Opera Singer Reacts: Distant Nebula (Vocal) || Stellaris ost 

Average Stellaris run: Year 2200: "Im ready to make a friendly galactic empire and lead the galactic community to peace and properity" Year 2250: "What do you mean you are hostile!? Your Empire was the one that build infront of MY frontier" Year 2300: "You goddamn Xenos! Stay away from my lawn!" Year 2350: [3 Empires destroyed later] "This is what happends when you step in my lawn!" Year 2400: [The Federation has declared war against us] You got it all wrong Xeno. Im not trapped in this Galaxy with you... [Research Existential Threat Level 5] You are trapped in with me!"

"Faster Than Light" is an ever greater song from my point of view

One thing for sure, Stellaris' OST really go well with study/working sessions

Stellaris has a phenomenal OST. Andreas Waldetoft has magnificent talent. The Hearts of Iron games also have great music by him…. Similar type of strategy, but set during WWII. Highly recommend both as I listen to them regularly during work.

Stellaris OST insanely reflects the aesthetics of the game. Progress, exploration, discovery, transformation. The world is so incredibly big, but with every technology/new planet colonization/megaproject done, it becomes smaller.

Stellaris is an amazing game. It’s a 4X. It’s a little tricky to learn at first but it’s so fun once you learn how to play. You can play how almost any way you want. You build your own empire and set out across the stars to expand your empire. You can either help the galaxy, rule it, or destroy.

"Synthetic god" is probably my favorite song from this game. I always crank up the volume for it.

I gotta say... I didn't expect this game to show up on your channel But I'm glad it did I'm sorry for my long comment but I gotta share my experience with this game. So first of all. I always loved space. The endless nothingness in which there are so many beautiful things you can see and explore. And because of that I instantly fell in love with this game. Although it was a rough journey to actually learn how to play it I enjoyed every single second of it. This game provides so many tools of creating your own perfect civilization that you can bring to glory among the stars. Also it has this wonderful system of exploration. In some systems of starts you will find secrets and if you explore them more you can read through mini story of your scientists figuring it out. It maybe some ancient temple or an weird object flying in space. There are so many of these mini stories are in this game that it basically becomes a book about your empire and scientists exploring the unknown. And I love it. ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH IT. Also while expanding your civilization, researching new technologies, expanding your cosmic fleet and overall influence on the galaxy you will at some point reach a level of power when your civilization will be able to create MEGASTRUCTURES. It is exactly what it sounds like. Massive structures that will provide MASSIVE impact on the game. And one of them is the Dyson Sphere. A massive structure that surrounds a Star and is capable of creating an incredible amount of energy. The means to build this massive machine are just absurd when you are only a beginner at this game. You look at the cost and you start to sweat. And it takes literally YEARS to create it and multiple stages until it's fully operational. And once you do manage to build this Megastructure..... Oh... The first time you do it is just mind blowing. You look at this magnificent creation that defies all logic and you feel this wonderful feeling of accomplishment... Yeah... I love this game and I'm glad that you gave a listen to it. It has a beautiful soundtrack indeed. Obviously at some point this feeling of wonder kind of disappears As you get more better at the game some things that were just insane for you become more manageable. But still The incredible feeling of exploring the wonders of the universe never truly leaves you At least for me Thank you for your time) Have a blessed day

You should listen to Faster than Light from Stellaris as well. I really love that song a lot

Cheer for the one who recommended Stellaris soundtracks. This melody is the Stellaris main theme. Creation & Beyond, Deep Space Travels, all share the same melody.

There was one point I love when talking about music in Stellaris and Paradox interactive games: the game always plays the correct music at the correct time, not necessary the best music or the most original music I have ever heard, but the correct one. In early game from Stellaris they play music that is deep and mysterious, and changes to battle games in late games fighting dangerous aliens. In other games, like CK3 or HOI4, you can hear music from different countries depends on which of them you are playing or fighting. My favorite piece of Stellaris music is from the Aquatics DLC, when they actually covered a ship song and made it into the game, with muscular dolphin singing in their MV. That's the moment I found the game not only presented a map for us to fill with color, but also performed a space opera for us to read.

