Troy Wright i Made an alternate versión of this awesome song adding some rain, not that good like the original but you can check it. ua-cam.com/video/rUlM9QwWmFw/v-deo.html
I can't tell you to remember me, but I can't bear for you to forget me. These last few years since I became ill...I'm so sorry for what I did to you, did to us... You've given me so much and I haven't bee able to return a single thing. That's why I want you to live for yourself now. Do what's best for you, James. James... You made me happy. 😭
My fiancé passed away not long before I first ever played this game. The plot couldn’t have hit me any harder. Feeling the pain and loss was all the more real and stronger for me than most people. And I couldn’t help but burst into tears after this scene, especially with this music playing
I can't imagine the pain that you have to go through. That phenomenon seems like something far fetched and impossible to me. You must feel hollow and alone, I hope you are doing well now.
Keep pushing man. Keep walking your way through life. For yourself, for the friends and family you still have, for all of us. It get better, maybe not anytime soon... But it will. Someday, it will. Go on with your life. You make people happy.
It still hurts me that she never had any ill will against James, all of that was in James' own head because he believed she hated him for it. She knows why he did what he did and she apologises for it despite not needing to at all, she sees herself as a burden but appreciated how much he gave her. She loves him to the point that she wants him to forget about her and move on with a new life. He's not a good man but nor is he a bad man, it's not really about right and wrong. She didn't deserve what came to her but I guess that's the point, bad things happen to good people and we don't have the right to judge actions as black and white. The only ones who can are the ones involved
I think he is bad for killing her... he should've tried to contain her as she was dying. Ultimately, it was very hard to do, but he still jumped into an extreme solution. I think what I also dislike is his motive... it would be better if he did it as a mercy kill, but if his words are to be taken at face value - he did it selfishly, to get on with his life.
@@witchypeoniflorallungs3044 Best part is, it's canon lol. One of the devs confirmed it, so you've spent the entire time in Silent Hill, battling monstrosities, seeing people mentally crumble and your pay off? Was right back where you started
@@MRT122YT Ngl at first I was very skeptical and had high expectations. But I really did enjoy everything about it… Except James looks like XQC to me 😂 Not like that’s a terrible thing though, it just made me chuckle a bit. Did you like it?
@@Brancovtn65 I haven't played it yet, my pc cant run it lol but I finished the ps2 version and it's hands down the best game I have ever played. Well its nice to see that u liked the game.
I thought I heard it in the leave ending when James confronts María, it sounds very little but for me it was enough, I love this song, it's my favorite
It plays on both of those. This theme plays in any ending where James talks to Mary on the bed, plus when he talks to Maria at the pier (Maria Ending).
It is incredible how the song only uses two sounds, one as a knot and the other that solves the harmony. the knot sound only sounds when james speaks and the solving sound sounds when mary speaks. a moment in the scene james begins to express his feelings and tells mary that he hates her, at that moment the song changes knot and resolves the harmony, implying that he is releasing his sorrows, after all this scene is a representation From the end of leaving, James seems to be talking to himself and accepting his past. this game is objectively one of the best games in history takes the narrative to another level, everything in the game counts for something. I use the google translator I hope friends understand me :)
Even if this may sound childish or weak to some people, I really have a strong bond with this song. First played silent hill 2 shortly after a breakup which affected me a lot. I truly loved her and she moved to another country without telling me anything, she never talked to me after that and I had to learn it through a friend of her (who also told me she cheated on me…). It was a bit hard to process all that, and when I played this game, it hit really hard… and it was that moment in the game which made me release everything I had in me, alone… made me realize that it was really over and made me end the nightmare that was my life at the time.
@@trippieuli8562 thanks my friend, tbh not really things got a bit worse in every aspect of my life so far, but you know still getting up in the morning
@@Yann2020 Keep your head up, friend. Life is brutal and unforgiving, but there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for sharing your story, I'm really sorry that happened - it's unbelievable how cruel some people can be
The first part is, it plays at the very end of the Leave ending, when James and Laura are, well, leaving. I do wish it had played when James and Mary were talking though
This is why Silent Hill 2 is the best in the series. There isn't just escaping an evil town, getting your duaghter back or defeating an evil monster like SH1 and 3. There is actual resolution of the main characters guilt. This conflict , this psychological tension stands out even today. Homecoming tried something similar with alex, but they didn't go all in on that part. They made it a side focus, while the town was the main. Unfortunate, because I did feel his guilt and anguish at the end after beating the boss. Origins had an amazing setup for a deep conflict to be resolved but....I don't really know why they didn't double down on that
I remember this song playing when I beat the game for the first time. If anyone knows which ending I'm talking about, then you would probably understand why afterwards I realized SH2 was simply more than just a game.
