Elden Ring - Song of Lament (Orchestration) | Arcane Bard Audio

An orchestration of the Song of Lament from Elden Ring. Beautiful song, beautiful game, beautiful bat-lady.

[WardofSquid]

The Latin lyrics of this song make it even more emotional: she's singing about the downfall of the world after the Shattering. The fact that a monster can still sing this really ties back to the FromSoft theme of grace amidst destruction

[AragornElessar-plpc]

O locus ille, beatus quondam, nunc deminuit.
Unfortunately that land once blessed now has diminished.

Nos destinatae matribus, nunc fiunt turpes.
We were destined to become mothers, now become tarnished.

Ploravimus lacrimavimusque,
We lamendted and shed tears,

sed nemo nos consolatur.
but no one consoles us.

Aureum cui irascebaris?
Golden one at whom you were angry?

[patronsaintofprocrastination]

As much as I love Elden Ring's menu theme, something like this would honestly have been better. It perfectly fits the bloody world you're about to enter, and tells you in few words about how much needless suffering occured in it.

[osherparyente]

The "Aureum, cui irascebaris?" Is genuinely heartbreaking.
Sounds like "what did we do to deserve this?, who in this entire world has angered you oh great god?"

[Mrcapo]

This straight up makes me wanna cry when i read the lyrics. How can something be so beautiful and sad at the same time??

[lorisceleste]

O how blessed was the land,
now lying in ruins

We, destined to be mothers,
are now tarnished

How we cried in despair

But no one came to comfort us

O Golden One, who enraged you so?

[Borebones]

Dear lord, this is good.

This is insanely good.

[Ale-ddek]

The DLC really told us a lot about Marika

[xvrype]

came here from vaati, man i love this so much, would love to see a video maybe breaking down some of the decisions like instrumentation and harmonisation for the arrangement^^ would be super interesting

[glorytoukraine]

You deserve far more recognition than you have right now

[DakimakuraThief]

Bro this shot got me tearing up and giving me ptsd about these enemies

[rangopistacho]

this is what should of played for the credits of the game

[jimjomgilbus]

I love what you did with tribute from the Elden Beast's theme, adds a whole depth to the music-storytelling

[Williamsweeb]

I have read many Elden Ring lore this week after finishing the game. And this song just hit hard.
At first I look at the Elden Ring symbol and think of it as circles of lifes, consequences, orders or something but now They look just like rings of shackles of false God and punishment

[amrienwinterweiss]

I just want to say this is amazingly done. Like I was trying to piece it together myself but this rendition just amplifies the despair and suffering the creatures of the Golden Lands Between have suffered under such tragedies of the land.


Well done. You made me tear up with just how sorrowful every note FEELS. Thank you.

[berto_Cls]

This is one of the most beautiful things I found on youtube till this day

[mrcrowley]

This version gives another vibe i did not feel in other covers and specifically Alex Roe's version!
I enjoy both for their own take and cannot chose a favorite hahahaha
Brilliant work! you earned a listener and a subscriber!

[El_Shimo]
