Fun fact; they did a take where Geoff was included in the Fus Roh Dah but they couldn't use the take because the camera got sent halfway across Whiterun.
@@seamus2015 You don’t have to be DovahKiin to steal the voice of a Dragon. You just have to have mastery of magic. Geoff could be a battleMage with that hammer 🤷🏻♂️
I see someone studied at the Bard's College. Edit: One year later, and I still get chills. My favorite part is when they Shout/sing "Fus Ro Dah" and Eli just carries that "Dah" straight on into the song. SOOOO good.
I was thinking about that song when I saw Laynes outfit. Was that repurposed from the outfit from My Mother Told me? Fur is dyed black but looks so similar.
I love how Laynes character, sitting in the back, lets us know without any fuss that he is dragonborn. No yelling, just the release of the smoke.. Quietly stating he is one of them
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
and the DragonBorn Comes 🥰 *But seriously, that sucks dude. I'm so Sorry you're having to deal with that. Hopefully Geoff's Immense Range will Shed Some Light Your Way❤🔥
This whole video is phenomenal, but that ending… The way they’re all stepping toward the camera. Like a D&D adventuring party setting out. Love it. Also totally nerded out when they threw the shout in.
Heck, I've had Skyrim parties that big before, thanks to multiple-follower mods like EFF. And yah, they really knocked this one out of the park! The Bards College could really learn a thing or two from these guys... 😁
I was looking for a main menu replacer for Skyrim this morning and saw this mod that was uploaded on the 3rd.. It had a link to this page, so I clicked on to preview the song. Now I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes after listening to the most awesome rendition of "the dragonborn comes" I have ever heard. VoicePlay RULES!
Skyrim has been near and dear to my heart for years now and it has maybe the most epic game soundtrack of all time. Having a VoicePlay cover of this gorgeous song is everything I didn't know I needed. The nostalgia is hitting me hard in the feels. This is now the definitive version of the song to me. And can I just say how much I deeply appreciate you fulling committing to the theme? The set, costuming, acting... just perfect. Thank you guys for treating this song with respect and elevating it to new and awesome heights!
I can't believe how well the facial paint was matched with the character creation tattoos - Just looking at the thumbnail made me drop my jaw from how accurate it is!
IMHO, all the epic parts of the soundtrack don't even rightly belong to Skyrim. Half of Skyrim's soundtrack is a remix from Morrowind. So what you're really praising is a game you may have never even played.
@@Nurk0m0rath Well okay, I guess I'm praising Jeremy Soule since he composed the music for all the Elder Scrolls games ;) This song just happens to be a personal favourite.
This has to be one of my favourite covers by voiceplay. I have not played Skyrim or has intentions to play Skyrim, but I will play this song again and again.
omg.... what happend there.... I'm sorry.... first time for me listening to a voiceplay song, did not know anybody of these guys.... and... I was not ready for this today!.... are you kidding me? took me some other videos to even realize that this is acapella... grew up with boyz 2 men acapella. absolutely unbelievable, arrangement, voices, mixing... 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Yes! The legendary VoicePlay warriors have returned! Edit: We need a VoicePlay Warriors album! With My Mother Told Me, Hoist the Colours, The Dragonborn Comes, Halo, and Warriors (and hopefully more to come). That would be epic! Like if you agree!
The choices of costumes totally fit each the members of VoicePlay, based on previous videos and such. Especially Eli as a Wizard, though they all fit really well.
I've only been listening to Voiceplay for a couple months, But this has to be my new favorite musical arrangement I have ever heard. The very beginning with Geoff and Caesar is just georgous.😌
Pure delight!!! The "Fus Ro Dah!" was such a pleasant surprise and the icing on this perfect rendition of a beloved song. You made an old Skyrim gamer's day! ❤
Too bad he didn't. Oh well, in lore, the Dragonborn can level cities with Fus Ro Dah. I imagine the guys want to come out of the song alive, lol. Geoff is too strong.
