Lyrics:
I dig my hole, you build a wall
I dig my hole, you build a wall
One day that wall is gonna fall
Gon' build that city on a hill
Gon' build that city on a hill
Someday those tears are gonna spill
So build that wall and build it strong
'Cause we'll be there before too long
Gon' build that wall up to the sky
Gon' build that wall up to the sky
Someday your bird is gonna fly
Gon' build that wall until it's done
Gon' build that wall until it's done
But now you've got nowhere to run
So build that wall and build it strong
'Cause we'll be there before too long

And that's when the kid hears something he'll never forget. How did it go again? Ahhh that's right...
dude YOU JUST BLEW MY GOD DAMN MIND
how fucking dare you
@@laurens.6940 yeah, I didn't put that together until just now as well haha.
*i could legit hear the narrator’s voice*
The kid sits and listens for awhile.
damn u just made me want to replay bastion, thx bruv
"Kid just sits and listens for awhile..."
"The match is struck, a star is born."
oh wait, wrong narrator..
hahaha I heard that about 5 times
It was really nice to hear this at game awards today, I wasn't expecting that
i certainly was hoping to see their new game. Looks like i will have to wait 'till E3
Couldn't be happier!
Mashed up with Enemies!
madness, madness and stupidity
It caught me SO OFF GUARD! Hahaha
My daughter came home from school today, telling me her teacher played a song by someone called "Bastards". After some questioning, finally figured out she was talking about Bastion, and it was this song. Her music teacher played this song as part of her class.
I just thought that was pretty cool.
Best teacher ever
@@cellP8 not if that teachers was from Texas 😆
@@Ytj9957 or Canada lol
no way!! that's awesome!!
@@Ytj9957 hmm?
The first time you hear it: Ungodly Beautiful
Hearing it once you've gotten through most of the game: Still beautiful, but also terrifying.
...cause we'll be there
Before too long...
On I've not played the game but listened to the soundtracks looking forward to be terrified.
This comment has sold me on the game better than any trailer.
I just bought it.
@@Fataky Have fun, it's great ride.
I played the game but don't get why it's terrifying
This song alone pays for whatever the games costs you.
Come for the gameplay and art, stay fkr the soundtrack
@@renoshires and the narration
This game has the best soundtrack and audio design of any game I’ve ever heard. It’s a monument of beautiful sound.
cost me three bucks on the nintendo eshop. easily the most value i’ve ever gotten from three bucks.
"So build that wall and build it strong, 'cause we'll be there before too long."
It's somehow mocking, menacing and haunting all at once.
It’s a war song. Super badass. I would be afraid if there was an entire race of warriors who didn’t give a fuk how tall of a wall I built, they were still gonna wreck my chit.
The Huns
The Ura, Zulf and Zia's people, were miners. The idea of them undermining the wall and butchering the people of Caledonia, trapped in their own citadel, was the irony of the song. Of course they only hated the Caledonians because when they built their train system it collapsed their tunnels. Like in most conflicts, everyone just hated everyone else, then they all died, all except a certain Kid and his friends.
@@SandNebula232 It's not a even just a war song. It's a death threat to an entire civilization.
@@conorfowler568 well said. It’s terrifying
So glad to see this song get the spotlight it's deserved for years tonight in that incredible medley at The Game Awards
Thank you for your artistry and musicianship every time, Darren & Ashley!
I learned about this song because of awards, I'm gratefull
Darren is a fantastic songwriter. Ashley and he have the voices of angels.
If Ashley Barett has or ever will have a child then I'll be jelous because I never had a lullaby sang to me in her voice.
And thankfully, they got their due credit for it
@@omnirhythm I'm very thankful that it's pretty widely known that Darren Korb is a huge part of why supergiant games has made such memorable works. (And that he's done it so fucking consistently. Dude does not fucking miss)
Don't you mean she ? Well that's very very true
@@isakhammerin6435
darren is the studio songwriter and I think composer (also: singer and voice actor) and Ashley is their female singer
BASTION'S SOUNDTRACK IS SO GOOOOOD
Singing along to this with a few hundred people yesterday at the concert in London was pretty fucking glorious.
@Zabeer Farid SCIENCE
Actually what the fuck? What was it called?
yeah what? how awesome
This is... interesting.
Oh, just noticed the rest of the soundtrack went up too. Nice.
Reminds me of when other channels had the soundtrack. Forgot Supergiant themselves never put it up until now.
I remember playing the game expecting nothing really and on this level when you hear the humming I just put the controller down and just listened in awe. It was like a perfect moment in time I will never forget
And thus, the circle is complete...
Thank you, Supergiant Games, and thank you to Darren and Ashley too.
The first time in a game I sat, completely slack-jawed at the beauty of a scene.
Nier: Gestalt
Song of the Ancients played by the well.
You’re gonna have the same reaction.
@@JackOfBlædes Final ending of Automata too
This scene in the game is just so soothing and dreamy 😭😭😭 I can still remember how emotional I was when I first encountered this song!
I love how this calm guitar song just has these threatening, war-song like lyrics.
believe it or not its actually a war song
I had heard of the game (haven't played it unfortunately), but I hadn't heard this song before until it was performed at the Game Awards this year. Terrific.
Okay, I want to know how we got the Build That Wall/Enemy remix at the game awards. That was just amazing and completely unexpected. Bastion came out almost 10 years ago so this had to be a request from imagine dragons for Mr. Korb. I know I would.
