Deference For Darkness aka Another Rain from Halo 3: ODST is the most unique track in the entire Halo series. The melancholy is so iconic and really made ODST feel so special and different from the main games. I can't wait for Halo Infinite to hopefully take the franchise back on track!

The way this song makes you feel a sense of being alone and being powerless fits the atmosphere of ODST so well
Oh. That's a fantastic point, thanks!
now that you said that cozmic...it really shows it now my god it's oddly scary to realize how it starts then pushs it farther to feeling alone
Kinda like Reach
Alone and powerless, but will carry out the mission nonetheless.
They knew from the beginning what they stepped into that is often why they acted the way they did first in last out feet first into hell doesn't mean it isn't any less sad or lonely to operate independently having you and only you to worry whether covenant troops would kill you when you weren't careful.
Probably the best piano song from Halo that isn’t the main theme. Just amazing.

@@samueld8326 wait realy? its been so long that i dont remember, who said that?
@@alanrosete3855 yes. i dont think anyone in the game said it, but it is on the poster.
I gotta leave it at 117 likes. Just know that you have my respect.
That hero is rookie
Memories of sneaking around those haunting empty streets, then playing it on co op and it turning into a laugh. Good times lads.
Halos music always hits a bitter sweet note for me, ODSTs soundtrack was phenomenal
Seconded
Agreed
It always makes me sad that I can't experience for the first time again.
@@billyreynolds9199 True, but at least we can make one final effort to catch that feeling again when Infinite drops
@@stormreach1234 facts brother 1 final effort🔥
No don’t make me cry
Edit, literally thirty seconds in, tear drops. I miss the days of careless Halo with friends, but hey, I’ve got a career ahead of me, a life, a whole load of experiences I am yet to experience, this goes for you too, random person scrolling through the comments!
I am very happy to say I am still close friends with my two high school Halo buddies.
Needed this. Miss halo with my guys soo much. Hours of it on split screen co-op. Best times
Why thank you for the shoutout 😁
@@RandomPerson-ob1hk Wow
Luckily all of my halo friends are still here, we just play different games now.
this game was criminally underrated, easily one of the best Halos
It to me is almost tied with reach
ODST and Reach are easily one of the best halos of them all
@@crimson7257 agreed.
Reach is the boss
True, although the size could better describe it as odlc
This game and this song specifically holds great value to me, 14 years ago I lost my older brother in a car accident when he was just 18. He was here for the original trilogy and loved every part of halo, playing late with friends until the early hours of the morning and then getting just enough sleep to go to school the next day, we lost him about a month before this game came out and it really embodied how I felt after we lost him and even still to this day it's melodies strike me straight to my core and make me cry for him, this is a beautiful cover of my favorite halo song, thank you atinpiano, Marty and Michael for this masterpiece, and rest easy Richie.
🙏🏻🫂
he sounds like he was a wonderful person. 🙏
That's so beautiful and sad I'm sorry to hear that happened, we never really know 😟☝️
Haunting. Just like ODST should be remembered.
Can't believe AtinPiano is doing Halo! What a legend.
Me and some friends just got a petition approved by our band instructor to let us play the original halo theme for our concert
@@Squidman91 That is so awesome, I'd love to see if that would work for my orchestra
@@notasherflynn You should make a request for it!
@@Squidman91 Post it. :D
@@Squidman91 so fun!
I got to play the Halo theme during my first year of marching band. Good times 🥲
I didn’t know I needed to learn this until now, I’d forgotten how beautiful ODST’s soundtrack was.
I remember when I first dropped into halo’s universe, not as a Spartan, but as an ODST.
This game will always hold a special place in my heart as the game that introduced me to halo
I remember this was my first piano piece I learned 2 years ago... I made an arrangement on it on my 64 key keyboard. Now I have a Roland fp30 and seeing you cover this as one of the main people who inspired me to play makes me happy. Thank you Atin.
I have the exact same Roland FP-30.
And this was also the first song I learned.
I'm greatly looking forward to this composition
I've been playing for 13 months
As a fellow Halo fan and total piano newb myself, I'd love to learn this song. How hard is it for a complete beginner? Do you have any tutorials to recommend ?