An Imperial barbarian, a Dunmer battlemage, a Bosmer archer, a Breton necromancer, and a Nord Jarl hang out in the Palace of Kings ready to belt out a classic. Seriously gentlemen, you have outdone yourselves with this arrangement and performance. Skyrim means so much to so many of us and you have given this song beautiful new life. Thank you VP for all that you do.
I'm not sure there's a necromancer there. Eli appears to be reading an Elder Scroll - which would make him a member of the Order of the Ancestor Moth. ;)
@@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?!
I'm not a gamer and I have no idea about anything from Skyrim, other than this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard! I may not be a gamer, but I'm not a novice to otherworldly aesthetics. Totally mesmerizing and honestly beautiful.
Hello, TH-cam. I am here to start the petition to have VoicePlay arrange and perform an a capella cover of The Bells of Notre Dame from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame. That is all.
Geoff is the Dragonborn, the original. He was an idea that eventually became reality. Stories of his origins and legends give him power. He shares his powers with his most trusted followers. He summons his followers with his voice where they wait to do his bidding. Geoff enters the room looking at his loyal followers and friends and says: It's time, the legend must be told once again.
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.
One of my favorite parts about this is how everyone goes from singing wonderfully to almost march-strutting toward the camera at the end. Omar strikes me the most in that regard, having the final run. This group has always impressed me with their musical ability, but their physical performance in this is some of my favorite in any music video ever.
Literally i began playing skyrim just recently and damn, i just found out my former fav group brought this song out? 😂 I never realized bc when i followed u guys actively i didn't know skyrim yet... But now i do, and damn, great job!
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!!
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 😅
@@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 :)
@Pavel Hranáč @@loganbyrant Oh my god ! 2 different opinions, valid arguments, respect, acknowledgement, no insults, no cancelling, no screaming... what is happening ? The dragonborns really brought the best of peoples.
@@Blackn3t I generally agree -- I feel like VoicePlay intentionally went in a different direction than what I felt was the core style of the song just to be different (and to match their styles of voices). I still liked it in the end, but I can't call it "top" in terms of Dragonborn Comes renditions. Of course, the specific technical content is still fantastic as was noted above.
I’m running a D&D campaign and when I heard this I knew I had to play this as background music when my players got to a tavern! They ended up tipping the bards 150 gold lol.
I have listen to this over and over again for several months now, the only criticism that I have it I wish it was longer. I have, since hearing this, listen to other renditions of this song...they are so not the same. This is magical.
I LOVE the mood of each voice - How Omar's voice sounds so sweet, innocent and brave; and Ely's voice, while singing the same note, sounds sneaky, evil almost, and "up to something."
It is a game that was very immersive, and its soundtrack led a lot of TH-cam artists to make covers of it. If you would like to hear more great covers of one of the best games of all time, just search Skyrim covers in the search bar, sit back....sip some tea/coffee and enjoy!
It's the fifth Elder Scrolls game. The soundtracks for Morrowind (3), Oblivion (4), and Skyrim (5) are all masterpieces and I highly recommend listening to them all. Theres even a Mashup called Morroblivirim that's fantastic.
I have had to play this a few times since yesterday when I found it for the first time. My husband asked me to play it over the big speaker to wake him up this morning. I feel like my soul has been uplifted since hearing this.
This group is so superbly talented! My mind is "Blown"! They have such a wide range, not only vocally, but with the types of music that they do. If I was in their group, I'd be singing Baritone. I used to be a very high Tenor, but I dropped to the Baritone Position, back when I was in High School. That's been ever so long ago...back in the Late 1970s, and into the Early 1980s. God has blessed me with the ability to sing, and I love it!
That's surprisingly easy to learn, tbh. All you need to do is kill the dragon terrorizing Whiterun, learn the word wall at bleak falls barrow, and you're 1/3 of the way there.
The English bits were interesting, but I felt like the arrangement REALLY took off when they shifted to the conlang section! I'm not familiar at all with the game or the group, but those sections really soared for me, and had a unique beauty.
I am honestly crying. This soundtrack is one of the most epic ever made for a game and you guys just took it over the top!!!!! Keep going guys, never stop!!!
