Thank you all so much for making this song such a massive hit :) I can't begin to even describe the joy it brings me see all the love, enjoyment and appreciation in the comments & views. Ciri is such a strong, interesting & beautifully layered character who was inspiring to write about. I'm glad that message has come across in the song! A massive, joyous hug from me & Ailin to all of you Miracle Of Sound fans and Witcher fans. We fucking love you
+miracleofsound I've been following you for over 5 years now Gav and you are always releasing fantastic material. This song is one of my favourites, so much emotion in it. Keep rocking Gav and I hope we hear more of Ailin, she has a great voice.
People often cite Fred Astaire as one of the greatest dancers of all time, but they fail to realize that Ginger Rogers did everything he did, backwards and in high-heels.
hahaha so true shes a character made to perfection wonderful personality looks cute and is a badass and memorable in fact im gonna be getting a tattoo of her soon Ciri
The witcher series is one of those series where I start a new playthrough with the intention of trying other story paths but end up making the exact same choices I did my first time just to relive the experience
Wanna get some more quality Witcher? Watch the old Polish version of the Witcher series (my personal favourite). but be prepared, it´s low budget, it has different story. (just like the new series compared to books)
@@davidblair9877 Funfact: the Japanese Naginata was originally a sword (mostly Wakizashi, occasionally also a Tanto dagger) blade mounted on a pole and it was used by women as well. It was actually considered the most appropriate polearm for them (the other polearms on the battlefield were longer and heavier, plus a Naginata could allow even a weaker person to decapitate someone).
edi interesting. I did know of the naginata, although I wasn’t aware of its use by women. I was referring to the Scandinavian swordstaff: ruclips.net/video/-xIhCesfbYA/видео.html Think about what this could do to the big uglies...and as you observe, the added leverage probably makes it easier for a smallish person to handle.
I think the reason he has 2 million views and not a million subscribers is because people kept watching this over and over and over again. Like me. Who is listening to this for the 500th time😄
Well as of April 9, 2024 Miracle of Sound has 1.02 million subscribers. Hard to believe this Awesome song came out over 8 years ago. It probably has been a half year since I last listen to this song, need to remember to listen to more Miracle of Sound music.
"Wake the wolf with a distant roar, Strands of ash separated, To entwine on a misty shore, Troubled lives ever fated." That has to be my favorite stanza. :) The first line holds the crown for that though. Something about the sudden force and the note harmonization just gives me goosebumps every time.
The relationship between Geralt and Ciri is so beautiful. He love her so much!!! Beautiful, awesome and emotional. Thanks CD Project. You prove you make very fucking great job!!!
The did a really good fucking job. The frustration, of hearing or even seeing your daughter, yet never reaching her, and the final bit... I like near tragic/super intense events like that, though I get pissed when awesome characters die.
Relationship between them are much deeper and metaphysical in books. Probably for 4-5 games like Witcher 3. Their relationship isn't only as a adoptive father and daughter, but they are connected by fate (in my opinion the strongest power in Witcher uniwerse).
If you think about it, the witcher 3 was never about Geralt, because his hero’s journey was told in the books and the preceding games; Ciri was the Arthurian legend the ballad would remember, and you the player didn’t play as the traditional ‘chosen one’ character, but rather the person who influences and builds the girl into the legend.
We all know why we are here: The Lady of the Worlds is back, and to uphold the White Wolf's legacy. THE WITCHER IV IS COMING! Time for a new round of Gwent!
I just died. Twice. Then I created an alternate universe, filled it with unimaginable horrors, and fixed it into perfect paradise for all. Then, as soon as I got back, I realised Id forgotten to note the cure for cancer I had discovered. Shit.
This has got to be one of your best songs to date, and that really is saying something Gavin. Been around since the original 'New Black Gold' and seen you progress as an artist. It's truly something to behold. Your passion and enthusiasm for video games and music shine through, and I'm glad a lot of developers acknowledge your work.
I love the use of both the voices to both switch between Geralt and Ciri's perspective, and to harmonize, to show tghem working together. The bits of symbolism like that in the songs are part of why this channel is amazing.
