The calm before the storm.
+Harvey Wright Are you referring to tomb raider?
musicfan4455 No. It's just a famous saying.
Ok, Thanks for the reply
+Mr. Bones lol your pic
The calm before the storm. You mean that it's calm right now that you are making the character and then....the storm that is it's difficulty XD
Best piece in the game.
Sounds a bit like the original Tomb Raider soundtrack.
Yes
What about plin plin plon?
Gwyn artorias
'Be wary of tears...'
"Try sadness"
As soon as I heard this theme, I knew I would love this game. Before I started making my character I just waited on the screen and listened to the music.
+The Ages of Smash yeah me too
holy fuck i started few days ago and i have a feeling that few years from now imma hear this by accident and just start crying
well i finished it a week ago and maaaaaaaaaan i already miss everything
Same
Ditto
Reminds me of Resident Evils 1-4 typewriter rooms.
Cache Phish Exactly! Classic RE-harp sound
Yep, totally agree.
yeah me to
Agree
Wow bro, legit THINKING THIS
a game that will never be uninstalled.
ive gotten rid of 2 that many times, same with 3 but ive never managed to delete this one
I relate to this hard af
From 2012
I did, same as dark souls 3 and bloodborne.
I uninstalled it
Ha... my son just put this on my computer to play in the background while I work. Strangely calming.
9
9 indeed my friend, 9 indeed.
10
@@MDOGSKILLZ yes
@@MDOGSKILLZ I beg to differ.
The character creation screen, one of the only places where you're truly safe in the game.
Also the place where the game hasn’t even begun, a metaphor
the bells make this song hit DIFFERENT
When MW3 had reached the end of its peak, I remember buying this after a friend recommended it to me. One of the best decisions I've ever made. The thousands of hours spent playing this can never be brought back, but it was not a waste. Truly a one of a kind game that will forever stand the testament of time in gaming history.
I have begun my first playthrough of Dark Souls 1 a couple days ago.
The feeling I got from this old, yet atmospheric track is godlike.
Isn't it fucking awesome?
Praise The Sun \0/ How far along are you?
Lbird1993 Praise the sun indeed! \[T]/
***** I happy to report I've arrived in Anor Londo ( Sorry for the late asf reply lol)
However i'm afraid i've not really explored most of the ingame world, like the noob I am. And almost every boss i've encounterd has had me require help from A.I summons, which many people on the internet seem to do themselves so I don't feel to bad.
My class is a Knight(since i haven't really thought of reading a guide), Nevertheless going through the campaign has felt all the more satisfying.
James Atkins, So... How is your playthrough?
Best track in the game, and yet nowhere to be heard in the official soundtrack.
Fucking why?
It's definitely one of the best- my favorite is the one that plays after you beat the game, "Nameless Song", along with a few battle themes. Most notably Great Grey Wolf Sif's theme.
I dunno if it didn't used to be, but it is on there. It's called A Moment's Peace and it's the last track.
Same with demons souls man
Its weird this isn't my favorite souls but I always miss the game so much for some reason. Whenever I play it it doesn't feel the same. It genuinely hurts, this game is so special to me.
Same man love this game to bits
@sage-hf6bx me too. I love all the other ones but this one gave me such a different feeling like a dream or something.
idk about anyone else, but this tune brings out certain primal emotions. very melancholic
I find it funny how peaceful this ost is. Considering the lack of peace that is this game..
Great composed piece of music.
The Knomadic Knomad its the only piece you will find before diving head first into the depth of madness that is dark souls
But there is peace in this game. The intensity of the trials it put you through made each bonfire respite and pause to take in a beautiful view that much more meaningful.
Every now and then I'll boot up the game just so I can hear this song.
Those chimes are so beautiful.
in my restless dreams i see that game, Dark Souls...
Man, a Fromsoft developed Silent Hill game would actually be pretty interesting
+Nathan Eskin I think so, too
From soft would make such a good silent hill man. They know how to do atmosphere.
SH2... Promise
Just started playing Dark Souls, after spending over 200 hrs on Bloodborne. I heard this song and immediately knew I was about to spend 200hrs in another souls game xD
+AIONBERSERKER did you just stared dark souls for 200 hours? wow you do have no soul
Dark Souls 1 is way better imo :)
+AIONBERSERKER Enjoy your wonderful journey, but I think you should've started with Demon's Souls first
IraqiNoob
Thanks bro, I'll definitely check out Demon Souls at some point too.
