My friends, you probably saw that last night I lost the Grammy to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. The overflow of support I saw here, on Twitter, on facebook, over email and everywhere else was overwhelmingly touching to me. I can't thank you enough. Please don't forget that I never sought to win a Grammy. My goal was to try and make music that remotely did justice to thatgamecompany's masterpiece. I could never thank them, or you, enough for this adventure.

Oh man you're here. I'm 7 years late but oh god, this soundtrack is beautiful, thanks for making such a piece of art. Thank you.

Won a Grammy. The soundtrack of a videogame Won a Grammy those days. WOW
James Meehan
It was only nominated for a Grammy although that is still very impressive. It DID win a BAFTA for Original Music in 2013 so it shows you that the Brits appreciate a good soundtrack.
2nikka22
it lost to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo actually
Ace Luke
+François Trudel Wasn't it just for a best single of some sort? Either way video game music is slowly becoming more recognized in the music world.
François Trudel
Actually, check out Baba Yetu from Civilization IV. It came out in 2009 (before Journey) and WON a grammy.
Preston Dixon
+Julian Gutierrez Actually, it got NOMINATED for Best Soundtrack. I think it lost to How to Train Your Dragon. Although it's still a feat for being the first ever video game soundtrack to ever get nominated for a Grammy!

Who said video games aren't art? Haha, what a stunning piece of music.

@Its rain again i know someone who did, the guy who made YIIK said 'games weren't art' after his game was heavily criticized. Take that however you want

@Ad Revenue Sky is out now! In many ways it's a spiritual sequel to Journey.

I love your profile picture and name.

@Its rain again People have said that, and they have good reasons for saying it, just as some people do for seeing games as art. It's actually an interesting debate with some good points on both sides, but of course people like you are not intelligent to understand such a sophisticated concept as a debate.

You know kiddies, it's not graphics that make a good game. :)

@Amalgam on that I agree mario 64 is amazing

@lenk I mean, you're not wrong, but I think what Could9 meant was that you can't tell the quality of the whole game just by looking at the quality of the graphics itself.

Journey has great graphics

Go to any temple and play this. it'll make them sound unnaturally holy. :D
I remember playing this game and meeting another player half-way through, after which we stuck together and helped each other until the end, ringing out our emote every time we began to get separated. It was all really heartwarming, I think. They drew a heart in the snow at the top of the mountain and we spent another brief moment ringing out the little emote thing before they ran through the portal. I regret not sending them a friend invite - I never saw them again. But that memory along with this music is something special.

This song plays whenever I hover over the Journey icon on my ps3!! I always leave it on to play for a little bit while I do stuff or just when I want to hear that song again. Too beautifull to stop it.
MrKredos
holy shit dude, i used to do that aswell HAHA. that brings back fond memories
Ashley L
BOINKHeadshot i have the ps4 dynamic theme, so this song is constantly playing as long as i'm in the menu overlay. sometimes i hate starting up a game, because it means the song will turn off lol
Goofy Wolf
Yeah whenever i stay on the icon it plays this and it is absolutely beautiful

In sea of dirt of partial reign, Was a soul that stood to appointed stain. The dreams were fade in distant sand, Of ruinous cascade and barren land. Across the hill of stone be grave, That many had heed and many shall crave. Upon the cross of silent wind, Till eyes be glimpse from far and thinned.

I was reminded of this game about a day ago - this was my childhood. I brought this game for the PS4 in a collectors edition. This game quickly became what Iâd turn to when things in life where becoming too much. This game helped teach my younger self how to see beauty in things that are overlooked in daily life, and helped me find a sense of peace when I was alone - because while some people may come and go itâs ok to travel through your Journey alone and thereâs nothing wrong with that. To this very day at age 20 I still believe that my ability to find peace and beauty in my surroundings and in isolation is in large part because of this beautiful game. I need to go back to it I think, this game deserves so much praise.

This has to be among the most staggeringly beautiful pieces of music ever composed. It's exquisite. I love that game music has the same power to move as film.

Opening reminds me of the cello solo from the beginning of Le Cygne, and do I hear a bass flute?

Just kinda writing down what i imagine while listening to this masterpiece. As the name Nascence means "to be born" i sort of imagine the beginning as being the tranquil time before existing. With slight glimpses of life starting at 0:26, as those slight glimpses come to an end, at 1:04 "you are born". The song of life plays strongly as you are living, slowly coming to a close as you approach the "end".
This has to be one of the greatest compositions in all of gaming. It just sounds so relaxing, and puts all of your worry's at ease with the smooth Cello sounds; then later, the song starts to pile on more instruments that make it sound so epic, and gets your mind in the mood for adventure while setting the tone of the game very nicely.
