The Soundtrack


From the first adventure to the last the City of Myst soundtrack has set the atmosphere. It was created when a friend of mine, Assaf Kaftory, a great appreciator of music, was instructed to fumble through his ipod and produce songs which were both rocky and with a sweeping, eerie feel to them. There's a list of the songs on the bottom as it appears on the back of the soundtrace CD. But most of all, the song that represents CoM and has ushered us every time back into the world of this languished mystic city is the Sea Song, by the Doves (which hopefully later you will be able to hear here on the website). Later we realised how appropriate the lyrics were:

The Sea Song \ The Doves
---------------------------

Drive with me
Do the things you wont believe
Drive with me
Past the city and down to sea

Crushing Dreams
Leave me be, I cannot sleep

Drown with me
Past the city, down to sea
Rush of dream
Leave in peace, let me be

oh, it's the pain
It's ingrained in me
oh, soothe my pain
It's ingrained in me

Drive with me
