It's 2013 & you fell asleep on the GTA 5 pause menu whether you're after that nostalgic feel or simply just viewing this video. I think we can all agree that the GTA 5 pause menu music is something special.
I still love this theme even after 8 years. Rockstar did a perfect job with their music selection. I remember the times where I had assignments on school the next day and I would just end up sleeping to this at 3 AM.
You know a game has been re-released WAY too many times when the original release year of it is causing people to feel nostalgia over it before a new installment has even come out.
The weirdest is when you do this in online and you check the lobby just to find you are the only one left in the whole server…shits kinda spooky ngl haha
Although one day I will log out of GTA V for the last time, I will always take comfort knowing one thing... Los Santos will always live forever on in my memories, my mind, my heart, and my soul.
I started playing the game on it's launch day, 17th September 2013 . I pre ordered it for my PS3. I remember how mindfucked i was when i first played it. Literally everything about the game blew me away. I was 13 at the time (yeah i know, in 2013 i was 13 years old, pretty cool huh). And i had a knack for literally spending hours to read the Wikipedia page about the things i like. I did that for this game too. I remember reading every little detail into how this game was made. I still remember they i guess shot more than 100k pictures of Los Angeles and 40k+ videos just to recreate the beauty of the map. And they did that successfully. And after reading everything and playing the game for 1000 hours (no kidding), made up my mind that i want a job at Rockstar North (the specific Rockstar studio responsible for the development of the game for the most part) and i want to see my name in the end credits of GTA 6 (lol). When i got the game, at first i literally spent a month or two to just explore the game the map and everything and didn't do any missions. Then i wanted weapons money all that so i started playing the story. Fell in love with it. Franklin became my favourite. Also i remember logging onto GTA online the first day it launched, 1 October 2013 just 13 days after the release of the game. I didn't get the chance to play as everyone knows how fucked up the servers were that day. I played on 2nd or 3rd then. Made a hell lot of friends online. Summer of 2015 is my favourite that was the time i joined a wonderful crew and made a lot of friends. Our summer vacation was going on and we used to play for 24 hours! Then it got slow because most of the people shifted to next gen. I couldn't. I still have my PS3 and don't have a PS4. Today is 23 December 2021, 8 days after the servers went offline for PS3. And i logged on the game one last time to get the last glimpse of my character, cars, weapons, money (thank you all the modders), my character's stats, and the whole game in general before it you know got complicated and all the things because of which people don't like it today. Also i started playing on my laptop (shitty, but hey atleast i can play gta again) two or three months ago. Currently, the game is on in front of me and the pause menu is opened. I forgot about the fact that pause menu had a music. It suddenly started playing while i was doing something and paused the game for it. High dose of nostalgia hit me suddenly. And after 2 minutes, I'm here writing this comment. Thanks to all the readers who made it here and I hope you have a great day in GTA the next time you play :D
@@RageGamer15 back in 2013 when me and my brother first played it, we were so impressed about the graphics. We died so many times playing Prologue when cops started shouting. We didn’t know how to aim. And when online was released I played everyday. My first apartment and 10 car garage with adder, entity, inferno, zentorno. Time flies. Then suddenly a modders gave billions. So I just bought every single item
This is the sound of an era, a time no more, and the game is now a perfect reflection of that decade. All 4 original founders of Rockstar are gone after RD2, the ones who wrote everything from GTA 1, to San Andreas, to V, Bully, Manhunt, Max Payne, all of that - is no longer current and is being put to bed. This theme really hits hard 9 years later. Cherish your existence, be happy you got to be there for any of it because one day we’re here and the next we’re gone. I was in my senior year when this game dropped. I miss being young 💔
in 2013 if you got tired of this game you could go play black ops 2, mw3, black ops 1, or mw2. full lobbies. you could go on youtube and not get barraded with ads. you could still go on your phone and watch your favorite vines... 2010 - 2014 was just a different breed man...
@@Darkeff. yeah, i forgot battlefield. bf3 was my favorite game for a year or two. but its mainly multiplayer. since could go back and play elder scrolls the same way now, but i cant go back and play the same mw2.
This song makes me cry everytime I listen to it. This makes me think of the end of an era where life was so simple, remember to hug ur loved ones n tell them u love them.
The pause music of gta 5 and gta 4 and it’s episodes are just mesmerizing, soothing and bring back so much memories, i am literally having goosebumps now
Mannn, i remember i pre-ordered this game and played it the night of launch. It was my first semester in college. Chiefed and played for hours on end. Those days were so simple
It's 9 years later, 5:00 am for me. I'm listening to this while looking at my garden outside by the window. It reminds me of these times. I was little child back then. Now i am 14 years old and this hit me right in the feels. After reading other people comments, older than me, i am scared of my future, that it would be worse than it already is. Uhhhh...
