It sounds like it could have rather come from Dragon, does it not? Dragonwing, for instance. But, nonetheless, here it is! A more spirited approach with the eighth notes, soaring against the french horns and violins. Ah, I just said it, didn't I? Soaring. Reminds me just a tad of Run Free. Here we go... Vocals in the back sound like Merethe towards 1:00. Violins at 1:30 sound like a mix of Fire Mountain and Calamity. Bringing that TSFH flavor just fine! 1:50 makes my gut tighten in rushing adrenaline - this is turning from a joyous run into a whistling flight! The bridge is good, and needed: not much changing this pace, it's all repetition. And that's okay - he wants to clearly make a statement and solidify this track in our hearts as much as the others before and after. **8.5/10**
Let me corrected you shortly "This is one of my favourite track from humanity, (for now) " You think this gonna be the only best music in humanity, of course not. We don't know what TSFH has under his sleeve
"music makes you braver"- In this age of fear I hope more and more people will hear your music to regain what has been taken away from them. Bravery to go on with their life , their dreams and their faith.
Your comment feels as one who has personally experienced said love and loss, but even if not, it does me great courage to just remember this: To not be afraid, for all you need do is breathe and believe in the Music. Do not fall into darkness and close your eyes; simply rise above it all and the bonds shall release you. Let the music fill you to no end with the spirit of a champion. It is simply the hero in your heart calling.
Since you said it, id like to share a small story. Im a licensed skydiver. I jump out of airplanes. Its obviously a dangerous sport with high risk of death or injury. The more afraid you are, more you get panicked, more chances you make a mistake.. It gets Loud and scary as soon as that door opens and you're sitting right next to that door. I could literally feel my heart beating as i walk towards the door. Later, what gave me courage to overcome my fear?- TWO STEPS FROM HELL. I would close my eyes, listen to his music before the jump, id try to calm myself down. And it really worked. I was not afraid, I had more courage to step out of airplane, I was more focused on my jumps.
Very good, Mr. Bergersen. I remember the 19th century when people were composing symphonies and operas. This music would be much more succesful than any other. Thank you Beethoven
I actually had this conversation with a music professor in undergrad. This style of music, more than most if not any other modern style of music, is the spiritual descendant of classical symphonies. It is music for music's sake using instruments to create scenes and elicit emotions using nothing but sound unlike most modern music which is song relying on lyrics to convey message and meaning through more overt verbal communication.
@@khamedi979 thank you for putting that into eloquent words, for I completely agree. This is the only style of music I have ever had genuine interest in. Words are also usually more damaging than constructive because they can be misunderstood, for they are an imperfect artificial construct and one of the few things we can truly call unnatural in life.
Oof - now that’s something, in a story, I wouldn’t want imagining Thomas doing. And yet.... it’s so perfect. Thank you for giving my writing new ideas. At least I can say that my character’s pegasus wasn’t given stolen wings!
TSFH is the most present in this song than all the rest in Humanity, I feel. Thomas really packs it in. It almost makes me wonder if this song wasn’t a remnant of Dragon (Dragonwing, etc). But! It is here, and here it shall stay, most wholly.
And that, fellow fan, is what Thomas created it for - among other things. :) Whether it’s a personal pain, or empathetic caused by all the existing pain in the world, let this song give you some peace. May the Music make you braver.
"There will be a day, with no more tears, no more pain, no more fears, there will be a day, when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face."
:D Wings is a spirited approach with the eighth notes here, soaring against the french horns and violins. Ah, I just said it, didn't I? Soaring. Reminds me just a tad of Run Free. 1:50 makes my gut tighten in rushing adrenaline - this is turning from a joyous run into a whistling flight!
@@charolettebuurn9030 cant tell how many times my heart was pumping insanely fast just because of his music..nighthawk, unbreakable just few examples where i feel like i would be a god :D
The thing about Wings is that it’s repetitive. And that's okay - Thomas wants to clearly make a statement and solidify this track in our hearts as much as the others in Humanity, before and after. It sure got me hooked on first listen, so much so that I couldn’t resist trying the simple melody on piano.
