Silent Hill 2: Theme of Laura (5/8/2009 @ IGC East '09)

[lenoaraca]

Master of the Masters!!

[darekrusaderBacklive]

hellyeah love yamaoka!!!

[vincent2fly]

Sax on the beach.

[Dollymayfrosty]

Never thought someone could look sexy playing a woodwind instrument...before.

[BelovedYaoiChild]

@Dollymayfrosty I concur!

[RabenShield]

Better version than the original i think :D

[Authoritya1]

Damn, this inspired me to pull out the soprano again and try this! Without the improvised part probably haha

[jinnaboy]

epic sax guy 

[existtraiesc]

never thought i would say it but...preffer the guitar better

[WilmoTheBear]

Why is it always the youtube videos i really want to see, why do they always load like it was 1998. WHY!?!?

[RosieSquall]

@WilmoTheBear Murphy's law :(

[RafaelEVOX2]

Epic sax guy!!! 

[TZJiang1]

god those asian percussionists are hot

[legendaryfatcat]

Zach Zinger has a personal invitation to play the sax for every moment of my life. I hope to the gods that he accepts.

[hsgomesp]

maravilhoso. amazing. no words to describe it.

[freesjr]

2:11 - 2:19 that clarinet part is awesome too ! 

[ShanePonMusic]

Alto?

[asqwert2121]

SAXOPHONE is BEAST!!!!!!!!!

[Tempest0777]

Fantastic!! but that dude shouting ruined what would have been a near studio perfect recording. I would have been so choked.

[Fatalfusionn]

Zach fucking Zinger@*&#^@!*~

[SurooshX]

That sax, man...

[lobato114]

zac zinger IN THE HOUSE!!!

[Posetus]

Really made my day

[TheJosephmore]

Oh, Dios, es excelente. No paro de escucharla, se notan los vacíos en algunas partes, donde la guitarra es esencial, sin embargo los instrumentos de viento cubren la melodía, lo mejor sin duda es escuchar el enfrentamiento de los instrumentos en la parte que yo llamo 'intentos fallidos'. Fascinate, excelente.

[CuteLittleSadistxxx]

Maybe I'm just being a total nerd, but the blond on the cello sort of looks like Walter, and the guy on the saxophone looks like Henry from Silent Hill 4. (Please ignore me, I just really had to mention it for my own sake.)

Anyway, this music is absolutely beautiful. The first time I heard this version I couldn't stop listening to it for about an entire hour. That sounds kind of obsessive, but hey, it's a really good song.

[metalhawj]

i think this ones my fav version

[Nattakorps]

silent baker's street

[Wesebozije]

what was said at 2:18?

[wovenv2]

@Wesebozije "Zac Zinger on soprano sax!"

[xshold]

This is just amazing ! Love it !. Can you do Some other silent hill themes ?, or resident evil ? : )

[CCTV9]

ALL

MY

MONEY



[masterman1able]

wuaw !! the song is change complete ! its god any way

[GBchannel28]

2:18 My day has been made.

[graviron]

what event is this?

[15mercyfulfate]

any one notice the guy with the ponytail whos just sits there?

[Belsonlimsyhow]

@15mercyfulfate That guy is the flute player. He played Scars of Time in this performance

[PuertoricanPatriot1]

I do think this group could do with a trumpet

[ender424]

Parts of it sound a lot like Scars of Time from Chrono Cross.

[PuertoricanPatriot1]

Vagita! what does the scouter say about the amount of likes!?

ITS EXACTLY 900!!!!!!!!!!!

[RafaelGantz]

muito bom cara!!!

[bennator]

wow - this is so fucking amazing.

[FullMaximum]

imagine this with the electric guitar instead of saxophone!, it would be just PERFECT

[JadeAegis]

@FullMaximum

No way, the sax is perfect for this.

[vhndmncngl]

who is all of these guys? totally awesome, and best quality recording in youtube, hmm

[LVLITISiinvokeyou]

(ToT)/~~~

 (speechless)

[sapnyosentry]

Freakin saxy



[86dulcenea]

dang that saxophone is the best out of all

[Tr3s3ntos]

Throw stones on me if ya want. But is Silent Hill any good (RE 1-4 and Dead Space are my Survivor Horrors ^^')

[EternityRose]

@Tr3s3ntos If you want a horror game that crawls through your mind and latches onto your soul, causing you to fear what you never would have feared before, then DEFINITELY check Silent Hill out. Silent Hill 2 is still the best of the series.

[Joveesia]

@Tr3s3ntos Silent hill is better than those, especially 2 in my opinion. They're most psychological horrors than the visual horror that is Dead Space and RE. Though between the two of them, I might have ot say it's a little closer to Dead Space. Just a wee bit. I honestly suggest playing Silent Hill 2 first out of all of them.