Lyrics : I'm here again No place and everywhere Black bark and smouldering air My influence Another turn Another peace to shun Gauntlet of frost to run No difference Back and forth on the pendulum Swinging hard towards the outside Smash the walls of the clocks and run Overcoming the confines Time and space on the frailest veil Frozen cold in the static Bloody blades under hatred's sails Tearing out through the fabric The shimmer of white skies I spin to & fro A flicker of wild eyes Gifts I can't control The shimmer of white skies The legacy leashed in my cries Shall reign over bitter white skies I pay the debt Muse to another's song Heir to another's wrongs Unwanted crown Dance on the wind Through space and time I swirl The lady of the worlds Don't hold me down Back and forth on the pendulum Swinging hard towards the outside Smash the walls of the clocks and run Overcoming the confines Wake the wolf with a distant roar Strands of ash separated To entwine on a misty shore Troubled lives ever fated The shimmer of white skies I spin to & fro A flicker of wild eyes Gifts I can't control The shimmer of white skies The legacy leashed in my cries Shall reign over bitter white skies Weave these strands of ash Together Warm our hands on the embers of time The shimmer of white skies She spins to & fro A flicker of wild eyes She's losing control The shimmer of white skies I'm haunted at night by her cries Yeah I'm frozen cold... The shimmer of white skies I spin to & fro A flicker of wild eyes Gifts I can't control The shimmer of white skies The worth I no longer defy Shall reign over bitter white skies
This is by far the best performance by a female vocalist I've heard in a very, very long time. I've heard this song dozens of times, and it's goosebumps, close to tears, every time. Amazing, amazing voice and an awesome song. Indeed, a miracle of sound if there ever was one. I bow to you, master bard.
I just listened to this on Spotify, my initial thought was "Wow, Gavin's vocal range is quite impressive. Them female vocals!." I never said I was smart :P
Gavin, Thank you so much. Ciri and Geralt are two of my favorite characters of all time in fiction. I love them since many years, since my first time reading the books and playing the later games. You gave each of them a perfect musical tribute and it means a lot to me man. Seriously, you are amazing.
they may cannot into space, but bloody hell they can into badass. just look at the winged hussars or the witcher books (and games). Badass reincarnated.
I have been listening to this for three years. It’s just simply one of the best songs I have ever heard and it should be mainstream. I have showed this to people who don’t know the Witcher and even they like it! Legit one of my favourite songs ever! I am too addicted to it It genuinely is a piece of art 🖤 Edit: Now five years 😂
@@briarrosemoffat6379 then I'm sorry my friend, the most you'll achieve is being a hunter in White Orchid who helps a Witcher hunt a Griffin. Or a bard who lusts after Geralt and gets a "girlfriend" just so Geralt doesn't realise ;-)
God this game is so incredible! I have no idea how CDPR managed to produce this amount of hand crafted content, while delivering a compelling story with fantastic characters that you could enjoy at your own pace in a massive open world. In my opinion they really blew every other company out of the water with this one. My favorite game of all time by far! Edit: Thank you for this wonderful song Gavin! Amazing work as usual!
This is still the best song in your discography, with Sovngarde Song as a close second. Its lyrics are constantly shifting, even the chorus is always slightly different, and the way the music itself flows with the voice work is absolutely gorgeous.
Imagine if Ciri came to our world. She did allude to something like that when Geralt found her in that cabin. "People there had metal in their heads, waged war from a distance, using things similar to megascope. There were no horses, everyone had their own flying ship". Granted we don't have personal flyers yet. As if she came to a world similar to our own just slightly more advanced.
Naelar That would be awesome, maybe even a quest in which the player has to fight of the wild hunt to give her time to escape. Ah who are we kidding it's not gonna happen.
I can tell by the number of thumbs you got most people didnt understand the game. But... you are exactly right. The game is about found family. Everything that happens outside of this is really just fluff. Its trully the best rpg ive ever played and it will likely remain so for the rest of my life.
Thank you, man! I am proud to live with you and our Polish Comrades from the CD PROJECT RED in one epoch. Your songs are the best as well as their games. Greetings from Russia!
