Cave of the Past / The Place - Earthbound Music

[MrMusic0912]

Too much Earthbound...



[ThatLonelyTron13]

Fun Fact: Giygas loves the Beach Boys

[glottis5]

beach boys

[MegaG58tehfirst]

When kids games scared the shit out of you.

[shalpp]

DAAAAAYYY

DAAAAAAAAAAAAYY

DAAAAAAAAAAAAY

[Dragoonknight717]

Possibly the only game in the world that doesn't need creepypasta crap to make it completely f*cking disturbing and scary.

[mariomariofan1]

@Dragoonknight717 *cough pokemon cough*

[ninjamitsuki]

It kinds reminds me of two Trigun OST songs, Perfect Night and Bluesummers

[ChibiRaikou]

DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[MaXuaK21]

this is my lullaby :)

[CommanderMcMillan]

TEEHEE TEEHEE teehee teehee....

[Teefless]

prepare your anus

[Nintendorulez50567]

How does this relate to submerged castle in music? I doesn't sound simialer.

[NintendoGamerFGP]

its so creepyand it sounds a lot and i mean a LOT when i say it sounds like the submerged castle in pikmin 2... DAMN YOU WATERWRAITH

[vengence9331]

Much Creepier than Cavern of Winters lol

[XebastianX1]

Nice Morshu's performance in this track

[justinmo10]

Imagine hearing this in a foggy hallway room with a dark figure coming near you with a knife

[kingvideogames]

Extended version+loop+Reach for the stars=:)

Extended version+loop+Cave of the Past=*Shits*

[AJFedora]

Hey listen to deidre by the beachboys! Prepare to have your mind blown!

[AJFedora]

Liste

[minimoose925]

Im going to use this song as backround song for a homemade haunted house for holloween next year -:D

[melosebrainuhoh]

@minimoose925 You're going to create a lot of traumatized kids. I heartily approve.

This 'music' is fucking EVIL.

[CommanderMcMillan]

I listened to this while i slept, someone found it on my Mp3, now i have to go to therapy :c

[yusukeelric]

yep, this is a game for kids... and when I played it, it was an awesome experience... Later I din't have so great experiences playing a game until I played Metal Gear solid, or bioshock (even more late). Mindblowing games are the best genre. And this is the MOTHER of mindblowing games. You feel lot of emotions , Care, horror, nostalgia, fun, you laugh. The game even TALKS to you (in his own way) Not much games interacts so well with the player.I played it again, and it made me feel like a kid.

[ludwigish]

@yusukeelric

Was it intentional when you said 'MOTHER' of all mindblowing games , as in the name of the series technically being Mother?

[sonicdsfan1]

I try to picture this playing in Ravenholm in half life 2. I think my mind is officially f*cked. That place was creepy enough 0_0

[mumboman123]

this is not scarier then giygas' theme

[TakesMeAnHour]

How is it that I beat giygas in one try, yet every time I encounter starmen I die?

[CrypticKamek]

@TakesMeAnHour The final boss is easier than the rest of the area he's in :c I hate those final starmen...

BUT I LOVE THIS SONG.

[sumo066]

@TakesMeAnHour Lol I die to starmen too. I'm like ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I WAS RUNNING AWAY. Second time I ever died in that game. xD And I mean my entire party.

[freddylovejoy]

I feel like a complete idiot for never realizing this before.

The chorus at 0:15 is the same "melody" from the very beginning of Giygas' theme. You know, when you first get to him and the whole place shakes, before you fight Pokey.

[yoshihacks1]

and this is a game for kids ._. ....

[Firecelebi]

This is so creepy!!!!

[marioandluigi012345]

Featuring Giygas on lyrics.

[36256564874847848487]

Listening this in headphones is creepy.

[kochkochkoch]

Isn't this giygas' theme with a lower pitch?

[TeeKayFourTwoOnebeta]

I listened to this with headphones AND ENJOYED IT.

