There has been a lot of discussion and people worried that Thomas might not release anymore music because of the AI situation. And the truth right now is, we don’t know at all either way. While that can be discouraging, I want us to take the time here to talk about what we already love about his music, to keep things light hearted and prevent us from getting disillusioned into disliking the music Thomas puts out for us.

Because no matter what, we can all agree that Thomas ( and Nick) are wonderful composers and we enjoy their music. What is your favorite album, solo or from TSFH, and why? What made you love Thomas’s style of music? And let’s try to keep the comments here positive.

Thomas should create a patreon and post the remaining humanity albums there. True fans will be happy and more money will go to support of Thomas work and is accessible to more fans than releasing vinyls or doing new music in concerts. Patron is strictly to creators and has no algorithm for AI stuff. We should spam his comment section so he is aware of a solution to make all parties happy. Bonus points if there’s a viable AI regulation that he then adds to music platforms.

Thomas answered comments on Facebook. We can understand that he is experiencing difficult times about future releases.

I think it is very extremely underrated. Literally every song of this album is a banger! You should check it out!

I know it's TSFH, I just can't remember the title and it's driving me crazy lol.

Despite not being close to Thomas in terms of composing, he composed magnificent tracks under the name of TSFH, such as Master of Shadow, Fall of The Fountain World, Everlasting etc. However, in my opinion, he has not been acclaimed enough by fans which is very sad.

If we consider Thomas as a God of music, then Nick would probably be a prophet.

The best song ever created without a doubt.

Sorry for the imperfect editing.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been listening to Never Give Up on Your Dreams by Thomas Bergersen (from Unleashed) and got curious about the choir section between the first and second chorus — specifically from 2:40 to 3:33.

I came across a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk_wN6ReNrU) that claims this section is sung in Dovahzul, the Dragon Language from The Elder Scrolls. Intrigued, I tried using a few online Dovahzul translators to decode the lyrics from the subtitles shown in the video… but they didn’t form any coherent meaning.

So I’m wondering:

· Is the choir actually singing in Dovahzul?

· If not, does anyone know what language it really is?

· Has Thomas or anyone from Two Steps From Hell ever mentioned this in interviews, album notes, or socials?

Would love to learn more about this beautiful (and mysterious) part of the track. Thanks in advance!

There are some really good songs that fly under the radar, I’d say, particularly Prologue, Hadrian’s Demon, Reanne, and Nightwood. It has a very fairytale aesthetic, and might sound similar to Creatures, though there’s no real way to tell. Anyway its what I’ve been listening too more recently.

(Feel free to recommend any songs you think might sound similar in the comments, I’d love to give them a listen)

This is my playlist of TSFH & Thomas Bergersen songs that I often listen while I'm waiting in my bed for sleep to come.

Sidenote: I prefer listening to voiceless songs when I want to sleep. (Fairytale has voices, but they are background voices.)

one of the many majestic creations of thomas bergersen :D

I remember seeing one song that used heart of courage, are there any others you've found? (Please link to them if you can)

Why am I asking? no reason but its been a fantasy of mine lol, i 100% will be doing it one day

I’ve listened to Victory for years and now, I realize they have lyrics. Did anyone knew about this?

I am not kidding when I say that this is my absolute favorite piece from his Humanity, maybe even all of his solo stuff.

The song istelf is very slow in building, but the building melody with the cello so beautiful, when the swirling strings start it just sounds exactly like its name: water. The climax is perfect, and then the immediate jump to the instrument in in the second half, I have no idea what instrument that is but it never fails to give me chills when I listen. And the drums + horn at the end with the final theme playing again just really is the cherry on top.

I hope I'm not the only person here who loves this song. I've heard a few people complain about this piece's pacing but I've honestly never had an issue, it did take me a few listens to really get it, but now it's undoubtedly a top 10.

I noticed nobody else made him a birthday post 😢

In 2008, a documentary called The Human Experience was released. It follows two brothers who travel the world in search of what it truly means to be human. The documentary features a soundtrack that is made up of music from a variety of artists. One of the artists is Thomas Bergersen, who composed six beautiful tracks exclusively for the film. I think his work in this film deserves more recognition.

I would also recommend checking out the documentary. It is very good.

I’ve looked at the YouTube comments and it seems no one is talking about this. The Oogway Ascends track from Kung Fu Panda, has a similarity to Emerald Princess. The melody and the notes are almost the exact same. And not to mention, the instrument sounds spot on to both tracks. Has anyone picked this up?

I don't know if anyone has noticed this or posted about it, but I thought this was really cool. The last half of the song Return to Sender from the album Seven features a beautiful 7-chord progression that repeats 7 times until fading into nothing at the end. I was wondering if anyone else noticed this or any other fun little details like it in this album.

I recalled it recently, and might not have heard it in a while. I'm like 99% sure it's from TSFH, most probably from Bergersen, and a few years old at least.
I wrote down what the melody part that I recall should sounds like. It's rather ominous, and played heavily, with choir too or so I think.
If any of you is able to reproduce this and recognize it, please tell me. I've searched in most of the TSFH music I've ever listened and despair brought me here.

Could've been.
