I've been using this playlist for 8 years so far. Started using it during my games modeling course at college 2013-2015, then all through my 3d modeling degree at uni 2015-2018, and continued to use it since then whilst at work as a 3D artist. This playlist has become the theme tune of my career.
It's sad that people have all the video game music in the world at their fingertips -- including all these great compilation videos organized and timestamped for our pleasure -- yet so many of them just bitch about it. It's mind blowing to me. In this case, someone puts together a five hour playlist of quality, relaxing video game music, and a good portion of the comments are complaints about what wasn't included. Well, what do you want him to do? Extend it to a 50000 hour playlist so he can include every possible song that someone might want? Even then people would STILL point out the shit that supposedly needs to be on the list.
People on the internet, for the most part, are entitled little shitbags. They wanna try living in North Korea, they'd soon be grateful for their free access internet!
You shouldn't have wasted your comment on such people, my friend. It's just how the world of the spoiled is made; no matter how hard you try, there will always be those that won't like it and complain. To those there is only one possible answer: "I'm sorry that my hard work offends you and your tastes, but there is a simple solution for your problem: if you want it to your tastes, do it yourself or pay someone to do it for you." Pisses them off, but you will keep your dignity and stand above their pety whining.
its kinda like getting mad at a fail video on UA-cam for not carrying the latest Justin Bieber news... Like if you want a certain something, don't go looking for something else...
Good spirit, of excellency mind me, to good fortune, for one and for all! (Yes, "wealth is meant, to serve a need, devoid of avarice, and greed [wealth is found, inside the soul.")
I've been using this as background music when I'm doing college work or 3D work for the past 2 years now and will probably continue coming to it throughout uni :P
Happy belated 10th birthday, playlist! I can't believe you turned 10 yesterday. Babies born the day you released are learning complex math and talking back to their parents. That's insane.
It’s fantastic because a lot of the music in this playlist is literally my childhood. Metroid prime, Xenoblade, prince of Persia, ratchet and clank, halo, I could absolutely go on. I just recently found this and it’s my new go to for background music while I work!
I listen to this when I do homework and IT'S FUCKING HEAVENLY. I mean the soothing nature of the music just gets me into the flow and within a few hours I'm done and asleep, even though I'm casually bullshitting an assignment right now... Well that's logic at it's best.
Nice taste bro, got a feels overload when I heard Astral Observatory. I loved that as a kid. It's crazy how some people still think video games are a waste of time and have no value. This is art. A big portion of this playlist could be played on a classical music radio station and no one would be able to distinguish it from the other music. I mean the insane amount of detail and work that goes into the storyline and world and soundtrack of games like Zelda and Skyrim is just amazing. Modern games are to old arcade games as the Mona Lisa is to cave paintings.
jaientenduunevoix726 Yes, I said the same thing, I dont watch much tv, I almost all everyday studyng, but also in my brake times, I play video games, with my friends in online, But the most thing I do is go to a channel well they have a channel with smoth electro music and spa channel, I was saing why dont they make a channel with games musical and epic music, because they are the best.
This is the playlist that started my dream of becoming a game developer! Now I’m in college, working on games for well-known game companies. I love this playlist!
Obviously a lot of work has gone into the making of this compilation: over 5 hours of listening to music, choosing the best songs, arranging them in order, and finding pictures for each song. This deserves a lot more praise and views than it has. Good job. P.S. Another thing I like is that the title is not in all caps like some compilations, and it is nice having a regular title for this.
Hexnus I disagree, i think that it can be what ever a person wants it to be. That's what makes this music so great. Just let your own imagination wander.
Ive been listening to this since the beginning of my undergraduate career. I am now a full blown physician assistant. Thank you so much for this compilation and being able to keep it up!
Not only are you familiar with five hours worth of any music, but five hours worth of VIDEO GAME music, and from dozens of games, selected tracks of which are ALL melodic, moving, and outright excellent (so you have to be musically attentive and experienced), and you needed access to all these tracks, needed to take time to label the start time for each one, as well as each track's name, game, and COMPOSER, not to mention the editing, rearranging, and choice work that was involved!!! Only half a million views? I for one commend you, and hope for a lot of great stuff from you and for you in the future. Awesome, awesome job.