In a way, that’s good! The Music is making you stronger and faster, braver too. No kidding - something similar has been writing itself in my head for days. I tend to try to create scenes to the music, matching them rather than just taking inspiration from them, and blending them into several components of a story. Wings is no exception. Of course, it could also be that I’ve practiced this song way too much on my piano, and feel like running away from it for a break! :D Only Thomas has perfection with the score, right now.
Me too. All of tsfh's songs are amazing -- but Thomas gave us a real gem this time. Also I can't help noticing your picture thing - the okodama (which I call my baby tree muffins that I love).. Princess Mononoke fans UNITE!!!
Thanks to DCS I discovered this artist and it's not the first time a game has done this and I hope it continues to happen. I've already been listening a lot of his music and it's an incredible discovery.
I have it opposite, i listened to two steps from hell and thomas bergersen before, soundtrack creators are just awesome and DCS was like jop game that is using good music, i like it.
What I think of when I hear this piece. Especially at 1:50. Like if you agree: “For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the archangel’s voice, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are still alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.” ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (CSB)
Love the comment. As a Christian I wish the group was called Two Steps from Heaven. We must pray that this gifted man discovers the source of his talent

The feeling of driving through the Appalachians with nothing less than one and the dewy foggy morning with the sun shining behind, and the music of Two Steps from Hell/ Bergersen playing loud, it is the adrenaline that gets me going when going to work. Marvelous!
@@agustinfodrini a lot of williams piece are inspired from other cinematic contemporary classical composers but bergerson truly stands out from the rest
@@the_great_phoenix231 Lmao. If you really think Bergersen is better than Williams, then either you're delusional or you simply don't know anything about music. Bergersen doesn't stand a chance.
Thank you, Thomas, for inspiring this piece :) 0:00-0:55 He was only a boy, but he knew he wanted to fly. When he received a toy plane on his seventh birthday, he wasted no time heading outside so that he could christen his new friend with a trip of its own. And, as if by magic, a plane appeared outside as well on its journey across the sky. On the ground, the boy followed it with his model, pretending he too was in the skies, watching the earth from his position up high. 0:56-1:35 “It’ll pass,” they said. “You’ll get over your flights of fantasy.” One person even dared to say to him that planes were against God’s plan for all of humankind. “If He wanted us to fly, he would have given us wings.” But the boy didn’t pay them any mind. He saved up money and went to one of the best flight schools in the nation. And of course, there were times that he wondered if it was all worth it. But every time any of those thoughts dared to enter his head, he would hear the sound of another plane roaring overhead and all doubt was gone. 1:36-2:15 That day finally arrived. The not-quite-boy-but-not-quite-man could barely hear the words of his travel partner over the excitement as he flipped the necessary switches and strapped himself in. There was the sky, up above, waiting for him to finally dance across it. “Let’s go,” he muttered under his breath. The motor whirred and he felt the plane inching forward, forward, forward… …and up. It was like everything stopped existing except him and the sky. He navigated through the clouds, his heart hammering in his chest from both the excitement and fear. He peered out his window and saw the airstrip far below. He laughed out loud at how small it all was. And there were birds! Birds flew past his window and he caught a few of his friends in their own vehicles in awe at the sight as well. He upped the motor and accelerated through the heavens, imagining that he was a paintbrush on its way to creating the next masterpiece. He glided downwards and then back up, flew in a circle, tilted his wing down like he was a bird getting ready to snap at the next fish that emerged from the depths. The next time he bothered to look down he saw his instructor smiling and waving at him and a warm glow flooded his face. He was flying. 2:16-2:47 It was all such a whirlwind. He graduated from the academy and was immediately joined the Air Force. He could hardly believe this was his life - being able to go up in the sky every day and get money from it. Each time he was up there he noticed new things: the way the clouds fogged up his windows, the way some birds seemed to mimic his movements through the air. It was like an entirely different world. He was always the first in the air and the last to land, the first to sign up for missions and the last to admit defeat and it was this tenacity that earned him a medal. 2:48-3:17 When he finally fell in love at the age of 30, it was almost as if he was flying on his feet. He would show her the sky in his plane and when the day came that he decided to propose to her, he did it the only way he knew how - with his engine painting out the words “marry me” behind his airborne machine. The boy-who-was-now-a-man settled down with his wife in a small cottage in the country and had one child with her. His leg soon began acting up and he decided to leave the Air Force, but every evening he would stand outside with his wife and regale her with tales of his life as a pilot as they watched the moon. 3:18-4:07 Then, one day, he looked outside and saw his son watching the skies with rapt attention. When he went outside, he saw that it was another plane up above that had captured him. His son was following it with his eyes and then his finger as it made its slow turns in the sky. “What’s that, Dad?” “That, my son, is a plane. I used to fly one.” “Can I fly one as well?” “With the right training, yes.” And as his son’s eyes lit up with excitement, the man knew one day he too would fly.
