The perfect track to cry yourself to sleep to, drowning in nostalgia 10/10
It's so damn true it hurts.
Dude I literally took pms because I can't fall back asleep just now and got this in my headphones
Was 7 years old during wrath
Well, wrath classic here I go, make some nostalgia out of it, to cry ten years later too.
The best zone in WOTLK
noitsTrue
This track is of course perfect for Dragonblight, but also for a real snowy/frost landscape. It’s one of the most hauntingly beautiful yet sad pieces of music I’ve heard. If you’re ever in an area covered in snow, put this on and walk around.
I'm telling you. The best part of WoW is the music. Fuck raiding and all that. The music is where it's at.
And the zones that bring the music to life
and a more obvious/general opinion: one of the most amazing arrangements ever trying to express a cold/frigid/desolate region.
its truly an art form making this type of music to express an environment and I have WoW to thank for showing me this kind of music.
I agree... I almost *feel* cold listening to this. The "falling" motif reminds me of Vivaldi's 4 Seasons, Winter. But whereas that has the drama and energy of a snowstorm, this piece has an eerie stillness to it... just what is lurking out there in the frozen wastes?
Don Smith listen to this while star gazing on a beautiful, clear night and you'll understand.
Its missing the sounds of dragons flapping wings and roars hehe , still amazeing music!
7:52 WAAAAAAAAW, that's that's uhuhuh that's so beautiful. Reminds me of my childhood, when the life was much easier. I'm hopping that someday a brilliant scientist invents a machine to walk in time and go back to those years (2008), PURE GOLD!
I love how each music for each zone is very specific. If you just close your eyes and listen any zone music of warcraft, you can easily see where you are, what's surround you. I can't find anything like this on the other MMORPG, where you have some awesome OST too, but, they are not that specific to a zone. So it looses a little magic.
Back when I lived inside my head. And nothing was wrong with that. An entire world, an entire empire built in my head from childhood. Now a pile of ash that I can only get brief glimpses of. I have died, yet I am still here. Witnessing this cold, barren world with pure sense. It is still here. I am still here. But the dream is dead. Where do I go now? Where do I find my mind? My empire? Will I ever visit again? Perhaps upon death, every moment of time in an instant. Every slab of self a reminiscent vision to enjoy once more before that final curtain closes, and then…
am I the only one who loved everything about WotLK?
No, you're not. =)
Naw. Ulduar and ICC were he best raids ever. Karazhan and BT were close, but not quite.
No.
I liked Wrath for the Storm Peaks and Ulduar mostly.
+Aleksa Petrovic don't mention that shit, you've ruined everything xD
Years later to realise master composers brought this sound to us, how spoilt we were.
ok ive been immersing myself in this music since wotlk in 2010 and i just have to give my explanation on what it sounds like.
the "intro" sections sound lik the forest expressing its sadness after an animal passes away in the dead of winter... or something along those lines... the lower pitched horns sound slightly more majestic yet still sad making me imagine a fallen buck after the crack of a rifle ringing out ominously from the hunter looking for food to feed his family...
and then in also the same section but with the added piano on top... the piano keys also sound sad/sombre but at the same time a very interesting ring of intrigue/mystery too it... imagine being one of the first people exploring Antartica... and when it the piano ends on that one "dull" or "off" where it goes quiet for a second I picture an exploration team trudging through the deep snow finally get over a ridge just to see "nope... nothing over here either..."
ever since WoW and other games like Skyrim etc ive been getting so immersed into orchestral music its just amazing how much atmosphere and imagination this type of music can conjure, truly music at its definition
i literally came back to this video years later to read your comment again.
3:15 takes a chunk out of my soul....
This music.... just really opens my mind.
There was a winter when I was playing Minecraft listening to this, in a snow world and building a village underground in the mountains. It was so comfy.
When ever I hear this, I always picture Icicles shining in caves and water dropping off the bottom of them..
The Dragonblight music is defenitely one of my favourites from WoW. This brings back some good memories of roaming the vast, snowy landscapes of Dragonblight. The music itself is great as well, especially the piano piece is magnificent.
Thank you for posting this!
I hope they bring a lot of the darker stuff back to wow. Mists was interesting at first but lately, I have been looking back a lot at older content. I am even lvling another DK even tho I have plenty, now. But I am enjoying doing all this for the millionth time. And tbh I never had a Gnome past lvl 5. Never fancied one. But now its quite refreshing.
This remind me the summer of 2013 playing wow like 10 hours a day, 11 years later I still remember the good ol' times
Yeah yeah, 2018 and i'm still listening to this, it will never die, NEEEEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait for 2023
@@BRAdriel10 Still swept away to simpler times by this sublime music in 2024.
