10 years ago Skyrim came out on 11/11/11. This video is a small dedication to the music, beauty, and ambience of this game. Side Note later on in the video when the songs start to repeat, I removed a few of the more intense/spookier ones. Anyway I hope this video can bring you some peace and help you relax :)
Thank you so much for creating these awesome videos for us Loopy Longplays, they really are mesmerizingly relaxing and even though I haven't been able to play for a few years now, this helps fulfill my longing for the play of the game and the nostalgia of it all. I also wanted to ask if it was possible to incorporate some of the music pieces created by some of our UA-cam stars like Lindsey and Peter and others into some of these videos just to give them a little edge, or would they be upset if you used their pieces which they re-created that are dedicated to the Elder Scrolls?
Sometimes, we don't really feel like we belong where we are. Despite it's ups and downs, I have also felt like I found a home in the wilderness of Skyrim and the music is a major contributing factor.
Skyrim is my safe place. Before I had anyone to help me, when I was alone, I could retreat to this world where I could be someone else, someone good that saved everyone (or not, depending on how I wanted to play). This world made me forget about the struggles of real life if only for just a moment. And that effect, that very strong feeling of calm, peace and safety, I can still feel it today. It makes my anxiety go away. I love Skyrim.
💜💜💜 You should visit my safe place some day: Vvardenfell in the province of Morrowind. Skyrim is beyond beautiful, but you haven’t lived until you’ve heard the cries of a siltstrider during an ash storm.
@@princesscandlewax5170 noted. I'm playing Daggerfall at the moment and it is amazing and beautiful, when I'm done with it I might play Morrowind too, problem is it's the only one in the series I don't own yet. Literally the only one. I have all other games and DLCs, including ESO. Right now I'm having money problems so I can't afford to buy it anymore but when I have the chance I'll take it!!
The beautiful thing about video games is that they do the same for many of us. For me it's between Skyrim and Destiny! But Skyrim has something special about it. It's just so relaxing and beautiful.
no joke dude. i found this video soon after it was uploaded and holy cow did it help me through some hard times and a hateful job. but, life is looking up. i start my new job next week as a new truck driver and hopefully it works out for the best.
I'm now permanently housebound by medical problems and mobility issues. Playing Skyrim allowed me the illusion of being back out in the wilds again. Allowed memories and sensations of when I would go for many long peaceful hikes. Thank you for all the work you've put into these Skyrim soundtracks.
Jeez that sounds terrible 😞 I hope you can continue to find similar games, sounds, music, ambience to help get those memories and feelings back. And it’s the least I can do ❤️
oh my that must have been terrible for you,im a nature lover myself so i could relate. idk whats your condition but i really wish you the best recovery, dont give up! try to find a way to get back up okay?
And that's why I love video games and movies. They're a fantastical way for people to engage and escape. I'm so glad you're grateful to the people who produce things like that. That's so great you have that attitude! You are amazing, keep it up. I hope you're living brightly, day by day.
2:08:52 I remember the first time I decided to actually spend time in a tavern. It was the Bannered Mare in Whiterun, and the bard was singing a tune as I walked by. It was an interesting tale, so I sat down to listen. I think I sat there for an hour, just soaking up the atmosphere and listening to the bard. That was the first time that I truly let myself get lost in the atmosphere of a game.
I think this game genuinely saved my life. In some of the darkest times in my teenage years, Skyrim gave me the possibility to have adventures and feel important, when no one else was giving me experience of that sort. This music always makes me feel at home, and at peace with myself and who I am. I don't know if I would still be alive if it wasn't for how well Skyrim treated me. Thank you, Bethesda, for creating a masterpiece that changed my perspective on life and how I choose to live it
Same. I lost my first job, drove straight to GameStop to pick it up. Played all day every day for a couple months. Got a good job after a week of looking. I always come back to Skyrim and feel that same feeling of calm I felt 12 years ago.
