Down by the River Lyrics [Verse 1] Lace your heart with mine Let your sleeping soul take flight Take me through the night [Refrain] Down, down, down by the river Down, down, down by the river (By the river) [Verse 2] Hanging moon in fog Mists will lead where you belong Sweep me off my feet [Refrain] Down, down, down by the river Down, down, down by the river Down, down, down by the river (By the river) [Bridge] Inky embers (Inky embers) Swirl and dance (Swirl and dance) Just leave the flames and take a chance To be with me tonight Take my hand And hold it tight 'Causе you and I are everywhеre The night is young, we're going [Refrain] Down, down, down by the river (By the river) Down, down, down by the river Down, down, down by the river (By the river) [Outro] Don't wake me up Just leave me there dreaming
I'm in love with this cover. The transformation is fantastic. You make it sound like it was always meant to be a rock song. I love the original version, but your version is the one I'm going to listen to on repeat.
people from the internet let's unite to make Larian Studios see this, this metal cover is on a whole another dimension do I love it? HELL YES! thank you Skar for this work of art!
This song works in every form I've heard, yet I am no less impressed with the various versions I've heard. You've made another instant classic and addition to the playlist, Skar.
Bad ass🔥🔥🔥🔥 I've seen a lot of metal covers of this song that miss the mark because they just put metal riffs in with the original. You transformed it and made it beautiful ❤️ Got chills listening and absolutely felt like this could have been the soundtrack for the Lae'zel romance scene. Also I choose to believe Astarion singing because he's essentially Lestat XD Very well done ♥️
I'm a huge fan of the original, and I like this just as much, which can be hard to do when translating a song into a cover. Amazing job! I love how you sang it, where it was more gruff and rock but not completely grunge. Feels so epic this way.
Very cool! Coming from a non player! I love that I don't have to be a fan or consumer of these different things to enjoy the covers you create of them. It's just good music
I cannot state enough how absolutely glorious this cover is. I haven't heard anything this good in a really long time. Your vocals are exactly what I was looking for when I was looking for a cover of the song. Seriously, can't sing you enough praise for this one.
I've started so many campaigns waiting at venture fourth while my buddies take there sweet time making characters, this song was already stuck in my head. Then I find this banger and it's never going away. Thanks.
And this is on spotify too🤧 a fucking blessing that is, I can’t even tell you how awesome this feels, and I speak for everyone when I say that- THANK YOU
I finally just started a Durge playthrough, but have been having trouble getting in a good "me, but sharper edges" mindset...and I think you just solved it. Thank you. :D

[BARD][COLLEGE OF METAL][PERFORMANCE] Lace your heart with mine... * rolls nat 20 *
Yep, he definitely rolled a nat 20
This needs to be a subclass mod now.
With a +10 bonus multiplier
Bard College of Metal from now on. Whatever multiclass that needs to be.
@@ivanberdichevsky5679his passive is a nat20!
This has just such MASSIVE Nightwish vibes in this arrangement, loving it!
Haha yeah I do love Nightwish 😅
This would work so good to play when Nightwish flies away from the prison to moonlight, damn!
I am not going to lie. Nightwish covering Down By The River would be awesome, especially if Marko joined in
First thing I thought ❤
I hear it too! especially in the keyboard accompaniment
I'm a cleric of Skar now
Jesus, your singing on this one always blows my mind! Thanks for letting me be part of it!
Too true, but your shredding is also sick and iconic dude 🤘 rock on
@@Calebgoblin Man, thanks!
Did one of my favourite BG3 songs justice! As a metal head I thank you for your amazing contribution to this work of art! 🤘
Came here straight from Larian’s thank you to the community video and holy shit that was amazing. Rock on!! 🤟🏻
Down by the River Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lace your heart with mine
Let your sleeping soul take flight
Take me through the night
[Refrain]
Down, down, down by the river
Down, down, down by the river (By the river)
[Verse 2]
Hanging moon in fog
Mists will lead where you belong
Sweep me off my feet
[Refrain]
Down, down, down by the river
Down, down, down by the river
Down, down, down by the river (By the river)
[Bridge]
Inky embers (Inky embers)
Swirl and dance (Swirl and dance)
Just leave the flames and take a chance
To be with me tonight
Take my hand
And hold it tight
'Causе you and I are everywhеre
The night is young, we're going
[Refrain]
Down, down, down by the river (By the river)
Down, down, down by the river
Down, down, down by the river (By the river)
[Outro]
Don't wake me up
Just leave me there dreaming
Poignant especially when you read about the game's original plot.
it’s so fit with karlach’s new ending!
Holy smokes this dudes voice. Goosebumps when you hit those highnotes. Just a phenomenal cover all around man
I'm in love with this cover. The transformation is fantastic. You make it sound like it was always meant to be a rock song. I love the original version, but your version is the one I'm going to listen to on repeat.
This would make for a ridiculously epic final boss theme.
Very beautiful and powerful
Every cover you do blows me away, it's insane how consistent you are. My only complaint with this is that it isn't long enough!
Was struggling to extend this one. Managed to add 30 seconds at least haha
Ever since I heard that song in the game I thought "Skar is gonna rock this"
Listening to this makes you feel like a hero. Singing this makes you feel like god.
What a glorious cover!
Not only does this sound AMAZING, you look like you're having so much fun with it.
people from the internet let's unite to make Larian Studios see this, this metal cover is on a whole another dimension
do I love it? HELL YES! thank you Skar for this work of art!

