This whole song is actually a pretty good example of reincorporation! The original Love Psalm was an instrumental piece that played during the credits of the "Born From a Wish" segment of Silent Hill 2. If you recall the plot of SH2, Maria is actually an apparition created by Silent Hill to torture James for killing his wife. In essence, Maria is, well, Born from a Wish, James' desire to punish himself warps reality and creates a new person from nothing. It's only fitting then, that Love Psalm reappears in Book of Memories, which is a game about modifying reality based on your wishes and the dark consequences that can cause. Pretty good!
I kinda reinterpreted Maria's presence a little differently, but I love your take on it! I kinda thought she was a psuedo wet dream brought to life for James, a visage of his desire for what his wife could be, a sleazy tiger skirt adorned woman who manipulates the hell outta' him. Either way, great song 🍻
It's pretty fitting then that this song features both Troy Baker and Mary McGlynn since they voice James & Maria in SH2 HD which came out around the same time as BoM.
@@simpcatcher131yes7 She is, but she's also there to torture him. By having to watch his idealised version of Mary die over and over again no matter how hard he tries to save her, James is forced to face up to the reality that he killed her. Most of the enemies in SH2 have to do with James's sexual frustration and the revulsion James felt for Mary's disease by the end (ever checked out Mary's in game model from the In Water ending? Those skin textures man... jeez), and Maria represents his ideal fantasy version of Mary - sexy, flirty, mysterious and dependent on him to protect her. And no matter what he does, he can't ever save her.
Another way I like to see it, is that Maria actually was how Merry was when James was terribly in love with her, hence she was literally born from a wish, James wish to see his beloved Merry again.
Tom Hulett responded to a tweet of mine a few months back and he said it was a "pet idea" of his to rework one of the classic instrumentals into a fully vocalized song! It was also his way of sneaking Akira Yamaoka onto the game's OST
I really don't know why and don't understand How every SH soundtracks doesn't play on FM radios all around the world, include here in Brazil my country. They're wonderful songs.
I only recently started to listen to the Silent HIll soundtracks, and when I heard the original Love Psalm I could not shake the thought that this needs some lyrics. Now I realise this version exist, and the lyrics instantly got stuck in my head. Strong stuff.
Note that Akira did the solo for the song and has no problems with the remix. He also tours with the people involved in remixing and performing the song.

"Would you take back the pain and all the hurt we create, or could you be satisfied with the love that you made?" "And so we rewrite our lives but it's not what we think, in the chaos we dance as we stand on the brink, always one step away from making ourselves complete."
@@patrod2327 this is correct, almost all soundtracks have a song that use the theme of laura, even silent hill 1s main theme has a part of it in there too
The lyrics make me think of someone who just got out of a long and serious relationship, looking back and just trying to process it all. "Was it all worth it?" "Did any of it matter in the end?" "Was our love even real?" "Could I have done things differently?" "Should I have done things differently?" "Would our love have been worth saving at all?" "Would it have been better if we were never together in the first place?" I suppose this thought process could apply at least partly to SH2, albeit in a morbid way.
The melody belongs to Theme of Laura (If I'm not mistaken), this is a "remake" of Love Psalm, from SH2 OST. It's exactly that melody that marks the return of Akira in this specific song. It's like his signature.
No, Silent Hill, I can never take back memories about you, even if that means having to experience heartbreaks and all the hurt we create everytime I think of you. I wouldn't trade my love of you for the world. The world is perishing in flames now, and you have already long faded away. Farewell, but remember, I'm here and waiting for you, you crazy diamond!
This song is absolutely amazing, it is perhaps one of the best video game themes ever created, it reflects very well the Silent Hill games and what they represent, this banger needs a remaster.
Having actually played the game, I'm basically in love with it. I'm genuinely surprised by how much they managed to capture the spirit of the series into this unconvential spinoff. I highly recommend that anyone who doubts this game actually play the single-player mode for themselves.
Theme of Laura wasn't sampled in this song. The sample is from the theme from the first game, which was sampled again in Theme of Laura, Hell Frozen Rain and one song from Silent Hill 3 which I don't remeber right now.
I don't give a damn who wrote this track, what game it's in reference to, what production companies did what to what series. I have listened to this track at least 20 times in the last 7 hours and it keeps getting better. I, for one, am simply happy as any person should be to hear such an great track.
Troy did a good job with this too....I really need to listen to more of his music i think "My Religion" by him is great and that he and Akira Yamaoka and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn should make the soundtrack for the next Silent Hill
It was actually composed by Troy Baker, who does the backup vocals. Danial has done music for Book Of Memories and Downpour, though. He's an amazing composer
Beautiful music! While I'm not too keen on this chapter in the Silent Hill series, this musical theme is very strong and works with the storyline of the game quite well.
