ICO -You Were There- is the main theme song of ICO and is track 16 in the Melody in the Mist soundtrack. It was composed for the game by Michiru Ōshima and sung by Stephen Geraghty. The song plays in the ending cutscene during the credits, and is also featured in several trailers for ICO.

Lyrics

The island bathes in the sun's bright rays.
Distant hills wear a shroud of grey.
A lonely breeze whispers in the trees.
Sole witness to history.

Fleeting memories rise,
From the shadows of my mind.
Sing "Nonomori", endless corridors...
Say "Nonomori", hopeless warriors...
You were there...
You were there...

Am I forever dreaming,
How to define the way I'm feeling.

You were there.
Countless visions they haunt me in my sleep...
You were there.
Though forgotten all promises we keep...

Slaves to our destiny.
I recall a melody.
Sing "Nonomori", seasons lit with gold...
Say "Nonomori", legends yet untold...
You were there...
You were there...

Happiness follows sorrow.
Only believing in tomorrow.

You were there.
Countless visions they haunt me in my sleep...
You were there.
Though forgotten all promises we keep...

The island bathes in the sun's bright rays.
Distant hills wear a shroud of grey.
A lonely breeze whispers in the trees.
Sole key to this mystery...

Trivia

  • Despite the lyrics being mainly in english, one word, "nonomori", is in Yorda's runic language. It translates to "thank you" and it's the same word she says after Ico falls from the moving bridge.
