* ''"The fear of blood tends to create fear for the flesh"'' This cryptic statement, accompanied by an eerie mandolin and distorted guitar, kicks off the series and soon gives way to the iconic main theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEUS4uh4c4Y "Hometown"]]. A jangly, country & jazz-underscored, American gothic sound that is really evocative of how the game is Konami's nod to American horror.

*** Um, it's actually [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxrDCLrd89w 'Overdose Delusion']] that plays in the credits of that ending. "Promise" plays during the Maria ending, where [[spoiler:Mary is the final boss and James meets up with Maria at the end, who gives him Mary's letter. It ends with Maria coughing, and James says, "You should do something about that cough."]] Even though this troper believes that track may have been more fitting for the former ending.

Basically every song in the entire ''Silent Hill'' series deserve a spot on this list. Just search up "SilentHill OST" on youtube. Or you could just find some convenient playlists on "[[http://www.youtube.com/user/stripedlady stripedlady's channel]]."
