AGE OF THE DRAGON - by Miracle Of Sound OFFICIAL VIDEO

[thexenobunny]

Its a fun song, but my honest critique is that I hate the chorus. The chorus kills the momentum of every verse and I for a few brief seconds every time, I wonder why I'm listening. The verses are great.

[ARavingLooony]

im sorry but hero and hawke shouldnt be together

[TheThaddeusGriffin]

@ARavingLooony Went from poverty to a champion of Kirkwall, stopped a Quinari invasion almost single handed, stopped a psychopath murderer, severed a bond between one of his closest friends and a demon, and saved millions of lives by intervening when a war broke out between the templars and mages in Kirkwall. Say what you want about DA 2, but Hawke was definitely a hero.

[KainLupus13]

Why no Origins song?!

[halofail999]

the trailer looks epic, but the gameplay looks crapy

[Veit1991]

It the "Spirit of the Hawke"! Get it? :D

[ArTiiCL4NDM1N3]

this song made me buy DA2

[Ryuken1106]

As much as I didn't like the overall game, I loved the characters. Except Anders. Awakening Anders was way cooler. (And Varric is made of win)

[4TheOneWithOutAName]

@Ryuken1106

For me, Fenris was my worst companion...

Anders had multiple templars hating him, Fenris had this only two mages! and in this small minority!!! Though Anders in Awakening was better, though I liked his DA2 voice... since Awakening voice was the same as Cullen's and Cullen was made first!

[Vortex289]

Holy shit. This is really good.

[ShinEimin]

I dunno why people hate DA2, I really enjoyed both Origin and DA2, they could've had more dungeon variations though :)

[ArchlordGlass]

almost forgot to listen to this today.

[MAXXPAULL]

the graphism of this game is totally fucked up! Good video anyway

[mralle28]

this is the best song by miracle of sound

[FGRaptor]

I hate DA2, but this song is fucking epic.

[LeaderMaryvids]

@FGRaptor

[IrishMinja]

@FGRaptor =(

[Lazerkat789]

i jsut love how you get you're voice to sound in this

[TheDkMovie]

@Lazerkat789 your*

[1Howl3d]

This song helped me power through a six hour paper work spree, in other words, I love it.

[MindOFMegan]

I've been replaying this song for the past hour or so. Great game <3 But I still like DA:O better.

[brM0NST3R]

only 39k veiws?!?!?!

[LawnickiProduction]

what gane>



[paulatredies]

Really appreciate having these on youtube. Was getting bothersome having the extra effort on escapist too go between the songs, especially whilst in the middle of the ME3 multiplayer demo.

Just having convenient access too these spectacular songs may even be enough for me to finally get a cheap ipod.....maybe.

[unifire3]

I have watched this way too many times.

[AuthanAndPhoritus]

I played both games and I am a big fan of DA.So i can say DA2 is good game but DA:O was better.

[FNPhenomenal]

I have no idea why people hate on DA2 i loved that game...

[RetardedSunshine1]

Hawke: How did you do that?

Sandal: Not enchantment!

[scatman123456]

the game was decent at best, but you have to admit, hawk was a damn good character

[BiowareKaiserGirl]

This is awesome!



[CRAnoobCRA]

literaly one of the most beast songs ive ever heard

[Haerdalas]

0:54 is that a laser rifle on his back?

[ArTiiCL4NDM1N3]

@Haerdalas crossbow i think

[FightkingSNF]

I love your Hawke, He looks like (and I mean this in a good way) a crazy hobo :)

[sullyandfriends]

how do you reccord all the instruments, do you have a reccording studio?

[robinquinn2006]

What cutscene is that fight from?

[mangahawk92]

@robinquinn2006 It's from trailer released before the game came out. Not in-game cutscene.

[crazy4krum]

I LOVE DA:O but I also loved DA2. And this song kicks fucking ass!

[TheXand19]

@crazy4krum Agreed!

[NewHorizons19]

BUT WAIT! DON'T HIT THE SKIP BUTTON!

Fuck you, Fred, I skipped the shit out of that.

[ArTiiCL4NDM1N3]

Game?

[emilons97]

@ArTiiCL4NDM1N3 DA2

[ArTiiCL4NDM1N3]

@emilons97 thanks :D

[Naazall]

Fight for your values and fight for your friends, fight through this blight find the light at the end, through the age of the dragon the people will talk of the day they will save by a hero named Hawke... I just can't get it out of my head...

