Entering Outer Expanse.. Seeing the clouds pass by, the old, old, ancient structures, built long before even the iterators came to be, now a crumbling, ever more primitive construct. As soon as this starts playing while you scale the poles and finally stand on the crumbling platform.. It hits. Downpour is a masterpiece.
This will be us someday. Humanity long forgotten. Lost to the sands of time. Eventually, all civilizations come to an end, including ours. Our technology, music, art, books, religion, holidays, traditions, and media will all decay into ruins. One day, beings beyond our understanding may come upon our empty world, now overtaken by nature, and wonder what we could have been if we had not brought about our own demise. Could we have been friends with these beings? We will never know because we will not be around to witness it. Humanity is still growing, and we have not yet reached the point of advanced evolution. We may never even reach the point of traveling the stars and leaving behind the planet that cradled us in its arms, protecting its creatures and life forms from the harshness of space. For when I look at abandoned buildings, and old structures hearing this soundtrack, I know- Extinction is a never-ending process. It is forever.
*Major Saint spoilers!* "Do you see the same as me? Beauty continuing to bloom in a place long forgotten. I did not have the will to depart, not the desire. Why did they always search for escape, as if we were imprisoned? What offering from the void could usurp the gift of life already given? This moment, right here! It is where we are meant to be."
This implies some really disturbing shit about the ascension ritual. I imagine many of them didn't actually want to go, but many were rounded up on trains, brought to the pools and against their will they were forced to ascend. I like to imagine maybe the elites of ancient society were fanatically zealous freaks who wanted to escape the cycle and wanted to force everyone else to ascend with them, but most like this echo were content with life the way as it is now. They left the outer expanse in ruins, plunged the world into an endless maelstrom, and created new gods all in the blind pursuit of ascension. But what about the everyday person? what about the laborers in the void drills and the workers who actually built the glorious super structures, we get shockingly few accounts from them which sadly is pretty accurate to real life. The most well preserved historical documents tend to usually be written from the perspective of the upper classes, its really hard to paint a picture the life of regular people sometimes.
@@derpherp1810 There's a broadcast on Spearmaster's campaign where two Iterators talk about their inhabitants. One of them mentions a particularly zealous and abrasive grand master of cabinet of theirs. They say those who abided by his system enjoyed luxurious lives, while those who didn't would be forced to endure abysmal living conditions. I wouldn't be surprised if many Ancients ascended more out of obligation or indoctrination than of real desire to leave.
"We echoes are what remains of what we were. Fragments too bound to this world to truly leave it, but in the past tried foolishly to do so anyways. Now we remain as wavering memories, cursed to watch as the things that once held us crumble and rot and turn to dust, and remain longer still. We yearned for more time, and now we will have it forevermore. In a world that grows increasingly alien, we can only sit and watch, with only the occasional visit of another to communicate with. And yet, we never talk amongst ourselves, so if you don't mind me asking... ...what keeps you bound, little one? Why are you still here? Why do you choose to share our fate?"
Bro the first time I heard this play while playing as survivor I got so emotional. Survivor and Monk return to their home at long last, but all their family members are gone. They either migrated somewhere unknown or asended. Even tho they have each other it's still really sad to think that they're the last two slugcats that remains of the community we saw in Gourmand's campain.
something about this track makes me feel safe but also kind of nostalgically sad. comfy and bittersweet at the same time. i can pretty confidently call this one of my favourite songs.
I wish there was more flora overgrowth in other regions, the lush plantlife in the outer expanse and undergrowth looks absolutely gorgeous and is my favorite aspect of these regions
This is easily the best song in the whole Downpour soundtrack, in my opinion. I'm probably a little biased by the fact that this plays in the introduction to my favorite region in Downpour (and all-together), but if there's one song that I had to choose to be the main theme of the game other than Sundown or any of it's variants, it would be this song. It's one of the most hauntingly beautiful yet somber tracks I've ever heard. Right up there with The Coast from the base game, it really makes you feel like you have the weight of this world on your shoulders.
The more organic instruments used in this track and relaxed pacing reflects the Outer Expanse's wild feeling. For an otherwise lively region compared to most of the game, I really like that the (electric guitar?) you hear from 1:33 - 1:59 feel like vestiges of a past technologically advanced race. It reminds you that the terrain and mysterious structures throughout the Outer Expanse you see now is very much shaped by them.
The kind of music that makes me want to run around in field of flowers on a rainy Spring day. Hearing this for the first time sure was a magical experience.
sitting on top of a modern building which was cut in half with perfectly smooth edges a few weeks ago, unnoticed as "nonstandartized mass" removal was taking place, watching how the concrete flower of industrial sprawl unfurls on the other side of valley, growing to endocytize and return value multitold for even greater gardens to take roots in the world we live in now
When you finally come out of Five Pebbles' shadow and climb onto the bright, overgrown remains of the Ancients' palaces and temples, and this begins to play. Simply amazing.
I don't know why people hated rubicon, i loved it. the only difference i can think of is i was expecting hell, and got it after searching for literal years. I was and am so sad that it didn't last very long. :(
I was looking out of my window while listening to this OST and... I realized the place where I live and study looks a lot like the Outer Expance, especially in the evenings. How can I stop thinking about this?? Btw you can easily find photos of it, it is MSU, Moscow State University
This began playing for me while i was waiting for my blu lizor to come to me (i didnt shelter with him). He never came and when i managed to find him, he was gone :( (He was killed by a noodlefly, as i recall hearing one of the infants screeching. We were in room OE_RUIN02)
This started playing in arena mode where I had shoved a raindeer into a little box and was stabbing it over and over and suddenly I felt the Guilt of my actions wash over me. fuck
@@saturn6784 I think they're referring to the murals of the Ancients that you can find at the top of Five Pebbles and Looks to The Moon (in Rivulet and Spearmaster's campaign).