Still good in 2024 :D
OMG, that piano.....
I agree.
I’m learning it right now and I’m hoping to transcribe it to paper
This is my favorite music in all of WoW, it's beautiful.
Как это было давно … будто хороший сон , при прослушивании хочется вернуться туда назад
A few weeks ago I visited my cottage in northern Wisconsin. I woke up at around 7am and went to sit on the pier. it was foggy out...I smoked some pot, turned on this music and enjoyed the glass-like water. Until little fish began jumping almost everywhere right around 3:15...it was perfect..
Sounds AWESOME!!!
ZentetsukenVII That sounds real neat m8. Dayum I remember times when I smoked pot and played wow for hours. Hours of pure joy.
ZentetsukenVII That must have been a really beautiful scene. :)
I do not suffer from nostalgia breakdowns like most people, but the piano here is just... Godlike.
3:15 all other video game music becomes obsolete.
moonknight12579 Indeed...there is nothing else when 3:15 starts
YESSS!
Hard to believe it's been almost a decade since I made that comment. I haven't played WoW in years now but still come back to this video once in a while.
The music was the best experience from World of Warcraft, according to me. I downloaded music and arranged playlists with my favourite tunes, so every time I travel by bus or train I listen to these soothing songs. Playing WOTLK with my friends was the best time of my life, it was not just a game. It was a way to feel relaxed every once in a while.
To me the music in dragonblight is like death and decay, the violins being the sinister concept of decomposition, the wind instruments being the remnants of what was once strong and majestic (being the dragons) and the piano representing the rotting of the carcasses which is now just bone.
I am just going to drop this here but i noticed a music quote to Olivier Messiaen a french composer in his piece "Chants de terre et de ciel" in the movement "Arc-en-ciel d'innocence" --> 4th measure. It's in the same key, same melodic movement, chords sounds very alike. Very tasteful if intended by the wow composers :)
Truly not to be confused with the "WoW is dead lololol" statement, I do believe that World of Warcraft ended with Wrath of The Lich King. I have never before or after been so in love with a video game as to completely lose myself in the world and story of it. WoTLK was simply amazing. The zones, atmosphere, the music, the story. And the zones. Oh my god. I still remember setting foot on Howling Fjord for the first time. Holy shit.. The expansion was so good I still come back for the music many years later though I haven't played in forever...
But after the Lich King was slain the story of Warcraft was done for me personally. He and all the other badasses such as Kil J. and Illidan were killed. All the villains were gone. WoW died after WoTLK and it was a glorious honorable death. WoTLK marked the peak of how awesome an MMORPG could ever be. Nothing in any expansion afterwards came close to WoTLK. Cataclysm had an awesome concept., but shitty design. "A new chapter in Azeroth, a ravaged world. Shifting powers, etc" was a good plan. I saw it in the very beginning though. It was the uncanny valley. The change made it all seem somehow a mish mash of style and concepts. WoW had lost it's genuine feel in Cata. In my opinion it had to be a new WoW. New engine, new concept etc. Cataclysm should have been project titan. In my mind WoTLK was the final expansion and it should have been that way in reality aswell.
God I fucking loved this game.
me too! the feeling of being in northrend...
For you, sure It might have ended, but for those, like me who have joined AFTER the Wrath Of the lich king, reading this made me upset. It's nothing but Nostalgia. Sure at then it looked good and fun, but now, we have better graphics, much much more to do and so on, Wow Is not dying, And will not die for few years.
If you didn't play Wrath, how would you know it's nostalgia? I feel sorry for you not joining this game during its peak. The graphics have improved, the game's enjoyability has steadily declined. Though I did like raiding in MoP.
Wotlk for a last expansion? Hell no! How you dare to end the great story of Warcraft with Wotlk when there are a lot of villains left. Yes, for sure wotlk was a good expansion, but all the feelings you have - are just the feelings of nostalgia, that's all. You were younger, the games were different, times change. That's all
"not to be confused with 'wow is dead lololol'
>goes into a long statement about how wow died
wat
WotLK was my favorite, and i was so mad when the Lich King died. They should have villains for longer periods of time, not just kill them off when they think of a new one.
It's been one year since this comment. I still agree. Nothing will beat the feeling that I had from WOTLK. Even though my server sucked and was so close to being empty, I was having loads of fun. The theme, the dungeons, the mechanics, all seemed so refreshing...So fun...I'll never have that feeling again in WoW
***** I would've liked to see alive the dragon who owned the big bones in the middle.. it should've been really a huge one!! :)
Dragonblight: My favorite zone. Why? It makes me want to delve into the lore of the place(Yes, people who like lore are going extinct...), and investigate why they're dying out. Well, that's what it was like my first time playing, and I still read the lore and hang there. It's nice.
