Portal 2 - Exile Vilify

The moment from Portal 2 where you find Rattman's den, and a radio playing the song "Exile Vilify" from The National.

I totally fell in love with this epic, sad, beautiful song, people, and I did the same as Chell in this pic: I sat there, listening to it, combined with the cavernous atmosphere of the test chamber full of flora. It just fits so well in the game's story it's awesome: I couldn't possibly pull off so many emotions in Chell's face: the fact that she never gives up, that everything turned dark and hopeless again, the beauty of music, of manmade art, and the chance of maybe, someday, finally getting off Aperture and enjoying the contact with all that beauty once again.

Thank you, Valve.

UPDATE: I changed the first part of the lyrics because those are more significative. Also I've been asked to make wallpapers of this, so here ya go. Just remember that you took them from here :D
