End is that, THE END. It is a means for the two entities talking to eachother to wake you up from the "short dream" of minecraft, and encourage you to wake up from the "long dream" of life. These two entities, which seem to be the basic fundamental forces of existence (such as atoms, quarks, energy, strings, higgs bosons, etc.), mention the purpose of your existence in Minecraft and the real world. But the information is redacted, saying that you cannot read it because you have not reached a "higher level". Minecraft is just a really long visual poem that tells the player to try to enlighten themselves Edit: Yes, i know this is not an in-game explaination for Minecraft's in-game lore. Its a theory about what Minecraft as a whole (and the end credits) mean. I phrased it wrong in the beginning, and my apologies. Its no more an explaination of Minecraft's lore as it is of the Earth's history. And no, I came to this hypothesis long before MatPat made his Game Theory. I made a comment on HIS video say as such. I know that the honor system doesnt work well on the internet, but I dont like lying to people. I never intentionally spread unoriginal ideas. So please give me the benefit of the doubt, im just trying to be a respectable guy.
@@autisticduck3071 they are entities of the minecraft realm which are like an obstacle to you that also have a backstory to them, it's kind of like the antagonist to your minecraft player in a way
I love how this music was formed. The beginning just reminds you of your adventure throughout your Minecraft world. 8:06 is when you have finally broke all healers and is about to go in for your battle with the Ender Dragon..
When your journey has come so far. From building your first house, finding diamonds, delving deep into the Nether, to the End Game itself. It's you facing off one of Minecraft's final challenges. Ah the feels. :')
This shit gives me chills. I love the remixed classic Minecraft music paired with the chilling sounds and eeriness of the dark, cold feeling of the end.
Pineapple_Pines lmao true but also, the end is cold and dark. Once I had a dream about the end and my mom said that it was very cold and dark there and I should wear a jacket
Even though Minecraft is being revived, nothing, NOTHING, can bring back those nights spending hours organizing your items, or wandering the horizon... Poping in Creative, and pouring lava and water buckets over a unlucky village. Or bevieving in Herobrine, haunting everyones world As much as veterans of Minecraft want the way it was in 2013, it won't happen. But no matter how much Minecraft leaves that simplicity, we will always love it. And no other game can replicate that game.
Minecraft is the only game in my life that I played for at least 5 years . I been playing since 2012/2013 , when it was barely released on Pocket Edition . Man those were the days , I didn't realize it until now
I adore this song. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of something coming to an end. In the beginning of the song, you hear bits and pieces of the regular music, like your just playing normal Minecraft, but then it starts glitching out, indicating that this is very different then the over world and nether alike. You hear the glitchy sounds echo across the empty void seemingly forever as you enter a place that you might never escape. This is not where you explore, this is where you die, this is where you suffer from the mighty wrath of the Ender Dragon. But then after a while, it picks up, you can defeat the dragon no matter how powerful it is. You can escape this endless void of emptiness, you can escape the eternal torment that these other humans (Endermen) had to go through. Eventually you defeat the dragon while the music starts to pick up and make you feel sad that the game is over, proud that you overcame this righteous beast, honored that you’ve saved this civilization of people who were doomed to be eternally stuck in nothingness. Then as the Ender Dragon fades away, all of the corruption sounds unleash and start to echo in this empty void. You have won. The music grows nearly silent, as you realize, it’s over, you’ve defeated Minecraft. And while, there are tons more things to do after beating the dragon, it gives you a feeling like no other. As you jump into the portal back to your world, you start reminiscing and remembering when you first started your journey as the song “Sweden” makes a reprise. While the game is not completely over, you have overcome some of the toughest things this masterful game has to offer. This song meshes all of the aspects of things coming to an end into one. The realization that you’re at your final trial, the helplessness, the emptiness, the loneliness, the triumph and the nostalgia as you realize this journey is finally over. This song speaks to me in a way no other song could. It makes me sad, happy, reminiscent, scared, philosophical, angry and intimate all at the same time. And that’s why C418 is a legendary composer. And why Minecraft is possibly one of the greatest games of all time.
This has to be the most honest comment I've ever came across on youtube. Videogame music can tell a lot about the game's story, given the right context that is.
This soundtrack touches me the most, its like floating in the end, all the old music playing in the background, your ready to "free the end" in the same way it feels powering like you want to keep going to get elytra and build your world, thanks notch and the rest of the minecraft team.
This song signifies that you have been through everything. Now you have access to everywhere. You accomplished the impossible. You can do whatever you wanted to do.
I can do whatever I want? well then time for the end to become an unstoppable empire and manipulate everyone via greed, corruption, and promises of a better future
14:43 Notch takes the disc out of his jukebox to examine it and the disc. After a few seconds he just puts the disc back in its case leaving it there. He puts in another disc and you hear the crackles at the start knowing that the next song is about to start in another few seconds. He walks back to his chair and sits down to relax as the next song starts to play
fun fact: in spotify the statics at the end of the song "the end" are synchronized with the statics of the beginning of "chirp" so when removing the first disc notch places the disc "chirp" (sorry my english is very bad)
Minecraft has changed. This song just gives you the nostalgia of what minecraft was like in the earlier days, when we were just children, with our lives ahead of us, and so many new things to discover. We all wish we could just go back.
has no one ever thought that the end is just space? why you think there is floating ships and the sky is black as the night. it’s not that it’s another realm or reality. it’s just the end of the universe, the very top of it, with the overworld in the middle and the nether at the bottom. there is no bedrock borders unlike the nether because it is totally underground, while the end is way above. the obsidian pillars also give off this obelisk vibe, which are usually tied with enlightenment and cosmic power, ie space odyssey. also since the pillars are 2001 references, and in that movie it ends with something of a creator or space entity enlightening our main character, and when you go through the fountain, the credits roll which are basically in the same vein as the movie, where two deitys or creators are talking to and about you and how your adventure in your minecraft world is a metaphor for your life. damn this shit cool. the music itself also sounds a lot like the caretaker's "everywhere at the end of time", a 6 stage, 6 hour ambiance music album (the same type of music minecraft has, ambient) that musically portrays the loss of one's reality through dementia. the way the overworld themes come in and disappear or just become warped before fading into total unintelligible white noise is a lot like the way that album portrays the loss of thought through starting the album with nostalgic, simple piano melodies that remind the person of their life, (like the overworld), before becoming darker as the person starts to have mental problems and life becomes painful and there mind starts to break, (like the nether music as well as how the nether is considered to be one of the more turbulent parts of your world), and finally, the latter half of the album shows the mind completely shattering. the sonic landscape is made of white noise saved for the occasional sparse melody to come in for a split second, almost as if the person is remembering something, before dissappearing. much like how in the end the overworld music comes in and drops out in the end. so basically minecraft as a whole is really a metaphor about your life, and as you gain more knowledge you lose your humanity. some shit like that.
First thing what you feel is nostalgia. Then... You just realize that it's literally the end. Nothing more... Thats... All... And then you start to remember everything you went through. That's... All... And you just keep living. Slowly forgetting about those days. But still. Sometimes. Good memories appearing, but, they are already so forgotten that you can't remember what exactly was. Until one last moment...
Nether Hollow You’re here. Do what you must. Overworld Calm Base game. It’s what you remember. End Despair Nothing is left. There is no hope. Unless you try hard enough. Creative Hollow but happy You can do anything if you put your mind to it.
It’s not really scary tbh, this soundtrack kind of signals it’s the end by showing bits of the other songs and the nostalgic part at the end that makes you scroll through le memories
