Lyrics:
Hello, subject three-nine-ten.
We’ve come to test with you again.
Because there are quotas that we aren’t keeping.
We’ll never meet them if you’re left sleeping.
And if the Samba themes we beamed into your brain,
Still remain...
It’s just the sound of science.
We kept you dreaming peaceful while.
We arranged our portal tiles.
'Neath our heartless master’s watchful eye.
You’ll cheat death for us to analyse.
Or you’ll be stabbed by the spikes of a moving wall,
That crush your skull...
That’s just the sound of science.
And when you reach the exit-door,
You’ll find ten thousand chambers more.
Although we’re not sure what the data means...
You’ll face acid pits and laser beams!
As machine-guns ring and turrets sing your name,
As they take aim...
It’s just the sound of science.
Fire your portal gun in vain...
Each catwalk leads back whence you came...
Hear our words and try to understand;
We do what we must because we can!
And when you’re bested by our tests and left to fall...
...as do they all...
You heed the call of science!
One by one they bowed and prayed...
For the chocolate cake she made.
And should you reach the day your science is done...
You’ll assume the party position.
And be escorted to the room full of cake and definitely not full of flames.
But if there’s pain...
Your screams are just the sounds of science....

This song is quite calming without the lyrics. Especially with the tech-y instruments.
Honestly Simon and Garfunkel were amazing. They have plenty of great songs like this one.
KvAT this is a sad sad mental scenario you just painted for me lol.
It really is, imagine a Lofi remix of it
I believe the word your looking for is synth
I use this song for homework(instrumental)
Something you've really got to give props to is how perfectly Harry matches the instrumentals to the original Portal soundtrack. The combination of more traditional and orchestral instruments with synthesizer added along with it gives it that extra Portal feel to it. Listening to one of these instrumentals sounds like your listening to a score from the official soundtrack. Amazing work as always, Harry.
There are also elements of some of Portal 2’s soundtrack there, like Reconstructing More Science (I think)
That's why I have complex feelings for this song. I usually don't like to see people tampering with what I tend to consider "classics". But this is just so incredibly well executed that I actually like it. So I'm hating on it because I hate myself for not hating it, if that makes sense.
Everyone: He’s back
Me: It’s only been a week
Wait really? It felt like 6 months
Yep
6 MONTHS,
EHY
Actually 2 weeks
('O')
**genuine confusion**
Harry101UK dropping masterpiece's faster than the turrets dropping bullets to test subjects!
Yes
Yes
Woulda worked better as "Faster than the turrets dropping test subjects with bullets"
So slow
The thing he does differently is he drops the whole masterpiece he doesn't leave the shell of the masterpiece behind that's 30% more masterpiece
I like how portal has been out for like a decade and he still makes entertaining content out of it. I salute the true man of culture. Thank you harry.
EDIT: I edited this comment
I’m just so GLaD that the franchise is still remembered & loved by the community & content creators...
@@UnsightlyThinker You speaking only facts Maleeka
Cloture?
@@poofa4009 You've never heard of cloture? Everyone knows about cloture
@@UnsightlyThinker wasn't Portal Stories: Mel released officially only a couple years ago, too?
weird to be only 11 minutes late to a harry101 portal upload I'm used to being a year or two late
You put it into words
Mood
You've probobly gotten better at getting out of that toster on time
only 1 or 2 years?
At one point i’ve been 4 years late
Really lovely instrumental, it really works well in the Portal style.
The other day I had an idea. A crazy idea.
Aperture Science Home Ec? The H.E. testing initiative?
I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out! Cooking and baking with Atlas and P-body and maybe some cores as well? It seems a little un-Aperture-y on the surface, but don’t forget about how in Don’t Say Goodbye, GLaDOS talks about baking like she actually knows what she’s doing, and in your animation for Detach the Wheatley Core you can see ovens like what we have on the surface. Ok maybe it is a little ridiculous but I think it could be good, if executed properly, and lord knows that best person for that would be you.
At first I thought it would be best as a game, but now that I’m thinking harder about it, I think it could work as just one of the like 10-minute videos.
Just wanted to put that idea out there. Thanks for reading.
That is genuinely a fun sounding idea!
It sounds fun to watch them try and bake, meanwhile they're probably being interrupted by other cores the entire time.
