Fallout 3 Soundtrack: "When the Swallows Come Back"

[crockpotorcrackpot]

are they african or european swallows?

[Br0therh00dPaladin]

@crockpotorcrackpot Maybe they're American Swallows? That's possible right?

[crockpotorcrackpot]

@Br0therh00dPaladin i dont think you got the referance, if you watch monty python and the quest for the holy grail you will

[Br0therh00dPaladin]

@crockpotorcrackpot Alrighty then! Thanks,

[Emcmillin09]

@crockpotorcrackpot Probably European. African swallows are, in a sense, always home because they never left, due to them being non-migratable.

[crockpotorcrackpot]

@Emcmillin09 NI!

[BabyPaulaPolestar]

@crockpotorcrackpot I don't know...

/me gets dragged into the larva.

[Astronomy1996]

Hope the next Fallout is as good as Fallout 3

[9volt65]

@Astronomy1996 Look at Skyrim.

Now look at all of the other Fallouts.

How could it not be?

[BoralesPride]

better then new vegas.

[AlphaTek795]

0:48 is the best part yay :)

[dapenguin2]

Anyone who wants a cheap laugh, look at who youtube thinks made it. LOL

[yoji0]

Oh, so that's just a made-up title.

Eh, I can dig it.

[GeMod299]

CLASSIC

[butterman249]

In honest hearts the nukes dident hit Zion so the ecosystem remand intact but that didnt stop critters from moveing in....

[DESERTRANGER7]

I want rain in fallout 4 even snow whos wiv me???

[ReinierSanders]

@DESERTRANGER7 I don't think it will rain ever again when the world is nuked to bits.

[kaitokita]

@DESERTRANGER7 uh I don't think that would be a very good idea. The rain/snow/sleet may have a ton of rads and kill you if you're in a storm or something.

[PulseOfTheAwakening]

@DESERTRANGER7

rain yes, snow no !

[DESERTRANGER7]

@PulseOfTheAwakening I guess your right rain may be safe but snow would have tons of rads

[PulseOfTheAwakening]

@DESERTRANGER7

i think rain wouldn't be safe either but it's still a game ( sucks e ? wish it was real life sometimes )

[DESERTRANGER7]

@PulseOfTheAwakening your right i watched a documentary about hiroshima people who drank the rain that fell died,sucks rain would add detail ,and it rained in honest hearts wtf >:I

[PulseOfTheAwakening]

@DESERTRANGER7

it would be nice of it did rain in Fo3 and sometime's really hard to, but when it happens you have to search for cover as quickly as you can...

[DESERTRANGER7]

@PulseOfTheAwakening yeah would work,adds detail,they should put sandstorms in and sandstorm resistant clothing for stating out

[PulseOfTheAwakening]

@DESERTRANGER7

indeed ^^ it would have a real nice feeling to it, makes it a little harder and fun to survive in the wasteland

[Zorka1996]

0:48 is the best part :)

[Zorka1996]

@BradleyBrantner94 Brotherhood of Steel,just because they are a bit in conflict whit the NCR that dosent means they will forget their way,the way of honor

[krazypkiller]

i like the title you gave it. i cant think of a better way to say

[BradleyBrantner94]

I really like the N.C.R. and what they stand for. But there is something about the Brotherhood of Steel that attracts me. They could really stand up and make a difference but they have taken on a new path that is morally questionable. Still though, when you look at those bad ass suits, along with this music you gotta LOVE EM!

[theSpartan187]

@BradleyBrantner94 and the old enclave.. maybe

[BradleyBrantner94]

Everyone cast a vote! Which faction would you join? The Brotherhood of Steel, The Enclave, The New California Republic, or Caesars Legion?

[Deadfox7777]

@BradleyBrantner94 BoS

[attackman456]

@BradleyBrantner94 I was thinking of Enclave...but The BoS has Liberty Prime so.....yeah, I think BoS

[theSpartan187]

@BradleyBrantner94 Rangers... dont forget about the rangers

[cknevarez21]

Fallout 3 the best game:)

[EthansEntertainment]

@cknevarez21 Amen to that.

[meshtornProductions]

I know a lot of people want fallout to be a movie but wouldn't it be better as a mini series on HBO or something. If u have ever seen burn notice on USA then they could use that format and have a mission an episode and build up to the main ending

[ChancellorRW]

Can someone please explain the meaning of the title? When the Swallows come back?

