A Father’s Arms Gavin Dunne 2018
In the arms of the father
In my frozen spirit
Is a chaos quenched in cold
Still smouldering in the ashes of my soul
On the hunt relive it
For the cub must learn his role
To clench all the reckless rage into control
Steel and rags are covering the shame
In the arms of the father
Marks of a history
Old tales on the water
Cold affinity
In the arms of the father
Scars of a past concealed
In the cracks in the armour
Brands of regret beneath the steel
In the steps and stories
These lessons must be learned
I bear the resent of sorrow in return
Gods and titans shudder at the name
In the arms of the father
Marks of a history
Old tales on the water
Cold affinity
In the arms of the father
Scars of a past concealed
In the cracks in the armour
Brands of regret beneath the...
Steel and rags still covering the shame
Gods and titans shudder at the name
Fall to the pain again
Ash on the pyre
Call to the rage again
Borne back to the fire...
I am chaos
I am war
I am fury
And I am yours no more
In the arms of the father
Marks of a history
Old tales on the water
Cold affinity
In the arms of the father
Scars of a past concealed
In the cracks in the armour
Brands of regret beneath the steel
Beneath the steel

Absolutely - Kratos' maturity for the sake of his son is incredibly touching. He's managed to master the rage that once ruled him. For the sake of his child and the effort to make sure Atreus doesn't make his mistakes - with the old God of War only emerging when his son is in danger.

ok I have to say I love how this one doesnt just do "a clever nod" but openly acknowledges the past god of wars but mix with the new one, just like the new god of war. It has it in there, and even the lil smidges of the old theme in there are fantastic. this is what I like, its not just a reference but instead embraces the old with the new. its a god of war song

I've actually considered a crossover idea for them...

[@TheBook778]

Balanc-Joy918 I’m interested in this, please tell us what the idea is.

[@balanc-joy9187]

@@TheBook778 I was hoping someone would be, so thank you. Before I start though, I want to preface by saying that I have not played either Doom, nor yet played any GoW games other than the original, 2, and Chains of Olympus, and that this is a general idea and if I _were_ to ever write this some degree of it would probably change. That said, (clears throat): The story would be set during Kratos' assault on Olympus, with Zeus deciding they need reinforcements as the both the Titans and Kratos fight further and further up the mountain (I intend to go more in-depth with the War and not dismiss the Titans like the game did). He finds Hell and agrees to help the demons get rid of a certain imprisoned entity if they will fight. Naturally, the new army causes trouble for Kratos and the Titans coupled with a more forceful assault from the Gods, and eventually they are at the mercy of the demons. In comes Doomguy, who has been freed due to an accident during his attempted additional imprisonment by the Gods, and is pissed that they are allying with the demons. To that end, he somewhat inadvertently rescues Kratos and the Titans. They form a rather loose alliance, and Kratos and Doomguy play off of each other as they kill their way through monsters, Gods, and demons, with perhaps some funny moments being had from Kratos' hamminess and Doomguy's muteness. I would also probably have the whole Pandora's Box thing go very differently, and Kratos improving more gradually due to Doomguy's more altruistic nature contrasting his own selfishness, leading to his decision at the end to be based on Doomguy's opinion as well as his own revelation. I would then either end it on a cliffhanger where they go after the fleeing demonic horde, with Kratos surprisingly (or not) electing to join the Doomguy in finishing his work with him, or they simply part ways with respect, and perhaps Kratos nodding to traveling to other lands and searching for a better life, with Doomguy giving his approval and well-wishes. Those are all of the relevant points I can think of, so please tell me what you think. This idea would be far in the future if I ever do it at all (like 5 years to a full decade at least), but I would love to do it at some point, and hear feedback on it at least for the moment. Also, there _is_ a crossover already, but set in the Norse Era-www.fanfiction.net/s/13166292/1/God-of-War-The-Coming-of-Doom

I love the scene after the Troll/Giant(I can't remember which it is) busts through the door, after it throws Atreus down and goes to grab him, Kratos legitimately shoving his arm in that mouth to stop it from bitting his sun. This game and the connection between them is amazing

[@pepelefrog3697]

This was also a plot point- atreus had no business attacking the troll, and the troll most likely wouldn't have gone for atreus as long as kratos was beating down on it. Atreus's lack of control caused him to act erratically, doing minimal damage and putting himself in more danger, causing Kratos to get harmed in the process trying to save him.