No words to explain how good this is. Captures the essence of the Witcher 3 so well. Watching this after playing the game is an over flow of emotion. Had to fight pretty hard to keep the manly tears back.
I can't help myself and I'm here, listening your songs again and again in a neverending loop! This channel is full of nerd-ish, beautifully and perfectly executed songs *_* As a fan of mostly all the fandom involved in your songs I'm ASTONISHED by your talent. Keep going! You're great, bro!
This has to be my favorite Miracle Of Sound song. Obviously because Ciri is the daughter I never had, but also because Ailin's voice is just so frickin amazing.
Damn, fighting as Ciri was one of the coolest things in Witcher 3. I wish there was a way to obtain that Teleport Spam skill for Geralt. Alas, that would make no sense lore-wise :P I wonder, did Gavin read the books? Ciri becomes even more interesting in the game when one knows what kind of character she was before.
Kazmistrz1993 I agree that the most fun I had in The Witcher 3 I had while fighting as Ciri. It wasn't as complex as Geralt's fighting, so it was the right call to limit the time of the sections, but the faster, lighter combat really appealed to me. Dodge roll is great, a staple of any character action game, but blink will always be more fun.
Kazmistrz1993 Ciri is amazing, from a princess to a witcher to a fisstech snorting lesbian bandit, to a slave, to a time and cross dimension traveler, pretty fucking badass. And you can't forget she was friends with unicorns and was supposed to be mother of wild hunt next king, who knows maybe if they would have viagra in this world she could have been Aen Elle queen.
Kazmistrz1993 I kind of hated that she sopped the white frost - for book-Ciri it was an integral part of her character arc that she decided she cared about her personal happiness more than her duties of birth, and so for her to stop the white frost undoes that arc.
aNerdNamedJames Honestly, I just pretend that the books and the games are separate entities. The games aren't bad, but there is the mild issue of their storyline blatantly contradicting the established stories. That being said, I wouldn't say that she cared about personal happiness more than her destiny - at the end, she almost seemed to accept it before asking for time. and considering that she can jump through time, it's potentially possible that she does eventually find the maturity and selflessness to come back and face fate.
Just finished playing all the witcher games. When this song first dropped I thought it sounded amazing. Now that I understand the characters and story, years later it hits different. It’s more impactful now
This is masterpiece I can't stop listening it.That female voice is fantastic ! We need more songs as a this I really hope I see her in Hearts of Stone. FANTASTIC JOB !
Pulsafrr uhm... Interesting question. He is one guy, doing all of this pretty much alone, maybe outside of the video editing. And if by pro you mean professional then, yes this is his profession. His job. Thats how he makes his living
Imagine another conjunction with the world ending evil on the rise. Ciri training herself with yeneffer and learning to control her powers over witcher 4 and 5. And then in 6th we see the true Goddess that we only drramed of so far...
Gavin, your talent is astonishing! Whenever I think "That's it - that's gotta be the best he'll ever do", you just keep raising the bar further! I was trying to figure out through the entire song, if it was Lorna singing. A shame there probably won't be anymore Elizabeth-themed songs, I always loved her part in the Bioshock-songs! But Ailin did fantastic as well on this - Ciris Song is going straight to repeat for me the next couple of weeks! :D
mormegil231 I hope so as well... God i just wished, and standalone Exp, just centered around her, loved her abilities, she was much more fast moveing with her teleporting, felt less defensive more fast, was just great. an Exp with her, would be worth my money many times over.
mikkelmv3991 Honestly, she is too amazing to give her too much screen time before it gets stale. The whole point of of her getting chased is becomes of the immense powers she wields and they give you a couple times the chance to try them out to show it's not just words. However if you make it too long, it will either get boring fast since you are a monster or they make it harder which lessens the whole idea of her being well...the most powerful being in the witcher universe.
