  • Love this song some showed up when he was gonna return home. it fits to a long lost soul some just lounged after coming home to that it loved. finally, everythings normal. end of all the pain. Peacfuly. a end of a long war.

    its so much i can say, it would never ends.

    its the most beatiful song i ever heard ;')

  • i dont think im the only person that thinks they were born in the wrong time period :)

  • OMG I recently played Red Dead for the first time and when I heard this song I just...god I don't even know what to say. The song is awesome, the game is awesome.

  • Also, 2 people don't like pure amazingness.

  • This song alone made Red Dead Redemption one of my favourite games. It's just used so well in the context. John looks off into the horizon as he thinks about his wife and child kept prisoner by the mysterious government. Will he make it home or will he fade away in a place unfamiliar to him and never get to see his sons smile again. <3

  • It was raining, I was going a long way and in the darkness this song saddened and comforted me to the point of tears.

  • Is he saying "Aching chest and blurry sight" or "Aching just to blow aside"?

    Love this song, I could play it over and over, it's hypnotising.

  • *but I gotta give it to smee

  • The way this fits the setting. Sun rises,on a steady pace on my horse,the water gleaming,John marston doesn't know who side he's on,bad egg,or a good noodle,as working for the marshals,then becoming dishonored and infamous.saving so many live,and ending other people's lives,civilians or criminals. Wind blows. He's lost in this cruel world. But I gotta hove to smee,he did better than me.

  • Jesus ,this song feels right.

  • I never felt felt

  • I feel that I am not the only one who came look this song up after riding through Mexico. This top comment is way better than the other video, which spoiled the fucking ending.

    What a great comment Smee. Great game moment.

  • I have to agree with Smee07.I've had 100% on this game for awhile now. I've moved on and this one song still gives me goosebumps.....Thank you, Rockstar, and you know who you are.

  • this is up there with sympathy for the devil in black ops

  • When you enter Mexico and Far Away is playing this Feeling is so awesome <3 I loved it.

  • @smee07

    It was epic, to be sure, but it's a game, dude. Go out and get your dick wet or something.

  • @NothingIsFact and films are films. Art is art, it touches people. You wanna take yr small mind outside and teach it some manners, son.x

  • Rockstar, you really pulled off one of the best gaming moments i've ever experienced. Kudos!

  • The mountains glowing pink behind me as I rode into the sunset, starting a new life, with home, so far, far away.

    Best part of any game I've ever played, utterly beautiful and magical. Thank you Rockstar

  • I just hear this song an half hour ago and I'm extremely fascinated and enchanted by this piece. I saw all the videos about this song in this game that I doesn't know and I saw all the wonderful comments and now I think I really should buy this game...

  • @MusicianSmile You really should!

  • I cried when this song came on. Absolute genius Rockstar. :)

  • This game is truly a masterpiece, Well Done Rockstar !

  • aching chest and blurry sight...

  • seriously the absolute best game made..im a vet ove first and third person shooters.red dead 1 was a hack and this was fuckin amazing...

  • so yeah i pretty much love this game

  • i will never forget the firt time i herd this song in the game with the sunseting over the mecon river

  • It was just a sunny day when this came on but I just got the feeling that he was stepping into this strange country, and he was all alone. Amazing.

  • Everyone had such an epic moment when this happened. It was night, raining and storm when I came here :(.

  • @eribani same, man. I arrived just as a storm was passing and it blew me away. never felt so isolated playing a game in my life.

  • One of the thing that I REALLY don't like about this game is the animals.. donät you guys also think that they're away to agressive?

    I mean, you're watching the sunset and BAM a cougar or a bear attacks you.

  • when i first heard this song as i got off the raft it was stormy and howling gail. you feel so alone and yet so free having made it to mexico and rockstar reward you with a song to guide you through the desert. Never before in a game have i enjoyed just travelling to a destination but somehow i slowed down and just immersed myself in the game. life feels so far away...

