If you love strategy games then I STRONGLY suggest playing FE!! However stick to the Casual difficulty if you do pick one up. Fates does have an option for Pheonix Mode if you're a person that very unsure of themselves at the game first. Warning though you'll grow very attached to some if not all the units so every choice counts if you want them all to not end up RIP.
The first verse is called the Hoshido verse (or Birthright verse). The second verse called the Nohr verse (or Conquest verse). The third verse is called the Valla verse (or Revelation) verse. The fourth verse is called the Heirs of Fate verse, which is omitted in most covers of this song.
Bloxmon 2470 Yea, cause in dialogue with Shigure he says the fourth verse is very deadly but won’t kill you as it tortured you for eternity as Azura told him.
Nathan Byberg For me, it is comparable to One Last You from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. If you don’t know the game, get some knowledge on it before listening to the song, you’d need it.
I've never heard Shigure's version before (doesn't help I've not played Fates yet) and I didn't know Matt Mercer could sing. I'm so glad I know now, it is heavenly. Thank you for this video.
Teagan Foose i’m sorry to say that fates was such a bad game... this was one of the few good things to come out of it. these games are widely regarded as the worst fire emblem games
@@jamilf9947 sorry for such a late reply, youtube, as usual, never notified me. But yeah, I've heard that Fates is bad. I'm probably not even gonna buy it until I run out of other Fire Emblem games to play and need something new, and that'll likely be a while as I've only played Echoes so far. (that's if I even decide I want it at all)
The best song from the Fire Emblem Fates games! I love how beautiful this peace is! This song never gets old! Such a beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing video game piece! Who’s with me on that and who is listening to this in March of 2019 besides me?
When I played Fire emblem birthrights, I found out that I'm not actually related to Hoshido or Nhor, apparently your mom in the game was running around looking for shelter in the rain with a newborn child and so the king of Hoshido's like "Yeah you can stay here", so they soon fell in love. But Ryoma (can't exactly remember his name), Takumi, Sakura, and Hinoka were already born.
I can sorta relate to the title of this song right now. Thanks to an ultimate betrayal by my most recent ex, who is now an evil and traitorous woman, I am definitely lost in thoughts and all alone right now. However, I have not given up hope on finding new love someday. Just like the lyrics, one day the thorn in my heart will become a rose, and someday someone will hear my cry! Until then, this beautiful piece by the incredible and inspirational Rena Strober will inspire me to be the best possible me I can be. I will not be a nice guy who finishes last! I will never give up! Someone will hear my cry!
I know it’s a long shot but..I wish we could get the sorta light song/dark song thing with relevation and shifters verse. The Neutral Song And Fates Song
I know I’m about four months late here but if you think that’s crazy, every verse is prophetic of it’s route. “A double edged blade cuts your heart in two”-Xander accidentally kills Elise, “waking dreams fade away”-Azura fading at the end. Then for conquest “Gaze upon an empty white throne, a legacy of lies, a familiar disguise”- The entire I am betrayal cutscene shot for shot.
Dead earth sage if no armistice shows contemporary for continuing old grudges heart of pride denial rich purple stand stall as it relents with a water dancer
Why does this game get so much hate? Honestly. I play fire emblem since Binding blade, and the only two other FE’s to make me feel like I did back then is Fates and echoes
For me I think it's a mixture of nostalgia and elitism. The older games have their flaws too, but they get swept under the rug through nostalgia goggles.
Corrin is kinda bland and boring, this song is played way too often and having a golden route is just wrong. Gameplay-wise conquest was good, but story was shit. Vice versa for birthright. Revelations was just gimmicks. This is coming from someone who started with Fates.
"I have family in Hoshido. I also have family in Nohr. Even if I were to lose everything... Even if they all despise me... I can't choose to side with one against the other. I simply can't do that. I don't care if I lose everything. This is what I've decided."
When I upgraded to Revelations after doing both Conquest and Birthright I can never go back to either of them, its just too hard to do such a thing especially once you've played the Heirs of Fate DLC.
I've finally found a video with every verse in it! Thank you! I get that the fourth verse isn't really included because the actual song cuts off and Azura stops being the main singer, but still. Thank you.