I've been following you for a little more than a month now and I'm delighted by your recent choices of music to listen to! The entirety of the Stellaris OST is simply spectacular ranging from calm and relaxed to high tempo beats and action packed rhythm and there a lot more magnificent pieces to listen to. One I wholeheartedly recommend is the two soundtracks called Creation and Beyond and Faster than Light. In my opinion it captures the entire essence of what this game represents, which honestly you also nailed once more! Thank you for your input and wonderful deconstructions all these months!

I love that Stellaris has made it on to the channel, I've got hundreds of hours invested in this game and the soundtrack is just stunning. Would strongly recommend Faster Than Light.

Stellaris is quite a deep tactical game which is quite the investment to learn but everything about it is beautiful specially the music. Faster than light with vocals is amazing too

You should play Stellaris sometime, game is extremely relaxed and can be paced as quickly or slowly as you'd like, so you can focus on the beautiful OST meanwhile!

Thank you very much for covering stellaris, this songs tries to tell us that the universe is vast but yet it feels so empty at the same time.

Andreas Waldetoft is a great composer who has composed for Paradox on their major games. From Sci-fi with Stellaris to Renaissance music with Europa Universalis to Medieval folk with Crusader Kings.

Faster than Light is an incredible song with incredible vocals from the same game, I pray you check it out as well!

It amazes me to watch you delve into so many amazing OSTs from wide variety of different games that I also find exceptional at making great music. Please continue this trend! (also Kevin Penkin - Made in Abyss OSTs are wild, atmospheric, emotional and breathtaking. Highly recommended, especially these tracks: "Hanezeve Caradhina", "Pathway", "Rumble of Scientific Triumph", "Belaf's Lullaby")

I never thought you wou react to Stellaris music, but I am SO HAPPY you are

Definitely gotta recommend "For As Long As I Shall Live." Powerful track from a great trailer for Stellaris.

literally one of my favorite games of all time, only made better by a super nostalgic soundtrack

oh yes! Stellaris music! The game has such great music for sitting back and building a space empire. My personal favorites are Faster Than Light, Robo-Sapiens, and Menothos (or Methonos, either the upload on RU-vid got misspelled or they misspelled it in-game). A lot of it is chill yet exciting and inspiring. It's no wonder I get myself lost in the gameplay for hours!

Ooh, Stellaris OST. The perfect background music

The faster than light is also another really great song from stellaris. It goes really hard too.

stellaris has such amazing music great for just relaxing to while endless space also does the same it has a few very uplifting ones

Ahh Stellaris, the game that made me realize genocide really is just one administrative mistake away.

Yet another game ost I’m in love with! If you end up craving more from this game there is certainly plenty, or if you might like the sound of a more tension filled front lines fate of the world type ost from a similar genre, Planetary Annihilation and its tracks are extremely underrated. I highly recommend both tho!

By far my favorite music piece from Stellaris is the main theme for the DLC Synthetic Dawn, but they're all great. Most of them share a very subtle motif that pushes what otherwise would feel like (not to be insulting to the composers) "royalty-free" music? - to feel unique to Stellaris, for those who know. It's kinda cute, I love all of it.

Stellaris is the game that starts out as Star Trek and ends as Warhammer 40k

Stellaris's ost is so beautiful so so glad you are reacting to it. Though "Faster Than Light" is the more iconic song on the soundtrack and better than this one in my opinion but all are great listens

Feels weird to hear Stellaris Music with Lyrics as those are really rare. Anyway. Great Reaction to a great OST. Stellaris has a lot of great OST Tracks and Paradox Games in general do as well. I'd for example recommend Hearts of Iron 4's Axis Theme, Allies Theme/Main Theme and "Claustrophobic March". For Stellaris i'd recommend the Nemesis Main Theme and Imperial Fleet.

Consider me thrilled that you're doing Stelleris, too. My favourite Stellaris soundtrack is "Then comes Light".

Please react to more Stellaris music. It's a criminally underrated soundtrack.

