Spyro 2 - Autumn Plains [Extended] 

Spyro 2 is the best in the series. Great level design, perfect difficulty, amazing sound, visuals, and gameplay for the Playstation... Not to sound weird but I always like to take the whirlwind to the highest tower where you can hear the wind blow. Then you take off and fly slowly to that pillar of land outside the edge of the castle wall. Those moments that stick with you are what make a videogame amazing.

I can *hear* the orb bouncing memories!!!!

The hubworlds is Spyro 2 are the best in the series and I dare to say in all platformer games.

My nostalgia for this game is crazy-huge. Does anyone else find themselves thinking about the impact games can have on someone's life while listening to this? I mean, merely listening to this brings a tear to my eye and reminds me of a time in life where there wasn't so much stress. Life was simple back then, all I had to worry about was doing my easy second-grader homework, and there were no anxieties about the troubles of teenage/adulthood. It was just me, a PS1, and my faithful old purple pal. Man, the original Spyro trilogy has a way of making me get really cheesy lol.

This is easily one of the nicest comment sections on RU-vid.

There was nothing quite as satisfying than that long, peaceful glide from the top of the castle...

Heaven is here

if only autumn plains, summer forest and winter thundra exist! that would make my dream come true. Just that ambience...All the Spyro backrounds, the skies, everything was just beautiful!

I wish I could still smile like I used to playing this

Im 22 years old, I'm not a religious person but damn, if a "Heaven" could exist I hope I could just go back intime and replay my favourite games.... Banjo Kazooie N64 --> Pokemon (first few generations)--> Spyro Trilogy, Ratchet and Clank trilogy, Sly Cooper trilogy, Simpsons Hit N Run ---> Being 15 playing Mw2 with all of my friends for hours at a day... Now I'm just busy with work, and at times life can be so fucking amazing but I'd kill to be a kid in those certain events of my childhood. Playing these old games now is still fun but its not the same. It can never be the same.. I'm not a kid or a young teenager, I just hope I could replay these games as a kid again or just play the games with my younger self or younger friends when we weren't all so busy. Rip

Can you hear that wind up atop the castle's roof?

Reminds me of something you would hear upon entering the gates of Heaven or something. Very peaceful piece of music and somewhat melancholy too in a way or perhaps i just cry too easily idk.

This level and the music are about the closest thing to what I think heaven must be like. One of the most beautiful areas in a video game in my opinion

I just cried listening to this for the first time in years.. I would give soul to have those summer days at Grandmas house back

Summer of 1999, when I was first introduced to Playstation. A bug's Life was our very first game. Then playing demo discs Brave Fencer Musashi Crash Bandicoot Warped ( midnight run) Bust a move 4 Medievil Wild 9 And the pizza hut green disc Playing Ape Escape And of course Crash Team Racing!!! (I would be laughing my ass off, blasting the other racers with bombs and missiles, and laying beakers and TNT/NITROS when they were right in back of me!!😅🤣) As my final year in elementary school went on, I played Croc 2 (My dad got it for me for getting a good report card. I wanted him to buy me either Spyro 2 or CTR, but it was a little expensive for him at the time. $39.99 , which would be $60-$65 today and he didn't necessarily have the best paying job. He was barely able to get us by) and the first Spyro game for my birthday. Come every other Friday nights and Saturdays , my dad would take us to blockbuster to rent SPYRO 2 and Crash Team Racing! It was even more awesome when he would order us a Pizza and me and my siblings would entertain ourselves playing the games until the food arrived! Fun times knowing that we only had 5 days to complete as much of the games as we could before returning them. I loved being in Autumn Plains around 5-6 pm, Sunset, just like in the game. Then He got me Crash Bandicoot Warped for my second good report card. Come the last 2 1/2 months of elementary school, my aunt had surprised with an unexpected gift....SPYRO 2!!!!! I was so damn happy that I could play it indefinitely!!!! Man, how I loved staring at the holographic booklet. 😆🤣. Also, I was counting the days to the last week of school because on that Thursday, we would be going to a beach trip. So to make the time go by , I spent long hours trying to complete the game. Also watching THE MUMMY (1999) every single day for the last 2 months, the desert setting especially the sand made me think even more about the trip. And the desert levels SCORCH and SHADY OASIS would bring up THE MUMMY. Pokémon the first movie also kept me entertained to make that day come quicker. So come the last week, on Wednesday (day before the beach trip) , I get home at noon. My dad arrives 3 hours later and tells me that he has something for me. Takes me to his room, under his pillow was Crash Team Racing!!!!! My jaw dropped! I hugged him, told him he was the best dad!!! After finishing The MUMMY, I spent the rest of the day playing CTR!!!! Summer of 2000 Dear God 😢😭 I want to go back 22 years ago, erase the Playstation from my memory and relive that sensation all over again!! From demo discs, to slowly playing some of those full versions! Especially Spyro 2 and Crash Team Racing!!! I play this music at sunset on my phone and my heart starts racing and I get a lump on my throat!!! Remembering simpler times. 😢😭 😢😭

This has such an ethereal, dreamlike quality

reading all the comments and listening to the music at the same time well it makes me feel sad knowing those childhood memories are in the past i remember my cousins coming over to spend the night and my grandma would like to see us play spyro and crash i miss those times it actually makes me feel pretty darn sad

Spyro will forever be my favorite video game💜

I'm crying. I think a human would never bee able to explain the beauty that comes out of this masterpiece...

