This is so relaxing but it also makes me feel kind of sad because this is essentially Diluc's theme. He's been protecting Mondstadt in his own way, and he's quite happy with that. But this piece reminds me every time that at the end of every day, he thinks he is alone in his endeavors. He thinks that the only one he can rely on is himself, and he's kind of withdrawn himself from the world because of his past. It's not quite that he's struggling or unhappy, but there's definitely a touch of melancholy and loneliness.
Diluc sitting on one of his luxurious chairs. In front of his checker pieces on the table, looking out the window beside him as the rain pours. “ Rain... if only it can cleanse the corrupt souls of the world.”
Imagine the death of Diluc's father gets animated, and this song starts playing, tears flowing through his cheeks, while saying his final good-byes. and kaeya standing there 🧍
@@cappymons8191 if you read his story you can see he blames himself for not coming sooner and saving his father. And not being able to console Diluc because he feels as an “adopted” son he has no place. And then above that guilt he was reminded by the plan he was forced to undertake from his real father. His smirk was more hopeless that even their had to resort into using a Delusion. It annoys me to this day that Diluc pushed him away and almost killed him when he came clean, which hammered down Kaeya’s worst fears, he had done everything he could, and told Diluc abotu his past now its up to Diluc to reconnect. I’m just amazed Kaeya still doesn’t hate Diluc I mean that would break anyone.
@@OrangeDaisy123 I do think diluc was wrong to attack kaeya after he came clean, but to be fair kaeya had literally the worst timing possible... it was literally right after diluc's father died in his arms
if anyone else wants to know, i'll write about it. but i'm putting it far down so don't click *read more* if you don't want to be spoiled. diluc's backstory: his father had high hopes for him, as he wanted to become a knight but couldn't. diluc lived up to these expectations, getting a vision at age 10 and becoming a cavalry captain at age 14 - the youngest in the knights' history. as a child, kaeya was abandoned by his father near the winery, which he walked to and was soon taken in. diluc and kaeya treated each other like brothers for a long time, and were close. one day, when diluc was the age of 18, he and his father were traveling in a horse-drawn wagon through a forest, on a rainy & gloomy day. they were attacked by a monster, unlike any diluc had fought previously, and the group they were traveling with was wiped out. his father used his delusion (like a vision with a potential payment each time it's used - childe's foul legacy transformation and electro abilities are also a delusion from my information ) to defeat the monster, although it backfired and also mortally wounded him. diluc turned to him in amazement, only to find that his father would bleed out in his arms. moments later, kaeya and a group of knights showed up to help, only to find diluc to be the sole survivor. diluc and kaeya soon turned their blades against each other*, marking the last time they saw one another as brothers. days later, when diluc was called in by 'inspector eroch', he was told to keep the ordeal a secret to uphold the knights of favonius' reputation. he found this to be morally disgusting, and left the knights, along with his vision, behind. kaeya worked hard to become a cavalry captain, and visited diluc one day, long after. upon his arrival, diluc was throwing darts, and when kaeya mentioned a monster that matched the description of the one who attacked his father, he was thrown off focus and hit a vase, shattering it. kaeya was amused by this and promised to return with a vase, to which he did (the exotic-looking one that can be found in the winery), and inside of the vase was diluc's vision. when diluc's father was killed, he left mondstadt for 3 years, attacking and overtaking many fatui bases. so many, infact, that the harbingers stepped in, almost killing diluc. after he returned saved by an anonymous figure, it was then that the rumor of the "darknight hero" began to spread around mondstadt - which brings us to the storyline. that's most of it, although i skipped some parts not my greatest writing but it'll do if you want to know edit, 2 years later: glad this helped so many of you. @shortbreadbiscuits7918 made a comment in this section elaborating on why diluc and kaeya fought if you're curious. also fixed a few mistakes, thanks for pointing them out
basicaly the delusions are powers given by the tzaritsa or something I heard, and Diluc’s father was kinda involved with the Fatui given he had the delusion if I’m not mistaken
@@tingtingofficial897 he doesn’t consider everyone as his friends anymore. Basically a closeted person with trust issue so he’s calling us friend meaning he fully trusted us and considered us as one of his few friends if not his only trusted friend at the meantime since he doesn’t trust others easily
I can't wait till this game gets super old and crazy like Honkai, so we look back at this place and think "huh, collecting shrooms around here sure was fun". Edit: almost two years later and this game hasn’t changed much. Just a little disappointed.
