Think about it, who do we DS players look to for our ideal of jolly cooperation? Who do we love as our symbol of brotherhood, who is the living face of PVE. Which character has transcend the game and become a social icon.

[@TonyRedgrave]

Dark Souls' story is based on interpretation. We look at the scraps of info from items, dialogue and the environment, and then put those scraps into a picture we think is right. This is true for the characters as well. Solaire is no different. He was a friendly and somewhat goofy man who stood out amongst the gloom of Lordran. He cheered us up and helped us out whenever he could. At first he held his head high, but over time Lordran wore even him out. He faltered and, if it wasn't for us, he would have fallen. Indeed, we never get to see if he made anything of himself. In the grand scheme of things, Solaire was just another soul losing himself in the darkness of Lordran. We talked to him a few times, he helps us a few times, and we helped him in return. And that was it; that was all Solaire's story was. But we took that and made it more. We interpreted Solaire as a hero, a shining light that inspired many to set out in jolly cooperation. His worship of the sun became a meme, something that brought the community together. Hell, we even thought he was a god at one point. We made Solaire a legend, one that survives. In universe, The Warriors of Sunlight still thrive despite ages passing and the world falling apart. In real life, Solaire still serves as an inspiration, as proven by this song and the community. Call me sentimental, but I find that as beautiful as it is amazing. The Legend of Solaire is something we made and fueled. It is something that befits one as grossly incandescent as Solaire. Praise the Sun! \[T]/

For how bleak the setting of Dark Souls is, for how many fallen heroes and primordial monsters there are in the world, one fact stands out like a sore thumb, one fact, bright as the morning sun. The Warriors of Sunlight, the Heirs of the Sun. A covenant full of bright, friendly, selfless people who want nothing more than to help you, to make sure you go through this world unscathed and alive. The Warriors of Sunlight, the only covenant to survive unchanged, undefeated, uncorrupted through the ages of the world collapsing onto itself time and time again. And yet they still are here, standing bright and proud.

[@nathanjora7627]

[@stevenneiman9789]

In the end, Dark Souls is a game about hope. The kind of unbreakable hope that only grows in those who've been stomped into the ground so many times that they no longer fear failure, no longer believe that they can be kept from what they've set their minds on.

[@taniksholdinganarchy4081]

Yep

[@sangralknight3031]

I was among the first of the warriors of sunlight. In our day there was a genuine joy and hope when you suffered another defeat and saw that glowing golden sign on the ground. Or you timidly approached an unknown boss fight and were immediately comforted by that same golden glow. Warriors of sunlight would stand and fight with you over and over no matter how often you failed they would be right back at the start to face the same again. When you won they would send you cheerful and celebratory messages, then as you moved on they went back for the next new player behind you. I loved my time in service to the sun.

[@demonderpz7937]

[@grimms8783]

Solaire through his story desperately looks for his own sun, going through all of Lordran, from the undead parish, to anor londo, and even the depths of lost izalith. All the time wondering where his own sun would be. But never did he realise that in reality, he was his own sun. Of all the individuals, all the undead, he shone the brightest. Not only was he in reality his own sun, but the sun for hundreds, thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Dark Souls community. I hope eventually you can see where your sun is, Sun Bro. PRAISE THE SUN

[@NobodyThatepic]

Solaire was truly an amazing character in dark souls, in a world full of despair, sadness and pain he was the one person who refused to let that crush his spirit, he kept marching on in hopes of finding his very own sun...

One thing I I've always loved about Solaire is how badass he is. And that's no joke. His entire getup is custom made, and has nothing inherently special about it. It's not even bless by the gods. He doesn't even use a proper catalyst for his spells. He's a self made man, and his faith is so strong, he's even able to create lightning on his own. He was so powerful, that even through he though he couldn't find his own sun. He was ours. When we needed him most we could always find his sign. All bright and standing out amongst the rest. PRAISE THE SUN!!!