Incredible! I knew from the first note that this would be one of my favorite covers. It is simply a work of art. Omar and Eli's voice... my God. Geoff... Holy Christ. YOU ARE SO TALENTED. Cesar, sublime. Layne... I still don't understand how he does all that, but he's great.
You guys have to be the most creative artists I've ever seen. From the makeup/costumes to the arrangements, you always come up with something fresh. I also LOVE that you collaborate with someone else every now and then. I just love you guys!
Fucking hell...just when I thought someone couldn't do another Skyrim cover and actually make it more awesome...you guys come along. Good shit you all.
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!!!
Great version, epic. At the same time light and dreamlike, and dark and gloomy. Just like a game of Skyrim. And great setup and reenactment. Really well done. Cheers from Denmark.
EXCELLENT! Thank you for including the lyrics! Outstanding invented language. Love the costumes, the background and make-up. Love the close harmony! BRAVO!
Everything about this is absolutely phenomenal. The singing, the costuming, directing, the set, it's all so wonderful made! 1000000/10, stellar job! ♡♡♡
@@voldymodert5592 Geoff has said that he can’t do second subs and probably won’t ever be able to, so I’m inclined to believe it’s still a first sub unless he says otherwise somewhere :)
Epic!!! Epic!! My wife just recently performed in a huge choir with symphonic orchestra and THIS SONG was one of featured.. .it was a concert of movie and game music.
I get chills from every song they do ❤ I think they could give Peyton a run for his money ❤😂 I’ll play this song every time I play Skyrim now as I’ve played since it came out 😁the bass is just 😻😻
I just came back from a month long navy underway and listened to voice play all month to get me through, this was nice to come back. Keep making things amazing
I’m a musician playing Japanese traditional instrument, I’ve never known and heard about these great voices and songs. I totally missed my life until last weekend! So amazing!!!
I love Omar's mix into this group. Something about every video he is in is just extra and amazing. This was a sick rendition of a video game song. I love that you guys branch out into so many different genres of music. Love the set and the costumes, as well. Just an incredible set up. Fantastic!
PSA: *Do NOT do what I did* Thinking to appreciate the acoustics of the song as much as possible, I put this video on my home theatre and settled down to enjoy the show. Unfortunately, a pair of lizards that happened to be scurrying around nearby heard it and evolved into dragons, burning down my house as they did so. I barely escaped with my life. To all of you about to watch this video, either use headphones or ensure there are no reptiles within a fifty-metre radius of your setup! 😠😠
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.

Geoff must have taken the voice of a dragon long ago but somehow the others ended up with the voices of angels and sirens.
wait this is the coolest comment ever.
But it couldn't have been Geoff. For we all know that every Dragonborn ends up becoming a Sneaky Archer and there was only one archer there.

You're right about that

A gentle siren
@@huldradraco now you've made me think of that old Roberta Flack song, "Killing Me Softly With His Song." Geoff's voice can have that effect.

Could be me just bassing out, but the like arpeggio that Geoff did by himself at 3:03 is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever heard him do.
10000% agreed. I had to listen to it again, to make sure I hadn't hallucinated it!
Thank you for mentioning that to me....I was too focused on Eli and had missed that!
I totally commented on those amazing arpeggios too!
you're absolutely right
ISN'T IT??
I didn't KNOW I needed a Skyrim mod that replaces the audio for all the shouts with Eli, but I sure do now.
i'll see what i can do
Geoff is more like it, That bass just makes sense
Or a mod that replaces the in game version of "The Dragonborn Comes" with this one!
link mod is exists immediately!!! I was just thinking..this is what I want playing at my court!
@KairiIsWeird no way I'll never make it off the title screen lol
When they sang "My Mother Told Me" I was literally hoping for them to make a rendition of this song and now its here!
I was thinking about that song when I saw Laynes outfit. Was that repurposed from the outfit from My Mother Told me? Fur is dyed black but looks so similar.

I'm not a gamer and I have no idea about anything from Skyrim, other than this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard! I may not be a gamer, but I'm not a novice to otherworldly aesthetics.
