Assassin's Creed 2 OST - Track 05 - Home In Florence

[1nhks]

Timeless classic!

[combustiblemons]

I listened to this on my Vacation to Italy... :D

[redninga22]

no place like home

[MrRaumoogle1]

0:00-0:50 epic part?

[zosodesbois]

@MrRaumoogle1

For sure dude !

[Astaroth1985]

My list:

1. AC Brotherhood - Cesare was such a badass villain, very fitting to the story. New features and weapons and a great story.

2. AC 2 - Also a very good game, the beginning was very well told, yet not as good as AC Brotherhood

3. AC Revelations - It was fun, but i didn't enjoyed the city of Istanbul. Italy was a better place for the game.

4. AC 1 - I didn't liked it that much, it was too simple. (Kill Person X, a few races and so on), but though fun.

[Ares14]

AC1 kind of dragged on, was ok.

AC2 was the best, a beautiful game in its entirety.

AC brotherhood had a cool new features that i liked, was better then 1 but not as good as 2.

AC Revelations i enjoyed alot also. beautiful soundtrack, landscapes. storyline was kind of blehh but overall a satisfying game, probably my 2nd favorite out of the franchise.

[Captain0Newman]

AC 2 was the best... AC1 was mostly an experiment, and AC2 was just beautiful. The rest were good, but AC2 has a special place.

[adminfebhost]

the best part of this song is 00:00 - 00:50



[85jakub]

Cristina Vespuci :*

[ZedNassah]

The sound track in this game was entrancing.  I'll never forget it. :')

[xLobo87]

0:55 - 1:20

='((((((

[mackjr1234]

IF ONLY ASSASSIN'S CREED 2 WAS IN 60 FRAMES PER SECOND 

[TheSteadyingMeat]

@mackjr1234 PC version. :| Assuming your PC can run it at 60FPS.

[mackjr1234]

@TheSteadyingMeat Nah, I'm on Xbox. But if Brotherhood had improved graphics and in 50+ FPS, Why can't 2 run it at 60?

[1rtwilson]

Glad I am not the only one who thought the second one was the best! One of my favorite games of all time and the soundtrack just made it all the more beautiful!

[sakoylaras]

If I owned a country this would be the national anthem...!!! :P

[tonyqtran700]

assassins creed taught me about the history of Leonardo Di Vinci, his creations, the sadness of ezios life and even some Italian. Who says videogames teach you nothing?

[LinkinParkCrazed95]

There's one part in this soundtrack that I absolutely love, it's just so pretty...

[SamehadanoBankai]

Best game ever.

[mattgieslerrocks]

Does anyone else find the music from this game soothing?

[AxjZOne]

> hears music one time

> next 10 visits play the "angry" theme

> wonders where the beautiful music is

> looks at notoriety being plain red

> rages

[pinklilies313]

I make Ezio visit Florence occasionally even when I don't need to, just to hear this song.

[urgrandmascar]

@pinklilies313 this song reminds me of doing those sweet assassin challenges when ur super high up like in the cathedral and u look down...gives me shivers every time with this song....like imagine doing that in real life...it freaks me out lol

[TheBambiniGiant]

*Walks down street in florence talking to camera*

"And here, is where the famous noble, Ezio Auditore lived. The house was sacked in 1475, the auditore family was accused and hung, spare from the Ezio, Claudia, and their mother Maria. I'm here to talk to their descendants, and find out more"

*And cut!* XD 

[Justforvisit]

Reminds me a bit at the Mass Effect 1 & 2 Galaxy Map Music. Aw man, I wish Jesper Kyd would have done that one too, it sounds soooo much like him.

[ociee117]

For some reason this music makes me want to count...that's right. It makes me want to count. It is the most fucked up compulsive urge I have ever felt to just COUNT SHIT! GAAHHH!! THIS SONG!

[arbiter814]

If anyone could loop that first part on that strings instrument, I'd be overjoyed.

[LaserHaze]

oh my god. The Mentalist ? :D

[liod27]

This song is perfect for a documentary

[danielegta]

Simply the best song of all time forever and ever

[19lemons93]

"Get down, stronzo!"

