Gustavo Santaolalla The Last of Us Main Theme 

His facial expressions are saying: “I created a masterpiece”

His facial expressions,priceless. A true artist.

Best game ever. Best soundtrack ever.

I'm so glad they chose to stick with this for the show, and that Gustavo is scoring the show as well.

impossible not to get chills

a beatiful song for a beatiful game

You can tell he's a real artist when he is almost crying to his own music. 2:45

The music fits the game so good. This guy is a genius!

Woman: Show me what those fingers can do... Gustavo:

You dont even realise how the soundtrack helps this game.. Incredible job !

This song has been stuck in my mind for 10 years, simply powerful

He doesn’t leads the music, the music leads him

I literally wouldn't mind if they used the same soundtrack in the last of us 2

I am glad I have Playstation

Does anyone else feel chills every time you hear this song???

The theme that you will always remember joel and ellie.

This game was great asf, but can you imagine how much pressure is on naughty dog to top the first one? It'll be hard but I hope the pull it off.

This game has honestly been an essential part in my life for the last 5 or so years, I remember when it came out and I thought it was just a average zombie game..well I ended up buying it and I started to play. At first I was like okay not bad, and then things happened and for me there was never not a single dull moment. I would play it after work at the restaurant with my food and just waiting to go home was the best feeling. I’d wait till late so that my father and step mother were asleep. I cried, I laughed, I wondered, and I got scared during this game and to me it helped me get away from what was going on at the house. Same way with all of the Uncharted games. I can say without a doubt that Naughty Dog is one of the not the best video game company there is. And it’s these games and honestly just The Last of Us as well on why I intend to stay with Sony

Ah alguien más se le eriza la piel cuando escucha este tema?

This game deserved GOTY every single year since it’s release.

Has to be one of the best themes for a game.. theres diaster , hope , relief , sadness , and joy and more all wrapped up just in the tunes. Fantastic game is matched with these sounds

The soundtrack is one of the biggest reasons why I love the game so much. Amazing work! Very amazed at how much time and effort Naughty Dog puts into their games!

The amount of emotion the man can provide through his instrument... It's priceless.

2:23 his facial expressions says it all One of the best OST ever made 💙

Orgullo argentino 🇦🇷

his expression though :') i love u man

Increíble que a este hombre le dijieron de niño que no tenía talento para tocar y mírenlo ahora, hizo de las mejores melodías del mundo

"If the lord would give me a second Chance, I would do it again." Youre still ma man joel✊

2:24 this part will give you ear-gasm

After so long, even after beating the last of us part 2 this song takes me back to not just the first game, but an entirely different time. A time where things were simple.

THE LAST OF US PART II IS COMING!!!! WHO'S EXCITED!!?? EDIT: Three years later...the game wasn't a steaming pile of crap in my eyes, but when the sequel is around 6/10 to an easily 10/10 first game, then it's a disappointment in my eyes :/

Just crying listening to it thinking about what happened to joel

This soundtrack creates the mood of the game, I love all this guy's work!

pueden ver como el señor Gustavo Santaolalla desaparece cuando empieza a interpretar las notas? eso es amor verdadero por la música y su instrumento musical... sinceramente se merece la palabra MAESTRO como lo dijo el presentador... genio!

Orgullo Argentino!! Grande Santaolalla

2:25 still gives me goosebumps

this man is a genius

you can tell he's into it he looks like he's making love to the beat

Listening to this while holding The Last of us Part 2 collectors edition in my hand. Waited 7 years for this... This game changed my whole life. It inspired me to be a developer. I moved away from my home country, my town. I left my friends, and my only love. I still curse myself to this day for it. Whether for better or worse, I shall see, but I can say with confidence that I wouldn't be the same person have I not played the game. It's not a game. It's an experience. An experience that transcends everything.

Still get shivers any time any version of this song plays. It's a masterpiece.

Ya ha pasado tiempo de esto, pero se nota el amor que tiene por la música, literalmente toca con el corazón, es por eso que la canción tiene la capacidad de transmitir sentimientos, me da tanta nostálgia y tristeza cada vez que la escucho, esa es la magia de la música, es una obra maestra, me siento felíz que este Maestro sea Argentino

The game is a true piece of art

Such an indescribable man! :') he's literally pouring his soul into that instrument.

