I will never forget the feeling of entering SW for the first time

After watching the game over my shoulder when I was a kid, my mom started playing WoW too. She wasnt into all of the endcontet stuff and instead loved to roam around with her warrior and discover stuff. She always told me that she likes the Stormwind theme the most. She lost her fight to cancer a few days ago and coming here to listen to this is so painfull and yet pleasing at the same time. Farewell!

5:00 are we gonna gloss over that Dwarf that straight up committed suicide in the canals?

17:28 this part on Stormwind 7 will always give me chills.

When I was a boy, Alliance walls and towers used to make me feel so safe.

Entering the city for the 1st time as a human paladin : "Yes this is home"

I sometimes feel WoW is like a lost civilisation. All that's left now are ruins, but we still hold the memories of a golden age of heroes and mythical adventures. We can never go back to those days, but those days will never leave us.

17:30 to 17:55 is goosebumps for me

I tried to work listening to the music, but then memories and nostalgic feelings took over. Indeed, wonderful times they were. This world is so much more than just a game. Blizzard managed to create something that stays in your heart forever.

18:13 listening to it and reading the npc dialogue is amazingly peaceful

8 years ago 2012 I played this game for the first time, I was leveling and doing quests, unlike many other players whose first time going to stormwind was by flight, I walked into this city and was amazed by how beautiful it was.

18:13 always hits the feels. Varian was THE King and we'll never be the same without him.

I feel at home 🦁💛💙

I will never forget my first time walking into Stormwind as a low level human in vanilla. Stumbled upon it by mistake, not understanding what a 'major city' was, the beautiful big music playing. I must have just walked around for hours exploring the in's and out's. Admiring all of the level 60s in their armor and mounts, which I figured I would never get. Sigh, good times.

39:04 - 40:14 is my favourite and nostalgic moment, I wanna be younger and be able to play wow. It's not only a game, it's our childhood

4:18 absolute chills I miss this game but it is actually too addictive.

It's 2005. I just got back from my tour in Iraq. Entered SW for the first time. Been hooked to this game ever since!

Started playing WOW on Beta way back in 2004. After starting out at Northshire Valley and then levelling in the rest of Elwyn Forest under all those green trees, to finally come to this amazing city, it was a moment to remember. I used to take so many screenshot in front of those huge statues at the bridge.

At 0:02 sec I started crying. Such good memories.

Playing this game while in the throes of depression and anxiety in my mid-20s has left an indelible mark on my brain. I haven't played in years, I'm much better mentally than I was, but the feeling of taking a Vanilla character into Stormwind or Ironforge for the first time and exploring is just unlike any other gaming experience I've ever had. It really was something altogether incredible and this music takes me right back.

So many memories in Stormwind. Absolutely incredible! ⚔⚔🛡🛡💙💙 FOR THE ALLIANCE!

FOR THE GLORY OF STORMWIND!

17:20 I can’t remember a time where I didn’t hum to this part once in my whole WoW career

walking into this city for the first time is life changing

I both hate and love you for these. I had finally had enough with the crap that I quit WoW. ...then I hear the music from one of my favorite cities and I suddenly miss it. ....not enough to come back but enough to make me think about it. Lol

when i am in Stormwind and 1:34 starts, i just stand still and listen. Chills every time

*Highlord Bolvar!* *Thank the Light!* *For Lordaeron!* *For the Alliance!*

This a good way to get my WoW fix without actually going back to the game. Thank you for this.

I did not play wow until 2020 when Covid hit. Lots of fun memories playing with my brother and his girlfriend every night until we level up all the way until level 110 and we are not sure of what to do and where to level up anymore… it was a good time of 4-6 months of playing wow every night. Now they have kid and I have a wife. My mom also passed away 2 years ago. I miss old times I do I really do.

25:00 For the alliance 2

As a horde player I still remember the first time I entered stormwind YEARS ago with a raid to kill Varian and 1:38 will forever be burned in my mind. Heck, I can’t remember the first time I entered orgrimmar.

My first WoW experience was with the free trial version. I made a human warlock and explored the heck out of Elwyn forest. The soundtrack there still hits a special note in my heart. Coming to Stormwind was fascinating since I soon tried to find the warlock teacher. I was blown away how cool it was to have the entrance to your shunned sanctum hidden behind a veil in a store, going down a long stairway getting ever darker to end in a torchlit catacomb deep underground with your fellow acolytes.

No matter how shite the game gets, or how bad Blizzard fall and fall. Nothing will make that Stormwind music not put my hairs on end. truly a masterpiece of a song.

FOR THE ALIANCE !!! Этот оркестр, дирижер и композитор все эти люди - они сотворили непередаваемое ощущение МОЩИ в груди ! Музыка и хор - дают невообразимые ощущения отваги и решительности !!! ЗА ЛОРДЕРОН !!! ЗА АЛЬЯНС !!!

Im forever Horde, but Stormwind has a special place in my heart.

Tnx god they didn't burned Stormwind , u never know with blizzard this days .

