- This happens only in act 1 in the camp that is outside in the wilderness. The song is called "I want to live" and the lyrics just kill my soul every time! 🌹
You can hear the original song on the composer's channel - • Baldur's Gate 3 - OST ...
This video is the second place that you can hear the song • The second place with ...
Here's the text cuz we all need it , right! I'm just sorry I didn't record the whole song, but load the game in act one and go explore for yourself!
Lyrics:
I feel your breath upon my neck,
a soft caress as cold as death.
I didn't know you well back then,
I blame it all on luck and vain.
Your blood like wine, I wanted in,
oh darling, get me drunk and make me feel!
It's not my fault,
I'm not to blame,
These ain't my sins,
I broke my chains!
There's more to do
and I still want to live.
I feel your breath, upon my neck,
a soft caress, as cold as death.
I feel your heart-beat in my soul,
our futures bound, our bodies know.
Your blood like wine, I wanted in.
Oh darling get me drunk, Invite me in!
It's not my fault,
I'm not to blame,
These ain't my sins,
I broke my chains!
There's more to do
if I can only live.
I can't go yet,
Don't let me die!
I'll never stop,
Until I'm done!
But just tonight
maybe I'll rest in peace.
I feel your breath upon my neck,
a soft caress as cold as death.
I hear your heart-beat in my soul,
our endings bound, our bodies know.
I can't go yet!
Don't let me die!
I want to live!
My only one!
There's more to do, if we can only live.
The clock won't stop and this is what we get...
Check out my other videos if you are curious for different scenes. Let me know if you are curious for any scene that you can't find and I will post it for you. I've recorded pretty much all conversations with Astarion.
Also I have to say that the actors in this game are amazing!
Thank you for watching this and come by to my stream on Twitch sometimes (Every Tuesday 20:30 CEST)!

BG3 writers: we don’t play favorites with our fictional babies
Also BG3 writers: write a song that’s blatantly about an Astarion romance and insert it into the game lol
And then deny at every occasion that it's Astarion's 😁🖤
If I remember correctly Astarion was one of the first characters they wrote, and the writer of Astarion was the same that wrote DarkUrge story (this is why there are more interactions between durge and Astarion than durge and other characters)
@@Mirimes Good to know! 🖤
@@MirimesI don’t blame them. He’s a supremely well actualized character. Most writers dream of getting the chance to work with a story that involve complex characters with backstories that good.
@@Mirimes Cool!
"Astarion, why are there two bards behind your tent? Do they just travel with us as your personal band?"
😁
Well, Dark Urge gets a butler, apparently Astarion gets backup singers 😂
@@vee1267 Hahaha! True!
"Did you get a sunstroke, dear? What are you talking about?" Astarion attempts to discreetly look over his shoulder, but it's evident from his exaggerated, somehow unconvincing grimace that he's trying too hard to appear intimidating. His eyes nearly squint with the effort. You catch his lips moving just slightly, whispering to someone, "Guys, please! Be more careful!" Or should that be to some-one-two?
“They were forced to eat the minstrels and there was much rejoicing.”
Astarion having emo bardcore on repeat in his tent is entirely in character
Haha, it is indeed
I don't know if I'll ever get past describing that song as emo bardcore because that's exactly what it is lmao. Thanks for the laugh. :)
The song is called “I Want to Live” for anyone who wants to know, so much of the soundtrack for this game is pure emotion
I agree, emotions and feelings are nestled very deep in each song... 🖤
P.S. I think I left the name of the song in the description 😉
I think one of the VA's or devs mentioned that the song is for us, the player, our own nice little song ❤
@@resonatinglo oh, sorry to throw the name when you already did it
I think this also plays during the epilogue.
@@Superdonkothis plays all the tome inluding a faint version wich can be heard in most camps
Astarion is clearly the devs favorite. He’s literally front and center of the picture.
Clearly 🌹🖤
Rightly so
@@MissGlassButterfly 🌹😁
That's actually our fault as players. We're the ones who gave them the feedback and we were the ones who were clearly all about this man. They just took that information and ran with it. 👀
@@MizuMing you say that like it's a bad thing 😏
You also encounter this song on the transition from act 2 to 3 if you go to the lookout in the camp. Beautiful.
Whaaaat! I was there just last night and didn't happen. Now I need to find it!
Reload 4h of gameplay to find a song... 🖤
yes i found it too. at the cliff when facing the city
Yep, that's where I first 'found' this song too. Has to be on that small rock outcropping that overlooks the city as far as I'm aware. But the lyrics certainly do imply they were for Astarion.@@resonatinglo
I remember just sitting at the spot just to listen to the song
@@resonatinglo That's basically how my playthrough is going. Reload to a much later save just because I messed up :')
He really is the poster child of BG3. He has a lot of work put into his character, with little extra tidbits that the other characters don't have. Personally, I'm not complaining as I'm romancing him and love his character.