Yeah. One of them probably likes the game? Or maybe Geoff asked them to?
The composition is pretty similar; they got a bit where the melody is practically the same
@@LuisAlvarez-mm5oh true , i would have assumed that was one reason...or maybe darren joins the S2 music team? (Fingers crossed)
@@adhwake That would be great, imo the music in Arcane S1 was the worst thing about the show
@@LuisAlvarez-mm5oh well I'd disagree with you there :) but then everyone has their opinion. Good we agree on the earlier point.
Gonna have to replay Bastion just to hear this song in context for the goosebump factor. This was a lighting in a bottle moment for Darren and Ashley. This is such a sublime piece.
One thing that got into my head and would always bothered me afterwards was the idea that Mia's instrument wouldn't produce this kind of sound.
Who's Mia?
Think he meant Zia
This will never ever get old!
Still stuck in my head years and years later. I hum it often :)
This still gets stuck in my head, 12 years later.
I stumbled on this song one day, fell in love with it, and once I found out it was in a video game I immediately bought it. What an amazing game and soundtrack.
If Johnny Cash were alive, he would sing this. It has a lot of the elements he likes in his music.
I could see him Doing Pantheon too or a version of it because he did change a few things in covers from time to time but i don't think anyone would mind...cuz you know The man in Black
Oh. OH! What beautiful sounds. Lovely as always.
"But now you've got nowhere to run." omg
I can’t love this tune more. This girls voice is too beautiful ❤️
Hearing this mashed up with Enemy by Imagine Dragons was probably the best official collaboration I’ve heard between two musical artists
Nobody talking about how well this transitioned into Arcanes Enemy?
I love this that version so much! The female vocals mixed with Enemy is so good!
I played this game in 2011 and now almost 12 years passed
:,)
I don’t know how I know this song but when I heard it in the game awards a memory appeared that was buried
I kinda regret I didn't play that game earlier, because I'm not usually interested in short indie games, but I did play Hades last year and loved it so I thought Bastion could be worth a try since it's the same devs, plus I felt like I needed a chill game because of personal issues. And as soon as I met Zia for the first time and heard her sing I immediatly recognized Ashley Barret, since she also voiced and sang as Eurydice in Hades. Now I just finished Bastion and man, I don't regret having bought the game at all, even though I had trouble following the lore and story because I focused on the gameplay and couldn't really keep up with the narrator, still a masterpiece from great devs
Did you try Pyre yet?^^ So far my Supergiant fav^^
@@Voradorek84 I actually just finished it yesterday, a pure masterpiece as expected from supergiant. I think I like it more than Hades but it's hard to say because I played Hades for so long compared to Pyre.
But my current ranking would be bastion>transistor>pyre>Hades.
They're all really good though, I'm not saying bastion is bad, just my least favorite
I was in a similar boat - I'd heard of the rest of Supergiant's repertoire but Hades had been the only one I had actually played, for a while. After sitting down and playing them I was stunned at what I had missed out on. Can confidently say that Transistor absolutely stole my heart, though.
Glad i found this again even with the playlist. Damn love this song so much
Build that wall build that wall BUILD THAT WALL
This song bring so much memories from the game!
I still listen to this every week..
2 years later, do you still listen to it?
@@Kindred... sure do!
4 years later, what about about now?
@@OGNotEvenClose pretty often, even now
I've never completed Bastion, so It can always feel like the first time playing when I return to it.
Achei sem querer essa música no SoundCloud e me apaixonei por ela, a lentidão da música, a melodia e o solo de violão por quase a música inteira antes de ter um crescimento repentino no instrumental, perfeita ♥️
qria saber tocar :(
@@kyuziinho entao... aprende?
@@cr7nogalo até procurei tutoriais mas não lembro de ter encontrado
Makes you want to invade Caelondia
makes me want to invade poland
I'm here to redirect my traffic to the algorithm I want more of this. I would like to 2019 me for finding this. And a special thank you, Mr. Korb for writing it.
He had seen the world fall apart, and was forced to make the hardest decision. Live through it again and to save those he lost, or let the world try to move on from this. What did you choose?
I chose evacuation
Evac. Save Zulf and evac. I had too :')
A surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one
hearing this song in-game, when i carried zulf back, was the first time I cried playing a videogame
obrigado void por me trazer aqui
I love this song!!!! 🥰
This song seems super relevant now.
game came out 10 years ago and I still find myself humming this song almost every day.
Never played but IN LOVE with the song
I had this game installed on my playstation for free for years and played it on and off until a couple of weeks ago when i decided to play it from a slightly older lense and now im obsessed and almost 100% the game. After finding out transistor (a game i played on and off too) was made by supergiant games i knew what to do and now i intend to buy hades 1 and 2
still makes me cry
why i tear up again listening to this. it's been too long since i played the game
Best song ever!!!!!
This game flew under a lot of peoples radar but we all know. We know its the shit.
The best
"Old ginger man sits down and listens for a while..."
There was a version double the lenght but its been set to private. So sad this one's so short but beautiful nevertheless ✨
Great song
Vim pelo Void, obrigado por essa excelente música.

