Thank you for checking this out Original source song: • GTA V: Pause Menu / Ma... 10 Hour Version: • GTA 5 - Pause/Main Men... I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THE SONG OR IMAGERY THAT IS SHOWN. THIS IS ONLY FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES.
Thats why I think we should just appreciate this masterpiece and stop asking for a new GTA game. Rockstagames isnt what it used to be anymore, and the people who created this magnificent game arnt there. RIP GTA💔
this brings me back to 2013, one day after release, no gta online and i fell asleep during the story, when i woke up the pause menu was open and this beautiful music was playing!
@Veradux nah don’t actually say you think that gta online is the best multiplayer game. Without shark cards or a friend group always playing the game is boring as hell
I'll never forget the comment that described it best, "This song gives you a break from the game and shows you that underneath all the jokes and satire/parody there's a hidden dark mystery in the story." Can't remember exactly how it went.
I think I can try making a better one: “When you pause and hear this soundtrack going off, this illuminates the darkness and corruption humans use in there power to make it big”
A comment I saw made a very accurate assessment when they said that this piece really captures the true sadness behind the story of GTA V. When you look beyond all of the humor, the parody, the absurdity, and the over the top presentation of it, it really is a tragic story about the broken people living in a broken society.
its rad seeing younger dudes have the same experience with this pause music that I had with the GTA IV Ballad of Gay Tony pause music OST. Life is a cycle my brothers
Ballade of gay tony music takes me back i was living in a different country with no wifi haven’t experienced internet much. Only thing i had was the menu music when i fell asleep hahahaha crazy times.
Man, Winter 2013, GTAO was a mere two months old and a modder messages me on the in-game phone saying "merry Christmas dude" and gifts me £80,000,000. Bought the best apartment, the Adder and Entity XF...... all those years ago.
@@MACIEK_2303 Yeah, pure toxicity now. Has been for years ever since R* started to prioritise military stuff and flying bikes.... miss the old days when all you had to worry about was a stolen Laser.
I used to play this game a lot when I was a kid. But time passed, the first love, the first job in the profession, the wedding, the birth of a son. And now my son at 7 years old comes into my account, launches GTA 5 and this music starts playing in the menu. At that moment, I realized that I was no longer a kid and a new part of GTA had not yet been released...
My dad actually introduced me to the game,yes,my dad was a gamer.I remember playing this game on a ps3 while my dad was close surveying.I remember hearing this each time mom or grandma (she was living with us) called us to eat,and this would play close by , I also remember falling asleep to this song,or hearing this each time I paused to call my dad help with a mission,now he’s no longer in my country,he flew away to live in Florida,while I’m still here in Uzbekistan. Man I miss him,even thought it’s only half a year he flew away,it feels like half my life he was absent. (I actually started crying while writing this short comment)
I was 17 when this released and it’s crazy to think that even then just like we are now I was looking back ten years and thinking wow it’s been so long since all these games I grew up with released like gta vice city and San Andreas, ratchet and clank, jak and daxter, need for speed, atv off road fury, ssx tricky, crash bandicoot all these games I grew up with in the early 2000s are now over 20 years old… and this one will be eventually too and we’ll be looking back almost a decade on gta 6 and the cycle repeats
96 here too, I cannot fathom how quickly time went, still can remember receiving gta v for xbox 360 in mail and discovering map with Franklin for first time 🥲
Same here fella. Sept 2013, started my second year at college when this got released. Easier time, a more innocent time where I didn't have worries about life or the general rat race that goes on nowadays. I wanna go back 👍
@@bluraydisc-hd u missed out on everything the game don’t hit how it once did but all imma say is at least ur playing the biggest game of all time no game was touching gta 5 in it’s prime it was everything too come home from school and play all night now we’re grown and things changed I’m 18 btw
POV: You are in the late 2013 and the early 2014. And after dinner you’re gonna play GTA 5 on online with your friends or by yourself. Until late in the evening. 🙌🙌.
I wish i could go back to those times. I'm hyped a lot for GTA 6 but i know that what i'm looking for isn't a new GTA game. I miss my childhood, that's what i miss. I both remember the first i played Vice City and 5. That times we had no worries, no big responsibilities and we didn't used to feel alone. Thanks to Rockstar they made some games to make us remember our childhood and those good times. GTA series are big part of my and lots of people childhood. I know those times are not gonna come back but i'm glad it happened. Yes, gentlemen. It happened.