+AIONBERSERKER And DS3 has nothing like this :-(
I can't really explain it but this song always brings tears to my eyes, there's something about the soothing contemplative melody being mixed with the celestial synth simultaneously being brought down to Earth by the gongs of the bells, it just hits so hard.
And yes, as others have pointed out, I can hear major influences on this track from the Resident Evil save room themes. Such a masterpiece.
It's childhood beckoning. At home, turning your Playstation on, block TV, playing a game you couldn't even comprehend if it was good or not, you just simply played it. The journey to the end of the game. The music. The sounds of you selecting menus.
This game along with its music probably had more impact on me than any other game besides FF7 and of course, Resident Evil 2 when I was a child. Maybe the similarities between this song and RE's music is why I connected with it so much.
When I heard this for the first time, I immediately realized that this game would be one of the best ever. Surely, I wasn't disappointed.. I mean who can forget the Moonlight butterfly, Sif and, of course, Ornstein and Smough fights. How easily one could miss the Great Hollow and subsequently the tranquility of the Ash Lake..
I remeber when i hid, ran, and cowered against every foe.. And with study...i learned the game.. And went on to slaughter the undead minions.
+MediaBully I never got past the blighttown, i still dont have the patience to do it.
Jolly Roger. Do it, it's worth it.
bruh who can forget the taurus demon? That was the first real HARD enemy
and how you can forget the motherfuckin gargoyles? Those dudes made me rage for hours during my first run
Man this theme and resident evils safe rooms really know how to chill you out for a moment
resident evil typewriter and/or berserk
+tharbk01 Every time I hear this, I think of the type writer, and vice-versa. Don't know the Berserk one though. Is it from the show?
+tharbk01 Yeah it sounds pretty similar but this one is pretty good too
lol I just came here to see if anyone else said this (typewriter, I've seen berserk but I dont remember much besides the rage and the gore)
Whoa. It does sound like RE4 typewriter theme. Mind exploded. I have never noticed that until now. Good ear.
ikr, it sounds so familiar
wish DkS3 had some music like this, the whole game has a gloomy feeling to it, while DkS1 felt magical!
Dks3's character creator music is better then this
Agreed. I loved Dark Souls 3 and how dark it was, but the atmoshpere of Dark Souls 1 had something unreal, that just can't be explained, only listened to.
DKS3 creation music was literally the main menu music rewritten melodramatically.
This dominates DKS3's creation music beyond fathom, please.
DKS3 did NOT feel gloomy. lol
Dark Souls 2 did, especially Demon's Souls.
DKS3 felt hot-headed and monotone throughout the entire game, hence the theme of the game, "embers".
Couldn't agree more. DS3 completely lacked those surreal music that made the preceeding titles great.
This song exists in the OST and its called "Souls of Fire" also its the song of the menu not character creation (the character creation is an "extension" of the menu, so thats why).
SOULS OF FIRE. It not a mistake, its there.
I have the limited edition and this track is not included in the OST disc!
It’s A Moments Peace; though this is hella late
@@kingcal52 better late than never sir
@@MZibari it’s definitely in the digital store version of dark souls on the 360
Interesting how demons souls character creator music is titled souls of mist. Each one is thematically tied to their respective games
Man, every time I hear this; I get the shivers. Stay awesome now and forever Dark Souls.
And yet, some say games aren't art.
With your idubbbz choking on a pickle picture lmao
Well this is music. Not a game. (Yes I know it's from a game, but in the end this is music.)
@@glorykiller998 I agree, games are art. Why wouldn't they be... In many ways, come to think of it, they're the largest combination of artistic expression. You have artwork and graphic design, the interactivity element including martial art the character may display, and the music... Is good
Today ?!
No they not.
It deppends on the game, I wouldn't consider The last of us "art", art, if I'm not wrong, must be the product in its whole, and we're talking about *Videogames* not about interactive movies or theater or painting, music, etc. So, good examples of videogames as art are Dark souls, Metal gear solid 3, and Hotline Miami
I always find myself coming back to this video at random points in my life.
