*SPOILER Alert* Baldur's Gate 3 OST - Down By The River 

Shoutout to borislav to find an elf to sing this song

Thank you for all Borislav.

I did not expect an astarion x shadowheart edit to this but wow!!! I love this song so much. Thank you so much Boris.

Last few months have been rough after losing my father due to complications he got from surgery. Baldurs gate and all these songs have really helped me deal with the situation. While I play I get to enjoy beautiful music and my mind wont be going through all the hard stuff that has happened within last 2 months. Thank you so much Borislav Slavov for these beautiful songs!

Great to see the singer get some shine in the spotlight too

Thank you Borislav & Mariya for the gorgeously haunting song and Felix for the edit ❤ This song always takes me back to early access where I spent hours in character creation and reminds me how much I got entranced by Baldur's Gate 3

Goosebumps. This game is what you always dreamed of in a Dungeons and Dragons game. This is 30 years of experience talking.

Mariya's voice is just beautifully perfect and I'm so happy to see this version uploaded that showcases her performance 🤎

I had never imagined that a song could elicit such a high level of goosebumps. Ive been listening to the whole Baldurs Gate 3 soundtrack for days. But these goosebumps wont go away.

Your music is one of those things that makes the game a masterpiece.

I finally brought myself to finish my first run of BG3 yesterday and even before I finished it, every time I'd listen to the OST it'd sound so nostalgic for me, even though I only started playing early last month. And now that I got to the end I can't help but cry when hearing it again. I haven't felt so immersed in a game in a really long time and it's been difficult to in most games these days. I obsessively binged BG3 for weeks though I had to take breaks because even though I was being very thorough and taking awhile, I didn't want the game to end. I'm really going to miss BG3's world, especially the characters we got to know in it, and I'm hoping we'll be seeing a lot more of them in the future. And that the game's massive success will make this more of a possibility. Thank you so much for the incredible work on the soundtrack. It's one that'll always be memorable for me and take me back to my memories of this experience. Every piece is amazing with so much depth and love put into it.

Mariya Anastasovas voice was forged in heaven

It's almost 12 months now since the BG 3 release, aaaaaaaaaaand I am still in love with the music. Still love the game. It's gonna be a long wait for Larian's next venture but now knowing how fussy Swen is about artistic creation, it will be worth the wait. Raphael still hasn't clocked this on Spotify yet, although he is closing in at 8.35 mil vs 8.37

We goin down by the river with this one !!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wooow 🤍 That's so cool, really makes you dive both in the song and the game! 😊✨💫

Ah, that song makes me remember so many great moments from my first playthrough, especially the romance with Shadowheart. Such nostalgia and sadness... thank you, Milil/Borislav Slavov, for great music!

Just commented on the nightsong video. and just again Thank you for everything. The music you have made has gotten me through some rough things these past few months. Goosebumps from this as well.. Seriously thank you Borislav Slavov!

I never knew I needed this beautiful Bloodmoon pairing in my life! ☺

I love this song and all songs in BD3. Thank you!

Beautiful song, as always! And I love that the video ended up being Shadowheart x Astarion

This pushed me into playing Shadowheart as an origin

This song is definitely the one I will hear in my head when thinking of BG3 in the years to come. Its beats out Raphael's final act, I want to live, and the song of Balduran.

Astarion X Shadowheart is wacky at first, but it got me thinking about how interesting their relationship dynamic could be, given the significant transformations that their characters can go through over the course of their journey. (full game spoilers) That is to say, either really good or really bad. The embracing of freedom with Shart becoming a Selŭnite and Astarion learning to live as he is, or the corruption of becoming a Dark Justiciar and Ascendant Vampire respectively. Very good potential for an origin playthrough as either!

If this ship is canon, it is definitly a better love story than twilight

I ship so much Shadowheart and Astarion and this song is perfect.

This music somehow calling the deep emotions in you. Love it.

