Streets of Gold is a bittersweet tale in a kingdom far away, in an age long ago of magic and conquest. The traveler has fought honorably for his King, his family, and now finds himself with no one left to defend, wandering the ruined towns he once saw full of life. What is there left to do but wander, when every soul you fought for is lost?

Lyrics:
I see the golden years behind us
I'm getting scared to move along
My inspiration has subsided
Without a muse to keep me strong
I can't remember our last victory
Was it the past, or just a dream?
The world we grew to love has crumbled
With my own efforts losing steam
I think I need your hands to lift me
I think I need your light to shine
There lies a trail of fire behind us
From a warstruck, weary time
I'm going to need a guide to show me
To walk me through the streets of gold
When death will meet us at the end
Of our own lost and broken road
I've made mistakes that devastated
Too many battles lost to tell
If I could turn back to time to find you
I'd find our confidence as well
So please forgive the tears and whispers
If you are only in my head
Sometimes I want to think you're listening
When every other voice is dead
The last survivor of the fall
Without a will to live at all
The sun is setting as
No one remains my weakened call
I've come a thousand miles alone
Passed every kingdom's empty throne
And I can't shake the feeling
You'll arrange the stars to lead me home - เพลง
When the bard is the only surviving member of the party, there is no Traveler’s Song for the path home. Just the lonely silence, walking these familiar roads... these Streets of Gold.
This is actually good material for an NPC, mind if i steal that?
Ed The King It’s not stealing if you have permission. Please take it.
@@chrisschoenthaler5184 Thank you, person
Like it you have a talent for what you do 🤗
I applaud your wit kind, sir, truly worthy of being titled as bard
I almost feel a reply to that would be "My lone hero standing tall, moving through the pain and fall. the moon is rising as I strain my ears to hear your weakened call. You've a thousand more to roam. And when you feel lost and alone, never shake the feeling I'll arange the stars to lead you home."
twilightartificer Daaaaaaang
On our broken road where is my guidence love of old. Weaken and weary I ve laid down in streets of gold path of stars left from the wars in this time. A hero is you when blue it rains for you.
j b no.
@@SerV689 sorry
@@SerV689 why?
The scary part about this song is how relatable it is. A song of misplaced hope in a world with a seemingly grim future; but misplaced hope is better than no hope. It's a bittersweet symphony, and it's my favourite track on the album for that reason.
I like to think that hope is never misplaced. Faith is a real power🌟
@@Flymerick Tell that to all the blacksmiths' daughters almost sacrificed to dark powers by cultists.
@@FlyingDominion well- that's misplaced only from our point of view. That being said, praise Chtulhu.
What the fuck is this conversation
@@pressaltf4forfreevbucks179 Fantasy!
"Dirt washes away and stone wears. Iron rusts and silver tarnishes. Yet gold shines forever, so I shall build streets of gold across this barren continent that my lost friends might follow them back to me."
- Paver Glintbeard, the warforged I just made up
Pretty good for something on the spot! You should see about writing as a hobby, flex that creativity and word use
Beautiful.
Beautiful! I found this very touching.🤧❤️
Go as a writer, my friend! I have nice creativity too, but your skill to name your characters is fantastic!
@@istvanmolnar1697 Thanks. The name took about 10 minutes to come up with one I was happy with.
Sometimes you give everything you have, fight as hard as you can, sacrifice everything, and still lose.
Thats when the real heroes rise up, because after the fall, someone needs to pick up the shattered pieces and, in the quite darkness take a deep breath and start over again.
No one talks about the heroes who take a fallen civilization by the hand and lead them in their first weary sorrowful steps out of the dark and into a new dawn. No great battles, no epic quests, just quite determination and a refusal to lay down and die.
Those a really inspirational words. Nicely written.
"Come, this is no time to cry."
I always thought this song was a song about friendship, or a loved one. That's what iv interpreted. And honestly this song describes how i feel about one of my best friends (no tragic ending, she just has this way of making me feel happy despite any previous bad mood iv been in
I love it!
