I'm playing Death Stranding with a constant thought in my mind: What can I do to help another person?, to have that in my mind whenever I'm playing this game is just Beautiful. Thank you Kojima Sensei.
@@Vertignasse82 that's the beauty and theme of the game, we are not seeing each other yet we are still connected and the world will be a better place again if we are willing to help out each other!
I’ve just got home from work, sitting in the darkness of my car, the rainfall pattering on the windscreen in front of me and echoing off of the rooftop, listening to this and crying my eyes out. I lost someone dear to me recently and I feel so lost despite having a good job, a mortgage, good friends and family. I feel happy to have know her, but sad to have lost her. This is a beautiful song.

You're not alone friend. The bonds we've created are not lost. They're still there. Don't let her death destroy you, she wouldn't want that for the world. I've lost... so many things... All my life... Which is why I'm trying to treasure what's left. Let's grow stronger together friend. We're all here for you.
Sorry for your loss man ;( I’ve lost my mum dad and sister I’d love to tell u it gets easier but it’s something you just learn to deal with every day, sounds like you’ve got plenty of people around you though, be strong bro
Just finished the game last night with my boyfriend. The game was just incredible from beginning to end. The music was heaven-sent, the writing and acting was out of this world, and the game looks spectacular. I will miss everybody: Sam, Lou, Fragile, Mama, Lockne, Deadman, Cliff, Heartman, Die-Hardman, and even Higgs. Thank you Kojima!
Finished DS today, right today, so many years after the release. And here I am. A cinematic masterpiece, no doubt. Lots of grinding, lots of helping others, lots of mixed emotions on the gameplay. But overall I can say that Kojima sensei operates on another level, will get DS2 as soon as it's released.
@@Buzz_1991 It's the one sentence that stuck with me the most. Aside from the main theme of connection, I found Death Stranding to be a beautiful story about paternal love.
The feeling of connection. It's the theme of the game. Kojima wanna make us undestood that the connection between people save more lives than everything else.
I imagine staying indoors and watching at a window while the timefall slowly destroys everything outside. And this feeling for me is understanding that you are trapped, you miss your friends, and this will probably never end... Kind of feeling of hopelessness...
I read about them in some music zine. Picked up their first CD and was soon bouncing in my car seat driving home from the store. I was like YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!
@@Espere Low Roar, Silent Poets, Neighborhood, Bring me the Horizon etc. I'd rather have Hideo literally handpick music for all future games. He's got good taste.
The moment when you finish this incredible game and listen to this song will never be forgotten, just watching a black screen with so many inexpressible mixed feelings. The most unique trip ever, and it will always be a close game to my heart, thank you Kojima, this is my GOTY.
It was different for sure. Rare you find unique experiences in games. Their just reboot of the same old crap, multiplier only go shoot up over and over. Ps1 and before broke new ground a lot, alas, that era of unique game creation is dying. Death stranding was most original content/story i’ve planned in 2 decades.
lol stop do the drama act bitch, people had died even before, what the fuck you believe? there is no risk of extintion r similar shit, look at the black death of the 1300, or the spanish flu, way worse disease and pandemic situation, of this little virus called covid 19.
@@dagan8659 Have you ever heard about global warming? OneManMedia22 does not say anything about covid disease, so he could also mean that a bit bigger problem.
I don't care about what people say about this game, it was innovative, hopeful and refreshing. Was it slow and grinding, intimidating? Yes. But that's also what life is like, and ultimately, this is what the game is about.
The intimidating part was why it stuck with me so much. Games like Silent Hill or Dark Souls naturally are intimidating, theyre dark and creepy and brooding. The unexpected part for DS' intimidation is that it doesn't bother to dress up like batman before it gets intimidating, its scary right out in the sun and the trees
actually, if you does not aim to 5 stars everyone, the game shouldn't be grindy at all... right? i basically rush through every BT/MULE area with vehicle without problem, only need to fight them when there is side mission to steal back the package as for the snow mountain part, skeleton is enough to carry Sam through it
if you focus on only the story, i believe the only downside is that you might be under equipped for boss fights due to a lack of strong weapons and you lose out on useful level 3 skeletons that last practically forever and overall better really though, kojima makes games where you shouldn't be focused on the main story most of the charm is hidden within the cake with a lot of substories are going on in the background that you might miss (please get the pizza deliveries done before you finish the game for maximum surprise!)
