I wish I can reset the game along with my memory to re live the experience again.

You've been here more than once.

Skyrim has the greatest ambient music ever created.

My father died in 2015, and this track basically played on a permanent loop in my headphones for many months afterwards. It's still the track I go to when everything in my life feels a little too overwhelming.

this is so deep i don't know where the fuck i am.

Somewhere somehow, this place exists.

It's been so many years since I really played the game but I will never stop coming back for a listen! Who else is here in 2024?

I've never played Skyrim. This video/music helped me through my graduation test six years ago. Now it helps me with work.

This better be what it sounds like in heaven

when suddenly.... NEVER SHOULD HAVE COME HERE !!!!

Left everything a couple years ago to start a new life. Always wanted to visit the Rocky Mountains. I lived alone in a small house in the mountains. No internet or TV. Just books and an fm radio. Well I was up at around 3am one night, couldn’t sleep. Felt lonely. Something urged me to go for a walk. It was a quiet May morn, so I walked down to the field. What I saw was akin to some movie, some fantasy. The moonlight shined over the towering snow capped mountains, the wheatgrass gently swaying in the night breeze. I looked up and the entire sky was lit green with the Aurora Borealis and the white speckles of a billion stars. Not a soul for miles. No street lights, no cars, no people. In that moment I don’t think I’ve ever experienced more peace and awe in my entire life. I just sat there for hours, and although lonesome, for that whisper of time, it felt like what life should be. It felt perfect.

4:53 Best part. that soothing guitar melody, with that light thunder and rain following, just soooo magical and relaxing...

Loved hearing some of this music after coming out of a long dwemer ruin.

You know what I love about this, it brings good people.

In 2016, at the age of 22, I was employed as a Chinese-Russian translator at a mobile gaming company in Guangzhou. During that time, I frequently played this masterpiece that never failed to soothe my soul. I rented an apartment with my gf in this big city Guangzhou, and this music became the soundtrack to those days. Fast forward to today, I am 29 years old, happily married to the love of my life (its not a gf that i mentioned above), and we welcomed our daughter into the world just last week. My life has taken a complete turn as I transitioned into a career in IT development. I decided to move back from China to my home country, Kyrgyzstan, where I now live a peaceful and beautiful life. Yet, this music its a nostalgic portal to the past, allowing me to vividly recall those cherished moments from my time in China...

To anyone who is also seeing this from being on a Mario Sunshine ost playlist, you’re not alone

I would like to congratulate anyone who's listened to this entire song without sleeping or without playing Skyrim.

I listen to this to get away from the real world and escape to the world of my fantasy. I wish I could wander the forests, mountains, and plains of Skyrim in real life, hearing the birds chirp, feeling the gentle drizzle on my face, and searching for adventure.

16:00 from this point, you'll hear one of the most beautiful sounds that human being ever created.

16:25... makes me feel like I'm on the lake drifting away and entering into another world

"you can't fast travel when there is enemies nearby" "what the fuck but there is no-" *a saber cat attacks you outta no fucking where*

I come here, when I want to escape my world.

Skyrim music saved my life, Im not exaggerating here

I listen to this since the game came out. I was studying in that time. My Girlfriend betrayed me, my grandpa died. I was absolutely lost and felt miserable. I listened to this in the train in a nonstop loop, looking out the rainy window, watching the forests and clouds go by. It brought me home to childhood memories with my grandpa, family, brother, etc. Pulled me back to good times and made me feel emotional, spiritual, melancholic, but happy and fulfilled at the same time. Since then this is my therapy whenever i feel bad about life, it always helps. This is music beyond art. It is like listening to inner peace. And the best thing about this is knowing that all of you may have similar experiences. May it be nostalgia, the game experience, just the music itself. May you all have a wonderful and fullfilled life! And an undeniable huge "thank you!" to Jeremy Soule.

I play this while falling asleep. It does wonders.

If they don't have Jeremy Soule return to compose the next TES soundtrack, they will be making a grave mistake.

This game is art. This game is culture.

How was this created by mortal beings

37:00 I just love how the ambience is slowly dissapearing at the end, to be replaced by the wind, and eventually silence..

