"Leaving this world is not as scary as it sounds." - Richard

C- Rating?!?! Are you fucking kidding me! I swore I got at least 4 10x combos on that level! This game is bullshit... *continues playing until 3 in the morning*

"Wait I heard strange sound outside of the store, I call you later" -Beard

HM1: Wow, dude, you slaughtered a lot of russians, cool job, bro! HM2: You should be ashamed, bro...

Best feeling after every level to hear this.

What is left after a nuclear explosion? Dust

"It's just a film..." "Please..I just wanna go home" "What are you waiting for!?" "Gotta get a grip" "Nah I'm calling in sick today" "Okay. No need to fight it then" *Leaving this world is not as scary as it sounds* "

"You heard him Martin, time to get up!" "..." "Martin?"

Those feelings when this starts playing after deatwish scene :, (

"What the fuck are you waiting fo-" *BANG*

HM1: you play as a chicken bastard and a delivery boy and both survive HM2: you play as 11 characters and none survived

"Hey... are you hitting me? Come on guys I just want to go home"

love how the music title is foreshadowing the ending.

The score music in Hotline Miami is more cheerful, because Jacket wanted to do everything. He was mentally unstable and was doing what he believed was for revenge. Now in Hotline Miami 2, it's more somber and moody because most characters didn't want to kill. And even the ones who did enjoy killing (the Fans) still had enough mental stability to see how fucked up they all were. This is all up for debate. 2020 Edit: Very nice to see this still causing discussion almost four years later. 2024 edit: 8 years and still getting replies. This is why I love this community. Still weird seeing something I wrote as a freshman being engaged with. My opinion shifted quite a bit on my own words.

Is this the most credits song ever ?

Soundtrack comments are like a bar of broken heroes. Every person who completed hotline Miami visit this place. Everyone leaves some quotes, 50b spray or some depressed words. It's kinda funny seeing that comments are ranged from 5 years to 1 day ago. People still love hotline miami and player counter grows every day. If you haven't checked its soundtrack that means that you haven't felt the game High five to let the others hang out here

"Goddamnit, only an A?!"

I like the use of this song, making the score board much darker. "Think of your sins".

This sounds like the song you hear when you're slowly bleeding out on a floor and your life flashes before your eyes

"Leaving this world is not as scary as it sounds."

Speaking of the game making you feel bad, anyone else remember the soviet POWs after the first level with Beard? Those 5 guys watching their comrade get beaten to a pulp? I really like the detail of the one soldier watching who just openly weeps as he's being held at gunpoint. Seems like a pretty overlooked scene, though.

That's right, think about what you've done.

When I hear this song I always recall the Son just having killed his entire mob and most of the Fans on a drug-induced murder spree, walking towards the edge of the building to his own death which he was completely unaware of. Main character deaths in HM2 are handled in such a nonchalant yet intriguing way. It really reinforces the feeling of senseless and abrupt violence that nobody will escape from. This song perfectly encapsulates the indifference of the slaughter in Hotline.

Dust is just a song that gives you this feeling, something was over, but it's bittersweet, as the guy with the top comment said "in the end, there's nothing but dust"

It's amazing how much contrast this has when compared to the post-level theme of the first game. Despite sounding similar, it gives off a completely different vibe. Hotline Miami 1's made it sound like you were being rewarded for everything wrong you did, where you could really feel the dissonance. This one, especially right after you watch the fans mutilate the Mafia dude... Well, damn, son.

When you beat a level that you fucking castrated yourself in anger over... and realize you're only on normal.

In Russia we say “morning wiser than evening” So every time I saw levels levels ending, watching this neon sunset while listening to this fabulous song and thinking about characters feelings after all of those homicides, blood oceans and so on I just remember “morning wiser than evening”

Jacket didn't understand what Richards message was. Vichter did and accepted it. The Fans tried to be memorable,they did but they ended up the same fate. Son was corrupted with his power and ended with his downfall. Jake figured out the truth but the truth never is good. Evan found himself stuck between two things that either way led to his death. Manny wanted his fame like The Fans but it ended up destroying him and everyone around him. The Henchmans greed led to him being left and abandoned. Every choice in Hotline Miami 1 and 2 reflects on you and the antagonists choices it truly shows what everyone behind the screen is "Monsters that love violence were all animals" - Cournel

Sometimes when i listen to Dust I imagine all the characters walking on a long path, The Fans, Richter, Jacket, Evan, The son, The russians, The mobsters, The thugs, The police, The soldiers. Because in the end, They have the same doom. They head to the same place : Death

Ive read alot about how this song makes people feel bad about what they've just done. I think it's like a pat on the back, as if someone's saying "Good job. You just brutally slaughtered a bunch of people, but you did it efficiently."

Hotline miami got a soundtrack that will never be repeated in the history of gaming.

Just listen the music and go on the rainbow road

*This is the outro song to 2020...*

The song perfectly reflects the despair and uncertainty of our times.