[8KAMISH]

interesting...

[luisperi18]

i dislike the first guitar :(

[ketchupfreeman]

we played this at our school i was the only one to look at this vidieo as my practice XD

[orochihebi87]

Awesome!

[csarlifilpo]

epic :o)



[goodfull123]

awesome ~~~~~

[zacattak12345]

I don't care what his paycheck is now, that Zach Zinger guy needs to be paid more.

[Aiklerus]

EINFACH UNBESCHREIBLICH GUUT!!!!

[FartingMan100]

This is the meaning of music man !

[memokk]

fucking great

[xstiibax]

AWESOMEEEEEEEEE!

[kurenaisama]

Such a fucking genius! Whyd he leave silent hill? :(

[MrGLPfan]

SILENT HILL BEST SERIES

[MrGLPfan]

awesome!

[MrGLPfan]

awesome!

[MrGLPfan]

good song one of the best silent hill songs

[0nikage781]

ARKSUMNESS!!

[Jahooba]

Damn, this gets in your head. I've listened to this video like 8 times.

[mgirayk]

7 people arent on soprano sax

[adepredador]

esta genial pero las guitarras le dan mas sentimiento

[MrRicardoChango]

Man... giving the main melody to the sax... GENIOUS! It sounds so different than the original version, but it's really great. And the part where the clarinet and the sax are soloing... just... 10/10 :')

[LourdesOcando]

2:18 my tears just ran out, and I'm a man.

[starikillersan1]

beatiful beatiful beatiful

[anino22]

Beautiful

[abreufortaleza]

wow it sounds like time´s scar int the beggining. Lol

[godsonlybegottencat]

Wow, this is amazing. I love how the clarinet supports saxophone. It is almost as if she is singing.

[volonton]

I love the gockenspiel at the beginning.

[wipers86]

his guitar work is sloppy

[dreamercross]

-just beat SH1-

-put in SH2-

-first thing I hear-

FUCK YES THE POWER OF THE PS2

[GTA88555]

better with quitar...just my option;)

[wipers86]

@GTA88555 what is better with guitar if your saying the guitar playing is better in this version then you must be having a laugh the guitar player was sloppy as hell at the beginning only at the end he sounded good

[ringoishere]

juegazo de la vidazaaa, y la musica tiene mucho que ver en lo que digo



[Welther47]

It's so rare to hear a saxophone in this kind of music. It's very refreshing

[thexvalkyrie]

Laura was a brat, but I love this song.

[fictionalsilence]

So good!

[kurgan654]

this is awesome i really want to view this performance someday

[jlcordovav]

[KaOsIAsSaSiN]

[TheLaurinha2012]

The Song has my name ;)so happy

[nemuanimation]

the people that liked this will have god dreams tonight.for the dislikers.silent hill will wonder into your dreams and trap you in it until you die asleep.

[BpRaver]

4 person still traped inside silent hill

[NeoDiego0402]

4 persons have no souls

[clarkispotamia]

Silent Hill music is vastly underrated.

[Voyeuryzm]

@clarkispotamia Akira Yamaoka is vastly underrated...

[spiritfired]

LOL How could they made such a creepy song to such a beautiful song?! Oh I get it Akira...You get very beautiful nice songs and just use a slower tempo and very few instruments to make us feel creeped out!

[Kamownevery1]

you know what sh series creeps me out to the bones but this piece is just beautiful.

[DeepCrimson]

They were so jammin' on those woodwinds! Ecstatic!

[curtis8516]

thats just blown me away

[crash6192]

Anyone else know where I can find sheet music for saxophone or recorder or flute of theme of laura? THANKS!

[KiyojiStar]

2:17 <----- epic soprano solo

[VsionEffectable]

The asian girl on the right is damn hot!

[VsionEffectable]

Super Mario Galaxy!

[straybird86]

the first time I heard theme of Laura it was amazing moment,, I felt connected to James & Mary/Maria and their story ,,the best series was (SH1/2/3/4) that's silent hill for me not the latest SH games :( good memories thou <3

[sapnyosentry]

@straybird86

exactly my thoughts friend. I had bought the game at a local rental video store for seven bucks thinking it would be a cheap resident evil ripoff. As soon as I watched the intro and heard this theme, I knew I was in for something special.

Five years later, its still one of my favorite games of all time. :D

[EternalDestiny95]

Zack Zinger anyone? (^~^)

[NinkaKiwi]

I think probably the best part about this performance was everyone looked like they were having a good time. Great rendition of an amazing theme.

[101deviance]

Jazz of Laura

[AWDracer]

The saxophone at the beginning sounds so similar to Time's Scar of Chrono Cross.