I would totally watch that!
You could totally somehow incorporate the whole test subject removed missing heart thing too XD even if it's just a background thing or a mistaken ingredient 😂😂
Also I would watch the ever-loving Johnson out of that. :D
Cave Johnson: Hello! I’m Cave Johnson and I am Today gonna Make Steaming Hot Jambalaya!
GLaDOS: Welcome to the Aperture Science Baking Test Apparatus. Today, We are going to Bake a Cake out of Dead Test Subjects
Wheatley: Get Some Bread and some Meat, Veggies, Cheese and Mustard. Stack them together and you have a..Sandwich!
Atlas and P-Body: **Electronic Beeping and angry ways of making a Dinner with Steak, Mashed Potato’s and Carrots**
Chell: **Silent How to Basic video**
I love the instrumental version of this so much. It's not as though I haven't watched the real version 50 times, but more that without the actual sounds of the Turrets singing, I can notice the small nuances of camera motion on strong downbeats. It's such a subtle nod to how we interpret sight and sound harmoniously. But it's so easy to miss because of how fluid it is. Harry, if you're not already part of a video editting department SOMEWHERE, the world has suffered a loss. Your absolute attention to subtle details is what transforms this from Excellent to as close to Perfect as Source Film Maker can allow.
Next time you watch this (because everyone should multiple times) pay attention to how long Harry pulls the camera back. How seamless he does it at 2:03 when the turrets are aiming, zooming in at the moment it fires and the music hits a strong chordal downbeat. Again at 2:22 with "Un"- der stand, where you zoom in as the turrets open, making them feel like they've swelled across the screen. At 3:01 when the light turns green with a *ding* that you assume for a moment to be from the light, not the background music. It's incredible how much work has been pumped into this video.
Thank you very much for the kind words! It's nice to know those little touches get noticed, even if it's only subconscious for a lot of people! Whenever I make a project like this, I time every single camera cut and movement to the music, before even the vocals are recorded or mixed in, so it's definitely something I think about very early in production. ^_^
@@Harry101UK man, it shows. Particularly because it's so natural.
Just the vocals really sends it home that the facility is vast, empty and its just turrets to keep the subjects company
Without the background instruments, it just sounds like an actual piece of a portal game, like the quartet etc
I'm a very simple person.
I see Harry101UK, and I click
I see harry i upvote
same
Ditto
Now this is an actual classic.
this SHALL be played at my school’s spring concert. thank you, Harry.
Could you imagine this as a live instrumental offering as a concert?? Its so strikingly beautiful and soul hauntingly astounding at the same time. This blows most "popular" songs out of the water
You're on fire! I love this! Congrats again!
Hello also first, wait no one cares.
You know, I wasnt really a fan of this song.
But when you get just the vocals, it becomes so ominous, I actually love this version :)
I love things like these because it lets you appreciate the music so much more!
I remember watching your videos when i had a portal obsession when I was a little kid. I listened to the wheatly song so many times it's still burned into my brain. I love your videos man.
Harry uploads:
Everybody: good decision.
this showed up in my recommended, it said it was uploaded seven seconds ago. now no one can be annoying and say first.
nice song btw
edit: I reloaded and it was too late
I'm sorry, you tried to stop the annoying 9 years olds.
UA-cam should fix the timing for uploads and comments-
@@clownhours-7715 youtube should just delete the comments that only have 'fIrSt' or 'SeCoNd'
It's so comforting to listen to before our untimely demise.
He's back? This is great, thanks Harry
Edit: UA-cam didn't give me any of his notifications til now :/
Never left
Yeah never left
It was only a week...
It's only been a week
Same
Without vocals sounds so...just perfect 😔👌
I tried to karkoc the beginning
glad there’s still people making stuff for portal! you make such beautiful animations :)
Keep up the great work harry :)
Now, this is epic.
HE'S BACK!
HES BACK
I had to hear the music by itself. Glad I did - I didn't quite catch how you worked the feel of Portal's soundtrack instruments in there. Love it. Well done!
Love this so much!! The instrumental is so nice to listen to as I'm drawing :) Keep up the good work!
Ngl, the instrumental is kinda calming
The calming music at the start truly conveys that this is going to be a start of something great!
HES BACKKKKKKKK
You are the reason I'm absolutely falling in love with the cores!!
