The GREATEST Minecraft Song You've HEARD, But Don't Know

The GREATEST Minecraft Song You’ve HEARD, But Don’t Know - Taswell.

Taswell is the 16th track of C418’s second Minecraft soundtrack album “Minecraft - Volume Beta”
This 8:35 minute track takes you on a journey, with it’s 2, mood changing halves.

The first, deeply eerie, uneasy, but surprisingly.. tiny bit comforting half is structured with ambient pads, a bass, and some extremely strange electronic noises, which spark that uneasy feeling alongside the pads.

But, at the 3:45 Minute mark, everything switches upside down.

The second, calming, rapidly building up in chaos, adventurous half is structured with multiple instruments such as synths, rhodes, pads, drums etc. And THIS specific half, is what makes you have heard this song. But, how did you actually hear this song?

So to make this answer short, the reason why you have heard this song, is because of the time that you were playing creative mode in minecraft.

Two very important pieces of info about this song:


It’s put through some sort of looping thing and then played with an A-E-G-D progression, with the original pitch being G. After two rounds of that, it switches to A-E-G-lower B until the ending, where it just holds the B until the switch-up.


Secondly, this song was made by C418 in dedication to a friend (known as Taswell) who passed away. And it shows. That ending is such an compositional masterpiece. An emotional goodbye reflecting on the good times had.
And I can attest to this. I had a moment where I thought I was going to say goodbye to a friend and never see them again, and this song came on. The end of this song… I’ll just say it was a spiritual experience.

The ending of this song is a fucking masterpiece and is one of the most emotionally powerful pieces of music I’ve ever heard. I already had identified this song as one of my favorites on volume beta (which IS better than volume alpha by the way!!), but that experience really transcended everything. Just… everything.

Taswell is my favorite song in all of Minecraft. I was honestly shocked seeing how little people know of it's existence.

The one of most interesting things... Is that it's a FAREWELL song, in memory of Ryan Taswell Devis, so C418 putting good memories about him in it...

FINALLY SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT THIS SONG

[Alishka_Calm]

This is the best song in Minecraft, it is so divine, calm, atmospheric and fantastic.
After listening to the beginning of Taswell, everything immediately became clear to me - this is the greatest soundtrack of Minecraft.
Taswell = Paradise theme

jokes on you, Taswell is one of my favorite Minecraft songs and i could never forget it

[fishman]

Taswell is my favorite song ever created, and that only happened because one day I was browsing spotify and got it recommended to me in a daily mix. I initially thought it was some random ambient song that was album exclusive, but I gave it a chance.

AS soon as that second half kicked in, the memories came flooding back. Playing in creative mode on my dad's crappy old laptop with my brother beside me and we built whatever we wanted. Creative mode Minecraft was truly something that has defined my life. It got me in touch with my artistic side and I am proud to say I am now moving on in my life to being a game designer. I even used this song as the background music to my slideshow of pictures at my high school graduation, and it has now become possibly the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

If C418 is out there in this comment section, reading this, thank you. Even in a time where the future of Minecraft is looking more and more bleak by the day, we always have the memories created by your music to go back to.

"'Taswell' is a farewell to a friend I only met for a little bit, but they passed away faster than anyone could have imagined. It was shocking, but I didn’t want to remember them for their death, but the happiness they showed every day of their life." -C418

i was sitting here thinking i was watching atleast a 100k plus youtuber, when i noticed you only have 300subs, You have so much potential man! Never stop, this video was so good!

[randapanda]

Taswell is one of my favourite tracks along side Dreiton, Alpha, and Blind Spots

[medevialpuppet]

Yes! Taswell is absolutely the best Minecraft song. The first half never creeped me out though and it's my favorite part. It sounds godly.

I am one of the few people who know Taswell. I spent a lot of time playing creative when I was younger so I heard these tracks a lot. After I started playing survival, I was confused as to why some of the songs I loved weren’t present. I didn’t realize that creative and survival have slightly different tracks. One day, I played creative and heard this song first and went on an 8 minute emotional trip. I immediately started searching for it and after finding it, I genuinely cried. I actually made a resource pack to add the creative tracks to survival and mostly for this one song. It is genuinely something special.

[Klinbee]

I'm so glad to see someone else appreciate Taswell. I rediscovered it (actually knowing the name of it) in January of either this year or last year. It's impactful, it's a journey. It's powerful I absolutely love it so much. You can really feel the energy and emotion from which the song originated from.

[BrokenScript]

After like 7 YEARS, i finally found this soundtrack, It played in creative on my ps3 so much, and it gave me so much nostalgia after listening to it again

[proselo]

Taswell is my favorite for sure, it gives me hope and and a weird kind of energy, the best one is taswell too but also the most underrated one

[ebrucan]

Taswell is without a doubt, one of my favourite pieces of music ever composed.

[haumea]

Taswell has always been my favourite creative track. And I absolutely preffer the electronic Beta tracks over the Alpha ones.

[Wayrail]

I'm honestly unable to connect with the title of this video, i've known almost all of the Minecraft songs in the soundtrack as I liked to play a balance of creative and survival. I also personally don't think the first part ever felt 'eerie' but moreso 'ethereal'. it was calming, but it also felt otherworldly, which is something people can indeed find a bit spooky.
also, incredible work on the editing, this was without a doubt a professional and pleasant viewing experience, hopefully your work will payout sooner rather than later!

[CaptBlock]

When I first heard this song while playing creative I was so captivated by the second half that I almost immediately rushed to YouTube and searched something like "minecraft creative songs", found a compilation and scrubbed through it until I found the second half of Taswell. The song immediately went into my playlist.

I listen to taswell lopped and it makes my soul weep