[PsychoPsymon99]

If Mage Hawke can beat the arishok than imagine what the warrior Hawke could do.

[Limrasson]

@PsychoPsymon99

Actually...I played as a warrior with two-handed and tried to beat the Arishok without using potions. It was nigh impossible. Then I reloaded the game to change a few skills to be able to drain life, and changed the potion rule to "only as many potions as the Arishok takes". Took a lot of dancing and in the end he had like 0 health, but so did I and he stabbed me with his sword, lifted over his head, he died of DoT while I was dying from bleed and we crumbled.

[LordDeathis]

@PsychoPsymon99 are you saying mages are weak.. Huh

[PsychoPsymon99]

@LordDeathis not at all. I myself play as a mage and it's my favorite class.

[todeath12]

the game wasnt as good as the first but the song has made it better

[IdiotsOnCam]

'fight for your values and fight for your friends' - words i now live my life by :)

[LordMarshall1008]

This song reminds me of "hero they called Jayne" from Serenity :P

[Queenychi179]

Regardless of how one feels about Dragon Age 2, I do think this is one of your best songs.

[LeaderMaryvids]

i listen to this 10 times a day

[threeitalianplumbers]

3:40 <----- honk. Honk. Honk.

[MrMunchies64]

DA:2 wasn't a bad game, it just didn't live up to DA:O which was quite frankly, a masterpiece.

DA:2 - for UI, GUI, Armour models and Combat animations.

DA:O - for Everything else

[MKbaddog]

Origins stomped 2s ass so hard, then this actually revived it

[cooldude7901]

you just made DA2 look good....bravo!

[Lazerkat789]

the best part in my opinion is the part you you say "fight for your values and fight for youre friends, fight through this blight find the light at the end." It brings so much more meaning then just lyrics in this awesome song lovaaskiin :D

[TheDkMovie]

@Lazerkat789 your* than*

[MrHaloboy1997]

ha the guys just standing there scratching his but

[Skypatter]

This is definitely better than any commercial i saw

[alhimal]

...Named HULK!

[R4nD0mus3rNam3]

i think DA:2 is nowhere near awesomeness of DA:O ... but this song actually makes DA 2 sound like a good game

[demonreaver1479]

@R4nD0mus3rNam3 ikr

[DaSuicideKing]

@R4nD0mus3rNam3 DA:2 was a great game, they need to fix alot with it tho.

[54321HUY]

@R4nD0mus3rNam3

Agree. But about Dragon Age Origins there is a great song too - Dream Evil - The Cosen Ones.

[54321HUY]

@54321HUY

*Chosen

[R4nD0mus3rNam3]

@54321HUY ok, i'll check it out

[R4nD0mus3rNam3]

@R4nD0mus3rNam3 HOLLY SH!T im second top coment... look momy i'm famous on the interneteez XD

[TheAcelane]

@R4nD0mus3rNam3 On its own, its a good game, but compared to DA its not a good sequel.

[sloume]

@R4nD0mus3rNam3 boo agrees

[afterlifeavenger]

@R4nD0mus3rNam3 It's a good game. It's just not on par with what a sequel should be. If anything, it seemed more like a filler game than a sequel.

[Johannesnt]

@R4nD0mus3rNam3 It bugs the hell out of me, that whenever I listen to this song I feel like playing DA:2, then I fire it up and remember: Oh wait, I don't like the game.:P

[raisinghell619]

@R4nD0mus3rNam3 The problem here is that your comparing the two together. When I first beat DA2, I admit I thought it was nowhere near asd good as DA:O either. However after playing it again, not compairing them, I still had lots of fun. DA2 is still a great game. the problem like I have said is when you compare them, DA2 feels half-assed or incomplete. I still pop the game in and play it from time to time, just not as much as DA:O which imo was GOTY 2009

[0DanteMayCry0]

@R4nD0mus3rNam3 DA:2 has better cinematics and very nice fight animation. That all.

[0DanteMayCry0]

@0DanteMayCry0 And harismatic hero :o

[allblue88]

@R4nD0mus3rNam3 so, even if we don't compare da 2 to da:o, you'd still say its not worth buying?

