Your not alone. (Game soundtracks)

[aka958]

I feel that game soundtrack often surpasses popular songs.
I dunno how they do it, but sometimes it magically fits and has that feeling into it.

Listened to "Your not alone" from FFIX and thought that this song is much easier to relate to. It gives me a nostalgic feel and a special atmosphere.

The same with "Shall never surrender" for example. It gives me a nostalgic feel and it has that touch that makes it great.

But whenever I hear a song by Aerosmith, Madonna, Guns and Roses, or any other band/singer, I can't get that feel that the game soundtracks gives me.

Share some game soundtracks you like (I think this has been done before) that has given you that nostalgic feel and makes you feel that you relate it to something.

I'll say "Your not alone" is my choice right now. I've replayed it over and over at least 20 times now, can't stop replaying it all the time.

Do they have to have lyrics? If so, I like All Of Me from Shadow the Hedgehog. His World is a good one too. Sonic games always seem to have some of the best songs.

Too bad Shadow has heavy metal as his theme type now. I liked it better when it was techno. I'm really into techno.

Speaking of techno, there are a few songs in Metroid Prime that always get me. Well, more than a few... I'll list them here, in no particular order.

I'll put my reasons for each, if you guys prefer.

 

[aka958]

Your not alone doesn't have lyrics, you should know that.

Dude, that's one hell of a list you got there!
Can you really relate to all of them?

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Yes, I can. I'm one of those guys where a lot of songs get to him emotionally. I can find youtube links for them all, if you like.

 

[Ebony]

I love my guilty Gear soundtrack

 

[aka958]

^Guilty gear has a great soundtrack, but I personally like "The holy order" the most.
The best Guilty gear song IMO:

@DT: Sure do, I don't think I'll get the time to listen to all of them. But maybe some.

I'll post Your not alone from Final Fantasy IX for everybody to hear too then.

[Laurence Barnes]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!that is a big list dt

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

OMG, aka, I believe my brain truly did get blown away. AWESOME SONG IS AWESOME!!!!

 

[aka958]

Yeah, Guilty Gear has that effect.

But Your Not Alone is of another kind of music. I love it, can't get it out of my head, and I don't want it either.
