Lyv - SICARIUS [A Baldur's Gate 3/Dark Urge Fan Song]

[@viperv6768]

I need more Durge songs who don't resist. I adore villain songs, and a Durge who barely has any memories but still chooses and truly adores violence is perfect.

[@Lyveriana]

Glad you like it!

[@5Demona5]

That's the best way to play Durge, for me. I wanted a game where I could be a murder-hobo and Larian delivered. I wasn't missing out!

[@AndrewMorris-wz1vq]

@@5Demona5 Path of the Righteous had some very fun murder hobo play, though a little more tongue in cheek moments. BG3 was definitely some of the most sinister story I've played.

[@edeni7933]

You may not even like the words, you may not mean it, not want it, not even think over it, but you will sing and dance along, just automatically. And this is what The Dark Urge is.

[@Lyveriana]

Writing this sure was... An experience, haha.

[@anna-friedavandyk]

I was not expecting it to be about a non-resist Durge- but I absolutely love the rhythm. It had a sinister nursery-rhyme to it in the chorus which I really enjoyed

[@Lyveriana]

That was the plan! I'm considering doing a resisted urge, also. But this one seemed like the more interesting take, for now! Though I definitely will keep thinking on it, for a little bit. The people who appreciate the durge's depravity are about equal with the people who love for them to move past their birthright. So it's a definite, interesting split. Did you know the 'latin' lyrics here are spell components found in the game? A fun fact for being so fast to comment here!

[@anna-friedavandyk]

@@Lyveriana ​ @Lyveriana I'm definitely in the "their redemption is only as good because of their depravity." I feel like, if it does happen- both could coexist harmoniously. Side note: I did not know the Latin is actually components in the game- how neat! (I know sicarius means assassin- but that was it lol)

[@Lyveriana]

​@@anna-friedavandyk Unrelated, but I thought you might appreciate knowing. A Resist the Urge Durge song is coming up next :)

[@anna-friedavandyk]

@@Lyveriana I do appreciate it- Dark Urge can be such a nuanced character. I look forward to it immensely (especially since your character songs have been my favorite to come out of the fandom.)

[@unturned6066]

@@Lyveriana Huzzah!

[@edeni7933]

I keep listening and it feels more and more perfect. It is the very quintessence of The Dark Urge - and not even of a character but of the force inside them. It's not even as aggressive as it is overpowering, overwhelming. It's so lulling and and at the same time tonic, enthralling and catching, it's very easy to let it just carry you away, to turn off your consciousness, to stop your thinking... to control you. It makes you sing and dance along. And then it suddenly stops and leaves you in emptiness, and you instantly come back to your senses and you are in the middle of nothing and don't realise what happened. And do I speak about The Dark Urge or your song? I speak about both and that's why your song is so perfect

[@edeni7933]

I love it, especially the rhythm, it feels strangely meditative despite being so horrible and it fits Durge perfectly

[@asd-iv1uf]

everything about this song- from the marching drumbeat, the steady humming of the hurdy gurdy(?), and the rolling rhythm of the lyrics give this song a sense of dreadful, pensive inevitability that captures the durge's struggle so well. a durge's dirge, if you will, yes i see what you did there. march, until no soul remains, not even your own!

[@Lyveriana]

YEP! Spot on :) Keen ear! And I'm glad you like it :)

[@SnipeOSRS]

Might be a long shot, but do you have an instrumental version? Including the hums and laughing in the background and all, just without singing? I really love the almost ethereal sounding background. I've been addicted to this for the past few days now.

[@Lyveriana]

@@SnipeOSRS I don't, unfortunately. I might bring those out in the future sometime but it's not the plan now. If you like this sort of thing, I can recommend the Sennua Soundtrack, though!

[@SnipeOSRS]

@@Lyveriana alright, worth a shot. I'll check out the soundtrack, thanks for the speedy reply!

[@dan_mnght]

Happy I could recognize what the "mors tua vita mea" line meant even tho I know next to nothing of latin but only through the heritage of the dead language to portuguese (my birth language. also "dead language" hahah, seems like the Urge comes with death in more than one way) "mors tua vita mea" would read directly as "morte tua vida minha" but arranged to "tua morte, minha vida" "your death, my life". Very cool. Love the vibes, will play as a Durge someday to see the story but I know I will tear my heart in pieces because I have too much attachment to fictional characters to totally bask into the experience T-T Sick music, straight to my "Lyv's BGIII Songs" playlist XD keep it up Lyv, your songs have been showing how much fun and challenging yourself youve been doing recently, always great to see a fellow artist break through and experiment with new things and styles.

[@Lyveriana]

That's so cool! I just used the game's spell components, so the latin's translations weren't really up to me haha. But I picked that *and* Ira et dolor, because it worked well and added a chool chanty idea! I'm glad you're enjoying the song though, as always! And thanks for your wonderful insights! .

[@CarsonTLM.]

Okay firstly, this song is amazing, I started playing BG3 again and went with durge and this has been blasting every combat encounter. Secondly, I think it would be awesome if you mixed your two durge songs into one, it would sound like an inner conflict/monologue within the mind of durge. Good stuff 👍

[@Lyveriana]

Many thanks!

[@AlanoAlanMoor]

I am literally covered in goosebumps from head to toe! It's so dark and deep and it feels like you're caught in the middle of some sort of ritual and it makes you feel like you're going to be the next prey but kinda in a good way x)

[@Lyveriana]

Uh oh. But thanks!

[@ManicPuppeteer]

WOOOPPPPEEEEEEE! ANOTHER LYV SONG! Can't wait to play this when fighting a certain shapeshifter (plus this sounds amazing with headphones on :0)

[@Lyveriana]

Yay! I'm glad you like it!

[@evemundy4600]

I've been listening to this every morning as I get ready for work, which would not be a problem but people start to look at you funny when you hum about murder

[@Lyveriana]

Yeeeah it's one of those songs you don't really sing out loud, haha.

[@glassphoenix9095]

is the laughing at the end from all the tav voices or am i deranged? cause thats a bitchin detail if its the tavs GOD this song slaps

[@Lyveriana]

Nope! It sure is! It's from the Sentient Amulet!

[@synovialthered6003]

@@Lyverianahi again! So last night I listened to this song on repeat while I drew my Durge, (so obsessed with this one btw, great job!) and I was wondering if I could use this song in a speed paint video for that drawing?

Looks up what Sicarius means. Fuck. Latin be such a cool language. Also GHA SPIDERS!

[@Secondlyv]

It is also a phrase used in-game. The other 'latin' bits are verbal spell components, used in-game!

time to do another durge evil playthrough

[@Lyveriana]

Yess, embrace the evil times!