[R4nD0mus3rNam3]

@allblue88 i would say I wont buy it, but thats just my opinion, i just think that DA 2 is just so empty, the only good characters are varric and the arishok.... then again, thats just my opinion

[thexenobunny]

@allblue88 DA2 was made in 4 mounths. DAO was made over the chorse of 10 years.

[HutchsNova]

digg man imma have to replay this game

[Lazerkat789]

to bad gameinformer made this one of there top ten game disapointments, i actualy thought it wasn't that bad

[LeaderMaryvids]

i listen to this song 10 times a day

[LeaderMaryvids]

i listen to this song 10 times a day

[glossydawn23]

The world was saved by a MONSTER hero named Hulk.

[xHigherxNowx]

am i the only one who is turned on by this

[HalfWereHaiti]

@xHigherxNowx no

[xHigherxNowx]

@HalfWereHaiti ok ill just go cry in the corner

[shinikarasu]

you need to do one about origins :)

[JMSLionheart]

@shinikarasu Origins was about a Grey Warden, the "Hero of Ferelden", not someone called Hawke (the "Champion of Kirkwall").

I suppose that makes the difference. I mean Origins was a more expansive and much more epic game.

In my opinion, only a female voice like Aubrey Ashburn is appropiate for that game (and that's the same Inon Zur thought, considering she covers some of the songs).

[jack28925]

Can someone please enlighten me as to why the Archdemons face was burning?

[DreamerEternal]

@jack28925 It is the ARCHdemon, not everyone can pull the "burning face" successfully^^

[pg40987]

when could u make one song about the hero of ferelden? DAO is a better game. However, u are brilliant!

[TalsetDemon]

And this is why I play a rogue, my first play through of DA was "F*ck humans, now the Danish shall gain what is theirs" Party dies? No big deal me, bear, wolf, or spider got this. DA2 wasn't as epic as that but it was pretty awesome. The moral of this story? Back stab everything you fight.

[DrB3E]

Totally need a song about Sandal, the songs name should be "Enchantment"

[TalsetDemon]

@DrB3E

MC: Sandal, how did you get here?

Sandal: Enchantment!

MC: Your surrounded by bodies what happened?

Sandal: Enchantment!

Moral: Don't fuck with Sandal and his enchantments

[emilons97]

@TalsetDemon plot-twist: Sandal can enchant ANYTHING... this makes him able to be like Fenris... just alot more powerful... BIOWARE... MAKE IT HAPPEN....

[afterlifeavenger]

@TalsetDemon That's why Sandal isn't in your party. He would make the game WAAY too easy.

[TheDkMovie]

@TalsetDemon you're*

[emilons97]

3:26 Blood Magic... nuff said!

[keinve2]

Dragon Age 2; Unreliable Narrator tells about Memetic Badass.

[Ender4571]

This song is so much better than the game...

[nekem89]

Would you allow me to chose this song as the theme song of a character of mine with dragon blood in his veins?

[dylan112358]

just curios, what game will you do next?

[jjdtrade]

Dude your music is amazing, you need better commercial as not too many ppl know that you exist.

Keep up the good work. :)

[Raketka29]

Killed "replay" button :(

[CrazyPolishHead]

Good song, bad game.

[theraynor1995]

@CrazyPolishHead yup, but in the game, Merril reminds me of Tali somehow, agree?

[dragonkingofthestars]

1:28 Gak! Geth!

[theraynor1995]

@dragonkingofthestars no, they are wraiths, but I see your point, flashy eyes ^^

[stefan3300]

Way to little views!!

[ImMrJet]

I killed the Arishok.....Am i a legend?

[TheVanilleFan]

@ImMrJet yesh!

[Mohanned40]

For some reason, I almost always tear up at the chorus...

[narutofan321211]

what game is this?

[Lazerkat789]

@narutofan321211

Dragon age II although i wouldnt play it unless youve beaten both dragon age origins and awakening

[narutofan321211]

@Lazerkat789 thanx and i have completed the first one

[TheVanilleFan]

this is epic !!

[TheGALLGALL]

Ever think about becoming a Bard?

[Vorges32]

I am so imagining Varric actually singing this in front of Cassandra.

[Lazerkat789]

funny thing is you never have the dragon armor when you fight the arishok in the game

[PeachBlossomGirl90]

I'm just listening to this over and over again, really captures the atmosphere of Dragon Age 2. Awesome.

