Aviators - Casting Shadows (Elden Ring Song | Symphonic Rock)

[@levitikusvii8257]

"My Feet" being the first two words was clearly for Miyazaki

[@Count_bleck_T]

I promise you, Miquela showing his feet is essential to the user experience and increases user enjoyment of the game. Miyazaki has a vision and it must be upheld, there is no room for exceptions.

[@AleniLolYT]

"If I lose who I am, will i then be enough?" well i will never recover.

[@Zigthrill]

Can't parry the feels. 😭

[@Quantumact2908]

getting to the stone coffin fissure and seeing "Here I abandon my love." made me just stop, sit back, stand there and pause to really look at, take in, and digest everything going on with what i had seen already in shadow of the erdtree it really just made me feel... different towards the story, and micquella

[@zacharyt.2694]

I find it tragically ironic that out of all Marika's children Miquella seems to be the one that takes after her the most despite the fact that he so harshly criticized her choices. They both did whatever they need to do in order to being about what each believe would be the best Age while justifying all the sacrifices and awful things that lead to it. The only difference is that Marika succeeded and lived long enough to regret it verifying St. Trina's warning of what would happen to Miquella if he succeeded.

[@eviltoad746]

I love how this captures both the well intentioned ambition and the misguided mistakes of Miquella's path. He felt like he had to lose himself to be enough, but never stopped to think that losing who he is would be the very thing to alter his path in the wrong direction

[@ghost321000]

I have to wonder if Marika had a similar journey.

[@scrollkeeper5272]

Miquella's story is a grim reminder of how easily we can lose sight of what really matters in grim times. In our efforts to drastic change in one swoop, we can cause just as much damage as the villains we fight if not more. Keep up the fight for freedom, hope and justice, but never forget who or what you stand for.

[@rpgislife]

I never noticed how Miquella wraps his arms around Radahn tighter as they fade.

[@Reaper-wh9di]

Why are every one of your Elden Ring songs a masterpiece? At this point, I can't bring myself to choose a favorite since each one is perfect in its own way!

[@BirboScrimmer]

masterpieces tend to inspire more masterpieces

[@UFG_Studios]

This song has been weirdly inspiring for me as of late because of my depressive state. It has made me feel a bit better about myself, and it has made me feel like I have control over whatever path I set for myself. I have listened to this song and "Burn" the most from the new album. And I cannot thank you enough for it.

[@TheGyldenaut]

I was so used to the album version of it (with just the cover art), so when I turned off my brain to listen to it again I was jumpscared by it being the actual video

[@g.e2617]

It took me a while to realize this, (and I honestly made this comment on the original video), but - well. The final lines - "I won't be the same" - struck me as having two meanings. The obvious one is how Miquella won't be himself anymore after he cut out Trina - and the second is how he's promising himself that he won't be like his mother despite that (and how, despite that promise, he is still doing horrible things. He's got all the good intentions in the world, and is still casting shadows).

[@triplej26532]

This song perfectly sums up the lore about Miquella the kind in Elden Ring. The path of Promise to be the last shining light or be like many others in Casting Shadows. Listening to the two sides of conflict and hesitation takes courage for one to choose what is the righteous path to take. The vibes with the instrumental in this track shows that I am not alone in the world of conflict and hesitation. What people around actually think about me, the problems that go on in this world and how to solve that conflict is a challenge in itself. We all have a role to accomplish something in life and to carve a path for a better future when a new generation of people rise. While those that cast shadows continue to repeat the past errors that has been attempted before, thus their fate is sealed in the end. I will treasure this track for many more years in the future.

[@thewatcher9811]

Here I am, sitting at work, pissed at my coworkers, and my mood was instantly improved

[@dragonjo7550]

beef with coworkers effect on mood < amazing musics effect on mood. you got this buddy, the day is yours, so seize it and dont let foolish people affect you!

[@LitchGaming]

The same is for me having literally sh*tty day ( skipping the job suffering viral diarea). The little things like this make me suffer a bit less.

[@BarontheBard]

This has to be my favorite of the Casting Shadows album, I know Miquella turns out to be a bad guy, but this song has so much emotions and I love the way you have utilized guitar in this album, I just can't say enough good things. Anyway, I love Miquella's story because he starts out with obvious good intensions but he ends up being the thing he sought to destroy which is ironic because he is "still casting shadows the same" as you put it. It just carries so much weight and is a great song. Great job on this album, I can't wait for your future projects.

[@Zigthrill]

This song makes me somehow sad for Miquella. This is so well written and well sung. 😭

[@The_Navagator_Trace_Rifle]

That intro is crazy good

[@JMulls]

I've listened to your music practically every day for years at this point and this might be your best album... exceedingly impressive work!

[@auroraseppel6204]

This is by far one of my favourite songs on the album, I can’t get enough of it! An excellent song (with a perfectly fitting character) to make it the album’s namesake!

[@illyanesterenko8930]

Did not expect that the main song of the album gonna get a video. But who am I to not get even more happy?