The day Crepus found Kaeya, the storm was raging. And the day Diluc left Kaeya, the rain was pouring. We can only hope for a clear weather for the day the brothers reconcile again.
The door shuts. There's a finality to it. In the way your brother had turned his back, the way he had glared at you with such utter hatred in his crimson eyes. Circular pupils that created a chasm between the two of you too far to dream of crossing. You accept it. You had known all along, hadn't you? This is how liars are left. Alone in the rain, no home, no last name. This is how you are left. You raise a hand to your remaining eye. Is the wet on your face the rain or your tears? Did it matter? You take the vision from where it rests on the ground in front of you, and even as frost builds on your fingers and dusts the ground before melting away, you get up. You turn around. You walk away. You breathe a deep, shuddering breath and close your eyelid over your four-pointed pupil. You accept it. POV: You are Kaeya Alberich, because Kaeya Ragvindr died on the lawn of the Dawn Winery in a burst of flames, hissing under the rain as shards of ice coated a blade. As he scrambled to defend himself, scorned and betrayed by the one he trusted most. PoV: You are Kaeya Alberich, because every other answer was a lie. (Edit 1/1/2022: By popular demand, my AO3 is DarkerThanGrey. I haven't eritten anything for Kaeya and Diluc, but I've got something for Kazuha and a few things for Destiny 2. Thank you so much for the support! Reading the comments here makes me want to write even when I have no motivation and I can't thank you all enough.)
Diluc Ragnvindr is not lonely. He is not. He hangs out at the bar, takes over bartending work while keeping at ear out for information, coming into contact with men who can't take single glass of Dandelion Wine to those who stare at him with unflinching clarity after five. He chats with the patrons, pays them money to keep their ears to the ground, and receives human attention. It's normal. But sometimes, in the dead of night as his greatsword twitches in his hand, the buzzing of Murata in his ears calling him to action dies down, and he thinks, not for the first time, that there is no warmth to his flames. It had begun with passion, but how much of that was his, and how much of it was Lady Pyro's mania fuelling his justice into action? It's in these moments that he thinks of friends. In the daylight, he'd scoff them off as unneeded distractions- but in the dead of night, where there is naught but Celestia's gaze to judge him, his tongue is looser, and as he stands guard from the top of the windmills, he thinks of a sea-blue eye, a twinkling, mischievous gaze brimming with the potential of the stars, of companionship long gone. He thinks of brittle ice, of rage snapping at his heels until the rain physically fizzles out from the Vision's heat, and the calm, accepting gaze of Kaeya Alberich as he picked up his Vision and strode through the rain, turning the soft _pitter-patter_ of the water droplets into the hard _pling_ of ice as it shattered against the ground. "I miss him." He lets the phrase slip from his tongue, smooth yet muffled against the wind. There is no one awake to hear him, yet he says it all the same, because it is the undeniable truth. There is something melancholic in his heart, ripped apart by the cruel end to his boyhood, and it rests bitterly, an ample source of fuel for Lady Murata. Diluc Ragnvindr is alone, and he turns away from his thoughts to mindlessly slice through another horde of hilichurls, taking solace in the distraction it lends from the aching sadness in his chest. (Elsewhere, lost in the winds, is a Bard. The Bard receives the wind's word as a whisper, and his harpstring hums with melancholy tune to reflect it. He may not understand why the winds whisper so, but he does not need to.) And if he returns to find a harpstring playing itself, there is nobody but the wind to see him resting to its tune until dawn.
