Finally getting around to uploading the OTHER Elden Ring song! This appeared last year on Modern Mythology after I had finished Elden Ring wound up completing the game for the first time by the side of Ranni The Witch, conquering for the glory of a cold dark moon. Ranni's story unravels slowly and subtly, most of it completely unseen to me the first time I looted an item off of her sacrificed body or heard her voice call to protect her own mother. She's a reluctant goddess, a powerful being who pulled strings across thousands of years to undermine her father's godhood, and yet still a lost child in search of friends to watch the end of the world as she knows it. This song hopes to capture a piece of her bittersweet story throughout the course of Elden Ring.

Lyrics:

Where life as an unwilling angel starts
I end
Forgive my intrusion but grace is won
With friends
I'll upturn the roots that withhold this
Shattered place
In cold absolution I carve
My unbound face

Mother have you lost your way
The skies are crumbling as I pray
Shine moonlight from where you are
To guide me by the falling stars

Through golden oblivion I have held
So far
And died for traversal beyond the place
We are
I've cut the soul out of my chest to
Heal this land
I'll sever the fingers to let go of
These hands

Mother have you lost your way
The skies are crumbling as I pray
Shine moonlight from where you are
To guide me by the falling stars

My father's blood boils in my veins
For I have forsaken our name
To tarnish the glow of his golden order
Forgive me for what I have done
The catalyst I have become
To birth a dark moon as these lands grow colder

Mother have you lost your way
The skies are crumbling as I pray
Shine moonlight from where you are
To guide me by the falling stars

During the fight with Astel, I grew so mad that I got miniature Ranni and said, *get the frick up Ranni, I need help fighting a skeleton with grapes as it’s tail*

Some (as light on spoilers as possible, trying to avoid what wasn't mentioned in the song already) context for those who haven't played:
The Golden Order is a group arguably led by Queen Marika / Radagon. Though who actually pulls the strings are outer gods.
Or something they call gods, though they are more like eldritch conquerors.

The Carian family was opposing the golden order initially and couldn't be stopped by forceful attempts from the Golden Order,
so by Radagon marrying Renala (the woman here 1:39) they achieved some semblance of peace.

But because the scheming never ends, Radagon left Renala, causing Renala to lock herself away inside of the Raya Lucaria Academy.
There is still a statue of him inside of the library (as seen here 0:24).

The song is from the perspective of Ranni (5:04), the daughter of Renala and Radagon. She was supposed to be one of the empyrians, so candidates to take the throne when the time comes.
Though Ranni didn't agree with the doctrine of the golden order. Abandoned her flesh (3:02), pulled a coup which brings us to the present state of affairs where the game starts off.

There is more detail to it but I think that's the gist of it.

This sounded so familiar at first until I realized that I heard this months ago lmao. Still a banger and glad I listened to it again

[Gryphon_]

"Mother have you lost your way?"
"The skies are crumbling as I pray"
"Shine moonlight from where you are"
"To guide me by the falling stars"
My most favorite lyrics in any song ever❤🔥

I will never forget how I got goosebumps when I first heard this track at the premiere stream. I was at my long distance partner's house at the time and good lord, this song was pretty much the soundtrack of that trip. The whole album held up too but Falling Stars continues to absolutely stun me every single time. It has made it up there with my very favourite of tracks. I absolutely adore this song and it makes me think of my precious boyfriend and that particular visit. This being the first Aviators upload of 2023 is so fitting seeing as this year I will be moving in with my boyfriend. God, thank you Aviators. ❤️

love how all the elden ring songs have a close feeling to them... like we're being told shards of this grandiose story through the snippets of bards far and wide...

[marie-helenecarron]

The music video+the song itself= another masterpiece

[StyleshStorm]

The last part of vocal chorus ending on a gothic piano note. I truly adore the stars * Darkmoon ending the most. Something about celestial cosmic characters do something special for me.

Let’s my favorite song from Modern Mythology 🎉 This is the testament to how creative and beautiful musics created by Aviators is

[oncerepublic]

I was playing a game, saw a notification from Aviators, opened it, new song, listened, loved, added on everything!!

Aviators, never stop please, your music, is the voice of the heavens.
Beautiful film clip too, just astounding! <3

[FurryEncyclopaedia]

May the cold moon of Ranni guide the future, may the full moon of Rennala anchor the past, may the shattered black moon of Nokstella remind us that nothing last forever.

May the Aviators receive more recognition for these amazing songs.

[Meldiocre]

“Sever the fingers to let go of these hands” is bars upon bars upon bars. Like… stop it with this. You’re too amazing.

[poisongoose]

I've been listening to your music since Constellations, and i mainly just listen to your music these days. Thank you for making such amazing music for us. It's all truly breathtaking.

[Game-BeatX]

Never played Elden Ring, but I still love this! Your music is so cinematic and takes me to another world.

[Clamslacker]

I had a feeling there was gonna be another Elden Ring song today, it's really great!

[georgelee]

This song is my new favorite song from Aviators. The music, lyrics, and singing are off the charts in terms of beauty. Aviators never misses.

[audreyv]

Your songs are my cure for my depression. Thank you for existing in this world

[pedr]

The starting piano tune made me think of Moonlight Sonata. Kinda fits the topic of Lunar Princess and Queen. Also never played any souls games before but a friend of mine has. Now we are co-op running with the multiplayer mod and Elden Ring has been so fun. Glad to see one of my favorite music creators make jaw dropping music for it.

[FynnGledeson]

My mother always would tell me I love you more than the moon and the stars, and she passed a few years ago, the first year I repressed it and after and ever since I couldn't and I've been healing. As soon as you said mother have you lost your way, I started crying because she was losing her mind to a tumor.. thank you for spreading the miracle of music

[ReikaLady]

I've loved this and We Rise, hope you're inspired to write more of these.
