Playing W3 for the first time and I just heard this song for the first time a few minutes ago. I was not expecting to be introduced to something this beautiful today.
Geralt and Yennefer's story is so enchantingly romantic and beautiful and the fact I truly love Yen makes this song an even stronger emotional arrow through the heart
After hearing this song the first time I immediately fell in love with Priscilla. I enjoyed every single mission involving her. I hope she's doing well
I just finished this mission, I was and still am absolutely blown away by this ballad.. those thought provoking lyrics mixed with the intricacy of the lute progression. Beautiful.
I had 2 thoughts when I first heard this song 1) omfg this song is so damn good imma fucking cry And 2) I'm listening to a song about Gearlt and Yens love right after i made gearlt have sex with every prostitute in crippled Kate's
Yes you are correct but it's not one woman whogeralt loves it's two, triss is Berry's tart and yen is liylac sweet, in the game things happen leaving him in a situation. in Witcher 2 geralt lost his memory and triss helped him and he fell in love with no bindings no tricks. She helped him remember who he was because people were taking advantage of his forgetfully situation and he remembered yen. In the game you can't do both so it leaves you with a choice and a song like that to make you think before them choices come up
Yen is both. Her scent is literally called out as gooseberries and lilac flowers on MULTIPLE occasions. Triss doesn't even factor in. She's someone who used him for wish fulfillment when he didn't remember why he shouldn't.
I came in very late to the Witcher love- I was so invested in Game of Thrones. The fact I had read the books before the show had me even more curious to see what they did on the show..... to see its outcome. I can happily say, I swallowed my pride of "You missed out on one of the greatest games of all time in 2015" and played it as of late. Since then, I have went on to reading the books. This song was so good that it inspired me to now work on a FULL WITCHER TIMELINE- on my channel, starting with Duny and Pavetta. I now thank this game for forcing me to "GO PLAY, GO READ"' I love this story and now find myself fascinated with characters such as Leo Bonhart- I guess the point of this ramble is..... Great series yall, it is never too late.....
The raw beauty of this piece is a testament to the detail & polish (no pun intended, hehehe) CDPR put into this wonderful game. The song still gives me shivers over a year later...
I'm in the middle of reading blood of elves and it has made a huge change on how much I respect ciri for going through the training of becoming a witcher.
i played the game from an old save (more than 4 hours) of game play again just to get to this point of the game where i'd leave the controller and just daydream with this song.
I just realised, the song kind of mentions Geralt and Yennefer, the whole "Wolf" thing as Geralt is know as the "White Wolf" and got taught at the school of the wolf. As of Yennefer, "To dream of raven locks entwisted, stormy" Yennefer is shown in the opening cutscene, with a raven (that later explodes into a crystal skull you can pick up and do nothing with) and her hair (locks) is black, as a raven, if you will. "Your scent - *berries* tart, *lilac* sweet" and Geralt asks villagers of white orchard "have you seen a woman, wears black and white, smells of *lilac* and *gooseberries*. oh, and "Violet eyes"
Also yen has violet eyes, and then there's the part about the wish that he "whispered when it all began". It was a wish made to a djinn that was initially believed to have bound Yen and Geralt together.
@Ashley - I think the storm bit is more about that Geralt (and Yen) had been involved in a lot of tumultuous events even before The Witcher I, and it only had been getting more 'stormy' since then. @aninsaneostrich - I'm sure if you've continued the game you've met some places where people actually recognize Geralt from the song. "So that song is about you and that sorceress?" ".... Yes." Slight spoilers about the background of Yen and Geralt follows: In the game is a book called The Last Wish. This is actually also the title of an actual book and it details how Geralt and Yennefer meet, and the time following that. Geralt and Dandelion find an object, an urn iirc, that holds a Djinn. As in legends, a Djinn is forced to fulfil 3 wishes to the one releasing it. As it happens, Dandelion is the one who thinks he opened it, but it was actually Geralt. His first wish is, by the way, for the Djinn to "Go away and go plow yourself", as the Djinn had been trying to kill Dandelion for having the nerve to try and order it around.Yennefer finds out about this as Geralt asks her for help to heal Dandelion who was seriously injured by the Djinn. Yen has one burning wish, and she plans on forcing Dandelion (who still thinks he is the one who released it) to use his wishes and then recapturing the Djinn to grant her her wish: To make her fertile again, so she can have children. As she tries to subdue it, things do not quite go as planned. Geralt has by now used another wish, I forgot for what. When he gets to the place where Yen is losing her struggle against the Djinn he uses his last wish to bind their fates together and stop the Djinn from interfering. Was it mentioned that Geralt had been fascinated by Yennefer? He was fascinated by her. Ever since they are always drawn to each other. At some times Yennefer loves him, at others she detests being bound like that. They love each other and at the same time neither is sure if they love each other because of the wish only. For those who cheer for Triss - Triss never knew Geralt until Yennefer introduced them. She absolutely knew he and Yen were bound to each other with the wish but when he lost his memory in Withcer I she took full advantage of him. Further, in Witcer II, where Ciri has entered the picture, Yen and Geralt decide to hide her from a circle of sorceresses who wanted to use Ciri for their own gain. Triss betrays their hiding place. I'm honestly amazed Geralt will even talk to Triss, but as he says, "we've known each other a long time".
i don't really listen to just random people, and i don't really pay attention to the stories in the side quests, so i just blitz around killing shit and finding crappy things that i've surpassed 3 levels ago.
I don't think even future witcher games will live up to the legacy this game has set. Its jst a masterpiece. I'm playing witcher 3 currently and jst the thought that no other game will be as perfect as this makes me sad. This game is emotion
That was the moment I decided to choose Yen for my first playthrough. When there are songs about your love to another person, you’re meant to be together
The truth is this song make dandillion become best bard of the witcher universe.when we met first time the master mirror" gaunder of dimm" in white orchard he mention about this ballad
I came exactly to say what these guys said. Just like you on the first playthrough I killed the priest the minute I laid eyes on him. Currently on second playthrough, decided to have a little chitchat with him first. And oh shit. Hope you already avenged that poor girl. We all owe her.
Yes it acctually is. Dandelion was a little chatty about their story when in presence of priscilla and she wove it into a bard song that makes me feel like I'm arroused from hidden magic in these verses.
Well Geralt and the witches is actually a well know story in the game overall. Even in the books some people know the stories of the white haired witcher.
Yenn is that asshole girlfriend who demands to be princess and will scold you for any jokes. I personally can't handle those kind. The ones that want the leash on me and treat me like some kind of dog and will yell at me if I do something I want to do for but one moment! Triss for life. She at least will sit and drink with me and enjoy herself. Yenn Is that strong independant women nature blahh she is no fun.
@@TheRAMBO9191 and Triss is an abusive woman making sure to sleep with Geralt when his memories are lost and knowing full well of Yen and his story since Yen is her "friend". Not only that but she keep on forcing herself into him at every single occasion after that, even when she is only there to make sure Ciri doesnt explode into a million of small pieces killing the few last witcher with her. Yen > Triss. She just is more honest about herself right away so it take more time to like Yen than Triss, but Triss is the real bastard one
@@TheRAMBO9191 let me remind u that are playing as geralt its not a relationship simulator yen is geralt s true love yes u can choose triss but yen is his actual love especially if u read the books triss is just like a side character i mean geralt and yen have been through a lot but even if u talk to ciri about it she wont be as thrilled if u choose triss over yen.
First time I listened to this in game, I only realize it's about a couple. Now I learn that it's about Geralt and Yennefer... But I chose Triss over yen....
Etti Fire I felt the same way! In the game's cutscene I almost felt like laughing because the NPCs were tearing up melodramatically and some of them were making out 😂
She tries hard in the game from what I could tell because she noticed Geralt in the crowd. It's kind of like a message to him that she saw him without giving open acknowledgement because of how people view Witchers. In their universe, she easily could have her career ruined reputation wise if she was known to be a friend of a Witcher.
The Witcher 3 was not just a game. It was a piece of art...
…based on literature, which can make it _harder_
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
IS
Why was?It still is.
Yessir
Playing W3 for the first time and I just heard this song for the first time a few minutes ago. I was not expecting to be introduced to something this beautiful today.
No one was
Some developers dont even put so much thought in to their games like they put into this single song what covers like 3minutes of the game.
The positioning of the song with the story surrounding works so well.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Did it aswell
Geralt and Yennefer's story is so enchantingly romantic and beautiful and the fact I truly love Yen makes this song an even stronger emotional arrow through the heart
Jimmy Lander hey I choosed triss, yet this song is still beautiful to hear

