"Bury My Mother Pale and Slight" | Myla's Song
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2022
- "The great gates have been sealed. None shall enter. None shall leave." An interpretation of Myla's song based on the tune she hums. With additional verses, and a chorus inspired by Hollow Knight's main theme. Sung by me (at 2am) (with a cold) (also I am not a trained singer by any means) - that said, I'm actually pretty happy with how this turned out!
Context: When the city was condemned, were the miners still in Crystal Peak left outside? Did they wonder what happened to their families left within? Did they sing for them? For the knight and dreamers whose memorial they may once have seen? For the desperate hope for a brighter future? Even just a chance to mourn?
Additional Context: The really fun thing about rounds is how one by one the voices inevitably die off until there is only one remaining. :)

[Responses to FAQ below.] I'm still entirely blown away by how many people liked this - thank you all so much! My relationship with my voice is complicated to say the least, and it took a good bit of encouragement to put this out where people could see it (not to mention that it was recorded on a 10-year-old laptop's built-in mic by an amateur who was pausing to hack up his lungs between verses at the time - which is to say, uh, the quality could _definitely_ be better).
→ *_Will you put this on Spotify?_* In theory, I'd very much like to! Unfortunately, the process of getting a song on Spotify as an independent creator is... complicated, to say the least. (See the bottom of this FAQ for more details here.)
→ *_Can I make a cover/animation/literally anything along this line?_* Oh gosh, absolutely, have at it, y'all are amazing, _please_ send me a link if you do.
Speaking of which...
→ ...Might I direct you to this wonderful animatic by Valen-0: ruclips.net/video/v5GMd_sTz1g/видео.html
→ ...And this haunting cover by orionidess: peregrineggsandham.tumblr.com/post/730275365701943296/oh-my-god
→ *_Can we get sheet music?_* Yes! A very, _very_ rough copy can be found here: drive.google.com/file/d/13GdkkPtj-qaxW1mr6dfEXyJ535_umCn-/view?usp=sharing -- It's rather messy; the recording's harmonies were all done sort of on the fly, and I don't currently have access to the laptop it was made on, so this was done by ear and by memory (and it includes a couple of things not technically in the recording, like places where I _would_ have had another part mirroring the melody up one octave... if I had the vocal range for it). *Edit*: My musical theory is shoddy at best, but thanks to brandonschwaiger4495 for confirming that it's in the key of C♯ minor.
→ *_Who does X lyric represent?_* For the first two verses? Who knows! Those are Myla's original lines, and they're entirely up to interpretation. (There's been a lot of discussion about them in the comments - take a look, it's neat.) For the later verses, in order: Traitor Lord; his daughter and Ze'mer; Sly, Oro, Mato, and Sheo; Nailsmith; Bretta (or Quirrel - see below); Tiso; Monomon; Lurien; Herrah; either the Pale King or the Radiance (or the Knight, or you-the-player)... depending on who you blame. For what it's worth, I don't see these lyrics as _literally_ referring to these characters - the miners would have never known Oro, for instance - but rather to a set of sort of... folk-song archetypes. The role they play. A fool, a traitor, a sage with three sons. Nameless, faceless, and buried.
[Note: While I'd initially meant it to be Bretta, someone suggested the "writer" could also mean Quirrel - I love that idea! Quirrel wasn't explicitly referenced only because I try to avoid thinking about his fate. :') ]
→ *_Does the "ask them thrice?" line reference talking to Tiso before his death?_* Yeah. I personally met Tiso three times in-game before finding him in KE. :) In retrospect, some people pointed out that the same could be said for the Nailsmith - had I realized this, I'd probably have made the second line of that verse reference Cloth instead, to complete the "Talk to them a bunch and then they die" trifecta. Ah, well.
→ *_Will you make more things like this?_* No idea! This was utterly spontaneous. Have I written a folk song based off of the tune Cornifer hums? Yes. Am I likely to record it and upload it to be heard by the faceless masses? Uncertain. Possibly. Having a harder time with harmonies for that one. We'll see.