I see the player you mean. (players name)? Yes. Take care. It has reached a higher level now. It can read our thoughts. That doesn't matter. It thinks we are part of the game. I like this player. It played well. It did not give up. It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a screen. That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a game. Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the reality behind the screen. They used to hear voices. Before players could read. Back in the days when those who did not play called the players witches, and warlocks. And players dreamed they flew through the air, on sticks powered by demons. What did this player dream? This player dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created. And it dreamed it destroyed. It dreamed it hunted, and was hunted. It dreamed of shelter. Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. But what true structure did this player create, in the reality behind the screen? It worked, with a million others, to sculpt a true world in a fold of the (scrambled) , and created a (scrambled) for (scrambled) , in the (scrambled). It cannot read that thought. No. It has not yet achieved the highest level. That, it must achieve in the long dream of life, not the short dream of a game. Does it know that we love it? That the universe is kind? Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes. But there are times it is sad, in the long dream. It creates worlds that have no summer, and it shivers under a black sun, and it takes its sad creation for reality. To cure it of sorrow would destroy it. The sorrow is part of its own private task. We cannot interfere. Sometimes when they are deep in dreams, I want to tell them, they are building true worlds in reality. Sometimes I want to tell them of their importance to the universe. Sometimes, when they have not made a true connection in a while, I want to help them to speak the word they fear. It reads our thoughts. Sometimes I do not care. Sometimes I wish to tell them, this world you take for truth is merely [scrambled] and [scrambled], I wish to tell them that they are [scrambled] in the [scrambled]. They see so little of reality, in their long dream. And yet they play the game. But it would be so easy to tell them... Too strong for this dream. To tell them how to live is to prevent them living. I will not tell the player how to live. The player is growing restless. I will tell the player a story. But not the truth. No. A story that contains the truth safely, in a cage of words. Not the naked truth that can burn over any distance. Give it a body, again. Yes. Player... Use its name. (players name). Player of games. Good. Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your lungs. Let your limbs return. Yes, move your fingers. Have a body again, under gravity, in air. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the universe again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things. Who are we? Once we were called the spirit of the mountain. Father sun, mother moon. Ancestral spirits, animal spirits. Jinn. Ghosts. The green man. Then gods, demons. Angels. Poltergeists. Aliens, extraterrestrials. Leptons, quarks. The words change. We do not change. We are the universe. We are everything you think isn't you. You are looking at us now, through your skin and your eyes. And why does the universe touch your skin, and throw light on you? To see you, player. To know you. And to be known. I shall tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a player. The player was you, (players name). Sometimes it thought itself human, on the thin crust of a spinning globe of molten rock. The ball of molten rock circled a ball of blazing gas that was three hundred and thirty thousand times more massive than it. They were so far apart that light took eight minutes to cross the gap. The light was information from a star, and it could burn your skin from a hundred and fifty million kilometres away. Sometimes the player dreamed it was a miner, on the surface of a world that was flat, and infinite. The sun was a square of white. The days were short; there was much to do; and death was a temporary inconvenience. Sometimes the player dreamed it was lost in a story. Sometimes the player dreamed it was other things, in other places. Sometimes these dreams were disturbing. Sometimes very beautiful indeed. Sometimes the player woke from one dream into another, then woke from that into a third. Sometimes the player dreamed it watched words on a screen. Let's go back. The atoms of the player were scattered in the grass, in the rivers, in the air, in the ground. A woman gathered the atoms; she drank and ate and inhaled; and the woman assembled the player, in her body. And the player awoke, from the warm, dark world of its mother's body, into the long dream. And the player was a new story, never told before, written in letters of DNA. And the player was a new program, never run before, generated by a sourcecode a billion years old. And the player was a new human, never alive before, made from nothing but milk and love. You are the player. The story. The program. The human. Made from nothing but milk and love. Let's go further back. The seven billion billion billion atoms of the player's body were created, long before this game, in the heart of a star. So the player, too, is information from a star. And the player moves through a story, which is a forest of information planted by a man called Julian, on a flat, infinite world created by a man called Markus, that exists inside a small, private world created by the player, who inhabits a universe created by... Shush. Sometimes the player created a small, private world that was soft and warm and simple. Sometimes hard, and cold, and complicated. Sometimes it built a model of the universe in its head; flecks of energy, moving through vast empty spaces. Sometimes it called those flecks "electrons" and "protons". Sometimes it called them "planets" and "stars". Sometimes it believed it was in a universe that was made of energy that was made of offs and ons; zeros and ones; lines of code. Sometimes it believed it was playing a game. Sometimes it believed it was reading words on a screen. You are the player, reading words... Shush... Sometimes the player read lines of code on a screen. Decoded them into words; decoded words into meaning; decoded meaning into feelings, emotions, theories, ideas, and the player started to breathe faster and deeper and realised it was alive, it was alive, those thousand deaths had not been real, the player was alive You. You. You are alive. and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the sunlight that came through the shuffling leaves of the summer trees and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the light that fell from the crisp night sky of winter, where a fleck of light in the corner of the player's eye might be a star a million times as massive as the sun, boiling its planets to plasma in order to be visible for a moment to the player, walking home at the far side of the universe, suddenly smelling food, almost at the familiar door, about to dream again and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the zeros and ones, through the electricity of the world, through the scrolling words on a screen at the end of a dream and the universe said I love you and the universe said you have played the game well and the universe said everything you need is within you and the universe said you are stronger than you know and the universe said you are the daylight and the universe said you are the night and the universe said the darkness you fight is within you and the universe said the light you seek is within you and the universe said you are not alone and the universe said you are not separate from every other thing and the universe said you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code and the universe said I love you because you are love. And the game was over and the player woke up from the dream. And the player began a new dream. And the player dreamed again, dreamed better. And the player was the universe. And the player was love. You are the player. Wake up.
"The music reflects where you are, The End. You've grown as you played, since the moment you made the world. You braved darkness. You braced endless monsters. You made a world to fall into when you were sad. You made a world that you'd waste your time with. Who knows? You might have even made a friend because of it. But it's done. You reached it. You reached The End. Your story is almost over, as you reflect on your journey, to beat the dragon and go back to the shack you made, a shack no more it is. You wish to go back, I hope. You wish to start over, to go back to that time. You wished you could relive it, To re-love it, To re-enjoy it. The music reminds you of the times you would sit on the hill, near home, and watch the sun rise with the music playing. When life was simple. Now life is all homework, school, college, and your future. Nothing about the past. The music reminds you of your childhood, and your past. And then the music goes dark. And the music dies." -Unknown
8:06 ох как же приятно ушам. Прям переход в мелодию c418 Sweden. И очень сильная настольгия, как я проходил Майнкрафт в 2020 один и гулял по энду... Спасибо c418 за его творения! P.S. Ещё эта музыка асецуируется с 2b2t когда стоишь в очереди.
El Hee-Hee it’s not hard at all, all you need is slow falling potions and speed potions and ladders to climb and break the healing things and hit the dragon by his legs when he’s at the portal thingy, you really don’t even need good armor
I love that, at the end of the song, you can here someone taking out a tape or disc and replacing it. It's like the song itself was corrupted, becoming this jumbled mess of all the other songs. Because the end shouldn't exist, it shouldn't have a song. It's not... right. And so we can't understand it, nor can the game. It gets worse and worse until some outside power comes in and has to fix it.
4:34-5:20 The way that "dry hands" playing... It's like, the song is trying to remember itself. It does but... after some point it fails, tries again and can't remember itself. That means so much tome there.
Funny story. I started playing minecraft in 2014, and I told myself every time I started a new world, whether it was by myself or with friends and cousins, that we would beat the ender dragon. Took me 5 years to defeat him. Because I always lost hope and said the game was too hard but because I had so much fun i always made a new world and a new one and kept going. When I finally got to the end in 2019...this sound track scared me sh*tless. I had finally pieced together the end portal and jumped in. It was almost 2am and I was alone in my dark room because my family was out on a business trip. I had wanted to freak out, but the beginning of this soundtrack just felt like another regular Minecraft soundtrack so I felt calm. After about a minute of relaxing and processing what I had just accomplished, I mined out of the underground box I was incased in, and made it to the surface of the end. Everything was going well, until the soundtrack hit 1:07. . The last time I remember shitting my pants that hard was when I was a baby. C418. Thank you Thank you for scaring me shitless and giving me such an amazing soundtrack to a legendary game. Minecraft was my childhood and everytime I hear a sound track from minecraft I cry because of how much fun I had with my friends and family on the game when we were little kids. I listen to soundtracks like this and it brings me both terrifying and comforting memories.
*took u 5 years? a random green blob beats minecraft in around 27 mins, and don't forget the ms paint guy called korbanoes who beats it in 15 minutes but somehow gets a little bit of attention*
The End Dimension reminds of Xen from Half-life. A bunch of floating chunks of levitating land with strange towers and creatures in what likes like the middle of space.
I'm playing Minecraft for I think 7 years now and almost never turned on the background music. Now yesterday when I entered the end, I decided to turn it on and when that theme started I ignored it, since I thought it's the classic minecraft theme, till I got jumpscared at 1:14 and stopped whatever I was doing to listen to this song with goosebumps
my theory is that c418 is good at making music