I was listening to this song after a few years and I started to wonder about the line "wake the wolf with a distant roar". I obviously know about where the wolf is coming from but I was lost on the roar. But like 5 seconds later it hit me. Ciri is the Lion Cub of Cintra... geez I'm so thick sometimes 😂 Great song Gav 😊
The Reason why I Love Ciri so much. She wields the blood that is capable of manipulating Time and Space, She is thought by one of the, if not the best swordmaster in her world. She is literally a Goddess but despite all of this she just wants to feel happiness and freedom, but every time there is a catastrophe her heroic side surfaces and she ends up saving the world. Plus she has that sort of attitude which I find attractive.
I read the book as a small, waiting for the latest edition two years, nobody knows my pleasure, my dog he is 13 years old and his name is Regis !!! in Bohemia, Geralt of Rivea knew few people and now the whole world knows Geralt and Ciri, only to Regis much forgotten, and not to the message of Mr. Sapkowski !!!!!!! Czech had our little group wrote a letter to Poland to accelerate its master conclusion of the saga: -DDD over my joy is not !!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK !!!!!!!
+RedgraveGilver Worst things have happened in the Witcher. They just showed how it touched Ciri emotionally. Geralt does have emotion, or he just doesn't show it much. So the tragedy that happened to Skjall was emphasized through that.
Holy shit Gav. Please dont take any offense to your other music but this is easily one of your greatest songs. Keeps bringing me back after 6 years and its never gonna stop bringing me back. Pure art man. Hope all is well and keep up the great work
I can't get over how insanely good this song is. It is haunting me at night, and even at full day. I've literaly listened to it on repeat at the very least twenty times a day for three months before giving up my bad conscience and buying The Witcher 3, just because of you, Gavin ! I hope you're happy ! Well, I am. :)
My gosh, this song is wonderful! I didn't know you existed before yesterday and I think I must've listened to everything on your channel since then! You are an awesomely talented artist and work with some incredible people.
Now i'm sad because, i listened to all of your songs, and just when i listened to this one, it's like everything you made so far to get here was nothing, this is just perfect, don't know how to express it, and i am not saying you have no good songs, but compared to Lady Of Worlds, they can't even stand a chance.
Great work Gavin. If Dandelion ever goes missing again, we will contact you to be replacement bard. Thanks for the amazing song. Ciri would be proud.

+miracleofsound Do you fucking love us, or do you 'fucking' love us? Either way, we love you too Gav, keep up the amazing work!
You know what's really impressive about Ciri? She did all of that in heels.
The heels are just a way to even things out. Otherwise, it would be too easy for her.
You should see her on Ice skates. Absolutely terrifying.
they were more like extended riding boots.
People often cite Fred Astaire as one of the greatest dancers of all time, but they fail to realize that Ginger Rogers did everything he did, backwards and in high-heels.
hahaha so true shes a character made to perfection wonderful personality looks cute and is a badass and memorable in fact im gonna be getting a tattoo of her soon Ciri

I can never do anything differently because I care about the characters too much lol.

back at it again with the great music
"I’m haunted at night by her cries" is such a strong line. Especially if you read the books! Damn, this song is pure gold! Love it
XJevoX Geralt is indeed wracked by nightmares of Ciri's fate
The games - especially the 3rd - is a whole new experience after reading the books. It is just great.

Daniel Zamanski Well, it IS possible to learn to change your voice's assumed gender!
Not when you have a voice as manly as Gav's

"I'm haunted at night by her cries , yeah I'm frozen coooold" - that's when I felt chill ran down my spine...
Антон Гребенюк TBH “I’m frozen cold” broke the rhythm for me. Still a powerful song though.
Came here to pay my respects to our new protagonist. Cheers Ciri 🍻
This will go real hit again as witcher4 comes.