I also think that his is the deepest story. Also the most relatable to real world person. The abuse, breaking of chains, revenge... being afraid to be loved again... all are super real things...
Unlike fucking a goddess and her putting a magical orb in you 😄... A little less relatable imho 😊
Sadly it's kind of killed my enjoyment of his character, I personally began liking Gale a lot more as I went in thinking, 'I only see Astarion so ig I gotta like him.' just to meet Gale and become infatuated. And frankly, I'm kind of mad that Astarion has so much to him, it really took away from other characters like Wyll (WHO ONLY HAS 8 HOURS OF CONTENT APPARENTLY, COMPARED TO ASTARION WH OHAS 12.)
He is also the literal main character on the artwork for the game haha
@@j42827 the huh? He’s not the ‘main character’ that’s not what that term means.
@@backpack_hermit25 I mean on the poster, he’s bang in the centre. All my friends thought he was the main character because of this lol
POV you're spying on the vampire
Turnas out this is just Astarion singing in his head. Tav is listening in
Hahahaha! This is so cool. It makes sense this to be Astarion singing to himself! Wow, you blew my mind! 🌹🖤
Me: Trying to live my life after Astarion’s romance.
CZcams: Psst, girl, Astarion is even more fabulous than you thought. Here is the vid.
Aww, my heart! 🖤
I can't live my life without Astarion in my life any more... I know what you mean! 🌹
The same thing, I love him with all my soul, to the point that I want to scream! I am so sorry that none of my friends played BG3 and I have no one to pour out my soul about my love. This game is driving me crazy, but I'm so happy about it.❤❤
@@rin590 I can be your friend that you pour your soul about the game into. I love it immensely! I am at 460+ hours and I can't stop romancing Astarion in every single playthrough 🖤⭐🌹
@@resonatinglo I would really like to, but English is not my native language (I use a translator) and I don't even know how we could contact. What social networks do you use? If it works out, I would be very happy
@@resonatingloand I’m so happy that I’m not alone in this feeling.
I had no idea this music had lyrics and..... Fuck they scream "Astarion" so much I almost cried. I love him so much
Gods, samee! Every time I listen to this song I wanna cry too and tell him that it's gonna be ok... 🖤💔🌹
The best part about this song is how it applies perfectly to both Astarion and the Dark Urge, redemption arc specifically. In my head, it's their love theme.
@@kittyfootsies Aww... the more I think about it and read comments, the more I feel it's for the Dark Urge and not specifically Astarion. BUT I think it plays at his tent because they have a close relationship from the very early access of the game and he has the most dialog about DU... so makes sense.... DU to be in the back of his mind/behind him...🗡🍷🖤
Astarion may be the poster child, but honestly Neil is also truly the most passionate about this project specifically. It always feels like he was so deeply intimately connected to this development of this game and character. Him and his writer are buds now haha
You can definitely see the passion in Neil when he explains and when he talks about the game... we could also see it in their dnd campaign that they did... he is an awesome Astarion!
I'm such a sucker for a rogue with a tragic backstory.
I never liked them... until now....
@@resonatinglo We're finally getting some love haha.
I love Astarion, but nothing beats Zevran. Was first, stay first.
Yeah like i never saw the facination with vampires till astarion came along and stole my heart
@@IDKwhyimhere675 Same... same...
I want a music box playing the melody. That would be the coolest merch.
Gods, yes! I will see what I can do about it!
I mean, it’s a simple melody and I *technically* know how to reprogram a mechanical movement… 🤔
It’s just a matter of finding a preexisting mechanism in the right key.
@@GreebleClown Let us know when you do it so we can buy some boxes from you
@@GreebleClownjust use some music box mechanisms with paper tape with holes. There is a lot of different tunes for that mechanism. Try Grand Illusions 30 firstly.
@@GreebleClownthere are three ways I can think of:
1) There are pre-existing 30-ish paper sheet music box, where you hole punch your own sheet.
2) There are « play any music » electronic music box (physical action, but the drum can take any shape).
3) You could make your own drum, but are there any tutorials on that?
I had no idea you could trigger this song so early. I didn't get to hear it until the credits. It's so lovely.
Happy to help! 🔥
In ***(fixed)Wrym’s Crossing camp, go to the cliff that looks at the city. You can trigger this song, too. It’s so beautiful. When I have things to do at home that can’t wait, I’ll put my player there to hear it again. ❤
At least a few times a day I listen to it! Love the part where the female voice starts to sing... I have to do a cover or something with it... 🤔 Just love it so much! Every lyric is so Astarion that my heart can't bear it! 🖤🌹⭐
It definitely sounds like it has a lot to do with Astarion initially, but closer analysis and the song relates to every companion greatly in many ways.@@resonatinglo
Omg where is this cliff in the lower city?? I need to know 😭😭
@@conancatWhen you “go to camp” from the Lower City area. If you “go to camp” from the Upper City you’ll end up in the inn.