It seems to me that any words I have to describe this song are inadequate, but I'll try. Every time I hear this song it pierces my soul and uplifts my spirit. Whether I feel triumphant amidst great success or on the brink of breaking when facing impending ruin, I can count on this song to shake me to my core, reminding me that it's the battle, the struggle, the toil that counts, and I push on, no matter the end. Something about this song conjures images of old warriors, long forgotten and dismissed, rising to the call of battle one last time. When everyone else is running from danger these brave souls run towards it, never once considering the ingratitude of those who scorned them for their chosen profession, never holding a grudge for being discarded when their service was rendered, and peace won at the cost of their commrades' blood. No, they stand against the enemy once again when they are most needed. Though their hair be gray, their bones ache, and their armor weighs heavy, their spirit is as brilliant and fierce as ever. And when the brass section blows is the moment they charge towards the enemy, and all those lesser men and women who once loathed the warriors, watch on in both relief and shame. Of course I have a very active imagination 😄. But seriously, I'll be damned if this isn't one of the best songs ever composed.
Humanity is once again a masterpiece of Thomas Bergersen. I am already looking forward to his concert in Brussels in May 2021. It will be a great evening. 👌😉
On the dawn of a new day who is ready for battle., and who is with me?. For ourselves, for those we hold dear, for the land we stand on, for Honor and Country?.!!!! This is our music this is our Battle Cry
This song speaks to me of the measures of transcendence humanity is capable of, and in particular (to possibly any fellow American listening) of how we have sort of done that in regards to the attack on the World Trade Center (9/11). An amazing thing about the human spirit: there only has to be the smallest bit of incentive to cause hope. Though I was only a little one, we’ll never forget the sacrifices made 19 years ago, and may those brave souls be remembered by families and friends for their heroism so excellently captured in the sound of this song. Rest In Peace and receive the reward you deserve.
This is insanely good. Just insane. I would love to see your brain; the part that writes this incredibly music. Even with your partner Nick's child passing, an epidemic, an orange monster president, nothing stops your incredible music. If you had lived 500 years ago, you would have been Uber-Bach, and the Bach family would have tried to emulate you. You are once in a lifetime. Rare and unstoppable.
For the first time music from TSFH left me completely cold though I know this is going to be in my "all time best of" playlist. Two days ago a close family member died. In a desperate attempt of distraction I saw a new piece by Thomas Bergersen. Now after hearing it I know I can´t and musten´t distract my self now, but at the same time I saw there is and will always be strength, beauty, joy, happiness and love in this world and in these pieces, even though this might seem so far away right now.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost a family member in July, but I've never really lot anyone before so it was shocking for me. I find that the best way to deal with it is to focus all your energy on other people. Do your best to make the people who surround you happier, and you'll feel better about yourself.
I was listening other epic music and i said to myself its time to TSFH friday rlease and Humanity's new song going to release and reflesh then i am here. I listen ton of time this piece but not enough. Perfect piece.