[CrypticKamek]

@TeeKayFourTwoOnebeta I always listen to headphones and this is one of my favourite songs from EB <3

Try listening with ONE headphone in. Even creepier xD

[TeeKayFourTwoOnebeta]

@CrypticKamek Unfortunately, I can't. All of my headphones are the full sets because I can't stand earbuds and their ilk. However, I am now downloading this so that I can listen to this with headphones all the time.

[CrypticKamek]

@TeeKayFourTwoOnebeta Ah. I usually use earbuds, but even back when I used full headsets I would usually still put one behind my ear just so I would be able to hear what's going on around me.

Downloading? From where? I want this on my iPod xP

[TeeKayFourTwoOnebeta]

@CrypticKamek 

[TeeKayFourTwoOnebeta]

@CrypticKamek Let's see if YouTube will let me comment on the video this time...

I left my explanation on your channel, check there.

[HydroMonsoon]

@TeeKayFourTwoOnebeta Yeah, it's EPIC with headphones.

[DarknessDragon451]

@HydroMonsoon yes it is :D

[sumo066]

@TeeKayFourTwoOnebeta All I hear is jiiiiiii jeeeeeeeeeeee jooooooooooooooooo or something like that. Then some echoes... so fucking awesome. I like the cave of the past (in the present) too.

[breloom657]

I think this song's awesome. Just because it's creepy doesn't mean it's bad, in fact, that's what makes it awesome.

[Nintendorulez50567]

It said in the pikipedia that Submerged castle would sound similar. It is not close!

[CrypticKamek]

I want to try sleeping while listening to this. See what kind of dreams I have. Anyone got a download link? I'll share my experiences here :3

[AnimalCrossingMega12]

Oh god....... Even with my headphones on and at such a low volume, it sounds creepy... I'll be at my therapist now...

[305Ronan]

Ow... My head hurt... I tried to listen with headphone with maximum volume... I dont know why, but i felt bad. Let me go see a doctor.

[icedude409]

I HATE THIS SONG! It's not Gygas himself it's the music! Gygas ain't creepy.

[CrypticKamek]

I LISTENED WITH HEADPHONES AND SURVIVED 8D

[LightHero03]

Bricks have been shat

[kingwalrus64]

Someone should look up Deirdre by The Beach Boys and compare the first 5 seconds to this entire song.

[CrypticKamek]

I want to learn to play this on the violin :P

[Jaleidoskope]

My favorite song from Earthbound.

[pokedude720]

sounds like submerged castle.

[joder96]

@pokedude720

Correction: Submerged Castle, sound like this....

[pokedude720]

@joder96 same thing

[onlycollect]

@joder96 there is a video on youtube which plays both themes together...spooky

[TheVixer9000]

Morshu is that you?

[MelodyYakushi]

I always come back to this video with more thoughts... Even though I NEVER played this game as a kid, it remonds me of something that happened as a child and I don't know what. Or maybe it reminds me of my child mind. I had issues, I think... Bu it sounds almost... Nostalgic... In a really creepy way...

[CrypticKamek]

Now listen to this with only one headphone in!

Random silent pauses!

Even freaking creepier!

There's a reason the Submerged Castle music is so similar, both are supposed to be nightmare fuel :3

(well maybe this one wasn't completely intended for nightmare fuel but it is!)

[sporecreatorperson]

OH MY GOD.

WOW.

JUST WOW.

HOLY FLOWER WHITE PIKS!

/caps off

Submerged Castle DOES sound a LOT like this!

WOW!

[LeVaughnX]

They need more K-A games...I mean look at Chrono Trigger! That game was K-A and it K-Aed (Kicked Ass)!

[xCookieKitx]

It also sounds like Pikmin music.

[KeiichiO]

Reminds me of the Shadow Temple.

[MarioHeadisAwesome]

So very creepy.



[RDMonkey2]

Im trippin' balls big time.

[AnonymousJustified]

LAMP OIL... ROPE... BOMBS... YOU WANT IT? MMMMMMM! MMM MMM MMM MMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMM! MMMMMM... MMMMMM... MMMMMMMMMMMM....... MMM M MM M!

