'That melody'

What is that melody?

Sigma’s Theme (Overwatch main menu music)

For context this used to play on Overwatch 1 main menus when Sigma was just released.
(Official theme, I didn't make this)

Idk where all of you came from and why, but enjoy.

Hey quick little update since this video was getting a lot of attention, I added captions to the video. Hope this helps!

The part of his animation where he snaps to being afraid. Those Black Hole devices got unstable while he was unfocused. That's terrifying. Imagine what would happen if he didn't snap back into a persona who could handle them. It would be catastrophic.

So, ever since Sigma went insane, he's heard this random piano song in his head for years?
I'd go mad too.

[randomguy]

Love when he suddenly becomes aware and just looks around like “where the hell am I?”

[fartlol]

Ah thank you i was wondering what that melody was

Sigma is possibly the most interesting character in the overwatch lore. And also is like a literal god compared to everyone else but we will gloss over that.

Sigma- Has gravitational Powers from a Blackhole incident

Lucio- music man

"THE UNIVERSE IS SINGING TO MEEE!"
~Sigma

This sounds like a variation on Eric Satie’s “Gnossienne 1”. One of the most melancholy piano pieces I’ve ever heard.

I like how at 0:37 he’s just like “hold up, am I on a character select screen?”

Gravity... Gravity is a harness. My entire career has been devoted to this idea... to, this moment. Decades! If the unifying theories are correct, we will soon be able to harness the power of a black hole. Nothing will ever be the same! Why?! This is wrong! The field is failing-AHHH! W-What happened? W-Where am I? Why am I being imprisoned? Release me! What is that melody? Hold it together, h-hold it- hold it together, hold it together! Density... mass... momentum... It is too- It's too much to hold on to. I will bring you a new understanding of the uni- Violence! The universe is singing to me!!! What is that melody?!?! Freedom... Imprisonment... It's all an illusion.

Gravity is a harness. I have harnessed the harness.

I love that when you hover over him on the hero selection you can hear him play 0:23 love it

"That Melody" Is probably my favorite song (that's only with a piano).

I actually sat down and read through those captions, and I was pleasantly surprised with the contents. One of most relevant parts of them was the mention of how distracting the music tends to be for those hearing music involuntarily. The Hallucinations would distract them from focusing other other subjects, which is exactly what happens in this video: Sigma stares into the void (towards us, make of that what you will) and presumably is lost in the music, which causes his little battle balls to expand and make scary noises until he refocuses.

I love sigma, what a great character.

Imagine if Tracer talks to him and also admits that her experience has made her hear something.

[slishslash]

I like how when he loses focus, the black holes become unstable and he notices just in time the gravity of the situation and turns it down.

I'm in love with Sigma and I can't deny it.

Me at the age of 4 suddenly gaining consciousness

[Melodydameme]

[CallMeBungus]

Holy shit he looks right at us.

He can peer through other dimensions