Man, I remember chilling with my boys on GTA back when we were 14 just messing about and having fun. My boy Liam, man, we used to run Fleeca back to back trynna grind money for the next update lmao. We got hella good at it; staying up till 5am talking about life, school and what's been going on then my other friends would hop in the party, too. The memories that one song can bring out is insane.
I remember staying up with a buddy, who i still never met irl, talking about life while mindless flying from one end of the map to the other in a Titan
I was 11 when this came out, and I was a very different person. I remember my Mom had still banned GTA in the house, but when GTA 5 came out, she finally let us play it. I was overjoyed and have never been happier in my life to see a bank robbery. I was so excited when the opening sequence began of Michael and Trevor, along with Brad in Ludendorff. I was literally ecstatic with my brother over it Now, I'm almost 20. I listened to this... and I'll admit, I teared up, I cried a little bit. Each day is more valuable than we think. Life moves fast, and if you don't stop and look around and admire what's around, you may just miss it. 💖
@@squeezesab1r922 I understand how you feel, but we aren't children anymore. We all have to grow up, and granted I'm not having kids, I honestly just hope Rockstar gives the children of those that do... the same fun memories they could have in GTA 6. That is, if Rockstar ever releases another game.
I remember I was in year 9 when GTA V came out. I played the game and finished it. Then, year 9 went by, year 10 went by, year 11 went by, I sat my GCSES, I got good grades, I got into a good college, learned the trade, started working, got my first proper job in the profession. Earned money, got married, moved out. Now I come full square back to this game. And the crazy thing is how fucking fast that went. Before I knew it, I was messing about, having fun in school to where I’m now. It’s mesmerising how time went so fast.
Listening to this is like losing a faith in humanity, thinking about the old days when things were simplier, and looking towards a void called "future"
god, i remember playing GTA V for countless hours with my friends on the 360. we played for years up until late 2018, one of our friends didn't want to spend any money on the xbox one, i added the other two but one of them just stopped playing and never got back on, and the other one i never speak to anymore. and a good portion of my other xbox friends just stopped playing on the 360, never going back online, their avatar still asleep, never to be awoken again. i speak to none of them anymore, and there were eight of us that were real close, and others that we only occasionally played with. i hope that all of them are doing amazing in life, as it's very likely i will never speak to them again
Well, we finally just got our first proper look at it, and wow, it’s insane, even more insane than any of us could ever have dreamed. GTA VI and its world and city will almost certainly be the most advanced, realistic, and revolutionary open world game to date when it releases, perhaps even the most advanced game of all time, there’s little to no question, GTA VI will obviously be crowned king, and will likely sit upon the throne for a long time.
This was the biggest game in the world when it released back then… I was only 11 years old, and I remember being as excited as everyone else here in the comments. I couldn’t get it for a little bit but eventually I got it when I was 12. The world of Grand Theft Auto V was amazing. I had an unimaginable amount of fun playing it as a curious and energetic kid. Me and my friends played online together, had fun with races, missions, role playing. As the years went on, we all continued playing, but the.. magic of GTA V was slowly fading, and before we knew it we were all on the verge of adulthood… we played a few more times, and suddenly one day.. we all stopped playing together. Yes, we keep in contact but.. we’re all now adults, with jobs, and futures. Every single one of us wishes we could go back in time to the days of playing old games like this, and not caring about making it to a job the next morning, or paying bills… But the memories.. they’re still pure.. and will last forever in our hearts. Hopefully one day when GTA 6 comes out we can all manage to sit down and play again.. like old times.
This track always reminds me of how small, insignificant and short are our lifes. 10 years already... My childhood just disappeared in one blink, and I'm sure i ll be in a comment section stating the same thing but for my entire life in 2 extra blinks...
Nothing can match GTA 5 online like 2013 did. No dlcs, no futuristic stuff, and everyone started out a low level (unless u hacked). The way people interacted, made money, hung out, I mean everything. It was awesome and in that time, GTA really did succeed in being the best Open world game ever.