Como eu criei um universo inteiro no Minecraft
This could also be a good soundtrack for a zombie game 👌.
i hope im not the only one
4, not three
four guitar bits not three, always start the next bit of lyrics a bit too soon
This is such a beautiful song. Also side quest? There is a song I just heard that has the lyrics "oh try to break me only you can save me." which has a VERY similar melody to Zia's theme if not the same only more rock sounding. I am trying to find it but no luck.
"I dig my hole, you build a wall."

Aqui pelo Void Append 😁
Incrível...
Donald trump would love this
He's stupid enough to think it's pro-wall, certainly
Hi, new fan here...
I remember there was an old Minecraft video with this song,,, now I can't find it anymore,,, does anyone else remember that?
I dig my hole, you build a wall(x2)
One day, that wall is gonna fall
Gon' build that city on a hill(x2)
Someday, those tears are gonna spill
So build that wall and build it strong caus',
We'll be there before too long
Gon' build that wall up to the sky(x2)
Someday your bird is gonna fly
Gon' build that wall until it's done(x2)
But now you've got nowhere to run
So build that wall and build it strong caus',
We'll be there before too long
thanks void

I remember hearing this song when I was in middle school(I think during 6-7- 8th grade?? Idk) hearing this again brings back alot of bad and good memories from when I was young, now I'm on my last year of highschool, and just listening to this song is nostalgic, I forgot how much this song use to cheer me up all the time, sometimes I just wish I could go back in time and relive a few good places that I have in memory, but that's just that, a memory that you can replay in your mind but never experience it again in real life 💔
I love that this song is an anthem about the pointlessness of walls
this song is somehow more political today than when it first released
@@SaltpeterTaffy Caelondia is an imperialist and vaguely fascist aggressor that engaged in multiple genocides of the Ura. The main protagonist was explicitly stated to be picked upon by others because he looked different, despite the fact he was a born citizen of Caelondia. The game's primary good ending involves rehabilitative justice for Zulf, disobeying Rucks' wishes for activating the Bastion's reset function, and leaving Caelondia to ruin. Caelondia straight up needed to die to end the cycle.
Yes the song is a threat, because Caelondia was an evil nation and needed to die because it demanded other nations be subservient or be erased. You can threaten the wicked without compromising the moral high ground. Following the logic that the game and song presents reveals we should engage with either reforming or abolishing any nation that follows in Caelondia's footsteps.
@@JakeN482 There is no real-world analogue to Ura following this interpretation. So far the ONLY connection to Trump is the wall. The intent of the wall is not to keep away an invading force looking for revenge. That's my point, if the Cael and their wall represent Trump's America, then the Ura, a vengeful guerrilla force, represent...illegals? Is that what illegals seek to do? No. They come here because they like what we have, not because they want to see it burn.
@@SaltpeterTaffy Your analysis is both ahistorical and overly literalist. The Ura need not represent just one demographic, but the multitude of cultures that had been squashed or slighted by America. The US has been involved in a imperialist campaign in Latin America for centuries, with a variety of different ideological and materialist justifications, through dozens of administrations, and with many different bags of tricks. Furthermore the USA has engaged in genocidal behavior several times against the Native Americans as part of Manifest Destiny. The country has a history of racial violence against Italian and Irish immigrants during the eras in which they were fleeing from their countries. The Japanese were interned during WW2. African Americans suffered both slavery and an American apartheid. Hell, even the internally facing War on Drugs creates incentive structures in Latin America that create cartels that their population wants to flee from.
The Wall is just the latest incarnation of America not wanting to own up to the fact it's been a deeply destabilizing force for many countries and races, and that it wants to shut the door after robbing the wealth and resources from nations it positions itself as a paternalistic figure over. The current justification for jailing immigrants rather than legalizing them is "fuck you got mine" at best and fascistic at worst. If the wall gets built, sentiments like those in the song will get expressed.