I clear as day remember when I first walked over the bridge, past the statues and into the city accompanied by that first song. More so, I remember the countless hours spent roleplaying in "The Pig n' Whistle" in Old Town. There has been 100s of games after WoW for me, but nothing - n o t h i n g - compares to it to this day. The comraderie, the adventures. I was a grown up when WoW released, and I am even more grown up now, but not a day goes by that I do not miss this game. At the same time, I know going back and start playing again would be pointless. So here I sit, an old man, reminiscing past times and listening to the music that accompanied my adventures for years.

That first bit right at the start. The moment you pass through the gates on foot, mount or riding the winds. Seeing the great heros of old watching over you as you carry on the legacy of greatness is what made coming to this city feel so good.

The entire track is great but my favorite parts are... 6:40-7:35 18:15-19:03 19:03-23:39 27:41-29:40 (The best part, imo) 36:23-37:25 37:25-39:00 40:50-42:50

So i walk in SW for the first time as a low lvl pally at the start of TBC and i see this retri palla on his charger almost full marshal with the claymore enchanted with mongoose maan ill never forget the feeling i said i wanna make my pally like this! later i rerolled warrior and dedicated the rest of my many wow days (and nights) playing that class never looking bk to my days as a pally but i will always remember this feeling of excitement i felt the 1st time i walked in the capital. Other than that this music... what can one say countless nights countless adventures good or bad this music was there to comfort you in victory or defeat in the end of the day. Wow as we knew it is gone but its spirit lives through these musical pieces hear it my brothers of the sword! thank you Everness!

I am Horde all the way, but one of my favourite moments was just peacefully exploring every possible alliance territory and bowing to the statue of Varian in Stormwind.

Human Mage as first WoW character. One of my most memorable gaming experiences. Literally cost me one year of my university study.

This music takes me back to 2018. When I play WoW on my big brother's computer. I was just walking around the Azeroth. Then I didn't know how to play this game and just enjoyed the beautiful of this world. Thanks to my brother. Without him I would never have known about Warcraft.

17:33 "Oh Cheese and Eggs, oh how... they taste so good, Cheese and Eggs, Cheese on Toast too..."

That's the best soundtrack on any game ever. Thank you for bringing me this!

A nice city, wish I could visit for real. Fills me with pride that my human paladin is proudly wearing the lion embossed elite 7th Legion plate armor and tabard. 🦁 Also the replica Lion's Fang/Heart transmogs and the Stormwind cape from Blizzcon '17.

10 years ago, I spent lots of sleeping nights while listening to this in Stormwind. Happy times that we cannot go back. I miss my hometown ;(

No one talking about 7:40 ? Another masterpiece. King's honor.

I've been a Draenei paladin for a long time, and every time I visit Stormwind I enjoy every single second of it

... FOR THE ALLIANCE...!!!!

Growing up on this game has engraved all of Stormwind, new and old into my head.

Eternal glory to the Alliance ! 🦁🦁🦁

The first time I enter in SW was to kill Varian. I was at Orgrimmar and some ppl started to organize a raid for the achievement "FOR THE HORDE". It was epic, like 60 or 80 Horde Players, all with the flying mounts together. We flight to the montains near SW until everybody could arrive, and them everybody rushed to Varian and it was a complete caos, since there was a lot of ally players trying to stop us. After we finish him, we went to the other capitals and we complete the achievement. WPVP is one of the best parts of WOW. What a night. What a game.

17:33 Thank me later.

the anduin part is amazing 18:15

Such nostalgia coming out of sheer music and ambience that i just cannot explain, i'm sure that every wow player ever just feels chills running down the spine when they hear something like this, and i actually can't fall asleep easily, so i just put one of theese vids, and listen, remember the good ol' times when i had time to enjoy wow with my friends, all the leveling, gearing, battlegrounds, arena rank pushes, all the good and fun times i've had while enjoying the game and the nostalgia overwhelms me while colliding with happines from the good ol' times and i just fall asleep with such ease, no stress, no work, there's just nothing, only relaxation when i just shut up and listen to the music and ambience from this incredible game which i'm sure brought happines to all of us who have played it. I just can't forget the times when i had no stress, no work, no reason to worry about anything in the whole wide world, and what would i give that i could go back 10-11 years back in time to enjoy this whole experience from the begening, thank's for posting all of these "music and ambience" videos, it really brings back good memories. Post Scriptum excuse me for bad spelling, ain't my main language, and have a great time playing this amazing game or purely listening to this music!

Thank you for this! I was surprised to find songs I hadn't heard, or at least that I remembered hearing. "Canticle of Sacrifice A " (19:32) is really lovely. I heard D only recently and stayed to listen. It's nice to see the titles, thanks for that too. Superb, as always! ♥.

Stormwind 3 is so calming

Sad as it is, I’m glad Stormwind is so empty sometimes. It’s nice to just cruise around and admire the city while waiting for dungeons or raids. Getting to sit down and relax anywhere you want without constant chatter and people all around. I’ll never forget when they changed to the destroyed area or added in the little cemetery with benches and a gazebo.

