Eversong Woods - Music & Ambience - World of Warcraft 

As clear in retrospect as it is now, this zone, this music and this race's introduction, is without a doubt Blizzard's masterpiece.

i'll never get back that feeling, huge world, strange creatures, dangers in the shadows of the trees, looting stuff, going down to ghostlands, dead scar ... this game left a scar in my soul seriously...

" I need a target "

There is just something excruciatingly painful and incredibly emotional about reliving the memories of such a wonderful game and time of my life which I will never be able to experience again.

I want these times to come back.. getting older sucks 😭😭😭

i can still hear those mana wyrms dying.

Bal'a dash, malanore.

You people keep going on about your memories in Eversong Woods, but do you REMEMBER THE SUNWELL?

Holy shit, i can basicly feel the moment i was playing back in the time of 2008. being 11-12. Sitting there, playing on an old pc. Barely scratching out 30 fps on low settings. Music on 100% on an old trust headset. My dad comes into the room and ask if im having fun, and if i would like a glass of cola and some m&m's. One of the most happy periods in my life, and this music makes me re-live this exact moment. Now im sitting here, in my apartment. 25 years old, on a good pc playing WoW classic and all the m&m's and coke i could buy myself and eat it all. Still, nothing compares. Thanks Everness.

I need a target. I'm out of range. I can't cast that yet. I can't cast that yet. I'm out of range! *spin jump*

The words "I'm out of range" reverb in my head

My home in another life.

My first character's born here, so many memories...

I didn't play WoW when it released. I was in my senior year of college, so I was too busy studying, working a part time job at GameStop, and preparing for grad school overseas in Japan. But my roommate asked me if I could use my employee discount to pre-order and purchase the game, which I did as an early holiday gift for him in 2004. He played it on his laptop in the living room area while I studied in our room. But whenever I would pass through the living room to go to the bathroom, or stretch my legs, or make something to eat in the kitchen, I would hear the sweet melodies of this game. He was a great friend, that was a great time, and those were wonderful memories. I miss those days dearly, and oftentimes I wish I could go back and relive them. My life is good now, but those times were magical, and while I never really played WoW much, the music means so much to me. I can only imagine how hard and heavy the nostalgia is for people who associate such strong memories of playing the game with this incredible music. Their minds must be instantly transported to those virtual worlds. I love reading all these life stories of the fond memories people had discovering and playing WoW in those vanilla days and how this music brings back the richness of those experiences.

Does anyone else find themselves creating a new character just to feel this experience all over again? I still casually play WoW but I just feel like it’s for nostalgia reasons and it’ll never really be the same. I remember exactly where I was in my life when this came out it’s crazy how much has changed

Victory lies ahead.

So beautiful, the sound of foot on grass, the radiating sun-light, Elder springpaw attacking me, the recurring sound of "I can't attack that yet"...It's just too beautiful.

Beautiful and peaceful melody, but there is a feeling of something sinister and melancholic under it's surface.

I love this zone. It is peaceful, dreadful, filled with failure and hope all at the same time. A bittersweet.

I will NEVER regret those 100000000000 hours I played this game. I wish I could turn back time and be this young girl with her own computer with nothing but WoW on it and with my own little guild I had back then and LOOOOTS OF TIME. Those moments will never be lost!

I really wish I could wipe all my memories of wow so I could have that new player experience again. I've played for 10 years now and I wish I could go back.

By far the BEST starting zone music for any race in the game. Hearing this evokes so many feelings and memories... I'm a die hard Alliance player but they certainly got the aesthetic and soundtrack for blood elves right, because I was drawn in like a moth to a flame. How can anyone resist such resplendence?

There is a big contrast in the mood of music between the Blood Elves and the Night Elves. The Blood Elves' music sounds magical & mysterious, but there's also a sense of worry in the music considering their hunger for magic and their rivalry with the Scourge . However, the Night Elves music sounds more calming and graceful considering their strong connection with nature and their commitment to be healers (shown by their moonwells).

wish i could go back in true wow... those leveling, scareness of GOSTLAKE, and huge castels of stormwind city, flying dalaran, thoses BGs, ICCs .. trying hard not to cry

Nothing beats Eversong as a zone and Silvermoon as a city. That glowing aura all around you and deep beneath the surface you can feel it in you bones, the dark, sinister secrets that lie behind closed gates and high balconies. You feel that sense of awe and admiration for the beautiful home of the Elves but you are never entirely peaceful, a sense of uneasiness you can never really shake off. I warms and chills me to my very core every time I traverse Quel'Thalas.

music is such an important part of a game. Blizzard has always been very strong in that department.

Selama ashal'anore.

