Tale Of The Tongues ~ Skyrim (Vocal and Guitar cover)

Saskia Kusrahadianti arranges for vocals and guitar "Tale of the tongues" from TES V Skyrim~

((PLEASE listen with headphones))

Okay, so this is completely different from the original song sang by the bards in the game—I know—But I just wanted to make it my own... in a way! :D

The way I recorded this was also different—I left the vocals part to record last so it could be sung live.
I recorded the guitars first—there are three layers of guitar—then sang the vocals in front of a camera
The guitars are mostly improvised and I play as I see fit =]
I am a bit out of time here =/ so sorry for the minor mistakes =/

Okay, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did arranging and singing the song!
And sorry for the weird facial expressions? I didn't know I looked that retarded whilst singing =/

If you want the guitar chords, just give me a buzz!

John (John129flip) has created a mod for this song-- Thank you a thousand times!

Lyrics:
Alduin's wings they did darken the sky
His roar fury's fire and his scales sharpened scythes
Men ran and they cowered and they fought and they died
They burned and they bled as they issued their cries

We need a savior to save us from Alduin's rage
Heroes on the field of this new war to wage
And if Alduin wins, men is gone from this world
Lost in the shadows of the black wings unfurled

But then came the Tongues on that terrible day
Steadfast as winter they entered the fray
And all heard the music of Alduin's doom
The sweet song of Skyrim, sky-shattering Thu'um

And so the Tongues freed us from Alduin's rage
Gave the gift of the Voice, ushered in a new age
If Alduin's eternal then eternity's done
For his story is over and the dragons are gone..

May I ask where you are from? Are you from Europe? Your name seems Russian, but I don't know many Russian names, so I'm just speculating here :)

One more thing: if I might decide to... use your song in a video, post it on youtube, and give all credit of the song to you, do I have permission to do so? Please? You don't have to, if you don't want to though.

Great song! I've listened to it six times now! :D

I'll be honest, I clicked the link expecting to find another crappy cover of a Skyrim song. This, though, gave me goosebumps. Simply breathtaking.

Liked and added to favorites. You're awesome.

...I wonder how it'd sound if you could use the Thu'um :D

[Cerenaphor]

THIS is what Tale of the Tongues should sound like, your voice is beautiful, and hearing this with music sends chills down my spine

Please just chill the hell out and sing, you're gesturing and singing to the camera way too much and it's distracting.