@@amaurylaunay Its not too bad to learn actually, Personally I used Ds Musics Arrangement from Marioverhers tutorial. Though I now have made my own arrangement and need to put it on sheets when I get the chance. On that like 2nd part focus on the left hand alot. And good luck with it!
@@amaurylaunay Depends on how independent your hands are.
I personally had an easy time learning most of the song, until it picks up after the intro.
This song always hits hard, it's just amazing in every way.
It always does
Was playing halo 3 odst on my laptop yesterday in class, my teacher saw me and told me it was a good choice. Then told me to hook it up to the projector. God this is so good, this is a great cover props to you
Dope teacher
And then everyone clapped
@@Beamer490 Kurtis connor fan is that you
And then Obama came in and gave you 20 bucks, right?
@@noneed4sleep64 I wish
I've been watching Atin piano for around 2 years now and i've waited too long for him to post a halo cover (probally becuase im a halo fanatic) and here it is, played as the best song it could of been, a perfect song. Thanks Atin piano.
There will be more :)
thanks so much man. One final effort is really good
Amazing, even though it came out a little bit before my time as a gamer and don't have any memories of playing it, I can tell the game was a masterpiece, and I can't wait to play the campaign (I'm on the halo 3 campaign rn in the master chief collection)
Same here, me being 19 Reach was my first halo. Played every game in order this month and ODST surprised me and took 2nd place on my list, and now I’m learning this on piano 😭
Music fits with the atmosphere of the city
It’s definitely worth a play through
It’s actually my personal favorite campaign, the ODST one, the gameplay is just so tight and the atmosphere is unmatched.
ODST was actually my first Halo game. I played firefight with my dad all the time when I was like 4 or 5 years old.
I remember getting this at the midnight release and coming home to play it. Landing in that drop pod. The lights are off in my bedroom and I'm released into New Mombasa and this song starts playing.
Chills, a real vibe, the nostalgia, incredible.
Such a sad song to listen to really, takes you back to the memories of Halo being in it's prime, everyone hunting vidmaster achievements for recon armor, the massive communites of forge games on infected. I miss it all.
This is the best cover of this piece I've ever heard. It feels so natural, like it was meant to be played by your hands. The whole piece also translates incredibly well to the piano. The saxophone portions fit perfectly as piano notes, probably because of Marty's writing style. Very good job.
Your comment is a great tribute
I was playing a D&D game recently, one that is heavy into roleplaying characters and their issues... the cleric in our party was looking for the moon to pray, to ask for guidance in her journey as she was getting desperate because the fear of losing someone close and being lost in the new world she fell on...
Stopped the ambient music in W2G that no one was paying attetion to and started this one, our DM avoids listening so he doesn't get distracted for the music, but he started without knowing to go in the same pace as the piano, describes that her words look to be lost in the sky as she is, Selûne could not hear the priestess as she is unwelcome in that plane of existence.
Her turn to describe what she would do, her voice sounded even more sad than before, then the piano kicks again and she cracks for an instant, almost about to cry, played along for a moment saying how she really needed help, but will try to not fall into despair yet, that she will keep trying to do what it is needed to be able to reach her again.
The DM concerned about her breaking, stops the game for a moment to ask what is going on and we just laugh how good and genuine that felt thanks to this song.
Thanks for the cover, and thanks to Martin and Michael for this amazing soundtrack.
"I've been looking forward to this!"
The most chill song from ODST. Thank you.
Words can't express how excited I am for this.
What a beautiful cover! It brings me back to 2010 with me holding a 360 controller playing Halo after school.
Those were the fucking days man
Dude the nostalgia is kicking in hard bro, just you & the bois kicking ass in firefight & messing around in campaign co-op. Aaah, good times
Those four notes at beginning get me everytime I listen to this track 😭
This game was a mini-series in and of itself.
It took every combat and lore from the Halo universe, and put you into the eyes of a soldier, not a feared demigod.
You were alone, but your training held true and survival was priority 1. Priority 2 was to reunite with your team.
I can remember ever so vividly ejecting from that ODST pod for the first time...realizing how vulnerable and weak I was.
I am no longer this invincible force embodying a force of good...I am but a soldier in the war for humanity. One.
I can visualize it all even now...walking the streets of a war-torn New Mombasa with nothing but my last resort sidearm, and my trusty M7S.