I used to work in the prisons as a welfare officer and when you're subjected to the cruelty and inhumane acts of these people it tends to warp your perception of people in general to the point where you become cynical. However ever since i have been listening to the music on youtube i have noticed a profound change in my outlook, It is beautiful music like this which has saved me from becoming a twisted bitter person.
Funny thing that people mention in these comments, that it makes them feel as they are flying. It appears the person who made the DCS trailer shared that sentiment, rightly so.
Hold on, mate: do you count 2. We Are One and 3. Beautiful People as split? If so, I can only envision that you are also excited for the following song, the Chosen One, if not Orbital.
This inspires me, lifts my spirits and makes me think of this phrase: "Carry the willpower of a thousand dwarves in combat. Carry the light of the scorching sun in your glare as u cut through each rough patch as a melody slices through the wind. Be the resolve and the leader that carries the spirit that may chase away your inner demons with resonating light shining off of you and with regality of a leader all gaze upon in wonder." ~Ranya Ranya is a character I own and created the personality for. I guess u could say this song lifts ones spirits just as wings allow for flight.
@@CCraft-if7fw its funny that u say that bcuz my brother and I have been working on a story but its no where near finished. Its called Mark Of The Fey. It'll be years before it gets finished tho, but when it does we wanna add music, art, and animation to it. That's our end goal.
Tell me about it! I only did my album listen and review two weeks ago (after the album has been out for two months) and have been waiting for Wings to be revealed on TH-cam. I don’t know how many times I practiced this on my piano and bell lyre the past days.
Gladly do so! Well done. Speaking of fellow epic music fans, have you joined the community of TSFH on Discord? The link is usually in the description. Much fellowship is to be had there.
@@RosemarieCatSarahR heyy thy for the advice👏..well..yes...I'm one of the 'silent' TSFH-DC members ...cuz my 'home-DC-server" is EMVN... where I'm livestream moderator 🎶..lol and always busy there..😏
Just woke up and saw the notification on my phone! Sunny day and an insprirational music! Best morning ever, thank you Thomas! You have given me wings and my name is Niki like the Greek goddess of Victory! (Nike is wrong)
“My son, knight thy heart before dawning that armor and drawing that sword,” my father whispered, before closing his eyes one last time. I sat there, broken, but king none the less. The tears of my people behind me as they witnessed their hero pass, but as the seconds passed his body began glowing, and the cries became trumpets. The clouds opened, and there I saw them, my fathers fellow knights at arms, smiling, inviting him to sit at their table and feast. He began to rise, as those trumpets blasted and drums beat to the chorus of his glorious conquests, as he reaches the clouds, he stoped, looked back, and smiles then he continues into the heavens.
Every time I discover a new TSFH song, new or not, I give it a rating in the comments. With a stirring melody, soaring horns, and a spectacular scale, I am proud to give this a *9.5/10* Feel free to agree or disagree with me in the replies, I want to know what my fellow TSFH nerds think!
Another amazing music piece from the god of epic music. In my opinion Bergersen has already surpassed every other composer in history in the breadth and depth of his music.
This song sounds like heaven!
We all know the drill about 2 steps from hell = heaven... :)
Yessir!
Me: "Wow! It's Samuel Kim!"
Also me: "Don't say it..."
Also me:
"Hello there"
Good to see Samuel is a TSFH fan
May the rum be with you.
This is one of my favourite tracks from Humanity, the strings and brass are so insane.
Hey nice channel you got there, I'm not into Kpop but I like orchestrals/instrumentals, subbed!
It sounds like it could have rather come from Dragon, does it not? Dragonwing, for instance. But, nonetheless, here it is!