King Smore, YESS

8:05 I remember one year my great nanny came down to visit us during easter and I was playing Minecraft on my moms computer. I had to have been 8 or 9 as it was a pretty early version of minecraft, the end must have been just added. However at that time, I remember I was in the Overworld building a house and Sweden started to play. My great grandma was a pianist. She could play any song she heard. We visited her house every couple of months yearly. So having her down at our house for a holiday was special. I remember when Sweden started to play, she walked by and said "wow, who is playing the piano, it's absolutely beautiful." I remember smiling and saying "It's my game." She responded "I love that, keep playing your game." ...I never will forget that moment.... I never finished that world... and then she passed away a couple years later... After this, I remember returning to Minecraft on my ps3, creating a new world. I was determined to beat the game for the first time alone without the help of my older brother. After hours of playing, I beat the dragon... but before I left through the portal to the credits... I waited for Sweden to play in the end track at 8:05 one last time. I remember sitting there silently... Eyes full of tears... Thinking about all of my memories made with her during visits... and as the music faded off into the silence of the void, I cried.... I thought "I did it Nanny..."
I love you great Nanny. Thank you for everything. All of the memories... I'll never forget them. It's funny how a song from a game about blocks can be so emotionally powerful. How these songs can connect us to moments in life. To people.
One of my favorite memories where when me and my brother used to play irl Minecraft in her front yard. It had a big hill we used to climb up and pretend to build houses on. I'm nearly 20 this year. Man time flies... Now in college, I look back at when I was in 3rd grade and experienced these moments for the first time. Feels like another whole life time ago. But strangely as if it was yesterday also.
If your still young, cherish the people and things you have around you. Cherish everything. It all goes so quick.
R.I.P grandma.
Thank you, I’m sure there’s a lot of people here that needed this. It might sound corny, but everything you’ve said is completely true.
I'm sorry for your loss, i'm also 20 years old, well said about everything
I don’t hear Sweden at 8:05. I might be dumb. It might also be that what I believe is Sweden is the first half that I’ve played on the piano for 5 years (I’m a noob though)
But thanks for sharing!
Ok I listened to the OG track on YT again and I can hear it in the end of Sweden (pun not intended) in a different key
The first time I heard this in the end I thought minecraft was broken
McYeeDDD lol i know the same thing happened to me😂
Do you know why it has that glitchy music?
Olaf Emmanuel Probably to show what the end really is as to me it feels like a deleted or corrupted world

Omega_65 1:03

Same so annoying
Ever realize how creepy the end is? Instead of a giant world like the over world or nether, it’s just one. A single, floating island with no coordinates, no time and no texture, one block type. It’s almost as if this is some kind of forgotten memory, a decaying land on the brink of corruption. A world that’s lost it’s shape, form, and color. The only remaining enemy is the forgotten souls of the mobs as enderman, and a dragon with a soul purpose of flying about the island, with no hope or any motives. A brainless, empty void of a previous world, fading, corrupted, decaying.
Точнее не описать...
Damn that’s deep
It feels like Xen from Half-Life. Every mob even the dragon may be from other dimensions. The reason there's mobs from other dimensions like endermen in the overworld is like the resonance cascade.
That's because the end represents what minecraft truly is without the veil of gameplay. The nether and the overworld keeps it hidden by bedrock layers and a giant sky but the void is equally present in both those worlds as it is in the end. Oh sure, there are a few more blocks in those worlds, a few more mobs, a few more things you can do but after all of that has been done what's left ?
You and the endless void.
Perhaps the end is what happens to a minecraft world when the player stops existing. It falls into disrepair and void
"Don't look at the void. Even you can't stop it"
"Stop what?"
"The Dragon"
"What dragon?"
"That one"
The end is hidden in the overworlds void. You are already in the void, beneath bedrock, but your put so low that the void wont kill you.

the sign of a terrific music producer :)
That’s because it is. It’s the soundtrack to YOUR story. This is the credit song for YOU. This is the END of YOUR story. This song is a recap of all the things you did, all that you’ve accomplished. It’s to remind you of your first day, the overworld, the nether, everything you’ve done up to this point. It’s all YOUR story. And this is the end of the final chapter.
I don’t even know how he planned that
@@Whyiseveryhandletaken6942 It’s indeed named “the end”. After all.
This soundtrack sounds like at first you were dreaming about your past adventures, and suddenly, something makes you stop dreaming, and you "wake up" on this strange stone floating in space
I have no clue why, but the sound error noise gives me chills...
Like it basically sends you a false feeling of home, then it begins losing power, effectively causing the error sound. Then the rest is a "you're not home anymore child" aspect.
Is basically "You are in the end, look everything you have done so far to reach this point" and inmerse back in your memories, until suddenly those memories begins to glitch out and fade saying "wake up....", realizing you need to go on.

Climax: 8:06 - 9:36. This part is what brings this song beauty, nostalgia, anxiety, sadness, joy, and so much more
I agree, and the sadness part comes in to where you have to kill something and put it into extinction. Just to be able to finish the game.

Even after all these years of it being on Minecraft, this track still gives me chills
We won't get anything like this for decades. Dude who made this music soul was on a totally different level than ours
I played Minecraft since 2012, but I never killed the dragon until like a year ago, when me and my friends started a realm. It was like 3am and I was building a bridge between the islands, carrying a lot of loot, with this music that I never heard before, and I was completely terrified. I can't remember the last time a videogame make me feel such a strong feeling. And that's why I love Minecraft. Because after all these years playing it, it still has a lot to discover. It's different each time.

Man, I played minecraft since 2013 in Xbox360 edition (nostalgia moment), when the ender dragon was an op mob. And I beat it after 7 years, 9 java versions, almost 30 legacy and bedrock edition updates and 4 consoles (xbox360, ps4, wii-u, nintendo switch)

yeah, that's my favorite part!
its amasing :D
By far my favourite part of the piece, it's so atmospheric
set it to 2x
Wow, this whole time I never realized that the tune was supposed to be Sweden
This makes the end feel more like a gap in time or a tear in between dimensions. It doesn't want you there so it keeps trying to bring you back with that familiar music but fails due to your constant determination to discover something. It reminds me of a certain game that I can't mention cause it would spoil the ending of it.

Nope.

8:06 - 9:48 is easily the most intense part of this song and possibly the soundtrack as a whole. Throughout the song, you can hear distant melodies, songs that you recognize from your journey vaguely fading in and out. This moment right here however has been the most in your face about this. The piano cords are no longer faded out but very clearly in the foreground at the center of attention. A sort of moment of solace allowing you to reflect upon your journey. But then, this motif finishes and you're back to the noise, only growing louder and louder, the faded music returning until finally, a single low bass note cuts through all of it, allowing even the noise to begin fading away. Such a wonderful work of art this music is.
I never really cared about the soundtrack that was being used until one day I was playing Minecraft in the End, when this part came on I loved it ever since.

