Tomb Raider II-soundtrack-venice theme

[SuperJamesBros]

This song brings back memories of when I fist played this when I was 4

[SuperJamesBros]

I love this song. This sis also my favorite game.

[TheMarinesable]

it's fantastic perfomance

[BaldotheDon]

What the hell? I was listening to the video and reading Cracked.com in another tab and almost at the end of the song, the music just stops? I had already liked and favorited this video, so I turned around and disliked and unfavorited it.

Those last few seconds are important. What a boner-killer.

[AndyDevice]

Even if you hear techno music you like this soundtrack. Its amazing and i was surprised when i first heard this track in the game. I wantet to hear it again and again.

I find that Tomb Raider 2-3 (think 1 too, but havent played it) are the best, the rest is not so good.

[Mikeydude27]

Her home music in TR 3 was kinda creepy but pretty cool

[tall32guy]

Love the sound of this! The melody Nathan McCree chose for this is magical, literally! I think he did the best composing of all the TR composers. The soundtracks for TR 1, 2, and 3 prove that! :)

[DollxLullaby]

@amarantine1323

He was always in that fridge , and that always the first thing I do when i'm in the mansion lol !

[wany707]

my best song in tomb rider

[emonightttt]

3 people didn´t locked the butler in the fridge >.<

[wotldthe2006]

I love this song and I loved it so much where I added this to my Cell Phone for its Ring Tone and its Text Messaging!!!

[jane8489]

HOW CAN ANYBODY NOT LIKE THIS. Go get locked in a fridge and rethink your life.

[Laury4e]

Love it

[firsty1391]

thinking back to this game was just peace and happines , true meaning of life feelings , God made this game ;) it has something special that no other game will ever have

[centralviva]

Great memories love it

[AlexanderaCherie]

I loved swimming to this music in her mansion

[partho00]

Such a great game and soundtrack. The song sort of reminds me of Winter from Vivaldi's four seasons. On another not if you enjoy this you'll like Winter by Vivaldi =)

[paploopaploo]

Why does it cut off at the end? :'(

[shade231]

fuck the ps3 the 360 and anything else that put graphics before pure amazement of sound and game play. Long live the games the play station spawned.

[machintruc22]

@shade231 Mmmm Basically, the PSX brought a big graphic improvement with 3D. So it's normal that a lot of new gameplay styles spawned during this 32/64 generation. It's like saying "thanks to PS3/360 to bring us pure online features..." whereas they are the first gen with global internet.

[amarantine1323]

thums up if you ever locked the butler in the fridge

[dezzy123rt]

@amarantine1323 oh yes first thing i ever did

[mannimarco2]

@amarantine1323 Everytime I played the mansion, I always would. Annoying bugger.



[SuperJamesBros]

@amarantine1323 how do you do that. lol.

[blueskytry]

yes, i love it =)

[kayzaac]

LOL, I remember putting the CD into my computer sometimes, not to play the game, but just to put on some headphones and listen to the audio tracks on it. My brother was like, "Is he seriously listening to video game music? o.O". And I was like, "YES I F*CKING AM!". Without the foul language though. XD

[Metal1998]

love this theme

[h0fn]

shit! this song makes unforgettable venice in tomb raider

[Yalastov]

Who composed this song??

Soundl like Bach or Haydn

[dontchuckitson]

@Yalastov Wish I knew...

[joshylightyear]

I locked the old man in the freezer.

[Robert130803]

Uma obra prima.

Um grande jogo.

Quantas lembranças...

[reiddy155]

@Robert130803 Com certeza cara. Eu tinha 10 anos de idade quando joguei esse TR II pela primeira vez em 1998. Ganhei um Playstation de meu pai no dia 11 de Julho (um dia antes daquela fatidica final da copa França 3 X 0 Brasil, rsrsrsrs). Aí no Interactive CD do Play, veio o demo de Tomb Raider II.. Dias depois meu pai comprou o jogo completo. Cara, quantas lembranças maravilhosas essa música me traz. Que tempo bom, que não volta nunca mais !!!

[reiddy155]

It reminds me of my childhood, I was 10 when my father bought me a Playstation. In the "Interactive CD" there was a Demo of Tomb Raider 2. So my father bought me the Full game.

I was very good with that speedboat.

Oh....so many sweet memories. I have to admit, Lara was one of my first loves. I was in love with her. If I could back at the time, I would back for this epoch.

Thanks for the uploading. Thanks for the memories !!!

[abbyfanduby]

@reiddy155 haha we still have that demo cd! I pop it in my ps2 every now and then. We still have the TR2 game too. I always crashed into walls with that speedboat (still do) XD

[dontchuckitson]

@reiddy155 Me too!

