I got misty eyed when I saw the rain hitting the astronaut's visor as he looked up. Just my obsession with space and thinking "Water on Mars... finally."
Hearing these horns always makes me emotional. Especially now after the final shape. I lost two of my friends to suicide in April, we had been playing since the d1 beta and alpha together... This game has always been in the background of my life for nearly ten years now, through the good and the bad. Layla and Riley by my side taking on the forces of darkness. I'm gonna miss them
A full decade later. This song still makes me want to cry, remebering how much fun this was at age 14. And now I'm a 24 year old adult. I wonder how my original fireteam is doing. Hope they are all good.
I never got to experience destiny while they still updated it, and I only experienced it through a trial that I've beaten multiple times. D2 I've played for years. I'm was working on beating all campaigns, but I'm losing my skill. I explored some cosmodrome OOB and found a place that wasn't on the map. Were they in D1?
This song just perfectly incapsulates destiny’s story. The mystery of going to mars and finding The Traveler. The glory of the golden age. The terror of the darkness coming. The fall of the golden age and humanity. And finally the arrival of the ghosts and the rebirth of the guardians and along with them the hope for humanity to rise again and for a new golden age to begin. It doesn’t end as if humanity is victorious in an epic finale because that’s not how the game is we are the hope of humanity to rise once again and rebuild across the solar system. I just love it so fucking much, it makes me so emotional every time I hear it
@@stellamuune That's a Leitmotif which is associated with a specific character or something else. A Motif is just something that is present various time and not specifically attached to anything.
@@zerosugarpete5719 season of arrivals was such a banger season, beyond light is good but even though arrivals was much stronger, there was something thematically about arrivals i loved. It definitely felt much more grand than beyond light.
This theme always brings me to tears. The first multiplayer game I ever played. Home to the first friends I made after being relentlessly bullied and moved away from the few friends I had at 14. Opening the game and being treated with this amazing music accompanied by a fantastic cutscene, learning of the Traveler and the Darkness. So many memories come flooding back. I still play Destiny to this day and I will still play it til the day I die. Thank you Bungie.
I had a similar experience. I was 12 when the game first came out and my “friends” weren’t really friends. I made much better friends online and amazing memories thanks to this wonderful game. It’s unfortunate that the vibes that were once there, that mystery of the Destiny universe, is gone. Or at least, it has lost that magic that was once there…
every time I listen to this song, I think of all of the people I've met, just off of destiny alone, and all the fun times I've had in destiny. honestly if I could say I've felt euphoria from anything it would be shrooms, and the destiny soundtrack tbh
I met my closest friends back in destiny 1. Been best friends for 8 years now. We are going on our 3rd trip together. Truly the most magical game I’ve ever play. This music just reminds me of the great friendships I’ve made.
1:47 starts to give me the chills. Oh how I miss year 1 Edit: Over 3 years later and I came back to this song in an old playlist of mine. Still miss it just as much. RIP D1.
Enderpappy me to😢 I remember my friend was doing vault of glass I was confused about it 😢 i remember on mars in that junction I thought to myself what if just what if a legendary drops then it happens😢 I remember asking myself what's the black garden?😢I remember getting the sword on earth when the dark below came out😢 i remember doing iron banner and will of crota and phogoth 😢😢😢😢
I see so much hatred and vitriol in the destiny community, and I feel like we need to remember where we started. Why we love Destiny. Destiny today is greater than its ever been, despite what social media gremlins are saying. There will always be a love and a passion for this game. Everyone had that childlike sense of wonder at one point in their Destiny journey. It's a shame so many have forgotten about it.
Even as a solo player, I loved destiny from the very first moment. This moment here was the one that told me I'm going on an amazing space adventure. And that's exactly what it has been.
0:20 man... this really hits the nostalgia of D1. Venus, The Cosmodrome, my First Exotic (Bones of Eao), The Vault of Glass, The Fatebringer, The Prison of Elders, The Taken King, The Touch of Malice, Wrath of the Machine. D1 was far from perfect, but man do I miss it.
The first time you opened the game, and this is what greets you. You can feel it in your heart, even after 4 years. The Nostalgia, the Amazement, the Wonder.
Thank you so much, Marty O'Donnell, Michael Salvatori, C. Paul Johnson, and Paul McCartney. Flying to the Last City for the first time in Destiny 1 was absolutely epic and amazing.
There was nothing quite like coming home from school to play Year 1 Destiny with the boys or sitting alone in the dark in your bed playing this on your TV and listening to the Main Menu music and the Orbit theme.