Lyrics :
I'm here again
No place and everywhere
Black bark and smouldering air
My influence
Another turn
Another peace to shun
Gauntlet of frost to run
No difference
Back and forth on the pendulum
Swinging hard towards the outside
Smash the walls of the clocks and run
Overcoming the confines
Time and space on the frailest veil
Frozen cold in the static
Bloody blades under hatred's sails
Tearing out through the fabric
The shimmer of white skies
I spin to & fro
A flicker of wild eyes
Gifts I can't control
The shimmer of white skies
The legacy leashed in my cries
Shall reign over bitter white skies
I pay the debt
Muse to another's song
Heir to another's wrongs
Unwanted crown
Dance on the wind
Through space and time I swirl
The lady of the worlds
Don't hold me down
Back and forth on the pendulum
Swinging hard towards the outside
Smash the walls of the clocks and run
Overcoming the confines
Wake the wolf with a distant roar
Strands of ash separated
To entwine on a misty shore
Troubled lives ever fated
The shimmer of white skies
I spin to & fro
A flicker of wild eyes
Gifts I can't control
The shimmer of white skies
The legacy leashed in my cries
Shall reign over bitter white skies
Weave these strands of ash
Together
Warm our hands on the embers of time
The shimmer of white skies
She spins to & fro
A flicker of wild eyes
She's losing control
The shimmer of white skies
I'm haunted at night by her cries
Yeah I'm frozen cold...
The shimmer of white skies
I spin to & fro
A flicker of wild eyes
Gifts I can't control
The shimmer of white skies
The worth I no longer defy
Shall reign over bitter white skies
I think it's impossible for Gavin to do a bad song. Every song he makes is fantastic, and the guest vocalist has a sublime voice. Bravo!
She, Ciri, is, as, the 'song title sings', "Lady of Worlds", and as they sing on, "The Shimmer of White Skies".
This is by far the best performance by a female vocalist I've heard in a very, very long time. I've heard this song dozens of times, and it's goosebumps, close to tears, every time.

Granted we don't have personal flyers yet. As if she came to a world similar to our own just slightly more advanced.
I could be wrong, but according to the books she has been to London.
How about a Ciri cameo in Cyberpunk 2077??
Naelar That would be awesome, maybe even a quest in which the player has to fight of the wild hunt to give her time to escape. Ah who are we kidding it's not gonna happen.
+Naelar I just realized something. Ciri is referencing Cyberpunk 2077 when she mentions the world she went to. CDPR, you brilliant buggers.
Caaros, The King of Chaos Holy shit, maybe it will happen.
when you realize the witcher is about found family
I can tell by the number of thumbs you got most people didnt understand the game. But... you are exactly right. The game is about found family. Everything that happens outside of this is really just fluff. Its trully the best rpg ive ever played and it will likely remain so for the rest of my life.
Lol i just replied to my reply. Ended up deleting my second comment.
*cocks gun*
Always has been.
Vin Diesel: did someone say family?😎
Don't tell dom
Thank you, man! I am proud to live with you and our Polish Comrades from the CD PROJECT RED in one epoch. Your songs are the best as well as their games. Greetings from Russia!
No words to explain how good this is. Captures the essence of the Witcher 3 so well. Watching this after playing the game is an over flow of emotion. Had to fight pretty hard to keep the manly tears back.
"I'm here again" Indeed you are ciri, ideed you are!
Every time i think "well thats the pinnacle of this mans talent"
Every time i am wrong.
Amazing work as always Gav, another one for the playlist :)
I can't help myself and I'm here, listening your songs again and again in a neverending loop! This channel is full of nerd-ish, beautifully and perfectly executed songs *_* As a fan of mostly all the fandom involved in your songs I'm ASTONISHED by your talent. Keep going! You're great, bro!
Another masterpiece.
Mercury Black were you expecting something else?
Lord Captain Nope.
As always
The lyric, music, scenes, everything....beautiful
This has to be my favorite Miracle Of Sound song. Obviously because Ciri is the daughter I never had, but also because Ailin's voice is just so frickin amazing.
That final battle against The Wild Hunt was seriously awesome.
Red project is incredible, but miracle of sound managed to embody all emotions i had during the game to an incredible piece of music perfection!
Damn, fighting as Ciri was one of the coolest things in Witcher 3. I wish there was a way to obtain that Teleport Spam skill for Geralt. Alas, that would make no sense lore-wise :P
I wonder, did Gavin read the books? Ciri becomes even more interesting in the game when one knows what kind of character she was before.
