Half-Life Theme Song?

[Mellish]

I personally love the soundtrack to all the half-life games. I like it better than what most artists are producing today, but I've noticed it doesn't have a proper theme song. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I'm just wondering what you guys think what melody would make a good half-life theme song. It can be from the soundtrack or not. I think the ending credits track for half-life 1 would make a great theme song since when ever I listen to it, it reminds me of playing through all the games in the half-life series.

me thinks that "triage of dawn" "Guard down" or the VALVe theme song would all work

 

[Gordonsglasses]

I think "Dark energy" from Half Life 2 would make a good theme song.

 

[Mellish]

I've changed my mind. I think Dark Interval would make a good theme song

There is a menu music in the PlayStation 2 version.

I know, but it isn't used in any other half-life games. In fact that was the first version of half-life I played.

TBH I always think of the song when they show the Valve icon, to me that is pretty much the HL theme song... even though it's not.

Ep 2 had the most entertaining music out of all the games (a lot of bad ass tracks), but I love the ambience HL2 music has the most.

the End credit song in HL1 for the wining.

Hated that one, by far my least favorite HL song. So cheesey and unfitting to HL atmosphere. It sounds like something that would be played at a 80's modeling convention.

The song they play with the Valve logos is Hazardous Environments I think. It plays at the cliff scene in HL1.

As far as I've been concerned, the Half-Life "theme" has always been synonymous with the sound played when you receive your HEV suit in Red Letter Day. Not entirely sure which song it is, but I believe it's the same one ZT and rim are talking about.

 

[Kula Meenur]

i reckon "Ravenholm" but the end credits from hl1 is most fitting

 

[FishBulb]

I think 'Guard Down' is a pretty good one. The machine droning elicits this feeling of oppression in me, for some reason.

I've just noticed that iTunes thinks that most of the half-life soundtrack is the blues. :|

Yep, that'd be Half Life song 11

I've changed my mind completely this would be the perfect song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU

ha ha ****in ha

 

[LackingSaint]

'Lambda Core' I have to say. Really evokes the action and sci-fi of HL2.

 

[Hazard.Squared]

They need Megadeth to do a song like they did for Gears of War.

 

[V-Man339]

I'd have to go with either the Valve logo song or the end credits song of Half Life 2 or Half Life 1.

Lucky for your embedded YouTube links aren't working. Unlucky for you, you used an all to common extension.

 

[Ridge]

Guard Down or Last Legs...preferably Last Legs...

I found a song from a Star Fox game that sounds like a VERY good theme song for Half-Life 1.
Check it out and tell me what ya think! Just forget about Star Fox when you listen to it, or listen to it and look at a lambda photo, you'll see how well the song works with Half-Life 1.

SORRY TO RESPOND TO DIS THREAD SO LATE. I LIKE THE HALF LIFE CREDIT/ENDING SONG VERY MUCH.

SO IN MY VIEW ENDING SONG IS THE BEST. AND SO MANY OTHER GAMES (LIKE TEKKEN 5-) COPIED THE HL ENDING SONG.