If you ever feel dumb and useless just remember there's humans existing who disliked this true masterpiece Edit: This is future me and this comment wasn't supposed to offend anyone but I've grown to realize different people have different tastes and thats ok

I'm gonna buy the soundtrack to this game if it's available. Fucking awesome. It's the only game that brought a lump to my throat.

"Hmm let me get out my six string guitar" *Pulls out 80 stringed instrument*

Is this the same guy in TLOU2 in Jackson playing the banjo? Was it a reference?

Como se nota que la música de este juegazo tiene toques de folklore Argentino! Bendiciones Gustavo. Arg ❤

This is why I love RU-vid. Found this clip searching for TLoU main theme, now I can put a face to the genius. Unbelievable soundtrack, never has music enhanced a game so much, thank you Gustavo.

Still can't move on of what happened in the last of us 2

Damn man! Argentina must be so proud they have the best guitarist and footballer in the world 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

My experience with this game is probably pretty different from others. I actually never was much of a gamer. I was into them in my adolescence and youth years in the times of first Assassin's Creed series and early GTA series and many others. Then I actually got a bit bored of all of it and basically left gaming for good for almost a decade. But.. what I always was though (and still am) is a huge lover of both cinema and music. And speaking of music one of the countries whose music I totally fell in love with was ARGENTINA. So many great and fantastic artists I discovered from this country. Gustavo Cerati, Andres Calamaro, Leon Gieco, Charly Garcia, Gustavo Cordera, Mercedes Sosa, Astor Piazzolla and of course... Gustavo Santaolalla. I especially adore his work with cinema. He made some of my favourite movie soundtracks in films like The Motorcycle Diaries, Amores Perros, The Brokeback Mountain, Babel. I also would like to mention that my admiration for Argentina made me learn Spanish (cause, by the way, I'm from Russia). Sí, sí. Ahora puedo decir con orgullo que hablo castellano bastante bien y más que eso con el notable acento rioplatense. ¡Che, boludos! ¡Saludos a todos de este maravilloso país que es Argentina! Now coming back to the games my interest for this media started to rise again only quite recently. Because even with all my detachment to the world of videogames I couldn't just ignore them anymore because of how much they were talked about at so many levels. Not just in the terms of entertainment but in the terms of great storytelling and charachter developments. I realised that there are so many games nowadays that can offer a very cinematic experiences. And among those which were always mentioned at the first pages was, of course, ... The Last of Us. So, yeah, I finally bought me a PS4 and started emerging in the games world once again. I don't suppose I have to start telling now to everybody how much of a unforgettable experience it was for me playing TLOU. Everyone who went through it would know it instantly. However, what I'd like to point out here is how striked I was by the magnificent soundtrack which somehow sounded like a very familiar style to me. But I couldn't quite spot it at first why I feel that way. Then.. I found out who was the author of that piece of music and it instantly made all sense to me. Imagine what I felt though. One of my musical idols made the soundtrack for this game and I didn't even know about it initially. My love and appreciation for the creation of this game (which already was high, to say the least) grew even bigger. And also it made me a bit angry with myself for remaining so ignorant to the world of videogames for such a long time. A kind of failure of mine which I decided to start fixing in the near future. P.S. Sorry if It was too long. I tried to make it as short as possible to describe my journey. And sorry for possible mistakes in my English. I'm not native as I explained earlier.

Un argentino hiso el tema prinsipal de un juego que es casi una película,es un orgullo que sea argentino. Esto es arte

Damn, hope he will be still alive to create music for part 3. Without him, the game wouldn't be the same anymore. Wouldn't be so beautiful.

Impresionante... Luego me llaman friki porque me encantan los videojuegos, pero jugar a títulos como "THE LAST OF US" es como ver un peliculón super taquillera y encima eres el protagonista.

