030 Great Canyon (PMD Blue Rescue Team OST) 

definetlly one of the best themes in the game, if not in the whole pokemon franchise

I am fully convinced that the Cacturne in here are dancing to this theme in their idle animation.

As a proud native american, i can absolutely say this sounds like something youd hear in like a documentary or transitional scene in a movie about us

I can't believe I completely overlooked this song. It's one of the best in the series(:

I cant believe this game is 10 years old... i remember getting this game for christmas like it was yesterday :( Where has the time gone?

This is literally one of the best pokemon themes ever created. The nostalgia it brings, man this was unbelievable

This is so fucking atmospheric

Witness it.... The sinking of the sun... ... Lightning, why are you tickling me?

Friend: I have two flight tickets for us two! Where do you want to go? Me: Great Canyon! Friend: Don't you mean *Grand* Can-- *slaps friend* Me: I said *GREAT CANYON!*

Brings back memories :)

Freedom, peace, and war, Our fathers lived through once before, Freedom, peace of mind, One dream to live for all mankind. Our lives sing the song, destiny goes on, Light for the ones astray, Those who have lost the way. Our lives come to be, truth and mystery, Fools that we now believe, And lies we were meant to see. Ho, oh, miracle, Lessons learned and lives retold, Ho, oh, tales of old, It’s how we live by what we know. The tale never dies, legend, it abides, Fears that we come to know, Sorrows we ignore. Dispelled, trapped in time, power in its prime, One who has paid the price, The final sacrifice. Ho, oh, ebb and flow, Time will tell if all will hold. Ho, oh, tears of woe, Our time is here before we know. Our foes fill the sky, darker than meets the eye, Watching until the dawn, And from the light, withdrawn. They wait for the sign, dawn of the coming time Power sustains their greed for only the one they need. Ho, oh, miracle Stars in darkness shine and glow, Ho, oh, golden moon, light the way through dark and gloom! We stand on the spire, sheltered from the fire. Timing is all we need for efforts to all succeed. A beast to be slain, fighting to end the reign, Sorrow for what’s been done, we stand, in the end, as one. Lay low, wait and grow, Seeds of strength to reap and sew. Lay low, keep ahold, Await the day of fate untold. Our call is our key, greatest mystery Legends we call our friends and foes to make amends. The waves in the sea, sound and majesty, Prayers to beckon the lord through him, all is restored. Freedom, each their own, Perched upon the silver throne. Freedom from the grave, This is how the Hero lived. The last is the first, breaking through the curse Holes open in the sky, We watch, and we wonder why. The last turns to dust, words without the trust, Futile is our attempt To turn and reverse the past. Ho, oh, run away, Seek the victory to repay. See, now, how we’ve known in the end, we are alone. From the silver resitance fanfic by Scytherider

Just found my DS yesterday after the best part of 7/8 years (I got it in about 2011 and played it for a good few years but then misplaced it). First thing I did was load up this. I'm not even a huge Pokémon fan, and this is the only Pokémon game I've ever played, but I was crying yesterday when I heard all of the old OSTs as I played through the dungeons, particularly this one. I'm so glad I found my DS and the track here on RU-vid. It reminds me of simpler times, when things were seemingly easier for everyone and we were all just in for the journey. If anyone sees this, I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do :)

Agh, my favorite. I remember coming into this dungeon when replaying the game not too long ago and trying to make it last as long as possible, haha. I kinda like the whole feel of it; like you're travelling to get answers about something, and you're not sure what's gonna happen, cause these answers could be a big deal, and stuff, y'know? Yeah.

Oh the memories. I wish I was a little kid again, laying on my bed under the covers with hot chocolate and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue.

Great Canyon fucking slaps!

This is my favourite PMD song, if not Pokémon as a whole. Always love listening to it and last night it randomly appeared in my dream so had to listen to it awake as well :)

This soundtrack never fails to put a smile on my face😊

I have been listening to this track for years and only now I noticed that every 4th beat is missing. Now I can't unhear it.

Over 10 years now. damn

I can't wait to hear this remastered.

