I miss this song, it brings back nostalgia for 2011, experiencing for the first time the story of portal 2 and the mystery videos on UA-cam at the time.

Why dies this song nake me reconsidor everything ive ever dine good and bad

How can I join?

When I encounted the radio with the song I legitemately thought they gone out their way to license music and put it in some easter egg, similarly to the "Take on Me" easter egg for Just Cause 4.

Does anyone know why, this song was removed?

i've never played portal 2, but i'd noticed, when i went looking for songs by the national, at some point i had "liked" this song on spotify. so i played it to refresh my memory and fell absolutely in love with it immediately. and not too long after it became my most replayed song, it was removed from the service. i miss it everyday.

This song is a work of art that I can't help but come back to.

I loved Portal 2, but it only now occurs to me that this fits perfectly for me when I play Path of Exile and the league ends without finding a mirror.

Yoooo unlocked memory

3:36 wing spread

this is my post nut clarity song

Put this back on Spotify 😢

Such a good song! I guess I never heard it since I grew up in the Left 4 Dead fanbase.

This song has such a special place in me, it's unspeakable

I always imagined Chell lingering in the chamber for hours, just listening to this song loop again and again, knowing that she couldn't take the radio with her.

To me this felt like a parallel to Still Alive because of how Matt Berninger sings trial it sort of sounds like triumph, sort of giving the lyric a double meaning.

emo core, love it. bts could never

The best nostalgic song I could ever meet from Portal 2 💔🖤

Love this song! ❤❤❤❤❤

This song gives Hope and Hopelessness at same time

I never gave this song much thought and didn’t realize the vocalist was Matt Berninger, and I’ve loved the National since middle school. I don’t think I ever imagined that my favorite band would have written a song for a game I like. P.s. if you ever get the chance, see the National live, probably the most incredible day of my entire life.

This is my life song.

This game makes me remember a legendary old game made by valve.

bangwer

It feels so stupid for a song that’s from Portal 2, a game I’m horribly obsessed with, to become my comfort song but honestly, I love it. It feels soft, and comforting, and grey, and it smells like rain- it makes me think of those days where the clouds are overcast and maybe raining, but in the short distance the sun is so bright that the world is both grey and yellow and green and blue all at once. It’s beautiful. And listening to the song makes me think of Portal which makes me happy. I want to try and animate Portal and Portal 2 completely as if films. I don’t know if anyone’s done that before, but I’d like to even if they have. I have this idea of Chell finding the den and the radio, and solemnly looking at the Doug Rattman’s wall art reflecting on how hard it’s been just to end up right back where she started, testing under GLaDOS’ rule, and eventually sitting down with the radio in her arms playing the song. It fades out as she falls asleep, and a dream sequence animation plays for the rest of the song before it eventually ends and fades back out and Chell wakes up. She gets up, portals out of the den, finishes the test and leaves the radio just in front of the Emancipation Grill so that it lives on forever. I can’t guarantee that I’ll ever actually do this or even be able to, but I like to think about doing it, and I like to think about it.

Happy 2024 to the remaining portal fandom.

I carried the little radio that played this song around the test chamber as I completed the task and then waited until it ended to exit the room. 😩😆

I play Portal 2 (and the Orange Box with Half-life 2 and Portal) from time to time. Never gets old. On this day I just discovered for the first time the den where this music played. I feel so dumb for never noticing it cause it’s quite obvious, but man am I happy I got to discover something again in an old game I love.

Tell me why this was removed from all streaming services

Two of my very close friends taught me to play this on piano in school years ago. We lost one of them in 2015 and this song always reminded me of him. Today I just found out my best friend who helped teach me this passed away as well. This song is giving me some peace, it will forever be special to me.

Had to come here after seeing it’s been removed from Spotify. Such a beautiful song

I don't get why this song is censored in my country's spotify tbh

Valve has made so many great games and products, but I still consider Portal 2 to be their Magnum Opus.

I feel like Rattmann right now ❦

I am here because I have exemplary taste in music, not because of some silly little videogame

Wish they would add this back to Apple Music? :(

The fact that this song isn't on Spotify is criminal

Anyone else notice the album cover is a skull? Two big black areas are the eyes and the smaller one the nose, then teeth are the non missing parts of that straight 1/3

I remember this from my Portal phase back when I was younger. There was this one lego stopmotion I saw that used it, so... between nostalgia and knowing HL and Portal occur in the same continuity, thus, this could be a song played over some Resistance radio station to lament humanity's current situation... Geez man, made me a little moody. Edit: Replayed Portal and Portal 2 a week or more ago. DAMN, what a set of games. I know it's an overused meme but "Valve really dropped this banger and left." I mean the music, the story. It's one of the strongest examples of "Video games can be cinematic without stripping away your control." Portal 1 was kinda meh in comparison, but "Portal was the experiment, Portal 2 was the game." As Valve themselves said. And it still holds up, Portal 2 is in that weird limbo of being a source game but looking umpteen times better than most of its counterparts. Why? I haven't a clue. But everything in Portal 2 just looks smoother, and Wheatley is REALLY an amazing spectacle when you think about just how animated he is with all those moving parts. So dang good man.

The creator of Portal once said Chell isnt actually mute, she just chooses not to speak. Whether youre in the clean perfectly placed white walls of the test facility or the broken shambles of old aperture the game takes no hesitation in constantly reminding you that you are alone in this world. I think thats what made Rattmans dens feel so comforting and surreal, that another human could potentially exist. To me Portal feels like drowning in loneliness despite being surrounded by voices.

whoever took this off spotify should unalive themself

This song really does communicate the feeling of exile. Being and feeling completely isolated from anyone or everything else. No wonder it fits so well into Portal. You can really tell this communicated exactly what Rattmann was feeling locked down here on his own constantly, with only his fragmented mind to keep him company.

Why is this shit not on spotify?

I was scared shitless of ratman as a kid

I yearn for a Portal 3 everyday. If not I think about how Chell is probably lonely as hell and going through so much, and GLaDOS is too honestly

bought portal 2 today, heard this song on one of the radios. makes me feel something

They removed this from Spotify so now I'm here