One time this came on when I was looking for End cities with friends, and then at the climax I found an end city! I got it on video to! It was epic! It's at that moment that you know your making memories!
You have just taken my feelings of this song, and put them into perfect words.
This is by far my favourite piece of music from minecraft. It uses the nostalgic peaceful songs you were used to and contorted them into a distorted and yet epic mess.
After the glitchy bit its beautiful hearing the main theme but something's not quite right it sounds epic. Then I calms down and your hear it again distorted and slowed down.

The overworld song slowly being glitched is actually really darn genius because is essentially of what is meant to remind you of. Is the end. So it plays a corrupted version of the overworld being slowly transformed into a glitchy yet really spooky state. To the point it becomes its own song.

Wtf the End has music??? The only thing I hear is
*Dragon Growl* *Enderman Noises*
Maybe your music volume is low compared to your regular sound effects volume. I always have mine around 20% higher than the sound effects so I can hear the music.
Plus the dragon has its own theme.
Maybe stay in the end after you defeat the enderdragon then
The music only plays if the dragon is dead. If you respawn it then the music stops until it is defeated
Dictator i cant have music on
and here is why
first my family went to this week long thing where we made amazing friends and all of us kids were playing minecraft on the xbox 360 and we later learned that we would never see those people because my dad switched jobs
we moved into a new house where we didnt know anyone but i had one kid around my age decide to welcome me and we were almost on a free walk in and out of eachother’s house basis. 3 years we would play minecraft every day and just have fun...
last year he moved states away and i do not have an xbox (we would both play on the same console with two controllers) so when i played minecraft next i had to turn the music off so i didnt cry my eyes out
its painful to hear the music of times that have gone by and can never be re lived through.
“we didn’t realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun” -winnie the pooh
This probably sounds dumb, but I'm 17, and I've played minecraft for years. And today, I beat the ender dragon on straight survival for the first time (without cheats/creative, or anything of that nature). When the ender dragon was at low health, the part at 8:08 set in, and for some reason it felt really emotional. Before I finished off the ender dragon I closed my eyes and every single minecraft related memory that I have just suddenly flashed into my mind, from when I first got the game on the Xbox 360, to now. almost like an extreme wave of nostalgia. I know it took me a stupidly long amount of time to actually beat the game, but something about the end music is just so emotional/powerful while hearing it ingame
I'm pretty sure the ender dragon has its own song when entering for the first time
I'm the same, I've only beat the game once, about 2 years ago. For the first time, and never managed since. Purely on survival with no cheats. It took me a long time too seen as I started playing as a small kid
I certainly have a similar experience. I started playing Minecraft when I was 9 years old and finished it for the first time when I was 12 years old. Fun fact: the second time I beat the game I did it without mining, in full Zico tops style. Then without dying, on hard difficulty. Then in Minecraft Java edition.
Did the same a couple days ago as well, after a decade of playing the game. I feel like C418 intended for the end music to represent those emotions
I played minecraft for the first time when I was 6 back in 2013 on my brothers Xbox 360. I’ve never killed the ender dragon on a solely survival world, but every time I enter the end on creative I always wait for the bit at 8:06 to start. Its got a surprisingly emotionally intense aspect to it for some reason and Ive never worked out why
Nether=Very far past
Overworld=present
The End=really far future
no imagine it this way there is many different worlds and a corruption has taken over all of them and the end nether and overworld are the only ones left and the end is soon to be completely swallowed by the corruption and the nether is being destroyed by the corruption and the overworld is soon to be affected
Well the end does look like some kind of ruins that are now inhabited by some entities and in the song you can still hear some faint sounds of the overworld music but it's mostly overcome by the sounds of this creepy music
@Juan Mendoza Its not backwards.
So¿Minecraft is a dejaboo?
I have a theory...
(Its gonna be really long)
I think, The End doesnt physically exist.
Here the explanation:
How does Endermen teleport?
I think, they used the End as a teleportation gateway, since the End doesnt physically exist, therefore theres no distance.
Like (A -> End -> B)
Or they can just stay in the End, and can get out whenever they want. (A -> End)
"But if it doesnt exist, how did we got there in the first place? I mean we literally fought the Ender Dragon..."
Endermen teleports from A to B with a portal. Create one at A, and create another portal at B. All happened in milliseconds.
The "End Portal" that we can unlock with 12 Ender Eyes, is actually a *makeshift* version of the Endermen teleportation.
But there is one flaw-
There will be no exit. Like a train without destination. You are stuck on a train, moving forever, until you unlocked the other portal, which is the one that will unlock when you killed the Ender Dragon.
You have to be stuck between "Point A" and "Point B" to be in the End.
Imagine being stuck between the doorframe, between the two doors.
Thats the End.
But hey its just a theory
Theories aside, I find it very ingenious and disturbing that through the end's music, you can hear and recognize various songs from the normla overworld that have been distorted and swept under the ever present noise of vastness from the end.
Same the first one always creeps me out when it gets distorted and glitches
And then at around the 8 minute mark... a remix of Sweden kicks in.
Yea it's OG overworld soundtracks, but off note, distorted and crooked
nedia joseph I didn’t remember the music did that, and had my volume turned all the way up. Scared the shit outta me, lol.
and then when you go back to your world and hear the regular minecraft music it’s very beautiful

I love how this is the clearest, least distorted part in the whole song. It gives such a contrast to the other parts where there's music playing over other music, playing out of tune, and repeating like a broken record. It gives a sense of awakening and clarity. To me, it's saying "Wake up. Your journey isn't over. You're here for a reason."

One of the biggest mistakes I made in my 8 years of playing Minecraft was playing 7 of them with the music off... I really wish I hadn’t now. When I hear the music, it brings up all the memories I could have made if I had left the music on. Moments gone, forgotten. Forever.
Wait the end music is gone gone??
RIP I'm sorry mate
@@ShepdogX5 no
@awestorm gaming why did you have it off in the first place?
@@remix2593 I remember it being "a thing" people did back then. TH-camrs at some point started doing it, and so general players did it too, and you got kinda shunned if you even had them on.
It's a bit tragic, but it also kind of makes it so you only really associate the Minecraft music with the game's early days, and your early days with it. Simpler times, far before the game's "fall".
So in a way it's a bit of a blessing in disguise.
For a world defined by infinity, a place named The End sure does seem... strange. A world with infinite choices and possibilities and land to explore and yet The End is very tight and claustrophobic. You only have a tiny island with no escape to roam. Two different kinds of blocks, a single type of mob and a single boss. The only way out is with someone dying. You, or the dragon. Not a lot of possibilities or options. Everything about it is so uncomfortably barren.
To me, that's what The End represents. The end of infinity. Humans always want more. They want infinity but aren't satisfied by that. They want an End to that Infinity too. I don't think it's a coincidence that The End and the end were both introduced on Minecraft's full release. Because in a way, Minecraft was that Infinity. And when you kill the Dragon, you're killing that Infinity too. You brought The End to Infinity.
There also are the shulkers in the ships of the end city
This is exactly how I feel after killing the dragon. Just two words: “now what?”
That's why I wish they never added the outer end islands. I think the biggest impact of the End is how underwhelming it is. In trying to give yourself an end point, you made the game finite. Now it's just you, and this endless void. Congratulations, you've gone as far as you can, nothing's past here. Was it everything you wanted?
bro the fact that C418 added the normal minecraft music to the end but slightly distorted made it sound even more like a forgotten or corrupted world..
The End could possibly be a corrupted world that remained even after deletion.
The question is, who did that world originally belong to?
@@silverflight01 idk, maybe it was a cobblestone world since end stone is just inverted cobblestone (in color)
My theory is that the end is an alternate overworld, but overtime became distorted and glitched. The dragon was a being they summoned to help them. But it betrayed them and became their dictator.