Skyrim is a game that has impacted me more than any game ever has. It doesn't need a gripping storyline, or really, one at all. No, it isn't the politics of the game, or even the dragons. No, it's knowing I can do whatever I want and go wherever I want, and traverse the wilderness of Skyrim for hours and never tire of it. The killing, the battles, the dragon fights with epic music, that's only the cherry on top. I feel a sense of belonging as I listen to this...wishing there was such a world as Skyrim. This strips me to my essence. Nothing describes my longing to live out with nature in a world of beauty such as this....maybe without killing various beasts, but that only adds that fantasy element, when we all wish we were powerful and can do anything. The music touches something in my heart, the subtleties of this game have affected me so emotionally. I think I'm the only one who has killed a frost dragon, while battling an ice troll and a pack of wolves while crying my eyes out at the beauty of this game.

28:35 is always so special to me, like, it always triggers at random places, and I have to freeze else it’ll stop playing... such an underrated part, why has no-one mentioned it?

Humans belong to nature it makes us happy and feel alive

There's always a D-bag dragon that just HAS to ruin everything

January 2nd 2024, still here. It's been almost 11 years since I first played this game. It changed me forever. It's been 8 years since I finished college. I used to study in the faculty library with "Skyrim Atmospheres" as my background music. This sounds literaly helped me to pass my exams back then. I keep coming back whenever I have to study hard again, or when I need to reflect on things.

Makes me want to just abandon this rat race in life and go run in the rain till I find solitude.

Never have I written an essay on Soviet Russia faster.

i really miss this game. i have some sort of nostalgic depression where i think things will never be as good as they were. i know i should just get over it and its just a stupid video game but i was happy back in 2012 when i played it. good times :/

Man.... honestly it's just really come to a point, even 11 years later, that I still come back to the Skyrim Atmospheres track *specifically*, particularly when I can't sleep and my mind is racing, or I'm sick with a cold, or my anxiety is at an all-time-high, or I just want to sit down and focus on my writing.... which can be difficult because this track REALLY helps me with sleep. And when I want to sit down and write with this in the background, I end up really sleepy 🤣😂 ... Anyway, I guess that goes to show how effective it is, though, tbh. I swear this track is all you need when you want a restful sleep. If you're reading this, I hope you have a fantastic week and end to your 2022. And may the next year be amazing for you!😊

Listening to this whilst high on 2g of magic mushrooms is a surreal experience.

This track has been on my PC for two years and, as of now, has been played 9573 times. I think Jeremy Soule might have done a good job. Lmao

thanks for this video. I recently lost my oldest and best friend Philip. he was 24 when he took his own life. he played the elder scrolls a lot and also modded. this really reminds me of him.. if you read this. call an old friend of yours..

35:27 love when this hits.

This has medicinal/therapeutic properties; providing relief for anxiety, heartache and insomnia. I really love how the ending is a slow fade out to pure white, as if all problems are ebbing away.

Perfect homework music. It helps me focus.

God i fucking love Skyrim

Last played skyrim in 2012, but this music keeps with me year over year.

You can tell how passionate everyone is about Skyrim by thumbing through these comments. This game also left a major impression on me and I must say there’s never been anything like it before or since. I remember playing this in the winter of 2011, with the snow falling outside of my window as I explored this massive world. As I was trapped inside of my home, I felt like I was discovering a second home in Skyrim. Escapism at its finest. This soundtrack is gorgeous and extremely well balanced too. Visions of the wide open tundra with mammoths and giants, the crashing waves of the icy oceans, and the dark labyrinths of Skyrim transition seamlessly through the song...

28:34 is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.

That moment when you're a Nord and you're standing on the edge of a cliff at dusk and enjoying the view along with your khajiit, orc, Argonian, Mer and fellow Nord companions after a gorgeous exploration of a Dwarven ruin, sharing the spoils of the loot run and thinking about what people could accomplish in real life if they worked together with passion towards achieving their goals, if only they were willing to look past their differences for a change.

Since 2011 I’ve always come back to this track to make restless nights, restful

I used to listen to this in 2013-2014 all the time when studying for my computer science courses.... can't believe its been 10 years already. Time flies...

