Bloodborne Lyrics - Gehrman, the First Hunter 

Thats an underrated comment.

"I'm going to free you from your eternal suffering!" "No, u" "Wait wha-"

So accurate 😭

Your too underrated

@@ItsJustPurpp yruo'e*🤓

Gehrman’s lore is very sad I feel really bad for him. Glad I freed him from his eternal suffering and turned into a squid.

The one who loses, wins. And the winner, loses

I would agree, but if you beat him and then Flora, you ascend humanity.

Yes. The fact that in some part the music goes back and forth, harmonizing together as in talking to each other.

@𝐗 𝐗 𝐕 𝐈 𝐈 it's an act of him being you're teacher a mentor trying to protect his student from suffering his same fate

He was *the* first hunter after all. Man still got it.

Imagine fighting him at his top form

Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt

UNLIMITED POWWEEERRRRRRRRR

All the sudden he stands up and becomes jacked

It’s like gherman AND the hunter are saying this to each other

Its almost if that moon has one hell of a...presence

@@war_hawkan1727 ba dum tiss

@@war_hawkan1727 is that a pun???

@@pixelgun4789 yes. The moon presence want this, so Gehrman have no choice. Fear the old blood!

A poetic end

Oh fuck, never realized that if we kill the Praesentia Lunaris we are technically the last hunter

@@rotanux bro said "Praesentia Lunaris"

@@aquacyanideit just means moons presence. He wanted to call it by it’s Latin name

Only in one ending on the others the hunt just goes on and I've seen some people sugest that when we become great one we take on the job of the Moon presence of killing other great one and the best way to do that is throught the hunt. ​@@rotanux

Gives me chills

The hunt? The blood? Or the horrible dream?

😧😥😢😭😓😞

It was the Doll

"Dear o dear, what was it? The hunt? The blood? Or the horrible dream?" No dude, it's the doll

sad thing is that probably he's already dead, like Micolash. So he'll never meet the waking world again...

*waking world since the hunter isn't dead, just not bound to the dream anymore

@@ivanrenic4243 I think Gehrman is dead by the time you free him, since he already looked pretty old.

@@LowIntSpecimen true, but the quote is spoken by the doll and refers to the main character, not Gehrman.

@@ivanrenic4243 The original comment was probably referring to Gehrman though, since it uses his defeat dialogue.

Perhapse it is both the player and Gehrman; each saying the same to eachother, in hopes the other will back down.

@@crackensvideo probably. If that is the case, it would be more sad. And we all know BloodBorne story is sad af

Both? Both is good.

This proves the story is a masterpiece😢

Well no, because the Hunter would have no idea of the Moon Presence existence when fighting Gherman it only shows up after Also it says “Oh, these mysterious nights” the games time span is all in one night Gherman has done this for many nights hence the wording for“I devote my life to sustain the dream” and “these”and “nights”

With Gwyn I think he was less motivated by selfishness then he was by fear. He fought tooth and nail to carve out a home for his people against the arch dragons, built a kingdom, got married, had kids, and lead a prosperous kingdom. Then, the dark sign showed up. People started hollowing, including those close to him. He implored the other lord's to look for a solution, and the chaos witches created another problem, the bed of chaos. He chose to link the fire, genuinely trying to save his people, his family, and his friends. It was his last ditch effort to save the world. He couldn't have known about the cyclical nature of the world after all. His sacrifice was misguided heroism.

While I completely agree with you, in Gwyn's defense I don't think you were supposed to feel emotional. Atleast not in terms of the fight itself. All soulsborne games have this long lasting tradition of beating up old men in their dying breathes for whatever reason. Isshin, Vendrick, and ofcourse Gerhman have been all meaningful experiences to our persona nad character, in game and out. But with Gwyn specifically, his experience is... Underwhelming and for good reason. He was meant to be a disappointment. His story legend dictates and represents him as this all powerful and heroic figure that led men, giant, and God alike to salvation and was known for his might and leadership against the battle of the Arch Dragons. He was painted to be this figure of importance. But when we step through those gates within the inner chasms of a molten and rotting desolance of the kiln, all we are met is an empty husk devoid of all meaning, and serves as a lowly cradle to a dying flame. Hollowed out, broken, covered with ashen soot, worthless just like any of the hollows we encounter in the earlier areas of the decrepid world of Lordran. You aren't to feel emotional, rather you are supposed to feel empty at the fact of the being represented upon you, robbing your last, supposedly "epic" experience and replacing it with a sad excuse of a bossfight. I know it could've been executed better, and I know I could've written that with better clarity, but in it's own time the tale was grand in it's lonely and desolate world.