I've been putting this music on before I go to bed for about a week now and I've been falling asleep in about 10 minutes or less which is AMAZING! I have intense Insomnia and this stuff helps me so much! Thank you!
I've been doing this kind of thing for years. I have a playlist 9GB long on an older ipod. Been mostly Final Fantasy and Resident Evil but damn it helps on those nights when the insomnia is bad.
Fintile 2012 lmao, same here. listening to FF soundtracks while trying to sleep :) i had resident evil in it too, but not that long, trying to sleep at the boss themes is kinda... weird ^^
I guess Im asking randomly but does someone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost the password. I love any tips you can offer me
I found this playlist when I was about 13 years old. Some of the games on here I’ve never played but there’s not a single skip here. I’m glad I found this again. Love all
I love listening to this at work. Jobs are bullshit. (most all of them) I'd rather be curled up on my couch with some snacks and a bowl, playing the games I love. Instead, here I am pecking away at a keyboard. At least I can jam to some classic tunes. Thanks, DT Jackson!
+Richard Krzyzanski Ever tried to turn you hobby into your job? Even though its not paying off that well, I really enjoy what I am doing. I am going to spent at least 45 years working, which is more than half a mans life. So better spent time doing something you actually enjoy, then donating your life to boredom.
I have the easiest job in the world. I sell cars at a dealership that does honest business. To whine about it seems kind of selfish, but still.... I feel like we as humans aren't meant to work. it's unnatural.
+Richard Krzyzanski I'm perfectly happy to live gaming day by day, doing some odd jobs here and there and selling stuff online to get by, going out to free food places to save money for rent. It ain't much, but it beats pumping gas or flipping burgers, and perhaps once I have a working microphone I could start a let's play channel or something like that. People might dismiss my lifestyle as ''lazy'', but I don't really care :P When I actually do ''work'', this music is what fuels me :)
+Richard Krzyzanski - It is because your work isn't what you want to do. If you want to play games you can try to make it your job. Create UA-cam Videos or Stream yourself. Or go in a Testing Games company that finds bugs in new games !
I would pay big money for a DT Jackson V2 of relaxing VGM. You wont believe how much this video means to me man. Keep coming back to it after all these years, you're the best thank you.
I just zoned out into a book while listening to this, amazing stuff. I loved all of the Zelda, Metroid, and Paper Mario songs; it was a perfect kind of peaceful nostalgia.
I just gotta stop by and say thank you. I listen to it when doing homework, and on my looping site(listenonrepeat) I see that I have repeated this exactly 23 times so far, which is 115 hours of solid homework. Which is...depressing. But I'm thankful nonetheless! This got me through my first year of college; now I'm hoping to continue that trend and use it for my second year! Thank you.
I've been listening to this specific playlist for about six years now. It's gotten me through half of high school and now over half of college. Thank you to whoever you are DT Jackson :)
Man, people like you should stick around longer...these songs brings out the peace in anyone and reminds me why I became a gamer. So pretty of these makers...thanks for the video man.
1:45:27 I remember as a high schooler hearing this and just crying tears of nostalgia. Ocarina of Time is one of my favorite games of all time and it helped shape me into who I am today. When I heard the Temple of Time music after stepping through that portal in Twilight Princess...just wow. I stood in there for awhile just listening, :)
I'm really greatful that this playlist still here, i started to use it while i was studying architecture, almost ten years later, here i am with my own office using it any chance i can. Thanks to the OP for everything, you made my stressfull times way easier
9 years and I still listen to this annually while studying, cleaning, relaxing. So many good memories with many of these games. Thank you for putting this together. It's become a regular part of my life.

this is seriously the best thing to study/do homework to. our brains are already used to this as background music, so it doesn't negatively affect your absorption of the material, but yet it gives you such a great feeling as you're working because video game music is so spectacular
May this wonderful mix of music never be removed from youtube its one of my atmospheric mixes to chill to drive to what ever the occasion. Thank you for putting an awesome mix of music together.
I can't focus too much when I'm listening to music, nor when I've been doing work in silence for too long, but for some reason, my ultimate point of concentration is after listening to music for a while and then turning it off.
