Played at the Barracks Settlement, accessible from the Wilderness. yumenikki.wikia.com/wiki/Barracks_Settlement ▸ MP3: www.mediafire.com/download.php?4faszw8xec94ix3 -- Favourite track, hands down.
Its so weird hearing this song playing in the background of a youtube short that my 38 year old, conservative coworker (who is a father of two) was watching.
this song went from being seen as an uncomforting and depressing song from a perfect game to being recognized as "would you run through here for 1m dollars?!?! ohohoho!" still glad new people can experience the masterpiece that is yume nikki.
I played this to my mom and she said "This sounds like the beginning of one of those 70's movies they made us watch, where the kid is depressed and has no friends and falls off a roof and they lecture on how he didn't commit suicide but _"died from loneliness"_ or something" Like holy shit she just summed up the whole game after given four chords of context
@@Slow1337ex I have no clue, I assume it's one of those things you have a school assembly for and then promptly forget so as to not deal with the trauma
@@a-bird-lover I see. It's probably one of those documentary films. I've watched one that was about a depressed kid that ended up killing himself when I was a kid, must be something of the sort
This song is like the feeling of being so depressed that you revisit your child home, nobody lives there anymore. You though that returning would bring you happiness, but instead, you were filled with the thought of where it all went wrong. Instead of being happy that you’re home, you were mourning the loss of what once was.
I understand. A few months ago I went back to my old home that my Dad had been living in to get some stuff I left behind. Everything was trashed. Floors covered in mud and grime, trash everywhere, air stenched with cigarettes, beer, and God knows what else. My childhood home. Reduced to a literal garbage dump by the father I had tried to forget. I knew it would be bad but I could have never predicted what I saw that day. It scarred me. This song does indeed match how I felt then.
This honestly is the feeling of life after highschool, same thing over and over, not changing, you feel a lingering sense of emptiness, you look into the mirror, you don't see yourself, you just see a husk that you see every day, tired, lonely, quiet, "just one more day" you tell yourself for the 257th day in a row.
When you realize just how alone you really are. No matter how many people ask you if you're okay...it still feels like you're completely alone in your own head. When the insomnia hits you and you're surrounded by everyone sleeping that's when you know...you're truly alone in this world. That's what this song feels like to me.
As cheesy as it sounds man there are a lot of people who feel that way too.. So when you're up at 3:30 AM staring at the ceiling with that feeling, just know that there's a whole lot of other people staring there too, thinking the same thing. You're not alone man.
And the fact that no one else could understand the feeling that drives you to keep going foward is terrifying. It feels like your chained to a dead body in a damp dungeon Yet you keep crawling to the small light you see at the end of the dark hall. But the truth is, for most people, you don't make it to that light.
When I listen to this music, I imagine being in a large abandoned city, the buildings resemble those of the Old West and appear to be made out of metal, like statues, and the landscape surrounding it is transitioning desert, with a looming sunset. This is one of the reasons why Yume Nikki is so great, this piece is just a few notes, (just as most of the Yume Nikki Soundtrack is) yet being so short, they have managed to capture a magnificent and poignant atmosphere unlike anything else. It truly does have that dreamlike phantasmagoria.
@@mercyryff1744 I honestly completely forgot that I wrote this comment, I'm not particularly impressed with my writing skills from back then, I'm debating on whether or not I should edit it or delete it. -edit, I edited it. **smiles like a chimpanzee**
I hate it to buddy, why do people like to spam just cause a random guy happened to play a song as background music. Kinda reminds me of the undertale soundtrack, most of the songs are amazing but people still just go "HaHa FuNnY bOnE mAn Go BrRrRrRr!!!!!!!" and only ever care about a single song
Ahh this place... I remember the first time I arrived there. Nothing was scary. It felt calm but it looks like a really poor neighborhood. The roofs and the walls seem to be made of galvanized steel sheet... on the middle of nowhere. There's "people" with holes on their faces that play a cute little tune when you talk to them. So lonely... I love it!
Imagine being a sleep and you wake up but everyone and everything is gone just you and you walk all over your town/city listening to complete emptiness not a complete sound just emptiness just completely alone and afraid.
POV: you see a hole creature on the street of your hometown, it has holes everywhere on its body. It looks friendly. It approaches you, confused. It stares at you, you feel scared yet kinda happy?.. He walks away, into the foggy mist. After you go back home, you are fairly confused in what merely happened. Later in your living room, you see it outside of your house, on your window. “Let me in, let me in.” Dont open the door: It stares right at you, confused why you aren’t letting you in.. It isn’t mad though, it knows you have a fear in its presence. It walks away. Do open the door: It would enter, moving into the kitchen. You are confused in why it’s doing this, yet you don’t want to bother it. It holds something. It’s a wire from the fridge. He looks at it confusingly. “That’s a wire to my fridge.” You say, hoping that it understands. It nods and puts the wire in the fridge. He comes up to you, and covers his hand in your face, so you can’t see. You wake up in bed, realizing that it was a dream. You feel someone tucking in your bed, it makes you feel more comfy, you look to see who it is. It’s the man from the dream. After tucking the bed, he exits the house, not yet to be seen again until 10 more years. 10 years later (part of Do open the door): He knocks on the door like a natural human being this time. He comes into the home to say hello after not seeing you after a long time. He walks into the kitchen and grabs the same wire from the fridge. “Was it really a dream?” You ask yourself. He walks out.