This is my dad's favorite game. When he does eventually pass I will travel and listen to these songs at the highest mountain tops. The lowest valleys. And everywhere in between
Use to disappear in this world, never felt right in the real world and never felt myself. In Skyrim and oblivion, I lived a different life. An I loved it. The music was a huge factor in that, it just has a way of getting at my feelings and I love it. Miss you Skyrim. I wish I could go back 12 years ago, and get ready for your release all over again. Now I’m old and I can only think about those times and realize I’m never going to have that moment again.
Same! I'm 36 and never really been much of a gamer, though I always did enjoy rpg the most and some strategy games (age of empires), but Skyrim is and always will be best game there is for me and my home.
I feel like a very dark necromancer in a world of creepy human bones everywhere. I more so feel like a kid at the trampoline park, or when I watch the Emperor's New Groove! Not so much in Skyrim. But I do still love the game and play it through over and over again, making sure to do something different every time. (Trying to win with just a fork and necromancy this game. So far it's freaking hilarious). Well, I guess that's because I was already an adult when I played it for the first time, so no wonder I wouldn't feel like a kid.
Currently listening while studying for my law school exams. I cannot explain the amount of comfort this soundtrack brings me in times of stress. Thanks so much for putting this together!
I'm a 60-year-old guy working at a university occasionally working from home. My kids play Skyrim on occasion--I haven't, and may never play it. That being said, I've tried all kinds of "focus" music to work by--smooth jazz (my personal favorite), classical, easy listening "elevator" music--you name it. These Skyrim pieces I stumbled upon today are among the best! Thanks!
I'm trying to get my 67 year old dad to play. It's pretty fun. It's really quite silly because it's not polished, so you'll get pretty entertaining physics bugs. But it's not hard to master, it's pretty smash and bash in terms of combat, so you'll master it easily. Your kids will love if you can play through at the same time. ;)
Instead of reading the fantasy book and imagining the places and events, you’re in the places, doing the events. Imagine if you could explore Oz in its entirety, go outside the bounds of the four corners of the screen, or the pages of the books. That’s what video games allow you to do. I’m actually very surprised no one has done an open-world Oz game yet. It’s an entire country full of fantasy.
When people ask me why I like video games, I want them to see and hear this video. It’s more than a hobby, it’s an escape. It’s like… feeling above feeling. You’re elsewhere, but you’re here.
i’ve never felt nostalgia in my life until i heard this…. that first walk from helgen to riverwood to whiterun, and then that long trek to bleak falls… what i would give to experience it again for the first time.
i may have only played skyrim for 7 hours since i got it today but it is one of the few games that makes me want to do side quests engage with the people and truly make my own path, and it is by far the most immersive gaming experience ive ever had.
That’s cool you just got Skyrim I played it when it first came out in 2011 and I loved it and was so immersed in everything , now I am 23 and my life is so different to how it was then but I still remember this game and my life then times
I love how you paid attention to the tone and the title of the tracks, fitting each song with appropriate scenery! Most ambience videos don't have this, Awesome job!

im 20. these sounds and places have been home to me since the age of 10. I am grateful with all my soul and existence for this experience. everytime im heartbroken... everytime i lose faith... YOU are always here.
I still remember the day I played Skyrim for the first time, I got it for Christmas in 2011 and I remember it like it was yesterday, and here I am more than 10 years later playing Skyrim again and listening to this. It brings me joy, this game will have a special place in my heart. I appreciate the soundtrack even more now than I did 12 years ago but I still remember these tracks
For half a semester this was all I listened to while studying - Thank you Loopy. This video is masterclass, and so is Skyrim. The peace Jeremy Soule's music grants me is unparalleled. And I shall continue listening to this wonderful soundtrack again and again, till I achieve my Engineering degree. And then listen to it some more cause its just that good. Take care x
Wow! I am so happy to hear it’s helped you my man. Best of luck on your future endeavours of becoming a world renowned master engineer 😊 Okay that’s a bit of embellishment but I know you’ll do well for yourself dude. Seriously thank you for watching this video for so long and I really do wish you great success for your future engineering days❤️
I've played Skyrim for such a big part of my life, I'd revisit some locations and remember important things that were happening in my life while I was playing around those areas. I remember the first Dwemer dungeon I cleared while my dad watched and the bench I sat on in Riften when I would do my homework in real life. Skyrim will never feel the same for me again but it doesn't have to. Jeremy Soule's work on this soundtrack will keep those times alive in my memory
This game was and is still my life, I always come back to this world whenever I need to get away and I just play and play. Nothing brings me more peace than the explorations and sounds of this wondrous world..
