There is an instrumental tune produced by Enya called the Celts that was released on one of her first albums. This tune for the Night Elves reminds me of that in the mood and feel of the music. Very well done!
I don't think many people realize ths, I think one of the reason we pay so "much" for this game is because of qualities like these. The melodies really emphasizes the greatness of Azeroth. You can easily tell they've put some time into composing these great pieces of music art.
When this starts to play in the Worgen beginning... I doubt anyone stopped (unless forced to by RL...) until the battle was over. It's one of the best game tracks ever.
Cata sucked ass. The only good thing about it were the relatively challenging dungeons in the beginning, but other than that there was absolutely nothing good about it.
When I think back to cata, I actually had a lot of fun in PvP during that time. Ofcourse nothing compared to WotLK and before. But it still wasn't that bad.
cataclysm was the beginning of a long line of trash, i don't recognize the game one bit, i miss the days when Dalaran was the shit, they tried to bring it back with Legion but bitch no WOTLK forever.
Music like this is what makes wow more polished, makes its players more emotionally involved in the story, than any other knockoff out there. Tracks like this are actual *art*..and art is the expression of emotion. I can't imagine listening to this and not feeling something..whatever it inspires in you.
Damn I love this composer! Used to be Metal for me, but I think games like wow are bringing on another era of classical music. Soon we'll have it on the radio.
this is why im alliance.. even as blood elf.. I.. keep returning to the alliance.. the horde shall pay... (I actually hear night elves sing when I sleep.. I think Im one at soul.. im dead serious)
John Rambo Oh, come on. Cata was great. They sacrificed end game content for the new zones and stuff, stupid mistake, but it was still great. Don't just remember the dragon soul year.
this makes me happy and sad all at once....i just want to close my eyes, disappear into a green forest, with the wind in my hair and feel the ground under my naked feet. To be overwhelmed by nature, and feel the real power it.
I see a better world with more nature's gifts and more peace when hearing this song. Precisely, this is exactly what i wanted for a home, peace. The atmosphere is cool, misty and windy, the beautiful untouched landscape brings joy to the eye of the beholder. When attacked, i will fight to defend my beloved home. No one can take my home away, no one. For the gods, for victory, down to enemies.
I love the fact you just gave us all a preview of a movie that does not exist. I'm glad to see there are people out there with such vivid and amazing imaginations such as myself. It was like I was watching the intro you just described. Thank you for that :)
F'in amazing thats all I have to say about it. for someone who grew up with an atari 2600 it's shocking how far games have come. Would have never imagined music like this in a video game when i was a kid. Blizzard really nailed it with cata music. This soundtrack is a benchmark that will take many years for other game companies to reach.
I was on my Blood Elf when I flew through the Lower Wilds in Feralas and heard this song. Had to stop my quest to sit around and listen. Hot damn Cataclysm came out with some TREMENDOUS music.
Finally. I have been searching so much for this song and now... I finally managed to find it. A whole year has passed since I've started my search for this song, and months of pure unsuccess have wandered around.. I can't believe it. I still think this is just a dream. Jesus Christ... Whoever made it, GOOD FREAKIN' JOB, oh and thank you for uploading it Krisp4ever. YOU MADE MY DAY !
Its Tuesday so of course all of us players have some downtime. I got this song playin right now...... and all i wanna do is log in and play alllll dayyyy! Thumbs up if you agree with me and having the same feeling!
Love this music. And as for where it plays in-game, you can hear it through out Ashenvale. I recall hearing it a fair bit when you entered into the areas that fights where being fought out (generally Alliance quest areas.).
i embrace the changing face of wow, I burnt out after wotlk, came back a few months before MoP, caught up on my characters and am loving it all over again, fly through a low zone and the music just brings back so many memories. the music, atmosphere and friendships are the main reason for playing this game. theres something in it for everyone.
That's why it should be more than ONE movie! The alliance: a dominating force trying to establish a force of what it believes to be right and true. The Horde: a coalition of beings trying to redeem itself of corruption, yet trying to establish itself as something to say "WE ARE HERE, WE ARE PROUD" of independece! The movie could easily go beyond a trilogy! We need a series, like Harry Potter did!
I remember the very start of this song playing during an early alliance quest in Twilight Highlands out on a sinking boat. A night elf ghost emerges from the sea and then this songs starts playing, I was amazed by how fitting this was for that quest.
@@wraithess She's still technically 'dead' and won't be returning with us to the world of the living when we are done with Shadowlands in two years time.
This is the most amazing music I have heard in a very long time...When the drums kick in it truly sounds epic and I began to get some major chills. At 1:38 and on I can imagine a night elf running through a forest with only the full moon as light. Also I can imagine whisps floating around while they cast some type of arcane spell or summon. If there was any doubt as to who is the coolest most magical race in WoW this song I think proves just who is.
Suddenly, you close your eyes, feel nature grasp your soul, and your suddenly a might bear. And then a swift cat. Amazing, I love druid night elves. If any class should be a druid, for sure night elves.