[NeverLookBackSamurai]

Ah, I FINALLY found this! This used to be the song I made Lara do gymnastics to in the ballroom, and I'm glad I found it! Thanks so much for putting it up~

[PanzerKittyNinja95]

The computer volume is too low for this songs greatness!! D:

[MissRennieJean]

i used to make lara dance to this in the mansion LOL 

[kelpie555]

@MissRennieJean sameeee

[kelpie555]

@MissRennieJean i made her do rolls in the air and stuff

[frogradar]

my first TR game that i loved... then 3 of course, but lol, i was crap with the boat... i rammed it into everything XD

[BrianTheDrummer9192]

Tomb Raider II FOREVER!!!!!

[Jabberwoxx]

I'm so glad I never got rid of my Tomb Raider games !! <3

[RedDress]

Speedboat memories! That boat took a pounding, was a terrible driver.

[cacabeto123]

bellaculen you can download it on video2mp3 you just need to put the url and thats it

[bellacullen98a]

too bad its not on itunes

[ARAMATEA]

nice



[mrstekkenforever]

awesomes damn if only they actually played this song in operas n stuff

[Trinn007]

this track played at opera house level right ?

[BadFluCh]

@Trinn007 no the level before opera... when you first enter venice

[GweeGwee]

that part that kicks in at 1:13 is just all up in my fucking face

[evalpeva]

If you put the Tomb Raider 2 for Playstation CD into your stereo, you can play this track from it.

[Caah4333]

2 PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THIS!???????

[ARAMATEA]

@Caah4333 they just use wrong button

[SaintHannah93]

does anyone else when listening to this feel the music just stopping because you'v either blown up the boat, fallen of something high or been shot dead?

[IrishNeonMatt]

OHMYGOD<3333333333333333333333­3333333333333333 I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!

[ahenmaxtae]

no wonder it took me so damn long to find this.i kept typing mansion music, when its venice music

[rafanoutube]

@masayoshi80 Ah, I see. Yeah, I like this song, it reminds me of my old times playing the real Tomb Raiders. But, Vivaldi is much better, lol. Although I really like this song for a reason. It's good, too...

[rafanoutube]

@masayoshi80 By that you mean it's similar to Vivaldi's work, but it's not Vivaldi, right? because it's not Vivaldi, lol...

[rafanoutube]

@masayoshi80 This wasn't composed by Vivaldi. For as much as I like this song, it can't be compared to Vivaldi. Vivaldi is just something else. This was composed by Nathan McCree.

[COREonlyfan]

@rafanoutube It wasnt composed by McCree, it was bought. The actual song is called "Venice Violins"

[rafanoutube]

Was this composed by Vivaldi, seriously?? I love this!

[adamisajoker]

thumbs up for shooting the butler and locking him in the freezer.

[000Melkor000]

@masayoshi80 you're right. It's from Lara's mansion

[SnotRockets55]

I used to love to put this song on in her house and then just run around doing backflips and jumping off of stuff for no reason lol.

[neonskul]

Play this while killing the bad guys at lara's home in the end

Epic movie scene lol

[josiqvideos09]

Viva  la musica Italiana!!!

[hashintosh2]

noooo how could you cut the last notes!!!! ;( ;(

[VideoxMistress]

I'm so happy that I was able to master this on the violin and it's so enjoyable to play.

[mirrorseye]

@VideoxMistress not to burst you bubble ,but theres more than 1 violin playing. assuming you can play multiple violins at the same time o.o

[VideoxMistress]

@mirrorseye You're funny. I know there is more than one violin playing. I can play all the parts that are avaliable to be able to played for the violin, which excludes the viola and cellos playing. I think with 13 years of experience, I know what I'm talking about. ;)

[mirrorseye]

@VideoxMistress im jealous! =3

[kurtywurty85]

I remember I use to make her do flips all around the "ballroom" while this song was playing. I was such a loser when I was little, I would ask my parents to buy these games for me, then I would run around the mansion all day because I was way too scared to actually play the game. Sad.

[BlueKewne]

this reminds me of all those times I tried to lock that butler in the freezer in the mansion.

When I pulled it off, it was a big accomplishment.

Then I'd get on top of the roof and swan dive onto the floor.

[psemaletheia]

it's the Venice Theme ??

I've listened that title in an official CD and it was called ''Classical Lara" O_o

[smitharz]

No words can describe how much I loved playing this game!

[rob032]

Ah fuck Sony, TR3 will play on my PS3 but TR2 won't...

[smitharz]

@rob032 fuckin raging!

[LaraCroftFan123]

@rob032 same problem, so does TR1. TR 3 onwards works

guess TR 1 and 2 are too old :S

[menslady125]

Ah, gliding down the canals of Venice...in a MOTORBOAT! WHOO-HOO!