[@Elso958]

I only became a Dark Souls fan last year (A friend of mine, who is a diehard fan, hoisted Dark Souls Remastered upon me when it came out, and I grew to love it), and was inevitably introduced to the music scene of the fandom, as well (By the same friend). This song in particular really resonated with me, and, when I got married this year, me and my wife had our first dance at the reception to Incandescent. I suggested it simply as a placeholder, since I loved the message of 'Standing together to face the unknown, even when all hope is lost'. She's grown to love the track, too, and is glad we went with it. So thanks, Aviators! And thanks, Solaire, for being the inspiration behind this song!

This song talks about Solaire and the Warriors of Sunlight, but for me is for the fellowship when you play Dark Souls with a friend, the moments of joy of killing a boss, fighting against invanders, dealing with the hazardous zones, many other white phantoms willing to help you out a long the way.

You know a lot of people talk about Dark Souls being hard, the atmosphere being oppressive and grim, but few mention how the game follows a strong theme of hope. You're immediately thrown into a harsh world, though almost every NPC (except maybe Crestfallen) tells you to push forward, and more importantly, to not go hollow. This ties in well with the Hollowing itself, where people are more likely to hollow if they "give up" or lose their purpose. You, the player, never truly see your character go hollow since you never truly give up unless you turn the game off. It's refreshing to see a song that focuses on the hope reflected in the game and clinging to one of the few beacons of light in a dark world.

Oh my... I remember the first time I played DS1. A friend introduced it to me in a moment of my life I felt desperate in so many ways (depression). I was enjoying the game, but every invasion I got, with people being jerks (giant dad phantom has invaded), killing me, pointing down, trolling (I was clearly a noob), made me a bit more frustrated and sad. When I reached Anor Londo, I felt miserable; the atmosphere was of sorrow and loneliness, which felt terrible at the time. However, when I met Solaire, I started smiling. It was like I was alive again! Since then, I decided to help people in every way I could in Dark Souls, as a good adherent of the Lord of Sunlight

A friend of mine, a person who has become something of a younger brother to me, found our friendship through this series. This song, in all its magnificence and glory, reminds me of how we faced those challenges together, and have done ever since. We continue to listen to this song since its release. We battled the forces of Lordran together, and have continued to fight side-by-side. This song will continue to remind me of all the times we spent yelling, crying, and cheering together, and of all that we overcame. If you ever read this, Liam, little bro, I love you man. Thanks for being one of the best friends I could ever ask for. And I hope you too, as Solaire did, become something truly Incandescent.

Without the firstborn, without Gwyn, or Kath, or the first flame. Without any sort of cosmic power justifying it. They all did become the sun in a way. I don't know of a single player who didn't cry for solaire or have a moment of reaching out for a golden glowing summoning mark with a big happy smile. He was just a man, they were all just players.

[@HenningsEdits]

It's the section from 3:38 to 4:17 It starts with Where I Belong's chord progression, then the vocals kick in with the exact same melody of that song. The lyrics have been changed to fit the theme of Incandescent, apart from the lines "Spent years waiting for the time, I'd come to see the truth behind", and the last lines "I want to stay to keep you strong, Side by side is where we belong" are almost identical to the original lines "I want to stay to keep you strong, By your side is where I belong".

What will you do at the end of the world? This question has many answers and it's interesting how the covenants in Dark Souls seem to have different answers. Way of White and Princess' Guard want to protect various gods and serve their will, Chaos Servants want to heal the Fair Lady, Darkmoon Blades want to punish sinners, Darkwraiths want to rob humanity and so on. Perhaps the only ones who I unironically think would just respond "Help people" are the Warriors of Sunlight. Solaire being representative of what they do, but the whole covenant and the community born around it, just a bunch of people intending to help those lost or stuck in Dark Souls's more difficult parts. Even years later, I still ran into WoS signs in the Remastered version. Simply beautiful.

[@Fireheart04]

Love this song so much, been one of my favorites since it was released. And I just listened to it at full volume as I beat Ornstein and Smough for the first time. And of course, I couldn't have done it without Solaire's help. This song always brings a smile to my face, and something about that moment just felt really good.