I have an interesting theory about the dimensions. I belive the end and nether portals are a form of time travel. Let's start with the nether. The nether is a very distant past of the overworld we know today. It was inhabited by a primitive, ancient species that built the nether fortresses.I belive the nether and overworld are connected because pigmen can spawn in the overworld via a pig getting struck by lightning. The overworld is what was evolved from the nether. Over a course of millions of years life would bounce back and the world would be beautiful. Civilizations would spring up left and right filled with life and prosperity. Moving on to the end, the end is a very far future where the universe is on its last legs as reality crumbles before us. You have probably noticed that endermen exist in all 3 dimensions and I belive this is because they have been around since the begining. They have been watching reality take place, hiding in the shadows, becoming aggressive only when noticed. The strongholds were built in an attempt to figure out where the endermen were coming from, but while doing this they discovered the end. After realizing what they just saw they frantically attempted to prevent this terrible future from inevitably happening, but they had failed. It was the beginning of the end. Slowly over thousands of years reality would fall apart and life in the overworld would perrish. The only things left at the end were the ones there since the beginning. The endermen.
Wow, that’s crazy. What about the Ender Dragon?
And shulkers
I also thought about it, and I started to believe it even more when I saw the name of the new ore: ancient debris
Amazing theory!
Earth would crumble, as all reality, and the End is actually part of the earth, lost in space. The Ender Dragon is from the farthest realms of space, and it took over the End. That's why the achievement is called: 'Free the End'.
one possibility is that the end is the realm where worlds are unsuccessfully deleted, leaving the old players and the remaining scraps of the world distorted and corrupted. why do you think there are strangely built cities in the end? why do you think the endermen speak english? why do you think they cant stand looking at you? you, a player, still having their world to enjoy, while they are stuck in the "end." how or why such a creepy place would exist is beyond me, but i guess we found a way to enter it.
Wait Enderman can speak English? And there were not always cities in The End, so that does not support your case. Otherwise it's a really good theory.
B E S T T H E O R Y E V E R
they do speak English but its distorted and backwards. There are videos on you tube of it :)
This is a good theory But I think it's a different universe that the sun turn into a dwarf and the solar system was broken but a part of the earth was flung to space and now this theory
In accordance to lore, you are to not take the existence of something by its addition to the game but by its presence in the game. Therefore from a lore stand point, the end cities were always there, and thus can be used to theorize on the End. By going on your logic, then one can't theorize on the Overworld since most of the mobs weren't around.
8:00
This music is so majestic. I personally think that it mirrors the middle stages of a life.
So sad, so broken, so twisted. Yet... in the jumble of sadness, and unknown outcomes.
*_There is hope_*
in my opinion this is the best Minecraft song of all time - it's honestly a masterpiece. The sheer range of emotions this piece brings out of me is incredible. It makes me extremely nostalgic, scared, happy, uncomfortable, blissful and even anxious. It evokes exactly what was intended and for me is the main reason the end was so well done and special.
This is not the end, this is the beginning of the end.
You should listen to everywhere at the end of time then

I see the player you mean.
[Player Name]?
Yes. Take care. It has reached a higher level now. It can read our thoughts.
That doesn't matter. It thinks we are part of the game.
I like this player. It played well. It did not give up.
It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a screen.
That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a game.
Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the reality behind the screen.
They used to hear voices. Before players could read. Back in the days when those who did not play called the players witches, and warlocks. And players dreamed they flew through the air, on sticks powered by demons.
What did this player dream?
This player dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created. And it dreamed it destroyed. It dreamed it hunted, and was hunted. It dreamed of shelter.
Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. But what true structure did this player create, in the reality behind the screen?
It worked, with a million others, to sculpt a true world in a fold of the [scrambled], and created a [scrambled] for [scrambled], in the[scrambled].
It cannot read that thought.
No. It has not yet achieved the highest level. That, it must achieve in the long dream of life, not the short dream of a game.
Does it know that we love it? That the universe is kind?
Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes.
But there are times it is sad, in the long dream. It creates worlds that have no summer, and it shivers under a black sun, and it takes its sad creation for reality.
To cure it of sorrow would destroy it. The sorrow is part of its own private task. We cannot interfere.
Sometimes when they are deep in dreams, I want to tell them, they are building true worlds in reality. Sometimes I want to tell them of their importance to the universe. Sometimes, when they have not made a true connection in a while, I want to help them to speak the word they fear.
It reads our thoughts.
Sometimes I do not care. Sometimes I wish to tell them, this world you take for truth is merely [scrambled] and [scrambled], I wish to tell them that they are [scrambled] in the [scrambled]. They see so little of reality, in their long dream.
And yet they play the game.
But it would be so easy to tell them...
Too strong for this dream. To tell them how to live is to prevent them living.
I will not tell the player how to live.
The player is growing restless.
I will tell the player a story.
But not the truth.
No. A story that contains the truth safely, in a cage of words. Not the naked truth that can burn over any distance.
Give it a body, again.
Yes. Player...
Use its name.
[Player Name]. Player of games.
Good.
Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your lungs. Let your limbs return. Yes, move your fingers. Have a body again, under gravity, in air. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the universe again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things.
Who are we? Once we were called the spirit of the mountain. Father sun, mother moon. Ancestral spirits, animal spirits. Jinn. Ghosts. The green man. Then gods, demons. Angels. Poltergeists. Aliens, extraterrestrials. Leptons, quarks. The words change. We do not change.
We are the universe. We are everything you think isn't you. You are looking at us now, through your skin and your eyes. And why does the universe touch your skin, and throw light on you? To see you, player. To know you. And to be known. I shall tell you a story.
Once upon a time, there was a player.
The player was you, [Player Name].
Sometimes it thought itself human, on the thin crust of a spinning globe of molten rock. The ball of molten rock circled a ball of blazing gas that was three hundred and thirty thousand times more massive than it. They were so far apart that light took eight minutes to cross the gap. The light was information from a star, and it could burn your skin from a hundred and fifty million kilometres away.
Sometimes the player dreamed it was a miner, on the surface of a world that was flat, and infinite. The sun was a square of white. The days were short; there was much to do; and death was a temporary inconvenience.
Sometimes the player dreamed it was lost in a story.
Sometimes the player dreamed it was other things, in other places. Sometimes these dreams were disturbing. Sometimes very beautiful indeed. Sometimes the player woke from one dream into another, then woke from that into a third.
Sometimes the player dreamed it watched words on a screen.
Let's go back.
The atoms of the player were scattered in the grass, in the rivers, in the air, in the ground. A woman gathered the atoms; she drank and ate and inhaled; and the woman assembled the player, in her body.
And the player awoke, from the warm, dark world of its mother's body, into the long dream.
And the player was a new story, never told before, written in letters of DNA. And the player was a new program, never run before, generated by a sourcecode a billion years old. And the player was a new human, never alive before, made from nothing but milk and love.
You are the player. The story. The program. The human. Made from nothing but milk and love.
Let's go further back.
The seven billion billion billion atoms of the player's body were created, long before this game, in the heart of a star. So the player, too, is information from a star. And the player moves through a story, which is a forest of information planted by a man called Julian, on a flat, infinite world created by a man called Markus, that exists inside a small, private world created by the player, who inhabits a universe created by...
Shush. Sometimes the player created a small, private world that was soft and warm and simple. Sometimes hard, and cold, and complicated. Sometimes it built a model of the universe in its head; flecks of energy, moving through vast empty spaces. Sometimes it called those flecks "electrons" and "protons".
Sometimes it called them "planets" and "stars".
Sometimes it believed it was in a universe that was made of energy that was made of offs and ons; zeros and ones; lines of code. Sometimes it believed it was playing a game. Sometimes it believed it was reading words on a screen.
You are the player, reading words...
Shush... Sometimes the player read lines of code on a screen. Decoded them into words; decoded words into meaning; decoded meaning into feelings, emotions, theories, ideas, and the player started to breathe faster and deeper and realised it was alive, it was alive, those thousand deaths had not been real, the player was alive
You. You. You are alive.
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the sunlight that came through the shuffling leaves of the summer trees
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the light that fell from the crisp night sky of winter, where a fleck of light in the corner of the player's eye might be a star a million times as massive as the sun, boiling its planets to plasma in order to be visible for a moment to the player, walking home at the far side of the universe, suddenly smelling food, almost at the familiar door, about to dream again
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the zeros and ones, through the electricity of the world, through the scrolling words on a screen at the end of a dream
and the universe said I love you
and the universe said you have played the game well
and the universe said everything you need is within you
and the universe said you are stronger than you know
and the universe said you are the daylight
and the universe said you are the night
and the universe said the darkness you fight is within you
and the universe said the light you seek is within you
and the universe said you are not alone
and the universe said you are not separate from every other thing
and the universe said you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code
and the universe said I love you because you are love.
And the game was over and the player woke up from the dream. And the player began a new dream. And the player dreamed again, dreamed better. And the player was the universe. And the player was love.
You are the player.
Wake up.

