I’ve very fond memories of leveling my draenei back in this zone. The quests were pretty cool for their time. I loved the chain that involved learning the language of the furbolgs. And the ending with the elite blood elf mobs which requires a whole group to do was epic if you could get some people together to do it, not to mention it gave crazy experience and awesome rewards. More than anything however, this song reminds me of being 17 again, sitting in my room with the window open during warm summer nights, feeling the breeze through the curtains as I level during the middle of the night. I was almost in a trance-like state, going from quest to quest, not even feeling hungry or tired because I was so mesmerized and immersed in the game. Good times, good memories.

The Naaru have not forgotten us...

I still come back at least once a year to listen to this. It only gets better with time .

Each day is a blessing...

In a Galaxy far far away, a foreign race crashed on a very suspicious planet...

This is some of the most profoundly nostalgia music for me, even having played since 2004. When TBC came out, it's hard to describe. I burned out on the greatest video game I''d ever played about a year and a half into it. Took a long vacation, and suddenly there was an explosion of new things in this game that had taken over my life. After 8 months or more, it was an oasis in a desert. Also, my mother had died that August, I was only 25. I suddenly was alone in life but had 90 thousand in life insurance. I did things in life I'd never done before just to do them. The morning I bought TBC at midnight, when the sun came up, it was snowing heavily. And I decided to go for a 3 mile walk in the snow listening to this soundtrack on my ipod. I'd not yet played the game and I usually never spoil the music, but the way I associate these songs with the very emotional walk in the snow, it's some of the most calming and soothing and serene music I've heard. It made me fall in love with the Draenei. When I saw the beauty of their starting zone, it was love at first sight, even to this day it impresses me.

A friend of mine introduced me to WoW when I was 50 :) This was the first place I landed and I was hooked form day one. Really lovely music

the best game soundtrack ever made. just my opinion tho.

I literally have this on repeat every night to sleep, and have done for the several years.

Number of times I've gone to sleep to this music...pure peace.

Open your heart to the light.

This zone is an absolutely amazing masterpiece of art. The emotions it gave me when I first leveled through with my first draenei is unspeakable. No other video game could spark emotions in me like this game could. That feeling of magic, mystery and adventure. Still unmatched to this day.

18 people have forgotten by The Naaru

oh the the nostalgia..... I spent hours in that area to farm that blood elf mask...just to get enough money to learn 100% speed mount riding skill ...good times....I could cry

When I graduated from my junior high school,my teacher gave me a card,there are something he wanted to say to me.He said he is a Draenei in WoW,and the most important is……he said "May the light be with you". I was so excited,and then I cried.I really like that teacher.

Some of the best video game music ever made. Emotional and immersive. This was the golden era of WoW

We are sailing on dreams of gods....

I remember when TBC launched, heading over to Bloodmyst/Azuremyst as a Belf to try grind out the blood elf bandit mask(it was like the defias one but with gold trimmings). I'd often pause in Azuremyst to listen to the music. Later on I leveled through the zone as a Draenei. It had some really great and entertaining quests, against this consuming score playing in the background. You can almost imagine the Draeneis' struggle in a new world with a completely foreign environment. There's something deeply mystical about the tune too. Blizzard really nailed the music sometimes.

This is probably one of the best melodies in WoW. This together with Grizzly Hills.. I wan't grizzly hills for my wedding! Haha!

pack your bags,kids,we're going on a feels trip,especially if you know the story.man,you can feel the pain of the draenei...

I don't think any game will make me feel what WoW made me feel. I am happy because of that, but kinda sad too...

WoW music is like a time machine back to my college years for me. Failed exams and skipped class pretty much one entire year, around when WOTLK came out. Worth it, absolutely worth it. Thank you Blizzard, for these great times and memories.