@@JakeN482 I disagree with your assertions, I disagree with your rhetoric, and that you would call my words "literalist" instead of literal suggests prejudice.
You want me to agree with all that irrelevant blather about America's history of oppression. I am ONLY arguing about the aptness of the analogy, and Bastion is not so complicated that you can reasonably divine all of that from it.
@@SaltpeterTaffy
1) "Literalist - Noun. literalist (plural literalists) A person who adheres to the literal representation of a statement or law. A person who translates text literally. (art) One who works in the style of literalism. " You engage in this type of literary analysis when saying "There is no real-world analogue to Ura following this interpretation." by demanding that a real world analogue must be a single group.
2) What assertions are there to disagree with? Caelondia was founded as a colonialist endeavor. The kid was discriminated against due to having white hair. Zia was discriminated against despite being born in Caelondia. The Caelondian empire invaded the Ura's land for a mix of materialist and fascistic reasons. Caelondia demanded assimilation of the Ura within the borders it had conquered. It built a wall to control Ura movements on Ura land after strangling them economically. The Caelondians worked on a secret project with the goal of genociding the Ura. All of this are facts in the game. All of these facts have real world parallels in the history of the US. Hell, one of the lines in this song, "Go build that city up on a hill", has a real US parallel via the "City upon a Hill" line in John Winthrop's lecture prior to him and his colonists leaving for what would eventually become Boston.
I assume we're just changing the visuals.
🔥
I didn't realize how much fun this game was. It took me forever to finally play this. I'm glad I did
I blame this game for making me fall in love with the indie scene.
Someone knows the chords?
This songs combined with Enemy Imagine Dragon, just perfect.
America: Build that wall until it's done!
Coronavirus: *And now you've got nowhere to run.*
Song good~
Bastion ran so Hades could fly.
I miss all these good ol games
Why build a wall when the other side could just dig a hole underneath it?
that's the point of the song, yeah.
the Ura are taunting the Caels for how useless the walls are
@Vandaleyes I believe the point is they're coming to kill the Caelondians. It's a war song.
They *have* their own city, the Tazal Terminals, the game's final level
I think it's due to *SPOILER*
||how the wall proved useless against the calamity unlike how the ura hole houses proved a far greater defense to it

A good song can be interpreted in many ways. It can be fear, sadness or failure, singing to you and telling you how futile your coping with reality actually is.
As just around the corner there's a disaster of such proportions that will break down all of your defences.
Even teases you with freedom ''someday your bird is gonna fly'', which can be seen as ''your death''.
Different take can be having a narcisstic or arrogant attitude, which is the wall itself.
And it's lonliness singing to you, mocking your absent sex life with ''someday your bird is gonna fly''.
Or it's changes that sing to you, no matter how static and unmovable you think you are, they will come as it's the nature of the universe. Entropy.
It can also be seen as squable between lovers, with the voice having some hope in returning to previous state but being fatalistic in assuming that before the relationship has any chance of surviving, the lovers will become strangers again. You can feel the invisible walls build up as the relationship deteriorates, you step very carefully as not to fall in one of the trou-de-loups that ends it.
Or indecision. A missed oportunity of not taking any action in overanalyzing a specific situation that requires instant solution.
Deep, deep song.
Edit:
One more for fun,
It can also be a tale of a fox hunting near a city diggin holes and being annoyed about people building walls as he tries to hunt down the hens.
These are pretty cool analyses, but I feel it's more literal, relating to it's context in the game.
...this song literally has one interpretation: Fuck Caelondia. From Ura, with love.

Happy 10th anniversary

I came here cause of the game awards and I really wanted to know the name of the song!
Anyone remember that old Minecraft music video for this song? They even put it on the old official Minecraft website.
I found it. It’s by Vareide.
