You know you've made it when your music is still being listened to nearly 100 years into the future.

Only 1912 kids will remember.

This song becomes more sad when you realize that the whole concept of the game is basically giving Booker a second chance of spending the last moments of his life with his daughter whom he sold , before having to sacrifice himself to save her and the world.

"𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘳, 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘰𝘥?" "𝘕𝘰, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐'𝘮 𝘢𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶"

Goddamn the ambiance of this song playing in the street, in the menu of the game.

*Game ends. Title Screen Appears. Stare at screen for half an hour in awe and confusion* Instant favorite game ever.

I often sit on the main menu of Infinite just to listen to the amazing songs...

Today is January 8th, 2018. So...it has been 100 years since this song came out. It's almost like having a time machine that gets you back to when it came out. Makes me very emotional. I hope everyone can experience that strange sense of nostalgia for a time you were never in.

This music is almost one century old... Damn..

I love Bioshock Series' music. So foocking atmospheric.

Who's listening in 2024? ❤

It's been 100 years since this song first came out. And milions of people still listen to it. That's beautiful! :D

I feel this song really carries that mysterious vibe that infinite holds pretty accurately.

I love this song. So often found myself spending 5-10 minutes on the menu just to hear it

God, I miss Bioshock, wishing we can soon get another game ...

I’ve only just beat Bioshock Infinite this past week and I cannot get this song out of my head. The beautiful sun shining down a nondescript alleyway in Columbia, kids playing with a broken water pipe, this song softly playing in a shop on an old radio. It’s literally just the menu screen but it is so well made

Did anyone here catch the joke that was made in infinite? It was the two soldiers who were talking before you first enter another version of Columbia. The guy had said that it was 1912 and wondered why the girl wasn't into him and she said that it would be 2012 before she'd like him. I literally rolled my eyes and laughed.

Man, this sounds even better being played over the Voxophone. You can just hear the old rolling off the song.~

Listened to this in my car's Bluetooth appreciating how far we made it with technology

Now won't you listen dearie while I say, how can you tell me that you're goin' away? Don't say that we must part, don't break my aching heart You know I've loved you truly many years, I loved you night and day How can you leave me, can't you see my tears? Listen while I say After you've gone, and left me crying After you've gone, there's no denying You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad You'll miss the dearest pal that you've ever had There'll come a time, now don't forget it There'll come a time, when you'll regret it Some day, when you grow lonely Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only After you've gone, after you've gone away Oh After the years, we've been together The joy and tears and all kinds of weather Someday, blue and downhearted You'll long to be with me right back where you started After I'm gone, after I'm gone away

this game is definitly one of the bests in generation

Just finished playing the game for myself for the first time. (very late to it I know). And even though I knew the plot and what was going to happen, I never expected to feel the way I do now. While I was playing, this time I made sure to search every nick, nook and cranny & take my time to really get as much out of it as I could. There were those magical moments like the back and forth between Booker & Elizabeth, making my way though shanty town, hearing tainted love as blues music, playing the guitar, hearing shake sugaree & tons more. But now that I’ve finished it, I’ve realised that the most special part of the game was growing close to Elizabeth. Now that it’s over I really miss her, like there’s a hole in my heart and I’m mourning somebody. Bioshock Infinite is, was & will always be a very special game for a number of reasons. And one of them is that this piece of music makes more sense to me now than I ever thought music could. I think I will always feel a sense of deep sadness yet fulfilling happiness when hearing this song from now on.

Now won't you listen, dearie While I say How can you tell me That you're going away Don't say that we must part Don't break my achin' heart You know I've loved you truly many years I've loved you night and day How can you leave me Can't you see my tears? Listen, while I say After you've gone And left me crying After you've gone There's no denyin' You'll feel blue You'll feel sad You'll miss the dearest pal That you ever had And there'll come a time Now don't forget it There'll come a time When you regret it Some day, when you grow lonely Your heart will break like mine And you'll want me only After you've gone, After you've gone away. Oh after the years We've been together The joy, the tears, and all types of weather Some day, blue and downhearted You'll long to be with me Right back where you started After I've gone After I've gone away...

No game has ever effected me mentally the way this one did. I felt just depressed and bittersweet over the melancholy ending to it all. But no matter what im glad it made me feel that way. if that isnt a sign of a great game, I dont know what is.

This song is pretty much my reaction to Irrational Games shutting down.

This song is absolutely masterpiece. "Are you afraid of God? No. But I'm afraid of You."

Man this game and its predecessors really just struck a chord with me. The story is just so good - it hits me emotionally. I love going back to this game and playing a chapter or two......

"No, he DOESN'T row." "Oh, I see what you mean."

gonna tell my kids in the future about this game

Hundred years later and break-ups still feel the same...

Anyone here in 2021 and waiting for the next bioshock?

Its very relaxing, i would just sit there,put the controller down and let the music take me

Honestly I feel like this song perfectly sums up BioShock Infinite plus the Burial at Sea DLC. It's the perfect mix of melancholy, emptiness, and existential angst.

This singer girl can't even imagine that her song will be added to a main menu screen for a videogame 101 years later

Oh my freaking God... I thought they just made this song for the game I didn't know its more than a century old🙄🙄🙄 I didn't finish this game, rather this game finished me man...

When I listen to this and the rest of the soundtrack, I am in awe and wish I lived in simpler times and such. Then I realized I would be hanging on a tree or getting my ass beat half the time. No thanks, I'll experience the taste of the 1900s from here on my smartphone.

one of the greatest games of all time .

To everyone staying up late listening to this. I feel the pain and regret you are feeling.

