Epic Post Apocalyptic Music - Dawn - Sad Piano Music

Learn how to make trailer music: courses.evenant.com/p/the-aspi...
Finally a new Epic Post Apocalyptic track! This one is kind of a follow-up to my popular track, Annihilation. This piece is also set to a post-apocalyptic world. Now, the people have started building up a new society from the ruins of the old era. They dream about a new world, without war and suffering. Yet, behind the strong hope, lies the mourning over the loss of everything from the earth they once knew. Still, they hope for a new and better place, a new "Dawn" where the sun will rise again. I hope you will enjoy this one!

"But in the end, it's only a passing thing, a passing shadow. Even the darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those are the stories that stay with you. That mean something." - Samwise, Return of the King

[@kutlayzr]

The year is 2023 and still no music has been created that surpasses the influence of this music.

[@feelmyfreshlyshavedlegs3979]

This song has so much emotion in it. If you watch The Walking Dead then you will know how dramatic and emotional death scenes are, and the sad yet beautiful music that goes with them. This song has the same feel to it making me imagine an apocalyptic situation where a loved one was lost. I was in tears by the end. Thank you for such a touching piece. I hope to hear your music on TWD someday. :)

When light is called to awaken, When the seal of time be broken, May the sea unleash it's constant cries, May the summit release its cold, May fire burn all evil away, So darkness can be the cloak, May the ground and it's secrets awaken, And may the storm once more Bring the might of the sky to earth. Your music helped me write this for a story I'm writing! Thank you, sir

I hope you don't mind but I used half of this poem, and wrote another half to add on to it for a video edit I was doing, don't worry I didn't post it online, I just did it for fun! I can post what I wrote in another comment if you want :)

Out of all the 3 recent Fallout games released, I appreciate FONV the most. It's the most lore friendly, it ACTUALLY has factions with a ton of lore behind them, meaningful choices(more than fallout 3 and 4 combined), it addresses a lot of the events from previous games, The factions actually have moral standards instead of just helping settlements(preston) or genocide(BoS in the commonwealth), And it has superior mods and stability on the PC. Also screw console mods. ALSO FONV CAN ACTUALLY RUN ON A LOT OF PCS! Potato and PC Elitist rigs can run New vegas without lag if you know what you're doing. Unlike FONV, Fallout 4 is the most poorly optimized game on the market currently, sure new vegas has bugs and low graphics on the consoles, but on the PC there are so many ways to fix that. I have a mid grade potato pc that can run new vegas on high at a steady 55 to 60 FPS, also i edited the NVSR ini file to make the min fps 15 and the max fps 60, even when my current pc(a 2010 HP on windows 7 home) was a potato pc it could still run FONV on medium and even high when I changed the settings with the NV configurator. Also the most important thing is that FONV has a long lasting effect on the Fallout modding community, that being it's amazing ability to be modded and not crash and also have the ability to stay alive since its release and even up to this date, new vegas, in my opinion, was and is a giant milestone in my time playing on PC, it drove me to upgrade my PC over the past few years and FONV drove me to learn how to install ENBs and texture packs and edit my games and most of all, how to install mods without the NMM when needed. Fallout New Vegas is most likely my favorite game besides halo 1 and halo wars 1 and DOOM 2016. Also I have over 1000 hours logged on Fallout New Vegas on my old steam account which now belongs to my brother. I hope people will actually read this and realize how much New Vegas has done for me and a lot of other people on the PC. Also not all mods(actually a shitload) are cheats, it pisses me off, even triggers me when people say that all modding is cheating. Its not you console peasants.

After the bombs have fallen. After the children weep over their losses. After a hero falls in the dust, a new hero will take over and lead the people onward. After we rebuild, we will live, and thrive. We will bury the dead, and fight this virus to the brink of its existence. After it all, there is still hope, my fellow Angels. ~Noah Reach (Ace) Thank you Arn again (this may be my 5th or 6th comment today) Your music gives me inspiration for ideas, like the little thing I did above, just popped right in my head. I am writing a story, named Lost: Angels. and itis coming out great, hank you for inspiring music :)

[@Tyme_Whyrlwynd]

Story time! 250 years after the Apocalypse started, humanity has been slowly, but surely rebuilding itself. The leader says: "No more pain, no more war, NO MORE APOCALYPSE!" Everyone is cheerful and proud of the man. They rebuild Earth and continue colonising Earth. Millons of people love the man's idea. Once the man dies of old age, his son continues his work. The scientists that work for him, say that humanity should start colonising other planets, on an interstellar scale. And they do what they want. They colonise many other planets, and terraform them easily. The planets are very capable of keeping the human race stable. Now we are sure, humanity won't become extinct as easily now. If there are aliens, humanity would be glad to communicate peacefully. Even if they're agressive, they will try to make them happy. The entire Milky Way is a place of life and happiness. Humanity is succesful, and even interested of intergalactic travel. Sorry for any typos. Anyway, this is the first thing i came up with when i was listening to this absolutely BREATHTAKING song. It's amazing man. I wish i was good at making music like this. I would love to learn more about making music like you do. Thanks for making my ears happy. -Jack_DvR, a new subscriber.

[@Dorito8052]

Wow if only it was that easy it would probably take i dunno 5 7 9 10 generations to make humanity a working civilization again and more to terraform the planets unless they were using future tech otherwise great

Really cool story but think of this, the earth in fact is very old and with such new technology what if the world fell apart and became an apocalypse? Then when everything is gone and destroyed man become caveman again, and so on and eventually they will become back to the same amount of technology before when everything fell apart and no one knew thier acestores had the same amount of tech