After hearing this song the first time I immediately fell in love with Priscilla. I enjoyed every single mission involving her. I hope she's doing well
TheLukihodak well she kinda took some acid to the face
Realizing that Dandelion (maybe for the firs time ever) was actually in love with her was a very touching moment for me.
@@TomTanks91 when that happened in my game I was enraged
She recovered. Dandelion said she's even singing again, although her voice is a little husky now. He says it's actually better
@@TomTanks91 dandelion mentioned that she’s made pretty much a full recovery, but her voice is a little deeper.
I just finished this mission, I was and still am absolutely blown away by this ballad.. those thought provoking lyrics mixed with the intricacy of the lute progression. Beautiful.
This and "Dragonborn comes" for me are songs that prove video games are much more than just a waste of time. Sooooo GOOD! :)
Exactly
I swapped out the main menu song for The Last Dragonborn, it's also a beautiful song telling Dovahkins story
I had 2 thoughts when I first heard this song
1) omfg this song is so damn good imma fucking cry
And 2) I'm listening to a song about Gearlt and Yens love right after i made gearlt have sex with every prostitute in crippled Kate's
Conman Reloaded ha ha ha :) that's terrible but funny
Conman Reloaded how do i do that
Lmfao, I haven’t had him make love to anyone, I’m in the midst of the game now (yes I’m late) I’m still waiting for yennefirs fine ass 😂😂😂
@@rachellambert5149 that's my job.....
@@rachellambert5149 as long as as you dont fuck Triss, you can still get the Yen ending
This is Tom Hiddelston's sister in case you didnt know
I did not know, thanks for the information! :)
as this video was loading, i searched up "priscilla voice actress" and found that out.
Pretty sure the voice actress is his sister but the sister is a different woman. That's what I've found at least
You ruined the song for me
Dat kewl
I bought a lute today after listening to this and I am beginning my journey to becoming a bard.
You should play this in a bar or something sometimes. It'd be fun to see how many people recognise it.
This game is a timeless work of art.
Yennefer is so special that a song was made for her
This sing is so beautiful. The melody of the lute, and her voice is perfection
"Or if be loves blind chance we've been bound the wish I whispered, when it all began" literally the story a gerald and yen meeting
Yes you are correct but it's not one woman whogeralt loves it's two, triss is Berry's tart and yen is liylac sweet, in the game things happen leaving him in a situation. in Witcher 2 geralt lost his memory and triss helped him and he fell in love with no bindings no tricks.

