Now the old one awakens once again and its blood stream from the depths to the city of Yharnam. The art of soul and sorcery returns, and soul devouring demons raise havoc once again. Fear the old blood. Yeah, so what I bridge the two games. It make more sense if fromsoft had put more work into it. Not labor but giving us the "true" BloodBorne. Don't forget there were plans for demons to take place in bloodborne from the cut content. Can't say they that's canon, but why not.

The magical nostalgia this game gives me of my college days (2011-2015). Back when I was so hooked into the Souls games, it was also a moment I tried new things that would eventually shape my current career and hobbies, met people who who eventually become my lifelong friends, and met a girl who would eventually be with me for the rest of my life. Thank you very much Demon's Souls for all of the wonderful memories you have given to me.

[@TheTorridestCheese]

Through all the blood, sweat, and tears, you finally reach the Old One, however you are forced to leave behind the one who helped you throughout your entire journey. As the credits role and this song plays, you see images of all the bosses you fought over and over again to defeat. Sad, yet so satisfying at the same time. Such a beautiful ending.

[@dopaminecloud]

The amount of passion, effort and artistry in this series feels like pearls before swine sometimes. I suppose it is the fate of all massively popular things. Especially in a medium primarily enjoyed by teenagers.

[@TheTruestZero]

The singer alone in the beginning gives the sensation of someone singing a lullaby for you, them the instruments begins to take place, as your mind along with the beatifull voice takes you to a deep slumber. The pace is slow and the happy change of the music could be related to having a nice dream, them the song returns to it's original pace, near the end it changes to a rather mysterious rythim, and goes back to only the singer remaining. Maybe you woke up, or you just drifted away in the eternal sleep, who knows.

[@HombreQuemado]

Or maybe the song is reflecting the old one's return to slumber. And the end reveals that we've only postponed the inevitable. That the Old One will awaken again.

[@TheTruestZero]

+Sean De La Torre Long time reply But it seens that The Souls Series is pretty much "You never free the world of the danger, you only delay the inevitable". Kind sad if you think on it too much. You can't kill the Old One, just make him slumber again to, one day, the cycle begin anew. You can link the bonfires and use your body as fuel for the first flame for a little more time, or just leave and plunge the world in dark.

[@HombreQuemado]

Well dark souls 3 is about "the end of the world" according to Miyazaki. So I'd imagine we'll get to see what happens once the cycle finally comes crashing down.

[@majema007]

I wish this game could be remastered. There is just something so beautiful about the message Demon's Souls has about humanity. It's one of the most hopeless yet most hopeful games I have ever experienced when I was a kid. Just knowing that despite the state Boletaria is in by the end, the game can still end on a hopeful message that not every human is hungry for power (assuming you just walked away in the end). This kind of ending is something I really wish I could see in a few more games. A lot of developers try and make players feel like the end moment should be epic by having a huge orchestra playing in the background or some long-winded speech about what was won or lost. That's not to say games like that have terrible endings, but Demon's Souls ending is amazing because of how simple it is. The player succeeds in doing the right thing and despite how this should be a victory, this song is like a bittersweet reminder that while the world might be saved, there is so much pain and suffering because of the corruption humanity submitted to beforehand. Only through fighting for those such as Stockpile Thomas, Ostrava, and the Maiden in Black can you see what makes this world worth preserving, even at the expense of the Soul Arts. And how this makes Demon's Souls such a powerful game is how players are the one's who chose to help these characters, with just the gameplay mechanics in hand and not some button prompt shown in a cutscene. Demon's Souls respects the intelligence of its players by letting it own world show us how in disarray everything is, it doesn't need to bog the experience down with needing to explain the fate of every character, and instead it just opts to let players choose for themselves on what kind of person they want to set out to be in a hellish world. And I damn well know that when I chose not to make the same mistake that so many others have made in the end, that there is no better feeling knowing that I chose humanity over total power that corrupts.

[@Odinsday]

DeS is probably the "happiest" game in the entire series. You get a clear choice of the evil path, killing the Maiden and pursuing power, or leaving the Maiden with the Old One as to preserve humanity at the expense of soul arts. Dark Souls 1 completely throws that shit out the window and just says "You either preserve a dying age of fire perpetually, or become the Dark Lord. Either way, you motherfuckers are gonna die." It's probably the most cynical game in the series looking back on it. Not even Dark Souls 3 or Bloodborne were this bleak. It's one of the few games that actually does an ending like this right. The ending of Dark Souls 1 kind of scarred me in a way. It is seriously one of, if not the bleakest game I have ever played. DeS in comparison is oddly hopeful and optimistic and I was shocked to find this out when I first played it. I don't know if Miyazaki hit a mad depression spiral or something but man....

I don’t care what people say. The original version of Return to Slumber is better than the new version. I still love the new one, but this… this is absolutely divine.

[@matthewfera2954]

The new one is just different, and I appreciate it for that but the original feels more "correct" for the mood its trying to envoke. "Slumber", it's in the name. And this one, while pretty and moving, remains fairly stagnant as far as sounds and instrumentation so it maintains a sort of melancholy peace throughout. The new one is more of an epic arrangement, with more swelling sections and loud spots. Sounds great, but doesn't really feel like slumber to me.

[@paranoidandroid1350]

Most of the older versions were better in my opinion. Maybe it's just nostalgia...

