Custom arranged by James Marler. A groom requested this video game song to walk out for his Groom’s Processional at his wedding! It went over very well and his guests were so surprised to hear this played live by the harp and cello!

lovely (though unfortunately a little fast, as mentioned.) i too wanted this to be the piece played at my wedding before the service started.. not sure my wife would agree, though. i dont know if you know the context of this song, but this groom’s request to have it play suggests a deeply personal relationship to Dark Souls. A moment’s peace (called “Souls of Fire” by the community until the official song title was given) plays when you create your character and load your game. when you are creating your character, it heralds a journey of great mystery and possibility. when loading your game, it soothes you, a familiar oasis of momentary warmth before plunging back into the dark and seemingly cruel deep. dark souls has often been framed by players as allegorical to struggling against depression, of squaring up to lift immovable objects. indeed i frequently return to it in these moments of despair. why this is the case is complex, something i am compelled at times to elucidate, but am not fully certain i understand. what i do know is that the practiced discipline required to succeed in the game is taught to you by the mechanics and design, as if by a benevolent, if distant, mentor. only when you cast off all denial and accept the fact of your fallibility, of your failure, the fact of your death and dying, over and over, can you find the calm, focus, and peace, to dance with the enemies and eventually overcome them. i see parallels here to how one learns to tolerate cold water immersion it is for these reasons that i consider dark souls one of the great triumphs of 21st century media, and possibly the most compelling reason video games deserve to be recognized as art, if art is about what it is to be a human being