...My god... I'm teary eyed from this...The memories...I wish I could go to Tamriel and live there eternally............😪

If Tamriel was real, and I was given the opportunity to go there, I would gladly leave everything here behind, and start over there.

For all seasons, for any mood, for sleeping, working, walking, reading and chilling

17:42 - 21:11 This part really gives me the feels, yet this part is barely ever mentioned. So underrated.

Wow this music sure turns people into poets, look at all the huge ass comments with big words describing landscapes

I bet everyone had a moment in TES games when u just stop and enjoy OST and view

I think every human being should have strong contact with music, I have depression and anxiety and this has helped me a lot, I love it!

31:12 snow night horn hits differently

14:18 and 21:12 just really get me in the nostalgia. I don't know why.

That change in depth around 2:33 is like audible ecstasy. It sounds AMAZING with headphones on and volume jacked up.

This soundtrack saved my life

really gets me in the mood for a Gay Schlaatttt

Tell you what, going out into a field with minimal to no light pollution, laying down looking at the stars, and wearing headphones listening to this is so perfect.

When hearing this, it makes me reminisce of early childhood. Bounding through dew kissed fields in early morning light and dancing to the song of the finches. Mindlessly romping around and enjoying the only place I had ever known. Summer would soon bring on fall, and the northern winds. The cool, but divine caress of a winterly draft was such a delight. I'd remember them being subtile reminders of late winter's snow laced hills, and the happiness it'd bring me to feel the touch of winter.

I’ve played this just about every night for the past three years

Can I just note that I found this while listening through classical artists like Chopin and Beethoven. Doesn't that just say more than words ever could?

Great for writing essays and awesome for sleep makes you have dreams of this beautiful world.

Sometimes I'd just sit under the Skyrim moons and just look... and listen... There is so much beauty in our reality - even the parts that aren't real.

Skyrim made me realize how much I actually love epic soundtracks like these. Almost 10 years after the release I still come back to the Skyrim-OST to find some peace of mind. I listen to radio-music for at least 8 hours a day (at work) and I feel so bored and annoyed by it, that I really need some nice Soundtracks to clear my mind. Nowadays the music without lyrics gives me the most goosebumps. Back when I was still at school I always made my homework with these Skyrim-Atmospheres playing in the background, now I really love to read some nice fantasy-novels when it is playing. And also it feels a bit like coming home.

ah yes my favorite part of the mario sunshine ost

i have used Skyrim Atmospheres for many years now at night to send me off to sleep. never fails!

Getting into a steamy hot bath, light some scented candles, lean back and relax...have this music on my Bluetooth speaker, I imagine I'm some kind of beautiful woodland elf, bathing in the hot springs of some mystical mountain in some fantasy world and forget about all my woes for about an hour. The nature/wind/bird ambience helps a lot too. I completely lose myself in this gorgeous, soothing music! :)

14:37 I just thought I had to point this out. It is a heavily underrated part, but I think it really brings out the aspect of Skyrim and the soundtrack, and this little bit right here is why I love absolutely Jeremy Soules work. Its like he's got a routine you got the angelic voice that is pure and lifts off to greatness and happiness showcasing all the good in the world.. but then it always slowly spirals down into darkness with a deeper tone and voice also letting you know that the world is dangerous and there are evils that will await you. Finally you got a touch of that deep Nordic feel which is absolutely mesmerizing and showcases the natural environment and nature of Skyrim. Kind of making you wonder about all your ancestors in real time, and what was out there. Absolutely beautiful and perfect. Jeremy really did it with this OST project. He really gives you room to let your imagination flow and mind drift.

The track that starts at 14:19 is absolutely amazing.

Run a warm bath, light a few candles, and relax to the sounds that Jeremy Soule has created. All your worries will disappear as you transcend; through the water, to Skyrim. Whether it be the lush Evergreen Grove or the hot pools that are overlooked by the Atronach Stone. The music will aide you in your spiritual journey across this vast landscape. The subtle sounds of birds infused with the fresh gusts of wind will take you to different locations until you reach a sense of true tranquility.