What truly made me enjoy World of Warcraft was the fact that I wasn’t so jaded. I didn’t know everything about the game and I didn’t want to, but as the years passed I explored every single aspect of the game, and it all became dull and boring. I long for the time where the world felt mysterious, and things were fresh and exciting, but I don’t think I’ll be able to feel like that in any MMO anymore. WoW was my childhood growing up, nothing will ever compare.

I love exodar and it's beauty and the relaxing music, while I created my 1st draenei paladin I felt I was a real draenei and that's my home! non of the cities and races could give the feeling! "May the light embrace you..."

I think the Azuremyst Isle music is just very peaceful. I sometimes make a Draenei just to listen to the music. It's so relaxing. Especially if I'm in a horrible mood.

I used to come to this zone just to listen the music and relax :p Best soundtrack IMO along with Zangamarsh from the entire TBC and TBC had excellent soundtrack...especially SWP and BT music.

Good old times now forever part of us. Like the mist on the horizon, elusive and ever shifting but always present in our memories. All those moments shine like a distant lighthouse in the sea of life reminding us of friends we've made and adventures we had. I am so happy I was part of it. Peace !

My original nostalgia. The first zone I played was Azuremyst. Aah, the memories.

This song reminds me of hours and hours of farming Blood Elf Bandit masks for selling on AH to FINALLY get some money for the things I need. It was the easiest way to make money at low levels. =D

Still so beautiful all these years later. Really feels like a time long forgotten to me World of Warcraft. I really did love The Burning Crusade

the reason why draenei is my favorite race is because of this zone. i absolutely loved the draenei quest, and lore. it's so erie and beautiful at the same time. and this music is just breathtaking. i also love bloodmyst isle too. i think that blizzard should make more native / indian like zones like this.

Don't ever change this place Blizzard. It's legacy shall live on.

This brings me back to the days of levelling my Draenei which I still play now in Legion. Love this music and the Draenei are my favourite race. The Naaru have not forgotten us. Also, love the touch of the Draenei Shaman in the lower left hand corner with Lightning Shield

remembering the music I felt very old. The best years were given to warcraft. nostalgia((

Simply the best period of WoW here, the nostalgia is strong in this one. I keep going back to this game to relive the feeling, but it's all been watered down and hurried along now.

This game put me in a trance as a kid. A total mental world of fantasy. Pure fantasy. But it felt so real at the time. I never thought I would lose it. It just sort of faded away. This music resembles the echo of a dying dream in my mind. Life is a trip. God is good

Blood Elves also remind of the 18th century French a bit, with the extravagance of their architecture and their 'Sun King'. Also, their architecture looks like Art Nouveau. The 'modern' Night Elf architecture reminds of the Japanese, and their more ancient architecture looks Greco-Roman.

This was the first thing I remember about that game. I no long play because life, but I cannot forget Azuremyst. Best place ever. Thanks for the fantastic music.

I remember just being so drawn to the Draenei and the story around it, it was so mysterious and it felt so magical. And first journeying out of the starting zone into the forests and looking at the different places and then this music accompanying me through it all... there is no words to describe what vanilla wow made me feel, but I will forever remember my adventurers through these wonderful lands. :)

This is by far some of my favorite music in WoW. It's so calming, and fits Azuremyst so perfectly that I enjoy coming back from time to time, just to roam around and listen.

Long live....Long live the Draenei!!!!!!! God how I miss the old days of wow...Just to think when BC launched I could not stand them until 3 months after launch....Now Bluegill faded into the history books lol I love this music...Then again if there is one thing wow had was some damn stunning stages and damn awesome music scores!!!!!!!

this is the soundtrack i listen when i have a hard time getting asleep. it always worked so far. the soundtrack of Eversong woods and teldrassil will do too hehehe

This song make me cry every time I listen to it... Remember my first character, Such a good time !

