When the bard is the only surviving member of the party, there is no Traveler’s Song for the path home. Just the lonely silence, walking these familiar roads... these Streets of Gold.
I almost feel a reply to that would be "My lone hero standing tall, moving through the pain and fall. the moon is rising as I strain my ears to hear your weakened call. You've a thousand more to roam. And when you feel lost and alone, never shake the feeling I'll arange the stars to lead you home."
On our broken road where is my guidence love of old. Weaken and weary I ve laid down in streets of gold path of stars left from the wars in this time. A hero is you when blue it rains for you.
The scary part about this song is how relatable it is. A song of misplaced hope in a world with a seemingly grim future; but misplaced hope is better than no hope. It's a bittersweet symphony, and it's my favourite track on the album for that reason.
Sometimes you give everything you have, fight as hard as you can, sacrifice everything, and still lose. Thats when the real heroes rise up, because after the fall, someone needs to pick up the shattered pieces and, in the quite darkness take a deep breath and start over again. No one talks about the heroes who take a fallen civilization by the hand and lead them in their first weary sorrowful steps out of the dark and into a new dawn. No great battles, no epic quests, just quite determination and a refusal to lay down and die.
I always thought this song was a song about friendship, or a loved one. That's what iv interpreted. And honestly this song describes how i feel about one of my best friends (no tragic ending, she just has this way of making me feel happy despite any previous bad mood iv been in
"Dirt washes away and stone wears. Iron rusts and silver tarnishes. Yet gold shines forever, so I shall build streets of gold across this barren continent that my lost friends might follow them back to me." - Paver Glintbeard, the warforged I just made up
This has become, in my mind, my Paladins theme song. By the end of the campaign two of his friends where dead and beyond resurrection. The apocalypse they had fought so hard to stop had happened, and the group's adoptive son and his young paladin apprentice were also probably dead. Left wandering a broken world, driven forwards by only a desire for vengeance and bleak duty, I imagine this as his theme song.
@Sol Theory He was by the end. He started out as a classic oath Paladin, but in the end, only vengeance made sense. He couldn't fix anything, couldn't win, couldn't make anything better. The only thing left to do was to make the people behind it all pay.
Streets of Gold is probably the underdog on this album, among all these songs based on popular IPs, but I also think it is one of the strongest on the album. The balance between depressing and hopeful, in combination with the Stargazers-era instrumentation already made it one of my favorites!
This is just so good. I can imagine how the traveler is feeling, after everything he's done, everything he's seen, every sad, happy moment that he has shared with his companions, friends, family, and everything that he protected now gone, he's all alone. It's just so sad and satisfying at the same time, knowing that the traveler did everything he could for his king and his family, that he succeeded in protecting them with all his might.
Originally this was the low-key song of the album, but listening to it more than once, I fell in love with it so quickly. The melody is super good, the lyrics are classic Avi romantic-ness (not necessarily in the love sense but y'know), and the sound is just mmmmm. Love it, love it, love it. Tenouttaten. Play it again.
Favourite song on the album! Really struck close to home about losing confidence and needing help. I dont want to talk about personal stuff or know how to put my thoughts into words but I love this song
This reminds me so much of a character I've been working with who loses everything after a series of mistakes. She starts to wonder if it's even worth continuing to try to fix things since she's the only one left. Thank you for this song!
Man, I love and hate this song. I can't think of it as my characters, because this always makes me feel like the protagonist is getting old. In reality, that's never been the case so far. I just love the damn song..
Got my introduction to the Aviators via Traveler's Song as a random recommendation here on RUclips. Loved it, started listening to some of their other stuff. Halfway through listening to this song for the first time, I realized just what the lyrics were saying, and it suddenly just hit much differently, much harder than it was before. Traveler's Song is still my absolute favorite song from the Aviators, but 'Streets of Gold' is an EXTREMELY close second. They're both amazing songs.
T J Im working on it as well, but not the entire story is based off this song specifically. It’s a fanfiction with certain arcs based on several of his songs!
