I was just doing a bike ride inside my house and my girlfriend asked what was wrong... all I could say was... we need to read these books RAFO, you will really like them
With Kaladin I learned what depression was and that I suffered from it. With Kakadin I understood that depression does not go away, but that you can learn to live with it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this song, for this beautiful tribute to who, to a great extent, taught me to fly again. A hug from Seville, Spain.

It won't be like that for me" Kaladin said. "You told me it would get worse." "It will," Wit said, "but then it will get better. Then it will get worse again. Then better. This is life, and I will not lie by saying every day will be sunshine. But there will be sunshine again, and that is a very different thing to say. That is truth. I promise you, Kaladin: You will be warm again." Hoid, Rhythm of War
I've just passed this part on my way to work. One of my favorite quotes from Stormlight. The plan to relisten for the release of book V is not going as planned. At this rate I'll relisten to all 4 books several times until december.
According to RUclips Recap, this is the song I've listened to the most this year. Completely deserved, and I hope it's the same for the next year. A hug to all the Radiant Knights.
You really capture the best parts of Sanderson work and turn it into literal music to our ears. Keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll keep on listening and enjoying these great tracks. Awesome job!
Coming back to comment that I literally cannot listen to song without crying. It captures Kaladin's struggle and journey so well and condenses it into an almost 7 minute experience without losing any of the emotion. This is my favorite piece of Stormlight fan art and I'm really glad it exists. Thank you
I have listened to this song hundreds of times, without commenting. Simply thank you. Brandon, through Kaladin, has saved my life on many occasions, but it is this song that best defines and sums him up. Thanks Stormlyte
I've been listening to this on repeat this morning; it really captures the wave, the ebb and flow of "some days I'll be closer to falling, but I'm finding the reasons to stay." You encapsulated Kaladin's emotional arc through Rhythm of War in a single song, and it's lovely. I love the voice of Sylphrena as he's finding his words; the voices are beautiful in perfect harmony. All the instruments you play and mix together to create a single one of these, all the effort; it's just fantastic. Thank you for working hard to make these.
So encouraging. Thank you, seriously. What you wrote is precisely what I went into this song hoping to accomplish. My wife did indeed nail her performances on this track; I’ll share your kind words with her!! @Infamoti did an INCREDIBLE job adding instrumentation, mixing and mastering the song. It wouldn’t be half of what it is without him. Again, thank you for your support and encouragement!!
Well, here I'm sitting, 40 minutes after midnight, crying my eyes out. First, it was the song. It captures Kaladin so well and, even without that, is just beautiful. Then I opened up the description to look for the art and found your personal story, instead. And I cried again. I'm just another stranger on the internet but I'm really sorry to hear what happened to you and your wife. I'm really happy you found your reasons to stay, though.
Wow. Thank you. Thank you for your words; they matter to us. Thank you for reaching out to share your experience with my music. It fuels the fire to keep writing. Thank you.
By the time the song finished, I was already feeling incredibly moved. Then I read the backstory you wrote in the description. Will probably never meet you, and I'm just another internet stranger, but it's amazing to me that this song, your writing, and Sanderson's stories come altogether here to make me feel such a real and powerful sense of empathy. Thank you for uploading this!!
Thank you for listening. But you’re NOT just another internet stranger! A connection has been made. Thank you for reaching out to me, forging that connection in empathy. It means so much to me.
Fantastic song, it perfectly encapsulates Kaladin's struggle as a character. If the Stormlight Series ever gets an adaptation in some way shape or form, this must have to be included as an OST.
I started going to therapy just after finishing Rythm of War, thanks to that I am now alive. Almost 3 years after the beginning of the journey I find myself crying desperately with all the memories this song brings me back, thank you so much
I am so glad that you are alive. I hope and pray your health continues to improve, onwards and upwards. Thank you for sharing your story; I do not take that lightly. Thanks for listening.
Dije que viviría Estoy cerca de la muerte Dije que sería fuerte Estoy siendo desgarrado Dije que seguiría moviéndome llegar al final del viaje estoy a la deriva en el viento Dije que protegería Los indefensos y los débiles pero los ojos se vuelven cenizas las flechas encuentran su marca en cualquier momento dado Los pocos que he salvado podría encontrar una tumba temprana el abismo del honor me llama los ecos nunca se desvanecen cada día estoy más cerca de caer cada vez es más difícil quedarse Dije que protegería Incluso aquellos que odio pero no puedo elegir un lado en mi estado roto Cantor y soldado el traidor que no puedo enfrentar Estoy congelado en su lugar el abismo del honor me llama los ecos nunca se desvanecen cada día estoy más cerca de caer cada vez es más difícil quedarse estabas ahí para mí en los días más oscuros pero no corriste y te escondiste hiciste sentir a los débiles valientes necesitabas a tu hermano te encontré demasiado tarde hay palabras que no puedo decir Sé las palabras que no puedo decir Hay palabras que no puedo decir hay palabras que debes decir Sé las palabras que no puedo decir cuales son las palabras que debes decir Seguire luchando Pero acepto que habrá aquellos a los que no pueda proteger Seguire luchando Pero acepto que habrá aquellos a los que no pueda proteger el abismo del honor me llamó los ecos se desvanecen lentamente algún día estaré más cerca de caer pero voy a encontrar las razones para quedarme el abismo del honor me llamó los ecos se desvanecen lentamente algún día estaré más cerca de caer pero voy a encontrar las razones para quedarme
Muchísimas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de hacer esto, y claramente también al compositor y creador de la canción y el video, pero también a ti por extender la belleza de esta pieza de arte a otro idioma y otras mentes.