I really like the porters connected list that shows all the players' IDs, feeling the connections with other players. Thank you strangers for your help.
Seriously, Cloud Atlas and Death Stranding cater to the same type of audiences. Those who loved either one will most probably love the other one as well.
Everyone who suggest that Death Stranding would be better as a movie hasn't understood how it's using gameplay to tell a story. Some spoilers incoming: The gameplay loop consists of 2 main parts of which people that rushed through the game (aka most reviewers and let's players) mostly interacted with the first part: The struggle. Everytime you progress though an unexplored path of America you are on your own. You have to find your own path withstand the obstacles and the forces of nature to connect this part of land to the network, unlocking footpaths where other Sams walked have before and structures that make traversing the world easier. The second part of the gameplay loop is to contribute to this infrastructure which not only helps you, but might help someone else as well. This is where a lot of the reward comes from in the game. Building an efficient zipline network through an area where you once had to struggle to get through is one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had in a game. And this is what in my opinion Death Stranding does better than most other games, where gameplay and story often seem like they are two seperate and mostly unrelated elements. Death Stranding tells it's story through both, cutsenes and the interactive gameplay of all the players. It shows that if we pull our own weight and work towards a common goal we can overcome great challenges. It isn't idealistic about the whole connection theme by suggesting that it's gonna be easy. Quite the contrary. It's gonna be hard, and some part of the society might not be pulling in the same direction (there's always gonna be people blocking paths, or misleading people) but if we focus on self-improvement, we indirectly make society stronger. If you play the game long enough you'll notice that there is a 3rd part of the gameplay loop: Just because you and others worked hard to build the land up doesn't mean it's gonna last forever. Without maintanance the infrastructure (and society) will start eroding. This means we can't rest on our laurels once we think we've accomplished something. If we do for too long everything we've built up will fall apart. The important part is that maintanance requires less effort, but it still requires some effort and recources. If we decide to let it fall apart we'll have to start from scratch. It's impossible to maintain everything, so we have to choose which parts we're gonna keep and which parts we don't need anymore as our outlook and our objectives in this world change. Tomorrow is in OUR hands.
Your comment is one of those that probably belongs in UA-cam hall of fame, considering the quality of comments you can usually find around here. Kudos to you sir :)
@@t.gracchus1786 DS is a little more geared towards those of us that like to chill back and are meticulous (rebuilding highways, creating massive zipline networks, and going for all of those star patches). I felt the same excitement and satisfaction from this game as I did trying to stealth only MGSV. And this is coming from someone who's rarely touched Kojima games. Kojima knew he was making a very new controversial direction with this kind of game and props to him for making a AAA title game that he purely wanted to make rather than have fan-servicing be a major factor in the production.
Maybe it's not perfect, not by a long shot but it's so refreshing to see someone try and make something new and ambitious. All the game companies like Activision and Bethesda make the same game year after year because they are too scared to deviate from their formula. All these people hating on the game because it doesnt instantly bottle feed their short attention span.
Not defending activision or bethesda or any greedy game company but gaming industry had become so expensive that cost hundreds of millions, making fresh and new game like death stranding is so risky. Why take risk while we can make another fifa game? No hate on fifa tho People say game nowadays is boring, but the truth is all these creative and innovative dev get eaten by greed and capitalism. So sad.
well Bethesda does made Prey, another best game in my list, but thanks to all the controversial and "it is just Dishonored in space", it doesn't get much attention as it should be Again, as someone who HATE grinding or exploring (I can't play any open world for few hours before found it super boring, even for great game like RDR2 or witcher 3), and I finished both DS and Prey (both completed the side missions)
@@roticanai000 my friend capitalism is the main reason why companies risk like with these games (death stranding) or even making a complete change like with the last god of war
bro activision and bethesda aren’t even game companies, they’re a joke, i don’t think by comparing to them makes this game look better, it onlg shows you’re setting the bar really low, that’s why companies get away with everything they do, it’s because people are comfortable with mediocrity
I've been a fan of CHVRCHES way before Mirrors Edge and Death Stranding, but I cried in excitement when I found out that they were going to be doing a song in these amazing games.
