View Full Version : Does it make an e one else sad?
Hey Guys hows it goin? http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/wave.gif
Last night, I was on my PC,happy as anything, talkin over the net to my friends. When... I suddenly had the urge to download something from 'Limewire' (legal downloading program) ...Any way, I must have sat there for five - ten minutes, and then I finally thought of something to download... The tomb raider one theme tune.
It was taking ages to download, slowlybut surely that little bar started to get longer... untill, my patience payed off, the tomb raider theme was complete, and I double clicked on it http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/clown.gif .
When that flute-like instrument began playing, I felt un-beleivably sad.
From about the age of five (im 14 now) my grandfather and I would always play the tomb raider games. 1, 3, last revelation, chronicles, it was our tradition, and what we had come to love.
But he was diagnosed with chest cancer; and passed away in 2002, he never got the chance to play angel of darkness... so I played it in memory of him... good memories.

Oh im sorry for your loss, I cry too, ive been playing it since i was 6 (14 on Tues) and i cry each time i hear the peaceful music, i also cry on the TR2 Song (Mixed of a guitar and tr1 tune)
Its so sad! my Great Grandaddy Died of Prostate Cancer in 2002 too.
Hi LaraLuva
im sorry too, the music really stirs me up, im actually listening to it now! The tomb raider 2 music is as close to me as the first because it was my father and myselfwho played that one. But yeah the tomb raider anthems just prove that tomb raider's gonna go on and on.
No, not sad. But i always find the TR1 music very very touching. http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Awww it makes me sad too. I always say to my sister when I hear it "This music brings sadness to my heart!" The eerie music in the tomb makes me feel touched as well.
Yeah That song brings back memories when my cousin use to play the game and the whole family was watch....the T-Rex *happy tear* lol

I've always loved the TR theme. It's simply brilliant.
i hope we get a good old tomb raider theme for the new game, u know a quality tune like in tr's 1 to 3 and last revelation a great theme too.
Yes, it makes me sad too. It's such a beautiful tune and I had never heard anything like it before.
Sorry to hear about your loss, [EDIT: I meant to say Cubiculum Neohili]. http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/hug.gif
listening to the TR1 theme brings back memories of my childhood. I'm 18 now. Sometimes I miss being 9 years old so much (that's about when I first started playing TR)... life was so nice and carefree then, and I was always smiling.
Tombraider always was and always will be very close to my heart.

The song makes me cry a little inside, its that good. Every time I sart up tr1 and 2, I just loze it! Its that good!
OOPS! Forgive me, I made that post late, I think... I meant to say "Sorry for your loss, Cubiculum Neohili"
DOH! And in school I was *good* at reading comprehension...
I find TR 1's music touching, not sad.
Dear forumraiders,
Thank you for sharing your personal life in connection to the music of TR1. For me its a mystery that takes me to a world of fantasy and story telling. Sometimes it is an escape for me from the world of predictable and mechanic customs.
Sorry to hear that, thats sad yes.
But i feel at ease when i hear it myself.
When i first heard it when the new site loaded, i though 'god shes back, she rocks' and i sat and contemplated the first game with the tune playing.
Simply invigorating i thought.
i love that song , it brings so many moments, specially tr moments, i agree with you mary cf about the 18 stuff im 18 too.. im sorry about everyones lost but at least all of you have good memories and not sad ones...

Yeah, I agree. I love every theme song on the Tomb Raider games.
Hi, I didn't know so many peeps felt the same way.
P.S A big thanks to EVERYONE who sympathised with Advis, Laraluva and myself (Cubiculum Neohili)

I find it quite scary when the fast egyptian music comes on, as it reminds me of the mummies!

I still think that TR1's theme is the best out of the whole lot.
I just remember when it started playing in one of the Egyptian levels (think it might have by 'City of Khamon' or whatever it was called) when you swim into that room with the alligator and you have to make your way up to the top...*sniff* beautiful. http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
TR1 seems to have had some of the best ambient music of all the games, along with TR4.
Right on! An it will never die!!!
Yeah, im sorry about the loss, ive been playing well since...since i was young lets say, so young that tombraider 1 grafics looked good, and when lara moved forwards without me touching the keys, i thought there was a ghost in he computer! I think i was about well...7 or 6, loved them all since then!
Long live TR1 and its dudy tunes!
I thought TR 4 theme had a very dark tune, but TR 1 was really good. It doesn't make me sad though...but I like it alright.
Hi Chandu,
How old were you when u started playing? I was six i think and i played with ,y grandad, he has passed awy now, that's what makes it so sad. :(
Sorry about your loss, Cubiculum Neohili. That's so sweet you played with your grandad.
Thanks ever so much, yep Lara was definately part of the family!

Does anyone else think that the Tomb raider 2 music is nothing compared to the music in the first one?

the 'lara's theme' on tomb raider 1 and the music when the T-rex shows his face on the 'Lost Valley' level are the best tracks on ANY tomb raider game!
