  • Elden Ring is steeped in hidden lore...and I love that FromSofware used music as one of those hiding places. From the Chanting Winged Dames, to the Godskin Apostles, the music and lyrics reveal stories and histories of the Lands Between and the characters who inhabit it. I like to believe they did the same with the Merchants' music. The Frenzied Flame Merchant's melody seems so haunting and a bit eerie when you first come upon it...almost like a lullaby for the dead the player is surrounded by. I listened to a few other composers' arrangements of this melody, and they were all beautiful and haunting and fitting with the scenery we find the Frenzied Merchants in. But when I sat down and harmonized what I thought the melody suggested, I was struck by how much brighter and happier the tune was! I'm usually all about writing dark, melodramatic music, but this melody had such a naturally happy feel to it I just went with it. I like to believe this is one of the few surviving melodies the Merchant's remember from the times before the Shattering...when they were a happy people, wandering the world and selling their wares and enjoying the company of friends and strangers alike. What do you think?

    You can actually feel the agony behind the music of how they were imprisoned by something they never did

      Definitely. Wish they hadn't scraped their side mission. Maybe we'll get some merchant love with the dlc.

    YOOOOO it's out! god i hate UA-cam search sometimes, makes it difficult to find stuff like this.
    edit: wow that ending gave me goosebumps the music was super loud which almost dwarfed the screaming but you can still hear it. as If they're playing as hard as they can to no avail.
    i came into this video expecting something atmospheric and calm like the other cover but this... this is *Powerful*. and honestly i kinda like it more, good job 👍.

      Thanks man! Sorry I forgot to let you know I posted it. Wasn't sure when I recorded it where it was going to go, but as I played it, it felt right to have it build like that at the end. Glad you liked it!
