The song is an allegory to Noah's flood. After forty days of rain and darkness, the clouds part as a rainbow illuminates the sky, juxtaposing a sense of calm against the scene of an endless wasteland made hopeful only by the last sanctuary that is the Ark. At least, that's what I was told.
All good stories have an end and that's a good thing. In the time of endless franchises, that's more obvious than ever. A good story ends while it's good or it goes on until it has ceased to be a good story. New good stories will come, when old ones make room. The only reason i see why we shouldn't get anything as good as Halo again is that popculture seems to be stuck in a terminal obsession with self referencing and self aware irony.
Who knows. Maybe at one point it was going to be considering an entire Forerunner city got scrapped and nearly half the campaign. Dare to dream I guess
Coolest damn song in Halo 3. It’s so cool walking through this desert only to see the massive map room overlooking the sea with all the sentinals in the background
This song is absolutely amazing. You can feel the awe that Chief and the others would have felt staring at their galaxy from such a powerful installation, it’s amazing
@@gistvisions @Forerunner i saw you guys on the overcome song video and the sad comments which the the song reminded you of your decisions in life, wholesome to see you guys reunite in this video and yeah i feel the same about the songs, making me think about life, sad like helpless feeling, sad songs
Anyone else notice the extremely faint sound of flowing water in the background throughout the whole song, such a small detail but really adds to the atmosphere
I think that some songs have a stamp of "time" to them, and this one truly sounds like it was made in 2007. But that's not a bad thing, 2007 was a beautiful year for me and in many things that I interacted with in that year. I feel like this song captures and echoes that feeling of the period so flawlessly in such a beautiful way that feels nostalgic. I feel like experiences back then were so much better connected than now. I feel like the orchestral soundtracks of not too long ago helps bring a more cohesive structure to games rather than just a one man electronica composer (not that this is bad either,) but overall it's an emotion that I feel listening to this that is very difficult to put into words.
If the game is a throwback to the Bungie Halo’s or takes inspiration from them I’d be okay with that too. This song conveys the mysterious power of the Forerunners greatly
@@Nova-vk5qb You just blew my mind. I've been playing this game almost since it launched, and I've replayed it so many times. That line always confused me because I never knew what he was surprised about and I'd just forget it in a minute.
It is and it was. They are a bit outdated which, no surprise there, but in some ways it looks better than Halo Infinite and I do think Infinite is a great looking game (in most scenarios)
@@phanto6599 The only thing "outdated" perhaps is the actual textures used in sheer resolution. If you tried to remaster the game with modern graphics, it wouldn't have the same look or character.
So calm... So soothing... And it's from a game about alien euthanasia and giant death hula hoops... Now that is a combo meal I can agree to buy for 8 bucks
This song always gave me the idea the Forerunners were a benevolent race, the choir cradling you like a baby, so you can marvel at the beauty of the starry night sky.
In my opinion this is the best Halo soundtrack.. It does a perfect job of capturing the sheer size, majesty and wonder of Forerunner structures while also utilizing the Forerunners mysterious and somewhat creepy ambience to utilize the fear of the unknown..
There's a heavy feeling to it too, knowing the length they went to to stop the Flood, their lost empire withstanding the test of time and waiting to be found again.
Since they added this song i to flood firefight, i always get the sense of dread and isolation whenever I hear this. The flood are a terrifying force to be dealt with
I hope that when we encounter different forerunner structures in infinite they have different themes, like the bungie style forerunner structures have a empty, abandoned, cold, dead ambiance. While the 343 style forerunner architecture has this peaceful calming choir music
The magical sounds of exploration and finishing the fight. Following along structures of a dead species, and wanting to wonder the mystery behind it all. This is what you would want it call beauty, beauty has mean many forms but this will make you feel and see a fictional universe.
I will never forget the true halo I spent countless hours on each game alone with friends and family there’s no telling how many minutes I’ve spent listening to Halo’a music I’ve even shed tears to couple songs from the series I’m thankful for all that you are all that you were and I’m thankful you posted this video🎯
I imagine myself in Epitaph in it's glory day. The warm glowing hologram of the guardian, the data libraries and the ocean of sand calmly blowing outside.
That could be a real Forerunner structure, a library or repository that houses the archives containing millennia of their history, watched over by an ancilla, rows of terminals, star maps of their empire minus anything on the Array, walls of the concourse to the entrance an awespiring hundreds of feet tall with planters on each side.
Okay so. This soundtrack is great. Not going to dispute that at all. But the choral parts of this particular track remind me incredibly strongly of the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Album.
I love this, it such a calm and soothing song with the choir and the paino, it plays if you know that the human race is on the brink of extinction. humanity at its peak was at 30 billion then 23 billion losses from the Covenant war o extinction. But I love this song because not only is humanity at stake but the whole galaxy or even the universe from the flood.
I've been playing the Halo 3 ODST flight on pc and this track plays during the stand by phases between waves in firefight. Did they add that just now or has it always been there?
Hey man, if you still use this channel (hopefully so you see this).. if you send me the stems for both parts of this song, I’ll happily blend a version using ableton where theres no jumps, high frequency clashes or anything, ill make a seamless version for you to upload, just so people who appreciate this song can hear a flawless version 👌
This is to teenage (14+) me what Spyro, Ratchet and Clank, Crash, Jak and Daxter etc ambience was to 9 year old me… it’s seared into my psyche forever as peaceful music.
Infinite should have this, but since it looks like they are doing classics, do this but to make it sound both mysterious, like this one, and feel like homage, have there be that angelic choir they have in Reverie to sing the tune along with this...
"That's... our galaxy. We're beyond the rim."
Come on! Return to you galaxi
2×18th light year from the galactic center, to be precise.
Can you say where exactly we are?

