I just love this. There are sometimes in that game when I would just take my character into an inn, sit him in a chair and just listen to the tavern ambience. Sometimes I'd hear a bit of conversation that I've never heard before even though I played the game for hundreds of hours.
This was my first open world game, I was floored playing this, thought it was dungeons and dragons like stuff, this game was so much more, I at least put 300 hours into during the first summer I played it. Man this music brings back great memories
It was a storm like this, I was on my way to the Collage for the first time. I did not know that I could hire the carriges so I walked all that way from Farengar to Winterhold. When I was just between the Castle Kastav and the town, at the peak of the storm when you could see nothing, I hear a roar. Suddenly the Dragonborn chant began to play. All I had were an Imperial sword, fireballs, sparkles and a 1st tier ward. The Dragon descended and killed the guards passing by. I, like Gandalf before the Balrog, used shields and my sward to be protected from the fire and save magicka. I never forget how that calm winter storm turned into one of the most epic encounters I ever had.
Best thing that happened to me happened when I was on the side of the mountain near Dimhollow Crypt and I was attached by two dragons at the same time. That was an epic battle!
My very first time playing I was a dark elf female in Winterhold and experienced my first ice dragon in much the same situation you found yourself in. I had one save where I was walking out of someone's house and this dragon killed me. I started over. The dragon was there again. I started over. The dragon was there again, and each time it killed me. I had to delete that save and have always had at least two since.
Alice Farrington not true unfortunately. Bethesda confirmed its not gonna come until at least 2023. The reason being is that Todd Howard confirmed that the next Elderscrolls game won’t come out until after Starfield, which is set the drop in 2021 at the ABSOLUTE earliest. Bethesda also does not release a new game until at least 2 years after the previous. So 2023, if we’re lucky.
This game got me through SO MUCH bad stuff. It was my escape. No one liked me, I had no friends, my family was terrible. Drinking, drugs. Plus bullying at school? Nah. So I turned to this. I couldn't be anything in real life, but in this game I could be a friend, a hero. It brought me peace. Just wandering around for hours picking flowers, helping people. Making awesome stuff. Adventuring like I never could in real life. I will never forget that feeling, nor when I played Oblivion. Something about this recipe of sprawling world, beautiful nature, free choice and adventure. I hope it continues to see others through hard times as well.
@@vegito9019 yeah! I mean, it's not perfect. But I have my own apartment. I have a kitty. Video games. Job. We scrape by, but it's happy. (I realise I said we like the cat works lol.)

Here im brazil it,s extremely hot in this time of the year. We have the winter in july,so it,s basically switched with most of you guys. We rarely have any snow,not that we miss it. But it has always been strange as a kid seeing in the movies people talking about december as a cold time and christmas as a winter related thing. This last christmas,for example,my family had a barbecue with a lot of beer. I don,t know why i am writing this,guess the soothing track made me think about this stuff. There seems to be something magical about snow,probably because it,s so rare where i live,me personally have neve seen it. Things are a little different here in the south,but it,s not all bad. I guess people from the north don,t spend new year,s eve on the beach,right? With all that cold. Anyway,it,s almost dawn here,so o better get to sleep.
@@amandakeys1681 Another Brazilian here. And I second all @Rodrigo said, as well as wanting to say that by "cold" in Brazil we mean like 20 something Celsius, except for the south of Brazil and some rural areas close to it. Plus, I've seen snow few times now while travelling and it's magical every single time. Feliz ano novo pra geral!
This is a cool perspective. Thanks for sharing! For me December has always been synonymous with cold and July has always been synonymous with scorching heat so it's cool to hear from someone whose experiences are the exact opposite!

@@kurtdewittphoto oh that's a good point actually, sometimes I get motion sickness while playing Skyrim, Idk why, but I hope it wouldn't be worse in VR because I definitely wanna try it.

@Waifu Fries Ahhh how a year can change. Right now Texas is sitting on a ton of snow, pipes bursting, no electricity, and declaring a state of emergency due to the cold. People are dying in their beds it's so cold in spots. Careful what ya wish for.
This game is a work of art. It is going to turn ten year old this November of 2021, and it is still a masterpiece and one of the greatest experiences in gaming ever produced. A time when big budget games actually delivered on the hype and more. Such a wonderful time. I still remember being in 8th grade and coming home to play this for the first time on a Friday, only to get so lost in the game that the first time I even checked the time it was 4am.
I still play this in 2021. I have heavily modded it to look achingly beautiful with high resolution textures, 3D model enhancements and better lighting, weather, water, snow, etc. The towns are expanded and it is like a new game I can't let go. No need to change the soundtrack. It is perfect.
@@aguilpa1 Honestly, yeah. It changed how I game, nowadays I get a new game, play a few days until I’m bored of it, and just play Skyrim until another new game comes out.
I don't mean to sound like a weirdo, but this music has become an important part of my life. I meditate to it, sleep to it, and sometimes just have it playing in the background as I do my work. I am so, so grateful of your talent. It has touched my life in a way nothing has before. Thank you so much. From my heart to yours.