I just heard this for the first time today while in game. I had to stop what I was doing and just listened, and then immediately looked it up in youtube. This track starts out so beautifully. Thank you Blizzard, you are so much more than games, you are composers, you are artists. Thank you for posting this song :)
The best Cataclysm OST - "Citizens of Azeroth.....Behold!" I played that cimematic so many times before they released this track on UA-cam. Sadly it was the last xpac for me. I lost too many good friends :(
Damn I love this, my 5 years of only playing Night Elves and having become skiled with the Night Elf race in Warcraft 3 makes me have a bond to them and this music brings tears to my eyes.
I might piss some people off for saying this but I think this soundtrack is now on par with the LotR and Star Wars ones. Hats of the the composer and to the uploader.
@TheBucketSkill "Suddenly, you close your eyes" .. I did, and I almost fell asleep. Pretty powerful sleeping remedy ths is. I could sleep to these melodies for ages!
I'm glad made you happy, but there's a ton of old games that are remembered after years...WoW's predecessor, Everquest, comes to mind. I will never forget that game either.
High Elves today exist throughout Azeroth and Draenor. Large pockets of them exist in Theramore, Stormwind, Quel'Lithien Lodge (later most became wretched due to an artifact), Quel'Danil Lodge, Farstrider Lodge, Allerian Stronghold, Dalaran, and according to the now mostly non-canon RPG books, there were settlements near Quel'thalas that are High Elven, most likely referring to the unused zone, but of course, that could be false due to the nature of the RPG books.
I gotta say...the new music for Cata is fantastic. I've played this game for years and this is the first time I've ever sought out the soundtrack. Very good stuff.
If it was possible I would trade everything I have, even my life, to wake up one day in this beautiful world. The nature, the creatures, the people (don't mean humans only). I would love to see night elves, to spend time in their beautiful forests. I would love to visit human and dwarf cities. I want to go Silvermoon city and see beautiful blood elves. I would love to meet taurens and orcs. I would love just to be there, wherever it is, just there...
@aevilpresnts I was under the impression that the Alliance hated the Forsaken because they keep viciously attacking and turning people into Undead servants, and that the Horde hated the Forsaken because they never listen to orders and, again, keep turning people into Undead servants. When you think about it, those are some very good reasons.
Actually i'm a Neutral Pandaren, I live peacefully with trees, grass, animals, my spirit is as pure as my relentless devotion to our eternal emperor Shaohao.
Mists of Pandaria is a great expansion. So much lore about the titans, the old gods and the burning legion. My favorite Expansion with burning crusade.
This is the best sountrack a video game ever offered , its absolutely amazing . Not a night elf my self nor alliance ,but everyone who plays one should be proud :)
I love this song soooooooooo much. I has all my favorite things from WoW music: Elvin Singers, Horde War drums, High/ Blood Elf string instruments, Tauren folk wind instruments, and a little tiny bit of alliance brass. Love it soooo freaking much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting! The moment Cata released, I created a Worgen and enjoyed the flavors of Gilneas before steamblasting through the rest of the continent. I was literally stopped in my tracks when I heard this come from my speakers during a quest in Feralas. I was aiming for one of the first level 85 Worgen (leveled), but I didn't mind taking some sweet time to enjoy this piece of epic.
I don't miss WoW itself, even if I stopped playing when MoP was released... I miss all the good moments I had in Azeroth... from the end of Burning crusade, through and Cataclysm... I played during 5 years, Azeroth was and is still a part a myself. I found no game that gave me feelings that I had running through the Barrens, exploring Nagrands, fighting in Ashenvale or questing in Uldum... All that remains is a darn big nostalgia now ! ;-)
That's great,i'm happy for you.You managed to quit the parallel universe of Azeroth.Respects to you sir.Same with me,i have been playing for 7 months tho.Was hard to quit.
This is normal, people usually start to hate stuff when them become popular. To be honest, the historical context of the first three expansions was the better, because we had seen it on Warcraft, but the gameplay is much better now and the context is good too, it's just new.
Warcraft is about a war between two factions, and Blizzard has pretty much forgotten that. Vanilla had war with all those pvp zones, TBC and Wrath had no war cause both sides knew that the Burning Legion and the Scourge were more important. Catacylsm started to bring back the war with Garrosh in charge of the Horde (but it was put in the background cause Blizz was too busy glorifing Thrall). Now in MoP its full scale war, thats why MoP is so good, its going back to what Warcraft truly is: A WAR
I flew on my Proto over Azshara to get to Hyjal, and when the music came to the calm part at 1:36 the Proto started to glide through the air... It was so fucking epic and so GOOD TIMING!
![Oldest World of Warcraft (1999) Cinematics & Patch Trailers Up to 2006 [Pre-Alpha]](/img/n.gif)
When this played during the charge of Battle of Gilneas quest, It gave me major shivers.
When this played during the charge of Battle for Lordaeron, It will put me in a trance.
@@Mca2012Run When this randomly started playing while I was picking flowers in Ashenvale I felt rather rushed.
There is an instrumental tune produced by Enya called the Celts that was released on one of her first albums. This tune for the Night Elves reminds me of that in the mood and feel of the music.
Very well done!

