Stormcloaks? Must have been the wind. Dragons? Probably just my imagination. For the Skyrim Guard, life is easy as a stolen sweetroll... even if you take an arrow in the knee.
This animated music video took a lot of time to draw, and this heartfelt rock ballad itself predated It Just Works. But now it's finally time to share our The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim meme song with you, seasoned Dovahkiins.

The Wind just Works
It just does
It just works, it just works!
if they continue the bethesda trend then that would be crazy
It just works in this overpriced open world
But knee don't.
This guy is the embodyment of the phrase "Ignorance is bliss."
To be fair Alduin and basically every other major disaster in elder scrolls literally never becomes a problem until you seek them out.
This is what happens when you fail every perception check.
He stopped a war by doing nothing. A true hero
This guy is the embodiement of "I don't get paid enough for this" you mean.
No no no, he's very conscious of the assassin called "The Wind". It's said that he has maxed out his sneak, and that his arrows can silently kneecap you from miles away. If you felt it but you can't see who did it, it must've been The Wind, and you might as well resign yourself to your fate for you are already dead.

The fact Skyrim is still "4M views on parody song" popular after 13 years is insane. Love it, but absolutely bonkers.
The song's a damn bop so I would not be surprised if a significant number of those views were not directly dependent of skyrim (I count for a bunch of those, having never played skyrim).
After all the chalkeaters have pulled a combined 24 million views of Bowsette across all three MVs, and Furrymon is at 9.5 between the MV and the album version.
Although I guess the starting point could also be playing *against* it, I assume that's why Rise Guys is so criminally underrated.
Wait Skyrim is 13 years old? WTF

@@PlesnivejSejra the weird thing about pacifism as an ideology is that it would work perfectly, if everyone was a pacifist. one country abolishing its entire military would be stupid and would lead to a total collapse, but the entire planet giving up its weapon wouldnt impact society negatively at all, and would
only protect lives.
@@veryoriginalname2515you can be pacifist with an army just in case that youre neighbor will not.
@@veryoriginalname2515 I feel the 'you have no enemies' is less straight up pacifism and more to let go of grudges as life too short for that.

@@Insanity_TMI don't see the Maid! Where is that?
I love how over a decade after its release Skyrim is still getting songs and memes made about it. Shows how good of a game it truly is even with all the bugs.😊
No bugs. “Features”.
I don't know what you're talking about, it just released last week
And by extension Oblivion npc memes and Morrowind Dagoth Ur commentary lol
I do genuinely believe you could stop at least one major medieval battle if you just went back in time with a full concert setup, grabbed a rock band and grabbed some local bards.
If free beer was included
"BURN THE WITCHES!"
If breaking out into an epic rock song doesn't solve all your worlds problems, your Bard level isn't high enough.
What if there was a bard whose ultimate goal was to write a song so great that it ended wars and brought
Peace to the world?

That one guard is better at bringing peace to Skyrim than a dragonborn spamming the harmony spell.

All I know is for this to happen we need about Three fiddy.
Ah yes, Skyrim, the only game where you can convince people everything is okay despite having 5 arrows lodged in their groin so long as your sneak skill is high enough.
Props to this guard for gaslighting the entirety of Whiterun, the whole Imperial Legion and Stormcloak rebellion, and several dragons into getting along peacefully. "It must have been the wind," indeed.
😊
*gaslamping
Yeah, cause no other game with stealth mechanics, would have the NPC's just forget about you after a while.
@@baddragon7057I know what you are.
The positive energy from this man is too much.
He watches all his friends fight in war, but simply sings, a poetic master.
This man is the True Master of The Way of the Voice. So great was he, that even the dragons respected him and shared in his wisdom as they shout to the heavens.
Speech just reached one hundred
"The winds will pass, The kings will fall, We should stay strong cause life goes on!"
Actual Fire
It had no right to be this fucking fire.
"I have no enemies," energy, but it slaps!
i heard a similar line of dialogue from a
i think its like falkreath or sum? its in the bottom of the map i think, don't remember which specifically
Winds will pass: Morrowind
Kings will fall: Oblivion
The rest: Skyrm (I cant spell 😂)
you can see this line in it just works as the description for the sweet roll found in the "rly useful treasure" chest despite that song came out 4 YEARS AGO
How can this group make such perfect blends of meme lyrics and actually amazing music?
That's what happens when someone does passion project
It just works