Shivers every time
The future has never sounded so ancient.
Great way to put it. All the Forerunner’s knew and accomplished, gone and void of life.
All of this has happened before, and it will happen again...
This short piece really captures the majesty of what I consider to be the best video game of all time.
Halo 3 is a literal flawless masterpiece. its the only game ive ever played where the "flaws" are nitpicks or small complaints.

We'll never have anything like the original Halo trilogy again and it's hard to accept that.
It is hard to accept, but we should be happy that we were there to experience it, to make memories with it.
@@roachdoggjr1454 it's DaRoachDogg's little boy!

Im beginning to think that this is truly the most underrated song from the entire franchise... This should be main menu music, easily
Two year old comment… but with my reply, you will return. And you will remember.

This song epitomises the magic behind the original 3 halo games

Anyone else notice the extremely faint sound of flowing water in the background throughout the whole song, such a small detail but really adds to the atmosphere
A little bit
Could be a subtle nod to the flood
This music is basically God’s children discovering Eden for the first time. It’s surreal.
Lol, true. halo music has always sounded so mystical. This exemplifies that.
Feels like Marty had some divine inspiration....
Love this in ODST firefight.
It specifically goes with floodfight very well.

This captures Halo as a whole. Just the raw emotion this track portrays is haunting and beautiful
Explain with one soundtrack, what makes Halo special to any other story made by humans.
The Soundtrack :
So calm...
So soothing...
And it's from a game about alien euthanasia and giant death hula hoops...
Now that is a combo meal I can agree to buy for 8 bucks
I will forever call the halo array giant death hula hoops until the day I die. I LOVE THAT! 😂 that is the best thing ever.
Halo's soundtrack was beautiful, caught all the essence of the game.. hope halo infinite bring us something similar
The music heard so far really hits that classic Halo feel so here's hoping man.
this is basically what i hear when someone mentions the forerunners
alien and mysterious but mostly beautiful
Great music to fall asleep on
This song always gave me the idea the Forerunners were a benevolent race, the choir cradling you like a baby, so you can marvel at the beauty of the starry night sky.
Such a beautiful and sad tune. Really makes me feel something I can’t really describe
In my opinion this is the best Halo soundtrack.. It does a perfect job of capturing the sheer size, majesty and wonder of Forerunner structures while also utilizing the Forerunners mysterious and somewhat creepy ambience to utilize the fear of the unknown..
Makes me wish we could explore what's out there.
There's a heavy feeling to it too, knowing the length they went to to stop the Flood, their lost empire withstanding the test of time and waiting to be found again.
I've been looking for this soundtrack for years. Thanks for putting it out here!
Anthem of my childhood
Please God I wish this beautiful soundtrack will be in Halo Infinite, I will legit cry if this ost plays in Infinite :’
Lmao
F
i would like to say that this can never be remade with the same feeling its giving me.
Since they added this song i to flood firefight, i always get the sense of dread and isolation whenever I hear this. The flood are a terrifying force to be dealt with
Thank you so much, I've been searching for just this bit of the song for ages.
It also plays in Firefight during Halo 3 ODST. That's how I was able to find it.
Me too
Sometimes I heard it on the streets level
Loved hearing this right before Firefight began in ODST.
The pack will feast on you!
Love it. Wish it was a single track in the ost. Also, I miss exploring halo for the first time :'(
I hope that when we encounter different forerunner structures in infinite they have different themes, like the bungie style forerunner structures have a empty, abandoned, cold, dead ambiance. While the 343 style forerunner architecture has this peaceful calming choir music
I love that this part is also in 'From the Vault' from Reach as a tribute mixed with other tracks from different Halo's
Halo CE had the gameplay
Halo 2, the story
Halo 3, 100% the music
So soothing good for ASMR
“Didact..do you have a moment? Just a moment, that’s all it will take.”
Bro I've been looking for this shit for forever, i have a audacity rip on my SoundCloud
Best choir music in Halo 3

