Even if you don't appreciate the genre or style, you have to admit that a lot of effort was put into this song! Thank you for watching. With your support, we'll be able to get more Dark Soulsongs in future. Who knows which genre will be next! I'm going to try choose a song that suits the atmosphere of Dark Souls more, next time.
Thanks for checking the description to see if there was anything interesting here. You're awesome. You're slightly better than the other people who watched this video, although they're pretty cool as well. Let me know what you thought of the video - I've been working on it for so long that it's kind of hard to judge whether it's good anymore. I appreciate all your feedback, as usual. :)
Huge thanks to Tanooki Suit for producing the song and allowing me to make a great video for it.

Wow, y'all still listening to this song? Feels like I wrote it a lifetime ago. Glad you all still enjoy it
- Aleks from Tanuki (formerly tanooki suit)
Timeless masterpiece man!
Im still here man
Always!
Timeless masterpiece.
This song rocks, thank you for writing it!
I'm here. 8 years later. After traveling several cursed lands to only arrive in another. I am here to remember my roots
Elden ring is out but I doubt there will be a song about it as good as this
@@therubberduck6178 its only been a few months. Someday perhaps...
I feel this comment in so many different ways
Yes
“You have a heart of gold. Don't let them take it from you.”
Featuring Ravelord Neato, Lautrec the EmBASSed, and Solaire, Warrior of Spotlight.
Heheheh I'm so clever. Like someone I know. @VaatiVidya
Scrub Seeker™ Nah, I'm good. :)
Very good
PC Port wow I just realized that
Obviously GIANT DAD should be on the bass, because he has the BASS CANNON.
Just wanted to drop in and thank you all (Vaati, Veselekov, and fans) for your continued support and kind words. I can't believe it's been 5 years since this dropped. Nearly 3 million views? That is fucking crazy. Even if I've decided to step away from writing music about video games, I am forever grateful to the Souls community. The band is almost entirely self-sustaining thanks to you all, and it wouldn't have been possible without you. - Aleks, Tanuki
7 years now!
and still amazing!!!
It’s 2021 and I’m still listening to this song
this is awesome thank you
This song is on repeat all the time ^^
It's never too late to give Tanooki Suit some more love! This video will always be one of my favourites.
And that song will remain my favorite Soulsong...
VaatiVidya I love this song, it's freaking amazing! Video is also fit very well! :3
VaatiVidya lol vaati, just got here from the prepare to cry after seeing it in my recommended and thinking "i'll watch this again" lo and behold you must have thought the same thing an hour ago :P
This is legit my favorite song what so fucking ever I love this shit way more than any other song this song gets me so pumped up
VaatiVidya still rockin' this song in 2015! i can't thank you enough for getting this collaboration together.
"A radiant sun, forged by the feeble hands of a child not fit for his throne"
That line is so well written and I look forward to it each replay.
3 years later and I agree 100 %
I think the singer made that well written line, sound like shit
Mr_Girr I know right? I love that line
Casper The Cool Cat nigga what? English isn’t that hard come on
Literally the best line in the entire song
"If only I could be so grossly incandescent" makes me cry every time
:(
It's a combination of the line and also seeing Solaire being summoned for the Gwyn fight
its been 6 years now... and still, everytime i hear this song i get
goosebumps and tears in my eyes. i dont know why this is happening but i guess its because it reminds me of my first playthrough, the hours i spend on this game, researching the internet for storylines, watching endless videos and because dark souls is one of the best games ever created. it fills me with joy and memories. this song is a masterpiece and is, and
ever will be, one of a kind. thank u tanookisuit for making this
beautiful song. and thank you vaati for sharing it!
That's pretty fucking cringe bro
Same bud, same.
@The Laynz the only thing that made me feel like that was hearing gwyns theme at the end of ds3 the first time. But I love this game and it gives me something to do while I wait
Oh jeez, me too buddy, me too
all of the love
Great work :)
Holy crap, if MoS says its good, than its gonna be good.
