This is the end credits song from the computer game Portal. In the right context this is one of the best songs I have ever heard. The setting for the game is a research lab and you’re controlling a girl called Chell, who is a research subject. All throughout the game you hear a monolog from a computer AI called GLaDOS, and as a player you’re not quite sure if what you’re doing is working for or against the AI. There are tons of mixed messages throughout the game. And to top it all of you get no resolution what so ever at the end of the game and you get to listen to this epilogue, sung by GLaDOS. Youtube. If you’re planning on playing the game I highly recommend you play it before listening to this song since it contain spoilers. It won’t take you many hours to complete it anyways.