I love how genshin became such a huge part in our lives, how we feel for characters, sympathize with them, as if they're real and they live out there somewhere. Thinking this and listening to this makes me feel nostalgic as if I myself lived there in monstadt and visited all the places and I don't really know how to explain but i guess everyone of you will relate
Monsadt is home, liyue is a place where I feel unknown When I got one of the last quest from monsadt for a while I literally had my eyes opened because I didn’t want to leave monsadt behind, of course I can go there everyday, but it doesn’t feel that I belong there anymore. It just feels like a normal city where I don’t belong, where I don’t stay at. _Venti was the last one I talked to after leaving._ Amber, Lisa, kaeya, Jean, venti, and diluc. Those people are *my family* *Amber* taught me how to fly, how to spread my wings in joy and freedom, she’s dear to me. *Lisa* is a mother figure, she can be both serious and kind, maybe scary too. But she’s also dear to me, she is open for anything you’d suggest. *Jean,* she is _our_ boss. Hard working woman, independent, strong and well mannered. And of course, she’s also very dear to me. These three girls are apart of my family. *Kaeya,* he’s a fine gentlemen, once you get to know him better. He opens up too, not act cold, or anything harsh. He’s quite the man isn’t he? Haha. *Diluc,* he’s one the most mysterious man I’ve met so far, he has outstanding red hair, and of course, get to know him.. a better friendship is inbound. *Venti,* of course, the bard. He drinks the most out of all of the boys I know, he’s very important for stormterror for sure, for me, I see him as a great friend to be with.. if you like drinking, haha. Even though his gnosis has been stolen, he still acts cheerful. He’s a cheeky boy isn’t he? Those three boys, are also apart of my family. They are *_our family_* Anyways, seeing that the floating island as for now called “Celestia” will fall on monsadt, there’s a big chance for it. I don’t want my home to be crushed, I don’t want to see more pain, death and graves. Yes, it won’t happen at all this year I believe, the holders of the elements won’t give up that easily, at least Xiao won’t.. I hope, well.. I mean, he’s suffered from deep pain which would never heal, it’s like a wound, it becomes a scar that’ll never perish. It always leaves a mark. And will always be there and so on.
you know Diluc and Kaeyas elements kinda reflect on themselves. Diluc chose to burn his way to the truth and Kaeya chose to just let it freeze over. They probably have my favorite story in the game, it has such a somber tone to it.
Not gonna lie, The rain and melody of the strings being a tear to my eye. It has a strong feel of loss and remorse. I know Master Diluc has a history with his father and the winery. But the tune of the music itself is enough to tell you that not only was there harm, but a strong loss as well. Regardless, this remains my favorite melody out of all of the themes in Genshin Impact. It might just be me, but I actually kind of feel some of my saddest memories well up. It's like this song is telling me to mend my shattered soul
Same it’s so sad and so soft and so beautiful and I feel so bad for Diluc and Laeya and pray by the end of the game they can somewhat be what they once were or develop a new relationship and become the best of friends
Kaeya and Diluc probably have one of the most sad and tragic backstories ever, sometimes i feel like everyone feels bad for diluc (same btw) but forget how kaeya must feel, he was left alone as a mere child to carry the burden of his people and race, and finally when he found himself a family and a dad that cares for him, he too died and not being able to bear the guilt, kaeya for once decided to speak the truth and come out clean, only for his brother to draw his sword on him, not that kaeya wasn't expecting it, he in fact wanted diluc to kill him that night, because he didn't want to pick between his people, or the people of mondstadt, and right then he got his vision which he probably sees as a curse, knowing the guilt will haunt him forever, but tbh kaeya to this day gives his all to try and fix his and diluc's relashionship, but can only be rejected over and over again because diluc himself is probably afraid to be hurt again, that is the saddest part, kaeya is now only a person who has given up everything and just lives his life pointlessly, knowing he will never feel comfort anymore, and that he has no where to belong to. he lives his life in lies because the one time he spoke the truth, it only backfired at him and had him lose the last person he had as family. that's why i feel like lots of people entirely mischaracterize him. his "confidence" is only an act to cover up how hurt and insecure he actually is. not only that, but kaeya probably longs for the days where he and diluc were young and had fun together. i think he'll play a bigger part later on in the story and can only wish him a happy ending. (from a kaeya main who loves him a bit too dearly)
When you say Kaeya probably longs for the days when he and diluc were young reminds me of the scenes in Golden Apple Archipelago, when he would talk about playing at the beach with diluc when they were young and when he remarks along the lines of 'Wouldn't it be great to be young again, to be free and unrestrained like Klee, and to be able to do whatever you want'. I interpret this line as Kaeya wishing he could have been free of restraints, free to love, and choose what to do, since his he was never able to in his childhood, and was burdened between choosing monstadt and the Ragnvindr family, or Khaenri'ah and his father that abandoned him. Kaeya and Diluc's relationship is a bittersweet one, however, I think differently about Kaeya giving his all to fix their relationship, and Diluc rejecting him. I think their relationship is better than what most percieve it to be, although they are still curt to each other sometimes. Like when Diluc kept the vase that Kaeya gave to him (Kaeya also held onto his vision and gave the vase with his vision after Diluc returned). Also, at the Golden Apple Archipelago Diluc reminisces how Kaeya still loves summers as he did when he was a child. But I definitely think Kaeya heavily blames himself after revealing the truth to Diluc and hides behind a cheerful and nonchalant facade to protect himself. There are some instances where I think Kaeya has convinced himself that Diluc thinks worse of him than what Diluc actually feels, like in Venti's quest, Diluc just tells him to drink repsonsibly and Kaeya is all like, 'or what? you're going to throw me out along with the trash, is that it' lmao. I've seen so many people say that Kaeya is suspicious, and speculate him as still being a spy but when I think about how he threw everything away by telling Diluc the truth, he chose Monstadt over everything and at that moment, was ready to let go of his past (although now he suffers the consequence of not letting himself be truthful). I really hope that Kaeya and Diluc can further amend their relationship, and that Kaeya achives a happy ending too... (Sorry I wrote so much, sincerely, a devastated Kaeya main who is too invested in their lore)
i wonder if Diluc ever sits alone in Dawn Winery and at one point hesitates about Joining the Knights of Favonius again. But it only occurs for a split second.
