Understanding the Music of Minecraft

Ойындар

In this video, I analyze Minecraft's soundtrack in an effort to understand why we connect with it so well.
Listen to the Minecraft soundtrack on Spotify:
Minecraft Volume Alpha - open.spotify.com/album/3Gt7rO...
Minecraft Volume Beta - open.spotify.com/album/7CYDRy...

    I think what is great is the fact that the music doesn't non stop play while playing, so when it does, you appreciate it and it never gets annoying.

    i started minecraft back when the nether reactor was a thing and when the actual nether came out, and i heard dead voxel. That is when i realized the grim reality of the at the time new place set in. Now, Voxel is just a reminder of an easier time, a time when we could all just hangout and have fun. Now look at us, stuck in the middle of a pandemic, Forced to wear a piece of cloth over our faces and leave our friends. God i miss 2011.

Which makes since even more, because of the advancement Uneasy Alliance. Ghasts are trapped in the nether. This is why they cry, and why their song is one of the most horrifying and heartbreaking.

    My brother and I wanted to kill the Ender Dragon after a long time of holding it out in survival. When we finally came into the end and that exact song you mentioned came in, I recognised it from the full soundtrack, I recognised that it was that song, because it sounded like the normal Minecraft theme but distorted. Then when we took down all of the healing crystals, and we finally started with taking down the dragon, and at that moment the epic beat that I can't really describe kicked in. I don't know if you understand what I am talking about, listen to the soundtrack (The End) at around a little more then 8 minutes. While that music played, we fought the dragon and it was one of the most hypeful and at the same time very grand and terrifying moments we had ever had in the game. Hearing all those overworld songs again, all distorted but still recognisable, made the whole fight extra great and grand. Man this game gives you the feels...

    @@_havien3 Pigstep obviously doesn't fit in with the general atmosphere created by C418's and Lena Raine's other compositions for the Nether, but this song should by no means be taken as a part of the Nether's soundtrack. It's a music disc. You acquire it as a reward from clearing a specific location that would be otherwise impossible to obtain. Just like the other records, they're meant to be aspects of Minecraft's ost extrapolated and exaggerated to the nth degree. The same way pieces like Stal, Blocks, Cat, or Ward would be completely unfitting if they played as normal Minecraft music but work so well as records, Pigstep is too. You're allowed to still dislike Pigstep, of course, but I just felt like explaining why Pigstep shouldn't be disliked for the specific reason of "it's unfitting."

But you actually put effort into this. You tried too convey how each piece makes you feel. Even showing a bit of understanding of music yourself. This also clearly took some real effort. You should be applauded for conveying in a wonderful way what clearly means a lot too you. Thank you for that.

    Actually listening to the music from the end made me think of something. The nether isn’t another dimension, it’s just the planets mantle, hence the kinda similar but more grungy music. The music in the end is a distorted and jacked up version of the main theme. So what if the end isn’t another dimension, but the end. What if the end is what’s left of the planet, years and years into the future?

    When I was about 12 I was playing minecraft with my brothers and my sisters and having a blast. We were building a house for my sister who had just joined us and fighting each other to see who was the best. That day has been one of my favorite memories by far, not because of the fun we had or who I was playing with, but because of the songs that played. All the songs from clark to Minecraft played and they just bring so much joy to me when I hear them. I feel like the songs aren't memories you can tweak but rather memories that are implanted and kept the same forever. And thats what makes the music so fascinating that every time you hear it you feel that feeling that almost everyone that has played minecraft have felt.

    The End was AMAZING as it set the feeling for the islands ahead, it took a completely encompassed how I felt when I entered for the first time in Survival. When the heavier synth began to kick in, I was amped up to finally escape. I do want to hear one thing though: What do you think of the new Nether tracks? I'm always interested in all the varied synths and the fact that they seem to fit greatly with different biomes there. Lena Raine was the perfect person for the job, she know how to create emotional tracks no matter what the instruments. It reminded me of many experiences, from Starbound's "Tranquility Base" to Black Mesa: Xen's "Hunting Grounds".

    I can only regret having turned off the music during my return to this game. I felt a sad sense of nostalgia wash over me hearing the title screen music, and it was a tonnnnnn to handle. I grew up on Minecraft, and the background songs of this game have me wishing I could go back and relive the memories of being a child. It saddened me knowing that those memories are all I have. However, as of recent, I've been on-and-off about keeping the soundtrack playing. Usually, I disable it if I'm listening to something else but if I have nothing to listen to, that bad boy goes on. The points here about the timing of the music could never be more true. This video might cause me to break out of my shell and face my fears of new memories being created head-on. Thank you Liam.

    Holy crap dude. I've been meditating on how the music of minecraft makes me feel in every aspect of the way it presents itself. Everyday it haunted and stung me in the back of my mind with sweet and sour notes of nostalgia day after day, nostalgia and hopelessness... Nostalagia and hope and multiple shades of melancholic dissonance between reality and realm of thought, distractions etc. Nostalgia and melancholic attitude more complex theb the typical comments on youtube videos about remembering minecraft, it felt as if I was experiencing a glimpse of the conscious afterlife and the before-life and life beyond where I know not where it leads or how far it goes. I contemplated my life and meaning in general because of how the music reacted with intellect and spirit if I even have one. But anyways, I know I sound high off my marbles but I felt I should express myself and share a deeper thought beyond typical youtube comment thought. What I wanted to say earlier before I faded into an absurdism type rant, I just wanted to let you know that this video has helped me understand minecrafts music but also part of the hidden meaning I feel it has personally to me. Sorry for the pointless rant, cheers.

Nothing new, nothing eventful, nothing to love or be loved by, nothing... But by the end you finally do it. You can leave that horrid place forever.

I forgot the message of that, and hearing it again really drove home the message to live my life how I want to. Life is short. Too short. Shorter than you, the reader, may think. I’m already 19 years old, and it almost seems like yesterday when I was playing outside with my little brother on our tricycles and playing Minecraft for the first time. I realize that life moves fast. Too fast. To quote Ferris Bueler’s Day Off: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Thank you so much for this video. Minecraft means the world to me, and with the Nether and End tracks and the End poem, I realized what a masterpiece C418 has crafted for me and so many others. I’m gonna go life my life now, and make music, which I’ve wanted to do for years. Your video is one of the reasons I’m finally gonna live life like it’ll be gone tomorrow.

    I don't like it tbh... it just... isn't Minecraft, now as much as I hate it when people say that something isn't Minecraft, I'll just have to bend the knee here...

    @@dantelawrence4676 It feels like Minecraft to me. I get the same feeling of dread I feel when C418's nether soundtracks play. As far as Pigstep goes... well, it just feels like Nether's versions Stal for me.

    I loved the video Liam, keep it up! You have inspired me to play minecraft again, and seeing it from a different perspective.

    I've lost count of how many times I've watched this video. I keep coming back to it. Much like Minecraft and its music.