@@LiterallyJacob same bro im 15 and here i am scared of the future ive seen the world change around me my past and my present rn is just a whole bunch of crazyness and i feel like when im an adult and in the future it will just get worse
@@zeconmierpad Yeah, that's weird but, world is changing so fast right know, that when i'm 14, i slowly understand what "boomers" are thinking. Yesterday Minecraft, Gta 5 on ps3, today Nft's, shitty games only made for money from children and tommorow maybe even world war.
@@LiterallyJacob yeah i just wish sometimes the world go back to how it used to be 5 years ago forever or just i wish the world wouldnt change so fast like its to much for me
This song makes me sad, but a happy kind of sad. It makes me remember my first time playing gta, dying so many times on simple missions, drive by's, running people over for the first time, buying my first car, beating the game for the first time, it all comes back to me. This game will forever have a special place in my heary
Can't believe 2013 was almost a decade ago, I have so many amazing memories from that year. I used to play this game everyday along with my brother who tragically passed away that year in a car accident. I was in shock for months & even stopped playing this game. Since then today is the day I heard this theme which brought back all the bittersweet memories. Wherever you are, hope you found peace bhai, love you ❤️
Reminds me of the first few days after I got GTA 5 for my Xbox 360 back in 2013, it reminds me of those afternoons after I got back from school, I used to start playing and at a certain point I had to pause the game to study, and I remember hearing this beautiful and relaxing music in the background. Time sure flies, I remember like if it was yesterday
2013, back when I was a kid and I’d play this game on ps3, also I played burnout paradise back then a lot as well. I had a certain feeling back then that I’ll unlikely experience again.
@@shnubdawg7730 u might be right RDR2 took 7 years and apparently pre production started late 2014 for GTA 6 so it'll take more time because they want it to be better than their last game 2024 or 2025 would make sense
Crazy this video is about to smash 100K, huge thank you to everyone who’s shared their nostalgia! Let me know if you’d like anymore of these, better quality of course!
Julian, Allen, Fabian, Kevin, and Zane. I doubt you'll ever see this, but thank you for such a memorable middle-high school experience. Hours and hours of this game after school when it first came out. Those memories, and many more fill my heart with a fondness and a warmness I've not felt since. and thank you, maker of the video to remind me I had these feelings and memories stored inside. I hope everyone is excelling in what they persue, and your days are filled with light and love. 🤘❤️
Funny enough it happened to me back in 2013 damn the theme is soo good I've always felt that this theme is so special something so nostalgic bout it and yet it's beautiful nice job rockstar...
Man I'd kill to be 16 again, no worries, worst thing in life at that time was school the next morning. Now look at me, 24 and the most f**ked up mess of a person. God this takes me back
I love this game and grew up in it I would it changed my life I grew up watching and playing this game for years and years and watching and feeling the chill and vibe of this music from the loading screen really helps me and makes me remember the good old days when I was younger playing and watching my cousin play it was very cool and the first time I got this game I was really happy and it felt so good getting the game and to all the people and other that watched the game and grew in this game are real brother and sisters I wish u all luck and have a great life Ik a lot of people will probably never see this comment or even think this existed but have a good life 2022 bye ✌️
tbh i feel like my life is just a mix of crazyness im only 15 and yet ive had so many experiences and a mix of old gen and new gen life hell once i was 9 my life started becoming the crazy mess it is today and i basically acted like i was 12 then and now that im 15 i feel like im slowly seeing the world change around me ah jeez man what i would give for a bf or gf or just any friends irl i literally have had none in my entire life so yeah i guess i am having deep thoughts about my life rn listening to this
And this is just the pause screen😅. There’s so many other iconic synth waves and music tracks throughout the game. Like for example flying ambience that plays every time your in a plane or helicopter. Truly iconic even through all the ups and downs. Love it or hate it this tron type music can sell me in any game. Thank you RU-vid algorithm🙏
This theme is everything, It makes me sad, But also happy remembering all the true fun memories of gta online/Gta Story mode, But also reminds me of that one day when this game is going to end, They almost released Gta 6 and my heart hurts so much, I know Gta 6 is going to be something new but imagine the future people checking the comments of this video and wondering how much us that wrote this grew up when reading this comments, Thank you Rockstar Games i really had so much fun.
Man I still remember playing this, paused the game to go eat and I come back to this masterpiece playing! I genuinely miss old school GTA 5 before all these flying bikes etc.
