An hour long loop of this relaxing and calm song that still sounds a lot like the original. Just listen it, forget all your problems and slowly fall asleep
Hah yeah I remember staring at the nice lamp and just letting the soothing music wash over me, just so I could relax for a moment. It's probably the only place in that mansion where there isn't any threat of monsters or death. Just stay for a little while before going back outside to face... whatever is out there lol...I always ended up staying for ages though because I was too scared to go back outside lol but eventually you pluck up the courage and continue on :-)
Played it when it dropped in 96!!! The original bloody eye disc! Was 16 then! Got so scared taking this corner to hard and ran into a zombie i dropped the controller!😂🤣 That's when it all crystallized how special this game is... I miss the 90's😢
@@3931aaron go back! It's a trap! 13 yrs ago..that's when I met my wife. We would put this song on, and we both liked the resident evil 2 safe room theme. She was an introvert and liked calmness.
I'll be 40 this month. I borrowed the original off a friend in high school and was obsessed with RE since. This really reminds me of playing this in front of my family as a kid. My mother who I lost would enjoy watching me play these I miss more that anything in life.
Just like the game when you find the room with the typewriter, and you know you're safe. Listening to this takes me back to a time when I had no worries, no bills, no obligations, a more simple time in my childhood.
I was having anxiety about my responsibilities and I took a little nap listening to this - remembering the days when passing a game boss was my biggest anxiety. I wish I could go back to those simple wonderful days
R.I.P to my aunt. I remember I use to watch her play resident evil. This save room theme reminds me of her. I love you auntie. See you when I clock out someday.
See there's two types of safe room themes. There's the RE Code Veronica type which is supposed to invoke "OH THANK GOD I'M SAFE!" But then you have themes like this. Themes that tell you, yeah, you're safe... But you have go leave soon. You HAVE to return to that horror... You have to...
@@gabrielgaster3992 Ik overplaying can make you hate a song but for some reason this song just can't get old, it's like hearing nature, trees swaying It just feels natural and beautiful
@@gabrielgaster3992I have heard this but have also heard that calmer songs avoid this problem. Had the beginning of the track "the package" from halo reach as my alarm and it took like 5 years to be able to hear it without my heart skipping a beat when it started. So yeah it is a universally bad idea
My father bought me this game used at a mom&pop store. At the time I thought I would hate it. My dad played it for 2 hours and called it trash as he couldnt understand why "killing all the zombies didnt do anything". I played the game and slowly sloved the puzzles of this twisted mansion and uncovered the horrors unleashed by a company I would later know as Umbrella. However towards the end of the game my young self could not figure out the "Mole" puzzle in the lab. I turned to my only other gamer in the house my dad. At first he seemed puzzled I was till playing the game. He saw that it was a puzzle and smirked. I let him at for 10 minutes and he couldnt figure it out. Efventually we pieced it together and he watched me beat the game. I put the game away and went to bed. The next day after school my dad was playing the game again. Powerful what one song in one room can dig out of my head.
It sounds like your dad was expecting a typical, simple-minded American video game where all you have to do is kill all of the enemies and go from point A to B. This is a game where you have to use your brain to solve puzzles, explore, and carefully conserve your supplies. It blends surrealism with a healthy dose of realism, neither aspect going to an extreme. This game is a timeless masterpiece, the Japanese really are incredible artists.
This composition is seriously incredible. It makes me feel fear and uncertainty yet I also get a sense of a strange calmness and peacefulness. It's like there are monsters and hell on the other side of the door but for now I'm in a safe environment that can't be penetrated......yet I have dread knowing my peace is only temporary as I know I must face the eeriness and unknown that awaits on the other side at some point. It's inevitable. Music is a powerful thing.
Well said! That basically sums up the feeling I had the very first time I walked into a save room; you`re given a brief respite to collect and brace yourself for the inevitable reality of facing whatever is still out there. Or in other words the safety you feel right now is only transitory.
I work night shift (EMT-SECURITY 😉), this is the background music when I'm in the guard house. It really hits home when the junkies are stumbling around outside.
+tonya B "yes indeed, this 'game' serves as a(n) immolation towards mi notions of a precocious ostentatious prodigious marvel, restive & in a rapturous state indeed, play on."
Tonya B....Resident Evil is one of the best video games of all time....question did you ever finished the game...and which Resident Evil games of the series were your favorite
+Michael Jones pt1 &2 .I still have code veronica,the one with the villages, I have pt6 ice lost track. But this game is wonderful. Silent hill as well.