_I've come a thousand miles alone_ _Passed every kingdom's empty throne_ _And I can't shake the feeling_ _You'll arrange the stars to lead me home_ Wonderful song~ ^^
Personally I love this part: _So please forgive the tears and whispers_ _If you are only in my head_ _Sometimes I want to think you're listening_ _When every other voice is dead_
Might be a strange thing to think of, but this song feels like a call for help. Maybe it might be good to remember that we don't have to be the singer, sometimes we can be the one that is there to carry another's burdens. We can be the one to be the Light for someone who has lost everything. After all, sometimes all we need is each other.
It seems too me two people separated that have been with eachother many life times. Now the end their golden time and trying to find eachother because their light together is what it takes to set the world up high
I think in a way it is meant to be a call for help. The description says there is no one left, only the traveller. I think any human as the last one left, no matter how immortal, would still need other people, and as a result plead and cry out to anyone or anything that might be listening, so as to not be alone, purposeless.
It's here! My favourite song from Let There Be Fire, this was my favourite from the moment it was played on the release stream. It's so emotional and it worked so well with the album. I hope you write more songs like this since it was an instant favourite.
I am old but I am new I see the past before this time I live once more ever time I die I come back more then a 3799 time the pain I have see y can I not die I will try to do good this run
are you planning on killing us? cause that was vaguely threatening. (this was a joke so if theres some rando just looking through the comment s calm down there buck-aroo)
Ah, I see you decided to write Ardbert a theme song. Well done. Jokes aside, musical bliss. Emotional, compelling, and cathartic, this track in particular juxtaposes so well with Traveler's Song, and is a masterpiece in its own right. Don't stop producing tracks, you're amazingly gifted, and you enrich every listener's life with your work. Thank you.
My cat died last night. He was more than my pet he was my best friend. He was loyal, friendly, and loving till the very end i can only hope that one day i can catch up to him on this lonely road.
Just recently in my own roleplay I introduced a new character know as the Warrior of the Laughing King. He was the last of his order, and left with nothing more to defend and no-one to entertain, he wanders the dark plains that were once so full of light and laughter. I just discovered this song, and the similarity between the character in the song and my own character struck me as astounding. Anyway, jut something I thought was cool.
I love this song so much. How hope is fading but still being clung onto in the darkest hour. Love listening when I feel low. Amazing job on this one, Aviators!
If it wernt for Paralyzed this song would easily be my top favorite! I remember falling in love with it the moment I first heard the piano at the beginning, and only being more overcome with amazement as the song continued. Everything about this song is absolutely perfect! I know I say that a lot, but its simply the truth! Thank you for this gorgeous work of art, Avi!
I might be the only one who feels this way, but this kinda feels like a cryout song to Jesus, for help. I am a Christian and I feel like a lot of your songs can be related to my belief, including Whenever it rains, Find Me, Eye of the Storm and Incadescent. I have Never felt the dept on a spiritual level from a ”non-worship musician” other than you. Great Job man, God Bless you!!
Aviators you and your music still continue to amaze me. The setting that music creates is beautifull and the lyrics paint a story I immideatly fell in love with. Please continue to do what you're doing, you're amazing!
I don't know if the song was meant to be so relatable, but for me, it hits personally. When I graduated highscool I felt invincible, confident and proud. After coming back and recovering from a difficult time in middleschool, discovering my passion as a writer and making lifelong friends that remain with me to this day, I was so sure the worst was behind me and the best was ahead of me. I went to college for a semester and a half and crumbled, a combination of academic failure, social difficulties and mental illnesses I didn't know I had. I came home a mess, barely able to function and having lost all confidence in myself. It's been years since then, and I still struggle with the issues that cropped up. My mental health has taken things from me, I've lost relationships, opportunities, and I've struggled to achieve the goals I've always had for myself. All too often, I feel alone and at the mercy of my own brain, and I feel like everything would be ok right now if I'd simply never gone to college. I'm only just regaining my confidence, and I want, I need, to believe that things can get better. I need to believe I'll get back everything that these past years have taken from me, that I can achieve what I want to. I don't want my high school years to be the prime of my life, and I don't want to believe that I'll never feel as happy as I did again. Again, I don't know why this song evokes those feelings in me, but it does. It reminds me of what I wish for.
