Dragon Age - A Shred of Blue (original song)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- "A Shred of Blue" is my favourite codex from Dragon Age: Inquisition. It can be found in the Fallow Mire, and seems to be a song about the Grey Warden Calling - the song of the Archdemon that signals the end of the Warden's life.
I've been planning to put the words to music for quite some time, and I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to introduce my new harp.
I hope you enjoy!

LYRICS
-----------
Hear the rain upon the leaves, above the sky lies grey.
A shred of blue would be denied. Alas, he could not stay.
There was a stir within his blood
And the dreams lay thick upon him.
A call did beat within his heart.
One road was left before him.
Hear the rain upon the leaves, above the sky lies grey.
A shred of blue would be denied. Alas, he could not stay.
"See how the rain has washed away
The tears that you were crying?
Though the darkness calls me down
You know we all are dying."
Hear the rain upon the leaves, above the sky lies grey.
A shred of blue would be denied. Alas, he could not stay.
And so he came upon the place
Where so many tread before.
One last look upon the world
Before he crossed that final door.
Birds reel across the endless sky, above a house upon the plain.
In memory she sings to him of a time before the rain.
Sweet Andraste, hear our song
For his road will be ours too.
Before darkness claims our souls
Let us see that shred of blue.

OMG! I was literally crying when I've read this lyrics for the first time in Fallow Mire. Never thought I'll hear it as a real song. Thank you so much for this.
kinda TW but i rlly want to say it
i used to listen to this a lot when i was depressed and wanted to end it. this song kind of comforted my fear of death. i cry everytime i listen to it, bc it reminds me of that awful time in a good way because im better now. alive 6 years later and finally happy. thank u for making it ❤❤
I would love to hear this in the background of a tavern or festival in a future game.
Angel voice
she's so beautyfull ❤❤
So very very beautiful and sad.
I wish you do song about Way of Kings especially to Kaladin Stormblessed. :)
Love the new harp, Merrigan. It's been awhile since I last heard anything new, but it is always worth the wait. Still, I can't wait to hear more. ;)
You are literally perfect :'(
Aaah, I've missed your videos, but clearly the wait was worth it ^^ Absolutely amazing as always. Good to hear the new harp in use as well ^^
this is so beautiful
Love!
The voice is magical! You should never stop singing.
Lovely voice as always
Great song! Congratz!
yaay! it didn't take you 4 months for another video xD
You are one of the few artists I keep coming back to. Such a unique voice and talent you have, thank you! 💜
"In peace,Vigilance. In war, Victory. In death, Sacrifice." Oh grey warden, What have you done? Dragon age will always have a place in my heart. Btw I just discovered you and...You like dragon age...And the kingkiller chronicles. Its a perfect bundle. Because I love them both.
So absolutely gorgeous.
Found you through the Interesting NPCs mod for Skyrim, your music is amazing!
I love your music, your voice, everything. You are very talented and you have a new subscribe here. I love Dragon Age too, so I thank you for perform this sad and beautiful song. You made it even more wonderful.
Holy crap, this is so beautiful!!
God, this codex is so sad, but little things like this really make the game so much more incredible. This cover is a lovely tribute to that!
I made the most inelegant squawk when I saw you'd posted this. Yay! Wonderful as expected!!
Beautiful and mesmerizing
Hey Merrigan, can we expect a new song dedicated to The Kingkiller Chronicle some time soon?
I'm working on one as we speak, but I don't have an ETA yet, I'm afraid. D:
Merrigan Don't be, everything you do is brilliant. ;)
Hola! Haven't seen you post anything for a while; happy to see you doing what you love :)
Oh, you bought a new harp! It sounds beautiful. I love your music!
Oh my goodness. I'm in love with your voice.
You have the most beautiful voice 💕
You are so talented!!! Wow....my gosh your voice is the most perfect thing ever!
Just came back from a really shitty day of work, only to greeted by your upload. Even if you never intended it, thank you for brightening up the rest of my with your lovely voice! Keep up the amazing work!
like always your music is fantastic, i hope that you always play and sing with your soul
Your new harp sounds amazing, and you play it beautifully! I think I need to go read my DA:I codex more carefully...
Also, it makes me happy that you had sufficient arms and armor laying about to film this. :)
My God... Your new harp has such a "clean" sound. It's wonderful. It's only surpassed by the beauty of your angelical voice. And the different layers full of details you construct are always beautiful to hear. Your videos keep improving, too.
This may be my new favorite song. Not only coming from you, but altogether. Thank you so much!
I'm absolutely in love with the sound of this new harp.
wow! so wonderful! such a sweet voice, I could cry because its so beautiful and sad
^__^ Missed your voice and am glad to hear something new from you again!
so ethereal and lovely, thank you so much

