I now have an extended 10-hour version of this video after reading a few comments that desired one ✨ Enjoy the musical comfort here: ua-cam.com/video/SQj0kT_X6D4/v-deo.html I'm glad to see the recent activity on this video inviting and fostering support. We are all living intricate and complex stories and it's easy to forget that, when simplified to our primal nature, we merely wish to survive as a minimal objective. However, humanity's potential would be wasted if we do not also live while we survive, but life happens and the joys of living are often obfuscated along our travels. From video games to churches, we all seek our personal sanctuaries, and I'm glad to see more vulnerability being communicated in healthy ways rather than suppressed and resurfaced as needless animosity. The world is slow to change only when we are, for we are as much a part of the world as the world takes a part in us. Smile during the good days, rest during the challenging ones, and breathe during all of them.
✋😔👌 👏😣 Beautifully stated. Miyazaki himself once said that the driving concept behind the soulsborne series is "beauty surrounded by darkness." That's what your statement is. A beacon of beautiful light, in a sea of ever-encroaching darkness. Thank you. (bow gesture)
@@zombiepoptartio I've seen a few people asking for this. I'll begin working on it, though the video will have to be a still image lest it's a huge file size lol but at that point, most have it playing in the background anyway.
If you read this, who came here to rest with us all the tired wanderers of Life at the Bonfire, just know that your fight is a good fight, and you will win. The light will shine again, everything will be all right.
Never ceases to amaze me that out of every game I've played in my 23, almost 24 years of life that this, the music, everything can calm me down and give me peace unlike anywhere else in any game can. It's like when I walk into my room or living room after a rough day at work, I just feel at peace, comfortable, calm, content, e.t.c.
I noticed what makes part of dark souls immersive The audio quality they take it seriously The soundtracks are in itself a real orchestra masterpiece that was used in ds games The voice actors are from another planet they give life to the character The sorrounding sound like foot steps and wind blowing are clear and close That what makes it special They wanted to you to experience being: The chosen undead The bearer of the curse The ashen one And dark souls are more impactful than elden ring because of the dark and desperate environment In which it pushes you to finish the game in such grim situation that in itself build your real character (you)
elden ring was good and all, but it could never make me feel as emotional as dark souls does. dark souls taught me that whether the goal is meaningless or not, whether there is hope or hopelessness, there are still the others that you meet along the way and who will be there for you. even though almost all of the characters in the game canonically die or go hollow, all that matters is that you were there for them, at least once, and that they were there for you too.
The atmosphere in DS is unique. I only started playing these games in 2019 yet the music made me feel like I've been there a lot longer. The mechanics and gameplay of ER remain my favorite among the FromSoft franchise, but only DS can have me sit quietly at a bonfire and drift into another dimension of thought. It's very meditative.
I remember giving Dark Souls a shot in 2020 when I caught Covid. As hard as the game was, it was oddly comforting since it distracted me from being sick. I fell asleep multiple times at Firelink too. Looking back on it in 2024, this song will always have a place in my heart for that sense of comfort I felt back then while being miserably sick. That’s why DS1 is my favorite Souls game.
DS3 has better qualities as a GAME. It may even be a better game, but nothing will move DS1 from the #1 on my list, its my favourite, it just makes you feel something the other games cant, this is miyazakis masterpiece and a great one at that
@@1aquanyeah no other souls game comes close to that level of pure joy of exploration. elden ring is the worst for it imo. sekiro has great combat but no other game will ever live up to that perfect atmosphere of DS1
Ahh rest now hollow one your battles may not be over yet but peace you can enjoy if you seek it like warmth from this fire in the cold wretched world we walk
There are many emotions tied to the shrine. This is the place I get back to after slaying a boss. This is also the place where I meet my friends. And it is the place where I mourn my losses. Many people come and go but some never return
This is very moving. I wasn't expecting that. Then I read your poem. Bravo sir. You've cultivated something dark, yet warm. Desperate, yet hopeful. I'm 59 and this has affected me. There are many good people out there. It's effortless for those. That's why good will always triumph. I'm late to the party but thank you for this.
Thank you for your lovely comment, it's appreciated! It's important that we can all find comfort and sanctuary somewhere, and DS atmosphere has that unique energy of "There's dangers around me but this spot in particular is safe, so I am safe."
Isn't this all one needs in a dark world? A bone fire, a place of rest, that reminds one of his humanity. Be mindful, to never forget your light, because that is who you are. Good luck, for nothing is granted in this life. I hope to see you again. Stay strong, knight.
Hallelujah to the Lord my God, for healing my heart during a heart attack! On March 26th 2022, just past midnight, I was laying restless in bed, and I had a heart attack. My arms and legs became tingly and numb, then my chest got tighter, and then my heart felt like it was being crushed. So I sang out to God and Jesus, about my pain, my feelings, my faults and my inabilities. As I sang, I began to feel like a river, and a hand was on my back, it's fingers where skimming the surface, separating the waters, causing ripples through my body. Then the hand reached inside my chest, lit my heart on fire, and the heat moved like waves through my body. When I was done singing, all the pain was gone, and I looked at the clock, it was past 1am, I had been singing near an hour. Then the voice of my guardian angel called my name from above, and there was a hymn of energy in the air, the same hymn I hear in my dreams of God. Hallelujah to the Lord my God for healing my heart! Hallelujah for His son Jesus for saving my soul! Hallelujah for every day! Hallelujah for every breath! The Lord is Faithful and true! May the Lord Bless your hearts!
I adore how these songs, settings and other ambient energies can inspire vulnerability and truth in many of us. A lovely theme and experience to share with us, thank you 🙏🏻
I once met a Sorceress on an old bridge. She helped me defeat a really tough enemy but when I tried to help her I dripped into a pit and lost her. I am sorry Marceline
Thank you for the lovely poem and the soothing Bonfire. So far yours is the best I've found (granted it didn't take long but now I don't have to keep looking) with the perfect ambiance, thank you so much.
Sometime when im getting burned out, i return to this video, watching it aimlessly waitting for the little bonfire inside of me to burn bright like it used to, i want to save everyone, i have to save everyone but im breaking apart, im hollowing, i want to die , but still that little bonfire burn bright eventually and then the cycle continue, until i finish my duty the little flame will alway be there, depressing but consistently like it always will be.
Ah, my back doth ache most grievously; I shall repose here but a brief while, for my journey, is yet long and fraught with toil. I may not rest, while this breath doth fill my lungs, while mine eyes still discern the world, my mind continues to ponder, and my heart remains steadfast in its resolve. Abandonment is no choice. Ha! Verily, many a soul doth depart this world ere they attain threescore and five years. Pray, let not thy fate befall such misfortune. Rest while thou art able and cherish thy moments of respite.
I love the poem you’ve made it’s very soothing to be in firelink shrine to rest and just take in your thoughts and consider your options while resting and discover why you’re the only being to either link the fire or let it fade
It's a very meditative piece that's perfect for letting our thoughts surface, acknowledging them, and then letting them drift off as we reflect on them. Music is a speechless therapist 🎶
I see behind that other wordly helm, some unfamiliar hope and smile, beside the bonfire, phantoms of warped time and space, I sit alone, dreaming of a place that is flush with rays of gold.
Even though we may go hollow. It’s the dark sign that actually shows us the light. Humanity may be broken, but we as individuals have a choice. We can always choose to be more. That’s what’s it means to be undead. We refuse to die..
The remastered bonfire summarizes the remaster. Compare it with original bonfire. Remastered bonfire is just a normal fire. Nothing special about it. Looks like it burns if you touch it. Look at the original bonfire. It's not too bright, more orange than yellow in color. It's more liquid. It's fire tamed by Gwyn. Not only you can touch it, you can drink it. There's a sword, there are bones and there's a fire. They fought for it, they died and fed it with their bones, and they tamed it.
I can't explain this feeling of having this music playing, while seeing the demon prince's arena,is this really what it haves come up to? The place, where i have been always coming back, in ds1, is now merely alive, theres the well, snd lots if structures that have been crumbling through the years, its the end of the world. Merely seeing the bones reminds me of the hundres of deaths i had, and the others, thousands of people, that have seen this place comforting, now have to see it set ln fkre, crumbling till the last, with only the most iconic parts remaining, all thr afventures, "no wonder they call this a dreg heap at the end of the world", lapp, which is patches can help you in the battle, it just also gives me more feelings for it, i love the vibe, but it hurts seeing this place destroyed...
This particular Firelink shrine is special to me, I like ds3, I love Majula and Nexus, but I prefer to come back here as my comfortable place. I know DS1 like my own city and I always came here when I was feeling melancholy
I now have an extended 10-hour version of this video after reading a few comments that desired one ✨