This 15-minute-long song is a masterpiece and is brilliantly made. This soundtrack suits the End perfectly and even leaves more questions than answers, this is probably one of the best tracks on C418's album Minecraft Volume Beta.
Steve: "Minecraft?"
Ender Dragon: "Minecraft broke."
Steve: "Understandable, have a great day."
Why here?

Everyone's having theories about the end, when I'm over here questioning how the end portal was created to even go there in the first place.
Really like who lived previously in the strong holds and how were they accessed and who built them why are there jail cess and iron doors and random chess and especially the library
Yeah like you can’t break or craft them
Its composed of endstone and a cyan material. How they obtained endstone before they created the portal?
Endermans could bring endstone from their dimension to help the creators of the portal to save the dimension of the dragon
Watch matpats video its really good theory
You know how every zombie is dressed up in Steve's clothing? As if they're each a Steve who has perished in this infinite world.
I believe Endermen are each Steve who has failed in the void.

The end, after the dragon has been defeated, is my favourite place in the whole game. The sensation of loneliness, being lost in another dimension is just awesome. And this soundtrack really adds a lot to it.
At 8:06
It feels
Like an end
To a journey
This is litteraly my favourite soundtrack because it is basically overworld soundtracks, but distorted and crooked, wich makes it so mysterious
so atmospheric, it's unbelievable
You're not the only one...
The End is my favourite dimension and it's soundtrack is the best in the game.
The corrupted sky realm holding the final enemy that stands in your way.
The gate to wakeing up from a never-ending dream.
Either you let the void consume you.
Or you slay the beast.
The mother dragon protecting her egg and the one who holds prisoner of the tortured souls of the ones from the past who had first discovered the abyss of what we call The End.
The pressure knowing that if you fall you lose everything.
The feeling of your death slowly looming closer.
Only to be fought back when you slay Her.
Yes. This realm really feels as if it's my home. I'm with you.

I had a similar experience, I saw a nametag and had a mini heart attack, but then I remembered
It was just my dog who'd I used a nametag on
Lmao, I think we all had a scary minecraft moment. Mine was when a cave sound played in my house just after I joked to myself about hero brine joining my game. Oml I couldn’t sleep that night and I was just staring at my Xbox the entire night
Shadow Soul24
Oh please, to me Nothing is scarier then a fucking Cave Spider 😂
They’re
Small
invasive (If it takes a while to find the spawner)
Their walking sound effect is just spooky
Poisonous, meaning the moment one hits, that debuff is ticking you down to a half heart no matter of what your armor is
And on top of all of that, they hide better behind walls when climbing because they’re so small. So when you least expect it one just drops down in front of your face
in Minecraft's early days I saw somebody in my house on singleplayer and they didn't have a nametag...
and it wasn't a villager either O_O"
hate me if you want, but I'm pretty sure that stupid white-eyed virus got in my house or something
the music does give a big hint that the end feels like something you weren't supposed to see... Look at the textures of some of the blocks in the end including the end crystals they all have simple designs like they were in early development (including endstone it's a re-texture of cobblestone)
Never thought of that way, almost like the End dimension was actually bound to never be found and endermans are glitches of the end that managed to get on the overworld
After 7 years of playing that is the best theory I heard about the game. Thank you :)
Conflux Bruh Minecraft has a lore to us you cant change that!
Retexture? They just straight up inverted cobblestone
@Conflux I doubt he meant literally. We were obviously meant to see and explore it as part of the game, but the whole place gives off vibes that say the opposite.
i wasnt even aware the end had a song until a few years ago and when i listened to this in its entirety i was stunned, especially the sweden part always gives me goosebumps
4:50 sounds so nostalgic yet “you made it to the end” ughh i just love it so much
It’s crazy how sound can bring happiness, sadness, anger, and nostalgia. This song feels like old memories fading away.

Ok. People with theories. Actual cannon story of minecraft here. If you read the entire end credits text, it's made pretty clear that Minecraft is a "short dream". The "short dream" of the game, as opposed to the "long dream" of life. Minecraft is a lower level of reality that exists within an infinite amount of higher ones. The End is that, THE END. It is a means for the two entities talking to eachother to wake you up from the "short dream" of minecraft, and encourage you to wake up from the "long dream" of life. These two entities, which seem to be the basic fundamental forces of existence (such as atoms, quarks, energy, strings, higgs bosons, etc.), mention the purpose of your existence in Minecraft and the real world. But the information is redacted, saying that you cannot read it because you have not reached a "higher level". Minecraft is just a really long visual poem that tells the player to try to enlighten themselves
Edit:
Yes, i know this is not an in-game explaination for Minecraft's in-game lore. Its a theory about what Minecraft as a whole (and the end credits) mean. I phrased it wrong in the beginning, and my apologies. Its no more an explaination of Minecraft's lore as it is of the Earth's history.
And no, I came to this hypothesis long before MatPat made his Game Theory. I made a comment on HIS video say as such. I know that the honor system doesnt work well on the internet, but I dont like lying to people. I never intentionally spread unoriginal ideas. So please give me the benefit of the doubt, im just trying to be a respectable guy.
I came up with that theory with out actually checking that
@@themonkeymang yeah, sure you did, sure you spent a good amount of time theorizing about Minecraft
So.... does the ender dragon and ender men symbolise anything or are they just there?
@@autisticduck3071 they are entities of the minecraft realm which are like an obstacle to you that also have a backstory to them, it's kind of like the antagonist to your minecraft player in a way
Holy shit those words you've said just matched with your profile pic
I love how this music was formed. The beginning just reminds you of your adventure throughout your Minecraft world. 8:06 is when you have finally broke all healers and is about to go in for your battle with the Ender Dragon..
8:06 this part makes the wind blow through my hair for some reason
When your journey has come so far. From building your first house, finding diamonds, delving deep into the Nether, to the End Game itself. It's you facing off one of Minecraft's final challenges. Ah the feels. :')
Pro GameMaster888 Sweden here is epic
This shit gives me chills. I love the remixed classic Minecraft music paired with the chilling sounds and eeriness of the dark, cold feeling of the end.
Because you left your fan on
Pineapple_Pines lmao true but also, the end is cold and dark. Once I had a dream about the end and my mom said that it was very cold and dark there and I should wear a jacket
Even though Minecraft is being revived, nothing, NOTHING, can bring back those nights spending hours organizing your items, or wandering the horizon...
Poping in Creative, and pouring lava and water buckets over a unlucky village.
Or bevieving in Herobrine, haunting everyones world
As much as veterans of Minecraft want the way it was in 2013, it won't happen.
But no matter how much Minecraft leaves that simplicity, we will always love it.
And no other game can replicate that game.
And you know what? I'm okay with that.
Minecraft is the only game in my life that I played for at least 5 years . I been playing since 2012/2013 , when it was barely released on Pocket Edition . Man those were the days , I didn't realize it until now
Dude I want the good old 2010 times. I've played that long ago. That was much more nostalgic.
Or go back to Beta in the launcher...