Then, Martin O'Donnell & Michael Salvatori's music kicked in. I stopped...and listened...I felt those notes sink into me...find me a sliver of hope amidst the darkness of the night.
Each movement and advance in combat was no longer a killfest or a jolly walk through a campaign of epic proportions...it was a somber and melancholy experience through the eyes of a lone wolf, in search of his/her pack. A journey through the dark and damp city now in ruins from an alien invasion to Earth.
I remember feeling the thrill of exploring each district and road...each alley and office space...but alas, never to see a sight of relief, but pain...a slayed marine, executed civilians...the darkness of war-driven hearts...
I remember the power of joy overflowing finding clues of my team, clues of being alive. These were the faint glimmers of hope in the campaign for reuniting.
And then, after playing the mission that lead the clues here...it was back to loneliness...isolation, and yearning for more...more hope among hopelessness.
Then...more to follow...more streets to venture, more tunnels...an endless search; relentlessly maddening me, as the enemy kept on coming, creating this blackened stain over my once red and fiery heart for war....now just- simply...wanting to be back with my team...to be home.
And so we, the players, as one of the ODST's Insertion Team, "The Rookie", mustered as much hope, rage and will to fight as we could...to eventually reunite with our comrades in arms...and aid in compromising our enemies' Engineer. The turn of the tide, that would allow, just as Noble Team did on Reach, the USNC and Master Chief and the Arbiter/Covenant Joint-Ops to push the gates of hell back into the vastness of space...to end an era of videogame history....to footnote the millennia of humanity.
This game was a massive foreboding shadow to the coming close of videogame story telling in one of the most uniting and compelling franchises to date, before it was sent away on vacation forever after we experienced the Fall of Reach.
If you read this from beginning to end, know that you are wonderful. Do not let the past devour your soul: let it be this music, a somber but kindling flame to you working towards your future.
May your present be engulfed with new thinking, new learning, and new friends to aid you during these troubling times.
But tread lightly onto your future, for forcefully bringing the future to you can only bring sorrow, or grief. The future does not come to you...you go into the future. So, enjoy the present so that you may sharpen your mind, hone your skills, and eventually work your body to a better tomorrow. Let yesterday's problems slowly drift into the past.
Let your body heal, you can allow yourself this one mercy...you are worth it. You may not see it now, but for the love of humanity, you are worth every damn breath and tear drop, please...
So just, be still....calm, silent....as these piano notes drift you into a better you...as you let your body be washed in the rains of the music...and the thunderous future come bellowing when it's time comes....fear not: you will be ready.
_"You know the music, time to dance"_
~ Edward Buck. _Halo 3: ODST_ October 20th, 2552 - Moments before the Slipspace Rupture Event in New Mombasa, Kenya, East Africa (November 22nd, 2009)
This hit my memory and flashbacks. I just think of that 1 person that I love so much, and how she must be doing better without me. But the flashbacks of when I was young and naive compared to now how I've advanced too much into topics only older people know.
So you did the “love yourself first” thing so hard you advanced beyond everyone you’ll meet?
"You gonna tell us her name gunny?"
"MISS Naval Intelligence, our new boss."
"Oh brother..."
"So check your mouths, find your chairs... [angrily shoves a sniper rifle into Romeo's hands] ...and get set for a combat drop!"
*Rookie staring at Dare's helmet in the building overlook room.*
"The hell am I supposed to do with this INSIDE a Covenant ship?"
Damn… this song always hit me really hard. It makes me think of old times… happier times (in my memories) that now are gone.
A virtual hug to all others old Halo players out there… and a really great “thank you” to AtinPiano for this masterpiece.
This song and the whole soundtrack of ODST helped play a huge part in making it one of the best halo games for me. Ever since, it's been textbook for unexpected masterpieces and Bungie absolutely owned this project and made it worth every single penny. So glad I got to experience it when it was new.
Gets me in my feels every single time. I'm 28, and the days of Halo 2, ,3, ODST, and Reach are long behind me. But I still look back on those memories from time to time, and I remember all of the buddies that made my childhood what it was. If they followed me home to play in the woods, or if we went inside to split screen Halo campaigns or four player couch PvP, it was my sanctuary from anything that was going on in my life.
