Something you've really got to give props to is how perfectly Harry matches the instrumentals to the original Portal soundtrack. The combination of more traditional and orchestral instruments with synthesizer added along with it gives it that extra Portal feel to it. Listening to one of these instrumentals sounds like your listening to a score from the official soundtrack. Amazing work as always, Harry.

That's why I have complex feelings for this song. I usually don't like to see people tampering with what I tend to consider "classics". But this is just so incredibly well executed that I actually like it. So I'm hating on it because I hate myself for not hating it, if that makes sense.

I like how portal has been out for like a decade and he still makes entertaining content out of it. I salute the true man of culture. Thank you harry. EDIT: I edited this comment

The thing he does differently is he drops the whole masterpiece he doesn't leave the shell of the masterpiece behind that's 30% more masterpiece

Just the vocals really sends it home that the facility is vast, empty and its just turrets to keep the subjects company

Really lovely instrumental, it really works well in the Portal style.

I love the instrumental version of this so much. It's not as though I haven't watched the real version 50 times, but more that without the actual sounds of the Turrets singing, I can notice the small nuances of camera motion on strong downbeats. It's such a subtle nod to how we interpret sight and sound harmoniously. But it's so easy to miss because of how fluid it is. Harry, if you're not already part of a video editting department SOMEWHERE, the world has suffered a loss. Your absolute attention to subtle details is what transforms this from Excellent to as close to Perfect as Source Film Maker can allow. Next time you watch this (because everyone should multiple times) pay attention to how long Harry pulls the camera back. How seamless he does it at 2:03 when the turrets are aiming, zooming in at the moment it fires and the music hits a strong chordal downbeat. Again at 2:22 with "Un"- der stand, where you zoom in as the turrets open, making them feel like they've swelled across the screen. At 3:01 when the light turns green with a *ding* that you assume for a moment to be from the light, not the background music. It's incredible how much work has been pumped into this video.

Thank you very much for the kind words! It's nice to know those little touches get noticed, even if it's only subconscious for a lot of people! Whenever I make a project like this, I time every single camera cut and movement to the music, before even the vocals are recorded or mixed in, so it's definitely something I think about very early in production. ^_^

@@Harry101UK man, it shows. Particularly because it's so natural.

The other day I had an idea. A crazy idea. Aperture Science Home Ec? The H.E. testing initiative? I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out! Cooking and baking with Atlas and P-body and maybe some cores as well? It seems a little un-Aperture-y on the surface, but don’t forget about how in Don’t Say Goodbye, GLaDOS talks about baking like she actually knows what she’s doing, and in your animation for Detach the Wheatley Core you can see ovens like what we have on the surface. Ok maybe it is a little ridiculous but I think it could be good, if executed properly, and lord knows that best person for that would be you. At first I thought it would be best as a game, but now that I’m thinking harder about it, I think it could work as just one of the like 10-minute videos. Just wanted to put that idea out there. Thanks for reading.

Could you imagine this as a live instrumental offering as a concert?? Its so strikingly beautiful and soul hauntingly astounding at the same time. This blows most "popular" songs out of the water

Without the background instruments, it just sounds like an actual piece of a portal game, like the quartet etc

Now this is an actual classic.

I love the new content you make out of the old Portal game. Especially when you mix my favorite song with one of the best games ever. What will come next? „The cores of the Caribbean“? Please! That would be so cool! Anyways THANK YOU fore the good videos you make!

Harry uploads: Everybody: good decision.

You are the reason I'm absolutely falling in love with the cores!! I didn't even play Portal back in the 2010s and yet I discovered this year's later, the cores are BLESSINGS to my Robot obsession!

I had to hear the music by itself. Glad I did - I didn't quite catch how you worked the feel of Portal's soundtrack instruments in there. Love it. Well done!

You are such a content creator u deserves more then a "Million" subscribes keep it up we love your content

im so glad you still do these

Wasn't paying attention, and then the transition from instrumental to acapella happened. T'was _nice._

Also amazing job!! Love this song

The calming music at the start truly conveys that this is going to be a start of something great!

Ngl, the instrumental is kinda calming

The acapella portion is so hauntingly beautiful.

is there going to be an animation breakdown? i would really love to see one because they actually help me improve a lot in sfm

This makes me calm...

Nice use of the Portal harp. People always forget about the non-synth instruments of Portal 2.

Ahh thank you so much. I was hoping for an instru and here it is. I love it.

Thank you for making this. It sounds so hopeful.

such a great song

The music is quite haunting. I'd love to see a live orchestral version of this 😍

amazing video as always, Harry!

I don't actually know anything about Portal or other video games, I'm just here because my friend promised this channel had cute robots, and he wasn't lying. This is amazing work. I would like to give Fact Core and the turrets a hug. They seem very trustworthy.

I listen instrumental version again and again. It's so beautiful! I very like full version too but I can't stop playing this music on repeat!

Love it. As always great work.

great quality as always! thank you harry!

So calming

Can we just admire that Chell wore heels during both Portals?

This is absolutely brilliant. I think it deserves millions of views.

I just discovered your channel last night, but I have fallen so deeply in love with your content. I am honestly shocked that in the many years you’ve been doing this, there’s been no opportunities to partner with Valve and a TV network to make this its own series. You guys deserve the highest levels of funding for these incredible projects.

I love these, thanks Harry

Perfect time to notice this video as I need to sleep and boy is this good music

This was beautiful!

Never ceases to make me happy seeing these videos. :)

2020 is bringing back so many you tubers I love it

At first I thought it was just a non-lyrical song and then the acapella hit and I was blasted with amazement

So nice to see that you still do portal related stuff ❤️

Thats my most FAVORITE song from you

The video quality is freaking insane in good ways

Man, if I could get hands on the vocal harmonies only, this would make a lovely karaoke track. (yes I know the instrumental is right there for the snagging, but to have background vocals sans the primary melody would be CHOICE!)

*Back at it again with the Portal videos*

It's fascinating and delighting, that Portal 2 content keeps being made. The game is running a legacy and it's a shame has never been continued. If a Portal 3 was announced, I'd go NUTS!

Noble prize Harry10, Noble prize!

Just. Beautiful

Harry: Upload another video Me:eh whatever Harry: Upload portal video Me:faster than lightning

Everyone look we need to calm down on the request spamming he is a busy guy give him some time okay? Harry please read this: I get your a busy guy but for going home 2 but I think 7 Years is a little over the top for 1 animation so I hope it comes out soon. Thank you for you amazing animations and time you have spent doing these things for us :).

Great video Great song Great channel As always...

The fact that the music can be truly appreciated without the lyrics and the lyrics haunt your soul without the music is a testament to the true mastery that went into every beat of this creation. Its like watching the creation of David but in musical format instead of in marble. God, I LOVE EVERY BIT of this ❤ 🙌 ♥