[@mrcrandberry6115]

No matter what Dark Souls threw at me, Solaire was there. Whatever situation I was stuck in, Solaire was there. Rest in Peace, my Sunbro. \[T]/

[@victoriagaba4387]

I just listened to this for the first time… the part from ‘where I belong’ made me tear up.. this is such a great song, truly. You guys outdid yourselves on this!

[@PrimarchRegalious]

I did not go into Dark Souls with the assumption that everybody got the same exact introduction just because it KIND OF told me so and this comment section is such a trip. Awesome game.

[@PrimarchRegalious]

This game opens like "BONE MAN GOD FORMS" we're all just playing Advanced Gauntlet.

"if only I could be so grossly incandescent" - Knight Solaire Keep praising old sun friend

[@Bricriu-gj9dd]

Awesome to hear another song made by the fans with your help Aviators! Thank you so much to all of you for making this wonderful masterpiece! We are incandescent! AND THAT CALL BACK TO "Where I Belong" IS JUST BEAUTIFUL!

[@simonwesterlund2151]

God, I’ve never heard a song that immidiately bring forth such emotion: hope, courage, slight hint of sadness... I’ve never played any of the Dark Souls games but goddamn if this ain’t a bop!

[@ratjam5882]

I LEGIT STARTED CRYINF WHEN I HEARD THE LYRICS TO WHERE I BELONG

[@leotoxkraytory1732]

The feeling i have right now is the same i always have when i am able to protect and carry a fellow comrade through a harsh and tiring battle. This truly is the hymn of the Warriors of Sunlight.

[@strigidoo]

I love the reference to where I belong! For sure, it's one of my favorite song of the album!

[@PsychoXV]

Almost 4 years I believe when Avi released this. Honestly a great song. It's easy going and relaxing. This song makes me proud to be a Sun Bro!

[@Claude_Lib]

It was an honor, I can't thank you enough. Also, the "WIB" reference gives me chills every time I replay the song. Let the sun be praised!

[@Maribro4]

How can aviators make such beautiful uplifting music that feels like it’s perfect for Dark Souls while Dark Souls is such a dark and grim world

[@Doncroft1]

Because Solaire.

[@rizwansahib3230]

I wish I could sing but unfortunatelately...I am a cat. I can only sing in meows... *Sigh* I MISS YOU SUNBRO! 😢

[@fiercedeity9955]

You are better than most of humanity. Let it be known that cats are superior.

[@kaimerry1587]

But... cats can play piano, so do with that what you will

[@EmeraldPaladin777]

After having gotten plenty good enough to beat the game while only dying a scant couple times, I still summon the jolly sunbro often, if only to see his golden incandescence! Praise the sun!

[@KireOdranoel]

I just noticed that line "Side by side is where I belong". Amazing work Aviators, and that song "Where I belong" is also one of my favorites. Your music still suprise me sometimes

[@ShadowTheParrot]

Your songs are really helping me with depression in all honesty, I just want you to know that your are helping me through the struggle of life, and make me look forward to the next day everyday!

[@floppafan2246]

I will always remember the sunbros from all of my many playthroughs and will live on in my memories, even though the multiplayer function of the game was killed. Rest In Peace solaire and his sunbros

[@nintendoryan2245]

Man you got 70 people to join you and sing, thats dedication right there let me tell you. You have loyal fans. I cannot wait for the day you hit a million subscribers.. Also I LOVE THE CALLBACK TO WHERE I BELONG!!! You keep making great music!!!!!

This is not synthpop this is a masterful ballad which makes me cry everytime

[@GodLoverOdin]

OMG I LOVE THIS, I've been reading while listening to music for a couple hours now. But this song forced me check what it was called, I had to add this to my main playlist. THIS IS AMAZING!

[@TechThroughHistory]

From this day forth, this will be my theme song and when I make my first million, I will remember Solaire. Jolly fellow. Plus, we need this kind of music in our lives. Positive 80s synthpop.

