  • A sad and beautiful song sung by an American singer Joe Romersa, released in 2003, composed by Akira Yamaoka, (山岡 晃), a Japanese video game composer, sound designer, sound director, and video game producer.
    This is a fan-made music video, originally loaded on my old YouYube channel, Teiska123, in December 2009. I've edited video clips from the old classic film.
    The video is dedicated to those who never had each other, and also to my hometown.
    The lyrics by Joe Romersa:
    Hometown
    He spoke of tortured souls,
    So outrageous the toll
    You can lose all you have
    He refused to give in,
    to the town that takes all.
    Survive, you must have the will
    This movie doesn't end the way we want,
    all the time then he shouts at the moon
    "She's gone", and fear has overcome.
    He was walking the mile,
    he was walking alone...
    So outrageous the toll
    You can lose all you have
    He refused to give in
    to the town that takes all.
    Survive, you must have the will
    This movie doesn't end the way we want,
    all the time then he shouts at the moon.
    "She's gone", and fear has overcome.
    He was walking the mile,
    he was walking alone.
    Four and twenty dead birds,
    they bleed upon the nest.
    There was no time for reasons,
    they had no sign of a threat.
    Now it's too late,
    too late for me
    This town will eventually take me
    Too late, too late for me
    This town will win.
    (spoken)
    Through this fog they come along
    Dark creatures singing a terrible song
    The rest of the bar laughed at him
    Only I felt my hope grow dim
    They found him dead the very next day
    "No more stories from him," I heard them say
    We blamed bad luck for his fate
    Only I felt terror so great.
    She and he will know...
    that someday...
    all things will end...
    That misty night,
    that dismal room
    The dead search for their kill
    While angels sleep, in endless dark
    The dead seek out sin.

    The lyrics were written by Nora Stevens Heath, adapted from a poem by Hiroyuki Owaku, a designer from Konami's defunct Team Silent.

      That is incorrect. I wrote these lyrics using one of Owaku's poems as a starting point.

    A few people here don't realise the song's about a town called Silent Hill which has roots in the occult and people with sin experience their own hell. The song is more sinister and malicious yet depressing and sad. If people are dedicating this song to their hometown, well your hometown must be a shit tip. For those who have asked this song is the end credits for the game Silent Hill 3.

    Hi Teisuka,
    Thank you for sharing this wonderful song. Yes, it's sad but beautiful. The lyrics are a poem, which I think has a deeper meaning that I don't quite understand. But I felt a sense of sadness and despair. Probably life is just like that sometimes. As always, your movie making is excellent. Thanks again for sharing such a great music video with us. Have a nice weekend, my friend!-:)

    When I listened to this song in your former channel, I had an impression that it was a quite new to me. The melody is really usual. I wonder how you found it. Just like the other channel of yours is now facing a kind of danger, my health and life are also in a critical condition. Thanks to my Christian network in UA-cam, I'm getting better a little by little, however, it still need prayers. Please pray for me. It could be once a month and the time for prayer could be only 5 seconds. Paul Goemon