[Meister26156]

I loved it, to drive with the boat in venice and kill all this guys and dogs with the pistols^_____________^

[ceasargra10]

You have nooo idea how many memories this brings.... Thx ;)

[alisamilano]

who composed the tomb raider themes?

[LightsCameraAaron]

@alisamilano

Here are a few of the composers

Peter Connelly,

Martin Iveson

Troels Brun Folmann

Colin O'Malley

[wotldthe2006]

One of the best game songs ever made.Just epic

[HakunaMatata2012]

@masayoshi80

it was in Laras mansion and in Venince xD

[chef123]

some nice classical music, and shooting up bad guys

[mattakudesu]

this was like the first song that got me into violin music

[DanniDestructive94]

What is this song actually called? and who is it by? X

[RikkuYubari]

My favourite part about this song is playing it as you're killing all the bastards in the Home Sweet Home level.

[bananaempijama]

@RikkuYubari indeed

i don't know why but scenes were you are killing a bunch of bad guys,listening to classical music,is so.......relaxing :P

[VideoxMistress]

My favorite part is from 2:07-2:19

[VideoxMistress]

@SasaLove90 me too!!

[puppetmasterin]

Love this theme alot!!!!

[nosemeocurrenada32]

a que tiempos aquellos cuantos recuerdos me trae esa musica fue como un catalizador para mi en los personal me dejo sorprendido la primera vez que lo mire nunca e mirado otro tomb raider como esta entrega, nunca fue superada por las demas ya con un largo camino recorrido en el mudo de los poligonos e mirado vastante pero nada que me sorprenda y me guste tanto como tomb raider 2 que tiempos aquellos señor don simon

[Tiebor12]

does anyone know where I can get the full version of Venice Violins?

[timschorr]

God this brings back mammories

[Siffaro]

Gooodddddddd nice ;)

[MiloDC]

This is brilliant. I remember reading that Nathan McCree listened to a lot of Vivaldi before composing this, and it really shows. A wonderful composition in the Baroque style!

If you haven't heard "Tomb Beauty" and "Longing for Home" from the first game, check those out as well. Marvelous work.

[gamer5007]

favourite theme in the tomb raider series...

[DinaSan1]

wow i was trying to find this theme a long time ago!it's the best theme in tr2!

[kaddour9]

heh, if only they still made games like this. i don't even understand how games got WORSE?

[sandrored]

@masayoshi80 and in lara mansion too

[laylafrackiewicz]

ah yes! finaly i found this song on youtube! i allways pushed the button in croft manor over and over again just to hear this song. great job! i'll put it by my favorites!

[sandrored]

@laylafrackiewicz thanks :D

in venice lvl the music plays too :D

[Jpose03]

@laylafrackiewicz that's awesome I used to do the same thing!!

[VideoxMistress]

@laylafrackiewicz haha me too, I always would run to the pool and do swimming to it, I thought it made it prettier for some reason. maybe cause I love the water. xD

[MiriahLovesCookies]

@laylafrackiewicz ahha I would push the button over and over while doing random flips n stuff in the big open room

[andreacoates37]

@laylafrackiewicz

ME TOO

[Cupcom5]

@laylafrackiewicz another way to get the soundtrack is to pop the cd in a cd player, some PS games work like that.

[officialpresspoppel]

Nostalgia

tomb raider II is the first tomb raider i played it was 8 years ago (:

[deanoAKAlyrical]

wow this brings back mermorys to when i was a kid im 19 now wish i could go back to the old days =)

[RobinsTaste]

@masayoshi80 Both the mansion and Venice. Am I the only one that gets a little bit scared, couse it is a reminder of T-rex battle?

[abbyfanduby]

@RobinsTaste Nope. I remember that t-rex. It scared the day-lights outta me 2 lol

But I have ALWAYS loved the soundtrack to this game 8D

[danielsommadj]

@RobinsTaste: I believe that it plays also as BGM on the airplane cutscene, before Marco Bartoli turns radio off when talkin with Fabio about the Xian mark.

[Polomance862]

Awh this theme? I remember when I was young I made lara do all sorts of stuff while this played! from jumping dance to swimming! such good memories that simply cant go to waste! There is no other way to explain my love for this track. I hope one day my orchestra group can play this!

[SuperNESFreak]

Ah yes... more memories...

Of FU*KING scratched CDs that didn't work half of the time! Missing sounds! Missing textures! Oh, the pain!

[davidevgen]

@SuperNESFreak get it buffed at gamestop

[Limitsora999]

I love this song!miss it so much since my disc got so scratched...now i can just hear it on the emulator,it sucks!

[ConfusedConsoleGuy]

let me ask one question?...

Does this bring back good memories or what, 123 FTW.