Good golly gosh; it's a miracle....of sound. Gav, have you heard vaati's new dark soulsong colab thing, the end?
HOLY FRICKIN' SHIET!!!!!!!!! Dude... I love you.......
I think I may have had a fan-gasm-heart attack..
Welp. My two. Favorite. Dark Souls. Singers.
ORGASM ACTIVATE!!!!!!
PRAISE!!!...THE ****ING!!! ....SUN!!!
Fuck... still makes me tear up a year later... Dark Souls is the best gaming experience I've had in my 27 years on this earth.
dark souls 3 will be the end of our journey and many other players.
+kiurem neitor Nah, mate. Dark Souls 3 isn't the end of Dark Souls. FromSoft said so.
SilverSoldier90 another, dark souls 4 confirmed?
+kiurem neitor Miyazaki Senpai won't be helping... He's the new president after Souls 3 :(
He earns it though, he will be missed ;-;7
Rage Angel I remember your profile picture from a nightcore song
9 years later and I still know every word by heart. God damn love this song 🎵
If only Solaire had followed his singing carrier instead of trying to find his own Sun...
did you ever complete the storyline?
MultiStryx
Do you always take jokes seriously ? :U
Chips Light
i just wanted to help you, maybe if you'd know you would be more happy
MultiStryx
I know you can save Solaire, otherwise I would've sold my copy of Dark Souls years ago.
Chips Light praise the sun!
500, 000 views! Woooo! Go give Tanooki Suit some love

Congrats guys! Here's to 2mil!!!
Best song evar 11/10 got me to the soul series and I am praising the sun since first time listening.
1 fuckin milion views! Such a great song :D
1.- Yes the lyrics are just an explanation to the main lore of DS 1
2.- No, i dont care about the first point
3.- Yes the song is amazing
4.- It fills me with FEELS, and after so much time thats hard to achieve so...
5.- Personally this song is better than "Hollow" (Hollow isnt bad tho).
6.- Praise the sun.
7.- I like to play this song while fighting Gwyn, it makes me imagine Oscar watching me from the entrance as a ghost, being proud of what i achieved.
EDIT:
8.- 1:50 this line is the one that hits me the more... Gwyndolin always hurts me.
Praise the sun
Amazing trap ahead, there for, praise the sun!
+MacalTHB mimic chest ahead
BricklordLP
HAHAHAHAHA
"Amazing trap ahead. however, totally worth it
The Age of Fire has long since passed
The Age of Dark is inevitable
And yet we struggle on, and humanity survives. A shell of its former self, an effigy of the Golden Age, but it yet survives.
Isnt Age of deep sea just dream of Aldrich ?
the age of dark might be inevitable, but it only takes one to link the fire
Almost a million views! That's insane. Thank you all for supporting this so much, and remember to go and give Tanooki Suit some love.
VAATI! YO HOPE YOU GET A MILLION VIEWS MAN! YOU DESERVE IT!
Anymore, Tanooki Suit songs in mind for your channel to showcase?
I'll never stop playing this!!! True essence of Dark Souls in this song! SMOOCHES Vaati SMOOOCHES Tanooki Suit!!!!
Gotta love a band that made a song for a game, Known or otherwise. Thanks for this showcase of an awesome MV.
25k left, this song is too good not to show all my friends
I can totally imagine the crowd at one of their shows praising the sun during the chant at the end. That thought just gives me goosebumps, in a good way.
how has it nearly been seven years since this came out? Time really does fly by huh. It doesn't feel like that long ago that I was a little kid playing dark souls for the first time and for the first time being so incredibly proud of something that I've done. God this always makes me so emotional.
I can't believe this is 6 years old. God damn i can't believe how old this masterpiece of a song (and game) is
Goosebumps everytime.
Esta cancion utilizala para tus parodias de out y lou amigo:)
A statement couldn’t be more true.