Streets of Gold is probably the underdog on this album, among all these songs based on popular IPs, but I also think it is one of the strongest on the album.
The balance between depressing and hopeful, in combination with the Stargazers-era instrumentation already made it one of my favorites!
This has become, in my mind, my Paladins theme song. By the end of the campaign two of his friends where dead and beyond resurrection. The apocalypse they had fought so hard to stop had happened, and the group's adoptive son and his young paladin apprentice were also probably dead. Left wandering a broken world, driven forwards by only a desire for vengeance and bleak duty, I imagine this as his theme song.
I'd imagine that the vengence would be a tale worthy of the halls of Sovanguard.
@David Shea Vengeance Paladin?
great visual, thanks
@@soltheory5611 He was by the end. He started out as a classic oath Paladin, but in the end, only vengeance made sense. He couldn't fix anything, couldn't win, couldn't make anything better. The only thing left to do was to make the people behind it all pay.
imagine playing dnd this post was made by lonely gang
I wonder what a legit novel based off of this would bring.
Get writing
@@ginghinaandrei5013 On it, boss!
There was a dnd game I once played that was based off it and it was absolutely amazing
T J Im working on it as well, but not the entire story is based off this song specifically. It’s a fanfiction with certain arcs based on several of his songs!
@@writerofdreams1578
Oh hell yeah.
I can imagine "No one will save you", "Traveler's Song", and maybe "Have Faith" would fit in there nicely.
The Traveler's song before he met the Hunter and the Rogue.
Gold lasts forever. It doesn't tarnish or change. But as the years go on, it doesn't seen to have the same sheen as it once did.
This is just so good. I can imagine how the traveler is feeling, after everything he's done, everything he's seen, every sad, happy moment that he has shared with his companions, friends, family, and everything that he protected now gone, he's all alone. It's just so sad and satisfying at the same time, knowing that the traveler did everything he could for his king and his family, that he succeeded in protecting them with all his might.
*pauses 6 seconds in after reading the song's story* ... I'm not gonna watch this, I know I'll cry if I do. Nope. I'll give it a like regardless.
it's a really good song though...
Might be a strange thing to think of, but this song feels like a call for help. Maybe it might be good to remember that we don't have to be the singer, sometimes we can be the one that is there to carry another's burdens. We can be the one to be the Light for someone who has lost everything. After all, sometimes all we need is each other.
It seems too me two people separated that have been with eachother many life times. Now the end their golden time and trying to find eachother because their light together is what it takes to set the world up high
❤️
I think in a way it is meant to be a call for help. The description says there is no one left, only the traveller. I think any human as the last one left, no matter how immortal, would still need other people, and as a result plead and cry out to anyone or anything that might be listening, so as to not be alone, purposeless.
Originally this was the low-key song of the album, but listening to it more than once, I fell in love with it so quickly. The melody is super good, the lyrics are classic Avi romantic-ness (not necessarily in the love sense but y'know), and the sound is just mmmmm. Love it, love it, love it. Tenouttaten. Play it again.
Following Aviators we will all walk on the Streets Of Gold ♥
we are The last survivors of the fall
wow master ur here >.
I am old but I am new I see the past before this time I live once more ever time I die I come back more then a 3799 time the pain I have see y can I not die I will try to do good this run
Love your light
are you planning on killing us? cause that was vaguely threatening. (this was a joke so if theres some rando just looking through the comment s calm down there buck-aroo)
STOP BEING SO GOOD
pls dont
Favourite song on the album!
Really struck close to home about losing confidence and needing help.
I dont want to talk about personal stuff or know how to put my thoughts into words but I love this song
Hey. Hope you found your confidence again.
did you find your confidence?
Beautiful song, beautiful lyrics. Just... beautiful. No other words.
SimonEvo agreed
_I've come a thousand miles alone_
_Passed every kingdom's empty throne_
_And I can't shake the feeling_
_You'll arrange the stars to lead me home_
Wonderful song~ ^^
Personally I love this part:
_So please forgive the tears and whispers_
_If you are only in my head_
_Sometimes I want to think you're listening_
_When every other voice is dead_
Ok, man, you're making it really hard to pick favorites
This reminds me so much of a character I've been working with who loses everything after a series of mistakes. She starts to wonder if it's even worth continuing to try to fix things since she's the only one left. Thank you for this song!
