Dead Gods - Hauntingly Beautiful Vocal Fantasy Music

[@KowabungaCowboy]

In the mist where silence weeps, Lies a giant's final sleep, Bones of ages washed by time, On a shore where shadows climb. A cloak of red, a soul alone, Wanders through the gray and stone, Echoes of a world long past, Mourned by waves that gently cast. Giant’s ribs, a solemn frame, Whisper tales without a name, In the fog, the memories fade, Of a life that time betrayed. On this beach where secrets lie, A lonely figure passes by, Lost in thought, beneath the sky, Where ancient giants came to die.

Read American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Do not watch the show. This is the entire theme of the book.

[@DMIwriter]

@@dannyspina5715 You might find the topic of Proto Indo-European religion interesting. They were a people that lived on the Eurasian steppes 5,000 years ago and nearly half of people today speak a language descended from their language. Many of their gods also got passed down to later daughter cultures in various forms. Their chief deity was called Dyeus Phter, literally translated as the Sky Father. This got passed down to various cultures, for example Zeus Pater (later just Zeus) in Greece, Jupiter in Rome, Tyr in Ancient Scandinavia, and Dyaus Pita in ancient India.

I like the part where the second spine sticks out of the ribcage/clavicle like an oversized chestburster. Still good AI vibes though

[@kimlee6643]

It kinda doesn't make much sense. The skull is leaning on the chin, which would not be a normal resting position since it would rotate to lay on its side/face due to sheer weight. The skeleton is also in contact with seawater, meaning that erosion would work fast and easy, meaning this couldn't be too old, which I think is the whole point of the image - unknown dead gods of another age. Never mind the bad anatomy. None of it makes any actual sense, and you want some amount of sense to instill a feeling of the fantastical. This is why AI can be so uncanny across every single subject/theme/aesthetic, it doesn't "understand" what its portraying. It's half way there though, that's for sure.

[@arandomsteve2251]

@@kimlee6643 that's what the second spine is for of course! keeping that heroic chin square and on centre.

[@mekullag]

@@kimlee6643 to me all of this helped the picture. "Good" anatomy would have suggested a big human, but this is supposed to be something entirely different. Whatever its bones are made of survived the seawater with no issue, adding to the mystery but also implying a strength and long-livedness that would have been far beyond humanity. And real artists typically make the mistake of not asking how a skeleton stayed together the way it did throughout the centuries. Aside from the way it rests on its chin you could have asked what still keeps the arm perfectly in line with the shoulder, if all connective tissue has seemingly disappeared. You´d be correct to ask that question, but since I´m (and likely most people are) so used to this error, it doesn´t even detract from an image anymore. In a video game I might just assume the thing is going to stand up and fight me at some point.

The skeleton in the picture is interesting because if it were a human, it would have fallen apart, scattered and been buried. In this picture the huge skeleton of the unknown god has seemingly washed up on shore...completely intact.

[@johannageisel5390]

Maybe the body washed ashore, then the flesh was eaten by seagulls over the course of centuries, but the divine ligaments were too strong, so they held the bones together.

[@eliteteamkiller319]

Well, there are some things about the gods most people may not know... You see, gods never truly die. Its flesh is gone, yes. But... should worshipers rediscover this god, over time, its flesh will creep out of its bones, and slowly but surely the god will be reborn. If there are no worshipers, the skeleton will remain until it is buried through eons of dust and debris, and then it will become the foundation for a new mountain, helping the mountain and forests around it grow from its residual power. That is, unfortunately, one of the worst fates for a god, because then it is extremely unlikely anyone will stumble upon it and worship it. But, the important thing here is that, in death, the god remains in some form or another, so that there is hope that one day some small sentient animals or people will stumble across it and worship it, reviving it once more.

[@statealchemist000]

Of greater days come and gone, this fact remains true. That time marches ever on, around, over, and right through. O be it said from atop mountains high, and down to valleys far below. That time crumbles things by and by, rendering all touched one day hollow. Grind down the mountain, sheer the peaks, reduced one day to sands. And echo unto one that seeks, answers in forgotten lands. Know that one truth remains unshaken, hallowed above all. The ones perceived divine were mistaken, for in the end even gods fall.

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" No thing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. - "Ozymandias" by Percy Shelley

[@martialartess]

I met a traveler from an antique show, His pockets empty, but his eyes aglow. Upon his back and now his very own He bore two vast and trunkless legs of stone. Amid the torrent of collector's jargon, I gathered he'd found himself quite a bargain. A permanent conversation piece post-prandial Genuine, certified, early Ozymandial. And when I asked him how he could be sure He showed me P. B. Shelley's signature. "Ogeniasis" by Ogden Nash [I may have missed a word or two. I was typing it from memory]

It's a dramatization of Eve being tempted by Lucifer to partake of the forbidden fruit, which brings about the fall of mankind, both removing Adam and Eve from God's presence and beginning their journey of growth, pain, joy, hardship, love, struggle, and redemption back to God's presence.