[@lehaua8922]

Nerdout made a horrible electronic music choice, which completely ruined it even before the guy started rapping. JT is a lot better, i'd even listen to it again. But Gavin is a true maestro of game/cinema-inspired songs, working with the atmosphere of the game/film when creating music, instead of just the story like the rest of them, and then nailing lyrics on top of it. There is also Dan Bull, rather good, but his GoW rap just feels wierd.

[@giacomorinaldi8803]

Dan Bull's hardly makes any references to the game at all. The second half of the song is such a let down and it's a pity knowing what the guy is capable of. GoW deserved better

[@jungyman365]

Those meaningful lyrics, the thundering metal, and the vocal performance which blends the angry roar and the buried regret of Kratos in this game makes this song an excellent companion piece to an already impressive game.

blarg2429 I was more thinking they were talking about the songs feel, not the 'they're all Vikings' kind of things, We are War is done in a very similar style, but Nord Mead most certainly is not the same style. Also, We are War isn't specifically about Vikings, it is about all of the groups in the game For Honor. Btw, in old Norse culture 'Vikings' weren't a people group, it was an occupation, namely those who went and raided other peoples at the time, which was called going 'I-Viking,' and depending on the translation, it could also be 'A-Viking,' depending of which dialect of Norse you used.

Why do I feel like every powerful man in the world is singing this .

[@DarkShadow-ne3bu]

This song describes what it's like to hang out with your dad while mom is working

[@ThePa1riot]

“I’m yours no more.” Nice. Love how Gav can work in so much stuff but with subtle lines like that.

[@gregoryfilin8040]

A third re-upload? What caused all this Gavin? You had me worried this legend was gone forever!

[@larry.l4477]

Gregory Filin He just wants his music to be exactly like he likes it. Nothing else except perfection in good enough for him

[@miracleofsound]

Check the pinned comment!

[@drvertigo3948]

miracleofsound man your music is like honey to my ears I heard this song 3 times now and i cant stop

[@D.Ronoa69]

i heard this before, but this sounds better. Dammit Deadpool must be messing with time again.

[@Voc_spooksauce]

AiErudito __-_-__ He actually deleted the video,made it better and brought it back ((And we all know that each time you listen to one of his songs,it gets even better))

[@jodhod1498]

AiErudito __-_-__ well, a lot of his hard songs have a certain structure to them. Try listening to the Doom song.

[@D.Ronoa69]

Voc - Thanks sherlock

[@Comrade2261]

Already a minute into the song, and it's epic.

[@dankerjim7766]

And yet here we are again Gav..... you never fail to surprise us every time you make a song video we get chills down our spines not only for the parts in the videos but for the music that fits so well into the game as well, this truly tells Krato's life. Thank you from the bottom of all our hearts keep doing what your doing we all support you in any way shape or from. Keep Rocking my dude. :)

[@ismaeljimenez6562]

Im about to be a father and this song reminds me of all the stupid shit I've done growing up and what I would do to make sure my son doesn't repeat those same mistakes

[@franc3batgame349]

Everyone makes mistakes as a young man. I think that too. Our sons won't make our same mistakes, man.

[@HenningsEdits]

Incredibly well-crafted song, Gav! One of the best of the year from you so far. I'm not exactly a new fan - I've seen you trending on Bandcamp countless times, and loved what I've heard - but I have to admit, I didn't start actively listening to you until Aviators announced you were collaborating with him on his new album coming this friday. Can't wait for 'Let There Be Fire'!

[@miracleofsound]

it's a great track, he's a fantastic composer & arranger!

[@insloanwetrust]

Epic song fits the game perfect. Love the style of the song. especially the guitar.

