What makes you decide to release remasters? Is it when you need a break from having to create new songs every time and are starting to feel burned out? Is it when you're listening to your old music and something catches your ear and you can't shake it? Or do you have a list of ones you want to update that you're working your way through over time? And how do you choose which songs to do? So many of your original versions sound so perfect to me already, but I'm sure an exceptional musician like yourself spots all sorts of things in tracks after they release that you'd love to tweak.
@@werewolfjedi38 It could be anything.... a vocal being too quiet in a section, a snare drum having too much low-mid thump, a guitar having too much fizz, a kick drum not having enough clarity in its midrange etc etc etc...
I'm surprised Gav's never done a song on Gael, now that I think about it. It's got such a perfect premise too, Ringed City being the masterpiece that it is.
I remember the "controversy" when this song first released, I always thought it was stupid and this has always been one of your finest works to me, I am truly glad to see it remastered, It sounds absolutely phenomenal and i hope more of your old works will get the same treatment someday!
@@sevencakes7125 People were complaining about the song's "tone" and how it "didn't fit" dark souls, I think Forever Flame was made as a response to those critiques (An amazing song in it's own right, But i liked Fires Fade more), I could be totally wrong and maybe both songs were in the works before the dumb comments came in, It has been a very long time since it came out
@mimavolo9606 Mima, funky Touhou character, please enlighten us on the backgrounds of said controversy. Some of us didn't even know that there's been one to begin with.
@@williamshakespeare9424 when this song was first released people were complaining about the tone and how it "didn't fit dark souls" and in response i believe the song Forever Flame was made as a kind of compromise for those people, I could be completely wrong about that 2nd part though, It's just what i remember at the time
One of my all times faves. The subtle transition from talking about the dangers if the fire should dim, to it becoming a question on if we should let the fire dim... So great
This has always been one of my favorite parts of this song and I'm glad I'm not the only one hearing it like that. "Should the fires fade? Should the cinders dim?" It starts out like the singer's terrified of the very concept, but as it repeats it starts to sound like a genuine question.
@tyrongkojy true, but then you have to consider DS3's End of Fire. You aren't letting it fade slowly, but rather snuffing out the dying embers all at once.
@@tyrongkojy We see what happens if we allow it to continue, its the rotting of the world. It's a world that struggles & misery eventually comes, the age of dark is an age of humanity. It's something we don't exactly what will come, but it's a choice where this cycle we live in finally ends, where something new can come about.
Your fan songs of Dark Souls are the partial reason the series is so special to me personally. You always capture my facination with this bleak dark fantasy world. Love the remaster, especially as a little excuse for me to relisten to it on loop ^×^ Rock on Gav
Yes, indeed. It is called Lothric, where the transitory lands of the Lords of Cinder converge. In venturing north, the pilgrims discover the truth of the old words: "The fire fades and the lords go without thrones."
We this is a nice surprise this morning! This is the earliest I have watched a new Miracle of Sound song, only 41 minutes after it came out. I am glad that Miracle of Sound is still doing well after being around for over 12 years. I remember the first few songs I listened to back in 2013 were: Gordon Freeman Saved my Life, No One is better than Commander Shepard and original version of Take Earth 🌎 Back. 😊
Miracle of Sound is still around, doing well, and with the upcoming tour I'd argue better than ever. I'm wildly hyped to see what venues he's going to other than the one announced. And honestly, if it comes down to that's the only venue he's performing at, I might just have to snag a flight up to Ireland to take a little vacation and a concert.
I discovered Miracle of Sound late… during lockdown. “Fires Fade” was one of the first songs that sent me down the rabbit hole of VGM (I’m not a gamer) and I haven’t popped up for air yet.
The way lighting changes in the final scene to sync up with the piano strokes is an amazing touch. Song is still fantastic after all these years and the addition of footage from DS1 and 2 makes the video even better for me (the atmosphere of that DS2 announcement trailer will forever be top tier)
Who else wants a Mega-collab of those? I personally would add Charismatic Voice, but I understand that it would be difficult to properly contain the grace of their voices in the one song.