I first listened to The Bones of What You Believe back in 2014. I think I speak for everyone who's been a fan of them for that long when I say that finding out that not only are they featured in one of your most anticipated games (And one of my favorites now that I finished it) but wrote a song specifically for it is one of the best feelings in the world.
The only problem I have with Chvrches is that their music is literally too beautiful for me to process. I feel like it is literally beyond existing and I just can’t, they are bullying humanity with how overwhelming this stuff is 😂😭
Really? holding video games at such low regards is really offensive to all who make them video games are the greatest method of story telling and entertainment and death stranding proves that.
Probably the best thing that happened this year so far that this game has been released on pc too. Fantastic game, beautiful soundtrack and this song is so cool as well. Thank you.
This is going to be the end credits song, calling it now. Hopefully it can get people searching up the name of the song and get CHVRCHES more recognition because they're truly an amazing band that deserve it.
I'm so glad they're gettin the recognition they deserve, fell in love with this band since their first EP and even then i knew that they will become big someday. LOVE U CHVRCHES
Thanks for returning me here, dear algorithm. The song never left my mind, just went to the back. Returning here made me remember the desire to have a connection with someone, and maintain it. The struggle never ends, for a better society indeed!
You knocked this video out of the park. The music and video editing are just sheer beauty in the platonic ideal sense. Thank you so much for making this.
yeah.. for me and from my belief.. it does.. everything we have God lended them to us.. all borrowed.. and God can take any of those anytime.. and in desperate time.. only to God we beg.. so yeah.. we begged and we borrowed.. we own nothing in this world.. appreciate what we got before it is taken.. and be grateful always..
Every time I listen to this song, I can see Sam holding BB close to his chest. The rain has stopped, the sun starts to peek through the clouds and a rainbow slowly forms 🖤
most songs that played throughout the campaign are very slow and has that melancholic feel to it but this one is upbeat and feels "hopeful" it really caught me off guard during credit roll
Imagine walking down a big mountain towards a settlement in death stranding and this song starts playing while the camera slowly zoom out to cover the whole scenery. Just imagining this makes me wanna play the game
I haven't even touched the game yet but I'm already super emotional, it's been such a journey from the very first teaser trailer at E3 2016 to tomorrow when the game is released. Hearing this song with the visuals makes me choke up even though I've had no part in the making of the game. I still think it's amazing that a band I really like collaborated with Death Stranding
This! And now imagine how it felt when The Last Guardian for example finally came out after almost 10 years of waiting. Worth it and I think it will be the same with this one
almost 03:00 a.m., April 2020 when the world was struck by COVID and everyone is stuck in their homes, I finished this game and this song hit....and I wept like a baby.
Lauren Mayberry has such a wonderful voice that I could die for. Found this excellent band a few years back with Every Open Eye and fell in love with everything, the voice and the music by Martin and Iain. I was quite surprised to see this band making a soundtrack for a game that I have followed the developement for years. I was also surprised when I heard them on Swedish radio just a year back. I hope to see this fantastic band to grow further and let everyone know about them. Too many good songs to be unheard!
This song and her performance at the Game Awards at the time just kidnapped my soul, and I was happy for it! She is so good at singing, so good lyrics and the music..is just..MAGIC! I love ChVrches! She is alsovery,veery pretty(just a bonus)
1st time listening: Oh, this is nice. 50th time listening: YOU CAN TAKE MY HEEEAAART 🎵 Edit: 300 likes?! Thanks everyone! I hope you all have an awesome day!
On paper I didn’t care much for this game I was going to skip it for NFS but it wasn’t in stock so I picked this up instead and it became the best game I played last year. True master piece created by a true master I should never of doubted the legendary Hideo Kojima.
this masterpiece just hits the core of your soul and echoes.Something i cant explain. god its beautiful. Makes me want hold my chest and cry everytime i listen.
@Myllena Lara Alves da Silva You don't need it to be real event. If Titanic just another overseas accident will you even care about it. Story is the key of those event has life and memories.