[lyaacoubicham]

i love sax now xD

[alkaline]

must save this in favorites!llol



[soadfan33]

I love it!! Great performance!! I luv the Theme of Laura! Silent hill 2 is my fav

[xiuvizard]

Where can I download this awesome piece?

Any Idea?

[lyaacoubicham]

@xiuvizard download the video and convert it to mp3 ;)

[lynn125lynn]

I love looking at the violinist at the very end.  Her smile make me happy!

[Dontforgettobreathe]

I wish everyone in the world could listen to this and appreciate it.

[LifeIsLiar]

Did I just cry a little? Sure did.

[XxSargeantTibbz117xX]

....I am speechless. I hope you guys know, you're my new heroes! That is one of my favorite Silent Hill songs and that was an INCREDIBLE rendition of it! I wish my school band had string instruments then maybe I could talk our director into doing this...maybe we could make it work with just winds though. But I doubt we'd find a sax player as epic as Zac!

[Draxyle]

As much as I love the rock guitars in the normal version of this, the sax makes for an excellent substitute.

[EraserGaming]

This was perfect :))))))

[Leungy12252]

D: i think i am having a man crush on a saxophonist at the moment...

[Panxo063]

Beautiful Solo!!! i love the song from sax ^^

[Dkolin]

Why are sax players always so damn cute? I mean seriously. I've never seen an ugly sax player... Atleast not one that was good at playing the sax.

[SADFEETFEAR]

@Dkolin thats what she said.

[JAWSlover1999]

1st sum1 yelled out randum bs at 2:18 2nd its jazz its 2 calm 4 sh2 or laura

[JapanForSale]

I don't know what the IGC is, but I'm guessing the musicians were paid, right?

But as for me, if I actually had that kinda expertise, I would do it for free, just to show how much I love these songs. Playing them alone would be enough compensation for me.

[mrhaas93]

0:58 i think this guy is in The Pink Panther .

[Chiibarita]

AWESOME!! Ii have no words for this, it's simply AMAZING! <3

[LoneWolfOnTheHeights]

Did some wanker in the audience shout something at 2:18? Totally ruined the moment for me.

[Sainttheonly]

@LoneWolfOnTheHeights I think it was the conductor, you can hear him at 3:20 (Zack asks "What's next?", he replies "Super Mario, Zack") I think the voices match, ergo - it was the conductor +)

[LoneWolfOnTheHeights]

@Sainttheonly Oh haha, fair enough I suppose if anyone has the right to do that it would be them.

[VGOOnline]

@LoneWolfOnTheHeights It is Shota, the director, introducing the soloist by saying "Zac Zinger on Soprano Sax!"

[hmp22]

@VGOOnline

lol, owned

[LereveurSVP]

@VGOOnline

ça ne change pas le fait que sont intervention gâche le moment.

[Welther47]

@LoneWolfOnTheHeights "some wanker in the audience " LOL.

You can see he smiles there too

[MintehFreshness]

So fucking am-a-zing.

[acronem41975]

Makes me wanna get my PS2 out and play the game

[SirTenedor]

Zac Zinger and the blondie would make such a lovely couple :_)

[theFightingFan]

As awesome as it is, I'm sorely disappointed that you can barely hear the acoustic guitar. It's pretty important to the song and it just kinda fades in and out. I know the focus is on the sax, but without giving the guitar the proper visibility it really kills the song for me. I really do like it, though.

[chesspro22k]

@theFightingFan

i can hear the guitar all thime, just turn ur bass up.

[UltimateDarkSim]

Very nice.

[Tokorai]

I will give them credit, that was skill. But really, do you have to butcher the song to prove that? The original had a creepy feeling that was completely lost in this.

[sapnyosentry]

@Tokorai

I like to think of this as James's theme at the beginning in his marriage when he was happy.

[Skateboard513]

Phenomenal!

[LePutaMadre]

Full of mistakes.

[aiwotome]

ハンサム率高い

[FinalFantasyLov3r124]

Wow this is such a pretty version of very gorgeous yet creepy song. Love it!

[Non4MeThanks]

YES!!! finally a saxophone who knows how to go vibrato the right way!!!!!!!!!! and he is a soprano player?!! well thats just fabulous.

[RamiRomz]

how did they make a lovely composition out of a very creepy music is beyond me..

[glitcha100]

Silent Hill... Bring back akira!

[tiaghumortoon]

sensacional,timbre perfeito do sax , até a clarineta conseguiu tirar um som perfeito.

[TheNaruto586]

if only I could play like that.............and if I owned the right saxophone

[JustinT2]

Zac Zinger pwnerated that clarinet player... even though it wasn't supposed to be a duel...

[Sk8terGaMer89]

2 people r being raped by pyramid head...lmao

[sivisexe]

very cool interpretation ^_^

[GameMusicCompilation]

this orchestra is amazing.

[insan3d0wn3r]
