Michael Jablonowski This is very true, but there are sometimes exceptions. "The Cistern", From Rise of the Tomb Raider, was one of these. An amazing piece in its own right. Makes me really feel like I am uncovering secrets of the ancient past.
RIP Lara 1996-2008, can't stand the pathetic excuse of a Miss Croft in the new overdone dull Assassins Far Cry gameplay TRs. Long live classic badass memorable Lara.
This song makes the Croft Manor more relaxing. Tomb Raider 1 to 3, the Croft Manor was kinda scary without any music and also that damn butler was scary.
This was my comfort music in high school, I was bullied and I would go to corner outside during recess, take a book and read it listening to this from headphones... I also played legend game at home all the time and sometimes just wondered through Croft Manor... Even still when I'm scared, I would tell myself "Be like Lara Croft" because she is so brave! I know she is not real but she gave me comfort, she seemed like she didn't have too many friends.
I would either go swim around and daydream of being in a pool with tunnels that connected to other pools, or look out the windows and imagine I was at a mansion where it was snowing. ...probably depended what time of year I was playing the game lol What a wonderful song for the imagination x)
+johncstark79 Oh ho ho, I could go much farther than that! Imagine yourself hiking high in the mountains in the middle of wintertime. There's a heavy blizzard, and just a few mountains before you is a giant Christmas-themed mansion with only one Jacuzzi in its very center. You first have to make your way across the mountains to that mansion, solve a ton of Tomb Raider-like puzzles in various rooms, and fight a giant Santa Claus yeti before you can jump in the hot pool. But the pool turns out to be poisoned, and you have to search the mansion for a suit that will allow you to dive into the pool. Upon finding the suit and diving into the pool, you discover it leads to an underground network of water tunnels filled with keys leading to other, previously locked tunnels. When you finally find the source of the poisoning (a leaky pipe), you find that it was intentional. Someone poisoned the Jacuzzi you had spent so much time journeying towards. They even sent that yeti to stop you. Now you must find them. And punish them for messing with your Jacuzzi.
This makes me feel so melancholy. I could close my eyes and pretend I'm sitting in front of my tv in my school uniform playing tomb raider, I spent so many ours on this game as a kid, in my head it was like it was real, after a while I get kinda got depressed I always wanted there to be somewhere else I could go and something new to explore but there wasn't, this music reminds me of that frustration at the same time I loved this game so much and makes me feel so glad to have experienced it. I miss the old tomb raider.
Acid Pastel we all miss the old tomb raider, but, as much as I can tell, square enix and crystal dynamics aren't gonna recreate that magic feeling of the past tomb raiders
dw in the future we will be able to transfer/extract imagination from our brain and create a reality field where the human being can be able to freely roam and simulate within the world haha :D
This was my Lara growing up. I'm 21 now (Feb 1st, 1998), and this is the Lara I began with. I love the character, so I've managed to adore each version, and it's a real fear that this character will one day never be rebooted.
this was my first Lara too (I'm 18). I recently bought the game again and finished it. it feels so weird to finally know the end of the game rather than play through the beginning for hours on end because I didn't understand the concept of a video game.
I don't know I get so emotional with this song. This game was so special to me and I have the fondest memories of playing it but I can't really explain it. As much as I loved the recent reboot, this is the Lara I love the most.

@FlyingMonkies325 I agree that the levels are shorter and less expansive than TR1 and TR2. I want Tomb Raider 1-4 remastered/remade. Tomb Raider is 30 years old and still hot!
Best memories of my childhood. I hate being an adult and not having my sisters to play this game with anymore. How cruel it is to give us such freedom at the beginning of our lives and then slowly show us that the rest of our lives is hell and struggles.
Aubrey Bullock wow... this is so true.. you put words on my thoughts.. "the hardest thing in this world is to live in it" i didn't understand this quote years ago, when i was a child, today i know, today i understand...
Omg this quote... When i first heard it as a child, watching BuffyTVS, i burst in tears in front of my shitty tv. And still now i can't watch this episode without crying all my tears out x)
So we can show the new young ones that the world is worth living for with the freedom they experience early on. Raise dreamers and they will raise the world.
Yep !! 9 Yes that was really fast and what about prince of persia the two thrones and resident evil 4 i still love these games !!! man they are old for other people but not for me :) !!
Its already 12 years old, time flies so quickly its insane. I hoped theyd continue like this after underworld but the reboot came that didnt get me hyped at all. The story line of the triology was so good 😭😭😭
This game was a part of all of us and the memories will never fade. We are going to be 50 and come back here and listen to this song and reflect about how fast time has gone by. It’s sad, but it’s also amazing that we got to experience the same feelings of nostalgia when listening to this song. This song just randomly pops in my head and it’s very therapeutic.
@@adriancordova2287 Couldn't say it better myself. This track really has that bittersweet vibe of great times, of childhood, of life that was simpler and slower... Or maybe just that vibe of a great game that left so many fond memories for years to come. It was truly amazing and brilliant
The time you live Now will be always remembered with such love and miss in the future. An advice: live the present every day as it was unique, because it really is.
I have to agree, this game some how means so much to me, And Lara herself means so much to me. It's weird I know, but there was something really special about Legend.
If I had a manor, I would love to have a big ass surround stereo playing this song through all the rooms all day long with a soft volume, while doing stuff like working on my computer or cooking/cleaning house. Seriously, it never gets annoying and it can be very calming!