CHVRCHES is such a great band and stuff like this makes em even cooler 😎 they ought to release a compilation of all the singles that didnt make it on the LPs
I love this song 😀 the version you guys released during the first UK lockdown was played more times than I can remember. I'm so looking forward to your next album 👏👏👏👏👏
I get the feeling that it's the end of love, and soon no one will ever love each other again. But I'm so desperate for connection, that before love dies completely I want to completely surrender to someone just so that love continues a little longer. If everyone does this, can love continue a little longer? Or are we still doomed? In other words, CHVRCHES nails the intended theme of the game. There's a reason Kojima cried when he listened to this. It perfectly exemplifies what he's going for with Death Stranding. I had almost no interest in the game before listening to this, but now I've been hooked.
This song hits differently after playing the game. When I heard it live at the game awards, I almost fell asleep, but after I played the game, it's emotional
Honestly this song means a lot to me personally. I've always been in jeopardy it feels. This just reminds me of those intense moments I have. "You can take my heart and hold it together as we fall apart." Makes sense to me because the people I'm close to are what's keeping me alive as of now. Sometimes I'm reluctant to keep on living and want to die. But someone comes in and keeps me here just a stretch longer. Even if it means more pain k could never disappoint them. Or in song form. They're holding my heart together as I fall apart. This song just makes me sad.
I'm playing Death Stranding with a constant thought in my mind: What can I do to help another person?, to have that in my mind whenever I'm playing this game is just Beautiful. Thank you Kojima Sensei.
a masterpiece!!!
All that goes through my mind playing is "fuck it raining!" or "god damn it i fell in this small revine thing" or "wHerE iS mY LevEL 3 GuN"
I rebuilt every single section of road for this exact reason. I hope it helps players somehow.
Dude, yes! Look what you have done Kojima, you god damn creative genius 🥲

The only problem I have with Chvrches is that their music is literally too beautiful for me to process. I feel like it is literally beyond existing and I just can’t, they are bullying humanity with how overwhelming this stuff is 😂😭
His music like J-POP but in UK version
Just finished the story, wow, the most incredible game I've ever played, feels almost like a disservice to call it a game, it was epic
Really? holding video games at such low regards is really offensive to all who make them video games are the greatest method of story telling and entertainment and death stranding proves that.
Just call it art then.
This song feels like a goodbye. A perfect combination of hope and hopelessness. SO WHY DO I LOVE IT SO MUCH???
Seems like a song for the current day, if things go the worst they can. If so, it's a fabulous eulogy for the human soul.
Do you think the world is better or worse? Hope you are well. ❤
@@Crackfox75 I think the fever is about to break, and recovery is on the way.
@@akiramenai4973 Seems to me we're the disease. Imagine how all the other species we've trampled and de-homed feel about us.
Probably the best thing that happened this year so far that this game has been released on pc too. Fantastic game, beautiful soundtrack and this song is so cool as well. Thank you.
I would just like to thank Hideo Kojima for introducing me to CHVRCHES. Been listening to their music non stop since the song first came out.
She has a beautifully captivating voice. I'm blown away at how amazing this song is too.
Its strange I wouldnt have thought this would be the type of music I wanted but its dam good
You have already thanked him with your money you bum
This song is giving the same vibes as their the bones of what you believe in. I love it
agreed
Their best album.
Got addicted to chvrches thru bones of what you believe. Cracking album. Their best by far
Hell yeah
@@gfunkgfunk5081 Yeah... it's unfortunate they haven't been able to top it yet
This is going to be the end credits song, calling it now.
Hopefully it can get people searching up the name of the song and get CHVRCHES more recognition because they're truly an amazing band that deserve it.
Exactly! After all their game collabs and the one with Marshmello, I thought they would blow up so much more than 600k subs.
And you're goddamn right lol

Just perfect, we should make this song the anthem of humanity
Just finished the game today and holy shit. This game was phenomenal
I'm so glad they're gettin the recognition they deserve, fell in love with this band since their first EP and even then i knew that they will become big someday. LOVE U CHVRCHES
I absolutely love your songs from Death stranding and Mirror's edge catalyst.It's pure art.Insanely beautiful,toucheable & actually meaningful
sam breaking lou's capsule at the end
a truly masterpiece
Thanks for returning me here, dear algorithm. The song never left my mind, just went to the back. Returning here made me remember the desire to have a connection with someone, and maintain it. The struggle never ends, for a better society indeed!