Silent Hill 2 it evokes so many strong emotions and represents some really serious topics in a way that almost feels like what some of the emotions make you feel. Team Silent worked hard for this game and i will always adore it. (also yeah one year but idk it makes me happy to see others who love this game too seeing as i know almost no one who has played it irl.)
@@TaintedTownMusic it's funny because until you posted this track,no one ever ever mentioned it. Ever. Since then I kept linking to this vid and promoting it, and now every 'silent hill ambiance' vid uses it lol
This is one of the musical pieces which crushes me on a soul level. It reminds me of the tragic life of Mary and James. It’s almost heavenly. It’s beautiful. It’s morbid. It makes you think about dying.
This one hits hardest for me. The first half sounds bright and calm, but there's that undertone of regret and tender sadness. If one day you have ever truly, entirely loved someone and lost them, you'll feel it in your bones. The memories and heartache in the stasis of nostalgia. Smiles, tender hugs, beautiful moments shared together. And you wish you could just get one second of one of those moments once again, just one single second. Cherished moments lost to the past, never to return. The sadness of having been happy. And deep down you know, that's what makes them so valuable. So you look back fondly, knowing you _had_ that. This music crystalizes all of this perfectly to me.
i hate how game companies claim.. ah yes! the full ost is out on apple music and spotify! but literally THE MOST important song is missing, hello ????????
Nothing and no one could ever take my love for this game away. its my childhood. i love this game from the story to the meanings behind everything....u feel that i can actually relate to the emotions portrayed....especially the depression side of it all and the feeling of being alone. it hits so many feelings in me and will always have a special place in my heart. Silent Hill 2 is a master piece, if only those from Team Silent got more credit for it...the actors two the deserve it for making such a beautiful game and story. the music is so perfect...this song especially the first 1:29 of it. It brings a feeling of well...peace and serenity especially after all the things the game puts you through...this will always be my favorite game.
I can cry so hard with this music. That part in the game really hit me. After this whole nightmarish ordeal, James has a final talk with Mary but, depending on what James chooses to make of it i.e. which ending - this music feels like the void you feel after completing a journey.
James is the player's Maria. James did some horrible things. He suffered for what he did, suffered before it, during it, after it. He's an avatar of grief and sorrow. He regrets his actions and fights to change things that cannot be changed. What he did is unforgiveable. And yet, he's sympathetic because unlike an actual person, James' evolution doesn't continue past this game. So we're left to see James stuck in a loop, meant to represent all the states he has gone through. He's the selfish violence that ended someone he loved. He's the regretful husband who didn't want to lose his wife. He's the caring person who wants to help others, but keeps failing. The reason James is the player's Maria is because he's what *we* want and need all in one. We need to see how he handles his suffering, his mistakes, his choices that condemned him and the choices he strives to make which will not absolve him, but help him find some measure of peace. Like Maria, James shows us what we want to see in him. He is trying to delude himself, but unlike Maria, at the very end, he wants to know the truth. And that's what makes him transcend Maria.
The delicate whispers of the past bring with them echos of our own existence. And with that comes conflicting feelings: on one hand, ominious omens, on the other, pure bliss.
It's amazing what the power of beautiful Silent Hill music can bring to one's inner thoughts and make them imagine whatever they feel goes good with the track, thus making ourselves feel at Peace & Serenity.
This song (and the moment it accompanies) is so tragic and heartbreaking. It leaves me with a deep feeling of sadness, regret, longing, and ultimately… catharsis. Emotions I’m sure James felt in that moment. What a game.
there was a period of time where i would fall asleep to no commentary playthroughs of SH2. That sounds weird, I know, but there's something rhythmic and hypnotizing about the sound design and pacing of the game. Even the horror elements are more quietly eerie than shocking. I found myself waking up at this part of the game a lot, sometimes even still in the middle of the night. for whatever reason, something about this track would stir me awake and implant itself in my brain, somewhere in the shift between dreams of my past and my current reality. the song feels like gazing into the distance out of a cloudy window and seeing the one thing or person that made life worth it, even for just an instant, before you draw the curtains to sit alone in the quiet.