[stjxp]

You could play this song on the stereo in Lara's Mansion too. I would play this song and run around the whole place jumping over "Jeeves"

[MissCreamBerry]

Cool!! My favourite song!!! =)

[ultimatehunterx]

@masayoshi80 the demo of the game....it had this music in Venice level. wonder why they removed it though.

[kimcheolho]

TR 1 and 2 had such great music. Almost rivalling some famous classical scores. But since then the music got worse and worse.

[boyolashin2]

I love this theme... LOVE IT !

Tomb Raider ROCKS

[danzatriceorientale]

It was as in Lara's home (when she played her hi-fi) as when she came to Venice.

[euthanasiaXIVexists]

you guys kno,the 2 music vids after the movie?can't find it.please mssg me if you know ;) thks

[sandrored]

no :D

its in venice lvl

[Astru26]

@sandrored

But it's also playing in radio in Croft Manor.

[MaGGoTh696]

@sandrored It is ALSO in Lara's Mansion as masayoshi said. When you press the button to play the stereo this music pops up. That's where I remember it mostly from.

[SuperNESFreak]

@sandrored Also in the mansion - press the button in the dance hall.

[deadguy718]

@sandrored it's in both :::D

[terryr2u]

ACTUALLY IT WAS IN BOTH LARAS HOUSE AND VENICE TRUST ME I HAVE ALL TOMB RAIDERS EVEN UNDERWORLD

[jampaste]

@terryr2u capslock ahoy!

[DinaSan1]

@terryr2u why underworld? =.='

[manuelo3]

@terryr2u LYK OMG! U HAV ALL TEH TOMB RAIDERS EVEN UNDERWORLD? you act like you're the only one.

[Valnar123]

@sandrored

[rrcarroll252]

I was enjoying this so much, and then the last few notes are cut off! Please resubmit with a few seconds of silence at the end!

[rob032]

If I ever visit Venice this is probably all I'll be able to think of. I'll be watching out for gunmen and dogs on rooftops too.

[HiHat77]

lol

[vangk0]

I'm just joking!! FuckingCapcom just wants to take everything to themselves trying to claim every video game idea including music copied from capcom"

Ryu's theme is a fauckSin! I will kill capcom!......................m­uder!!

[vangk0]

This songs not better than Ryu's theme!!

[jeanaro]

IMBA 5/5

[moggy10]

any way of getting this piece on mp3?

[Richtofer054]

media converter ; D

[Roewland]

FLV

[ningeaBLADEclanuBECA]

[dawidwlkp]

Vivaldi - Concerto for viola d'amore & lute (RV 540) (3)

[QuarashiKiev]

Это Вивальди?

[vxxj4v1xxv]

awesome tits

[MatthewDavidParr]

About that.

A really funny comment was made by the team that built this game. They all pointed towards the leader and he said that her bust size was a mistake; she was only meant to have 120% bigger boobs than a normal girl, but 'his finger slipped' on the mouse wheel, and they ended up as 1200% bigger!

[cutepotop2]

are you freakishly serious!!!!

[MatthewDavidParr]

Yeah...

A slip on the mouse wheel.

Ha ha ha...

[ningeaBLADEclanuBECA]

those are breasts not tits

[vxxj4v1xxv]

true

[jones110spieletipps]

The Best :D Melodie :D

[Rebirthsouls]

this is what i love about this game... this soundtrack! omg where did you get it

[GaryGarratt]

This amazing game was made in my home city of Derby, UK.

[pandapop999]

Hehe, Only good thing about good ol' Derby.

Drive past the old Eidos studios regularly.

[GaryGarratt]

Me too, but all there is now is new apartments. I remember when went past and saw the original core design building being demolished.

[rob032]

@GaryGarratt I'll let the 3-0 drubbing DCFC just gave us slide on behalf of that!

[MarkyMalarky]

this reminds me of Vivaldi's Four Seasons (Winter) Thanks for posting this!

[sandrored]

thanks you :D

[lugorodaimon]

This one took me a while. The song is "Venice Theme" by Nathan McCree from the Tomb Raider 2 soundtrack.

[nosemeocurrenada32]

grasias men sete agradece, me encanta este juego pienso que marco epoca el mejor que yo e jugado y telodice alguien con muchas horas de vuelo en el mundo de los poligonos, como recuerdo que pasaba horas de sano entretenimiento y era toda una experiencia para mi, aun que ya tenga años desde su salida aun lo juego de vez encuando para recordar añoranzas, aaaa mi larita que aria yo sin ti, denuevo grasias por subir su magnifica musica, aaaa que tiempos equellos señor don simon,

[sandrored]

Venice violins

[CyanideFilledCandy]

I always loved this song!

[LotusElise2002]

i love this. This has always been one of the best parts. I just LOVED the three venice levels theyve been my favorite in the entire series and i sometimes just play them just for the sake of it