[MrChubbyCats]

@ChancellorRW

Its a poem, look it up.

[CabooseBE]

@ChancellorRW The Ink Spots, whose music appears in the Fallout series quite often, have a song called "When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano". I assume it's based on that. This is one of the few songs I haven't named myself, though, so I'm not sure.

[Quizerno]

@ChancellorRW

I was thinking about it for some time.

To me, both the song and the title are representative of civilization rising from the ashes. The "Swallows coming back" is a metaphor for rebuilding society and also makes sense in the context of the universe (as birds are a few of things unaffected in the wasteland).

(splitting my post into two, this is the first part)

[Quizerno]

@ChancellorRW

(second part)

MrCats, mentioned a poem. Searching for it brings up "Dear Brave Souls" and looking at it, reflects a similar message:

"We used to clear the swallows’ nests from under the eaves.

The men destroyed the nests,

brought them down with hoes, rakes and pitchforks ......

........

But even so, the swallows came back again"

[MrChubbyCats]

@ChancellorRW It is a poem, by Ray Bradbury I believe

[mrnosy1]

how can i download this song?

[kidzdog]

Never get old...NEVER

[Gecko954]

@EthansEntertainment

what?

[BloXboX37]

@EthansEntertainment Who the fuck gives a shit. And what do you mean by " are there only homos in New Vegas " .. What a immature insult, What are you 12?

2011, Still hating homosexuals.

Are you even trying?

[BloXboX37]

@EthansEntertainment Disliking Homosexuals is disliking a Sexuality, Its discrimination and its not letting people come out with what they really are.

But once you get out of the fucking immature teen stage you will probably relize the above, I havent seen any "Homo" in New Vegas. There is a companion named Arcade Gannon and he is gay but that is about it.

[BloXboX37]

@EthansEntertainment "Discriminating" is the word. A person isnt called homophobic because of his opinions, but because of his actions.

Besides, Homosexuality is a sexuality. Notice "SEXUALITY" after Homo? Yeah.

Also i dont have time for 14 year olds like you, Welcome to my Block list. Have fun with the other guys that are there too.

[EthansEntertainment]

@BloXboX37 I don't talk to fags. You want to be queer, I DON'T CARE. FUCK YOU. But i have my OWN opinions. So, FUCK OFF. I'm sure the people here don't want to read your fag crap. Besides "Homosexuality" was never intended to be a reproductive system. Thus, it is not a sexuality.

[BloXboX37]

@EthansEntertainment I don't know how you managed to survive this long with such low inteligence, The fact that you cannot even spell properly and the fact that you are so fucking mad makes this all hilarious.

Also LOL, Blocked. Any further messages from you wont be recieved to my inbox. Feelsgoodman.jpg

[EthansEntertainment]

@BloXboX37 Look, faggot, go to hell. Stop spamming me. YOU started this, and YOU can END it. Just drop it. Besides, i don't check my spelling because I have better things to do then talk to you. INFIDEL! And the "LOL, Blocked" part. Is that supposed to intimidate me? Cause it's not working. This is my last message to you. You know why? I'll tell you. I'm sure you don't like me messaging you when you're trying to watch your gay porn. -EthansEntertainment

[funbag08]

i will say this now: i did not enjoy Fallout: New Vegas, not one bit. I beat the game in a hurry, because i wanted it over with, whereas in FO3 i had over 300 hours in one character before i decided to beat the game. I did not enjoy anything in FNV, because unlike FO3 the atmosphere was not well defined, and it was not as exciting.

Also, i get this unexplainable feeling when playing FO3 that FNV did not even come close to recreating. FNV was a fail in my opinion

[MANlAC451]

@funbag08 I haven't played new vegas yet but I think Bethesda was trying to tell two different stories in the same universe. Fallout 3 in my opinion shows how complete anarchy would be played out in the event of a nuclear holocaust, and i have to say that they captured that image perfectly. I think new vegas is meant to be aimed more towards the beginning of people starting to rebuild.

[TheMasterNull]

@MANlAC451 Well NV takes place in the West, where the Brotherhood and NCR have existed for quite some time. They've had much more time and resources to rebuild, such as Vault City and the like. The Capital Wasteland had 1 GECK, which was used in Project Purity, and all the Vaults failed, or were never meant to open. So the West had more things to rebuold with, and more time to do so.

[johnampedz]

@funbag08 AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DARTHMELL0N]

@funbag08 but there were some parts of FNV that were good, like the 4 distinct endings and tons of side quests that shaped the ending of the game.