1. In all fairness, Silent Hill has very seldom used the appearance and attire of a character to inform of us of their story. It's happened, but it's happened so rarely that it's not a big loss in the face of drawing the player-character connection. 2. Maybe. If it makes you feel any better, the game DOES give us more details on things like the Order and their theology, and how the Otherworld appears to work when pressed into unfamiliar territory, which I appreciate.
This nightmare unfolds like a rose awakes to the spring Always so close to the sanity I'm trying to cling to I'm tearin' out the pages 'cause it hurts To be forced to feel the heart's break How much of this torture can I take? Is it not worth the risk to create Just one more try, I know that I can fix it
@@fernandpessina2878At best its a cheap rip off. Daniel's music doesn't have the soul Akira's does. Even the iconic riff feels off. Mechanical. Engineered
Ill never forget you..my love of 10 years...im so sorry for everything I did or didnt do, its hard to go on these days..but atleast I cant hurt you anymore..
Yeah, what you all say... I can guarantee that I know more than most of you together about Silent Hill. I liked the series since the release of the first Silent Hill, in 1999. And I'm a huge fan since, never stopped loving and searching things about the franchise, to know more and more. I've watched, read and listened every SH-related work within my possibilities: every game, every movie, every comic, every special event, and even every influential/inspirational work for the original creators.
Note that Akira Yamaoka is no longer the Silent Hill composer. This song only contains him as, let's say, "Special Guest", this song has nothing to do with Akira, except that it is a remix of his old "Love Psalm" from SH2 :) Arranged and produced by Troy Baker and Rob King Featured Vocals by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn Preformed by Eyeshine, featuring Akira Yamaoka Backup Vocals by Troy Baker Mixed by Rob king
Hey it's Daniel light. You know what's funny about this. Two things. One this probably came out right after downpour 2012 and the second reason light comes back from the ashes with his death note fixing every mistake he ever made for the better instead of for the worst, this book is different. This book is fixing every single mistake he ever made making the world a better place bringing back his dad, his girlfriend, misa his college girlfriend that all got trapped in the crossfires of the 37 episode death Note combined with silent Hill
So glad this song got a lyrical remix. Of all the songs in SH2, I thought this one seemed most suited for it. It's also my favorite, so I may be biased...
+Sergi Medina "Furthermore, if only 3 or 4 games of a franchise are good from a total of 9 or 10, is the franchise a good one? The majority of titles are crap! So it does matter..." Yeah, because the Godfather franchise just totally sucks doesn't it? Yet there is this mysterious force of nature that continues to propel the original film, the "99% of everyone who sees it loves it" entry in the franchise, to this status of "must see" that is so compelling that even people who generally hate watching movies end up watching it and loving it. Silent Hill has a SEQUEL that's comparably just as good in terms of well executed and beloved fiction. The original is such a masterpiece that they were able to take what was officially acknowledged as "the worst ending" from it and turn it into one of the best "re-imaginings" in the history of anything. Also possibly one of the best modern interpretations of the classic "survival horror experience". I think everyone who has played it has one of those "stayed up way too late in the dark because I really wanted to see where this story was going and OH GOD THEY'RE CHASING ME" memories that they share with their therapist at some point and then immediately stop going to therapy because they're also scared of their therapist now. It's precisely because of this sort of enduring legacy that, after several mediocre-at-best entries in the series as it continues to stagnate in the absence of Yamaoka, Konami has decided to bring in TWO other geniuses, one who excels at producing and directing video games, the other who excels at producing and directing "things like Silent Hill but they are movies instead of games yet somehow still manage to provide the same sorts of feelings and experiences as any fan of both will attest". I am in the "still needs involvement from Yamaoka and McGlynn" camp regarding the new game, but even without their presence I find it hard to believe I will give the game anything lower than "HNGH YEESSS" as a rating. Went to leave a comment and accidentally article. Oops.
3. Again, back to my second second point, that sounds awesome, it's just been badly packaged. 4. Within the first few minutes of the game: Valtiel shows up, The Mailman from Downpour shows up, and you're already within the Otherworld. It's already breaking canon with at least the first and last. And yes, gameplay did define much of SH:the horror, the drama, the connection with the bad fighting skills of the character, all immersed the player. Btw thanks for being civil, this is fun. XD
The story involves a book that uses the Order's magic to rewrite your memories and universe. If that's not a valid excuse to have the Otherworld break it's usual rules, I don't know what is. It's like rewriting a program while it's in the middle of executing. Shit's going to get weird.