[AdmiralStickney]

Hi I'm Billy Mays here with Earthbound! The most fucking Badass game ever!

[NessPeppyTails]

Submerged Castle from Pikmin 2 = Rated C version of this theme

[CrypticKamek]

@NessPeppyTails Rated C?

[NessPeppyTails]

@CrypticKamek Children.

[CrypticKamek]

@NessPeppyTails Oh, I see. Yeah it's a lot less creepy than THIS version xD

[NessPeppyTails]

@CrypticKamek Some say that this song's actually creepier than Giygas's theme!

[MrRage71]

This Song Is Creepyer Than Giygas

[ShadowDeathLighnting]

@skitty427 Chuggaas just being a pussy about it. The real scary thing was the beta game over. Not as scary as lavender town

[superpiano9943]

And this game is rated Kids to Adult? Wow

[ricardo15301]

@superpiano9943 as far as i heard back then games were not rated like that its can creep out any one and back then no one cared

[Triskitout]

...when does this play!?

[MajestikHawk]

@Triskitout It plays when all four main characters are taken back into the past through the phase distorter, its the room right before you fight that fucked up alien Giygas

[mamamario64ds]

Submerged castle?

[gamegod9000]

@mamamario64ds

Worse by a long shot, buddeh. Submerged castle is fun.

[CrypticKamek]

@gamegod9000 This place can be fun... when you aren't fighting final starmen...

Ahh, it's just the music that's fun for me xP

[gamegod9000]

@CrypticKamek

I'd RATHER fight Final Starman than fight literally anything else in this cave.

[CrypticKamek]

@gamegod9000 Not in conjunction with Ghosts of Starmen and Nuclear Power Robots :c That was literally every fight I had in the last third of the cave.

[gamegod9000]

@CrypticKamek

Oh, well of course. But apparently Final Starman and Mother 1 Last Starman are supposed to be mother queen bitches in difficulty. Nobody has ever recorded them fighting one, and posted it on Youtube. Fuck.

[kdreamland]

@CrypticKamek even when you are at level 99, Ghost starmen can use StarStorm and kill Paula off in one hit. He's a dick.

[sumo066]

@gamegod9000 I'd do the opposite. Those pink Starment pwnt me AND revived the ghost of starmen I killed off... LOL. (But I ran away miraculously with Ness alive)

I just kill the evil eye's asap with Freeze ... uh... I don't have the symbol. But the last Freeze paula gets. and I run away from the atomic bombs. Not worth my HP. xP

[ToastMaster623]

Pikmin 2 anybody?

[ShadowDeathLighnting]

Giygas may be the scariest thing nintendo made, but lavender town is scarier music.

[skitty427]

@ShadowDeathLighnting No, no, no. The scariest thing nintendo made is luigi's sprite on the save screen for luigi's mansion! Have you seen it?! God.... It's terrible..

[MrRob127]

@skitty427 Chugaaconroy.........

[skitty427]

@MrRob127 Sorry, couldn't help the reference...

[Thundledee]

sounds like submerged castle from pikmin 2

[smwExpert]

I listened to this song with super high def. headphones at midnight with the lights off

O_O

[MrArchangel7721]

I listened to this with headphones on

Now i have to go to therapy.

[marioandluigi012345]

@MrArchangel7721 It HUUUUUUURTS! D:

[drewdeth9]

Tried the headphones thing. Lasted 5 seconds.

[yoshihacks1]

to me the water wraith is more scaryer than the giygas idk why but hey i was like 5 when i played pikmin 2 and when i got to the submergd caste the music sounded so much like this one...and when i saw that water wrauth for the first time this is what i thought: sochldgs hldighdflih blxndlbgibh vfdxh ibhd xkjlbh ilb hil OH MAI GAWD XD.

[drewdeth9]

@yoshihacks1 Proper grammar please?

[yoshihacks1]

@drewdeth9 ok...

