I've always loved this piece, it's so simple yet so effective. The way the scale never reaches out to the dominant reminds me of how James can't reach out to Maria and how trapped he is by guilt. So sad...
Just passed this part of the game... I'll never forget the feeling of melancholy and resignation I got after Maria's death, just awesome... thank you, Mr. Yamaoka.
I always back to listen to this piece when I feel depress and almost resign myself to the fate This tune sound very lonely, looming with guilt, relive you with recent past of your failure, especially in relationship, yet it has a vibe of relief and bittersweet
I love empty music like this. It helped my progress through a nasty writers block on a novel I am working on where the protagonist has lost his daughter and due to the circumstances on how she died her very existence has gone. No one besides the protagonist knows she existed and so he is the only one who can grieve for the death. The death of the daughter he now never had.
I second Shiya's question. If it's out there, could you message me or something? I'd like to read it, and tell you a bit about the things I'm working on (I'm also an author).
This reminds me when you are grown up and you gotta to be stronger in life... And pass adversity, fear and to be yourself.... Very nice masterpiece, thanks akira
The definition of lost. The manifestation of emptiness, nothingness... A suffocating void and a living corpse holding a shattered hope that was never meant to be.
The moment when you realize every f. Day you surrounded by chances you never have chance to archive.. Everything beathifull just running by not stop for you. And leave you empty.. Just a shell survive, live for another day. To watch
When this song came up...I walked around the floor at the hospital for no reason. Just listened to this song and realized what happened. A true masterpiece...listening to this at a 3000€ home theater speaker system give me so much relaxation. Sitting in my sofa and doing nothing, but listening to it. :-) Feeling deeply relaxed after it.
I'm crying so hard listening to this song right now because I'm ADHD and I suffer so much from life. I know everyone has their personal problem, but since my childhood I cry and I get rejected by others even in my adult life because I am very restless and happy. This is something that makes me cry. and this song described to me something like lost a part of me. And I'm afraid of losing the good things I have in life, it's not so much, but I value it a lot!
find yourself something that you can be inspired by. it helped me . I am also being scolded by everyone now, at music school, at home, at a regular school, everywhere. but... I can't just give up. I have exams on my nose, will listen to me and my whining. Buddy, I advise you to get inspired. anything. Music. Games. books. You just try, and it will go by itself
I feel this track conveys the feeling of being at a loss for words. Being unable to process what has just happened. Realizing once again you could do nothing to help what was in front of you. That’s why James sulks in silence and is left alone once again.
This is the perfect atmosphere for the beginning of one of my WIPs. In the beginning, we're introduced to the main character, a boy of eleven years old, a quiet, shy little thing eternally bonded to his thirteen year-old best friend. The soft, tranquil feeling fits the beginning of them sitting on a branch, high in a tree, above everything and untouched by the true worries of adolescence and adulthood, but the older boy decides to head down the tree. The empty quality fits the aftermath of him being knocked out of the tree by a rock, thrown by an unknown person from the woods behind him, and killed. The rest of the book focuses on the other boy as he grows older, still dealing with his best friend's death, and now the target of his killer. I'm glad to have found a song that so exactly fit what I was trying to capture. Thanks for uploading.
You're gonna laugh but I wasn't at all sad. I was really really satisfied. Let me explain. I always felt strongly about the plots in Silent Hill. But this is the one event in which I didn't feel sad at all. For one reason. When I got SH2, I played straight on Hard, since I had beaten SH1 with 10 stars a few weeks before that. But the Pyramid head chase ... I didn't understand that shooting the hell out of him slowed him down. To me, he slowed a bit when you shot him and that was all. So, for about three hours, I was trying to flee him with Maria, shooting him once in the head every three seconds, while walking backwards, and strafing when I came to an angle. But fuckin' Maria got in my line of fire EVERY SINGLE TIME the was a camera angle change. I lost count of the number of times she RAN in PLAIN MIDDLE of my line of fire. And when she was staying on the side, it was Pyramid Head who managed to land a 3rd hit on her (on hard she dies on the third) a few moments before reaching the elevator. Then a pal came over and suggested I shoot Pyramid Head 5 times in a row in the head, then run a full corridor, turn back, shoot him again 5 times and so forth. SOOOOO ... when I got to the elevator I was happy. And when I saw Maria didn't manage to get in, I was shouting something like "THAT WILL TEACH YOU TO PUT YOURSELF IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I AM SHOOTING THE ENEMY YOU BITCH !" But then a few minutes later, when I calmed down I did feel sad. But really, not on the moment. Took a few minutes to the music to catch on to my feelings XD
@@tywinlannister8015 DUDE YES I played in hard and I was so god damn pissed after that Maria scene, I'm ashamed to admit I was glad she's dead, I got sad about her death while walking too the historical society, and missed her while I was roaming the jail in my own. I guess that's kinda how James felt about Mary.
*sit on armchair, head down, hands together and finger grazing forehead* *song starts playing* Me: *geez* It has passed almost 2 years since you left us, Grandma...
First year of release: Holy s**t dude Pyramid Head is scary! Decades after release: Everyday I have to live with the agonizing truth, that I killed the one I loved. But did I really love her? I just don't know anymore...
@wickedslicks1003 btw where's the Toluca lake image from, I don't recognize it in the games, been a while since I played I guess. thanks for all these uploads, must've repeated the song like 12 times to get this
I’ve always loved silent hill ….. sometimes I’m really confused as to the things I should be acknowledging but as through time passes I seem to lose focus and just live in some despaired hopeless moments which are happening in the now ……. Somehow I keep grasp of certain things and silent hill is one of them …… my sisters name is or was Magdalene …..
If you take requests, mind if you extend Noone Love you? I've been trying to find an extended version, and haven't yet. If you're able to accept this request, thanks for doing so.
Downpour turned out very interesting but the Silent Hill HD collection now that was bad I still have my original copy of Silent Hill 2 sadly I let a friend from church barrow my copy of SH 3 and well wont see that again
To be entirely fair, their videos aren't very opinionated, they are just based on the facts that are there, and present those facts to back up what they're saying. Also the 'patch' that hardly fixes anything isn't even being released for the 360. The HD Collection isn't even the full finished games of 2 and 3 (Konami has even came out and admitted this) So you're buying unfinished copies of games and giving them your money for them instead of the full copies that are available out there.
Una obra de arte de audio, y más, si la escuchas en una tarde lluviosa. Sólo los que sufrimos de depresión entendemos lo bello de esta melodías. :-):'(:'(:-(