I found this song years ago, I appreciated it while the video made me curious about dark souls 3, at the time I was gifted a PS4 so I decided to buy the game and give it a try. I ended up playing the whole trilogy and all the other Fromsoftware games too, dark souls had a huge impact on me and my taste about fiction in general... So thank you for creating this song ❤
Me : Casually listening to everything MoS made since 2011, spending my days chillin' MoS : Hey guys, here's what you have loved for all these years, remastered, cheers Me: 😴🥱😐🤨 😱 🤯🤩🤤 ... We don't deserve you gav., you are a blessing and have been my favorite artist for the past 15 years (PS: Sweet L.A. 2024 is absolutely dashing)
I'm so happy for the remaster, this is one of my favourite songs! I've listened the original many many times, but it's been some time. Now I have a reason to listen more!
This has been one of my favorite songs by you for so long, I just happened to look it up only for this to show! I am in love with how it turned out, I never knew I needed a remaster of it until now
all of your soulslike songs slap so hard gav, but this one just hits my soul differently, definitely one of my top favourite songs you've ever done and am so happy this one got a remaster! Well done and I look forward to your future projects!
One of many songs which make me wish I'd found your music years ago. You know the artists whose music you'll just have on loop for eight hours? You. You're one of those.
Yessss, one of my favourite MoS pieces. I listen to the original one so often! Dark Souls 3 Is my favourite FromSoft game, and Fires Fade really captures everything about it so perfectly in the classic MoS style. Fantastic vocals by Sharm too. Excellent work on the remaster, Gav - a real joy to listen to!
Fantastic remaster of a fantastic original song! To paraphrase a comment I made on the original, I absolutely love the repeated lyric of "Should the fires fade, should the cinders dim". It can be read as either a warning (Should the fires fade, the world is doomed) or as a genuine question (Should the fires fade?). Its super clever, as these two readings apply to each side of DS3's main conflict/question of if the Age of Fire should be prolonged once again (Side note, but I still have absolutely no clue what some people were thinking when they said this song "didn't fit the tone of Dark Souls". It's like the only thing they took away from the series was that things are bad, whilst completely ignoring how each of the games follow a random, unremarkable person who endures defeat after defeat, yet never gives up and eventually changes the fate of the entire world)
By the gods Gavin your ability to capture the vibe of any game or movie and still put your unique twist on it with an original song is always stunning to me! I know you don't do requests you only do songs about things you're passionate about, but I gotta say I'd love to see how you'd tackle couple of my favourite games. Dead By Daylight, and Sea of Thieves. If either of those ever happen, I will have a fanboy freakout for sure.
Really appreciate you including source game in the video title, sometimes I hear songs on Spotify and havent the faintest idea what media if any they were from. Love your stuff as always, and your appreciation for the true beauty and nature of music
I never thought I’d see the day… I think this was the first song of yours I ever listened to. And the fact that you made it even BETTER??? Amazing. Absolutely fantastic and beautiful job. Have a great day!!!!!
Absolutely love this. I don't remember what my 1st song on this channel was but this was definately in the 1st 5. I'm so glad to see this getting a remaster.
So many lovely songs in Remasters. After I got into Dark Souls all those years ago, I immediately binged all your FromSoftware music. And since then, I’ve been in love with the games, and got to appreciate enough music to basically make its own album just from you. Amazing work as always, Gav!
I love your music, it has driven me for may years through hard times and I hope to hear many many more songs like this glorious piece from you for years to come.
This is one of my favorite songs of yours and this remaster is phenomenal. I still can't believe that you feel you can't sing (referring to the interview with Peter Barber). Your musical talent, both in singing and creating melodies, is out of this world.
Oh hell yeah. We remember watching this when it cam out, and we are still hyped for watching it again. Such good music. Just...Continue doing what you're doing MoC it's awesome!
It's difficult to describe this feeling. I remember when this song was first released and it's actually what got me into the Souls games. A beautifully executed remaster wonderful work as always.
Still one of your best soulsborne songs, instant hit of nostalgia, so very happy to see it and equally hopeful that some of the others get their time in the spotlight again.
One of my favorite older songs from you and this just made it even better Absolutely incredible job, this will make a fine addition to my collection :)

