Perspective

 

Bad Here Day is the second track in Halo Wars: Original Soundtrack.

Overview

The track opens with a piano and synth notes in a serene melody, accompanied with twinkling effects. Vocals join in as the main melody, which is echoed by synth notes. The melody is taken over by strings in a repeat of the melody before ending with synth notes.

The soundtrack's bonus DVD includes an alternate version, titled Bad Here Day (Shield Interior Intro), featuring heavy percussive beats and a more upbeat melody.

Appearances

Bad Here Day plays randomly as a backing track during gameplay on any campaign or Skirmish level in Halo Wars based on Harvest or the interior of the Etran Harborage:

Campaign
Skirmish

The alternate version only plays in the beginning of the levels that place in the interior of Etran Harborage.

Production notes

The name Bad Here Day is a play on the common phrase "Bad Hair Day".