If their was ever a dark soul anime this would be the theme song
James Gillam oh i can picture that
James Gillam it has to be done 90s style or none at all.
+TheYondaime008 nu ufotable
+John Hunt madhouse ftw
Nu
Almost ten years and this still bops
after hearing the new soul song i had to come back to the best and hear it again. still gives me chills these years later.
Been struggling with Gwyn for an entire day.
Frustration building, pressure rising.
Mutes in-game music and plays this instead.
Fueled by hype-ass music.
Finally beats the lord of cinder.
Relief ensues.
Goddamn, what a way to end NG+7
And it's all thanks to this song, backed by half-decent timing, trembling hands, coffee and a comfy office chair.
Praise it.
+Cass Griffon lol my hands were sweating so badly with that fight my hands were almost slipping off the controller every time i parried his attacks xD
+finnthehu mertons ahahhahaha i can imagine that
+Cass Griffon how come everyone has so much trouble with gwyn? he's supposed to be farily easy since he is so drained and hollowed lore wise xD 3 parry's no problem on my first try
Shadey Mcbones While you're not entirely wrong, Gwyn is most likely not supposed to be easy, but rather EASIER than what his true potential is.
Think about it, considering the challenge he can be as a mindless, hollow shadow of his former self, I think it is somewhat safe to assume that he would be a nearly impossible foe if we'd met him at a much earlier time.
Cass Griffon thats for certain xd would have been cool if they implemented the invader boss feature in gwynn in some way. but instead of invading a players world with your own character like in demon souls, you control gwyn
So what's going on with this new commenting system? Can you only reply to people who have linked their account with G+?
Yup, it's all forms of terrible :/
I guess so which is really weird. Why does youtube keep changing all these things about itself in really weird ways?
Asiroth Nyoki it is weird. hell, i dunno how you can even see what people are replying to without going onto a new tab or searching through the damn comments! (i cant see a 'show comment' thing) seriously, what was wrong with the old system? it was pretty good in comparison!
You can't reply to old comments before the new system so any comments from now and on can be reply and rated all old are locked, unrateable and unreplyable
But then they couldn't force us to use G+ and try flash #s in facebooks face D:
I always come back here from time to time, the nostalgia..
Still do
8 years later, still my favorite soulsong, and one of my favorite songs in general.
i downloaded the lordvessel
Now i can warp through bonfires
You are fucking epic
Lol
Wow... this was just awesome. The great amount of lore in the lyrics, those hilarious animated characters (I really loved Nito's Gravelord Guitar!) and the passion you all put into it, in your own way, was incredible.
It's creative, fan-based content like this that really inspire me; I'm feeling more and more inclined to perhaps start some Souls' videos for myself, perhaps Dark Souls 2 being an excellent opportunity to do that. I'm not looking to get even a fraction of your subscriber base, or even to get lots of views etc, I just want to help contribute to this awesome community in my own way; whether it's through some corny "Let's Play" vids or through explaining my own theories on the Lore in the universe; I admittedly spend most of my time theorizing on Dark Souls' lore :P
Thank you Vaati for being so appreciative to not just the extremely talented fans of Dark Souls, like Tanooki Suit here, but also the grassroots fans too. This kind of cooperation and harmony in the Souls' community is really what makes it such a pleasure of being part of. Keep going Vaati, your huge subscriber count is there for a reason. :)
"Ravelord Nito"
2019? The torch has been passed onto Sekiro, though it'll never be what the rest of the Dark Souls series has be, and never give us that same spark, and sense of wonder, and pride, it's keeping the series alive, and the momentum going.
Dark Souls, Sekiro and Bloodborne prove that FromSoft does their best work when they're making up new universes. DS2 and DS3 were okay, but something keeps pulling me back to the OG DS1.
@@silverblade357 DS3 is great what are you on about?
@@LambSKUM DS2 and DS3 are pretty great, but neither pull me back months later or into my next playthrough like the original games.