Possibly my favorite collaboration he's done. Definitely top three.
You knocked it out of the park on this one!
Ironic, given the source material, but yes!

hand it over! that thing... another masterpiece of yours!
for my MoS playlist...
Even after several years, I immediately heard Gael when I read this
I beg of you... show her song... you are a musician, are you not? Is it not song that you seek?

Brings me back to my summer job in 2016, before the university, before the war. Good memories. Thanks pal.
Can relate. I was also a student, when it first came out. Had it on repeat for days. Still one of the favourites of all time.
One of my all times faves.
The subtle transition from talking about the dangers if the fire should dim, to it becoming a question on if we should let the fire dim... So great
Thing is we see what happens if we do. Mutants and the literal rotting of the world. It's NOT better than continuing the sacrifices.
This has always been one of my favorite parts of this song and I'm glad I'm not the only one hearing it like that.

This is the song that introduced me to your work!! Phenomenal!
For me this one and Forever Flame introduced me not just to Gav, but to Dark Souls as well!
Your fan songs of Dark Souls are the partial reason the series is so special to me personally. You always capture my facination with this bleak dark fantasy world. Love the remaster, especially as a little excuse for me to relisten to it on loop ^×^
Rock on Gav
Yes, indeed. It is called Lothric, where the transitory lands of the Lords of Cinder converge. In venturing north, the pilgrims discover the truth of the old words: "The fire fades and the lords go without thrones."
I love how you used clips from all three Dark Souls games to show that this song is kinda a finale to the entire series, not just a song for DS III.
The guitar at 2:15 followed by the lyrics has always been my favorite part of this song, both then and now. Love your songs and love this remaster!
My favorite part too!
It's so beautiful despite the fact that I sang along with it with my horrifically untrained vocal skills.
That's great song! So happy to see it remastered! Even more epic now

Your first song i have heard... and i dont regret spending next 8 years listening to your music. Much luv
The raven is one of my favorite scenes and you made it PERFECT! Your stuff is always spot on!
The way lighting changes in the final scene to sync up with the piano strokes is an amazing touch.
Song is still fantastic after all these years and the addition of footage from DS1 and 2 makes the video even better for me (the atmosphere of that DS2 announcement trailer will forever be top tier)
A REMASTER?!? YEAHHHHHHHH ❤
Literal chills, this song is amazing, and this remaster is one of your greatest works. Keep the wonderful music flowing.
Oh man, this is some heavy dark folk fantasy song energy, with how the lyrics are sang. Those haunting waves, man, sends shiver up my spine.
Can't wait till the forever flame remaster. Your souls series of songs has always been amazing.
This has always been one of my favorite souls tracks from you, and I'm more than happy to see a remaster for it
keep up to great work!
A remake of one of favorite songs! Thank you so much for all the work you put into your music, it’s amazing every time.
Now we just need forever flame
Half agree, Fires Far needs one too!
Started re-listening to a few of your souls songs the other day and now we get a remaster, nice.
Still one of my favorites! Your voice, along with Sharm, Karliene, and Aviators together just is always pure perfection!
Who else wants a Mega-collab of those? I personally would add Charismatic Voice, but I understand that it would be difficult to properly contain the grace of their voices in the one song.

Oh very nice to see this one get some attention again
One of the all time greats! Love that it got a remastered. As this is going instantly to my playlist.
Your music is so inspiring. I absolutely adore your tracks!
Im proud to say i finished my first play through of dark souls 3 yesterday, such a good feeling
A remaster of one of my favourites. Hell yeah
I remember waking up VERY excited to listen to the cover when it released. glad a MV got released for it too!
I loved this song when it first came out, I'm glad to see it getting some love again!
just added the whole album to my playlist some of the originals have been on it for ages and now I have another version of these great songs
Love the remaster, can't wait to see more of what's coming!
A remaster of one of your best songs?! Today is a good day.
Beautiful ambience, this is so dark and epic!
Holy... this is so good. I cannot remember listening to this when it first came out.
I'm proud to be a big fan of From Software games and part of a community that continues to create great content, including songs like this
The orginal has still a seat in my favorites on spotify and I am happy to see a wonderful remaster of it ^^

First thing i hear when i wake up. great way to start off the day.
my favorite part of the song is the "Should the fires fade" Part because to me its both a statement and a question