I have played many, many pc games in the last 20 years,,, Skyrim is the only one that i still have on my pc,, I have several mods installed, that really expand the experience,, Such an amazing gaming engine that does not require a $5,000 rig to enjoy to the max,, :-)
I am so in love with this game. This and Fallout 3 will forever be my two favorite games from adulthood. The Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past will always be my #1 though. 😄
This playlist is absolutely Amazing. I love reading the Wonderful comments, to hear all these individuals sharing their heart In the world we all love. It really brings it to life and in a way, feels like this world is not a memory, but a reminder we are still living in it every moment of our lives. Never alone, always under the same skys. Thank you all for keeping the presence alive.
Thanks for reminding me about more than 10 years without a new TES single player title... Apart, from that, great piece of music right there and nice touch with the date of premiere
Words can't describe how much I love Skyrim. It's just such a great game and the vibe is just mesmerizing. I'm glad it's became a part of my childhood.
Literally. This game will never get old. It will forever be one of the best games EVER. I’m so glad I grew up watching my big brother playing it. I’m 15 now and I’m re-playing it. It makes me so sad because all I can think of is me and my sister watching our brother playing it, late at night. Oh how much I wish we could go back. Now my big brother is gone. He was 22.. passed in August 2021. I’m sorry for the depressing shit, the game just makes me even more sadder because all I can think of is him.
@@Berries.creamm So sorry for your brother… I’ve also always watched my older bro play the game during our summer break. I was 10 when the game came out, being a young and stupid kid I couldn’t really play the game myself because I never did the storyline.. Killing chickens and messing with Whiterun citizens was all I did back then and it was great fun. I’m an adult now and me and my bro barely meet up anymore. Reading your story makes me want to see him and maybe play some Skyrim together again.. So sorry for your loss!
@@Berries.creamm Sorry for your loss. Stay strong and cherish the good moments! I lost my uncle when I was 22 and I spent my childhood with him, also staying up late and watching him play games. :) Make the best of your memories and stay positive! Wishing you all the best
I have dual monitors at work and frequently have the video open full screen on one of them. It occurred to me the other day that it totally looks like I'm playing the game at my desk. It's the beautiful combination of the audio and visuals that makes it so relaxing.
It makes me so happy that this exists 🥰 I just started playing (11 years late, I know) and I'm obsessed. I turn this on when I go to bed and it's about as satisfying as the game itself
This guy is actually the most underrated youtuber that completes the game. I am a perfectionist so I love to 100% complete games and this guy has been doing it for 4 years and I love it.
Man, I miss this game. This game reminds me of what Bethesda games are supposed to be, and it makes me hopeful for Starfield and TES6. Thank you for the video, Loopy
Really soothing and relaxing. It makes me feel that I am connected to the world or that whoever is listening shares the same energy or feelings with me.
Currently I'm playing Skyrim for the third time, and every time I here this blissful music's while travelling the regions makes me more excited for Elder Scrolls VI.
When everything at work or in life becomes overwhelming, I can always count on Skyrim and its soothing music to help me find my center. Still my favorite game and soundtrack since it came out.
Elder scrolls, especially Skyrim, even fallout at times, brings the same peace that LOTR brings me. Its just an unexplainable comfort, it feels like home.