the lil harp really adds the mystery and beauty with the ark
That harp gives me life
Every time I hear this I imagine myself in a forerunner suit or tunic walking through a well lit forerunner library looking at terminals✌🏻
Clayton Burch I imagine it kinda like how it actually played it. Walking along in an ancient, powerful yet lonesome place with immense power
I imagine myself in Epitaph in it's glory day. The warm glowing hologram of the guardian, the data libraries and the ocean of sand calmly blowing outside.
That could be a real Forerunner structure, a library or repository that houses the archives containing millennia of their history, watched over by an ancilla, rows of terminals, star maps of their empire minus anything on the Array, walls of the concourse to the entrance an awespiring hundreds of feet tall with planters on each side.
3:54 is pure bliss
I would literally play the ark over and over to just hear this song
sounds so celestial,Astral,constellation like
so beautiful
God demn this nostolgia
Such a beautiful piece for relaxing and breathing exercises. Though I must beg you to please remove the loud pop at 5:00 haha
*slowly closing my eyes while listening to this* This sound: 5:01
HALO 3 WAS MADE FOURTEEN YEARS AGO
Halo 3 is the best game so far ever played when I was 6 from watching doctor who David Tennant
The opening of this song is so creepy for some reason but once it breaks into the calm tone it’s so relaxing..
I see you , Reclaimer
Damn do I love it when I'm playing ODST firefight n this song comes on...
Spark...move!
Okay so. This soundtrack is great. Not going to dispute that at all. But the choral parts of this particular track remind me incredibly strongly of the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Album.
1:07 tell me i'm not the last one that finds a big similarity with Floating Trees by C418.
It has the same kind of loneliness to it.
Thingy I agree. It conveys the sense one might feel of walking in the halls of a building made by a long dead civilization

I listened to this while texting someone on 240mg DXM. Felt like I was inside a celestial rocking chamber.
Is there an extended version of the harp version?
the track is called "forerunner site"
Actually, its “small victory”
I was sleeping for 1000 years or so but I woke up to this should I be scared?
there is a harp????? I never noticed lmao
Level up!
Reminds me of Metroid prime 3 skytown

Infinite should have this, but since it looks like they are doing classics, do this but to make it sound both mysterious, like this one, and feel like homage, have there be that angelic choir they have in Reverie to sing the tune along with this...
How did you make a longer version?
I took the segments at the part before you fight the Scarab, then took the parts before and during the Cartographer and put them together.
Oh. I was wondering if you stay in the area does the segment loop by itself or does it play once then stop?
@@christopher8659 Never tried to do that before, but it might, the music will loop at the Citadel when you fight those two Scarabs.
Is this in the Official OST of Halo 3?
Technically yes but actually no
It’s not, just parts of it. That’s why this video is so great cause it isolated these parts
' Behold a Pale Horse'
are you all high or something? this entire piece is playing IN game, but it's faint and silent
I always thought it sounded like some Mirror's Edge music lol.
Is this not on the OST?
Halo 3 outshines infinite in every way
What happened to this franchise...
It was sold to vandals
Halo 4 is my favorite halo game, but they did something wrong. They cast away the forerunners mystery, bringing them to life as yet another faction.