I think this is my favorite of your songs so far. Your ability to adapt stories from amazing books into incredible songs is unmatched. I'm really looking forward to your future projects but in the mean time I'll be listening to this song on repeat.
I have been listening to this song the most for the past 3-4 months now. It is because of this, and a few friends that I have been able to keep with the stormlight series, as well as relate my own experiences with depression. Thank you for this song and I hope that through your own hardships, that you are able to continue to find light and purpose. You and your family. Bless you, friend :)
Hey, just...thanks. For this. All your music is amazing, but this I think I felt the Spirit in. Which, with the emotion you two sang with and the story you told, makes sense. I gotta admit, despite dealing with depression myself, I wasn't *super* touched by Kaladin's story in RoW. It took some rereading of the ending before I could even make myself feel much of anything about it on a purely emotional level, to be honest. But music is a different medium, and this...this means things to me. I'll love your cosmere songs no matter what they are, I think, and I regularly hum or belt out Survive and Bondsmith. This doesn't hit the same way as those - which isn't better or worse, it's just different, and I love it a lot. So thanks to you and the others who have worked on this song for another excellent fan song that I hope to see in eventual movies or shows ;) I wish you, your wife, and Jane a good Halloween.
If it's all right, I'm gonna plop the lyrics down here - because I am definitely gonna be singing this to myself a lot haha I said that I would live; I am close to death I said that I'd be strong; I'm being torn apart I said that I'd keep moving, reach the journey's end I'm drifting on the wind I said that I'd protect the helpless and the weak But eyes are turned to ash, arrows find their mark At any given moment, the few that I have saved could find an early grave The Honor Chasm calls to me Echoes never fade away Every day I'm closer to falling It's getting harder and harder to stay I said that I'd protect even those I hate But I cannot choose a side in my broken state Singer and soldier...the traitor I can't face I'm frozen in place The Honor Chasm calls to me Echoes never fade away Every day I'm closer to falling It's getting harder and harder... You were there for me on the darkest days But you did not run and hide You made the weak feel brave You needed your brother; I found you all too late There are Words I cannot say I know the Words that I must say There are Words I cannot say (there are Words that you must say) I know the Words that I must say (what are the Words that you must say?) I'LL KEEP ON FIGHTING, BUT I ACCEPT that there will be those I cannot protect! I'll keep on fighting, but I accept that there will be those I cannot protect The Honor Chasm called to me Echoes slowly fade away Some days I'll be closer to falling But I'm finding the reasons - The Honor Chasm called to me Echoes slowly fade away Some days I'll be closer to falling But I'm finding the reasons to stay
I'd never really had a book make me cry. Then I read the entirety of the cosmere, and just about every series has made me shed a few tears. THEN I read RoW, and I had to spend about 5 minutes crying the first time I read *that* section. I've been listening to this probably about 15 times so far, and I'm amazed at how this song brings all of Kaladin's journey into one short section. I've read the series around 4 times now, and being able to picture every scene almost makes this hard to listen to. But it's just SO GOOD. gg wp I need to go cry again.
I really appreciate your openness; I too have shed many a tear reading his books. I’m so glad you’re enjoying my music, and can’t thank you enough for taking time to comment. Means a lot.
Just found this in my Stormlight reread in prep for the new one. I am so excited to see the fan community producing more than talented middle schooler art. It wasn't always that way. Legitimately great stuff man.
I found you initially through your song about Kelsier-which is fantastic,, but *this one* is next level, man! I'm more than happy that this video showed up in my recommendations,,, thanks for sharing,,, *Life before Death, Radiant !!*
I was rereading the series and had the thought of if there were fan songs and... just damn, this is beautiful I cried the first time listening to it, and I'm still listening, it's phenomenal
Can't believe it took me this long to stumble across this channel. This is beautiful work, and is definitely going in my regular Cosmere Spotify playlist
I've been trying to think of a good comment for this masterpiece. I don't know if I have one. Kaladin as a character really speaks to me. He's superman like, he's a paladin, he can fly, he has suicidal depression. I feel like you really know how to condense a character into an excellent song.
