The tragedy of a man loosing is only lovely daughter in front of his eyes and then seeing the love of his life dying infront of him at the same time and he can do nothing about it….this is the only thing that comes to my mind ….when I hear this beautiful yet heart wrenching masterpiece

[UlverEos]

everybody gangsta until the dead island theme comes on. Real talk tho, what a majestic piece. years later and it still resonates pure distress and heartbreak in the most beautiful way possible. bravo!

The older I get, the harder this song hits home. Dead Island doesn't deserve this gem, but I'll be forever thankful that it introduced me to it.

Techland: We need a good theme for the trailer of Dead Island, you don't have to go very hard.
Giles Lamb: Yes.

[OutdoorAlcoholic]

Giles Lamb went this hard for a zombie game. Strive to go that hard everyday in whatever endeavor suits you.
Thank you.

I can't believe they made this absolute masterpiece for a trailer.

To everyone here checking the comment section, YOU''RE A HERO.
I mean, come on, you were listening to this 11 years ago wondering if you would make it through the winter, and you did.
And you did again and again, so that's why you're still here, though barely breathing.

Every year I hope that I won't come back to this song 'cause I'm here everytime I feel like my life is about to end.
But this song, sounds only helpless to me, somehow makes me through every winter, makes me through all the suicide thoughs that come up from nowhere.

I know you're probably feeling worthless right now, but hey, we are here.
I may not be able to bring you the positivity you need, but I can suffer here with you and you can trust me, 'cause that's what I'm going through right now too.
You may or may not make it through this winter, BUT YOU'RE A FIGHTER, A WARRIOR, A HERO!! And I think that's beautiful.

This... this is absolutely beautiful. Thank you Giles Lamb for creating this masterpiece...

[tjreardon]

How the hell did none of them break into tears playing this

[stuffedwalrus]

Still one of the most beautiful pieces of music, never gets old, so full of emotion.

[KennethBoyd-sn]

I'm a 40 year old man and this this brought tears to my eyes. This piece still gets you in you're feels. Thank you Giles.

this song is so stunning and makes that trailer so epic. Im happy to see im not alone reading all the amazing comments and how this song touches people in so many different ways.

[travishunsberger]

Some day people will look back and know about this song, knew what it truly meant to us when we heard it.

A lot of songs i would want played at my funeral and this is one of them

[stevegill]

This has got to be the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard

[andric]

I would have beat the game for the sake of that family.

[Kango]

Imagine a trailer theme, not an in-game theme, but trailer theme being better than the entire franchise and spin-offs.

[daviibraim]

a wonderful song for a game that could have been something bigger once...but it never happened...

[MadAmmaD_]

I hate the fact that i searched for this and it wasn't recommended to me, it deserves much more attention.
YouTube do you thing and let the algorithm pick this masterpiece up