[@vincentburlingame8646]

Most of the time at least the title song will get a video even if only like 3 songs get one

[@eviltoad746]

I'm pretty sure he's trying to get every song on the album to get a video. He's been pumping them out at a pretty good rate. Already 5 of the 10 songs with videos

[@certified_bot6274]

PEAK YET AGAIN !!! so so excited to see the rest of the album get a proper video !!!

[@XIIthehangedmanXII]

I like thie one. Miquella's desperate hope that his sacrifice works is pretty sad, all things considered.

[@kisukoev]

It's especially sad because he was destined to fail. Everything that went wrong in his life wasn't even his fault (probably Marika's) and he just wanted to make things better and, in his eternally childish mind, make everyone happy. Unfortunately, the adult thing to do (therefore impossible for him) sometimes is to just move on, accept the mistakes of the past and either start from zero (Ranni's ending), or make the best of your current situation (Fia/Goldmask endings)

[@xXGraylyResurectedXx]

I don’t know how else to say this, but I think I have a new favourite song of yours. I have been listening to it on loop on bursts since it was uploaded, and I’m just in /love/. It’s beautiful, and the melody has me just spellbound. ❤

[@Zigthrill]

It unironically gave me empathy for Miquella. I cried the first time I was listening to this song.

[@xXGraylyResurectedXx]

@ Me too! It’s nice to hear an empathetic take on his story, though it makes it more heartbreaking…

[@xynatkarn4187]

Flawless vibes on this song.

[@Flakkahh]

My favorite song from the album! Absolutely majestic!!

[@halocemagnum8351]

My favorite song from the album by far. Feels like the kind of song that you’d play at the end credits of a sick as anime.

[@charlesatanasio]

I never thought about how Miquella isn't who he us anymore... There are no monsters in Elden Ring. No villains. Just people with no way out. ...except the Hornsent. They earned what they got.

[@fishpaste2100]

I absolutely adore this song, production wise it’s one of my favourites from you. And it’s the one that has been stuck in my head the most. I catch myself singing it so often.

[@absolutemystery372]

Leave it to aviators to shine light during dark days.

[@FlexxibleFree]

Amazing! Such a perfectly nailed bittersweet mood. In the end with all said and done, with all the right reasons it seems the choice was wrong. I feel like this story somewhat mirrors the Gael's story from DS3 DLC

[@Treowe_]

these songs are fantastic. But I KNEW they would just hit *d i f f e r e n t* with visuals.

[@kaiseryim1194]

It sounds like there's just so much doubt in the lyrics like Miquella wants to believe what he's doing is right and through the chorus literally shedding his doubts. I like to imagine the fade as he ascends is like some beam of light and the tarnished is waiting as it fades to slay him as a new god is born. I hope Burn and Imperfected get their just videos too theyre the other best parts of this album

[@TheWinterfrost123]

absolutely in love with how many songs youve made for elden ring alone, because lets be honest the game is THAT GOOD

[@SweeterOnion]

hey boss, listener since shortly before "From All Sides" here. yeah this might be your best work, chief.

[@senthesanguinesinner9]

This will be in my head for the next few months and I couldn’t be more grateful

[@bundayeti]

Beautiful composition as always, and as many others have already said so. For some reason I really struggle to understand the lyrics when just listening to it. I cannot tell whether the orchestra is drowning out your voice, or if it's the muffling/distorting effect on your voice, but it's really annoying me that I cannot comprehend what you are singing about, unless I am staring at the lyrics. I presume it's part of an artistic direction, but just thought I'd mention it in case it's my speaker settings, and others can actually understand the words to the song, or whether it is meant to by borderline unintelligible at parts.

[@qlerty6218]

wonderful

[@danktankdragkings7117]

God I'm so fucking proud of y'all!! I was here at second wave mlp. You were the first fandom band I fell in love with(outside wozrock at 17 at least). Now just like much of the OG fandom we are in our 30s and doing big time shit. I'm so proud to see you guys getting the love you absolutely deserve and doing exactly what you love to do.

[@Father_Void]

I'm in love with your music. We love you! This is going into my song playlist :}

[@TheArcSet]

Thanks for this.

[@ABluSkittle]

OOOOO! One of my favs from the album!

[@lijesewell764]

Reminds me of my friends hyping me up, way more than they'd need to. But maybe that's being overly humble. But overall, a neat and satisfying song. Also, a quote and reply from Secret Level "What comes next." "That's the point." Might be paraphrasing, been a moment.

[@clementverkimpe940]

peak aviators song again!

[@guy_lektor3325]

It was really cool!!!

[@mikep8667]

Good songs like always🤗

[@woopergod4224]

It's a shame that the old comments are lost whenever the new version is released, but man is it always worth it

[@ApollosRockstar]

Wonderful as always dude

[@greatazuredragon]

Awesome work.

