Here we are together, at the end of an era. With "Bonfire (A Rest)" hailing as my final Dark Souls song, it felt appropriate to pay tribute to the serene melancholy of gathering around a flame and resting while bumping into other travelers of the same need. Somewhere along the way, it turned into a ballad of friendship and comradery, much like an end-of-the-year holiday gathering among old acquaintances. I suppose this is about as seasonal as a Dark Souls song could be! I've even gone and edited in a little extra holiday cheer.
Thank you all for being here with me on my journey through these transitory lands.
Lyrics:
I felt my bones shiver
Across rifts of time
I saw ghosts in the mist
And their faces like mine
And I looked to the footsteps
And gazed on a sign
That said "call my name
I'll join in the fight"
Broken and withered
We will rise again
My brothers and sisters
In death we are friends
Incandescent together
A slow fading light
The efforts cascading
Our time is tonight
Fractured and feeble
Ordinary people
Putting resolve to the test
Nobody chose to be risen
But new life is given
When we light a bonfire to rest
Old friends and rivals
We sit by the flame
To share in the moment
Before we can claim
Our own destiny's purpose
In each of our homes
We've all got our battles
But no one's alone
Nameless and searching
The light keeps us warm
In need and in danger
It guides through the storm
As we share in a question
Will we meet again
To sing by the embers
And brace for the end
Fractured and feeble
Ordinary people
Putting resolve to the test
Nobody chose to be risen
But new life is given
When we light a bonfire to rest
Undying forever
Through war and dark weather
Binding to search for a light
Some lit by grace or by embers
We're searching together
Starved for that break from the fight
Swords losing sharpness
To angels and darkness
These soldiers push on through the mire
Now we're all faced with the ending
The burn before mending
A vision to let there be fire
Fractured and feeble
Ordinary people
Putting resolve to the test
Nobody chose to be risen
But new life is given
When we light a bonfire to rest

    Yeah, I think that's very much a theme of the game. It might feel like you're alone with a daunting task, but if you just look around you'll see that there are many others who are going through the same thing as you, and while they can't do your work for you, they'll provide what help they are able.

    I love how this song frames those fleeting moments of rest, you stop to level up, equip yourself, plan where to go next or just to breathe. And then around you, you see other players who, like you, are resting from the battles that we all try to overcome, strangers who remind you that you are not alone, fellow travelers with unknown names who through messages or jolly cooperation in combat, will accompany you on the adventure. In the end we will always gather together around the bonfire.🔥 Happy Holidays 🎄

    Quite the send-off for the series, a song to share the delights we all had at the same bonfires dozens - hundreds - of times. Trials both in a game and in life, finding out respite in the comfort of strangers who'd never know our story and we'd never know theirs as for a brief moment we shared our rest at bonfires between the roughest of times before some of our greatest triumphs. So, fractured and feeble - ordinary people - how about a little more jolly cooperation in the shadows of gods, lands long forgotten, and at the ends of time? Till we meet again at a bonfire!

The music is so beautifully made, thank you Aviators, for bringing us such masterpieces.

    I've loved this since I heard it in Modern Mythology. It's such a fitting song for Dark Souls' characters, the player's or the non-playable. Most of the characters have some sort of hope and driving force, and want companionship in the harsh world. Most of them don't have lofty self-ambitions. They just want to set the world right. And you can even see the ripple effect of one's companionship. No matter where you are in the Souls universe, you can always count on there being a bright sun for you to praise. Thanks Solaire, for never giving up on us. Also, I love that very sneaky song reference. You know the one.

    This perfectly encompasses the feel of the Dark Souls world. Normal people risen from the dead by forces beyond control, living in a hopeless and doomed world. There's no possibility of a "good" ending, but a few determined individuals press on all the same. Sometimes, they find company in the meager light of the bonfire, and share a moment of something reminiscent of happiness.

    The end of a wonderful era, I loved all the soulsborne songs dearly and will continue to listen to the wonderful stories you weave in songs. Seeing as this is currently the final dark souls song you've made. Dont you dare go hollow traveller!

    This is only an end to the dark souls songs if the description isnt using dark souls as a term to refer to soulsborne in general, so theres still a chance for bloodborne, sekiro and elden ring songs. if that is the case then im looking forward to the ride!

    This is a song that brought genuine tears to my eyes. as one who has fought for something, for family, and my boyfriend, And made so, so many friends... the tested few that are still around aren't often so happy.. I think I'll share this with them. To remind them, that what we lost, what we gave up, for each other, was worthwhile. To make sure our families were safe, and smiling at home. Thank you. Thank you for making so many smiles, so many tears, sir. We look forward to next year, and hearing more! Until then, happy holidays, and be safe. And don't any of you dare go hollow on me.

    Truly an amazing end to the era of Dark Souls songs. Plethora of references I enjoyed listening in this song Bonfire "A Rest" like Fading Light, Angel of the Dark, Let there be Fire, Incandescent. I can go on but, certainly a treat for the Bonfire "A Rest" to deliver a distant, but happy feeling that there is hope somewhere in the long journey ahead. I'm looking forward to see what you have in store for 2023, especially if your taking on more of your Bleeding Sun saga stories in song.

    Take a moment. Rest. Ask the questions that you've been putting off. Is the path you're on truly yours? What are you reaching for? How are you, really? Now breathe. Breathe again. You dont need to know the answers yet, but you do need to walk the road towards them. Thanks Aviators for the peace this song brings. Don't any of you dare go hollow, you're far too strong for that.

    Thank you for everything, Aviators. This song brings out a lot of positive nostalgic emotions. I'm currently 18 years old, and I was in love with both the Dark Souls series and your content since i was around 13 or 14. Recently I've made a decision to quit videogames to pursue my own goals outside the virtual world, and this song symbolizes this decision so much. I'll be forever grateful for the fun I've had playing these games, but it is time to have a final sit at the bonfire and move on. All the best to you from one of the many nameless undead that are out there.

    I imagine the various Soulsborne protags all being drawn together by the familiar lights, coalescing in this forest. The Tarnished bringing some raw crab to boil, the Hunter and Sekiro playing music, the Ashen One and the Chosen Undead sharing stories of their exploits, the Cursebearer just glad they aren't the only one caught in a power struggle. All of them, singing this song together around the light, and forgetting about their struggles for a while. Sharing in their little moments of happiness. Because that's really all we can do, before we push on. Happy Holidays, everybody. Cheers, and cherish those around you.

    got damn aviators has come so far and just become more and more powerful with each song they put out. I remember finding them through the old mlp music 10 years ago and they've been a constant inspiration to improve skills with singing and music. This song is such a beautiful piece on it's own and having singing and practicing using most of these older songs that were referenced just makes it so much better, happy holidays and good luck to everyone going into this new year.

    This is a beautiful song. I recently had the last session of a D&D campaign that started before the pandemic and I'm still not quite over it. This reignited every strong feeling I had over the years of that game. I'm not ashamed to say, this song and those feelings it brought up made me have a happy cry. Thank you.

    ... I opened this up and immediatly went "If you make me cry again imma be angry" I then hear references both to the game, AND their previous songs and just... The song is great. Thats all I can say. It perfectly encompasses one of the most friendly communities i've ever seen, in a way that i've only ever seen Aviators pull off. Kudos.