I first used this playlist when I was studying for my degree a couple of years ago. Now I am a graduate and I play this at work to drown out my disgusting colleagues sniffing and coughing every 2 minutes. The guy who uploaded this has no idea how grateful I am for this upload. First it gets me through university, now the world of work!
This video has a very high sentimental value for me, I have seen it many times either to study or to think, I have memories of some games and people that were very important in my life. the truth when they knocked him down I felt sad and those memories are linked to this music in part it is something a little sad and beautiful to remember
I love this playlist; I have listened to it multiple times now. Great Job!! Though I gotta say, even though I have never played a Halo game before (never owned an Xbox), those games have some of the BEST music I have ever heard.
abuseurpublic The games are decent, I mean good but not transcending, but the lore is great, for a game that is basically revolving around shooting aliens to defend Earth. They took that very unoriginal setting and made it great. Even in the first game, by the way it begins you can tell that a lot of work was put into creating a good backstory.
MrDeku73 If you have an Xbox, you should try it :). Relatively speaking, I'm new to the series. It has a really epic storyline, memorable characters, fun gameplay, badass music, and beautiful locations. I'd start with Reach, then go to CE from there.
MrDeku73 Don't worry! I have a PS3 and have Destiny! Martin makes songs on the game! Like search for: Destiny Soundtrack or my favorite song from the game is: Destiny - Excerpt from the Ecstasy.
If you don't play the games, listen to the soundtracks. Halos 1,2,3,ODST, and reach have amazing soundtracks! Martin O'donnel and Micheal Salvatori are amazing artists!
Scarthor twilight princess was excellent but personally nothing trumps the windwaker in my book. Another one that's underrated. too many people are about a link to the past.
Bizarro Kira it's because link to the past was just after zelda 2, so people were happy to go back to the first "classic" zelda gameplay, seeing that the second game was hard as fvck
MoreFunAndGame Link to the Past was a fun game don't get me wrong. I just think people pay too much attention to it when there are better Zelda games out there.
2:40:50, Snowpeak to Snowman, JUST an example (of so many) of how excellent this mix is. THANK YOU. Much thought went into this, apparently. I have been listening to this for over a year; it's my "work music", as I sit in my office typing reports, looking out the window, listening to memories. THANK YOU. I hope YOU, creator, read this appreciation.
Thanks for taking the time to write out each song and it's source. I know it must have taken a lot of effort, but it really makes it easier for us to enjoy them. Thanks!
I've been listening to this soundtrack for a little over 2 years now in university. I started midway through my degree and now I'm studying honours. Thank you for this playlist, it has got me through a LOT of sleepless nights and long study and writing sessions!
i read somewhere that listening to game soundtracks is good for studying,I usually study in silence or use classical music (cos thats supposed to help too - it doesn't) so i tried this out and I'm actually studying well, I'm glad I have found this in time for exam season lol ^.^
E.L.F. Idk Yes, is really good music to consentrate and feel peace around you, like for example this song, from Zelda game. I love listend to music like this one to read and study, like I am do en now, I am studing and listening to this music, ja ja j. ^_^
E.L.F. Idk I suppose this is because game music is especially designed to not be distracting and rather enhance the experience of whatever happens in the game. Whereas classical music for example is good for just listen and concentrate on what happens in the music wich can be really relaxing if you do nothing else, game music does not force you to pay attention to it and is still good for setting a relaxed and concentrated mood^^ I tried classical music for working, too and it turned out I'd rather stop working to listen to the music x)
***** It's been a long time I listen to video game music because I think like many people here: it's very nice for doing homework .. Indeed it's really relaxing, but I'd never thought about what could be the reason .. ^^ 'But what you say makes a lot of sense actually !! ^^ Thanks dude, I'll sleep less stupid tonight !! ;)
Single best playlist I've ever found for studying. Have listened probably twice a month for about 8 years. Thank you so much for the focus you've brought me!
Yep, I get the chills when I listen to zelda music. Especially the twilight zone. Eh.... Don't think I will sleep tonight. Too scared ZANT is under my bed :(
Whew. I was having a pretty bad day and was looking for some way to relax, something that no form of entertainment managed to do. Then I opened this and, in all seriousness, immediately felt myself calm down. Music really is powerful.
i listen to this music when im trying to concentrate and it helps a lot, i have a lot of concentration problems and i get distracted really easily, but this helps a lot. so thank you
Starting using this playlist as background music at work in 2015, now im using it to sleep my baby girl 7 years later (and works fine!). Thanks for this awesome playlist.
