The Music of Columbia | BioShock Infinite Ambience
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2019
- In a follow-up to the video tribute to "You Belong To Me" sung by Elizabeth from BioShock Infinite, I'm very happy to present a 45-minute ambient experience featuring of some the best music the floating city has to offer.
Whether you're trying to study, relax, or you just spend some time wandering the streets of this magical city, hop aboard! The Zeppelin to Columbia is departing now:) - Фільми й анімація
I want to play this game without the enemies. Just want to stroll around Columbia not fearing for my life lol
Yesssss agreeed
@@superdupersaltyman Many games should do that.
You can only do that if you're white
i was thinking the same. i just finished the game. like moments ago, the first one alone ,And i was thinking like lot of enemies and interaction turns the game into something gory, like the game play didnt had to be this way , maybe adventure puzzle like gameplay, with more interactions and lot of time to listen and just see the marvelous beauty of columbia.
@@KailasNathX I guess if Telltale was still alive and at it's prime Bioshock Infinite would've been a great game to do in their way, where you can explore the map and get involved with dialogues and all the mysteries that surrounds the whole inter-dimensional thing and racial conflict in the city, maybe even with a minor secondary character like Fitzroy or Slate idk, this dimensional thing gives a lot of options to do everything.
No game has made me feel like this game made me feel
Amen.
Yesss! It helped me through a depressed phase, I am so thankful for this game.
@@antroxio9945 I don’t know about you brothers and sisters! But This one doesn’t look clean to me!
@@jessefulton8841 it’s a great game man you totally gotta try it.
@@sirpizza2044 lol I have, that’s why I made the comment. It’s made by the priest after dunking booker once, he goes in for a second time.. “that idiot priest doesn’t know the difference in baptizing a man or drowning him. “
I wish I could play this game for the first time again.
i just did, basically like the first time.. after so many years i forgot why i liked the story or what it even is about lol! now i remember and its like the first time
@@monster-tc1nz Nice
I just played through it today for the first time.
Same here
same. its such a good game. the first time will always be special ;-;
We need a 'Tourist' mode where we can walk around the city with no quest or story line just to take in the scenery
I would love that. I do appreciate the portions of the game that feel somewhat like that, such as the opening, or exploring the beach with Elizabeth. I tried to bring out that feeling in this vid:)
@@WadeWojcik you have done a really good job amalgamating all these elements together! Takes me to different places while I try to sleep!
Modders might help
@@gokuop7051 We can only hope.
I got shivers when "Will the circle be unbroken" came on, It's horrifying how a seemingly peaceful song can hold such weight and terror after playing this game.
Huh, it's a real public domain hymn.
@@TheBurningWarrior Yeah that why he said cameo its hearing your local church songs on a new and terryfing context
When it plays after emerging from the clouds in the elevator thing...Jesus the chills! Gets me every time.
Exactly!!! That’s what I was thinking!! I was wondering why it felt kind of eerie and scary after finishing the game
Will the Circle be Unbroken is amazing in this game, so peaceful and tranquil, so beautifully sung, the only horrifying part is when you see the guy saying "This is Heaven" of course this is the first time I played it, God I wanna play this for the first time again!
The 1 dislike is Comstock
big chungus oo nah nah
@@add8239 have to smuggle the origin one..
rather the dislike would be of the Vox Populi
@@electrogamer1223 you're right, i barely remember commenting this and i'm not sure why i did, also not sure why it has so many likes, but that's definitely more accurate lmao
wE aRE aLL cOMSTOCK
Bioshock infinite has a very studio Ghibli movie feel. Its very colorful and beautiful but has this sad feeling to it you cant explain.
From all the BioShock Infinite videos with background music and noise from the game, this one is definitely one of the best ... it not only captures the essence of what Columbia is but it is also linear, following the order of events ... listening to this brings back memories of Elisabeth and Booker ... Thank you for the video!
Thank you so much for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
My only complaint is in one section there is a child's laughter on an obvious repeat, but seeing as this is recorded in-game that's on the devs ;)
I listen to this every time I go on a plane and imagine seeing Columbia in the horizon
Hallelujah!
Okay, this comment made me shed a tear. Aside of the thing of Columbia being a corrupted place, it's a city full of soul and magic esence that makes you wonder living in it.
