Santiago's Lament - Gears Of War 3 Music Video

[dadadada556]

i think on geatspedia it said doms dream takes place on eday when maria wakes dom up to spend time alone after taking here kids to her moms and the locust killed the kids.

[Cybergad1978]

I am blown away, the talent you bring and the professionalism of the production is just amazing, defo shared to Facebook, theres a lot of people out there who should hear your stuff. Keep up the awesome work, you've certainly found another fan here!

[MrGbear1222]

@ugh1134 they do that because epic is trying to make everyone who bought the game realize that war is bad and can tear families apart it happen to me so I could relate to it but that's what I think about it.

[xXTeLeKiNeTiCXx]

Thanks for the dedication at the end. To anyone who has lost a loved one. Means a lot, man. Keep up with the great music.

[ugh1134]

Why is it that this portrays Dom's struggle to find Maria than the games do? Gears had the potential to be fantastic, but, unfortunately it never reached that potential.

Love the song though.

[PowerJugs]

The intro has a hint of 'Don't Fear the Reaper' by Blue Oyster Cult. (Always good.)

This is a well made song. :)

[dylan112358]

seriosly dude, do you have 3 gears of war songs?

[wizzzjer]

Woooooow, Gav, this song is amazingly awesome! I've just found it and I regret I didn't hear it until today! *___* Keep your good work, dude, you're unbelievable!

[firespawn01]

Totally didn't cry man-tears due to this....

...

...

...

Okay, maybe one or two, but that's it!

[frederikfly]

you are a epic guy with an epic voice that makes epic music

[Douchiemcgigglestein]

In my opinion Dom has always been a better character than Marcus. Dom shows so much emotion throughout the trilogy and this song is a great example of that. Marcus is cool but he only really seems human in the 3rd  game

[FinalFantasyBlades]

*Droll* I NEED MORE MUSIC LIKE THIS NOW!

[BrutalDimmuBurger]

After finally playing Gears 3 and reaching a certain part in the story this song became even better. And it was pretty damn awesome to start with. :)

[TheHal9k]

so good

[DrWeardno]

I wanted to write something awesomely deep and great here, but I can't seem to really come up with anything.

Fact of the matter is: I love this character, I love his story, I love this song, and I love what you've done with the video for it. Damn near brings a tear to my eye man.

[nazizombie48]

doooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oo

[gojira12345678910]

Well, don't look at the suggested videos if you don't want Gears 3 spoiled.

[jaden2555]

This game is soo beast dude

[ChoskarChulian]

FINALLY posted my Video Response to this. :)

(It´s a Piano Cover)

[xxSnakexxS71]

How... sad this makes me want to try gears of war

[MicroSofty360]

@xxSnakexxS71 its all i play now a days ( till GTA5 comes) get it!

[sephirot133]

i must to listen this again, again and again.

[Speedyzach]

This could be more then a gaming music video man. Awesome song.

[swoophawk2]

You should make a song about My Little Pony: Friendship is magic

[AnnoyingFr0g]

you're my hero. Thank you so much for this awesome music.

[AnthonyDavis217]

Did anyone else cry when Dom turned into a chocolate train and rode his way into Candyland Mountain?

[kenanovic11]

Man I love your songs keep up the good work! Cant wait for the next one :D

[heiko207]

Will there be a Bonus Track Album on CD? All the Songs made after the first album should be on it so we can buy'em all in one :) KEEP ON DOING SONGS YOU'RE THE BEST!!! :D

[ColdTimez]

nice nice

[XxSnIpErSkiLLxX]

I love your soings :D

[pumpkinghead15]

@BennCarmine NO SPOILERS.

[miracleofsound]

Guys, seriously. I don't want to block anyone but I'm gonna have to if you ruin the story for others. NO SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS!

[arappx]

@miracleofsound **spoiler** Dom is as fuckings awesome as always in GoW3! ;p

[TheFirestalker]

This is not music, it's pure magic!

Keep it up man.

[TheJBoy90]

I think i've watched this song about 10 times, literally. Best song you've ever made, mate. Bravo.

[razzigyrl]

Eeeee!! ♥ My favorite song of yours, now with a video. Pure awesome has been made that much better. :D Thank you for sharing your awesomeness, your music always makes my day better.

[MrNightcrawler26]

Not only do you write great songs about the games we love, but they're technically and musically brilliant and sound like something an entire band made. Actually, your songs are much better than anything I hear on the radio. You really have got talent, and I find myself eagerly awaiting your next song everytime :)

[miracleofsound]

@MrNightcrawler26 Glad to hear it, thanks :)

[AdamsTeinz]

@miracleofsound Hi, have you ever thought about doing something about Assassin's Creed? I love your music and I'd love to listen to one of these.