In the mists where silence reigns, A giant rests, long slain, Bones bleached by time and tide, Whispering secrets of gods who died. A crimson figure, small yet bold, Walks the shore where myths unfold, Among the remnants of power’s fall, Lost to ages, forgotten by all. Yet in the air, a mystery lingers, In the touch of salt on skin and fingers, A tale of worlds long turned to dust, Where even gods crumble, as all things must.

In the mountains, valleys, oceans, clouds, Lies temples left abandoned. Civilizations turned to dust, Old customs now stranded. I look at this place, so beautiful, so divine, The place that once flourished all around, And yet, when I look at it now, There is but a single whisper to surround. The songs, the glee, the laughter, the cheers, The joy, the sadness, the anger, the fear, Every word, every feeling, every action ever executed, No more to be seen, nor heard, for it has all concluded. I look at this playpen that I made so carefully, Filled it with unprecedented spirits and life. I realize the consequences of my actions, The demise I created, and for it I strife. In a fit of rage, I lashed out. My children now motionless, alongside their family, As I recall their flout, Towards the beings they created, that call themselves "humanity". As I look down, I notice, The humans praying like dogs, I regret my actions, and send a messenger to them, To inform them that they pray to dead gods.

The fog creeps in on silent paws, A shroud for giants, long since gone. bleached bones lie scattered on the shore, A silent testament to a power unknown. The sea gnaws at the edges of the world, Reclaiming what it once let go. The wind whispers secrets through the ribs, Of battles fought, and storms below. The world moves on, indifferent, To the titans that once walked the earth. But in the hush of the fog-bound beach, Their memory is a haunting worth.

[@Mystdragon]

In the heart of the forest, where shadows dance, My temples stand, a forgotten expanse. Enveloped by vines, veiled in green, A silent witness to what once had been. No prayers ascend, no songs resound, In solitude, my presence is drowned. The echoes of worship, a distant memory, Lost in the depths of forgotten reverie. Where do forgotten gods go, you ask, When all that remains is a crumbling task? We fade into whispers, into the unknown, In realms untouched, where time has flown. Perhaps we find solace in the cosmic expanse, Among the stars, in eternal trance. Or maybe we linger in the hearts of the few, Who remember our tales, our deeds anew. But in the end, we become one with the earth, Returning to dust, to our humble birth. Forgotten gods, lost in time's flow, We fade away, where forgotten dreams go.

Putting on my headphones and clicking the link, I was instantly transported to a hidden place deep within myself. It felt like a secluded area of my soul, though I don't quite understand how something so deep can also feel so vast. Maybe the artist who created this music could explain it. As I listened, a soft, feminine voice whispered in the background. It felt like there was a message, something important that needed to be said. The message carried the weight of existence itself, making me feel temporary and small. Life is fleeting, and in that fleetingness, I search for all the experiences I haven't yet had. Neither my home, family, love, nor work have given me even a glimpse of the feeling I get from this music - a feeling of dissolving and disappearing. It's a hidden mystery, a distant call from my soul. I want to be pulled further in, to drown deeper in its dark, distant paradise.

Amidst the swirling mists and the eternal chill of the deserted shore, Mara stood alone, her red cloak a stark contrast against the monochromic landscape. Before her lay the gargantuan skull of a creature long forgotten by time, its bones bleached and brittle, a silent sentinel of the sands. The air was heavy with the scent of salt and decay, a reminder of the impermanence of all things, even the titans of old. This was a place of endings, where the past whispered through the fog, carrying tales of fallen empires and vanquished leviathans. As Mara approached the colossal skull, her footsteps soft on the wet sand, she felt the weight of history pressing upon her. Each bone was a chapter of a story too vast to comprehend, each hollow eye socket a gaze into the abyss of time. She reached out, her fingers tracing the lines of the ancient skull, feeling the echoes of the beast's last roar as it succumbed to the inevitable embrace of death. This was not just a graveyard of bones; it was a crucible of life's fleeting triumphs and inevitable defeats, a testament to the courage to live even in the face of oblivion. With a final glance at the skeletal behemoth, Mara turned back, her spirit renewed by the solemn majesty of the remnants. She walked away, the red of her cloak fading into the mist, a fleeting yet vibrant spark in the vast, unyielding grey.

To know my real name, I desired through aeons Thence, must I stay in this web of fossils The bed shared by the gones and the prevails Where I shall no longer dream Where I shall know nothing Will it all be silent, then? Or will the noise deafen me? If the latter be, The fright may devour my rest What if the mighty speaks, And I won’t be blessed? Shall I ever not hear my name? Or do I even own one?

