Aviators - Red Water Dreams (Acoustic Rock)

@@TheEpicGenesis We just passed our one year anniversary of the game, and The Watcher is a God, the Bleeding Sun just had an anarchist uprising we had to save people from, and we're about to launch ourselves headfirst into a god war to end all wars. I'd say Aviators would be proud. As a matter of fact, our DM just put this song as our next lil piece of lore to crack in the context of the game, hence why I'm here to relisten for clues!

[@TheEpicGenesis]

@@abbyj8915 Well firstly congrats on having the campaign going for so long, that's really awesome! I have no idea how your DM managed to set up the world in such a way to fit the song's lore but it sounds like they did a phenomenal job! What characters are you playing and have other clues or songs been used throughout? Ahh I wanna know all the things. This is one of my favorite of Aviators' songs personally so that's exciting as well.

[@abbyj8915]

@@TheEpicGenesis I'm almost embarassed to say I am woefully uneducated on Aviators lore- it's the DM's favourite band, so he's been the one to make it all work. But we're all getting super invested because he's hinted that this song fits several of our characters in different ways, including but not limited to a trainee/new God, an eldritch-wielder hellbent on painting a new world, someone who died 15 years ago and is now in the present day, someone from 1968 Russia (the game is set in 2200), a werewolf with a blood addiction, and a member of a tribe from a teleporting planet.

[@MrStonehengeX37]

The same here. As always, Aviators' music embraces me in the bittersweet feeling which has no equal. Oh dear Agony, once again I'm with you, I am home.

[@nazy5187]

@@TheTurtlePenguin Can you tell me where is the agony reference from?

[@TheTurtlePenguin]

@@nazy5187 I wrote a poem a while back ago, and the poem is devoted to Pain, her daughter Agony, and her granddaughter Desperation. The three women are personifications of the respective feelings, and depict how these emotion give birth to one another. I guess others might have used the same kind of analogy, but I did not conciously take the idea anywhere.. so I'd say it originates in this case from my own feelings and my expression of them.

And Avi said that God Hunter will include stories about "other heroes from different albums"... I am super excited And I rally hope that there is a song about, who I think, is the most mysterious character Avi has created: The Watcher from the album Oceans to Skies

Yes, the Watcher and the Rogue (the woman on the From Oceans to Skies cover) are both characters in this story and they're also portrayed on the album cover for Godhunter, together with the Hunter and the Traveler (from Let There Be Fire).

Our lips are our own-who can stop us?” The Lord replies, “I have seen violence done to the helpless, and I have heard the groans of the poor.

[@Solyolvimir]

This song almost perfectly fits in with a series of homebrew D&D campaigns that our 8 person group have gone through, and with one character in particular forwarding technological progress and forsaking the gods, and eventually going on to wage an interplanetary war with the armies of those gods and their avatars. Thus proving not only that they were greedy, lying, cowards, but that the rules they're supposed to exist by are also broken by them regularly. This current campaign is set in the aftermath of that great war, and explores D&D without the presence of the gods or planes. Definitely adding this to one of the playlists I've made, wonderful work

Either way, have a great day and thanks for the wonderful song.

[@sillyputtyisfun7567]

Well the legend of the hunter is literally about a human who was cursed with immortality going on a blood path of revenge to kill Eldritch Gods and the Evil they spawn. So you are already listening to something like that. This is the sort of song I'd expect to hear too when it came to a legend of a hero watching those she wishes so desperately to save still dying as she struggles to make it to the top of that evil tower, desperate for revenge and to save those still screaming and wallowing in pain and rivers of blood down below. A song fitting of such a struggle.

[@dragonridertechnologies]

This is really awesome. I had liked some of your other songs for the sound or for the stories they told, but this set really impresses me.

Less than a week to go before Godhunter comes out! I can't wait. Since this came out on Bandcamp with the pre-order of the album, I've heard it somewhere around 100 times. I love this song. It has such a nice melody to it, and the chorus is, to put it simply, amazing. I love the shift in tone between it and the verses, and I love the range of it. I think that if the other songs keep up with this (and the other two releases have been amazing to me, too), then we're in for a real treat with this release. I can't wait to see you on the release stream in 6 days, and I can't wait to hear the rest of these amazing songs. As always, I hope you have a wonderful day, and I hope you keep making music for time to come. I believe that, one day, you will reach the level of fame that you deserve.

At the end of all things the hero knew this was a one-way trip. With all the pieces in play now is the time to strike. With the heroes of the people struck down by betrayal during the middle of the night by fire and flame, the people lost all hope. But then came sunrise. When the enforcers flooded the streets and took all of the elders to be executed in the river, that hopelessness was transformed into rage. The people rioted, they rebelled. They threw their bodies upon the cogs of the machine as the blood soaked streets of the city were continuously sprayed with the crimson of Martyrs from the scaffolding above. And in that chaos The shield that was protecting both the city from the bleeding Sun and the ascended from the god hunters wrath, came crashing down. And with it came the power source for the ziggurat's anti air turrets. She placed her right hand on the acceleration control of the gunship they so aptly named "The Reckoning", and looked back to her compatriots. "Are you ready for this?" she asked. "I am.." the monk replied. "As ready as anyone will ever be on a suicide mission" joked the archer as she tied up her hair in a low ponytail. "Then let this be the last flight of the stargazers.." said the immortal angel's child that's the gunship accelerated forward and gained elevation. She smiled inwardly as they all quickly came to realize that not every anti-air turret was powered down. It wasn't too long before one of the rare engines was struck and operating below 50% efficiency. But it didn't matter. Because they all knew that if humanity was to survive they would have to reach the garage. Even if they had to ram the Reckoning straight to the front door.