→ *_You mentioned more details regarding Spotify?_*_ Right, so, as I'm not part of any record label, I'd need to go through a music distributor to upload a song there. Having looked into that process, this would require more time and effort than I'm currently willing to spend. It's not a question of copyright - Man On The Internet's _Hollow Knight_ songs are on Spotify, so I'm pretty sure this falls under fair use - just an issue of administration. This is a fun fansong made in my spare time, and while getting it on Spotify for the sake of the people who've wanted to listen to it there _would_ be lovely, I haven't yet had the energy and drive to seriously work towards that. But hey, never say never!
→ *_I found the secret hidden 1% opacity Zote._* No idea what you're talking about.
Omfg ok I can have mental peace that I CAN do an animation-
Btw: I’LL BE THE HAPPIEST PERSON IF YOU COULD PUT IT ON SPOTIFY but o well, understandable if u can’t, putting a song in Spotify OBVIOUSLY isn’t easy
honestly you imply the cold hindered your voice but i think it gave it a certain rasp that helped the song
great work on the song
@@unarandom597look at my previous comment!
you can't notice that you had to pause, the editing is good. don't think there's anything to complain about it. its Excellent!
i think the mic quality helped with the song's wispy/airy aura
Aside from seeing Myla chipping away, I also imagined a group of people with shovels that are digging large gravepits in rhythm of the song as with a line of people carrying a body or bodies that represent each lyrical line of the song to throw in the pit and themselves after, still singing. And during the chorus as it start to segue into the next verse, the pit of the previous verse is covered while the next pit is dug up. As for the outro, the diggers part ways revealing a large number of largely dug grave pits.

@@xxGreenRobloxyou can't subscribe to a video☝️🤓
i love how you turned this into a song the Miners likely made after the city of tears was sealed, singing about greiving all of those trapped below as the Radiance's influence drives them mad through the crystals. its all so subtle, brilliant and fitting
Myla: I bet you have a beautiful singing voice!
The knight, who can't talk: _internal screams_
It's wholesome in a sad way. It feels like, knowing they will all die, she tries to remember them all. To remember her family and the songs.
Notice how conifer wasn’t included, that’s because he’s impossible to beat in a fight.
Then what is the lyrics "Bury the writer with a broken heart" refer to. conifer is a beloved character so if you had to bury him it would be with a broken heart
@@AnnieScott-vd9skThe writer likely refers to Bretta, not Cornifer because he doesn't write, but she does

The fact I immediately knew the "Bury the sage with his sons all three" line is in reference to Sly; Oro, Mato and Sheo is a bit shocking given my tiredness rn
Only ones I knew instantly was:
The traitor and his daughter
The lady lovely and pale
The smith and his blood soaked art
The Fool with their shield stained red
The three dreamers and the pale king
The subtle jab at the fact we didn't know if Tiso was dead or not until the Godmaster DLC really sells how much effort was put into these lyrics. This is so well done, and it pops up in my recommended right at the time when I was curious about what the missing lyrics could've been like.
Wait where
@@keenan1478 "Bury the fool with their shield stained red, But ask them thrice to be sure that they are dead."
@@drakath5727 o thanks
We did know for a fact that he was dead long before Godmaster came out, as you can find his corpse in Kingdom's Edge. Godmaster just gave us more clear confirmation on what killed him, being the Brooding Mawlek.
@@drakath5727 I think it just refers to the fact you have to meet Tiso at least thrice to see them dead.
Once you hear the Radiance's roar after Myla's death scream, YOU. CAN'T. UNHEAR. IT! Aka I had the fear of God instilled in me.
Came up with some more verses today:
_Bury the daughter with her needle fine,_
_Bury the bee who gave her a spine,_
_Bury the tree who raised her well,_
_And bury the spider who gave birth to her shell._
_Bury the elder, wise and old,_
_Bury the couple mapping caverns cold,_
_Bury the poet in her lovestuck dreams,_
_Then bury her lover who is not what he seems._
_Bury the businessman in fungal shroom,_
_Bury the warrior marching to her doom,_
_Bury the thief in her pool of light,_
_Then when you're done, bury me by their side._
Bars
@@ThatDavidOne ...sorry?
@@tarvoc746 they're great lines and tie in excellent with the story, so I said bars because this is fire
@@ThatDavidOne Thanks. 😃
@@tarvoc746 Wish they were included in the real song
My guesses as to which character each of the new lines is supposed to be referencing.
"Oh, bury the traitor marred by pride"
The Traitor Lord.
