'''Follow Our Brothers''' is the twelfth track (Disc 1 Track 12) included in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]'', and primarily serves as the background music for the ending cutscene of the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]] level ''[[Floodgate]]''.
'''Follow Our Brothers''' is a song included in the [[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]. It plays during the levels [[Crow's Nest (Level)|Crow's Nest]], [[Floodgate]], and [[The Storm (Level)|The Storm]]. It is also the background track for the cutscene at the end of the level Floodgate.
 
The song begins with a slow, single-note melody of strings. Higher strings then join in with a single note. The motif is then repeated with choir in the background. The song then switches to a minor key, still retaining the same, slow melody. The strings melody then fades, to be replaced by a more rapid motif. At the end, the music once again fades into the slow melody of the [[Mjolnir Mix]] from the [[Halo 2 Original Soundtrack]].
 
Note: The beginning of the song sounds very similar to [[Under Cover of Night]] from the [[Halo: Original Soundtrack|Original Halo Soundtrack]], and the song's name (and partially the entire sound of it altogether) mimic the [[Halo: Combat Evolved|Halo 1]] song, [[Brothers in Arms]].


==Overview==
It runs for 3 minutes and 25.531 seconds (3:25.531).
The piece begins with a slow, single-note melody of strings, playing a rearrangement of the synth notes from ''[[Under Cover of Night]]'' (from ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''). Higher strings then join in with a single note. The motif is then repeated with choir in the background. The music then switches to a minor key, still retaining the same slow melody. The strings softly transition into the melody of the second part of ''[[Enough Dead Heroes]]'' (from ''Halo: Original Soundtrack''), but the melody doesn't resolve, creating a sense of uncertainty. Instead, it fades, to be replaced by snare drums, transitioning into a full rearrangement of ''[[Brothers in Arms]]'': the strings melody swells into a triumphant fanfare, with strings returning for a somber and sad melody.


The track's name references the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' soundtrack ''Brothers in Arms'', and the second section of the piece is a full rearrangement of the track. The rearrangement also plays in the level ''[[The Storm]]''. It first plays in full when [[John-117]] enters the first lake bed, where a group of Marines are being attacked by a {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom}}. A lighter version (with snare drums, high strings, flute, and vocals) plays at the end of the level as John-117 and [[Thel 'Vadam]] approach the {{Pattern|Skar'wa|Mantis}}.