MIB Agent: "This is the fifteenth time we've caught you snooping around and yet you seem eager to be neuralyzed. Why?"
Me: So I can play Bioshock Infinite for the first time again.
Now that I've played through Infinite, I find it so emotionally conflicting upon replaying to go to the raffle and start the action of it all, ruining the lovely serenity and peace of Columbia. Or after rescuing Elizabeth and waking up at the little beach area, I don't wanna go anywhere or shoot anything because I enjoy the peace of it all too much.
You played it so you know that the "peace" is just an illusion... Just Anna's dream of Paris in the DLC, it's not real...
Wow, makes me even more grateful I've never seen the game part of this...only love the music, so haunting.
If only the game allowed you to save wherever you wanted instead of forcing you to rely solely on checkpoint saves.
One of my favorite things to do is to listen to music while I'm reading or studying, writing, et cetera, and I stumbled across this video and I have to say, I really enjoyed that this isn't just a sound file rip on a static background. The fact that I can hear the parade in the background during the quartet is just so immersive and it really helps me focus even more. Big thanks for this and keep this up. I really enjoyed this.
Thanks for watching:)
That's because there are people that care about how soundscapes can make all the difference to your mood, even if it's subliminal. I am all about ambience and how the audio is just as important as the visual, especially when it can emphasize the aesthetic.
After 7 years since I played this game, I still go back to listening its beautiful soundtracks to relive one of the most beautiful gaming experience I've ever had. Bioshock is truly a masterpiece
True that. It really deserves more attention.
27:00 that’s “girls just wanna have fun” in carnival music form that’s amazing😂👏🏼
GIVE THIS MAN SOME CREDIT THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
Glad you enjoyed it:) Thanks for watching!
@@WadeWojcik Thank You for this :)
My favorite thing to do in this game is just see the city and hear all the ambience. Thanks for the amazing work in the video
I want to erase my memory of playing this game so I can play it all over again.
Love the "girls just want to have fun" at the 27:00
and I discover also Tears for fears 'every body wants to rule the world' ! (around 31:30)
@@davearn3557 And 29:35 sounds a bit like the Mario Odyssey Rooftop party remix lol
(ua-cam.com/video/igN_xplhm9Q/v-deo.html)
When I first noticed that I was like "hold on just a second-"
@@Konayo_ Because both games have jazzy soundtracks
Glad I'm not the only one that heard that.
I swear, this game, the way I feel about it, its unexplainable
No need to explain, we all feel it. Nostalgia, unease with the way the modern world has become, appreciation of what our forebears went through and the amazing world they built for us, only for us to disrespect it and tear it down, the realization that the so-called Vox Populi were evil all along just like the social justice and BLM movements are in our own world...
How, does this not have more views? This is amazing!
Thanks for watching! Please feel free to share:)
Being in the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
Patrolling Columbia almost makes you wish for a Nuclear Winter.
@@rosegraham5283 damn, you beat me
Agree
I'm sure Booker and Elizabeth had downtime in between combat or when they're not being chased for sightseeing, having ice cream, or standing at Columbia's edge at dusk. Good thing there was no romance and neither knew their relation to each other.
these games hold a permanent place in my heart...
I think the reason why i like this bioshock so much is cause your the spark that lights the powder-keg that leads to the chaos throughout the game
I know it’s crazy but I finally finished this series last week. I have been stuck in this daze of this miraculous world and the lovable characters. This game has permanently changed my life. The messages and themes I hold close to my heart and the music is memorizing. I can’t wait for the newest game and I hope to see y’all in the comments then. Thank you for this amazing ambience it helps me remind myself of how badly I want to walk the streets of Columbia
Bioshock infinite in vr would be life changing
I can’t finish bioshcok 2! Keeps crashing and I’m like in the middle of the game! Other 2 or awesome tho
Welcome to the Bioshock family my friend.