"Bury his daughter at her lover's side"
The Traitor Lord's daughter, the Grey Mourner's lost love.
"Bury the sage and his sons all three"
Nailsage Sly and his three apprentices.
"Oh, bury the Smith and his blood-soaked art"
The Nailsmith.
"Bury the writer with a broken heart"
This is most likely Bretta, who has a crush on the Vessel (and later on Zote if he is saved by the Vessel) to the point of writing fanfiction about them, but later grows disillusioned with them both and leaves. She's not really "heartbroken" though, as realizing what a phony Zote is makes her realize that she needs to work to find love rather than waiting for it to fall into her lap, and subsequently leaves Dirtmouth to go on her own adventure. But I guess there may not have been more accurate words that would have fit into the song easily. "Lovesick heart," maybe?
"Bury the fool with their shield stained red"
Tiso, who wielded a shield and dies at the Colosseum of Fools.
"Oh, bury the teacher in her hallowed hall,
bury the watcher in his tower tall,
bury the beast in her silken cave,"
The three Dreamers; Monomon the Teacher, Lurien the Watcher, and Herrah the Beast.
"Then bury the one who dug their graves."
The Pale King, probably.
In the last one I think more in The Radiance,before you ask me why,is because The 3 Dreemers where needed to deafet her,and well-we know what happened next xd
Edit:And The Pale King I think it was more in the verse of “Bury the beggar with his shinning crown” And well- The Pale *King*
The background is faint, but I think it hints of which character is talked about in the verse. While “Bury the one who dug their graves.” was being played, we see the king, or at least what’s left of him.
Notice how Zote is never mentioned. This is because he is perfect and will never die.
@@ungatov401 the last one is probably more than one character, with the plural “graves”.
The traitor might also be Xero but thats a shot in the dark
None shall enter, none shall leave;
The King has sealed our kin.
But we yet breathe, unite, and grieve,
And sing for those within.
Gates will open, we take hope.
And mourn ‘til the morning comes.
Soon the Knight will bring the day;
It’s this the Crystal hums!
Oh, bury my mother, pale and slight.
Bury my father with his eyes shut tight.
Bury my sisters two by two.
And then when you’re done, let’s bury me too!
Oh, bury the knight with her broken nail.
Bury the lady, lovely and pale.
Bury the priest in his tattered gown,
Then bury the beggar with his shining crown!
None shall enter, none shall leave;
The King has sealed our kin.

@@user-dt8fr4up6j ‘twas an honor
the inclusion of bretta is hilarious. all these legendary figures and some random unfortunate who wandered into the caverns
This is a really nice cover of Myla's theme. The multiple voices work really well, as well as the pickaxes in the background. The lyrics work well with the original tune. Sorta makes me want to do a cover.
Bury my body, cover my shell.
(Dig for yourself a grave as well.)
What meaning in darkness? Yet here I remain.
I'll wait here forever, 'til light blooms again!
In all seriousness! Brilliant cover! I absolutely love it and am sad I missed it going up on RUclips! Perfect!

The fact that you can hear the radiance's voice get slightly louder the more you go into the song just to signify the workers getting infected is just, *CHEF'S KISS*
This is by far the best interpretation of Myla's song I've heard IMO, I can't stop listening to it
I wanted to ask, could I make an animatic for this?
Oh my goodness, absolutely!

Hows the animatic going?

@@Amalgemotion I've also been thinking that would be a fun thing to try (some day) with your permission.
I found my next song to be obsessed over-
update: i’ve officially memorized all the lyrics
@@christophersun same
@@christophersunsame I was singing it in my head during my co op today lol
Same
Haven't seen anyone mention it so ima put it out there. I think the "One who dug their graves" might be The Knight.
They fit the description of The one who bured the Dreamers and it would be thematic for the song to end with the death of the Main Character. Also this song feels faintly infection-friendly so calling for the death of the Radiance would be a bit off.
Either way, thats what i think. This song is a masterpiece
could also be the pale king, but this is actually a pretty interesting interpretation
Pale king seems more of the one who dug their graves, but I also think he’s the beggar in the shining crown
Ah, good. Time to listen to this on repeat for the next three days as the Hollow Knight brain rot consumes me once again.
Sneaky Zote at around 1:52
Great work! Literally gives me chills. Definitely my favorite interpretation of the song.