I wonder of anyone feels as if they *should* be in a place and time like Skyrim. Like you belong there and just need to go back. A melancholy and nostalgia of a place that would be home if we had been born at the right time. Peaceful in a way, small house with the fire going on. Chaotic because you are fighting to survive. But home nevertheless.
The game is so old when it came out I was 10 and I still play it to this day and even the graphics don't bother me at all I just love it I just hope they release a new Elder Scrolls after Starfield
Cleaning my house to this right now. Simply amazing what Bethesda can do huh. Almost 12 years and still the most immersive game there is. Though fo 4 is a contender.... maby
This might be the single best piece of content on UA-cam. This was recommended to me purely through the algorithm and boy is it on point today. I won’t lie I was listening to this for 2 hours before I realized this video was 11 hours 11 minutes and 11 seconds. So incredibly perfect and the fact that you thought to do that shows a true fan. My guy I’m gonna subscribe and blast your channel to my whole one friend in this world just for that. Thank you for this wonderful video that will now forever be my housework background music.
This makes major assessments so much less stressful, and my focus increases dramatically. The occasional dragon roar also gives me hits of adrenaline when I need it hahah.
"A Chance Meeting" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It's just a couple minutes long, but the melody is like something from my DNA memory...
3:30:00 One of my personal favourites. This extended collection of ambient music from Skyrim is much appreciated. The compositions themselves are truly a masterpiece. EDIT: (the video is awesome now, thank you).
Just a tip: Wild-Berry makes an incense called rugged leather, smells exactly like it sounds, and playing Skyrim while burning some of that incense in the room is a life changing experience.
Nearly my entire history degree has been produced to the sound of Skyrim's wonderous soundtrack. Many an essay conquered... and now my thesis shall soon rest alongside the bones of Alduin and his many kin.
Getting stoned after having played a nice 13 hours and just standing at Bard's Leap, or somewhere high in the Rift, in the plains of Whiterun or out on the frozen tundra nearby Winterhold, seeing all of these different colors and places that're all so familiar and welcoming.. Nothing beats that. No matter how many times I hear these songs, from the nighttime music, the cave ambiance, the streets of Whiterun, the tavern music and the sounds of the Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood family around you, it all feels right. Playing this game is an all new adventure every single time, because I have a different experience for every character I create, but the one thing that stays the same is the appreciation of the sound. Every little sound, the little details of how your armor sounds, your footsteps, the sounds of nature and the people milling around in towns and farms, it's all a tapestry of sound. I love this game, more than anything else I've ever played, and I've probably spent 11 out of my 18 years on this planet dedicated to this game. It's just a huge part of me, and I just felt the need to share that.
There’s so much to do in this world and thinking about all of it is overwhelming. I want to do everything, see everything and feel everything. I want to get the most out of this world. This music entices me into thoughts like these.
Skyrim has the most amazing music! This brings back so many great memories. Finding secret caves, sneak stealing from chests, looting farmers crops, escaping prison becase I got caught...ahh the good ole days xD
I thank you for all this work. it is absolutely necessary to play Skyrim in vr. With a few mods you improve the graphics a lot and this amazing music does the rest. I finished the game for a long time but if I want to relax I wear the viewer and start wandering around Skyrim.... it is poetry in its purest state .... nothing can relax me like this!
10 years ago Skyrim came out on 11/11/11. This video is a small dedication to the music, beauty, and ambience of this game. Side Note later on in the video when the songs start to repeat, I removed a few of the more intense/spookier ones. Anyway I hope this video can bring you some peace and help you relax :)
Ooo
I've never played the game, but the music is asthonishing. Reminds me of wandering around the world of Azeroth. Thanks for sharing. Much love!
It works, it actually helps me go to sleep. And I never get tired of Skyrim.
Thank you so much for creating these awesome videos for us Loopy Longplays, they really are mesmerizingly relaxing and even though I haven't been able to play for a few years now, this helps fulfill my longing for the play of the game and the nostalgia of it all.

