Bloodborne OST: Orphan of Kos Phase 1 - Extended

Such a beautiful track.

[twistedgwazi]

Oh god, that cello, that solo female vocal line, the soft bass drums, it's all so perfect... this song is SO underrated.

[Quadraxis]

Still gives me chills. Something I love about Bloodborne's design is that there's beauty to be found in the frightening beings of its world. It's a much more sympathetic view on cosmic horror. While Lovecraft really envisioned a lot of the lore behind this stuff as we know it today, there's a big theme of alienation in his work, especially self-alienation of his protagonists, which makes sense given the guy's life, he wasn't a very happy or particularly warm person.
Miyazaki on the other hand twists the idea of eldritch horror and brings a much different feeling to the genre, something closer to an open-minded understanding that even these great beings own their fear and loss like any of us. And holy hell the emotion of that translates so well into the soundtrack.

For a terrifying monster, Orphan of Kos sure has a beautiful boss theme

[Artdude-eywz]

"Ah sweet child of Kos returns to the ocean a bottomless curse, a bottomless sea. Accepting of all that is and can be".

[burritowyrm]

the most hardcore c-section in the world

I'm so glad someone made this extended, I am not kidding this track can honestly bring a tear to my eye its just so beautiful, especially with my interpretation on the lore of the Orphan of Kos.

The feeling of this song is really like the feeling of "The First Hunter" theme when fighting with Gehrman, even the crying voice of Gehrman while asleep is match 100% the crying voice of this Orphan. When you finally defeat this orphan (without killing the wet nurse yet so the workshop didn't burn), turn back to hunter dream, you will hear the dialog of the Doll is telling that "... I can hear Gehrman sleeping. On any other night, he'd be restless. But on this night, he sounds so very calm. ...perhaps something has eased his suffering". Just like you did erase his guilt from the shore while ago from hunter nightmare.

Imagine for a moment, if you awoke, old and shriveled, crawling out of your birthing place, to find your mother already long dead. How would you feel? Angry? Overcome with sadness? Afraid? Imagine turning around and seeing a person, caked in dry blood, with it's iron-like smell thick around them, how would you feel if you saw who you would assume as you mothers murderer? surely you would break? Lash out in rage and anguish at such a plight, hoping for a small semblance of comfort and revenge in your loss.

There's only one word to say here...

[soupahead]

imo, this is a super underrated soundtrack in the soulsborne series and in general. one of my favs :'^)

[ProphetofTables]

This is the Great Ones' equivalent of Guts. Both are born from a dead mother. Both carry gigantic weapons. Both live awful, violent lives where they must fight for their survival from the moment they took their first breath, over something that wasn't their fault.

[psychomonki]

Mercy, mercy for the poor child... :(

Thanks for extending the separate phases of songs and putting them in separate videos. I don't see any other uploaders doing this for souls titles, so I appreciate it. It's especially good for ost's like orphan of kos due to the stark contrast between the first and second parts of the theme.

[diabund]

this boss left such a profound experience on me as a person who's interested in antinatalism. It hit me right in my soul. Birth & life are supposed to be beautiful and blessed. But this thing is anguished for existing. It didn't ask to be birthed. It had no choice and now it's suffering, lost and confused while its mother sacrificed her body and life for it. This is all a nightmare, too. So fitting

[theshadowweasel]

I love this song. It is just the sadness and sorrow this song brings that makes me like it

[dinorex]

Killing the Orphan was possibly the only time where I *knew* I had done the right thing.
And in a game like Bloodborne, that says everything.

[GhostPandaStorm]

Beautiful theme, great boss, and gorgeous boss arena. Just a fantastic way to end one of the great games of all-time.

[gigachad]

Just missing the continuous sounds of screaming

[dheerajs.a]

This phase is a masterpiece in my opinion.

Its always funny how the first times you fight bosses like orphan of kos you cant even begin to have any idea on what to do too but much later were you know every move inside out expecting them wishing for the days you diddint know
