Down by the River Lyrics [Verse 1] Lace your heart with mine Let your sleeping soul take flight Take me through the night [Refrain] Down, down, down by the river Down, down, down by the river (By the river) [Verse 2] Hanging moon in fog Mists will lead where you belong Sweep me off my feet [Refrain] Down, down, down by the river Down, down, down by the river Down, down, down by the river (By the river) [Bridge] Inky embers (Inky embers) Swirl and dance (Swirl and dance) Just leave the flames and take a chance To be with me tonight Take my hand And hold it tight 'Causе you and I are everywhеre The night is young, we're going [Refrain] Down, down, down by the river (By the river) Down, down, down by the river Down, down, down by the river (By the river) [Outro] Don't wake me up Just leave me there dreaming
people from the internet let's unite to make Larian Studios see this, this metal cover is on a whole another dimension do I love it? HELL YES! thank you Skar for this work of art!
I'm in love with this cover. The transformation is fantastic. You make it sound like it was always meant to be a rock song. I love the original version, but your version is the one I'm going to listen to on repeat.
Bad ass🔥🔥🔥🔥 I've seen a lot of metal covers of this song that miss the mark because they just put metal riffs in with the original. You transformed it and made it beautiful ❤️ Got chills listening and absolutely felt like this could have been the soundtrack for the Lae'zel romance scene. Also I choose to believe Astarion singing because he's essentially Lestat XD Very well done ♥️
This song works in every form I've heard, yet I am no less impressed with the various versions I've heard. You've made another instant classic and addition to the playlist, Skar.
Very cool! Coming from a non player! I love that I don't have to be a fan or consumer of these different things to enjoy the covers you create of them. It's just good music
I'm a huge fan of the original, and I like this just as much, which can be hard to do when translating a song into a cover. Amazing job! I love how you sang it, where it was more gruff and rock but not completely grunge. Feels so epic this way.
And this is on spotify too🤧 a fucking blessing that is, I can’t even tell you how awesome this feels, and I speak for everyone when I say that- THANK YOU
I cannot state enough how absolutely glorious this cover is. I haven't heard anything this good in a really long time. Your vocals are exactly what I was looking for when I was looking for a cover of the song. Seriously, can't sing you enough praise for this one.
Why is it that everytime I get addicted to a game, Skar drops a banger tune, that I also get addicted to. This is "Arthas, my son" all over again, buddy! I thought I had moved on with my life... Fy faen, brodern👏
I've started so many campaigns waiting at venture fourth while my buddies take there sweet time making characters, this song was already stuck in my head. Then I find this banger and it's never going away. Thanks.
The original is beautiful but gets stuck in my head to the point of bugging me (my own fault for spending too much time in character creator!) But i think youve just fixed that for me! Amazing!
Nice Sir. Very cool to see you making music again. I wish you the best. Your explanation in the post last time helped me to understand why there where no more music from such a talented and nice guy. Stay heavy
I just discovered this channel (got added to my feed because I watch a lot of BG3 videos). I've loved metal since my teen years, and this marriage between the already epic BG3 soundtrack and Skar Productions' even MORE epic metal covers is just... genius. I'm so hooked. Game over, man, game over.
Do I Love it?! Yes!!! I Do! Thank you Skar! ❤
Thank you for such an amazing soundtrack, Borislav🤘So happy you liked the cover!
The man himself!
Толкова се гордея, че подобни фентъзи саундтраци са измайсторени от българин ❤ Евала, Борислав! Благодаря за вдъхновението!

[BARD][COLLEGE OF METAL][PERFORMANCE] Lace your heart with mine... * rolls nat 20 *
Yep, he definitely rolled a nat 20
This needs to be a subclass mod now.
With a +10 bonus multiplier
Bard College of Metal from now on. Whatever multiclass that needs to be.
@@ivanberdichevsky5679his passive is a nat20!
I'm a cleric of Skar now
This has just such MASSIVE Nightwish vibes in this arrangement, loving it!
Haha yeah I do love Nightwish 😅
This would work so good to play when Nightwish flies away from the prison to moonlight, damn!
