    Lyrics:
    I feel your breath upon my neck,
    a soft caress as cold as death.
    I didn't know you well back then,
    I blame it all on luck and vain.
    Your blood like wine, I wanted in,
    oh darling, get me drunk and make me feel!
    It's not my fault,
    I'm not to blame,
    These ain't my sins,
    I broke my chains!
    There's more to do
    and I still want to live.
    I feel your breath, upon my neck,
    a soft caress, as cold as death.
    I feel your heart-beat in my soul,
    our futures bound, our bodies know.
    Your blood like wine, I wanted in.
    Oh darling get me drunk, Invite me in!
    It's not my fault,
    I'm not to blame,
    These ain't my sins,
    I broke my chains!
    There's more to do
    if I can only live.
    I can't go yet,
    Don't let me die!
    I'll never stop,
    Until I'm done!
    But just tonight
    maybe I'll rest in peace.
    I feel your breath upon my neck,
    a soft caress as cold as death.
    I hear your heart-beat in my soul,
    our endings bound, our bodies know.
    I can't go yet!
    Don't let me die!
    I want to live!
    My only one!
    There's more to do, if we can only live.
    The clock won't stop and this is what we get...

    When this started playing in camp before reaching Wyrm's crossing I had to stop everything I was doing. The fact that we constantly hear the instrumental version of this song in the background when at camp and that at this very moment, when the city could be seen in the distance, the version with lyrics started playing made it incredibly magical.
    I went towards the ledge and enjoyed the view until the song ended. I swear this was one of the most organic legendary scenes I have ever seen in all of my life, the music captured the moment so well.

      I love ME3, KoTOR, and other incredible TTRPG's, Fallout 1-4 are a hoot and a half in their own ways. But I seriously think BG3 has become my favorite game of all time now and I'm still VERY attached to my childhood game of KoTOR and Mass Effect.
      I thought it'd be vaporware, I bought EA the moment they announced an actual release date as I despise EA content. Everything anything Larian does in the future I will gladly buy EA the moment it hits the market if 1/3 of the games end up never being made I do not care, worth it.

      BG3 is the game of the decade. Many triple-AAA studios hate BG3 because it showed everyone that a small, passionate development team can take on billion-dollar giants like EA and Sony.
      For anyone who loves BG3 and is looking for something new (old) to play, I recommend "Divinity Original Sin 2". It is also from Larian and is the spiritual predecessor of BG3.

      ​@@Kanikanihia "It also bothers me how people keep calling him just gay, when he’s pan and I feel that’s quite important for him as well."
      I disagree. There is nothing in Astarion’s past or his behaviour that demonstrates that he have a interest for women.
      Even if I understand the approach that all the romances of the game are pan, I find that it goes a little against the depth of the characters. They are all hollow, bland about who their partner are. However, I do not think it is a defect. There will always people for and people against.
      But for Astarion, we are not going to lie, he is clearly gay coded. I am not referring to his behavior but these relationships with NPCs.
      Astarion twice mentions old relationships that are both men; Sebastian and the "darling boy" who he let run away. He shows a clear disgust for Araj Oblodra; who is a woman.
      For me, this whole scene with Araj is a metaphor with an Astarion who can be forced to give himself for someone who does not attract him, the blood/taste did not catch him at all.
      There is also a scene where Astarion responds with saracasm that he is "a princess married to a tarrasque named Jonathan". All these little details make sense. That’s why people say Astarion is gay.
      Let’s say all of this it's a coincidence, then why in the teasers of the game we see Astarion with a male dwarf as partner while all the other companions (Gale, Wyll, Karlach, Halsin and Shadowheart) are showing with an opposite sex partner?
      So Astarion is canonically pan, but he clearly has a preference for men.

    I love how this song has ticking clocks inside it, it's as if you're hearing the countdown the different characters have. because in a way, they're all on time limits. as well as the tadpole, Karlach has her engine, Gale the orb, Shadowheart is trying to get to her destination as soon as she can, Astarion's days outrunning Cazador are very much numbered, Lae'zel is trying to get home before she transforms, and Wyll is trying to get out of his pact before it inevitably kills him. there's other limits they have but I don't want to spoil too much lol, and even Halsin and Minthara have themes of time being uncertain.
    everyone thinks of Astarion with this song but it also works very well for Durge, which considering they were originally the only protagonist and Tav was added later, makes me wonder if this is supposed to be a POV of the Durge and their lover

    I just wanted to say that as someone who has struggled with depression for most of their adult life, this song feels so especially powerful and so succinctly puts into words emotions I have felt so often, turning to casual hookups just to try and feel something. Even just the title of the song really hits hard. The fact that a song for a video game can resonate with my own personal emotions is so surprising and I just wanted to thank you for composing and recording it.

      As a sex worker, yes, casual hookups are fun and a temporary relief, but deeper relationships are so much more. Please keep chasing what makes you whole and reaching out.
      Astarion's storyline made me re-consider for a bit how my own sexual encounters have made me numb to the importance of sex in a relationship, but in the end, I'm not a 239 year old elven vampire spawn.

    Playing this song on repeat...so beautiful and now nostalgic as well. As far as I remember this song is about the players character no? I know you can apply it to many characters (from what I saw people are mainly saying it's about Astarion), but everytime I hear it, I remember my character and I try to imagine what a person like that might be feeling when they are alone in their tent at night, thinking about all that's happened and all that is still going to happen. A person that's gone through all these hardships, obsticales, met friends and lovers on the way, helped people, experienced joy, sadness, anger, excitement and love, what are they thinking?
    Even if they are a part of me projected onto a videogame character, I still see them as a separate entity, a dear friend whom I escorted on this journey.

I've played as a Paladin during the demo, and now feel more excited than ever now that I have gained so much more experience and understanding of the mechanics, skills, spells and features of the game.