This is sooo awesome!! This song is almost like a short film, it has so much depth and dynamics. I was impacted deeply by the lyrics, melody, the beautiful vocals, and the arrangement. I think this song has something for everyone, regardless if they have read the books or not.
This song is absolutely storming beautiful. I was waiting for it ever since you mentioned you were making a song about Kaladin, and it was so worth the wait! I'm really hoping Kal gets a happy ending in Stormlight 5. Journey before destination!
Life is hard, we all have our troubles, and sometimes we don't even get to choose our trials. But, as you've captured beautifully here, we find our reasons to keep fighting indeed. And believe it or not, songs like this one are one of mine, thank you.
There are days where I play this song on repeat and just vibe to it. It captures Kaladin's struggles so damn well. This song might be my favorite fan creation that has come from the Stormlight Archive to date. Thank you for the journey!
It was your own story that made this song so beautiful to me. I loved how you captured Kaladin's struggle and how it parallels your own reaching for life love and the joy one finds in trying ❤️ every day! Hope your family is well and congratulations on your little one!
man this song popped up in my playlist and spoilered me but im not even mad... sandersons forshadowing kinda layed it exactly like that these books are incredible
Uggghh I am so sorry you were spoilered. I put it in the description but not in the lyric video itself, something I regret now!! I hope you were able to enjoy it anyway!!
Dont worry ^^ RUclips put it in my playlist and I didnt pay attention what exactly popped up there. But im currently reading rythm of war so this wont be a problem anymore longer I really like your song
Just wanted to share with you guys how much this song has helped me. Been struggling with depression most of my adult life (29 now) but always was able to hide the dark shroud that threatens me away. However, as you’ve emotionally sang, it’s getting harder and harder to stay. I think of these words often, as i think of Kaladin. the darkness encircling me is ever more present, even when distracted doing something or at work. but I have decided to stop pushing it away, to take back control of my life. I let myself cry for myself today for the first time in many many years while listening to this. And I already feel a little better than I did before. So I just want you to know how powerful this song is to me and how much it has and will continue to help me. ❤ Thank you again
This is incredible. Wow. What an absolute honor to be a part of your story. I am so sorry for the darkness you have experienced for so long. Please know my wife and I are praying for you, hoping you don’t stop fighting. We’re glad you’re here.
Okay. I reached “you needed your brother, I found you all too late” and started tearing up, and then I got hit with “there are words I cannot say” and started full on sobbing. How dare you.
i LOVED how you captured kaladin's essence and soul here, he's my comfort character and i'll be listening to this a lot 🤍 thank you so much for sharing your art! Life before death ✨
As someone who relates to Kaladin's struggle with depression, as many of us do, I don't think I've ever found a song that brings me to tears like this. I think we all have our own Honor Chasm that calls to us, but what matters is finding those reasons so stay. Thank you for letting yourself be vulnerable enough to let us share in your own journey through this song, and I hope you have found whatever peace you have striven to find.
Thank you so much for all of your words. Thank you especially for your own openness about your struggle with depression. I am so glad my music met you along your journey in a way that was helpful. And thank you, we have indeed found peace, even as we often recall the pain of loss. Peace has come in the form of understanding and embracing the bizarre juxtaposition of joy and pain in our lives, and then seeing that we aren’t alone in it. I don’t know that it makes it easier, but it certainly makes it bearable. Thanks again for taking time to listen and to write!!
I loved Survive and I'm sure I'll love Bondsmith(haven't read Oathbringer yet so I'm waiting) but this. This is amazing. I like survive because it gave me memories of Mistborn, and I love Mistborn. This on the other hand felt like it was speaking to me via a book series I love. I don't know what else to say. Thank you.
@@nithromkvothe8020 and your point is? I have the tendency to guess things before they are revealed and what the 4th ideal is is very heavily hinted at even in Oathbringer given how Kaladin is so often trying to save everyone and is crushed by the fact he can't. Knowing me, I'd have guessed it early anyway. Besides, why do you care? I'll experience the cosmere my way, you do it your way.
I was sobbing like a baby while listening to this for the first time. Absolutely amazing and I'm so glad I discovered this song. I had also just finished rhythm of war a few days before discovering this song and oh boy how hard it was not to sob while reading the dog and the dragon, and then listening to this just made it all come out. Stunning work! Beautiful voice! Enrapturing pacing! I love this so much. Right after, I listened to Bondsmith and the amount of tears that came out of me that day was concerning, but really shows how perfectly you captured the struggle in both Dalinar and Kaladin
Sounds like a lot of healthy processing to me!!!! :):):) I am so glad you’ve enjoyed my songs. It means so much to me, seriously. Thanks for taking time to write.