But i had faith in her faith. She used to ask me "why don't you believe?" I told her "i believe in you".

Dude that's crazy you say so, I'm reading "the fellowship of the Ring" and this song come on my thread while I'm in the midth of the Council of Elrond in Imladris 😮

In realms where time's forgotten sighs, Where echoes of lost prayers arise, Lies the domain of gods long gone, Their tales now whispered, hushed, withdrawn. Their names engraved in ancient lore, Yet in the silence, they are no more. Forgotten altars gather dust, Where once devout would kneel in trust. Their temples crumble, worn by age, Their power spent, lost to the page. No hymns resound, no candles burn, In crypts where once their essence churned. Their dominion, now but a dream, A faded echo in the stream Of time that flows relentless on, Long after their existence gone. Yet in the whispers of the wind, In shadows where the memories pinned, Their essence lingers, faint and cold, A tale of glory once untold. For even in their silent grave, Their legacy still dares to brave The passage of each fleeting hour, As fragments of their reign empower. So let us ponder, as we trod, The fate of gods who've met their sod. For in their fall, we too may see The fleeting nature of our decree.

Keep writing, is absolutely amazing❤

[@imacloudwatcher]

Athena - I don't think anyone would really mind if you keep on the ethereal kick forever! This is my first time on your channel. Wow, got a lot of work done today with you in my ears. THANKS!

[@matthewpearson5971]

The Old Gods have never left us and make themselves known to those they love and who are able to listen. The Olympians send their love to the virtuous.

[@danieljuniormaiacomparini7841]

It's amazing to read the comments secction while listening to this music. The vibe and the connection are unspeakable. :,)

[@masshuka]

This exact ambience gives me oddly great amount of peace… just eternal peace

[@Carefreely]

this is legit just anxiety soothing music i put it on and never turned it off

[@lifesokaymhm2270]

Beautiful I can only hope to enter dreamland and walk around listening to random lullaby tunes with the wind like this before I wake up.

[@seelenwanderung_home]

Es ist eine Reise zu uns selbst - die uns ganz still werden lässt, in den Momenten in denen wir zu laut im Außen sind. Und ein Windhauch ist wie der Atem der Welt - welcher uns seit Äonen begleitet. Was bist du? Alles! ......... Nichts!

[@athenaiv]

Thank you, that's very kind Sabrina!

[@seelenwanderung_home]

@@athenaiv you're welcome

[@mooniionthemoon]

i want a movie with this aesthetic so bad

[@ScarletAlchemist888]

thank you all and merry christmas blessings from the cosmic ozark

[@mowthpeece1]

Stunning. Just perfect. And there are no dead gods, just those we don't pay attention to. You can choose to follow any god you like, any time you like. It has always been that way.

[@RobinBasque]

Thanks!

[@athenaiv]

Thank you :)

[@ItsyaBoytheKid]

This masterpiece singlehandedly helped me pass applied calculus. Thank you!!!!!

Lets go!!! Congrats!

I am that which grips the heart in fright, hearkens night, and silences the light.

Darkness may close in Faith weak Hopelessness slices into our souls But on we go Never give up for this life is our one The next adventure awaits so till then Stay true, mighty and may thy blade of life be strong.

Carcosa walked solemnly along the beach, his long red cloak nearly grazing the water as it hit the shore. The air was heavy, and filled with the smell of rotting pomegranate. As he approached the massive former divine being, now reduced to a mere shell, he considered what may have brought down such an impossible creature. He made his way towards the skull, and began reaching up, placing a foot at the base of its jaw. With some effort, he managed to pull himself to the crevice where a nose had presumably been. An orange light glows within. Carcosa squeezed through a hole in the center, and crawled into the spot a brain once resided. He reached a hand out towards the light.

[@jennylawson1980]

Such giants of humanity fall, yet stay frozen held within the fog that cloaks them

[@ckpaige3956]

Halloween baby here. Unsurprisingly, I am a huge fan of *good* skull/skeleton imagery, art, etc. *This* is beautiful. I love it! Great job!

[@AngelDustJohn]

Beautiful music.... the best.

[@ddd-ww4vm]

Музыка заходит спасибо, приятно слышать 😊😊😊😊

[@cindybell2834]

This voice is heavenly. Sounds like mother comfrontating her children!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@ElMatador-ws3in]

I feel you near… I feel you far. I’m alone now, without my star. To guide me, to light my path… in the darkness now… i sit alone wondering, if you’ll ever come home. I can’t make a wish, I can’t reach, for my beautiful star that feel so far. Will I ever see you again near or far… or will I die alone with a sky empty of my Star…. Dedicated to CPG. I’ll never forget you, Zevezda moya…😔💖💫✨

[@bryantscott3998]

Love this type of music for studying, it is so calming and motivating in a deep, spiritual way. Hope everyone is doing well during finals month, you got this

[@mattschannel286]

There were giants on the earth in those days, and also after that, when the son’s of God came in unto the daughter’s of men, and bore children to them, mighty men of old men of renown.

