Which ESO song has left an impact on you that you keep going back to listen to? (and where)

Harrdarrzarr

It isn't really a song, but I really like the riddler in that Coldharbour quest where you can release Angof. Really nice rhymes:)

Ilsabet

There's a lot of great music in this game, but I can think of one track that has particularly emotionally resonated with me. I'm not sure what it's called, but it was added to Auridon when Summerset came out. Ever since I finished the Crystal Tower quest this tune gives me feels whenever I hear it.

I always stop and listen to "Blood for the Pact"

Back Alleys and Bad Intentions

Vevvev

For me its the Tides of the Abecean Sea which plays in all of the Skyrim areas.

Honestly. I wish they brought back the original main menu theme. It's hype as hell still after all these years. Maybe for the 5th anniv

This makes me feel so nostalgic... goosebumps

Any bard song with Malukah singing will get me to stop in game.

The Red Diamond bard song is good too.

The one that plays when you get into Cyrodiil and the one that plays (or used to play, not sure) on Dolmens. I dont have access to Youtube atm, so can't link them (YT blocked by corp. proxy )

There's music?

First thing I do in every game I've ever played is turn off the music, with one exception where the music was essential as it changed depending on whether threats were near or far and dropped a lot of clues.

I prefer the noise of battle!

"victory.immortalb16_ESO" That is what my boyfriend does. PVPer I assume? We will be at a keep and when all of a sudden I will hear battle music and I am like "I hear battle music! Where is the battle?" and my boyfriend has no idea.

For me, the battle music is an audio cue itself, as it is distinct from the character being "in combat".

@Ilsabet That is so odd. They give the name in the YT video but it is not in the OST. I looked on Spotify and amazon and that song title is no where in there. @ZOS_SoundMaster Is there an album this is in?

Interesting placement since the Abecean Sea is on the other side of the continent between AD and DC.

Definitely Bruma Against the Jeralls. Especially the last minute is so good!
It's one of the themes, played in the Daggerfall Covernant areas. In heard it probably over 100 times in my first game hours, so it makes me feel very nostalgic.

xxthir13enxx

Hmm...interesting...
for awhile there were a few cool songs playing in Cyrodiil....but now... I don’t think I’ve heard them in quite awhile...did they get removed or did I just get used to them and turn them into white noise in my mind...?lol

Irylia

The combat music.
I listen to it every time I enter cyro because I can’t get out of combat.

"Horizon of Cyrodiil"

I may have heard it before, but the first time I actually noticed it and felt moved by it was after I defeated one of the main questline bosses in Glenumbra. I had so many doubts about it, back when I was a new player, on taking on enemies with more HP than 100k (lol).

So when I killed the boss I was stunned, and when I heard that music as I emerged from the final boss's lair, it felt like a literal crowning moment of awesome.

It really left an impression on me for some reason. Made me think of how little I knew starting out ESO, and how far I've come at that particular point lol :P Cheesy, I know.

Siohwenoeht

For me, all the DC zone music just sounds epic. Which pains me to say since "For the Queen!"

Craglorn music is right up there as well.

I've been searching everywhere for the sheet music to several of these songs but haven't found them yet. My piano, organ and guitar are begging to have these played on them lol!

Moog

Turn to stone great song

SanguineMyBrother

The song called Weapons Drawn. It's played in Cyrodiil and Craglorn. I would love it made into a music box for my house.

Odovacar

I love them all TBH... but nothing compares to the sounds/song during boss fight battles.

Yuffie91

I love that music in Morrowind. The one that plays in the original Morrowind also

YAS! Great song! Great feeling that comes with it too!

I defiantly think you got use to it. It's still there. lol.

I wonder if the sound master would help with that? I am not sure. they have done some crazy nice things before.

I 110% agree with you! Or let us pick music for our house?

I assume you started playing TES series with Morrowind?

Tommy_The_Gun

I don't know if that counts but basically one of the bard songs performed by Malukah

"Three Hearts As One"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-lGevvO2vw

Also there is another piece of music that apparently is a part of Official ESO soundtrack that is basically a Hyped-UP Epic Version of the first song I mentioned:

"Three Hearts Afire"

@Yuffie91 , Morrowind is the one for me too. It reminds me of original Morrowind. And yes, @Kuramas9tails I did start with that one .

This soundtrack is beautiful and always plays in my Dominion homes and in Dominion zones.

The soundtracks of ESO prove that you don't need Jeremy Soule to deliver a strong emotion, but Jeremy Soule had indeed set the tone for Elder Scrolls games of the future like Inon Zur to Dragon Age after Trevor Morris took the reins. After hearing the soundtrack of Murkmire, Clockwork City, Summerset and even the music to the Elsweyr expansion's trailers, I realized that Jeremy Soule desperately needs another composer who is well versed on other cultural instruments beside just European.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI3pIYlptBw

This was also another beautiful soundtrack, I would like to know who the composer of this soundtrack was. @ZOS_SoundMaster

Jeremy Soule has a limited range which wouldn't have been able to do the soundtrack for Murkmire like this, his European string ensemble has its limits. A European string ensemble simply wouldn't work here. I'd love to see this composer work with Jeremy Soule for the next Elder Scrolls game for the usage of Arabic instruments like what Maclaine Diemer did for the Path of Fire soundtrack of Guild Wars 2.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6dCOmAl8tg

A little taste of how that sounds.

TL;DR
I love various composers, but all of them have their flaws (I.e. Jeremy Soule having a limited cultural range to European instruments in soundtracks and Inon Zur also having a limited range) and I think the composer in ESO is doing an amazing job with the music direction.

^ ALSO THIS SOUNDTRACK IS DOPE! ^

@Claudman I thought @ZOS_SoundMaster was the composer of the music for Elder Scrolls Online. Brad Derrick. I believe I remember reading him saying once that he got a lot of inspiration from the composer of Skyrim.

I am finding that the music we started with is the one we keep going back to.

Claudman

@Kuramas9tails Ah, I wanted to know the name of the enigmatic "Soundmaster". Lol
Thank you and I can indeed hear the inspiration which Brad took from Jeremy.

This is my favorite eso song because of how a ridiculous subject is taken seriously