Totally mesmerizing and honestly beautiful.
FANTASTIC! Voice Play never disappoints! 100 diamonds out of 100! BRAVO!!
Hello, TH-cam. I am here to start the petition to have VoicePlay arrange and perform an a capella cover of The Bells of Notre Dame from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame. That is all.
Hell yes
Petition absolutely agreed with.
YES!!!!!!!!!
That would be INSANE
Yes, yes, an endless amount of times YES.
Geoff is the Dragonborn, the original. He was an idea that eventually became reality. Stories of his origins and legends give him power. He shares his powers with his most trusted followers. He summons his followers with his voice where they wait to do his bidding.
Geoff enters the room looking at his loyal followers and friends and says: It's time, the legend must be told once again.
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.
Sure seemed that way to me!
Do you see Voiceplay going heavy medal and give them your heavy metal songs request.
I literally thought to myself "I'm gonna look up Voiceplay, haven't seen a vid from them in awhile" and now I see this, I'm ready
Subscribe to the channel and hit the bell icon. You'll receive notices when a new video is going up.
Oh my gosh me too!
FYI: They do at least one vid a month. ;)
@@mbyerly9680 I am subscribed and have the bell on, it just didn't tell me about the set premiere lol
Children tell the truth:
Today my oldest grandson (14 years old) heard Geoff for the first time. He only whispered: This is just perfect.
Much love to you and your family ❤️ it's true, children speak the truth!
@@aubs965по-русски говорят: устами младенца глаголет истина)
Still gives me the chills when Geoff starts the song with that low bass.
They don't understand how important this is to the lore of the Elder Scrolls and Skyrim. This is beautiful in every possible way.
The fact they used character creation in game as reference for all the costuming says they fully understood the assignment
They just get better and better with every video they produce. Waiting to hear the reactions to this one. :) Omar and Cesar really suit those ears!
They'll be epic!!!!
Omar & Cesar make the cutest elves. 😊
*I can't **_believe_** Geoff can sustain that note that long in the beginning!* 😳😮🙀😻
I refer to it as "didgeridoo mode" (can't claim credit for that, but it fits)
as a skyrim fan this is sending chills down my spine and tears down my face
wow why is youtube only JUST showing me this and you guys.. incrediable!
Masterpiece! I believe Geoffs voice has a healing frequency!
Masterpiece! Glory to Omar for his awesome voice control and modulation. Beautiful harmonies again. Welcome to the VoicePlay all stars!
Je ne m'en lasserai jamais, cette formation est parfaite. Je les aime tous les 5. BRAVO depuis la France
I LOVE YOU GUYS ❤❤❤
A Bosmer, a Dunmer, an Imperial, and a Nord singing together. Only in Skyrim
One of my favorite parts about this is how everyone goes from singing wonderfully to almost march-strutting toward the camera at the end. Omar strikes me the most in that regard, having the final run. This group has always impressed me with their musical ability, but their physical performance in this is some of my favorite in any music video ever.
Literally i began playing skyrim just recently and damn, i just found out my former fav group brought this song out? 😂 I never realized bc when i followed u guys actively i didn't know skyrim yet... But now i do, and damn, great job!
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!!
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 😅
@@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 :)
@Pavel Hranáč @@loganbyrant
Oh my god ! 2 different opinions, valid arguments, respect, acknowledgement, no insults, no cancelling, no screaming... what is happening ?
The dragonborns really brought the best of peoples.
@@Blackn3t I generally agree -- I feel like VoicePlay intentionally went in a different direction than what I felt was the core style of the song just to be different (and to match their styles of voices). I still liked it in the end, but I can't call it "top" in terms of Dragonborn Comes renditions. Of course, the specific technical content is still fantastic as was noted above.
It's missing just one thing...
An arrow to the knee.
I’m running a D&D campaign and when I heard this I knew I had to play this as background music when my players got to a tavern! They ended up tipping the bards 150 gold lol.