Where
@@SkullTheLeglesslisten very closely
it's not visual, it's an auditory reference to Zote
@@SkullTheLegless listen closely. He sings along with other miners, and he is also present in the background of the video itself.
I just realized the three references in one of the verses (massive spoilers ahead)
of course there are more but this struck me as the coolest
"Bury the smith with his blood-soaked art" - Nailsmith
"Bury the writer with a broken heart" - Bretta probably
"Bury the Fool with their shield stained red" - Tiso
all of which are characters that *may or may not* die in the game in some way, depending on your actions - "Ask them thrice to be sure that they are dead!"
(yes I'm aware Bretta never actually dies, but she is partially Infected when you first find her. thus, if the Infection is not destroyed/contained and the player does not fond her, Bretta would become fully Infected. though we never see those circumstances in-game.)
(also, Tiso can be kept from dying if you just never go to the Colosseum)
"bury the Fool with their shield stained red" - Tiso
If you noticed in the backgroumd on the fool you see Tiso's name, meaning they were talking to him
@@Snt1_ thanks!
@@Ollisaa6095 thank you!
@@Snt1_it actually appears all of them, you just gotta turn the brightness to high and look carefully
Nailsmith - Nail upgrading animation
Bretta - Grey Prince Zote start
Tiso - Interaction with The Knight
WHAT this is SO COOL
The singing is great, sounds very ghostly and that's such a vibe for this song in particular :D and the added parts fit *seamlessly* with the original bits we get in the game!!!
I actually need to ask, hypothetically, do you think I could use some of this (probably one of the verses that are already in the game) for a short hollow knight animation/animatic/pmv?
Thank you so much! And absolutely feel free.

Восхитительный перевод!
очень вольный перевод, но прикольно
круто!!!
the children giggling in the "bury my sisters two by two" in the beginning made me actually think i was hallucinating to this
Interesting framing with this song being basically the radiance hit list.
Working with this idea I’d like to decipher the og lyrics and who all it’s referring to
Oh bury my mother pale and slight
Bury my father with his eyes shut tight
Bury my sisters 2 by 2
And then when your done let’s bury me too
Every single bug,mothers fathers, brothers and sisters will die for having forgotten the radiance
Weirdest inconsistency is sisters specifically but myla is the one singing it and it would be very simple to change the lyric depending on what siblings you have, so maybe myla only has sisters.
Bury the knight with her broken nail
Either the vessel if the radiance could figure out the HKs lost gender since they are a knight with a broken nail .
and even being the new infection point of the radiance, the radiance would probably still prefer not to be sealed in her ancient primordial enemy
It’s either that or hornet at which point it’s asking for the death of the pale kings only living child.
And I guess the broken nail is to say that both her and her weapon are broken.
Bury the lady lovely and pale
White lady. Pretty simple
Bury the priest in his tattered gown
It’s the wrong gender but I’m going to take a bet at the seer
The only remaining moth Kin that betrayed the radiance
And the tattered gowns might be referring to either the idea that the seer cast away their holy wear.
That or that the seers clothes are quite old at this point( hard to tell due to the seer never being seen that well.)
It’s either that or miss prophet for some reason
Bury the beggar in his shingling crown
The pale king
Shining crown is the most obvious connector and I’d say he’s a beggar because
1.the radiance refuses to acknowledge him as a king
2. Maybe it’s refuting to the way the pale king begged the dreamers to help him
All speculation but still pretty cool idea to further it by literally demanding every remaining living creature in hollow nest be buried
Including subtle noises like the crystal guardian's shrieks was a really nice detail
I am really into shanties in general but each time I try my hand at them it turns weird. This is absolutely great, teach me your wayss
I think the song gave me brainrot, it's so so so good. How did I not find this before?
To make a little light of the situation, you being sick kind of fits the theme of a miners song, as I can't imagine the respiratory systems of the miners work particularly well with crystal dust in them. ;)
They've got crystal lung
BRAVO! BRAVO!
If time travel ever becomes a thing, I hope a team goes back and sings your arrangement in medieval times to mess with folks.
Oml yes!! A cover that goes with the beat of the pickaxe! And it's so good too!
All the others that I've found are much slower and that's not bad but it's not the good thumping of the pickaxe that I imagine for it.