I played a LOT of The Legend of Zelda as a kid and this takes me back to that in some ways. I don't have much time for games but like the feel of Elder Scrolls and hope to be able to play it at some point.
If you've only got a bit of time here and there, get Skyrim. By far one of the most amazing games I've ever played. Different mechanics than Zelda, but the plot, the visuals, and the soundtrack are so easy to get lost in. ESO doesn't have the same feel, and I'm not sure why. Too frenetic maybe and there's something to the design that isn't as crisp as Skyrim. Visually, Skyrim knocks it out of the park and you really feel like you're there.
I wish I could experience this game again for the first time. I got to experience it in a different way helping my wife on her first journey 10 years ago. Maybe I can do the same for our sons in the future.
It's games like this that are more than just an escape from reality. Skyrim is an experience I'm more than happy to have spent hundreds of hours playing.
I got the platinum trophy in Skyrim last year some time. It was kind of bitter sweet as I knew when I logged off, I would not be logging back on. I left my character in his Lakeside Manor surrounded by his family. Thousands and thousands of hours in that game from when I was 12 years old to when I was 22 and moved out of home, out of state. What an experience. I wish I could go back.
Hello all. I will be transparent. I have had 12 shots at this point. However, i am 26 years old, and i feel older than i could anticipate. I already have gray hairs believe it or not... when i had my first job i came home, put on my bose headphone and just... DELVED into Skyrim. Deleted my real life and just exhausted my being into this game.... this makes me sad, as the more major things in my life that have caused me such stress and emotion, i feel like i didn't put as much time into (i know i did) but i feel like i didn't. Even now.... hear me when i say all of you are individually special. All of you have some longing and hope for what you anticipate and want. Whatever the next day brings, spend your time wisely. Don't fade into the daily struggles of life and work. Remember abd focus on those things most important to you. You have people relying on you, and others on them... stay strong. Nothing will change this world from self destruction, but you, you can redeem yourself and others from out of the drain pipe. Carry on. We're almost there.
This soundtrack from Jeremy Soule is a sprawling masterpiece. Even the ambient background music is memorable. It's a real shame he won't be composing TES VI. The starfield soundtrack didn't even approach this level of greatness.
Wish I could go back in time ...I played hours and hours sometimes I just let it how it is and just watched the screen took my tea and enjoyed it...I miss those times so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
What always struck me about this game was how it was able to induce a sense of awe. I remember going through some snowy foothills at night and hearing "Distant Horizons" start playing - and just being struck at how beautiful it all was, how perfect. They really knew how to combine the visual and auditory in this game to make something far greater than the sum of its parts.
I actually still play on my first ever account, she's a cat (I forgot how to spell the race but she's the cat people) her name is cheebah and I started playing with her again a month ago. I made the account when I was 9 or 10.
Playing this on XBOX was amazing, playing this on VR was one of the best gaming experiences ever. I logged so many hours, just sitting on a mountain and soaking it all in.
I’m an author, and I usually write in a somewhat noisy cafe. Recently, I began listening to background music to help block out the noise so I can focus. It helps tremendously. Thank you so much!
I played fallout in high school and never Skyrim. I’m grateful I get to experience Skyrim for the first time even over a decade later. It’s magical and peaceful escapism and a beautiful world
I was the exact opposite! I played Skyrim in high school, but never tried Fallout until the pandemic. They are my top two favorite games that I've ever personally experienced and I go back to them both all the time.
I'll go through a year or two without touching this old game, and then I'll be seized with such passion for a time it's almost as if Talos himself had come down to bless me. That's how, after all these years, each time I play it feels a bit like the first.
Listening to this as I’m creating my fantasy world/book. I didn’t realize how great this music actually is because I’d be so immersed in the game itself. We were definitely spoiled with the elder scrolls games and world. There is a reason Skyrim has been released 1000 times it’s because it’s more then a video game it’s a true work of art.
You don't know how much this helped me, I've been struggling to fall asleep lately and every time I listen to this, a wave of calmness takes over me and I sleep almost immediately.
Long ago, the year was 2011. Month of November. A boy soon to be man- raised money from selling a cow at a nearby market to help feed his family. On his way home, he was stopped by a wizard- “Care to buy some magic beans boy?” “I wish I could sir, but this is for my family” replied the boy. “But these will grow tall and make you rich beyond your wildest dreams...” “Sadly I cannot.” The boy shook his head. He continued home and on his way- noticed a store with a large poster saying... Elder Scrolls: Skyrim The boy rushed in and told the man working the counter, “Take my money.” ... this is my story.
@@littlehollow Omg you will love it! It's one of my favorite games, and you can replay it multiple times and still find new side quests to do, there's loads of playable content! Also it's beautiful landscaping and music as well!
@@kirstinburke9316 since those 8 months ago, I have played it almost all the way through lol. It truly is one of my favorite games ever, maybe even my most favorite now. The music is still amazing to this day as well. I actually put it in a couple Spotify playlists of mine hehe. I actually recently started it again in a different character too.