This is even better, because not only makes sense in having Shigure singing as well, but also proves Matt Mercer can do almost anything... Including singing like an angel. I would definitely want to see this performed live (somehow, I know it's videogame music, but it's just too damn great)
@@AlexanderLingg And I never knew until today that there was a concert where they actually played this song live (granted, it was in Japanese, but they did play it live) for the 25th Anniversary of Fire Emblem. Not only they played this song, but also another personal favorite: Life Returns from Path of Radiance.
@@branlopgar Ya know, sometimes facts hit really hard. And this is one of these facts, because I wasn't there. But hey, life goes on and I can listen to this wonderful piece whenever I want, so no problem there Even tho hearing it live would be neat af
@@BakingSoda4U the story was flawed in so many different ways. All 3 pathways (including the Heirs of Fate DLC) could've been done so much better then how it was presented. However Conquest was probably the only pathway that was not to shabby
@@BakingSoda4U Their original script was about 3x the length and detail of the one they actually ended up using for the game due to development constraints. The third of their plans they ended up keeping was mostly incest (Your romantic options: your stepsiblings, your adoptive siblings, your first cousin, some animal people. The non-options (mercifully): your adoptive parents, your actual parents, your blood sister). Granted, no guarantee that it would've been good if they managed to fit in their full plan, but just bear in mind that we got a third of the intended game and it was the *weird* third.
Birthright: In the white light, sing with me a song of birthrights and love, dawn breaks Conquest: Embrace the dark, sing with me a song of conquest and faith, night breaks through Revelation: Into the ground, sing with me a song of silence and blood
Neat thing about that is that the first few words of each verse: "In the White Light", "Embrace the Dark" and "Into the Ground" are the names of Chapter 6 in each route respectively
I'm laughing so hard imagining this, like you have Chrom straight up *belting* out the lyrics, Ryoma deadpanning it all like "I was paid to be here", then Shigure pouring his soul into it, while Corrin films it and Robin just *s i g h*
Yea but I can also see that Fredrick trying to tell Lissa and chrom why Robin is a plegin spy ( I think I spelled that right idk) you have sully cursing out Viron Morgan and kana just talking you have Xander and Ryoma fighting over who is more attractive have Azura and shigure singing corrin is thinking if he chose the right side Garon is still just can't move cause corrin want move and you just have grima there like " why is my past self weird"
So a few things I've noticed: 1) This is the first time I realised that she sings "double-edged blade". I always thought she sung "bullet blade" and thought "is this Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy?" 2) "In my ancient heart dwells madness and pride" makes lot of sense if you realise that this song was written by Anankos. 3) This would actually make a really good title song for World of Light, seeing how neither light nor darkness is good in WOL.
7:45 I love that you can hear Azura singing in the background! I always imagine this part of the like this: Shigure sings up to this part. Azura appears next to him and they look at each other, crying tears of joy to see each other one last time and sing as loud and as passionately as they can to defeat anankos
I never heard Shigure's version before this. And then literally I summoned Shigure in FEH. Coincidence? I think not. Probably the best version of the song
JoeDavisEggy Tbh if they made an Easter egg w an Azura of the timeline they would sing it in concert hall ex Birthright Azura would sing end of all Sky Conquest Azura End of all Ground and Revelations Azura the entire thing and Lil Azura The basics and Shigure 4th verse but he would be after the war and could sing without the curse
I was playing one of the Heirs of Fate DLC's, and was blown away when I realized that Shigure was singing this song as the BGM for the battle. It was epic.
Anankos knew he was going mad. I can't help but wonder, did he on purpose sire Corrin with a human(Mikoto) in order to have his child stop him when he did go mad? It's the only thing I could think of even after all these years. Anankos literally put in place everything needed to put him down should he have gone mad and feral and try and destroy the world. He wrote a song that is sadly, also a double edged blade to the one singing it(You can see and tell it literally is killing/hurting Azura to use it), a shard of his dragonstone(the pendant), ect.