AN OFFICIAL AMV........ we are so blessed yall

Never would have thought that Emperor has such a beautiful voice

Yes! I was just looking for this song a couple of days ago. I love this version.

OMG, wow that was so good. The voice, the music and the visuals. Absolutely awesome.

I just got completely hypnotised by this song. So beautiful ❤

Thank you. You can't know how thankful I am for all of these songs Borislav.

wow, thank you for sharing this incredible piece of art x

I've watched your interview with Dan Allen today, absolutely wonderfool, so I subscribe to your channel after and what a pleasant surprise to get this gem :D

Saw your interview Borislav and I have all the more respect for the time and work you put into my favorite game of all time. Keep living out your passion! Also, when are we getting the original songs sung by you such as this one?

Love this game so much. And I adore the OST! 🥰🧡 Great video! (yet I can't watch it any further because of 'spoilers' ; there are many things I saved for my second and third playthrough)

Such a liquid smooth voice, oh my good lord.

One of my favorite songs of all time. Not gonna lie, ALL TIME

It's a fact, women can never resist a vampire.🧛‍♂🦇🦇🦇

Благодаря за този ранен коледен подарък, от мен и от името на съпругата ми! Сега ще я 'изтъркаме' от слушане.

Such a hauntingly beautiful melody, and it's interesting how you hear the melody of it in almost everywhere you go, even at camp. It's also the first song you hear while making your character, so to me this is pretty much the official theme for Baldur's Gate 3 and a worthy one. Mariya has this gorgeous, ethereal tone to her voice. It truly sounds like an angel or even a goddess singing. And of course, the arrangement and music by Borislav are spectacular as well. Love how it's like a music video! Shadowheart x Astarion, why did I never think of that? They do make a good couple (well if it weren't for my Tav of course swooping in and stealing Astarion away lol). I don't know why, but for some reason it didn't occur to me that you could romance anybody when playing an Origin character? Seems kind of obvious now lol, seeing these breathtakingly beautiful and romantic cutscenes. Also is it just me or does this song sound like it could also be a dirge? In fact when I first heard it I wasn't able to make out the lyrics except for "down, down, down by the river", and the sort of melancholy sound made me think that this was supposed to be a sad song, like mourning someone. It also could be a lullaby in a way, especially the music box versions you hear if you play the music boxes scattered throughout the game. "Let your sleeping soul take flight/Take me through the night" sounds like it could also be a prayer for someone who has passed or part of funeral rites. Praying for the safe passage of your loved one's soul as they depart from this world, and for your own sorrow to abate during the wake. Interestingly, the word "wake" originally referred to an all-night prayer vigil. And "down, down, down by the river" makes me think of funerals where the body is placed on a small boat and sent out to sea or I think sometimes literally down a river. The last line though is the one that made me think that it could also be a dirge. At 2:04 the music kind of fades, and all that's left is this sort of dull, almost oppressive drone. It accompanies the lines two lines, "Don't wake me up just leave me there/Dreaming..." Again, there is that theme of being asleep and dreaming, never to wake ever again... Actually, if you listen closely that single chord/drone plays beneath the melody nearly the whole song, but you can only really hear it at the end, when the rest of the music stops.

Kino. Also, i'm not crying, you're crying.

I was already in lowe with the singer... There was no need to make me feel more ! Joke aside, thank you Borislav !

🎉🎉🎉🎉 congrats from Brazil... Tks...

This video needs so many more views. Easily my favorite Music in 30+ years of gaming. Well Done Borislav. You have gained a lifelong fan my friend. And Mariya's voice is just HAUNTING, in a good way. haha.

Should have been live on The Game Awards. You know i it, I know it, we all know it!

I love this song!! This edit is wild. Astarion in Karlach's pants had me rollin lol

Wow, this edit is beyond gorgeous. Your music rally hightens the game to s new level, always. It's the best score I have ever heard and it is now ongoing while I work. Thank you ❤

Borislav got so tired of people arguing about the lyrics he said here you go lmao

I'll upvote this Gem over and over again 😁

I'm calling this ship Bloodmoon

I love whole soundtrack but this just moves something in me.