I know it's been a year but I just want to say that I feel this on such a personal level. I'm going through the same thing right now. But there is a better future, and you'll be there for it. It may not mean much coming from me, but there are people who care about you. Keep strong
I see I left a like on this comment, probably around the time you posted it. After everything that has happened in those 2 years, I feel that comment much more than I ever could have back then.
”I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave. You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.” Psalms 16:7-11
This song makes me think of the Doctor after the Time War! It just really makes me think of him, with everything he's seen, everything he's done, and everyone he's lost. Especially Gallifrey, his home planet, which he had to destroy to stop a horrible war that spanned all of time and space.
This song is one of the few capable of bringing tears to my eyes and I'm not a sensitive or person who shows much emotion. The song emanates so much of my own pain and struggles along with my hope for the future. A hope that one day no one will have to endure the pain and suffering of strife and war again. My dream is a flourishing humanity without division or wars of hate.
This song is so gorgeous. Definitely a favorite of mine, and it fits in so well with the rest of the songs on Let There Be Fire. Super excited for what's to come.
This song is literally perfect for a story I'm writing. It's a knight who rebels from his King, fights the King and his armies, and wins against all odds, only to wonder what he was fighting for the whole time, because everything he had done was rooted in love for his King and desire for recognition from him, not a desire to rule. I dunno, the song just feels perfect. Thank you, the song is beautiful either way!
I agree would add now he looks for his twin flame and hopes somehow be it stars or road or destiny to lead him to her for they been with each other through all theirlifetimes and never had a chance to meet and fall😉
Whoah... For some reason, I ignored this song when it was released. Listening to it again, I might just add it to my favorite songs playlists. It's so emotional... wow
When one walk a path of redemption full of hope to turn the page just to loose it all Wandering the path they used to walk with companions, lover and friends Reminiscing the time they thought they could overcome it all Over and over to ease the pain until the road finaly ends -Tragic ending of one of my headstories if all but one trying to change dies where the grief caused by the loss make him shut himself out from the outside waiting to be finaly reunited with those he lost and those who saved him before Thats what I love about this kind of music, its both a story and a muse to make one yourself
100%. I can almost picture him looking back on Anor Londo as he walks away, sighing. But. Why should he stay? All his comrades, Gough, Artorias, And Cairan are gone, his master is a burned hollow guarding a fading flame, and now, he, the golden lion is assigned to protect a lie. Sometimes even the most loyal must move on.
@@saifallahghidhaoui1853 My deduction is he left a little piece of his soul behind (lore shows flame souls can be split into smaller pieces) for Gwyndolin to create a functional illusion that could keep him safe while Ornstein was away trying to find NK, so he could convince him to return to Anor Londo now that his father has sacrificed himself to the First Flame. Whether it is was done so in [slim] hopes NK could've restored order to their crumbling kingdom or just because he had the chance to come back home, it could go both ways.
can't help it, this is the perfect Elden Ring song :) I just stumbled over it and I just can't believe how amazing the song fits even though it existed before the game
This is so beautifully sad. It reminds me of when everyone but the bard and my character survived the campaign. The King and Queen held a feast and it was a hollow victory.
