2. José González - Red Dead Redemption
Rockstar GamesOne of the most memorable moments in the game is complimented beautifully by this original composition from José González. In Rockstar's brilliant open-world western adventure, you play as an ex-outlaw called John Marston. After being told you're going to have to hunt down your friends in order to save your family's lives you step on a raft to Mexico and are greeted by this nifty little ditty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IkvAb6THQY As you cross the border this beautiful song sets the mood perfectly, providing players with a thoughtful and haunting acoustic track to soundtrack the start of their journey. The song fits the narrative and game's dark themes perfectly, and as well as being the best song on this list, 'Far Away' is arguably also the most fitting for its subject matter. A truly brilliant piece of original game music.