If the love story was our journey with Silent Hill was the lovestory, would you be willing to rewrite it alongside erasing all the pain and suffering it had caused. What if you were given the chance to destroy the force that would eventually corrupt Silent Hil's ability to manifest human thought. What if you could save all the poor souls that wondered into that town, or into the other world? The characters wouldn't grow in person, but they would be spared an arduous journey by blood and darkness
Please respect each other. Everyone has different opinions about different subjects, and each one has to accept that, otherwise world would be made of robots. Keep it cool.
Yes, I know all that, but only because he tours with Mary and Troy doesn't mean he's the actual responsible for this song, that I personally like a lot. Konami are the ones anyone should blame if they dislike the song :)
By the way, Love Psalm in itself is a Silent Hill 2 Theme. A version without lyrics can be found on the soundtrack, but I don't remember when it plays in the game itself.
I collect Silent Hill games and even if this game will be shit i will still buy a PS Vita and play this game cos of the epic soundtrackhanks to Daniel Licht!
Stop hating. She didn't come up with the idea, people asked her. So she sings it. I like it, personally. She has a good voice. And what does it matter that you don't like this remix? Just listen to the original and stop putting up useless comments.
Shattered Memories was a fun change, and I love the music, but like the room, they shouldn't have pasted Silent Hill in the name and just made it a stand alone game. Still, I kinda like the mindfuck you got at the ending. =P
SH Book of M is not a bad game, the problem with that game was that we all of us wanted i need SH game and they offer us a dungeons style game. As a complement this game is not bad, but is not a SH
i finished book of memories a while ago. Not a bad game, but as a silent hill, it's pretty much an insult. No idea what they wanted to achieve with that one. This song is the best part of the game lol.
Hrmm... The Order still existed, despite a few of its leaders dying, another Alessa was created (meaning there was still a chance of the birth of God being achieved), and the cult itself is still shrouded in mystery. We aren't really given much information on them, and the things shared early on were misleading. We didn't know many of their doctrines, or what their "Paradise" was. Admittedly, 3 wasn't needed, but it wrapped up the game's story very nicely.
4. Let's start with the established canon that monsters appear differently to different people. In 2, no one could see PH (or Maria for that matter) because they stemmed from something unique to James's story. Now, apply that to 3's Valtiel. Valtiel was unique in that case because he was a manifestation of a caregiver, or birthmother. He was there to help instigate the birth of "God", but now he's just randomly at the beginning of the dungeon for some teenager who has nothing to do with "God
Oh.My.God. You know what I just realized? This would have been an awsome chance for Konami to breach reality. If this song was instead directed towards the relationship between the player (not the player character itself mind you) and the series as a whole this whole premise for time travel could have been redone intirely. What if you were given a chance to help the protagonist of each, given the chance to help them find peace or avoid the conflict that silent hill brought on entirely? Would u?
There is a hidden "easter egg" or what one might call it in this video. The text "Music composed by Daniel Licht" slowly fades in and out during the video.

All of this music was composed by Danial Licht? Wasn't he the guy that helped make Honor For All in Dishonored? It makes so much sense now...
It was actually composed by Troy Baker, who does the backup vocals. Danial has done music for Book Of Memories and Downpour, though. He's an amazing composer
This song's by Akira Yamaoka though.
The original version of the Love Psalm was by Akira Yamaoka, this Is basically a remix.
It was written by Akira Yamaoka for Silent Hill 2, he also did the guitar solo in this version.

The original is such a masterpiece that they were able to take what was officially acknowledged as "the worst ending" from it and turn it into one of the best "re-imaginings" in the history of anything. Also possibly one of the best modern interpretations of the classic "survival horror experience". I think everyone who has played it has one of those "stayed up way too late in the dark because I really wanted to see where this story was going and OH GOD THEY'RE CHASING ME" memories that they share with their therapist at some point and then immediately stop going to therapy because they're also scared of their therapist now.
It's precisely because of this sort of enduring legacy that, after several mediocre-at-best entries in the series as it continues to stagnate in the absence of Yamaoka, Konami has decided to bring in TWO other geniuses, one who excels at producing and directing video games, the other who excels at producing and directing "things like Silent Hill but they are movies instead of games yet somehow still manage to provide the same sorts of feelings and experiences as any fan of both will attest".
I am in the "still needs involvement from Yamaoka and McGlynn" camp regarding the new game, but even without their presence I find it hard to believe I will give the game anything lower than "HNGH YEESSS" as a rating.
Went to leave a comment and accidentally article. Oops.
but there's no game like silent hill
Great soundtrack
OMG! I LOVE THIS SONG!!
3. Again, back to my second second point, that sounds awesome, it's just been badly packaged.
4. Within the first few minutes of the game: Valtiel shows up, The Mailman from Downpour shows up, and you're already within the Otherworld. It's already breaking canon with at least the first and last. And yes, gameplay did define much of SH:the horror, the drama, the connection with the bad fighting skills of the character, all immersed the player.