I adore this song. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of something coming to an end. In the beginning of the song, you hear bits and pieces of the regular music, like your just playing normal Minecraft, but then it starts glitching out, indicating that this is very different then the over world and nether alike. You hear the glitchy sounds echo across the empty void seemingly forever as you enter a place that you might never escape. This is not where you explore, this is where you die, this is where you suffer from the mighty wrath of the Ender Dragon. But then after a while, it picks up, you can defeat the dragon no matter how powerful it is. You can escape this endless void of emptiness, you can escape the eternal torment that these other humans (Endermen) had to go through. Eventually you defeat the dragon while the music starts to pick up and make you feel sad that the game is over, proud that you overcame this righteous beast, honored that you’ve saved this civilization of people who were doomed to be eternally stuck in nothingness. Then as the Ender Dragon fades away, all of the corruption sounds unleash and start to echo in this empty void. You have won. The music grows nearly silent, as you realize, it’s over, you’ve defeated Minecraft. And while, there are tons more things to do after beating the dragon, it gives you a feeling like no other. As you jump into the portal back to your world, you start reminiscing and remembering when you first started your journey as the song “Sweden” makes a reprise. While the game is not completely over, you have overcome some of the toughest things this masterful game has to offer. This song meshes all of the aspects of things coming to an end into one. The realization that you’re at your final trial, the helplessness, the emptiness, the loneliness, the triumph and the nostalgia as you realize this journey is finally over. This song speaks to me in a way no other song could. It makes me sad, happy, reminiscent, scared, philosophical, angry and intimate all at the same time. And that’s why C418 is a legendary composer. And why Minecraft is possibly one of the greatest games of all time.
F*ck yeah
poggers
This has to be the most honest comment I've ever came across on youtube. Videogame music can tell a lot about the game's story, given the right context that is.
WOW
This is by far the longest comment I’ve ever written
This soundtrack touches me the most, its like floating in the end, all the old music playing in the background, your ready to "free the end" in the same way it feels powering like you want to keep going to get elytra and build your world, thanks notch and the rest of the minecraft team.
This song signifies that you have been through everything. Now you have access to everywhere. You accomplished the impossible. You can do whatever you wanted to do.
I can do whatever I want? well then time for the end to become an unstoppable empire and manipulate everyone via greed, corruption, and promises of a better future
@@porkyminch1640 bruh
this shit is spooky, it tells more that end became corrupted or something
Porky Minch bruh
14:43
Notch takes the disc out of his jukebox to examine it and the disc. After a few seconds he just puts the disc back in its case leaving it there. He puts in another disc and you hear the crackles at the start knowing that the next song is about to start in another few seconds. He walks back to his chair and sits down to relax as the next song starts to play
fun fact: in spotify the statics at the end of the song "the end" are synchronized with the statics of the beginning of "chirp" so when removing the first disc notch places the disc "chirp" (sorry my english is very bad)
To Be Continued. . .
JOSE DAVID MONCADA DIAZ haha you said it perfectly dude that’s good English
@JOSE DAVID MONCADA DIAZ so chirp is the crackles in the end?
@@HurricaneBeryl Maybe...
Quite a powerful track, to be honest. It's both spooky, creepy, beautiful and kind of futuristic as well.
Minecraft has changed.
This song just gives you the nostalgia of what minecraft was like in the earlier days, when we were just children, with our lives ahead of us, and so many new things to discover.
We all wish we could just go back.
9:46 - That final echo is so epic and massive... It makes me thoughtful
I love this moment
has no one ever thought that the end is just space? why you think there is floating ships and the sky is black as the night. it’s not that it’s another realm or reality. it’s just the end of the universe, the very top of it, with the overworld in the middle and the nether at the bottom. there is no bedrock borders unlike the nether because it is totally underground, while the end is way above.
the obsidian pillars also give off this obelisk vibe, which are usually tied with enlightenment and cosmic power, ie space odyssey.
also since the pillars are 2001 references, and in that movie it ends with something of a creator or space entity enlightening our main character, and when you go through the fountain, the credits roll which are basically in the same vein as the movie, where two deitys or creators are talking to and about you and how your adventure in your minecraft world is a metaphor for your life. damn this shit cool.
the music itself also sounds a lot like the caretaker's "everywhere at the end of time", a 6 stage, 6 hour ambiance music album (the same type of music minecraft has, ambient) that musically portrays the loss of one's reality through dementia. the way the overworld themes come in and disappear or just become warped before fading into total unintelligible white noise is a lot like the way that album portrays the loss of thought through starting the album with nostalgic, simple piano melodies that remind the person of their life, (like the overworld), before becoming darker as the person starts to have mental problems and life becomes painful and there mind starts to break, (like the nether music as well as how the nether is considered to be one of the more turbulent parts of your world), and finally, the latter half of the album shows the mind completely shattering. the sonic landscape is made of white noise saved for the occasional sparse melody to come in for a split second, almost as if the person is remembering something, before dissappearing. much like how in the end the overworld music comes in and drops out in the end. so basically minecraft as a whole is really a metaphor about your life, and as you gain more knowledge you lose your humanity. some shit like that.
Then why is there a huge space between the end city islands and the main island
EarthlyBlock499 because the way the islands form idk bruh thats not really importany

The End is a small chunk of rock in The Void that cannot be reached by breaking bedrock.

First thing what you feel is nostalgia. Then... You just realize that it's literally the end. Nothing more...
Thats... All...
And then you start to remember everything you went through. That's... All...
And you just keep living. Slowly forgetting about those days. But still. Sometimes. Good memories appearing, but, they are already so forgotten that you can't remember what exactly was.
Until one last moment...

