One of the things I appreciate about the Destiny 2 music rips (RIP to the loss from the copyright claim impersonation) is how many versions of a track there are (far more than any other video game fandom soundtracks I've seen), so putting them in a playlist on shuffle is IMO optimum way to listen to an "extended version".
It's been a little over a year since someone impersonated a Bungie affiliate and issued fake copyright claims; it's tragic that a bunch of channels deleted their videos and quit the community, and of the channels that returned the music rip community has new restrictive guidelines in what versions of a track they can publish if the track is on the OST so the tracks don't sound "too similar".
The reason there can be so many versions of a track is because the music isn't one long track in the game files but small "chunks" that are then arranged together based on triggers such as audio cues in combat or an audio script.
So using the music that plays during Queenswalk for example, all have noticeable differences that range from percussion being noticeable/absent to the tension versions that sound completely different from the action versions.
fun personal fact I use Shell of What Was (Action) (Queenswalk version) as my get the fuck up alarm, so now that I'm running Last Wish again I have to turn the music off for that encounter since I've pavlov'ed myself.
When you've only been playing destiny since Beyond Light, but listen to the OSTs regularly and simp for the warlock vanguard and only realize TODAY that she has her own theme.
Daddy, will you put the record with the duck song?
One day I put it on a Hendrix record and my son asked me: «Dad, who is he?» I answered: «My son, this is God»
(Robert Plant)
That’s pretty much how it was between us, isn’t it, Daddy?
"Do you see this gentleman? He can do magic! He can play the duck verse on the guitar! Now I'll make you listen..."
Happy Birthday, Jimi! ♐🎸♋ Seattle, Washington, US. November 27th, 1942

"The morning is dead
And the day is, too
There's nothing left here to meet me
But the velvet moon
All my loneliness I have felt today
It's like a little more than enough
To make a man throw himself away
And I continue
To burn the midnight lamp
Alone
Now the smiling portrait of youIs still hangin' on my frowning wall
But It really doesn't, really doesn't bother me
Too much at all
It's just the ever falling dust
That makes it so hard for me to see
That forgotten earring layin' on the floor
Facing coldly towards the door
And I continue
To burn the midnight lamp
Lord, alone
Burn
Lonely, Lonely, Lonely
Loneliness is such a drag
So here I sit and pace
That same old fireplace
Gives rise to the same old explosion
Goin' through my mind
And soon enough time me tell,
About the circus and the wishing well
And someone who will buy and sell for me
Someone who will toll my bell
And I continue
To burn the same old lamp
Lone
Yeah
Lightnin', can ya hear me callin' you?
So lonely
Gonna blow my mind
Yeah, yeah
Lonely lonely
My my"
The smoky look of the "mysterious wizard" on the cover of the album, spoke to me through the vortex of the record that was spinning and sounds, voices and music were coming out to it. This was already magic for me. Together with my father and Jimi Hendrix, I walked for the first time through the door to the wonderful dark side of music.
i will never understand when people act like zutara shippers are reaching when we say the crystal catacombs scene is intensely romantically coded because like... ignoring literally all other context (which does have other hallmarks of romantic coding, but literally pretend you don't know anything about the show or scene for a second)... what would you think happened in this picture?
would it .... would it maybe be an interrupted almost-kiss