This melody gives goosebumps everytime❤

Where ever Joel and Sarah may be, they are hopefuly together again.

literally brings tears to my eyes, not even kidding. with the announcement of the second just, give me a minute

¡Argentina carajo! :´D

Un hombre de 40 años que por primera vez compra un PS y el juego con que vino fue The last of us, y lo hace llorar como niño en la presentación... Ese soy yo, esa es la energía del juego y gran parte es la canción

He's a damn genius

Why am i crying? :'(

Orgulloso de ser ARGENTINO

Its been 10 Years Life passes by soo quick! This is sad :(

To create such a beautifull song with just a 'little' guitar and minimal material. Really a genious at work!

I get goose bumps every time I listen to this!

such an amazing music...such an outstanding game! thanks for making this real!

Look how he feels the song. It's meaning. That's how we know someone made a work of art with their heart and soul.

The amount of Feels, Love, Passion and Emotions he puts in his music is incredible.

I was there and I Cried because it was amazing NS

Never played the game, still think it's one of the best games ever made...

Have goosebumps and tears in my eyes hearing this masterpiece. Every single time.

yeah i really hope that the second part is as good as the first

Genuinely the most beautiful piece of music that is ever come out in my life is this and it's still brings a tear to my eye to this very day

es increible lo lindo que es este tema, grande el maestro santaolalla

2023 ... tengo 28 años y esta serie me encanta!! se que quizas mi comentario se pierdra dentre de los miles , y espero verlo en algun mometo de mi vida cuando tengoa 54 años o aprox y recuerde la magnifica serie que mis ojos contemplaron " The Last of Us"

I just love this. He looks so... happy. To be playing this song. He feels the music in his bones. He knows it by heart. It's so beautiful watching him play. He's not only playing the instrument, he's using his body to convey the song's emotions. He's not playing the music, he's *feeling* it. It's just... amazing. I love it so much.

uno de los mejores compositores argentinos, un orgullo nacional ;´D

la cara Gustavo cuando esta tocando lo dice todo, se deja llevar por la musica y se le nota toda la pasión que le pone

9 yıl sonra bile bu kadar hoş gelmesi hala tüylerimi diken diken etmesi hayatım boyunca unutmayacağım bir dönüm noktası last of us herşeyiyle

Que capo loco! Un maestro!! Aguante Gustavo Santaolalla!!

Mi respeto maestro el mejor juego. Y el de todos

I love how passionate he is.

The weather is very cold, it's been eight years and I always come back here...

You gotta Love this Soundtrack. The Love Gustavo put into this. And not only into this Masterpeace I'm talking about all the Little sounds he put into the game when we have to play Stealthy or got into a Shooting. You know this Man is more than a Genius.

Orgullo nacional, canción 100% Argentina, Orgullo y feliz de ser Argentino.

0:00 ACT ONE intro to hook us into the world...0:48 the world has been taken over by nature 1:02 and bloodshed 1:23 people have to fight and hide to survive 1:48 but there is a bit of hope 2:02 ACT TWO Joel learning to protect this sign of hope and surviving continues 2:24 the love between father and daughter out of nowhere... Joel and Ellie realising that their bond is more of what humanity needs. 2:45 The lack of choice... the world tearing them apart. 2:58 ACT THREE when they reunite and embrace their bond 3:09 and fight to protect it... The whole experience. The whole story summed up through music.

I am so, glad they used this theme for the live action series.

Sé que existe gente para todo y respeto su opinión y todo pero lo que no lograré entender nunca es como a alguien no le puede gustar una maravilla como ésta

simply amazing, this is love in art, thats why this game became so successful

Suerte en la secuela capo :)

Argentina papá, esta canción se toca con el alma

Who after the release The Last of Us Part II?) June 2020.

I truly believe the last of us is the best game that will ever be made

IT WAS A SINGLE GUITAR ALL ALONG?!

Estoy orgulloso de ser argentino, por mas que nuestra economia sea horrible hay cosas que te hacen amar ser del lugar de donde sos, saludos... ❤🇦🇷❤

Me dan escalofríos pero de los buenos, que orgullo de que sea argentino.

I got chills and now im crying

His love for the music made him nut @3:41. I honestly really love that this guy composed the music for the game. Music brings about emotion and we can all say tlou is a game with a whole lot of emotion. I'm so glad he's composing for TLOU2!!!!

i just finished playing TLOU again and i completely forgot how good it was and i seriously hope there’s a third game the first and second had a lot of emotions and they really are the greatest games ever
