This is the song “Exile Vilify” combined with rain sfx and set to a picture. The song is most famous for being in the game Portal and the girl in the picture is a character from the game. I discovered this combination from the site rain.nxe7.com and all the inspiration for the video comes from there. I find this song very relaxing especially with the rain in the background.

Thanks for watching

  1. He's just saying what brought him here, i'm sure alot of people came from different places, he's just trying to relate with them.

  2. I remember when I found the radio in portal that plays this song, i just carried it around with me throughout the entire test chamber

  3. Thank you so much for putting this on youtube! For a while I didn't even know what this song was called because I kept going to that website. This is something I put on repeat constantly. Thanks again!

  4. Man, this is great. If only there was a version with just the rain and the piano. Or maybe just without the vocals. Either or.

  5. Every now and then, when I'm really down, I think of this song and want to hear it. I don't usually remember the name, but I do a google search for "Chell in the Rain" and it always comes up. This song + the rain = comfort. Thanks for posting this!

  6. Returning after a while of not listening. Still gives me chills like the first time I listened to it.

  7. Beautiful, I'm not sure if the app is broken or not but at least it's here

  8. I haven't listened to this in over a decade; I first found it after fully binging Portal 2 overnight and calling out to work because I was so profoundly moved by the ending and this song. I haven't cried in so long, but this song really got me out of nowhere and I'm just so glad to find it again.

    Thank you. I know this upload was ages ago, but genuinely, thank you.

  9. found out about this from an app that does nothing but play this video lol

    btw i never finished playing portal cuz my pc is poopoo

  10. My dad told me that he found the website that this was from by using somthing called "stumble upon" i think.

  11. This is the best game ever for me, i remember playing on the first time on a 360 after school, just amazing and fun game, 10 of 10!

  12. This is the most beautiful mix ever. I didn't listened this in years, and today I found that the site was down t.t

  13. Thank you for this! With the original site (sadly) finally having gone down, it's a godsend to have this still.

  14. I had forgotten all about this, I haven't been on this account for over a decade. Obviously a lot has changed, I'm not a kid anymore; rapidly approaching 30. I don't know why or how I stumbled back here but listening to it again… it still brings me peace, and a melancholy now informed by the many years since. I was shocked to find comments as recent as a month or two past, and as old as 12 years, and saddened to hear the original site has finally been taken down. I would upload a newer version with higher quality, but these days it would probably be flagged and removed immediately. Maybe I'll have to replicate the original site. I've done some web development in the years since, though the same copyright issues would no doubt make themselves known. I'm rambling now, but I'm humbled and pleased to hear there are still some people taking comfort from this random upload by some kid in the early 2010s. Please be kind to each other, and find tranquility wherever you can. Both are in short supply these days. Be well.
