The Dark Souls 3 Composer Yuka Kitamura sang this Main Theme herself if I am not wrong, crazy thing.
Literally false
@@Elieli09 OK
@@Elieli09 Actually, she did the solo parts of the main theme, so it isnt false at all.
@@Elieli09 But...she did🤔
@@Elieli09 She did, look it up.
I feel like the theme is luring us into the game with a promise of grand adventure while at the same time tries to warn us for our infinite demise is right behind the start button. But damn, the most epic main menu theme Ive ever heard.
Btw, the singer is Yuka Kitamura.
It's amazing how this is originally supposed to be the final boss' theme but somehow it still fits in so well as the game's menu theme
THE OPERA VOICE IS THE COMPOSER HERSELF!
Dam woman leave some talent for the rest of us WHAT THE FU CK!!!
hard work not talent
@@Cometkreaturaboth
This game is so amazing. Hard to imagine that it's 7 years old.
hard imagine that its been 7 years :(
It been 7 years…damn
The first game I was able to beat over and over and not get bored of my first comfort game (other than halo 3)
I have to confess. Every time I open that game I have to stop and listen to the main menu theme. It completes the vibes of the game and pace incredibly well with how you experience the game properly. It's a physical journey, a musical journey, and a personal journey all in one game. Every little detail gets really specially purposed down from lore, weaknesses, and even in the songs to bosses, and it's all more storytelling in that way. Songs like the final boss's would reference the final boss of the 1st game's song, and the experienced player would hear that with absolute chills, knowing what that really means. Everybody knows that plin plin plon leitmotif.
I remember the first time I opened this game I was just shocked in such wonderfulness while listening to this intro.
When I beat the first time and listened to it again right after the credits end and the main menu appears, tears came like a river. I had to start a new game right after. I had to.
I really recommend "Slave Knight Gael" next. It combines so well with the main theme. Even so, imo you started with the Magnum Opus of all Dark Souls series.
You HAVE to do Slave Knight Gael next! It fits into this very well. One thing that is worth mentioning with Dark Souls OST is that the songs references other songs from both the same game, but also the other games. If you are going to react to Slave Knight Gael next, then you might find some similarities between it and this.
definitely.
Seconded
C'mon guys!
Vordt!!!
@@robmartin525hell yeah bruther
Ds3 has by far the best ost of the entire franchise
ludwig or living failures is the only thing that sways me over to the bloodborne ost
I'm gonna say it's a tie. DS3 and Bloodborne are both filled with bangers. Lady Maria's theme being a waltz of death, DS3 and Gael (midir too) being grand, soaring tracks of tragedy and violence.
How can you say that when Bloodborne exists.
@@ShaCaro both are done by Yuka kitamura but I do weigh on ds3 over all..
elden ring got better one by far, ost from ds3 are like all the same, in elden u got religion like godskin, mystic with ancestor spirit, bestial with godfrey thye are more uniques
All music coming from Fromsoftware games is amazing, especially the ones from Yuka Kitamura. It catches the epicness and sadness essence of the games.
Thats an understatement of how good the compositions are. If you know enough music theory you can learn the boss's stories and motives by just hearing it.
I remember seeing a comment about this theme song. That this is what the bosses hear when they fight you, I like that
4:11 was honestly my fist reaction after downloading the game 😂
THX for reacting to this Knox ! i finished the souls serie a couple of times! And i never get tired of listening to this masterpiece of an OST. It Just sounds amazing to the ears !
That thing about a greater and a bigger universe that he was talking about, is exactly how I feel about the souls series. How the fuck is he so good about extracting stuff from songs?
it's kind of a universal language
@@Ghorda9^^^^^This. Music is a unique language that I wish more people were willing to learn. If violence is a universal language, then art is the other side of that coin.
It's so cool to see other people expanding their musical knowledge via these games that offer more than just a fun experience but also a music piece that (within the context of the game) tells a story of its own. Hopefully, you will be reacting to more of the Darksouls, Bloodborne & Eldenring games OSTs♪ . They are quite a treat for lovers of Music♪
Glad to see that your channel's back Knox, that was quite the scare
So if no one else has mentioned it, this track was originally meant for a boss (Pontiff Sullyvan) but was later repurposed for the main theme when that boss was downgraded from endgame to midgame.