[evilbrickproduction]

assassins creed 1 : it was just an awsome game

assassins creed 2 : best story

assassins creed brotherhood: awsome story and best fight mechanism and a cool multiplayer

assassins creed revelations : cool new kill animations and nice slomo

[hasrock171]

@evilbrickproduction

you forgot Assassin's creed: blood lines (PSP)

[evilbrickproduction]

@hasrock171 blood lines doesnt have anithing to do with the story line and i dont think many people enjoy that game

[hasrock171]

@evilbrickproduction

yes, it's only about altair, some info in story line with/for revelations

[carloszarzuela93]

@evilbrickproduction it does have to do with it, blood lines tells u about the jewels that ezio had to find and so on, and how altair met maria

[prototype102010]

@evilbrickproduction No... ACI had the best combat, it was tight and stiff and no room for error in timing. The spin off's sucked. the online sucks as well. but you are right with ACI

[evilbrickproduction]

@prototype102010 i have to admit that AC1 had a good combat

[IhearaHunter117]

@evilbrickproduction Brotherhood was the best IMO.

[TITANICLUSITANIA]

@IhearaHunter117 I agree with @evilbrickproduction AC2 was by far the best.

[CaptainStefanLovric]

@evilbrickproduction I originally came up with that whole idea... and someone else gets credit for it... so fucking annoying

[evilbrickproduction]

@CaptainStefanLovric yeah keep dreaming if you didnt noticed i put up that comment way before you

[evilbrickproduction]

@CaptainStefanLovric no you did not and i am not a thief have you even proof?

[CaptainStefanLovric]

@evilbrickproduction Sorry I kind of lost it there... it's fine I don't have proof your the best... I'm the worst whatever

[evilbrickproduction]

@CaptainStefanLovric no you not the worst you had just the same idea but saw i alredy posted it

[CaptainStefanLovric]

@evilbrickproduction Sorry man... I haven't been the happiest person lately :(

[frankiebulldog09]

@evilbrickproduction AC3?....... Guess we will have to wait till October

[Bobsaget937]

How about Ubisoft remake an AC2 with all the new armors / the new fighting system and the weapons.... That would be such a great game

[rwjrock1]

@Bobsaget937 meh,i would rather wait a few years when the gaming industry has like,REALLY LIFE LIKE graphics,THEN it would be awsome,but now...meh

[TheAofSpades]

And AC2 is the only original game in my house. 'Nuff said!

[TheAofSpades]

Assassins creed 2 was the best possible advertising campaign for Italy

The game is a masterpiece, and I would expect AC3 to be nothing less.

[RayManzarekas]

The first minute of this song makes one digital world become part of our lives. And, as for all the loving memories, stays in our hearts long after the ending point of a journey.

[Dee2beegee]

At 2:52 I always hear Angels :) I just love the game <3

[ellinaspetrelis]

i heard this song when i came to firenze and saw the cathedrale Santa Maria del Fiore for the first time in real life.

[Sebazztion1994]

AC2 is an awesome game. I finished ac1 and played 2 right then, and i am completely impressed! Brotherhodd will be really awesoem!

[harry3725]

Brotherhood is a bettered version of AC II

[TheBL00DAssassin]

@harry3725 Brotherhood sucked (compared to AC II), you can only be in Rome and they removed some feature from AC II, AC II is the best

[GranfaloonIncarnate]

@harry3725 Personally, I love all the Assassin's Creed games on an equal level. I Never put one after the other...

[nextpkfr]

Ubisoft stop fucking around with incremental installments and make a proper sequel to this! We want AC3!

[vinuto9]

Need to remember something about this song for school. Sound of Venice

[Azertylolz]

Nostalgia ! One weird feeling

[BrummMinecraft]

Assassins creed II is art! It took so much time to create this game and the songs. So please buy it and don't download it illegally!

[maxbarrass1]

@BrummMinecraft Like most games, I will not download it Illegaly unless I rely need to. That is until I can afford to pay for the full retail. But if anyone knows me, I will have Assassin's Creed on day one so that I do not miss out on such a grate opertunity to visit places that have been destroyed by the passing of time.

[MegaNiggy123]

This is the wonderful music ever:*



[DJTimTurner]

fuck brotherhood, fuck revelations. Assassin's creed 2: Definitely the BEST GAME OF THE WORLD

[9999necron]

Revelations & Brotherhood have nothing on Assassins Creed II.

