A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.
PC
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
Totems of the Grizzlemaw (Grizzly Hills)
I love the hurdy gurdy instrument.
Holy shit, when this came up in the playlist I thought I'd accidentally clicked on a classical music video. It sounds very late-19th Century\early-20th Centuryish. Great job on the part of both the composer and the players!
Holy shit, I heard this song and started crying. The memories of being a 13 year old and waking up early on winter mornings before school so I could play the game :(
I keep thinking this is in a different game. So good!
my girlfriend loves this theme, even tho she doesnt like wow
grizzly hills isnt the best because 1) storm peaks while all of northrends design was amazing i have to say the storm peaks is the most immersive and captures the barren iceland feel perfectly
i have to agree,that was lame.i only listen to something else than the game music if i'm getting bored of it because of training.
That bassoon solo... <3
Indeed
Oh man, I wish I didn't turn off my in game music so I can listen to techno now...
Sadly epic ! ;(
I think the biggest disappointment for me is that the first two minutes is really quite lovely but after that, I just want to turn it off because it completely changes tone and becomes obnoxious.
Grizzly Hills and Nagrand! (Mulgore too :p)
This is easily my favorite song from this game. I love the ambiance the game could set with the music based on the zone you were in.
This is without doubt my favorite theme from all the add-ons+the main game. Really, they should use the violin much more often like this!
rofl rofl vintage :D
VINTAGE Game Music.... WoW is not Vintage and not even worth to be on this list!
BeyondR Where did you read vintage?...
ahhh, the good old days when wow i enjoyed wow (for a few reasons that i dont feel like going into), imo the expansion i enjoyed the most
so that's what that sound was coming from at 0:04!! i was wondering for the longest time if it was my headphones or my computer making that strange noise
The beginning brings out nostalgia so heavy that it hurts...yet I can't stop listening to it :(
I tend to cry when I'm listening to this on my home cinema system. It's just so...beautiful... ~<3 You know, if Blizzard is bad at one thing, then it's DEFINITELY NOT the music of their games! PERIOD.
@SupraDarky Always look at Blizzard's games for fantastic music. I may not like every game they made, but the music... amazing.
1:14 Makes me think about Lord of The Rings
I think I just reached Nirvana.
Dwarven lore, free roaming horses, stone giants, friggin were wolves, forests and snow. I love the Grizzly Hills.
Really the Best Ever!
Sorry, but this doesn't sit well with me. I admit, i'd love to hear something like this while playing, but the song as a whole sounds pretty recycled...
Its quite beautiful
@OuidaHarrald651 omg, even advertising scam on youtube vids.. omg
I have my hearthstone set to somewhere in here so whenever I need peace from all the chaos, i come here and just fly around, beautiful scenery for a game and an amazing piece of music to go with it.
@littledude4eva They do. It comes with the purchase of the Special Edition of World of Warcraft. :)
Clearly I'm too busy collecting 12 Penguin Gizzards to appreciate this music.
@littledude4eva You can buy the soundtrack on itunes for 10-12 dollars.
@JacobHobbins Ahh really?, is there any chance i can just buy the CD on its own?
@littledude4eva They have, but you would need to get the collectors edition of the specific expansion pack, in this case Wrath of the Lich King
Lol, It's a tree. A fallen tree..
anybody noticed the mountain in the background is not finished and you can see right through it. strange :-|
Where is Mankriks's wife?
The start of it sounds like a track you'd find in Zelda, its a pitty you rarely hear masterpieces like this in WoW zones.
Blizzard should make an album of the wow music, because some of it is just so....beautiful
don't say such scary things
the beginning sounds like the winds of poseidon
The correct english name of the instrument would be Keyed Fiddle, i believe. Though you are right. Nyckelharpa it is :D
This song is best heard when inside Nordrassil where the Grizzlemaw used cohabitat, especially sitting on the edge right beside the honeycomb lanterns.
Indeed, I know all too many people that never would be caught alive listening to WoW OST, tis' sad :(
Uhm, yes.
You mean that fallen giant world-tree that failed to grow? ;>
bootleg
Myślę że Twój stary :/ I hate when people comment in their languages so noone can understand them. Especially idiots from Poland (yes, yes i live there) who write insults just because it's fun and they can feel great. Damned morons.
I've long since quit playing the increasingly boring WoW, but I have to admit that the soundtrack is, in most cases, excellent. This track is proof of that. By far my favorite in the game. Truly a masterpiece that really gives off that wilderness vibe. And Grizzly Hills was my favorite zone anyway.
