I'm not shitting you, nobody has captured the very essence of the DT saga like you have in the form of music. I'd love to see what you could do with an orchestra

[@BggProductions]

Thankee big big sai. I'd love to have the power of a full orchestra at my hands!

[@Annvian]

All of your songs about The Dark Tower series are absolutely amazing but this!

[@BggProductions]

Thankee sai!

[@cuthbertallgood7781]

I think this might be my favorite of your DT compositions. The first part brings to mind in me a sort of "lonely child of destiny", if that makes any sense. A young boy trying to understand what's going on, trying to make some sort of connection, both with life and people. This works with both Young Roland and Jake, in a bit different ways. Then I love how the second part takes the theme and plays with it, letting it build, and the Gunslinger emerges at the end, forged out of the fiery roar. Really excellent. I hope you get inspired to produce more.

Jesus, man, your work is unbelievable. You took the atmosphere of the books out perfectly. You just make the story live in me longer and longer. Thanks. And, honestly, you should be given much more credit for this work.

[@BggProductions]

Thank you very much!!

[@Ender080192]

BggProductions Have you read anything from Haruki Murakami maybe? I have "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" in mind in particular.

[@simomyers689]

Complimenti, tanta stima per il vostro lavoro. Un saluto dall'Italia.

[@TheTheSkeletalgent]

You do great work! I think it's amazing that you, as a fan, made all of this music on your own… and it makes me all the more hopeful that one day soon they'll announce that darn movie and get this all the attention it deserves. Still, I'm sure you've led at least a few people to discover this absolutely epic series, and so you've enriched both their lives and the Dark Tower community, humble as we are. Long days and pleasant nights, Sai!

[@TheLastNickAvailable]

Great job Sai! Thankee big big for taking us to the Mid World... Makes me wanna go back again, walking along the Road with our beloved Ka-Tet... You did not forgot the face of your father

[@joeycentofanti1987]

I fear the movie of the Gunslinger will not ever live up to this great story.

[@BULLTRONHERO]

Fear confirmed. The movie was a warm sack of wet garbage.

" 'Cort, I want you, bondsman!' The boy saluted formally. 'Teach me no more, bondsman. Today I teach you' "

[@gorgarslan]

Eh,,, Dear Jake... I will miss you my boy... and thank you Sai! May God bless you for all your great works!

[@rudylee3306]

I'm reading Dark Tower for the first time, and this piece is stunning.

[@yurimyszkowski]

respect from Brazil! Good days and pleasant nights for you!

[@MrSentinel83]

I really enjoy the organ sound. It really adds that dark fantasy/horror menace.

[@Harael4550]

This is one of my favorite instrumental pieces ever. Perfectly captures the tone of the books.

[@johnnyscarlotti4566]

Great work bgg

[@0ejmusik0]

thats super awesome man! i'm gonna have to look into that series

[@michaelfataaikitama3096]

Excellent.

[@tlatosmd]

I find it interesting that you seem to base most of your DT compositions on progrock which was an offshoot of psychedelic rock in the style of namesake King Crimson, Jethro Tull, and the likes. Sai King (or at least his own alter ego in the books) admits to the fact that he wrote most of Book 1: The Gunslinger on or inspired by a heavy mescaline trip in the early 70s, and I think it shows in that first volume, making it the best of the entire series for me. It's also why I think a decent movie adaption especially of the first book should be based in style upon the mescaline trip scene in the desert from Oliver Stone's "The Doors" (1991) which plays out with their song "The end" on the soundtrack to the scene. I wonder what would come from it if you saw the film, maybe it'd inspire you to more music particularly for the first book, even with slight inspiration from that scene and its music?

[@blainethemono7622]

Even though I listened to this many times, I can't help admiring your passion and talent at every opportunity I can find. Are you still working on other songs about DT? Would you mind updating your fans about that? Volume III maybe? And as always, thankee sai.

[@Qvkeg]

Спасибо!

[@joeycentofanti1987]

This morning i was thinking about what Jake's theme might sound like...this is great

[@BggProductions]

Thankee sai.

[@chrisjones7594]

Thankee sai

[@htehbya6457]

Thankee-sai for uplading

[@Dragonquest744]

Jake es mi personaje favorito, mi regalón :3

[@victorcordova3065]

More please!

[@goffmatt]

Sounds lonely. Very fitting.

[@Uncle-Jay]

I often wonder if Roland could have still continued his quest if he had not let Jake fall. I believe in the book it's stated Roland believed he needed to do that in order to use the doors, but I think that may have just been a lie implied by Walter O. Dim, what if the doors had always been there just waiting? It's already been established the old ones had easy access to other worlds, those doors could have just been long lost technology that was finally fading out.

[@michaelp772]

Poor Jake.

[@Redacted-mi4rm]

Damn...

[@joeycentofanti1987]

This is awesome

[@andrefinnigan8780]

this one is almost better than "tull" tango. Grazie-sai

[@faithsanspeur]

At least Jake had the gunslinger to kinda help when his mind split. What do you think Vincent Corey?
