    LYRICS:
    Fires Far Gavin Dunne 2014
    Fires far
    Journeys not remembered now
    Tired, scarred
    Kneel among the embers now
    Breathe life into this hollowed
    Vessel of rebirth
    Over and over be denied
    The peaceful earth...
    To light the fires far
    Ignite the fires far
    Sisters of solace singing
    Ignite the fires far
    The mourning bells are ringing
    Deep in the crumbling walls
    The souls of the cursed will fall
    Though kingdoms will fade, decay
    The ghosts of the past shall stay
    Locked away
    Ignite the fires far
    Sisters of solace singing
    Ignite the fires far
    The mourning bells are ringing
    Breathe life into this hollowed
    Vessel of rebirth
    Over and over be denied
    The peaceful earth
    To light the fires far

    I can imagine human kings hiring undead mercenaries. Imagine the fear factor of filling a man with arrows, stabbing and beating him, but he still gets up

      +Adam “Teddy” Navigato i mean, that's basically how all videogame enemies must feel when facing a player character. because even in a roguelike, you don't stay dead. you keep coming, again and again and again. undertale does a fantastic deconstruction of that with sans on the genocide route.

      Imagine being the Greatest gang of mercenaries, so famous that only kings or lords can hire you. Then one day, a group of nobles want you to kill just a man. You notice the fear in their voice just when they pronounce his name. You and your team track him down, find him and kill him, easy job. Then, when you turn around, you hear a body rising again.

    Dark souls is a very depressing game when you think about it. Youre trying to be a hero, death isn't the end for you, you just endure torture after torture only to redo everything.

      Honestly feel like ER gives off big DS2 vibes and has a lot of gameplay quirks that remind me of it. As a DS2 fan I'm pretty pleased with it and I'm not sure how many other people got that same impression all because of the "DS2 bad" reaction. After all, if DS2 bad and ER good, how could ER be like DS2??

    I love how in every song you make you capture the atmosphere. This for example, when I listen to this I get the same feeling I get when I play. A feeling of darkness and uncertainty, I know I'm going to die but I can't help but press on to see what happens next. The melody, that I've heard so many times but I never get sick of it.

    • @anonimen31

    games about not victory, or power, but about earning every bit of progress you make. death is not the end in these games, it is only the promise of more suffering... in the end, you are not fighting for the flame, or the world. you fight for your right to die, and finally be at peace.

      +The Name's Dust 
      Scholar of the First Sin (Name of the expansion, with all the dlc and tweaks (like new ennemies, changed drops, items relocated etc...)) contains the Crowns DLCs, adding new locations and ennemies but mostly Aldia, Scholar of the Sin who gives you the choice to leave the Throne Room if certain requirement are met, and to face him after Nashandra.
      Whilst Dark Arisen is a real expansion with a whole new place and story, Scholar of the First Sin is more of a definitive edition or GOTY of Dark Souls 2.

      Yeah, You Died is quite jokey & fun so I felt a stronger connection would not have worked. I figured subverting it at the end would be more fitting, as that soft, eerie section almost feels like the direct opposite of that song, despite having the same melody :)

      Sometimes I like to 'feel' the words when I sing them (I know that sounds a little bit pretentious but meh) and for me that line, well, I felt that the voice should sound 'tired' to go with the lyrics :)

    • @King_Of_Midgard
      @King_Of_Midgard 10 лет назад +20

      I dont think it's pretentious at all. It's a great thing you put emotion into your work. So many musicians these days will write a song and be feeling certain emotions when doing so, but will sing it like a goddamn chipmunk high off its ass. It pains me when what could be a good song is ruined by laziness on the part of the musician, which is a big part of why I like your work. You actually put work into it and give the songs that feeling of emotion and depth. If what you made was more mainstream I honestly think you could end up remembered as one of the greats; Like Sinatra, or Tenessee Ernie Ford, or Elvis Presley, all because you do put that extra mile in. So many people cannot stand the songs they liked a year or two ago, because it's not new, and they have realised its a bad song, yet people can listen to songs by the greats for years because its an actually good song, and it has the amount of effort put into it by people like you. Please, never get lazy with your work, and keep on making the music we all can listen to and love.

    This song is so impressive. So much atmosphere. I'm really no fan of any kind of metal, but the way you did it sounds so cool, dark, creepy.. just perfect. :D

    • @Darca1n
      @Darca1n 10 лет назад +8

      Personally I think most of the dark creepy tone comes from his use of bells in the song, church-bell size I think, and also a bit from the deep bass and organ, all three are things I absolutely love because of the epic feel they can give, can make you feel like a bbadass or feel like the place you are in is WAY out of your league to handle.

      I think the bells tie in with both the games, because the Bells of Awakening were rung in Dark Souls 1, and they create atmosphere.

    • @AGiantPie

      ***** In Dark Souls 1, everyone playing the game hears the bell ring when someone rings it in their own game.

      True! Which is why in the last month I've been hearing bells like crazy.

    I just noticed something: One of the bits of music with no lyrics was the same as a part of You Died with lyrics, except for lacking lyrics of course.

    You're an Undead cursed, chosen to rule a kindgom you can't even begin to fathom. You meet insane challenges, which you overcome, you take multiple arrows, fight dragons, trolls, legendary heroes... And that for what ? For you to be cursed again, until the next one comes.