Every one of these songs tells a story, and I love it

no dislikes, like it should be

One of the best themes in the game. I still remember my nervousness and slight disappointment when I visited this dungeon for the first time. I feared that everything would be answered once I talked to Xatu and I didn't want this game to end so soon. And I also thought that there had to be so much more dungeons - so there's no way that this would be the last one. Thankfully, I was right. As for my nervousness, I was afraid that things would spiral out of control after whatever Xatu would have to say. So yeah, I was slightly disappointed, fearing that this game would end soon, hopeful because I knew from various articles about this game that there were much more dungeons and nervous because I was somewhat afraid of whatever Xatu might know. Those things combined made my first exploration of this dungeon unforgettable.

The Pokémon Xatu is related to a Native American worship totem

i got this game on 12/18/2006 and i still have it and i love it. listing to it brings back memories. ( i play PKMN FR and emerald alot

Thirteen years and i still get goosebumps from this soundtrack

I'm a percussionist so the second I heard this song 4 years ago was like love at first sight

Whenever I accidentally look into the sun for too long, I think of Xatu. That's not even a thing from PMD specifically, it's just a Xatu quirk, but this music just made me think of it

I loved this song as a kid.

It's so good it doesn't even have a dislike

This song used to haunt me as a kid... goes to show what good game music can be!

It always causes me shivering, while listening to this track

One of the coolest things I ever got to experience in my life was playing this game when my family moved across the United States. Around the time I got to this part of the game, we were driving through Arizona and New Mexico, and we got to see a lot of Native American cultural landmarks and areas that were important to their heritage. Every time I hear this theme I think back to everything I saw and learned and I can't really think of a more fitting piece of music.

glad it got put in PSMD and they didn't alter it completely..

I LOVE THIS SONG SU MUCH When I found out my brother got rid our pokemon blue rescue team game I immediately searched for this

REMAKE IS COMING BOIIIIIS

Looking forward to a new remix of this in the coming remake, this is my jam

700 likes 0 Dislikes? that's incredible. Love coming back here and reading all the comments :)

Can't wait for the remake. It's been too long. Also you're right, this is more Chinese-sounding than anything.

This and Sky Tower are my favorite themes of all time for the Pokémon mystery dungeon games.

These games have amazing soundtracks! Especially mystery dungeon Explorer of Sky!

I agree whole-heartedly Adam, they are both amazing, bewildering pieces of music. Run Away makes me cry every time I hear it, while Great Canyon leaves me mystified. Truly beautiful works of art

...my..childhood...

i've just purchased DX so i can relive this nostalgia moment again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

soo glad i'm not the only one who loves this theme!! I've had it stuck in my head every now and then, brings back good memories!!

The thrill, the joy, the unexpected and the epic music makes this game an adventure like no other.

Absolutely inspired by "The Ecstacy of Gold" by Ennio Morricone. It might have been me, but nobody else on RU-vid ever mentioned this reference anywhere for years.

Run away and Great Canyon are the best sound tracks in any game for me, so many memories...

The fire will never die

Me doing a fancy dance after the pmd remake was announced

Easily one of my favourite pieces of music in this game, I would sit there for hours, my pokemon hoping up and down pointlessly while I just closed my eyes and smiled.

It's got a Native American feel to it. Fits Xatu perfectly.

Remember the first time entering the place and finding it impossible, then finishing the main game and the dungeon is a piece of cake

Oh man I'd forgotten how kickass PMD1 songs were.

The most surprising thing to my was the word canyon i didnt know that this word existed and is so similar to "cañon" in spanish that can have the same meaning and is like see a little bit forgive part of history.

I remember the absolute amazement I had seeing the great canyon in this game as a kid Almost 15 years later living in arizona I put this song on driving into Sedona for the first time with my gf and almost burst into tears watching the sun set over the red rocks as the nostalgia came flooding back.

What a journey it was.

Remake bois!!

im excited for the remake of this in the new games!

I'm sure anyone who played and loved this game like me can agree when I say this is the very meaning of nostalgia

This is a masterpiece.

how the hell could SIX people dislike this epicness?