[funbag08]

@DARTHMELL0N it's not the missions, it's the atmosphere or lack there of in the game

[pizywizy506]

@funbag08 Before I start, I want to say I'm not wanting to start a fight. FNV continues the story from FO2/ Tactics (I don't know the story of Tactics.) FO3 was made, in my theory, even though they owned the title, they did not own the Western Coast of the US. FNV was made by Obsidian, who's team consists of the original team. By now, Bethesda realized that they actually pissed off original fans, since they did not really give much nod to the original game. So what do they do?

[pizywizy506]

@funbag08 Now let's step back to Van Buren. Practically NV, but with more stuff. Sadly, it was cancelled. Next FO3, the check up on the East Coast, and last FNV. FNV is the bridge between the two games. It includes elements from FO/FO2, and the engine of FO3. It's not obvious, but FNV was mean't for the people who had played the first game, and had known the NCR, and all their stuff, long before people who were Bethesda fans before (no disrespect to Bethesda.)

[pizywizy506]

@funbag08 With that being said, FNV's job wasn't to continue Bethesda's story, it was to reconnect with 'traditional' Fallout, while keeping the new fans in. I came in during FO3, loved it to death, then played FNV, and loved it also to death. FNV then showed me the fact that even a great series can lose a few things, like you said atmosphere. But the environment you live in isn't alien to the character in FNV. The Courier was born in the wasteland, while The Lone Wanderer grew in a Vault.

[pizywizy506]

@funbag08 And that's pretty much why I enjoyed FNV.

[GageModel]

I want a Fallout movie. I'll pay triple standard admission fee.

[ChancellorRW]

The theme is perfect for this game, dark at the beginning feeling the tragdy of war then heroic how humanity will over come. Then the story of you and your adventures, it wraps the whole Fallout experience into two minutes. Awesome.

[Psomingno]

Awesome title again. Perfectly fitting for the song. Love it.

[Sombomombo]

you'd think that after falling back over the wastes of the united states, the Brotherhood of STEEL would've made at least a few tanks! Common Bethesda!

[Germanboy567]

@Sombomombo

The game engine isn't capable of vehicles. Also, liberty prime?

[Sombomombo]

@Germanboy567

Well, I mean one you can pilot. Not some self automated robot. still gotta say, it be as fun as hell wouldn't it?

[Germanboy567]

@Sombomombo

Sure would :P

[TheReaperPrez]

is there another possible name for this

[Munchausen123]

@TheReaperPrez - yeah INON ZUR - MAIN TITLE

[Utharas]

Fallout new vegas . . 18.5 hours away . . . .

[Agent1W]

@Utharas I was hoping I could import my FO3 character but he ended up catching an airship to fly on over...

[latexi94]

im on chills

[Newtamaki]

~Fallout 3 rocks.Period!

[ThurstonSmexyOakley]

This song is perfect for the game! It really adds feeling to what you are about to play. I both makes the blood rush and adds a certain reluctance in its powerful notes. You can feel the weight of your character as he endures the very worst when listening to this theme. (Thanks for posting it! X] )

[croioi]

Goddamn think about it, this would be THE perfect song for the intro of a fallout MOVIE! Fuck!

[CreedOfHeresy]

@croioi Agreed.

Also, there is something about the picture of this BoS soldier that is just incredibly intimidating. Probably one of the coolest pieces of game cover art in existence.

[SeCONdagenda1]

@croioi If Hollywood wants to make a shit load of money they should just make games into movies, fallout, bioshock, deadrising etc

[NuclearWarhead767]

@croioi I agree I'm imagining this playing while a narrator or something explains the history of how the wasteland and the vaults came to be... Or maybe it will play after hes done lol

[Radzjah]

@NuclearWarhead767 Yeah, the vaults should be explained the same way they did in the game. A light-hearted little animation of a happy family, and then a voice over of how things really went, with some black-and-white slides to go with it. After that, the music kicks in, and you see footage of how the wasteland looks now, in all it's vile and putrid glory!

[spaik007]

bethesda and bioware are the best

[WestDutchBoys]

i like this song

(very much)

espacially the first part

[jackoacko]

there is a title for this song it's called 'when the swallows come home'

[xDrJx]

awesome. thx dude!!

[erder3322]

1:38 MAN THIS song ist so awsome 1:38 best part ever ;)