This is probably the most Dlluc thing I ever read in the comments. I can actually see this happening. Just my own thoughts but, I don’t really think he is 100 percent over being a knight. It’s just with everything that has happened to him, He just can’t trust them as he once did.
these comments are so overwhelming- im actually crying :( It’s so crazy to think about how much Genshin has become a part of my life (maybe yours too), even if it’s just a gacha game, I feel so deeply connected with the characters. This song reminds me of Kaeya and Diluc of course, and it makes me so sad. I feel so bad for them, I can’t help it, even though they’re only fictional characters. I don’t even know what im talking about at this point, I guess I just think it’s so weird how I’m literally crying over a character (from a freaking gacha game) ‘s backstory. I have quite a hard time crying in real life, so this just leaves me to wonder, why do I feel sad? I don’t know
People cry over movies and novels we are belong to the same community.. and we all are just character in people's life at some point So it's totally.. normal
You know that feeling when you first enter Liyue and you're like. "This isn't where I belong. Everything feels so foreign and I feel lost." So you go back to Mondstadt because the sights and the music are the same and familiar.
@@colleennewholy9026 Same. Even tho I love the Japanese theme, Inazuma just fells odd to me... Mondstadt and Lyiue feel nicer. I always go to Mondstadt to collect the reward for daily commissions, to forge, cook, craft...
I love all the new nations but monstadt always feels like home to me. Maybe because i'm european so the asian inspired nations are unfamiliar to me. If i had to choose where to live, i'd choose Mondstadt, specifically the area near Dawn winery.
Diluc softly hums to the sound of a familiar lullaby, he's not sure in which part of his past has he heard this, but it was magical and the colors of the sounds swirled around his home creating a comfortable atmosphere. Once a Knight of Favonious, Diluc wonders how the others are doing now, what would his father think of him, and if the path he's walking on was steady enough to support him on his journey. Diluc, along with his thoughts slowly blur into one until the only thing he could hear was the pitter patter of rain and the soft crackle of fire.
I will test this theory I'll be sleeping and will leave this on I'll make 1 wish tomorrow and see if it works It won't work but I'll humor diluc anyway Goodnight
@@King_Jockey BKJBASA mine was guaranteed pity tho i didnt really expected him to come home since the characters i thought i could only reach were qiqi or keqing, and the 5 star weapons as usual--
I have always wanted to get him...I'm ready to give my hu tao just to get him.. I too don't care about the damage and how the characters are op.. I just want to take keaya and diluc to the dawn winery together...beating some fatui,abyss mages doing daily commission.and then go to my teapot,which is designed as the down winery style to get some rest.. This why i main keaya.. Keaya waiting for his brother to keep fighting together,as they used to be...
@@yuk1.626 Diluc have never came to my home. Now, I dont have rate up and I will pull for Yae Miko when she comes. But I secretly want to lose her to Diluc :/ when I feel lonely in genshin's this huge world, I go to dawn winery (with Kaeya) and feel peaceful a little. Sometimes I want to see Diluc walking around the winery and check the products. Looks like we wont have a quest/event includes Diluc for a while so I have to take a Diluc for this haha (T-T)
the harp is so calming. this theme song really reminds me of adventures in the woods and muddy paths stick onto your boots. this really gives me an imagination of a work of art or beauty.
