This game stays with you for a LONG time.

"You know, as bad as those things are, at least they're predictable. It's the normal people that scare me." - Bill

The worst thing about this game is that you'll never experience it for the first time again

it's been 10 years and this ost still lives in my head rent free

This intro menu on The Last of Us is absolutely perfect. The music, the scenery of the window and the decrepit house. It's this strange dichotomy of hope mixed with despair; light, but darkness; relaxation, but anxiety. Does anyone else know what I'm saying?

Good to sleep to, or just lay in bed and think about life.

“I guess no matter how hard you try,You can’t escape your past” -Joel from the last of us

That ending where Joel does what he does. And then it just takes you back to the main menu. There will never be a feeling quite like that again.

That's not just a game. This is pure art!

Didn't even notice Ellie's knife.

This feels so different after finishing TLoU 2...

This Game Will Always Have A Special Place In Our Hearts .

When I played this game, I had no idea what it was about. I said, hey this game looks pretty cool, and tried it out. This opening song made stop and stare that the window, I was wondering what this game is going to do to me emotionally. I thought Joel's daughter was Ellie in the trailers, and then I see Sarah I was like, okay the girl just grows up and dyes her hair. When Sarah died, I got chills and remember having to take a break. It was just so sad!

Gustavo Santaolala is a genius. GENIUS

This song played right after Henry shoots Sam and kills hilmself. I will never forget that moment.

I know it sounds corny as all hell but i remember the first time i played this game was the day after my mother passed away, i was looking for literally anything to get my mind away from what was happening and i found The Last of Us. Its hard to explain but this game and its OST helped so much, ill never forget it.

I Bought A PS4 Only Because Of The Last Of Us...

0:24 always gives me the chills, makes me highlight every emotional moment of the game for some reason...

It’s honestly the first 40 seconds that does it for me. Literally bone chilling. I miss my life in the year 2013.

2:22 man this one hits hard , so damn hard

This game is the best game I have ever played!!! And the music is just perfect

0:55 Tears start flowing.

You don’t know how happy I got hearing this in episode 6

I’m glad i’m not the only one listening to this because of this crazy pandemic.

I remember every time before loading the game, I'd sit for a few minutes just listening to this...

i love the main menu i stay there hours and hours hear it

1:04, those simple guitar notes tell you that this game ain't joking around and gives me the feeling of WOW and excitement just by listening to those guitar notes 😌👌🏻

*“I struggled for a long time with surviving. And no matter what, you keep finding something to fight for."*

It makes me think of every second I spent playing this game - all the feels and the memories. I love it

What I find amazing about this video is the knife on the window sill: you can tell the uploader played the game, was amazed by it, and realized just how precious the menu theme is in its connection to the overall theme of The Last of Us.

This is sad. You can tell right away this will be sad. It begins with a dirty wall and window with vines and fluttering curtains in the breeze, the lighting, the minor music, slow and dreary, all together giving an already ominous and depressing experience. It's beautiful and haunting at once, and it stayes with you. So much in such a small thing A beautiful work of art before the game's first cut scene even begins.

Listening to this intro makes you feel like if you were there

Anyone else saw the trailer of The last of us part II and just feel the urgent need of hear the main menu music again?

And to think, this is the company that brought us Crash Bandicoot all those years ago...

10 years later and im playing it again on PC , qoute to someone else in this comment section, it stayed longgggggg time with me

When I listen this music I wanna to say one thing "JOEL"😭😭😭😭😭😭

The melancholy is just inhuman...

I want a whole album that sounds like this... sounds of nature and slow guitar picking, etc...

Man... Best game I ever played. Played it for the second time 1 year ago sadly no other game brings the good old vibes....

This is a MASTERPIECE. I will carry this game in my heart for the rest of my life.

one of the BEST story based game I have played. it's quite unique. looking forward for a sequel

The FEELS hit me right in the heart

4:00 my favorite track on the main menu

My all time favorite game, such a masterpiece. My kids will play this when they’re grown

I love this game to astronomical levels. I've been playing games a long time (I'm 28 years old). TLOU might be my favorite game ever made, and I've played many games. I don't think it could have been done more perfect than the way it was. I've platinumed it and beat it on grounded. I love this game!!!

In these quarantine times, when I take my dog ​​for a walk, I love listening to this song while I walk, since there is no one on the street, it gives me an exceptional experience, as if I were really in the game, call me crazy

Still cant believe this game is now 10 year old.. this brings back so much good memories

Who else got chills when this played on the show?

My first video game that I played was The Last Of Us on Ps3. That was golden days Nostalgia.

This game stays with you for a lifetime

I still have goosebumps after 7 years, every time it rains I can't stop thinking about The Last of Us and Gustavo's soundtracks. This is a game that changed my life.

"No matter what happens you always find something to fight for"

Sam...

I just started playing this game; I know I’m very late to this party. But whenever I stop playing it, I keep thinking about Joel and Ellie and what’s going to happen next. The main menu’s music this video’s subject are really impactful when you start getting to know the story and the characters, evoking emotional states even when not playing the game. This game indeed stays with you for a long time, and it is a privilege for visually impaired individuals to play. I’m truly thankful to the developers who included accessibility options, allowing us blind people to play. Again, thank you for letting us blind people embark on a journey with Joel and Ellie, whom I love so much and have actually grown attached to.

