Dark Souls - Nameless Song (Extended)

Pretty obvious, and pretty good xD
What is it that makes Dark Souls' music so atmospheric?
And this song, that can summarize the whole experience in just a couple minutes?
Nevertheless, enjoy!!

"My name is Lucatiel.
I beg of you, remember my name...
...For I may not myself..."

[ceshorty]

My grandad was tending to the flames in the fireplace. All day he was saying to my grandmother that he didn't want to get out of there. And he didn't let anyone near the firewood also, otherwise he got mad for no reason. He was very tired and so whenever the fire was fading someone woke him up to keep the fire going. He then took some firewood, placed on top of the fire and tried to keep awake, but he was so very tired that he just went to sleep again and again.

At some point they didn't wan to bother him anymore and let him sleep. He didn't wake up after that. My grandmother probably was there to take him away since she had died ten months ago.

It happened earlier today.

He just wanted to keep the flame going, I guess... This song will forever make me remember that old man who didn't want the fire to fade.

A nameless song...for a brave and nameless undead...
Vereor Nox

[Chronosidious]

The song that tells you: "Yes, you made it...take it all in for a moment..."

[wallpardo]

The song that you hear when you have finally finish your degree...

[TrueUnderDawgGaming]

Some of the most beautiful sounds I've heard. Even more impressive when you consider there's no words. Just sounds.

[mjtechnoviking]

The relief you feel when your first long journey comes to its end. All the hardships overcome. Your task is complete. You may rest.

[theotakuloverndofm]

You enter the game being someone, but when you end it, you are someone completely different

[rakshalneyrak]

This song is so awesome and tragic. It is putting a brave hero to his final rest. He has completed his task. He may now vanish. Which is what he will do. You rekindled the Flame and died nameless. Only fuel for the fire. It will fade again and when that time comes there will be a new hero. One that will have to endure other hardships just like you did. One that will fall again and again, but yet stand up every time and fight for his cause. And in the end, just like you, he will fade into nothingness only to prolong the Age of Fire for some time. His deeds will be forgotten, just like yours. This song is named for you, the first hero that linked the Flame after Gwyn himself did. This song is named after you. But how could you name it? You are forgotten. You have been consumed by the fire. Your friends have gone hollow. The world has given up on you when you became undead. You are none that can be remembered. You are nothing but a hero. A hero for those who know of your deeds, anyway, which almost no one does anymore. So what and who are you? How to name this song after you? It is simple. It is nameless, just as the hero of legend that once died to link the fire, just like Gwyn did. This is your song. The nameless song.

The moment when heading towards Gwyn's boss room. Seeing hills upon hills of ash. Seeing the loyal knights that still stand with him after some many decades, and slowly getting closer to him. Seeing the destroyed buildings that were once inhabited. Now buried under miles of ashes from the ones who linked the fire. Then you finally encounter the god of sunlight and Lord of cinder himself. Lord Gwyn. Protecting the flame from anyone who tries to extinguish it, and seeing how he was one of the first to give his life to make the age of fire last longer. You finally kill the Lord who was afraid of the dark, and your long and unforgiving journey ends between you leaving the flame to die or to rekindle the flame just like what lord Gwyn did.

Prithee be careful, I don't want to see my work squandered.

[matthewfera]

This is quite literally how I fall asleep at night. Such a beautiful, calming, serene piece of music. It captures the essence of the story perfectly. Things are over. They may not be better, but what is done is done, and now you can rest. As in life. We go through our days just trying to make something out of life, and sometimes our efforts seem futile. But at the very least, we can rest. This song just has all of the feelings and emotions of life in it, I think.

Damn. I could go on and on. Sorry. I shouldn't post at 4 in the morning.

[chadholeyjr]

I could not think of a better name for this song even if I tried.

[DominatorHire]

What makes Dark Souls so unique is how broad and wide its world is and the game doesn't shun you from taking any path you want to start with. Lordran is dying, its characters are broken and tired, hope has almost dried up. We are in a world where there is no happy ending in Lordran.

[evgeny]

I eventually get tired of songs... but I can't say the same for this song, it has somthing special, but only who completed and devoted oneself to dark souls can understand the feeling.

[Light-vvdi]

Do many songs in dark souls actually make me want to cry how great they are

[yugiohguyij]

Every foe you faced, Lord, Legend, God and even pitiful undead went onto that fire. Your hopes, your dreams, your aspirations will be the kindling of a second Age of Fire, the dark is held at bay again, by your hands. The Lord of Sunlight... Nay... Lord of Cinder's legacy is in your hands, Chosen Undead. Nito, the Witch of Izalith, Seath, the Four Kings and even Gwyn himself, they all lie in your hands as fuel for this flame. The flame that started everything.

May it guide thee.

playing this song while progressing through Dark Souls III's very first area is such an experience. it makes you play the game a lot slower, and the song gives off a vibe of sacredity, knowing that there are graves belonging to fallen warriors, some of them great champions, who have fallen over time.

[jmaldunate]

Today 28th of march with the second and last DLC of DS3. Is the end of a legend.
Thank you so much Miyazaki. I''ll never forget you work, your art... Thank you.

[derangedrake]

I think the name has more meaning than we may think.