This is one of my favorite tracks in the game

once a great place of worship, now ruined and sinking into the mud, its bells' final tolls still echoing through the infinite ripples of time...

The chills you can get from a simple game like this is crazy sometimes.

FINALLY. Heard this once after doing questionable things in sandbox and have been *searching* for it
sitting on top of a modern building which was cut in half with perfectly smooth edges a few weeks ago, unnoticed as "nonstandartized mass" removal was taking place, watching how the concrete flower of industrial sprawl unfurls on the other side of valley, growing to endocytize and return value multitold for even greater gardens to take roots in the world we live in now
what
Same man
through steel plastic percepts the avangarde of being, exhaust unsure, blood uncaring and still proving that one is not just a mass
im schizo too, brother
When you finally come out of Five Pebbles' shadow and climb onto the bright, overgrown remains of the Ancients' palaces and temples, and this begins to play. Simply amazing.
Almost all downpour regions are amazing, especially outer expanse and submerged superstructure...
Rubicon sucks though im not going there again
i mean it's literally hell in rainworld idk what to tell ya
I don't know why people hated rubicon, i loved it. the only difference i can think of is i was expecting hell, and got it after searching for literal years. I was and am so sad that it didn't last very long. :(
The guitar at the middle is just so emotional. Reminds me of kenshi.
I gotta say it, I think Progfox does some of the best songs in rain world.
🙏🏻
OE with slugpups is the true way to experience rain world
no matter what this music makes me cry
i fuicijn g loev this song so much
Why df everyone talking about saint if this plays in Outer Expanse?? Also this is for me: 0:56
the Undergrowth one is actually "Past echoes" and it was unused in the main game. This one has same vibes to it tho.
I was looking out of my window while listening to this OST and... I realized the place where I live and study looks a lot like the Outer Expance, especially in the evenings.
How can I stop thinking about this??
Btw you can easily find photos of it, it is MSU, Moscow State University
Damn, we even have some sort of iterator in the next building
this is one of those songs that would sound really good on an acoustic guitar
this is the song that made rain world my second favourite game
what's number one? I've played too much rain world I need something else or I'll go insane
@@gavingreenberg4561 Meh, idk, maybe ultrakill, or terraria, yeah, I still dont known which game is better lol
Thought this was gonna be ancient sounding, and then the electric guitars started(?). Best part of the song
This began playing for me while i was waiting for my blu lizor to come to me (i didnt shelter with him). He never came and when i managed to find him, he was gone :(
(He was killed by a noodlefly, as i recall hearing one of the infants screeching. We were in room OE_RUIN02)
Even though this song is said to play in Outer Expanse it feels like this songs is in Saint's campaign.
It is in saint's campaign. Not sure where exactly it plays but i know i heard it when entering from chimney canopy.
This started playing in arena mode where I had shoved a raindeer into a little box and was stabbing it over and over and suddenly I felt the Guilt of my actions wash over me. fuck
Who is still here playing rain world ?
outer expanse
Wow
Arena classic

The outer expanse ending should've been the base game one
:(
yeah the song is kinda sad to me too
It feels like looking back at the past, it's sad but so GOOD RHHAGA
Sounds like a worse Fragments track
ah yes
death pit