@@silverblade357 Look forward to Elden Ring then, the rumors say its coming in January
This song still kicks so much ass 6 years after it's release. Still love this song and all the videos you make Vaati, continue to rock on and I hope you have a great day.
DARK SOULS 3 ANNOUNCED
BortzProductions You mean Bloodborne?
REKT XD
Red Hall No, I mean Dark Souls 3.
Red Hall E3 U FUKIGN CASUL
Junn Kopf GET REKT SCRUB
A random metalhead and gamer which couldn't think of a good name and he kept on typing stuff into it WHAT RINGS YOU GOT, BITCH!?
Those lyrics were extremely straightforward considering how convoluted the story itself was.
Well you can hardly fit every single piece of lore in the entire game into one song, this song covers the main points while still sounding like a song
Yeah, the unstated part of my comment was how similar the lyrics are to other songs of the same genre. If you didn't know Dark Souls lore, the lyrics would seem very abstract and maybe metaphorical, but in this case, nope, that's pretty much exactly what happened (speculatively). Definitely not trying to dig at them at all.
Billy Nitro though still being about dark souls i feel it for me can still be metaphorical and mean more to me.
Billy Nitro The story is still pretty sad for me lol. Japanese love their tragic genres.
Who's here after Elden Ring ?
This game song me the determination to beat Dark Souls.
And by now, it became my favorite game of all time. Never has any game change my attitude towards life as much as Dark Souls. It was not a game to me. It was an experience.
Whatever you do in life, don't lose your purpose. The undead's body might not be able to die, but the mind still can. That's how hollows are born.
bruh great comment like really good
There's something truly magical about this community. Call me crazy, call me naive. But I feel like a very select breed of people are drawn to the Souls series. Almost every person I ask about this series has either no idea what it is or they DO know what it is and can't stand it. When Dark Souls launched in my state there were 3 people there.... And even those 3 people didn't seem nearly as "into it" as I was. I was beyond disappointed. I have high hopes for Dark Souls 2 since the growth of this franchise has amounted to something impressive over the past 2 years. But I think this song is nothing short of brilliant. It really cups a hold of your enthusiasm for this game and creates a sensation that not everyone is going to feel and I'm proud of that. These games are scary and that's the ultimate truth. It takes the will of a knight and the heart of an adventurer to stand up to this series, arms in hand. Well I appreciate this series with all of my heart and soul. When Dark Souls 2 arrives I'll be ready to tread the unknown once again with my sword gripped tight shield held high. Remember this: Whatever awaits in this series, new or old, you will always have an amazing community to turn to. Never forget that.
I bought it at a friend's recommendation a few months after it was released. Sure I started off dying every 5 minutes but there was something about it that made not give up, no matter how great my frustrations grew, or how angry I was getting both at the PvE and the invaders who in my eyes back then were gods of the game. Watching someone pick apart a group of 3 people, whether with lightning weapons early on or simply excellent battle tactics and parry skills was my motivation to get better at the game. I'm certainly no Eliiti or Peeve, but I'm happy that I can use my current favourite build and hold my own in about 3/4 of my matches.
The online community seems so helpful. Any time I turn to forums for an idea or a strategy or a weapon tutorial, there is never a negative attitude towards anything. And there's always new content being put up online of this game. It's truly a unique experience playing this game, which still retains a massive community over 2 years since its release.
I bought it because I felt it was a gamer's challenge and I wanted to beat it. But then I just got drawn into it and now I love it. I'm helping people out all the time and they are always so thankful. Oddly enough a lot people who play this game play lost planet 2 :l Praise the Sun!!
Its really amazing how much people enjoy Dark Souls, they just don't know about it yet. In the past couple months, I've gotten at least three of my friend really into the game only a couple weeks after getting it myself.
The community only grows.