@@littlehollow ah that's good, glad you're enjoying it then. I've restarted with different characters quite a bit as well, I always try to different sidequests every playthrough. My favorite is my Wood Elf characters. :)
I took a break from writing to read these comments. I listen to this and many other things similar while I write, but this and the scenes oh my! I love it!. I truly am grateful to read all of your comments and stories. It brings me so much joy!
I've never played the game. But I'm impressed by the quality of this soundtrack, some musical phrases would deserve to become a symphony ... it is so inspired !
Thank you so much for helping me get through all my papers I'm writing for my psychology degree. Your music is way better than banging my head against a wall!
this video makes me feel like being home in north Norway. I remember playing this a few years ago, and even though im pretty used to high mountains, winter storms and northern lights, this game is still breathtaking
I've always had to balance my school with games, I'm a B student so I'm mediocre at that lol. I do hope you learn the skill you need to live a decent life. Finish it before TES 6 comes out! God bless you
Back in the day, I used to leave the game running while I read or studied, because the ambient music and sounds and art were so beautiful and relaxing. Thank you for sharing this.
I'll never forget my first frost dragon. It was the first time I'd climbed the 7000 steps, I was admiring the view from so high upon the mountain when a shadow passed over me. I was already a decent archer at that point so the dragon was more a fun surprise than anything else, especially since the troll a few turns later absolutely rocked me. Ever since then I've never seen another dragon on that mountain pass but I'm always looking for that shadow.
Nostalgia is such a weird thing, its like a perfection of balance, its sad and happiness and the same time, something you look back to and smile but sad wishing to relive those moments, I always remember watching my brother play skyrim and of course always enjoyed playing it myself, but i was always so happy to watch my brother play, but now as we both grew older, thankfully i can always still watch him play other games but those memories will forever be in my heart.
What I would give to play this game again for the first time.. it wrenches my soul to think. Me sitting in my chair.. In the quiet early winter morning and play this game for hours, my hot coffee and tranquility.. Like, literally the world didn't exist... That's why I always come back here. To relive the memories. It warms my soul. Every time!! The last piece of real peace I ever truly experienced.
Ambient Worlds, you hands down have the best mixes. I currently alternate between this, Elder Scrolls Peaceful Night Sky, The Witcher Peaceful Night and various Narnias every night to relax but I love them all. Thank you so much for everything you do.
im enjoying playing world of warcraft sitting in Ironforge going outside in the snow with this music in its chilling and gives me so many child memories...
Journey's End describes the song so well. it's like...movie is ending, credits rolling, everything turned out good in the end. The adventurer is still walking down the path and into the sunset and will have further adventures, but they will prevail! There's a reason Tundra so often comes before it in soundtrack, the saddest song ever made followed by the most saving song ever made.
Ah back when every drug was a scary encounter back when every npc was something new to experience back when Alduin was sending shivers down my spine. What a time it was... Back in the days whitch only live in our memories.
I play a lot of MMO's over the years and every time when i'm in a farming / grinding mode? Then i have this music on the background. So many good memories of Skyrim. To be honest? Skyrim has the best background of all games. Thank you for uploading this epic gem.
PC gaming =Master Race and most nostalgic game ever played on pc with all epic things and such a brilliant storyline with epic rpg experience and lots of nostalgic childhood memories which gets triggered in while again listening to such beautiful music of Skyrim 🎶❤️💯💯
I usually come to this music alone in my dark room at night and let waves of a off-putting yet peaceful nostalgia take me. I read the comments and it feels like we all take a trip back to a former self
I can see myself walking around in a snowy tundra surrounded with big mountains far away and a forest with a blanket of snow behind the mountains. Sad to see no snow here in sweden this year. it was 11 degrees at the end of december :/ Amazing video Skyrim always puts me back to the comfy days of playing it and exploring all these beautiful places and listening to Soules incredible work.
So beautiful !! Most of your music and video collections I love very much - this here comes into my favorites together with The Lord of the rings music and this is a great place ... From Germany with love !!! 💚
Thank you. Your channel has changed my life. I’ve tried so many different ways to relive stress and anxiety. So many white noise sounds SO MANY THINGS. You not only improved my sleep but you also helped the ringing in my ears when it’s quite. Thank you so much for doing this, making videos for us. -Sophia from Florida.
Wow - the transitions from piece to piece in this one! 39:06 actually pulled me right out of what I was doing when I heard the chords resolve. Expertly done Ambient Worlds
I played Skyrim for the first time back in 2017 when I was 15 and it was the first game I'd ever played that was more intense than the Sims 3 and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I loved every second of it, I'd spend hours every night getting lost in the world until the early hours of the day. It was a kind of escape from the real world, like the books I read as a kid like Eragon and such. Four years later I still play it; it's one of my favorite games and I wish I could go back and play it for the first time again. It's full of such calming music, Jeremy Soule did an amazing job. Thanks for the great video, even if I'm a bit late.