Just thought I'd let you know, 6 years later and this is still my go to video for productivity time. Thanks for getting me through both the last two years of high school and all of my undergraduate studies!
A deep sense of nostalgia overwhelmed me as the smash music reminded me of my elementary days with my elementary friends playing brawl and so much more
And again, I find myself coming back to this wonderful compilation whilst doing some grinding. Good to see that this hasn't been taken down in all these years.
Funny how songs that are made to be a bit scary end up being very relaxing. I love listening to them while in the train, it makes everything seems so unreal.
I just started to learn for my test tomorrow and this video really helps. Thank you! I think, from now on, i'll always listen to this while studying. :)
this is my favorite thing. i just really appreciate that the image changes with each song to the correct game/whatever it comes from and also that literally all of the music is listed with the times in the desc. bless.
Whether it be The Legend of Zelda, Battlefield, Final Fantasy, Halo, Mario, Call of Duty, League of Legends, and so on. We will always experience the beautiful memories of the game and the music each series holds.
I've been using this playlist for 8 years so far. Started using it during my games modeling course at college 2013-2015, then all through my 3d modeling degree at uni 2015-2018, and continued to use it since then whilst at work as a 3D artist. This playlist has become the theme tune of my career.
It's also incredible to see the creator still seeing and liking these comments 8 years after it's been posted.
That’s great man, go you dude!! :D
i love you. just know that my lil nigga
wow... I'm literally using this playlist for my modelling assignment in college right now too man. Good playlist!
What an incredible recommendation. I never played AC, I was leaving… I think I’ll stay.
10 years later and this is still the best relaxing video game music playlist on UA-cam
No kidding! Definitely want to see another one made soon. Then I can get a playlist together to get me through an entire work day 😁
It's sad that people have all the video game music in the world at their fingertips -- including all these great compilation videos organized and timestamped for our pleasure -- yet so many of them just bitch about it.

I could not agree more. It's on every feakin' compilation of anything. Entitled whiners.
You shouldn't have wasted your comment on such people, my friend. It's just how the world of the spoiled is made; no matter how hard you try, there will always be those that won't like it and complain. To those there is only one possible answer:

Pisses them off, but you will keep your dignity and stand above their pety whining.
IMHO, if you don't like it or you think its missing something you make your own, and not complain at someone about their work.
its kinda like getting mad at a fail video on UA-cam for not carrying the latest Justin Bieber news... Like if you want a certain something, don't go looking for something else...
Yes! Finally a place where someone acknowledges the work of Kenji Yamamoto in the Metroid Prime games.
The amount of Metroid Prime music there is makes me very very happy. Some of the best VG music of all time imo.
***** Silent Hill has the most eerie and beautiful sound tracks i've ever heard.
Phendrana drifts is just magical!
I can't believe it's been 10 years now! i remember when i first found this video and it was 2 years old at that point!
This makes me want to live in a cabin in the woods as a strange hermit who swore off violence.
Good spirit, of excellency mind me, to good fortune, for one and for all! (Yes, "wealth is meant, to serve a need, devoid of avarice, and greed [wealth is found, inside the soul.")
I've been using this as background music when I'm doing college work or 3D work for the past 2 years now and will probably continue coming to it throughout uni :P
Red Jester 3D work?
3D modeling :)
Red Jester like for vocaloid? that kinda stuff? :OOO
like creating the 3D models/meshes that are used in video games :)
Red Jester that's so cool :O
Happy belated 10th birthday, playlist! I can't believe you turned 10 yesterday. Babies born the day you released are learning complex math and talking back to their parents. That's insane.
It’s fantastic because a lot of the music in this playlist is literally my childhood. Metroid prime, Xenoblade, prince of Persia, ratchet and clank, halo, I could absolutely go on. I just recently found this and it’s my new go to for background music while I work!

Yup, hehe~
im doing my homework to lol and its SO BORING but the music makes it not boring lolz
you mean Loz
nope i mean lolz i have my loling ways
hard to believe 5 hours has gone past every time I get to the end of this.
Getting me through my final college essays. Gaming without the actual gaming. Calming the nerves.