[An2quamaraN]

This brings so many memories...this game just left a mark in my head...like no other ever did

[ARONEK128J]

GOOOOOOOOOOOD

[residentevilfreakk55]

I go to florida every year and I will walk in the town square by myself and I picture this music as I walk around, it is so peaceful :)

[rwjrock1]

@residentevilfreakk55 you mean florence?

[residentevilfreakk55]

@rwjrock1 no i mean florida, because the environments are similar and at night it is just so peaceful like in the game

[theeBTPgaming]

Jesper Kyd writes great music (:

[MrDarkTides]

One of the best pieces of gaming music ever created, truly amazing.

[gogettossj1000]

2:50 I have the chills ...

[randay92]

Everytime I hear a song from any of the Assassin's Creeds, it just makes me want to start up a brand new game and play through the story again. It's just sooo beautiful.

[beastoneeightyfour]

Rooftops chase theme is as good in my opinion

[Delmeus]

Best song in AC II by far ^^

[immaredpanda]

anyone else have a home in florence?

[MrDarkTides]

@immaredpanda I wish X

[FrazzleAndTheWolf]

Very nostalgia heavy.

[TheR9RO]

Super Castlevania IV fans?

[tugaxD23]

i fuckin LOVE this Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XLR8tor300]

i will pay a bajillion dollars to have my computer start up to the first 30 secs on this song. now I WILL HAVE AN ANIMUS OF MY OWN! -:D

[wkunzelman1]

@XLR8tor300 There's a way to do that you know.... Just download the song with youtube-converter or something... (Or do it legitimately if you feel guilty) and edit the song down to your wanted size using an audio editor or whatever works for you. Then, go to control panel and then the sounds folder or whatever determines the music/sounds to play for various things. Then upload this song as the "Start-Up" sound. Eureka! =D

[andrewusa14]

assassin creed 2 is the best assassin creed

[ShadowOfDelbi]

@andrewusa14

The games in my opinion are all in one. I can't pick one over the other because they all flow into such an awesome story.

[MarikBentusi]

@ShadowOfDelbi ACB felt like a ACR Beta to me feature-wise and most its story didn't really matter in the grand scheme of things (only the ending really). UbiSoft loves milking their franchise, and the poor devs really pulled all registers to make ACR interesting storywise and gameplaywise without really making any meaningful progress.

[CaptainStefanLovric]

@andrewusa14 NO DUUUUHH

[TheBL00DAssassin]

@andrewusa14 Yeah, not even Brotherhood and Revelations can beat it

[lionmancer9597]

20 people who disliked this are templars

[blacksupafly]

I was Ezio Auditore Da Firenze, a Florentine who Assassinated some booty. 

[LampreyPH]

The 20 people who disliked this came from cappadocia

[TheMCOURS]

Sleeping comes easy when listening to such beautiful music.

[Avioke]

I have been looking for this song for a long time. I stop to listen to it every time I hear it. Turn up the volume really loud. Particularly, at 2:50. So beautiful. I went around the house singing it for a while.

I'll tell you all now, the AC2 soundtrack perfectly fits Italy.

[tyrantastorga8]

The first minute of the song reminds me of Silent Hill 2's ''Pianissimo Epilogue''. Awesome song!

[customphoenixwings]

ASSASSINOO !

[gehirnfastnacht]

the last 1:30 minutes; i love it!!!!!

[Ioini]

After playing all the Creed games, I can say that AC1 and AC2 are still the best.

[arsenal2696]

I remember when I started ACII after beating AC1.. I remember the first minutes of ACII with this music 0:00 - 0:55 when Ezio raced his friend in climbing that building.

after that i felt that this game is going to be a legendary and I was right.

And whenever I hear this part, I feel that feeling which is impossible to describe !

Never enjoyed a series the way I did with AC (Especially ACII)

[TheJackDie]

@arsenal2696 It was his brother OMG! :D

[arsenal2696]

@TheJackDie LOL .. i remember that this guy (his brother) was executed with his father and 2nd brother in that creepy day. but at first i didn't notice that lol. he doesn't look like Ezio.

