Portal - Self Esteem Fund

[LampLightZDL]

Anyone else hear this and think; Terminator?

The cold, isolated, 80's-sci-fi soundtrack is mesmerizing.

[NovaProspekter]

When I bought Portal 2 I thought it would have the same desolate atmosphere and music as Portal. I was wrong.

[ratatatandbooger]

When I first discovered Ratman's den..

Another life wasted away by the lunatic AI.

[JessicaTheShark]

I find it kind of funny how different the two Portal games are, dialogue-wise:

Portal: "Aah, it's too quiet and lonely! Hey, GLaDOS, would you kindly say something funny again? Please?"

Portal 2: "Do these characters EVER shut up?"

Lmao. XD Seriously, though. Both games are great, and so are their soundtracks!

[StormBloodClaw]

This song makes me realise what we are all afraid of. Being alone. Alone, in a cold, damp, wet enviroment. Worried you'll die alone. Which leads me to something else. Is there anything after life. Or just silent blackness. Make the most of what you have.

[LongWellful]

guy below me copied comment from other video

[Logan508cp]

Imagine you wake up and leave your room, you look around and your home is totally ravaged, in ruin, windows broken, door busted down and your family is gone. You leave your house trying to figure out to whats going on, only to find everything around you is in ruin as well, as if you have been asleep long enough for the human race to dissipate. You start to run, begin to panic, spinning in all directions screaming out for someone, anyone and the only response you receive is a quiet gust of wind.

[guest9650]

listening to this song while looking at my desktop makes my desktop look empt

[Kzzori]

hey...im looking for the song that plays on the radios you find throughout the test chambers...anyone know what thats called?

[MurreXZ]

*played Portal for the first time and this song came*

"Ohh.. god... Portal.. is the best game ever made.."

And every time I hear this song i thougt the same ♥

[DevilGuyUK]

This reminds me of Ocarina of time for some reason.

[Elijahbabyluigifan]

I don't know why but this theme got me really, really excited, i don't really know why, but it's almost as if it fits the sentences "now you're thinking with portals" and "no cake for you" in that evil echoey tone....

[CoolBobFilms]

I feel like my whole life has just been ruined and that I'm about to be forced to jump in a big container slowing filling up with water.

[Vordwann]

This song makes me feel like I'm starving in a test chamber and the walls feel like they're getting more compact slowly.

[Lokatah]

This song always gave me a sense of loneliness especially around 0:45

[chachacha3nOs]

Gives me goosebumps.

[TheFastjellyfish]

Screw X-files, this is real creepy music ><

[RocketWoods]

Oh cool, its friend box :O

IT IS FRIEND BOX TO ME AND ALWAYS WILL BE!!

[HunterMarioWorld]

it reminds me when i was a little boy, in my room, playing with my toys... those days are gone now. welcome to reality AKA alive in hell

[BingKoh]

sounds a little bit like spore although it's not.

[kansazkid]

this theme picters a lone soldier strowling toward a devastated city smouldering smoke rising from the rubble and ashes of burning buildings scorched bodies lie still. the smell of death sokes his nosterols. sunbeams pier through broken grey cloud and a cold breeze carries ashes into the air the only sign of life is the deathly call of a crow....

[TurBoChaRgeD011]

sounds like Chell's theme,

she is alone

cold,

worried

no comfort

yet peaceful

[gta4rulzu]

GOD I LOVE THIS THEME :0

[MrTeeman22]

@666dominikator666 Valve, because Valve is awesome.

[ConsideredCapricious]

Sure we are puppets .. have been for a long time now :)

[thewholefinshow]

it makes me question... are we puppets? do we live in a world where everyone is controlled by a higher being? is this loneliness truly loneliness when someone could be watching all u do? think about it for a second.

[peacelotus]

This song makes me feel sad, cold, alone, fragile... but also gives off the faintest vibe of stillness, a special sort of calm you can only get from things like this. It makes me feel agitated, yet at peace.

[Soniczeldaking]

Your in a old run down place, alone, cold, scared, nowhere to go..

[LadyRoughneck]

did you know you can contribute one or more of your organs to the Apeture Science Self Esteem fund for girls? Its True!

[superfreak150]

This song, makes me feel... eery, alone,afraid like theres someone out there who needs you, but you cant help them and you lose them. That empty feeling inside you.

[Triumph2099]

when I hear that I think about my past and my mistakes :D

[suspect14647]

song's kinda creepy.I like it.

[Horidikanas]

Well if I'm ever going to be all alone, isolated, insane and the such then first thing I'm gonna do is get my iPod and put on this tune.

[Socks7899]

There are turrents outside, waiting to kill you, and cameras watching you. If that's not enough, there's this creepy song...

[soundificator]

Contributer Unknown ? WTF?

Kelly Bailey

[Armyfan1000]

@soundificator mah bad i didnt know, it is portal after all ._.

[megaman0426]

this should be Giygas's Lair Theme.

[dudeboc5]

What part of this does this appear in? The ratsmens pen, or whatever it's called?

[sting2death2]

When I hear this music ... I think of a Large room with light, nothing but white light.

a depressing , yet beautiful Track...

[OcelottMaster]

One word; Deepness.

[xMushroomhead1337x]

For some reason, this song makes me feel like a small insect that is trapped in an enormous maze.

[GLaDoSable]

This makes me feel cold.

Alone.

Scared.

Waiting for someone to save me.

Please.

Please someone save me from this dark place.

[halo2party]

@GLaDoSable

Okai.

[GLaDoSable]

@halo2party Huh?

[halo2party]

@GLaDoSable

Haha

[GLaDoSable]

@halo2party ....

[SVFreedomFighters]

@GLaDoSable dont worry! ima coming!

[trance92]

@GLaDoSable This makes me feel relaxed and at peace with the world like im alone and just able to think

[night1hal1]

@lolbizkitz That's what it's supposed to make you feel, this game has so much dark humor in it.

[TheGhostman0]

Like everyone says; alone, isolated, self-reflecting, solemn-feel to it. Songs like this are the definition of emotion conveyance.

[ShatteringGlassX]

This is my favorite portal song

[Pwneaterz]

@ShatteringGlassX agreed 

[jay9843]

it give u that wierd icalated fellin inside

[TheGhostman0]

I couldn't agree with you more.....

[SimCity4IE]

I love these songs

[HypotheticalMuffins]

This one is all about the logic used by the test subjects. Problem-solving. And towards the middle, a few of their struggles. But that's just me.

I must say I love this song the most.

[GLaDoSable]

are you seriously going to explain what evry portal soundtrack is?

[HypotheticalMuffins]

If you don't know yet, I have already.

And it's not exactly what they mean, it's just what I think of when I listen to them. I'm not claiming this is what the composers were imagining when they composed the songs.

[Demanufactur3r]

such an isolating track

god i love this game

[myfurryhat]

It makes me imagine i'm in Aperture Science. Cold, alone. A rather metalic feeling, really. I love this song. <3

[TheGhostman0]

Its exactly how I feel.....

[riku122]

My favourite off of the Portal s/t BY FAR

[ThousandthBeam2]

Beautiful.

[homestarbot]

i luv this song