I'm more impressed that they resisted making a reference to THE meme (you know which one).
@@CharginChuck?
Every time I hear this song makes me want to play Skyrim again
Same
I saw this and now am playing Skyrim and I just checked the clock I have been playing for 7 hours and 30 minutes
@@deadinside9696same, i bought skyrim 4 days ago and i cant stop playing it
Crazy how much storytelling this 4 minute and 18 seconds parody song has in it.
Actually makes me kinda want a small series centred around a normal guard living in Skyrim, maybe had dreams of becoming a bard?
This is so wholesome for some reason, kinda shares a "dont worry, be Happy" type of message
I mean the whole song is about how it doesn't matter what problem comes you have to endure it and overcome it because after all you are going to still be there
Their befriending their enemies, and making peace by chilling and singing together. It just is very wholesome.
"Don't worry, Be Happy" was actually meant to be sarcastic.
@@EbuCallinav which is exactly what this song is about to. Denial. Which the original commenter seems to suffer from as do most people in the comment section.
@@Mechazoid5116 to me, the song seems not about denial, but optimism no matter what
he's aware that whiterun is on fire, he's aware that there's stormcloaks marching on whiterun, but he chooses to be happy and continue to say it must have been the wind
it's not quite denial, but moreso seems like refusal to just let it be bad, sure he's acting like there's no stormcloaks or dragons, but despite everything around him, him being cold, all this, he just decides to live blissfully without acknowledging all these horrible things, coldly putting it as "denial" seems like a very pessimistic view on the song, but putting it as "willful blissful ignorance" or that he's gonna be happy no matter what seems like the vibe they were going for
It´s Crazy how you guys can take simple Phrases like "it must have been the Wind", "he cant count to three" or "it just works" and make damn near Masterpieces with it. Big Kudos big respect
You'd probably like "around the world"
Don't forget "AMOGUS"
Can't gloss over furrymon though
He must be blessed with a Muse.
Now they just need to learn not to copyright strike every person who uses 2 nanoseconds of their song as background footage and they will be good
This is objectively a good song. High praise, and well done, good sir.
objectively? i deal with lots of music and i find this unhatable. *ESPECIALLY* if you have played skyrim before.
When you are so oblivious that everyone just goes with it
A meme song about naive optimism and blissful ignorance has no right to be anywhere near this good. This is absolutely mind-blowing, hence why it's on the "Ned's Mind Blowers" playlist now. It's also nice to know that even dragons can appreciate this thing.
Except it’s not REALLY about nieve optimism… sometimes, life is so bad the only way to cope is to choose happiness, even if you don’t have a good reason… many WWII soldiers and POWs had this same mindset. (Sorry, probably too dark for this video. 😅)
@@BlackGryph0nI mean there is a reason songs like "We'll Meet Again," were popular during the period. The only way is to keep moving, even with very little to stand for.
@@BlackGryph0nж
@@yaninaserebro1271 это "ж" неспроста
@@BlackGryph0n That’s a mindset I hope to one day have about life, to be able to choose happiness even if I might not feel like I should. To mourn, remember, and still be happy. Can’t wait to see your next collab with chalkeaters!
I like how this takes a line of total ignorance and turns it into something closer to moving on and not letting anything get to you. Less "I do not see it" and more "It does not matter to me"
Ive always seen it less as “total ignorance” and more so “knows better than to make a racket about it”

Well, it's a music video. They do know about music.
You can't imagine the cost of this actually being implemented in the final video considering all the struggles in the vusial production team in course of YEARS. One certain (main) guitarist put an end to ignorance to accuracy in terms of musical instruments in the video. I feel deep love to the animators who agreed to redoing it all for many times and making it so detailed at the end of the day. The video with its history indeed. Thanks for noticing
this has so much 2000's anime opening vibe

This is FANTASTIC! A masterpiece, truly. The song itself, and especially the animation.
I don't know how you guys do it. Your songs manage to get stuck in my head for days on end whenever I listen to them. They are great, but man are they also the most persistent earworms ever written. Especially the ones you'd rather not be singing in a public place! But mostly this one.
I can just imagine how brilliant a "Chalkeaters: Best Of" concert with this being one of the main performances. Dress code: Skyrim Guard.
Must of been the wind
I like this song because it's not just a meme, he's aware of all the things happening around him, but he simply chooses how it affects him, since he can't change it. It's a good song about not worrying, which nowadays is a welcome sight