Another example happens in persona 5, persona 5 royal and persona 5 Strikers. Since they are story games, ofc it is explained and developed better, but this one still is SICK

@@vanelli6900 persona is an ntr game

@@devontheundivided9815 only if you let it be.

Technically is depending on what ending you go for

This is the best boss theme in gaming

@@theonlyMoancore That is a bit of a stretch, but it is a very good one.

@@lordquaz7154 What do you consider to be the best, then? Apologies, I'm not trying to sound rude, I just really enjoy going around listening to various songs from games and I'd like to know your opinion on the best one you've heard yet!

@@cikdik No problem. This one is what I consider the best. Maby it's how I worded it, but this is what I consider the best boss theme in the franchise. That or Laurence or Sir Alonne. These 3 themes are my top 3 and I adore them. My complaint is that this isn't the true final boss of this game. The moon presence is, and that boss pails in comparison to this one.

Didn't Gael plan on having the ashen one deliver the blood for painting since he couldn't? I wouldn't say that was for nothing.

@@vince8237 When you travel to the final area, it's a huge time jump. The girl was dead by then, the world was going to end like that anyway, and the painting will eventually have the same fate as Ariendel.

Sekiro = unyielding loyalty of a servant to his worthy master

​@@theonlyMoancoreyou can literally give the painter gael's blood btw, painted worlds maybe go through different timelines

@@MustyHam A painted world eventually has to burn away, it's a cycle, or else the rot takes over and it's an Ariendel part 2. Granted the painter is in a painted world sooooo it might be different?

Best part of the ost genuinely gives me chills, miyazaki just a mastermind at making these games

At least it's not the depressing, hopeless cry for help that is Twin Princes theme. This one at least has hope, hope that you will give up.

@@theonlyMoancore But nobody would give up. Why would anyone give up on showing mercy.

Oh yea hes trying to save you from an eternity of servitude in this fight lol.

@@jamesholcombe675 I wish that if we got all three umbilical chords Gehrman would be sensing something in you, and if you say no to offer your life the fight is to prove that the player is capable of taking on the old one that imprisoned him

@@thelonelystankmuncher8879 so​ whats​ after​ that? If​ gherman​ didnt​ die​ moon​ present​ woulldnt come​ out​ too

If they're broken, can I have the? Grant us eyes....

"The Night and the dream were Long" **cries**

too much insight, you looked too deep into the lore and... dammit, so did i! 😭

this is actually in elden ring, one of the merchants plays it although its not the complete track

@@awesomebuck2139yup! just realized it, found the merchant in Forest-Spanning Greatbridge at Atlus Plateau.

Radagon sounds glorious, as he is basically known as a legend to everyone, and the husband of queen rennala. This one is just, depression

Yeah, same. I've never been hit by videogame ost as hard as this. I cried when I first fought Gehrman. Probably my favourite final boss out of all fromsoft games (shame the moon presence was such a letdown as the true final boss).

Radagon is a god who not only still retains his own power, but is also empowered by remaining shards of the elden ring, and we're able to match his power by the time we fight him. His theme should sound epic, as we are truly being tested by the Greater Will while we fight him. We are quite literally achieving something that no other protagonist in any other Soulslike has managed to achieve. With Gehrman's theme, we refuse to let him mercy kill us. We've seen too much of the hunt, gotten too much of a taste for the blood, and it clouds our judgement and vision. What we once saw as a tutor in Gehrman, we only see as an advisory who is trying to keep the rest of the dream from us. However, the truth is that Gehrman realizes the mistake he made in having us join the hunt, and only wishes to save us from the fate he fell into long ago.

Thanks!

Grazie mille del contributo, hats off to you.