*Inserte lluvia de fondo
Simplemente increible me transporta a mi melancolia feliz
The year is 2552
Humanity is at war with a collection of alien races known as The Covenant
We are losing.
I remember the first time i booted up Halo 3 ODST and heard this. I knew this song was a masterpiece then and it still is today. It's definitely one of my favorite OSTs from the Halo series
It’s something, you can definitely hear the Reach sound coming from ODST’s soundtrack.
Like Marty said “dayum. Let’s do that again.”
odst was great because you weren't playing as a spartan... you were just a soldier... a rookie left alone in the streets, not knowing if your team was still alive. you were forced to tiptoe about in darkness because your ammo was limited and the enemy would not have much trouble killing you with numbers or heavier firepower. Music like this tied it together as a masterpiece that gave the perfect atmosphere of dread, despair, broken up by the occasional crumb of hope from a discarded sniper rifle, a drone survey unit, a malfunctioning ticket machine or even a telephone.
This music is amazing, thank you for making this
you insoired me to become a better pianist. you showed me that it was possible to have fun on piano and do what you want. i have played so many of your pieces,thank you so much
Oh, this sure brings back memories of when I first played Halo back in second grade, and immediately falling in love, that feeling of walking through the streets gave a sense of eerieness. I still play all of the campaigns after almost 7 years. Good times
Though it is probably one of the least known or well liked Halo games, it is one of my favorites. The hopeless solitude of it is awe inspiring.
It has some of the best music in all of the games as well
So much nostalgia. Halo 3 ODST has always had it's special place in my heart ever since I was a kid.
Rookie didn’t deserve to die the way he did, he was definitely Spartan material
Rest In Peace Rook
Ah, ODST. My first Halo experience. Good times and good memories.
One of my favorite songs period being performed by one of my favorite artists? sign me the hell up.
This was our world we forged for ourselves. You may have missed the the time of penny candy and might miss the mars colonies, but my brothers, morn not, for you made this, a golden age, for yourselves. Revel in those bejeweled memories.
As someone once said: born too early to discover the universe, born too late to discover the New World, born just in time to experience the greatest digital universes ever created
Don't know if I agree with "gamerz were real back then," but I do agree that Halo 3 ODST just wouldn't work today. Something has changed, certainly. Hard times haven't disappered, so I think gaming as an escape from life's sorrow is still very much a thing. I do miss the era when this game came out, though. This rendition does stir some nostaligia and a bit of sadness.
@@nicholasvaultonburg9152 Looking back I could have explained myself better. What I said about gamers being real gamers was is that it just seems like then it was about enjoying the game and everyone else having fun too. Now it just seems like everyone is sweating or trolling. Less people are playing for fun and more for getting the win by any means possible, it’s not entertainment, it’s a job. On the flip side there’s the trolls. They want their fun and find it often in your suffering. Maybe this is an illusion, but it seems gone are the days when others cared about others' enjoyment.
@@CrabCake0 That was the exact same thing that happened back then, games were filled with trolls and people sweating and camping. Nothing has changed, just your perspective
Yeah must just be one of those “good old days” paradoxes, your right fs
This was my first halo game, it was lonely. It had the best atmosphere ive ever been eveloped by, there hasnt been that many fps games that do this.
This is beautiful - you've taken an amazing piece and made it sound even more beautiful somehow. I am blown away honestly - Well done!
OOOH, I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THIS ONE!
edit: this was beautiful - thank you, Atin, for sharing your cover with us.
Holy shit! I did not expect this. Going to have to learn this one too!
Your piano and playing sounds so very crisp and clear. I am envious of whatever setup you have where you can make sounds as clean as this. Not very many other videos that play the songs you post can boast the same thing! I appreciate the great work, it is nostalgic. Thank you!
Good old ODST, you don't play as some augmented killing machine, simply Humanity's Best. RIP The Rookie, you were one helluva soldier.
beautiful! those three chords really send shivers through me timbers, what a score. "its just a video game soundtrack" im not crying you are.