Came back to this game and this song because of the director´s cut, can´t describe how much i missed it, my comfort game whitout a doubt
Just finished the game and already missing you BB.
0:00 this video is amazing
When I heard this in the end credits, I immediately fell in love with this song.
one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
You knocked this video out of the park. The music and video editing are just sheer beauty in the platonic ideal sense. Thank you so much for making this.
Still crying over this...
BEST GAME OF THE DECADE
Agree
Correct
Yep
Pffft
Should have been 2019 GOTY
"we begged and then we borrowed"
That little sentence has such a powerful and hidden meaning behind it.
yeah.. for me and from my belief.. it does.. everything we have God lended them to us.. all borrowed.. and God can take any of those anytime.. and in desperate time.. only to God we beg.. so yeah.. we begged and we borrowed.. we own nothing in this world.. appreciate what we got before it is taken.. and be grateful always..

@@Shay_Mendez He sent Jesus because he loves us so much. So so so so much! :)
STFU about Jesus and God FU God you are not real people don't be stupid man fuck you to all Gods
Every time I listen to this song, I can see Sam holding BB close to his chest. The rain has stopped, the sun starts to peek through the clouds and a rainbow slowly forms 🖤
4:42 is my favourite part. Her strong voice is beautiful
I imagine this song will be played when Sam climb the endless stairs...
Kojima tweeted that this is the song for the credits, I can already see myself crying to this
@@Diegomolinams98 me too
@@Diegomolinams98 it was a reference to that famous mgs ladder scene
@@jordiguerrero9633 I know
Kept you climbing, huh?
This song should be an anthem. I can't describe it. It gives me some kind of hope.
most songs that played throughout the campaign are very slow and has that melancholic feel to it but this one is upbeat and feels "hopeful" it really caught me off guard during credit roll
Imagine walking down a big mountain towards a settlement in death stranding and this song starts playing while the camera slowly zoom out to cover the whole scenery. Just imagining this makes me wanna play the game
Spotify told me today this track was the track that got me through - my most played track of 2020
Didn't play the game but, jesus, what a beautiful soundtrack
The game is every bit as beautiful.
I haven't even touched the game yet but I'm already super emotional, it's been such a journey from the very first teaser trailer at E3 2016 to tomorrow when the game is released. Hearing this song with the visuals makes me choke up even though I've had no part in the making of the game.
I still think it's amazing that a band I really like collaborated with Death Stranding
This! And now imagine how it felt when The Last Guardian for example finally came out after almost 10 years of waiting. Worth it and I think it will be the same with this one
Spoiler alert heartman dies
Not only is death stranding amazing, but the soundtrack slaps so hard...
almost 03:00 a.m., April 2020 when the world was struck by COVID and everyone is stuck in their homes, I finished this game and this song hit....and I wept like a baby.
Lauren Mayberry has such a wonderful voice that I could die for. Found this excellent band a few years back with Every Open Eye and fell in love with everything, the voice and the music by Martin and Iain. I was quite surprised to see this band making a soundtrack for a game that I have followed the developement for years. I was also surprised when I heard them on Swedish radio just a year back. I hope to see this fantastic band to grow further and let everyone know about them. Too many good songs to be unheard!
Lyrics, vocals, production, hooks. What a great song.
This song and her performance at the Game Awards at the time just kidnapped my soul, and I was happy for it! She is so good at singing, so good lyrics and the music..is just..MAGIC! I love ChVrches! She is alsovery,veery pretty(just a bonus)
Bro?
Things i love of death stranding:
-Norman reedus
-Low roar
- bb
Yeah when this song played after the end after all you played through, just amazing
It really was.
最高にいいやん！めっちゃ好き！新曲待ってました！！
Like the game, this song now feels super relevant.
Love these lyrics. Never noticed them when I heard them at the game awards. A lyric video is powerful when the lyrics are worthy.
1st time listening: Oh, this is nice.