I now realize what made me love ambient music as much as I do now. Sorry Brian Eno, but this is where it began.

Imagine walking down that road like a kid with no worries while wind blows and you can hear the calm echo of this piece of art. Imagine.

Omg all these comments yo... I'm tearing up from the nostalgia....

This is my favorite hub world soundtrack. Appropriate, since autumn is my favorite time of year.

This is one reason why i liked more spyro games than crash bandicoot games, but both were my faforite childhood playstation games

This music just makes want go to beautiful places, stare at everything and take a trusty camera to capture it all. Maybe that's only me though.

I may not have grown up with Spyro, but the homeworld music in Spyro 2 tells me very important messages in my book. The way I see it, Summer Forest represents the joys of being out of school or college and spending time outside during a nice hot sunny day as well as the leeway from being out of work, and it symbolizes what feels like endless sunlight and happiness, and all the hope that we seek landing among us like a butterfly. Autumn Plains represents not only the changes of nature all around us with the leaves changing colors, the trees shedding their leaves, temperatures getting cooler, days starting to get shorter and sunlight becoming less, but also the changes in life that we all go through, such as kids returning to school, adults returning to college and going back to work, but even the Autumn Plains music evokes hope and happiness between all those uncertain changes in life as well. And then Winter Tundra represents the sign of hope and happiness even in the darkest and shortest of days where what was before full of color and sounds of nature is now coated in black and white and dismal quietness. The way Winter Tundra's music sounds, it's kinda the sound of hibernation in my book, as it also represents that the school year for children is only halfway through, and adults and college students are nearly worked to their limit, and there's still half a week before the holidays, but it also evokes a feeling of warmth and coziness among the times that it's almost too cold to be outside. In my opinion, Spyro 2 has the best and most unique music in the whole franchise.

I always stayed in this world just to listen to the music forever :) I'm 23 now and still go back and play my old spyro games. This music now just brings back good memories and is so calming.

This song is so beautiful... it hurts. Maybe because of the nostalgia?

It's Incredible like this level was on my mind after all this 15 years. I'm just play spyro 2 Only for see this world. It's a perfect reproduction of the heaven... The sense of infinity and peace of that place is wonderfull. I'm serious, autumn planes is Magic

Love all of you guys. Spyro isn't just a videogame, it's peace, Memories of a childhood that lives inside us. When i sit in my garden and i listen to these soundtracks, i feel good, i feel vibes down my spine. It's something i can't explain. It's so beautiful to see so much people from late 90's - early 2000's raised by these games. Sorry for the english. Love by a 24 years old italian gamer and Spyro's lover

spyro will be forever

A refreshing song that reminds us of the cooling autumn wind after a long and hot summer, rejuvenating ourselves as we look forward to experiencing the leaves changing into beautiful fall colors before they fall to the ground, drying up and making a satisfying crunch noise when stepped on. In this hub, you can climb up and glide to a certain spot that has an updraft that will make you go up very high and you can glide all the way back down, enjoying the beauty of the world below you as you descend on your way back, enjoying this magical music that pleases the soul.

could someone plz bring me back those times, when the only wish i had was to soak in that front pool as in a bath..? or sit on the edge of the castle staring into the sky? or walk along the inner garden wall and overview my own realm of peace? or meditate on the farther island? or sunbathe on that small lawn by the highest tower? or climb it just to FEEL the wind..? *gosh*

Smoke up and relaxing playing spyro 2

So, I remember when this game came out actually. I was very young. I wasn't even in kindergarten. My dad brought it home for me. Of course being a child, I never took good care of my games and it was scratched to all hell and I couldn't play it. The first time I played this game again was about fourish, fiveish, years ago. My brother found a copy at a local game store and bought it for me and I played it over again (finally beating it) Anyway, it was a couple of days before my Junior year of high school to start and my brother had his friend over. We all went outside, my room had an upstairs porch (I know it's called a balcony but, my balcony wasn't luxurious. There was box and shit all over it) and we smoked a hell of a lot of pot. After I came back in, I was feeling so damn good and started playing this game. I was in the autumn plains and this song came on and I was zoning out to it. It felt so amazing. It relaxed me so much. I probably sat on my bed for a good half hour, completely in a trance, just listing to this, and staring at a carpet. It was amazing. I'll never forget that night.

