LYRICS:
Purest Gold Gavin Dunne 2024
On the wings of the butterfly
From the rings of the falling sky
I linger in my dreams to stay the pain
On the wings of the butterfly
We will sing of a mother's lie
And every sorry soul shall know my name
Beneath the empty womb
The leaves come gently falling
My golden guise a failing remedy
Our tree is halved and hewn
Yet I can hear you calling
Your voice still echoes silently
Torn apart are we
I've waited so long for you
Carrying on for you
Onto the faintest hope I hold
I've waited so long for you
Carried this burden to
Fend off the fortunes long foretold
To rot in purest gold
To rot in purest gold
On the wings of the butterfly
In the deep where we dim and die
I shed my stricken skin, this crumbling bark
All the ruin that I have wrought
All the scars of the battles fought
Through sightless eyes I gaze into the dark
And in my still repose
Time passes oh so slowly
In shrouded shelter I remain confined
Until the flower grows
Blossom of blight will hold me
So I may bloom a final time
I shall dance divine
I've waited so long for you
Carrying on for you
Onto the faintest hope I hold
I've waited so long for you
Carried this burden to
Fend off the fortunes long foretold
To rot in purest gold
To rot in purest gold
And I'm still longing
For the comfort that you brought
No sign or song of what I've sought
I will dance divine
Down in these roots I slumber
My form it falls asunder
Feed me these dregs to conquer
So I may taste my honour lost
I will dance divine
On the wings of the butterfly
From the rings of the falling sky
I linger in my dreams to stay the pain
On the wings of the butterfly
We will sing of a mother's lie
And every sorry soul shall know my name
They will know my name
I've waited so long for you
Carrying on for you
Onto the faintest hope I hold
I've waited so long for you
Carried this burden to
Fend off the fortunes long foretold
To rot in purest gold
To rot in purest gold
In darkness I will dance divine

This song and dlc may show to us why Malenia fought Radahn. As miyazaki stated defeating radahn is necessary to enter the dlc. Malenia knew this too, she was carrying out her brothers will. Only she wasn't strong enough and could mot cope with failure and her brothers loss. Maybe she knew miquella would be taken, maybe miquella beguiled mohg to take him. The allure and true wisdom of a god indeed?

Had a theory that maybe Radahn did hold the Shadow Lands in another dimension high in the sky. After his death it's accessible again. Maybe Malenia wanted to go after her brother, but was exhausted after her first bloom and lost part of her memory. She only knew she should wait for his return in the Haligtree. So she fell in a deep slumber and waited for his return until the tarnished arrived @@outlawdolphin1831

Elizabeth as Malenia might be the most ingenious vocal casting I've ever seen. Malenia is not only an operatic figure in her own right (in fact, "Elden Ring" itself is clearly modeled on the mythology behind "Ring of the Nibelungen"), but she's also clearly modeled on a Valkyrie, which means in opera terms she needs to sound like a Wagnerian Soprano (after the most famous Wagner soprano role, Brunnhilde). Only an opera singer with Elizabeth's pipes and with her unusually dark tone (for a Soprano) can pull off what is, essentially, a Valkyrie rotting into a one-woman apocalypse. I also just have to gush about the video editing combined with the music and lyrics; it made my heart ache for Malenia and love her boss fight so much more. Yes, I know I'm rambling, but I'm in awe.

@matthewwhittall1205 3 месяца назад

If I may comment on the video used, I want to talk about the fact that lore was used here in quite brilliant ways. First of all, using the Bewitching Branch - which supposedly is derived from the power of Miquella himself - on Malenia which only results in her seemingly getting angrier was amazing. Then summoning the three wolves, the first summons in the game and the ones that belonged to "Torrent's previous owner", which is heavily implied to be Miquella, is also brilliant. It's like this Tarnished is throwing everything that reminds her of her missing brother in her face and he does not even realise it. I also appreciate the usage of fire, as it is the element that she is weakest to - and one of the very few ways that the denizens of the Lands Between have held off the Scarlet Rot. Finally, I really like the usage of Placidusax's Ruin, because defeating Placidusax is the only way to complete the Unalloyed Needle and make it whole, which is also the only way to rid yourself of the Frenzied Flame. All in all, the fight between Malenia and the Tarnished was full of lore and I loved it. EDIT: I completely missed that the Tarnished was using the Torch of St. Trina, the alter ego of Miquella (at least, St Trina is the alter ego of Miquella in cut content - so it may or may not still be true. Still, a very cool detail!)