50th time listening: YOU CAN TAKE MY HEEEAAART 🎵
Edit: 300 likes?! Thanks everyone! I hope you all have an awesome day!
1st time listening: Oh, this is nice.
2nd time listening: Yeah, it's awesome
3rd time listening: YOU CAN TAKE MY HEEEAAART 🎵
Both of these of course occurring within a couple hours of each other.
You stole this
That's It! 😂🤣
😩 AND HOLD IT TOGETHER AS WE FAAALL AAAAPART 🎵
One of the few times a piece of music from a game has made me tear up and still listening to it nearly every day
This will be sung at the end of COVID crisis
MrGSABIorek yes sir
ate?
Just create one big virtual meeting and have everyone sing it. I'd join it.

Just finished death stranding, amazing..
this just became the biggest banger this decade, and it came out in the last half of the last year of it
I didn't skip the end credits. It says a lot for me. Then I recorded them using the Share button. Then I watched them again. And again.
Man was I not expecting this game to make me feel so strongly. Hats off to Kojima and Co.
this song always evokes some sort of undescribable feeling to me
On paper I didn’t care much for this game I was going to skip it for NFS but it wasn’t in stock so I picked this up instead and it became the best game I played last year. True master piece created by a true master I should never of doubted the legendary Hideo Kojima.
this masterpiece just hits the core of your soul and echoes.Something i cant explain. god its beautiful. Makes me want hold my chest and cry everytime i listen.
This is the sort of song that I make sure not to listen to too much so I can apprieciate for as long as possible. This is so incredible
Where boys cried: Titanic
Where men cried:
Seriously
@@hsdgfasdg5646 why not
Where everyone cried
I prefer to think of it as where parents of very young children cried.
@Myllena Lara Alves da Silva You don't need it to be real event. If Titanic just another overseas accident will you even care about it. Story is the key of those event has life and memories.
Lovely song for a beautiful game. Respect from a little band in Canada.
CHVRCHES is such a great band and stuff like this makes em even cooler 😎
they ought to release a compilation of all the singles that didnt make it on the LPs
They wouldn't have made this song without this ''mere'' video game.
I love this song 😀 the version you guys released during the first UK lockdown was played more times than I can remember. I'm so looking forward to your next album 👏👏👏👏👏
I’ve waited my whole life for this. Every song I’ve ever listened to has led me to this masterpiece. A perfect ensemble.
Im trained to cry each time i hear this song.
I get goosebumps at the chorus every time I hear this song
I love this song, didn’t enjoy the previous album so it’s great to see them return back to form
This music hits so hard on me that made me think about of what we are doing here and what is our propose to this shitty world that me live.
This song complimented the game so well. Great job Chvrches
I get the feeling that it's the end of love, and soon no one will ever love each other again. But I'm so desperate for connection, that before love dies completely I want to completely surrender to someone just so that love continues a little longer. If everyone does this, can love continue a little longer? Or are we still doomed?
In other words, CHVRCHES nails the intended theme of the game. There's a reason Kojima cried when he listened to this. It perfectly exemplifies what he's going for with Death Stranding. I had almost no interest in the game before listening to this, but now I've been hooked.
I give thanks to Death Stranding for introducing such beautiful songs especially this one band. Instant subscribed, love it.
If this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not going!
This song hits differently after playing the game. When I heard it live at the game awards, I almost fell asleep, but after I played the game, it's emotional
THANK YOU for this wonderful song to the game. Gooseflesh moment. . . I haven't gotten that song out of my ear in days. . . wow.
Honestly this song means a lot to me personally. I've always been in jeopardy it feels. This just reminds me of those intense moments I have. "You can take my heart and hold it together as we fall apart." Makes sense to me because the people I'm close to are what's keeping me alive as of now. Sometimes I'm reluctant to keep on living and want to die. But someone comes in and keeps me here just a stretch longer. Even if it means more pain k could never disappoint them. Or in song form. They're holding my heart together as I fall apart. This song just makes me sad.
Stay strong
Keep on Keeping on. Don't give up.
everybody gangsta till the rain makes you older
And then there is BT's started to kidnapping you ☠️☠️
This song really fits the quarentine.
Try as I might, I just cannot get tired of listening to Chvrches music.