The sunset. And the tower. And the wind.

I hope They make a time machine Just so... I can go back to when the classic generation was out And people in my family weren't dying and I was happy for once. ^^v I can dream.

A part of this exact music is played on an episode of Breaking Bad. I recognized it because I've always loved it. Autumn Plains was my favourite home world when I was a kid and still remains my favourite to this day. I used to love hearing the wind at the top of the highest tower. I would glide down to the pool. I think that if I died that home world would be a part of my heaven :)

I always liked Autumn Plains. I loved to contemplate the great landscape while I was listening this music...

Holy crow! Thank you so much for posting this song on here! And with such a lovely photo too!

Probably one of the most beautiful and magical peices of music ever to come from a video game.

Peaceful I would relax in my bed listening to this everyday and night jus to be in my peaceful world that I see in the future

How one song can bring back so many memories... thinking about how life was entirely different as a child, I felt as I would live forever, everyday was full of energy, all those thoughts and wonder and desires of the past, and it’s all contained in a brain... all this from hearing a song... this song makes me feel like I transcend reality... incredible... thank you Spyro, you’re forever apart of me

Anyone else heard this on the New Year’s Eve broadcast from London?

man this brings back memories, just bought the reignited trilogy and wow, definitely had a tear in my eye when I stood on top of the tower and hearing the wind, amazing.

it sounds so heavenly

That masterpiece takes me back to the past and brings a tear to my eye... I love it.

I remember as a child that I always felt sad whenever I heard this music. It would remind me that Summer Vacation was almost over and I would have to return to school, which, as a child, I absolutely hated. Now, I look back on this music with fondness and nostalgia...

Every 1st day of fall this plays in my head. Good times!

my favorite games from my childhood are spyro, crash bandicoot, ratchet and clank and of course jak and daxter

Spyro forever 💘🎮🎮🎮🎮

This is proof that even Heaven can be found here on Earth.. well at least for 10 minutes and 44 seconds anyways

The homeworlds in this game, and especially this one, had a surreal, magical medieval fantasy atmosphere to them that was often present in the first game but severely lacking in this game outside of the home areas. I've always loved this game, but it was a bit jarring to go from a level with goofy cartoon slugs talking in southern accents to this isolated fantasy landscape. I really wish that a game existed with the updated graphics from the Reignited trilogy that took place in a single, unified open world environment that was something like this or Winter Tundra (or both). It'd be like a kid-friendly Witcher 3 or something along those lines. Too bad it'll never happen.

And the sound of the frogs.. near the water?

Every day after school, I got home, booted spyro 1 or 2 on the ps2 and deleted my old saves just to play the game over and over and over again. I'm so glad to be one of many who hold Spyro close to their heart. The reignited trilogy really brought it back, but nothing can beat the original. I'll never forget the purple boi who stood by my side while growing up.

I usually come to hear this song and I always like to read this comment, it's like a perfect cumpliment for the music. I'm 23 too and your words express exactly how i feel about remembering that days playing Spyro.

Dear God this brings back memories! (': I always pictured me being a little girl being taken up by angles and floating above the sea and its just after sunrise so everything is peachy and warm, and the white clouds are gently wisping across my face. I smell the warm sea air and as I get closer to heaven the chorus of welcoming angels gets louder and louder until i'm gently layed down in a soft bed of clouds.

Summer Forest is the sound of childhood, Autumn Plains is the sound of adolescence, Winter Tundra is the sound of adulthood.

Man, I'm crying.

Not only this beautiful game's song but also you guys are great. I feel so happy to see your comments to read about how your feelings are. I like them all. Spyro 2 reminds me my good memories from my childhood. I was playing this game over and over. I didn't know Englosh and I didn't even know that there is a thing called "Memory Card" . So, everytime I was playing from the beginning but I never got bored and never tired of playing the stages again. Sometimes I was leaving it open so that I could keep playing. I mostly paused or stayed in this stage cuz I loved it. The music, the atmosphere and jumping sheep. Idk who created this game and songs but I deeply thank for the people who's spent their time on this and created such a beautiful game. I'm not sure, maybe thanks to this game, I like different kind of musics like Ambient, Chillout, Chillstep and Meditation musics. I have this music on my phone and before I go sleep sometimes I listen to this. It makes me peaceful and relax, feel like flying in the paradise or in such a beautiful place.

I wish theses themes would play depending on the seasons in real life

breaking through the secret wall and climbing to the highest point in the game to do one huge spectacular glide. childhood man, childhood.