Gotta love how the worsened voice from the cold adds to this song so much.
came here from tumblr, THIS IS LITERALLY SO COOL!!! it kinda reminds me of the misty mountains song that the dwarves sing in the hobbit just from the sort of harmonies and the mood, love it so so much
there’s a few references that there’s no way the miners would have known about, but I have personally decided that this is 90% cannon
Amazing
I love this and especially the ask them thrice to be sure that theyre dead verse,showing 3 of the characters who you can change the fate of
I don't know why, but I came up with a few verses on my own:
Oh, bury the the vessel with a mind to think.
Bury the vessel with a will to break.
Burry the vessel with a voice to cry,
A voice to cry their suffering.
Oh bury the sisters who resist the light.
Bury the daughter with her shell of white.
Bury the master who abused his right.
And bury the seeker who was lost to night.
Oh, bury the lady who played her part.
Bury the king with a bleeding heart.
Bury the tribute, the one who failed,
And bury the ghost, the child of pale.
I love this song so much btw you did amazing :D
I also heard Myla's death cry and the Radiance shriek. Nice touch.
If we were to get into other games
Bury the builder with his blood stained art
Bury the master with his profaned part
Bury the king with his reign of tears
His subjects will plead “it’s been five years”
Instead of reign of tears it should be
Bury the king, who claims “change is near”
Bury the architect challenge-tried
Bury his challenge seeking lover by his side
Bury the writer of what chose brings, who’s every word is heeded by the king.
What game is this?
@creativename3996 it’s Geometry Dash
Let me try one:
Oh, bury the queens in their fortress great
Bury the liar full of hate
Bury the dreamers in their metal frames
And once we're done, we'll bury the plague
Damn, this makes me wish they went with this tune in Hallownest Vocalized. I like the one they went with, but damn, this is really good.
1:27 I think it’s drya, the white lady, soul master and crystal guardian
2:09 traitor lord, his daughter, sly and sheo, oro, and mato
2:25 the nailsmith, bretta, tiso
3:07 the 3 dreamers and the pale king
This is just my opinion
I was just trying to do some mindless work whilst listening to whatever RUclips wanted to play next. (Hoping it doesn't repeat the same freaking music videos). But then, that familiar little tune... i soon began to hum along to the crystal hums.
This is utterly underrated, capturing that feel of folklore within the game itself. And as miners, it makes sense that they only have slight discriptions of those within the very same kingdom. Yet, they know that they are as much stuck within the walls just like themselves.
Love it~
This may single-handedly be the best fan work of Hollow Knight ever made- Banger shanty which is accurate to the lore and answers the question nobody asked about Myla’s singing. I love it.
This is seriously so good. I'm a hardcore HK fan- how have I not stumbled upon this before? This feels so... authentic! The leitmotifs are there! You can tell the singer is well-versed with the lore. You can't tell he has a cold and is singing at two am with his 10-year-old laptop. This feels like it should be a part of the OST, but Hallow-Nest-ese. ;)
Keep being awesome!
Found this last night and have listened to it way too many times already, this is gonna be stuck in my head forever lmao
This in my opinion is one of the best adaptations of myla's song simply because it fits hollow knight's atmosphere
by far the best interpretation of the myla song
I came as soon is I saw the update post!!! Just gotta say (again) that this is AMAZING and by far my favorite hollow knight related song :D

Oh, bury the knight with her broken nail,
Bury the lady, lovely and pale,
Bury the priest in his tattered gown,
Then bury the beggar with his shining crown!
None shall enter, none shall leave
The king has sealed our kin
But we yet breathe, unite, and grieve
And sing for those within.
Gates will open, we take hope
And mourn 'till morning comes.
Soon the night will bring the day
It's this the crystal hums!
Oh, bury the traitor marred by pride,
Bury his daughter at her lover's side,
Bury the sage and his sons all three,
But save by their grave a space for me!
Oh, bury the sage and his blood-soaked art,
Bury the writer with a broken heart,
Bury the fool with their shield stained red,
But ask them thrice to be sure that they are dead!
None shall enter, none shall leave
The king has sealed our kin
But we yet breathe, unite, and grieve
And sing for those within.
Gates will open, we take hope
And mourn 'till morning comes.
Soon the night will bring the day
It's this the crystal hums!