[@sledgehammer5437]

I love this song and also it's name, as literally "in the arms of the farther" is where kratos past is shown and how he tries to hide it and it's also the answer to all atreus's (not sure if I spelt that right) questions as to where he comes from on his farthers side. It was where the story began the very chains burnt into kratos, the arms that were the cause of his skin becoming white, the same arms that now defend his son. Perfect title for a perfect song to represent the entire series. Fantastic work Gav, I cannot wait to see what you do next!

[@miracleofsound]

Thank you! It's nice when people notice the effort put into the lyrics :)

[@sledgehammer5437]

miracleofsound No worries, I love this series personally and have done for a long time (even grown the older god of war style beard) and also really enjoy your music and how deeply you intertwine the lyrics with source material. Lastly bit random but I was sure I saw slaine comic on your book shelf waaay back when you did that Q and A thing was it?

[@atraxuswraithe6031]

Oðin's Eye, this is a song that deserves to be sung by the Skalds at Ragnarök, when the Einherjar march out of the gates of Valhalla onto the Bifröst, to make their last stand against the forces of Loki, the Jötnar, Hela and the dishonourable dead! Hail, Kratos, God of War!!!

[@bliczb8772]

"...to make their last stand against the forces of Loki" I can assure you, you'd rather want to change that one for something else. If you played the game, you know why.

[@atraxuswraithe6031]

Blicz B I just finished playing the game, and I have realised my mistake. I offer my sincerest apologies. Obviously, I would not want to hurt the version of Loki from the game. However, in my defence, I was referring to the Loki as portrayed in the original myths and sagas.

[@t.s.7166]

I see we have a Norse expert haha

[@ZZMonkeysUncleZZ]

Just pointing out, Hela is a Marvel character. The figure you're thinking of is Hel, and was the inspiration for Hela.

[@leonr8255]

@Obi-Wan Kenobi: Hel was also known as Hela long before Marvel Comics even adapted her into their stories, and even before Marvel Comics itself. Marvel Comics was created in 1939, and Hela was introduced to the world in 1964. However, there is a painting by John Charles Dollman called "Hermod before Hela" that was created in 1909 (way before Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were even born).

[@the_dropbear4392]

Somehow you made it better, you truly are a miracle of sound

[@kylemiddleton8161]

Only started listening to your music a few days ago. I regret not listening sooner because I was certainly missing out. You are truly a talented singer, composer, instrument players and everything in between. Can't stop listening and will be for a long time. Keep up the great work you do. Your are now one of my fav youtubers.

[@MrSmytch]

Couldn't even express how much this version is FUCKING SUPERIOR to the first one. Not to dimminish your work in any way, Gav, but rather to applaud your sense and taste in near PERFECT mastering and point out how INCREDIBLY important it is!!! The first one wasn't groving on me somehow, but this one ROCKS SOOO HARD \m/, Goes straight to the faves!

[@miracleofsound]

Thank you. Mixing is a very unappreciated art form, it makes a MASSIVE difference :)

[@terrorbilly3367]

still waiting for kingdom come deliverance

[@illidank996]

Ah its back... finally ;) I'm sorry for you that it caused so many problems. But despite all the trouble, this is one awesome song! (I hope you're happy with it aswell!) _(Btw some parts do remind me a bit of Sirona)_

[@neolithiumproduction]

This game was a truly epic story. It really just got you right there in the heart. The lore, the character growth between father and son, and that reveal in the end with the son. And this song really helps capture that. Well done. =)

[@rallen43]

One of the absolute best songs you’ve ever done Gav, can’t stop hitting replay!

[@boarhatfisher9701]

A father will always be by their kins side through everything they face

Till they go to get a pack of smokes

[@hurricane98211]

Finally, it's back!

[@niravathu7353]

Some of your best ever work, for one of the greatest games ever made. Incredible as always.

[@04whim]

Never thought I'd hear such a good song about a dude's arms.

[@darthnihilus3447]

Kratos, son of Zues, killer of gods, destroyer of Olympus, sayer of *BOI*

[@mistercrool2538]

Will you play anytime live on stage? I would love to see that.

[@Theprimescollective]

The goosebumps come. And they're staying!

[@maxwellj9312]

This track gives so much power, pure epic, one of your best and my favourite since Wake the white Wolf and Jon's Snow song
