Your interpretation is actually really similar to the original plot for BG3. If you haven’t played the EA of BG3, originally the Emperor is a character name Daisy who will continue to flirt and seduce you during the dreaming sequence. They will also try to ask you to embrace the parasite. Turns out it is actually the Netherbrain seducing you to give up and the ending for it is you taking Daisy down by the river and stay with her forever

Leitmotif is the most powerful tool in video game music imo. Just look at The Elder Scrolls games, its all the same song at its core, but theyre so different. Same song, telling entirely different emotions and stories. Its powerful in every kind of media, but video games is where I truly noticed it. Another good example is the fire nation theme in ATLA as it relates to Zuko and his story.

@Alliebutt 8 ай бұрын

I love how you pointed out that it was a little 'scary' because that was intentional. Originally this song was heavily associated with the character we now know as The Guardian, but back in early access that character was seen as obviously more sinister and evil to the point where no one wanted to trust them right out of the gate. Rather than encouraging you to use the tadpole while protecting us the way The Guardian does, the last version was more of a seducer, wanting you to give in to the allure of the power that the tadpole could give you. It wasn't portrayed as a means to an end in order to beat the 'deity' that all the bad guys seem to follow, but more akin to a devil on your shoulder whispering in your ear as you went along to give in to the instinct of using the power for your own gain. The old version of The Guardian even wore seductive clothing just to hit the point home, it was obvious that they were trying to seduce you. That clothing is still left in one of the dreams with The Guardian, and is a left over from before they changed them to The Guardian and gave them a shiny armor to wear.

The original intent of "Down by the River" was that it was the Mindflayer parasite speaking to you, trying to convince you to relax and let it take over. It's trying to entice you to lie down by the river and let yourself be swept away. That's why the melody is worked into so many situations. The parasite's influence is always present.

The voice and song belongs to Daisy - an NPC that was cut from the game and changed to "the guardian" we have now. Remnants of this character, other than in the game files, are in the BG3 Artbook, notable for its pink dress. Bascially, Daisy was an entity taking shape as manifestation of your desires and there was cut content/ending where you could supposedly go down a blissful path of ignorance and romance with Daisy - in a pocket of happiness in your mind, while your body undergoes ceremorphosis. Hence the spookiness at the beginning/end, as well as the ending line. "Don't wake me up, Just leave me there dreaming" "The Power" is also in close relation with Daisy, if you decide to accept the allure of tadpole's powers. Both of those songs their themes are tightly connected with Daisy and the storyline that was waiting there to be explored.

@@sasha023iiii Exactly i think this concept was split between the emperor and the absolute. The first is about the temptation for power and control.

This song would play during the dream sequences in early access, when the tadpole would manifest itself in your dreams to seduce you into using the illithid powers. Its why its so dreamlike and has that sinister undertone. The seductress was thrown out and replaced with The Guardian character, who (Spoiler)does more or less the same minus the seduction part. At face value without any of the illithid plot, its also a song about the city of Baldur's Gate, which is quite famous in-universe and is quite literally 'down by the river'. That motif is carried throughout the game and is present in other tracks or big moments.
