“I’m sorry this happened to you” is still one of the most powerful lines...you can see how despite him wanting to not believe what was happening reality was setting in, back when you could believe everyone could work together, but then a betrayal by a best friend, a governor, a cannibal, a warlord with a vampire bat, and now a whisperer permanently shattered those illusions

I forgot how beautiful this theme was.

This is still the best piece of music in the entire show IMO

"-Read your comic books a while, dad will be upstairs. ... -Daddy?. -It's alright Dwayne, you stay there son, don't you come up here."

I'm sorry this happened to you....

I still love The Walking Dead, but its not the same as it once was. Something about the first couple of seasons, and this episode especially, were so beautifully done that I don't think we could ever get back to that place on the show, even if they tried. This song is a masterpiece, and is definitely befitting of the episode.

I can even describe how many memories this song brings me back.....

It's sad that they don't use this anymore..

Yet another example of Bear McCreary at his finest.

Mad cheers to Melissa Cowan (aka the bicycle walker), who is still doing zombie-related roles and signings at conventions in support for her one-episode role on The Walking Dead.

So much love for this OST. I cry every time I hear this song in The Walking Dead. Such a beautiful melody

This played on the very first episode. Imagine them playing this on the very last episode.

I’m glad this song made a reappearance in the finale of this masterpiece

3:30 I completely forgot how beautiful this part of the song was until I rewatched the first episode just recently

i hope they they use this score again in a later season or episode. it's so heartbreaking to listen to

"I was supposed to kill her, my Jenny. But I let it go, let it go like there wasn't gonna be a reckoning"

This is when the walking dead was actually amazing, when the walkers where the threat it brought more tension than the saviors did.

This song needs to play in the very last moment of the very final episode of the very last season ever. Don't you all agree?

This is absolutely one of the most beautiful sound pieces I’ve ever listen to. Could listen to it 100 times and never get sick of it.

This theme is beautiful. Best theme in TWD. Hopefully they bring it back when Rick returns or in the last episode.

I really wish i could go back to being that 8 year old boy in 2010 the peace the happiness every sunday with my family the feeling this show brought me ill never forget it was the one time in my family there was no fighting no yelling just sitting and watching together im 21 now and the walking dead will forever be apart of my heart ive recently went back and watched through the seasons again and its still so beautiful even as an adult now i see and can feel and understand the show and characters even more

When the Walking Dead used to be top-notch television.

This theme is beautiful, it captures the overall feel of the earlier days of TWD, a broken but hopeful group of people trying to survive in a world that doesn’t want them, in a world that is out to kill them. Mercy of the living shows hope in a damaged but still beautiful that pushes the survivors forward, the feel of the older TWD seasons will forever be just that, now it’s rebuilding in a world that is healing slowly but surely.... Mercy of the Living is the them for seasons 1-8, A New Beginning is the theme for 9-present, now the hope that was once lost returned and now the rebuilding of civilization begins....

By far... the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard, I hope when my day comes, this is what I hear.

you know what made Season 1 differ a lot from the other seasons.. it was the fact that everyone seemed more human back then... not being the trained killers and survivalist they are now but more like still scared, paid respects to some of the dead they killed and how everyone seemed... I don't know they seemed more like the common people we meet today in society and not like in the present Walking Dead time..

It was this episode that got me hooked on this show. Never would I thought I would like a show like this but my son said it was great and I should watch it and I did. What was different is, it's a fight for survival and people who care for each other against such horrible odds. Morgan trying to put his wife down was heart wrenching, couldn't help but cry. You know it's a good show when it touches you like that. Well done.

This song is beyond beautiful, it touches a part of my heart and soul that no other song has, in my entire life.

Episode 1 is still the best episode in my opinion and this scene was the very best. As much as well all loved Negan as a character, Season 1 episode one was almost a masterpiece in a similar way to the movie 28 Days Later. Morgans scene here truly captured human emotion in a way you don't really see throughout the rest of the series. This show went from a potential masterpiece to a churned out, repetitive action soap/drama featuring zombies as a back drop.

This music makes you feel something...i'm not sure what it is for you...but the music makes you feel as saying goodbye to a longtime friend, watching them leave and realizing that this isn't the end. You will grow, you will better yourself. You may shed tears along the way, and that's okay. But the most important part is to remember that it happened and embrace it. Whether you lose a loved one, are struggling in life...their is always that one droplet of hope. That can sprout.....and grow into something beautiful.....

This scene still makes me tear up like a child

The Walking Dead is my Favorite show

When Rick Grimes dies, they MUST use this theme Mercy of the Living is the best of the best tracks in this show

Still the best "Theme"!

This theme, it’s so.... Mythical, this will always stay part of TWD. Whatever happens.

Yes two of the most powerful moments of the show when Morgan had to do this, and Rick says I’m sorry this happened to you season 1 and 2 were amazing

"I'm sorry this happened to you."

And now Morgan finally put his son down.