Now just think of that orb *Tink* *Tink* *Sparkle*

I always remember Spyro 2 from my childhood days, will never ever ever forget sitting playing it, when life was simpler, the sky was bluer and my family happier. Times were slower then, everything easy, everything magical. Now I am 23 you realize as you get older that times get tougher and tougher.....and you grow older, forever remembering, forever dreaming of ....Spyro and autumn plains. Forever gliding. This soudtrack, this game, this level.... I shall never forget.

Of all the worlds and of all the music I'm looking forward to experiencing in the Reignited trilogy, Autumn Plains is at the very top. I love the homeworld, I love how it looks, I love how you climb up and run through the castle, I love standing at the top of the castle and listening to the wind roar as you overlook the world, and I love the soundtrack, one of tranquility. My favorite area in my favorite game in the series.

I didn't even play the original spyro games just got the reignited trilogy, yet this music for some reason feels... nostalgic? I have no idea why but i love it?

if this is not what your childhood sounds like then your childhood must have been pretty boring

It’s that time of year again!

the amount of nostalgia this brings to me in incredibly immense, me and my father use to mountain bike and this is a picture perfect version of where we use to go

Spyro music to think deeply to.

This reminds me of when I was younger and my dad had a home theater in the basement we used to play all my videogames on. The same day I reached Autumn Plains I beat the final trainer in Pokemon Stadium and kept the trophy screen on untill my older brother got home from school. Memories ❤

one of the best soundtracks i have ever heard. it makes me feel relaxed and calm :)

I remember just enjoying swimming around in the water parts of the home world, just enjoying listening to this music. I love it.

So... many... memories... ;_;

This music was used in the BBC 2021 Fireworks display.

One of the best game. I played Spyro in my childhood and I never forget this game.

For any fellow musicians out there, this sound can be heard in Omnisphere 2 as the "Paradise" preset. I spent all last week playing Spyro 2 and then jumped into Omnisphere and magically came across it. Pretty cool to hear in there!

All that is beauty came alive and learned to sing.

I hope the owner of this account knows he created a lot of peace with the three Spyro 2 home-worlds songs he posted. A lot of us are just sad adults reminiscing but the comments are so lovely nonetheless. I hope everyone reading this is doing okay.

I still do this. The worlds of Spyros 1, 2 and 3 are too beautiful to forget. Especially Autumn Plains. I fear we may be losing sight of what video games are really about. Getting to walk around and have fun in someone else's imagination!

This one was always my personal favorite Spyro 2 world as a kid.

The home world songs were so magical meeen

Damn, this brings tears to my eyes. ;( I remember when I first played Spyro 2; it was during entire summer holidays! Best 2 months in my life, mainly because my grandpa was still alive.

Listening to this just takes me way back to my childhood. God i miss those days.. Spyro 1 was my 1st game i ever played then tekken 3.. i want a time machine!!

Rilassarsi, godersi questi suoni magici di un gioco magico e pensare alla tua vita. Farsi sommergere dai ricordi di infanzia, dei bei momenti andati e dalle persone che non ci sono più. Non si possono spiegare le emozioni e la commozione che suscitano questa canzone e l'intero livello... specialmente quando arrivi in cima alla torre, con il dettaglio del soffio del vento, e puoi ammirare l'intero paesaggio. Nostalgia di bei tempi che non torneranno più.

Memories, playing this game with my family.

this is what peace sounds like. no war no fighting everyone gets along and you ley on grass in a big sunny field full of flowers and butterflys with this song playing

Video games.... controllable nostalgic addictive audio-visual art. What's cooler than that? Nothing. Whole worlds created out of nothing. There's nothing cooler than that.

Greetings from Brazil! Sorry for my bad english ... I want my childhood back! Nostalgia is a good and bad feeling. However, my childhood was incredible, as was your childhood too. I love you all! Peace ♥

I come to listen this everyday. Peaceful.

Of all the music from Spyro 2, this is the one track that has stayed with me the longest. It feels almost dream like, on the brink of sunset.

I love you classic spyro! You will always have a special place in my heart.

Hah ha! Mine too! I used to just stand at the tower listening to the wind with the music... I also zoomed into the sun just peeking out of the clouds... It was certainly my favorite home-world. Then Winter Tundra 2nd

This is such a blast from the past. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@CJD1312 Agreed.I loved the autumn plains with you being able to go all the way up on the top of the castle and feel that cool breeze.Too bad newer spyro games aren`t nothing like that anymore.

I'm so lucky to have heard a song like this.

Spyro 2 was the first Spyro game I ever got and I beat it lots of times

I can still hear the horrified screams of sheep while I slaughter them followed by a loud and sickly sound of jaws shutting when devouring their souls

Soooo....beautiful..I love u spyro classics..... Makes me cry :')

beautiful poem. yes thats what happens when you go from the 90s to 2010's. For most of us its been a bumpy ride.