Mara's appearance just makes this so more magical!

How this didn't win TGA23's best music is the real tragedy of this year.😢

най- накрая нещо което да ме накара да се гордея че съм БГ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your music for this game is so dope

So beautiful!

So good

This is truly beautiful. Thank you for this memorable song! Stay away from my woman, Astarion! 😜❤❤❤❤

I'm amazed this exists. I wanted it and didnt even know it.

The best music of the game, in my opinion.

My favorite song about my favorite fictional river

Спойлеров нахваталась - было супер :))) Спасибо!

12 months tomorrow on Spotify. 9.28 mil to Raphael in at 9.16 and Divinity Main Theme 9.13. I sat there thinking last year that it wouldn't surprise me if one of these songs clocked Divinity within 12 months and there you go, it came true.

This bard has rolled a critical charm on me damn

Красиво

nothing like watching astarian plow shadowheart down down down by the river

I LOVE YOU ALLLLL THANKS BORISSSS

Omg!!!!! I love this!

MAGICAL❤❤❤❤

Incredible

This... THIS!

The magesty of Baldurs Gate and the Forgoten Realms ....i was a child when imoen and Minsc become cover in my scoolbooks ....i have travel many miles and kill many dragons in the way.....from neverwinter to icewind dale.... 20 + years now i have never hear those amazing sounds you bring to us on this masterpiece! Dont even the mosst talented bards i know! 😄 Gongratulations Sir.....thank you for all the memories you are conect

First comment! Gorgeous video and song ❤🎉

.. "Don't wake me up, just leave me there... dreaming."

Gorgeous song, as the entire BG3 soundtrack is. The Shadowheart and Astarion pairing is a bit weird though not gonna lie

Maybe the real river was the friends we made along the way

Back for my fix ❤😊

Astarion and Shadowheart - I applaud this choice!

This song has DOS2 vibes, i like it

Epic

Perfect ☺

KE CAPOLAVORO "Down By The River"!!!!

BADASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Listening to his while the river nearby is flooding.

The music from this game has got to be some of the best ever. I've always heard that about the Skyrim or Witcher soundtrack, which is great don't get me wrong, but never once though the game did I feel I need to shut off the music to focus on the game like the others. Baldur's Gate really is a masterpiece in every which way. From the characters, to the gameplay, to the music, it absolutely deserved all the awards and so much more. Thank you Borislav! You've made a piece of art that I will listen to for the rest of my life. Thank you!

world tour when?!?

Ooh I'd love to see Lyrics videos for songs with the non-english (is it latin?) Language!

It is a powerful song.

Aaaa... I know the whole game... the only thing I haven't done yet is romance Shadowheart... and now i have her scene spoiled... I should have learned to read... or played more of the game! Jk ofc... Mariya is awesome! Do more of those, if anyone should do GVM-s with your music, it should be you mr Borsilav! Also if you need more elf-s for the next project... I'll be happy to partake! 🧝🏻‍♀🌹🔥

Oh hair shadowheart in her romance scene?? What sorcery is this and where can I get it

HOLD ON! HOW THE FUK CAN I GET THAT SWIMMING SCENE?

❤

I never would have thought to pair Astarion with Shadowheart, but damn...Now I think I might have to. 😂. Aside from my own male Tav, Gale, Wyll and the Dark Urge, I don't usually pair Astarion up with many of the characters (except maybe Halsin). Come on, let's face it;Astarion needs some _genuine love and care,_ damnit. 🥲.

Make a version like this for Raphael's Final Act please. I can't figure out what's the last line of the lyrics.

Borislav ships astarion and shadowheart 😭😭😭💖💅

Literally just finished a playthrough with Evil Astarion and Dark Justiciar Origin Shadowheart. Let's make this the canon couple and story!

What do you mean Shadowheart's partner isn't my Tav? Something weird's going on here

❤❤❤