The Latin case system is bonkers 😵‍💫

Ευχαριστώ

The way they use it is not wrong it is called artistic license : It allows the writters to bend the language abit in order to fit the message they want to convey this happens in many poems and songs and it started from Greece even before Homers time allowing the work of art to be more dramatic and impactful even if it bends the normal use of language a little. An easy example is I was made for loving you from Kiss. " I was made for loving you "is wrong grammaticaly . The correct one is " I was made to love you and you were made to love me" the verb love does not have a present continuous. " I am loving "does not exist grammatically yet artist use it sometimes. it is also used by uneducated Americans and non native english speakers but it is still grammaticaly wrong.

You’re gave me chills

@@anthonywilliams3009 He is "gave me chills" ? What a strange name

funny .. pretty funny@@amaimon8031

@@amaimon8031 ha

wow hits hard bro

Dude is not a happy camper, and he thinks that by killing him, you are undoing what he (in his eyes) did to win the fight against the scourge of beasts. He has zero awareness to things outside the realm he is trapped in. He even laments that he hopes Laurence is doing alright.

@@thiccolascage8180 given the fact that that Laurence is in the hunters nightmare it would make sense that Gehrman knows nothing of the state he is in nor how much time has passed

Man no offense but all those periods aren’t deep they just hurt

Knowing nothing but to fight, I guess you can say his memory is broken, the truth goes unspoken and he almost forgets his name.

Yet, he doesnt want the hunter to suffer the same fate he had to go through, and as a result the "epic" choir sounds more like it's resonating a very tragic event instead of the great finale listeners might go to hear

😭

I cried

The nicest way of saying "just let me kill you"

So anyway I started slashing. After that I killed a Big ass squid looking MF and turned into one. I'M HUNTER SQUID(ward).

😢❤

All the ost is a rising wave to that very point (the choir). I keep thinking this is the best Fromsoftware ost. Elden Ring has something great too, it's quite doubtless, but dear ooo dear Gherman Ost is so intense and intimate too !

Laurence, the first vicar and yhorm the giant are up there for me.

Orphan of Kos deserves recognition too. All the soundtracks in this game are beautiful.

1- Laurence. 2- Twin Princes. 3- Ludwig. But when it comes to other things, Gehrman is the best hands down.

1: Epilogue (ds3) 2: this 3: Abyss Watchers

@@julianvilorio3993 same

"Legends of heroes and hunters are singed under moons of different nights."

Multiverse proof? Elden ring could take place before dark souls with flame of frenzy but where does bloodborne fit In?

@@hepic2874 the games are not connected. its just an easter egg

@@marioplumber3378 but it could be true.

@@hepic2874 Miyazaki himself literally deconfirmed this

I always interpreted that as the hunters gerhmans saved from the dream each time it starts to crescendo is when they fight and gerhman frees them and looses more hope that he’ll escape the dream

According to Miyazaki, Bloodborne is the one that stick to his heart the most compared to others he'd created throughout SoulsBorne games.

He cant do bloodborne 2 because bloodborne owned by sony

@@boon3772 Still, lot better than being owned by EA

@godrick the grafted If EA owns Fromsoftware, it is guaranteed that the graphics are cool but the deal and gameplay for items however... sucks as hell, leeching--no, devouring your wallet to the point it was a robbery just by playing it.

​@@boon3772 he doesn't want to do it too he already stated he doesn't like to make continuations especially because they would invalidate the ending from the past games dark souls only has a 2nd game because Sony wanted to (and he wasn't involved on the development) and DS3 is there to fix the errors of DS2, he probably won't be making a Bloodborne 2 or elden ring 2 soon

The translation you gave still fits the fight.

That's actually really interesting

To be honest, this is the best version. Simple yet powerful.

Thanks a lot

He tells you exactly why the lyrics are different he told you they are inspired by the lore of the game therefore this whole explanation of why this one is wrong was just Unecessary

Games like this are just pure art

I find a strange bittersweet feel to the whole motivation of both the player and gherman being : Let me kill you I care about you.

I see you, filthy Homestuck.

@@Steven-xz5xt let me tell you about homestuck

@@hummus1973 I already know :0)

Miyazaki has said even if these games are like children and he “does not have a favorite”, Bloodborne is his favorite lol

Its just a masterpiece like none other and Elden Ring may (and probably will) be GOTY 2022 masterpiece too, but nothing ever will beat Bloodborne, I doubt even Bloodborne 2 could

the performance can be distracting sometimes, but the lore? characters? soundtrack weapons bosses fashion everything is so amazing i wish i could experience the game for the first time again

Agreed.