I would love to have a crossover between the legend of Zelda and Fire Emblem I don’t know about on what kind of game play with that crossover but I could see what the first 2 cut scene would take place
Okuyasu Nijimura I could see link and Chrom training together at the hyrule castle meanwhile princess Zelda and Hinoka drinking tea or something Zelda’s room and suddenly someone or something attack’s the castle
I think I got the translation for the Japanese Version: _Swaying and being swayed_ (You are the ocean's gray waves) _One's thoughts hang in the balance_ (Destined to seek life beyond the shore just out of reach) _Like ephemeral bubbles down the river stream_ (Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time) _A hand will open up the path to tomorrow_ (The path is yours to climb) _Reaching out to the light_ (In the white light, a hand reaches through) _The infallible silver blade_ (A double-edged blade cuts your heart in two) _Will awaken those slumbering hopes_ (Waking dreams fade away) _With a mighty slash_ (Embrace the brand new day) _A song that brings peace to the world_ (Sing with me a song of Birthrights and Love) _Scatters a soft light from a crystal_ (The light scatters to the sky above) _Like a sunrise that drives away the darkness_ (Dawn breaks through the gloom, white as a bone) _One's Thoughts_ (Lost in Thoughts All Alone) _Swaying and being swayed_ (You are the ocean's gray waves) _One's thoughts hang in the balance_ (Destined to seek life beyond the shore just out of reach) _Like ephemeral bubbles down the river stream_ (Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time) _That hand will open up the path to tomorrow_ (The path is yours to climb) _On a path to darkness_ (Embrace the dark, you call a home) _Toward an empty white throne_ (Gaze upon an empty white throne) _One will deceive them all_ (A legacy of lies) _By spinning a false tale_ (A familiar disguise) _A dull obsidian seeps across the sky_ (Sing with me a song, of Conquest and Fate, the black pillar cracks beneath its weight) _Like a sunset that drives away the light_ (Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone) _One's Thoughts_ (Lost in Thoughts All Alone) _No matter which path is chosen_ (The path you walk on belongs to destiny, just let it flow) _They will all surely lead to smiles and grief, regrets and dreams_ (All of your joy and your pain will fall like the tide, let it flow) _One will wander, worn out by indecision and uncertainly in their future_ (Life is not just filled with happiness, nor sorrow) _There will surely be roses that cut them along the way_ (Even the thorn in your heart, in time it may become a rose) _Sinking into a ravine_ (A burdened heart, sinks into the ground) _The wandering heart will drift about_ (A veil falls away without a sound, not day nor night, wrong nor right) _Wishing a childish wish_ (For truth and peace, you fight!) _That when the descent bound by blood_ (Sing with me a song of Silence and Blood) _Finishes off this corpse buried deep within madness_ (The rain falls but can't wash away the mud) _That someone is clearly made aware of out thoughts_ (Within my ancient heart dwells, madness and pride) _As if it were reflected upon the water's surface_ (Can no one hear my cry?!) _Swaying and being swayed_ (You are the ocean's gray waves) _One's Thoughts hang in the balance_ (Destined to seek life beyond the shore just out of reach) _Like ephemeral bubbles down the river stream_ (Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time) _Those hands will open up the way to tomorrow_ (The path is yours to climb) _Being swayed, and swaying_ (You are the ocean's gray waves)
@@domotron3598 It's literally two diferent songs and i don't have a problem with it English version talks about Corrin and Anankos realizing that he will go crazy Japanese version is about Anankos and a prophecy about what will happen And honestly i love both equally
Fates is far from a perfect game, there’s no denying that, but listening to this, thinking back to pre-release hype, remembering hearing this after beating my first ever Fire Emblem? Unmatched.
Good thing back in 2016 my mom got me the Special Edition cartridge even though I only asked for Birthright, damn... I can only imagine how much this cartridge will be once Revelation becomes inaccessible
Nathan Byberg As there is nothing human about a Fell Dragon such as myself, culture like this is...interesting. I suppose the wings of despair and breath of ruin will have to take a break.
I hate that Fates’s story could’ve been made indefinitely better if we had to wait until about mid-game to resolve Corrin’s dragon-emphasized anger issues. There were a lot of other problems with it, but that change alone could’ve fixed a lot of things that were wrong with Corrin’s character in general, and maybe made things more deep.
Such a great song to listen to! So peaceful and calming! Great tune to listen to after a bad day. This song has helped me fight some pain I've gone through fairly recently, and it also given me some hope. This song touched the mind in so many ways, its that good!
So I understand the singer of the final part of this song is a man named Shigure? From what I understand, depending on how it's spelt in Japanese, Shigure can mean, "autumn rain."
Yeah the last part is from Heirs of Fate, a story alongside the main story where only the children of the main characters lived, and need to save the world. Shigure is Azura’s son and inherited her power of song, and thus sings Lost in Thoughts All Alone as well. Also you taught me that Japanese word, 時雨, I’m learning Japanese so that’s very interesting to me. Azura and Shigure have a theme of water to their character, so that meaning makes sense.