This is what I listen to when I need to relax or before I sleep. It's just calming and makes the mind wander.

Man I miss sitting in front of a heater with a warm blanket wrapped around me delving into some skyrim on a weekend or holiday I hope this elder scrolls coming up is good

ahhh yes, my favorite super mario sunshine song

The piano starting at 8:10 just makes me want to run outside and enjoy nature for hours.

I use to instruct a geriatric yoga class for cardiac patients and included this track for our classes. They were baffled when, upon asking for who the artist was, I informed them it was a video game soundtrack.

The most beautiful soundtrack ever

I feel like I’ve forgotten to thank you for uploading this. I listen to this every single night to get to sleep, I’ve done so for years. I really appreciate this video, it means a lot to me. So thank-you.

On my quest to write 1700 words in a day, this music has become a perfect companion

I bought this game almost a year ago, and I still haven't beaten it. My friends think I just don't play it. I do, the week is just always packed full. But every Friday night, when I finally get a breather, I stay up extremely late and lose myself in Tamriel. I love to wander and embrace the atmosphere, taking mainly sidequests and just exploring. I love all of the random adventures and stories I'd get from just playing and not following some scripted events! The Companions and the College are the only guilds I've completed, I haven't touched the DLC, nor gotten halfway through the main story. I have hardly used forging, enchanting or alchemy. It may seem strange to my friends that I don't binge it. But I love looking back at all I've done in a year, and looking at how much more I still have left to do.

I heal to this. Others study or relax to this, I have chronic spinal pain, so I heal to this. Thank you for creating this and blessings of peace that transcends all understanding to everyone & Happy Thanksgiving from Las Vegas

It’s not about the game, it's about the friends we made along the way. Or idk, I've no friends

Man, of all the games I've played, Skyrim's music really gets to me...

I listen to this while I hike in the mountains. I swear I was in Skyrim for 42 minutes and 34 seconds.

I miss being in high school not having a care in the world playing this game religiously until 3-4 AM. I used oblivion and Skyrim like many to escape from everything. Perhaps it is time to venture back home once more……….

00:00-4:23 меня так успокаивает, дождь, я под эту музыку смотрел на звезды, мечтал, шум ветра, попавших листьев, это сказка...

To be honest, this is epic and emotional. I’ll put this on my speaker and lay in bed at night thinking about life, all my regrets, and my drama im going through. It lets me relax, and just lay there. Thinking into another world almost. Let it take your mind. You'll be in a world where everything is beautiful and its just a woods or lake or stream, and its peaceful and your off doing your thing.

Beautiful, immersive soundtrack. The perfect relaxation music. Skyrim is one of the most epic, grand games ever made!

The feeling is like being underwater. Just floating there leaf on a stream. Wind blows as you pass over the valley, the sound of the river rushing, the frogs croaking. Now flying above, the clouds take a heavy wind over the sea and turn Grey and dark. Yet despite all the things going on. Your mind was completely focused, peaceful, and clear thing ever. The mountains are jagged and cold, this land is unforgiving. But through it all, it really had a strange beauty to it. The whole valley seemed to shine in the moonlight, shining like silver glass. Greeted only with the paths of rivers, and the forest that shrouded the land entirely, save for the mountains cold and desolate. You fade away into a deep sleep like feel, than you fade into the blowing wind. p.s spot the gandalf reference in the next five minutes to verify you are cool.

Got laid off from work,went into my local game store and it was the day skyrim came out,serendipity.

Astounding beauty in heavenly tones. He would be glad...

All i see when i hear this is those northern lights in skyrim's sky, i know it's only a game but damn it's so beautiful.

I've been putting this track on every night whenever I go to bed for 2 years straight. Can't go to sleep without it, and there's nothing quite like this. Jeremy Soul has got to be my favorite artist of all time.

This soundtrack its heaven

When that piano key comes at 8:10...believe it or not, when that came on and I was standing on a cliff watching the sunset (in the game), it somehow inspired me to go to Washington D.C. for the first time, and I was by myself. Before playing the game I thought "how could I do that?" then that moment came with that extremely calming atmospheric sound and I just thought "wait, of course I can, this is my World".