Once you’re at the outdoor camp, go towards the barn with the pets but make a left before you get to it. It should be back there iirc.
@@Midori_Seabreeze ohhhh okay!! Got it, I'll try it out, thanks!!
The person who wrote Astarion’s character and romance is the same one who wrote Fane’s if I’m correct. Which makes so much sense, since Fane is 100% the best character is DOS:2.
Fane is the main character of DoS2 like Durge is the main character of BG3, love them both
That honestly makes complete sense. Fane is also an undead... who was *also* imprisoned in a tomb.
And people say I Want to Live isn't Astarion's theme. It is to me, even if not official.
It is to me as well, no matter what people said. It seems that the song was written 3 years ago for him, but eventually they have added it as a main "theme song" and I guess now they are not allowed to say it's his specifically, and they need to say it's a general song from the soundtrack 🤪
Exactly! It was originally composed for him, it is his. No arguments.
I mean, looking at the lyrics, it's hard to argue otherwise. He's the ONLY character they fit too, not just that, but they fit *perfectly*, too litteraly for it to be an accident.
@@Kanikanihia The lyrics still feel explicitly tailor made for him, but apparently it's Tav's theme, some say the entire party's theme. Huh???
@@Hadeshy Indeed 🔥
Kinda makes me sad that there is no more such songs for other characters
YEEES! Very sad. I'm not even sure if this is specifically a song for Astarion, but the fast that it's hidden behind his tent and the talks about blood and necks makes me feel that it's for him. 🖤
@@resonatinglo it's about the player according to the songwriter but I mean- it sounds like a Durge x Astarion song xD
@@resonatingloit's a sad song that's for Karlach's sad ending. I won't spoil it.
@@kevlap017 Oooo, dont please. I have not explored Karlach's story yet! Some day... hopefully soon I will be done with Astarion stuff and will start uploading some red hotness 🔥
@@ferael0013 I 've been told that there's a tweet about it... but Everything in my body tells me that this is Astarion's song... maybe for some NDA stuff Larian asked Borislav Slavov to write that tweet, but from everything else.. I mean it's hidden behind him... It's like you hear him sing it to himself...
I will never believe that this song is for us! Sorry 😁
Good lord, between this and the House of Hope fight song, I wonder how many other hidden songs are in this game?
In some moments I would prefer the Raphael's song. It's just so so good! This one is so so good for different reasons and hits different feels, but they are definitely on the same level! Great soundtrack from Borislav Slavov! 🖤
This vampire also can sings. Bloody hell, now Astarion even more reminds me of Spike from Buffy.
😁
This! There are quite a few parallels betwen them. 😊
He’s so Spike coded
Except with less SA
@@Cowboy_FrogProbably just as much but, well, towards Astarion. His history plus something the player can do to him both are SA.
I love this song. As if this game didn't have me in a vice grip already, they go and throw in absolutely hauntingly beautiful music. I've always been easily moved by music.
So true! The music is amazing! I listen to it on a daily basis while I do chores during the day and I can't play. The Astarion song always grips my heart and wants me to hug him to death! 😊⭐🖤
I can’t get over how incredible Old Time Battles is.
This game is one of the precious gems which allows to have beautiful stuff hidden to find or not.
In many other AAA titles you are just force-steered to explore every bit of content, because they have so little.
So true! Thank you! 🔥
Hidden gems like this is why I love this game
Yeeesss! Literally without an exception , on every new playthough I make, I find something new, even tho I thought I know everything by now with 480+ hours in the game lol
Ya know if you wanted to see what he was reading you could've just asked him instead creepin behind his tent.
Hahahaha! True... true... I will be more considerate the next time! 😊
oh, this must be what i heard Neil mumbling on a stream once
Probably. But Neil likes to sing, so it can be anything. 😊
“I didn't know you well back then.” Break my heart every freaking time...
😔
I remember triggering this song just before Act 3. You can hear it by going up to the stone ledge overlooking the city. My morally gray player character was in conflict trying to decide what she wanted for her future and this was also the first time I asked Astarion what the relationship meant to him, with him asking if you're not a victim, what in the world could you be? Which really fit for the backstory I had in my mind for her. Anyways, I'm nearing the end of the game and she decided that all she wants to do is live a safe peaceful life.
Which will probably be spent in the underdark helping Astarion from keeping the vampire spawn from committing mass murder, lmao.