Btw thanks for being civil, this is fun. XD
The story involves a book that uses the Order's magic to rewrite your memories and universe. If that's not a valid excuse to have the Otherworld break it's usual rules, I don't know what is. It's like rewriting a program while it's in the middle of executing. Shit's going to get weird.
Maybe it foreshadows Gravity Falls's weirdmaggedon?
I remembered this song like 3 hours ago I last listened to it about 7 years ago hh
Troy Baker rocks dude!
I actually see james and mary's love story in the lyrics
If the love story was our journey with Silent Hill was the lovestory, would you be willing to rewrite it alongside erasing all the pain and suffering it had caused. What if you were given the chance to destroy the force that would eventually corrupt Silent Hil's ability to manifest human thought. What if you could save all the poor souls that wondered into that town, or into the other world? The characters wouldn't grow in person, but they would be spared an arduous journey by blood and darkness
the game was trash but damn this is an amazing ost
Sempre volto para escutar essa musica ^^
Eu também
Uma pena não ter no Spotify
I hope Eyeshine does more of this kind stuff in Revolution Airwaves!
Nice vid.
Please respect each other. Everyone has different opinions about different subjects, and each one has to accept that, otherwise world would be made of robots. Keep it cool.
Yes, I know all that, but only because he tours with Mary and Troy doesn't mean he's the actual responsible for this song, that I personally like a lot. Konami are the ones anyone should blame if they dislike the song :)
By the way, Love Psalm in itself is a Silent Hill 2 Theme. A version without lyrics can be found on the soundtrack, but I don't remember when it plays in the game itself.
It plays at the ending of the Born from a Wish scenario of Maria in the Director's Cut, or the base PC version
I collect Silent Hill games and even if this game will be shit i will still buy a PS Vita and play this game cos of the epic soundtrackhanks to Daniel Licht!
RIP Daniel
Stop hating. She didn't come up with the idea, people asked her. So she sings it. I like it, personally. She has a good voice. And what does it matter that you don't like this remix? Just listen to the original and stop putting up useless comments.
loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee thiis song
It is played on the credits of Maria's Born From A Wish scenario
Shattered Memories was a fun change, and I love the music, but like the room, they shouldn't have pasted Silent Hill in the name and just made it a stand alone game. Still, I kinda like the mindfuck you got at the ending. =P
SH Book of M is not a bad game, the problem with that game was that we all of us wanted i need SH game and they offer us a dungeons style game. As a complement this game is not bad, but is not a SH
i finished book of memories a while ago. Not a bad game, but as a silent hill, it's pretty much an insult. No idea what they wanted to achieve with that one. This song is the best part of the game lol.
Hrmm... The Order still existed, despite a few of its leaders dying, another Alessa was created (meaning there was still a chance of the birth of God being achieved), and the cult itself is still shrouded in mystery. We aren't really given much information on them, and the things shared early on were misleading. We didn't know many of their doctrines, or what their "Paradise" was. Admittedly, 3 wasn't needed, but it wrapped up the game's story very nicely.
That's because he helped write a lot of it.
I wish a song this badass went to a better game.
I have no idea why but they recently removed this from spotify...
Yeah. UA-cam doesn't really like it either for some reason.
@@Rainpelt100 i wonder if the tune or lyrics are copyright of some other song somehow.
Was it ever on spotify, I could never find it
@@silentkonami8056 it was! It was the start to a Playlist for years for me
@@brad3950 omfg I was looking for the song for years fmlllll
the only reason im glad they keep releasing sh games is because the soundtracks are amazing.
Mary Elizabeth is a goddess.
4. Let's start with the established canon that monsters appear differently to different people. In 2, no one could see PH (or Maria for that matter) because they stemmed from something unique to James's story. Now, apply that to 3's Valtiel. Valtiel was unique in that case because he was a manifestation of a caregiver, or birthmother. He was there to help instigate the birth of "God", but now he's just randomly at the beginning of the dungeon for some teenager who has nothing to do with "God
Very good
Oh.My.God. You know what I just realized? This would have been an awsome chance for Konami to breach reality. If this song was instead directed towards the relationship between the player (not the player character itself mind you) and the series as a whole this whole premise for time travel could have been redone intirely.
What if you were given a chance to help the protagonist of each, given the chance to help them find peace or avoid the conflict that silent hill brought on entirely? Would u?
Eyeshine keeps saying how they need to get their music onto an awesome movie soundtrack. This SO needs to be in Silent Hill: Revelation 3D!
This song I believe is just a re-done song from Silent Hill 2. Meaning Lyrics added. And more heavy.
Some these songs from silent hill needs a full live action music video
There is a hidden "easter egg" or what one might call it in this video. The text "Music composed by Daniel Licht" slowly fades in and out during the video.