Reading your comment while listening to the soundtrack gave me a feeling that I've never felt my whole life, like being passed out while still awake, can't even describe it in words.
This track feels along the lines of the light at the end of a long dark tunnel, or at the very least a clear headedness after trudging through a quagmire of grief. A sense of clarity that tells you that everything really will be alright, and that you really will get through what’s baring down on you from all sides.
TaintedTownMusic Agreed. James had to past trough all that. Only after the storm that the calm arrives. Trough suffering we get stronger and discover our true self
I just realized that Sewerslvt sampled this for hopelessness. I'll never forget how she described that piece to me, everything she was feeling at the time. back before she deleted a bunch of her community posts on her youtube channel. she probably won't see this, but if you do. Thank you.
i literally just found this out because someone used this song in another video and i was like "hey that sounds familiar", so i asked them what song it was, and it was this compared this to hopelessness and it was unmistakable. goddamn never played sh2 (will fix that eventually) and i haven't been listening to jvne's music for very long but man this song is a seriously good sample to use for a song titled hopelessness. kind of ironic too given the title of this song
This still brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. When I hear this song I always imagine myself flying above the Earth, watching the Sun rising over the horizon. Emotions overflow me and I can't hold the tears. It's so beautiful and peaceful.
This moment in the game… God, man. Just sitting there, listening to the full letter, watching James and Laura disappearing into the fog as silence falls over the cemetery, recalling your harrowing journey and realizing that’s it’s finally over.
When I first played this, all the way back in 2003. I knew nothing about depression or loss. Cut to 2023 having gone through a major phase of depression, this now hits like a train.
Depression's been with me for most of my life, due to family issues and poor living conditions. This game and its soundtracks always hit like a fighter jet for me
this is like waking up completely recovered from a fatal disease. bright sunny day outside. something beyond acted. until the dusk of time, it will stay an inviolate secret, but you have your truth back. the blue sky, the inner. breathe
I listened to this whole complete soundtrack & i knew this song was coming. Makes me choke up even after all these years. That conversation between James & Mary is really really sad
This track reminds me so much of "God moving over the face of the waters by Moby". That quiet tranquility that engulfs you while listening to both of these tracks are blissful.....
Finding out that this track isn't in the remake is probably the utmost disappointment I've felt in a long time, as I felt it really fit with the conversation between James and Mary. I'm curious about what replaces it, or if there's an absence of music for that scene. This track meant so much to me though. I found it before playing SH2 for the first time, when I was at a really low point mental health wise and was battling my own internal conflict as I realized I'd become a pretty awful person both to myself and others. This track allowed me to make peace, which is what the Leave ending was all about. I still love the remake though, and I'm sure they'll make that final conversation hit regardless. It'll be interesting to return to those scenes at a higher point in my life, though I'm still working some stuff out.
Eu finjo que não percebo, mas tudo está sendo observado. O esperto se faz de bobo para ver ate onde o burro se faz de inteligente. Nesse jogo sutil, cada movimento é estratégico e cada palavra tem um significado oculto. por trás do meu sorriso sereno estou atento a cada detalhe, absorvendo informações e compreendendo motivações. Aprendi que nem sempre é prudente revelar todas as cartas que tenho na manga, pois conhecimento é poder e paciência é uma virtude. Às vezes é mais sábio agir discretamente, permitindo que outros revelem suas intenções sem interferência. Afinal, a melhor defesa é a percepção aguçada, capaz de desvendar as tramas sutis que permeiam as interações humanas. enquanto alguns tentam me enganar com seus truques, observo com calma, ciente de que minha aparente ingenuidade é apenas uma estratégia para extrair informações e revelar as camadas ocultas da personalidade de outras pessoas. Não se trata de malícia, mas sim de auto preservação, de proteger meus valores e princíp
It's amazing how only two sounds end up creating one of the most emotional music in the game, the composer of this game went beyond just creating music...
“The truth is, I hated you. I wanted you out of the way, I wanted my life back.”
“James…..If that were true, then why do you look so sad?”
"James... Please do me a favor... Go on with your life"
MONO4608 man. The memories
Powerful statement

it's so over

I felt sorry for James because of his need to kill her to end her suffering.
this was a sad game
@dividednations44 he realizes that in the end, and his entire ordeal in the town was because he hated himself.
Did he ever really meet Mary though? Wasn't that just the town? At the end, it's a dialogue with Mary monster created by the town.
The moment you realise that the whole game was all a guilt trip. They don't make them like this anymore.