I didn't even play Portal back in the 2010s and yet I discovered this year's later, the cores are BLESSINGS to my Robot obsession!
The acapella portion is so hauntingly beautiful.
Harry: Upload another video
Me:eh whatever
Harry: Upload portal video
Me:faster than lightning
Me: trying to do somthing prodactive
Harry:
Watching something so quality is being productive
Also amazing job!! Love this song
Everybody gangsta until Harry101UK ports 99% of portal 1 and 2's assets into Source 2 because DAMN the Vol lighting in that engine is good
Wasn't paying attention, and then the transition from instrumental to acapella happened.
T'was _nice._
im so glad you still do these
I love the new content you make out of the old Portal game. Especially when you mix my favorite song with one of the best games ever. What will come next? „The cores of the Caribbean“? Please! That would be so cool!
Anyways THANK YOU fore the good videos you make!
Ahh thank you so much. I was hoping for an instru and here it is. I love it.
Ahh thank you for this! I've been wanting to cover this song, now I can!💖
Love it. As always great work.
great quality as always! thank you harry!
I love these, thanks Harry
Thank you for making this. It sounds so hopeful.
You are such a content creator u deserves more then a "Million" subscribes keep it up we love your content
This is absolutely brilliant. I think it deserves millions of views.
Never ceases to make me happy seeing these videos. :)
amazing video as always, Harry!
This was beautiful!
Hey he finally remembered his password.
He could've just asked Pepperidge Farm.
So nice to see that you still do portal related stuff
❤️
This makes me calm...
YES!! I've been waiting for this day!
The music is quite haunting. I'd love to see a live orchestral version of this 😍
such a great song
2020 is bringing back so many you tubers I love it
I listen instrumental version again and again. It's so beautiful! I very like full version too but I can't stop playing this music on repeat!
So calming
*Back at it again with the Portal videos*
was waiting for the instrumental version :)
Perfect time to notice this video as I need to sleep and boy is this good music
The video quality is freaking insane in good ways
I don't actually know anything about Portal or other video games, I'm just here because my friend promised this channel had cute robots, and he wasn't lying. This is amazing work. I would like to give Fact Core and the turrets a hug. They seem very trustworthy.
Nice use of the Portal harp. People always forget about the non-synth instruments of Portal 2.
This is so soothing.
Thats my most FAVORITE song from you
Its verry good! I like your channel!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!
Thanks harry!
Can’t wait for the next vid
Ah, the master of SFM is BACK!
Yes...I know it’s only been a week, but hey, I’m excited!
Seriously though, I love this!
This is so beautiful.. how did I miss this?
Oh my, this is so perfect
At first I thought it was just a non-lyrical song and then the acapella hit and I was blasted with amazement
Noble prize Harry10, Noble prize!
Just. Beautiful
Just got the notification! Love your content, sir! =)
Haunting. Thank you.
Just thank you!
i clicked faster than my computer could load
Can we just admire that Chell wore heels during both Portals?
You videos are awesome!!!!!!!!
Great video
Great song
Great channel
As always...
SO GOOD
God this feels so wondrous!
It's fascinating and delighting, that Portal 2 content keeps being made. The game is running a legacy and it's a shame has never been continued. If a Portal 3 was announced, I'd go NUTS!
When portal 3 happens, I will attribute it to you.
Somehow they're more haunting separated than the original. Amazing.
Eyyy it's back!!!
Amazing
Everyone look we need to calm down on the request spamming he is a busy guy give him some time okay?
Harry please read this:
I get your a busy guy but for going home 2 but I think 7 Years is a little over the top for 1 animation so I hope it comes out soon. Thank you for you amazing animations and time you have spent doing these things for us :).
looks great
Your channel is very underated
Absolutely Amazing... now i want portal 3 again :c
I just discovered your channel last night, but I have fallen so deeply in love with your content. I am honestly shocked that in the many years you’ve been doing this, there’s been no opportunities to partner with Valve and a TV network to make this its own series. You guys deserve the highest levels of funding for these incredible projects.
Portal videos never get old. Definitely the best games from Valve. They really came out into their own with Portal.
Even if Half-Life was technically a breakthrough, it was unpolished for many.
Portal has everything perfect.
More Portal videos!