[Lazerkat789]

Thats a song worthy of dragon age II

[MrNoobHere]

@miracleofsound

Are you a professional singer/songwriter? This is damn good and I'd sure buy your album :O

[mujuma]

@MrNoobHere he's better than the majority of musicians today.



[wafflelikerboyremade]

thumbs up if you think this should've been a trailer for the game!!!

[wafflelikerboyremade]

thumbs up if you think this should have been an official trailer for the game!!!

[ryntavzadnik]

@TigerMilitia is this info confirmed? I hope both the Warden and Hawke will be playable

[demonjack123]

Can you do a song about the dragon born from skyrim?

[demonmann]

we must bow before this musical god!

[TigerMilitia]

DA3 a mix between detail of DA:O and combat of DA2 with refined graphics. Set in Orlais.

[duckmovies1]

@TigerMilitia do you play as hawke?

[Deliphin11]

You could make a video game trailer and it'd up the game's sales by 5000% lol.

[demonreaver1479]

@Deliphin11 true dat

[Deliphin11]

@demonreaver1479 wait, 30 thumbs? I didnt expect that many.

[TheHal9k]

@imadefrumpy

blood magic, by bleeding themselves they can use the power in their blood. If I remember right

[imadefrumpy]

Never got into DA, and watching this I was wondering what was happening with the people's skin going red and disintegrating and such?

[TheeSkuldthor]

Question for ya do people always call you gave? because people online call me it a lot :/

[davidfalloutbandit]

i hated that game......

[Lionellaflare]

This will always be my favorite song of yours.

[shadowstriike]

LOL At Sandal being the greatest danger ever. XD

[MrHLGNinja]

I Got Goose Bumps...

[ImperialisVideos]

is it wrong that I made my Skyrim character look like Hawke?

[YorkGod1]

this bloke has a good voice wonder what other good songs he's got!

[scotiej]

@YorkGod1 a lot of great ones actually, check his website out. planning on buying some pretty soon myself.

[TheMetalCrusade]

I didn't like the game, but the song is great.

[Mool1295]

Hey Gav, any plans to make a Skyrim song?

[jamister91]

Good song, wish you could have made it about the first one though haha.

[TheDkMovie]

... Named Hawke!

[MrTubbylad]

Better than the game

[Benidictusify]

WHY DOES HAWKE LOOK SO STUPID

[GarrySUREjij]

How!?

[AngelofDeath2178]

This is my new favorite song, Great job dude! Ever last one of your songs is a complete masterpiece!

[thebeardlessman]

This game is not worthy of the epic song you composed for it...

Still, it did inspire me to go back and replay it. :P

I can't wait for you to make a song about Skyrim!

[shotgunmonky]

The cinematic he used though!

It's syncing was perfect, and of course it's just epic.

[Araclain]

Thank you SO much for posting this on YT (full song, anyways). The Escapist has a habit of murdering my computer and causing it to crash.

[2001rom]

one word : Wooow

[prylprylen]

This is the song that made me a fan. Keep doing what you do!

or else...

[kistuszek]

Age of the Dragon really rocks! I think you do best with the rpgs. Deus Ex - Black gold is epic! now Dragon Age... I hope Skyrim have a similar inspiration on you, sure as hell i looking forward what You will do next!!! :)

[vizendrix]

wait, you do this alone?

[wwegamer025]

@vizendrix Talk about a beast!

[miracleofsound]

@vizendrix yep

[DannyT994]

@miracleofsound Well, that explains the MIRACLE in your nickname. Great job man you'r makeing my day better.

[1973svp]

@miracleofsound you definitely deserve more views !

[Thisshitisfuckedup]

Gavin, I truly hope that one day I will be one of those hipster douchebags that say " Yeah, I knew Miracleofsound before he was famous," because you truly deserve to have everybody know your name.

[Roronoa2zoro]

Just curious... Has your views on the Escapist gone up any after you started posting your songs on youtube as well? 'Cause it just seems like there's a fair bit of people who didn't know about this already.

[miracleofsound]

@Roronoa2zoro Maybe a little bit... the Escapist vids get a tonne more views than my YT ones

[malkiize]

@miracleofsound a real shame that because this is great

[TheEpcwin]

Gav, your stuff is ALWAYS amazing I've been watching you scene Kevin promoted your stuff

[shaggy2124]

@miracleofsound lol somehow i figured you'd romance merrill. :P