A more spirited approach with the eighth notes, soaring against the french horns and violins. Ah, I just said it, didn't I? Soaring. Reminds me just a tad of Run Free. Here we go... Vocals in the back sound like Merethe towards 1:00. Violins at 1:30 sound like a mix of Fire Mountain and Calamity. Bringing that TSFH flavor just fine! 1:50 makes my gut tighten in rushing adrenaline - this is turning from a joyous run into a whistling flight! The bridge is good, and needed: not much changing this pace, it's all repetition. And that's okay - he wants to clearly make a statement and solidify this track in our hearts as much as the others before and after. **8.5/10**
This is my favorite from the album, having listened to the whole thing over on Apple Music. Can't wait for Chapter 2!
same here, along with the signature track "Humanity"
Let me corrected you shortly
"This is one of my favourite track from humanity, (for now) " You think this gonna be the only best music in humanity, of course not. We don't know what TSFH has under his sleeve
This has the same fault that all Bergensen pieces have.
It ends.

Alas! But the fountain of creativity that it inspires shall not.

That dislike is from the guy who chose Red Bull instead of Thomas'music.

I can feel the power. Two Steps From Hell summed up in five words.

It sure got me hooked on first listen, so much so that I couldn’t resist trying the simple melody on piano.

Every time I hear this song I'm suddenly affraid of myself, because I feel I could jump of a cliff and fly on those wings 🤩🤩

TSFH reminds me why functioning ears should be appreciated. Without them we wouldn't have sound and these masterpieces. True music is magic!
The feeling of driving through the Appalachians with nothing less than one and the dewy foggy morning with the sun shining behind, and the music of Two Steps from Hell/ Bergersen playing loud, it is the adrenaline that gets me going when going to work. Marvelous!

But every time any of those thoughts dared to enter his head, he would hear the sound of another plane roaring overhead and all doubt was gone.
1:36-2:15
That day finally arrived.
The not-quite-boy-but-not-quite-man could barely hear the words of his travel partner over the excitement as he flipped the necessary switches and strapped himself in. There was the sky, up above, waiting for him to finally dance across it.
“Let’s go,” he muttered under his breath. The motor whirred and he felt the plane inching forward, forward, forward…
…and up.
It was like everything stopped existing except him and the sky. He navigated through the clouds, his heart hammering in his chest from both the excitement and fear. He peered out his window and saw the airstrip far below. He laughed out loud at how small it all was.
And there were birds! Birds flew past his window and he caught a few of his friends in their own vehicles in awe at the sight as well.
He upped the motor and accelerated through the heavens, imagining that he was a paintbrush on its way to creating the next masterpiece. He glided downwards and then back up, flew in a circle, tilted his wing down like he was a bird getting ready to snap at the next fish that emerged from the depths.
The next time he bothered to look down he saw his instructor smiling and waving at him and a warm glow flooded his face.
He was flying.
2:16-2:47
It was all such a whirlwind. He graduated from the academy and was immediately joined the Air Force. He could hardly believe this was his life - being able to go up in the sky every day and get money from it. Each time he was up there he noticed new things: the way the clouds fogged up his windows, the way some birds seemed to mimic his movements through the air. It was like an entirely different world.
He was always the first in the air and the last to land, the first to sign up for missions and the last to admit defeat and it was this tenacity that earned him a medal.
2:48-3:17
When he finally fell in love at the age of 30, it was almost as if he was flying on his feet. He would show her the sky in his plane and when the day came that he decided to propose to her, he did it the only way he knew how - with his engine painting out the words “marry me” behind his airborne machine.
The boy-who-was-now-a-man settled down with his wife in a small cottage in the country and had one child with her. His leg soon began acting up and he decided to leave the Air Force, but every evening he would stand outside with his wife and regale her with tales of his life as a pilot as they watched the moon.
3:18-4:07
Then, one day, he looked outside and saw his son watching the skies with rapt attention. When he went outside, he saw that it was another plane up above that had captured him. His son was following it with his eyes and then his finger as it made its slow turns in the sky.
“What’s that, Dad?”
“That, my son, is a plane. I used to fly one.”
“Can I fly one as well?”
“With the right training, yes.”
