    Darksign II continues the tribute to the Souls series with more original music inspired by the games. Now the series has come full circle, I was inspired to write a sequel to Darksign that was a love letter to the music of Demon's and Dark Souls, and an opportunity to leave my mark on it as well. Over the years the support of every one of you has meant the world to me and given me the confidence in my writing that I never knew I could achieve. Thank you, and I hope you will continue to support me in the future.

    This is one of the most brilliant soundtracks I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. This many years, and only 36 comments. Plus, less then a hundred thousand views. A genuine honest to god crime, as this is easily one of the most underrated pieces of music ever. Seriously, well done. I aspire to compose a like you do.

    the irony of a song called epitaph for the soul doing the exact opposite and stirring up my soul in way I thought long gone thank you alex your music has come to mean a lot to me and helps me process things I'm not sure how to put into words despite having a talent for writing

    Listening to these tracks is like playing a mental Souls game. You try, are vanquished, try again, and come out victorious. The emotion in these pieces is tangible, and each is masterfully crafted.
    You put a joy in my life unlike a lot of things, and hold a special place in my mind and heart. Your music entrances my mind and captivates my heart, and I love just mindlessly doing pedestrian things with great a balled of sorrow, defeat, triumph, and victory playing in my head like a hellish opera. My own personal war zone in my head, every strike emphasized by a chime or a vocal or a bang from your music.
    I guess what I wanted to say from my rambling is thank you, sincerely, for doing what you love, because I love to behold it.

      Alex Roe will we see a ffxv remixes or original from you? some OSTs were pretty touching

    • @alex-roe

      +RazorDiamond I've not played it yet and will probably wait for the PC version (seems likely). I don't usually remix music from games I have not played.

      Alex Roe ah, OK. But a little note. It's a Final Fantasy game, so I hope you know how they end. So I'm really looking forward to an original or remix made by you. :)

      Loremaster Ironreeve you talk like the Pervy French guy in Tokyo Ghoul when he refers to the smell of Kaneki's blood :P

    I don't understand how you don't have more views on your original soundtracks. I love all your remixes, and I love these original pieces even more. They're spectacular and dynamic, unlike a lot of stale, recycled "Epic" soundtracks that big-companies attempt at making.

    I keep hearing every time I listen to this, at about the 4:30 area, I hear a bit of "Nameless Song." It's hard to catch at first, but if you listen to it a couple times, you should be able to hear it. You are a Gwen blessed musical genius, Mr. Roe.

    Hi, just coming from the future to say that this is still a beautiful song. Both Darksign and Darksign II were fantastic :)

  • @DeadGuyInTheGround

    This album has been fantastic. It's a terrible shame that the views seem really low.

      It seems the changes to youtube lately have been affecting me as well. Overall this album hasn't been getting as noticed as much as I would've expected.

    Majestically sophisticated piece of art. No matter how many times I listen to it, I still get the same curious feeling I did upon hearing it for the first time. Great job, truly.

    I want to start my 2019 with this track .. When I listen to this track I think a lot about life and how Dark Souls changed my life .. This track is amazing ..

    • @ramidp
      @ramidp 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      2021 I'm still thinking about the same .. I'd love an opera singer on this track, I don't know why but I think it would sound amazing!

    If Darksign II was a real souls-like game, then this would be a really good ending theme for this game.

    God damn this is good. Your last several have been fantasic. Making use of dissonance and relieving it. Mhmm

    Alex, did I hear some of the Nameless Song in this piece?

    • @alex-roe
      @alex-roe  7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I think you're the only person that's actually got that. At 4:30 is a nod to Nameless and my remix of it, it's subtle but I thought it would be a nice moment of reflection.

    • @baileyo.4836
      @baileyo.4836 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Alex Roe Yeah, I really like it.Nice job!

    Absolutely love this one. As a side note, I can't help but hear Undertale from 0:17 to 0:25
