I figured since the game recently got released for Nintendo Switch what better time to talk about this game and its wonderful music which by no one's surprise is by far my favorite aspect of this game. To think I almost passed the chance to play this game considering I still hold it as one of my favorite games that I have played this year.

Here is the song:  Here is the original: If you want to hear more Bioshock songs head over to my post of Music in Bioshock  where there is a couple of songs of each game related to the series.