These sounds make me homesick.... for a place I've never been....
perfect way to explain it. gave me chills
Sometimes, we don't really feel like we belong where we are. Despite it's ups and downs, I have also felt like I found a home in the wilderness of Skyrim and the music is a major contributing factor.
Yes!
I am the kind of tired that sleep doesnt fix
This music makes me sick in the best kind of way.
Skyrim is my safe place.

This world made me forget about the struggles of real life if only for just a moment. And that effect, that very strong feeling of calm, peace and safety, I can still feel it today. It makes my anxiety go away.

Hope the first day goes well

We never truly quit Skyrim. We just take breaks. Praise Talos
Praise Mara of Love. 💕

Facts this game truly is badass
Bless you. You are important😊
This brought tears to my eyes because I had the same experience (as I'm sure many others did)
Same. I lost my first job, drove straight to GameStop to pick it up. Played all day every day for a couple months. Got a good job after a week of looking. I always come back to Skyrim and feel that same feeling of calm I felt 12 years ago.
Doesn't Skyrim makes you feel more lonely? It's mostly dungeon crawling.
This is my dad's favorite game. When he does eventually pass I will travel and listen to these songs at the highest mountain tops. The lowest valleys. And everywhere in between
In the meantime, maybe take your dad with you with the soundtrack in the background.

Same here, just working on a criminal law paper while relaxing.
Good on you all. I am in the depths of IT Security Plus training.

If ever I was able to live in another universe, it would be that of The Elder Scrolls universe.
BUT only if Jeremy Soule's music just came out of the sky.
And die by age 36 from some mystery illness
That’s the allure for me

@Jesus is coming. Read the Gospel. Those words do not belong here. Just enjoy the songs.
@Darkstalker Kaathe you're right. They belong everywhere:)
@@sauceboss9443no thank you- freedom for religion and freedom FROM religion

I really like that you tried to make the scenery match the music 😃
im 20. these sounds and places have been home to me since the age of 10. I am grateful with all my soul and existence for this experience. everytime im heartbroken... everytime i lose faith... YOU are always here.
The sleep ambience of Skyrim is where it's at. To me it's the most relaxing feeling for a tired body.
The audio equivalent of soul food. Chicken soup for the ears 👂
I still remember the day I played Skyrim for the first time, I got it for Christmas in 2011 and I remember it like it was yesterday, and here I am more than 10 years later playing Skyrim again and listening to this. It brings me joy, this game will have a special place in my heart. I appreciate the soundtrack even more now than I did 12 years ago but I still remember these tracks
It's so much more than just a game! Might be the best bits of code ever written 🤔
This game is heaven on earth, it takes us places we long for, places we return to, truly a masterpiece of a game
For half a semester this was all I listened to while studying - Thank you Loopy. This video is masterclass, and so is Skyrim. The peace Jeremy Soule's music grants me is unparalleled.
And I shall continue listening to this wonderful soundtrack again and again, till I achieve my Engineering degree. And then listen to it some more cause its just that good. Take care x
Wow! I am so happy to hear it’s helped you my man. Best of luck on your future endeavours of becoming a world renowned master engineer 😊
Okay that’s a bit of embellishment but I know you’ll do well for yourself dude. Seriously thank you for watching this video for so long and I really do wish you great success for your future engineering days❤️
I'm not into gaming, so I haven't played this, but this music makes me want to...
It was a time before the depression hit me. This reminds me how good I felt, that time is now gone.
Mix St johns wart herbal tablets and Lions mane mushroom
That time can be yours again, all you have to do is pick up a controller, friend. Your Skyrim family misses you.
@@jimf4278 You are a good person my friend
@@jimf4278 picking up a controller would make things even worse. Cuz unconsciously you understand that it will never be the same again.
Some people listen to classical music to write their papers… I listen to this legendary soundtrack.