Moonlight wolf i’d like to read that someday
Man, I love and hate this song. I can't think of it as my characters, because this always makes me feel like the protagonist is getting old. In reality, that's never been the case so far. I just love the damn song..
This song strangely reminded me of Rick and Morty and those sad moments at the end of some episodes lamenting on how lonely Rick is in the world
This song is Pure Gold
One could say that it is a street of pure gold
Just recently in my own roleplay I introduced a new character know as the Warrior of the Laughing King. He was the last of his order, and left with nothing more to defend and no-one to entertain, he wanders the dark plains that were once so full of light and laughter. I just discovered this song, and the similarity between the character in the song and my own character struck me as astounding.
Anyway, jut something I thought was cool.
"If I could turn back time to find you
I'd find our confidence as well"
This hit hard.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
This song makes me cry
How about you?
Epicface11 Particularly if you listen to it right after Traveler’s Song.
@@chrisschoenthaler5184 Exactly what I did. I don't know if it was a mistake or just perfect ;w;
Roses are read
Violets are blue
u got me
and fvck you
@@chrisschoenthaler5184 Yes this fact is true
I fought back the tears. No tears need be shed for a warrior who fought for all he was worth; tears are insufficient
Avi’s voice makes everything sound so much better 😩💛
every new album is my favorite and every old song is my favorite, I just love your music
I don't know if the song was meant to be so relatable, but for me, it hits personally.
When I graduated highscool I felt invincible, confident and proud. After coming back and recovering from a difficult time in middleschool, discovering my passion as a writer and making lifelong friends that remain with me to this day, I was so sure the worst was behind me and the best was ahead of me. I went to college for a semester and a half and crumbled, a combination of academic failure, social difficulties and mental illnesses I didn't know I had. I came home a mess, barely able to function and having lost all confidence in myself. It's been years since then, and I still struggle with the issues that cropped up. My mental health has taken things from me, I've lost relationships, opportunities, and I've struggled to achieve the goals I've always had for myself. All too often, I feel alone and at the mercy of my own brain, and I feel like everything would be ok right now if I'd simply never gone to college. I'm only just regaining my confidence, and I want, I need, to believe that things can get better. I need to believe I'll get back everything that these past years have taken from me, that I can achieve what I want to. I don't want my high school years to be the prime of my life, and I don't want to believe that I'll never feel as happy as I did again. Again, I don't know why this song evokes those feelings in me, but it does. It reminds me of what I wish for.
Pray to Jesus Christ to heal your mind / exorcise the demon
I know it's been a year but I just want to say that I feel this on such a personal level. I'm going through the same thing right now. But there is a better future, and you'll be there for it. It may not mean much coming from me, but there are people who care about you. Keep strong
Got my introduction to the Aviators via Traveler's Song as a random recommendation here on TH-cam. Loved it, started listening to some of their other stuff. Halfway through listening to this song for the first time, I realized just what the lyrics were saying, and it suddenly just hit much differently, much harder than it was before.
Traveler's Song is still my absolute favorite song from the Aviators, but 'Streets of Gold' is an EXTREMELY close second. They're both amazing songs.
It's here! My favourite song from Let There Be Fire, this was my favourite from the moment it was played on the release stream. It's so emotional and it worked so well with the album. I hope you write more songs like this since it was an instant favourite.
fishpaste2100 yes I should listen to them more bit my mom thinks they are emo
Is this REALLY your favorite song from their Let There Be Fire album?
@@West-rk7dz That's depressing to hear anyone call the Let There Be Fire playlist emo. Poor Aviators, poor Dark Souls...
I love how the towers in the distance resemble Anor Londo
I am honored! All of your songs are so beautiful. You and your fans and all people should walk trough the streets of gold.
This is my favorite non-tribute song on the album. So lovely and mournful and hopeful in every way....