You can see many people come and go but with my first arrival, I decided that this was the place I will always come back to.
Just stopping by to rest.

That what makes it special
They wanted to you to experience being:
The chosen undead
The bearer of the curse
The ashen one
And dark souls are more impactful than elden ring because of the dark and desperate environment
In which it pushes you to finish the game in such grim situation that in itself build your real character (you)

Thats a good idea, I should try that too.

Out of the hell that is dark souls, this place is home. The only place that is truly safe.

In Lordran, times are convoluted
I wish everyone here to stay fit and healthy and remember jolly cooperation is always around just don’t you dare go hollow
I come here when I feel like going hollow.
Be careful out there, wouldn't want to see you go hollow.
@@albremcortuzer4168 You, too. Be safe, friend.
I now play this while thinking about stuff; the rustle of the bonfire surely adds to the atmosphere. Thank you. Also, great poem!
This is the place where I rest. Only me contemplating with my thoughts, and the kindling of the seemingly everlasting flame.
Just want to say i’m happy to be here with everyone else
Самое теплое место для меня с 2013 года. Спасибо, Миядзяки.
Yeah comfy cosy by the fire link shrine
Please make a much longer version
Yeppers, just made one

pour on out for the crestfallen warrior
The music itself brings that sensation.
Its beatiful, sad, gloomy and mystical, all that DS Games are.
Thank you, you, strange bard from internet
May the flame guide thee, come rest for a while.. and don't forget there's always jolly cooperation whenever you need to
Rest... Take all the time you need...

Hallelujah to the Lord my God,
for healing my heart during a heart attack!
On March 26th 2022,
just past midnight,
I was laying restless in bed,
and I had a heart attack.
My arms and legs became tingly and numb,
then my chest got tighter,
and then my heart felt like it was being crushed.
So I sang out to God and Jesus,
about my pain, my feelings,
my faults and my inabilities.
As I sang, I began to feel like a river,
and a hand was on my back,
it's fingers where skimming the surface,
separating the waters,
causing ripples through my body.
Then the hand reached inside my chest,
lit my heart on fire,
and the heat moved like waves through my body.
When I was done singing,
all the pain was gone,
and I looked at the clock,
it was past 1am,
I had been singing near an hour.
Then the voice of my guardian angel called my name from above,
and there was a hymn of energy in the air,
the same hymn I hear in my dreams of God.
Hallelujah to the Lord my God for healing my heart!
Hallelujah for His son Jesus for saving my soul!
Hallelujah for every day!
Hallelujah for every breath!
The Lord is Faithful and true!
May the Lord Bless your hearts!

Honestly, Majula’s theme is great and all but it gets old after a while. The same can’t be said about this one.
This remix goes hard.