I'm not Alliance, but i love to visit this place so now and then in a peaceful manner :> I think the tauren and draenei could be very good friends actually~! Poor draenei, they've been through so much... :(

It's used in Draenor! I was so happy that to hear it again! :) I just love this piece of art. Everything about the Azuremyst Isle is perfect. The music, the looks, the feels..it gives me chills :)

I swear half of the views must be me, I fall asleep to this every single night

The Draenei and the associated art, music, and visuals is a timeless masterpiece of fictional lore ever produced. Blizzard hit out of the park when they created the Draenei race and all effects for them. "Open your heart to the light!"

Years later and I still use this + rain ASM sounds to fall asleep XD

This makes me miss WoW so much. I started playing the game in TBC and the whole entire zone of Azuremyst has some of the fondest memories for me.

This is very sad for me. This music marked the time when I left WOW for good. I was a fully pvp 80 undead lock and used to sit in the bridge between azuremyst isle and the blood one listening to this music while studying for exams. Then life started to be too much work for me to dive aimlessly inside this game and I quit. Will never forget the best moments ever!!

perfect for meditation :3

This is by far the best soundtrack in WOW imho. I love the gentle, ambient sound. Sometimes I just login with a low level Draenei just to enjoy the atmosphere...

I dont play wow anymore, but i use these soudtracks when i meditade. Pure sounds for your mind, heart and soul!

The chills are real :´)

Love this compilation and I am coming back to it atleast once a year. Nothing can chill me out like this. Thanks for posting it those 10 years ago.

I played years ago and the Drainei music makes me to imagine Atlantis or Lemuria...

It might sound strange, but I like to listen to this music in bed before sleep and pretend I'm actually there in Azuremyst Isle in some kind of Draenei camp. Nestled in my Runecloth duvet and looking up at the countless stars beyond the towering canopy above me. I sleep within minutes.

I was always a Horde player, listening to this now makes me think i've missed quite a bit. Hats off to Blizzard.

After all these years when I am having trouble sleeping, I will put this on repeat and sleep like a baby.

Super underrated.

Ngl I'm a die hard horde fan been that way since early 2004, listening to this track was a treat for me. I'd hop over a few low lvl ally boats and just roam the coasts and forests for hours fishing n stunting on Allys who would step up all while talking to friends on vent. Nostalgia doesn't give nearly enough credit to this feeling I have listening to these haunting yet honorable sounds, Well over a decade later.

This is my favorite most chill starting zone. ANyone who likes this type of ambient relazation music should check out the artist Anugama. His stuff sounds a LOT like this.

No comments on this amazing video? Well, I've just got to say... thanks for uploading it. It's really, really beautiful and incredibly soothing.

I listen to this some nights, just slowly falling asleep dreaming away to the TBC times when questing in Azuremyst isle. It makes the nostalgia and memories of the area so present. I remember creating a lot of characters just to experience it all over again, it was truely a masterpiece of a game.

Really hypnotic.

I love it...good old times.... will never forget. For the Alliance!

Always loved this music. Early WoW was a true treasure trove for stuff like this. It also reminded me of B&W2's music quite a bit.

It's beautiful this, somewhat sad, like some paradise that you can see but never be, like a dream.

I always loved the music of Azuremyst Isle. It is so ethereal and other-worldly, a great fit for the Draenei!

Amazing sooth music. I could listen to this for hours and hours..and I have.

Yep here my adventures started as big clumsy draenei mage

Deep, meaningful track, absolutely in love with that

I'm mostly a horde player, but goddamn this is one of my favorite starting zones. The music and scenery is amazing

The best time of WoW, closely followed by Vanilla. Best additional races. Best story. Best raids.

all the memories...

I remember the first time i've created a draenei. I just stood like... i don't know, 15 minutes, doing nothing but listenning the music

I love the use of the Daduk instrument. The Draenei are very much like the Armenians. They lived side by side with another race but were massacred, and migrated far away. Deeply religious. They worship the light but in the Naaru form, just like the Armenian church is a different version of christianity. Their names too it seems do sound Armenian.

Damn dude , so many feelings just in one video.I don't even know how to explain my feelings. This soundtrack was made by God or something? DRAENEI RULES!