[miracleofsound]

@AdamsTeinz Google 'Miracle Of Sound Brothers Of the Creed' :)

[AdamsTeinz]

@miracleofsound Thank you, how kind of you to find my comment under the waves of others and answer my question. Unheard of :-)

[miracleofsound]

@AdamsTeinz No probs :)

[SaurfangC]

@miracleofsound why did you take brothers of the creed of youtube, or can I just not find it, I liked that one D:

[Nuthriz]

Quite a quickfire you've been recently - and certainly in a positive, well-aimed way.

[MegaTomTom88]

You're work is amazing, you've made everything fit in perfect. And in my opinion you would of made such a better trailer. 10/10 Bro! Keep this up!

[KYTOZEN]

Great song and I liked the dedication at the end.

[roxasthekeyoffate65]

Man, you're a genius. I hope your name becomes known, because if I was a game developer, I know exactly who I'd hire to do the song for every commercial and trailer for every game I'd develop.

[miracleofsound]

@roxasthekeyoffate65 WHY WON'T ANY OF THEM HIRE ME? :( :( Thanks for the kind words bro

[roxasthekeyoffate65]

@miracleofsound Oh God, you replied. For me that's like a Metalhead getting a reply from Metallica.

[TheRealJoni]

@miracleofsound Because you're already doing it for free. :p

[Potguy88]

@miracleofsound Judging by the amount of thumbs on that comment, you might have 25+ potential hirers. ;)

[SystemN7]

I wanna song about Helghan and Helghast :(

[cookieraider126]

BT



[Barricade2091]

I admit i'm not one for music like this...but this was awesome, I loved every second of it! Dom is my favorite character and I thank you for this tribute :)

[OCinderellaMan]

i think we need to hear a song about Marcus now. he's gone through so much!

[SgtPepperxD]

@theclay95 yeah cuz the one at the end of the game was soooo goood. *couldve been the worst song ever*

[plenty0fsweater]

Guess who just tweeted this out?

[xMunchers]

Cliffy B sent me :)

[UnkindxMoney]

I just want you to know that we respect you a lot! You not only always make great music videos (and music), but you manage to respond to pretty much every question that people ask, which most youtubers stop doing once they reach about 20 comments a vid, this vid has 76 comments and you still read and respond to a lot

[miracleofsound]

@UnkindxMoney favourite part of the job ;)

[KongKegso2]

after getting dumped this song is exactly what i needed in my inbox; Cheers mate!

[GuitarGuyJHx]

You should do one for Cole, or baird :)

[aeternostenet]

do you plan on doing a song for dark souls or demon's souls?

[miracleofsound]

Jessica Chobot tweeted this vid :D

[wwegamer025]

@miracleofsound (*_*) YOU LUCKY BASTARD!!!

[Thakill6]

this is the best one so far, u really got dom captured here ;) nice one also for the gears vets (the ones who played all 3 the games)

[fangore123]

Ok just an idea here...song about Infamous...maybe? I know it's kinda old and i don't think you have a ps3 Mr.Miracleofsound, but i personally think that would be awesome :P

[Justasktheprogamer]

I think we can all agree that gears of war had by far the best story line in video game history. Unfortunatly so long as Call of Duty continues to support noo tubes and other bunches of B.S there wont be very many other good stories.

[Zangelin]

@Justasktheprogamer Uhm.. it was good but the best in video game history is Reeeaaally streching it

[Justasktheprogamer]

@Zangelin Can you think of a bettter story line? One that made you cry at the sadness of it? I know when dom had to kill maria in gears of war 2 my throat was dry and my eyes watering.

[Zangelin]

@Justasktheprogamer Valkryria Chronicles, Metal gear series, Mass Effect, list goes on forever.

however that said. Gears story is good and has some sad moment but i never really cried, not clannad cried.

[TheClay95]

Hey man, I love your Gears songs, long time fan. Ever think about making one for Marcus? Also, here's a crazy idea, you could try rapping one about Cole! Give us a taste of your hip-hop skills :)

[miracleofsound]

@TheClay95 I'm a skinny white Irish guy... you won't be hearing any raps from me lol

[genialsisisi]

@miracleofsound Search for som big black raper guy

[CookieTheEpic]

@miracleofsound Hell, better Ireland than Upper-Clapton, eh?

(Obvious Professor Green refenrence is obvious)

[gogi5585]

Gavin is like creating his own genre, amazing music

[Aldowyn]

Huh, the video was even better here. Glad you did this, we appreciate it!

Know it doesn't get you out of doing a new Gears 3 song, though! :P

[miracleofsound]

@Aldowyn I already have a new Gears song written ;)

[Aldowyn]

@miracleofsound Not at all surprised. In fact, I was thinking that MIGHT be next week's video. Seems like it's about the right time. Or maybe the next one, which would be about as long from the Gears 3 release as the New Black Gold was from Deus Ex's...

[miracleofsound]

@Aldowyn It's something different next week ;) Something a LOT of people have been asking for all year...

[Aldowyn]

@miracleofsound Hmm. Not a clue yet. Interesting in seeing what it is, now...