Stealing this idea
Same
love it!
hahaha
I have listen to this over and over again for several months now, the only criticism that I have it I wish it was longer. I have, since hearing this, listen to other renditions of this song...they are so not the same. This is magical.
I LOVE the mood of each voice - How Omar's voice sounds so sweet, innocent and brave; and Ely's voice, while singing the same note, sounds sneaky, evil almost, and "up to something."
Such beautiful voices.
This video is 55% spectacular visuals and 55% spine-chilling/soul-burning vocals, for a grand total of 110% pure breathtaking VoicePlay action!
I am so excited for all of you who will see this for the first time. It is so freaking awesome.
I just ended up here down the rabbit hole. I don't know what Skyrim is. I just know I am sitting here crying because this is so beautiful.
It is a game that was very immersive, and its soundtrack led a lot of TH-cam artists to make covers of it. If you would like to hear more great covers of one of the best games of all time, just search Skyrim covers in the search bar, sit back....sip some tea/coffee and enjoy!
It's the fifth Elder Scrolls game. The soundtracks for Morrowind (3), Oblivion (4), and Skyrim (5) are all masterpieces and I highly recommend listening to them all. Theres even a Mashup called Morroblivirim that's fantastic.
You need to get Skyrim if you like fantasy, rpgs, and sometimes random bullshit.
@@blackberry9766 Looking to welcome another initiate to the Skyrim Space Program, are you? (random bullshit)
@@cybercifrado Now which district of the Space program? The SSS I touched a Mammoth or the SSS Oh look a werewolf?
¡ Perfección !
WOW Mr. Jacobsen! What a VOICE! Must be the Voice wielding all that power
This made me so happy beyond words. I LOVE Skyrim so seeing you guys cover this was heaven! I'm geeking out over here! AMZAING JOB!!!
Epic! And I’m so glad Omar joined you again for this amazing song, his voice is beautiful!!
holy mother of god .... the morrowind theme part gets me every time
I have had to play this a few times since yesterday when I found it for the first time. My husband asked me to play it over the big speaker to wake him up this morning. I feel like my soul has been uplifted since hearing this.
This group is so superbly talented! My mind is "Blown"! They have such a wide range, not only vocally, but with the types of music that they do. If I was in their group, I'd be singing Baritone. I used to be a very high Tenor, but I dropped to the Baritone Position, back when I was in High School. That's been ever so long ago...back in the Late 1970s, and into the Early 1980s. God has blessed me with the ability to sing, and I love it!
Love it, love it, love it! The things these men can do with their voices is nothing short of amazing.
Is it just me or does Geoff Castelluci’s voice reverberate through you when he’s just vocalizing?
Not just you! I get chills every time!
@@rebekahhill4955 I do every time as well.
I mean he is a subwoofer
@@doobiedoobenson1194 Lol nah, it's pretty rare for a man to be able to vocalize subharmonics like that and it also takes training.
That's surprisingly easy to learn, tbh. All you need to do is kill the dragon terrorizing Whiterun, learn the word wall at bleak falls barrow, and you're 1/3 of the way there.
I'm so happy that you made Dovahzul sound like a proper language and not just something being read off in English.
it really helps that Eli speaks Japanese, and Omar and Cesar speak Spanish, it helps the pronunciation of other languages besides English.
@@huldradraco That's quite beneficial, yes. They did a great job!
@@huldradraco I didn't know Eli speaks Japanese. Doesn't surprise me though
@@joyfulyes yeah, he lived and worked there for a year 🙂
The English bits were interesting, but I felt like the arrangement REALLY took off when they shifted to the conlang section! I'm not familiar at all with the game or the group, but those sections really soared for me, and had a unique beauty.
OUTSTANDING! Love the costumes, the make-up, the background, and most especially the invented language! Love the close harmony. 10 out of 10. BRAVO!
you guys are Fire Not gonna lie i got chill hearing this song
I am honestly crying. This soundtrack is one of the most epic ever made for a game and you guys just took it over the top!!!!! Keep going guys, never stop!!!
Incredible!