A terrible cliché, but listening to this song really feels like angels singing to me
Enchanting.
You are what I picture Rohanne Webber would have looked like.
This is amazing!
Beautiful
When I feel stressed ,I usually hear this music.
❣❣
This is absolutely beautiful 😍❤
Beautiful!
Amazing!!!
God I wish I was enchanting like her
Du hast eine super süße stümme einfach nur geil deine Lieder sind super weiter so.
Might be a weird question! But whats the tattoo you adorn on your right arm? Also very lovely song :)
Thank you! It's a little fish. :D
Daawww a little guppy! Also I have a second perhaps odd question. How do you go over lyrics of text that have no song and add a tune to it? I write "songs" for my RP characters :P but never had a proper tune in mind for. Hench I ask, so I may perhaps be able to add a tune to certain things I have written.
I can't really answer that in a way that would be helpful to you. A lot of my work is just sitting down with the base instrument (almost always harp in my case) and playing around with chords and melodies until I find something I think sounds pretty. Then I build from there.
That exactly helped quite a bit ;) Ill ask a friend of mine who plays gitar if he could aid me! Thanks!
You must have some Fae blood. Beautiful song!
The best thing about Inquisition was this codex.
Way too Beautiful!
brilliantly beautiful enchanting voice Merrigan.
They NEED to include this in a Dragon Age game.
Such a beautiful voice....
This song is absolutely fantastic! Always puts me in a good mood. The only person who could possibly dislike it is Sebastian lol! But I don't think so... Please keep up the good work!
Amei ❤️ como sempre mais um lindo trabalho! :D

Leliana Approves +10.
Much praise from Minnesota
As always, I am loving your stuff Shy ;)
I want to ask, given your live for RPGs and the fantasy bent of your art, would you be interested in helping out with a writing project Ive been working on? I ask because beyond most others your music inspires me to write almost always without fail.
Id love to hear from you, your input would mean the world to me.
may involve some musical challenges as well, ifnyoure up for it ;)
Hi! What sort of help would you be needing?
Nothing specific. Just conjecture, advice, maybe prereading, if you feel up to it. I've been working on plot for one particular story for a while now.
Maybe a couple story elements or ideas
For instance, one of my characters is a Courtesan, trained by masters in song and dance...
Having trouble picturing a song or a score that she may sing or dance to.
A couple of my characters are musicians...one of them is a traveling minstrel and adventurer. I could use your help making her seem more believable.
Just stuff here and there. if you have time and feel up to it.
I'm not really a very good writer, so I'm not sure how much my advice on that sort of thing would be worth. I think writing about singing is quite different from actually doing it.
Merrigan I totally understand, believe me. I can do the writing portion pretty alright. Im really just looking for proofreaders and creative inspiration. Since I know you have a bent for Fantasy worlds(Skyrim, Dragon Age, etc) I felt this might be something youd be interested in. :3
This is so beautiful.
What a gorgeous song
Simply beautiful, touches my very soul 🤗
So beautiful~ can't get tired of it at all~!
You reaches some part deep in my soul and heart... maybe someday your voice will fit one song of mine...it's so lovely
you r awesome girl
and beautiful yeep