HyperLuigi And he has the power akin to the ancient Vallite King I forgot his name (if you remember pls correct me) who was friends with Anankos before he was corrupted
I know I’m a little late to this song. But it just makes me cry nowadays. My ex used to sing it to me and she had such a beautiful voice. Unfortunately, she broke up with me for reasons I can’t even tell any of you because I don’t even know myself. Guess I just weren’t good enough for her. Hope she’s happy wherever she is, at the very least I tried.
It is supposed in the third verse azura sings this verse but then dies and in the fourth verse all of the parents are dead and the kids have to beat ananokos
I've owned Revelation for so long yet never heard the 3rd Verse... I've heard the first and second verses, and the 4th one a few times, but never the third...
You are more than welcome to, but I have to warn you that it doesn't sound right to me because the instrumental in both have a different timbre when it should be the same.
Listening to this in November 2019, on the 2 year anniversary of my evil ex-girlfriend cheating on me. I can relate since I'm still single after 2 years, and at the moment I'm truly lost in thoughts and all alone irl. However, this song fills me with hope that one day I will find new love and the thorn in my heart will become a rose again someday! Someday, somewhere, someone will hear my cry! I will never give up on life! The most inspirational song ever! Any other listeners today besides me?
I don't remember when this was commented but someone said in reference to 3houses Verse 1: golden deer Verse 2: black eagles Verse 3: blue lions Verse 4: Byleth (to an extent) And I havnt been able to stop thinking about it 😭 Especially verse 2 cus it fits all to well
In endless dreams, countless realms collide💙 Hope falls only to rise like the changing tide💙 But all dreams come to an end💙 Just whispers on the waves...💙

Never played FE but from my understanding that the last verse is sung by Azuras son I love how it starts with just him and slowly becomes both of them
If you love strategy games then I STRONGLY suggest playing FE!! However stick to the Casual difficulty if you do pick one up. Fates does have an option for Pheonix Mode if you're a person that very unsure of themselves at the game first. Warning though you'll grow very attached to some if not all the units so every choice counts if you want them all to not end up RIP.

conquest in particular has amazing music, its the fire Emblem of a game composed by Tim folin (lack for a better way of explaining that)
What do you mean, "butchered"?
@@BakingSoda4U the story was flawed in so many different ways. All 3 pathways (including the Heirs of Fate DLC) could've been done so much better then how it was presented. However Conquest was probably the only pathway that was not to shabby
@@Zander_Alx Conquest is one of my favorite fire emblem's only because of the gameplay (and some of the characters)
@@BakingSoda4U Their original script was about 3x the length and detail of the one they actually ended up using for the game due to development constraints. The third of their plans they ended up keeping was mostly incest (Your romantic options: your stepsiblings, your adoptive siblings, your first cousin, some animal people. The non-options (mercifully): your adoptive parents, your actual parents, your blood sister).
Granted, no guarantee that it would've been good if they managed to fit in their full plan, but just bear in mind that we got a third of the intended game and it was the *weird* third.
Birthright: In the white light, sing with me a song of birthrights and love, dawn breaks
Conquest: Embrace the dark, sing with me a song of conquest and faith, night breaks through
Revelation: Into the ground, sing with me a song of silence and blood
I don't want to be *that* guy, but Conquest and Fate.*
into the ground? ಠಿ_ಠ
Neat thing about that is that the first few words of each verse: "In the White Light", "Embrace the Dark" and "Into the Ground" are the names of Chapter 6 in each route respectively
During the last verse all I can hear is Shigure, Chrom, and Ryoma singing this all at once
Be careful chrom don't break the music notes
I'm laughing so hard imagining this, like you have Chrom straight up *belting* out the lyrics, Ryoma deadpanning it all like "I was paid to be here", then Shigure pouring his soul into it, while Corrin films it and Robin just *s i g h*
XD yea
Yea but I can also see that Fredrick trying to tell Lissa and chrom why Robin is a plegin spy ( I think I spelled that right idk) you have sully cursing out Viron Morgan and kana just talking you have Xander and Ryoma fighting over who is more attractive have Azura and shigure singing corrin is thinking if he chose the right side Garon is still just can't move cause corrin want move and you just have grima there like " why is my past self weird"
lmaoo the most epic crossover event in history
So a few things I've noticed:
1) This is the first time I realised that she sings "double-edged blade". I always thought she sung "bullet blade" and thought "is this Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy?"