This is achingly beautiful. Finished ROW a few days ago and finding your song helped release a lot of emotions, even though I did cry my way through certain scenes. Thank you for sharing your own story with us, it makes this song even more powerful.
I accept that there will be thouse I can not Protect I spoiled myselft that with your song and even knowing it I cried as a baby when the moment came. This song is.... Is beautiful and puts me emotional every time.
Absolutely beautiful song, gave me chills the entire way through. Your songs perfectly encapsulate the characters themes, and you should be proud of yourself. Keep up the great work, life before death.
Together with Bondsmith and Survive, this is one of my best songs, also Bridge Four is nice (alexmcallister). But I love this one, I even have a mug of windrunners. Thank you so much
Finally finishing up with my junior year of high school and I just want to express how much this song means to me. The backstory relating to this song really hit me hard and made the song that much more meaningful and truly beautiful. The message of moving foward despite the hardships you have to go through is a powerful one and is beautifully expressed in this song. Kaladins journey about being able to accept that there will be those he cannot protect was absolutely incredible to read and this song speaks to me In a way no song has done before. Your song fills me with so much hope for the future and I always find myself coming back to this song whenever I need that motivation and hope that I so previously lacked. I always find myself tearing up beacuse of the lyrics and the amazing vocals by you and your wife. A message to everyone: you will feel warm again and you will be able to push through the hard times and reach that happiness that may seem so far away. Life before death my friends
I just listened to this song for the first time in a year. I had forgotten how amazing it is. Kaladin’s story and emotion is captured perfectly in 7 minutes. Thank you for giving us this masterpiece!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for listening and for engaging with the music and our story. Thanks for your very kind words as well. So encouraging!!!
I come back to this song alot ND I just read the description. I sincerely hope your family will see better days and I can see Jane is a start. Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination. Words to live by.
Honestly this is better than any most of the albums I've heard, Why people with most talents are soo underrated... Please don't give up on your passion.. Your work is beautiful. Thanks for making this.
This song is SO STORMING BEAUTIFUL!!! It rly captures Kaladin's story...and rly just the fight with depression in general...I struggle with depression and Kal has always been close to my heart...this song is just so perfect and moving...honestly cried the first few times I listened to it!
I discovered Sanderson's books around six months ago, I've read the entire comsmere, and am now re-reading Stormlight. I found this song a few days ago, and I can't say anything other than it is a storming *MASTERPIECE* the lyrics, the instrumentals, the vocals, all amazing. The Stormlight Archives is my altimeter favorite book series, and this song might just be my new favorite song. (although I have a lot of those... sorry.) what I'm trying to say is this is amazing, and this captures Kalladin's character perfectly, I can tell you and everyone who worked on it put their all into it. because it shows. this song is incredible. Not a lot of songs have made me cry, this one did... its just that good.
Thank you so much for your kind words, your support, and the fact that you keep coming back to it. It means so, so much. Keep an eye out for Vin’s song, coming soon!
Just found this!!! So beautiful and moving! I cried through the whole journey. Kaladin’s character really resonates with me because he and I both suffer from depression. So, this one hit me hard! Anyway, thank you for dreaming this up and putting it out there for us to enjoy :)
I am so grateful to you for this incredible song. I have understood Kaladin's pain from an early age (I would prefer not to elaborate on this part) and the story of the Stormlight Archive made a huge impact on me. Because of that, I am sincerely grateful to you for making this song that I can listen to to remember the awe-inspiring story of Kaladin's life!
First time hearing it was solid goosebumps and awe. A week later and about a dozen listens I cried and sulk as i could sing it out of heart, givibg me time to play all of Kaladins story in my head. The song is phenomenal even without the context. But with it. Its a damn masterpiece! Thank you for gifting us with this blessing!
Been looping this since I finished RoW. My favourite song (in general musicwise), it gives such an undescriptable feeling that gets me back to the moment I first read Moments. Thank you, Stormlyte.
That was an amazing song encapsulating kaladin's journey from book 1 to book 4. I first found your work with stormlight about dalinar and I'm glad I subscribed hope someday there's enough songs that you can create a whole CD worth of songs about the cosmere.
@@telekinesys7025 I assume he's trying to say Kaladin. Probably just an Audiobook reader that listens a little too fast to hear the name correctly. My father is the same way, he listens at 1.9x speed and thought it was spelled "Caledawn".
Dude I'm at the gym crying at this song
I hope both your physical and emotional workouts were helpful!! :D Thanks for listening!!