I knew from the first note that this would be one of my favorite covers. It is simply a work of art. Omar and Eli's voice... my God.
Geoff... Holy Christ. YOU ARE SO TALENTED.
Cesar, sublime.
Layne... I still don't understand how he does all that, but he's great.
You guys have to be the most creative artists I've ever seen. From the makeup/costumes to the arrangements, you always come up with something fresh. I also LOVE that you collaborate with someone else every now and then. I just love you guys!
Fucking hell...just when I thought someone couldn't do another Skyrim cover and actually make it more awesome...you guys come along. Good shit you all.
voiceplayとSkyrimなんて鳥肌が止まらない…！MVのクオリティー、原作の再現度もいつも通り最高！
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.
This legend slides from a G#1 to a C#1 with subs like it’s just a walk in the park, and it was the perfect opening for this amazing song
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!!!
Wow. That was so much fun. Brilliant. Time to start a new adventure....
Great version, epic. At the same time light and dreamlike, and dark and gloomy. Just like a game of Skyrim. And great setup and reenactment. Really well done. Cheers from Denmark.
EXCELLENT! Thank you for including the lyrics! Outstanding invented language. Love the costumes, the background and make-up. Love the close harmony! BRAVO!
Everything about this is absolutely phenomenal. The singing, the costuming, directing, the set, it's all so wonderful made! 1000000/10, stellar job! ♡♡♡

The one at 0:07 was particularly sick, and the look on his face then...
At 0:07 the note was a Second Subharmonic, which is far more difficult to produce. Very impressive!
Perfect
@@voldymodert5592 Geoff has said that he can’t do second subs and probably won’t ever be able to, so I’m inclined to believe it’s still a first sub unless he says otherwise somewhere :)
@@OceanMan88 You're probably right. I tried it myself and it's even possible with my range in the first subharmonic. Nevertheless really impressive.
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... 🥰
Epic!!! Epic!!
My wife just recently performed in a huge choir with symphonic orchestra and THIS SONG was one of featured.. .it was a concert of movie and game music.
I get chills from every song they do ❤ I think they could give Peyton a run for his money ❤😂 I’ll play this song every time I play Skyrim now as I’ve played since it came out 😁the bass is just 😻😻
I just came back from a month long navy underway and listened to voice play all month to get me through, this was nice to come back. Keep making things amazing
I can't even believe that there are THAT talented people in the world, I'll listen to it every single day of my life
My husband plays Skyrim and if the music sound like this I would sit beside him and just listen. Beautiful.
unironically astounding you all did amazing, this alone has made me a fan
I’m a musician playing Japanese traditional instrument, I’ve never known and heard about these great voices and songs.
I totally missed my life until last weekend!
So amazing!!!
That was absolutely amazing
This is so beautiful ❤
This is so great!! Omar is so wonderful. They mention something a dragon after he sang on the Voice. Now I know what they were talking about.
This is so freaking epic! I've heard so many great covers of this song.... but none have even come close to this magnitude of perfection!
I love Omar's mix into this group. Something about every video he is in is just extra and amazing. This was a sick rendition of a video game song. I love that you guys branch out into so many different genres of music. Love the set and the costumes, as well. Just an incredible set up. Fantastic!
PSA: *Do NOT do what I did*
Thinking to appreciate the acoustics of the song as much as possible, I put this video on my home theatre and settled down to enjoy the show. Unfortunately, a pair of lizards that happened to be scurrying around nearby heard it and evolved into dragons, burning down my house as they did so. I barely escaped with my life. To all of you about to watch this video, either use headphones or ensure there are no reptiles within a fifty-metre radius of your setup! 😠😠
🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Wards, man. Ward up first. Or detect life and then eliminate or banish. IDK. 😆
Dude, I played this to my dragon and he really enjoyed it
damn dude you got your thatched roof cottage burninated?
Every single one of you is a superstar in this performance! It's just incredible when so many amazing things come together to make a perfect video!
Great harmony, costume and makeup on point. This group rocks!
incredible arrangement. those harmonies are so tight! Gotta do another play thru of this now
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.