[llREBll]

Perfect tranquility! This song was the reason i fell in love with AC2! Just so... immersive, its behond description. I honestly have never felt so connected with a game. AC2 is still my favourite of the lot and always will be! they just dont touch the soul like AC2 does, anymore.

[kagome1ify]

Qutoe "yOU KNOW UR A REDNECK" Qutoe changed "You know when your in Florence,home, when you start running across roof tops feeling the familer senstion and loveing to climb and run.

[soku47]

Imagine if Jesper Kyd, Martin O' Donnell (Halo) and Amon Tobin (Splinter Cell) all made a soundtrack together....

[oleT123]

@soku47 or the guy from skyrim

[SCUDGEj0ckey]

the nostalgia...it...it burns. i miss this game. such a beautiful song.

[theeBTPgaming]

@SCUDGEj0ckey then play it haha. thats what i do, its an amazing game (:

[SCUDGEj0ckey]

@theeBTPgaming haha don't got much time man

[gtasa2004]

@SCUDGEj0ckey I don't really get how you could be nostalgic over a game released just over 2 years ago...

[1214blade]

@gtasa2004 In the same way that I can be nostalgic for the memories of my daughter when she was two but she is now four. Perhaps looking up the definition of nostalgia would help you understand how. Just remember, before you go and make an ass out of yourself on the internet, at least make sure it isn't the best song, from the best game, in the best game series that Ubisoft (and arguably mankind) has ever made.

[gtasa2004]

@1214blade I'm just saying, I don't get nostalgic over new-ish games.

[SCUDGEj0ckey]

@gtasa2004 Perhaps you should have a heart and not be so petulant man. Nostalgia literally means going back and experiencing something that isn't the same anymore; that feeling you get when you miss it. Never again will i be that sophomore in high school sitting in my dark room setting the ambiance to play this game. When you get that feeling, it's a pretty awful one.

[gtasa2004]

@SCUDGEj0ckey Okay, but still. I'm just saying.

[MILKYPISTOL]

this tune is so sexy! :)

[TiradoTV]

I remember playing Assassins Creed 2 and I was in Florence and i would hear this song i felt like man i don't know how to say it but i miss that song in the games it was one of the great song i have heard i think that's why i still love Assassins Creed especially the second one all Assassins Creeds are great the story line and everything greatest games of all time to me.

[punkx52]

1:28-2:05

It's so sad. Like when your in florence, his family was killed their, the city want him dead, he had to flee the city.. He's pretty much forgotten.

[DmonkeyD1994]

i recognize all of these

they are so great

[ummiehummie]

Brings back old times :)

[spaik007]

you are a fool if you do not realize that videogames are a new artform.

[AriochStarr]

You know your home's in Florence, when you start running across rooftops and assassinating 'Templars'

[TheGuardianofAzarath]

I love the piano chorus in this song, it really fits the mood of the city

[Sebazztion1994]

Assassin's Creed is on of the best game franchises ever created!

[Sebazztion1994]

I LOVE AC2! Best GAme ever!

[alexkvaskov]

The calm before the storm..

1:33 when Ezio sees the guards running for his father

[HyperDangerousThing]

EZIO DIES :'((

[LGDXJawsdakiller]

@HyperDangerousThing Well of course he was dead long before Desmond was even born lol

[tiagusdominicus]

Assassin's Creed no es solo un juego, es una obra de arte.

[v2iki]

Assassins Creed is the only game which i play to back away from reality, forgetting everything happening around me, my studies, other problems, it just takes me to another world which is soothing, i am from India but playing this game makes feel like i am in Italy running through the streets, jumping over roof tops and doing all types of crazy stuff, i just wish this series never ends, the games keep on coming and the story continues forever. I love this game by heart.

[largecouchpotato]

This game and soundtrack is a masterpiece without a doubt. Will be a game remembered for years and years.

[eagleofthefunk]

I'm gonna buy the game just so I can chill in Florence and jam to this :O

[MissInterpretCosplay]

fell in love with this theme when i heard it. i get excited everytime i go back to Florence in the game. xD

[TheAdryan02]

This song is peaceful and beautiful. Like if you agree.

[videocal69]

this game is better than all call of duty or battlefield.