I think I have a thing for suspense tracks (hence my name) x-p

@DahPianoNut I love this song too, so much in fact I've written a piano duet for it, but just haven't gotten around to uploading it to RU-vid yet (it's on my Ninsheetmusic submissions page though).

only played pmu and this song plays in dynamo sands! it really just works

Me: m8 listen to this video game ost Friend: ok Friend listens Me: so what do you think Friend: it was beautiful what was it from Me: Pokemon mystery dungeon red and blue Friend: ..................isn't Pokemon for kids Me: *wants to die even more*

I love this music! It's one of my favorite pieces in the game!

Love how this song kept returning ❤

It has a native American vibe

Tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle

I remember dying so many times here. That's why I remember this song. An because its so awesome :3

My most favorite song of all the mystery dungeon games

I live in the soutbwestern US desert and seriously this theme pops up in my head all the time

The second I heard Sand Dune of Spirits in PSMD, I realized it sounded familiar. So what's a better theme to check than Great Canyon's, where you do the same thing storywise? And they're obviously the same. I just knew it!

You hit the nail the head. Thank you. (Definitely the percussion and pitch bends, for sure.)

Pokémon mystery dungeon music is the best music in the whole franchise period.

Oh! It's because when you get to the Hill of the Ancients, the partner Pokemon tickles Xatu to see if he's awake... I love this game, it's so inspiring beyond words.

OH. SAND DUNE OF SPIRITS!

The underrated and, also, fantastic theme of “Great canyon” 🌵 ❤️

still my favorite PMD song :D

Video 4566 of commenting #BringBackDislikes on every unique video I watch in 2022. Don’t dislike this video.

I have been thinking about this song for like 10 years now and I just realised I can probably find it now that I am older and know English

@CrimsonDragon298 I just tried doing that myself. It's hard! XD I suggest trying 2 keysrokes per beat (on each eighth note). The song is in 3/4 time, so that would mean 6 keystrokes per measure.

tfw you realize tail whip and fucking tackle (linked) carried you through the game... *stretijy*

The best mistake ive made in my life so far was thinking it was a "classic" pokémon game when i asked my parents to buy it with my birthday money. I was so young when i played it, it was like 2005 or 2006, and all the music themes are stuck in my head since. Absolute video game gem. I still have the same gameboy cardridge for over 16 years being in the slot of my GBA, and it never left it since i first plugged it in. I just cannot describe how this game changed my life over the course of the years, it had me buying every new PMD games after this one, even if the new ones doesn't really tastes the same (except for sky explorers). This specific song and the sky tower one are stuck in my head until i die, due to how magnificient they are, and how much i struggled finishing theses specific dungeons as a kid. Both have a fatalist melody, as with some hope at the end of the tunnel in their notes, depicting perfectly the game's story plot and catching the emotions you could feel climbing the dungeon, knowing what you are going to find up there. Thanks for everything.

its been years since ive played this game, and at least once a month i think of this theme

I don’t know why, but I got major flashbacks to this music after reaching the place with the ghost type gym in Pokemon shield(I’m bad at remembering names). God, I miss this game... I need to play it again!

both. I loved this theme forever, stil do.

One of my favourite ost songs of all time!

I remember all the donphan you could find in the canyon.

This was my first Mystery Dungeon game I ever got. I remember getting a used version of this from Gamestop, and the data was never erased! So whoever had the game before me got ALL of the legendaries! XD

One of my favourites in the game :3

This dungeon is what made me (totodile) terrified of Cacturnes

I knew it... This is the same song played in Sand Dune of Spirits. The Blue/Red Rescue Team styled music cannot fool me

Our lives sing the song, legend it goes on...

Feel sounds like a china town or japan town

What i find too bad is that they got rid of 'Regular attack' (when you press a) Because it was my main offensive option vs regular pokemons. And pokemon's IQs but that's secondary.

This and Fugitives (run away) have to be some of the best game soundtrack masterpices I have ever heard. Thanks so much for uploading these :D