I remember getting GTA on release day for ps3. I played the rest of the day and even next morning a bit before I went to school. Heck, i even took it with me to show of my classmates that i now have GTA 5. Now, august 2022, we have come so far. Alot of new content, 3 generations of consoles and i like every era for its own. I still play it regularly but ps3 were the best cause party chat was'n a thing on ps3 so you could meet new friends. Miss y'all btw. I could cry but is shouldn't because i should smile that it happened. Thanks rockstar games. GTA was is a big part of my life, especially childhood. I will remember the countless hours i spent. Thanks for reading. Hope y'all have a wonderful day and enjoy the theme that hit me like a truck with nostalgia! 👋
My dad showed me this game when I was 7 and I've been playing it ever since. I cant wait for gta6 and ill probably be in my senior year by then but I will enjoy it the same way I enjoyed gta5. although people complain about how long it is taking for gta6 to release, I think that you need to give rockstar props for making a game that lasted a decade without people complaining and leaving the game. Just now this year I've noticed the game slowly and slowly lose the players including me... But this game still calls back to me every few months and I play the whole story from start to finish and play online with my friend's again and I think that is the reason this game is one of if not the best video game to ever release. Thank you Rockstar
bro im 21 and still into GTA, cant wait for GTA 6 but in the meantime GTA 5 is the main hub i go to for anything online GTA related. Love this game still and cannot wait for the next installation!!!!!
I remember every time I would finish gta 5 I always called my parents in my room to show them, now the fact that this game is 10 years old is crazy and just makes me cry and remember the simpler times we had one time.
I bought this game day 1 mid night release never saw so many people in a gamestop so hyped for a game since the halo reach midnight release I remember staying home the next day from school playing as Franklin just driving around and exploring the new Los Santos and Blaine County area then gta online came out and as cheesy as it sounds 2013-2019 were some of the best years of my life playing slasher, sumo, deathmatch, and even police rp with friends who are now strangers and strangers who are now friends thank you Rockstar for creating a game that made most of our late teen years wonderful
Man it was so simple back then. The good old days. I think that the early 00s all the way to 2015 were probably the pinochle of everything. We live in a shitshow nowdays… And I don’t know what exactly but this theme makes me sad because it brings a lot of memories about people and places that are long gone but never forgotten, about a world where you are free like a bird not knowing what the world has to offer you. These times will never comeback. So live your live to the fullest always! Because every moment becomes a memory of the past. 🙌🏼
I never fell asleep to it, but I remember pausing GTA 5 because my dad or grandma called me for dinner and once I finished eating, I walked back into my room just to hear this music.
GTA V, MW3, Black Ops 2, Battlefield 3 and 4, Minecraft. Man, so many games I played during that time... Just a clueless kid that's now attempting to find a job, barely reaching his 19th Bday. If only I knew that this is what growing up felt like, I would've wished to be a kid forever...
@@lamborgini86 I know I'm still a kid but I don't do or play the stuff I used to play back then. Lots of frienfs I don't even know where or how they are doing now (real friends too). That's why I feel depressed most of the time, since I thought those friendships and those times would last longer, but it didn't. I was always taught that growing up was good and feeling mature, I just feel depressed now, as if everything was straight up a lie. Edit: sorry about that rant, I just needed to get that off my chest
tbh, i never noticed the theme, until i finished the story and started exploring a bit more. when i heard it for the first time, it made me cry, such an incredible work theyve done choosing the soundtracks
Started playing on August 6th, 2014 on the almighty Xbox 360. I was 7 and in 1st grade at the time, going on 2nd grade, now I'm 16 and in highschool, still playing GTA 5 on the Xbox one, getting a series x soon after I get a job, getting hyped up for GTA 6 to come out. I can't wait to tell my kids about this game one day...❤
So crazy Gta V is about to be a decade old. Hopefully Rockstar will perfect Gta VI and maybe create a Red Dead 3. Gta IV and EFLC also have nostalgic pause menu ost
this song remembers me my childhood. i spend a lot of hours playing gta5 on my little ps3, Life was nice, fun, you didn't have to worry about anything… i miss that old times…🙁
I was born in the desert like town. But there were a lot of mountains. In my childhood we often went to the old museum on top of the hill and there was such a great view at sunset and this music brings me back to that atmosphere. I'll never forget it.
After finally completing grand theft auto V in 100% i cant feel happy The memories with michael franklin and trevor are will always in my heart Thanks rockstar. -a ordinary user in youtube
i loved GTA on my 360... Then it died I tried it on PC when it was free in 2020 and oh, oh boy have i made some memories since then. Completed the whole story 100% in 6 days ( i played 24/7 and no, I'm not kidding ) completed it once again, then i tried online, got kinda addicted and when the Casino Heist came out me and my friend were grinding 24/7 and after two weeks we both had 300 mil in our banks lol. Today i have over 980+ hours on GTA and i enjoyed every single second of the game. Such a masterpiece.