Same here,but 73 people were there...>> i still play dark souls lol even when i beat it so many times..it never gets easy
***** same for me i had no idea what dks was until my friends told me what it was and i was like that sounds badass as a motherfluffa
OMG WORDS CANT EXPLAIN THE AWESOMENESS OF THIS MUSIC
holy crap +VaatiVidya i come back after a while and it gone from 100 veiws to over 2 million :o
+torp101 yyup. Pretty insane. Thanks for being one of the early ones :D
+VaatiVidya bro you're literally like the best UA-camr in the souls community
To be honest, this song should have more than those stupid generic pop songs that sing about money and bitches repeating the same word as their entire lyrics. But Alas, not everyone is meant to be a Chosen Undead.
yep not everyone can be the chosen under or bearer of the curse
marckies griffin Actually all of the Undead are branded with the Curse. It's just that the Chosen Undead is a single one above the rest
I will never get tired of this song. I remember when I first started playing Dark Souls and just fell in love with the world and wanted to learn more and more about it. Finding your channel and indulging in your Souls content as well as others, has been a treat.
I listen to this song atleast once every other day
For a brother is in need to find....
It almost seems like Dark Souls is about companionship, simply because of how valuable the aid of a stranger is in this game.
Think about it: you gladly take up Solaire's offers to help you, and can summon a multitude of companions at times to assist you, and most of the time you end up needing their help to get through the game's bosses in one piece.
And you are rewarded for your assistance, as well. Solaire gives you sun Amulets, Siegmeyer distracts the enemy so you can escape, and you receive humanity if you can save another soul when you are summoned.
And even if you aren't directly assisting the others around you, people are able to see your actions all around them. Touch a bloodstain and learn of a brother's unfortunate demise, watch a ghostly figure roll through a hallway to avoid a bolder that you weren't aware of until then. You can even see the words of the damned who came before you, who do their best to assist you in whatever way they can.
But at the same time, Dark Souls is also about Treachery, because the player is not required to assist his Brethren. He may deceive, confuse and even murder other players in order to better himself, and even then that player may be murdered as punishment for his crimes. And when the Cleric murders his party and abandons them, he too can be punished for his treachery.
All in all, Dark Souls is a game that shows that Companionship is an invaluable tool, and that treachery is condemnable in the Land of Ancient Lords.
Truer words about the player nature in D-Souls were never spoken.
That's it brother, Dark Souls is about the nature of man.
Great thinking, let me summon a random stranger into my game (5 hours later) finally, someone gets in (*game crash)
Mr95noodles Yeah. I know the feeling. I hope it is much improved in Dark Souls 2.
TrueHolyRune Trust me, it is. MUCH easier. The signs only appear if it's a definite summon, and they are actually pretty common.
The great thing about this song is that even if you don't play dark souls you can still interpret it as many metaphors describing life and the struggle between good and evil, heaven and hell, and god and satan trying to draw you toward their ways. For instance, "a pilgrim from the asylum" could be any person on there adventure through the insanity that is life. "The parish above"=heaven, "blightbog down below"=hell, and "there guardians still thirst for your cursed blood"=God and satan want your soul. "I will walk through the fog..i will feed to the fire these shards of a soul"=the fog is our blind journey through life and shards of a soul are giving evil or good the fragments of yourself that still exist after the long, difficult journey. Pretty cool if you think about it.
And to those people We'll say: Welcome to Dark Souls mate :')
That's actually a really interesting way to interpret this song. Thanks for the food for thought :)
I really wanted to like your comment but sir, you have 69 thumbs up already. I shall not spoil your achievement
2:49 That's all Soul of Cinders forms, except the spear. Coincidence?
It's cause Soul of Cinder is the Dark Souls 1 character reincarnated
MrSamulai The Soul of Cinder is the amalgamation of anyone and everyone who linked the first flame, sacrificing themselves to protect and keep the flame alight. That's why when the SoC goes into his second phase, he returns to the original the strongest Soul that the fire absorbed, Lord Gwyn.
Still listening in 2016. This is such epic work!
+Amaterasu Gaming You are not alone :D
Ravelord Nito, the first to the party!
feat. DJ Solaire.