Nice taste bro, got a feels overload when I heard Astral Observatory. I loved that as a kid. It's crazy how some people still think video games are a waste of time and have no value. This is art.

+atticusfn yeah I love Astral Observatory even though I never played the game, been playing it on repeat and now I just saw your comment.
This is the playlist that started my dream of becoming a game developer! Now I’m in college, working on games for well-known game companies. I love this playlist!

@@CamelxXxYogurt Pretty impressive it hasn't been demonized in about 6 years 😳
tried using this to sleep but theres so many good tracks i kept being like yeeeee
Hilarious comment
Skip to the end then hit reply that will normally delete all the ads
For myself the best music not is created by a pop star ,are created by the world of video games
Agreed, VGM is one place where music can be whatever it wants to be, not what others want it to be.
Hexnus I disagree, i think that it can be what ever a person wants it to be. That's what makes this music so great. Just let your own imagination wander.
thats more or less what i said, Music is a extension of the person who weaves it, that in turn extends to the viewers.
I find that no matter what game it is, there's always one song that I really love, regardless of what the game is.
I couldn't agree with you more. :) Video game music is so diverse and can become anything. The possibilities of video games are endless.
Faron Woods creeped the hell out of me a few years ago, otherwise I would have stayed there more often. It's so cool.
Ive been listening to this since the beginning of my undergraduate career. I am now a full blown physician assistant. Thank you so much for this compilation and being able to keep it up!

Only half a million views? I for one commend you, and hope for a lot of great stuff from you and for you in the future.
Awesome, awesome job.
I'm quite happy with how much Halo there is in this.
I've been putting this music on before I go to bed for about a week now and I've been falling asleep in about 10 minutes or less which is AMAZING! I have intense Insomnia and this stuff helps me so much! Thank you!
Right!! This helped me so much! I usually take 30-45 minutes to just fall to sleep, but when i put this music i just instantly sleep :D
Daniel Alvarado
I've been doing this kind of thing for years. I have a playlist 9GB long on an older ipod. Been mostly Final Fantasy and Resident Evil but damn it helps on those nights when the insomnia is bad.

This makes Calculus enjoyable :O
Also doing architecture projects!
Architecture for the win! :D *goes back to rhino rendering for tomorrows review*
Tamer Khalil I FEEL YOU!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
You've done a great a service to people by compiling this, someone will have a world changing idea while laxing or working to this.
I'm currently using it for relaxtion techniques after having a recent bad mental health patch. So its doing some good certainly ^_^
I've been using this for the last 2 or 3 months as background music while I study, thanks for the upload.. right in the feels man Y~Y
+Arikadou woop and now I'm doing it again
Yeah me too ari
Coming back to this years after college it helps me get into such a heightened work flow.
I guess Im asking randomly but does someone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the password. I love any tips you can offer me
@Jude Jon Instablaster :)
This video used to get me thru the last month of college semesters. Glad to have rediscovered it five years later!!
I found this playlist when I was about 13 years old. Some of the games on here I’ve never played but there’s not a single skip here. I’m glad I found this again. Love all
That Assassin's Creed 2 though :D
Really digging how much Halo is on here.
+Quick Attack Films Same here. Halo 2 OST is sooooo good
+Quick Attack Films, never realized how good that soundtrack is.
same... i will watch the whole video if i have to
I've been listening to this lovely piece for the whole 10 years
you're a real OG! that's awesome. I can't get enough either.
I love listening to this at work. Jobs are bullshit. (most all of them) I'd rather be curled up on my couch with some snacks and a bowl, playing the games I love. Instead, here I am pecking away at a keyboard. At least I can jam to some classic tunes. Thanks, DT Jackson!
+Richard Krzyzanski I agree but I'm a student and I prefer to have a job than to study T.T
+Richard Krzyzanski Ever tried to turn you hobby into your job?
Even though its not paying off that well, I really enjoy what I am doing. I am going to spent at least 45 years working, which is more than half a mans life. So better spent time doing something you actually enjoy, then donating your life to boredom.
I have the easiest job in the world. I sell cars at a dealership that does honest business. To whine about it seems kind of selfish, but still.... I feel like we as humans aren't meant to work. it's unnatural.