Excuse me? “Children’s game”???
I see the player you mean.
(players name)?
Yes. Take care. It has reached a higher level now. It can read our thoughts.
That doesn't matter. It thinks we are part of the game.
I like this player. It played well. It did not give up.
It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a screen.
That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a game.
Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the reality behind the screen.
They used to hear voices. Before players could read. Back in the days when those who did not play called the players witches, and warlocks. And players dreamed they flew through the air, on sticks powered by demons.
What did this player dream?
This player dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created. And it dreamed it destroyed. It dreamed it hunted, and was hunted. It dreamed of shelter.
Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. But what true structure did this player create, in the reality behind the screen?
It worked, with a million others, to sculpt a true world in a fold of the (scrambled) , and created a (scrambled) for (scrambled) , in the (scrambled).
It cannot read that thought.
No. It has not yet achieved the highest level. That, it must achieve in the long dream of life, not the short dream of a game.
Does it know that we love it? That the universe is kind?
Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes.
But there are times it is sad, in the long dream. It creates worlds that have no summer, and it shivers under a black sun, and it takes its sad creation for reality.
To cure it of sorrow would destroy it. The sorrow is part of its own private task. We cannot interfere.
Sometimes when they are deep in dreams, I want to tell them, they are building true worlds in reality. Sometimes I want to tell them of their importance to the universe. Sometimes, when they have not made a true connection in a while, I want to help them to speak the word they fear.
It reads our thoughts.
Sometimes I do not care. Sometimes I wish to tell them, this world you take for truth is merely [scrambled] and [scrambled], I wish to tell them that they are [scrambled] in the [scrambled]. They see so little of reality, in their long dream.
And yet they play the game.
But it would be so easy to tell them...
Too strong for this dream. To tell them how to live is to prevent them living.
I will not tell the player how to live.
The player is growing restless.
I will tell the player a story.
But not the truth.
No. A story that contains the truth safely, in a cage of words. Not the naked truth that can burn over any distance.
Give it a body, again.
Yes. Player...
Use its name.
(players name). Player of games.
Good.
Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your lungs. Let your limbs return. Yes, move your fingers. Have a body again, under gravity, in air. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the universe again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things.
Who are we? Once we were called the spirit of the mountain. Father sun, mother moon. Ancestral spirits, animal spirits. Jinn. Ghosts. The green man. Then gods, demons. Angels. Poltergeists. Aliens, extraterrestrials. Leptons, quarks. The words change. We do not change.
We are the universe. We are everything you think isn't you. You are looking at us now, through your skin and your eyes. And why does the universe touch your skin, and throw light on you? To see you, player. To know you. And to be known. I shall tell you a story.
Once upon a time, there was a player.
The player was you, (players name).
Sometimes it thought itself human, on the thin crust of a spinning globe of molten rock. The ball of molten rock circled a ball of blazing gas that was three hundred and thirty thousand times more massive than it. They were so far apart that light took eight minutes to cross the gap. The light was information from a star, and it could burn your skin from a hundred and fifty million kilometres away.
Sometimes the player dreamed it was a miner, on the surface of a world that was flat, and infinite. The sun was a square of white. The days were short; there was much to do; and death was a temporary inconvenience.
Sometimes the player dreamed it was lost in a story.
Sometimes the player dreamed it was other things, in other places. Sometimes these dreams were disturbing. Sometimes very beautiful indeed. Sometimes the player woke from one dream into another, then woke from that into a third.
Sometimes the player dreamed it watched words on a screen.
Let's go back.
The atoms of the player were scattered in the grass, in the rivers, in the air, in the ground. A woman gathered the atoms; she drank and ate and inhaled; and the woman assembled the player, in her body.
And the player awoke, from the warm, dark world of its mother's body, into the long dream.
And the player was a new story, never told before, written in letters of DNA. And the player was a new program, never run before, generated by a sourcecode a billion years old. And the player was a new human, never alive before, made from nothing but milk and love.
You are the player. The story. The program. The human. Made from nothing but milk and love.
Let's go further back.
The seven billion billion billion atoms of the player's body were created, long before this game, in the heart of a star. So the player, too, is information from a star. And the player moves through a story, which is a forest of information planted by a man called Julian, on a flat, infinite world created by a man called Markus, that exists inside a small, private world created by the player, who inhabits a universe created by...
Shush. Sometimes the player created a small, private world that was soft and warm and simple. Sometimes hard, and cold, and complicated. Sometimes it built a model of the universe in its head; flecks of energy, moving through vast empty spaces. Sometimes it called those flecks "electrons" and "protons".
Sometimes it called them "planets" and "stars".
Sometimes it believed it was in a universe that was made of energy that was made of offs and ons; zeros and ones; lines of code. Sometimes it believed it was playing a game. Sometimes it believed it was reading words on a screen.
You are the player, reading words...
Shush... Sometimes the player read lines of code on a screen. Decoded them into words; decoded words into meaning; decoded meaning into feelings, emotions, theories, ideas, and the player started to breathe faster and deeper and realised it was alive, it was alive, those thousand deaths had not been real, the player was alive
You. You. You are alive.
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the sunlight that came through the shuffling leaves of the summer trees
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the light that fell from the crisp night sky of winter, where a fleck of light in the corner of the player's eye might be a star a million times as massive as the sun, boiling its planets to plasma in order to be visible for a moment to the player, walking home at the far side of the universe, suddenly smelling food, almost at the familiar door, about to dream again
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the zeros and ones, through the electricity of the world, through the scrolling words on a screen at the end of a dream
and the universe said I love you
and the universe said you have played the game well
and the universe said everything you need is within you
and the universe said you are stronger than you know
and the universe said you are the daylight
and the universe said you are the night
and the universe said the darkness you fight is within you
and the universe said the light you seek is within you
and the universe said you are not alone
and the universe said you are not separate from every other thing
and the universe said you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code
and the universe said I love you because you are love.
And the game was over and the player woke up from the dream. And the player began a new dream. And the player dreamed again, dreamed better. And the player was the universe. And the player was love.
You are the player.
Wake up.

I actually cried when they said my name ngl
"The music reflects where you are, The End.
You've grown as you played, since the moment you made the world.
You braved darkness.
You braced endless monsters.
You made a world to fall into when you were sad.
You made a world that you'd waste your time with.
Who knows? You might have even made a friend because of it.
But it's done. You reached it.
You reached The End.
Your story is almost over, as you reflect on your journey, to beat the dragon and go back to the shack you made, a shack no more it is. You wish to go back, I hope. You wish to start over, to go back to that time.
You wished you could relive it,
To re-love it,
To re-enjoy it.
The music reminds you of the times you would sit on the hill, near home, and watch the sun rise with the music playing.
When life was simple.
Now life is all homework, school, college, and your future. Nothing about the past. The music reminds you of your childhood, and your past.
And then the music goes dark.
And the music dies."

I love that, at the end of the song, you can here someone taking out a tape or disc and replacing it. It's like the song itself was corrupted, becoming this jumbled mess of all the other songs. Because the end shouldn't exist, it shouldn't have a song. It's not... right. And so we can't understand it, nor can the game. It gets worse and worse until some outside power comes in and has to fix it.
No you can't your deaf
@@St0pLookingAtMyProfile ??
@@St0pLookingAtMyProfile Dude, at the VERY end the music cuts and you here someone take the tape/disc out
@@scarfshek7073 yeah
And that person could be the player, slaying the Ender dragon?
The End is a dark void.
Broken
Distressed
Sad
Gone
thats deep bro
TBDSG? What is that achronim?
So I have the end living in me
Soldier 75 the end is a void so as the overworld of the deep of the bedrock
,reduced to atoms
4:34-5:20 The way that "dry hands" playing... It's like, the song is trying to remember itself. It does but... after some point it fails, tries again and can't remember itself.
That means so much tome there.
Funny story. I started playing minecraft in 2014, and I told myself every time I started a new world, whether it was by myself or with friends and cousins, that we would beat the ender dragon.
Took me 5 years to defeat him. Because I always lost hope and said the game was too hard but because I had so much fun i always made a new world and a new one and kept going. When I finally got to the end in 2019...this sound track scared me sh*tless.
I had finally pieced together the end portal and jumped in. It was almost 2am and I was alone in my dark room because my family was out on a business trip. I had wanted to freak out, but the beginning of this soundtrack just felt like another regular Minecraft soundtrack so I felt calm.
After about a minute of relaxing and processing what I had just accomplished, I mined out of the underground box I was incased in, and made it to the surface of the end.
Everything was going well, until the soundtrack hit 1:07. . The last time I remember shitting my pants that hard was when I was a baby.
C418. Thank you
Thank you for scaring me shitless and giving me such an amazing soundtrack to a legendary game. Minecraft was my childhood and everytime I hear a sound track from minecraft I cry because of how much fun I had with my friends and family on the game when we were little kids. I listen to soundtracks like this and it brings me both terrifying and comforting memories.
yeah same i just defeated the ender dragon a month ago and i have been playing the game for 5 years
The ender dragon is a girl
I havnt defeted the ender dragon yet (in survival), and i have been playing minecraft for about 6-7 years,
Every Speedrunner in existence seeing this comment be like
*took u 5 years? a random green blob beats minecraft in around 27 mins, and don't forget the ms paint guy called korbanoes who beats it in 15 minutes but somehow gets a little bit of attention*
The End Dimension reminds of Xen from Half-life. A bunch of floating chunks of levitating land with strange towers and creatures in what likes like the middle of space.
Reliable Rocco That's actually a really cool pointout. Never thought about it
Reliable Rocco I was going to say that

Last... you are the last...
Win... you cannot win...
Remember those theories saying “Nether Is Hell And The End Is Heaven”?
The Nether is actually the hell (if you are in the Nether and tap F3,it you will tell you biome:hell) and The End:Sky (the same thing with F3)
Nothing that’s because the end was a scrapped version of Notch’s Sky Biome. He trashed the sky biome, and replaced it with The End.
@@KangarooCheese55 Recycle (I already knew that Notch deleted the Sky Biome/Heaven/Aether)
What If heaven was corrupted and that's what we get the end
@@solidslfy2879 I enjoy this thought
I'm playing Minecraft for I think 7 years now and almost never turned on the background music. Now yesterday when I entered the end, I decided to turn it on and when that theme started I ignored it, since I thought it's the classic minecraft theme, till I got jumpscared at 1:14 and stopped whatever I was doing to listen to this song with goosebumps