And as his son’s eyes lit up with excitement, the man knew one day he too would fly.
Ho letto questo racconto che hai scritto....ovviamente ascoltando questa musica in sottofondo....e il tuo racconto ha preso forma sotto ai miei occhi
I have no words, this is amazing. Good job. ;)
I adore your narrative
interpretations of epic music scores including this one. Thank you and keep doing what you’re doing please.. :)
I'm crying right now....
And the same time, i am laughing...
Aaaaand we got a new MASTERPIECE coming along🥰
Unlike so many artists nowadays. His albums are only getting better and better. Humanity is now my favorite one
It seems to me that any words I have to describe this song are inadequate, but I'll try. Every time I hear this song it pierces my soul and uplifts my spirit. Whether I feel triumphant amidst great success or on the brink of breaking when facing impending ruin, I can count on this song to shake me to my core, reminding me that it's the battle, the struggle, the toil that counts, and I push on, no matter the end.
Something about this song conjures images of old warriors, long forgotten and dismissed, rising to the call of battle one last time. When everyone else is running from danger these brave souls run towards it, never once considering the ingratitude of those who scorned them for their chosen profession, never holding a grudge for being discarded when their service was rendered, and peace won at the cost of their commrades' blood. No, they stand against the enemy once again when they are most needed. Though their hair be gray, their bones ache, and their armor weighs heavy, their spirit is as brilliant and fierce as ever. And when the brass section blows is the moment they charge towards the enemy, and all those lesser men and women who once loathed the warriors, watch on in both relief and shame.
Of course I have a very active imagination 😄. But seriously, I'll be damned if this isn't one of the best songs ever composed.
holy shit
DCS brought me here ... to stay. gorgeous music!
my marching band had this song in it and i will forever find it beautiful
Humanity is once again a masterpiece of Thomas Bergersen. I am already looking forward to his concert in Brussels in May 2021. It will be a great evening. 👌😉
Can I move there before May?
Hope you were able to see him and have a good time 😊
On the dawn of a new day who is ready for battle., and who is with me?. For ourselves, for those we hold dear, for the land we stand on, for Honor and Country?.!!!!
This is our music this is our Battle Cry
something out there...
waiting for me..
waiting for the journey begin..
waiting..
patiently...
for me..
for.. my wings..
to take a leap of faith
Jesus. This is beautiful.
This song speaks to me of the measures of transcendence humanity is capable of, and in particular (to possibly any fellow American listening) of how we have sort of done that in regards to the attack on the World Trade Center (9/11). An amazing thing about the human spirit: there only has to be the smallest bit of incentive to cause hope.
Though I was only a little one, we’ll never forget the sacrifices made 19 years ago, and may those brave souls be remembered by families and friends for their heroism so excellently captured in the sound of this song.
Rest In Peace and receive the reward you deserve.
This is insanely good. Just insane. I would love to see your brain; the part that writes this incredibly music. Even with your partner Nick's child passing, an epidemic, an orange monster president, nothing stops your incredible music. If you had lived 500 years ago, you would have been Uber-Bach, and the Bach family would have tried to emulate you. You are once in a lifetime. Rare and unstoppable.
For the first time music from TSFH left me completely cold though I know this is going to be in my "all time best of" playlist. Two days ago a close family member died. In a desperate attempt of distraction I saw a new piece by Thomas Bergersen. Now after hearing it I know I can´t and musten´t distract my self now, but at the same time I saw there is and will always be strength, beauty, joy, happiness and love in this world and in these pieces, even though this might seem so far away right now.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost a family member in July, but I've never really lot anyone before so it was shocking for me. I find that the best way to deal with it is to focus all your energy on other people. Do your best to make the people who surround you happier, and you'll feel better about yourself.
You have incredible power, Thomas Bergersen. What you create can touch souls and save lives. Thank you.
I was listening other epic music and i said to myself its time to TSFH friday rlease and Humanity's new song going to release and reflesh then i am here. I listen ton of time this piece but not enough. Perfect piece.
