Columns- Clotho (Sega Genesis)

[Dandaman955]

Now isn't that a coincidence, my mum enjoyed this game as well!

[Fuckfan77]

this theme sounds kind of scary for me

[MatroskaPan]

When I was a kid, I was the only one that played it... .-. I love this game!!!!!!

[TheSoundtrackGenious]

i remember when the music at 1:28 would start playing, I was always about to lose!!

[Suixa]

Has anyone noticed that the songs for columns were named after the 3 greek sisters of fate?

Clotho, Atropos and Lathesis o,o

*mindblown*

[MrCryztal]

Great! I will go to the next church to play it on the big church organ!!!!

[dabdab10]

@MrCryztal /watch?v=ipzR9bhei_o you will notice

[zetallest]

.......man the 90's

[ectoprestos]

There is a offial music score of this song?

[75edainsworth]

this is probably one of my favorite VGM from the sega days

[sweetmisslaura]

iPhone

[sweetmisslaura]

I love this game I play it all the time on my ipho e

[MADMILLION2]

This sounds, just rewinds me back to my childhood. In my living room with my sega playing this on 6pack along with streets of rage, sonic and golden axe. Soo side. I love new gaming(wii,, 360 and warcraft) but something bout the classics are just soo epic. The 90s were really the golden age. Also to that 1 person who disliked, why even search for this video? #icant with the internet.

[ihatebobsaget1989]

@MADMILLION2 haha 6 pak was awesome, 90's were awesome, sometimes i wish i could go back in time to my childhood to relive the 90's

[Sphynxinator]

I love the gems in this game. ^_^ So good music!!!

[Hazelminker]

i Can play up to the 1:30 part on a Piano :)

i'll probably try it on the ocarina as well

[DidntThinkLong]

@Hazelminker

could you make a tutorial, please?

[Hazelminker]

@DidntThinkLong i don't have my piano with me at the moment, or did you mean in the ocarina ? :)

either way, the first part of the song is really easy hehe

[Despisedmalevolence]

this is my favorite song from that game. brings back memories

[KANE15151H]

This game remember me of my mather .. she always played at the past

love ya mom

[SJSJOHNS0NS]

So... freaking... nostalgic...

[SilentJ43]

This song is a really nice background music for when you're playing Novice flash columns on level 5, have yourself worked all the way up to the top, but through a series of freak accident combos you work your way back down to the bottom and smash that shiny little gem.

Like I always say, every missed combo is just a bigger combo waiting to happen.

[gibsondanny]

it seems everyone who played this was kinda bad at the game compared to there Mum... and im no exception... its crazy right

[KnuxDBlueWerewolf]

when i was playing the game, at 1:29 scared the shit out of me!!

i thought something bad was happening like i was running out of time!!! lol

[marmax321]

farthest for me was level 70 :D

I love this game so much because it helps me think and relax<3

[TheDARKYOSHI64]

This music is depressing...But It fits the gameplay...you need to concentrate...and relax... (:

[chocolatehoney15]

My mom went to level 75.

The highest I've reached was 30-35.

[Astroman9991]

I remember this well, back when my Dad played Sega Megadrive. Then, this appeared on a collection of retro games for PSP - wonderful stuff.

[aqwrocks]

if i die, i want this to be played at my funeral. it is a calm and relaxing song.

[DaBlueShadow]

I still think Columns 3 is the best in the franchise but Columns 1 still has great memories for me playing this game.

[xKlaw]

I love the sound when you keep making combo's! makes me feel .... invinsible muahhaha =P

[NiggadickJaxHD]

it was the year 1991.. where i would sit Long nights in the dark with my earphones on. Columns (game gear) took my mind places i never knew existed as a kid.. i never knew i had such speed for those high points...

Columns was Mind Control....

Game Gear Nights were the best..

[Larissa62282]

funny music

[spartansfan1026]

My mother once played Columns an entire day in '93... that is until my dad told her, "The score counter won't go any higher, you know."

This music takes me back to being five years old and watching in utter awe as those gems moved furiously...

[Stedman75]

seems everyone has the same mum.. lol, my mum rolled and smoked this game loads of times, and Tetris too on the game boy.

however she also completed all the sonics before I even knew who sonic was xD

[thebadpinoy]

THIS GAME IS SPARTA

[NurseDoomsday]

The first time I played this game was on the Sega six pack used to play this game and golden axe for hours.