This had no business continuously increasing in epicness throughout the entire song with how silly the concept was, and yet it just kept going harder and harder non-stop (absolute genius whoever thought to use the Skyforge as a stage), like is there anything you guys *can't* do???
Also Paimon coming out of nowhere actually made me spit out my drink, if that's a teaser for the next song then I'm already eagerly awaiting your next release.
The Paimon jumpscare is real
If the next song is not called "emergency rations" then we riot
Gayshit simpact
My guess is that it’ll have themes about addiction. The doctor giving a warning to Prof. Chalk about addictive games, Paimon holding a pill bottle that says dailies, the nature of all gacha games, etc.
Another guess is it’ll also be more about the memes and stigmas surrounding the game and its genre rather than the world of Teyvat and its characters.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a sponsored project since Fontaine’s coming out really soon as well.
Edit: I went back and watched the Amogus song again and this GI song is either farther along in production than we might think, or some people on the team are Genshin fans, as Klee does make an appearance in that music video. This only has me more excited.
Truly, nothing was more bone-chilling than Paimon showing up.
I never would have thought I'd see such a perfect song for skyrim till I saw Tobuscus's literal skyrim trailer... but this... *THIS* takes a whole new spot in my heart for such an amazing song about skyrim.
Now we just need a Skyrim Anime and all would be perfect this would be an amazing theme song for it.
having actual dragons as back up dancer must be legendary!
"The winds will pass
The kings will fall
We should stay strong
'Cause life goes on"
I got teary-eyed at how brilliant and relatable it is. For me this is a song clearly about the attitude to war and (if you will) to other horrors of life. Right now, something terrible is happening in the world because of crazy people. However, this song proves that everything will be fine in the end.
Goddamn... I don't know if that was intent behind that song but I like that interpretation. My literature teacher would be proud of you :P
This comment deserves a pin
We'll stand together and get through it!
@@HespersQuest Amen to that!
I'm not a believer in fate, but I AM a believer in optimism! If for no other reason than that hopelessness is miserable. Stay brave a strong, friends! ^.^
That kind of blind optimism is how bad things actually happen.
It is better to assume the worst and prepare for it than to never prepare and assume everything will be alright.
Things are never alright in the end unless you see it, recognize it, and fight it. Assuming it is 'just the wind' and ignoring it is how you end up in worse case scenarios. The song is more like a naive person being blind to reality.
It is a good song, catchy, yet seeing it for how to relate to horrible things like war? You poor sweet summer child, you must not have faced true hell yet.
I cant stop watching this over and over and over and over lol.

As an Elder Scrolls Skyrim player and fan. This is awesome and I love how the guards of Whiterun are just there playing the guitar. I also love the sweet roll jokes. What a classic with the arrows or must of been the wind, saying. The song is a banger🤩🔥🤣🥳🎧
The Imperials and Stormcloaks getting along through this very unobservant guardsman is truly a beautiful thing.
They must defeat the Thalmor TOGETHER!!!
Weirdly from 2:20 to 2:44 is a really good message.
"Just let it go, no matter what happens stay strong because life goes on"
It's fascinating how frequently such little and not so important to song phrases in middle of a rhythmic cycle in various songs are actually very strong and good messages on their own.
His Mama is a real one for teaching him this ngl.
Guard:*watches his friend get murdered* must have been the wind
Who would of guessed the solution to both the civil war and dragon crisis was just good vibes and a smile
So that went from a complete meme to...
An unironically great song with an actual message behind the phrase, turning the dumb one-liner into an uplifting message of hope, brotherhood and holding up for better times that will eventually come
Wow, how in hell...?

You know it's more scary how there's more guards attacking you when you have a bounty of 20 than there are soldiers in the entire civil war quest
Civil war? I sleep
Man accidentally hit a chicken? Woke
Whats weirder is the ones that guard the holds are always a higher level than you so their pretty tough at higher difficulties, but in the CW they're like 10 levels lower than you.
@@Zenoferrum If you just make some basic gear you can wipe out the hold guards easily. when I was still level 10 I made armor that gave me 2 trillion hp and my damage was so high it was shown as a negative number.
@@jonathangriffith4863 i play on legendary and don't abuse the restoration loop. The guards at level 65 (my current run-through) have over 2000 hp and hit for around 50-150+hp depending on the weapon they have. Without mods, CC or exploits the guards are pretty tough.