@TheCharismaticVoice 3 месяца назад

Woooooow. This game is so beautiful and the lore is so deep. Your comment made me realize more and appreciate even more how well the video was done. Mispap1 did an incredible job. Thank you!

@matthewwhittall1205 3 месяца назад

@@TheCharismaticVoice I did forget to mention that you obtain the Unalloyed Gold Needle from defeating Malenia after completing Milicent's questline. So that's the connection to Placidusax. There's a lot more lore but I'll leave that to VaatiVidya

@Spid4r1 3 месяца назад

Wait, I dont remember this about the wolves. The ashes said they met a previous tarnished and hunted with him. Did they belong to Miquella?

@matthewwhittall1205 3 месяца назад

@@Spid4r1 So the ashes do say that they encountered a nameless Tarnished, but there is a theory (that I tend to subscribe to but obviously that does not make it fact) that this is referring to you, the player. The theory started before Shadow of the Erdtree was announced but gained some serious traction as a result of that teaser image - showing Miquella riding on Torrent. It's just that before we get Torrent, we see Melina has Torrent - yet Melina does not give us the Spirit Ashes, instead Ranni claims that "Torrent's previous owner wanted you to have these." So why would Melina not give them to us, unless Torrent was not her horse - she was just giving him to us. Perhaps under instruction? Given that Miquella could 'compel affection' and the bewitching branch basically does some low-key mind control, it's theorised that Miquella made Ranni (who for some reason introduced herself as Renna the first time and then never explains why) give us the Spirit Ashes and that Miquella also compelled Melina to give us Torrent. Melina herself says "Torrent had your measure from the very start, while I merely pretended." So why would Melina make a deal with us in the first place if she didn't believe in us? The theory is definitely not solid, but it does play into the fact that Miquella's presence is already felt all over, even though he has very little screentime. It's also possible that the "nameless Tarnished" refers to Vyke of the Roundtable, as he was going to play a bigger role in one version of the story - he even made it onto the box art. These are all theories, but it's the theory I like the most - sort of being "Miquella's Chosen". I just like the idea that there are people; whether hidden or with their own motivations... who are rooting for you. After all, Elden Ring is somewhat more of an upbeat story than Dark Souls (comparatively, anyway) and is meant to be more triumphant and less hopeless. TL;DR That's just a Theory, a GAME THEORY I'm so sorry about the wall of text.

@apofatix 2 месяца назад

It's consistent theory though. There's nothing that directly contradicts it, and better theories haven't been put forward. Making it a _justified_ theory. Is there different more cohesive explanation of Ranni searching out the owner of Torrent to give out the bell, hmm? It's still not on the level of scientific theory, of course, because we are lacking means to make predictions on its basis and conduct their falsification. Yet it is on the level of, let's say, historical knowledge. As in the end of ww2 happened in 1945, you can't go back and check, yet records and the world as it came to be as a result of it leave no room to different opinions. TLDR There is no real need to undersell the theory until new contradicting data or reasonable alternative interpretation provided. Also minor correction: you don't need to kill Placidusax to use the needle, only get to the arena. Sorry, if the comment came out as a critique, I wrote it rather to support the point.

@Antidragon-nl7by 3 месяца назад

I love how Gav carries on the theams from previous songs. In _Fallen Leaves,_ we were led to question if we truely believed in "the gilded and gold", or truely desired the power it promised _(Is it all that you wanted and more?)_ Gold may be precious and beautiful, but not necessarily _good._ PUREST gold may be something to fear.

Really great work here showcasing a hard-won fight with Malenia, I think this has to be one of my favorite videos in all of your channel's releases so far. I know it's just game footage, but it's just so well utilized, and the fight shots look awesome. Beautiful song too of course. The operatic vocals work amazingly well with your style.