Oh, bury the teacher in her hallowed hall,
Bury the watcher in his tower tall,
Bury the beast in her silken cave,
Then bury the one who dug their graves.
MA-NA-NA, MI-NE-NA, YE-MI-YE-TA
MA-NA-NA, MI-NE-NA, YO-NA-LA
(KE-TI-YA) MA-NA-NA, MI-NE-NA, YE-MI-YE-TA
MA-NA-NA, MI-NE-NA, YE-LE-KO
(just for me! also AWESOME SONG!!! total earworm :))
YESS ITS ON RUclips!!! Good sir I’m going to listen to this for the next many hours oh my goodness
The vibes are immaculate
Your voice, lyrics, all of it is absolutely incredible thank you so much for sharing your creation!!!!
The fact that this song is so relaxing despite what is being sung very well done
the musicality of including the rounds on the lines that have repeating phrases (describing everyone's deaths) gave me so many chills! I've always liked playing and singing rounds like that in my music classes, and it's not often anymore that I hear them in music, so this was awesome! I love this interpretation of myla's song!!
this is such a great song, i love how you managed to capture the original melody and put it into an actual, functional round. the performance is great despite your illness, you really managed to imbue it with the spirit of a worksong - it sounds like a chorus of miners, all carrying this tune while they mindlessly hollow the mountain. bravo!
I’m a year late but I LOVE the overlapping lyrics, it’s SO good, I love how it sounds like an actual song the miners would sing to themselves while mining the crystals!!
"Oh, bury my mother, pale and slight" - White Lady, right?
"Bury my father with his eyes shut tight" - Pale King?
"Bury my sisters two by two" - Hornet? Maybe a reference to her two fights in the game.
"Bury the knight with her broken nail" - Dryya?
"Bury the lady, lovely and pale" - definitely the White Lady, but then who is the mother in the beginning? Maybe she's referenced twice?
"Bury the priest in his tattered gown" - no idea. My guesses would be Moss Prophet, Jiji, Seer or Elder Hu, but I'm not sure.
"Then bury the beggar with his shining crown!" - again, no idea. My best guess would be Leg Eater, since he mentions becoming king, but I also thought about Milibelle, Fluke Hermit and even that fountain with the pale king statue where you throw geo.
Someone, please help!
The first verse(until "bury me too") is probably personal, everything after is probably about important people
My guesses, starting at "bury the knight with her broken nail":
Dryya
White lady
Elder hu(iirc the mushroom place is close to peaks + he was likely the most active priest in the game while he was alive)
Pale king ig? Honestly a bad guess for "beggar in his shining crown"
Traitor lord
Traitor's child+Ze'mer(gray mourner)
Sly+Oro, Mato, Sheo
Nailsmith
Cornifer(oh, wait, bad guess)
Tiso
Monomon the teacher
Lurien the teacher
Herrah the beast
Pure vessel/hollow knight OR Pale King
Lord God Almighty this is so *haunting*
Seeing this so much later, but I need to express appreciation for something I haven't seen mentioned in the comments yet.
The lyrics that refer to the player character and/or the Hollow Knight can work for both, and have very different interpretations.
The Radiance-infested crystals hum about the (Hollow) Knight that will bring the day, the Light. But on another level, there are prophecies of a Wielder that will bring a more metaphorical day, the end of this torment, the Knight.
The fact Myla's scream and the Radiance lines up with the knight coming and bringing the day could support both.
And then in the Dreamers' verse the One who dug their grave has even more simultaneous meanings. The Pale King is the one that concocted that scheme, the Hollow Knight and Radiance the reason it was set up in the first place, and then the Knight is the one to put them in their grave.
I've seen much speculation and interpretation on who's referred to in this comment section for these parts, but the most striking part is that it's both at once, reinforcing the parallels in the game and story.
Great work there!
I know this song is a year old, but…
You can tell who the song is referring to from the background. Its easier to see with high brightness, you can see the traitor lord fight when it says “Bury the traitor, marred by pride” and then the grave in the queens gardens at “Bury his daughter at her lovers side”. “Bury the sage and his sons all three”, shows Slys shop, and the next line shows the animation for training with Oro and Mato (And its in beat with the music!). “Bury the smith with his blood soaked art” shows the animation for upgrading your weapon (The strikes are also in line with the music). “Bury the writer with a broken heart” has the knight landing in Bretta’s dream, (and you land also in beat with the song, its great). “Bury the fool with his shield stained red” has Tiso talking with the knight at the well in dirtmouth.
