Title: Dark Souls III Main Theme
Game: Dark Souls III
Composer: Yuka Kitamura, Motoi Sakuraba
Arranger: Pranoy Basu
Featuring: Karenna Foley (Choir Soprano)
The fire fades and the lords go without thrones.
The Age of Fire is in danger. The younger Prince Lothric has refused to link the fire, a sacrificial ritual that ensures the continuation of this era. In Dark Souls III, the player character assumes the role of Unkindled Ash, an undead who failed to link the fire in ages past. The player is reawakened by the toll of the bell and tasked with seeking out and defeating the Lords of Cinder, as they too have refused to take their throne and sacrifice themselves to link the fire. The music of Dark Souls is pensive and understated in peaceful areas but dramatic and ferocious during the game’s many challenging boss fights. The game’s main theme, arranged for a full orchestra and featuring a soprano solo, is the first thing the player hears upon starting the game in the main menu screen, setting the tone for the journey ahead. And so it is, that ash seeketh embers.

Dark Souls 3 will never be Dark Souls 3 without ost.
One of the best games EVER!
@@kipak-666 THE best game EVER!
Fun fact: The Swedish word "ost" means "cheese" which somehow makes sense, as well, in this sentence.
As well as every soulsborne game
@@youssefmah2241 Say it to Sekiro.
I waited a very long time for an orchestra to cover this piece
Same, it’s been years
I dreamt for so long. My flesh was dull gold ... and my blood, rotted.
Same. Best main theme I have heard.
And they did a mediocre job of it
@@venompede5017 They did good enough. DS3 is pretty hard for that
"Ashen one, hearest thou my voice, still?"
What a gut wrencher
Yes indeed.
😢
This game is just.. not just game. True artistic masterpiece that brings inspiration and meaning to life.
Just reading this line makes me shed a tear and I don't know why
The perfect theme to cry to after finishing a fantastic series
I contest this, one should instead cry to PLING PLING PLONG
respectable choice... but I draw "Epilogue"
i imagine in 20 years from now we'll have 10 more dark souls xD
@@telestotimelost4925 no i don't cry to the greatest sinner
@@slouchygamer3266i hope not. They ended it as perfect as they possibly could have. They’re smart enough not to risk it
I'm so glad the soloist had such a great voice. She did a great job. I've waited years for a live orchestra to cover this, and this will suffice. Though I hope one day a national orchestra will cover it.
Thank you!
@@karennafoley3640no way youre the soloist ? Your voice is something else , like it shook me to my core ......im just struck by the performance , there was legit no way this couldve been any better , congrats on the performance and keep it up !!!
@@karennafoley3640hi we need ds3 epilogue ,plz perform this, u have great voice
@@necroLAN holy simp
Do people like this? The original was already noisy and repetitive like the entire Dark Souls 3 soundtrack, but this one is out of tune and horrible
My goosebumps got goosebumps
And even those goosebumps got goosebumps
and goosebumps' kids got goosebumps
BOOPGUMPSE!
Even my arm hairs got goosebumps damn
僕も！
Yuka Kitamura wud be proud
Absolutely
of course
1:47 those 2 guys in the top left REALLY went for it.
Whole thing needs more of that energy. Song is super bold.
They had that Soul of Gwyn inspiring them.