"Sometimes, life can change in an instant." The day that Crepus spoke these words to Diluc would turn out to be the latter's last as a Knight of Favonius. For on that day, a horrific monster attacked the transport fleet he and his father were traveling with. There was no time for Diluc to send for help. The monster was stronger than any foe the young Cavalry Captain had ever encountered and overpowered him. Diluc could never have anticipated the way this battle would end: His Father, who had denied admittance into the Knights and who was shunned by the gods, defeated the monster with an unknown evil power-before that same power backfired, mortally wounding Crepus himself. Crepus died shortly after in his son's arms. With a heavy heart, Diluc returned to the Knights' headquarters, only to receive an unthinkable order from Inspector Eroch: "Conceal the truth." Eroch insisted that the incident must be portrayed as an unfortunate accident in order to maintain the reputation of the Knights of Favonius in the eyes of the public. Such was the sheer outrageousness of this request that Diluc did not think it was even worth trying to argue. Diluc's father had once said to him that the world would never turn its back on the faithful. But now, the Knights of Favonius trampled on his faith like it was nothing. He couldn't help but wonder: What was his father's view on faith in his final moments? Diluc resigned from the Knights that day and left everything behind, including his Vision. He swore to avenge his father's death, and to find the source of the occult power which had caused his father's demise.
I hope we get an Act 2 for Diluc's story quest, I really wanna see his character fleshed out in the game itself. I mostly come here at the winery just for the view and music, get a cup of coffee and think about what to do next.
Same but… idt we’re gonna see more of Diluc’s story until we meet more of the harbingers (and we have gotten a few little crumbs of info about his personality and backstory from some events and Kaeya’s hangout, so that’s nice). Dottore was… busy when we saw him in Sumeru, so maybe Diluc will pull up next time we see him? Who knows…
All the comments are about diluc backstory and stuff but I can only think about his voice line: “Listen, as long as you stick to your own path it doesn’t matter what Mother Nature throws at you.” And “Rain, if only it could cleanse the corrupt souls of this world.”
was doing that just now. Muted the ingame sound, switched to reject join requests, played this video and started reading his story for the 10th time and started bawling my eyes out. I dont know why some people hate Kaeya. Diluc doesnt hate Kaeya and Kaeya doesnt hate Diluc. This song works so perfectly well for both the brothers. My absolute favorite theme
Sitting down, under the rain, Diluc strums each string of his guitar, his hair covering his eyes, not being able to difference the tears from the rain. He sat there, alone, at the top of a small hill, remembering everything his "brother" had said to him a few moments ago. "I'm sorry, I betrayed you" Kaeya's words spun in his head "I betrayed everyone... Lisa, Jean, and... you..." The sound of the blades clashing against each other banged inside his mind, but he still strummed his guitar. He threatened his brother with his own sword, and he threatened back. "Go ahead, end my life. Cut it short as you please. My life is one full of lies. I lied to your people and mine more than once." his shaky voice... his eyes, wet with tears, he couldn't get it out of his head. "If you were going to do this, start a war and betray us, why didn't you do this before?" Diluc asked, with a shaky voice. "I couldn't bring myself to, you were my brother after all." "Am I not your brother now?" "... I... don't know.. anymore." As he gave one last strum, he stood up, wiped his face and walked back to the winery, to pretend nothing ever happened.
This sounds like an adventurer taking a long rest after a days work, maybe after one of his friends died. Tragic but they have to realise their life goes on, and keep the lost one in their memories. Tragic solitude
This will become a nostalgic masterpiece that we will visit once again in a few years, and as we listen to this, we will feel a sudden emptiness welling up inside us. Some of us may cry, some of us may laugh, all in the memories of what we accomplished in our days of joy as the Traveler.
I'm so afraid tbh. It's been a long time since I've been this invested in fictional characters, and where mihoyo takes it is completely open, but if Honkai Impact is anything to go by...I'm worried for their fate 😢
As the male figure looks out the window, he can hear the pitter-patter of the soft rain, and the sadness that lingers in the air around him. "I miss you, dad,".