My Favorite leveling zone Can't forget my first Blood elf paladin in 2009 ,it was an amazing time

That Cello is so chilling. It feels majestic, yet so ominous and creepy, what a way to introduce someone to their starting zone

This zone will forever encapsulate my wow experience. It's a masterpiece through and through. What I wouldn't give to go back to those times where i made 10 blood elves just to inspect each class again and read all the new quests and items for the first time. This zone was where my journey truly began. My brother and I were sharing an account, both making paladins, me secretly mailing his hard earned gold to my level 10's so I could get weapon training... I miss it so much. These few words dont even scratch the surface. This music sends me into heartbreaking reminiscence. Thank you for the upload.

I find the blood elves themselves quite intriguing. Their glowing green eyes. Their long ears that can bend downward with emotion. Their affinity for magic. And lastly, their history. Their world is so wonderfully polarizing in both its beauty and decay. I remember just standing still in the middle of these woods, listening to the sound of what I thought to be magic reverberating through the air, a constant flow of life and energy. The golden light bathing everything in warmth and the curly, whimsical-looking tree branches lending even more character to the forest. Blasting my way through annoying scourge in the haunting sadness of the Dead Scar. I'll always miss this world. Edit 5/11/2020: Wow, I never thought this tidbit of prose would blow up the way it did. I truly appreciate all of the likes and comments, and I hope you are all doing well - or are finding the will to survive - right now despite this troublesome year. Unfortunately, while I do not forsee myself returning to WoW anytime soon, I still feel the same about all of my memories of playing so long ago. Being able to empathize with and relate to one another through sharing our thoughts like this is my absolute favorite thing about RU-vid, or the entire web, really. Thank you Everness, and everyone here who feels the same!

I remember playing WoW for the first time as a Blood Elf. My dad was already an expert, but wanted to level with me and teach me about the game. I had the music on all the time, and it facinated me. And leveling was the most fun. Thanks Dad for showing me this beautiful game.

I put this on to use as background music while writing a paper. Instead I'm scouring the comments and seeing all these positive/nostalgic notes. I'm really fighting the urge to click the WoW button on my taskbar, making a Blood Elf and just quest through it one more time

This ever autumn lands, the eerie, mystical and magical music... This cello... The lore, the people, the quests. Everything made me fall in love with the blood elves.

My very first character in WoW was a Bloodelf Rogue. That's a nostalgia that can't be undone. Had hundreds of hours of RP in this zone. Sitting at the shore at night, the full moon shining down on the sand, illuminating it in the purest of silvery glow. Just watching and listening to the tides of the ocean. Or visiting the Inn. Lounging on one of these divine, luxurious pillows. Letting the gentle flow and hovering of pots and magic sooth you. Watching other adventurers come and go... It really was more than just a game. An experience that sticks with you.

Without a doubt, the best zone in the game. The feeling, the atmosphere, the looming dangers, the thrill of the unknown. I want to go back ...

I get that nauseous feeling when I hear this. Like having a sudden trigger of someone you loved who has died. I used to dream of the music long after I gave up WoW. It's crazy how so much emotion can be tied up in a game. The Game.

this place feels like a second home

Maybe when we first played this game, we had a different view of the world, ourselves, and had different thoughts (even assurances) of where we'd be today, and maybe our expectations aren't what we wanted. But maybe when we experience this feeling of nostalgia - both how it reminds us of how happy we were then... and as we share our memories of a whismsical time, we realize we were happy together. Maybe we also forget that we had a slow of problems then that we got passed today. Maybe that shows our bond with one another, and this human connection shows that things really aren't so bad after all. Hello my fellow fans of the old days of WOW. Wherever you are, I wish you well, and want you to know if you're here sharing the moment with one another: things really are better than we give them credit to be. Best of luck to you, and be proud of yourself.

I remember my first time playing WoW; it was during the Lich King expansion. I created my first character, a Blood Elf Paladin, and instantly fell in love with the lore, visuals, and gameplay. But what was most enchanting was the boundless unknown of the world. I saw the whole world of Warcraft as Eversong Forests. So, when I finished all questlines at level 20 in the Blood Elf zones and stepped into the portal to the Eastern Kingdoms, I was stunned by the large scale of the continent. Every time I went to new locations, it felt like a miraculous, wonderful event. I'm thankful to Blizzard for creating this game. I will always love WoW, especially the Blood Elf storyline. These memories will warm my soul forever.

I love how at 20:12 you just see a player jumping around while recording this. It really gives that funny sense of how WoW is both fun and immersive with it's player-base and music soundtracks for each zone.