[@RedDiamondEleven]

Thank you so much Aviators for making this song! As a souls fan for many years hearing a song for the knight of jolly cooperation warmed my heart! Thank you so much!

[@cinnamon7591]

hands down the most amazing songs from aviators are soulsbourne inspired - fking amazing i like the darker ones more but all of them are amazing

[@BloodSlinga]

I may not have any friends in real life, but Solaire is the greatest friend I could ever ask for. Keep praising the sun, buddy. You'll always be grossly incandescent in my Heart. \[T]/

[@Spectrik]

You will find your solaire someday

[@91jubaku]

SunBros always have friends, even if you haven't met them yet

[@shad3revo111]

Praise the Sun till we all go Hollow!

[@dravenshadow9002]

Then keep praising till we turn to ash.

[@TruePT]

Hollow actually in old English means "Holy" just something I thought was kinda cool.

[@thegregitto]

Aviators always gets the vibe of every Soulsborne song just right. My favorites are Wake Me When It's Over, Fading Light, and of course, this masterpiece.

[@bravotone6637]

I want to stay to keep you strong, Side by side is where we belong. The most meaningful line for me.. Am I the only one who loves when Aviators slips in these nods to his older songs?

[@sterlingshadowx]

I always love it. He does this every now and then and it's especially meaningful if you have been following his music for the better part of the last decade.

[@umcaraqualquer9527]

This song once had a lot of meaning for me. Now every time I listen I feel the bitterness of been cast aside for someone I used to care. Careful with friends that will "forget" you when they find someone "better".

[@centurion8515]

This song puts a smile on my face and a tear rolling down my face, praise the sun

[@insulttothehumanrace3807]

This... this is absolutely beautiful, Aviators. Thank you for sharing this masterwork with us. I'll have this on loop every time I lay down my sign.

[@EpicToastish]

the pure feeling of comradery and bravery made me cry tears of joy.

[@DerVasto]

Wow, how have I not found this in the past? This hit me hard, reminds me of how I thought Solaire was gone, only to see his summon sign one last time in the Kiln. The greatest gift the game could´ve given me, for coming this far.

[@scarletknightreterns1893]

I did not think a song would make me cry so much. I cannot help but imagine the heroes of my story, united to act as a shining beacon of hope for those who are being consumed/ or live in a realm where the darkness has devoured the sun, and that darkness from an ancient evil is seeping into other realms... I feel so motivated and I simply adore the message behind this song; though, you DarkSouls/Demon's Souls songs have never ceased to simply amaze me!

[@seijitheicedrake9487]

warriors of sunlight theme

[@borneoardhani3844]

"Forgive me Solaire, I wasn't patient enough. I'm sorry I couldn't get 30 humanities to save you. You taught me to always stay positive in this Dark and Depressing world. Solaire, do you remember our greatest moments together? - When I first met you, we're gazing at the sun together - When you helped me defeat the gargoyles and help me rang my first bell of awakening - When we fought that Giant gross-looking dragon in the depths - The struggles when we faced the infamous anor londo guardian - When you ask me to become the heir of the sun - And when we kill the centipede demon I help you to find your own sun, but at what cost.. Look Solaire! Look at me now! I've grown, I'm not the same weak warrior that you've met back in the undead burg. Now I'm going to link the first flame, I'm going to link my own Sun.. No.. I'm going to link OUR Sun. May we meet again and embark on another Jolly Co-operation Solaire. Shine on, Jolly fellow." - My chosen undead at the sunlight altar while giving his last sunlight medal before fighting Gwyn

[@StarRacerAutoBot]

i know this is 3 years later.. but my man. you can genuinely save him as one of his own warriors of sunlight! it is quite difficult but if you do not speak to him in anor londo and rush through demon ruins you can go backwards through the passage, and before he does.. gather that bug to save him. then just return to him and talk to him!

[@josephthebear7072]

Awesome work Avi! This song is amazing and does show the type of character the NPC is,as most of your songs do.