I feel your comment about it changing your life deeply friend. I've never experienced a game that showed me what I want out of life so much just from the joy and liveliness of the characters and demanded i just go do it (dewitt, rather) and go live that life and be who I want to be. Really broke me down and built me back up, all in 10 hours. A real literary treasure and the best the gaming medium has to offer
@@MikeMike-dv7iv i know what you mean. Its Hard to Play it but if you didnt finished it than do it and play the dlc. The whole game serie is so amazing so hang on and play it 😀
Best game series I've done very recently and what a pleasure to discover the lore, the characters, and not to mention the music
When i first play the game and had the opportunity to walk around this city of Colombia. I often thought that it would be great if someone could build a theme park base on Colombia. I mean even this is a digital landscape that is meticulously built. People still want to take the time to explore the city, every corner of it.
I agree!!
Or a Rapture Theme Park! I would love that just as much!
I feel like Main Street at Disneyland is very similar. Not exactly a theme park of Colombia, but it has a similar feeling.
The theme park could feature the best of Columbia outdoors and in retail shops, and the worst of Columbia when you go into the rides. It would be amazing.
@@mosespray4510 Yessssssss!
This might be the most beautiful ambient video I've ever seen. On my second playthrough of Bioshock Infinite I remember lingering in the very areas spotlighted here, just so I could take everything in. It's a rare game indeed that takes this much care creating a world before firing a single shot.
I completely agree, and felt the same way. Which is what made me wanna make this video. Thank you for watching:)
That first song the one when you walk into culumbia is beautiful
It is...just as beautiful as I remember it. The first hour of this game is absolutely breathtaking, these are one of the games I played that just put an impact on me, even after I was done with it for over a week I was thinking about the ending and how it blew my mind. Don't even get me started on the ending to the dlc.
there is something odd and magical staring off into the horizon and seeing the islands float adrift especially in soldiers field that has a somber feeling different from rapture. rapture was claustrophobic and grand, but colombia is so big and open it feels lonely and dead almost, thats why its so serine i guess, few games and locations give me that feel, this game is pure art
Uh, yea, but ya got it backwards m8. Rapture seemed far more lonely and dead to me, though serine is definitely accurate. Columbia is a happy place. Too happy and too beautiful. First time I played it, I was more on edge that I was when playing in rapture. It just didn’t feel like “bioshock” at first haha
@@hahahowfunny5921 you can’t really say I have it backwards when this is my person experience with Columbia and rapture, yours
Is your own and it’s 100% valid, but mine is 100% valid too to myself, but I can see what you mean about Columbia being much more cheerful and happy, and I get that too but when you leave comstock centre and your reach certain places in Columbia, you see past the pomp and grandeur and it just felt empty and lonely in a eerie and beautiful way
@@samzadeh2518 yea yea that part too!! Something about it DID feel eerie and weird, it made me uneasy! Even though everyone was happy and festive, it felt like something evil was behind the corner. Ofc, that was later verified. Who’d have known that their religious script was nothing more than a declaration to take over the world? 😂 even I thought it was too literal!
@@hahahowfunny5921 I honestly don’t know if there will ever be another game like this where besides the amazing story and gameplay, will have a seething that just feels so extraordinary and eerie
@@samzadeh2518 hmm… I’m sure there are different experiences but just as good. I’ve played about a thousand games now but I can’t think of one right away. Though, I would recommend casual masterpieces like persona 5 or nier automata. They both made me feel about the same extent as the bioshock series. Well, just keep exploring the gaming world. I’m sure there’s another game just for you that you can confide in. 😄👍There’s nothing quite like games and anime is there?
Absolutely surreal game. Just indescribable. Unmatched. Just look at this scenery. Look at this atmosphere!
Thank you for this memorable soundtrack. I'm still quite emotional towards the game since i last played it 5 years ago. Almost bought tears in my eyes.
