'I Was Born for This' by Austin Wintory as part of the Journey OST.
I always thought it was a beautiful sounding song, but I just learned that it is sung in 5 different languages, consists entirely of famous quotes from real and mythological people, and even contains a haiku. All in 8 lines. And its all sung in just the most beautiful way...
Languages.
1.) Roman
2.) Norse
3.) Greek
4.) French
5.) Japanese
Famous sources.
1.) The Aeneid
2.) Beowulf
3.) Homer, The Illiad
4.) Joan of arc
5.) Bash+ì, Edo Period Poet
Haiku:püôpü«Tüôpéä / FíîpüÅS¦¦pü¬püùpü½ / tºïpü«püÅpéî / Along this road / Goes no one / This autumn eve.
Song translated to English:
To each his day is given
Time it is for me to go
Lost is my homecoming
I was born for this
I was born for this
Along this road/ Goes no one/ This Autumn Eve
Do not pity me
I was born for this

So I just learned that they are rereleasing Journey onto PS4.
It will likely be free for people that already own the game (not that I'd mind even paying $60 for it.)
Its old news, but new news to me.
I can't wait. Journey is and forever will be one of my favorite games of all time, because it is a timeless masterpiece. Probably my favorite really. I like Fallout NV more, but even that is a passing love compared to Journey.
To date, it is the only game(or movie, or song, or anything) that has reduced my to a sobbing mess. Other stuff has gotten a few tears out of me (the end of the The Gladiator comes to mind, and the last time you talk to Liara in Mass Effect 3) , but the end of Journey had me bawling. I just could not take the overwhelming sadness and relief and happiness all at once.
*besides stuff from when I was a little kid, I mean.
So I can't wait to experience it all over again. Actually, I can wait, and I will. It is worth the wait.

Journey is by far the best PS series to ever grace us. It is such an emotional game, with such an intense and beautiful soundtrack. If that is your favorite song, I believe and agree with you 100%.
My new favorite song is See You Again surprisingly by Wiz Khalifa. Damn song made me cry like a *****....
If you expect the worst, you'll never be disappointed.

That's amazing, I never knew that. Those sources fit the title of the game perfectly as does the sing itself. OP, I take it you're going to skip all your other songs on shuffle and listen to this until you're sick of it. Happens to me all the time.