[abc2390986]

I used to hate this game, when I was still a kid, my mom can play this game for a whole afternoon without having a game over. Every time she plays columns ,it's not likely she's going to make dinner before 8pm. :p

[christopherleehuffma]

@abc2390986 My mom does that now! It's in a SEGA collection I bought for Dreamcast (which I bought for cheap a few months ago), and she once spent 15 full hours of her waking day playing it.

[yostoyou]

it's good up to 00:20 or something when it starts sounding REALLY religious. love the beginning.

[MattTheSpratt]

Well placed echo. Very subtle, but works beautifully.

[mistersonic93]

This was the only game my mom would play with me, I iss it sooo much T__T

[tiffanylv]

@mistersonic93 Same here!

[whrm3]

@mistersonic93 Only game my grandparents had, that wasn't golf or baseball.

[danthebev]

@mistersonic93 OMG me too

[hydrophoenixuh]

@mistersonic93

Hahaha, same here. My mom loved this game.

[thegreig]

i use to play this game just to listen to the music

[quizzledorf]

why is it that most of the videos for Clotho don't have the section of song that starts around 1:30? that's the best part

[theultimatekoopa2]

@quizzledorf Yeah, that's the best part, as well. Infact, all 3 of the themes (Clotho, Lathesis and Atropos) have these extra bits in them)

[Deidaaraartisabang]

most underrated game ever

[theultimatekoopa2]

I've never actually paid attention to anything like the score or number of jewels, I just play until I lose, so what exactly makes the part from 1:28 actually start playing, because normally it just skips that part. Is it after a certain score, or number of jewels?

[Wizee88]

@theultimatekoopa2 it's when you start to pile up your columns too high and there isn't much room then the music speeds up to put you under pressure : )

[theultimatekoopa2]

@Wizee88 I don't mean the speeding up part, I mean the extra part.

[jarito8]

i remember... being just a row from ... game over ... and this little "solo" starts and i start making some huge combos :D

[cucollins12]

castlevania tetris

[Energester]

i always used this music. and changed the thigns to fruits or other symbols. and it keeps speeding up . and goes very fast after awhile!

[Turbolad995]

Funeral music.

[bonberman100]

merci j'adore ecouter le son de cette music

[fourstar7]

you can probably play this song on a harpsichord...

[RasrapSmurf]

It reminds me of Strawberry Fields by The Beatles

[jarito8]

i just love the "solo" that begins at 1:25 and at the end of the track ... but it sounds even better when it is played faster like in the game

[jarito8]

i just love the "solo" that begins at 1:25 and at the end of the track

[mossmatt]

Indeed, such an awesome game. Used to play this on my nomad before it blew up.

[Cynnbadd22]

wow, im on a nostalgia trip right now and this just tops the cake ^_^

[FaxanaduJohn]

This music used to hypnotise me back in the early 90s when I was a kid. One of the greatest video game soundtracks of all time.

[PikaaMKW]

@FaxanaduJohn Me too! It used to make me sleepy haha

[krissytag]

great game awsome music :)

[Deidaaraartisabang]

back when video games kick ass

beautiful music .. do you notice guys that sega is like the best company produce beautiful music in video games .. ahh smooth dream music .. genesis kick ass along with this game and many ..i'm gonna cry ( i'm not emo lol ) i really missed these times and my childhood ..

[MatanteiTsugiri]

Never...would you beat me at this game..you would need to know about the goings on ..of alot of astral contractions..to even stand a chance @-}--- but alas..thank you for the tune..tis very spiritual..so to speak x

[LDNish]

I had this on the Sega Mega Drive. I still remember this tune. At the time, I was very young, I still wanted this game so I got the collection on ps2

[UltraJFan]

Why only so slow : /

[MalvaSmash]

CLOTHO FOR LIFE!!!

[RaelSexStar]

@MalvaSmash  I love Clotho so much, me and my boyfriend MATTEO always fuck with this song :*

[rriveralalonde]

THIS IS AN AWESOME GAME. I'm glad I owned back when I had my Sega, at least now I can buy it for the PS2!

[Durpdeedur]

This song is responsible for 85% of suicides in the US. The actual games makes up the remaining 15%.

