Demon's Souls OST - Character Creation Theme (extended) 

It's like being in an empty ocean, with just yourself in it.. nothing else

Best menu music in the souls franchise.

Servers just went down, RIP 2009-2018 We did it boys, Demons Souls is back! You all have hearts of gold, dont let them take it from you.

It sounds so... Otherworldly...

Something about Demon's Souls that the other games in the series just could not replicate and I miss it. Maybe I'm just nostalgic but I always remember a certain "atmosphere" Demon's Souls had that was full of intrigue. Felt like you were exploring the shadow of a broken world.

Being the character creation music, I imagine a baby in the womb. Safe, not really alive but certainly not dead, and completely ignorant of the outside world, just peacefully floating around. It's peaceful, yet you still have the urge to leave this peace.

This song seems so out of place. So calm, but not depressing. Nothing like this in any other Souls game.

A moment of calm before the shrine of storms.

There's something so ethereal about this.

This game was really creepy at its core. But in a good way, mind you.

I've listened to this well over 5,000 times over the past three years. I can fall asleep to this, study to this, daydream to this, etc. This is a timeless piece of menu music, and I think it's a shame that Dark Souls 3 did away with the peaceful, otherworldly music at the title and character creation menus.

When someone says Demon souls, this song comes to mind straight away

it's official boys, it's coming for the ps5

Organ: Religious, contemplative Chanting/Choir: Ominous, foreboding Synth Effect: Drawing, containing Overall a great song that draws the mind in and provokes thought while balancing low and high tones that have an almost horror effect

You have a heart of gold, don't let them take it from you. Thanks a million for uploading this.

Best character creation theme out of all of the Souls games and Bloodborne.

the most hardest stage in demon's soul

It’s 4.30 in the morning, I just got back from a party and I’m listening to this under the warm sheets of my bed, completely surrounded by the welcoming darkness of my bedroom and I’m having the time of my life. Forever grateful for this game and this soundtrack that will never grow old.

Just a correction: this piece is not by Shunsuke Kida, although it is obviously based on a theme -- that of the Nexus -- by Kida. It is in fact composed by Yuji Takenouchi, who also composed Dark Souls' menu music, and was both games' lead sound designer.

I miss music like this in Dark Souls 3.. :(

For anyone who wants more like this, the composer is Yuji Takenouchi/TECHNOuchi/Missingsoul. His music has a very distinct tone and is very similar to this, just often with a more upbeat/dance oriented style. Look up his remix of The Black Shell Beast King, from the Mushihimesama Double Arrange album; it uses many of the same samples/instruments as this. He was the lead sound designer for Demon's Souls, and composed this theme and the character creation theme in the original Dark Souls.

Literally a minute into the song, and I made my mind up to buy back my PS3 and replay this game. So many damn memories I want to relive just from hearing this tune.

I wish FromSoft kept their King's Field type of music in their Souls games like they did with Demon's Souls. There's that unexplainable feeling of eerie or creepy kind of feeling I get in these tracks. The soundtracks beyond Queelag started becoming grand, and it lasted to DS3.

So simplistic, yet hauntingly beautiful. This will always be my favorite character creation theme.

This feels distant, like in outer space. it sounds calming as if preparing you for the rage and tears.

One of the most influential and impactful games that will ever be made. Dark Souls was the true refinement of what Demons Souls should have been but Demons Souls lay the groundwork for everything that came after. This game changed the industry so much and will continue to do so for decades more

the rest of a warrior , he knows what is waiting outside. A melody of meditation before the battle.... Chills.

It's almost a year that I listen to this song everyday. No metter what troubles I have, or where I am: when I listen it, i feel a quiet, mysterious peace within myself.

I remember sometime in 2010's I've heard about demon souls. People were talking about it as if it's some old school game were you die easily and have to go truough a whole level again. I've tried it and it sucked me in straight away. It seemed that this was exactly the game I was looking for in terms of theme, atmosphere and gameplay. And look at it now it's a legend and a big brother to all the souls games, bloodborne. I haven't played demon souls since many years ago, so it's like a great nearly faded memory in my head just like this song.

This thing created my love for Dark Fantasy, best thing ever happened to me.

Amazing, wish I had a PS3 right now...

with this instrumentation it makes me think of a track in ghost in the shell's ost.

Excellent study music, really gets me in the zone. There are a lot of hidden gems in the Demon's Souls soundtrack.

Love how the theme kind of feels like you’re in a dark misty cave with droplets of water dropping into the puddles very serene yet chilling

5 people died at the character creation screen.

DeS definitley has the most kings field atmosphere of their 3rd person games, this song is a perfect example

Demon Souls Remake! Finally i will have a chance to play this game

This track is so mellow. It reminds me of resident evil save room themes

Really sets the tone for the entire game. Playing Demons souls is real experience.

I liked the original Demon Souls more than the remastered version.

So glad I started with Demons Souls and not Dark Souls. Got that shit on launch n its STILL a god damn BEAST!!!! Dark Souls is amazing but..... Demons Souls over Dark Souls any day! Cant wait for Bloodborne!

Setting this on loop while reading really does it. It doesn't take away the focus from my reading, in fact, it feels as though this track enhances my focus.

