Forever is in our hearts All Scripture is inspired of God+ and beneficial for teaching,+ for reproving, for setting things straight,+ for disciplining in righteousness,+
After a big life disappointment I find this. Time to rest, regather and re strategize and after my thoughts are regathered, it will be time to be resilient!
I began playing Elden Ring about a year ago, completed it 3 times with more than 300 hours on it playing solo and offline only. In 40 years of gaming (since the Atari 2600), I have never put that many hours on a single game. Now I'm getting into Dark Souls III and Dark Souls 1 (not the remastered). Those games have something very special.
I envy you. I wish I could erase my memories to play all the Dark Souls games and Elden Ring one more tine "new". There is not much masterpieces as those...
You should also play Dark Souls 2, it has its flaws like any game in the series but its virtues outweigh them, just don't be influenced by people who lie and make reviews in bad faith like Mauler or Feeble King
At times in my journeys and battles I have found myself alone in a church. The respite is beautiful. Fresh challenges now come my way. Time to refresh and recoup.
I can't stop replaying this music and animation video. The combination of the catchy tune and the beautifully animated characters is pure joy. It brings a smile to my face every time!
I've listened to a lot of ambient music videos with similar themes to this, but this one really stands out and is probably my favorite. Criminally underrated.
To Mr.Allan Ariza, ...should you read this, I want you to know, in all my life (54 years), I have never heard of just one artist who can do the most beautiful music without a single failure, ...all of your work is a masterpiece and since I have discovered your music a few months ago, I have listened to it every single day. THANK YOU.
Great track, really balanced. The fact of having included these choral voices differentiates it from the rest of your works... I don't remember other tracks like this...
I use an original story for my guys based on a story i wrote, so most of what im going to say wont sound like it makes much sense. Im going to play this on my parties' return to the Plain of Light after the chapter Nightfall. This is going to be one hell of an emotional chapter in the campaign, since the party does visit Plain of Light pre Nightfall, so theres going to be a lot of comparisons to the before and after. Before: "as you enter the Plain of Light, you feel a gentle ray of warmth touch your skin, regenerating you and making you feel more whole than you have ever done before. Exhaustion seeps away, as does your fatigue. You see a sea of tall white grass, and when you touch it, you can feel its soft blades seemingly caress you. In the distance you hear the singing of angels, as they flitter high in the sky to and from buildings that are built vertically and not horizontally. But the thing you notice most is that the angels all sing together, like a choir as they fly. After Nightfall: you enter the Plain of Light and there is no warmth. You immediatelly hear no song, and see no patch of grass that is not painted in blood. Buildings lay crumbled and broken upon each other and there is no sensation of peace that can be felt anywhere. Even you can feel it, the weight of their loss. (There is a previous chapter in the story where the Plain of Darkness goes through a similar thing, but the mood is different)
Thank you. This appeared at an incredible time. It sounds like a solemn journey, hope wanes but always rises again. This helps me stay focused on what I need to do.
No matter how difficult the day is, music is still a strong source of motivation, helping me overcome all challenges and confidently continue on my path.
omg - i listened to this on headphones - and got goose bumps - so beautiful and when i close my eyes, i'm directly at the firelink shrine. goes under the skin - very very beautiful💗
Exquisite. It is a sound that captures the feel of a lone soul made to face a sea of angry gods, and who rests now, lost to the thought of what is yet to come. This is beautiful. It inspires my writing. Thank you for making this.
Beautifully calm and soothing. Perfect fro long focus sessions at work or while being creative. Albeit the dark theme, for me it is very positive and energizing, makes my mood strong and positive, ready for what is to come.
I've listened to 3 sets so far. These are absolutely awesome and what I need in my daily routines. Not to mention, Allan Ariza's art is freakin amazing.
Finally got a chance to listen at high volume with good bass. Visual is awesome, albeit mostly AI with some very well done editing; the composition & production are equal parts powerful and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your vision with the world
Great question - I haven’t thought about the reason much. Maybe some of us connect with art more knowing the skill, time, and effort that went into making it? I can think of a few other reasons but too many for a youtube comment
For the same reason that art is beautiful in the first place. Every tendril of the human experience leads to every fraction of a piece of artwork created by the artist. Without these ties--through which we are inextricably time-bound--and the sacrifices made, the piece of 'art' is hollow. Like an undead searching for their soul, one might say.@@thisswanwearssocks
I just discovered... this music fits GREAT with the gameplay of Battletech by HBS. Dusted off and replayed the game this week and found this syncs with the game soundtrack nicely. And now I'm listening while I'm working, so... Subscribed!
The constant war of countless conflicts going on in the inner soul is much bigger and more difficult than the thousands of physical fears, mysteries, dangers and obstacles of the world. अन्तःकरण में अनेक भावनाओं के मध्य असंख्य द्वन्द्वों का अनवरत चलता युद्ध, संसार के सहस्त्रों शारीरिक भय, रहस्य, खतरे और बाधाओं से कहीं अधिक बड़ा और कठिन है.
Mine was a long absence from the net and music, and starting over from your own work was a real pleasure. Very nice track, but with you it’s always safe. Thumbs up Allan 👍👍👍
Listening to this is so hauntingly beautiful... I find myself thinking of Hawkwood from Dark Souls 3. When I played that game, I created my character as a warrior, whose backstory was that she yearned to join the Undead Legion, but was not strong enough to join their ranks. Disgraced and exiled from home, she sought a chance to redeem herself, but once again failed, only to be reborn as an Unkindled. Upon meeting Hawkwood, she felt his pain and his despair, but she was still determined to overcome, and in time, she pledged herself to the emaciated wolf, and put the Abyss Watchers to rest. In time, she and Hawkwood would fight together and discover the Apostles of the Dragon. And in the end, she honored Hawkwood's wish to die in battle to a worthy foe, although it made her heart heavy. From then on, she was, finally a warrior of the Undead Legion, and she swore to honor their legacy, and her friend Hawkwood. Thank you for reading. Goodnight, and may the flames guide your way.
Absolutely beautiful 💖 I love the emotions this piece brings. Hopeful, yet uncertain, but for now beside the bonfire we can rest and retreat into thoughts of a brighter world that can be achieved on the other side of the blood and battles.
This is really well made wow, beautiful. Could you perhaps consider making something similar in the future but a bit more dark but still melancholic like this. Perhaps using bells and a choir akin to that of the phase 2 Radahn OST from Elden Ring.
Insisted favorite, I'm a huge souls fan and this music should be in a souls game. Gives me this, deep thought, relaxing feeling just like the Dark Souls main theme. It also has this boss fight like theme too, that or a place to recover, learn spells etc. This turned out awesome..well done. Thank you so much for this.
Rest now your souls for darkness shall come. Whence the hero shall battle escape ye’ none. Clad in armor sword in hand. March ye’ fervently hope, hold your stand. The touch of his hands were as cold as his eyes. Lost is the hero, lost is he in despise. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Darkness he fought for all ye’ that frown. Know this now, and heed our warning. You abandon your hero, your only hope of seeing morning. Your fates are now gone, lost to the fury of the broken soul. He is lost, despaired, and no longer whole. Achilles you sought, Achilles you wrought. Your foolish desires, have brought you naught. Sorrowing shall he slay, hallowed shall he trudge. A small whisper from below, just a tiny nudge. Your once hero now only a black sun. Hope and pray for he shall come. Hope and pray…for strength to run. Achilles has fallen, Achilles has darkened. Now evil is all he shall harken. You foolish mortals down below…Your own deaths ye’ have sewn.

