Bastion Soundtrack LIVE: Build That Wall -- Setting Sail, Coming Home

[uBerard]

If you don't think these songs mean anything, or you don't quite understand "why", I really recommend purchasing a copy of Bastion for yourself and experiencing the adventure. There are just some things in life you have to treat yourself to: Bastion is one of them.

[Savert98]

I really wanna know the story behind these songs...

[Influx27]

"and we didn't mess up" - the DEFINITION of a musician (lol, I'm speaking from experience)!

[NobitaPaul]

anyway, could u give me the chord please.. (i love to play it but it's hard to get the original chord >.<)

[NobitaPaul]

what the heck is 9 haters thinking???

[ktzero117]

lol i was thinking what godly quality...until i realised they are actually the originators.

"i would have you right here on this desk until you beg for mercy twice."

[Shreeder]

Chills.

[robot6644]

hey can this song be played on bass?

[progressevol]

3:00 eargasm starts

[SteelironMetal]

Can't stop listening to this song. It's sounds so great, what a fantastic soundtrack to the fantastic game!

[letsclimbhigher]

When I first heard Darren's voice joining in I thought "Uh oh, Ashley alone was going so perfect, this can only be about to go downhill", but instead it got better! The counterpoint between the two is fantastic. I bought the album but was sad to find his version wasn't on it. BOTH you two are fantastic! Where's your guy's website I can't find it. Grr

[haxnerfplz]

@letsclimbhigher what? listen to the "home sweet home" bastion song, its just that song. also darren is the singer for all the Zulf parts.

[EGRJ]

@letsclimbhigher It'd be nice to have the lyrics too.

HINT HINT.

[Solufain]

There 9 Scumbag who dislike this video.

[insilqq]

I lava you guys so much T_T

[insilqq]

Y U SO GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD

[Noochint]

FANTASTIC! This entire soundtrack was unbelievable (and not much impresses me these days).

[NotSureMovies]

I get the chills every time they start singing together

[ThatGuyThatUdontKnow]

that it, im buying a 12 string

[MrPhysioz]

Could you give your tabs? I looked up some online, but they don't sound as good as yours

[ferrumcivis]

My one gripe is they totally could have put the mic closer to them.

[SkyCaptainErebus]

Absolutely sublime.

[MikeinSanPedro]

She's super hot, and voice only makes her that much more attractive.

[DanielRand]

She's as hot as that voice of hers. ;)

[yupi619]

they need to throw another project to the entire staff that produced the game, no way can they stop now . 

[DonPauliani]

i would pay ALL the money to watch this concert...

[jamesperson]

the 'change quality' button looking like the symbol from the game tripped me out for a second

[lueszu]

i bought the soundtrak just for this song... and the whole album was incredible!!!! so i bought the game too =)

[DenisRodriguezSantos]

@lueszu you made the inverse of me, this song and the others is so fuckin touchin

[rouchlas1]

Great song(actually the whole soundtrack is awesome)great game,unbelievable art direction!!

One of the best games i have ever played including big budget triple A titles. Everyone involved in the creation of this game deserves a praise.

[Melermometal]

I didn't know Darren Korb sang this, damn he's talented

[KhyrosFinalCut]

I was like, "wow, this girl REALLY sounds like Zia." And then I read the description. Oh. Well that would do it, then, wouldn't it?

[Stormson]

I just wanna say thanks to you guys. All this beauty makes life that much more bearable.

[MegaAsh]

I bought the soundtrack before i bought the game.

[TheLeoGriever]

The awkward moment when you try to sing a duet by yourself.............

[TheRedeemedX]

This is what Zulf and Zia do while the Kid is out adventuring.

[DoneForLulz]

8 people are still sore after the Calamity.

[branman852]

Can't listen without chills.

[TankTaur]

YouTube won't let me pause the video. I can see why.

[Uyuzefe]

I was stunned when I first heard Build That Wall in the game, I literally stopped playing and listened her singing and Setting Sail, Coming Home will always be one of my favorite songs of all time.

Supergiantgames showed that indie companies can do MUCH better soundtracks than big companies, I cannot wait to play another game of theirs(With Darren and Ashley in it I hope)

[nekromax7]

2448:7, that's one of the best ratios I've ever seen on Youtube.

[MATEUSZ1266]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Supergiant Games. I hope next game will be as awesome as Bastion. Greetings from Poland !

[chronoblivion]

[Arayvenn]

Bastion's soundtrack is under-appreciated. Great piece.