Reminds me a lot of Holst's 'Venus'. So pretty.
Who remembers that level 73 elite that patrolled the farm by Naxx? Kreug his name? Back in the first month or 2 of WotLK he dropped that sword Enti's Quenched Blade that had hidden dps and every twink had it until it got nerfed... Cant believe its been 10 years, I quit playing WoW at the end of 2010 when Cata came out. Man, 17-18, living at home...I'm 27 now with a family and house, havent gamed in years...Its bittersweet to reminisce. Doesn't feel like its been that long...can remember where I was and what I did in game better than shit that happened yesterday.
The soundtrack for Wow is up there for my all time personal favorites for sure
wotlk was the best expnsion, kickass music, good casual playing and also hardcore raiding form tine to time and ofcourse the absolut badass end boss arthas :D
Magical tune,so mesmerizing.Whenever I hear it,gives me chills.
I remember doing that group quest to kill that frost wyrm, it was me on my hunter and 2 rogues. My pet died to it so I ended up having to kite that guy in circles while the rogues took him down. Other than that the dragonshrines were nice touches, shame though we only got placeholder models for Ysera and Nozdormu at the time. And who could forget the Wrathgate and the Battle for Undercity that came after. And if I'm not mistaken the alliance actually got to do a quest that led them to the Frostmourne cavern and got to actually see how Kel'thuzad came back so that sucks for us Horde.
Literally my favorite piece of music in WoW.
i cry
+swagle when angels deserve to die
gehasutoheoanrjeonc!!!!! YOU WANTED TO!!!
Beautiful music
This was the best time in my WoW history. I started WoW with the release of MoP so I had to go to every Expansion to Level my new and only Character from 0 to 90. And after a while I arrived in Northend. I was very happy because I like those snowy Areas and Mountains and all the Undead war is going on, it was fantastic. And my favourit Area was Dragonblight and only because of the Music and Landscape.
I hated questing in wow, but got the cinematic because I completed all the quests because of this piano. This one and eversong woods are really beautifull.
5:25 is the part most of you were probably thinking of when you came here
NOSTALGIAAA
I always had this lonely stressed out feeling questing here....kinda like I always was watching my back...fun though.
Killed my first 80 elite here. Those big worm things. Thank Odin for the FEAR spell :)
This is making me nostalgic and depressive 😓
We all left something behind in Northrend , as was said at blizzcon 2010 , I guess the thing we left behind was good memories of an awesome exp and storyline , and time period of wow , I think no time can be repeated lets look on to the future next exp FTW :D it wont be MoP but something I think good !
I just wish they do more with Azjol'Nerub and Anub'Arak. It was originaly plan to be a raid but instead we got 2 short dungeons although GREAT!
My fave zone from my fave expansion.
NOSTALGIA WILL KILL ME
WOTLK had class.
I have so many good memories from the wrath era, and I'm afraid of going into classic wotlk and have a horrible experience
This tune is infinitely sad and at the same time really stressful for some reason.
Remember going here for transmutes.
Is there a name to the specific part that starts at 9:26, or can that be considered as just another "movement" in an overall track called "Dragonblight"?
I started with WotLK and I had to go trough all expansions, too. When I got 80 Cataclyzm came out but still Nordskoll is my favorite place in entire WoW. So beautiful music so atmospheric zones. MoP made the game childish.
I thought I was the only one who had that.
Nope I had it all the time...seemed there wasn't much space in this zone where you could relax.
Same!
3:15
this music remembers me of kobolds and magnataurs
agreed
this makes me wish wow wasn't so terrible now. I miss Wotlk :(
Why did you put Jeremy Soule in the bio
Look up Rain tree sketch #2 by Toru Takemitsu if you like this. They had a few good tracks in SL but DF is something pretty generic.
dragons died here
Chromie =)
Hello welcome to wow! to bad you can't repopulate the loss of subs :(
WoW sucks anymore, and I’ll never play it again. That being said, if they do WotLK classic I’d resub the same day it launches.
Wotlk was easily the worst expansion with it's mind-numbingly boring afking in dalaran, casual raids and aoe fest instances void of any challenge with the only thing difficult being zero lights in the dark.
I'll never forget it, the moment it played. I was way to into this game, was realm first max lvl rogue during wrath. I remember i had this zone mostly to myself.