God, this gave me chills and nearly brought me to tears. Incredible job, no words can describe how wonderful and cathartic this is to hear.
that is a very, very good interpretation you did. I am sincerely loving your job with this song; even though it might not be the hardest song to learn, it does take some effort to master it, and it shows when someone puts work into their effort. perhaps my favorite part of your execution is your hand steadiness, which just proves how much work has been put to it: to the point you feel quite confident playing it.
again, a great job with this song.
Legendary, I’m learning all the Star Wars ones and the assassins creed medley with time from you 🙂 thank you
By FAR the best version of this song! So beautiful!
I swear this is one of the only songs that no matter what I'm doing, or how happy I am it will always make me tear up. I love how this song is and it just gives me both a relaxing feeling as well as a sort of lonely type of feeling.
I've been listening to this on repeat for the past month. I don’t know why, but I feel a sense of longing I can't shake, like nothing is right here, and I need to go elsewhere.
I think this song brings out a very specific feeling, the feeling that what you're dealing with is bigger than anything you could ever handle
I’ve adored this song for years upon years. I have never seen it played with such passion. This is beyond perfect, Spartan…… 💚
bruUuh where was this when I was scouring the internet last year for a tutorial of this song? most tutorials show the “neon light” version instead of “deference for darkness” and this is what I needed thank youuu
mann.. yeah 2023 was bit rough. Just now, I finally look up for something I wanted to listen to that I did not expect I needed so much. This.. this feels like home. It warms my soul
Enough to make a grown man cry.
Beautifully done.🖤
So glad people still do covers of this masterpiece. Excellent vid.
This song is my favorite from ODST and always brings back so many years of nostalgia. Man, I miss those days! Wish I knew I'd miss them in the moment.
It’s a amazing how one instrument can create such an atmosphere
Beautifully done. This soundtrack will always hold a special place in all our hearts, especially with how unique it is in the halo universe. Great cover!
still brings a tear of joy in my face, what a beautiful melody marty odonell created. it speaks to my heart. very well done on the cover
So beautiful.
1AM. This is Halo's "plin plin plon". ODST, while a pretty easy game does show the darkness that Souls games do. Never forget the helljumpers
Atin, I just found your videos yesterday. I really appreciate the content variety between great games and cinema/shows. I've been blown away by everything, but the Halo and Mass Effect brought a tear to the eye. Phenomenal work!
Thank you so much!
the first note so strong and echo's it hits you like a wall of bricks
This is amazing, one of my favorites songs from ODST. Thank you
Absolute unit of a guy you are, thank you! This game series has amazing songs suited to be played in the piano alone, and this one is one of the best ones. Phenomenal
Just found this video in the rec section - PLEASE DO MORE HALO COVERS!! Big Halo fan here. Was looking at Another Rain covers a few months before and I can remember not all of them was up to par with the original - but I loved yours and what you've done to tweak it a little. Bravo!!!
im so glad there are people who love music so much that they can create smthng like that im actually envious about that since i lack the the one thing thats needed to fully commit to an intsrument love this song makes me feel good and bad at the same time
Throwing this in the odst cry myself to sleep playlist for sure
Speechless, its amazing many memories were made from halo including great songs
This is the most beautiful piece of music one can ever listen too. Brilliant
This song is super crazy good. Out of every cover you've done piano only, this is the only song where I really really miss an original element of the original piece. That sax was just so damn good. Probably my overall favorite Halo piece in terms of just raw emotions.
I still need to go back and find all the audio logs for this game... But man, the feels get me every time 🥺
By far one of my top Halo games ever.
Absolutely beautiful mate brought me to tears
absolutely beautiful
never cease to amaze me !! probably my favorite so far
I Already knew it is gonna be excellent
Absolutely beautiful
3:40 those last notes are the heaviest to hear. I played ODST at a time I miss a lot these days. Memories always come back!
your play was amazing, thanks a lot !
Absolutely mesmerizing.
Absolutely excellent.
I can't help but get abit teary listening to this, so beautiful man 😢
Goosebumps and tears. Literally goosebumps and tears 😭
Best piano cover I’ve heard so far of my favorite song, so glad I woke up early for this
What a gorgeous cover! I love how gentle and yet emotionally powerful your cover was!
Beautiful
For some reason i find this to be the most calming thing, ever. Thank you.
Phenomenal cover. Thank you for sharing it.
Its just beautiful
This is absolutely beautiful