[MatthewBoag12]

@videocal69 any game is better than cod

[evilmonkey3656]

I hate that damn Battlefield 3 advertisement sound!

[Sebazztion1994]

Thta soundtrack reminds me of Kingdom Hearts 2.

[Rawrschachie]

This song takes me back to a happy time, randomly hiding into the haystacks just to hear passersby's reactions, looking at the view of the city from way up on the buildings....Good times. Goooood times.

[LTRandomRetarded]

Best game of the AC series yet.

[MatthewBoag12]

@LTRandomRetarded i only wish it had online then it would be unbeatable

[Jonathan93x]

im a big AC fan my favorite game was AC2 but the only thing that sucks is the combat fighting Brotherhood and Revelations is better

[THELASTPICKLE37]

I PLAY REVALATIONS NOW AND ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO MY XBOX BROKE NOW I PLAY PS3 AND SOME OF THE SONGSON ACR MAKE ME THINK OF THIS GAME I NEED TO BUY THIS GAME AGAIN LOL

[pilifida23]

so damn right, the really best was AC2

[TheBiggamer64]

So far AC2 has been my favourite in the series. Its so good that it can really only be fully enjoyed once. Sad but true. Here's hoping Revelations will be enjoyable for me as well.

[AvieMetal]

I love this song so much. I visited Monteriggioni and San Gimignano listening to this and it was simply epic. I assure you it perfectly describes the vibe. I can only imagine how beautiful Florence and Italy were during Renaissance. Wrong era, fml. (lol)

Seriously, Assassin's Creed (II in particular) is my favorite game ever. It's so well done, everything is perfect, the soundtrack, the characters, the story, the mysteries, I can't help but wishing one day I'll work to one of them, too.

[BeautilufMusic]

@AvieMetal Dude, you just put everything I had on my mind into writing. Couldn't agree more with you. Just finished Revelations and I'm so longing to play AC2 again.

[AvieMetal]

@BeautilufMusic Same here. I'll never get tired of that game. I've played to it for the 2nd time last summer and finished it 100%. I don't usually do this, but that game fully deserved it.

[WaterWelon]

boy was i born in the wrong place and time

[SLASH6490]

I want be Ezio...And I'm a girl. Isn't that wierd?

[EllyCriminal]

Une musique qui ne saoule pas :D J'ADORE !

[MrNosaman]

best game ever thank you ubisoft for making the best seires game ever

[xXDigitalassnXx]

i used of played assassins creed 2 , but then i took a arrow to the knee

[RMCFutbol]

@xXDigitalassnXx i used to make "arrow to the knee"-jokes, but then i took a chick to the penis and got a real life you loser

[missterbean]

@RMCFutbol Watch out, we've got a badass over here

[CaptainStefanLovric]

@RMCFutbol Wow... you obviously don't have much of a life commenting here now do you? And HONESTLY some people are afraid to say it but I DON'T HAVE A LIFE, and guess what??? I DON'T CARE I LIKE MY LIFE!!!!! So go fuck your imaginary chick and stfu.

[xXDigitalassnXx]

ah , such good times with this game , too bad it does not have multiplayer like in brotherhod :\

[ClydeBread]

i love this soundtrack

[iLLanLeGiT]

It is because of this song, Jesper Kyd made the harp the greatest instrument of all time

[vdubb20]

0:58 makes me fucking sad.

[vdubb20]

I must say, I have never connected with a video game character the way I have with Ezio. Corny I know. But, I actually felt like he was real. Never happened before. I remember playing this and running on rooftops at night and this song was playing, I was standing on the roof of the Auditore home and I actually felt sad. I thought I was losing it.

[brandonlconnor]

@vdubb20 Same. Now I feel like running wild on rooftops outside. I did a few times for a little while with the iPod and 72 tracks playing in my ear :). I got 9 houses down then ran back as fast as I could, without shoes because ezio usually doesn't wear shoes hehe! Love it so much, best game series in the world, I hope there is now another addition to revelations, I haven't played it yet, but will in about 3 days and should be clocking at 8 hours a day :) Time for ubi to focus on desmond now.

[iheartbeauty95]

@vdubb20 this game is awesome. and i love it! I'm such a nerd but i totally agree with you!