This music is awesome! If I was an director I can make a movie with this!
It's incredible how those TSFH' songs are so uplifting! Serotonin 100% full!
I can't cet enough of Thomas musics, truly some masterpieces here.
Am I the only one singing with the choir every time I listen to This beautiful music?! 🎶
Just want to say: thank you Thomas Bergersen and all Two steps from hell for this awesome music
Thomas Bergersen understands how to translate love and passion into music
I used to work in the prisons as a welfare officer and when you're subjected to the cruelty and inhumane acts of these people it tends to warp your perception of people in general to the point where you become cynical. However ever since i have been listening to the music on youtube i have noticed a profound change in my outlook, It is beautiful music like this which has saved me from becoming a twisted bitter person.
OMG! Beautiful song... soft and epic at the same time.
I have been listening to Thomas for the past six years! It has truly been a wonderful experience listening to these songs. They are so beautiful!
Only Thomas can paint music in the sky and the earth. His soul a wanderer of the elements.
DCS brought me to this song specifically
Funny thing that people mention in these comments, that it makes them feel as they are flying. It appears the person who made the DCS trailer shared that sentiment, rightly so.
The horns in this song are spectacular, soaring high above the rest of the orchestra. Super excited for Humanity 1, track 5!
Hold on, mate: do you count 2. We Are One and 3. Beautiful People as split? If so, I can only envision that you are also excited for the following song, the Chosen One, if not Orbital.
Yeah! Trumpets and horn... They never let me down 👍🏻👍🏻
@@RosemarieCatSarahR On the album, We Are One and Beautiful People are listed as separate tracks
Thomas Bergensen is not only a master of sound, but his orchestration development is also fabulous - the 1:50 moment is fantastic!
Oh the French Horn bits are soo fresh. This song gets me in such a creative mood.
I play horn and I'm trying to get the band kids to bombard our director with this song so we can play this
Excelente melodía para estos tiempos, eleva al hombre sobre la adversidad y la tragedia. GRACIAS.
This inspires me, lifts my spirits and makes me think of this phrase:
"Carry the willpower of a thousand dwarves in combat.
Carry the light of the scorching sun in your glare as u cut through each rough patch as a melody slices through the wind.
Be the resolve and the leader that carries the spirit that may chase away your inner demons with resonating light shining off of you and with regality of a leader all gaze upon in wonder."
~Ranya
Ranya is a character I own and created the personality for.
I guess u could say this song lifts ones spirits just as wings allow for flight.
Make a book about it, i wanna read it
@@CCraft-if7fw its funny that u say that bcuz my brother and I have been working on a story but its no where near finished. Its called Mark Of The Fey. It'll be years before it gets finished tho, but when it does we wanna add music, art, and animation to it. That's our end goal.
@@aetherlight_melody niccceeer
Probably my favorite of the Chapter
Thomas Bergersen you made me a fan of this kind of music, I never knew that I loved it.
This is the music I need during a math test
No !
You will kill the supervisor 🤪🤪
@@tomjerry84 I broke my desk, solved The Collatz Conjecture and rode my dragon home
Me too.

I hope people realize that our freedom is the most important thing in this life. Don’t let the fear stop your life, trust in God.
❤️👍👍👍👍👍👏
Unglaublich wie schön Musik sein kann. Ein Meisterwerk
I love this, especially the flow in the beginning and the transition!
Es simplemente sublime una obra maestra audible, me encanta
Saludos desde Latinoamérica
Buscaba un comentario en español jeje, concuerdo con tigo 😌

Who knew a trailer for an aerial combat simulator could be so inspiring?
Everyone else: Mountain Call is the best piece
Me: Have you considered Wings
They are both great, but Mountain Call is still my favorite ;)
@@tosvus mountain call is a little too electronic-y for me so we agree to disagree :)
@@linusblanket32 U are an epic fan I see ur comments all over tsfh
This tune is 1st. 2nd is We are one beautiful people.