Makes sense that the Pontiff was originally an endgame boss. Lots of little details in DS3 seem to point towards him being the "main villain" of the game (tho ofc some of it could just be repurposed assets); he was the first Scholar, a mentor to Prince Lothric and thus also the one that managed to convince the prince to not link the First Flame, prompting the resurrection of Lords of Cinder, and ultimately the embers that awaken us, the Ashen One, in a desperate attempt at prolonging the Age of Fire.
Imo, this theme is way too grandiose and big for Pontiff. The theme they settled on for him seems better for his vibe. Maybe that’s cuz I never played the game with this as his theme tho…
@@ObnoxiousNinja99 there's a slightly less explosive version of it called the eclipse king that was his unused version
@@naudio1806 I didn't know that, that makes more sense. Listening to it now, I can see this being more Pontiff's speed/vibe.
Likely then, that when this theme got repurposed, Yuka decided to make it more bombastic (and also cut down the length a bit) as a title theme. From my uninformed perspective, this makes a lot more sense than a literal copy paste from Final boss Pontiff to Title Track.
thanks for the info!
@@ObnoxiousNinja99 As if Pontiff's theme right now is not explosive lol. Have you heard his second phase music?
Yuka Kitamura makes some of the best music of our time, in my opinion.
DS3 was my first entry into the Soulsborn library. I watched my sister play 1 off and on and KNEW they were hard...
When you said you'd be afraid to press the button after this theme... It's funny, I had the SAME reaction.
This song PERFECTLY sets the tone for what you are about to get into.
it's really nice to see that you're interested in the souls ost, there's a lot of good soundtrack... it's worth remembering that boss songs mostly have 2 beats, so if the music changes rhythm.. it's probably the sound of the next boss phase
Finally somebody reacts to this.
Amazing!
I really REALLY want to see you react to Darkeater Midir's theme. Probably the most beautifully designed OST in the game.
There are of course many contenders.
That really is Knox Hill, CZcams. 😂 great orchestral reaction. Not only breaking down lyrics and rhyme schemes, but also production 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s so great to see how you react to this phenomenal music. Great video
Thank you for this reaction man.
This is probably the song frodo listened carrying the one ring into Mordor with all that Nazgul Orcs and stuff :P
Now you gotta do the slave knight gael and all the bosses from ds3 !
My favorite music reactions with my favorite game ever. This is unbelievable
Legend
Wait for it
This theme is basically a final farewell to all those who fought and struggled throughout the series, it's our theme.
My first time hearing it from the start menu, I'm soo hooked, I just let the music repeat 3 times before I eventually pressing amy button.
Great video! can you check out next "Burn My Dread -Last Battle-" from Persona 3? its probably the best song in the entire game and my personal favorite, I bet you'll love it.
The thing that's always cool to me about these themes, and especially the Elden Ring theme, is there is an overwhelmingly menacing tone but there's also a subtle bit of hope in there. The way I think of it is it makes me feel like things are really bleak but there's something heroic about standing against all that. That's what these themes convey to me, there's heroism in standing up in the face of unbeatable odds. Given the type of game it is the soundtrack is so fitting.
I love musicians' reaction to souls music and there's plenty more where this came from. I suggest Abyss Watchers theme (DS3), Ludwig the Holy blade (Bloodborne), and Mohg Lord of blood (Elden Ring). My personal favorites.
Now imagine you open game the first time and THIS starting to play
Damn, i remember watching you reacting to eminem songs, didn't expect a video on the dark souls ost
Knox you gotta give Halo 3 'Finish the fight' song a reaction its AMAZING
You should hear the rest of the songs in this game. And especially in Bloodborne - From Software kills it with the music
Thanks for checking this out. I would HIGHLY recommend listening to the Elden Ring OST as well! The most iconic theme would probably have to be the Godskin Duo OST. If you wanted to do something other then the Main OST. Appreciate you Knox Hill #DMV
Idk about iconic but yeah it's one of the best ost of the game
@@SekayKFP You really don't think it's iconic?? It's the first OST I think about when I think about Elden Ring (besides the Main Theme) It's haunting, chilling and sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it!