I cant believe I'm saying this, but I miss Cata.
Cata was great at the beginning but they had to nerf it to the ground cuz players demanded it... I have to admit I miss it as well
I loved the Zandalari Patch. The dungeons were initially very well balanced. Not too easy, not too hard. Just Perfect.
Cata sucked ass. The only good thing about it were the relatively challenging dungeons in the beginning, but other than that there was absolutely nothing good about it.

Jennifer Yolkof once alliance always alliance
Klein miranda well said!
+YiaM - ワイアム thats ahout the only good from cata
John Rambo Oh, come on.
Cata was great.
They sacrificed end game content for the new zones and stuff, stupid mistake, but it was still great. Don't just remember the dragon soul year.

When attacked, i will fight to defend my beloved home.
No one can take my home away, no one.
For the gods, for victory, down to enemies.
This track makes me shiver and gives me goosebumps. The words "WOW!" kinda fits this epic track quite perfectly.
I love the fact you just gave us all a preview of a movie that does not exist. I'm glad to see there are people out there with such vivid and amazing imaginations such as myself. It was like I was watching the intro you just described. Thank you for that :)
I feel like this is the perfect interpretation for this race, most definitely.
I changed to wicca and it helped me so much embrace nature and its beauty...i'm living in Teldrassil!

same here, played since 2006, finally quit in 2012, and here i sit in 2013 still missing it.
Props to the woman doing the vocals in this song , it's really amazing !
This just puts the wow! in WoW
Just close you eyes n listen to this... heaven.
Elune be with you!

i love this song.. there is soooo much epicnesss in it... i never get tire of hearing it
One of the few good things Cataclysm gave us.
wow...I think I just fell in love with one of the most epic music pieces ever. They way that this style of music flows is...spectacular! Very nice!
Took a whole day traveling from Darnassus to Stormwind
i embrace the changing face of wow, I burnt out after wotlk, came back a few months before MoP, caught up on my characters and am loving it all over again, fly through a low zone and the music just brings back so many memories. the music, atmosphere and friendships are the main reason for playing this game. theres something in it for everyone.

She's in the Shadowlands now
@@wraithess She's still technically 'dead' and won't be returning with us to the world of the living when we are done with Shadowlands in two years time.
As much as I love being a Sin'dorei, and althought we're rivals. I must admit that your music is superb!
This is the most amazing music I have heard in a very long time...When the drums kick in it truly sounds epic and I began to get some major chills.

