Different versions of "Promise"--help please.

Post by phix95 »

Apparently there are a few. The one I have on my ipod says "Promise 3rd version"...it has guitar and some kind of bell-sounding synth. Its slightly off tempo (I think on purpose). I think it's the prettiest and saddest version.
I've heard the guitar version (I assume this is the original) and the Reprise. I wanted to link to the version I have, like on youtube or something, but I can't find it anywhere online...and it got me thinking where the heck I got my version. Does anyone know what it's officially called? It seems like it was actually IN the game, playing during some scene.

Thanks

There are only two versions of Promise in the game -- the reprise (with Angela) and the ending theme, as you mentioned. What you have is likely a fan mix.

I think you might mean the song that plays roughly six minutes into this video.

Huh. "Letters." It wasn't officially released, was it?

Nope.

I was the first person to provide a version of it, too: The song is impossible to record directly from the game w/out the dialogue, so I had to assemble it by editing around James' soliloquy. I called it "Letters from Silent Heaven."

Yes that is the one! I knew it was in-game.
I think I got it off a site of collected in-game SH music (not on soundtracks)...quite a collection too. Wonder if I can find the link...
And it's called Letters?

Edit--found a site that has Promise 3rd version:
--Mod Edit-- (Link removed because the site also has a section where the official soundtracks can be downloaded which, as per this forum's rules, are not allowed).

Tho it is not the site I was thinking of.

Edit 2--they do have all the tracks...its on the "Complete Soundtrack" section.

I remember another version of Promise that I had heard a long time ago. It took me a few minutes of searching to find it again though, because Youtube user pages don't work for me. So I couldn't just get to it from the uploader's page. :?

I really like that one. Apparently, there isn't a version without the dialogue over top of it though. I would've wanted it :\...