  • there are very few games that comes so close to our heart as RDR...we are proud to be gamers and i am proud to be your fan Rockstar

  • usually i haul ass around the wilderness. only stopping to kill wolves trying to kill an the such. so when i actually fought to get INTO mexico with a drunk guy who always seems to mess things up and then when i didnt have the horse i had had through out the entire game i was a little bit upset. but then this song started playing and i couldnt help but slow my pace so the hooves matched the guitar and so the music hovered over the now still mexican night. it was a majestic thing just then.

  • love this song and part of the game, moments like this is when you really feel blessed to be born on this planet. especially when we see our nearby star sink into our vast and deep oceans.. we have a great home and it's a shame we're litterally throwing it away

  • man, i always screwed up on way another in the oments when songs like these were playing in rdr.

    i slipped into a river with this one and never heard it's end :(

  • This is one of those moments where a video game becomes something more. As I rode to Chuparosa, I thought about all that had led up to that point. All the thieving, killing, and lawlessness that outlined the West. And I wondered if Marston would ever redeem himself from all the sins he'd committed, and I realized the tragic irony that he would have to go farther away from home to get there.

  • the first time i played this game, the sun had just set in the game and when the song came on, it was a clear night and it just a feeling of "this game just keeps getting more and more epic, doesn't it?!"

  • Comment removed

  • The moment this song came on, I immediately slowed my Kentucky Saddler to an eased pace so that I could actually pretend I was there slowly galloping through the wild west. I WAS John Marston.  Great Game!

  • this made me cry

  • This song and the one that plays when you go to see his family are perfect for the situations in the game.

  • i've reached reached mexico today during twilight... one of the perfect game moments of all!

  • just about the best song to listing to when on a long ride to mexico in the sunset

  • I'll use my "dead eye" to shoot those who dislike this song.

  • this song rocks and so dose the game!!

  • when I first entered mexico in this game, `this song played and it just suited the atmosphere, and what's more, it was playing during nightime in the game, suiting the atmosphere even more! Rockstar games=best video game developpers of all time.

  • The best part was the sun rising above the rocks as I was chasing down a Hungarian Half-Breed. It was beautiful, and honestly moved me to tears.

  • When I entered mexico for the first tie I was like Holy hell this is AWESOME! Beautfiul song.

  • i love this song it kinda makes me want to go and be an outlaw on the run lol

  • oh my gosh. genius game pacing and production. very rarely have i experienced anything like this. freedom fighters in the sewers and possibly the first time i heard blow me away in halo 2 are contenders.

    but this is extra special due to the unique nature of it and how intensely unexpected it was.

  • I was absorbing this amazing moment in the game when my horse fell of a cliff and we died........no second chance at playing that moment again...........ERROR!

  • Hey, someone cliked "don't like"...

    Probably just a mistake.

  • MY fave game to date.Id like a motorbike game that goes round the world like the long way round with ewen mcgregor and charlie borman.Thatd be epic.

  • Pretty much this is the best one right here.

  • Was raining crossing the river, but it faded as I rode uphill into the rising sun. Epic. Worthy of a game ending cutscene really.

  • Arguably the best Rockstar game made to date. My Ranks

    1. GTA: VC 2. Red Dead Redemption 3. GTA: SA 4. GTA IV 5. Midnight Club 3

  • @jdrandall38 good order.

  • I loved this part becuase I was ridding into the sunset and I was like holy crap this is epic.

  • @idk2say I concur!! I also felt I was part of something bigger myself! Really good

  • @CircusNormal

    You stole the words out of my mouth!

  • I wish times were like this time period once again, I play this game and I actually get lost in it. Great game, at first I hated it. I will not lie, but once I got in to it I got hooked on it. Great moment in the game and I agree with you all, when that song hit when you cross in to mexico, it captures you, almost like a movie. Great job Rock Star, Great job.

  • Euphoric. 

  • One of the songs that defined a moment in gaming history

  • I think the moment this song came on will rank top on my list of all time gaming moments. The sun was setting, the wind blowing. Storm clouds drifted on the horizon as a dark portent of things to come. Here I was, riding alone through a desolate wilderness in a far off land; one man facing the cruel whims of his own fate, wondering if he'd ever see home again. Rockstar, I applaud you.