[MrDavianthule123]

@yoshihacks1 lol me too when i got pikmin 2 i was 8 and i was in the submerged castle and before i saw the water wraith i was like "Wtf is that a doughnut? *gets some pikmin*ok blue pikmin get that doughnut! *cut scene starts*What is tha... HOLY CRAP RUN PIKMIN! RUN FUUUUUUUU-

[Reta8866]

this and submerged castle from pkmin 2 is in my opinion the most scaryest music than nintendo made....

[LegendaryZeldaGirl]

@GreenTunicProduction

Yeah, it is the same music.

[GreenTunicProduction]

submerged castle from pikmin 2?

[qwert11]

i wonder what brian wilson would say if he heard this

[CrypticKamek]

This sounds even weirder when one ear of your headphones doesn't work. RANDOM SILENT PAUSES!

[MrArchangel7721]

Giygas laughing ?

[enetickk]

What was the point of this one room with this music, the cave that time forgot in the middle of a time confused area with strange creatures and dinosaurs.... and creepy moon things called orbs of ego o_O

[aquason11]

oh god i'm so scared what the fuck

[mattias1234]

A challenge to you! : Listen to this in the middle of the night with no lights on!

I DARE YOU, NO I DOUBLE DARE YOU!

[bijoukaiba]

@mattias1234 CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

It's 2 am where I live, and... WHOA OMG THE GROUND JUST SHOOK.

Sorry, I don't have time for a wittier comment. My mom wants me to go investigate, but I have to change out of my pajamas first. It's probably no big deal anyway...

[yoshihacks1]

@mattias1234 i did it not .A.GOOD.EXPERIENCE. D:

[MrRage71]

*hides under the table*

[MastrSonic]

Imagine listening to this theme with headphones with max volume and in the late hours at the night...

If your gonna do that, trust me, you'll get extremely paranoid...

[SsbPrime]

@MastrSonic I actually did that. Not a good idea.

[CrypticKamek]

@MastrSonic I don't want to break the remaining working ear of my headphones xP

[DementedStudios9007]

@MastrSonic Imma try it, but maybe not at full volume, I wanna be paranoid, not insane.

[supremesonicbrazil]

@MastrSonic trust me, I've seen worse things... O_O

[CrypticKamek]

This DOES sound a lot like the Submerged Castle background music in Pikmin 2. Except a lot more distorted and creepy. The Waterwraith didn't scare me half as much as Giygas did. -shudders-

[MyHumanLife]

I LOVE this track. It's so unsettling and haunting, which for an SNES game, ESPECIALLY one that tends to be more comical than serious, is an AMAZING feat. Just shows how great EarthBound really is.

[TheNinwii]

the high notes are kinda funnym but the low notes make them disturbing

[Tuchiee]

this song creeped me out, allways did and does still. brrrr :S

[vera881]

I challenge you: Turn off the lights and listen this.

[Chamillionare64]

Was just reading Earthbound Central and learned this has a sample from Deirdre - The Beach Boys. Pretty cool stuffs.

[Dragynn999]

Everytime when I listen to this song before I go to sleep, I have a weird dream about myself... I'am standing just in front of myself while the other "me" is staring at me with a freaking creepy look in its eyes.

[POPSDETECTIVE]

@Dragynn999 wow

[POPSDETECTIVE]

@Dragynn999 wow i have the same dream

[Tuchiee]

@Dragynn999

This song with creepy claus (search Scary Claus)

Its creepy :S i couldnt sleep (i tried in the dark....)

[agmendelssohn]

Ladies and gentlemen... the dark side of an acid trip.

[trevizo25]

isn't this the music some people get high off of?

[MasterLucario2000]

First time I heard this, all I could think was, "HOLY F*CK!"

Now, when I listen to it, I can only listen during the day or else I'll get super-paranoid.

...Also, is it just me, or are those three low notes almost... Pretty...? ...But then the high notes following it scare the crap out of me, lol.

[Lulzman69]

Listening this on my headphones, volume to the max.

I'm starting to sweat, here...

[evilnewwargod]

Every time I try to link to it I get an error, so just search for "earthbound central" and "beach boys"

DEEEEEEIIIIIIRRRRRRRDDDDDRRRRR­RRREEEEEEE

[SegaRising]

@evilnewwargod It can't be a coincedence. It sounds way too similar.