I was just doing a bike ride inside my house and my girlfriend asked what was wrong... all I could say was... we need to read these books RAFO, you will really like them

Dije que viviría
Estoy cerca de la muerte
Dije que sería fuerte
Estoy siendo desgarrado
Dije que seguiría moviéndome
llegar al final del viaje
estoy a la deriva en el viento
Dije que protegería
Los indefensos y los débiles
pero los ojos se vuelven cenizas
las flechas encuentran su marca
en cualquier momento dado
Los pocos que he salvado
podría encontrar una tumba temprana
el abismo del honor me llama
los ecos nunca se desvanecen
cada día estoy más cerca de caer
cada vez es más difícil quedarse
Dije que protegería
Incluso aquellos que odio
pero no puedo elegir un lado
en mi estado roto
Cantor y soldado
el traidor que no puedo enfrentar
Estoy congelado en su lugar
el abismo del honor me llama
los ecos nunca se desvanecen
cada día estoy más cerca de caer
cada vez es más difícil quedarse
estabas ahí para mí
en los días más oscuros
pero no corriste y te escondiste
hiciste sentir a los débiles valientes
necesitabas a tu hermano
te encontré demasiado tarde
hay palabras que no puedo decir
Sé las palabras que no puedo decir
Hay palabras que no puedo decir
hay palabras que debes decir
Sé las palabras que no puedo decir
cuales son las palabras que debes decir
Seguire luchando
Pero acepto
que habrá aquellos a los que no pueda proteger
Seguire luchando
Pero acepto
que habrá aquellos a los que no pueda proteger
el abismo del honor me llamó
los ecos se desvanecen lentamente
algún día estaré más cerca de caer
pero voy a encontrar las razones para quedarme
el abismo del honor me llamó
los ecos se desvanecen lentamente
algún día estaré más cerca de caer
pero voy a encontrar las razones para quedarme

Hey, just...thanks. For this. All your music is amazing, but this I think I felt the Spirit in. Which, with the emotion you two sang with and the story you told, makes sense.

This doesn't hit the same way as those - which isn't better or worse, it's just different, and I love it a lot. So thanks to you and the others who have worked on this song for another excellent fan song that I hope to see in eventual movies or shows ;)
I wish you, your wife, and Jane a good Halloween.
No words….. except thank you. Thank you so much.
@@stormlyte oh no no no, *I* am thanking *you* here, you get to sit back and bathe in praise like you storming deserve to :P
If it's all right, I'm gonna plop the lyrics down here - because I am definitely gonna be singing this to myself a lot haha
I said that I would live; I am close to death
I said that I'd be strong; I'm being torn apart
I said that I'd keep moving, reach the journey's end
I'm drifting on the wind
I said that I'd protect the helpless and the weak
But eyes are turned to ash, arrows find their mark
At any given moment, the few that I have saved could find an early grave
The Honor Chasm calls to me
Echoes never fade away
Every day I'm closer to falling
It's getting harder and harder to stay
I said that I'd protect even those I hate
But I cannot choose a side in my broken state
Singer and soldier...the traitor I can't face
I'm frozen in place
The Honor Chasm calls to me
Echoes never fade away
Every day I'm closer to falling
It's getting harder and harder...
You were there for me on the darkest days
But you did not run and hide
You made the weak feel brave
You needed your brother; I found you all too late
There are Words I cannot say
I know the Words that I must say
There are Words I cannot say (there are Words that you must say)
I know the Words that I must say (what are the Words that you must say?)
I'LL KEEP ON FIGHTING, BUT I ACCEPT
that there will be those I cannot protect!
I'll keep on fighting, but I accept
that there will be those I cannot protect
The Honor Chasm called to me
Echoes slowly fade away
Some days I'll be closer to falling
But I'm finding the reasons -
The Honor Chasm called to me
Echoes slowly fade away
Some days I'll be closer to falling
But I'm finding the reasons to stay
Thank you. Im trying to find a better way to say it, but just, thank you. For everything you put into this.
I'd never really had a book make me cry. Then I read the entirety of the cosmere, and just about every series has made me shed a few tears. THEN I read RoW, and I had to spend about 5 minutes crying the first time I read *that* section. I've been listening to this probably about 15 times so far, and I'm amazed at how this song brings all of Kaladin's journey into one short section. I've read the series around 4 times now, and being able to picture every scene almost makes this hard to listen to. But it's just SO GOOD. gg wp I need to go cry again.
I really appreciate your openness; I too have shed many a tear reading his books. I’m so glad you’re enjoying my music, and can’t thank you enough for taking time to comment. Means a lot.
"I'm frozen in place" that really kills me on every listen.
Its been two years since this was released and I still can't sing along without choking up midway through. God I love this song
You have my support and, as a radiant says, journey before destination. That song is amazing and you show perfectly the moments and the Life.
This needs FAR more attention
Just found this in my Stormlight reread in prep for the new one. I am so excited to see the fan community producing more than talented middle schooler art. It wasn't always that way. Legitimately great stuff man.
@@userJohnSmith wow how awesome that you found this at such an opportune moment!! Thank you so much for listening. Enjoy the reread!!