You mean gravelord -_-
UhhEnvyous No, I most definitely mean Ravelord
I hope you're joking
Unless I would recommend you consider context
PRAISE THE SUN!!
Rightly so!
Man, I suddenly remembered this song after so, so many years... funnily enough, while I was playing Elden Ring did it come to mind once again. I still remember the day a coworker recommended I check it out while at work like, eight years ago, and I ended up listening to it on repeat for days on end. Love this game and this series so much, and I'm so happy I've been able to witness the evolution of From Softwares games over the many, many years. Love you too, VaatiVidya. All your content has always been a joy to watch/listen to ♥
9 years, it has been a long journey. I will listen to this song till the day I die.
THIS. This is just...oh my god. It's SO PERFECT. I can't even....explain my feels of hype towards this. Holy shit. It's fuckin rad.
I cant stop listening to it it's just so good
I work at a game store and while I was calling people to let them know about the midnight release for dark souls 2 I had this playing in the background
Legend has it, that fan made souls songs are actually Gwyns miracles.
turn on computer > open this video > open up dark souls 3 to play ashes of ariandel > get the chills > get f*ckin hyped
I want the dlc but I'm saving up for the Nintendo switch. Have fun in ariandel.
Ravelord Nito, Lautrec of Drumin and Solaire of Vocala.
The Ravelord's Dance is just dropping acid then wiggling your hands and staring at them.
You mean Grave lord ... Unless .. he .. Raves .. :O Woah
In case anyone's curious, "Vereor Nox" means "I fear the night."
Or, I suppose if we're being in context, "I fear the Dark."
Just to be a grammar nazi, it would be "Vereor noctem" if it was "I fear the night", actually is "The night fears"
Monsterslayer Emil Thanks for that :)
I wonder if it was an intentional translation or if they got it off a web-based translator. If it was, I wonder how it fits into the context of the rest of the lyrics.
Farscryer0 Vereor Nox sounds better than Vereor Noctem, personally I think that From decided to ignore the grammar just for the sake of how it sounds
Monsterslayer Emil Makes sense.
I can remember it all again with this song. The first time, I was a kid then.
hard to believe this songs 10 years old now still love it!
I always get chills during that second verse, this shit is seriously incredible.
This is legitimately good. It's extremely rare to see a good song made by fans.
Who else thinks Tanooki Suit should do another one?
id like that, but they say theyre done and would like to do new things. theyre most recent album is fantastic, check it out.
They did one for demons soul as well as some for things like evangelion and berserk. honestly you should check out their other stuff. I love every song on their newest album
This is what the good old days sound like...
The song with the in game clips gave me goosebumps. Amazing job putting this together.
Your contribution to the DS community does not go unnoticed. The effort you put into what you do is apparent, and I want to personally thank you on behalf of the community, because I'm confident I have the right to do so. Anyone who doesn't appreciate this simply does not belong here. Keep up the good work.
I don’t know why, but I’m crying my eyes out listening this song after not hearing it exactly eight years later.
Its so fucking beautiful
I still listen to this now and again and still play the original DS game because of this song.
Got a feeling of nostalgia when I watched this again... Good memories of playing this game.
Zion exactly
+Aimzy CS GO play it again :) i am already ng+12 and i have fun :D its never get lame... to many thinks to do... like kill artorias, or make new charakter and gank new players with the words "welcome to darksouls *whisper whisper
+MrRaven BcB The highest is Ng+7 after that it doesnt get harder
I got goosebumps from watching this.... although it may have just been my fan blowing on my neck...
I first heard this while driving (i use youtube) and it clicked at "two bells" I actually teared up.
I still come back to this amazing song every year
a tear fell here :')
Kirito in your avatar
yeah xD
You defeat the Four Kings of New Londo, corrupted by their temptations into monsters.
You slay the traitor Seathe, who lost his sanity to the Crystals.
You destroy the Bed of Chaos, formed of the good intentions of the Witch of Izalith.
