I think Snake Eater is the greatest. I love that song so much. I feel like it's a meme now, but when it kicks in as you climb the ladder...what a thrill!
I happen to think that the first No More Heroes is a masterpiece, and hearing "The Virgin Child Makes Her Wish Without Feeling Anything" over the credits was a perfect ending.

Sins of the Father, MGS V, available on iTunes

I could listen to that over and over.

Favorite Game, Cardigans, Gran Turismo, I think.

It's in German but when you read the translated lyrics it's based off an old poem. It's damn heart wrenching.

Ein Traum​

by Edvard Grieg​

Ein Traum
German source: Friedrich Martin von Bodenstedt
Mir träumte einst ein schöner Traum:
Mich liebte eine blonde Maid;
Es war am grünen Waldesraum,
Es war zur warmen Frühlingszeit:

Die Knospe sprang, der Waldbach schwoll,
Fern aus dem Dorfe scholl Geläut—
Wir waren ganzer Wonne voll,
Versunken ganz in Seligkeit.

Und schöner noch als einst der Traum
Begab es sich in Wirklichkeit—
Es war am grünen Waldesraum,
Es war zur warmen Frühlingszeit:

Der Waldbach schwoll, die Knospe sprang,
Geläut erscholl vom Dorfe her—
Ich hielt dich fest, ich hielt dich lang
Und lasse dich nun nimmermehr!

O frühlingsgrüner Waldesraum!
Du lebst in mir durch alle Zeit—
Dort ward die Wirklichkeit zum Traum,
Dort ward der Traum zur Wirklichkeit!
A Dream
English translation © Richard Stokes
I once dreamed a beautiful dream:
A blonde maiden loved me,
It was in the green woodland glade,
It was in the warm springtime:

The buds bloomed, the forest stream swelled,
From the distant village came the sound of bells—
We were so full of bliss,
So lost in happiness.

And more beautiful yet than the dream,
It happened in reality,
It was in the green woodland glade,
It was in the warm springtime:

The forest stream swelled, the buds bloomed,
From the village came the sound of bells—
I held you fast, I held you long,
And now shall never let you go!

O woodland glade so green with spring!
You shall live in me for evermore—
There reality became a dream,
There dream became reality!

I'll share with you guys one of the most beautifully scored tracks I've ever heard; the unabridged version has some Gregorian chanting for lyrical qualification but I'll drop abridged here.

I've played Warframe for over 5 years and this tune has never left me. Even if you don't know the greater context – the lore and story when this cues, give a listen, if you would. (Time to listen: 2m)