+Richard Krzyzanski I'm perfectly happy to live gaming day by day, doing some odd jobs here and there and selling stuff online to get by, going out to free food places to save money for rent. It ain't much, but it beats pumping gas or flipping burgers, and perhaps once I have a working microphone I could start a let's play channel or something like that. People might dismiss my lifestyle as ''lazy'', but I don't really care :P
When I actually do ''work'', this music is what fuels me :)
+Richard Krzyzanski - It is because your work isn't what you want to do. If you want to play games you can try to make it your job. Create UA-cam Videos or Stream yourself. Or go in a Testing Games company that finds bugs in new games !
I would pay big money for a DT Jackson V2 of relaxing VGM.
You wont believe how much this video means to me man. Keep coming back to it after all these years, you're the best thank you.
I got one thing to say, I love video games.
me too
I just zoned out into a book while listening to this, amazing stuff. I loved all of the Zelda, Metroid, and Paper Mario songs; it was a perfect kind of peaceful nostalgia.
I just gotta stop by and say thank you. I listen to it when doing homework, and on my looping site(listenonrepeat) I see that I have repeated this exactly 23 times so far, which is 115 hours of solid homework. Which is...depressing. But I'm thankful nonetheless! This got me through my first year of college; now I'm hoping to continue that trend and use it for my second year! Thank you.
Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess are just the best games ever.
I finished my supposed to be 5 hour long homework in an hour and a few mins. I got a D, thanks for the music! Lololol
Please never delete this, I listen to this video when I was a kid and its very special to me.
Thank you for making it ^^
I've been listening to this specific playlist for about six years now. It's gotten me through half of high school and now over half of college. Thank you to whoever you are DT Jackson :)
Man, people like you should stick around longer...these songs brings out the peace in anyone and reminds me why I became a gamer. So pretty of these makers...thanks for the video man.
a lot of twilight princess and mario sunshine, great choices
1:45:27 I remember as a high schooler hearing this and just crying tears of nostalgia. Ocarina of Time is one of my favorite games of all time and it helped shape me into who I am today. When I heard the Temple of Time music after stepping through that portal in Twilight Princess...just wow. I stood in there for awhile just listening, :)
I'm really greatful that this playlist still here, i started to use it while i was studying architecture, almost ten years later, here i am with my own office using it any chance i can. Thanks to the OP for everything, you made my stressfull times way easier
So much twilight princess!!!!
rightfully so lmao
yep
Twilight Princess is awesome!!
9 years and I still listen to this annually while studying, cleaning, relaxing. So many good memories with many of these games. Thank you for putting this together. It's become a regular part of my life.
This was peak youtube, weird fonts, but a lot of passion for a niche audience, which has now grown significantly

Finals time right now. This video will be running in the background pretty much all week.
this is seriously the best thing to study/do homework to. our brains are already used to this as background music, so it doesn't negatively affect your absorption of the material, but yet it gives you such a great feeling as you're working because video game music is so spectacular
May this wonderful mix of music never be removed from youtube its one of my atmospheric mixes to chill to drive to what ever the occasion. Thank you for putting an awesome mix of music together.
Still a go-to mix all these years later. Thank you so much!!
I can't focus too much when I'm listening to music, nor when I've been doing work in silence for too long, but for some reason, my ultimate point of concentration is after listening to music for a while and then turning it off.
I've been through a lot of video game music compilations to listen to whilst I work and this is by far the best, thanks!
I've listened to this countless times while working in my office. It's perfect. Thank you.
Nintendo games have some very calm tunes! They all remind me of childhood summers with the Nintendo systems! Nice memories!
I listen to this on repeat at work everyday. It keeps me from killing people... AND it got me playing Metroid Prime!
This is a 5 year old comment so Idk if I'll be getting a reply, but did you enjoy it?
I first used this playlist when I was studying for my degree a couple of years ago. Now I am a graduate and I play this at work to drown out my disgusting colleagues sniffing and coughing every 2 minutes. The guy who uploaded this has no idea how grateful I am for this upload. First it gets me through university, now the world of work!
Great for studying for finals in the late hours!