God bless you, mate!
You as well. Blessings be onto you.

Fantastic. Dark, yet sacred. Hopeless with a promise of redemption. Masterpiece.
Just like Miyazaki would want it.
I read not hopeless, but the beginning of hope, the beginning to see the light in the never ending darkness.
Another lost sheep with no shepard.

Stay in the fight ✝️
I'm not gonna lie, I clicked on this cause the image of this knight is cool AF.......and the music is excellent too.
I,A image

Me too
Indeed, the music is excellent indeed.
But Which AI did they use to make this ?@@Tsukiyomi-
After a big life disappointment I find this. Time to rest, regather and re strategize and after my thoughts are regathered, it will be time to be resilient!
Your strength and resilience will prevail. Rest up and come back stronger!
The first minute has given me goosebumps. Can't wait for the rest of the hour!
This is beautiful. The visuals. The music. Brilliant.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words! 🙂

Бесконечный
@@arthurchadwell9267 Exactly. The first game I remember playing was Vanguard. Great memories.

I was in a Bad Place today until I listened to this for 10 minutes.
Everything looks Much Better now. Thank you!
Glad to know that my music could be helpful in some way 🙂❤
Most heartbreaking emotional music for a brave knight's death... Exactly what I needed! 🙏🏻
What a beautiful piece you’ve created. Truly an inspiration to all of us ambient music creators and enthusiasts! Bravo!
Thank you so much for yor kind words :)
Glad you enjoyed it
At times in my journeys and battles I have found myself alone in a church. The respite is beautiful. Fresh challenges now come my way. Time to refresh and recoup.
Be strong and courageous 🙏🏼
Truly beautiful music, very soothing.....I love coming home and unwinding to the entire "Souls" series. Well done!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a lot :)

this is the frequency of my soul deep within, even if on the surface there is sunshine, this is my peaceful place. thank you for this.
All heroes need to stop and reflect on themselves and everything around them from time to time. Carry on everybody carry on....

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, my friend :)
This is such an amazing collection of music. I feel like drifting off into all sorts of magical worlds
Fantastic work...I was truly transported to another melancholic world. Thank you!
Thank you! I'm thrilled you felt transported by my music :)
Hauntingly beautiful. Reading to this is perfection.
Going to use this when my D&D players finally enter the ancient emperor's tomb. Great music!

