    This is going to be very bittersweet. I had started showing you guys' videos to my mom back in October of 2020 after I had just discovered Voiceplay and you guys grew on her so quickly just like y'all did on me as well. She had heavily grown very fond of Geoff and his immense range very quickly. It hurts so much to say that my mom passed away 2 weeks ago and not having her around anymore to show what all you guys will put out from here on out is going to be extremely difficult. Especially this one because today is my mom's birthday. She would have seen this as a birthday gift that's for sure.
    Edit.. wow I, saying that I am speechless by the amount of likes, the outpouring of support would be the biggest understatement I seriously didn't expect this many people to reach out. I'm utterly overwhelmed. This is, sincerely, thank you everyone. It means more than the world to me this community absolutely blows my mind. And to everyone else that has suffered loss, be it recent or distant, please know you all have my deepest heartfelt condolences
    Voiceplay, be it current, former or future members and past and future feature vocalists. Everything y'all do or have done will definitely be a gift I'll get to share with my mom on an ethereal level

      ​@@shirleykarr560 Based on my limited knowledge of historical Viking fashion, Layne most likely the Nord Jarl.
      I'm guessing Cesar is the battlemage b/c of the chain mail? Very stylistically King Arthur.
      Eli would, of course, be the necromancer or a member of Order of the Ancestor Moth. Dude's wearing a cool monk robe, and his body type is more suited for magic than brutality, like Loki!
      I suppose that leaves Geoff as the barbarian, given the lack of costume yardage.
      I think their costumes are super cool! I love the various leather strap details that show up on the costumes! You can clearly see how the quiver and shoulder pads are attached to Omar, Geoff's own shoulder-pad thing [and super cool wrist guards!], the leather attachments on the robe and hood for Eli. Love the cape of Cesar! So stylish and swirly!, and a special shoutout to Layne's sword! How did they ever find one that's the right size?!

      This scene takes place in Sovngarde, in the Hall of Valor, moments before the final battle with Alduin. The situation was so dire, Sovngarde deemed it necessary to bring in "Edhel-o i minei naur" or "Elf of the single fire." Omar, and his most trusted elvish companions. Together with the dragonborn and his Nordic allies, they would face Alduin here....and now.

      Another possibility: They are a group of friends that grew up together revering stories of the dragonborn, so much so that they went to high Hrothgar to learn shouting from the Greybeards. This song happens when rumors of the dragonborn emerging reach their ears, and they are setting out to find and join the Dovakiin.

    Our hero, our hero, claims a warrior's heart
    I tell you, I tell you, the Dragonborn comes
    With a voice wielding power of the ancient nord arts
    Believe, believe, the Dragonborn comes
    It's an end to the evil of all Skyrim's foes
    Beware, beware, the Dragonborn comes
    For the darkness has passed, and the legend yet grows
    You'll know, you'll know, the Dragonborn's come
    Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin
    Naal ok zin los vahriin
    Wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal
    Ahrk fin norok paal graan
    Fod nust hon zindro zaan
    Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal
    (the translation from Dragon 🐉)
    Dragonborn, Dragonborn
    By his honor is sworn
    To keep evil forever at bay!
    And the fiercest foes rout
    When they hear triumph's shout,
    Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!

    As a fan of both Skyrim and Voiceplay, here's some reasons why this is the BEST cover ever!
    - the smoky atmosphere
    - the colour-grading is just GORGEOUS
    - the costumes, armour, and set - I can't imagine how long everything must have taken wow
    - Geoff's vocals in the beginning (he never fails to be amazing)
    - the fact that the facepaint matches or is almost exactly the same as the Skyrim facepaint options
    - their elf ears!
    - 0:35 Cesar's smooooth vocals
    - the harmonies at 0:45, 1:21, 1:30, and 3:33
    - 1:06 that bass thing dammmnn that was amazing (also happened at 1:24 and 1:58 along with Eli's high note - that was even better)
    - Eli's magical book (kinda jealous)
    - 1:51, 2:37, and 2:55 those high notes
    - 2:12 the mixing volumes are so gooood
    - their pronounciation of the dragon words are chef's kiss
    - 2:53 the slide into the harmonies
    - 2:56 Layne's beatboxing with the echo effect
    - 3:04 Geoff's arpeggios - I don't know how he managed to keep every note in tune - that was epic
    - 3:19 the FX shout effect
    - Omar's smooth vocals at 3:21, and the riffs at 3:23 and 4:11
    - 4:14 probably my favourite ending yet - the drama is GORGEOUS!!
    I've listened to this multiple times already since it came out, this is for sure going into my "All Time Faves" music playlist!!

