Miracle of Sound: Normandy (Mass Effect 2)

[Dominic Burchnall]

Ashamed to say this is the first Miracle of Sound I have listened to. On the upside, I don't think I could've found a better place to start. I've got a backlog to work through tonight.

As an aside; 4:35, GRUNT!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Zhukov]

I hereby declare this song to be really bloody good.

Also, decidedly nifty.

As an aside; 4:35, GRUNT!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heh, don't worry. Whoever you see getting hit by that blast gets up again.

 

[PortalThinker113]

Wow... I love all of your previous work, Gavin, but this, from a songwriting perspective, is by far the best work you've ever done... Simply amazing. I clapped. It was great.
This had better be the credits song of Mass Effect 3, or BioWare will have truly missed out on something fantastic.

Heh, don't worry. Whoever you see getting hit by that blast gets up again.

Well, if there would be anyone able to get back up after being knocked off their feet, it would be Urdnot Grunt.

I absolutely did not bawl like a baby while listening

*cough*

 

[Stammer]

Awesome song, dude. Best one yet, and considering the others in the Miracle of Sound lineup that says a lot. It was so worth the wait to hear this song.

 

[Not Enough Gun]

Absolutely loved it. Incredibly beautiful, and insanely catchy.

 

[shiajun]

Wow....it's incredible. Now I have to wait until it's at bandcamp. This one is fighting with Little Sister for my favorite. I love the ambience of Little Sister, but this one's just epic.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I. Love. This. Fucking. Song!

I do believe I'm going to be listening to this all week, and when I see this on bandcamp I'm getting it as well!!

 

[JWRosser]

Another awesome song! I think I prefer this one to Commander Sheppard.

Sir, I will purchase your album!

 

[MiracleOfSound]

From a pure songwriting perspective, this is by far your best song. Nice job.

Thanks, I'm quite happy with the structure, took me a long time to get it right!

Gavin...Your talent is immeasurable. You are the greatest contemporary musician to ever live. You do what you love,man. Rock on. Stand tall,never fall,man.

OT: Yeah,I love the song.

Thanks for the lovely comment

I'm glad you found it emotionally stirring A lot of effort went into making this one a but more intense and emotional than my usual stuff.

Well, Bioware clearly like this song. Who knows, maybe they'll take the hint!

YOU HEAR ME BIOWARE? TAKE THE HINT! PUT THIS MANS SONGS INTO MASS EFFECT 3!

[F-I-D-O]

Damn...
Russ Pitts (he does the vids right?) does pretty well under pressure
Great song as always, loved the lyrical style, they did a great job of conveying how small things are in the universe. Also, there was a lot of emotion in the singing. Loved the melody too.
Damn...

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

I suddenly want to play Mass Effect even though I never had the desire to before. That's how good this song is.

That's exactly what I was thinking. It makes me want to go out and buy it now, heh.


This is probably your best song ever, Miracle. A personal favorite of mine as well. Wonderful work!

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Simply amazing. Another hit. I love it.

Will you consider writing a Deus Ex song one day?

Already planning it, just have to finish Human Revolution first

 

[Sperium 3000]

I think this one is even better than "Commander Shepard". I'm just a sucker for songs with beautiful lyrics, and this one certainly deliver. Great work as always MoS, here's looking forward to your next work. Ah, quick question thought, is there a way for me to download any of your songs? Perhaps you have a album in the works?

 

[Excludos]

So amazing. I'm not really that huge of a fan of Mass Effect, but this song moved me. Really, Really well done.

 

[Juan Regular]

From a pure songwriting perspective, this is by far your best song. Nice job.

Thanks, I'm quite happy with the structure, took me a long time to get it right!

And it shows, though I have to say that every single time I hear the second part of the verse, when you sing "The tiniest flicker on the edge of the sky", I always expect a change in percussion. Don´t know where that comes from.
But anyway, it´s a great song. A real shame Bioware just had to move your GC appearance to 1pm.

 

[Boba Frag]

I was lucky enough to spot the preview you showed along with the great interview you gave.

I'm only listening to it second time round now, but it's absolutely wonderful... It really captures the depth of the engagement Mass Effect can have on you as you play it. There's so much soul to it, and it shows through every part of the song.

While the video is making me want to mess Collecters up something vicious, the song is making me want to tread the lonely void, to see a sky light up by a newborn star, to fight for the weak and lost.
To give my life to Normandy.

Magnum Opus, Gavin!