You put to rest the fading Lord of Sunlight- Gwyn, Lord of Cinders.
And you bring death to the unchanging, unending king of Death himself, Nito.
Not in that order, mind you, but it says something. One of the themes of this game, in however much of a limited quantity it is shown, is that death is unchanging. Every other Lord Soul and Lord Soul Shard is a faded, corrupted version of what it used to be... except for Gravelord Nito.
Nito does change, however.
Death no longer came to humanity; each person the darksign spread to (sooner or later, everyone) lessened the power of Death until Nito was a ragged, tortured shell with an unfed soul. He strove, then, to spread as much death as he could to all the undead (the gravelords)- but that was it. They were undead. He could no more kill them than he could become something else.
Nito perished at the Chosen Undead's hand, and the last true death he could grant was his own.
Kami Maia While that is deep and all, he did still bring death- Undead can die, they are just reborn to die anew.
The whole nature of undeath is being unable to die according to the beliefs of Lordran and Drangleic and what their arcane sciences tell them. What we believe to be the nuances of their undeath is meaningless, as it is the beliefs of the people in the Dark Souls universe that matter in this instance.
I'll add into this conversation as well that even disregarding the Undead, Nito's Lord Soul may have been the soul of Death; but he didn't draw power from death. His soul was still linked to the First Flame like the other 2 Lord Souls were. So he's just as decayed as the other Lords are. Probably even more actually since a not minuscule amount of his remaining power was taken from him by Pinwheel. Its probably why he can't go gravelording himself and needs to rely on his proxies to do most of his work for him.
ScarletSoul
"Not miniscule"
Pinwheel, easiest boss in game.
Seriously, though, you do have a point. One way or another, Nito was diminished to the point where he was *obviously* not of the same strength he was when displayed during the opening cinematics- the chosen undead would crumble just because Nito willed it, otherwise, the moment they locked eyes and eyesockets. He would never have had to use his blade, or call summons (raise skellies) at all- the Chosen would land, get rekt, and that would be it each time he or she tried.
Looking at it with the additional viewpoint that Pinwheel was involved in Nito's ruin, makes it seem like Death, above all the other shards of the First Flame, got hit the hardest- which makes sense, considering the very thing that makes the Chosen so hard to put down for good.
This song is still a banger even after all these years and all these games
Song has been in my top 5 on spotify since 2016
Coming back to this, it is probably THE BEST sendoff to Dark Souls the community has ever put together. The story told through the lyrics, the powerful christian rock style, and the sublime video editing with Veselekov's animations. It's all so great, and truly encompasses what Dark Souls meant to the people who love it so much.
Congrats to everyone who put this together. You're truly the greatest of the Souls community.
By far the best of the three soulsongs. This one perosnifies the game in a way the other two don't. This song invokes memories of my first, second, and every play through of my Dark Souls career. the emotions portrayed in the song are genuine and honest to the themes of the game. 10/10 Please let us see a Soulsong like this for something within the Scholar of First Sin, Vaati!
three years since the release of this video and it's still the best!
try "we are the souls" by The Pruld
Tommaso Materassi seen it, LordVessel is still better
Tommaso Materassi "We are the souls" is a great video, but its not Pruld's song. The song itself is 'I believe' by Christina Perrie.
Nah man fading light is god tier compared to this
This song has been stuck in my head for a week and a half now. And I love it.
Why isn't this an official commercial for the game!?!? From Software, do you not know of this?
V, your style and presentation is far beyond any content outside of actual games on all media outlets. My son ( just turned 9 last night) loves this song so much, he sings it while he plays and watches your lore videos before bed.
The work you (& the others involved) put into this is truly grossly incandescent.
your 9yr old son plays dark souls!? crap he is going to become the one master of videogames if so!