It's good to see a passion for this kind of music. Draenai are peaceful and cool and the whole 2 isles remind me that life on other planets far out in the distance could he like that.

Although I mainly play horde the Draenei will always be my favourite race

I love this soundtrack even more in Shadowmoon Valley. It fits so well with the sleepy atmosphere of the place, aswell as the beautiful Draenei buildings

man... i miss world of warcraft :( i don't wanna see level 1 people in their heirloom gear riding their mount from quest to quest. i wanna see people in bad armor asking high level players to help them fight a boss...

Wow. I remember when I started playing WoW, just when Cataclysm had released. I was 11. And I looked at all the races and classes, and decided to go for a male Draenei Mage. And I remember just walking around this zone, not understanding a thing, listening to this music, while talking to my best friends over Skype. Listening to this now, 11 years later, is so weird. The nostalgia is such a special feeling. This game was so amazing, and I really miss it sometimes. Nowadays, it’s easy to understand how simple and great life was back then. Life is nice now as well, but it’s hard growing up. WoW has given me a really good childhood.

Just want to drop by again and say how this is my favorite WoW track. I think they took some Hindu inspiration in creating the Draenei, maybe the music I can't say for sure. But this music is just...perfect. I use it for doing my homework religiously.

Makes me sad listening to this a childhood that I never knew meant so much to me until it was gone, I used to find it hard to level there with new characters just because the sheer nostalgia that I missed could never be rekindled.

Apart from the game(which I played between October 2006 until may 2012), I especially choose this track when I had this highlight in my life. Five years ago I was struggling through life in a bad relationship which already lasted for 13 years, work I didn’t like etc. Then my gf left me, I got sacked from this employer I worked 17 years for(worked my way up). So left with nothing, then I stumbled on this track(once more), drank a cheap bottle of liquor 43 and decided to things differently Now, five years later and I met this beautiful, smart woman, married her! She already had a good position as a biologist with accordingly job. I reinvented myself, now I’m doing very well. We bought this mansion which we both thought we would never even own in our wildest dreams, but the moment we set foot in it, we both played this track immediately! Life is.... well more then just a box of chocolates ;)

Idk.. This music makes me feel like they were actually thinking about what they were creating... The culture and minds of the new races that were released.. And feel of the different zones... Hrm. :/ Was all lost in cata.

The new expansion Warlords of Draenor brings all of my memories from this isle back to mind. I always played on low populated servers, so it felt as if I was the only one to hear this music whenever I was on the isle. It was always so calming and warm, like the music was somehow talking to me. Now that I think about it, the Naaru was probably communicating to me :P

Golden age of gaming. Nothing will top Vanilla-TBC.

i remember running home and flying down the stairs just to play one of my many alts good times

So peaceful

Thank you, for uploading this, its a celestial piece of art, with a melancholy touch, resembeling the tragic story about these people. I like to get blazed to this and it's a everlasting favorite of mine. Peace & prosparity to you.

This music is the most relaxing music I've ever heard. I remember my first draenei and it was so amazing levling it to this beautiful music.

We all must admit that Blizzard is amazing when it comes to the lore and soundtracks, just listen and remember the lore behind azuremyst isle and appreciate the true experience of the game.

So beautiful!!!! Already loved therace, now totally in love with their music

Out of all the fine soundtracks blizz made, this one is the most ambient in my opinion. When it first came out it was one of my favourites for doing homework, that was 8 years ago xD now it still serves purpose when i need to meditate before sleeping.

Omg same this basically describes my exact situation that I couldn't seem to put in words. I miss the feeling so much, it's not that the game is bad now, it's that it lost its aspect of mystery to me. I want that back

It gives me chills, positively. Makes you imagine a misty, dark, cold, or a winter forest.

Thanks for uploading this. Brings back memories. I just wish my friends would want to play again.

This is sooo relaxing to listen. Always give me good memories back in the starting zone