Dang, i've actually never listened to Distant Nebula this carefully before. Normally when this song is played it's always accompanied by a lot of prompt sounds such as those of science ships and fleets.

Out of every song in Stellaris's soundtrack, this one is my personal favorite.

A friend introduced me to Stellaris, and while it took almost 150 hours to understand the game and really having fun. The music, as soon as I heard a few tracks I got the whole OST and it became my go-to when reading sci-fi books or just letting my mind goes. That's an awesome soundtrack and I'm really happy you discovering it !

Faster than Light and Deep Space Travel are the game's best tracks imo

Stellaris gameplay: "Hoomans, lol. You slave of the space monke now!" Stellaris OST: The most majestic thing you've ever heard.

Another, albeit shorter, brilliant track is "In memory of MR" which is a tribute to one of these explorers that Distant Nebula talks about.

wow didn't expect Stellaris) One of my personal favorite is Synthetic dawn

What a fantastic surprise. I wasn't expecting you to listen to Stellaris, but I'm so glad you did! This game has a lot of really great ambient tracks. I'd also recommend listening to Faster Than Light for more vocals.

The galaxy is vast and full of wonders.

All of the music from Stellaris is just buityfull. I love the OST from it. Every singel song has so mutch power or fits so smooth in the setting.

One of my favorite game OST of all time. Magnificent.

Such a phenomenal soundtrack! My personal favorites from this game are "The Birth of a Star" and "Towards Utopia." Not sure if it's still the case, but when the game first came out "The Birth of a Star" would play when you opened the game's launcher. Perfect mood setter for the game.

Nice to see some Stellaris on the channel. Really appreciate you taking the time to listen to it. The music for this game is really good but very steady and I was wondering what you would make of it. Looking forward to when you recover from COVID but please take the time and care you need, COVID really sucks. Thanks again for the content and good luck with the move.

Average stellaris player: *Commits atrocities, mass genocide, total wars, destruction of worlds* Stellaris music be like:

Stellaris has such a great soundtrack. I am glad that you reacted to one of the tracks.

STELLARIS I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH, it's one of my favorites. The soundtrack is *chef's kiss* I genuinely didn't expect it here in your channel but I'm glad, so so glad. This game's amazing. You should check Civilization's soundtracks sometimes. Civ VI in particular does a very interesting thing in modulating popular songs/folk songs in different thematic ways according to the age you're in. It's wonderful.

Oh man, how did I miss this. Stellaris is one of those games that you don't play often, but every time you come back to it you log 20+ hours. Essentially, you control a civilization as you explore the galaxy, and you can choose to make allies, subjugate everyone, engage in espionage, pursue alien technology, make pacts with ancient beings, etc. There are tons of events and stories to discover, and once the base game feels boring, there are infinite community mods to play with new technology, stories, themes, and gameplay elements. The modding community is truly something special. Stellaris is made for a niche audience for sure, but I love it and always find myself playing a campaign every few months. Other Stellaris tracks I'd recommend are Faster Than Light, Creation and Beyond, and Hostile Fleet Detected. Personally I prefer the instrumental versions, but I can see why you'd want to cover the vocal ones :)

Me, playing a tombworld megacorp every game: "let's all be friends!"

check out the Stellaris: Aquatics trailer, is a SPACE SHANTY (it's more of a snippet than a proper song fair warning but it's incredibly cool to me at least)

Wait theres a Vocal Version of that Song?! Since When! Holy shit.

Creation and Beyond has an incredible crescendo. You would love it

Finally, some stellaris recognition. Hope to hear you listen to "Faster than Light"

Now thats OST i did not expect to be featured, such a unknown game. But definetly one of my favoirites :)

We got Stellaris OST now baby! Great game, and good music to chill and rule a space empire to.

I have played Stellaris a year or 2 before and it was an addicting game. As a fan of sci-fi and fantasy games as well as 4x games, Stellaris never failed in terms of how epic I feel :D Love the game and will play it again, if time permits :D

Did not expect to see this game here! Im a bit burnt out on it after being involved in the (extensive) modding scene for awhile, but the OST undoubtedly is a joy. It takes some time to learn but its lovely.