😁😁🖤🖤
Over 1.4K hours played and I'm still learning new stuff. This game is amazing, one for the ages.
I think Astarion's story is just beautiful, would make a great movie if done well. Exceptional lore.
Thank you for posting this! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Aww, awesome comment. I have 700+ hours and still haven't seen a lot of the SH and Gale's stuff... I mainly focus on Astarion... but I do still find new things that amaze me.
I know the feeling. You are very welcome! Happy to help 😊🌹🗡🍷🖤
U guys have issues.
@@Thz333 I agree ... I do have a lot of issues 😅
omg its true. I wondered what triggered this song once in the very beginning of my first playthrough. couldnt found it out. in the beginning I packed some barrels etc on that rock for different storage. now it makes sense! thank you!
btw this is totally Astarions song. no doubt.
Aww, you are welcome! Glad to help and show anything Astarion related 🌹
So ik this video is quite old now but!! if no one has said it: this is actually Tav's song!
It's been confirmed by the composer over on his twitter
Not only that. In his interview with Dan he explained how they wrote it with the writer of the lyrics, that he gave her instructions and then received the lyrics, made the music and was like "heck it, i will sing it myself" and then in my interview with the female vocal - ilona, She explained that when they recruited her, this was her first task/audition to sing a female part in that song and she did and they released the song with her audition, or with her very first try of the song.
It's quite a story this song. For me it mostly fits the Dark Urge, but then Astarion and Dark urge have the closest connection, so there are references to both. You can try and fit all the characters, and you probably would... maybe you can fit someone's real life in... I can fit in some of the lines myself...
So yes, it is old and back then it was known as the secret Astarion song, so I left it like that , so the people can know it's that song.
I suppose eventually I will change the title to just "A secret song on a cliff" 😅🔥
@@resonatinglo It definetly fits Astarion and Durge a lot!!! I think if you imagine Durge as the "true" Tav then the song fits SO much!
I read too that quite a few people thought of it as Karlach's song which is interesting!
@@CallMeW00F For me DUrge IS the true Tav. I think this was the original intent of the game - all companions and we play as DUrge... and then from all the feedback in Early access they change it to a DU to be chosen and regular Tav for the players.
But that's why the game fits Durge so much, because that was the original Tav...
Of course the song was meant for the player's character, so it stayed as a main theme, but it was not written for ANY Tav...
As for Karlach, I just could not see it... Skin cold as death and blood like wine, just don't fit Karlach at all 🤪🔥🍷
@@resonatinglo I 1000% agree on Durge being the intended backstory for Tavs before becoming an "origin" character!!
And right!? I can't see it at all but apparently enough people thought so for the composer to recognize it in the tweet addressing the song! (along with recognizing Astarion as the suspected owner of the "theme" lol)
@@CallMeW00F Yep and still they ask the composer in every interview - "Is this really not Astarion's song" ... "Like are you sure it's not his, mr Composer..."
When I was doing the interviews with the two female vocals of the game, soo many people left a question for me to ask - "Is I want to live Astarion's song" like, ask the lady who sings it... she might know better than the composer...
Fucking. Amazing. I love it.
Right. I was shocked and amazed as well. And of course tried to find the song in all of the other campsites we have... to no avail. 🔥🌹🖤
I accidentally discovered this when I saw Scratch going up onto that little ledge. I decided to join him, maybe throw his ball, and almost jumped when the singing started! Definitely one of my favorite camp songs😊
One of my fav-s as well! It's so cool that you found it out accidentally... I wish I did as well... but many many secrets have already been found and circling around in the bg3 groups... 🙈
I think every major camp location has a spot that triggers this, always somewhere most people wouldn't go
I tried... I tried for most of the camps in act 1, but could not find any other
I absolutely adore this song. I've heard it before but I never knew that it plays within the camp if you go behind his tent!! Thanks for this!
Really deep and sad song honestly! Happy to help 🖤
For clarification about this song, since a lot of folks are trying to ascribe it to Astarion himself, this song also plays if you go to the overlook of Baldur's Gate during the Act 3 prologue camp. The composer himself has said on twitter that it's not about a specific character, but more about the Avatar/Whoever is being played. It's intended to be about the player!
There's the theory tho - The story is a bit different. Astarion, Shadoheart and the Dark Urge were the first characters written... maybe Lae'zel is also close... but originally Tav(we) were supposed to be just a Dark Urge, kinda forced to play that story and have urges throughout the game... SO this song was written back then like 4 years ago... this song is for the Dark Urge more and Astarion a bit less, but he goes in very well as well. I just didn't know that back when I made the video and we are just rolling with it. But it's should be for the "player" who was supposed to be a Dark Urge...
I know, a bit of a trip down the lane...