2) "In my ancient heart dwells madness and pride" makes lot of sense if you realise that this song was written by Anankos.
3) This would actually make a really good title song for World of Light, seeing how neither light nor darkness is good in WOL.
That's a gunblade, not bullet blade.
@@noobdude5933 Darn. Word association got me again.
@@dracos0024 😢😣😢😣😂😂
Dracos002 agreed it makes sense
The "Endless Dawn came, but not without a price" part actually makes me of the scenario of Galeem winning in WoL.
7:45 I love that you can hear Azura singing in the background!
I always imagine this part of the like this:
Shigure sings up to this part.
Azura appears next to him and they look at each other, crying tears of joy to see each other one last time and sing as loud and as passionately as they can to defeat anankos
that be spoilers don't
I literally never noticed that until I listened after reading this comment! Still mostly heard Shigure but I was able to faintly hear Azura's voice.
Its probably more like Placebo effect but its pretty sad though
I agree with first part
I never heard Shigure's version before this. And then literally I summoned Shigure in FEH. Coincidence? I think not. Probably the best version of the song
JoeDavisEggy Tbh if they made an Easter egg w an Azura of the timeline they would sing it in concert hall ex Birthright Azura would sing end of all Sky Conquest Azura End of all Ground and Revelations Azura the entire thing and Lil Azura The basics and Shigure 4th verse but he would be after the war and could sing without the curse
I was playing one of the Heirs of Fate DLC's, and was blown away when I realized that Shigure was singing this song as the BGM for the battle. It was epic.
The fourth verse was only available in the dlc where shigure is singing in the back ground
Yeah! I had no idea this version existed. I thought it was a fan-made verse. Can someone tell me which DLC this is from?
@@josephbiddle1637 to really here his verse u have to play all six of the heirs of fate dlc the names of the episodes are all a part of the song
Anankos knew he was going mad. I can't help but wonder, did he on purpose sire Corrin with a human(Mikoto) in order to have his child stop him when he did go mad? It's the only thing I could think of even after all these years. Anankos literally put in place everything needed to put him down should he have gone mad and feral and try and destroy the world. He wrote a song that is sadly, also a double edged blade to the one singing it(You can see and tell it literally is killing/hurting Azura to use it), a shard of his dragonstone(the pendant), ect.
I've never listened to the shigure version of this and I literally screamed when he started singing :"3 my beautiful boy
I would love to have a crossover between the legend of Zelda and Fire Emblem I don’t know about on what kind of game play with that crossover but I could see what the first 2 cut scene would take place
@@elementalheroneos2757 I would say the Warriors-style would work well, aince both series have a Dynasty Warriors game to them.
Okuyasu Nijimura that could work
Okuyasu Nijimura I could see link and Chrom training together at the hyrule castle meanwhile princess Zelda and Hinoka drinking tea or something Zelda’s room and suddenly someone or something attack’s the castle
@@elementalheroneos2757 based on this, I ended up thinking of OoT Impa sparring with Kaze.
"A *Familiar* Disguise~~"
Damn. Always gets me
This song still rules in 2020!
YESSSS IT DOES
emilee rollins: Respect to you my friend
Nathan Byberg Thank you, thank you. I always come back to this song
emilee rollins: Same here, as it is so inspirational
Nathan Byberg So true
I think I got the translation for the Japanese Version:
_Swaying and being swayed_ (You are the ocean's gray waves)
_One's thoughts hang in the balance_ (Destined to seek life beyond the shore just out of reach)
_Like ephemeral bubbles down the river stream_ (Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time)
_A hand will open up the path to tomorrow_ (The path is yours to climb)
_Reaching out to the light_ (In the white light, a hand reaches through)
_The infallible silver blade_ (A double-edged blade cuts your heart in two)
_Will awaken those slumbering hopes_ (Waking dreams fade away)
_With a mighty slash_ (Embrace the brand new day)
_A song that brings peace to the world_ (Sing with me a song of Birthrights and Love)
_Scatters a soft light from a crystal_ (The light scatters to the sky above)
_Like a sunrise that drives away the darkness_ (Dawn breaks through the gloom, white as a bone)
_One's Thoughts_ (Lost in Thoughts All Alone)
_Swaying and being swayed_ (You are the ocean's gray waves)
_One's thoughts hang in the balance_ (Destined to seek life beyond the shore just out of reach)
_Like ephemeral bubbles down the river stream_ (Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time)
_That hand will open up the path to tomorrow_ (The path is yours to climb)
_On a path to darkness_ (Embrace the dark, you call a home)
_Toward an empty white throne_ (Gaze upon an empty white throne)
_One will deceive them all_ (A legacy of lies)
_By spinning a false tale_ (A familiar disguise)
_A dull obsidian seeps across the sky_ (Sing with me a song, of Conquest and Fate, the black pillar cracks beneath its weight)
_Like a sunset that drives away the light_ (Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone)
_One's Thoughts_ (Lost in Thoughts All Alone)
_No matter which path is chosen_ (The path you walk on belongs to destiny, just let it flow)
_They will all surely lead to smiles and grief, regrets and dreams_ (All of your joy and your pain will fall like the tide, let it flow)
_One will wander, worn out by indecision and uncertainly in their future_ (Life is not just filled with happiness, nor sorrow)
_There will surely be roses that cut them along the way_ (Even the thorn in your heart, in time it may become a rose)
_Sinking into a ravine_ (A burdened heart, sinks into the ground)
_The wandering heart will drift about_ (A veil falls away without a sound, not day nor night, wrong nor right)
_Wishing a childish wish_ (For truth and peace, you fight!)
