80 people requesting deep stone lullaby incoming

[jerickgambrel]

The cat singing in the background is what gave me chills 😂

[fabiandeutschle]

The Music team of Bungie was always at peak, ever since Halo.
It's the 1 thing that never fails.

[christopherjamesamos]

In my opinion, the single best piece of video game music ever created. Walking over that ridge and seeing the burning city with those deep thumping drums was absolutely epic and heartbreaking at the same time.

[Meeko]

I love the cat in the background lol. He just wants to be heard!

[bobisoftk]

What's really great about it is it's the entire campaign in one song; loss and despair, resolve, getting checked on our progress, big confrontation, triumph, rebuilding and returning, and a long note out for what's to come.

[HammerdWalrus]

This track plays during the "Adieu" mission from the Vaulted Red War campaign. The part where it really kicks up is when you turn a corner and see the Last City, the place that was your home for the past 4-5 years under seige and burning. It was perhaps one of the best set pieces in a game ive seen personally.

[TCrimsont]

It's crazy how many years it's been since I've played the red war, but I can remember every single footstep my guardian took as this song was playing.

This song literally sums up the campaign in like 7 minutes. The loss, the despair, the hope the triumphs. Destiny's score has never ever ever missed.

[Vynirian]

every single time i listen to this track it brings tears to my eyes.

every single time.


one of the greatest pieces of music ever created.

[lego_]

man i will never forget hearing this for the first time playing the campaign and just the quiet as i was hobbleing out of the tower after it was Amazing writing, both in story and music!

[nvj]

Journey and the first mission of destiny 2 has a special place in my heart, I remember how emotional i was seeing the tower gets destroyed and dead guardians around the earth, i will never forget it 💔

[BlackLionRampant]

The horns at 4:36 are the main Destiny 2 theme. :) They use that leitmotif in almost every major piece, and especially during the most epic fight scenes. It's basically the protagonist's theme.

[SpocktorWH]

Playing through this day one release was so intense with this music. Wandering it the wilderness being hunted and powerless was intense

[ImJCyo]

I love that people are reacting to this one in particular. It was the main hook of the Red War for me, and the whole time this plays is just... apt. It's the best. I miss the Red War specifically for the journey portion, finding hope.

[JoshWocka]

Interesting! Your analysis of the intro being that it was like the groups are stumbling over each other, when that was what was occurring in game at the time of being introduced to this track. Our character was stumbling out a collapsed burning city.

[ArdentPrayer]

Michael Salvatori has been with Bungie for a LONG time while working with Marty O Donnell on the Halo and Destiny 1 soundtracks. He always knocks it out of the park. You should listen to 'Rise of Iron' from Destiny 1 by Michael Salvatori!

[BaldusCattus]

I like that your cat(s) enjoyed it too 😂
Found you randomly - looking forward to more Destiny (and cats)

[mrver]

This song manages to portray "It's so over" and "We're so fucking back" simultaneously.

[staffsargemobuto]

FINALLY, A REACTION THAT DOES NOT PAUSE THE SONG EVERY 15 SECONDS.

[anthonywolf]

My wife and I used this as the last pre-ceremony song at our wedding.
