O locus ille, beatus quondam, nunc deminuit. Unfortunately that land once blessed now has diminished. Nos destinatae matribus, nunc fiunt turpes.

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.
I second this! I also absolutely adore the main theme and there is nothing wrong with it! but I would also have prefered something like this track to be the tune that bids you welcome.
I take this moment to say that from software really makes the worst screen title menus in video games... If it wasn't for the music it wouldn't convey any sensation
@@joshuangeloWhile I agree that they definitely don't have the most impressive main menus ever made, I also think that less is more when it comes to this topic. Lots of games have simple title screens but they still work despite being so basic looking. Like Skyrim, which has just a dragon symbol in a black screen with smoke effects. Yet those images together with the Dragonborn theme playing are enough to get you hyped. Plus the truth is that we don't usually even spend that much time in the title screen. It's normal that developers don't waste a lot of their budget into something that most players won't look at for more than one or two minutes anyway.
maybe.. a change in menu theme? when you start it's gentle and quiet, you're a stranger in this world but after reaching the platform and having learnt about the tarnish of the golden order, the theme music switches to this
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 *Lyrics here* : czcams.com/video/yethbNL5e6E/video.html
I think more so it’s her race of creatures falling out of favour with the elden ring, and becoming “monsters” in their eyes, mirroring the treatment of many groups and many people as Christianity took over in our world
It gives the same effect of Dark Souls III's Ringed City Epilogue soundtrack, with this soundtrack here being a perfect prologue to Elden Ring's overall story
Greater Will, a God which enslaved an unfortunate planet and its peoples with false hope of life and rebirth. When the Elden Ring was shattered, _It_ condemned them for the sins of _Its_ own vassals. A God which so egoistic punish the entire civilizations because _Its_ own agenda in becoming the absolute God of the World of the Lands Between and the Lands Beyond the Fog failed..
@@MrCdog85 the frenzied flame would only kill everyone, everything, good and bad, and erase all disparities. Ranni's ending seems to be the best, bringing about an age ruled not by gods, but by the mortals that live it out.
@@MrCdog85 because we go along the journey with her as her consort and her equal. It's pretty clear that she's doing this with you by the way she behaves at the end.
@@GwynC That doesn't prove anything at all. Of course she's going to act the way the Tarnished wished to perceive her. We don't know what actually happens after that ending.
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
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?
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?"
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
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.
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!
I think what you mean is that this version oscillates between a sad tone and an almost happy tone to the song in a few moments. I'm no music expert but my guess is that in the first half of each verse, the song uses a minor progression making it sadder, while in the latter half, a major progression makes it brighter and more upbeat. Again, I have very little knowledge about music theory, so this is just my gut feeling lol.

To anyone passing by here, I love reading your comments so much. I wish I could write music for a game like this. If you want to hear some storytelling music, last year I wrote an album titled 'The Untold Story of The Rainmaker', inspired by Dark Souls & Elden Ring.

O locus ille, beatus quondam nunc deminuit, Nos destinatae matribus, nunc fiunt trupes. 오, 한때 복되었으나 이제 몰락한 땅이여, 우리는 어미 되고자 하였으되 그 빛이 이내 바래었도다. Ploravimus lacrimavimusque, sed nemo nos consolatur. Aureum, cui irascebaris. 울고 애통하여도 아무도 위로하는 자 없나니 황금률이시여, 대체 누구에게 이리도 노하셨나이까.
@@anthonyryan6208 Yet the lyrics came before the orchestration. The instruments are an additive to the lyrics. They are directed around and to the lyrics. This/these composer(s) are extremely talented, and this orchestration is certainly no exception - but in this case, they simply added to a song that had no instrumental parts. In Elden Ring, this song appears as just the vocals itself, and nothing more. Its meaning as the "Song of Lament" comes from the vocals. The instruments are merely an additive, meant to compliment the lyrics. Certainly an excellent addition, but without the lyrics, they're - in a sense - incomplete. Perhaps even hollow. Merely an echo of the original song on their own, with less meaning. You're right in the sense that they aren't entirely meaningless. But, again, they are lesser without the lyrics, because they serve that complimentary role - they're not quite self-sufficient. Instruments are excellent tools for expression, but often, the song is more about song instead of instrumental sounds. If it originally had lyrics, then it is lesser without them - and though not necessarily bad, for sometimes "less is more," it is still invariably _lesser_ all the same.
@@khajiitimanus7432 well said, I suppose I just figured there was instrumental in the game. I remembered it that way anyways. But it was probably just the ambience of the game, but in the context of the orchestration the instrumentals are meaningful in itself.
O, locus ille, beatus quondam, nunc deminuit. Nos, destinatae matribus, nunc fiunt turpes. Ploravimus lacrimavimusque, sed nemo nos consolatur. Aureum, cui irascebaris? O yonder place, blessed once, now diminished. We, destined to be mothers, now are becoming disgraced.* We have wailed and we have wept, but no one comforts us. Golden One, whom do you rage against?** *A more accurate translation would be "Now they become disgraced" as fiunt is in the third Person Plural ("they become"). As the previous stanza does, however, denote the first Person Plural (nos), I think it makes more sense lyrically to continue in that fashion. **Cui is in the Dative case, meaning we have to improvise here as the English language does (to my knowledge) not provide us with a verb such as "to rage" or "to hate" that employs anything but the Accusative (to rage against someone, to hate someone). As a German speaker, I incidentally had to think of the verb "zürnen, jemandem zürnen", which would solve this issue as it needs to be coupled with the aforementioned Dative case we see in the Latin original.
Sorry, i stick to the chant. It was beautiful climbing up the precipes and hearing the chanting winged dame sing. It was not background music. Great for immersion. This would "just" be background music.
It would make them angry probably, considering it's painting the "golden one" (whom in the context of this song is Marika, but put into a Catholic scene it would represent God) as a cruel figure who brought despair.
@@grassblock7668 agree. It should be modified to fit a catholic mass. Instead of "Golden One, who are you angry at" it should Say "Lord, have mercy on us". We Catholics believe in a mercyful yet righteous God. "Do not abuse on The Lord's Mercy. God is Justice too".
@@drjuancruz Good idea, also i'm a catholic too, just that I don't go to mass much. Both because the church is stupid far from where I live and because I may worship God (and all the other catholic figures), but church as an institution isn't as holy in my opinion.

The DLC made this song so much more meaningful. It even answered the question of who the "Golden One" was mad at.
Marika deserved better.
This straight up makes me wanna cry when i read the lyrics. How can something be so beautiful and sad at the same time??

Honestly, this needs to be on Spotify.
You deserve far more recognition than you have right now