It's fascinating how the story of a game can change a track like this, because the first time you hear this after playing the first game is think of Miami, where the game is taking place, and you think of all of its great aspects, but once you get halfway through the game, you start hearing it more and more... you notice it might mean something, you think it has a deeper morale that you can find if you search hard enough, and then the endgame, it finally hits you... *Leaving this world isn't as scary as it sounds*

Ночь. Дождь. Ты едешь в маршрутке после тяжелого дня, за окном бегущие люди, огни фонарей и неоновые вывески. Ты понимаешь, все худшее позади

"A game by Dennaton"

I listened to this song driving home from work one night. Coming onto the empty highway with no cars except mine in view, the only thing visible for miles was rows and rows of silver streetlights illuminating the road ahead and the endless black of night surrounding it. Hell of a vibe.

as patrick say everyone dies the end

Well? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WAITING FO-

People in 2077: “Can’t believe this was made over 50 years ago. It sounds like it came out last week”

I love how the soundtracks go from 80's to 90's.

"I wish we could have had met under different circumstances." That pretty much sums up how the song feels to me.

this is a song that really makes you think back to your life, and its so calming.

*Starts playing this track when the teacher is giving grades after a test*

Listening to this song, I get a feeling of like... "What's done is done. Doesn't matter if it's good or bad. It's time to move on." I really hurt a friend and this was one of our favourite songs to listen to together. And now, I think of him every time it plays. We can't talk anymore, and it's all my fault. I'm sorry, Alex.

Around 2:10 theres just a sort of "blurred", quieter part that just makes the song.

"Are we actually doing this?" "I fucking hate these people" "Do you like hurting other people?" "It's just a film" "C'mon guys... i just want to go home..." "What are you waiting for?!" "It's on the house!" "Let's get over with this" "Gotta get a grip" "Show some goddamn respect!!" "Leaving this world is not as scary as it sounds."

Уникальный звук, будоражащий сознание; натуральный звуковой экстаз от этого саундтрека. Подходит для любого настроения, начиная от лёгкой ностальгии, заканчивая хорошим настроением сейчас.

Please tell me im not the only one who puts this dong on after an extreme workout, exiting the gym to your car.

the feeling of completing both games for the first time is amazing and everyone should experience it

Un saludo pal UriGod 🐀💎

I listen this music every time before sleep.... for the calm and peaceful dreams...

Momento URIGOD señores 🐀💎

Play this song in your head after finishing a book,after a lot of people die.Then imagine all of them,the bad guys,the good guys,the people who had a single line of dialog in the book waving at you. Doesn't that make you want to -cry- die

I love this game. Probably one of the most important games in my life. Synthwave accompanies me through it to this day. And to this day, this game has allowed me to help with many problems in private life. The sad thing is that it seems to me to be quite forgotten.

I did a lot of blow playing HM & HM2 do to depression and hating the workd around me. I lost myself in this game for hours, inflicting the pain i felt on the daily, but then after I beat HM2 i quit doing blow and changed my life. Was always ready to leave this world but now I'm content knowing there's others like me out there feeling how I do and still go on every day.

My headcanon is that everyone in hotline miami is dead, except for Biker, I mean the dude escaped to a desert afterwards so it would make sense if he was still alive. After the nuking of Miami, Biker comes out of the desert and goes back to where he lived and is just walking around in the remains of Miami feeling a strong amount of guilt, wondering if he could have changed something.

i finished the 2 game on my switch some months ago and man, that really was a tremendous experience, every single character, the viscious and challenging gameplay and obviously, the rich lore of this game. everything about this story just makes you love and be intrested more and more. hotline miami really is, one of the games out there and will forever be marked on everyone that played it, including myself.

Truly, a Masterpiece of game, all of it is just perfect, gameplay, ost, art style, all of it if you haven't played yet you gotta do it

The openings to this song is the real feeling of bliss i cant stop chasing, this score is amazing (how itonic in context to find pleasure in the bliss this music creats, i love you hotline miami)

I love how a lot of songs from these games have different meanings for different people. For some this might be calming and a way to rest after a long level, while others might see this as regretful and somber after all of the people they just killed.

1:37 la musica que el uriel usa en sus videos * procede a echase una platica soprana *

Me walking home after successfully failing all the exams:

Ten years and always the same feeling .....masterpiece yet rising up

Did you know on the 2nd scene you can pickup a shotgun from the trunk?

"do you like hurting other people?" I did...

hotline miami franchise's real theme to me

Boots and pants, boots and pants

When there's no point in asking for new TF2 weapons:

Sitting down, listening to this song and praying a big red S comes up on the screen so you don't have to repeat that level for another 100 times

This is more 80's than any song from the actual 80's.

Uriel Song

This reminds you that even tough you might find and acomplish alot in life, everything will still be taken away in the end, and after all of the suffering you lived trough in life, youll be left in the darkness to sit down and rest, to straight up dissapear... This track perfectly fits in the game