Nothing beats the first play through, where everything is new. So much unknown, and mystery ahead. Each encounter being more interesting and intense than the last. But man, my modded playthrough built for survival gameplay on legendary difficulty really made traversing the open icy tundra a mission. Chopping wood, bringing the right clothing, stocking up on torches and alcohol to fight off the freezing winds, and charting my course strategically from alcove to alcove to survive the cold added a layer to the game that was so immersive. Hunting for pelts, and having to skin the animals, needing to eat and drink. It really felt like I was surviving in the world not just playing. Combat mods that add crippling effects to limbs and other hard mechanics made every fight difficult and forced me to actually think on my toes. Best game of all time. Just roaming the landscape with the beautiful music in the background is amazing.
Oww the good old days, when this epic game came out. On friday sometimes I would grab a beer, turn the ps3 on and just climb a mountain to see the Aurora Borealis. ONE OF THE BEST GAMES OF ALL TIME. There is a reason people still play this game in 2023, because is godaamm AMAZING!
Ok so ive never played Skyrim- but heard of it and its associated musical score. I had it on as background music through my headphones whilst I worked today and its made me quite emotional! Amazing score, lots of credit to the creators.
Love this! I listen to your videos every night, and I also play them for ambience in my D&D sessions, they really get my players in the mood. Could you do a Lake Town video from The Hobbit? I really like the feel of it in the movies and I’m lacking in water esc ambience for my campaigns
so am i the only guy who always go from one point to other just walking? i never teleport or use carriages, just my feets or a horse, just to keep the game immersive and have more adventures in my way to the place i want to reach, i can tell the game tastes so much better when you do it that way but, indeed, to complete a simple mission i could spend easily 2 hours, but i feel that is the way to really feel the The Elder Scrolls V vibes, taking a loooong walk from the warm tavern to get involve in a trip to reach the other side of the map and founding enemies and people with their problems during the process, it is the perfect experience!
One of the few soundtracks that completely immerses me in the game, like I'm watching a movie and I forget that what I'm watching isn't real. One of my favorite games of all time. Started playing this when I was 11, adding to the immersion since my imagination was so vivid and I could completely delve into the game. I remember actually being terrified of the draugr. I think back to that and think how silly I was, but I also lament my loss of innocence that led me to growing up and losing the sense of wonder I had. This soundtrack, no matter how many times I may hear it, brings me back. I just hope TES VI can replicate the feeling I once had for a new generation
2013 or 2016 cool summer, fall, or winter night. Looking at the aurora of skyrim on xbox 360 while listening to old songs you loved, going all night with no sleep, hoping to maybe share the experience with one of your friends on any messaging app. I miss those nights, so care free.
Skyrim, wow I'm so happy I got to experience this game in life, the soundtrack and the visuals just everything about it is just a wonderful thing. This is beautiful thank you. ♥️🥰
i may be a little late but: You saying: "if the video gives you joy".... man, the video/especially the music is giving me more than joy! Jesus, it is giving me a ton of mixed feelings... How i encounter that rat of a troll on my way to the greybeards, how i just found a home in whiterun, how i discovered that i can do anything at any time in the game, how i found the college of winterhold without knowing that it´s there, how i discovered so many dark secrets of skyrim. How i discovered the Dwemer ruins for the first time, and thought OMG How i got the Dawnbreaker( dont knoe ehy this is os persistent in my mind...) MAN! This Music is giving me more than JOY! This music is giving me memories that were long forgotten. Jesus please let me enjoy this masterpiece of a game once more. It felt like i was the adventurer himself. Bruhh... sry for the grammar. but i know that u can understand my thoughts.
Strange how we never notice the blissfull, calm, relaxing and beautiful music of skirim. The only time we need to notice them is when we are having a bad day, and can't sleep. Only to then feel like we had to give the game more credit for what it has to offer... And only then can feel the music.
I wish I was a gamer, just to play Skyrim.. I use to watch my daughter play it as I painted..I enjoyed the music mostly...now I have it once again :) Thank you, Beautiful.
Thank you for making this!! I didn't even realize Skyrim was a video game until I started reading the comments! LOL I just wanted wintery music, and a screen that changed, because I was playing it on my TV. This is absolutely perfect! Very grateful!!! It's really beautiful!!
God... so many memories... It's like going back to those times where nothing else mattered...
jsal94 memories?

Yes! I want to go back to first playing Skyrim. My problems back then were tiny compared to what they are now.

I had a similar experience, but on my way out of Winterhold, and mine was far less poetic: I just kept getting my ass kicked by a Snowy Sabercat.

Mind blown when I found out about carriges lol
Best thing that happened to me happened when I was on the side of the mountain near Dimhollow Crypt and I was attached by two dragons at the same time. That was an epic battle!

@Waifu Fries Ahhh how a year can change. Right now Texas is sitting on a ton of snow, pipes bursting, no electricity, and declaring a state of emergency due to the cold. People are dying in their beds it's so cold in spots. Careful what ya wish for.
This game is a work of art. It is going to turn ten year old this November of 2021, and it is still a masterpiece and one of the greatest experiences in gaming ever produced. A time when big budget games actually delivered on the hype and more. Such a wonderful time. I still remember being in 8th grade and coming home to play this for the first time on a Friday, only to get so lost in the game that the first time I even checked the time it was 4am.