He only said the song was "for you, the player" because people were asking him if it was about their favorite companion. He said he wanted it to comfort everyone throughout their journey. But the song was confirmed to be written about Astarion's story years ago. Astarion's actor posted about it and the composer responded. To me saying it was "for you, the player" is just a diplomatic answer so no one is disappointed if they initially liked the song because they associated it with a specific character. But beyond it already being confirmed to be about Astarion before people started arguing about it the lyrics don't really leave room for doubt when they talk about drinking someone's blood like wine lol.
the song is amazing, thanks a lot for sharing this!
I love it as well so so much!
Thank you for being here and commenting! Appreciate the support! After all we all love those beautiful pale pixels and want more content related to Astarion ! 🌹🖤
I had this song start playing at the Tiefling party, after finally triggering into the first romance dialog with Astarion. I thought it was just related to locking onto a romance. Lovely track, too.
Yep. It is all over the game indeed, but without the lyrics. 😊
I remember finding out and immediately making a TikTok video because I was in shock that such a small detail could be missed and needed eveyrone to know. Now when playing multiplayer we just sit on the rock if someone's afk
Aww, so sweet! 😊🖤
I recently sang the song when I felt really sad. I knew it was his song. But I never knew you can do this in the game and listen to it. Thank you 🖤
Much love! 🖤
more amazed you managed to get Lae’zel to stop weapon grinding long enough to hear it 😂
GODS! THANK YOU for noticing that. I hate that in act 1... sometimes I just go and shove her somewhere , just so I can record my scene... gods I hate that grinding sound...
@resonatinglo Solution: take all her bladed weapons away. It works!
@@andybodle7560 no way... does it?... ok thanks, next time I will do it! 😊
you can also play as laezel to get her away from her tent lul @@resonatinglo
WAT. jfc. I have played through several times and am STILL finding/seeing new things. Larian really nailed rpgs.
Nice, I love it when this happens. I also still find small things here and there that make me wanna shout out this game to the world... Larian are the best indeed!
The amazing thing is that they actually write AMAZING SONGS that you can just walk by and never hear ...
They are amazing songs indeed. I love when songs have orchestra in them, it makes them fuller and deeper...
now listening to this lyrics no one can change my mind - it's Astarion + Durge romance song. lyrics just fit perfectly
Right, It was originally written for Durge anyway and Astarion is just as close to durge as can 🌹🍷
It works even when Astarion doesn't have his tent there. Tried with origin.
Right, good to know... But the song is there because his tent "should" be there. Thanks 🔥
@@resonatinglo Definitely. It would be sad if it didn't play just because origins don't have tents.
Wash my pain away is my favourite, closely followed by Old Time Battles. So emotional, so evocative.
It is brilliant writing... the words seem simple but the whole concept is much much deeper
Borislav Slavov is the GOAT ❤
HE IS INDEED! Divinity's OST was great, but this one is just so deep and amazing! I love all of the lyrics songs and many of the melody only ones! 🔥🔥🔥
@@resonatinglo Lohse's song and Rivellon are soooo good in DOS2
@@Krovos_ I knowww! I have them in my games playlist! I love the theme DoS2 song as well, in the main menu!
I NEED TO TRY THIS
🔥
I didn't realize this was how you found this song. I love this so much.
Right, it's so cool 🖤
Ohh, excellent find! I really do need to explore around the camp more carefully. XD
I am amazed every time I make a new playthgough I find something new... there's so much in this game 🖤
You can find this song at an observation point in the camp at the beginning of Act III, before you meet the emperor in combat!
True, true. But act 3 was added with release where this was there from early access 3 years ago and it took people a lot of time to find it. It was requested as an easter egg from the music director and composer of the soundtrack to be put there.
You can hear it in act 3 and in the credits if you listen for that long. But here it's hidden 🤭
This gives me so much validation for all the times i reloaded my quick saves over and over again to make sure i got the piano instrumental version of this song in camp scenes with astarion
there are 2 camp versions and the actual song (only when you are on the cliff)
Yeah! I always thought the camp versions suited his scenes perfectly, had no idea there was this version proving my instinct right
Wow. This game is so jam-packed with extra stuff. You could play it 10 times and never find it all. I love it. 💙
Same. I am at 510+ hours and still find new stuff from time to time. 😇
Nearly 700 hours and still new stuff cropping up. The game is fire.
This song just makes me feel so much I absolutely love it so much
Now I know that the composer requested this to be there. Makes me so happy too 🖤
It would be so cool if they did this with each companion :0
Right, yeeeah! Such a great idea! 😊
Woah had no idea this existed! Man I love this game. I’ve never played with more content and little secrets like this.