[t0wnkrier]

@Arayvenn I wouldn't say its under-appreciated. It won the VGA for best soundtrack and best song of the year. Can't really get higher praise.

[Arayvenn]

@t0wnkrier Not enough people know of it is what I mean.

[spearrbk]

@Arayvenn holy crap! arayvenn ur the reason i bought the game lol

[TheBlindSound]

I really want to learn this song. any tabs?

[Innez99]

is she not famous? i can't find a organized disc or something of her music. maybe i'm not looking hard enough

[Lyorias]

Shivers, man, I have them.

[BharmaArc]

got chills when darren started singing

[DistortedCookie]

@BharmaArc So did I

[magnusmastah]

I have to listen to this at least once a day. So great.

[Jermexmachina]

Darren, you are brilliant. Ashley, you are spectacular.

together you breach the boundaries of conventional music.

[shazanter]

*Manly Tears*

[morecowbell2413]

I've only listened to this, oh, I can't count how many times.

[AuronX1987]

I absolutely love the music in Bastion.. the game renders me speechless, even after having played through numerous times.

The story, the music... everything is phenomenal, thank you Supergiant games, Mr. Korb and Lady Barrett for creating such a gorgeous and beautiful game. This makes me proud to me a gamer.

If Supergiant games makes a sequel, I hope its as wonderful as its predecessor.

[italianangelus]

@AuronX1987 They've already said they won't make a number 2, but they do plan to continue the universe.

[AuronX1987]

@italianangelus Oh.... well now having thought about a sequel, I can say that I am relieved to hear about this. As much as I would like to see a sequel, sometimes its best not to transition into sequels, although I am excited at the prospect of a continuation of the universe. (Especially if any further music from Mr. Korb is included! :D)

Would you happen to have a link where the developers have stated they will not be making a sequel?

[TheRoflstranger]

Hell. Yes. Much love to both of you from my little corner of the internet.

[Kolgork]

I've just ended the game this night. Awsome game, awsome soundtrack and this live version of both songs are FUCKING AWSOME.

Thanks SuperGiant Studios for make this videogame, and thanks Darren Korb for make the best OST in 2011.

[SemiInfJest]

The accents Korb uses in this- I can't believe I'm saying this. This is better than the OST version. By far.

Fifth time I've listened to this, by the way.

[sado196]

These two songs left such an impact on me when I first heard them, that I had to buy the soundtrack to Bastion. After having listened to them over and over and soaking in the haunting beauty of these tunes, watching these artist just jam it out was so much cooler than I would have ever expected. Darren and Ashley, you have made music that I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank you.

[Crunchman2600]

He directed the shit out of that audio. Great job by both of them. Will remember this song for a long time.

[Pyremaniac]

Just lovely.

[davaipo100gram]

she sings live even better

rare talent.

[TheHunterGuild]

@newpjenkins It's actually a quote, not just a reference. :P



[newpjenkins]

@coven101 it refers to the narrator of the Bastion game.

[SWACSP]

wow that was freakin awesome! :D i'll never stop loving Bastion and never stop loving the songs <3 you guys are amazing

[hgdv429]

It is a beautiful song really. Even if you haven't even played the game. But if you have played the game, the meaning of the song really comes out to a new level.

[Moeca10]

I fucking love her voice

[his1nightmare]

Simply the best duet in gaming history. Considering you played through the entire game paying attention to the audio absolutely, you might even say this is the best credits theme ever.

[ProcrastinatingGuy]

pretty and talented!

[Gyounen]

Is it just me, or do they sound better live, than they did in the game?

..simply amazing! 

[GamertagO1]

Chills galore. And it was fitting this amazing music was in Bastion. A perfect storm of gameplay, music, and art style/visuals. This game will sit in my memory with the best of what the 360 has had to offer.

[bs000]

I got chills.

[AdmiralSkippy]

I can't believe how amazing this sounds live. Just like a recording.

[metaitachi]

Can anyone explain to me how that guitar achieves that awesome sound in game? Is it a twelve string or something? It cant just be a regular acoustic...

[XxKeybladeMasterxX]

@metaitachi I think he uses a dobro for some songs.

[marshmellowmix]

@metaitachi The guitar is a six string, but isn't in standard tuning. It is (at least what I used while learning it) in CGCFGC.

[jiahchia]

@marshmellowmix Thank you SO much! I'd been agonizing over a chord chart that'd been posted somewhere, but as soon as I retuned my guitar it was cake figuring the rest of it out. You're a life-saver.

