The Lord's Prayer in Swahili. Only song from a video game (Civilization IV) to ever win a Grammy.

Probably my favourite track ever from a video game.

A bittersweet end to a great game. I'm partial to the Friendly Aerial Faith Plate (bits of it play when you're jumping on the plate) and Bombs for Throwing At You. Love the chaotic distortion, sounds like something a robot would make. The sound design in Portal 2 is amazing.

I know, right? The whole soundtrack is brilliant. I'm not sure if you've heard, but there was actually one song wrote by Ellen McLain herself, which Valve decided not to include in the final game:

It pretty much confirms the whole "GLaDOS is Chell's mother" situation, as if "Cara Mia Addio" didn't do that already. A newer song appears in Lego Dimensions, about how GLaDOS pretends not to miss Chell but secretly still wishes she was there, but I guess that doesn't count since it's not canon. All the promotion the Portal series has been getting lately makes me wonder if a third game is on the way.

Yes that soundtrack is so great... kind of makes me want to play it again, some of the later stages though.. ugh.

Never heard this before, thanks for sharing! Interesting to hear her natural voice unprocessed. But don't you know, Valve isn't capable of making a game with the number 3 in it.

On-topic:

The Sims 1 has an amazing soundtrack. The Build Mode tracks are all improv piano played with such intensity. Buy Mode is a callback to the 1950s, and the Neighborhood themes go all out bossa nova. A small but excellent soundtrack for one of the biggest PC games of all time.

I love the way the flute sounds. This is such a beautiful melody!

I think this band is slowly but surely becoming a new favourite of mine.

Oh, and I should warn you that this particular music video of theirs is a little "rough", so if you don't like strippers dancing with blood all over themselves, don't watch.

 

[Hulaette]

I can relate to this song in so many ways.

This was a double post by accident so I edited this one with a new video

Streetlight a little too heavy for you? Try Toh Kay's cover.

So if you like the way you look so much then baby you should go and love yourself