Same! I know! And on top of all the secrets and so many many paths and things... the feels. It makes me wanna cry and care for the characters so so much. I feel like reading a book , but better cuz I can see what happens with everyone and I can play a few different "books" . It's just so so cool! 🌹
I thought this was so cool when i first heard this! I just sat and listened :) I didn't realize it was location specific, but I was defintely at that rock
The rock rocks!
One of the fave songs from the soundtrack
Same, one of my fave as well... It was the first one I heard and I was mesmerised and gutted and crying and heartbroken and wanted to play the game so so bad, but waited until full release and then looked for the person who wants to drink blood like wine and has skin cold as death... I think I found him... 🍷🗡🌹🤭
Astarion casually reads while you eavesdrop on the song in his head.
😁yep... he and his book...
Astarion is the real mc on this game❤
🖤I agree🖤
My favorite part in the whole game is driving a stake right through his heart. Such enjoyment. 😊
The scene is good, yes. I even had Lae'zel do it when I was recording the bite all companions scene... the rest are like ... meh... and then he bites Lae'zel and she just staked him...
I found this by accident. I stopped everything I was doing and just stood there stunned. I almost started crying. What a beautiful Easter egg.
Aww. This account appreciates it a lot that you found it and hopes to bring you more tears from the BG3 Astarion's almost archive.
Thank you!
Oh I love it! Spotify playlist, in you go.
Indeed. I have most of the soundtrack in my spotify list 😊
This game is incredible.. I haven’t been this attached to a game in such a long time.
Same... the last game that I played every day for months and gave me the same feeling was back in the day D2. And I've played D2 all my life... and now I have this feeling that I will replay this game all my life to see everything
This reminded me I keep wanting to match characters in my fandoms to Kimmo Blom and Annica Milán's "Good Enough", and the lyrics of that song fit Astarion surprisingly well. The chorus, just sayin'...
_We all believe we're stronger_
_If we hold it in a little longer_
_Trying to hide behind a lie_
_Keeping everything locked inside_
_When only silence haunts you_
_And no one really understands you_
_Pick yourself right back up_
_You're better than just good enough_
Nice, good one.
I find many songs fit... i think it's because his story is something we can relate to much more than any other character... and those chains, lies, master can be metaphorical for many things that happen in our lives... the things we keep inside, hide from, the things that cage us...
🌹
When hes just vibing to medieval times version of "bad day"
Haha, Indeed
Reading the lyrics to this song it reads like a medley for all the companions. Every line fits the story of individual main companions.
True even tho back then only 3 of all the companions were known and written , but our mind can fit a lot more than anticipated in the beginning of course 😉
@@resonatinglo that makes sense! I'm not sure who the original 3 were, but the lyrics definitely shouted Astarion, Karlach, and Shadowheart at me.
@@dumortemontal2122 I think Astarion and Shadowheart and Gale were the first and Dark Urge. All those were there 4-5 years ago when the song was written
The amount of Easter eggs and secret content in this game is outstanding
It is mind blowing. I know... Every house in act 3 has something...The Shadowlands not so much , but act 1 and act 3, just amazing
Beautiful
You are beautiful!
My favorite song from the soundtrack. This song in the final credits had me crying 😭
The final credits song is called "The Power". This one is "I want to live". But yes, it's my favourite as well from all the lyrical songs of the soundtrack! Giving us a deep and sad story... with some hope at the end...
It's so rare to have attention to detail in videogames today. Baldur's gate 3 is not just a game, its a passion, a world with no stone left unturned by the creators. A true masterpiece we should be gratful to have experienced in this lifetime. Thank you Larian Studios and everyone involved
I agree so so much with you! As soneone trying to leave no stone unturned in it, I agree that I rarely find stones that they didnt see 🫣🤌
I want to live is such a pretty song, haunting
I agree... one of the better ones in the ost... and emotional as well
This makes so much sense after watching Neil Newbons stream. He sings the lyrics at one point and I was wondering where he got the lyrics from. It all makes sense now.
Yep... all makes sense...
Wait, I thought this was just a random music, maybe I have just triggered it accidentally at some point 🤔
Well, from the lyrics you can tell that it's definitely Astarion's song ... it's like we get in his head and can hear him singing it to himself... "Invite me in... I broke my chains... I just want to live..." 🌹
@@resonatinglo This could literally be said about each of the party members. For example, Karlach was also literally in slavery.
@@rrrnzzz About the "I broke my chains" and "I want to live" I agree, but literally everything else in the song is NOT about Karlach for example... "skin cold as death" "blood as wine" "invite me in" are things about vampires and their lore in DnD 😊
I totally missed this.
One of the first things i do in these types of games is turn the music off.
Thanks for posting it.
Thank you for the comment! 🌹
For me as a bard by heart and soul and as a musician, the music in the games is one of the most important things! It gives the vibe and the feels in many zones and situations... Without music... it's like playing it without colors...