This save room music is actually a small part of another song that they took it from check it out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7Dt9taIqvys.html
It calls for another remake today though. Exploring the hallways of that mansion with a modern over the shoulder camera angle is how the game should be experienced in the 2020s. If any of the RE games need a remake it's the first one, as the 2002 game definitely looks aged with all due respect.
I don't know why, but this ps1-ps2 era of game will never be the same, the vibes those game could give you were immaculate, now games are so... common, i don't know how to express it.
A year ago I was having trouble at work, hence dealing with a lot of stress every day. I was at a really dark place and somehow that one hour of listening to this with headphones, saved me. Grateful that I saved the game. Life doesn't always give you ink ribbons..
I hear you bro. It doesn't help when you also have to deal with toxic and obnoxious co-workers on top of that. That's why I try to find the pleasures in simple things...clears my mind and helps me make better decisions.
I had a similar experience, but for me it was Akira Yamaoka music from the Silent Hill series. We're lucky that these games featured such incredible music
I almost cried when I ran into the first safe room of the remake, just... the nostalgia, I miss the 90's, I miss being young and I miss my insane fear of zombies brought on by the picture on the back of the PS1 manual, you know the one!
EmilG90 Lol ah I see, yes, the 90's was exciting, it felt more futuristic than the actual future that followed it, it seems like vibe culture has completely died if that makes sense, no real image springs to mine with the 2000s... I don't know, I just think the 90's were where it was at!
***** It really was, Sitting in front of the TV with the Gamecube on, ready to embark on the nightmare! and that epic moment when you run into your first zombie.. Damn nostalgia man. Good times. They sure don't make games like they used to.
On the ps3, my father and I, who until then were not very close, started playing this incredible game, it was very incredible to discover the countless puzzles in the game's mansion, he would tell me his stories about when he beat the game with his cousin on the ps1 and that they didn't have a memory card so when they died they came back from the beginning of the game, I miss that time. I miss this feeling, I love this game!
This is the first videogame ever to make me go HOLY SHIT and absolutely blow my mind back in 2002. I could not believe a videogame could have those kind of graphics. I don't think any game has shocked me as much as this one ever since. Not even the most modern ones, the magic is gone. The jump from n64 and ps1 to GameCube and ps2 was something we will never see ever again
No, you will see it again when we get the "real life" graphics where you basically are playing Resident Evil but the graphics are equivalent to literally an episode of Walking Dead.
I absolutely love how this tune manages to capture both soothing calmness while at the same time maintaining an eeriness that keeps you on edge. These two things should be in conflict with each other, and yet this combines them seamlessly. Beautiful.
+King Asteroid Resident evil is obviously one of the greatest video games of all times. Im afraid not any other video game franchise survivor horor will surpass this
+The Eater Of Worlds It really was a breakthrough in survival horror. It is the cornerstone of all games that followed in this genre. Hopefully they can get back to making games like this that revolutionize the gaming experience.
So far no game has been revolutionary since Portal, it's starting a era of Story telling and esthetics now! But corporate greed will always ruin about 1/3 of games these days
Nige Cooper, ok and why you came on a reisdent evil video to say that? Im sure you wouldn't like it if i go to a Silent Hill video and say shit, it's useless to say this here buddy
I've been playing REmake for 16 years. I always beat this game at least three times a year and I even got into speed running it for a little while (my personal best was 1:32 new game mode normal 'climbing'). I've beaten this game countless times on every difficulty setting. I've beaten this game countless times with challenge runs such as "knife only" and "no healing" on every game mode and in every difficulty. I've spent nights 12-14 hours at a time just enjoying this game and learning every nook and cranny to every piece of lore you can find in the game. No matter how far away I tread from this game and no matter how long it's been the mansion always calls me back. This game is like a ghost that haunts you and you can't escape it's intoxicating appeal, charm and subtlety. It's so stoic in its embrace that it keeps you held in its arms as if you were a foreigner in a strange land seeking knowledge and wisdom. This game is a part of me and has buried itself deep into my soul. From the first moment I saw a preview of this game on TechTV back in 2003 I knew that this was going to be something special. I know there's a lot of you that will probably feel like this game is boring compared to the newer resident evil titles and you are definitely entitled to that opinion. What I would like to say is if you are on the fence about playing this game I highly encourage it. This game is a masterpiece of gem that is unlike any other. Sure Resident Evil 0 comes close visually but I can say that gameplay wise and level design wise it doesn't even come close. This game stands alone and it is every bit a part of me as I am of it.