Such a beautiful, emotional song. It hits particularly hard for me because it reminds me a lot of something else I'm really fond of. That aside, it really is just a great song with awesome lyrics, as expected from you. I kinda wanna hear a slower acoustic version, though. If you're gonna make one, i have a feeling bagpipes and a tin whistle would make a great edition to the instrumentation for some reason
Dude, seriously, how. There's the meaning of life hidden in this song. It's just there. How do you do it. How can you turn music into magic. That's just how it must be I suppose. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
I fell in love with this song. So much so, that I wrote an answer to it. Please excuse any linguistic mistakes, English is not my native language. Here's the lyrics I created: You see the golden years behind us But still your future path bears light You were the beacon that inspired Don’t lose your inspiration’s might Together we fought countless battles Dear, keep these mem’ries in your heart Don’t let our victories grow distant Although fate’s driven us apart You cannot feel my hands to lift you Still I keep holding onto tight My spirit guides you through the fire My soul will never leave your side I will arrange the stars to lead you To walk you through these streets of gold I want the story of your brav’ry not to be lost and stay untold You’ve made mistakes but still you’re standing Don’t lose your confidence, dear friend You’re not alone, my spirit guides you And I will stay here till the end I hear your whispers when the night falls I see the thousand tears you shed And I will never stop to listen Though every other voice is dead You cannot feel my hands to lift you Still I keep holding onto tight My spirit guides you through the fire My soul will never leave your side I will arrange the stars to lead you To walk you through these streets of gold I want the story of your brav’ry not to be lost and stay untold Don’t lose your purpose out of sight Don’t fear the fading of the light The sun has set but now a thousand stars are brightening the night Know, dusk will never bring demise Another morning soon will rise I wanna see the spark of daylight to return back to your eyes You cannot feel my hands to lift you Still I keep holding onto tight My spirit guides you through the fire My soul will never leave your side I will arrange the stars to lead you To walk you through these streets of gold I want the story of your brav’ry not to be lost and stay untold
my first dnd character of 2 years fell in love with a half elf near the binging of the campaign. our goal was to seal away the KING IN YELLOW he was a great old one who was going to plunge the world into darkness. as the campaign went on the love between the 2 characters grew as they won battels lost party members, but in order to seal away the king in yellow our party needed an elder sign. what we didn't know was that in order to create and elder sign there needed to be a sacrifice and the half elf my wife needed to sacrifice herself in full, nothing would be left behind no afterlife. so she did she became the one thing we needed to seal him away. after we sealed away the king in yellow the party disbanded.... and my character was left alone to continue fighting... this song makes me think that in his old age he makes his journey back to where his wifes grave is thinking about all the good times and bad, knowing he will never see her again even in death and at the end of the song he takes his last breath next to her tome stone.
When the bard is the only surviving member of the party, there is no Traveler’s Song for the path home. Just the lonely silence, walking these familiar roads... these Streets of Gold.
This is actually good material for an NPC, mind if i steal that?

This feels like it could describe someone's real life.
It makes me cry sometimes, it's so relatable.
Ok, man, you're making it really hard to pick favorites
What a fantastically relatable song! Definitely one of my personal favorites from Aviators. Keep up the great work!
This song makes me think of the Doctor after the Time War! It just really makes me think of him, with everything he's seen, everything he's done, and everyone he's lost. Especially Gallifrey, his home planet, which he had to destroy to stop a horrible war that spanned all of time and space.
Doctor paradox?
@@alcrast6351 Who? I'm talking about The Doctor, from Doctor Who seasons 1-6 of New Who
You are one of the best musicians this decade.
This is my favorite non-tribute song on the album. So lovely and mournful and hopeful in every way....
This never fails to give me goosebumps. I swear all of your music does this to me! Man, keep up the good work dude!!
This song is one of the few capable of bringing tears to my eyes and I'm not a sensitive or person who shows much emotion. The song emanates so much of my own pain and struggles along with my hope for the future. A hope that one day no one will have to endure the pain and suffering of strife and war again. My dream is a flourishing humanity without division or wars of hate.
This song reminds me so much of a character from my DnD campaign, it's spot-on correct
Same here! Reminds me of my current one (as of me posting this).
I lost my best friend recently.
your music is really helping me through
Man, all of these songs make me think about Solaire. Whether that was the intent or not, good stuff. Keep it up!
This song is so gorgeous. Definitely a favorite of mine, and it fits in so well with the rest of the songs on Let There Be Fire. Super excited for what's to come.
Man, your voice is always so great and on point. Glad to see you are still making amazing music to this day!