  • @Smee07 damn that was nicely put.

  • @Smee07 your comment is badass man... exactly how i feel about it too.

  • @Smee07 I was completely blown away, I too can't congratulate Rockstar enough for this.

  • @Smee07 I was super baked when i got to this point in the game...amazing

  • @Smee07 nah just shut the **** up

  • @Smee07

    Lucky, I due to some weird glitch this song never played for me in game. :(

  • @Smee07 watch ur last comment

  • Great moment in the game, perfect song.

  • i just had a dream to this song 

  • ther's no feeling like the first time you hear this song in the game, not here, not any were else.

  • @vogosvagen yeaah man!! is a magic moment!!

  • Once this song played I just ran free, it relaxed me, It was a cool coincidence when the train was next to me when the song says "Step infront of a runaway train" It was so sick.

  • hey sumone plz answer,does this song only play once in the game when ur going into mexico or does it play again later in the game??does it play only once or again aand again later??plz answer!!im asking cuz it played once when i entered mexico but never again after it finished,is my game defected??

  • @gobind888 iy only plays when you go into mexico mate your games fine

  • this song made the game even more awsome just when your riding in mexico and this song played it was like magic it fit so perfect in the scenery

  • it was just epic when I was in mexico listening to this song in the moonlight, riding my horse, epic moment.

  • isnt this song buy nickelback there awsome

  • @trotterontour no -_- lol

  • @trotterontour Wow..

  • @trotterontour lol are u kidding me this sounds nothing like nickelback

  • It's all about Context.

    and brilliance

    and genious

    +3

  • I loved when you had just come to a new and unknown territory, and then this epic tune have you chills! Perfect moment...

    And a perfect song!

  • what is this amazingly chill song made by

  • I've been a game for a very very long time (about 20 years) and from time to time people ask me why I play video games... Moments like the one I had in this game (when you first arrive in mexico) are for me perfect examples that these are far more then just "games"... At the very least... A great way to tell a story and to teleport a person to another world... I liked this game from the first time I loaded the CD but God knows I wasn't expecting the subtlety of the scene... Great song and game!

  • @Broax Shit! you have been a game for 20 years?..........CLASSIC

  • @the23enigma133 hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha glad someone else laughed as hard as i did when i saw that

  • when this song kicked in it created an Epic moment in the game

  • When i first heard this I thought it was a glitch since the rest of the music is all instrumental and very subtle.

    Love it!!

  • I thought it was the coolest thing when this song started playing. the timing was perfect, once i made it to Irish's place it faded out.  Thumbs up!

  • this is the best song ever on the game it made it like a movie o they should mack it into a film

  • This part was epic when i first started. I remember this part and think about it alot.....

    What made it like a movie for me was when this song started playing, A thunderstorm began that almost replicates what john was feeling..... just 1 of the 1000's of reason's why i love this game.

  • The way I interpret this song is it is John's melancholy reflection on what life in the Wild West use to be like and how that way of life is slowly dying out as civilization develops in the West and how he aches to get one last taste of that before he has to leave it all behind. However John also wants a normal life and in his thoughts he knows that that life with his family is Far Away from where he currently is and so he presses on into the last frontier of the Wild West to confront it.

  • @jakascott21 when u play jack there is a mission where u the revenge on the fucking cop. ;)

  • may john marston rest in peace....and jack get his revenge on those federal sons of bitches

  • Might very well be the most atmospheric touching scene EVER in a videogame. I remember surviving that hellish boat trip across the Rio Grande and just being happy I survived.

    Then I rode into Mexico and that song hit.

    It was almost surreal, it was that perfect.

    Every other company would have taken a concept like RDR and made just another open world videogame. Rockstar made it an experience you'll never forget....

  • amazing moment to reiterate what evryone else has said, made even more awesome for me because there was a sunrise while it played.