My favourite is humanity
OMG...I was so impatient waiting for this track...💯⚡👑❣️🎶
Tell me about it! I only did my album listen and review two weeks ago (after the album has been out for two months) and have been waiting for Wings to be revealed on TH-cam. I don’t know how many times I practiced this on my piano and bell lyre the past days.
@@RosemarieCatSarahRand I will share it now to every epic friend...💯🎼👍
Gladly do so! Well done. Speaking of fellow epic music fans, have you joined the community of TSFH on Discord? The link is usually in the description. Much fellowship is to be had there.
@@RosemarieCatSarahR heyy thy for the advice👏..well..yes...I'm one of the 'silent' TSFH-DC members ...cuz my 'home-DC-server" is EMVN... where I'm livestream moderator 🎶..lol and always busy there..😏
In my country, tsfh uploads at, like, midnight.
I'm waiting for it every week and it's so worth it.
Only Thomas Bergersen can top over Thomas Bergersen
One more gift to the Humanity from Thomas ! Long away i have used for first time this expression in " Empire Of Angels " .. Good evening from Greece !
Aw you're in Greece? Greetings from... uh.. my couch. My cat says hi though!
Gänsehaut Musik 😳👊💪
Just woke up and saw the notification on my phone! Sunny day and an insprirational music! Best morning ever, thank you Thomas! You have given me wings and my name is Niki like the Greek goddess of Victory! (Nike is wrong)
“My son, knight thy heart before dawning that armor and drawing that sword,” my father whispered, before closing his eyes one last time. I sat there, broken, but king none the less. The tears of my people behind me as they witnessed their hero pass, but as the seconds passed his body began glowing, and the cries became trumpets. The clouds opened, and there I saw them, my fathers fellow knights at arms, smiling, inviting him to sit at their table and feast. He began to rise, as those trumpets blasted and drums beat to the chorus of his glorious conquests, as he reaches the clouds, he stoped, looked back, and smiles then he continues into the heavens.
This was uploaded on September 11. So I like to think that this song is a tribute to those who died that day. I will certainly treat it that way.
Same ;(
Might be intentional too, which would be nice
Heh..... “Wings”
You make amazing music, greetings from Poland!
You make amazing music, top of the morning from Ireland!
Greetings from the US I hope everyone's doing alright!
Thanks you nigloland for this sound like heaven
Vivaldi is so proud of you Thomas !
مقطوعة رائعة !
TSFH NEVER DISAPPOINTS
I say Damn!
It touched my soul...thank you Mr.Bergersen:)

Every time I discover a new TSFH song, new or not, I give it a rating in the comments.
With a stirring melody, soaring horns, and a spectacular scale, I am proud to give this a *9.5/10*
Feel free to agree or disagree with me in the replies, I want to know what my fellow TSFH nerds think!

*bows* Ah, a veteran of the Music like myself, and others. Thank you for your continued support and diligence to TSFH, and to Thomas’ solo works.
@@RosemarieCatSarahR Well met indeed, it’s always nice to see more fans of this genre.
Vocal goes in perfectly. The orchestral lines are crisp . Just waiting for you to listen and embark on a life changing adventure
1:50 hit hard
Me too !
Stabbed by trumpets
2:17 hits harder
Another amazing music piece from the god of epic music. In my opinion Bergersen has already surpassed every other composer in history in the breadth and depth of his music.
I love this album.
Wait, this is good music ?
Always has been !
Not gonna lie they had us in the first half
ALWAYS HAS BEEN!!
Thomas Bergersen NEVER disappoints.
I have never ceased to desire hearing new music from Thomas Bergensen. No other team of orchestration has ever lifted me higher.
Oh yeah like it love it!
Music makes you braver.
Well, this song made me a warrior then.
One of the best of all time, keep it up!
Just...listening...breathless!
1:08.
When you get knocked down in bloody battle, but you raise your head and get up to fight back.
Damn so good!
Instant classic