This song really is beautiful
Good work Aviators, been with you since 'Open Your Eyes'
This song is literally perfect for a story I'm writing. It's a knight who rebels from his King, fights the King and his armies, and wins against all odds, only to wonder what he was fighting for the whole time, because everything he had done was rooted in love for his King and desire for recognition from him, not a desire to rule. I dunno, the song just feels perfect. Thank you, the song is beautiful either way!
I agree would add now he looks for his twin flame and hopes somehow be it stars or road or destiny to lead him to her for they been with each other through all theirlifetimes and never had a chance to meet and fall😉
This is definitely one of my favorite tracks off of every album that you’ve put out!
Whoah... For some reason, I ignored this song when it was released. Listening to it again, I might just add it to my favorite songs playlists. It's so emotional... wow
When one walk a path of redemption full of hope to turn the page just to loose it all
Wandering the path they used to walk with companions, lover and friends
Reminiscing the time they thought they could overcome it all
Over and over to ease the pain until the road finaly ends
-Tragic ending of one of my headstories if all but one trying to change dies where the grief caused by the loss make him shut himself out from the outside waiting to be finaly reunited with those he lost and those who saved him before
Thats what I love about this kind of music, its both a story and a muse to make one yourself
This music is to underrated, it deserves more
How dare you give me all those feels 🥺?? What a master piece!
Inspiring, fills me with courage when im out on fieldcraft! Thanks for the Feeling!
Just finished Dark Souls 3. Maybe its only me, but this could well be Ornstein's thoughts as he seeks his old master?
my thoughts exactly!
100%. I can almost picture him looking back on Anor Londo as he walks away, sighing. But. Why should he stay? All his comrades, Gough, Artorias, And Cairan are gone, his master is a burned hollow guarding a fading flame, and now, he, the golden lion is assigned to protect a lie. Sometimes even the most loyal must move on.
@@Abysswalker8220 Gwyndolin lives still . Why leave him to the mercy of traitors and disease ?
The city in the vid does look like Anor Londo, especially the castle.
@@saifallahghidhaoui1853 My deduction is he left a little piece of his soul behind (lore shows flame souls can be split into smaller pieces) for Gwyndolin to create a functional illusion that could keep him safe while Ornstein was away trying to find NK, so he could convince him to return to Anor Londo now that his father has sacrificed himself to the First Flame. Whether it is was done so in [slim] hopes NK could've restored order to their crumbling kingdom or just because he had the chance to come back home, it could go both ways.
can't help it, this is the perfect Elden Ring song :) I just stumbled over it and I just can't believe how amazing the song fits even though it existed before the game
Absolutely phenomenal! Epic work as usual man!
Your music give me the chills by every single note coming together.
This song is well... gold. It helped get through some nasty stuff so yeah. Thanks Aviators I love your work.
I don’t know why but listening to this this time struck a cord in me and brought tears to me when I listed to it before and it had no effect
Dude you just kill it with every song. This sounds amazing!
best albums comes with best songs it's fair
thank you aviators for the emotionals in your songs
thank you for everything
thank you
I'm just discovering this band and I love this music already
This is so beautifully sad. It reminds me of when everyone but the bard and my character survived the campaign. The King and Queen held a feast and it was a hollow victory.
Wow.... I just loved this song... The art depiction is also just perfect
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard.
Such a beautiful, emotional song. It hits particularly hard for me because it reminds me a lot of something else I'm really fond of. That aside, it really is just a great song with awesome lyrics, as expected from you.
I kinda wanna hear a slower acoustic version, though. If you're gonna make one, i have a feeling bagpipes and a tin whistle would make a great edition to the instrumentation for some reason
👌
This has to happen.
Oh MY GOD! This is SO AMAZING! Never stop mading those Golden music ❤️
This song brings a nostalgic feel of Avi's sound back in GITC, BBW, etc. That's why this is my favourite song from LTBF UwU
@Mobius Music Studio ohai Skycatboi UwU
I'm getting Stargazers vibes from it. Like a fusion of Welcome to Paradise, Wolves and Meet You At The End.
Dude, seriously, how. There's the meaning of life hidden in this song. It's just there. How do you do it. How can you turn music into magic.
