“If you’re a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format”

When you find out your whole village had been held captive for 6 months in the sewers, being tortured by a deer...

It sounds like somebody is about to tell me something strange, dark and mysterious, delivered in story format

"If you're a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format, then you've come to the right channel because that's all that we do." - Mr. Ballen

*The ocean is way deeper than you think*

You as a kid when you slept in the sofa but woke up in your bed.

this song is great for people who are a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format

This song would go really well as the intro to a youtuber who does storytelling on the strange, dark and mysterious

"The ocean, is really, really deep"

When your playing Rock Paper Scissors with the mirror and you win:

It seems like some of us are fans of the strange dark and mysterious delivered in story format

MR.BALLEN INTRO MUSIC!! I finally found it through coincidence and I *absolutely love it!*

When the toilet seat is warm but everyone else that lives in the house left 1 hour ago

When you see something out of the corner of your eye, but there’s nothing there

This music makes me feel an emotion that i'm not sure how to interpret in words.

When you're a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format

This song would go great with a voiceover at the end of the movie that shows how everything is connected with a major twist

It's 2013 and you see two white eyes in the corner of your eyes in Minecraft.

That moment when the strange, dark and mysterious is delivered in story format.

Here after listening it many times this epic intro on MrBallen's channel. Big fan of strange dark and mysterious delivered in story format.

When your dad starts looking your search history

when you’re making fun of someone but then they send you a picture of your doorstep

This feels like when a show that existed for a fairly good amount of time reveals that a fan favorite character that was there since the pilot was evil all along and is actively uses the ability of breaking the 4rth wall (which is used as a joke always used by the character) to manipulate how the episodes move out with the final shot of the episode being his face being all dark except for his eyes and a grin that truely shows his true colors.

Who else here is a fan of the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format?

When the anesthesia is kicking in for your surgery and the doctor says "alright, pull up the wikiHow article."

Imagine being down in the ocean dark at night hearing this song.

This song made me become a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious, delivered in story format

When you’re mom texts you at school saying “I found something in your room, we have to talk”

hits differently when the youtube man is teaching me how to escape north korea

Time for some strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format by Mr Ballen!!

This song is the exact example , of the meaning “the ocean is deeper than you think”

When your parents say sweet dreams but you have a nightmare.

this sounds less like a horror theme to me and more of a theme to a huge conspiracy involving governments n shit beginning unveiled and the whole world going down the shitter

normal people: OH NO SCARY MUSIC mappers: ok cool background music for my mapping video

Mrballen Intro is fire af. And i finally found it

2020 Official theme song.

*_When you accidently fail a random latin sentence while fishing, then Cthulhu wakes up_*

0:13 you're playing horror game 0:21 saving... 1:03 hold Lshift to run

This song gives off a cosmic horror vibe, like something strange of a greater power is at hand

This is the type of music you hear when you dive into the deepest part of the ocean to meet Cthulhu.

When your childhood friend tells about a great job opportunity for you and the next day you wake up on a weird cell wearing orange and you're now called "D-9520" 0:01

*POV:* you’re a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format

This song represents exactly what you feel when you start to remember your whole life since you had memory and you realize that everything is connected, All your experiences, your memories, the things you did, everything that happened in your life, every little thing no matter how tiny it may seem, has helped you to be the person you are today, this is the song you hear when you realize that everything happens for a reason, When you realize that randomness and luck don't exist, Like a chess game in which every move matters and has consequences, that's life

Used this in a Stranger Things nail art video with credit in the description :) Great track! Thanks for making it available for use!

To me, this music denounces a very particular type of fear. That of the acknowledgment of undeniable signs of an unknown amount of danger, but having no sign of immediate danger. An example would be: walking home alone while dark, you're less than 30 minutes away and no one is around. Then suddenly, a far away voice you've never heard before screams your Gamer Tag.

The kind of music that plays in the middle of the night when you swore you heard a couple footsteps coming from your attic despite the fact that you know you are in the house alone.

Man, I sure do love the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format!

This song just gave me a feeling that i cant describe

This is one of those songs that you feel like you have heard before but never did

You have no idea how long I've been searching for this one song. F in the chat for everyone who hasn't found it yet-

I love how this summoned all of the Mr. Ballen fans. *And I'm one of those who like the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format.*

God I dont know why but thish song gives me the creeps... I could imagine thish song playing one day when you wake up and see that theres nothing but mist outside realising slowly all of your family are gone. Then seeing a gigantic figure walking in the distance

You woke up to a quiet thud. You waited a moment, and sure enough another one sounded. You were frozen with fear, an eerie tune slowly rising somewhere in the distance. The night was cold and mist slowly hovered over the ground like wraiths, quiet and eerie. Nobody was home, and the house was strangely silent. The lights were out, the only thing illuminating your surroundings was what seemed like a bright headlight from a motorcycle in your front yard. It took you a moment to be able to move again, but your heart was thumping so hard your chest hurt, and your thoughts were scattered. You entered the living room, filled with its ghostly light, and placed a hand on the freezing doorknob. The door opened with a loud squeak, and you realized that the night was alive. Happy early Halloween everyone! I hope you liked this

I have been looking for this song for more than 3 years now. Words cannot describe how happy I am after discovering this lmao

This would be the perfect intro for a channel whose content is the strange dark and mysterious delivered in a story format.