Each of the dreamers lines has them where they are found in game and “bury the one who dug their graves” is the white palace, where you find the Pale King.
100% the best adaptation of Mylas song, this needs more attention, its amazing!
The fact they managed to make parts of the songs tune incorporate the main theme is just genius
WE NEED AN ANIMATION OF THIS MASTERPIECE
This is one of my favourite songs ever. It reaches straight to the heart and perfectly encapsulates the atmosphere of the Hollow Knight.
The singing done here is just so impressive, the fact that you can make it sound so convincingly like one miner starts singing and the others pick up on and only join in on the chorus, as well as the few who lag behind while singing, give yourself a pat on the back and a cookie for this one
I’ve listened to this a lot so theory time:
*”Bury the knight with her broken nail”* probably refers to hornet, considering that the rest of the verse refers to her family (except herrah, who’s referred to later) and that she’s a warrior (the sentinel) which might be mistaken for a knight. This might also possibly refer to the knight, who actually had a broken nail at the start of the game but that seems less likely.
*”Bury the lady, lovely and pale”* white lady, I don’t think I have to explain this one.
*”Bury the priest in his tattered gown”* I think this one might refer to the hollow knight (or more accurately, the pure vessel), as PV is the only family member who’s gown could be considered tattered and their devotion and commitment to the pale king could have them be considered priest-like.
*”Bury the beggar in his shining crown”* the pale king, one of the only two beings depicted with a crown (the other being the radiance, who the song seems to depict positively). Him being cast as a beggar might refer to his desperate attempts to stop the infection but it could also just be an insult.
I specify the pure vessel because the hollow knight seems to be depicted positively in the “soon the knight shall bring the day” line, but that may also refer to the knight rather than the hollow knight (which is why I think the first line discussed refers to hornet rather than them).
2:15 The traitor marred by pride is the gray mourner’s lover, the sage and sons all 3 are Sly, Mato, Oro, and Sheo.
The traitor is the traitor lord and her daughter. Your right about the sage tho
ok but who is "the writer with a broken heart" that's the only reference i didn't understand. it's not cornifer, i don't think it's quirrel, mask maker doesn't make sense, maybe the hunter??? cause he's got an empty heart (maybe) and he writes in the hunters journal?
@@Phantasmans that's bretta
That’s Bretta, she writes poetry and thinks you broke her heart@@Phantasmans
@@TtBeam His. The traitor lord was the only brother.
Holy crap this is actually really catchy. I was taping my foot to the beat the whole time
Jeez what a banger, we do need a looping version :D
THIS SO GOOOOOD
This sounds like a chanty. ... And I love it!
Dude, best variation to this song ive heard. You did wonderfully
I love how it mentions a ton of the NPCs in this. It's great attention to detail and I love it.
SOOOO COOOL
I lost this for a while and was so upset until someone reclogged it on Tumblr ! Such a treat!
i got chills this is so good :o
this is just FANTASTIC, I have listened to this multiple times in the last. day? 24 hours? your voice is really really good here as is your singing and I love how you layered it and the lyrics are cool as hell and its just. Awesome, I hope you have a wonderful 2024!
How dare this not be not Spotify
this goes hard
The harmonyyyssss and unisooonnnsss ❤❤ THE PICKAXE
This is so good.
There's lots of great phrase turning, but one that really stuck out for some reason was "mourn until morning comes".
Just had such a satisfying rhythm to it.