This song makes me think of the Doctor after the Time War! It just really makes me think of him, with everything he's seen, everything he's done, and everyone he's lost. Especially Gallifrey, his home planet, which he had to destroy to stop a horrible war that spanned all of time and space.
Doctor paradox?
@@alcrast6351 Who? I'm talking about The Doctor, from Doctor Who seasons 1-6 of New Who
I didn’t know who the Aviators were, but this came on my husband’s TH-cam music mix and I immediately fell in love. This song is AMAZING.
I lost my best friend recently.
your music is really helping me through
This music is to underrated, it deserves more
This feels like it could describe someone's real life.
It makes me cry sometimes, it's so relatable.
Aight I know this isn't a worship song but man it sure has that feel with the lyrics.
You're not alone with that.
「ダスティ」 Chords For Christ no but it is a song to worship
Starke talking about Pepper or even Cap. Maybe even Thor about Loki is the feel I got.
@@Debbie338 we can see here a cultist of the malls
Wilbur Demitel The fuck does that even mean?
I love this song so much. How hope is fading but still being clung onto in the darkest hour. Love listening when I feel low. Amazing job on this one, Aviators!
Ah, I see you decided to write Ardbert a theme song. Well done.
Jokes aside, musical bliss. Emotional, compelling, and cathartic, this track in particular juxtaposes so well with Traveler's Song, and is a masterpiece in its own right. Don't stop producing tracks, you're amazingly gifted, and you enrich every listener's life with your work. Thank you.
I always drink some Bourbon with honey when I listen to this. Whenever I have some wild turkey, I think of this.
Don t forget cinnamon for spice
Just finished Dark Souls 3. Maybe its only me, but this could well be Ornstein's thoughts as he seeks his old master?
my thoughts exactly!
100%. I can almost picture him looking back on Anor Londo as he walks away, sighing. But. Why should he stay? All his comrades, Gough, Artorias, And Cairan are gone, his master is a burned hollow guarding a fading flame, and now, he, the golden lion is assigned to protect a lie. Sometimes even the most loyal must move on.
@@Abysswalker8220 Gwyndolin lives still . Why leave him to the mercy of traitors and disease ?
The city in the vid does look like Anor Londo, especially the castle.
@@saifallahghidhaoui1853 My deduction is he left a little piece of his soul behind (lore shows flame souls can be split into smaller pieces) for Gwyndolin to create a functional illusion that could keep him safe while Ornstein was away trying to find NK, so he could convince him to return to Anor Londo now that his father has sacrificed himself to the First Flame. Whether it is was done so in [slim] hopes NK could've restored order to their crumbling kingdom or just because he had the chance to come back home, it could go both ways.
I waited for the moment, this will be released. I love this song so much......Thank you for giving it to us.
This song brings a nostalgic feel of Avi's sound back in GITC, BBW, etc. That's why this is my favourite song from LTBF UwU
@Mobius Music Studio ohai Skycatboi UwU
I'm getting Stargazers vibes from it. Like a fusion of Welcome to Paradise, Wolves and Meet You At The End.
Such a beautiful, emotional song. It hits particularly hard for me because it reminds me a lot of something else I'm really fond of. That aside, it really is just a great song with awesome lyrics, as expected from you.
I kinda wanna hear a slower acoustic version, though. If you're gonna make one, i have a feeling bagpipes and a tin whistle would make a great edition to the instrumentation for some reason
👌
This has to happen.
This is so beautifully sad. It reminds me of when everyone but the bard and my character survived the campaign. The King and Queen held a feast and it was a hollow victory.
