"Path of Borealis" is a remix of "Triage at Dawn" made by DJ Dain, named "That Long Train Ride," with the song title being apparently based on a note featured in a map of an early Half-Life 2 journey found in Raising the Bar. One day, a gamer nicknamed "Black Mantis" presented it on the Half-Life 2 Beta-oriented Father Grigori Forums.

June 28, 2021: I, the uploader, am not DJ Dain, the author of this remix. It took me far too long to edit the mistakes in the video title (Half-Life 2 Beta, I kept the Path of Borealis name) and description, for which I apologize. I added the paragraph above a few years after uploading this video from some Wiki. I don't remember if it was Combine OverWiki or Half-Life Wikia. There is an article about the song here: combineoverwiki.net/wiki/That_Long_Train_Ride.

"There has been a considerable amount of confusion throughout the fan community regarding the origins of the track, many initially arguing that it was part of the early versions of Half-Life 2. Its name was also unclear, thought at times to be titled "Path of/to (the) Borealis." In 2007, a Half-Life 2 leak files pack which included That Long Train Ride and other non-Half-Life-related songs, was released, which led to speculation within the community that these tracks were made by Valve. In 2010, a user on the Facepunch forums admitted that he was responsible for this misleading soundtrack compilation." ― Combine OverWiki

I'm so glad I was the lucky first one to upload this fantastic song I copied from the newly released Obsidian Conflict mod for Half-Life 2, after which I never played it again (sorry). I apologize for giving the video the incorrect, albeit catchy, name "Path of Borealis." I apologize if I caused any harm to this song's composer or the community. Both the original and this remix are legendary among us Half-Life fans. I'm happy to have been a small part of it.

    The comment section is more depressing than the song itself.
  • @Dfacrows
    Today (07/30/23) Valve officially released this song on Spotify. I don't know how to feel about it

    My best friend was always waited for Half Life 3... he always talks about Half Life 1 and 2... he loved this game so freaking much but he passed away in 2019 by an accident... this music reminds me how much joy he had in Half Life, so I also start playing this game for the memories I had with him, even Half Life Alyx. R.I.P Matin Mohammadi... One like = One vote to Half Life 3

    I've always loved this version of Triage at Dawn, especially when I was younger. Now that I'm 41 years old it puts so much nostalgia in my soul that hurts.
  • @falloutgamer347

    My dad was a super big fan of Half-Life. He waited his whole life for a new installment in the franchise. Died in 2015. Hope he was able to watch me play it. So amazing...