Incredible song! It captures the beauty and nature of the area, just amazing.
That mountain looks epic, good job Blizzard, good fucking job.
how about we dont and say we did? eh mr spammer?
i like it because it realy sounds like an traditional piece ^^
Lmao, wow... 8 negatives for commenting that diablo music was better... Its an opinion its not like im shouting abuse :)
i like it.
If you want WMG to resign their contract with youtube, If you want to be able to make videos without them getting deleted, If you want to be able to listen to music on youtube again, If you want to fix youtube and make it the way it used to be, COPY AND PASTE THIS
This song... I can just relax to, and let my troubles just melt away
WHAT ABOUT BARRENS MUSIC XD?!
I love this song. Probably one of my favorites from the game's soundtrack. This just has a very woody, natural and overall beautiful feel to it. I can see trees and a forest living and growing once I hear this. Its serene. A brief bit of peace in a continent literally covered in Death. I love that the song becomes a different piece at about the 1:58 mark. I just wish I could have stayed in the zone longer. Thanks for posting this and other great music.
best wow songn of all ages !
Diablo music was better :P
Usually i'd yeel WORLD OF WARCRAFT SUCKS COCK!!!! PLAY RUNESCAPE IT'S RIP OFF FROM RUNESCAPE!! but this is too beautifull and i'v started to play the game non-online lol
gief more skreenshots denn instead of 1 piece of grizllylyl hills
In my opinion are the WoW soundtracks highly overrated but this track (or these tracks) are really good and I enjoy the second part much.
such a nice nyckelharpa in there!
Indeed! Very peaceful. Definitely a big favorite of mine.
Wow, this is a great song. I've never really advocated World of Warcraft, but this is fantastic.
grizzly hills is nice, but the by far most epic area is further north.. when powerleveveling me and my friend were completely alone in storm peaks, and it was so amazing... vast.. empty.. frozen.. just the most epic scenery in the game so far.
This is BY FAR my favorite zone ingame. The atmosphere is just grand, especially with this awesome track in the background.
i have had my sound settings turned off on wow for to long. i had no idea what i was missing
Grizzly Hills indeed got some really sweet musictracks which fit with the zone and also the transition from hilly green grass fields to cold snow
Im speaking about music in general.. not just world of warcraft. never once did i say specifically world of warcraft, and besides im defending someone else not myself..lol
Vordrassils Limb i think
I think iTunes has it
Take a step back, kiddo. You're crying at world of warcraft music. Crying. At music. From World of Warcraft.
If you're the one crying at this, I'd have to say you're the "flamer"
Beautiful music can make people cry leave youtube Mr. Flamer
Oh man, you have just such a hard goddamn like, don't you kiddo? Stop crying.
Hellfire Peninsula, prove me wrong
Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised a WoW track made the list! :) Grizzly Hills is one of my favorite zones in WotLK.
No. That would be the slightly obsessed player. Or the player with nothing to do.
I've played WoW for a few minutes at a friend's once, and it was alright. I don't to get myself hooked, since I prefer trying out many different console games instead. My comp wouldn't be able to handle WoW anyways, and I can't afford a new one.
Amen to that brother, I love the amount of effort Blizz finally put into their music specifically WOTLK, some of these tracks make me shed a tear at times. The storytelling is just as great too, some of them being really emerse, I just love it!
A lot of this music is more emotional than previous WoW soundtracks. There are some decent ones in WoW classic and Burning Crusade, IMO. Blizz definetly put more effort into WOTLK's music, as well as storytelling. Suppose I'm a bit of a fanboy though, playing since about the time of the AQ war.
im a casual WoW player, I spend like 1-2 hours tops, I've been playing for 1 month tops and im lvl 50, so I dont think you have to be hardcore to be good in WoW
Well I'm very glad to hear(read) that this had such an effect on you! Good and peaceful music can definitely help when you're having a difficult day.
I like WoW's music, but I can't stand the game, lol. There really wasn't ANY point to the hundreds of hours I invested in it...
I play it casually and enjoy it. :)
Wow you bought the collectors edition? Anyway, it's a surprise that YOU play WoW
wow man, didn't know you played WoW!
This music really makes me want to kill some monsters!!! NO WAI, just kidding! It makes me want to fall asleep under a tree branch on a sunny day with my trusty dog next to me and a butterfly on my nose, and a gentle breeze tenderly caressing my face.
its great :)
Really nice ambient, great for background music.
