What I find interesting about the A New Dawn section (0:00-1:43) is that most of the Stellaris score, at least everything from the base game score, is in a minor key, with the minor 6th interval moving upward as a repeated part. Since this is the Utopia expansion, I think Waldetoft wanted to create a more optimistic feeling, and did this part in major. You can hear a major 6th interval moving upward in some parts too.
I was watching a human colony ship nearing the orbit of far away planet when 4:18 played. The music blaring triumphantly, as they neared the planet’s orbit evoked this feeling of awe and wonder, it oddly made me my eyes tear up with joy. I know the game is meant to be fictional but seeing that spaceship reach that planet may be real within hundreds or a thousand years fills me with goosebumps. I know we won’t be alive to see it, and the future might change and wipe us out. But the thought of seeing humanity live on, and thrive in space, explore, and just… be there… it makes me cry and the music at 5:04 when the ship successfully landed just added so much to the emotions I was feeling Imagining a thriving future of Utopia in space makes me cry with wonder
Perfectly timed music is amazing and hilarious. I play the Star Wars Roleplaying game and listen to Star Wars and TWICE in the same session, The Force Theme played in the most coincidental of times (both as a character was explaining things about the Force… I also wish to see humanity colonize, survive, and thrive on other worlds. But probably not in my lifetime. I envision a future where humanity has grown to the point where we have orbital stations around Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and maybe even Neptune just to expand our population. Having large stations to support our expansion is going to be a awe inspiring move.
Somehow I ended up listening to "Cradle of the Galaxy" a couple of weeks after Starship's first successful launch. And the mental image of this massive powerful rocket launching, while the music played made me a little misty eyed.
@@johnpaulbrebonia9106 that's not what I want. Firstly that's not a dlc, that's a separate purchase that allows you to play stellaris music through steam. It's an album. Secondly, I want new music, music that plays in game.
Wow... talk about over indulging yourself. Dude, just because it's better than most of the soundtrack from the base game does not render it John Powell for X-Men 3, dude.
Also, dude, that's like THE WRONG part to drool over like un perro in Miami in august, you know? I mean, after actually listening through most of the song... you do realize that 7:26 exists, right, and is so superior it makes me want to write Halo vs Mass Effect fanfiction where the UNSC reigns supreme despite overwhelming Citadel odds, right?
@@damienjohnson3450This OST has a few good wubwubs in it too, just not in this specific piece. Although I agree with you, I love this piece despite appreciating wubwubs as well
how i personally break this down Part one; The wonders of the universe and the spirit of exploration (early game) Part two; Industrialization and the march to war part three; Peacetime and the hope that comes with it part four; The formation of alliances to defend against an existential threat, the eventual victory and a look towards the future. basically embodying the feel of the experiences of a typical playthrough of the game... except that last part, usually you end up having to deal with that on your own lol.
The woodwind trill just after 7:45 is beautiful. I recognize it from some other scifi but I can't quite place it - is it a leitmotif reference to something else?
7:26. Beginning of the best moment of the song. Your welcome future me searching for this song to download, because Paradox, for some reason, decided to embed this gem in a significantly less good overall song.
Hm, "Paradox decided". There's an actual composer behind the score, Andreas Waldetoft. He always writes complete orchestral compositions. If the composition has a significant climax like this one, it will lead up to it, the build up has a meaning. It's not written to produce soundbites. That's why it's so good, not just as OST, but also as standalone music :)
I agree with everything flashpeter said, but I would also like to add: every moment of this piece is actually really fucking amazing. There isn’t really one gem of a moment embedded in here, this whole soundtrack is a massive crate of gems.
No way could a dyson sphere like that be built. That looks like a bigger star than ours, and planets like Mercury or Venus would look tiny compared to that. Even if you would be able to filter through and get enough of the right elements and metals to build the panels, from just a few planets, it would still cost a lot of energy to move all of that. Plus even if you built it like above, you'd block out sunlight from any nearby habitable worlds, thus cutting off any potential supply of food for the workers, unless they're automated. Then this energy would have to be transported somehow, in batteries? You'd need more rare elements to build them, and they'd be heavy.

I had 6:24 after winning a war against a hivemind, very satisfying feeling indeed

this could be in the background of Picard's final frontier speech.
Tarik360 I got a strong Star Trek vibe from it, too.
TNG "Relics"
@Black lives Matter Is a Terrorist organization lmao
7:26 ...goosebumps.
The soundtrack is the best part of this game, easily.
I'd love if they just made a music dlc. I'd pay $10 for another 20 songs. The stellaris soundtrack is amazing
@@johnpaulbrebonia9106 nope. I would love a music dlc.

There's no god. Only mankind is in front of us.

I get nostalgia from this song. I should really play it more often.
I understand there are tastes....but if you dislike something like this, what is it that you like?
A taste of some AI generated wubwubwub? There are people who lacks the ability to hear music, it's all noise to them
@@Dumb-Comment I like the wubwubs but still like this, idk what to tell ya.

girls with big 6oo6s
Synthwave cures the soul.
This song is simply epic. No other way to describe it.
This Music From Paradoxes new DLC for there game Stellaris is Truly Wonderful a great piece of music
Keep in mind all of this was composed by Andreas Waldetoft. He gets way too little Credit for this
Song almost sounds like it could be in a Stargate show or film.
Or Star Trek
stargate is crap lol
@@zrusit9640 wrong
tnx for upload this awesome ost :)
how i personally break this down
Part one; The wonders of the universe and the spirit of exploration (early game)
Part two; Industrialization and the march to war
part three; Peacetime and the hope that comes with it
part four; The formation of alliances to defend against an existential threat, the eventual victory and a look towards the future.

It sounds like a part from Star Wars.
Also Star Trek -- Enterprise leaving space dock or coming back for the win.
The opening theme of Stargate uses it as well!
I swear I've heard it in Alien Isolation. Seems like sci-fi and space-based stuff love it lol
Star Trek 2: Wrath of Kahn - Main Theme Song. th-cam.com/video/aICzV6QS9wA/w-d-xo.html
3:18 I start crying.
Wow, if you listen closely, you can hear some similarities to other Paradox game themes like EU4 and HOI4
CK as well. You can have a go at Knights of Jerusalem, the CK3 main theme.
Andreas Waldetoft composed for both of those games as well as Stellaris so it makes sense!
I didn't own stellaris but their ost is fantastic btw if u want to buy this game check humble bundle monthly
Awesome main theme

1:00 I keep expecting it to turn into the Stargate SG-1 opening theme
the fact that this is not in the new ingame music player is really irritating me
A shortened version of it known as 'Towards Utopia' is however
yes, and i also found the beginning part as "A New Dawn"
Yea I agree!
Agree :( Really disappointing...

You can add it manually. Download the soundtrack, then add it to the music folder somewhere in the Stellaris files and voila
Long live human beings!
Sounds like a sci-fi space movie soundtrack
Probably Morbius
Damn man i miss this intro
Anyone else hear the beginning of the Gravity Falls OP at 2:32?
Star trek vibes
Every successful economy is built around a hopeless cycle of ?