We never wanted war, it is the war that wanted us, and we can't do anything about that. But if there's just a little moment of peace, enjoys it while it lasts
You’re sitting on the edge of that cliff in the rain, watching the Dawn Winery... thinking about him. You miss him. You haven’t seen him in so long. You wonder how he’s doing. You think about him everyday and you often wonder.. “Does he think about me too..?” He has taken over your thoughts, he is stuck in your head and it’s driving you nuts. The only thing you want... is him, but he feels so far away.
Spoilers: As a Diluc kinnie and always being reminded of his backstory makes me sob when I hear the theme. Really, imagine having a father who passed away and was forced to quit the knights of favonious + loosing your brotherly relationship with your adopted brother to the point you can’t see each other as siblings anymore. I wish the olds times, where they were brothers and living a happy life, could come back. :(
"Mrs. Ragnvindr... Welcome home." Home... Yes, home. But was it really home, though? I had just returned from his funeral. The funeral of the man I loved so much. I slowly slid the black gloves from my hands, handing them over to Elzer. It was a dark day, and I don't think I will forget the image of my beloved being lowered into the earth, the bouquets of glimmering lamp grass and fragrant calla lilies decorating the top. My hands move up to slide the black cloak off my shoulders, swiftly moving it over to hang it up on the coat rack. My husband's suit jacket hanging next to my cloak. I missed him already. The winery felt empty without him, not as cozy as it used to... "Where are they?" I asked the butler, who only nodded towards the stairs. I should've known they'd be upstairs, this was harder on them than it was for me. I heard footsteps on the second floor, two pairs to be precise, and before long, my children were embracing me. In silence, because it was a dark day after all. "There you are..." I said as my lips curved into a faint, pained smile. "I hope you two didn't give Elzer a hard time?" "No mother.." The two children replied in unison, and I ran a hand through their hair. My oldest fell quiet shortly after, and I crouched down infront of him, holding his hands in mine. "Diluc, my sweetheart... Daddy is in a much better place now, don't forget that... He fought to keep Mondstadt safe, to keep us safe. You, your brother, and me..." It was then that I heard the quiet sobs of my other son, and I looked over to meet his glimmering blue eye, full of tears. "Kaeya... Come here, sweetheart.." I coaxed him closer, and wrapped both my arms around my boys. "Mommy loves you, and mommy will always protect you two. Never forget that..." *Crepus... How I wish you were still by my side...*
POV: Diluc hates rain because he can't stop thinking about his father The rain is pouring. You hate the rain. Because there is something about it, something about the silence that is so deafening around you and the silence that fills your ears like a cry for pity, cooling you down to the core and burning you out even though that's the thing you want to do the least. You want to scream and to hate the world, and escape this house, to run through the rain you once loved and the rain you once stood within with the man you admired the most. You want to sit there and look up at the sky and talk to him as he once was, not how he is left in your memory now. Pitiful, and a worthless sacrifice of the Knights that once were your everything. But when you look up, and the clouds are rumbling, and the rain is pouring, his voice that once soothed you is no longer there. The fire that once stood in your heart is in shambles, out of wood and the tiniest of flames dying out little by little. It all started then, and every hope you have, every flame you rekindle, is extinguished by the rain. You hate the rain. Something is crackling in the distance, not the warm flames that embraced you nor the light of the day that you walked in with the man who was your everything, but the crackle of lightning and thunder and the harbingers of everything bad to come. You hate the rain. You want nothing more than to sit here and accept the loud silence as its own, to gasp at the pain and curl into a corner and embrace the pain because he is everywhere. You want nothing more than that: than to just bathe in his memory, in his reminiscence, and hang onto the him that is left, the him that is fading like a scent left out too long. You want to cry, and you want to see him. But you can't. Instead, you push yourself up, and you shake the tears out from your eyes, and you hold onto your sword, hoping that one day... You won't hate the rain anymore, because it no longer haunts you as it once did.