I feel like a lot of us that listen to resident evil soundtracks for the save themes all share something in common in life that makes us all feel very unsettled and we all try to reach for that feeling of safety, like the main characters in these games.
@@nickenhead500 i do know, i was playing it when i was 13. lol. but the save room music is practically the same, its the same tune at least. just suttle differences.
I grew up with this series, my bedtime story as you'd call it. Flipping through the game guide and telling my dad as if he hasn't beaten it 100x before. On our Gamecube, box TV, late at night and storms rolling in. Done it for years... now 20 years old and still will do the same.
Two of my friends and I were coming back home late at night after a party, we were baked , and I had this song on my headphones: They had their hood on and they were slowly driving their bike juste in front of me , in this long straight street where all the houses seems to have been copy-past next to each other. We never met any sign of life during our journey, everything was so quiet. Just sounds of leeves swept away by the wind and upper branch of trees shaking.... There was a light rain falling, and the road was almost fellow as it was wet and reflecting the heavy lights from the street lamps. I've never had this feeling before but for about 20 mins I felt like we were the only remaining souls on earth. Powerful music
I used to stay in the safe rooms for hours, just listening to this, back in 2002. This theme is just... I can't really describe it. I feel so relaxed yet so anxious every time listen to it. My emotions are conflicting each other and the outcome is me almost ready to cry! Yes, this theme is THIS amazing!
I remember running from a hunter with low health while I ran into this room, I felt comfort. I stayed in this room for 10 minutes of rethinking my strategy. This music is perfect for thinking!!!
Damn, you stole my idea! XD I want to get an actual typewriter just to put on display in my bedroom and I literally had the same idea about having a save room theme going 24/7 lol. Great minds. ;)
***** you right but it seems that konami has shoved its head so far up it ass to the point that it can no longer think stright but on the other hand we will get allison road
played first time the remake and also the "RE:1 Game/Story". It was a great journey during this(corona) time with my depressions & isolation. The saveroom got me hard, awww man. Its like a safespace in my brain that I found with this song. Greetings from a survivor
Imagine, just barely surviving a journey through a mansion filled with zombies, barely armed. You get to a safe room with a box, and a candle. I cannot think of any motivation to leave that room in such a horrible situation.
And the memories come flooding back... Such an amazing piece that gave you some sort of eerie relaxation. You knew you were safe for the time being but at the same time looming in the back of your head was the thought of what lies on the other side of the door. What horrors you left behind but can't be avoided, wether it be the hunter you ran past to get in the door or zombies waiting outside that you have few rounds left for. That's horror and that's what today's "horror" games need, not countless jump scares or huge action scenes but that one feeling. They really got it right.
reminds me a lot of the loading screen from Dark Souls 1, song is called "Souls of Fire", similar harp arpeggios with some ethereal background droning melody, awesome combo
Well this came first, but it goes all the way back to Aquatic Ambience from Donkey Kong and that probably took it's inspiration from classical music. To me, that style of composition makes for the most relaxing music.
I remember living my first 8 years in different high-rise building on the 7th floor. We had an old sovied school and overgrown field in front of it. This place always feelt like a small jungle. Then you walked through it you could see some parts of very old soviet playgrounds, fence, almost erased roads. In 2023 these memories feel like another world, lonely and irrevocable
the save rooms and music offered a very important element to these series. A lot of horror games today have forgotten this but having moments of calm, moments where the player is completely aware that they won't be attacked, help heighten the tension when they are being attacked or hunted. Giving the player a momentary respite is good to keep horror working. Outlast didn't do this. Instead it kept the tension at maximum the whole way through. Outlast isn't a bad game but I got tired of it really quickly and I haven't bothered for a second play through. Unlike Amnesia or RE or Silent Hill.
Im not sure if Im remembering correctly but I think at one point in one of the games (1,2 or 3, probably one of the later ones) there's a bit where one of the save rooms gets invaded, oh! I think it was Re2, the second back entrance to the police station (you know the garage-ie looking one) and when you opened one of the doors, 2 or 3 zombies came in and ruined the party. That room had a typewriter and it sort of made a play on your feelings having felt safe in typewriter rooms up until that point
I can honestly see a modernized return to this type of save system. Seeing as a lot of the focus is on camera perspectives and found footage to help solve puzzles and progress the story, I can see areas or moments where they have a really serene track like this play while you load up a camcorder with new footage or upload your progress to a computer or something. That'd be a little outdated feeling but still be dope af
the distant sound thats always in it makes it feel so eerie, yet.. somehow calming, you know youre sage from the horrors outside, the warm light.. calming you down, the old typewriter clicking reminding you theres still hope out there that is what goes through my head every time, re1 became almost a comfort game due to this
Iconic music that transports you back to the survival horror glory days of 1996 to early 00's. Battaling for your life and finding the sanctuary of the save room with it welcoming warm glow and its calming music. You will never have a gaming memory like this ever again.
we are here all over again brothers and sisters, gaming life is one of our best classic childhood memories. started RE 1 when i was 12, now i am 38. life is good, folks.