[walruscrowface]

@miracleofsound

now your just teasing come on give us a clue

[randomperson2538]

@miracleofsound I bet it's halo. If I'm right, I want a T-shirt.

[SebastianSB]

Was Maria mentioned a single time in the first game?

[krackerkid5]

@SebastianSB doms tattoo said "maria" and he said he was looking for somebody. other than that, nothing really was said in the game

[TheIlRev]

I asked for it and you delivered- thank you :P

[TheSkootypuffsr]

amazing

[Roronoa2zoro]

To be perfectly honest i kinda liked that still image better. The song is pure magic, but having to watch the Gears characters desperately struggle to display emotions just kinda kills it >.>

Oh well, is the Escapist gonna be changing these two songs too or was this just for your personal editing dabble?

[MrHaloGuy1000]

Gordon Freeman Saved My Life video, pwease? :D

[ResidentEvil4Freak]

Oop. There goes my heart. Q_Q I'll have to fix it after I wipe away all these tears. *sniffles*

[LianzThe1337]

I'm trying to figure out how you managed to play Dom where as you would normall y play Marcus?

[GeneralZigbar113]

@LianzThe1337 tis co-op

[miracleofsound]

@LianzThe1337 co-op

[Reaverhobbies]

OUTSTANDING job, the really real lyrics just make the whole song- it tells a story ;P well done!

[MartinM101TV]

Yourself & TheSidesho should do something, imagine :O

[Ch0c0Face]

this sounds different than the other version.Did you re-record the song?

[miracleofsound]

@Ch0c0Face I re-recorded the lead vocal and remastered the whole track to make it more dynamic and less muddy

[Ballfairy]

@miracleofsound now if only you could do that to the game.

[Ch0c0Face]

@miracleofsound not to be disrespectful, but i kinda liked the old version way more.

[deathsshadow1108]

Hey Gavin has CliffyB seen these? ive never seen him reweet these and he loves this kind of stuff

[miracleofsound]

@deathsshadow1108 He tweeted about the Clay Carmine one before it had a music vid. Feel free to tell him about this one, I bet he'd like it more than Bodycount hehe

[deathsshadow1108]

@miracleofsound will do

[plenty0fsweater]

How are you gonna make a song like this and then ask us to not post spoilers? :S

[miracleofsound]

@plenty0fsweater Do you see or hear any Gears 3 spoilers in the song or video? Nope. You don't.

[plenty0fsweater]

@miracleofsound What I meant was, after a piece like this, people would wanna share their opinions on...er...what happens.

[Sean360h]

@miracleofsound are these re-recorded they sound different somehow

[miracleofsound]

@Sean360h yes, this one I re-did the vocals, and I remastered them both

[DarthXentus]

@miracleofsound Are these re-records up for sale? I will Gladly pay twice for better Quality.

[miracleofsound]

@DarthXentus Yeah, I've replaced the bandcamp version with the new one - so you should be able to re-download it for free. If not let me know, I may give away some free copies so people don't feel ripped off

[DarthXentus]

@miracleofsound Cool. Will/did "Ballad of Clay Carmine" and "Gordon Freeman Saved My Life" see similar treatments?

[KeeperofMolgera]

@DarthXentus I imagine Gordon will get the same treatment when valve finally gets off their asses, stops making hats for a while, and gets Episode 3 done.

[PlugInSteve]

You should get a band together and do a tour. I'd pay to see yours songs live.

[eamonhughesify]

Wat happened to the dead island song u mentioned in earlier video comments? :(

[miracleofsound]

NO GEARS 3 SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS GUYS, PLEASE!

[FUllmeTalMUT]

dom has one of the saddest stories ever in any game.

[ConfusedProud]

I miss B Carmine :'(

[TheJBoy90]

*sniff* This brings a tear to my eye.

[ZombieDawgs]

More like Santiago's LAMBENT

[godsdespair]

This song always gives me goose-bumps Gav. Defiantly one of your better songs

[krazysoap1113]

One of the best songs yet

[JARZMcPICKLEZ]

:D

[JIPunisherIL]

This is insanely awesome.

[RedDevilSaul]

2 miracleofsound songs in 1 day, my lifes complete :D

[Predetorary]

@RedDevilSaul They've been out for a while. :3 These are just the videos the music deserved :D

[RedDevilSaul]

@Predetorary Yeh I know i probably ment videos instead of songs lol

[27Metaldragon]

When it comes to story, Dom will always be my favorite Gears character.

[miracleofsound]

@27Metaldragon Me too.

[mypersonalzombie]

@miracleofsound I'm confused. I love the Gears series, but I don't know if they're on earth or another planet.

[deathsshadow1108]

@mypersonalzombie Their planet is called Sera (which spelt backwards is Ares the god of war)

[PapaSmurf124]

@27Metaldragon Dom was always my favorite character period. He was the man.

[MegaFunnymonkey123]

Awesome gav!

[magickage]

Amazing... as always.