That's just how it must be I suppose.
Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
Ngl, this has always been my favorite song.
And I think it was the second of Aviators' songs I ever heard.
How have I never heard this song before? Its absolutely beautiful!
When i listen to your songs i fill like im wallking on the golden streets of youtube
A song that’s perfectly reminiscent of your Stargazer days. keep it up!
Beautiful, love your works Aviators !! Thanks for your job !
I am sorry for your loss. You are not alone.
this is truly a beautiful song, i m already a fan
I love how the towers in the distance resemble Anor Londo
I always drink some Bourbon with honey when I listen to this. Whenever I have some wild turkey, I think of this.
Don t forget cinnamon for spice
Congrats on 200K, Avi
:)
Praise the Aviators!! \o/
This is beautiful, God bless 👍👏🏼 you have an amazing talent
Holy crap I read the description and I almost cried.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
This song makes me cry
How about you?
Epicface11 Particularly if you listen to it right after Traveler’s Song.
@@chrisschoenthaler5184 Exactly what I did. I don't know if it was a mistake or just perfect ;w;
Roses are read
Violets are blue
u got me
and fvck you
@@chrisschoenthaler5184 Yes this fact is true
I fought back the tears. No tears need be shed for a warrior who fought for all he was worth; tears are insufficient
I'm crying
The most underrated song ever, I love it
This is set one of the greatest songs I heard you can lesson to this for any occasion.
Still can't make it to the end without falling apart.... My 💜
The music you make is my kind of music. These songs satiate my sorrow.
What a lovely song.
I cried when I listened to this and this song just *_gets me in the FEELS!_*
I fell in love with this song. So much so, that I wrote an answer to it. Please excuse any linguistic mistakes, English is not my native language.
Here's the lyrics I created:
You see the golden years behind us
But still your future path bears light
You were the beacon that inspired
Don’t lose your inspiration’s might
Together we fought countless battles
Dear, keep these mem’ries in your heart
Don’t let our victories grow distant
Although fate’s driven us apart
You cannot feel my hands to lift you
Still I keep holding onto tight
My spirit guides you through the fire
My soul will never leave your side
I will arrange the stars to lead you
To walk you through these streets of gold
I want the story of your brav’ry
not to be lost and stay untold
You’ve made mistakes but still you’re standing
Don’t lose your confidence, dear friend
You’re not alone, my spirit guides you
And I will stay here till the end
I hear your whispers when the night falls
I see the thousand tears you shed
And I will never stop to listen
Though every other voice is dead
You cannot feel my hands to lift you
Still I keep holding onto tight
My spirit guides you through the fire
My soul will never leave your side
I will arrange the stars to lead you
To walk you through these streets of gold
I want the story of your brav’ry
not to be lost and stay untold
Don’t lose your purpose out of sight
Don’t fear the fading of the light
The sun has set but now a thousand stars are brightening the night
Know, dusk will never bring demise
Another morning soon will rise
I wanna see the spark of daylight to return back to your eyes
You cannot feel my hands to lift you
Still I keep holding onto tight
My spirit guides you through the fire
My soul will never leave your side
I will arrange the stars to lead you
To walk you through these streets of gold
I want the story of your brav’ry
not to be lost and stay untold
my first dnd character of 2 years fell in love with a half elf near the binging of the campaign. our goal was to seal away the KING IN YELLOW he was a great old one who was going to plunge the world into darkness. as the campaign went on the love between the 2 characters grew as they won battels lost party members, but in order to seal away the king in yellow our party needed an elder sign. what we didn't know was that in order to create and elder sign there needed to be a sacrifice and the half elf my wife needed to sacrifice herself in full, nothing would be left behind no afterlife. so she did she became the one thing we needed to seal him away. after we sealed away the king in yellow the party disbanded.... and my character was left alone to continue fighting... this song makes me think that in his old age he makes his journey back to where his wifes grave is thinking about all the good times and bad, knowing he will never see her again even in death and at the end of the song he takes his last breath next to her tome stone.
that's actually really sad