_That when the descent bound by blood_ (Sing with me a song of Silence and Blood)
_Finishes off this corpse buried deep within madness_ (The rain falls but can't wash away the mud)
_That someone is clearly made aware of out thoughts_ (Within my ancient heart dwells, madness and pride)
_As if it were reflected upon the water's surface_ (Can no one hear my cry?!)
_Swaying and being swayed_ (You are the ocean's gray waves)
_One's Thoughts hang in the balance_ (Destined to seek life beyond the shore just out of reach)
_Like ephemeral bubbles down the river stream_ (Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time)
_Those hands will open up the way to tomorrow_ (The path is yours to climb)
_Being swayed, and swaying_ (You are the ocean's gray waves)
It's always interesting to see how different Japanese translations are from what's actually written/said
@@domotron3598 It's literally two diferent songs and i don't have a problem with it
English version talks about Corrin and Anankos realizing that he will go crazy
Japanese version is about Anankos and a prophecy about what will happen
And honestly i love both equally
Garon disliked this
And takumi
And Anankos in the future.
Dylan Shelly always blame takumi!
#blametakumi
But why did you dislike it huh?
Fates is far from a perfect game, there’s no denying that, but listening to this, thinking back to pre-release hype, remembering hearing this after beating my first ever Fire Emblem? Unmatched.
The closure of the 3DS eShop will affect what is referred to at 4:42 onward. I demand a Nintendo Switch version.
Good thing back in 2016 my mom got me the Special Edition cartridge even though I only asked for Birthright, damn... I can only imagine how much this cartridge will be once Revelation becomes inaccessible
@@commando7706 Hundreds and hundreds of dollars for sure
@@N_IRL maybe thousands, check out eBay ;-;
God I love emulators.
You know... in the fourth verse, when the chorus begins Azura comes in as a backup singer, listen closely at 7:50
I can hear it in the game
Still listening to this amazing and inspirational video game song in 2019! Anyone else?
MEEEEEEEE
Fell Vessel Robin: Respect! 👊
Nathan Byberg The Fell Dragon Grima accepts your respect.
Fell Vessel Robin: You are well versed in culture my friend! Thank you!
Nathan Byberg As there is nothing human about a Fell Dragon such as myself, culture like this is...interesting. I suppose the wings of despair and breath of ruin will have to take a break.
I hate that Fates’s story could’ve been made indefinitely better if we had to wait until about mid-game to resolve Corrin’s dragon-emphasized anger issues. There were a lot of other problems with it, but that change alone could’ve fixed a lot of things that were wrong with Corrin’s character in general, and maybe made things more deep.
I would’ve wanted that too, I want to be liked by people, but most would chose the female version anyways 😔
Can NOT get over the fact that's Matt Mercer...
Such a great song to listen to! So peaceful and calming! Great tune to listen to after a bad day. This song has helped me fight some pain I've gone through fairly recently, and it also given me some hope. This song touched the mind in so many ways, its that good!
Nathan Byberg SAME
bestway125: Respect dude! 👊✊
So I understand the singer of the final part of this song is a man named Shigure? From what I understand, depending on how it's spelt in Japanese, Shigure can mean, "autumn rain."