The first time I visited the Dawn Winery at night and heard this theme, I was like “this sounds like the theme of a lonely guy… lonely, but peaceful in a way.” After reading a bit of the webtoon and discovering Diluc’s backstory, this theme makes me tear up from time to time. I can imagine this playing as Diluc holds his dad’s body in the rain- In a way, this sounds like what loneliness and longing feels like
This piece makes me can't help but feel sad for Diluc. He's always been there to protect Mondstat but in the end he can only feel like he's on his own and no one's there to understand him Every players been saying he's out of meta and stuff but i still play as him, sometimes taking a stroll along the Dawn Winery's path when it rains at night to feel his sorrow that he has to endure alone hoping that it'd make him feel better even though i know he's just a character...
just this soundtrack being called "lone sojourner" really talks about diluc's past story after my father died, after I left the ordo of favonius, I took my father's "delusion" he got from the fatui and decided to go all around teyvat to know more about the "delusions" and why my father had one. But before I left my brother kaeya wanted to tell me something. To think he would be a spy from khaenri'ah. Unbelievable. I left the winery to my trusted butler. It's been two years since i've left Mondstadt. It's lonely traveling alone. But it's fine. I'm used to it now. I miss Mondstadt. I miss the people there. I'm still recovering from my wounds of my last battle against some fatui guards and I think I'll return to Mond soon. I don't think I can do this for much longer. -Diluc Ragnvindr, 20 years old please bear with me its my first time doing this kinda thing and english isnt my first language so yeah hoped you enjoyed it :)
I honestly love this theme so much. There’s nothing really ‘special’ to it; it’s played simply by a sole guitar. The gorgeous soundtracks that play in the streets of Liyue and Mondstat and character themes are much more extravagant. The dawn winery isn’t anything extraordinary either; though it is beautiful, it doesn’t compare to the gorgeous cathedral, or the incredible mountains of Liyue. Everything about this is so humble. It’s nice and simple, yet feels melancholy thanks to the minor key. Nothing can really compare.
reading these comments and realizing how sad of a character diluc really is be while listening to this beautiful soundtrack that reminds me of italy is makin me feel things
this is so sad but so incredibly pretty…it’s like how the darkest nights are some of the most breathtaking… i love the way this song feels. it feels like comfort in sadness, the same way rain is both cold and warm. it feels like this song is telling me “it’s okay to be sad, for even these mellow moments are one’s we will soon cherish” :( ahdjfkskdks i just love how this theme communicates the beauty in sadness
I love this theme, It just provides a different kind of comfort. But it also makes me sad, it makes me long for a country and people who only exist on a screen. It makes me drift into a different time and place, one where you can wander through grape vines contentedly while humming a tune. Sit by a fire, with a blanket and warm drink. Run with friends along the vast stretches of grass, letting your feet sink into the dirt. Lay in the shade of a big tree, reading your favorite story.
Pov: you and diluc are about 14, you sneak through the grape vines to the east side of the winery where you climb up to a window where he waits for you.
I don't play Genshin at all, but I'm a fan of the soundtrack. Really talented people behind the scenes! More so when you try to play this piece by ear, quite the simple melody in C minor, with the acoustic guitar (?) strumming out delicate chords, with a nice enough dissonance between some of the Major 7th intervals. Really sells that cozy feeling
I imagine Venti leaning against the wall right outside the winery, playing this on his lyre as Diluc works inside. He can’t hear anything through the window, and the room is warmly lit, but he can see his eyes. That’s enough for him to tell his tale.
I walked into Dawn Winery with Kaeya and had him sit down by the fireside. I took some pictures and named them "Days Gone By" and "What Could Have Been" With this music, it was quite the melancholic endeavour. About Kaeya and Diluc - I'm sure they do still care about one another, somewhere deep inside their hearts.
weh i've been falling asleep to this for months, and there was a period of time when i had to sleep on the couch in the living room cos my bed was too messy and i just listened to this to fall asleep. worked every time, most of the time in under 30 minutes. thank u :3
I love this so much it helps me relax so good but it also makes me feel kinda sad and lonenly but i still love listening to it while falling asleep its so smoothing
I wonder if I'll ever visit this video in the future. Genshin impact is definitely my comfort game... I think the first game that has truly brought me comfort.
i remember falling asleep to this video the first time now almost 3 years ago. It is crazy how nostalgic this audio has become for me. Thank you for making this video it has gotten me through many restless nights ❤ btw ive been playing 3 years and still no diluc, wish me luck!!
Just imagine you see this 10years or 20years from now and genshin is no longer in the scene the Nostalgia is too much too handle specially if your are diluc main 🥺😔
Yea man, genshins been accompanying me since the first COVID pandemic and I miss the old genshin "Bennet is C tier diluc better" "don't use Xiao's ult u will hurt him😡"