The memories I’ve made on this game with my friends the way this game got me through tough times, I’ll never forget about online on 360. Imo this is one of the best games ever created
September 17th, 2013. I was 11, and had really high hopes for Gta V. I had classes in the afternoon, so I had to play during the night (most of the times it was after 11 p.m, cause my parents would take the game away if they saw me playing it). I fell asleep a couple of times, and this beautiful piece was playing almost in every one of them. Man, how I wish I could go back in time to relieve it all. The moment I finished the story, it was one of those moments that i just felt fulfilled. And then came the online… way before the craziness of flying futuristic cars, countless hours went by… When I come across a video like this that makes me reminisce, I actually feel great, cause I know i enjoyed this game a lot. I’m 20 now, on my second year of network engineering. But the 11 yo kid in me will never forget what this game meant.
I was just a freshman in 2013 when GTA V just launched Now I'm being patient waiting for GTA 6 whenever that time may be But sadly I don't have time to game when I'm working 50 hrs and up per week Swing shift
Crazy that it's gonna be 10 years next year, doesn't feel like it but at the same time it does. I'm not an online type of player, so I was kinda let down, but it doesn't matter how disappointed I was with how gta v turned out in the future, no game, and probably nothing, will ever hype me up like waiting for gta v release and those first days playing it, that was something else.
it's so nostalgically, now goosebumps are covering all of my body... I can't convey my feelings through words... I just like listening to it like an ambient sounds while studying, it's like a retrowave... dreams of the unfulfilled future
It’s so funny to me that the announcement tweet for GTA V didn’t even crack over 1K likes. 10 years later and people are still playing it and this game means so much to so many people
I remember I played GTA Online at night with a guy from Spain, we were doing these cars stealing missions and I suddenly fell asleep and we never played together again
Wow, so many memories flooding back to me right now... Very important game during my time at college & with certain people. Remember the first few weeks of excitement upon launch, the first few times online with college friends, the radio stations & specific songs I'd listen to, as well as all the repeatedly failing heists with close people in a lan-party type set up. We even studied the game in college at one point!
Hi, I'm from Italy. I remember the moments when I played GTA 5 on the PS3 and sometimes paused to listen to his music. I had totally forgotten it until, watching a video of an Italian youtuber, this one had set that music as background. Just think, the video was about the closing of the GTA Online servers on PS3 and XboX360 and many in the comments of that video had written: "You have chosen the best song to represent this moment". *nostalgia*
i was in the hospital the day it released and of course i preordered it on ps3...my grandmother went and got the game and brought it to me in the hospital....i am a hyper conscious being so i can relive moments from my life up to the moment i became concious...it does not feel that long ago and can go back to when it released, but I've grown.. time in my head has not passed but i have grown....to look back at a moment in time that will never be again....when gta 6 releases there will be a whole new generation of kids who will experience what we have with this game...let us leave them to enjoy they moment in time, they will someday look back and reminisce
This is the PS3 Version Pause Music i feel the pain i played it for the last time online december 16 of 2021 I miss the old days Without shitty fucking oppressors Flying bikes.
Thank you 🙏. Someone mentioned TBoGT’s pause theme. I feel like that one has so much history behind it for me along with being a better theme imo. Both come really close basically being equal but the amount of nostalgia and love I have for TBoGT is unrivaled. I love both games and these themes remind me so much of memories I wish I could go back to and wish I cherished more back then.
From playing GTA at 13 years old when it released to playing it at 18 and finally last year again at 21. The game is such a masterpiece. Its like my mind was meant to catch different things at different ages. I never get tired of this game. Just being a part of the community that still supports this game til this day I know we are all gonna lose our shit once GTA 6 is released. Imagine how long we'll be able to grow with that game as well.
It’s gonna sucks starting over from level 1 😭 in a new world . Dear Gta 6. Please don’t bring them oppressors to the next installment lol . Other than that we’ll all be sad cause we’re loosing the empires we built but we will build once more on a new generation of a game we’ve all come to love
I had GTA V for PS3 when I turned 7, when my older brother and I played, our mind exploded, from 8 years onwards many things have changed, in 2015 I had a new brother, several relatives died, I will enter the high school (10th Grade), my country went to war, in 2-3 years I'll finish school and maybe I'll go to college... I already have a promise, I will buy GTA 6 on pre-order! See you in GTA 6 brothers, I believe we will all have successful lives