Dragonpit Shigure is azura's son
Dragonpit It also is Matthew Mercer, aka Chrom. And Ryoma.
Yeah the last part is from Heirs of Fate, a story alongside the main story where only the children of the main characters lived, and need to save the world. Shigure is Azura’s son and inherited her power of song, and thus sings Lost in Thoughts All Alone as well.
Also you taught me that Japanese word, 時雨, I’m learning Japanese so that’s very interesting to me. Azura and Shigure have a theme of water to their character, so that meaning makes sense.
The Firesword Dragon And Azama
HyperLuigi And he has the power akin to the ancient Vallite King I forgot his name (if you remember pls correct me) who was friends with Anankos before he was corrupted
This song is so soothing that it’s insane. I love it so much
Same here!
I’ve never played Fire Emblem Fates, but I love this song so much. It’s just so calming and pretty
You should play it fire emblem fates is the funniest game I have played.
@brendagordon1277 I don't think it was supposed to be funny, but some of the dialogue and timing are just downright hilarious.
I know I’m a little late to this song. But it just makes me cry nowadays. My ex used to sing it to me and she had such a beautiful voice.
Unfortunately, she broke up with me for reasons I can’t even tell any of you because I don’t even know myself. Guess I just weren’t good enough for her. Hope she’s happy wherever she is, at the very least I tried.
Why does the 3rd and 4th verse always strike a chord with me when I here it
It is supposed in the third verse azura sings this verse but then dies and in the fourth verse all of the parents are dead and the kids have to beat ananokos
Hi Cloud! How are you after all of this time?
Hearing them all together really ties all the stories together
I've owned Revelation for so long yet never heard the 3rd Verse... I've heard the first and second verses, and the 4th one a few times, but never the third...
Have to get to the final battle in Revelations in order to hear it. Hope that helps you!
Nathan Byberg
That explains it, I never pay attention to background music
@@seaunicorn.3.888: It's my pleasure to help! From one fellow FE Fates fan to another!
This song means a lot to me... it will always be remembered deep down in my soul and heart.
Thanks! Can I try combining both jp and English vids? I am teaching this to 4 of my choir friends for our concert.
You are more than welcome to, but I have to warn you that it doesn't sound right to me because the instrumental in both have a different timbre when it should be the same.
I have my ways of trying. I also have 'helpful' brothers that I can ask for help if needed. Either that, or I can lower some parts. It's kinda easy.
Good luck with the concert! :)
So how was the concert?
Yeah how was it?
Listening to this in November 2019, on the 2 year anniversary of my evil ex-girlfriend cheating on me. I can relate since I'm still single after 2 years, and at the moment I'm truly lost in thoughts and all alone irl. However, this song fills me with hope that one day I will find new love and the thorn in my heart will become a rose again someday! Someday, somewhere, someone will hear my cry! I will never give up on life! The most inspirational song ever! Any other listeners today besides me?
Nathan Byberg yes. This song is truly inspiring
~Kimiko_Playz~: Definitely. Respect to you! ✊👊
I don't remember when this was commented but someone said in reference to 3houses
Verse 1: golden deer
Verse 2: black eagles
Verse 3: blue lions
Verse 4: Byleth (to an extent)
And I havnt been able to stop thinking about it 😭
Especially verse 2 cus it fits all to well
I want this to be played at my funeral
No joke or anything, I was real.
What were you thinking? Lol
With my luck that would not happen to me even I did request it
In the white light, a hand reaches through
A double-edged blade cuts your heart in two
Waking dreams fade away,
Embrace the brand-new day........
Beautifully done!
Embrace the dark you call a home💙
Gaze upon an empty white throne💙
A legacy of lies💙
A familiar disguise...💙
A burdened heart sinks into the ground💙
A veil falls away without a sound💙
Not day nor night💙
Wrong nor right💙
For truth and peace you fight...💙
In endless dreams, countless realms collide💙
Hope falls only to rise like the changing tide💙
But all dreams come to an end💙
Just whispers on the waves...💙
Nathan Byberg aww thank you
Azura has a great singing voice.
Fates had its good moments, and personally this is one of those.
Azura for smash ultimate
She’s a legend spirit! That’s great enough.
She probably have her moveset mostly being spear and her water things final smash maybe she does her dance?
this song rearranged my intestines 10/10
what
This song is still amazing in July 2019! So inspirational! Any other listeners?