@@stormlyte Played it for my son, whose also a big Sanderson fan, this morning. He absolutely loved it.
@@userJohnSmith wow what an honor for you to share it with a member of your family. Thank you!! I’m so glad he enjoyed it!!
i"m speechless. WOW
I found you initially through your song about Kelsier-which is fantastic,, but *this one* is next level, man!
I'm more than happy that this video showed up in my recommendations,,, thanks for sharing,,, *Life before Death, Radiant !!*
I was rereading the series and had the thought of if there were fan songs and... just damn, this is beautiful
I cried the first time listening to it, and I'm still listening, it's phenomenal
Can't believe it took me this long to stumble across this channel. This is beautiful work, and is definitely going in my regular Cosmere Spotify playlist
I've been trying to think of a good comment for this masterpiece. I don't know if I have one. Kaladin as a character really speaks to me. He's superman like, he's a paladin, he can fly, he has suicidal depression. I feel like you really know how to condense a character into an excellent song.
Wow. That means a LOT!! Thank you for listening and sharing your thoughts!! He is an amazing character indeed!!
This is sooo awesome!! This song is almost like a short film, it has so much depth and dynamics. I was impacted deeply by the lyrics, melody, the beautiful vocals, and the arrangement. I think this song has something for everyone, regardless if they have read the books or not.
It wouldn’t be half of what it is without you, my friend!! THANK YOU!!
This song just hit me directly in my soul 🥺
This is incredible! I keep coming back for more
This song is absolutely storming beautiful. I was waiting for it ever since you mentioned you were making a song about Kaladin, and it was so worth the wait! I'm really hoping Kal gets a happy ending in Stormlight 5. Journey before destination!
I am so, SO glad you enjoyed it!!! Me too, cannot wait to see the wonderful insanity unfold!!
Life is hard, we all have our troubles, and sometimes we don't even get to choose our trials. But, as you've captured beautifully here, we find our reasons to keep fighting indeed. And believe it or not, songs like this one are one of mine, thank you.
Wow. From the man himself. Thanks for taking time to listen, and for your very meaningful words.
There are days where I play this song on repeat and just vibe to it. It captures Kaladin's struggles so damn well.
This song might be my favorite fan creation that has come from the Stormlight Archive to date.
Thank you for the journey!
I cry everytime I listen to this, what a masterpiece.
Wonderful job!
This song has me in tears the wait for this song has been completely worth it can’t wait to see what’s next
Thank you for your support!!!
What can be said? Beautiful. Haunting. Moving. It is an amazing story/song! Thank you for sharing this piece. I cannot tell you how proud I am.
It was your own story that made this song so beautiful to me. I loved how you captured Kaladin's struggle and how it parallels your own reaching for life love and the joy one finds in trying ❤️ every day! Hope your family is well and congratulations on your little one!
This is utterly and absolutely fabulous. 😭😭😭
man this song popped up in my playlist and spoilered me but im not even mad... sandersons forshadowing kinda layed it exactly like that
these books are incredible
Uggghh I am so sorry you were spoilered. I put it in the description but not in the lyric video itself, something I regret now!! I hope you were able to enjoy it anyway!!
Dont worry ^^ RUclips put it in my playlist and I didnt pay attention what exactly popped up there. But im currently reading rythm of war so this wont be a problem anymore longer
I really like your song
If they ever make a movie of this series, then the Rhythm of War movie needs to license this from you guys for the credit reel.
Just wanted to share with you guys how much this song has helped me.
Been struggling with depression most of my adult life (29 now) but always was able to hide the dark shroud that threatens me away. However, as you’ve emotionally sang, it’s getting harder and harder to stay. I think of these words often, as i think of Kaladin. the darkness encircling me is ever more present, even when distracted doing something or at work. but I have decided to stop pushing it away, to take back control of my life. I let myself cry for myself today for the first time in many many years while listening to this. And I already feel a little better than I did before.
So I just want you to know how powerful this song is to me and how much it has and will continue to help me. ❤ Thank you again
This is incredible. Wow. What an absolute honor to be a part of your story. I am so sorry for the darkness you have experienced for so long. Please know my wife and I are praying for you, hoping you don’t stop fighting.
We’re glad you’re here.
@@stormlyte Thank you for the words and prayers ❤️
Holy crap. Best song I've heard based on Stormlight. Truly amazing. 🤩😍
Okay. I reached “you needed your brother, I found you all too late” and started tearing up, and then I got hit with “there are words I cannot say” and started full on sobbing.
How dare you.
I literally cried while listening to this. it really captures Kaladin's whole journey. This is the best thing I've heard in a while.
The moment I heard Syl couldnt hold it, now i kinda channel your voice into kaladin words when im reading, loving your songs!