Faster Than Light, Infinite Being and Synthetic God are absolute bangers too

stellaris OST is just goated beyond existance, its the perfect soundtrack for the game, i know every song in and out lol you should react to more stellaris songs, my personal favourite is synthetic god

Oh, now you HAVE to do some Endless Space 2 Reacts!

Strange, haven't touched this game in a couple years, randomly decided to check on it and now it's here

The songs from Stellaris are really beautiful. It's difficult to choice what song is the best one.

The paradox of Stellaris the music is magnificent and invites you to travel, but the first games is done in blood and tears.

i'd be curious to see you do more Stellaris music, though i'd want to reconmend first the stellar sea shanty they did for the Aquatics pack.

Do more of these, stellaris has an amazing soundtrack

Stellaris has one of my favorite soundtracks, I think I've recommended it multiple times myself! Some of my favorite tracks aside from this one are The Birth of a Star, In Memory of Mercedes Romero, Luminescence und Infinite Being! The soundtrack gave me a new "genre" to look for when browsing music, called "hybrid orchestral" which always has that space-y vibe and I love it. Btw definitely recommend looking at the Crysis 2 soundtrack sometime, especially the Epilogue "main theme"!

you need to listen to most paradox franchise because it depict a historical era and feeling. Try. crusader kings, EU 4 ect.

I wish the vocal versions were in game

Stellaris! I didn't expect that! It's like you're on a trek to cover all of my favorite games! You should check out the other stellaris vocal track: Faster than Light That one's my personal favorite.

I love stellaris, personally my favourite theme is apocalypse's main theme doomsday (atleast I think that's what it's called), something about it just gives me chills, the opening gives me the feeling of the calm before the storm, of a brief period of peace before the coming war, then the build up begins and you get the sense of an inevitability, a war you know is coming yet you can do nothing to stop, then the build up ends and what we are left with perfectly encapsulates the feeling of a rising threat that you need to do everything to stop, whenever I hear it I just imagine rapidly selecting fleets in some vain attempt to stop an enemy wielding firepower beyond anything my ships can muster, God I love this game

"it's so Beautiful!" "FONDER SPECIES IS ON THE SLAVE MARKET" ...... Cowabunga it is.

Ayo. Stellaris has a fire OST

I've played over 1,000 hours of Stellaris and this OST still gives me chills.

Damn, so weird hearing the music without all the other in-game sounds, it’s actually a lot more beautiful than I thought

"Cradle of the Galaxy" is my favourite track of the entire game.

Stellaris one of my favorite games and such an amazing soundtrack for it yes "Faster than light", "distant Nebula" and so many more

don't forget react about ost on Europa universalis IV too! it also has great ost!

Damn, I didn't even know this track had vocals.

I'd love to see some music from the Endless games get covered, like From the Heart and Across the Drift.

Stellaris has my favourite soundtrack of any game I have played. Some of my absolute favorites are faster than light, riding the solar wind, doomsday, and a brighter tomorrow.

Faster Than Light is a fantastic one from Stellaris, 100% recommend it

My favourite from stellaris is "March of profits". And, of course, faster than light with vocals: it plays on radio in another paradox published game "cities skylines")

Stellaris is one of the best 4X RP space games out there, probably the only one even. This and many other astoundingly beautiful tracks play in a selectable music player throughout your galactic conquest/unification. In Stellaris you can build your own space faring empire or choose a premade empire to edit, with options to be xenophobic, materialist, pacifist, militarist and more. The DLCs offer many great things like megastructures to discover, massive space leviathans to kill, and federations between empires to be formed. One of my favorites is Synthetic Dawn, allowing you to create a synthetic machine empire. Through the game's origin system, you can choose how your empire came to be, offering either buffs or a determined fate for your empire, for a synthetic empire you can get a unique origin describing that it killed it's own creators through means you can write up yourself with a built in text box for your species' lore. So you can basically RP as Skynet winning the war against humans going on to conquer the galaxy, and that's pretty fucking cool.