It was my brother that brought me into WoW. Still very young, i was not allowed to play for that long from my parents viewpoint, so i always used to take a seat next to my brother once everyone except us went sleeping, whispering, always asking questions, why use that spell, why farm this, why go there.. With his Belf mage called Frostbozz. This game was the very first thing we bonded over. Whenever i have got trouble falling asleep i click on this video. Takes me back to the days not knowing where going what doing while exploring. Almost every comment in this comment section is so damn relatable. Thank you for giving me a ride back in time..

Nobody ever quits world of warcraft. Only breaks

I remember getting a blue item as the final reward for questing to level 20 here. Man that was HUGE back in the day.

I wish I could have that feeling back, playing the first time wotlk, doin my first quests as a b11 Rouge, knowing I'll be one of the best later. Exploring every inch of this new world and enjoying the feeling you'll never get again in your life. This one time you visiting this world fo the first time. It was just amazing. I never talk about feelings, I just write this down, a little bit drunk and none of my friends or anyone would ever know. Just keep this for me. I wish all of you a good time and never forget how great a first time, no matter what about it is, can be. Live Every moment you get.

Call me a Sin'dorei enthusiast, but I only play as Blood elves. I leveled all playable Blood elf classes to level 110, and each time I leveled one of my Blood elves, I always enjoy the music of Eversong Woods! Especially the part that starts at 29:06 It so fit the Blood elves! A mix of beauty and sadness... May the eternal Sun guide the Sin'dorei people to even more prosperity!

the starting zone of blood elves..... I love this place.... the ambience a mixture of beauty, fascination, despair and sorrow..

It was March of 2007. After years of hesitation I finally decided to buy WoW and its first expansion: the Burning Crusade. First character I rolled was a blood elf hunter. Ah, such memories!

So blisseful yet melancholic. The music told the story of the elves that had fallen to addiction. They were beautiful on the outside, but decaying on the inside.

Running, clicking the space bar thinking it made me go faster... damn, WoW was my childhood dude. This haunting cello invokes feelings of melancholy and a yearning for simpler times...

When u need a party to kill the knucklerot in Ghostlands.

I really love the music in this zone...perfect for blood elves.

Dat 'cello. Seriously, the 'cello here is so unreal. The Feels

I've leveled countless Blood Elves but this area is where I turn the music to max and find myself just standing still listening to the magic remembering being in these exact spots almost 15 years ago...

"I NEED to target something first."

Warcraft is a universe. The different zones, cultures, stories about dark forces and hymns about heroic champion slaying dragons, evil kings, etc. Everything fits together in a way that it creates an enormous feeling about diving deep down in a universe every one ever dreamed about. It is awesome. And the day a WoW vanishes, there will die more than just a game is going to die. I think I can say that I am a bit worried about this day. I'm a bit ashamed about this, but I admit that I am going to cry on this day.

Anu belore dela'na A-sephah balla'na This is perhaps one of the most spectacular and mystical places in a fantasy game. Too much nostalgia for Burning Crusade.

Played this with my mom back to 2006 till 2008 as a kid :p, Damn those memories, makes me want to cry

I hit level 70 in like 14-16 days or something after release with my Blood Elf. I did not sleep much ... when I joined a level 70 dungeon group, team members were all shocked that the run could not begin, they were just standing there gasping for a good 5 minutes. It was all worth it just to hear the shock in their voices!

I'll never get that feeling of finally deciding to switch to Horde back in Cata, and picking the Blood Elf. The experience, the music, the way I felt back then, not a single care about what's going on in the real world. I miss this game so so much and the music team is just outstanding. (Which is honestly an understatement) R.I.P. to the old WoW days, I would give anything to feel the way I did when I first started. This music makes me wanna cry of happiness.

God....first walking to the orange trees afar...seeing the sky...curious of everything around me...ohh the magic was surreal...a vast adventure awaiting my touch...curiosity of the unknown...

If anyone has sheet music for any this please let me know. I was 12-13 when I was leveling a BE through these zones, my mother had passed away recently so hearing this music really takes me back to that time, and it's perfect because it really has that emotion of grief and mysteriousness in it, sometimes I go there and fish for an hour and think back to when I was a noob finding everything for the first time and the excitement of meeting people and questing with someone else for the first time. If you're out there Belysong I still remember you, I was Dominus.

I would sell my soul to live here tbh

Started playing WoW early WoTLK. First ever character was a Blood Elf.. This music and scenery hold more emotion to me than any real life event. Makes me cry of sadness and cheer in joy. Such emotions are beyond any game i've ever played. The experience was to die for and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love this.