Kazmistrz1993 I agree that the most fun I had in The Witcher 3 I had while fighting as Ciri. It wasn't as complex as Geralt's fighting, so it was the right call to limit the time of the sections, but the faster, lighter combat really appealed to me. Dodge roll is great, a staple of any character action game, but blink will always be more fun.
Kazmistrz1993 Ciri is amazing, from a princess to a witcher to a fisstech snorting lesbian bandit, to a slave, to a time and cross dimension traveler, pretty fucking badass. And you can't forget she was friends with unicorns and was supposed to be mother of wild hunt next king, who knows maybe if they would have viagra in this world she could have been Aen Elle queen.
Kazmistrz1993 I kind of hated that she sopped the white frost - for book-Ciri it was an integral part of her character arc that she decided she cared about her personal happiness more than her duties of birth, and so for her to stop the white frost undoes that arc.
aNerdNamedJames Honestly, I just pretend that the books and the games are separate entities. The games aren't bad, but there is the mild issue of their storyline blatantly contradicting the established stories. That being said, I wouldn't say that she cared about personal happiness more than her destiny - at the end, she almost seemed to accept it before asking for time. and considering that she can jump through time, it's potentially possible that she does eventually find the maturity and selflessness to come back and face fate.
Kazmistrz1993 When you fight as her in the final battle ... holy fuck, is she OP!
The lioness of cintra!
Just finished playing all the witcher games. When this song first dropped I thought it sounded amazing. Now that I understand the characters and story, years later it hits different. It’s more impactful now
This is masterpiece I can't stop listening it.That female voice is fantastic ! We need more songs as a this I really hope I see her in Hearts of Stone.
FANTASTIC JOB !
Ciri is my favourite character in literature, and this song perfectly fits her, thank you!
Wow, Gavin can even sing as a lady! Amazing
I know...
+Dragos442 You clearly didn't when you posted the comment.
MyVanir It was a "joke", I know a it's a new concept.
Dragos442
In text, what is typed is what understood. Just like sarcasm, the kind of humor you attempted simply does not exist.
MyVanir ... I am not even going to try anymore, go and live in your own special world.
This song gives me chills and bring me to tears. The amount of emotion brought forth from this song is astounding. Love it.
This is 100% my favourite song by miracle of sound!
Your Witcher-Songs are SO FUCKING AWESOME! Every single one of them!
DOOM and Dark soul 3 are masterpieces too, didn't listen more so far, this guy/band are pro or amateurs ?
Pulsafrr uhm... Interesting question. He is one guy, doing all of this pretty much alone, maybe outside of the video editing. And if by pro you mean professional then, yes this is his profession. His job. Thats how he makes his living
We're so back gamers
Imagine another conjunction with the world ending evil on the rise.
Ciri training herself with yeneffer and learning to control her powers over witcher 4 and 5.
And then in 6th we see the true Goddess that we only drramed of so far...
The way he sings "Yeah I'm frozen cold" is pretty cool!
It feels like Ciri is singing. Beautiful voice, just like hers.
This song is the best about Ciri! I got to give you props on composing it! I think even master bard Dandelion would be jealous.
Gavin, your talent is astonishing! Whenever I think "That's it - that's gotta be the best he'll ever do", you just keep raising the bar further!
I was trying to figure out through the entire song, if it was Lorna singing. A shame there probably won't be anymore Elizabeth-themed songs, I always loved her part in the Bioshock-songs! But Ailin did fantastic as well on this - Ciris Song is going straight to repeat for me the next couple of weeks! :D
Jonas Bjerregaard Thank you! Both Lorna & Ailin will be on more songs in the future because they're both wonderful :)
miracleofsound I can't wait for that! I like the songs with two vocals!
Great Song...And Ciri is Amazing...I really hope i see her on the Exp///
mormegil231 I hope so as well... God i just wished, and standalone Exp, just centered around her, loved her abilities, she was much more fast moveing with her teleporting, felt less defensive more fast, was just great. an Exp with her, would be worth my money many times over.
mikkelmv3991 There's been some speculation that Ciri will be the main player character in the next game :D
mikkelmv3991
Honestly, she is too amazing to give her too much screen time before it gets stale. The whole point of of her getting chased is becomes of the immense powers she wields and they give you a couple times the chance to try them out to show it's not just words. However if you make it too long, it will either get boring fast since you are a monster or they make it harder which lessens the whole idea of her being well...the most powerful being in the witcher universe.