I just love how everyone are nostalgic of this game but in our own ways. For me I will always remember the midnight release and sitting in the car ride home with my copy. For two years I had to wait. I followed every news source there ever was. All the hours I spent on forums, chats and youtube videos. Debunking screenshots, coming up with speculations and watching trailers literally frame by frame trying to see details or something interesting. I was totally engrossed between 2011-2013. And when I finally had my copy I just stared at it. Couldn't believe it was in my fucking hands.
I think this will be the last time I see the game GTA 5 because the announcement of the game GTA 6 is approaching. I cannot believe that this day will come, goodbye GTA 5
It is okay. We all age and we all are going to die sooner or later. That's kinda shitty, but that's how life goes. It's weird and beautiful at the same time if you think about it.
With a game so closely tied to Los Angeles I feel like this music provides an amazing dramatic contrast to the gameplay… reflecting on the crazy chaos of the city and that there are so many people there just trying to live their life and make it through.
@@SwissMarksman NEVER even thought of that!!! Perfect movie. Perfect game. Perfect comparison And fun fact: much of the details from the robberies in the game, were directly inspired from the movie Heat. So this comparison does make total sense
1. Boot up GTA Online. 2. Make a empty session. 3. Turn on this track. 4. Drive up to your nightclub. 5. Start any mission in there. 6. Expirience "The Ballad Of (Your Character Name Here)"
This game was my life from 2013-2016~ I loved it so much but unfortunately everyone I used to play with stopped playing it. I had a group of 10+ people and they all stopped. RIP
I remember the old days when I played GTA 5 at night, now I remember it and my soul becomes so warm. Thank you Trevor, Michael, Franklin for all the time I spent with you.
It was happening, we were having good times not knowing we were making great memories,remebering great times with my friends all driving around los santos in our favorite cars ,doing missions and helping each other back in 2018 ,its been 4 years I reinstall the game to play it again solo ,memories hit hard knowing they are offline years ago,today just stopped playing let my memories live in my head, wish everybody good luck in life who knows maybe we played together
Imma just say it…… I’m truly and surely imma miss this game and it won’t be the same anymore when gta 6 comes outs gta 5 will still be my top games that I played 🙌🏼
The story mode is far too peaceful than gta online. This music makes me remember the bad days and good days at the same time. I remember the afternoon when I played this game for the first time, the experience was unforgettable ❤️, I hope everyone have a wonderful day ahead.
As you listen , a feeling of longing or nostalgia awakens within you , and in that , your childhood memories are also emerging little by little , of people you already talked to and nowadays no longer speak to each other , of funny moments , in the times when you were happy and played GTA V for the first time, when nothing mattered but this game... time passes and we realize that nothing will be like before, this song also gives me the feeling that the happy side of life it's just an illusion, we're all going the same way... just from different perspectives... I miss this game and that magnificent soundtrack.
Stop man. The part about friends got me there. I had a load of friends years ago and we played this together. Sadly, GTA can be toxic if you're not careful and we all split up many years ago. I still miss them sometimes and wonder what they're doing nowadays.....
A master piece at its finest,GTA V will always have a place in my heart,from the race against Lamar in the Xbox 360,to the online multiplayer on the ps5,I seriously adore this game and I can’t wait for GTA VI,the new generation won’t understand the thrill to skip school acting sick just to secretly fire up the Xbox to continue where you left off yesterday
I have met my girlfriend 5 years ago. She was the sweetest person I've ever seen and what I most liked about her was how she included me in every little moment: basic shares, music, making food and especially playing video games. We decided to get GTA V because it would be cool to be in a "partners in crime" situation, what we didn't predict is that we would so much fun making heist strategies and theorize about its mysteries like the jetpack and big foot kind of thing. One day, she got a strong headache, she said it was fine and It was probably due to stress or something but 3 or 4 hours later she had a seizure and passed away at the hospital. I'm not going into details. This week I've opened GTA V again but now on story mode, I couldn't do it. I couldn't play it without crying I couldn't stop remembering about her. So I paused the game, staring blankly to the wall for 30 minutes or so. I love GTA V and I also love her, these exact reasons prevents me to open that game again. Thank you my love I just wish I could see you again.