[@Yopeople2120]

Simply lovely

[@DyIanGaming]

Todays gonna be a great day, this was my favorite song in the album and now it has a video

[@arandomfish6523]

Always a treat when I see a new song

[@flarelord8425]

I love this song. Been going through some hard times, and have found it deeply inspirational. Miquella is kind of a bad end for the road I'm on, but its good to draw comfort. Just funny its from a villain song. Love you, Aviators.

[@ZachMoore-y3u]

One of my favorite songs from the album. Hope you do a video for Cleansing Flame.

[@autoprimejft0077]

Holy shit I just got the notification

[@Allakain]

Always love your stuff! Now I gotta replay Elden Ring.

[@Florjb0rjTheFloorboard]

Ooh! Always love to see a new upload ❤

[@AmberFoxxo]

Awaaa, new song let's go! Now I wanna play Elden Ring :3

[@AnimatronicBadgerlord]

This is my second favorite song of the album, with Liar Liar being my favorite. The whole damn album is good, but there is just something about these two songs that resonate with me so well. Heck Liar Liar got me to play through the entirety of Lies of P again just so I could use it as a Theme Song for the final battle and actually WIN this time!

[@ThomasKingGaming]

Symphonic pop-punk’s never sounded so good!

[@cruxnajii2056]

Been waiting for this one

[@GenericSalt]

Day just got better

[@severalcakes3267]

“You want to save everyone. Pitiful, really. You can’t even save yourself.” - holyhoudini, _Patches._

[@Zigthrill]

Sounds more like Archer from Fate Unlimited Bladeworks. "You can save neither others nor yourself which is why the ideals you cling to are meaningless".

[@v0idz_779]

We've been waiting for this one

[@marcanva6548]

What is this peak cinema that just popped in my notifications

[@comerja31]

Love the Aviators, tons of great songs! My one critique for this one is that the vocals track seems too quiet or the instrumental track seems too loud, in my opinion. Still like it, though.

[@n0vastar]

hell yeah aviators

[@arhangeo]

Прелепо!

[@Opaque00]

Yessss! New song! ❤

[@jakubbarczyk4310]

[@dremoralord079]

Still waiting for a Music Video for Burn

[@ashrunzeda4099]

YES FINALLY!

[@android19willpwn]

it's so hard to pick a favorite from this album

[@Flymerick]

Question for the lore masters and all-knowings out there: Why did Miquella have to abandon parts of himself to reach divinity?

[@sultanmalik9808]

As an Empyrean he was already a vessel for divinity. But the vessel was already full, with himself. So in order to become divine, the vessel must be emptied first, all that remaining being the purpose for which they ascended. We see the consequences of such a thing with Marika's character post-ascension. A young lady, a mother doing all in her power to heal her afflicted child, emptied herself of all she was in the name of vengeance, and in becoming divine she became capable of callousness and cruelty on a scale she could never have fathomed before her ascension. But Miquella ascended for the purpose of making the world kinder place, so we cannot say for sure exactly what his divinity would've actually entailed, the extent of his mind-control powers are fuzzy.

[@edeni7933]

As I understand, he wanted to dispose of everything that connected him with the past - with his family, his mother and all her mistakes, with the Golden Order. To start the new age from zero. And also he wanted to dispose of everything that made him imperfect in his own eyes - including even his love. Apparently he thought that love would make him prejudiced and generally "too human", he wanted to be perfect and detached, didn't want to have any personal attachments left. Also St. Trina, who personified his love, didn't want him to become a god, so she would oppose him anyway, and considering she already had her own worshippers, she could become a rival to his age. So he tried to kill her. As well as everything he deemed imperfect and everything that could get in his way to achieving power to bring his vision of the new world. This is how I understand the plot.

[@kbloodwolf]

It sounds like Breaking Benjamin and three days, Grace voice keep coming more music that you’re sol makes

[@DeionTheWhiteDemon]

Give this man the whole kitchen! Because Dang he can cook

[@gryzziarth8288]

Ah yes. A true souls fan. Starting a song with "My Feet".

Never clicked so fast in my life

[@sunRay04]

My brain immediately jumped to Casting Couch And now I feel immense disappointment for posting this comment

[@lijesewell764]

Using every Silver Bullet i could, until pulling out another threatened things i held dear. But the buried my name as if it's something i did for other people. Would have me go HA, I didn't want an automated thing with my name to do things.

[@FayeRantTheStrong]

This is simply beautiful, my heart is stolen

[@ashrunzeda4099]

THE TITULAR SONG! AND ALSO FUCK, IM EARLY!

[@joemamarama335]

Is it just me or is the way you sing some of the verse lyrics, "the torchlight leads clearly, to goals achieved nearly" and a lot of other verse lyrics containing the same rhythm way too remniscant of either "bonfire" or "let there be fire"

[@leonardgodina]

Alright! This was the one track that really shocked me how many fans loved and felt for the Manipulator villain of the story of Elden Ring new DLC! Man what a twist at the end am I right!? Lol Aviators you did it again like always blow our minds in different ways 🎵🔥🎵

[@Amber_whr]

Why aviator boy keep cooking?????? does he know???????