Atleast finally someone who understands this situation.
Suddenly, you close your eyes, feel nature grasp your soul, and your suddenly a might bear. And then a swift cat. Amazing, I love druid night elves. If any class should be a druid, for sure night elves.
This is seriously the best thing that's come out of Blizzards sound department to date.
the artist is elfis presley
WOW
+ArciturisStudios Sir. Please.
Schwiiiing.
.........God.........damn it.....
"Elfis Presley." You have cheese dribbling out every hole of your body because of that one.
Just like me!
I just heard this for the first time today while in game. I had to stop what I was doing and just listened, and then immediately looked it up in youtube. This track starts out so beautifully. Thank you Blizzard, you are so much more than games, you are composers, you are artists. Thank you for posting this song :)
Imádom a wow ot van történelme jelenje multja Jövöje
Exceptionally beautiful music.
my last years in WoW i played on Horde side, but this track is pretty good.
Grab your sword Fight the Horde!
TROLLS, NIGHT ELFS, DRAENEI
The best Cataclysm OST - "Citizens of Azeroth.....Behold!" I played that cimematic so many times before they released this track on UA-cam. Sadly it was the last xpac for me. I lost too many good friends :(
Damn I love this, my 5 years of only playing Night Elves and having become skiled with the Night Elf race in Warcraft 3 makes me have a bond to them and this music brings tears to my eyes.
Tor ilisar'thera'nal! Zin Tel, Nor, Kal, Elune adore! Xaxas, Bandu Thoribas!!!
Listening to this while playing a night elf druid just adds to the epicness :)
I might piss some people off for saying this but I think this soundtrack is now on par with the LotR and Star Wars ones. Hats of the the composer and to the uploader.
@TheBucketSkill "Suddenly, you close your eyes" .. I did, and I almost fell asleep. Pretty powerful sleeping remedy ths is. I could sleep to these melodies for ages!
Night Elf is my favourite race,but I found myself in the mighty Horde,but I'll always follow Night Elves.FOR THE GLORY OF THE NIGHT !
When I'm listening to it im crying cuz of happiness that i can hear so beautiful music.
Damn goosebumps i love this feeling, night elves got an insane theme in cata.
this music calms me down
I'm glad made you happy, but there's a ton of old games that are remembered after years...WoW's predecessor, Everquest, comes to mind. I will never forget that game either.

My friend and I runing in the burning forest in Cata, one of the best memories.
Ah, the thrill of riding up to Maestra's Post the first time...
I gotta say...the new music for Cata is fantastic. I've played this game for years and this is the first time I've ever sought out the soundtrack. Very good stuff.

ITS EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone who likes this song thumps up
I played during the end of vanilla and have played ever since, and i have loved all expansions so far :)
I like to listen to WoW music constantly... It just soothes me :)
i love this music its beautiful
I no longer play wow, but i still come back just for the epic music.
so beautiful!
so beautiful...i love night elves ^^
If it was possible I would trade everything I have, even my life, to wake up one day in this beautiful world. The nature, the creatures, the people (don't mean humans only).

WOW great soundtrack !!!! I want more !!!!!!!

If it was not for the music, this game would not nearly be as magical.
Playing as a horde, was passing elwyn forrest (iirc) when it started playing, stopped questing for a while just to hear it all :) Awesome music
this with the rainy mood. nice.
Night elves are the best music makers :D
Unbelievable track! One of the best in the game.
I don't miss WoW itself, even if I stopped playing when MoP was released... I miss all the good moments I had in Azeroth... from the end of Burning crusade, through and Cataclysm... I played during 5 years, Azeroth was and is still a part a myself.

All that remains is a darn big nostalgia now ! ;-)
This surpasses the epicness of the main themes and the serenity of "Lament of the Highborne" this is music at its greatest.
I just close my eyes and imagine me at a forest like Teldrassil;quite,tranquil and conquered by nature
That's great,i'm happy for you.You managed to quit the parallel universe of Azeroth.Respects to you sir.Same with me,i have been playing for 7 months tho.Was hard to quit.

Listening to this, just makes me proud to be on the Alliance, but most of all, A Night Elf ^^