When i am playing i wish i could transfer myself to the manor. This music is so beautiful. Just this music while swimming with lara is just the perfect combination
they wanted more more money :( they killed the series just for cashgrabing. and they actually pretends that they saved the series with that shitty reboot
Christine Orr I tried too. I just couldn’t. I threw the controller. I shutdown my PlayStation console and put it away in my closet. I haven’t touched it since.
I was 12 years old when my father bought TRL for me as a gift, because I had good grades back then lol, I remember I was playing Tomb Raider games since my early childhood, Tomb Raider Last Revelation being the 1st I palyed in the series. TRL had inspired me so much that I continued istalling it on my laptop from time to time till I became 22 hhhhh such a nice adventure, I learned every dialogue by heart in both English and French .
This Lara was the best iteration in my opinion. She had the original background with some (good) alterations and even the original tomb raider being canon through anniversary. Then Legend and Underworld building off the original game story. This Lara was a badass who also had class and a heart.
I was like 12 yo, no money, just shitty computer, this game was the first I ever cracked. I think I've never had such a rewarding experience in my childhood, i coudn't even activate next gen content, and at some parts it was laggy, but it was such a bliss playing it after I managed to get it by myself. This game is epic. It saved the series wheher you like it or not. And you gotta admit, it delivered when it comes to the ost.
@@snakeslife-uroborodjinn790 Bro ain't know way. I finised TR Legend in like 7 hours. Took me 18 hours for TR 2 but maybe because I died like 300 times lmao
I miss My Mom. She used to read her books while I was playing TR in the evening , she always insisted to hear this music . Back in these days we did not own a Wi-fi connection . So I played this Level , and rest my head on her lap while she is reading . I would never forget that .....
I "never ever" get tired of this song. Never. It is just so soothing and beautiful I think she is my favorite Lara Croft in beauty by far than all the other games and I almost have them all. But I could look at her forever. She is so so so petty.
Iam getting an ps3 for christmas and i already bought the tomb raider trilogy (legend,anniversary and underworld) and iam so excited to play them! :D I miss this lara :/
i actually do everything listening to this music. homework, cleaning my room, relaxing, waiting for something, sometimes even when playing games i just play somewhere this beautiful theme. i love it, i enjoy it the most on a rainy day in car
I feel so sad :/ I played all Tomb Raider..Legend 2007 I was 16 years old now I'm 24. Damn it time goes so fast I want those experiences back. Does anyone have a time machine?
+Daniel Draxler I'm having a similar early mid-life crisis myself! I'm infuriated that the PSone classics aren't available on the PS4 which I have - so I hope to beg borrow or steal someone's PS3 so I can get them as they are available for download on that. Wish I'd kept my playstation one and the games now!
Tomb Raider Legend was released over 12 years ago Damn, why do years pass by ever so quickly I remember being 18 and getting so exited to try the Demo And a lot of people here were still in school when it was released I'm Old
Oh wow. I was 7 when I first played. I was depressed in my childhood, but this always made me feel better and I’d always play it and re-clock it. This was some of the happier moments of my childhood so I brought the game again
I was 17 when it first came out. I fell in love with Legend. It was my first PC game. After several years I started playing it again tonight. Which led me to this video. I plan on playing Anniversary and Underworld next.
The best Tomb Raider experience in my opinion, she had Zip and Allistar on the headpiece to keep you company and not feel lonely in the adventures, the gadgets were awesome, the action sequences and horrible deaths with the failures, the relics and the satisfactory of gaining a gold one, the amount of outfits you could unlock, Croft manor, ugh TAKE THE NEW LARA AND GIVE US OLD LARA!
It brings me back so many good memories, a time that i will never forget, i used to play this with my aunt, uncle and brother when i was literally 6 years old. I miss the good old times... time that will never come back, now it's just sadness and depression. This theme hits the deepest spot of my heart everytime.
Back when games were made without complications. You got the entire game day one. No day one patches and content pulled out for DLC. Micro trans what? Legend, Anniversary and Underworld are the best three TR games hands down. All three are ninety-seven cents on Steam until April first. Worth every damn penny.
This song is so beautiful and probly the best representation musically and visually for croft manor. Also... someone PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one that has the urge to want to swim while listening to this song?!
I have associated this track with breaking up with my very first girlfriend ever. When you hear this soundtrack you are free to explore the mansion as much as you want and find secrets. However, the mansion is limited. After enough time you will realize there's nothing left to do and discover. And then it hits you - it's the only TR:L level that requires you to exit it through menu. You have to end it by yourself, otherwise it will go on forever, and this music, however soothing and relaxing it is will just loop forever. Nothing new will happen and it will keep not happening unless you just end it. My first gf loved Tomb Raider too and reminded me of when I was playing it way earlier in my childhood. I have replayed TR:L and done 100% on all possible things (something that was super challenging for me as a kid was suddenly barely hard as an adult). Soon after I have done this we have split up - we simply had nothing left to do in the relationship because our feelings for each other have burned out. I was mad about it but soon realized it had to end because otherwise it would be just endlessly looping without any progress. It was hard to let go, just as it was hard for me to exit the mansion for the first time as a kid. I always get a bit emotional when I hear it. But it's good to have two of my favorite memories in life combined together. 😁
I love whenever this track reappears in my Autoplay line-up, as it starts so gently and quietly I often can't remember what it is for a moment. It has this lovely, hushed, gentle rumble as it starts; it's so infinitely calming, I adore it
The game of my childhood. I wanted to live in this incredible world so much. And probably for some time I really did. My summertime game. Soundtrack was something special, I'd never heard anything that stunning