LITERALLY!

And for what it’s worth, I’ll always love you
This song (and the moment it accompanies) is so tragic and heartbreaking. It leaves me with a deep feeling of sadness, regret, longing, and ultimately… catharsis. Emotions I’m sure James felt in that moment. What a game.
"You made me happy"
Wish I could experience it all over again
This song really does something to me, it's hard to explain. But despite the short loop it's really moving and almost brings me to tears.
This put me in a never-ending loop of sorrow and memories, moments in life I can never get back, or even feel ever again
aii it does feel that way
The breath of god! ... it's so peaceful -___-

I found myself waking up at this part of the game a lot, sometimes even still in the middle of the night. for whatever reason, something about this track would stir me awake and implant itself in my brain, somewhere in the shift between dreams of my past and my current reality. the song feels like gazing into the distance out of a cloudy window and seeing the one thing or person that made life worth it, even for just an instant, before you draw the curtains to sit alone in the quiet.
Damn, that's poetic as shit
I do that too!
Reading your comment while listening to the soundtrack gave me a feeling that I've never felt my whole life, like being passed out while still awake, can't even describe it in words.
Oh hey, it's me. Hello!
It feels like a break in life
This track feels along the lines of the light at the end of a long dark tunnel, or at the very least a clear headedness after trudging through a quagmire of grief. A sense of clarity that tells you that everything really will be alright, and that you really will get through what’s baring down on you from all sides.
Thank you so much for uploading...
Gives me tears everytime😢
This is it! That song brings so much feelings....
He Found peace
TaintedTownMusic Agreed. James had to past trough all that. Only after the storm that the calm arrives. Trough suffering we get stronger and discover our true self
I told you I wanted to die James. I wanted the pain to end.
That's why I did it honey, I just couldn't watch you suffer!
No, that's not true. You also said you didn't want to die.
The truth is I hated you! I wanted you out of my way! I wanted my life back!
James... if that were true, then why do you look so sad?
Mary…
This song is so paceful... just to sleep never wake up...
I just realized that Sewerslvt sampled this for hopelessness. I'll never forget how she described that piece to me, everything she was feeling at the time. back before she deleted a bunch of her community posts on her youtube channel. she probably won't see this, but if you do. Thank you.
I will miss her a lot
i miss her too
I miss her presence, her music got me thru some of the hardest years of my life
i literally just found this out because someone used this song in another video and i was like "hey that sounds familiar", so i asked them what song it was, and it was this
compared this to hopelessness and it was unmistakable. goddamn
never played sh2 (will fix that eventually) and i haven't been listening to jvne's music for very long but man this song is a seriously good sample to use for a song titled hopelessness. kind of ironic too given the title of this song
@@epsilon1572 same bro was it casually from the lol superman search vid?
The perfect music to play as you look outside your bedroom window during quarantine with a hot cup of coffee in your hands.... ❤
God when this song played, I knew my heart was going to break and by God it did (got In Water ending first playthrough. It broke me)
Man I can’t imagine how your play through must’ve went since you got the In water ending.
I finished this game for the first time yesterday as well. Luckily I got the "Leave" ending so it ended on a positive note for me.
@gimpscam9976 can tell you right now I sobbed when the credits rolled lol
This still brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. When I hear this song I always imagine myself flying above the Earth, watching the Sun rising over the horizon. Emotions overflow me and I can't hold the tears. It's so beautiful and peaceful.
"James.. please do something for me.."
"go on with your life."
...
This moment in the game… God, man. Just sitting there, listening to the full letter, watching James and Laura disappearing into the fog as silence falls over the cemetery, recalling your harrowing journey and realizing that’s it’s finally over.
1:34 nearly made me tear up on my most recent playthrough.
Same dude the more you play this game the stronger it gets
"That's not the whole truth honey...."
i heard this in a playlist and sewerslvt appeared in front of my eyes
just faded into existence and i came here
Listening to this takes my anxiety and depression away.
one of the top 3 Silent Hill tracks ever made imo.
When I first played this, all the way back in 2003. I knew nothing about depression or loss. Cut to 2023 having gone through a major phase of depression, this now hits like a train.
Depression's been with me for most of my life, due to family issues and poor living conditions. This game and its soundtracks always hit like a fighter jet for me
Super Eye Patch has great taste in music
this is like waking up completely recovered from a fatal disease. bright sunny day outside. something beyond acted. until the dusk of time, it will stay an inviolate secret, but you have your truth back. the blue sky, the inner. breathe
i don't think i'll ever get over this game
It reminds me of the movie The Mist
This music simultaneously makes me feel like there must be a heaven and like there cannot possibly be one.