i love that the background footage changes depending on the lyric, thats such a cool touch
Bury my mother pale and slight: white lady
Bury my father whith his eyes shut tight: pale king
Bury my sisters two by two: all the vessels in the abyss
An then when you are done lets bury me to: the knight
Bury the knight with a broken nail: the hollow knight
Bury the lady lovely and pale: hornet
Bury the priest in his tattered gown: soul tyran
Bury the beggar with his shining crown: crystal guardian
Bury the traitor marred by pride: traitor lord
Bury his daugther at her lover's side: traitor lord's daugter and grey mourner lover
Bury the sage and his sons are three: sly, oro, mato and sheo
Bury tje smith and his blood-soaked art: the nailsmith
Bury the writer with a broken heart: bretta
Bury the fool with their shield stained red: tiso
Bury the teacher in her hallowed hall: monomon
Bury the watcher in his tower tall: lurien
Bury the beast in her silken cave: herrah
Bury the one who dug their graves: radiance
Actually the knight with the broken nail is referred to as "her" whereas the hollow knight/pure vessel is never referred to with gendered pronouns
Im pretty sure the second verse is the royals - the beggar with a broken crown could be king or radiance
The last one is the gravedigger in dirthmouth
@@mintw4241Yeah I think you're right, the beggar line seems like miners making fun of their king. And 'lady lovely and pale' like brother, that's literally White Lady the Pale Being lol
this masterpiece deserves a billion views
😶🌫😶🌫
lyrics, in case anyone needs them!
none shall enter, none shall leave

and sing for those within
gates will open: we take hope
and mourn till 'morning comes.

It's this the crystal hums!
oh, bury my mother, pale and slight,

then bury the one who dug their graves.
Thank you for the only translation in English
thank you alot!
love this song and how most of the references are characters, the only one i cant figure out is the priest in his tattered gown.
It could be the Snail Shaman because he’s the most “priest” character I can think of, but it could also be Confessor Jiji,also a “priest” character
I always thought that this line was referencing Soul Master, he's wearing some kind of a robe after all. But it seems to be exactly that, since then the whole verse is referencing Pale King's court (Dryya, White Lady, Soul Master and himself, in that order).
This is criminally underrated
this song will now be stuck in all the little stories i make in my mind, atleast with the hk ones. this actually feels like it fits inside the story instead of youtube
this makes me think of Ring around a rosies
A pocket full of posies
What the actual crap why did it take me an entire YEAR to stumble across this absolute masterpiece-
UNDERRATED AF MAN THIS VIDEO NEEDS TO BE SEEN BY A LOT OF PEOPLE
This song gives me shivers it is amazing
You Have A Beautiful Voice
i love this i've been looking for something like this for a while
Why had i never realized this is the pov of the bugs trapped OUTSIDE of hallownest
I listen to this like at least once a week. If it was on Spotify I would genuinely listen to it so much.
these lyrics are actually incredible
Ok a las personas que lo quieren en español:
(Instrumental)
Ninguno entrará
Ninguno saldrá,
El rey selló a nuestros familiares
Pero seguimos respirando
Unidos y en llanto
Y cantando para ellos
Las puertas se abrirán,tomamos esperanza
Y lamentar hasta el amanecer
Pronto el caballero traerá el día
Esto es lo que murmullan los cristales
Oh entierra a mi madre pálida y ligera
Entierra a mi padre con sus ojos bien cerrados
Entierra a mis hermanas 2 por 2
Y cuando termines,entiérrame también!
Oh entierra a la guerrera y su aguijón roto
Entierra a la dama hermosa y pálida
Entierra al sacerdote y su túnica rasgada
Después entierra al que ruega de corona brillante
Ninguno entrará
Ninguno saldrá,
El rey selló a nuestros familiares
Pero seguimos respirando
Unidos y en llanto
Y cantando para ellos
Las puertas se abrirán,tomamos esperanza
Y lamentar hasta el amanecer
Pronto el caballero traerá el día
Esto es lo que murmullan los cristales
Oh entierra al traidor cegado por el orgullo
Entierra a su hija del lado de su amante
Entierra al maestro y a sus tres hijos
Pero guarda espacio para mi tumba
Oh entierra al forjador y a su sangriento arte
Entierra a la escritora con el corazón roto
Entierra al tonto y su escudo brillando en rojo
Pero pregúntales triple para estar seguros de que murieron
Ninguno entrará
Ninguno saldrá,
El rey selló a nuestros familiares
Pero seguimos respirando
Unidos y en llanto
Y cantando para ellos
Las puertas se abrirán,tomamos esperanza
Y lamentar hasta el amanecer
Pronto el caballero traerá el día
Esto es lo que murmullan los cristales…
Oh entierra a la maestra en su pasillo vacío
Entierra al vigía en su alta torre
Entierra a la bestia en su cueva enrredada
Después entierra al que cavo sus tumbas!
(Final instrumental)