I still replay this game often and it brings back so many memories

One of the most important games of a generation.

No other game has left such an impact on me, the music never fails to bring back the atmosphere and emotions. It's been years since i last played and i still find myself daydreaming about it time to time

Bioshock infinite's amazing-ness is beyond human understanding and the game should be cherished by all gamers as a game with perfect storytelling, themes, setting and characters. It is more than a masterpiece. Definitely the best game and the best thing meant for entertainment ever.

Oh that music. This from main menu. It creates that atmosphere that u dont want to leave.

"Bring us the girl, and wipe away the debt."

One of the few games I have gone back to play again and again

This song didn't make sense to me at first since it's a love song. After I finished the game, that's when it hit me like a truck. Jesus Christ it became even more heartbreaking for me than it should.

This song is so good

This makes me want to live in Colombia but then I remember I'm Hispanic

This is the best version of this song.

103 years later and this song still hasn’t gone

105 years later... Holy Shit.

This song gets in your head and doesn't come out. I've found myself sitting at the menu just listening to it. It sets the tone for the game like a great TV show intro such as the one in front of Carnivale

This song explains the entire story after you finish the game, Booker being torn up by regret. So depressing, but great music.

Every Time im am drinking a listen this song ❤️😥

I cry whenever i listen to this What a great game it will forever be in my heart 💔

Albert Fink presents After You Have Left Magical Melodies Copyright 1912

'Booker, are you afraid of God?' 'No, but I'm afraid of you.' Best game ever.

Ah Bioshock Infinite. What a masterpiece.

hearing this after the big twist in the game is just such a blessing

This was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had, and indeed it is a video game. This was an expression of art and ideas that transcends just the genre of video gaming itself. This is something that the American people accomplished, and it's unbelievable. I'll never forget it, even after it's gone. Weirdly enough, this song "After I'm gone" translates to the Bioshock series itself. It's gone, fading into history, and hopefully the right minds were able to witness this stuff. Video games are touchy things guys, this stuff is real

Man after all the time I spent on this game I get reminded of it when I'm playing this song in my jazz band this year :P

Idk why the song felt extremely nostalgic ever since I first played the game, even though I never heard it before

good memories

Love this game! Booker, CATCH!

After I beat the game all I did was sit there and just think about what happened. When the credits went through and it went to the main menu this sing played and all I could do was sit there. I was feeling all types of emotions and it was overwhelming. This was a great game that left me in shambles, and I'm glad to have played it. Such a beautiful and haunting song...

I miss Elizabeth

this version of after you’ve gone is the one that slaps the most. no i won’t debate

OMG I WAS LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR THIS ITS SO GOOD!!!

I doubt I will ever recover from playing this game. I've been polaxed. It's a masterpiece, and I still care to this day about Elizabeth, darn it. I doubt I'll ever find a story this good again in the world of video games. The same way that LotR slayed me for reading books for a while...I think I'm done playing games for a while. I just can't deal with it. Still have too many feels left.

Please don't hate this game I spent 70% of my time staring at every art and detail that is in columbia before progressing to the objective

Best menu music ♡

if you didn't play bioshock there is no possible way you could have come across this sort of music unless you have a 2nd generation grandma who plays her masterpieces all day. I'm not even american and i can honestly say this is better than any catchy pop song with no point or merit.

I've been looking for this song! Thanks for the upload.

The first time I listened to this all the way through was after the game ended and the song gained a new meaning for me in that moment

It's 2021 now and I still listen and love this song. Bioshock infinite 🔥🔥

246 Hours of gameplay. 100% Achievements. all DLC completed. Was my 2013 Game of the Year, Game of the Century, now I get to do it all over again, remastered and even more beautiful.

Jesus christ what the fuck is wrong with gamers these days. It's a great great game, just enjoy the ride. It's very artistic and poetic as it is, which is very hard to achieve in a videogame. It's fun, no need to criticize it to death

Right when i log into the game i just keep listening to this song

Funny, I was just looking for this, and then it shows up in my recommended!

I love just listening to this and pretending to be living in Columbia... I'm a weirdo, i know.

This song was so fitting for the game, but I really don't know why. Song from 1918 : Still better than some crap today.

103 years later this still slaps

This song gives me a peaceful and sad feeling i love and cant explain

bioshock, the best serie of videogames ever

bioshock infinite........favorite game of all time

Since Bioshock 2 used 'Daddy Won't You Please Come Home' as a recurring song to fit the game's theme, this song might as well have been Bioshock Infinite's 'theme' song.

This song is 102 years old... amazing how we’re still listening it.

this game and song brought tears to my eyes and that's not easy after the things I've seen. I wish the story would never end

Her voice is absolutely beautiful. It sounds like a beautiful angel singing

Bro wake up its 2013… you just came home from school and continue playing the singleplayer on your ps3/xbox360

Lost my grandfather 2 years 3 days ago, miss you J R, I'll never forget those Christmas days, or thanksgivings, fuck I miss you grandpa, the sands of time will fill the space you once occupied, I hope to see you again

Is this in the public domain?

This is how i feel after i finished Bioshock infinite. What a beautiful game...

after i finish this game i feel sad to hear this song

Miss you Bioshock Miss you Elizabeth The Only Game Characters that I fell in love because of the Character and the AI competency

I wish there was some way to erase my memory (without being injured) so I could experience this amazing game again.

Best game I've ever played. Recomend to anyone. This game will always stay with me.

Hood classic of 1918

Lyrics of this song are amazing, still good after more than 100 years !!

Amazing song, Amazing Game.