I listened to this whole complete soundtrack & i knew this song was coming. Makes me choke up even after all these years. That conversation between James & Mary is really really sad
4m dbest track from sh ... after 10 years when ive played it, still best horror game
I feel your words friend
Aaay la parte en la que Mary le da la carta a James y la lee me hizo llorar una banda 😭. Grandioso juego, lo amé ❤
this track is not in the remake, i wanna die
Bad news bro :(
It is btw
Just not in official soundtrack. Just a reminder this soundtrack is ost not official soundtrack
@@kal-el8402 where did it play in the remake? I didn't hear it.
@@ChazaChang end of the game. I heard in Leave ending. In water ending didn't heard it because every ending have diffirent song now.
@@kal-el8402damn Imma have to go back to hear it
It’s like to pulse of the universe ... serene and divine 😌
I'm so excited the remake of Silent Hill 2 comes this year on PS5 and PC! 😃
"Go on with your life, James."
James Charles
hopelessness 💜
*Hopefulness
Mr. Krabs body slamming a baby
thanks
My favourite track of all time. Perfect masterpiece.
Not gonna lie, i really cried in this scene. Man, i fucking love this game!
1:31 this part hits so hard like a kick in the nuts, cha-chomp!
i feel like this is the song that plays in the last moments when you lay your head to rest...
This track reminds me so much of "God moving over the face of the waters by Moby". That quiet tranquility that engulfs you while listening to both of these tracks are blissful.....
why my brain can't make me happy
"what?! But... I'm what you wanted! Mary is dead! Don't you understand?! She's not coming back."

Finding out that this track isn't in the remake is probably the utmost disappointment I've felt in a long time, as I felt it really fit with the conversation between James and Mary. I'm curious about what replaces it, or if there's an absence of music for that scene.
This track meant so much to me though. I found it before playing SH2 for the first time, when I was at a really low point mental health wise and was battling my own internal conflict as I realized I'd become a pretty awful person both to myself and others. This track allowed me to make peace, which is what the Leave ending was all about. I still love the remake though, and I'm sure they'll make that final conversation hit regardless. It'll be interesting to return to those scenes at a higher point in my life, though I'm still working some stuff out.
Its amazing how Akira captured what the last breaths of life would sound like.
This track makes me cry so bad :'(
Eu finjo que não percebo, mas tudo está sendo observado. O esperto se faz de bobo para ver ate onde o burro se faz de inteligente. Nesse jogo sutil, cada movimento é estratégico e cada palavra tem um significado oculto. por trás do meu sorriso sereno estou atento a cada detalhe, absorvendo informações e compreendendo motivações. Aprendi que nem sempre é prudente revelar todas as cartas que tenho na manga, pois conhecimento é poder e paciência é uma virtude. Às vezes é mais sábio agir discretamente, permitindo que outros revelem suas intenções sem interferência. Afinal, a melhor defesa é a percepção aguçada, capaz de desvendar as tramas sutis que permeiam as interações humanas. enquanto alguns tentam me enganar com seus truques, observo com calma, ciente de que minha aparente ingenuidade é apenas uma estratégia para extrair informações e revelar as camadas ocultas da personalidade de outras pessoas. Não se trata de malícia, mas sim de auto preservação, de proteger meus valores e princíp
Put this on Spotify. Please
Hard to believe two chords can be so moving.
only played the first Silent Hill ♡ but damn those Soundtracks bro
*wheezing*
“Mary!”
“James do something for me..”
*go on with your life*
AH-GUH.
“Mary!”
Mary,.
I'm a Resident Evil fanboy(Hence why I'm here because the music is similar) but I'm slowly getting into the Silent Hill games.
So addictive
It's amazing how only two sounds end up creating one of the most emotional music in the game, the composer of this game went beyond just creating music...
You should try playing with Sound pads yourself some time. If you layer the notes, two chords can suffice to bring you into a introspective mood
Happy 20th anniversary SH2.
James, you made me happy.🥺
from an artistic standpoint SH2 doesn't need a remake
But promise me one thing James. That you'll get on with your life
This track always makes me cry....
The first time I saw the leave ending in this game, my breath was just taken away.
I didn't know the song's name till now and it fits very well
Sewerslvt was a genuis sampling this