[jiahchia]

@metaitachi From the sounds of it, here he's playing a 12-string but the original recording is definitely on a 6-string in a Csus4 open tuning :>

[metaitachi]

Best credits ever just because of this song.

[Insertcoinstudios]

I imagine Rucks, Zia, Zulf, and the Kid, all gathered around a fire late at night. The Bastion sailing off to wherever they wished to go next, to The Motherland. Zia grabs her guitar, and plays her soul out, with Zulf soon to join in, as they all watch the untouched stars.

[kingx101]

True story: I hit the like button before they started.

[unknownandunnamed]

Just finished Bastion after buying it during the Steam sale. Oh my god the soundtrack was amazing. Fan-fucking-tastic job SG Games.

[Stormson]

Ashley sings like there's no tomorrow. It's heart-wrenching and wonderful to hear.

[marmadukejones]

I've seen a lot of indie bands in the last year and this pisses on nearly all of them.

[MakostarLV]

am...is it possible to find chords for this song?

[Bundalings]

I get chills. That's weird for me.

[seifer93]

This song was so impactful when I played the game. It made me want to actually buy the soundtrack. This deserved soundtrack of the year.

[CallMeDizzzy]

Oh, I have a request. Let's have a live version of The Pantheon next!

[GeoMarineUK]

I really enjoyed this whilst loving the game. It's not often that I notice or care about the backing music in a video game. This one however, I noticed. :D

[TheHaddy95]

Love the song, love the game

[sublime90]

this was very awesome. the 2 biggest moments in the game happen when these songs are being played. love it.

[sanichimaru013]

This is good! I still need to play Bastion though.

[himselfe]

Song kicks in towards the second half, pity the game is boring.

[AdamDerps]

@himselfe

>game is boring

Kill yourself.

[seifer93]

@himselfe If you say so...

[dosadi420]

For some reason this tune makes me think of Firefly

[Completesatori]

@dosadi420 Agreed! The strong country guitar is what triggers it I think, and it's a great song for Mal and Inara now that you bring it up!

[OnoxRayderZ]

Absolutely amazing! Thank you for this job on Bastion Original Soundtrack. And thank you very much for this unique videogame: Bastion!

[kramlover07]

You sound amazing. And I love seeing my friends being successful. Keep doing great work you two!!

[ECMex86]

This sounds so good!

[CielBlanche]

kid just jams for a while

[xSpacey]

@CielBlanche well done.. You just won the "best comment I've ever seen" award.

[coven101]

@xSpacey What does it mean? kid just jams for a while?

[xSpacey]

@coven101 Have you never played bastion or do you not understand the term "jams"?

[coven101]

@xSpacey I havent played bastion yet, and yes i understand what jams means. I was enquiring as to why it had so many thumbs up. hope that answers your question.

[Completesatori]

@coven101 It's an altered version of a quote from the very beginning of the game. Play it and you'll see :)

[goldkid2]

@coven101 in bastion rucks narrates what you do in the game and the main character is called the kid so he will usually start off by saying the kid does *insert action here* so he was making a reference by saying "kid just jams for a while"

[welldonefromhereon]

@CielBlanche :D

Bravo!

[iceveiled]

Nice medley of both songs. Great voices both of them. Such a brilliant soundtrack. Gives me the chills every time I listen.

[knutaf0]

OK, thanks, now I'm freezing from all the chills I just got.

[TheNoid1]

One of the best games of 2011, no question. Love this,

[OnixFilms]

I rest my case for not reading the entire title. I MAY NOW BATHE IN BLISS.

[OnixFilms]

No autotune, no editing, no bullshit. PURE UNDILUTED AWESOMENESS. If you do this but for "Coming Home" I'd be able to die happily!

[xSagez]

The song at the end of the game was just too epic (duet).

[LotusTyger]

I was really losing hope for the music in video games. Until this game came along. Thank you SuperGiantGames.

[callofgears91]

I fucking loved the soundtrack

I fucking loved the artistic design

I fucking loved this game

[MrRadonski]

I like that video so much, I wish I could double-like it! Then love it.

[ENBlomquist]

This is how musicians make love.

[EthanA7X31]

The girl is pretty hot and wonderful voice.

[Kazeumi]

WOW....this is absolutely wonderful. While I knew someone performed it in game its different than seeing it performed live but still keep the same poignant sound. Thank you  and great work guys

[babatundeakinjo8]

hi love this was game of the year for me loveyou aboutt thei fns

[Grimbear13]

Wow love the songs love that you can just DO it. Natural talent is the best!