[@paranoidandroid1350]

@What? ? Older ones were memorable. It needed some upgrade to be more consistent with game graphics upgrade, but composer definitely overdid it. Every OST sounds like generic fantasy, Elden Ring has the same problem.

Demons souls has a few good pieces, (Old one, flamelurker, extr) but then you have unremarkable, unmemorable pieces like return to slumber, dragon god, extr. And how does having two pieces of music play for the endings make the soundtrack good? I dont get it.

[@aizenps3]

andrew wheeldon Return to slumber is the most memorable.. it's the theme that played after you beat the game.. it's the song that made you realize that all your hard work is worth it. btw it shows artworks of all the bosses that you defeated. while one who crave souls made you realize that you did the wrong thing. and shows the lonely faces of the NPCs. even if Ostrava is wearing a helmet you could feel the sadness in his soul.

It does sound like they were trying to recreate this piece's glory. Fell a little bit short though.

[@thecreator625]

Shimesaba When you speed up the Nameless Song by 2 times, it sounds like a long phone ring tone.

[@dieRnoraA]

IIRC this is the credits song, and Nameless is DaS's credits song, so very likely meant to be similar as the games almost mirror each other in some respects.

[@amazingkomaru]

I thing that Dark Souls version is better. This has littlebit too much melody on it.

[@Xenos369]

This, Nameless Song and, Milfanito Song in DSII are very similar

[@anoofhaikalmohamed825]

this absolutely one of the

[@estebanxmoreno4127]

I just can’t stop getting sorrow with this master piece. Simply a master piece...

[@IamCaptainMan]

I'm a game master for the Call of Cthulhu tabletop rpg system and I've noticed that the Old One shares a lot of similarities with Azathoth, the HP Lovecraft god. A large mass at the center of the universe who is omnipotent, but lies in a semi-conscious, unconscious state, and is generally unaware that he created the planets, animals, humans, and all supernatural creatures. Reality is a dream that Azathoth is having, and when it wakes up, everything will disappear. Because of that, powerful entities have to sing it to slumber eternally so we can continue to exist. It's said that Azathoth created the entire universe, and will ultimately destroy it. The Old One is very similar to Azathoth, but it appears to have at least some form of consciousness that compels others to bring it souls. Eventually, all souls will be back to the Old One, and when that happens, the universe will completely empty, except for it, until one day, it will release them all in big bang like fashion, creating a new universe.

Not me holding back my tears every time i go back to listen to this ost

[@adasdadd.252]

demon's souls ost was the best imo (maybe tied with bloodborne) but this borders on smooth jazz...

[@omarrivera5848]

I do believe that Bloodborne's ost is better, but Demon's Souls ost is good nonetheless, even better than Dark Souls 1 and 2.

[@nirokal]

Yeah I think Demon's Souls has the best ost too, even after playing the remake which has it's own good versions of the originals masterpieces. Not only that, it was also the best game in the franchise, Bloodborne is good but og fans know it doesn't hold a candle to Demon's Souls.

[@Dzombic_]

@@nirokal bloodborne is certainly good but i prefer the simplicity of demon's souls ost

[@phreegus5494]

BRO LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO THE REMAKE FINALLY HERE

[@Tarnished-bn5gq]

The second most depressing track in the series, along with Epilogue. Both songs perfectly represent the death of the series, and I must say, The Ringed City was the perfect end for the souls series, I almost don’t want Elden Ring because of that, and I especially would be infuriated if there was ever a DS4.

[@moustachio05]

Elden ring, bloodborne, sekiro and demons souls don't take place in the dark souls universe but yeah i hope ds4 won't ever come out ds3 was the perfect end to the legendary trilogy

[@Z_Moonlight-]

@@moustachio05 for me bloodborne is part of the souls series, the lore is left to the player after all.

[@ChocolateGold]

This sends chills down my spine...wonderful.

REMAKE BROTHERS LET'S FUCKINGG GOOOOOOOOOOOO UMBASA

[@DBZGTNOA3]

I hope no wait I dream that one day the creators of Demon Souls and Dark Souls will create more of these games but more harder, more detail, more of everything in the future. This game must not and will not die.

[@paulmoitoso9658]

So many tracks from the Souls series signify its end, but I think this one possibly does it the best.

[@JayYoungs1992]

I'm sooo happy that the remake is announced! I had tears of joy 😊

[@christianospina48]

love this

[@matthewmoore1780]

this is literally the most outstanding track in the souls franchise. It sounds so different from the entire DeS-DSIII score, I'm not a music major so I can't really explain it but

[@Yawyna124]

Yeah, this and song of the milfanito which essentially has an identical theme are vastly different due to the different stylings of boss fight OST and a lullaby. Definitely close to my fondness of the Majula theme.

[@generalgrievous4851]

This ost has woodwinds and a rythm so much different from the other soulsborne songs the way the piano is played. It also has either a string technique not used in other songs or played at an octave that ive never heard in other songs in the series. It sounds so american/japanese theatre-esque

[@codybender5332]

1:38 is so amazing and when the clarinet kicks in it feels like an anime tbh

[@mexsaiyanvegeta1882]

to love and never want to love again. demon's souls you overwhelm me with feels. I love this game to much

[@redseagaming7832]

Also this song is portraying the dark fate that happened to Demon's Souls where it was almost forgotten by a lot of people until the PS5 version was announced