  • @bboy41290 Same here.

  • I have to agree whith everyone else. Amazing gaming moment....just blew me away.

  • uhhh i don't remember this ever playing when going into mexico

  • my god when i played this it sent chills up down my spine. screw all this halo reach shit THIS IS GAME OF THE YEAR

  • guitar lesson please

  • This was easily the best moment in the game. It just gave you this certain feeling of the wild west and you really did feel like you were there.... I think I can safely say that I never experienced any greater moment in any other game... and let me tell you, I've played a lot of games. Amazing scenery they created.

  • Easily the best of the game

  • Amazing!

    I actually paused the game too make sure I did not have my TV sound on still under my gameplay. It was raining, sun going down, and I simply trotted up the hills in Mexico ever so slowly.

    Felt like I was a star in a movie. I have never, ever, had a greater moment in a video game.

  • when i entered mexico it was sunset, everything peacefull, quiet, and me riding my horse.

    Epic moment

  • I knew this game was amazing when I rode into mexico on my horse and this played. The most epic moment I ever had :)

  • this part happened to me at sunset and i was just riding on top of a huge cliff with a view of the sun setting and like all of mexico below me. It was fucking insane

  • the sun was going down when i heard this song in the game very cool and unexpected

  • when I entered Mexico it was a clear night, the stars were shining and the moon was rising above the hills, fucking beautiful, it was so peaceful, this was by far one of the most memorable moment in any video game I have ever played. 

  • when i first got there i whistled for my horse and got off the one you find. and it stopped. i loaded a safe way back so i could get this moment. and this time it was around 6pm so it was the most epic time of the day/night cycle. nothing matches the 6pm sun.

  • It was night time and pouring rain when I got to this part and it was totally bad ass. It was like something out of a Clint Eastwood movie.

  • This game is a masterpiece. They obviously put a lot of effort into it, and it obviously payed off. big time.

  • two words: Magic moment.

    when i heard this song ingame i thought I AM John Marston. Awesome.

  • I got creeped out to hear music with ACTUAL LYRICS in this game for the 2 days i played it lol

  • Amazing moment! Well done ROCK STAR

  • @UltimatePineapple

    the same exact thing happened to me. i think the thunderstorm added to the epicness that this game is

  • This literally sent chills down my spine when I heard this. One of the best moments I've ever had with any video game.

    Game of the year? I think so.

  • what a fucking good song! really good! nice sound. xD

  • this song didn't play for me when I first entered mexico. but its an awesome song.

  • I rode in to the sun set and stopped to the edge of a cliff. I just stood there and watched to the sun set. My jaws dropped

  • I don't like...I love.

  • one of the coolest moments in any game i played, when this song started playing when i entered mexico

  • @robinjbr

    i absolutly agree with you! i`ve never had such a emotional moment like this song part in a game. very deep!

    best game 2010!!!

  • @robinjbr I remeber when at the end ogf the game it was raining during the fight. If you beat the game you will undrstand how well that fit the game.

  • @robinjbr

    idd....

    gave me goose bumps and made me feel connected to the game and john...

  • @robinjbr I am 100% with you bro!!

    It seems people have had different experiences with this one whilst playing. Some none at all.

    Mine was also as I entered Mexico, was with a sunset which made the rocks shimmer red, then, this song just walked along side my horse and I as we followed the path at an appropiate cinematic pace!

    Awesome!

    Best gaming experience bar none!!

  • @robinjbr I played the game again. If you enter Mexico at dawn break, it's awesome times three!

  • im glad none of the storyline was spoilt for me first steps in mexico and the ending left me in awe wanting more, then ofcourse the "remeber my family" side quest brought solid closure to the game. LOVE the song love the game

  • I love how this song gives you that feeling of "I wonder what out there". This has to be one of the most realistic and fun games I have ever played.