Ds1 still the GOAT deep in my heart

Fact

i love the godfrey one tho

Slave Knight Gael tops for me

@@blackchroma8847 for my ladys painting.

After Finishing Eldenring, I can Say This ist the best Game ever. Bloodborne is my new Religion.

spooky

We never noticed it because gamers can’t look up

2:30 is the best part in my opinion but tbh the whole ost is a masterpiece

Man what the heck 💀

ER>

@@otachipg686 they are too different

Honestly, none of bloodborne’s endings really resolve the moral issue you’re presented with. The best ending is you literally just turning into a worm so that the nights cannot continue, and if you kill Gehrman, then you’re going to assume his position of the eternal tormented

Aye, in the name of Master Logarius, we will cease our war to hunt this person

@@falah6398 In the name of all confederates of our noble League, we shall help you in your quest.

@@Deasty The Hunters of Hunters also pledge our blades to hunt this beast

@@fiercedeity9955 a month late but so do the powder kegs

And so do the people who has Embrace the Beast within

Dunno I think the last Gherman wants is to Make Contact again.

In the lore, that gesture was a way of communicating with the great ones. If anything, Gehrman was speaking to the moon presence in his final moments

I think it’s gherman’s way of saying “fuck you” to the moon presence

It could be Gehrman's final attempt to save you, begging the Moon Presence not to subject you to the same miserable fate that befell him

Lady Maria has a similar death animation. Possibly symbolic of something that I'm not aware of something

Maybe Radagon, but...

​@@CorvusJPand god skin apostoles y godfrey

If they had real lyrics that would be debatable

There’s performances of this live lol

@@luettexiv Wdym? I want to go see an orchestra live, I've only seen concerts live online but not in person. I can't find anything like that in Europe.

@@OwnyOne oh that’s what you mean, yeah that would be pretty awesome lol

Gael deveria estar nessa lista

sekiro combat way better

@@ScrodumHat Sekiro best combat from all fromsoftware but worst story in comparison

@@Pankreastitis better than demon souls

@@ScrodumHat That's true

Any Soulsborne game can sound horrible if you dumb down the summary enough Demon’s souls: Guy had enough of the demons and decided to kill everything in his path, but he wasn’t good at it -Dark Souls I: Some ‘chosen’ skinny guy wants to hold some fire, so he kills dragons, wolves, and eventually an old man with a fiery sword that dies to 7 parries -Dark Souls II: Another skinny dude decides they wanna to beat up a tall goth lady to become an emo who controls the darkness -Dark Souls III: Some other not-so-skinny guy wants to put out the flame started by the first skinny guy, so he fights the souls of all the dudes who started it -bloodborne: a masochistic immigrant walks into medival Furcon and fights an old man to free him from hallucinations -Sekiro: Samurai. That’s all I have to say -Elden ring: a guy wakes up on a small island and is walking towards a massive tree like a moth to a flame, only to realize he’s gotta kill god itself

I actually tought about it like Gehrman asking the Moon Presence to not put us in his place as host of the dream

Gehrman began to questioned you, but you just stayed silent the more he asks what's wrong with you. Amidst the curses he threw, you recalled his ramblings, how he shriveled in pain that gives you a clue to the grim truth of the Hunter's Dream. Gehrman decided that talking is futile and goes to kill you. You dodged, and speak not a word as you turn to your fighting stance, weapons at hand. You look at him in the eye with conviction, much to his dismay. None off you talk, you both lunged and clashed your weapon against his scythe. You're determined to free him, and vice versa

After a prolonged battle, you put Gherman down. In his last breath, he asks what you have done, and then... he thanks you for freeing him from his eternity of suffering. The moon presence senses Gherman leave and descends, intending for you to take his place...

At least you can try to make something similar with the old hunter costume

Yes, he honestly has the best looking outfit in the game imo. I think it also symbolizes some of the Great Ones he's met or fought, the way the cloak is shaped like wings looks similar to the Orphan of Kos' wings. It's basically like the Slave Knight Gael (boss version) from Dark Souls III with another badass looking armor set that sadly we'll never get unless you mod on PC.

The moon is shattered

I feel like Romanian is the closest language to Latin in terms of word similarities