    • @Blackn3t
      @Blackn3t 2 года назад +4

      Interesting. I wonder why I have such a different reaction to this cover compared to most people. I agree that visually it's very high quality but if I had to judge just the audio...
      It seems to me like one of the weaker works of VoicePlay and probably the worst Dragonborn Comes cover I've heard. And I've heard a lot of them.
      I actually agree with every point you listed - it shows good techniques and it is well performed. But it's just trying too hard to be original and quirky that in the end it just ruins all of the important parts that normally make me feel something. They 100% could've made much better decisions about who sings which part.
      Please don't send me to the block 😅

    • @loganbyrant
      @loganbyrant 2 года назад +17

      @@Blackn3t I wholeheartedly disagree, but you opinion is valid.
      Not every Skyrim cover will suit every Skyrim fan. Different emotions are portrayed in every single cover, this one is more low-key and intricate than most. Perhaps you gravitate towards more epic, warrior versions of the cover, and this one just seemed like a lot of effort for not much result?
      As someone who has worked in music/vocals production this cover stood out to me for the amount of effort arranging, mixing and performing this piece. It's not as raw as you may like, but it has certainly struck a chord for many.
      Also in regards to it "trying to be original and quirky", I think you'll find that you will have the same reaction to all their covers. It's just the way they design their music layout. For me, this adds interest and a fresh take on a piece that sounds very similar for every cover.
      Not sending you to the block, and if you don't like this song, that's ok. Just two Skyrim fans sharing their opinions on the internet :)

    I left a comment before. I was playing Skyrim and went to a cave and played your song when I invaded the cave. It was fantastic. I could feel I was warrior. Thank you.

    Eli's entrance at 1:12 makes me shiver. His high notes are amazingly clear... Love his rock voice to death, but this is something else... 🥰

    *Shudder* but in a good way. I didn't know what to expect, then comes this Thu'um, deep and cavernous, and there I was picked up by the costumes, the different singing methods. Well done

    The harmonies, Geoff's bass, Eli's amazing high notes, the costumes and makeup, everything just brought chills all over my body! You guys never stop to amaze me and every song seems to get better and better. Geoff did an amazing job with the arrangement for this one and every single one of your voices were just awe inspiring. Now I feel an intense need to fire up Skyrim and start a few new playthrough where the characters all look like each one of you.

    I have loved this song since the first time I heard it on some guy's computer in a Village Inn and said "What the heck is THAT?!!"--and this is the Best. Version. Ever. A war-shout for sure! That dragon has no chance. I thought you couldn't outdo "My Mother Told Me" and then you dropped this and I have no words to describe how much I love the voices, the arranging, the production values, the costuming, the makeup, the props, the lights, the characterizations, the overarcing crescendo from beginning to end, the full-blooded harmonies...I would swear that there was an entire orchestra in this piece, which just goes to prove that truly great acappella RULES!!! Thank you, bless you, and keep up the EPIC work!!!

    Can we just talk abt how everyone will impatiently wish for Omar to hopefully be a part of VoicePlay one day from now on for a sec? Like Geoff and Omar are two mind blowing vocal extremes, that just fit flawlessly, when put together. 😱😱🔥🔥🔥🔥

    This video becomes that much more special with all the scenery and costumes, props to Eli, Geoff and all the team for making this experience not only enjoyable for the ears, but for the eyes as well!