This music still brings tears to my eyes after so many years...

All about this game is perfect and beautiful... What a masterpiece...

Its crazy, with the menu something as simple as some curtains blowing on a window sill with that music and the game sucks you in to that world.

Dude that part 0:56 ... incredible.

Greatest game of all time without any fkn doubt. I remember the first time starting this thing up in the middle of the night in a pitch black room listening to this music for the first time…… it gave me chills down my spine. What an absolute masterpiece from Naughty Dog

Got butterflies when I heard this song in episode 6. I instantly thought of this window

The end of fall almost made me cry :(

fucking goosebumps...

Episode 3’s ending is a reference to this I feel, such a great episode

This game and soundtrack has defined game history

"Start PS4, place the last of us remastered disc, press O, main menu, Never press the button, just laying back and hearing, thinking, wondering."

You know a game is good when the music alone stays with you over 5 years...just waiting on #2...

This plays when Henry shoots himself and when Joel falls from the horse after getting impaled.

The absolute masterpiece of the gaming industry, easily the best game there is. Great story, characters, gameplay, music, locations... all very original and very memorable. I remember how I first played a little bit of it when I was at my cousin's birthday; he had the game on his PS3, and it kinda mesmerized me.

reminds me so much of Metro last light menu music.

Life is strange Telltales the walking dead Last of us God of War Witcher 3 Firewatch Red dead redemption 1-2 They are not just games they are experiences that stay with you the rest of your life.

It’s 10x more sad hearing this after part 2

for me this brings back some old memories

I was with her when we played this game in 2015 just for the Remastered on PS4. She was by my side cuddling and listening to this main menu. Now she's gone and it's always heartbreaking going through this intro. A sight of her smile always compose into my mind, her laughs and her warmth. Now it's 2019, her arms lurk to a single abyss. The type of abyss how a lady think she could handle without a another pair of arms. An adventure what she likes to call, " A New Path "

Watching the window, the curtain slowly being blown by the wind, the sound of the outside, the leafs, the grass, the buzzes of the bees, while the music plays, it feels so atmospheric when you look at it that way. Like, you're really transported into that sad crazy world of The Last Of Us. It feels amazing.

This game gives off vibes that I can't explain anyone else feel that way

2:30 this whole bit about sums up the mood of the whole game

I need the last of us 2 :( edit : i cant believe this happening but guys tomorrow we got the last of us 2 ! edit after 5 years : no matter what they say about tlou 2 is best game ever made. i cant remember the game i cried like this.

after seeing the last of us 2 trailer, i know i need to came back and listen to this. the feels....

peak tlou days

I came back here after the The Last Of Us Part 2 disaster. I just wanted to listen this masterpiece once more, because this little moments, with the wind and the guitar sounds... makes Part 1 very special for me. This game has been a masterpiece for many people, and the way it develops the story, the music... It'll always take a special part in my heart. Just listen to this to remember all the good things I experienced 7 years ago. Rest In Peace, Joel. Hope you are fine with Sarah in heaven. Love you all.

Thanks Gustavo for another amazing soundtrack. 😊😊❤❤💖

OMG, i still play even though i finished it.

Pov: Finished the game just today. Listening to it at bathroom with headphones on, while taking a shit.. Battery is at 1%

My daughter wants me to play the guitar on her birthday party so I'm glad I found a tune now.

I need this game in my life. Right now: i'm saving money to get a ps4 and this game together.

Im sill trying to know what ost is it at 2:25. It's honestly my personal favorite. Sounds exactly what it'll be like in a apocalypse. When all hope is lost and you got nothing but yourself to survive and find the answer you're seeking.

I'm still listening to this masterpiece in 2022 anyone here still enjoying this

Here to cry after seeing the leaks...

I would get on the main menu, volume up and just relax falling asleep

It astounds me that after two years I can still confidently say this is still my favorite game, and the best I have ever played. I've never been touched as emotionally in my life as I had from a platform that I would have least expected it. I sincerely hope Naughty Dog, and others can try to match the quintessential beauty of that is The Last of Us.

played the game when it came out and still to this day, i haven't played a game that was this good. Sometimes I wish I could forget the game so I can relive it

Used perfectly in the show

pure melancholic... i play the game over and over and everytime it just feels like the first time i played it.

I'm so glad you uploaded this, this is actually in my top 3 TLOU soundtracks, and I was so surprised to not find it in the ost. Thank you so much

it's been almost 10 years since i have heard , seen and played this masterpiece of a video game and the SHEER SOUNDS and Memories i have made with this game at the time i played it has stuck with me ever since and i keep coming back to this video and TLOU OST it's just really special game for me.

R.I.P Joel

This game changed my whole perspective of gaming. It took me to another level of spirituality.

0:52-1:11 This makes me so sad and melancholy at the same time. This is amazing. Makes me think of Sam and Henry though. That scene made me a different person inside.

Who came here because they heard this in episode 6 ?

Ending to the third episode reminded me of this, the melancholy calmness is very peaceful