  • This is sweet

  • this song was kick ass for the part only bad thing is win i was lisening to it i got my ass kicked by a pack of wolves

  • @livelyroyalty haha, you made my day man. xD

  • @livelyroyalty

    hahah yeah always this fucking animals who always bite and hunting -.- without a horse, no survival chance

  • Comment removed

  • @livelyroyalty HAHAHAHAHAH .... lol sorry but thats funny shit.

  • @livelyroyalty lmao

  • this was wanna my fav parts of the game, im glad it didnt get spoiled for me cause it was a real treat, the end of the game was spoiled for me but i was still really upset when it happened, i dont wanna spoil it but i have to say that it was so sad as a video game if it were a movie it wouldnt have been half as sad as it was

  • @shiyboy4 agreed, this song was perfect, gave you an awesome feeling, sit ontop of a mountain or just walk on your horse. Ive had only 1 video game that did this, and it was this game. i had many more that made me sad at the end but this one gave the most inpact. i had only 2 games that showed the good guy dying, i cried when i got to the end. not like a wahhh but snuffles and crap. so fucking sad.

  • @shiyboy4 i agree and disagree i loved the ending its how it should of ended i think a western isint a western without something epic like that in my opinion

  • @iFOUNDsaddam yea i agree although sad and depressing its a twist, and thats really good its very original so yea i think that it was very good

  • what a beautiful tune !!

  • THANK YOU FOR THIS POST ! ! ! OMG ! I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS SONG ! i got into mexico and this song played ... it was an awesome horse ride into town .. after a wild boat ride with Irish, that song was perfect way to wind down to

  • i havent beat it yet but i read plot spoiler by accident .. so im just haven fun playing it

  • this game felt really quiet and peaceful when you go over to mexico and hear this song.

  • One of the best moments in the game hands down. One of those rare times where every single thing marries together at once and creates a perfect moment that comes from out of nowhere. This game might end up in the thin air with Deus Ex as one of the best games ever.

  • This was such a cool thing to do in this game. I don't think I've really heard music with lyrics in a video game, this was an awesome part.

  • Yeah, I screwed up and whistled for my horse as soon as I could, jumping off the horse the game provides in Mexico...Little did I know that getting off of the horse ends the song, so I never heard it...I feel cheated. I think the song would hold meaning for me if I experienced it the way I was supposed to...

  • @SuperAmanda420 epic fail you can always go back and play it .... stay sharp for the co op mode coming "soon"

  • @SuperAmanda420 The exact same thing happened to me... I never even knew about this moment until a friend told me =/ And my save is already overwritten after Lucky Love so I guess I'll have to start a new game if I ever want to experience this again

  • so epic entering mexico with this song and the sun is setting omg gives me goosebumps

  • It didnt even play this song with me and Im kind of glad because the singer is shocking! Worst...Singing...EVER! I just started hunting and doing good stuff.

  • @FeederGunsNRoses

    If you heard this doing gameplay you whould have loved it.The game made this song amazing.It was better for me because it was raining when it was playing.

  • @Pandasrockthethird I would go for what you said in reverse.

    The song made the game even more amazing.

    One of the greatest momments in a game I have experienced.

  • @Pandasrockthethird Yeah I guess it would have seemed better if it was playing.

  • @FeederGunsNRoses this coming from a GNR fan lol

  • @midusone Whats wrong with GNR? Oh yeah, I remember now, nothings wrong with them. I guess they are bad... I mean, they're only one of the most well known bands in the world! Before you come back with a sly remark, they're well known for being good.

  • @FeederGunsNRoses 1) I didn't write any of that. my friend was on my computer. 2) I don't care for GNR what so ever, and, your assertation that them being well known has some correlation to being good makes no sense.

  • love this song, i just got onto my horse and i didnt realise that that was playing untill i got to a cliff and so i did a sort of hero moment of my horse leaping on its two back legs with the sunset

  • @vashdennerada4 I think we both came to the same hill, i sat on the edge of the hill, took the sunset in and the music and enjoyed.

  • @DrZaious I think I know what hill you mean. It's really close to the point where you get off the ferry. I stood on that hill as well during sunset with this song it was awesome.