0:00 and 34:34 Two pieces that shall never be forgotten.

the memories come flooding back when i hear the stormwind theme

stopped playing this game years ago, but still listen to the music sometimes, it feels every time like coming home, great memories with great people, I will never forget the first time I entered stormwind

The music, the experience... Are embedded into our very souls. We were pioneers, explorers of this new digital world. Nowadays, the world has been explored, every corner discovered, every stone has been turned, the new became old. But once again, a new light shall lead the way, new worlds will be revealed... Take this message, traveler, and carry it with you. Wherever you're heading, you're going to need it. Until we meet again.

no matter for howlong you have played this game, entering world of warcraft and just be in Stormwind and its world that it offers is just the best and most magical feeling there is. no game goes above that for me. This game changed everything! For everybody who reads this, i wish you all the best of luck in life and whatever is going on, know this, with everything that starts comes an end. and at the end, it will be alright with you. love you all!

Nightelf Hunter, started in Teldrasil, innocent and lost, had no idea the impact this game will have on me. At lvl 10, i couldn't belive i was able to get a pet, gray tiger i chose, whom i kept for years afterwards. Then my real life friends, who were humans, invited me to go to a really cool city they said, many players with high lvl and amazing swords, so i took a ship, traveled there and entered the city, can't even begin to describe the slightest glimpse of the feelings i had when i first entered stormwind and heard the epic life changing music. From that milestone in my life, everything changed and i immersed myself in the world. I was 14 years old back then, now im 29 and the feelings are still there in my heart, in an unchangable spot.

anduin's theme is so amazingly moving holy shit

Elwynn Forest and Goldshire in and then BOOOOOOM SW. What a journey

I'm a Horde player now but started off as Alliance. Entering Stormwind for the first time was so beautiful it almost made me cry, yet awe inspired at the same time. Hearing it again makes me feel like I betrayed the Alliance :/

My god this game back in 04 was like any other gaming experience I have ever had in my life still tops to this day. This game I think is the most important game in gaming history. Sad to see what it has become.

10:25 I love this part. It sounds soo nice and relaxing.

18:13 Even as Horde Player so sick damn best Moment :D

Rebuilt by the Stonemasons guild is only HALF the story. The king refused to pay them and their leader, Edwin VanCleef for rebuilding the city. And so the Defias was born. And we hunted them never fully knowing the other half of the full story. Well unless you were one of those people who read quests back in Classic! Haha Such a great story.

I’ll always remember entering SW for the first time. I was a Gnome and after entering Iron Forge for the first time and see loads of players a female NE brought me on the tram to SW and my new leveling zone. Love the zone and the neighboring zones as well!

I'm proud of being an Alliance soldier.

7:41 THIS is the Alliance!!

Magical studies stressing your brain? Relax at the Blue Recluse!

20:16 Human fighting a bush "Take that you bloody, filthy bush!"

Thank you so much, some of those are epic. I need to change my morning alarm. My favorites are For the Alliance 1 For the Alliance 2 For the Alliance 3 Alliance battle march 1 [Cataclysm] Stormwind 1 [Cataclysm] Stormwind 3 [Cataclysm] Stormwind 4

Dude I Will never understand all the hate alliance and horde players have dude xD I play both factions and stormwind gets me everytime

1:34 Oh cheese and eggs Oh how they taste so good Cheese and Eggs Cheese on toast ah

These videos actually inspired me to play WoW again.

Thank you so much for putting together all these WoW soundtracks! Finally! I never played it, but now I'm finding out what a whole huge, fantastic world of soundtrack I've been missing all this time.

55:34 my heart feels, like some hope is coming - cry........

FOR THE ALLIANCE!!! 💛🦁💙

18:13 I also remember sitting with a girl on the fountain, she was also a Draenei and I was a Draenei a man :)

Honestly though!!! 47:25 - omg seriously those violin or cello or w/e so bomb it gets me goin

The starting of the song at 9:40 sounds quite like "Anirion" from LotR, both are great songs imo !

I remember exiting the train from ironforge into the dwarven district with my gnome character. It was amazing hearing the music and seeing a big and beautiful city like Stormwind.

don't you all feel as if lived all this in another, previous life? GOD!

King’s honor friend

Our home.

UGH! The beginning of this song. So epic... so legendry. So heroic! I love it. X3 ....I'm Horde though. >:)

This is such nostalgia drive i can almost remember every moment playing this game :D

Does anyone else get a weird bubbly feeling? I remember sitting awake at like 4am whilst mum was asleep running around an empty Sw

memories ... sweet sweet memories when back in the days was like one addon ago a time where you could ask anything and getting answers back then when 20g used to be so freaking much mone i wish i was 13 again asking people to take me with them on a CR while i was only lvl 40 back then in WOTLK just to record anything with fraps for youtube that moment when you glitched up to mount ironforge and never forget little Timmy with his white cats ,sell one or two and you got enough gold for the next 30 level ♥

Stormwind was the only settlement in the game I felt deserved the title "city"

4:17 main theme of the paladin class

Is it just me or does the guy who says "fresh bread for sale" @ 6:02, look like he's carrying the bread like a sword?