This song is apart of my childhood, so lucky to have experienced it the way I did. So amazing to grow with a series like this. This song symbolizes safety to me, long live Resident Evil!
My dad loves this game. I just picked it up recently and started playing it. It's fun, confusing, and tedious. That's the charm. Nowadays everyone hates their dads or even parents in general. But I love both my mom and dad. Sometimes they piss me off but that never outweighs how much i love them. Playing this game feels almost like I'm doing something for my dad. I'm not very good at it though. 8hrs and I've only gotten to giving Richard the serum and 10 saves. It makes me feel like I wanna make a game like this. For my dad. But I'm on Mac so I can't use rpgmaker as I did on windows [sadly wine isn't compatible for new versions of Mac :/ ] The saferooms are always such a nice place. I set whatever I've gathered in there, take something, and leave. I feel like I'm not a true resident evil fan for whatever reason even though I'm only really playing this game cuz my dad said it's pretty good. As if I need to play the "newer better games." Honestly I really don't care for tall vampire lady. I like Jill and solving puzzles. I also sometimes wish I was around for the release of this remake and the 2000s horror craze in general. But one day some kids in the future will wish they lived through the release of fnaf and other stuff. So I appreciate what I have now. That's all. I'll make my way out of this safe room. See ya guys later 👋👍
today i was playing Resident Evil HD remaster and i entered the save room, i just increased the volume and slept like a baby! i woke up and jill was waiting for me 😂 it is very calming i love it ❤️❤️
This song is amazing. It just sounds very sad yet at the same time there's a sort of peace to it. Like a spirit shedding their regrets and moving on. The gentle howling and the plucking of what I can only assume is some sort of acoustic, adding a sort of ethereal feeling to the song hanging around it like a dense fog. This song wouldn't be out of place in Silent Hill I think, yet it works so well in RE too.
A few years back, while I was procrastinating on studying for my criminal justice class as I did so often back then, I was browsing RU-vid and looking for something that I could try and study to, and I was recommended this gem. This was my first time hearing the music, let alone anything from the series. I’m not saying it captivated me in some super poetic way, but the imagery and the music combined with reading other people’s stories was enough for me to want to get the game. And I’m beyond glad I did. Great game. Great series.
I am not ashamed to say this. This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music to listen to. The thing turns in such a sad and yet beautiful way, the way it slows down just before it repeats, and the swelling sound in the background is like the wind blowing through the door, wailing in sorrow. The whole piece is very nostalgic...so much so for me, there was a time I couldn't re visit this on that account. Thanks for uploading:)
SuspAnimation Followed closely by Wind Waker and Twilight Princess while RE ZERO plays in the corner around the 15th spot. That game had terrible inventory systems.
+Bionic Tang Not really.RE0 was a true survival-horror game.Items were limited as fuck and most of the times you were helpless with no healing items on you cause not enough space for everything.RE0, to me, is better than REmake, maybe the best classic-Resi and had a real plot twist.
I don't know how to describe the feeling I feel for this great melody. I like listening to her because for a moment she forgot all my problems and just like in the game I feel safe in this place that I call home.
It's the perfect music for a safe room. It provides a subtle comfort whilst making sure you still feel haunted and lost in a nightmare world... Neither wanting to stay and let your thoughts wander in fear nor leave and face the horror... Love and Hate it.
I was 12 when this came out, I'm 26 now and the wave of nostalgia from this song, man. I remember just sitting in the save room hoping I didn't have to leave but at the same time I was all, "'I gotta get out of this scary ass mansion! " but then I'd go, " I'll leave in a min....maybe 5.... "
"Nearly out of ammo, my nerves are shot... my sanity is failing... let me rest for a while here in this safe room". This brings back so many good memories....
This is one of the only videos on the internet that truly calms me down whenever my life feels like shit and have stuff in my mind. Just sit back in my dimly lit apartment and soak in the melancholy until I fall asleep.
I go to sleep listening to this every night... there is a pure sense of security and tranquillity behind this theme that make it very surprising to know that it is actually in a Survival Horror title. Truly a masterful composition from Capcom.