This is either something that is said by the community or it's the game's official tagline (I can't remember) but as an opposite to one other saying ("The universe is dark and full of horrors") Stellaris's is "The universe is bright and full of wonders."

Andreas Waldetoft - Genius about Game Soundtracks. The Stellaris Soundtrack is the best of all soundtracks that he do. Has a huge influence from Interstellar, maybe by accident. But in the end, almost everything from this Soundtrack and the DLCs are awesome. Deep space travel or Birth of a Star are for my opinion the best Tracks.

got this recommended by youtube now i need to try the game

Stellaris is worth the price for the soundtrack alone. But it's also a phenomenal galactic civilisation game with fantastic storylines and a powerful theme of wonder and discovery running underneath it all.

There's no game that shows you the vastness of the universe, but still makes you feel so small and innocent all at the same time. You discover technology to capture the power of the stars, yet you still feel like you're just scratching the surface of what's possible, and the OST reinforces that feeling every step of the way

The "Stellaris - Nemesis Theme" and the spacefaring seafarer shanty song both go way harder than necessary. Well, Nemesis is appropriate, since the entire point of that dlc is You Are The Baddies

I have friends who lived for stellaris, I never understood why, I never gave much chance to games that were outside my niche. Everything changed after I entered a match with a friend and the music that played in the game was simply incredible. I started to learn to play stellaris with him and even brought the songs with me on the spotfy playlist when I was going to play Elite Dangerous. Exploring in the elite dangerous with a well-modified ship, in the emptiest spots of space or near the great wonders of the firmament with the music of stellaris was out of this world.

This game is amazing. Soundtrack is S tier. It is my favorite of the many amazing soundtracks from Paradox games. Crusader Kings 2 (and 3) has some really wonderful tracks too (with a more Renaissance background). Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron 4... so many titles have outstanding soundtracks that completely fit the theme and help create the experience. If you haven't already seen it or reacted to it, this is a lovely live studio orchestral performance of a song from Stellaris that captures the feeling of a civilization just stepping out into the unknowns of deep space, and then expanding, conquering, dying, etc: "Stellaris | Creation and Beyond - Full Orchestra Session and Music Video" ^ You've maybe already reacted to it or shared it with one of your guests. New here. I love watching the musicians making this amazing music happen. P.S. I love that you clearly resonated with this song and you "get it." This is a great song from Stellaris to react to. Just from how you grasp what the music and lyrics are doing, I feel like you totally understand the experience that is Stellaris (and how some of the best games Paradox makes create a sense that you are actually experiencing the setting, the events, the frontier of space, or feudal europe, or colonial power struggles, or all out world war) P.P.S. I certainly hope you've checked out "Faster Than Life" as well, both the vocal and non-vocal version. Just remember... to embrace the worm because WHAT WAS, WILL BE; WHAT WILL BE, WAS

Alright who gave you the keys to my video game library? I can understand Warframe you know millions of people play that.. but Stellaris. Come on! I honestly haven't even watched the video yet but I'm already excited to hear what you have to say about yet another one of my favourite games. What's next Frostpunk? Lol

I'm biased, but Paradox Development Studios' games following Stellaris really nail the atmospheres they are set in. Stellaris with its sci-fi orchestration, the majestic arrangements of Crusader Kings 3 (The Dynasty, The Crusade Begins and Scandinavia - Choir Version) and the uplifting score of Victoria 3 (Rule the World and Glory to the Queen).

I've spent upwards to 700+ hours in this game, and despite being designed as a 4X multiplayer game, I have always preferred to go it alone. The perspective of the game and the atmosphere and pacing works so much better for a patient, enduring and deeply invested telling of your own story as opposed to the rapid speed of other 4X games like Sid's Civilization which take the narrative elements not very seriously. In short, Stellaris is a game that I find is best played in abject silence save the soundtrack, with the feeling of quiet loneliness as a compliment to the experience rather than a detriment.

Whelp now Im off to watch the apocalypse trailer for the umptenth time

Space themed strategy games are some of my favorite games. And it all started with Homeworld and Adagio for Strings.

ahh the tune I listen to while out exploring the black in my Asp