I still play this in 2021. I have heavily modded it to look achingly beautiful with high resolution textures, 3D model enhancements and better lighting, weather, water, snow, etc. The towns are expanded and it is like a new game I can't let go. No need to change the soundtrack. It is perfect.
I remember that too. :)
@@aguilpa1 Honestly, yeah. It changed how I game, nowadays I get a new game, play a few days until I’m bored of it, and just play Skyrim until another new game comes out.
I will continue playing this game until age makes me unable to play.
If the next elder scrolls is a disappointment, then at least Skyrim still exists.
Happy 11th anniversary
I don't mean to sound like a weirdo, but this music has become an important part of my life. I meditate to it, sleep to it, and sometimes just have it playing in the background as I do my work. I am so, so grateful of your talent. It has touched my life in a way nothing has before. Thank you so much. From my heart to yours.
I feel the same way! When I want feel good and warm inside, I listen to the Great Hall one from this channel. Totally recommend it!
Same here. I fell asleep to this playing so many times. Also waking to a loud bear growl and a vibrating controller occasionally.
I played a LOT of The Legend of Zelda as a kid and this takes me back to that in some ways. I don't have much time for games but like the feel of Elder Scrolls and hope to be able to play it at some point.
I'm not going to sit here and try and "force or guilt" you into playing it. All I'm going to say is when do play it. You won't regret it.
TES IV: Oblivion is a masterpiece in "feeling".
Same, playing Skyrim gives off a similar vibe in some ways
If you've only got a bit of time here and there, get Skyrim. By far one of the most amazing games I've ever played. Different mechanics than Zelda, but the plot, the visuals, and the soundtrack are so easy to get lost in. ESO doesn't have the same feel, and I'm not sure why. Too frenetic maybe and there's something to the design that isn't as crisp as Skyrim. Visually, Skyrim knocks it out of the park and you really feel like you're there.
Dont worry, The Elder Scrolls are games that taste better if you dont finish them on a whim. Take your time and enjoy it!
I wish I could experience this game again for the first time. I got to experience it in a different way helping my wife on her first journey 10 years ago. Maybe I can do the same for our sons in the future.
It's games like this that are more than just an escape from reality. Skyrim is an experience I'm more than happy to have spent hundreds of hours playing.
I got the platinum trophy in Skyrim last year some time. It was kind of bitter sweet as I knew when I logged off, I would not be logging back on. I left my character in his Lakeside Manor surrounded by his family. Thousands and thousands of hours in that game from when I was 12 years old to when I was 22 and moved out of home, out of state. What an experience. I wish I could go back.
17:23 right in the high school nostalgia when nothing mattered, I wish I was a kid again lol
Hello all. I will be transparent. I have had 12 shots at this point. However, i am 26 years old, and i feel older than i could anticipate. I already have gray hairs believe it or not... when i had my first job i came home, put on my bose headphone and just... DELVED into Skyrim. Deleted my real life and just exhausted my being into this game.... this makes me sad, as the more major things in my life that have caused me such stress and emotion, i feel like i didn't put as much time into (i know i did) but i feel like i didn't. Even now.... hear me when i say all of you are individually special. All of you have some longing and hope for what you anticipate and want. Whatever the next day brings, spend your time wisely. Don't fade into the daily struggles of life and work. Remember abd focus on those things most important to you. You have people relying on you, and others on them... stay strong. Nothing will change this world from self destruction, but you, you can redeem yourself and others from out of the drain pipe. Carry on. We're almost there.
This soundtrack from Jeremy Soule is a sprawling masterpiece. Even the ambient background music is memorable. It's a real shame he won't be composing TES VI. The starfield soundtrack didn't even approach this level of greatness.
I am playing Skyrim since 11.11.2011 until today, and this I do on a daily basis, because I feel at home there.
Wish I could go back in time ...I played hours and hours sometimes I just let it how it is and just watched the screen took my tea and enjoyed it...I miss those times so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I lived in Skyrim and it was cool.
What always struck me about this game was how it was able to induce a sense of awe. I remember going through some snowy foothills at night and hearing "Distant Horizons" start playing - and just being struck at how beautiful it all was, how perfect. They really knew how to combine the visual and auditory in this game to make something far greater than the sum of its parts.
Yes! I have definitely teared up more than once at the sheer beauty in this game. It's such an experience.
I become one with the game❤
The crackling fire leaves my Nord ears wanting the sounds of Nord drums playing, preferably with some spiced mead and salted horker.
i read horker as honker and i got a bit worried-
Skal!
I actually still play on my first ever account, she's a cat (I forgot how to spell the race but she's the cat people) her name is cheebah and I started playing with her again a month ago. I made the account when I was 9 or 10.
Khajiit - k h a j i i t
How old are you now?
@@DPLawlorFilms probably 18-20
Cool!
In order for this to be accurate to my own experience, somewhere in the middle when you finally feel calm, there should be a bear noise at 1000dB
I heard it in my head just now.