[@BobomurodKomilov-x4p]

She calls to us and we come...

[@thehawk5141]

Believe it or not, this gets me through my workouts. Very peaceful.

[@diamondraskyro]

Dazzeling binding rapturous wonder, All parts of me have been blown out, asunder, waxing and waning and moving and jesting, reason unwinding and finding I’m blinding. Empty your chords and empty the skies, Empty this world birthed anew from your eyes. Empty the reason that beckons the treason. Empty the words that split forth the rise. All of this worthy, I am whole, full of glory, No tainted smith can poison this song, For all things like this cannot be unsung. Shattered and broken, undone, I am woken. All things exist for this moment. Everything will be Okay. Everything is Okay.

[@chandramoon100]

For me…. it feels so freeing & even reassuring…. I think, in life people unknowingly chain themselves too often to false gods; anything they worship or obsess over (money, power, work, alcohol, etc etc etc…) that takes them away from themselves, their purpose & any healthy balanced living. Distractions really, that if not respected & held in perspective steal from your body, mind & heart…. So yes, for me, this music has a softness & peacefulness that becomes a gentle reminder & release from any “false god” that can steal me away & hold me down in struggle & pain; ….returning me, instead, to my focus with my One & Great Higher Power…. God 💛 So yes… hear, hear to dead gods 😌

[@Annastasia666]

Not only is the music mesmerizing, but this image is to die for! Holy cow....

[@zionm-e8g]

My temple stands cold, Covered by the Vines and cobwebs. I stand alone, Forgotten and lost to time. I ache for a new song to be sung, a new soul to be born, yet i weep. old bones, broken and cracked all lay beside me, sending their final prayer.

[@LouisNothing]

I really enjoyed all the poems on here. ❤

[@NealBill984]

In places like this, people share some kind of universal understanding of existence. Something that can’t be said or explained, only felt. I wish we could all simply live in that understanding with one another forever.

[@DolusVulpes]

in nature, when a whale dies, and its carcass finally hits the seafloor, it becomes a whalefall, a teeming ecosystem full of new life that could only be brought about by the whale's death. a miracle of nature, so to speak. given this, when a god falls for the last time, never to rise again, its corpse must surely still leave behind something miraculous and beautiful, a true divine blessing, wonderous perhaps even beyond our imaginings, but only so long as we leave it to rest.

[@janmarczuk6411]

Wspaniałe do czytania lub do pracy w biurze. Można się skupić, a zarazem słuchać. Piękny dysrketny wokal. Cudo.

[@katerOk323]

Это так прекрасно, не передать словами.. слушаю со слезами на глазах❤🥺

[@gils1930]

Thank you Athena, not only have created such a deep and beautiful piece but you have attracted so many wonderous spirits to comment. Much reverent appreciation.

[@WorldofRmeil]

I can get lost in this forever.. the image paints a beautiful story

[@DarkScreenrain113]

[@Tranquility32]

Wow, this is beautiful, and I love the artwork, too.

[@kholss]

beautiful ... this song bring glimpse memories of my past life.. when i was a roman soldier

[@trtlduv07]

This is so incredible! Reminds me of Lord of the Rings (Rivendell) music. Deeply peaceful! 💜

[@gingerskelley3502]

Sometimes this is the only thing I can do to relieve anxiety and stress. But for some reason lately it will only play for 15 minutes, then stops. Idk if it's my connection, phone or what. It happens to some of my other long playing videos, sure wish I could figure it out, September 23 made 21 years since she passed away, on my mons birthday, Staci was buried on my birthday, the 1st october. With much love ,my psycho sis, still miss you, was so blessed to have had you in my life. ❤

[@XMM025]

That picture fantastic!!! And beautiful music!!! 🩶

[@tristanwalhain8601]

The voice of the singer is grand, majestic. and beautiful. Yet like the forgotten Gods, is faded into the background. Merely an echo of a powerful, shining performance that it once was

[@Мс_ПеЛеМеШкА-в2р]

love you and your channel, this is my favorite composition from Crimea, Sevastopol

[@-HellsSarcasticComedian-]

Absolutely wonderful for meditation or for those moments in life where you need to take time to yourself to really ponder the agony of an uncertain time in your life where you're terrified and don't know what to do. Thank you for this great video! 🔥💯🔥

[@NotReallyJon]

I'd appreciate more vocals such as this. It is truly beautiful, perfect for contemplation!