@@MrCrunch808 and when everyone really enjoyed the game and felt part of a great, beautiful thing, part of a place where you could escape from your real life problems and be a Guardian...now this magic has vanished..
"The witness's first victims were once like you, struggling for survival, bolstered by hope, until their hopes became reality, they called it the gardener their deity of life"
I only started playing Destiny 2 seriously around before the launch of Lightfall and yet I still get chills from hearing this song or watching the opening cinematic again.
I was around 8 when I played this with my best friend, I cannot stress to you how many memories we had together playing destiny 1, I loved every second of it.
Never played this game before, but this track is truly magnificent. Particularly the ending: it made me cry :') For me it evokes an image similar to that of Yuna in Final Fantasy X when she performs "the sending", dancing with a long staff for a solemn purpose. Fabulous track from beginning to end!
Same. It was the first game I got when I bought my ps4 back in 2014 (I bought a Destiny Ps4) and I still remember the day when I first opened the game....The feels
I still remember the excitement when I was downloading the beta, I still remember when I bought the game on its release, I still remember all the good times I had with the friends I met in this game. Just remembering all the good moments and your friends slowly leaving one by one makes me wanna cry.
I know not everyone likes the first game but to me Destiny 1 will always be my favorite game second to halo 2 cuz I honestly had some of the best time of my life in this game from having the greatest music to playing strikes with my cousins! It was all amazing
Both games were made by Bungie, though they were two sides to the same studio.. since they sadly lost most of their employees from Halo’s development. Imagine how much greater Destiny 3’s soundtrack could be if Marty O Donell and Michael Salvatori reunite to make music. It would be great.
I was only nine years of age when I first played Destiny. It’s so hard to describe, I was instantly hooked by everything the game provided. The music, the atmosphere, the aesthetic, etc etc; everything was so beautiful. And now 9 and a half years later I am here, at nearly Eighteen years old, and it feels like an eternity has passed in not even a decade. Nearly ten years later I am here again, listening to the theme that took my breath away, reminiscing on the good old days of D1. The series could be in a much better place today, but despite all of the recent negativity (rest in peace Lance, May the light guide you wherever you are now) I still feel the spark that kept me here for so long. I still love what I loved then.
i played D1 and D2, and I think salvation is the best theme simply because of the absolute terror it provides, how an extremely simple motif can instill so much dread
I redownloaded destiny 2 after 3 years not playing it in hope that I could feel the nostalgia of destiny 1 after a couple videos recommended to me on yt but it just ain't the same as d1. I'd pay so much to go back to 2014 and relive those days as a younger me
Destiny just really changed the game. People can talk all the crap they want on it but the reality of it is the people that played the game just have so many good memories especially when you played with friends. My friends that I played with are busy with their lives with kids or just other things. I sure miss those times or just meeting new people because of the game.
to me, it's because this music was done before the game itself get done, this music belong too original Destiny, which never been release because Bungie decided to change its concept and turn it to be an ordinary alien shooting game. this music is too epic for a current Destiny game.
This music takes me way, way back, not even to Destiny's original release, but to the Beta before we even knew what this game was or was going to be :) For all of the franchise's ups and downs, the music is still incredible! And now that Bungie has cut ties with Activision, it's genuinely exciting to see where Destiny is headed next!
We don't talk enough about this game, okay you have to have bought all the DLC to enjoy it, but I'll never experience a co-op game as enjoyable as this one, especially the Raids. The community was for the most part kindly and serious, so everyone gave their best to complete each raid, and it was intense. The art design is absolutely magnificent, from the design of the armor and weapons to the flying motorcycles. The whole vibe and gameplay rules And the fact that it came out at the best time of my teenage years, I've never been so happy to come home from school to discover the new events of the day with my friend and meet up at the Tower. This game was truly special. I've never touched it since 2016, and it'll always be a fond memory of my adolescence, just as Minecraft was
Brother it’s the same with me , growing up with it and getting my first ps4 as a 10 year old with a destiny bundle in it . Till today a still play it even if destiny 2 is bad
We, as Guardians, have to stand together against the Darkness. Every Warlock, Titan and Hunter, needs to be the Sword, Shields and Bows of resistance if we want even a chance to survive. Wake up, Guardian. Time to fight.
The low end in all this d1 vanilla music is always looming and ominous, while everything else going on is kinda homey and comfortable most of the way through, the low end was kinda like the darkness looming in the background, that sense of mystery is just gone, and the answers we’ve been given are plain bad and underwhelming