That bit where his wife walked into view of the rifle and he just couldn’t bring himself to finish the job… so much emotion for the very first episode of the series. Absolute perfect Pilot.

Stay' there" son" don't u come" up" here' - Morgan Jones 😔👩🏽‍🦱🥀🪦♀️⭕

You're on a roll this weekend! Anyway love love love this one, favourite 'theme' of the entire show

Amazing to play this in the background while riding the bike in Days Gone.

never gets old even after ten years.they should use this in the final episode of the walking dead.

This storytelling was the best out of the whole series. They took their time to get in depth with these characters, but now they just rush them to have no character.

Still one of my favorite scenes, the music is so perfect!!

This was the most profound scene of the series

Fun fact: They used this again in Rosita Espinosa's death scene where Eugene Porter was at her bedside comforting her and in Rick Grimes and Michonne Hawthorne Grimes return but in remastered versions.

The first time watching this, I was crying seeing how Morgan didn't shoot his wife

Underrated

Its like the unofficial theme tune to heaven.....

After a years, im listening again. İ forgot how beautiful this music. Amazing. TWD was best

Season 1 was really something special, wasn't it? Frank Darabont was an incredible incredible director/producer.

This Melody was also played in the episode of The Walking Dead in the prison, after Lori had died and Rick was hallucinating and saw her in the prison yard wearing the white gown and he saw her again inside the prison. It was such a surreal moment for Rick. Incidentally.. they should have played this melody when Rosita was dying and finally succumbed to her wounds while holding her son for the last time.

Why didn’t they use this piece of music more, it was amazing nothing comes close.

But I love the noises, that's why I came every time too you it's only on your Video just here with the background atmosphere ❤ because of the description...

They should bring this theme back.

The saddest part is this song played before the horse was introduced and not long after devoured by walkers.

“The world is a lot more quieter now, you just have to listen.”

Someone else uploaded this years ago (it was taken down) and it sounded like this pretty much, except the gunshots were muffled so they didn't, you know, make me think someone was trying to murder me while I was listening to the music XD

Unforgettable

They kind of used it for the last episode of Season 8. When Rick was giving his speech, you can pick it up some part of it.

Thank you, thank you so Beauty OST 😭😭😭😭😭

I listen to this religiously

This sounds like something out of "Halo: Combat Evolved".

I think we will hear it next season for Rick's last episode

It really shows the atmosphere of the early days of the apocalypse and how scary or sad the reality for the characters was

Been a year since TWD came to a close. 😢😭

IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VERSION FOREVER WITH THE SECOND HALF WHEN RICK SAYS "IM SORRY THIS HAPPENED TO YOU"

I hope they use this for ricks death scene

Omg I got chills This is the best theme in the entire show

Oh this is beautiful I feel like crying

Sometimes I watch this entire episode again, and I think this WD was awesome, I watched until the end of the third season, after that I grew up tired.

i remember hearing this song and immediately getting reminded of wandering flame from final fantasy 10

não é atoa que faz muitos derramarem lagrimas lembranças boas e lembranças ruins .. é tão grande minha dor que vou ser assim.

4:16 Gunshot 🔫💥

This muisc is beautiful

Classic nostálgic, memories 😔

Oh this is the song!! The song on Narcos "No amnesty" was reminding me of this.

came back to listen again and there's one dislike, come on seriously?

For some reason, this soundtrack reminds me Silent Hill. By the way, I can't help but cry in that Morgan's wife scene, Resident Evil and other zombies games/movies could make most of us think that killing a undead is easy, but not when this undead can be your parent/best friend or when you think that this undead was a good person when it was alive...

The moment the bullet was fired, I felt it through my chest. It shocked me as if I was the one who got shot.

Best OST of this show without doubt .

It's weird. I think this is the music playing when you enter the Gates of Heaven. Has a message of awe in it.

Morgan is one of the most interesting characters in the show

This played in season 11 episode 16 when Maggie and Hershel talk.

3:23 *Jumps out of chair* And I don't know what those sounds are at 2:44 but they scare the crap out of me >...< Other than that?! Fantastic theme!!!

I listen to this and I just think about every walker, their families, their families families modern society, normalcy, everything that we love and know, just… gone. They were just normal people, wanting to live their lives, they had dreams and ambitions and now they are gone, taken by a disease that turned them into mindless monsters, endlessly walking the earth forever. Regular people to police officers & Military Soldiers who had families, office workers, Postmen, bus Drivers, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and many more all gone. Forever. Turned into Creatures they didn’t want to become left to wander the Earth forevermore…

Empathy for the ones who fell.

Its the song fir dépression but is also very good song

Damn, first season of TWD, give me So much nostalgie

Gunshot daddy it's all right Dewan you stay there son don't you come up here

great song thank you

Something about this music. It’s just so sad!!

And now ..

I Lose People. Then I Lose Myself.

It'd be great to get a version of this without the gunshots. 3:24 to 4:17 is beautifully somber, and not anywhere else in any other version of this song.

A música do meu divórcio.