This is what my essence looks and sounds like. Thanks to everyone involved in making this a reality
Just started playing a month ago. Son turned me on to it. Unreal. Cannot wait to get home every day and explore new worlds.
i might have read that wrong
Playing this on XBOX was amazing, playing this on VR was one of the best gaming experiences ever. I logged so many hours, just sitting on a mountain and soaking it all in.
I've never played Skyrim but listening this made me feel lile I played it years and years ago...
You should really give it a try, it’s an amazing experience!
@@jerodbrown7339 and then he'll get a solid cpu and lose himself forevermore in the blissful abyss that is Skyrim modding...
Please do when you can.
please for the love of talos play this game
I moved to a place that looks like Skyrim and I can watch Northern Lights while listening to this music. Elder Scrolls shaped my life forever.
pls tell me where you moved to, ill come join you
@@ellyetri8680 hehehe the whole point of moving far North is that nobody else can find you in your Solitude
I'll never forget this time in Skyrim.
I’m an author, and I usually write in a somewhat noisy cafe. Recently, I began listening to background music to help block out the noise so I can focus. It helps tremendously. Thank you so much!
Makes me want to jump back into playing Skyrim! Beautiful game
I played fallout in high school and never Skyrim. I’m grateful I get to experience Skyrim for the first time even over a decade later. It’s magical and peaceful escapism and a beautiful world
I was the exact opposite! I played Skyrim in high school, but never tried Fallout until the pandemic. They are my top two favorite games that I've ever personally experienced and I go back to them both all the time.
I'll go through a year or two without touching this old game, and then I'll be seized with such passion for a time it's almost as if Talos himself had come down to bless me. That's how, after all these years, each time I play it feels a bit like the first.
Listening to this as I’m creating my fantasy world/book. I didn’t realize how great this music actually is because I’d be so immersed in the game itself. We were definitely spoiled with the elder scrolls games and world. There is a reason Skyrim has been released 1000 times it’s because it’s more then a video game it’s a true work of art.
You don't know how much this helped me, I've been struggling to fall asleep lately and every time I listen to this, a wave of calmness takes over me and I sleep almost immediately.
Long ago, the year was 2011. Month of November.
A boy soon to be man- raised money from selling a cow at a nearby market to help feed his family.
On his way home, he was stopped by a wizard-
“Care to buy some magic beans boy?”
“I wish I could sir, but this is for my family” replied the boy.
“But these will grow tall and make you rich beyond your wildest dreams...”
“Sadly I cannot.” The boy shook his head.
He continued home and on his way- noticed a store with a large poster saying...
Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
The boy rushed in and told the man working the counter, “Take my money.”
... this is my story.
I cannot believe it's been 12 years since I began playing Skyrim. Now I have Skyrim VR, and it feels like a new game again. ❤️
this game is like magic...takes you to another planet...to where all we want to be..
Exactly
Listening to this during COVID-19... Godspeed, y'all.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Listening to this feels like coming home.
skyrim soundtracks would always touch my heart to the deep down. i even tear up a little. this is undescribably beautiful.
So many memories...This game is legend.....I love skyrim world ❄💙
i just started playing the other day lol
@@littlehollow Omg you will love it! It's one of my favorite games, and you can replay it multiple times and still find new side quests to do, there's loads of playable content! Also it's beautiful landscaping and music as well!
@@kirstinburke9316 since those 8 months ago, I have played it almost all the way through lol. It truly is one of my favorite games ever, maybe even my most favorite now. The music is still amazing to this day as well. I actually put it in a couple Spotify playlists of mine hehe. I actually recently started it again in a different character too.
@@littlehollow ah that's good, glad you're enjoying it then. I've restarted with different characters quite a bit as well, I always try to different sidequests every playthrough. My favorite is my Wood Elf characters. :)
I took a break from writing to read these comments. I listen to this and many other things similar while I write, but this and the scenes oh my! I love it!. I truly am grateful to read all of your comments and stories. It brings me so much joy!
I've never played the game. But I'm impressed by the quality of this soundtrack, some musical phrases would deserve to become a symphony ... it is so inspired !
You should play it. Just read the comments to find out why. It touches your life like other game ever could.
Thank you so much for helping me get through all my papers I'm writing for my psychology degree. Your music is way better than banging my head against a wall!
this video makes me feel like being home in north Norway. I remember playing this a few years ago, and even though im pretty used to high mountains, winter storms and northern lights, this game is still breathtaking
I've always had to balance my school with games, I'm a B student so I'm mediocre at that lol. I do hope you learn the skill you need to live a decent life. Finish it before TES 6 comes out! God bless you
Are these gorgeous winter scenes from the game?
yes!
Jennifer Brewer yes they are! Had a blast finding great shots to film
There's a piece of my heart in this game ❤ Thanks for this 🤘
yep!
Back in the day, I used to leave the game running while I read or studied, because the ambient music and sounds and art were so beautiful and relaxing. Thank you for sharing this.