Oh my word how have I not seen this sooner. Masterful in every way.
Всё же скайрим - великая игра. Столько уже искусства создано на основе этой игры, мемов и прочего. Отличный генератор идей.
The vibe this song gives off is that “bad things are always transient, and our anxieties make things seem much worse than they are. And we can always make things better.”
Even the war that scorches the land and turns brother against brother will pass. In the end, everything will pass- and so too will this storm.
If no soldier will take up arms, a war cannot be fought.
And so, the Civil War is ended- nothing more than a bad dream.
Simply your imagination.
The Dragonborn doing the Torture Dance was not something I ever expected to see but I am loving it
I saw air guitar.
@@anondabomb It's a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure reference
@@anondabomb Definitely not air guitar. The "Torture Dance" is a common meme from anime and manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, specifically the fifth part, named "Golden Wind".
It's a super specific (and strange) dance that three of the main characters do to pass the time while they're torturing an enemy, and it's been parodied a LOT. Those funky moves? Unmistakably part of the Torture Dance.
@@stonewoodstudiosNaH, that's air guitar.
@@anondabomb oh damn you're completely right. However could I have so foolishly missed such a thing?😂
Must've scared them off
This song makes me unbelievably happy every time.
I'd love to point out, that this man decided to just rock out during THE OBLIVION CRISIS. the gods were invading his home and he just burst into song, absolute king
An even more insane detail for the lore nerds out there is how the oblivion gates crisis happened two hundred years before skyrim
Let him cook
@@ScoutScoutScoutScoutScout And was a child at the foot of the Red Mountain apparently prior to the Blight, 600 years before _that._
a mod where a random guard starts this song and all combat just stops
what gods? it's just the wind bro
This song pierces my soul.
Much like an arrow pierces a knee.
Shut up and take my like
What arrow? Were you taking about that beeze eariler?
It was just the wind.
nah, probably just the wind tho
@@S_O_U_PSir you have 14 arrows in your head
i cannot even DESCRIBE how much i love this song for how much i've listened to it. Thank ya for the amazing stuff as always AND MOOOREE
Lyrics are magic, music is fire, animation is gorgeous and filled with cool references.
Absolute masterpiece, still somehow this makes me a bit melancholic.
All it took was a guard from Whiterun to end the civil war between the empire and the stormcloak by holding a concert open to all residents of Skyrim. Finally, a good ending to the quest.
Even the dragons liked the concert.
I never liked killing the stormcloaks
The real Bards College questline
Was it juat me or did the dragon born steal the young guards sweet roll
I'm pretty sure that's the entire point of the lyrics, players do random crap and NPCs feign ignorance 😂
I thought I just heard an amazing song right now, but it must have just been the wind
Yup, just the wind. Wait- What if the wind is actually the Greybeards using their Thu'um?
Why is every song these guys make such a masterpiece? Keep up the good work guys. :)
Objectively the best song I've heard this year. Incredible :o
Congrats!
I hadn't realized just how much I needed a definitive good ending to Skyrim in the form of a song. Well played Chalkeaters, well played.
Exactly how I felt listening to it as well. It almost feels like a sort of bitter sweet goodbye to the game. I’m sure ES 6 will be great when it finally releases, but nothing will recapture that magic of playing Skyrim for the first time as a young teen.
Dovahkiin maybe good at shouting, but this guard is a master of the way of the voice.
so true
Nice
Rlly
This comment may be very funny, but don’t let that distract you from the fact that Ulfric Stormcloak murdered the high king with his voice, shouted him apart!
What if someone who is a master of the shout uses it for a song such as this one?
Damn I don't know exactly why but this song almost made me cry. Maybe because these guards were finally able to say what they want after all these days of supporting a heavy weight on their heart. I don't know.
I love that Dragonborn design, especially when he was torture dancing. The emotive "metal brows" were also great.
It was pretty clever that he was doing the torture dance while locked in a jail cell.
I love how 3/4 into the song the Stormcloaks and Imperials make a temporary peace to join the song.
Ulfric and the Stormcloaks hold off the invasion of Solitude if you trigger the wedding from the Dark Brotherhood questline. He might not like the Empire, but he's not a partycrasher.
@@FamusJamus please tell me theres actual dialogue where ulfric is like "we're about to win this war and march on solitude, but we can't do that while there's a wedding going on i mean c'mon"
"Temporary"? I like to think this song ended the war.
@@glassphoenix9095 That is _really_ close to his actual line: "We're ready to march on Solitude but the Emperor's cousin is getting married!"
There's a clip called "Secret scene if there is a Wedding going on during the Battle for Solitude in Skyrim" by TIMENG which has the full thing.
Bro I've listened to this 30 times today and it's not old yet i even got it on Spotify to listen to while playing Skyrim it's just so good i love it
We can't make songs based off every line in skyrim especially the guards
