Game's Ending Songs that are beautifully with AND without context

[Salad Is Murder]

I believe this is the correct answer:

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

I loved this one, when it started playing at the end. It fit very good.

 

[tthor]

for a while I couldnt even listen to that song..its just so....uuugggghhh fuck that game for making me depressed

God, i forgot how awesome that ending song is... and how depressingly sad that ending was.. :'( now I feel all sad and melancholy.. Damn you Red Dead Redemption for tugging at my heartstrings..

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

My choice would be The Best Is Yet To Come from the end of Metal Gear Solid. A hauntingly beautiful piece of music.

Ninja'd, by you and the people mentioning Mass Effect and RDR too. All very nice compositions.

I have been beaten to all three games that I came here to mention: Mass Effect, Bastion, and Red Dead Redemption. In fact, I haven't even played RDR, but I love Dead Man's Gun anyway.

This thread got me wondering: is it possible for a song to only be beautiful outside of context? As in, it just doesn't work with the game it's matched to but is great when the listener can imagine their own context?

dude, go play Red Dead Redemption. Its an awesome game, and remembering its awesome storyline somehow makes Deadman's Gun seem so much sadder to listen to .-.

 

[Smeggs]

What, No Kingdom Hearts yet? Hell, the music in the commercial is what originally caught my attention.

Spoiler: For Shame.

[Rhymer]

Oh that's easy:


Easily the best game soundtrack of the year.

Well, ninja'd four times on the first page. Damn.

With or without context this piece as well as all the other songs from the soundtrack are simply superb. Man, now I have to go play Bastion again...

 

[Starik20X6]

Wait, two pages in and no 'You Were There' from ICO? For shame!

Batman (Genesis) "Ending Theme"



Castlevania: Bloodlines (Genesis) "Requiem for the Nameless Victims"

 

[Aidinthel]

I don't have either a PS3 or an Xbox, or I would have. And I've already read about the story.

 

[KindlySpastic]

I have to agree with Gaiseric above. The "Good" Ending theme for Metro 2033 is very good.

 

[Mouse_Crouse]

Always one of my all time favorites and a very beautiful song.

[Arif_Sohaib]

Not an ending song but in Saints Row The Third the licenced use of "Need a Hero" in the last mission was great.

 

[imnot]

There we go
ODST OST is best OST

 

[Stephen Caswell]

I was gonna go with that!