Fan of the strange, dark and mysteryous in the story telling format

way down at 6000 meters you have reached the hadal zone named after the underworld of hades itself the pressure here is 1500x that of earth and is comparable to a human lifting the weight of 50 Boeing 747 jumbo jets, or the weight of 6,952 Toyota Corolla L 4 door suden.

for some reason this song makes me feel like the villain. Like what would play as someone slowly walked to a house, gun in hand, ready to kill.

This is the type of music to play when you’re walking home at night and hear footsteps near you but no one’s there to be seen, then suddenly when you start running they start running to and get closer.

1:14 the squid can grow to be about 14 meters long with eyes the size of a dinner plate and razor sharp sickles on its tentacles lol

When you sneeze and someone says “bless you” …then you realise you’re home alone

This is the perfect song to have in the background during an exenstential crisis. A uncanny and unnerving feeling where it feels nostalgic of a song.

I am immensely happy I've finally found this song. I can't tell you how long I've been searching, but it's been at least a year, like seriously, how hard is this to find, because nobody gives a direct link (only to channel), and google gives me an auto generated song called "epic drama". It's the right theme, but I'm so happy I've finally found the actual name and author for this song, it's an immensely cool theme, and I am now just here to say to you if you're reading this that you are a Legend for putting this under the creative commons license. Tl;dr year long search for this song was worth it

This song makes my life feel like a horror movie. Also, who came here from “creepiest episode of adventure time”?

When your friend tells you he burned down a village but he doesn’t play minecraft:

This gives me HUGE portal vibes

I'm just a fan of the strange dark and mysterious delivered in a story format

The only royalty free music I enjoy.

Like: The Ocean is way deeper then you think Comment: How to escape North Korea

They use this song SO MUCH in Spaceflight Simulator videos and I LOVE IT

How has nobody noticed the stranger things Season 1 picture? Not to mention how this soundtrack is so good it sounds like it was in stranger things!

Everyone here is like praising stranger things and such. I'm just here because of them darn Wendigos and Skinwalkers.

A reading of Junji Ito's HELLSTAR REMINA brought me here. This music very nicely compliments the awesomely insane cosmic terror of the story.

1:00 Former Navy Seal on his way to explain the strange dark and mysterious stories

Amazing,just fucking amazing, I can’t explain in words, I feel nostalgia to it and it just has some smash submarine themes

When your a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious

When you're texting your stalker and you hear a notification sound in the closet

When there’s something wicked, and this way it comes

Im glad I found this. I love the song and just never gave it thought when I heard it in MrBallen's videos. Such a vibe thank you for this!

When you listen to the strange, dark, and mysterious in story format: 1:02

When you play with a kid for 3 hours then later found out that kid was a WWII victim and died long ago

Sounds like a theme that would play when the main character is looking through all of the evidence they've collected in a detective movie, and sees something stick out. After moments of rummaging, the camera reveals a handwritten note from the detective's best friend since high school, then a handwritten note left at the scene of a murder. 1:05 the notes have the same handwriting, and the detective keeps searching.

I finally found this! I’ve been hearing this song in videos for years but had no clue what it was called. Great creepy song

1:04 *''But life doesnt end here, it still exists in many forms.''*

0:22 when you hear a door close but ur home alone.

The ocean is really deep. Deeper in fact most of us realize...

when your dad comes back after 2 years and says "I got the milk"

*when you cough and your alone in the house* *”use your elbow~”*

Amazing as always !

I've finally found it. This is one of the many Let's Read's intros. Finally, it has been years, and it turns out it's made by the same guy who made Nexpo's intro, and a track in the online Risk game. You and Myuu are wonderful.

Imagine this was used as a theme for a guy who tells stuff in the strange, dark in mysterious delivered in story format, like that would happen

50% of all comments: Ocean is really, really deep (Ocean facts) 49% of all comments: how to escape North Korea 1% others Edit: There’s probably more then these

They should pay you to make music for movies!

Here because of MrBallen. This soundtrack became iconic. 👌

I always knew the songs was based on water because of the sound effects!!! Amazing!!

anyone from the video, *The Terrifying True Scale of Nuclear Weapons* from realifelore

You know what? I found this song on an Scp SFM vid, but this song is literally the Scp foundation's theme song man, like if it was a movie or series or something THIS song would be it's beginning and/or end theme!!

Forever associated with story teller, Mr. Ballen

Can't stop listening to this.