[TheKillertuur]

Giygas laughing ''TeeHeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee''

[kimflodin]

i live in Europe and i've always wanted to have EarthBound in Europe,when i heard this song, i'm happy it never got released in Europe

[qrrbrrbirbel12345678]

This isn't scary, it's just depressing.

[Aviarmew]

It's starting to sound like it's saying "dirt"

[GarryCookie]

Rated "E" for everyone.

[CRAIGGU4]

@GarryCookie Its rated K-A. Kids to adults.

[protomanhasballs]

@CRAIGGU4 And GarryCookie was telling a joke.

[CRAIGGU4]

@protomanhasballs I know, but... Yeah.

[chaoschao455]

@CRAIGGU4 No, its rated K-A for Kick Ass

[chaoschao455]

@GarryCookie Actually, rated "KA" for "Kick-ass"

[ridely700]

@chaoschao455 *too late!They have been eaten by the grues*

[chaoschao455]

@ridely700 FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[MrRob127]

@GarryCookie e for emotional trauma

[Garrador]

genius.

[ipantis]

This is so creepy, because today of all days, you can make youtube black instead of white.

[Phlexxon]

And this is for SNES. Tellin you man, tight.

[yayTENTACLES]

guhhh the anxiety this song gave me on the way to fight giygas...

this game is so amazing, but also horribly creepy at the same time. > A<

[timeparadox888]

@doorknob8774 You encounter the Waterwraith!

Ness attacks!

759827492043730275 of mortal damage to Ness!

GAME OVER

[wolfen150]

I actually find this quite calming, I could fall asleep to this.

[SuperMetaKnight100]

@wolfen150 me 2

[wolfen150]

@SuperMetaKnight100

Not sure why people find it so scary... Guess it's because it's right before the final battle? I dunno. Although I will admit it did start to put me in a less settled mood, good for warming you up for seeing the path of intestines and then giygas.

[Gorette66]

So short, yet so very profound.

Desolate.

Desperate.

The end too near,

Giygas to fear.

This is the stuff of nightmares.

[Warriorsfan0111111]

Hardest part of the game and the most suspenseful in my opinion.

[IAMDACA]

lol i heard this in earthbound when i had walk tru walls cheat and went right when i was in twoson(tru the forest)

thumbs up if it work

[bagettistudios]

Some claim that the sound is Giygas screaming as Pokey tries to put him inside the Devil's Machine...

I'm making this up. But what if?

[nefarioustoast]

@bagettistudios well considering pokey is just a fat neighbor who need a mech to fight, and the song plays just as you enter the cave, it's highly unlikely that Pokey put Giygas in the Devil Machine

BUT A GREAT THEORY OF THOSE DAMN SOUNDS

[breloom657]

sounds like the submerged castle from pikmin 2 :)

[watzup7856]

i just beat the game today and i usally dont like rpg games in fact this is the first rpg game ive beaten

[ImSpidey2]

0:09 - 0:13

I hear the song only with my left ear, then the right one. Then the left. Then the right. Then the left. Then it stops.

[justbrowsingbro]

Sucks the life out of you as you make your way to the final destination...

[Naglfar94]

aaaaah!!! this music is driving me nuts it`s creepy with the headphones on! i can`t believe i even went as far as to listen to this song with headphones on!! ah! is somone waching me right now aah!

[manof1000voices]

I read that you're supposed to hear bits of melody from "all you need is love" in here somewhere..

yeah, I don't hear it.

[purnipity]

@manof1000voices

It's the song that plays in this cave before you go to the past.

[lolwutizit]

@purnipity U mad? It plays after you do so, not before.

[Fear0912345]

this is the freakiest music I've ever heard

[Timsonourside]

@Fear0912345

What? Dungeon Man is a bit freakier still IMO.

But definitely freakier than the cliff that time forgot. (That one is a bit too simple to be that freaky.)

[jaymetorres1]

One of my favorite video game song ever!