I'm part of the graduation class of 2020/2021 (feb to feb) and so far it's mostly been studying online for me. I must've played this playlist nearly every day I was working on graduation and man if it wasn't for this playlist I would have finished a lot less work. Thank you so much for this video, it really helped and honestly all the music is so good
I've always loved the music to this specific game, it had such beautiful graphics too
Never delete this gorgeous video
This game did such a good job capturing old Americana
Man, thank you for making this. It must have been a lot of work
This is honestly one of if not the best game series ever made
I've played this game since it came out when i was 17. Ever since my VERY FIRST playthrough i have been searching for some kind of video like this. THANK YOU so much
One of the most attractive settings I've played in a game with one of, if not the most enjoyable companions. It almost made meda me forget that, after all, this *is* a Bioshock game, so of course it had to remind me by the third act by throwing likely *the* most gut-wrenching and emotionally scarring sequence that to this day has made it impossible for me to replay the game in full. I adore the alternate reality shenanigans they pull in this series. It screws with your mind on more than one occasion, and regardless of the criticisms it's gotten from other fans, I think it nails as a sort of mystery theme as opposed to its horror predecessors. I've played all three, and although I liked the aesthetics and themes of the first two, Infinite's vibe is the one I'd go for any second of the week.
1:34 The amazing voice of Jessy Carolina. She sings "After you're gone" too in Bioshock Infinite. Thanks for share this!
Saved to playlist "The Best" thank you. I truly appreciate your fine work on this, the scenes connect perfectly. 'Thank you ' just isn't enough.
Thanks so much:)
I'm testing my new headphones with this videos and I'm unexpectedly moved by the memories 🥲
never ever touched any of the bioshock games however once i have money ill play it someday
This is the No.1 most beautiful and aestethic game EVER made!
Agreed!
I wish I could live in Columbia.
I would absolutely love to live in such a beautiful Metropolis. I wouldn't like the Quasi-Fascist 1910's Jim Crow vibes though.
@@Mana-xd2tp that was the point though, wasn't it? You can't create an artificial paradise without somehow shoving all the ugliness somewhere.
@@NJ-wb1cz It's like the American version of Welthaupstadt Germania
I love listening to this while I’m painting/drawing the walls of my house
well shit I've been here before, huh?
You did a amazing job, thanks for your effort and dedication. Much appreciated and thanks for sharing this 'Bioshock love letter' to the world!
Thank you so much!
I listen to this at least once a week while working, this is the shit.
I've played this game enough to imagine all the scenery just when hearing the music, the background sounds really help
I played this game with my boyfriend at the end of 2021. He had already known the game for a long time, he even had the protagonist's tattoos, and I knew the game from a gameplay that ended up making me not like it. So he decided he would make me play and show me how good the game was... and I'm glad he did. This game touched me in a different way.
This game is about alternate realities...no game had hit me on such a level before. You want to cry, you want to wonder, you want to think back. It gets me thinking deeply into the vast multiverse, and how we are all just little grains of sand in a desert..
One of the best games ever made. Classic.
The atmosphere in this series is incredible! Thank you for uploading without ads. Keeps the mood flowing throughout the video. ♥️
This is the best video that has ever been put on UA-cam. I may be a bit biased because I'm a huge BioShock Infinite fan, but capturing all these mesmerizing moments in one single video is is in my opinion more than genius.
12:15 the feeling of the beginning of this amazing adventure
34:57 Do you remember the moment when you accidentally hear CCR from red tear? And she sings it. So...
*cool*
i miss her
My favourite game and now my favourite method of studying. Went through all the OSTs and Bioshock 1 ambience. Stumbled across this and now it's just on repeat. Thanks for putting this together!
This video is absolutely beautiful. The background noises of Columbia really drew me into the music. I haven't played through the game yet (I'm still on Bioshock 2) but this video really has raised my expectations. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Like, really, thank you
Can’t believe it took so long to get me here. I’ve loved this game, loved this vibe, loved the music too ofc. Their views on race could use some work but otherwise, Columbia is gorgeous.
I like how Bioshock games have shown every ideology at its extreme though. A libertarian Rapture, a radically conservative Columbia .. and even the other side of the coin, when identity politics takes over Columbia and basically slaughter half the town, leaving it in anarchy and ruins.
But yeah, Columbia and Rapture are both beautiful, the guys who made the architecture of both towns are geniuses.
It brings tears to my eyes idc what people say about this game I love all the bioshocks 😭
That ascending part will never leave my memory
The ambience is totally crazy
Bioshock is one of the most visually appealing games I’ve ever played. I fell in love with it.
I couldn’t possibly say thank you enough, but thank you thank you thank you.
This soundtrack is one my all time favorites and I’m so happy to have found this :)
Incredible! I could listen to this all day. Oh wait... I already do!