Part of my playlist at the gym 💯
No matter how difficult the day is, music is still a strong source of motivation, helping me overcome all challenges and confidently continue on my path.
Can almost feel the knights pain
omg - i listened to this on headphones - and got goose bumps - so beautiful and when i close my eyes, i'm directly at the firelink shrine. goes under the skin - very very beautiful💗
It's amazing to hear that! Thanks a lot for your kind words ❤

Agora com Dark Souls...
Perfeito.
Que bom que gostou! :)
Obrigado!
This masterpiece is truly brilliant. Bravo!
Thanks for the kind words! 🙂❤
This actually helps me sleep and relax. For some reason.
beautiful sound and relaxing for sleep
El mejor entrenamiento que he hecho, ha sido escuchando está majestuosidad
felt so good to finish dark souls 4 and hear this during the credits
an 10 hours version for sleep would be nice
Awesome work Allan! I love this. Great use of fire, harp and the bell hits to really capture the environment!
Thanks!
Thanks for your support! 🙂
Thank you. This is an incredible composition and has helped me immensely. Blessings🙏
it gives off firelink shrine vibes i love it
Glad you enjoyed it :)

Thank you so much for your kind words! Your feedback inspires me to keep creating! :)
I havent been able to find anything that hits like this I love it so much
Glad I clicked on this RUclips recommendation
God help me
Playing this while exploring Anor Londo is something else.
Finally got a chance to listen at high volume with good bass. Visual is awesome, albeit mostly AI with some very well done editing; the composition & production are equal parts powerful and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your vision with the world
if this is true "Visual is awesome" and this is true "very well done editing" then why does this matter "albeit mostly AI" (even if it is true)?

Literally sounds like you pulled it off the game soundtrack nice job
Glad to hear that! Thank you :)
Very "Dark-Souly and Grim-Dark" Very cool.
Glad to know you enjoyed it :)
Thanks
This music is so good for reflection and work
Um senário muito bonito boa música está de parabéns muito obrigado
Muito obrigado! Que bom que gostou :)
if you are reading this dont you dare go hollow.
Perfect for reading berserk. This is amazing!
Berserk fan here too, glad you enjoyed it! ❤
The music is beautiful! I like the voice echo!
You meant "reverberated vocalizations", right? OK, I know you did.
Yes, it sounds delicious (or enchanting, if you prefer).
Ancient battles fought long ago,,gives time to rest+ponder,,the hero's welcomed home.
I see the Soul of Universe is inside you, let it make you happy and peacefull, like the creations you do🖤
Música top e cenário deslumbrante
Muito obrigado! :)

Perfect for reading Berserk! 📚 This mix is amazing and sets the ideal mood for diving into the story.
I love listening to this while in the depths of Bitterblack Isle.
you have inspired me very much! thank you for your videos, excellent quality always!
Please make more like this :)
Finally, found something just right for reading Malazan Book of the Fallen
Getting smashed by dancer of the boreal valley to this is magical

I'll consider creating a piano version :)
That would be awesome. :) @@AllanArizaMusic
Thankyou for this
Glad you enjoyed it :)
This is a soft and beautiful 🎵 😊❤❤ thanks for letting us hear this! How about a Bleach or a Dragonball meditation song next?😊

This is my absolute favorite from your channel, I'd love more like this. Maybe and Elden Ring themed one with the DLC releasing tomorrow?
Embrace the flame and set forth warrior
This is really well made wow, beautiful. Could you perhaps consider making something similar in the future but a bit more dark but still melancholic like this. Perhaps using bells and a choir akin to that of the phase 2 Radahn OST from Elden Ring.
Thank you for the kind words! I loved the idea! I'll definitely explore that in the future 🙂
Love this music for working.
It seems like the warrior is tired, sitting by the fire to make him feel warmer.

Rest now your souls for darkness shall come. Whence the hero shall battle escape ye’ none.
Clad in armor sword in hand. March ye’ fervently hope, hold your stand.
The touch of his hands were as cold as his eyes. Lost is the hero, lost is he in despise.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Darkness he fought for all ye’ that frown.
Know this now, and heed our warning. You abandon your hero, your only hope of seeing morning.
Your fates are now gone, lost to the fury of the broken soul. He is lost, despaired, and no longer whole.
Achilles you sought, Achilles you wrought. Your foolish desires, have brought you naught.
Sorrowing shall he slay, hallowed shall he trudge. A small whisper from below, just a tiny nudge.
Your once hero now only a black sun. Hope and pray for he shall come. Hope and pray…for strength to run.
Achilles has fallen, Achilles has darkened. Now evil is all he shall harken.
You foolish mortals down below…Your own deaths ye’ have sewn.
nice! Did you write that?
Great music 🎶 I subscribe add more