I completely understand the bands composition. Ravelord Nito on the Gravelord Guitar, Lautrec Dualwielding Drumsticks, and Solaire singing because he is the sun, and the sun is the star. ;)
This song comes up on my Spotify playlist all the time, I have loved it and known every lyric for over 9 years, but I've got to come back to this video every once and a while for the amazing visuals to accompany the amazing audio. Even after DKs2 and 3, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and now ER, this game will forever hold a place high on my list of favorite things ever. This song harkens back to so many memories and I wanted to take a minute to say thank you for putting this all together and to everyone who had any part in its creation (Just a few years late I know, I'm sorry).
still an awesome song years later.
I have discovered a new drug, it is highly addictive, it is known as "Lordvessel".
Symptons of the Lordvessel including listening, humming and singing to awesome songs about extremely difficult video games.
***** Yes, yes it does.
I don't know why, but always when it switching from shiny to dark Anor Londo i cry, EVERY FUCKING TIMES
Because it shows that someone just destroyed an amazing chest...
***** Such an army of pervert has played dark souls... can't see a topic without seeing "chest" linked to "Gwynevere", stop it guys it's awful (ohh I love it don't misunderstand) but it ruins the solemnity of the lore
P1r0m4n14c0 Dark Souls lore is too solid for ruining that easily :)
***** Mhh I hope man xD
This song is still the Lord of Cinder among soulsongs.
5 years later, Lordvessel still touches the hearts of many. Mine included. We still feed our souls to this fire, and we're still praising the sun.
I'm crying
You sir, deserve a like! You deserve many, many fucking likes! Superb work. Not just awesome music, but also a nice insight into the complex and difficult story of the game.
Ah man, I love seeing fans make such awesome tributes to their favourite games. Songs, fanarts, fangames, lore analysis...
I don't know, it's just so great.
Just wanted to say Thankyou. It popped up in my playlist and I forgot how often I would listen to this song! Knew every word and it’s been YEARS
dark souls story the way I see it: you go on this long and hard journey to replace gwyn and continue the age of fire or usher in an age of dark... Dark souls 2 story: you are playing this game without really knowing why... anybody agree?
...without really knowing why and you dont care*
Isn't that the point tho? You're trying to find destiny in this cruel world, you seek answers. As the firekeeper said herself, you will stand before the doors of the castle without really knowing why.
Cole B Technically, you are told that you can choose to link the bonfire or leave it, but it doesn't matter what you choose, because if you link the bonfire, it will burn away sooner or later. If you don't, the dark will consume everything, but a new fire will begin and the story will repeat again. Whatever is your choice, the outcome will be the same.Sorry if I wrote something wrong, English isn't my first language.

Its been universally recognised as "Thats the point"
You are forgetting why you are at drangleic and you continue onwards to fight your forgetfulness. That's why you travel long distances in a single elevator because that's all you remember.
The Iron keep is the best moment of this: How do you go up an elevator and into a world full of lava? It makes no sense.
Unless you forgot the journey there, and the last thing you remember is the Elevator ride.
Stuck on a paper for college started listening instantly removed mental block
Cari amici Tortisiani che leggono questo commento, è il momento di prendere possesso della sezione commenti anche sotto questo video per narrare le gesta di Firenzo e Sabaku II, il nostro re Ka'Sandro e il suo maestro Joel e dei nostri F e P, ormai giunti alla fine del mondo.
Siamo alla fine di questo lungo viaggio durato un anno, ma chissà quante altre avventure ci aspettano in mondi completamente diversi
Già, non saprei però pensare ad altri mondi migliori dei dark souls
*ahem* blodborne 60fps *ahem* myazaki *AHEM*
che le loro gesta vengano narrate per generazioni
Back here after the release of elden ring, and MAN does this bring back memories
This is actually super fucking awesome
This song is masterfully crafted, so much so I had AMV Ideas going through my head listening to it.
This video is a core memory
I'm actually finally coming around to really enjoying this song. I guess I was part of the crowd that didn't think the style of the song really fit the game well at first, but once you get past that, it really is the best soulsong.