@@Shookey idk for me I generally think of either Radagons theme, or Radahn, or Malenia.
@@SekayKFPit’s the most iconic theme behind the title screen one, before the vids were taken down it had the most views of all the ER ost.
@@iamMildlyUpsetWithMostOfYouTub tbh having the highest view count doesn't necessarily mean it's the most iconic, like the other guy said Malenia's sounds more iconic to me. Godskin ost is surely one of the most iconic ones, but THE most iconic is debatable
Slave Knight Gael theme next pls?
Since this is the main theme of the game, hance the Ashen one being ourselves... does this plays while we figth the bosses in theyre perspective?
A completely random recommendation:
You should check Shadow Warrior 2 Main Menu Theme.
I remember when I got Demon Souls free on the Playstation Store...didn't know that you're expected to die in that first boss fight. Felt like an idiot. Haven't tried any of the Dark Souls games, love the music, though!
Thank you for that. "yup, it's still in her system." re: peed your pants. Steve & Robin, Stranger Things season 3, the bathroom scene.
You listened to a video game opening on the last live, too. To Zanarkand. FFX. Love the FF music, Dragon Age, Assassin's Creed, Warcraft...game soundtracks are pretty awesome.
OK, Re: books: Robin Hobb. Her writing is amazing. 💟
There's allot of things that lead to the assumption this ost was ment for a boss fight at some point in development.
Knox you gotta do Elden Ring boss themes next. That's fromsoftware at its OST peak!
Highly recommend Starscourge Radahn from Elden Ring. Such an amazing track. Makes me emotional whenever I hear it.
I highly recommend you Metal Hellsinger OST
I thought I was tripping look at this video thumbnail
bro you would love Gravelord Nito's theme
No one asking for Xenoblade Chronicles 1 Title Screen (with the actual title screen playing for the aesthetic)?
The souls games have some of the greatest songs ever
One of the things I have always noticed with these music/theme react videos are they pause like 10-15 times in between the music. Can't they just listen to the whole thing first and maybe then give their opinions. Would love to see their uninterrupted reactions for a change.
Fun fact: This used to be the final bosses theme before they were scrapped and turned into a midgame boss (Pontiff Sulyvahn used to be the final boss), they thought it was too much of a banger and slapped that shit on the main menu
Knox please check out daddyphatsnaps death song he just put it out today
Would love to see you react to Bloodborne's Laurence, the First Vicar
You should do Dragonborn from Skyrim or The Dragonborn Comes by Malukah!
Look out there's a ghost right behind you!
Ds3 is GOAT-ed
Any chance to see touhou tracks?
You should react to anime sensei rap cypher by gameboyjones
Try Pontiff Sullivan ost or slave knight Gael from Dark souls 3
Most of the Dark Soul 3 bosses have great OSTs and you can somehow can ‘feel’ the story through it
Only four bosses do not match the OSTs or just are relatively weak compared to other OSTs
The original soundtrack of the most evil person in darksoul history, Pontiff Sullyvan.
Man I got slapped so hard by this theme booting the game up for the first time....I had such a moment only three times that I listened to the whole track before starting the game and this was one of them.
Can you react to vico c preguntale a tu papa por mi
fair warning for those who wanted play the game.
the ost actually sums up the whole gameplay, constant struggle, death again and again, and dont forget the rage quit
Who are you? A rapper? Lol
How much overacting?
Knox: Yes.
stop pausing damnit
Interrupt the melody just like that? It's kind of a crime.
what is he supposed to do, not give any input and basically steal the song for a video?
You shouldn't pause it on the buildup or on the intense bits, it ruins the master piece. Pause it after and get lost in the music.
Might as well tell him to stare at a wall and do nothing.