@apossiblyhereticalalphaleg3595 3 месяца назад

Elizabeth's voice has an operatic quality to it that makes it sound almost ephemereal, if that is the word I'm looking for. It truly sounds like every word could so easily disappear before it's even said, rotted away to never shine. Encased by the wonderful music Gav has produced it's honestly amazing! Not to mention the constrast in the callback to Scarlet Sky Scarlet Sky says the following, laced with poison against _her_ yet equal measures filled with longing for what once was there: "Down in the roots she slumbers as I am torn asunder the hunger ever stronger just let me taste my honor lost..." And Purest Gold provides an answer to Radahn's wish, I'd say this part is one of the more "solid" sung, as if these words are still purely rooted into the Lands Between compared to the fading quality of the other vocals. As much as Radahn may spite Malenia for what she did, none suffer as much as the Empyrean of Rot. I can only hope I have managed to succesfully demonstrate my feelings towards this absolutely wonderful song!

The Greater Will demands it, and so it has been spoken into existence. I love the duality shown between Radahn and Malenia here, with the bridge around 5 minutes in, with similar lyrics and motif, but where Radahn's was almost screaming in like his second phase, this became faster paced and more fluid, just like her fight. Phenomenal work!

W-O-W. This is... it's not even beautiful. It's something more, something deeper. The music, the words Gavin used, Elizabeth's voice... this song is as perfect as it is haunting. But haunting... in a good way. It's hard to describe, but I feel it could actually be my favourite Gavin's song. Amazing. Simply amazing. Thank for your work: finding this quality in music it's not easy, and yet every song you create always reach a new height. This one? This one is special. Even for your standards.

This the one collab I didn't know I needed, but oh my God if this didn't make me cry. Gav, the first time I discovered you was in 2016 when I found "Wake the White Wolf" and "Legends of the Frost". And you've remained one of my top favorite artists even now in 2024. Thank you for taking the time and energy out of your day(s) to create songs like this and sharing them with us here on RU-vid and Spotify. Also, I do believe that this one of your best ones yet. Another one that I can think of is your "Soul of Sand" song with Sharm and Sheyma. And Valhalla Calling?? No words are needed for that one. Hehe. I cried towards the last part of the song because of how emotional invested I was in it. I've never played Elden Ring before and I don't have a strong enough set-up (PC or a PS5) to run it currently, but this definitely makes me want to know more about it. Thank you to Elizabeth by helping make this song possible. You truly have an amazing voice, and I would personally love to hear more collaborations from you both (whenever possible) in the near future.

Malenia might be the most frustrating boss (aside from Maliketh). But she is definitely one of, if not the coolest character in Elden Ring. Her backstory, her design, her attacks, and her dialogue are so cool! And she deserves an awesome power anthem like this! Awesome work with this song MOS and CV! P.S. Loved that little nod to Scarlet Sky you had! Makes sense too since Radhan and Malenia are so connected?

4:35 Really cool nod to the lore in this scene. The Tarnished uses a Bewitching Branch, an item associated with Miquella and his powers. The very next shot is a statue of (I think?) Malenia embracing Miquella, and the very next shot is Malenia facing off against Radahn. I like to interpret this as Malenia being hit by the branch's magic and instead of being placed under it's spell, simply gets hit with a wave of nostalgia and/or remembrance of past events.

@halfknight2310 2 месяца назад

Yeah. It would make sense it doesn’t work on her. But it sent her into a flashback. Reminding her why she fought. What she was fighting for. And with that, she was able to impale the tarnished. Hence why she begins fight even harder against the tarnished

I have to be honest, I don't know what this game is. I came to check this out being a fan of Elizabeth/The Charismatic Voice. Oh my God, this is amazing. I'm a Metalhead so I'm feeling the Nightwish/Xandria/Within Temptation vibes of this. But the video matched with the lyrics and of course Elizabeth's beautiful voice is breathtaking. It also feels sad too so I don't know if that is a part of her character in the game. This is stunning work though so I subscribed and will be checking out more even though I don't play the games. 😎👍