You might not see this, but I have to tell you. That was amazing, you wrote a short story that left me wanting more. That's what a good story is. It's perfect in the sense that it's strange. When you ask yourself: "Was it really a dream?", the creature simply walks out. No explanation, it just walks out. Or when the creature hold the fridge wire. Why a fridge wire? No reason, just because. This perfectly represents this song. The whole story represents it perfectly. Strange, confusing, like there's something that isn't right, yet it is peaceful, calming. The creature is scary, however it is friendly and it means no harm: Something isn't right but it's peaceful. It does strange things, as if it was discovering the normal world for the first time: Confusing, strange, but calming in its way of doing things.
You get invited by these kids at school to the mall later that night so you go but soon realize you got stood up after waiting for them for about 30 minutes. The mall is completely empty and silent. You sit in an empty massage chair, texting your mom but she says she won’t pick you up. Eventually your phone dies and you just sit there waiting, absorbed by loneliness and you’re thoughts in the empty mall, the only things keeping you company are a couple of mannequins in the glass windows of shops and the light music echoing throughout the mall.
This is, bar none, my favorite track in all of Yume Nikki. When I finally reached it in my Let's Play... god I must've spent what felt like an eternity on screen just listening to it and absorbing the atmosphere it provides. Such a great tune. One of the best, I'd say.
something i wrote after getting an idea from this: You wonder the halls, empty, devoid of any signs of life. Walking for what feels like forever, you see a sign- the exit. Hoping that it would lead somewhere better, you excitedly turn the handle and rush through, to be greeted by yet another desolate, barren landscape. An empty town. You recognise nothing yet feel nostalgic simultaneously. “What is this place? “ you ask yourself. You feel miserable and lonely, yet a creeping sense of dread; as if maybe you aren’t truly alone. Exploring as time went by, minutes to hours and hours to what felt like days. Out of the corner of your eye, you see it. A sad, pathetic creature hiding behind a building, watching you. Being the only alive thing you’ve seen in days, you approach it with uncertainty. As you draw closer, it disappears at your touch, leaving you alone once again, in this hell you are forever trapped in.
This whole area reminded me of a concentration camp. If you think about it, there are small homes packed tightly together with a fence surrounding the whole area. The creatures that inhabit this place are (kinda)human shaped, but dark grey- almost as if they were burnt until their skin was charred.
@@Hidenidentitytheres a ytber rn named idksterling and he always uses this song for his vids giving information about other weird videos , and if you know gen z , they make anything into a meme
@@HidenidentityGen Z will take everything over and manipulate the original to things we despise but things they desire. We cannot stop them all, Zubyra. Even if we try hard enough to stop them, their population is growing larger in seconds that we will be deemed too small to hold them off, and eventually our efforts will be all for nothing. It’s a lose-lose situation, and theres nothing we can do to stop it. 🎅🐡
This sounds like something that would play after a big, terrible event in somebody's life. What it feels like when it's all over, but it still doesn't feel like it truly is.
I really feel nostalgic from this song for some reason and then just imagine that you're thinking of uncomfortable places to be and then seeing an old 2000s bedroom with a small tv and toys but you feel mildly uncomfortable.
My friends sleep over every weekend, so this song gives me the feeling of Sunday, when all my friends have to go home and I'm stuck with the worries about my grades. If it weren't for the fact that I only see most of my friends in school, then I would feel like the loneliest person in the world. I like to be alone, just not lonely.
hey it's pretty ironic you're profile pic is the "zombie in the window" image! cause one of those "unnerving images with unnerving music" videos has that image with this song playing
Imagine you are in City 17 (pre uprising) and no one is there, no officers, no scanners, no nothing. You walk around exploring the newly abandoned C17 combine bases and you start to wonder if something is watching you like an owl, always hiding in the shadows watching you.
i hate when people say stuff like "oh this one guy from 2023 uses this song, lets all spam a bunch of random emojis to prove he owns it" or some BS like that
This is what I listen to when I'm sitting alone in my apartment living room while I mindlessly stare at a TV that's powered off while I drink a couple of bottles of beer and think about some shitty life decisions that I've made.
It's all good guys. This was seven years ago. I bought a decently big house and have a family lol I did make some shitty life decisions back then though.
man, this music just touches. yesterday i was alone at my house, no friends, no relations, nothing outside of the web... when this music started playing in my recomended tab, it just clicked. ...
this feels like when you wake up at like 2 am and you hear a weird sound but your mind is too cloudy to acknowledge it until your almost back to sleep to you just lie there completely still wondering what the sound could be until you inevitably fall asleep and forget about it in the morning
Yeah i don't think these people deserve to find out about yume nikki in my opinion. If anything they are the type of person to find the game boring or ruin the already fragile fandom
I think that’s really symbolic for no reason. Yume is just left behind, and this music, like the possessions she would have had, would just be taken and reused, then later discarded. As is life… And now hardly anyone knows the origin, a real shame.
This reminds me of the time I spent so much time at my desk doing nothing that I couldn't even walk and I felt like I needed to throw up but there was nothing to throw up. I felt physically and mentally empty, I almost felt like I was living in the body of a corpse.
makes me think that the creator of the game probably has went/is going through some shit, I think for someone to manage to compose a song that represents absolute misery so well this person has to know how it is to feel something like that.
Play this at night when everyone is asleep and just walk around your house. It doesn't necessarily make you feel creeped out, but, i can't even describe it. It's a hell of an experience.