Aldowyn Doubt it seeing as 'SPOILERS' in one of the endings she dies
We dont know shes dead I think CDPR will somehow tie all the endings together for the nextgame if there is going to be another game.
This remains absolutely epic. Reminds me just how much I love Ciri. Would be hyped to one day play a full game as her.
I was listening to this song after a few years and I started to wonder about the line "wake the wolf with a distant roar". I obviously know about where the wolf is coming from but I was lost on the roar. But like 5 seconds later it hit me. Ciri is the Lion Cub of Cintra... geez I'm so thick sometimes 😂 Great song Gav 😊
Oh cool I didn't notice this either 😅
I love it. Thank you for giving Ciri Justice. I'll make sure I'll get everyone I know to buy it.
Harbinger Nazara Thank you!! people buying my music allows me to continue doing it as my job which means more music for everyone :) :)
The Reason why I Love Ciri so much. She wields the blood that is capable of manipulating Time and Space, She is thought by one of the, if not the best swordmaster in her world. She is literally a Goddess but despite all of this she just wants to feel happiness and freedom, but every time there is a catastrophe her heroic side surfaces and she ends up saving the world. Plus she has that sort of attitude which I find attractive.
This song is so disgustingly good. I would love to see another collaboration between you and Ailín!
Aye, Ciri, your new chapter on the Path draws near. Hold your sword close and watch your back for there are monsters everywhere you go
This is my personal favorite. Stuck in my head for a loooong time after the first time and I come back often.
this masterpiece should be in the game
This game is such a MASTERPIECE !
I read the book as a small, waiting for the latest edition two years, nobody knows my pleasure, my dog he is 13 years old and his name is Regis !!! in Bohemia, Geralt of Rivea knew few people and now the whole world knows Geralt and Ciri, only to Regis much forgotten, and not to the message of Mr. Sapkowski !!!!!!! Czech had our little group wrote a letter to Poland to accelerate its master conclusion of the saga: -DDD over my joy is not !!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK !!!!!!!
Underrated song.. one of the best i've ever heared!
An absolutley fantastic song along side what is probably the best RPG ever made....Thank you so much miracleofsound for playing this song. :)
What happened to Skjall is really unfortunate. He's one of the most tragic character in the game for me.
RedgraveGilver It was inevitable.
RedgraveGilver Yeah. And Ciri really did care about him.
Grrr.
+RedgraveGilver Worst things have happened in the Witcher. They just showed how it touched Ciri emotionally.
Geralt does have emotion, or he just doesn't show it much. So the tragedy that happened to Skjall was emphasized through that.
+Aidan Sumner he has emotions. the mutagens havent removed it
Read the books + play the game = LOVE !
Holy shit Gav. Please dont take any offense to your other music but this is easily one of your greatest songs. Keeps bringing me back after 6 years and its never gonna stop bringing me back. Pure art man. Hope all is well and keep up the great work
The witcher music you created is just scarily good. Truly a masterpiece
I can't get over how insanely good this song is. It is haunting me at night, and even at full day. I've literaly listened to it on repeat at the very least twenty times a day for three months before giving up my bad conscience and buying The Witcher 3, just because of you, Gavin ! I hope you're happy !
Well, I am. :)
This is my top repeatable song in RUclips music 2022) Thank you so much!!!!
My gosh, this song is wonderful! I didn't know you existed before yesterday and I think I must've listened to everything on your channel since then! You are an awesomely talented artist and work with some incredible people.
This song is a masterpiece. U can feel Witcher's climat as well. Can't stop listening to it
Dito!
Now i'm sad because, i listened to all of your songs, and just when i listened to this one, it's like everything you made so far to get here was nothing, this is just perfect, don't know how to express it, and i am not saying you have no good songs, but compared to Lady Of Worlds, they can't even stand a chance.
Words can not describe this game and the beauty it holds