I'll never forget my first frost dragon. It was the first time I'd climbed the 7000 steps, I was admiring the view from so high upon the mountain when a shadow passed over me. I was already a decent archer at that point so the dragon was more a fun surprise than anything else, especially since the troll a few turns later absolutely rocked me. Ever since then I've never seen another dragon on that mountain pass but I'm always looking for that shadow.
Thank you for this. I would sit and play the game for hours, finding calm in the atmospheric qualities of the game. This has a similar effect.
Fantastic ambient for relaxing, study or any art activity.
Nostalgia is such a weird thing, its like a perfection of balance, its sad and happiness and the same time, something you look back to and smile but sad wishing to relive those moments, I always remember watching my brother play skyrim and of course always enjoyed playing it myself, but i was always so happy to watch my brother play, but now as we both grew older, thankfully i can always still watch him play other games but those memories will forever be in my heart.
Thanks. Skyrim is my all time favorite games . So I very much appreciate this along with the cinematic in the back ground AWESOME 👏 THANK YOU 🙏
What I would give to play this game again for the first time.. it wrenches my soul to think. Me sitting in my chair.. In the quiet early winter morning and play this game for hours, my hot coffee and tranquility.. Like, literally the world didn't exist... That's why I always come back here. To relive the memories. It warms my soul. Every time!! The last piece of real peace I ever truly experienced.
One of those games that had that immersive, emotional bond where you would lose yourself for hours on end in Tamriel.
Ambient Worlds, you hands down have the best mixes. I currently alternate between this, Elder Scrolls Peaceful Night Sky, The Witcher Peaceful Night and various Narnias every night to relax but I love them all. Thank you so much for everything you do.
im enjoying playing world of warcraft sitting in Ironforge going outside in the snow with this music in its chilling and gives me so many child memories...
17:23 just really hit me in the feels man...
It's so good!! Does anyone know the name of that piece/section?
@@briannewton5074 its called “Journey’s end”
@@seikann Thank You! Listening again
Journey's End describes the song so well. it's like...movie is ending, credits rolling, everything turned out good in the end. The adventurer is still walking down the path and into the sunset and will have further adventures, but they will prevail! There's a reason Tundra so often comes before it in soundtrack, the saddest song ever made followed by the most saving song ever made.
i love this ambient music!!! i think about it when i go to the snow to see my grandchildren hunt!!! is very emocional!!! salutations from chiloe!!!!
please like my comment Ambient Worlds! i really love your videos!!
Ah back when every drug was a scary encounter back when every npc was something new to experience back when Alduin was sending shivers down my spine. What a time it was... Back in the days whitch only live in our memories.
Love love LOVE Skyrim in-game views, Jeremy Soule's soundtrack, snow in general, and this video!
I really love the strings and voices in this one. It’s very atmospheric.
I put my hands near the screen and I swear I can feel the heat from that fire.
I play a lot of MMO's over the years and every time when i'm in a farming / grinding mode? Then i have this music on the background.
So many good memories of Skyrim. To be honest? Skyrim has the best background of all games. Thank you for uploading this epic gem.
PC gaming =Master Race and most nostalgic game ever played on pc with all epic things and such a brilliant storyline with epic rpg experience and lots of nostalgic childhood memories which gets triggered in while again listening to such beautiful music of Skyrim 🎶❤️💯💯
I usually come to this music alone in my dark room at night and let waves of a off-putting yet peaceful nostalgia take me. I read the comments and it feels like we all take a trip back to a former self
I can see myself walking around in a snowy tundra surrounded with big mountains far away and a forest with a blanket of snow behind the mountains. Sad to see no snow here in sweden this year. it was 11 degrees at the end of december :/
Amazing video Skyrim always puts me back to the comfy days of playing it and exploring all these beautiful places and listening to Soules incredible work.
I'm assuming 11 degrees C.
@@paytonblake3318 yeah
Same here in Croatia, so far 0 snow. And around 15-18 degrees last week.
I want snow so I can put on Skyrim music and go on a hike.
Without these compilations of the Skyrim soundtrack, I wouldn't be able to focus on my master's program homework.
its so wonderful to walk in city during snowfall and listen to this music. feels like Im in some RPG )
I have C-PTSD. This helps lots. Thank you
So beautiful !! Most of your music and video collections I love very much - this here comes into my favorites together with The Lord of the rings music and this is a great place ... From Germany with love !!! 💚
I remember the stress free days. I was happy
Thank you. Your channel has changed my life. I’ve tried so many different ways to relive stress and anxiety. So many white noise sounds SO MANY THINGS. You not only improved my sleep but you also helped the ringing in my ears when it’s quite. Thank you so much for doing this, making videos for us. -Sophia from Florida.
I have tinitis also, sleep with a gan and a thunderstorm CD playing. These sound tracks are so very calming also.
Happy belated birthday Skyrim.
Sky above, voice within.
Wow - the transitions from piece to piece in this one! 39:06 actually pulled me right out of what I was doing when I heard the chords resolve. Expertly done Ambient Worlds
I played Skyrim for the first time back in 2017 when I was 15 and it was the first game I'd ever played that was more intense than the Sims 3 and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I loved every second of it, I'd spend hours every night getting lost in the world until the early hours of the day. It was a kind of escape from the real world, like the books I read as a kid like Eragon and such. Four years later I still play it; it's one of my favorite games and I wish I could go back and play it for the first time again. It's full of such calming music, Jeremy Soule did an amazing job. Thanks for the great video, even if I'm a bit late.
