What is the most meaningful song in a game to you personally?

Shall I tell you what piece of music constantly haunts me? This one. God I remember first playing the first KH game and falling in love with this piece of music. Sends shivers down my spine it does! Put me in a good mood it doesn't though.AbstractStream said:
I LOVE this song with a passion, I love the atmosphere, hell I love the game (got my Mirror's Edge t-shirt
)The OTHER Still Alive is amazing too but I prefer this much more underrated one.
This and also the main MGS theme used a lot in both 2 and 3 are perfection, Harry Gregson-Williams is a genius.
Also include anything from Masashi Hamauzu (Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Unlimited SaGa) but especially these two battle tracks
Final Fantasy XIII
and
Unlimited SaGa
oh and just for good measure this from Final Fantasy XIII-2 always puts a smile on my face
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
Faunts - M4 Pt. 2
It's my favourite song of all time and it was used in my favourite game series of all time. It definitely fits in with the game, both in sound and in lyrics, but both of those are brilliant anyway regardless of context.

Well just like many people here, Mass Effect's "Vigil"
However, I have to mention the first KOTOR when you're at the top of the....Star Forge? near the end of the game and you have to make a choice between going full Dark Side or not, Jolee Bindo is telling you, "Don't do this kid. I don't want to fight you, but I will if I have to," while "Binary Sunset" is played (I think that's the name of the "Star Wars" piece, but it's played throughout the trilogy usually when the Force is being used or Jedi are referenced).
It was all fun being a jerk throughout the game, robbing people, intimidating people, and Force choking/lightning everyone, but when this scene happened, and the music was playing you could sense the struggle within me

Someone already said still alive, so I'm gonna go with "Ragnar the Red", as sung by the bards of Skyrim. Of all the ways I might die, killed in a bar-fight by a warrior woman offended by my drunken boasts and shenanigans seems to be the most likely. It speaks to me right here *points to heart*

This tune, this whole 1 minute and 37 seconds of slow music encompasses the entire character of Batman, and Bruce Wayne too. The sheer amount of power in this one little scene (for an achievement, may I add) hits harder to me than the entire game, or anything else from the lore.
Think about it, Bruce Wayne lost his parents at a young age, yet because they were wealthy, young Bruce was able to get through life with the help of Alfred (pretty much the father Bruce never had). If the same thing were to happen to whomever reads this, somebody without the wealth of the Wayne?s, would that not give you the same drive to stand up for justice the same way Bruce did? Would you not want to see redemption?
This single aspect created The Dark Knight, and he knows that he has access to the wealth, and he knows that he is the hero that Gotham deserves. But all of this can?t bring his parents back. The struggle to prevent what happened to him, happening to others, is pretty damn powerful I feel.
Batman is complex, he is dark, he is vengeance incarnate. But this one piece of music, this one scene from a video game. Shows he is still human.

inb4 "Still Alive"
If I had to pick something more profound and touching than the farewell song sung by GLaDOS, I'd have to pick the farewell song sung by GLaDOS at the end of Portal 2: "Want You Gone"

None of the above have anything on this timeless classic from a timeless classic:
If you grew up in the bit wars, this song will overwhelm you with nostalgia. I honestly can't listen to it without tearing up.
Then of course, there is the first game music I ever heard:
Can't forget these amazing melodies.

Corneria, the first 3D level I ever saw and I loved every moment (despite utterly failing miserably when I first played it in the early 90s).

Said other amazing song is of course:

The Kyle Landry version of that song is just great. Well, they're both great, just in different ways.
I listened to this osong on repeat for days after hearing it for the first time. No idea why, it just relaxes me.
No gaming music thread can ever be complete without anything from the Chrono series.
Special meaning to me because it's the first proper thing I ever learnt on the piano.
Some great choices, special nods to the wild arms song and duck tales theme.
I could post a few more wild arms one that meant a lot to me but will try and mention songs from games that haven't been mentioned yet.
You only hear this once in the early stages of FFIX, but does a lot to get you in the mood and prepare yourself for the rest of the game When reminded of FFIX, tis this song I think of first.
I feel I have to include one from Vagrant but am torn on picking just 1 song... Actually quite a few personally relevanvent songs but guess the dragon boss theme edges it out as being the most memorable and fits the mood perfectly (you're fighting a friggin dragon): Isn't anywhere near the best song of the game, but most memorable due to being associated to some great boss fights.
Remastered version of one of my oldest fav themes Golden Axe 2, fuck yeah.
