Love is the Power Love is the Glory Love is the Beauty And the Joy of Spring Love is the Magic Love is the Story Love is the Melody That we all Sing

In the early 1900's, a dark shadow covered a small country town in rural America. At that time, a young married couple vanished mysteriously from their home. The man's name was George, the woman's name was Maria. Two years later, as suddenly as he left, George returned. He had never told anyone where he had been or what he had done. But, he began an odd study, all by himself. As for Maria, his wife... She never returned. 80 years have passed since then.

_Please name this boy._ _Name this girl._ _Name your friend._ _Name another friend._ _What is your favorite food?_

Songs like this are what inspired me to take up playing retro game music on piano/keyboard/guitar. I cannot recommend it enough.

POV: you are about to witness the greatest video game trilogy of all time

MOTHER fans, please rise for your national anthem

This better be playing at my funeral. If it doesn't I'm going to get out of my coffin and play the music myself and live life again.

I really wish people would see the true art in video games. Most of the people I have known today have just said they really like a game they have never played for themselves. They take somebody's opinion because they like or respect that person. Nobody ever bothers to have their own opinion anymore; they don't care to try the game for themselves when it really could be a real work of art that will stick in your heart that you will remember for the rest of forever.

I played Mother 3 first about seven years ago now. Last year I took it upon myself to play the entire trilogy, starting with Mother 1, then EarthBound, then Mother 3. I played through Mother 1 and EarthBound, and I just reached the top floor in the empire pork building and heard this and i honestly can't even describe the emotion I felt. It's like a piece that was missing a long time ago finally showed itself

One of the most beautiful video game songs ever

MOTHER/EarthBound Beginnings has some of the most beautiful music on the Famicom/NES.

This is one of the few video game songs that I believe are untouchable. I'm usually not one to listen to soundtracks that have chip tune esthetics outside of the actually game play (such as Shovel Knight and other Retro inspired games), but this is one song where whenever I hear a modern arrangement with better samples or orchestration, I can't help but feel as if it missed the point of the original track. It's so simple but effective and it produces more emotion than other entire OSTs.

..... A time long long gone. These were the days of Nintendo where everything in the video game industry was just starting. NES controllers were cutting edge tech, and playing such "full" images on your TV was amazing and unbelievable. How strange to look back, plus the energy and vibe of it holding the NES controller and playing through this one. These games were indeed treats. Not for everyone, but for a lot.

Such a magical chiptune. This honestly has to be one of my favorite chiptunes of all time.

This music really lets you know that you’re in for something special

Earthbound is in my top 10 of my cool game because music is to beautiful

I remember just opening the game in the middle of the night for the first time and hearing this. I just stood there and listened to it for a while without actually going on with the game. I just already knew that from the moment I heard this theme I would love this game, and I still do years later

Damn I really need to play this game but I don’t want to cry anymore and grieve over a childhood long gone.

I just realized recently that Ness and Lucas' victory themes for Brawl and Smash 4 are this sped up. I learn something new about this series every time I revisit it. To think it started with this song. It blows my mind.

When I first started playing through the games, I didn’t think much of this theme. I thought it was a nice intro theme, and appreciated its appearance in Mother 3, but didn’t think much else. However, after having spent about a year with this series, and thinking more about this song and what it represents, I’ve truly come to adore it. It’s the first song you hear in the entire series, and I feel that it represents it wonderfully. It sounds a bit sad, but it also sounds happy, and optimistic. All of this already makes the song sound beautiful on its own, but it only gets better when you learn what its name is and think about it in the context of the rest of series and its events. Looking at it like this introduces a new feeling into the song. A feeling of love for the world, which each game has plenty of. It may not have appeared in every game, but it really does feel like this is the main theme of the series.

Mother earth... funny how this kind of sounds like the combination of Mother and Earthbound.

I absolutely lo- ((encounters enemy))

songs from earthbound beginnings is always so sad (like smiles and tears from earthbound) sad music kind of made the game what it is today and why we got earthbound and mainly mother 3 today

Mother is a underrated game.

i’ve just realised this song is used in the ending theme for this game

Mother forever

In the town of Onett, there is a kid named Ness. He was a special boy with many friends and powers stemming from his mind. He would release his inner machinations to the world with the release Super Smash Bros in 1999. The boy's life was never the same.

I may not like the game itself that much but I absolutely adore the music of Mother. Its almost impressive how they made such simple tunes so memorable.

I have this game on my switch it’s really good

0:30 and the winner is ness!

Long ago, two races ruled over Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS. UPD: Fixed typo

The start of the best series ever known.

At 1.5x it sounds a bit happy

Fun fact: the mother sieres is a horror rpg franchise

Hearing this music always makes my heart ache (but in a good way?)

I know I have bad opinions, but I like this game the most in the trilogy.

ディスプレイの中 現実feeling on my mind

No crying until the end…

Why is this Inspired by Undertale/Deltarune