Inspiring, fills me with courage when im out on fieldcraft! Thanks for the Feeling!
my first dnd character of 2 years fell in love with a half elf near the binging of the campaign. our goal was to seal away the KING IN YELLOW he was a great old one who was going to plunge the world into darkness. as the campaign went on the love between the 2 characters grew as they won battels lost party members, but in order to seal away the king in yellow our party needed an elder sign. what we didn't know was that in order to create and elder sign there needed to be a sacrifice and the half elf my wife needed to sacrifice herself in full, nothing would be left behind no afterlife. so she did she became the one thing we needed to seal him away. after we sealed away the king in yellow the party disbanded.... and my character was left alone to continue fighting... this song makes me think that in his old age he makes his journey back to where his wifes grave is thinking about all the good times and bad, knowing he will never see her again even in death and at the end of the song he takes his last breath next to her tome stone.
that's actually really sad
Praise the Aviators!! \o/
Man, your voice is always so great and on point. Glad to see you are still making amazing music to this day!
When i listen to your songs i fill like im wallking on the golden streets of youtube
Just now hearing this. Literally gave me chills. It's so beautiful but sad. I love it
Absolutely phenomenal! Epic work as usual man!
Another amazing song!
Beautiful, love your works Aviators !! Thanks for your job !
This never fails to give me goosebumps. I swear all of your music does this to me! Man, keep up the good work dude!!
This is amazing! So good and POWERFUL! ❤
Oh MY GOD! This is SO AMAZING! Never stop mading those Golden music ❤️
Congrats on 200K, Avi
:)
Yay I'm so excited to listen, your the best aviators
What a fantastically relatable song! Definitely one of my personal favorites from Aviators. Keep up the great work!
This song is so gorgeous. Definitely a favorite of mine, and it fits in so well with the rest of the songs on Let There Be Fire. Super excited for what's to come.
Dude you just kill it with every song. This sounds amazing!
This is definitely one of my favorite tracks off of every album that you’ve put out!
If it wernt for Paralyzed this song would easily be my top favorite! I remember falling in love with it the moment I first heard the piano at the beginning, and only being more overcome with amazement as the song continued.
Everything about this song is absolutely perfect! I know I say that a lot, but its simply the truth!
Thank you for this gorgeous work of art, Avi!
I don’t know why but listening to this this time struck a cord in me and brought tears to me when I listed to it before and it had no effect
Still can't make it to the end 😭😭😭😭😭my mom would have loved you as much as I do.
Aviators you and your music still continue to amaze me. The setting that music creates is beautifull and the lyrics paint a story I immideatly fell in love with.
Please continue to do what you're doing, you're amazing!
You are one of the best musicians this decade.
This is beautiful, God bless 👍👏🏼 you have an amazing talent
I'm just discovering this band and I love this music already
The lyrics actually describe clinical depression remarkably well.
It sure does
lmao if only clinical depression were this beautiful
Your music give me the chills by every single note coming together.
This song is like a street in a big city full with other streets. But this one is different. It is a street of gold.
Good work Aviators, been with you since 'Open Your Eyes'
How dare you give me all those feels 🥺?? What a master piece!
As usual, lovin' it!
What a lovely song.
This song has always made me think about Dark Souls and the city of Anor Londo :)
My cat died last night. He was more than my pet he was my best friend. He was loyal, friendly, and loving till the very end i can only hope that one day i can catch up to him on this lonely road.
hold on!
Love your stuff keep making it
How have I never heard this song before? Its absolutely beautiful!
You keep getting better and better ^^
Omg I love it
Love the song since the first time I heard it, Thanks for the video Avi
Wow.... I just loved this song... The art depiction is also just perfect
this is truly a beautiful song, i m already a fan
Thanks!
A song that’s perfectly reminiscent of your Stargazer days. keep it up!
Man, all of these songs make me think about Solaire. Whether that was the intent or not, good stuff. Keep it up!
This song just became one of my favorites
This song is well... gold. It helped get through some nasty stuff so yeah. Thanks Aviators I love your work.
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard.
This song reminds me so much of a character from my DnD campaign, it's spot-on correct
Same here! Reminds me of my current one (as of me posting this).
can't help it, this is the perfect Elden Ring song :) I just stumbled over it and I just can't believe how amazing the song fits even though it existed before the game
absolutely fantastic love
Istantly drop every to listen to a new Avi song
Outstanding as always
Спасибо тебе за такую прекрасную музыку~
Beautiful song and I just love your music
