Saying goodbye to your base... The creatures that helped you kill Mr. Heart Disease... The things that gave you a piece of happiness... It's just so sad ain't it? Leaving the ark... It's mainly because you got attached to them... Never to see them again... Leave them on Mr. Heart Disease's broken world... It's just so sad... PROVE ME WRONGGGGGGG
Journey's End had me bawling, if your intention was to make people cry, it worked. It reminds me of all of the good memories I've had from start to finish on ARK. Genesis 2 is a freakin' masterpiece.
i can't even fathom what it must be like to compose an array of inconceivably spectacular soundtracks for a game series for 6 years. then to have to write a finale soundtrack for said game series that you have most likely formed a connection with after writing such great music for it for 6 years. you are a spectacular composer, and i've always loved the music you've produced. can't wait for what incredible compositions will be made for ark 2.
Whether I'll ever make it ingame to the 'Journey's End' thats just perfect either way...I... I mean there's nothing that I can ever say that would describe how much shivers went down by my spine when the main theme blasts off in full force one last time. Absolutely beautiful, to quote something from the game itself....I shall just be quiet now.
Been waiting for this all morning, bruh!! Gareth, if u see this, then you’re my second favorite composer of all time, even better than Hans Zimmer and John Williams, but the only one you still need to beat is John Powell, he’s going to be pretty tough to beat! But anyway, may Ark forever live in the hearts and minds of us, you’re fans!
@@garethcokermusic no problem Gareth!! Literal tears are coming to my eyes at the Epilogue and Journey’s End tracks!! It’s soo beautiful!! I can’t thank you enough!!
Please tell me the Baroque influence I'm hearing in this album is not just my imagination. It is genius and so unexpected but works so insanely well. I'm getting chills on virtually every track. Once again, your music has blown my mind!
Ark would truly not be the same without Gareth, and I think that this is one end that unites us all as survivors, the music of ark is beautiful. Thank you.
For anyone who was looking for Rockwell's Low health OST. It's the main theme but played on a certain part of that soundtrack. The part starts at about 1:40
If I can say anything about this game, it’s the best thing I’ve ever expirenced. Though we complain about it a lot, we can’t deny it’s our favorite. Thank you wildcard
Me again, the Rockwell Battle Suite is not only far better than the Overseer battle suite, but this one is far more dynamic, and diversified and more well-balanced overall! Great job, Gareth!!
@@vit-t680 yes but the most epic and underrated is the broodmother in my opinion it definitely deserves to be in top 3 atleast, like it's so underrated noone talks about it
3:03 i really wished there was a extended of this one, its gives off a scifi journey feeling and it's so beautiful. Not to mention all of this soundtrack, awesome job you did Gareth
journey's end really makes me remember my adventures on the islands extreme climates, scorched earths intense heat, aberrations mysterious caverns, extinctions massive titans, genesis's part 1 simulation and recently part 2's emotional ending.
Gareth Coker, your compositions are other worldly. Ori and Ark... Both of the soundtracks you've made stand out like eagles amongst pigeons. Your right up there with Zimmer. Keep doing what you do man, big love from the UK
You are an absolute legend. I've listened to your compositions so many times now and I just can't get enough of it. The music of Ark is just something that gives it its vibe and that wouldn't have been possible without you. Thank you so so much
@@realbanana0305 I was taking an exam just now and I was constantly stuck with the Genesis 2 theme in my head. I didn't even mind, it even gave me more motivation to push through.
Unknown Parts and The Rockwell Proliferation Themes are so besutifull at his way, that i cannot even play good because i Just wanna Pause the game to hear it well
Wonderful job, got me crying as I remembered all the memories I've experienced in ark, knowing it's all coming to an end, definitely your best masterpiece in my opinion
it cant be overstated that your work really does put the heart and soul into this game, truly majestic an this is why i love VG music, its the new epics
Just can't believe I missed this piece of soundtrack after listening to the first OST for countless hours. This is absolute masterpiece, and I didn't expect to hear anything less than that.
I listen to video game music so much because it's supposed to accompany with the game. With games that have a meaningful story that makes you feel emotions, the music is usually amazing and is waaay more significant than any song on the radio. This soundtrack is one of the best I've seen!
GG Gareth Coker. You defined the Ark experience. Your music holds many memories I remember from even 6 years ago. So glad to see you on Halo now as well. Thankyou
Thank you for uploading this personally! Still downloading the game and having mostly retired from playing the game religiously I come back just for the spectacle and it wouldn’t be a spectacle to me without your OSTs
If you read this Gareth, your magic sounds of music are amazing! It had been a great journey to listen all soundtracks made of you. Mostly Aberration was My favourite. I'll thank you alot for making them. U re the best composer in my list..
@@MorganDeacetis but don't you think he would reply to a comment like this i mean don't take me wrong i hope he read it too but why wouldn't he reply then
Its finally here! Definitely the most hyped I've ever been for a soundtrack. You've done an amazing job on the whole series, massive thanks to you and the orchestra for the amazing music to this beautiful game!
I haven't followed Ark's storyline for too long, and still am on the Island. But I've been watching this game progress for multiple years, and Journey's End still makes me sad.
Rockwell's Garden II and Rockwell Postlude are my favorite pieces in this track, because they really make me feel a sense of tragedy for Rockwell. Here's a guy that started off kind of okay but then let his obsession turn him into a monster.
Some of your best work Mr Coker and my personal favourite of all the ARK tracks :) ARK, like Ori, wouldn't be the same games without your contribution!
Beautiful absolutely beautiful you’ve become a part of ark gareth without you and your music ark wouldn’t be ark. You have ingrained your music into my heart and every other ark fan out there you’ve done justice to game and more so thank you gareth.
Vous êtes incroyable ! You're incredible ! continue work with Ark please its such a pleasure to hear your creation ! continuez a travailler sur Ark SVP c'est un tel plaisir d'entendre vos créations !
I remember the night Gen 2 came out I was studying suddenly notification from ark channel gen 2 released I already saw nooblets and ark survival guide looking for base and resource locations Some Spanish guy was streaming himself doing Code Red on Alpha difficulty with an R-Reaper And two guys plus 3 over discord on PS4 already killed Rockwell but their games crashed when it was time of the cut scene and they ended their streams I remember with such detail honestly one of the best days in my life my heart rate was through the roof and I played Genesis part 2 like an animal since then even though we have ark survival Ascended now this game will hold a special place in my reserved heart.
1:09:52 But I need you to do something else now:find your own path, your own destiny. Build a new world here...a better world.And who knows? Maybe two lost souls can still meet again somewhwere,among the stars. Goodbye,my friend
Gareth, I wanted to say that your original score for the theme of Ark was what entranced me like no other game has. I plan on making a retrospective video of Ark at some point and I hope to do your score justice when I talk about it.
Thank you so much Gareth, i've been a fan of your work since i started playing this game first month of it's release, your music has been a huge part of my life and i have been waiting for this for so long. Thank you for making this journey amazing, love your work, can't wait to see what you have for Ark 2.
idk what is happening at this point - I just thought ark was a survival game with dinosaurs but now i'm seeing a giant purple guy and a bunch of robots fighting on the Halo while gremlins dance in the background!!
Amazing as always, I’m very proud to be able to say that I’m going off to college to major in music composition thanks to your music. All I can say is thank you.

Yes alot of similarities to the willows end section
Exactly especially in the antechamber track
Gareth I hope you will be around for Ark II or it won't be the same. Amazing work
he composed the theme for the trailer so I'm assuming he is on board for ark 2
If you check him on Wikipedia it says he’s the composer for Ark II as well as some other ones I found surprising