Nothing beats the first play through, where everything is new. So much unknown, and mystery ahead. Each encounter being more interesting and intense than the last. But man, my modded playthrough built for survival gameplay on legendary difficulty really made traversing the open icy tundra a mission. Chopping wood, bringing the right clothing, stocking up on torches and alcohol to fight off the freezing winds, and charting my course strategically from alcove to alcove to survive the cold added a layer to the game that was so immersive. Hunting for pelts, and having to skin the animals, needing to eat and drink. It really felt like I was surviving in the world not just playing. Combat mods that add crippling effects to limbs and other hard mechanics made every fight difficult and forced me to actually think on my toes. Best game of all time. Just roaming the landscape with the beautiful music in the background is amazing.
Very relaxing and brings back so many memories. I feel refreshed, like I never took that arrow in the knee!
Oww the good old days, when this epic game came out. On friday sometimes I would grab a beer, turn the ps3 on and just climb a mountain to see the Aurora Borealis. ONE OF THE BEST GAMES OF ALL TIME. There is a reason people still play this game in 2023, because is godaamm AMAZING!
This is my all-time favorite go-to for chill background sound... Thank you so much for this link
Ok so ive never played Skyrim- but heard of it and its associated musical score. I had it on as background music through my headphones whilst I worked today and its made me quite emotional! Amazing score, lots of credit to the creators.
Love this! I listen to your videos every night, and I also play them for ambience in my D&D sessions, they really get my players in the mood. Could you do a Lake Town video from The Hobbit? I really like the feel of it in the movies and I’m lacking in water esc ambience for my campaigns
This music is so comforting and beautiful. It would be a dream come true to hear it live.
so am i the only guy who always go from one point to other just walking? i never teleport or use carriages, just my feets or a horse, just to keep the game immersive and have more adventures in my way to the place i want to reach, i can tell the game tastes so much better when you do it that way but, indeed, to complete a simple mission i could spend easily 2 hours, but i feel that is the way to really feel the The Elder Scrolls V vibes, taking a loooong walk from the warm tavern to get involve in a trip to reach the other side of the map and founding enemies and people with their problems during the process, it is the perfect experience!
Happy New Year! Beautiful video as always😊❄️❄️
One of the few soundtracks that completely immerses me in the game, like I'm watching a movie and I forget that what I'm watching isn't real. One of my favorite games of all time. Started playing this when I was 11, adding to the immersion since my imagination was so vivid and I could completely delve into the game. I remember actually being terrified of the draugr. I think back to that and think how silly I was, but I also lament my loss of innocence that led me to growing up and losing the sense of wonder I had. This soundtrack, no matter how many times I may hear it, brings me back. I just hope TES VI can replicate the feeling I once had for a new generation
2013 or 2016 cool summer, fall, or winter night. Looking at the aurora of skyrim on xbox 360 while listening to old songs you loved, going all night with no sleep, hoping to maybe share the experience with one of your friends on any messaging app. I miss those nights, so care free.
Skyrim, wow I'm so happy I got to experience this game in life, the soundtrack and the visuals just everything about it is just a wonderful thing. This is beautiful thank you. ♥️🥰
i may be a little late but:
You saying: "if the video gives you joy"....
man, the video/especially the music is giving me more than joy!
Jesus, it is giving me a ton of mixed feelings...
How i encounter that rat of a troll on my way to the greybeards,
how i just found a home in whiterun,
how i discovered that i can do anything at any time in the game,
how i found the college of winterhold without knowing that it´s there,
how i discovered so many dark secrets of skyrim.
How i discovered the Dwemer ruins for the first time, and thought OMG
How i got the Dawnbreaker( dont knoe ehy this is os persistent in my mind...)
MAN! This Music is giving me more than JOY!
This music is giving me memories that were long forgotten.
Jesus please let me enjoy this masterpiece of a game once more.
It felt like i was the adventurer himself.
Bruhh...
sry for the grammar. but i know that u can understand my thoughts.
Strange how we never notice the blissfull, calm, relaxing and beautiful music of skirim. The only time we need to notice them is when we are having a bad day, and can't sleep. Only to then feel like we had to give the game more credit for what it has to offer... And only then can feel the music.
I wish I was a gamer, just to play Skyrim.. I use to watch my daughter play it as I painted..I enjoyed the music mostly...now I have it once again :) Thank you, Beautiful.
Just before or after the ski ist just perfect! (with a hot chocolate or a tee)
Thank you for making this!! I didn't even realize Skyrim was a video game until I started reading the comments! LOL I just wanted wintery music, and a screen that changed, because I was playing it on my TV. This is absolutely perfect! Very grateful!!! It's really beautiful!!
Perfect for the weather some of us are having , thanks man!
I also love the sound of the winter wind in the background.