Жизненно
Such a great idea having the ambience from different scenes with different songs accompanying them!
So happy this existed. I was afraid at first that it will have some of those scary moments in the game. But I'm so happy it didn't. Thanks!
What a beautiful and peaceful city, surely nothing could go wrong with such a place; oh look a raffle!
Maybe we just want to walk about this beautiful city in the clouds, learn about people and the world. Maybe some of the violence can happen, but mostly you're just a new comer trying to find a girl and end up swept into a multidimensional conspiracy
The first parts of the game just getting to see the city and explore without a gun constantly drawn was so calming.
Still one of my favorite games. wow the sounds of this world is 10/10.
it's really great you did this with the actual ingame environment
Masterpiece... i’ve been finding this list up...
ive played this game 4 times now (yes ive played both bioshocks already) BUT IM PLAYING IT AGAIN LOL my lord this music is so nice i play most of the game just to hear it. the whole massive and terrifying look to the old style of life.. collecting coins in random locations, making you admire every single detail to the game. they did so well. there will never be a game better than this. no doubt about it.
Thanks ken and group of angels for make this MASTERPIECE comes true. Men when i play this for my old 360 its like the first time for me. Im broken in tears after listen all music when the circle be unbroken men my heart beating harder. This is a movie game 10000/10000 rip elizabeth booker and my favorite character Songbird😢❤ when the circle be unbroken
I love the songs, i love the game (all franchise!), i love Jesse Carolina, i love the images and, off course, i always in love with Elizabeth (like every guy who meet her heheh). Thanks!!!
RomuloBarva
Oh yes, Elizabeth is so lovable!
One of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played. And my favorite has got to be the girls just wanna have fun one. That and when Elizabeth is dancing cuz you really feel for her in that moment.
Fink just jamming to goodnight irene is both amazing and sad lol
You got me at the 0:00 mark that piano and the view of colombia was so great, they did it justice just like the reveal of rapture.
Creo que no muchos aquí hablan español pero este es un gran video que me trae muchos recuerdos. Bioshock es un juegazo.
I love ur video m8
One thing I've been wondering for a while now, is why they never fully released the soundtrack in album format. Id love a vinyl record with all this music!
Can we agree that it's not the best game ever but probably the most beautiful and moving and also a true piece of art?
I don't see a reason why it can't be the best haha. Very, very few media has this good of a story, yet alone the games. I know games aren't just about the story but still, I don't see any lacking area.
I cannot thank you enough for this, it feels like I'm going through Columbia for the first time once more, no enemies or risk, just being in the setting.
Sometimes I would like to reset my memory just to play the game with the same feeling of wonder I did have the first time. Fortunately, part of such wonder survives, playthrough after playthrough, but it isn't quite the same thing as the first run. Love this game so so much!
Bioshock Infinite was like my marriage started as a dream ended with me drowning ....in sadness lol.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I’ve been thinking about the music for this game so much, thank you for providing it!
Imagine open world Columbia, oh my god🤤
Thank you so much for this. I go back and play the game once a year. This is amazing 👏
You're gonna make me do a 3rd playthrough!
29:34
The Best Part.
Btw I LOVE YOUR VIDEO!
Hey man, thank you so much for this breathtaking ambient soundtrack. It seriously helped me get through my first semester and I can't believe how much work you put into this
Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m very happy you enjoyed it:)
The baptism place ambience is very chilling, giving off a pleasant but creepy vibe
i just sit around and think about bioshock
Playing this 5th morning in a row! Thank you Wade, for this amazing video. It' one of the best things I've ever experienced!
After playing every Bioshock I say this is the best one
Such an incredible video! I wish I could find videos like this for all the BioShock and Dishonored games!
Only now listening to the music closely did I realize there's a harmonic rendition of "Girls just wanna have fun" @ 26:35. Now the tear at the musicians home, near the end of the game, makes more sense.
These are my fave type of ambient videos good quality sound amazing visuals that change and great transitions to the next song 🤩 not just a loop with static and loud background sounds 😅 Amazing job! Loved this 💞
I wish I could have amnesia so I could experience this and the bio shock franchise for “ the first time “ all over again.
And battleship bay jig is definitely my favorite
