C418 - Minecraft Volume Beta - 16 Taswell

I do not own this song, nor the image. I am fully complacent with any requests made by C418 to remove this video, and I do not condone the download of this video, which YouTube has prohibited.

Feel free to give a little extra :), C418 tries hard to make this amazing music.

I love the way that this song doesn't really repeat any beats throughout the song.  It's as if the song is slowly evolving over the span of 8 minutes.

For those of you who don't know, Taswell was made for Ryan "Taswell" Davis, an editor for GameSpot and co-founder of Giant Bomb who passed away back in 2013.
C418 wants to remember him for the happy memories they've been through together, hence the happy and uplifting beat on the second half.

Long story short: It's a farewell song.

[Riseo]

My favorite song in the whole game, is this one.

people don't give C418 enough credit - he's an incredible musician. Taswell, The End and Dead Voxel are ambient masterpieces through and through. if this weren't video game music, everybody would be hailing this album as one of the greats in ambient music and IDM.

but those people will change his mind after hear this song.

[Shregurun]

I read this from another comment:
The first half of Taswell is a funeral.
The 2nd half is a celebration of life.

I think the creative mode ost represents the emptiness of the world and the potential things the player can create

[RTRC_]

Taswell is already one of my favorite tracks in the OST, but 6:42 just hits different for me. The arpeggio, melody, and chord stabs all working together to create such a cool sound that I can't get enough of.

[rjmario]

it's so hard to listen to this without getting emotional.

[DasKomet]

An incredible tribute to Ryan "Taswell" Davis, from Giant Bomb, who passed away on July 3rd. Thanks, C418. You're the best.

Taswell is one of those tracks that make you go:

HOW ISNT THIS IN SURVIVAL?

[gagethepropcollecter]

At 8:08 where those few notes fade out just makes me want to cry, it's eerie yet so beautiful
It feels like finally letting go of something, knowing you'll never see it again and watching it fade before you

[Shoob__]

I always dreamed flying with wings in minecraft. Now it's been come true, the Elytra.

[DrDunsparce]

I feel that this song is criminally underrated

[MegamindtheGOAT]

Me: Yeah man lets build that house tomorrow
My friend: Yeah totally

7 years later: Still in the same world cause we played the entire time.

[SouloDoloMusic]

I'm sure C418 will never see this, but this song helped me through extremely serious depression back in winter of 2017. This song brings me back to that time, but not in a bad way. It was basically my lifeline for hope and distraction from life; the only positive thing I had going for me.
I thank you, man.

[jnne]

the goosebumps that minecraft’s music gives me, holy shit

[nananananana]

How is it possible to create something this fucking beautiful

[jkerman]

This music is just perfect. Just the echoes, the pitching, the...

I'm 99% sure the other people here are feeling the same way I am. But I feel like expressing my feelings here.

It just evokes so many memories. I've done so much while the minecraft music is playing, it's all very nostalgic.