I've played Skyrim for such a big part of my life, I'd revisit some locations and remember important things that were happening in my life while I was playing around those areas. I remember the first Dwemer dungeon I cleared while my dad watched and the bench I sat on in Riften when I would do my homework in real life. Skyrim will never feel the same for me again but it doesn't have to. Jeremy Soule's work on this soundtrack will keep those times alive in my memory
This game was and is still my life, I always come back to this world whenever I need to get away and I just play and play. Nothing brings me more peace than the explorations and sounds of this wondrous world..
I have played many, many pc games in the last 20 years,,, Skyrim is the only one that i still have on my pc,, I have several mods installed, that really expand the experience,, Such an amazing gaming engine that does not require a $5,000 rig to enjoy to the max,, :-)
I reinstalled Skyrim after this video after not having touched it for years. I’m now happily building a house with my khajiit
May your path lead you to warm sands... 🏜️
Me too. The mods have changed so much since I played I'm having to relearn all that mess. But looking forward to taking an arrow to the knee
you are the master of your life. Mastering your mind, your emotions and your habits can change the trajectory of your life fast ❤❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷🌷❤❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷
I am so in love with this game. This and Fallout 3 will forever be my two favorite games from adulthood. The Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past will always be my #1 though. 😄
Fallout 3 and Skyrim... take me back 😢
This playlist is absolutely Amazing. I love reading the Wonderful comments, to hear all these individuals sharing their heart In the world we all love. It really brings it to life and in a way, feels like this world is not a memory, but a reminder we are still living in it every moment of our lives. Never alone, always under the same skys. Thank you all for keeping the presence alive.
This is amazing...gotta admire the 11:11:11 thing you did here
You're going to sovngarde Loopy, for sure
My little dragonborn is in elementary school now! How time flies!
Thanks for reminding me about more than 10 years without a new TES single player title...
Apart, from that, great piece of music right there and nice touch with the date of premiere
@@patryk_lewandowskiabc Actually we got The Elder Scrolls Blad-hahahahahahah
Words can't describe how much I love Skyrim. It's just such a great game and the vibe is just mesmerizing. I'm glad it's became a part of my childhood.
Literally. This game will never get old. It will forever be one of the best games EVER. I’m so glad I grew up watching my big brother playing it. I’m 15 now and I’m re-playing it. It makes me so sad because all I can think of is me and my sister watching our brother playing it, late at night. Oh how much I wish we could go back. Now my big brother is gone. He was 22.. passed in August 2021. I’m sorry for the depressing shit, the game just makes me even more sadder because all I can think of is him.
@@Berries.creamm So sorry for your brother…
I’ve also always watched my older bro play the game during our summer break. I was 10 when the game came out, being a young and stupid kid I couldn’t really play the game myself because I never did the storyline.. Killing chickens and messing with Whiterun citizens was all I did back then and it was great fun. I’m an adult now and me and my bro barely meet up anymore. Reading your story makes me want to see him and maybe play some Skyrim together again.. So sorry for your loss!
@@Berries.creamm sorry for your loss
@@Bebe-rn2fh you should defenitely meet him and play it together
@@Berries.creamm Sorry for your loss. Stay strong and cherish the good moments! I lost my uncle when I was 22 and I spent my childhood with him, also staying up late and watching him play games. :) Make the best of your memories and stay positive! Wishing you all the best
I have dual monitors at work and frequently have the video open full screen on one of them. It occurred to me the other day that it totally looks like I'm playing the game at my desk. It's the beautiful combination of the audio and visuals that makes it so relaxing.
Haha it lowkey does look like you may have alt tabbed out. Seriously I’m glad you enjoy it so much. The music and ambience in Skyrim is phenomenal :)
Skyrim was always the place I felt safest. When my Anxiety and fear are at their worst that is where I imagine myself to calm down.
its more than just a game
I wish I could go back and play the game for the first time again, just to appreciate the things I missed out on when I was younger.
this is my goto background when i need to get some real work done! works all the time...
i remember literally opening skyrim just to stand there and listen to the ambience and staring into the skyrim night sky. it was so peaceful.