This song perfectly sets up the atmosphere and tone of the game. Very nostalgic too

This music makes me feel like I just hallucinated all of Demon's Souls, with it's dreamy atmosphere. Pleasant memories from a painful game.

Bluepoint are bastards for not including this song or any of the original music in the remake

Rest in peace Demon's souls

As I read through these comments it feels as if I’m sifting through a time capsule of a truly grandiose size, reading the numbers atop the comments it feels strange as I come to the same realisation as everyone else has come to too, that we are individuals living lives at different times, 9 years ago i didn’t know what a console or pc was, and now I read comments of people who had to scour for this song. How magical.

Came back to this after the PS5 remake was announced. Hope this music will still be in the game!

Absolute love. The Souls series to me has always had this deep spiritual feel and this song just feels like the pure essence of Souls.

Still one of my favorites

One of my favorite video game tracks ever. The atmosphere it sets is just...amazing.

Thank you for uploading this wonderful piece. This game is horribly underrated as it is, but the music is just too amazing to ignore. Love the atmosphere of this music!

kind of insane how 4:50 is very similar to the mountain top of the giants in elden ring. Also the dragons in demon souls are soo interesting

This is the limbo OST when you die and you’re neither evil or good. Purgatory type beat

This theme... its haunting, no yet... this is the DEFINITION of a hunting theme

Stunning atmosphere

Лучшая музыка в меню для меня. Уже на создании персонажа определяет всю атмосферу игры

i remember eating some french fries and tendies on my couch while this looped in the background 10pm no light other than the tv thinking about what kinda class or character i ought to pick slowly designing my character as i ate what a ride i was in for

Probably the best video game music I have ever heard. Simply amazing.

To me Demon Souls and Darksouls had the best atmosphere

It’s like everything about this game is eerie or terrifying in some way. The graphics may not be super great even by ps3 standards, but they really add a sense of dread to the game that no other souls game, or even it’s remake, could replicate.

In 2011 this music made me stay on the character creation screen a little longer than I admit fantastic game Demon Souls was a game that opened my eyes that difficulty could be fun

This and the character creation menus of ds1 hit hard

Sony has not forgotten about this game. the re-make releases sometime later in 2020.

My favorite game. I remember not having enough money to buy the newer games but when I played this I was like wow, how does no one play this? I felt like I was the only one who appreciated it. Everything about this game was perfect to me. I was trapped in a dark atmosphere that I never felt. But every win felt victorious especially because getting your souls back was really hard... A masterpiece

This song is so surreal, only way I can think of putting it. I get this feeling of nostalgia that I don’t even have. I never played this game when it came out and I only got to because I emulated it. I am now waiting for a ps5 just to play it again.

I feel like this music played for King Allant when he first discovered the beauty of the soul.

The remake removing the reverb on sound effects like dialogue and music may added clarity but it removed place; nobody feels like they are in their location when there's no echo and now there's awkward space where there used to be a filling reverb.

This helps my 2 year old daughter fall asleep at night

Thank you for uploading this! My favorite track, from this fantastic game!

This sounds like something you would hear in Symphony of the Night.

Thanks for putting this up! Always wanted this one.

Golden times that are lost forever

1:30 I imagine myself being trapped for eternity as this knight in the abandoned Italian city known as craco in an parallel universe. Its Dark and gloomy. I doesn't matter how often i try to escape, there is no way to leave this place. Many other died there. It's an mysterious place with strange creatures and other survivors.

the ultimate meditation melody

That Is so great! Thank you, dude. 😀👍

This is soo good. I remember firing up DS just to leave it on the start menu and listen to this. Thank you!

I cant wait to hear this in the remake

THANK YOU!!!! i still couldnt understand why this song was never in the soundtrack.

It's been years since I've listened to it, man I feel like I'm going to cry

Everything started here... The calm before the storm.

Demon`s Souls will live on, even without the online mode, I assure you; Best of luck to you :)

I love the melancholy in the atmosphere of souls games. Hauntingly beautiful.

You have a heart of gold. Don't let them take it from you!

Chills

Damn, now that we're getting a remake I'm hoping to hear this again, and possibly if this does get in it might be even better

BEST TRACK ON GAME

I imagine a black void and a small light in the distance but no matter how far you walk you never reach the light

I like to imagine that this is the type of music that they would have in the souls universe.

Great music to listen to when alone

I never got the chance to listen to this because I never got a chance to play it when I was younger makes me kinda sad

I played DS1 to Bloodborne fbefore going back and plaything this and the moment I heard this I knew I was in for something special. This sound... It reminds me of being lost in Frigid Outskirts and the Shaded Woods ❤ but but somehow more relaxing and calming yet nerve pulling :)

I have never played demon souls before, I have only discovered this track like a day ago and yet somehow I feel nostalgic

Original is a masterpiece

Thank you so much for uploading this! By far the best piece of music from Demon's Souls and yet it wasn't included in the soundtrack. I never understood why the makers omitted it from the release and spent a ton of time scouring the internet for it, and finally... I've found it. Thanks again!

No other Souls game will ever have cool shit like this.

This makes me cry man, so beautiful

Best song in the game Thanks for the upload.