I am not going to lie. Nightwish covering Down By The River would be awesome, especially if Marko joined in
First thing I thought ❤
I hear it too! especially in the keyboard accompaniment
Down by the River Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lace your heart with mine
Let your sleeping soul take flight
Take me through the night
[Refrain]
Down, down, down by the river
Down, down, down by the river (By the river)
[Verse 2]
Hanging moon in fog
Mists will lead where you belong
Sweep me off my feet
[Refrain]
Down, down, down by the river
Down, down, down by the river
Down, down, down by the river (By the river)
[Bridge]
Inky embers (Inky embers)
Swirl and dance (Swirl and dance)
Just leave the flames and take a chance
To be with me tonight
Take my hand
And hold it tight
'Causе you and I are everywhеre
The night is young, we're going
[Refrain]
Down, down, down by the river (By the river)
Down, down, down by the river
Down, down, down by the river (By the river)
[Outro]
Don't wake me up
Just leave me there dreaming
Poignant especially when you read about the game's original plot.
Came here straight from Larian’s thank you to the community video and holy shit that was amazing. Rock on!! 🤟🏻
Jesus, your singing on this one always blows my mind! Thanks for letting me be part of it!
Too true, but your shredding is also sick and iconic dude 🤘 rock on
@@Calebgoblin Man, thanks!
Did one of my favourite BG3 songs justice! As a metal head I thank you for your amazing contribution to this work of art! 🤘
AAARGH this is so fucking good!
If only I had a bag of holding, I'd be carring this shit around with me all day long
it’s so fit with karlach’s new ending!
D20! Critical Success!
I'm gonna watch this.... In a van.... DOWN BY THE RIVER **falls through coffee table**
This would make for a ridiculously epic final boss theme.
Ever since I heard that song in the game I thought "Skar is gonna rock this"
Holy smokes this dudes voice. Goosebumps when you hit those highnotes. Just a phenomenal cover all around man
people from the internet let's unite to make Larian Studios see this, this metal cover is on a whole another dimension
do I love it? HELL YES! thank you Skar for this work of art!

Do I Love it?! Yes!!! I Do! Thank you Skar! ❤
Listening to this makes you feel like a hero. Singing this makes you feel like god.
What a glorious cover!
Every cover you do blows me away, it's insane how consistent you are. My only complaint with this is that it isn't long enough!
Was struggling to extend this one. Managed to add 30 seconds at least haha
Dear baby Jesus, I wish I could swap the OG version for this amazing rendition! You have one hell of a voice my dude!
I'm in love with this cover. The transformation is fantastic. You make it sound like it was always meant to be a rock song. I love the original version, but your version is the one I'm going to listen to on repeat.
You definitely did this better than everyone else on here. I've tried to listen to everyone and I just can't, I have to have this one. Perfect fit.
Agreed, at least among the "metal" versions.
Not only does this sound AMAZING, you look like you're having so much fun with it.
Once again - A critical hit! - i hope you are doing allright brother!
YES!!!!!!! I am so so so happy you made this one and I knew you would blow us away with it! Love it! 🤘🎶🎸
Bad ass🔥🔥🔥🔥 I've seen a lot of metal covers of this song that miss the mark because they just put metal riffs in with the original. You transformed it and made it beautiful ❤️

Потрясающее исполнение. Мотив и слова песни прекрасно ложаться на метал оранжировку👍
Wowowow! I found you from Larian’s video that you appeared in! This was absolutely amazing. I’m now binging the rest of your videos.
Very cool! Coming from a non player!
I love that I don't have to be a fan or consumer of these different things to enjoy the covers you create of them. It's just good music

Loving the tadpole effects on this! You did it again, man, absolute banger
Dude
You
*NEVER*
Disappoint.
This is the Way.
You just keep amazing me Skar.
great performance! you roll a 20
Easiest add to playlist I have ever done.
I never thought how well this fits Melodic Metal, so much I would have thought this was the original if I didn't hear it before.
Check out little v's version too
Holy damn, that started randomly for me in background. It was the fastest double take I ever had.
I'm a huge fan of the original, and I like this just as much, which can be hard to do when translating a song into a cover. Amazing job! I love how you sang it, where it was more gruff and rock but not completely grunge. Feels so epic this way.
awesome cover Skar! I know you might be having a rough time of it recently but know we do care and we will be here for you, rock on forever!
This one always gets stuck in my head, and now even moreso! BG3 has so many great tunes. I hope you'll end up doing "I Want to Live" at some point.
Sounds great! I hope to hear Raphael's Last Act from you as well \,,,/
This deserves so many more views! Absolutely incredible mate
Game of the Year 🎉
Game of the Year baby!