[thehouserocker]

Ahh back when when game creaters actually put effort into the sound! the music in this game is perfect because it relaxes you and actually helps you concentrate in my opinion

[tiffanylv]

@thehouserocker Yeah I agree, It sounds so soothing :) haha

[MultipleScrotum]

@tiffanylv All of this is true, while being deathly frightening at the same time. It's like being at ones own funeral in a way. In a terrifying, yet extremely beautiful way.

[tiffanylv]

@MultipleScrotum Yep :)

[axelopinet]

@tiffanylv yep yep ;)

[GreenMaster8]

@tiffanylv Wow, everything you said just nailed it on the head. Pure win.

[MultipleScrotum]

@GreenMaster8 Thank you, chieftain.

[MikeH1986MikeH]

@MultipleScrotum People have taken this insightful and though-provoking comment to heart, despite the fact that your username is Multiple Scrotum

[MultipleScrotum]

@MikeH1986MikeH Haha! Yes, it's good to know that my thoughts have the ability to transcend the name.

[bkdog411]

@thehouserocker  I completely agree. Very relaxing and unobtrusive

[grundalug2]

@thehouserocker

i think modern day games should be limited to what they can create in this style. maybe then i could stomach the horrible cliches that pass for games these days. get back to the golden age gaming music.

[MysticArksRevenge]

@thehouserocker Exactly, dude! :D 

[takeone51]

@thehouserocker

so awesomely haunting..

[xxxglaciusxxx]

nooooooo i lover this music

[Messer4471]

It puts me 15 years ago =(

*nostalgic*

[ls4ever999]

which column game is it where the statue of liberty is on the far right. and can u give me a link please

[tails22x]

Humm I just realized. "Clotho" is the name of the first "Fates" from greek mythology.

[rockguy1992]

@tiffanylv

Me too.

[tiffanylv]

@charmanderlover10 well good for you ha ha =)

[Outkast950]

I had this on the 6 Pak!!

Who else had that? Streets of Rage FTW

[tiffanylv]

@Outkast950 I STILL have my sega genesis and 6 pack! :)

[uniracer13]

i have that pack too, except i have sega genesis 3 ._. super small lol

[gutchman84]

@Outkast950 we did when we got our sega genesis in 1995 christmas day. that game came with the genesis by that time.

[ultimatehunterx]

So did I ! :D

[wawaronman]

WOW nostalgic masterpiece here i got shiver just when i listen it !!

[anosky]

i think this game is better than tetris

[Hazelminker]

@anosky so do i : )

[chemicalmix]

@anosky

Totally agree with you. Much more strategic than Tetris

[cobo5951]

When I was 4 and had a Genesis, this game was one of the only games I had... It came with the system. The only other games I had were Sonic 1 and Ms. PacMan. I think I was better at it back then than I am now... O_o;

[Freakazzoid49002]

i gotta say, i agree with you, i think i was better when i was younger, i can't even get 20000 anymore

[BggProductions]

I love this music! Please check out my vid of me playing this on guitar. Thanks.

[coolnofool]

wow... i love columns just for the music :)

[JarminKell]

Awesome soundtrack and weird paintings.

[ntakaka]

love it ;_; i'd like to hear the other 2 songs, Atropos and...can't remember 3x

[yuothineyesasian]

someone should do this on mario paint composer

[crudnsludge]

The most morose theme of all time.

[LaceNeilSinger]

I always used to get to infinate levels; if you play it for long enough, the level counter stops going up. XD

[tiffanylv]

Yeah its crazy!

[4c00h]

is there any sheet music for this? would be fantastic to play on the piano

[Emmalena]

I can make you one if you like, but the easiest one is to learn by ear or to get some music transcribing software and upload a midi of it.

[4c00h]

yeah i can do it by ear but id like to have the score and dont have time to write it myself, work 15 hrs /day

would be great if you could make one though!

[MasterBORRACHO]

Love this track. Who doesn't?

[filth86]

oh shit I forgot about this

[bareirito]

The first time I played the game i was like :O. Awesome soundtrack.

[Edgehead1132]

[tiffanylv]

wow! yeah i have the one for sega genesis and i also have it in a sega genesis pack for ps2. :] i can beleive i still have my sega genesis though, its so old =p

[crusher955]

I have this game, it's great, and the music is AWESOME! I'm trying to make a gh version of it, I'll probably have it up on my channel in a week.

[tiffanylv]

[chrisq007]