It makes me so happy that this exists 🥰 I just started playing (11 years late, I know) and I'm obsessed. I turn this on when I go to bed and it's about as satisfying as the game itself
I am seriously contemplating playing through Skyrim again. This makes me feel so nostalgic
Such a great score...love to listen to it while walking home after a hard day's work
Welcome Weary Traveler
This guy is actually the most underrated youtuber that completes the game. I am a perfectionist so I love to 100% complete games and this guy has been doing it for 4 years and I love it.
Hearing this always makes my depression and loneliness forgettable always at peace when listing to these sounds
I feel you man 😢
Oh great, listening to this just sparked off my 572nd playthrough. Thanks a lot Loopy, there goes the next several weeks of my life.
A Chance Meeting track gets me everytime. It's so soothing and makes me play the game more and more.
I play this on theater mode while I read. It's helped so much to just focus and relax before getting back to the world again.
This is played during our weekly Dungeons and Dragons nights, to add some serious atmosphere. Thanks for uploading!
That’s really cool to hear, I’ve played a couple sessions as a GM before hope you keep having fun with your group 😁
This has got to be one of the most alive games I've ever played, the whole world seems to keep going in its own way.
As strange as it may sound, the soundtrack is very comforting. When i listen to it, it feels like i am back home finally.
This is just beyong genius!
Its.....beautiful, the best thing made by mankind
Man, I miss this game. This game reminds me of what Bethesda games are supposed to be, and it makes me hopeful for Starfield and TES6.
Thank you for the video, Loopy
I just hope the guns aren't terrible and huge like fallout4.... fingers crossed 🤞
Really soothing and relaxing. It makes me feel that I am connected to the world or that whoever is listening shares the same energy or feelings with me.
I love that you included DLC tracks too. The Forgotten Vale track is so haunting.
Who cannot be inspired by the ambience, and calming beautiful landscapes designed for this groundbreaking game of all time.
I love my autographed copy of the disc set !! Jeremy Soule is one of the better composers out there.
Currently I'm playing Skyrim for the third time, and every time I here this blissful music's while travelling the regions makes me more excited for Elder Scrolls VI.
When everything at work or in life becomes overwhelming, I can always count on Skyrim and its soothing music to help me find my center. Still my favorite game and soundtrack since it came out.
Elder scrolls, especially Skyrim, even fallout at times, brings the same peace that LOTR brings me. Its just an unexplainable comfort, it feels like home.
Started Skyrim again on the PS5. Now I can't stop playing or listening to the music again 🤷♂️😂
I bottle feed my 6 week old daughter to this video. This music is so beautiful and calming unlike any other classical music I've found. Thank you
I wonder of anyone feels as if they *should* be in a place and time like Skyrim. Like you belong there and just need to go back. A melancholy and nostalgia of a place that would be home if we had been born at the right time. Peaceful in a way, small house with the fire going on. Chaotic because you are fighting to survive. But home nevertheless.
To play this game again for the first time in the actual winter . When the nostalgia hits it hurts so good
ive been listening to these tracks for years, skyrim ambience never gets old.
The game is so old when it came out I was 10 and I still play it to this day and even the graphics don't bother me at all I just love it I just hope they release a new Elder Scrolls after Starfield
For a home is Skyrim I don't have, it feels like home
This is so relaxing, it's one of the few soundtracks I love listening to to calm my nerves or have in the background while working or cleaning :)
Cleaning my house to this right now. Simply amazing what Bethesda can do huh. Almost 12 years and still the most immersive game there is. Though fo 4 is a contender.... maby
This will be playing throughout my entire wedding day.
I had a lot of Skyrim in my wedding playlist! We got married in a lodge with snow outside, too. It was perfect.