[iamtheNoNamer]

WOW, I was spamming the like button because I love these songs :]

[hungree7]

beast soundtrack, ''eh'' game.

[BeAsTm0aD]

It's weird how I didn't like the game at first, but once I started playing I got sucked into it with the narrator's voice, this beautiful music, and the emotionally charged imaginative atmosphere that came along with every single level of the game.

[FelipeFECTM]

Bastion was master's lesson for all those millionaire companies about how to make a game.

[KieranBamBieran]

That was lovely. Was less aware of the music when actually playing, but I've just sat and listened through twice now. Great game, made with passion.

[AwayToSlay]

awesome :D easily GOTY

[DCFerrisProductions]

Agh, this is so good.

[deathmetalshredify]

DRJ!

[nthnnnnnnnnn]

definitely good

[domer129]

tab would be very much appreciated, especially need the tuning. guitar sounds beautiful and it would be awesome to play it. incredible game with a soundtrack to match it.

[motivotion]

So so beautiful. Amazing soundtrack to an amazing game. Still gets me, even today.

[bullo247]

@roastedturkey hah

[kooderbob]

What a great song. I keep wanting to get Bastion but haven't just yet. Knowing that this song is in the game is making it just that much harder to hold out.

[agentmaine]

I think this was probably my favorite game of the year. Definitely close with portal 2, but this game was so good.

[searock]

Excellent game, excellent studio excellent soundtrack.

I bought the game due to Yahtzee's "review" which made it seem attractive. After completing it I bought the soundtrack and a copy for my friend. God is the game good..

Mad props to supergiant games!

[jeslimak]

Some tabs would be amazing, if that's at all possible.

[ironcarbide]

Oh man, goosebumps.

[ChainsawDemon]

EPIC!

[agentarsenic]

When I heard Zia singing this song in the game, I moved close to her and put the controller down and listened to the whole thing.

[csl316]

The Build That Wall moment was one of the coolest game moments for me last year.

[Taorgax]

@csl316 That it was. And then Zulf's song's moment came along and blew it completely out of the water. That's one of my favorite moments in all of gaming really

[jontyler87]

BOTH of you are super classy, talented musicians, and your contributions to Bastion helped cement it as a true work of art in my mind. Thank you for helping make Bastion GREAT!!

[CallMeDizzzy]

Setting Sail, Coming Home still sends shivers down my spine. Thank you both so much.

[bl4ckguard]

This just made my day.

[Runysss]

So much win!

[StubbornProgrammer]

I hear the soundtrack has earned some awards. Nice work.

[ChrisW1874]

Complements the game so, so well

[DarkBruce85]

just awesome. She has a great voice, and their duet is just amazing!

[WolfoxBR]

Amazing. Simply amazing. Thank you, Darren and Ashley, for that. (and Supergiant Games for making it possible)

[Dyskresiac]

@monstermax A lot of dudebros are pretty ticked off that Bastion took Soundtrack/Song awards over Portal 2 or Skyrim. You and I both know these two deserved it. But since they haven't played Bastion, they didn't want it to win. If they did, then they'd know why it won.

[OgreSamanosuke]

@Dyskresiac

Skyrim already won best soundtrack back when it deserved it, when it was Morrowind's soundtrack. (True story, they're the SAME SONGS)

Anyone that played Bastion knew it deserved the win over Portal 2 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

[Kujakuseki01]

@Dyskresiac It's the VGAs. They don't matter anyway. A marketing show pretending to be an awards show just further damages and invalidates the gaming industry.

[TheGuitarDude92]

@Dyskresiac One of the only game soundtracks that gave me the chills. These two, Slingers Song and Brushers Patrol are the best

[Zeitgeist]

@Dyskresiac How odd, i really liked both Skyrim and Portal 2 but i dont remember their soundtracks being anything significant. It seems like soundtracks are something indie games are caring more about.

[Granloholmo]

Do you have the tabs to this?

Would really appreciate that.

[foo7803]

lyrics anyone??

[monstermax]

How could you possibly dislike this? I mean... seriously...

[GilbertColombia]

Sublime...

[axelpowa01]

best game soundtrack ever



[kinetix]

I hope no one I know sees this as I've been talking about Bastion all week lol... Best 5$ I've EVER spent, I've since purchased the OST and found to be as amazing as I thought it would.

[LyleSpruce]

Literally the performance of my dreams.