I'll never forget the first time I played dark souls 3. I bought the game as soon as it came out, never having played a dark souls game before. All I knew was that it would be a challenge, and I decided I was up for it. I opened the game and was immediately stunned to silence by the main theme. I just sat there, taking it in. It remains one of my favorite video game songs of all time.
Dark Souls 3 definitely refined the series to a well oiled Dark Souls machine. The atmosphere in 3 is just so good. I wish it did more with the characters and story, but you can't really deny that there was this cool sense of awe about the places you would go.
I’m pretty sure ds3 was the last game I purchased while still having to bring my mother to buy it, they gave you an extra disc for the OST on the side and we bumped that shit all the way home
I feel you bro, I did the same
Same i was 15 years old back then now im 23, Time passes fast. I wish i could relive the experience man, it just breaks my heart.
Me too!
Years spent searching for an orchestra that did the menu theme. Absolute perfection
Es bueno pero le falta sincronizado es ciertas partes es un 6 /10
I'm not crying you're crying
We're crying
#metoo
God I miss it
You were incredible, as always
we miss you :(
Didn't ask 🤡💩
@@samp2651Mad 'cause no life incel
@@samp2651yet she said what she wanted to anyways. you gotta deal with it.
Finally, i can rest now. Beautiful.
1:45 man, I just love how the choir pulls you into that intense section
Man the original main title theme bro those low voices had that power, one of my favorite parts is that right there 😂
YT waited 2 months to recommend this.
Unforgivable
Four for me
Bruh
dishonest youtube wizardry
You're lucky. It took 4 for me
The tall guy in the middle looks like those really tall hollows with axes
LOL
Just cause he’s tall?
@@Bingoyamaguchi4because he's gone hollow
@@Fussfackel he is father ariendel
the soloist has a beautiful voice!
0:46 Literal Chills when she sings
Yuka Kitamura is a genius in composition, combining elements of Baroque southern european music, classical northern european orchestral elements and japanese style progression. Literally cannot beat it.
The best about kitamura is how she makes her songs. In an interview asking how she comes up with them she says that she listens to Miazaki rant about the theme and character he wanna explore to wich then she just sits at a piano tapin notes till she finds a motif and goes "oh that sounds good" and then just writes an orchestra of that.
Truly a Mozart of the modern age
Finally. I can rest now
guy went straight hollow
Solo vocalist went so hard in this 😯
Definitely my favorite orchestra
It's a crime that Overwatch won the best music award
So many young talented people! They all look my age if not a little older or younger! Man how amazing it would feel to be up there
dark souls 3 wouldnt be darksouls 3 without the dramatic opening music
Yuka Kitamura is my favorite composer. She is brilliant
I've been waiting for an orchestra to do this for so long! Actually made me tear up
Man those lugs are powerful. This motivates me to play dark souls all over again
0:42 Something about that building up, just gives me the goosebumps.
Do people like this? The original was already noisy and repetitive like the entire Dark Souls 3 soundtrack, but this one is out of tune and horrible
@@Andrew_Jones86ds53b I like it. If you don't, that's cool, man.
@@JuanGarcia-gy8vl The guy copy-pastes this answer. I believe that's the third comment I see where he's answered exactly the same thing
2019: I was about to take a shower after come to house from the work and the work out and pufffff!! I couldn't take it untill I heard 3 times in a row. Epic a lot!!!
The way the soloist sings made me cry, soo beautiful!!!
The bell sound makes it so goddamn memorable
Those are the bells of awakening!!
praise the sun
Eu esperei tanto por esse momento
Essa música chega arrepiar todinho
Simplesmente incrível ver uma performance ao vivo dessa música, me sinto realizado de certa forma
Simplesmente DS3
この壮大で空虚な素晴らしい曲をオーケストラで見ることが出来て幸せです
This is by far the best OST of any game imo. So much passion and anguish.
Just goosebumps, what a voice that soloist has to be perfectly spot on...
My god, when the soloist first came in I literally got goosebumps. She was incredible!
You make me shed a tear.. thanks.
Here is our heroine))) We all met DS with her voice!)
I'm crying 😭😭😭
It must be a reall hardwork to manage the volume level. But you did it pretty well.
finally someone made a cover for this masterpiece, it is beautiful I hope we get other souls themes too 😀
The greatest music I‘ve ever heard! Thanks for that. You‘ve beaten Dark Souls with your voice
This is awesome!
Im teary eye'd.
My life is fulfilled now
Great work, wish I was there.

Dark Souls III Main Theme is one of the best pieces of the music I have ever heard ! Glad you guys chose it

Beautiful!!!

Damn ❤
My favorite theme from my favorite game thank you
Chills

Now I need Soul of Cinder
2:02
The guy behind the vocalist was really feeling the music! And of course the vocalist herself has a beautiful voice.
Beautiful
Amazing how they play together in time.
Chills, bravo. You made this grown man cry.
I was in a choir for school at one point so I know how hard it is, but there is a bit of an issue with the choir being overshadowed by the orchestra.
The soloist was great with the vocals and volume too because of the mic, but the choir was a bit hard to hear. There's always the attempt of putting mics in front of the choir, but it's so hard to get that to work when you aren't singing directly into a mic.
Edit: I love that guy directly behind the soloist just jamming out on the violin, lol
nice
It must be amazing to be able to watch this in person ;-;
the soloist is so accurate, pure talent and effort 👏
Incredible
멋져요!
I have never got that much chills in my entire life... This touched definitely my hollowed soul
Such a stunning performance. Especially the main vocalist did such great job
I love it
Brilliant piece!!! Massive performance of the main singer. This is EPIC
WOAH the soloist has insane talent
Bring tears to my eyes
This is legit making me wanna replay ds3 holy shit. Absolutely amazing job.
Magnifico
goosebumps
Amazing job guys
YES!
amazing job everyone! loved it
Hearing her voice made me tear up with how epic this was❤
The goosebumps….