That was an absolutely beautiful song to tell Kaladin's journey and to show us how to accept loss.
i LOVED how you captured kaladin's essence and soul here, he's my comfort character and i'll be listening to this a lot 🤍 thank you so much for sharing your art! Life before death ✨
My absolute pleasure. Thanks for listening!!!
Bro, I'm crying...
Pls you have to put this amazing song on spotify
I cannot express how much I love this.
Thank you.
As someone who relates to Kaladin's struggle with depression, as many of us do, I don't think I've ever found a song that brings me to tears like this. I think we all have our own Honor Chasm that calls to us, but what matters is finding those reasons so stay. Thank you for letting yourself be vulnerable enough to let us share in your own journey through this song, and I hope you have found whatever peace you have striven to find.
Thank you so much for all of your words. Thank you especially for your own openness about your struggle with depression. I am so glad my music met you along your journey in a way that was helpful.
And thank you, we have indeed found peace, even as we often recall the pain of loss. Peace has come in the form of understanding and embracing the bizarre juxtaposition of joy and pain in our lives, and then seeing that we aren’t alone in it. I don’t know that it makes it easier, but it certainly makes it bearable.
Thanks again for taking time to listen and to write!!
I loved Survive and I'm sure I'll love Bondsmith(haven't read Oathbringer yet so I'm waiting) but this. This is amazing. I like survive because it gave me memories of Mistborn, and I love Mistborn. This on the other hand felt like it was speaking to me via a book series I love. I don't know what else to say. Thank you.
This song has Rhythm of War spoilers...
@@nithromkvothe8020 they were vague enough that it didn't even remotely ruin anything in Rhythm of War for me.
@@Masonio Maybe, but you already knew Kaladin's fourth ideal
@@nithromkvothe8020 and your point is? I have the tendency to guess things before they are revealed and what the 4th ideal is is very heavily hinted at even in Oathbringer given how Kaladin is so often trying to save everyone and is crushed by the fact he can't. Knowing me, I'd have guessed it early anyway. Besides, why do you care? I'll experience the cosmere my way, you do it your way.
@@Masonio I'm just saying that if you don't mind spoilers, you could have listened to Bondsmith without reading Oathbringer. Chill.
I was sobbing like a baby while listening to this for the first time. Absolutely amazing and I'm so glad I discovered this song. I had also just finished rhythm of war a few days before discovering this song and oh boy how hard it was not to sob while reading the dog and the dragon, and then listening to this just made it all come out. Stunning work! Beautiful voice! Enrapturing pacing! I love this so much. Right after, I listened to Bondsmith and the amount of tears that came out of me that day was concerning, but really shows how perfectly you captured the struggle in both Dalinar and Kaladin
Sounds like a lot of healthy processing to me!!!! :):):) I am so glad you’ve enjoyed my songs. It means so much to me, seriously. Thanks for taking time to write.
This is achingly beautiful. Finished ROW a few days ago and finding your song helped release a lot of emotions, even though I did cry my way through certain scenes. Thank you for sharing your own story with us, it makes this song even more powerful.
I accept that there will be thouse I can not Protect
I spoiled myselft that with your song and even knowing it I cried as a baby when the moment came.
This song is....
Is beautiful and puts me emotional every time.
Absolutely beautiful song, gave me chills the entire way through. Your songs perfectly encapsulate the characters themes, and you should be proud of yourself. Keep up the great work, life before death.
Thank you!!! Life before death.
The lyric is really beautiful. It really captures Kaladin's emotional journey and growth. Superb work!
Together with Bondsmith and Survive, this is one of my best songs, also Bridge Four is nice (alexmcallister). But I love this one, I even have a mug of windrunners. Thank you so much
Finally finishing up with my junior year of high school and I just want to express how much this song means to me. The backstory relating to this song really hit me hard and made the song that much more meaningful and truly beautiful. The message of moving foward despite the hardships you have to go through is a powerful one and is beautifully expressed in this song. Kaladins journey about being able to accept that there will be those he cannot protect was absolutely incredible to read and this song speaks to me In a way no song has done before. Your song fills me with so much hope for the future and I always find myself coming back to this song whenever I need that motivation and hope that I so previously lacked. I always find myself tearing up beacuse of the lyrics and the amazing vocals by you and your wife. A message to everyone: you will feel warm again and you will be able to push through the hard times and reach that happiness that may seem so far away. Life before death my friends
I feel this perfectly captures Kalidan’s mental state through most of the series. Poor guy.
I just listened to this song for the first time in a year. I had forgotten how amazing it is. Kaladin’s story and emotion is captured perfectly in 7 minutes. Thank you for giving us this masterpiece!
Crying like a baby, and after reading your story double crying! Thie song is amazing and hope that if they make something on tv the y use it ❤️
Thank you, thank you, thank you for listening and for engaging with the music and our story. Thanks for your very kind words as well. So encouraging!!!