Come back
Come back, dont you dare go hollow friend
.....I actually needed that thank you, friend. @@supersamui.4423
this reminds me of when I was a noob and I was all like what's with the dumb music but now I'm so sad because I wish I could go back to when I first got this and had no idea of what's to come in it. countless hours in undeadburg thinking it was the only area of the game
I get paying no mind to this when you didn't have a connection to it yet, but why would you even think "what's with the dumb music"? I mean, even out of context, it sounds fine and appropriate for a character creation menu.
Thats why u need soul.
I miss it.
Moments we dont enjoy.
undead burg was the shit
Dude I was so dumb at the time I didn't even knew how to get to the burg, I thought the way to go was to kill the skeletons until a friend told me there were some stairs I had to climb and that the enemies were easier.
Hauntingly beautiful. Thank you.
Videogames are another type of art.
The world-building in DS1 is so bloody skillful as well.
I remember first encountering this game at a random internet cafe 8 years ago. I was in my last year of high school with some of my classmates. We were all playing counterstrike. I eventually got bored of it and decided to check out what other games the cafe had. As you hover each game, its respective main theme would play. I remember hovering over Dark Souls 1 and this beautiful song played. I was completely enchanted and mesmerized, but the feeling wasn't weird or anything; it felt like home. It's as if I was destined to encounter this game (and eventually the rest of this brilliant series of games.)
I'll never forget that cold yet warm morning.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing this memory.
@@LSK2K 🥰
This is the best music to play while working on a pen and paper bloodborne-themed role-playing game
Well, that actually sounds kind of cool, tbh... I'd play it.
It's hella fun my dudes
I came here so I could use it for a surreal horror tabletop game I have been working on for months.
It's a little inspired by Dark Souls. It's not super hard or punishing, but they can lose currency in the same way players can lose souls.
So in that sense players can sort of "lose everything", but I don't expect them to die very often. But in some scenarios death can inadvertently lead to new areas since their bodies are carried away and reassembled somewhere safer, the beginning involves a player trying to struggle out of a wheelchair (they're bound by barbed wire) as it slowly slides backwards into a glowing red abyss.
If the player willingly jumps in afterwards though, they'll die, but nanobots will carry their body to a unique hidden area that's otherwise hard to find, which can also lead to an in accessed area which also has a door that only opens from one side ala dark souls (a chair propped against a knob prevents access to a stairwell from one side until its pulled out.
Or as I like to call it, "The Calm Before the Storm of Death"
Like they're saying "Please, enjoy this relaxing music before you die horribly a thousand times"
I couldn't agree more.
Words cannot describe the feels this song evokes in me. I feel sad, as the violin and chimes seem to resonate a finality, like the embers of a dying fire, a conclusion has been reached, however not in your favor. The end of an era, and submission into darkness.
But, there is a faint glimmer of hope, as streams of light pierce the darkness of your cell in the Undead Asylum, and there is a chance that maybe, just maybe, you can defeat the forces of darkness and restore hope to a world where none remains. You are all that stands in the way of all that is good in the world that remains, and those who seek to destroy what is left.
If any of that even makes any sense
Fuck I just saw the alternative cut scene before fighting the Great Grey Wolf Sif while listening to this and now i'm tearing up. Can someone hand me a tissue?
I can't do this...
I did it!
+Aftershock WG Praise the Sun!
"God damnit! Son of a--ugh! I swear to god, I hate this fu--"
"Honey? What's wrong?'
"I'm playing Dark Souls, and I'm stuck."
"What part are you on?"
"The character creation screen."
Beautiful. Had this in my head all day and this just soothed a vicious brain itch. Thanks for the upload!
I have the Darksign tattooed on my back between my shoulder blades. It beckons me whenever I listen to this, a slightly painful yet soothing burn.
It reminds me that should I ever die, there will always be a bonfire waiting for me.
O wow
Don't you dare go hollow, brother.
@@AlrauneDollmind Andre of Astora would be displeased with me if I did.
"Be careful out there. Neither of us want to see you go hollow."
since the days of Dark Souls, I still sing this song all the day until now
Not only is the game extremely difficult and beautiful at the same time, but the music too is both beautiful to listen to and somewhat "difficult": it's not the same old 4/4, instead it adds a little shift in the rhythm with the 5/4. Very well done.