When I listen to spotify, 80% of my music is from games over the years...
Can't live without it!
Wow, what how 😂😂
Jump on the cliff and you hear his thoughts and singing this to himself...
"I broke my chaaaiiinnss, I'm not to blaaaame"
Thumbs up for Team Shadowheart
Soon
Wonderful song❤
Still my favourite even tho Raphael's final act is a close second 🗡🍷🌹🖤
Oh the camp plays this for me regardless of where I'm standing
You mean with lyrics and all? with the female vocal too? in camp? next to Withers? Impossible... or a bug...
So after my 5th playthrough and now is 6th, i never knew about this, wish I could hear it sooner at the beginning. Thank you so much for this, it was a beautiful song ❤️
P/s: it suits for Astarion as well 😂
Haha, happens! Thank you! It suits Dark urge, Astarion and most of the stories if you turn the lyrics a bit. It's a good song for sure. Now every time you are in act 1, you can go up the cliff to listen to it
@@resonatinglo yup definitely, here comes 7th new game😁.
@@nhatkhang379 yep. I've been there 😅
Give this poor man a hug right now 😭
Give him! He deserves one so much! Even not one, but one hundred! 😞
hat's Awesome of the Devs to put that in there!
The music director and composer asked them to put it there. This was his second song after Down by the river and he wanted to do something special with it, so He asked them to hide it behind Astarion's tent. Having in mind that back then it was only him, Gale and Shadowheart, they just picked the best hidden spot... it's just a coincidence that it's behind Astarion
How beautiful ❤
It is indeed ... Amazing 🔥
This also plays at the wyrms rock camp when you enter act 3, on the ledge behind where the astral portal
Thanks, Yes! I also have a video with the act 3 one 🌹😊
There's another spot in this camp with a special song
Hmm... is there... Do tell... please , because the music director said it's only this one 😅
It reminds me of Divinity's music, their other game that came before BG3. I absolutely loved Divinity: Original Sin II.
A lot of the extra content you get from the digital delux edition is actually from their previous game.
All 3 extra bard songs are from Divinity, the "Rivellon paintings" are of characters from Divinity, their world was called Rivellon, and the Shapeshifters mask is a mask that the character Fane wears.
Fane might as well be the main character of that game. Had the same sass as Astarion too, a tragic story, but more know-it-all.
I wish more people knew about Divinity, it deserves as much praise as BG3.
I love DOS2 as well, played it for many years, many playthroughs. I love Fane, he was my favourite. Even one campaign as did as Fane from his point of view! Love Malady (which is the Narrator in BG3) , love the kraken fight, love the ancient eternal in the catacombs that called us rotting things 😅. DOS2 is one of my fav games.
That's why I knew I will like BG3, because it should have the same feel. Now that I have played it, I can say it's a bit different and the two games are very distinct from one another.
As for the music, YES! I also knew that Borislav Slavov made the DOS2 OST, I love the main menu music, I have done Lohse's song a cover as a bard... just so so cool!
It's nice to meet another person who knows about Divinity as well! Thank you!
Wow, it sounds so beautiful 🥺 I wonder if I should continue listening to it or wait until I encounter the moment mentioned in comments during my playthrough
I think I'll try to wait for the moment in my playthrough, so I can experience and savor it to make it a true memorable gaming moment.
Thank you, I'll try not to forget it exists ❤️
🖤Happy to help. You can always listen to the song with the link in the description 😊
@@resonatinglo I reached that campsite (Act 3) yesterday and what can I say? It was so beautifully done - I almost cried. When I heard female voice accompany male one I imagined Karlach singing along with Astarion, pleading for life, for that a chance at "normal" one just appeared on the horizon for her. I almost bursted in tears, especially given what endings are available for her at the moment 😭💔
Thank you ❤️ Without your video I wouldn't have found that magical and wonderful Easter Egg.
@@user-mu8dm4rk7g You are welcome. So did you see my other video for the second spot that is in act 3? Happy to help. I love the music and I love all the characters in the freaking game... just amazing!
@@resonatinglo I love everything about it too! No, I don't think I saw your second video, I just saw comments under THIS video. Had to look for it for some time, but I found it! It was so worth it...
@@user-mu8dm4rk7g I'm glad! Next time check in my repertoire of vids , I might have exactly what you need 😊
This song also plays on the northernmost point in the camp just before reaching the City.
Thank you. Yep. My video for it is in the description as well 😋😁😇
Not the cursor caressing astarion when "a soft caress" is sung lol
haha, I don't think it was intentional... but not sure 😁
The way you caressed Astarion with your cursor... yeah been there xDD
Hahahahaha
hAHAHAHAHAH
I do it very often 😇 And now that I am streaming the Astarion Origin and he is there non stop... I do it on stream as well... he is so beautiful... I wont apologise 😁😅🌹
Everyone deserves some rest and peace in life, especially when their life has been so messed up.