I cannot tell you have beautiful and moving this is. I weep every time I listen. I am so sorry for your loss that made you feel what Kaladin felt.
Wow. Thank you for entering into our pain. I cannot tell you how much your condolences mean to us. Thank you. And thank you for listening.
I come back to this song alot ND I just read the description. I sincerely hope your family will see better days and I can see Jane is a start. Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination. Words to live by.
A lady posted this in a FB group the Stormlight Archive. Very nice. Mellow. Thank you for this.
Honestly this is better than any most of the albums I've heard, Why people with most talents are soo underrated... Please don't give up on your passion.. Your work is beautiful. Thanks for making this.
I love this, I love this so much! This song is hauntingly beautiful and that is absolutely thanks to your voice. Incredible
This song is SO STORMING BEAUTIFUL!!! It rly captures Kaladin's story...and rly just the fight with depression in general...I struggle with depression and Kal has always been close to my heart...this song is just so perfect and moving...honestly cried the first few times I listened to it!
Yup, song still kicks me in the feels even after a few months, well done.
I discovered Sanderson's books around six months ago, I've read the entire comsmere, and am now re-reading Stormlight. I found this song a few days ago, and I can't say anything other than it is a storming *MASTERPIECE* the lyrics, the instrumentals, the vocals, all amazing. The Stormlight Archives is my altimeter favorite book series, and this song might just be my new favorite song. (although I have a lot of those... sorry.) what I'm trying to say is this is amazing, and this captures Kalladin's character perfectly, I can tell you and everyone who worked on it put their all into it. because it shows. this song is incredible. Not a lot of songs have made me cry, this one did...
its just that good.
I cry almost every single time I listen to this masterpiece. You're amazing. Thank you for your incredible work.
Thank you so much for your kind words, your support, and the fact that you keep coming back to it. It means so, so much. Keep an eye out for Vin’s song, coming soon!
Dude, this is amazing! I got literally chills at the I'll keep on fighting part, and that almost never happens to me! Awesome job!
What is this? Why are you not more famous! Bond Smith was amazing! I want it in Spotify!
Just found this!!! So beautiful and moving! I cried through the whole journey.
Kaladin’s character really resonates with me because he and I both suffer from depression. So, this one hit me hard!
Anyway, thank you for dreaming this up and putting it out there for us to enjoy :)
Thank you so much for this, I loved it
Your best work, I will treasure this song for the rest of my life. Thank you.
I am so grateful to you for this incredible song. I have understood Kaladin's pain from an early age (I would prefer not to elaborate on this part) and the story of the Stormlight Archive made a huge impact on me. Because of that, I am sincerely grateful to you for making this song that I can listen to to remember the awe-inspiring story of Kaladin's life!
this is so incredibly beautiful, i hope they play it on the credits scene for a stormlight film
Shivers. That moment in RoW brought me to tears, and this brought it all back. This is your best song yet. Thank you so much for your music.
This song, as well as the books, made me cry my eyes out. Thank you very much for this, absolutely beatiful.
I am so glad it moved you in such a deep way!! Thank you for listening and sharing such encouraging words!!
I will not mince words. Your video got me to read one of my favourite fantasy books of all time.
I just finished Rythms of War some days ago and I'm not okay. I cried a lot reading it and I'm crying to this song 🫡
Finished it a month ago and I think about teft and cry at least once a day
Man, just keep this great work, really.
A hug from spain.
First time hearing it was solid goosebumps and awe. A week later and about a dozen listens I cried and sulk as i could sing it out of heart, givibg me time to play all of Kaladins story in my head.
The song is phenomenal even without the context. But with it. Its a damn masterpiece! Thank you for gifting us with this blessing!
You're killing me with those 7th chords, man. Also this pretty much sums up my experiences over the last 4 years
Absolutely amazing. I've been listening to for a while now and still can't believe how underrated it is
Been looping this since I finished RoW. My favourite song (in general musicwise), it gives such an undescriptable feeling that gets me back to the moment I first read Moments. Thank you, Stormlyte.
That was an amazing song encapsulating kaladin's journey from book 1 to book 4. I first found your work with stormlight about dalinar and I'm glad I subscribed hope someday there's enough songs that you can create a whole CD worth of songs about the cosmere.
Cowden?
@@telekinesys7025 I assume he's trying to say Kaladin. Probably just an Audiobook reader that listens a little too fast to hear the name correctly. My father is the same way, he listens at 1.9x speed and thought it was spelled "Caledawn".
@@jonahhenry1941 Oh yeah, sometimes I forget that the Audiobooks exist 😅
That is my plan! Glad to know you’d actually be interested in an entire album!! Helps me think through songs I’d like to hear on it!
@Jonah Henry actually I use Google speech to text and sometimes it messes up words