This video has a very high sentimental value for me, I have seen it many times either to study or to think, I have memories of some games and people that were very important in my life. the truth when they knocked him down I felt sad and those memories are linked to this music in part it is something a little sad and beautiful to remember
I love this playlist; I have listened to it multiple times now. Great Job!! Though I gotta say, even though I have never played a Halo game before (never owned an Xbox), those games have some of the BEST music I have ever heard.
dude ! you've got to try halo games it's the games with the more lore around it ! i've read the first book now starting second!
abuseurpublic The games are decent, I mean good but not transcending, but the lore is great, for a game that is basically revolving around shooting aliens to defend Earth. They took that very unoriginal setting and made it great. Even in the first game, by the way it begins you can tell that a lot of work was put into creating a good backstory.
dude seriously they r the best games i've ever played!
koopanique ^
abuseurpublic "abuseurpublic" Is your pseudo French ?
I've never played Halo but the soundtracks are amazing!
MrDeku73 If you have an Xbox, you should try it :). Relatively speaking, I'm new to the series. It has a really epic storyline, memorable characters, fun gameplay, badass music, and beautiful locations. I'd start with Reach, then go to CE from there.
Primal Chieftain
I have ps3 :/
MrDeku73 Don't worry! I have a PS3 and have Destiny! Martin makes songs on the game! Like search for: Destiny Soundtrack or my favorite song from the game is: Destiny - Excerpt from the Ecstasy.
If you don't play the games, listen to the soundtracks. Halos 1,2,3,ODST, and reach have amazing soundtracks! Martin O'donnel and Micheal Salvatori are amazing artists!
Best of all time, You had 5 years did you get a chance to try halo any halo??
Twilight Princess is a very atmospheric game, and I absolutely love it! I still haven't had a chance to play it, which frustrates me to no end. >B(
I have the game. But seriously, ZANT creeps me the **** out.
I find it highly underrated. Or at least undermentioned. I think its within the best if not the best LoZ game.
Scarthor twilight princess was excellent but personally nothing trumps the windwaker in my book. Another one that's underrated. too many people are about a link to the past.
Bizarro Kira it's because link to the past was just after zelda 2, so people were happy to go back to the first "classic" zelda gameplay, seeing that the second game was hard as fvck
MoreFunAndGame Link to the Past was a fun game don't get me wrong. I just think people pay too much attention to it when there are better Zelda games out there.
2:40:50, Snowpeak to Snowman, JUST an example (of so many) of how excellent this mix is. THANK YOU. Much thought went into this, apparently. I have been listening to this for over a year; it's my "work music", as I sit in my office typing reports, looking out the window, listening to memories. THANK YOU. I hope YOU, creator, read this appreciation.
Thanks for taking the time to write out each song and it's source. I know it must have taken a lot of effort, but it really makes it easier for us to enjoy them.
Thanks!
Almost cried, in a very stressful moment, this stuff is just pure bliss!!!!
I love this song!! 40:34 especially the part at 40:55 For those who havent already, you MUST play this game!!!!!
NumberSixteen BusShelter SPIIIIIIIIIIIIDER!
NumberSixteen BusShelter Yes, I am listening to Zelda music right now, and is so beautiful and relaxing in the same time.
NumberSixteen BusShelter that fucking spider XD
Fell asleep listening to this. Woke up with PTSD when the luigi's mansion music kicked in.
Still my favourite video on UA-cam since 3 years...
Thank you endlessly DT Jackson,
I certify, you can fall in love with music
Stickerbrush symphony... amazing track... truly a masterpiece.
I've been listening to this soundtrack for a little over 2 years now in university. I started midway through my degree and now I'm studying honours. Thank you for this playlist, it has got me through a LOT of sleepless nights and long study and writing sessions!
i read somewhere that listening to game soundtracks is good for studying,I usually study in silence or use classical music (cos thats supposed to help too - it doesn't)
so i tried this out and I'm actually studying well, I'm glad I have found this in time for exam season lol ^.^
E.L.F. Idk Yes, is really good music to consentrate and feel peace around you, like for example this song, from Zelda game. I love listend to music like this one to read and study, like I am do en now, I am studing and listening to this music, ja ja j. ^_^
E.L.F. Idk I suppose this is because game music is especially designed to not be distracting and rather enhance the experience of whatever happens in the game. Whereas classical music for example is good for just listen and concentrate on what happens in the music wich can be really relaxing if you do nothing else, game music does not force you to pay attention to it and is still good for setting a relaxed and concentrated mood^^
I tried classical music for working, too and it turned out I'd rather stop working to listen to the music x)
***** It's been a long time I listen to video game music because I think like many people here: it's very nice for doing homework .. Indeed it's really relaxing, but I'd never thought about what could be the reason .. ^^ 'But what you say makes a lot of sense actually !! ^^ Thanks dude, I'll sleep less stupid tonight !! ;)
IT'S BACK! IT'S BACK! IT'S BACK!