My god, the Blood Elves... Such a brilliantly thought-through race addition. On the surface, they were just a sexy elf race to complement the Horde's more beastial race lineup. But they were so much more than that; their past is tragic, their future is defined by a desperate fight for a lost home and an addition to the very thing that destroyed them. It's no coincidence that their color scheme is gold, red and black. On the one hand, these are regal and glorious colors. But on the other hand, they are also the colors of death. Not the blues, whites and blacks of winter and Scourge, but the colors of Autumn, when everything shines brighter and stronger because time is running out and death is just over the horizon. One final breath before charging towards doom.

Whenever the melody of Lament of the Highborne starts playing, I get goosebumps. I was so excited when BC first came out

I was sooo young when I started playing WoW and one of my first characters was a blood elf. I remember hearing them say "Remember the Sun well, instead of Sunwell" and my first thought was, "WHY?! WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE SUN?" I wish I was a noob again

I like to mimic the cello with my voice.

I miss that place. I miss Silvermoon city.

As both a WoW nerd and a classical music nerd, I have to say this music is so phenomenally written. The cello melody sounds like it could be by Dvorak.

This music in tandem with the sunset time ... the red ambiance on the trees. It's so relaxing and so, so beautiful. So very melancholy.

Those bird sounds in the distance are so beautiful. I love the blood elves and their area so much.

So many good memories. Ahh 2013.. I miss the days when I had no idea what i was doing... back when everything was fresh. And new. And exciting

I was literally walking around these 3 zones 2 days ago. I was on a call with my buddy for 3 hours and i was reading the wow wiki tryna find out what happened to Quel'Thalas. Ghostlands, everong woods and Quel'Danas were all part of Quel'Thalas but everything changed when the death nation attacked. I even followed the dead scar all the way to the sunwell raid so he could see it. He played the original WC games but never WoW so he was familiar with the lore. Growing up in Africa, i never expected this game to have such an impact on my life and i dont have many people to share the nostalgia with, so when this video popped up, it hit all the right spots man

Isnt it fascinating how much Music can stick in our heads for so many years... I will always remember thie time when i first played in this zone. This is one of my favorite Themes (among others like Ashenvale forest or Nagrand) I swear even in another 18 years when i come back to listen to this i will remember those days

Guys it was too good that feeling of...just feeling so small in a huge whole world, the ambience, the cluelessness it was just so magical and wonderful man i swear. What a great fucking time of my life. I was about 9 yrs old when i started playing, i was just a kid and the effect of this game on me being a kid really brought that noob feeling to its fullest potential and i thought it was a big deal too to stay up until like 12 am playing this game and then when i went to sleep on the weekends i could not wait to wake up the next morning to play. This really did leave an imprint on my soul man. It's insane. I'll never forgot that feeling or those moments of finding out something new and just wondering what was next and thinking wow how will i ever reach level 80 let alone take on the Lich King when a group of five players all get decimated by knucklerot in the dead scar area lol . It was just so perfect, god bless this game. I have yet to have that feeling to this day or will i ever again? Who knows, i really hope so.

in 2020, i diagnosed with ocd and bipolar disorder. because of that, i couldnt get drivers licence, friends or job. from that day, my life gone worse day by day. my friends left me one by one. and in this situation, i realized something very critical for me; real life is shit and i dont want to live in that. i always find suicide stupid and scary but my thoughts drove me mad as the days pass. it was like im in a swamp; more i try to get out, more i sink in. all i did all day was lay on my bed and stare to our ceiling and try not to think. then i created my first blood elf rogue. from that day, my life turned upside down. i started to enjoy, and meet some other people. i leveled to lvl 90 with a random guy and he helped me every way he could. before, i didnt even want to wake up, but after i started playing wow, i started to sleep 6-7 hours just for i can play more wow. i athmosphere, ambiance, songs... as the days pass, i became more happy just because of playing it. as i said before; real life is shit, so i lived in azeroth instead :) i remember opening the window next to my computer while raining at 2 am just to simulate like im in the game ahahaha... today is 22 december 2021 and i stopped going to my doctor, i only get %30 percent of my medicines and my symptoms is minimum, nearly 0. i got a drivers license, so many friends, a job and a girlfriend. i dont care what blizzard do or think. this game saved a 21 year old guy's life. not only saved it, changed it. just because that i dont even cancel my subscription while im not in home. thank you blizzard. thank you for saving my life, making me happy once again.

My first ever character was a Nelf Druid, but after admiring the Blood Elves, i quickly made a Belf Warlock, and i will never regret it.. The music, the trees, the beasts, the dead scar, the silvermoon city, the quests, the background ambience, everything was perfect.