9/4, actually
RuseOfTheMetacarpi
That's right, I just wanted to be clear that it's not 3+3+3 (as if it was made of triplets), but 5+4.
Well, if you refer to each harp note in the consistent arpeggiation pattern as the reference beat for the meter denominator it would actually have to be 9/8 where each phrase cycles, because those are eighth note steps relative to the tempo. 9/4 also works if you want to count beats at half the rate of the harp tones (at the actual tempo, which is a bit less than 120 quarter note beats per minute) but it's tricky because the downbeat gets displaced to the upbeat relative to the pattern's feel after the fifth quarter note of the measure because of the odd number of eighth notes in the actual pattern.
I know, I wrote a music a piece with the 5+4 scheme and thought of it as 9 on 8, but then people immediately think of 3+3+3 and get confused, so maybe writing 9/4 is the better way... I'm actually conflicted about whether to use the 9/8 or 9/4, one seems somewhat more correct, the other more "immediately understandable".
So beautiful. Reminds me of reading my favorite fantasy novels as a kid.
Chills every time.
very magic
Beat this game for the first time last night.. listening to this on repeat to cope with the post game depression
Heard this song so much, but never really thought of it as actual music
+Flush Nutch wat
+Flush Nutch Yeah, like a poem, emotionally powerful but without a defined form. I just think it's beautiful. Music is great, good music, I mean.
Metatron Cube Yeah, I like good music too.
Your just used to music that have percussion. This is Ambiance genre. Its a pretty self descriptive title.
This sounds like an guitar arrangement
As someone who finished this game several times, this song always gives the feeling of being inside a mother's womb. At first it's very peaceful but the music gets gradually tense as it comes to the ending (the character's birth) and the bell tolls adding to the tension. One small detail that I just realized about this song is that you hear the bells 9 times during one loop (I'm stating this because it's an extended version of the original ost and it plays twice here). I find this very interesting as the sound of the bells feel so uncomfortable like they are a countdown for your character to face the dark, unforgiving world of dark souls. And as everybody knows a baby has to stay 9 months inside their mother's womb. I don't necessarily believe this was intentional by the composers yet it's such a cool detail that I didn't see anyone else talk about so I had to write this.
The moment this music comes on is when you realize how much you've missed playing this old masterpiece for so long.
This sounds like something that would play in a Resident Evil save room.
Am I the only one that gets so sad from this song. I wont ever be able to experience this game for the first time ever again
i love how one can just inmerse himself in this game and make the time just fly away...
Death ahead in short be weary of death.
How im feeling nostalgic over a game i played 3 months ago?
Just started my first playthrough 2 days ago, it took me an hour to create my character just because I didn’t want this melody to end.
I've spent days in the character creation menu and this music never got old
And so it begins...
kinda reminds of the save theme from RE4 :P
Yes! Two of my favorite vg pieces of music
Nackols I literally came here to see if anyone else thought so :L
JCoyle92 haha really?
that's cool xD
Nackols the only place where you feel safe in RE4...
+Nackols I was thinking of the Save Room from RE1 :P
The fact that i didn't need to question my self when did i hear this it was an instinct to know thats how magical is dark souls 1 to me
Dark Souls is still one of the greatest games of all time.
Yah I think that dark souls kept a sense of wonder and mystery that just kept you hooked throughout the game. I wish dark souls 3 would've used that a little more
grey area x20
sometimes grey with a tint of yellow
I think it really only works once. But man...
I'm sure I've heard this soundtrack ingame though...very familiar
Nope, it plays only during character creation.
theres a part in the credits song that sounds similar
when i first heard this i unironically thought i bought the wrong game knowing what souls games are about
I love this game so much
Just started dark souls for the first time today and this already feels nostalgic to me
The most whimsical fantasy sounding song in the series.
When I hear it in my head is Anor Londo
Ah, the love of my life. The one ill Keep replaying till the day i die and nobody can change my mind ever
The theme of creation. Within its structure you may comprehend solitude and grace
It's a great song to have in the background while drawing, it gives everything this majestic feel and inspires you to be mindful of details and take your time
It really helps my creative process
This is what babies hear in the womb
I know this might be a bit late, however this track is relased, its called "a moments peace" and is in the original Album on spotify
So calm and so beautiful thank you
So good. So haunting.