Gta isnt only a game but a whole Nostalgia and the best experience ive seen in my life back in the days it was so fun.. untill the world has become depressed.. I just miss the fun i had😭
I was 5 years old when this was released. And I haven't even noticed it has been that long. I got this game when I was about 8 or 9 years old. The Main Menu OST gives me chills and makes me teared up. 2016-2017 was the best years of mine anyways. Sad/Happy at the same time to be 15 and now we're talking about GTA 6. Such a relaxing/sort of sad music I must say
Jesus… I was only 13 years old when GTA V released and you make me feel old haha, that’s insane, but I guess you being 15 now is no more crazy than me being 23 now. I was only just finishing grade 8 when this game released, and now I’m an adult trying to get my life together and make the most of my existence, but in so many ways I still feel like I’m not ready, like I’m still just that 13 year old kid, how quickly everything changed, it’s truly felt like these last 10 years have flown by.
I was 12 when this game came out and now I’m 22. I remember how the world went crazy over the GTA 5 release and how I put it in my Xbox 360 the first time ever. What a memories, those moments can be lost in time like tears in the rain. 10 years later I still have gta 5 on my Xbox one S, but it doesn’t feel the same anymore
Every time i hear this song it reminds of staying up until 3 in the morning hearing this song and the sundial click from going up and down on modifying a car or changing my outfit
Reading through these comments of peoples memories o playing this game with their buddies really makes me wish to know what it felt like to play this game back in the early days. But sadly I was far too young to play it then.
It was the best feeling u could imagine gta 5 in its prime was everything no game came close to the success of this game all u heard was gta 5 everyone doing rps Easter eggs myths
Father time took our childhoods away, but he will never take away our memories. Time is a beautiful, but destructive person. Without time, we cannot exist. Without time, we cannot change. Without time, the world cannot be. Cherish each and every living moment, because you never know when the hand of time will take it all away.
@@spoiltmilk he's right. the people that worked in and with rockstar on the whole gta5 project aren't even there anymore. game won't have the same feel, vibe, play, etc. but we all need change so maybe we can adapt to gta6
I cant stop listening to this on repeat. It’s just so chill, and really heals me. I love the idea of sitting somewhere on a balcony high up in the city, at night, watching the city while chilling with friends.
Makes me wanna go to some restaurant on 20+ floor and observe my city from the balcony in the late night while it’s chill weather outside and the winds slightly moves my t shirt and hair
man... i was 4 when gta came out. my parents were never strict and didnt believe in censoring me, so i played this game at that age... i honestly miss those days. the days when my parents loved each other, i wasnt homeless, i had no younger sibling to protect from all the trauma... and to think it can all be brought back by a single tune. i truly miss 2013... im 13 now, turning 14 on august 6th. my life sucks now, but at least i have dome amazing memories to cling to. love you rockstar games... even if you only care about money nowadays, you made my childhood so special.
This reminds me of when i was 9 the game just came out and my mom yelled out for dinner paused the game and you could hear this playing softly on the background while we were all eating what a beautifull time in my life
Thank you, Rockstar, for the beautiful past. I have not forgotten today. It was in 2017 when I started Grand Online. It was the happiest day of my life. I still play it and delve into it.
hits hard when its 4 in the monring and its a cold night and then u hit the pause menu then u lay down and just think about all them good old memories u had.. really hits hard now
I was 7 when GTA V came out. I used to watch it on YT. I was 13 when I started playing it myself, and yes I know I was a bit too young for that xD. But now that I'm about to turn 17 and everything in life is changing, I realize how nice it was to be a kid... Just no worries... And today? Today we have a pandemic, an inflation, and a fucking war... Listening to this masterpiece is partly exciting but also partly depressing... Listening to it in the evening or at night makes you rethink your whole life, as I am doing right now... (Edit: I think I know Los Santos better than my own city xD)
Same here. I remember my Dad bringing home the PS3 copy of Grand Theft Auto V. I was also seven when it was released. This song does bring at piece. I cannot believe that it has been ten years since the game released, and now we are moving into the Grand Theft Auto 6 era.
2013 to now: whole different game, different community, different play styles, different world. Quite insane how much the world changes in a decade and how one song just bundles it all together