True... soo so true...
I discovered this bec scratch always go there and im like buddy whats i there turns out Astarion had the camp aux and he never said a thing
😁Indeed
There is more spots, in other camps that also trigger that song. Usually some kind of overlooking spots with a nice view.
That statement is both correct and incorrect at the same time.
There is only one other spot where the song plays and it's the first camp in act 3 next to the tower we climb in the cinematic, on the cliff next to the bush.
No where else in the game you can hear the song with lyrics like that.
The original idea was to have only one spot as an easter egg - this one behind Astarion and it was like that until close to release. For the release of the game they have added a second spot to dilute the talk that this is Astarion only song, so they have added it at one more place that is more likely for the people to go and hear it.
Almost all their stories are about being controlled by someone or something. Its a good song.
It is good... you can relate it to most, different lines fit more than others. But in general, yes... Tav and all... want to live
This song played sometimes and i wasn't behind his tent. Apparently it plays when some important quest is complete
This version specifically with lyrics is played only here. There are 3-4 other variations of it, but they are all without lyrics. This is the actual first written song
@@resonatinglo understand. I didn't notice the lyrics difference
@@zusevan4968 That's why this one is special. :) No worries
@@resonatinglo I'll try it next time
Wow, I had to wait to finish the game and the whole-ass credits before I heard this, hahahahaha. Thank you for this, I love this little gem.
Thank you 💎
I'm not sure if it's relevant, but the credits song is not the song from that video. This one is "I want to live" where the credit's song is called "The Power" 😊
@@resonatinglo What, really??? 🤯 I could have sworn it was one of the songs at the end of the game, hahaha. Does it turn up anywhere else that I might have heard it?
In any case, thank you for this, I'll definitely stand behind Astarion at camp the next chance I get to play. ❤
@@YourSmartOlderSister This song (I want to live) is also played at the first camp in act 3 on a specific place. The video with the location is coming up tomorrow night with the spot. The other song (The power) is ONLY in the credits 😊
For tonight I have a bit of a darker video coming up and can't change it...
Astarion you have a personal bard band that's so cool! 🥰💖
Haha... true 🎼😊
First time i've seen a CZcamsr replay to every comment, pretty impressive!
Wow, really. It can't be just me... I try to reply to every reply as well, but not every time it gets marked, so not every time I see it.
I think it's crucial to reply. I get feedback and very nice conversations like that. Mane people come to my discord after those conversations in the comments and share their experience in the game as well.
I just love it, that's why I do it. It's not that much work/time per day to leave them there.
BUT Thank you again! You are the first person to say and notice it! And believe me I have read every single comment so I know it;s the first time 😅😊🔥
i am surprised nobody noticed, i also like the approach of talking to your community it also leaves a better impression on the viewer, and if the community is not toxic you can have some cool honest discussions which usually dont really happen in comment sections on youtube.
btw for now i wont be subbing since i have yet to progress much in bauldergates and dont want to spoil myself but i will be subbing later @@resonatinglo
@@itamar8424 wow, i got a little teary eyed here... THANK YOU a lot. I understand about the subbing, you do not have to. Take your time with the game, explore and have a lot of fun and when you feel ready, if you like I have a great discord community of around 20-ish people with a few DnD Lore specialists amongst them , and we passionately discuss the game there.
As for the comments, I try mu best to have those long, nice conversations, depending on the topic. I try not to spoil and give every single player the experience in the game they need. I can't stop YT showing things , but at least down here, I try to be respectful of everyone's opinion and progress in the game!
I really appreciate your honesty and your comments!
My channel will be here if you ever decide to come back! 😇🔥
@@resonatinglo thanks for the offer I'll probably join the server this weekend but i am really busy irl so probably i won't be able to be that active for a while
@@itamar8424 There's no rush. No one can say anything in the virtual world... you can be there any time you want or not be there at all, it's all up to you my friend 😊🌹😇
I got the song in the camp rifht outside Baldur's gate. You go to an edge overlooking the bay and the city and it just starts up.... most magical gaming experience ever. 😮
Yep, in act 3 is the second place where you can do that 😊🌹
Dont think its specifically an astarion thing because It also plays in the camp area between acts 2 and 3 l. If you go to the cliff overlooking rivington, behind the portal that spawns to the astral plane you can listen to it in full.
True, the composer said it is Tav's song, but he requested it to be put behind Astarion's tent for the players to find it
I didn't realize that i had done something specific to trigger this song.
Did you find it yourself going on the rock? Nice