The Blood Elf music, man I remember the first time I heard the music. I remember clearly back in 2007 when I bought TBC against my friends' advice not to, since I had no high lvl character yet. I remember when I made my first belf and logged in, the colours, the sounds... It was Epic. I remember getting to the Dawning Lane (The road that leads through the Ruins of Silvermoon) and the music starts up hard and slaps me in the face. No music has really been able to do that to me in my mind.

When I first heard the music of Eversong, I initially thought it sounded beautiful, but with a certain nefarious tinge. I saw the Sin'dorei as inherently bad due to me being so young and just thinking that the Horde were the "bad guys". Now that I'm older, and know much more about the lore of the game, I realize. The tinge I hear in this beautiful music isn't a tinge of evil. It's a lamentation. It's beauty, but sadness. Regret. Longing. A desire for a time when they were known as Quel'dorei. A time before addiction. A time before scars. The Sin'dorei are my favorite race, now. Glory to the Sin'dorei.

I'll probably never find real world peace quite like what this Area and music brings me, it's beyond tranquil.

Listening to this made me dizzy from all the memories and nostalgia. I forgot about my entire day. My entire adult day filled with errands and work. To be honest, it's been 15 years, and I sometimes feel like Jack from the tv series Lost, in that flash forward scene, where he says: "Kate, we have to go back."

I met a friend of 12 years in this zone. He asked where I got my wolf pet from (edge of Silverpine Forest). We were 10 years old at the time. Good memories :)

-I will never forgot that moment when i was create my first char in WOW "rogue blood elf "and this song sounded when I ventured into my first missions. -"It was and is" a server with few players and you practically didn't see anyone, you rarely saw someone (to know where he was going and what he was going to do, but he only wished him the best)(And rarely talked to them,but I enjoyed those conversations While searching or completing the missions, I stopped occasionally to observe the surroundings, I could feel the sound of the birds, the river, the light wind that gently stirred the leaves of the trees and contemplated that calm atmosphere of mystical fantasy. autumnal forest -It brings back many memories that I will never live again :´(

I still come back to this from time to time to read the comments. It's the only way I can feel someone really understands what I feel when I read these comments.

nothing will ever bring back the feelings that this place gave me... rip

I lived in the US back then I still remember going into best buy and buying the expansion box. I took a day off work and installed it. Old wow installations took a long time, but i remember how my mage BE ran around the golden fields listening to that sad deep music. I wish i could get that moment, that afternoon again...

This is the music of my rebirth. After playing Night Elf since WoW started, I switched to Blood Elf when BC came out and never went back. More than a decade later, hearing the cello playing throughout this starting zone soothes my soul and brings back such sweet yet nostalgic memories. Thank you for the unforgettable adventure, my life-long blood elf friend.

My home. its been so long, i should return some day

I listen to this and watch it on my second monitor while 3D modeling and basically just creating a world in Unreal Engine. This is really inspiring and amazing! Reminds me of the good old days in Azeroth. Thanks @Everness

Hard to describe the feeling of this game's early days. Vanilla, BC, WOtLK. Just so good. No experience is meant to last forever, though. Eventually it just got repetitive and focused on boring raids hoping for epic loot. Wish I could wipe my brain and go back to vanilla WoW.

i am breathless when the cello sound starts

TBC Classic is calling me home..

I remember getting WoW when I was 12 after playing RuneScape for years. I joined right as burning crusade came out and I played around with so many different classes and races, mostly human and night elf. I remember seeing two blood elves who came to Elwynn Forest and sat in the clearing south of Goldshire. I’d never seen one before, and didn’t have Burning Crusade yet. I remember when I got it a few weeks later I rolled a mage I named Mageroyal and being so enthralled by Eversong Woods. It was unlike anything I’d ever seen in WoW, it felt so ethereal and beautiful to me. Nothing ever felt as magical to me in the game as that experience did.

Nothing calms me as this does. The landscape, the ambience and that goddamn harp. So impossibly beautiful.

Your gold is welcome here.

made part of my life as a child, moments that will never be back again. even if i go back to wow, it will never be the same...

So excited. My PC is coming in tomorrow. Haven’t played Wow in a few years. Gonna be playing TBC classic and leveling a blood elf priest. Literally my favorite questing zone. The music, the atmosphere, the quests. Ahhh…. I can’t wait.

As an alliance main since vanilla, I hate the draenei lvl zones and love the belf lvling zones. Back when DKs could still port to plaguelands I use to just head up to just outside silvermoon and sit on the rocks by the pond outside and just chill. I have also lvled many (MANY) belf alts just for fun to do eversong woods again and again. Such a beautiful zone and music.

Reminds me of when i first played wow. Blood elf hunter, I remember being in awe at everything. Good times