PLEASE do Raphael's Final Act next!!! Also from BG3!
You certainly got your wish, absolutely godtier
Fucking badass. I kept expecting to hear Amy Lee fire up her pipes.
I hope the team at Larian see this! Epic!
🔥🔥🔥Holy shit! this is pure Abyssal hellfire🔥🔥🔥
Wooooooo!!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
AMAZING AS ALWAYS
This should be the final boss theme on honor mode
Omg! Awesome!
This is by far my favourite cover 😭😭 You have me in complete awe here, sweet precious person
This is so sick. I’m just jamming this and Raphael’s Final Act on repeat.
A critical success for this performance! 🎉❤
Very beautiful and powerful
This game is a decade (grand)redesigner! Gz for the cover Skar, we want The Power/Raphael's Final Act next!
The guitar part is easy, the vocal part is ridiculously hard.
I admit, I felt the impulse to throw some horns.
Subscribed.
Oh fuck yeah, I'm so glad you covered this. What a banger dude.
Dayum, that's actually bad ass. Nice job!
Bad a$$!! You are awesome man
Omg so good, love this song ingame and your version is even better. Someone should show this to Sven!
Lets f'n go. Love this !!!
Oh yes! Love it! Keep rock’n bruhhs!! 🎸
And this is on spotify too🤧 a fucking blessing that is, I can’t even tell you how awesome this feels, and I speak for everyone when I say that- THANK YOU
your ancestor guardian spirits are smiling down on you mate, hope you can feel how proud they are
F*cking awesome!! We want more!
Getting huge Howard Jones era of Killswitch Engage vibes and I absolutely love it!
Absolutely amazing!
I was hoping this was going to happen! So happy to see it!
"casts Guidance Bolt" "initiative +6" "Performance +10"
Tell me that the Bard is the best class without telling me its the best class.
As a huge fan of Rhapsody of Fire (and of Baldur's Gate 3, of course), this is exactly my vibe! Great job!
Thanks man! Always funny when people gets vibes from bands I never really listened to haha. Tbh that goes for most bands people compare me to 😅
Holy macaroni! This is absolutely amazing!!! Love it!! 🤩🤩🤩
HOOOLLLYYYY, AMazing cover....
When a level 20 bard rolls a nat 20 on performance
Man, I can tell you loved singing this, love the game, or both. And that makes it so much better
Was literally checking your account several times over the last week, hoping this was coming out. Fantastic.
Skar the Bard🤘
More like down by the ocean! Wonderfully flooding my ears! God damn this man slays!
I cannot state enough how absolutely glorious this cover is. I haven't heard anything this good in a really long time. Your vocals are exactly what I was looking for when I was looking for a cover of the song. Seriously, can't sing you enough praise for this one.
Why is it that everytime I get addicted to a game, Skar drops a banger tune, that I also get addicted to. This is "Arthas, my son" all over again, buddy! I thought I had moved on with my life...
Fy faen, brodern👏
Epic!
Holy shit! It reminds me a bit of good old times, when some games had metal themes. Like Sacred 2 or Hellgate: London.
Nice work man!
This was a fantastic cover of an already incredible piece! Well done
I've been waiting for this song performed by you) I thought she would appear) as always delightful❤
I've started so many campaigns waiting at venture fourth while my buddies take there sweet time making characters, this song was already stuck in my head. Then I find this banger and it's never going away. Thanks.
Face.....melted!
The original is beautiful but gets stuck in my head to the point of bugging me (my own fault for spending too much time in character creator!) But i think youve just fixed that for me! Amazing!
OMG. I was waiting this so freaking muuuuch!!! Amazing as always!!
Hell yeah bro. Nice.
Epic dude!
That was freaking awesome, got me shivering thoroughly. Excellent work!
Great cover. This song was crying out for a good metal cover, and you nailed it. Would love you to have a go at "I Want to Live" also from BG3
That was wicked sick
I was so hoping you would cover this song! Definitely an epic version, melodic and heavy just as I like it
Goddamnnnnnnn 🔥
I think this is the fastest ive ever subbed to anyone.
Should have hired you to do the theme song. You guys slayed it 🤘
Nice Sir.
Very cool to see you making music again.
I wish you the best.
Your explanation in the post last time helped me to understand why there where no more music from such a talented and nice guy.
Stay heavy