Well Priscilla is a bard, so she would sing about famous people and stories, and they are both quite well known thanks to dandelion

My guy, this song still gives me shivers over 6 years later...
This song actually got tears when I was engrossed in the game after days of playing. Witcher is the only game that got me attached to.
My God yess! I had headphones on when it played. Was so sad and enthralling.
Listening to this after reading the books makes it much more emotional. What an amazing story
I'm in the middle of reading blood of elves and it has made a huge change on how much I respect ciri for going through the training of becoming a witcher.
@@weinteruptth.1479 I'm on the final pages of the lady of the lake. What an amazing saga. I advice not to get spoiled. It has too many plot twists
No matter how many times I listen to this song, it never gets any less powerful ^_^
One of my favorite songs ever
Thanks for uploading
Gladly! :)
This song is one of those pieces of art that makes you tear up a little if you allow yourself to just fall into it. Happens for me every time.
i played the game from an old save (more than 4 hours) of game play again just to get to this point of the game where i'd leave the controller and just daydream with this song.
This part was always one of my favourites in the story the songs holds alot of secret meaning behind it.
On my second playthrough after my 100% clear I did a speedrun for a bugged trophy (at the time) and the this was the only cutscene I didn't skip...
I had chills when I first saw this in game. I almost weeped. Was fucking great moment. 2021 Witcher season 2!
I just realised, the song kind of mentions Geralt and Yennefer, the whole "Wolf" thing as Geralt is know as the "White Wolf" and got taught at the school of the wolf.

She also can use stormy magic

This caught me completely off guard the first time and held me captivated from start to finish.
I am impressed. Beautiful.
It's a truly beautiful love song .
The depth of creativity out into this game is beyond imagination. I'm listening to this song in the game for the first time as I write this. Just wow.
i don't play computer games. but i love this song. i'm arranging this song to sing and play on my harp today.
Is Priscilla crying at the end? Gosh that almost made me cry (I have cried during this song before but I heard a different version)
At this point-any witcher song is and will be a masterpiece-intended or not.
If my fiancee doesn't sing this song in the Weeding Ceremony,
I will prefer to be single forever.
Bro chill xD drugs dont really give you a fiancee
I don't think even future witcher games will live up to the legacy this game has set. Its jst a masterpiece. I'm playing witcher 3 currently and jst the thought that no other game will be as perfect as this makes me sad. This game is emotion
Wish I could write stuff like this.
You can!
Thanks :)
You should!
Actualy the song about geralt and yen but i loved priscilla
Beautiful🎼💖
I love this song .
Best song in a game EVER
That was the moment I decided to choose Yen for my first playthrough. When there are songs about your love to another person, you’re meant to be together
had a glass of whiskey while watching this masterpiece
0:29
When I first heard this song whilst playing the game my thoughts immediately went to Geralt and Yen, it is beautiful.
The vocalist I believe is the sister of Tom Hiddleston.
Wow this is nice indeed
The truth is this song make dandillion become best bard of the witcher universe.when we met first time the master mirror" gaunder of dimm" in white orchard he mention about this ballad
i do cry when 1st time listen to this in gameplay...
this song brought a tear to my eyes and considering what happens to her, my fury was justified as I brutally killed that priest of the eternal flame
blackvial It wasn't the priest. He didn't do it.
Better reload that shit, man. You haven't avenged Priscilla.
I came exactly to say what these guys said. Just like you on the first playthrough I killed the priest the minute I laid eyes on him. Currently on second playthrough, decided to have a little chitchat with him first. And oh shit.
Hope you already avenged that poor girl. We all owe her.