@@jess8189 That's so amazing, I'd love to experience that. Great for you bro/sis
This might be the single best piece of content on UA-cam. This was recommended to me purely through the algorithm and boy is it on point today. I won’t lie I was listening to this for 2 hours before I realized this video was 11 hours 11 minutes and 11 seconds. So incredibly perfect and the fact that you thought to do that shows a true fan. My guy I’m gonna subscribe and blast your channel to my whole one friend in this world just for that. Thank you for this wonderful video that will now forever be my housework background music.
Honestly, just pop this on, then sit right back and relax in nostalgistic glory
Thank you Bethesda and thank you Jeremy Soule❤
The chills I get whenever the Sovngarde soundtrack comes on...
Beautiful music and ambience! Have a pleasant sunny weekend ahead!
Thanks for this. I listen to this almost daily at work. The music takes me right back! So many cherished memories ❤
Thank you for the tip :)
And I’m happy to hear you can enjoy it near daily while off on your work adventures.
This makes major assessments so much less stressful, and my focus increases dramatically. The occasional dragon roar also gives me hits of adrenaline when I need it hahah.
"A Chance Meeting" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It's just a couple minutes long, but the melody is like something from my DNA memory...
I’m sorry but you just can’t tell me there is a better soundtrack to a video game than this. So perfect.
3:30:00
One of my personal favourites.
This extended collection of ambient music from Skyrim is much appreciated. The compositions themselves are truly a masterpiece.
EDIT: (the video is awesome now, thank you).
Just a tip: Wild-Berry makes an incense called rugged leather, smells exactly like it sounds, and playing Skyrim while burning some of that incense in the room is a life changing experience.
Nearly my entire history degree has been produced to the sound of Skyrim's wonderous soundtrack. Many an essay conquered... and now my thesis shall soon rest alongside the bones of Alduin and his many kin.
Been playing this video in the background every time I play Palworld. Changes the experience 100%
Getting stoned after having played a nice 13 hours and just standing at Bard's Leap, or somewhere high in the Rift, in the plains of Whiterun or out on the frozen tundra nearby Winterhold, seeing all of these different colors and places that're all so familiar and welcoming.. Nothing beats that. No matter how many times I hear these songs, from the nighttime music, the cave ambiance, the streets of Whiterun, the tavern music and the sounds of the Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood family around you, it all feels right.
Playing this game is an all new adventure every single time, because I have a different experience for every character I create, but the one thing that stays the same is the appreciation of the sound.
Every little sound, the little details of how your armor sounds, your footsteps, the sounds of nature and the people milling around in towns and farms, it's all a tapestry of sound.
I love this game, more than anything else I've ever played, and I've probably spent 11 out of my 18 years on this planet dedicated to this game. It's just a huge part of me, and I just felt the need to share that.
There’s so much to do in this world and thinking about all of it is overwhelming. I want to do everything, see everything and feel everything. I want to get the most out of this world. This music entices me into thoughts like these.
I love listening to this soundtrack while grilling/smoking meats out on my deck… amazing relaxing feeling especially in a snow storm.
Skyrim has the most amazing music! This brings back so many great memories. Finding secret caves, sneak stealing from chests, looting farmers crops, escaping prison becase I got caught...ahh the good ole days xD
Literally the most peaceful soundtrack to ever live
11 years ago Skyrim was launched. And despite its flaws, the ambience and music are outstanding.
This is so beautiful. I want an 8-hour version of Solstheim Exploring 3, it's so mesmerising.
I thank you for all this work.
it is absolutely necessary to play Skyrim in vr. With a few mods you improve the graphics a lot and this amazing music does the rest. I finished the game for a long time but if I want to relax I wear the viewer and start wandering around Skyrim.... it is poetry in its purest state .... nothing can relax me like this!
I love how it's 11:11:11. It's such a small detail, yet it's a cherry on top.
I love that you added Solstheim tracks too! Outstanding!!