Alas, they knew not what dwelled beneath the scared visage, the weathered plate he adorned. The etchings of blade and bone alike scrawled themselves a tale of struggle and pain across the breast. Boots scuffed and gloves worn from a tireless journey, shield scorched black from vile flames and belt loose from countless tools and trinkets passing through it's loops. His helmet, cold, still, and stalwart, acts as a visage for him, an identity made of steel, known only as what he wears.
This Knight, this traveling soul, despite his journey, his forging through fire and despair, is reprised by such a beautiful Melody. One of calm and stoicism.
It seems to suit him well.
Praise the sun!
Ah! Our famed savior! Welcome to my humble shop!
I have the best selection you'll ever find at this store at this moment of time! Please, look around!
Yoy249 Praise the pun! :D
Reminds me of the Typewriter music from RE4...
thats what puts it at the top of all the character creation songs in the souls series.
If we can get one more souls game with the music and storytelling from Dark Souls 1, the PvP from Dark souls 2, and the PvE gameplay and boss fight experience from Dark Souls 3, it would be one of the best games ever created.
Elden ring pal
@@noahanguiano7261Elden Ring’s music was mid unfortunately
One reason I’ll always love ds1 the best, is because of how calming the music is, this track, firelink shrine theme, pricilla boss theme, ash lake, daughter of chaos, and even gwyns boos theme. I remember when I was in school, I’d boot up this game and rest at ash lake bonfire, just to have the music playing in the background, while i did some homework.
Who still here after almost 8 years? because I am, and I'm here till the end.
Still here mate
Good upload, thank you
God, how I wish I could put words to this game, how I wish I could even wrap ly head around it.
I've been playing this game since I was very young, and to make anything that could capture what this game is like after years of playing seems simply impossible. Just the nature of that fact inspires me in some strange way. I just love this game man. I'd easily say this is the best game of all time by a landslide.
Yes and yes and yes
The best souls game ever. We need a ds4 with this style of design. Just a masterpiece. The lore, the detail, the feelings...art
I listen to this while I walk my dog. So peaceful. Praise the sun! \[T]/
I just wanted to replay these wow moments in this game again.
But I realized that's never going to happen. This is why Nostalgia exists.
Note, I'm not saying DaSII or DaSIII are bad games they're not. Just feels like DaS had some vision to pursue while the others are just trying to cash in on the coattails of this original vision. With the DLC for DaSIII dropping tomorrow I really hope that it adds a bit more of the old magic with a new flair.
draconic33 the real vision was in Demon's Souls
Well how was it?
Welp, time to hear this again on Friday...
I don't necessarily like this game or any of these games but when I was making my character here, I just had a thousand mile stare from this song. Puts you in a trance state.
this reminds me of the first time I played dark souls. this theme made it feel so magical. don't laugh at me if I cry from nostalgia. I just want to replay all those good memories
Forever.
Some fear the Darkness and yet, others find solace in it... Such a wonderful ost and game :D
Does anyone have a certain feeling about songs like this? A lot of 7th gen games had amazing calming songs like this that bring out a certain feeling about them. Safe room themes from Resident Evil also have that.
nah bro I have a 5th gen feeling, it sounds extremely derivative from the resident evil save room
Ahh Those bells in the background i just love it it's so peacful...
Thanks a lot for this song mate.The audio quality is VERY high and it's 10 mins long.Thanks a lot again *^*
thanks
Thank you very much for the download!
i died at the intro of the game.
i died while installing
wrcz i died before i could hit the download button xD
I died when I bought the game.
I died when the game was announced
I died in real life.
You rock ! with download link and everything ! thanks !
Shame this was never released, easily my favorite song from the game. Thanks for uploading!
This is the character creation music
First time i heard that music, back in 2011, i never thought i was about to get my ass kicked over and over again, and if i could go back in time, i would. Good times...
I love Dark Souls 😊
This music is magic.
I like to go back to this when times get hard, it reminds me of those times it was just me n dark souls when I was a noob. Reminiscing nostalgia
I LOVE that this piece contains the Bells of Awakening if you listen for long enough. It's like the bells are calling for the arrival of the Chosen Undead...