Thank you thank you thank you!
Single best playlist I've ever found for studying. Have listened probably twice a month for about 8 years. Thank you so much for the focus you've brought me!
I just got done playing Twilight princess and one of the first songs on here was Midna's lament and i just about cried
Yep, I get the chills when I listen to zelda music. Especially the twilight zone. Eh.... Don't think I will sleep tonight. Too scared ZANT is under my bed :(
Twilight Princess is one of my favorite games ever, only surpassed by CS:GO and Poke'mon lol
I know that feeling.
Liam The MASTER im with u
Great music to animate to
It's back ! Thank you for making the video available again.
I didn't do anything, it disappeared and then reappeared without any input from me... oh well, at least it's back now!
Whew. I was having a pretty bad day and was looking for some way to relax, something that no form of entertainment managed to do. Then I opened this and, in all seriousness, immediately felt myself calm down. Music really is powerful.
This video compil is my fav .... got me through undergrad school lol thanks so much to whoever arranged this!
i listen to this music when im trying to concentrate and it helps a lot, i have a lot of concentration problems and i get distracted really easily, but this helps a lot. so thank you
I've listened to this VIDEO so long ago, looking back at this brings nostalgia, even though I haven't played almost all of these games.
Right????
Starting using this playlist as background music at work in 2015, now im using it to sleep my baby girl 7 years later (and works fine!). Thanks for this awesome playlist.
Just thought I'd let you know, 6 years later and this is still my go to video for productivity time. Thanks for getting me through both the last two years of high school and all of my undergraduate studies!
27:35 - I almost shed a tear
I've put this on to sleep to many, many times. So much great music. Hope it doesn't get taken down. Will enjoy it while it lasts.
I hum throughout the entire 5 hours, this has been my favorite music compilation for 2-3 years now
A deep sense of nostalgia overwhelmed me as the smash music reminded me of my elementary days with my elementary friends playing brawl and so much more
great music to work to
Agreed! I sat through the entire 5 hours from midnight, working... Very peaceful.
Slikiboy Great for Programming.
Slikiboy That's Awesome dude. This is Super Peaceful, Relaxing, Breathtaking, and Fantastic............ 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
If you don't like this, you are gay
I appreciate this so much. I love looking up compilations/soundtracks but with the battle music thrown in it gets frustrating.
Been unknowingly searching for this for the past year. Amazing stuff, thank you so much
And again, I find myself coming back to this wonderful compilation whilst doing some grinding. Good to see that this hasn't been taken down in all these years.
Things we know from this video- The compiler plays metroid, zelda, and assassin's creed. Alot.
I love this arrangement please make more!!
I sleep to this every night. :]
Funny how songs that are made to be a bit scary end up being very relaxing. I love listening to them while in the train, it makes everything seems so unreal.
I just started to learn for my test tomorrow and this video really helps. Thank you! I think, from now on, i'll always listen to this while studying. :)
Lyras Otaku Yep, is not only the best relaxing music, like Zelda game music, but is also beautiful :)
Lyras Otaku Summer P.E taking exam next wednesday. Finally it is going to be over!!!!!!!!!
this is my favorite thing. i just really appreciate that the image changes with each song to the correct game/whatever it comes from and also that literally all of the music is listed with the times in the desc. bless.
RE4 Save theme is so relaxing
Insane amount of Twilight Princess in there XD Ordon Village is so nostalgic for me
This is a REALLY good mix, perfect for those relaxing gaming weekends, thanks OP!
Whether it be The Legend of Zelda, Battlefield, Final Fantasy, Halo, Mario, Call of Duty, League of Legends, and so on. We will always experience the beautiful memories of the game and the music each series holds.