Do I Love it?! Yes!!! I Do! Thank you Skar! ❤
AAARGH this is so fucking good!
If only I had a bag of holding, I'd be carring this shit around with me all day long
I'm gonna watch this.... In a van.... DOWN BY THE RIVER **falls through coffee table**
You definitely did this better than everyone else on here. I've tried to listen to everyone and I just can't, I have to have this one. Perfect fit.
Agreed, at least among the "metal" versions.

Wowowow! I found you from Larian’s video that you appeared in! This was absolutely amazing. I’m now binging the rest of your videos.
Dude
You
*NEVER*
Disappoint.
This is the Way.
This song works in every form I've heard, yet I am no less impressed with the various versions I've heard.
You've made another instant classic and addition to the playlist, Skar.
Dear baby Jesus, I wish I could swap the OG version for this amazing rendition! You have one hell of a voice my dude!
This cured my depression
YES!!!!!!! I am so so so happy you made this one and I knew you would blow us away with it! Love it! 🤘🎶🎸
Loving the tadpole effects on this! You did it again, man, absolute banger
I never thought how well this fits Melodic Metal, so much I would have thought this was the original if I didn't hear it before.
Check out little v's version too
Bad ass🔥🔥🔥🔥 I've seen a lot of metal covers of this song that miss the mark because they just put metal riffs in with the original. You transformed it and made it beautiful ❤️

Very well done ♥️
D20! Critical Success!
Easiest add to playlist I have ever done.
This is by far my favourite cover 😭😭 You have me in complete awe here, sweet precious person
You just keep amazing me Skar.
this guy just rolled a 20, CRITICAL SUCCES! I approve
great performance! you roll a 20
I'm a huge fan of the original, and I like this just as much, which can be hard to do when translating a song into a cover. Amazing job! I love how you sang it, where it was more gruff and rock but not completely grunge. Feels so epic this way.
Once again - A critical hit! - i hope you are doing allright brother!
1:41 had me HEADBANGING
Very cool! Coming from a non player!
I love that I don't have to be a fan or consumer of these different things to enjoy the covers you create of them. It's just good music
This deserves so many more views! Absolutely incredible mate
Потрясающее исполнение. Мотив и слова песни прекрасно ложаться на метал оранжировку👍
F*cking awesome!! We want more!
AMAZING AS ALWAYS
Holy damn, that started randomly for me in background. It was the fastest double take I ever had.
awesome cover Skar! I know you might be having a rough time of it recently but know we do care and we will be here for you, rock on forever!
The guitar part is easy, the vocal part is ridiculously hard.
I admit, I felt the impulse to throw some horns.
Subscribed.
Dayum, that's actually bad ass. Nice job!
I hope the team at Larian see this! Epic!
I cannot state enough how absolutely glorious this cover is. I haven't heard anything this good in a really long time. Your vocals are exactly what I was looking for when I was looking for a cover of the song. Seriously, can't sing you enough praise for this one.
Lets f'n go. Love this !!!
Omg! Awesome!
Absolutely amazing!
HOOOLLLYYYY, AMazing cover....
As a huge fan of Rhapsody of Fire (and of Baldur's Gate 3, of course), this is exactly my vibe! Great job!
Thanks man! Always funny when people gets vibes from bands I never really listened to haha. Tbh that goes for most bands people compare me to 😅
That was wicked sick
This fills me with a righteous and sacred flame 🔥
Bad a$$!! You are awesome man
OMG 🤘🤘🤘🤘
And this transition at 1:15 🙀🙀
This game is a decade (grand)redesigner! Gz for the cover Skar, we want The Power/Raphael's Final Act next!
Omg so good, love this song ingame and your version is even better. Someone should show this to Sven!
POWERFULL and BEAUTIFULL
Hell yeah bro. Nice.
Was literally checking your account several times over the last week, hoping this was coming out. Fantastic.
your ancestor guardian spirits are smiling down on you mate, hope you can feel how proud they are
absolutely iNCREDIBLE!!!!
This is so sick. I’m just jamming this and Raphael’s Final Act on repeat.
Getting huge Howard Jones era of Killswitch Engage vibes and I absolutely love it!
this is absolutely incredible, I have goosebumps dude! I'm not even a big metal gal but this just screams to my soul. Y'all are a talented group :)
I've started so many campaigns waiting at venture fourth while my buddies take there sweet time making characters, this song was already stuck in my head. Then I find this banger and it's never going away. Thanks.
OMG. I was waiting this so freaking muuuuch!!! Amazing as always!!
Holy shit! It reminds me a bit of good old times, when some games had metal themes. Like Sacred 2 or Hellgate: London.
Nice work man!
This one always gets stuck in my head, and now even moreso! BG3 has so many great tunes. I hope you'll end up doing "I Want to Live" at some point.
When a level 20 bard rolls a nat 20 on performance
Man, I can tell you loved singing this, love the game, or both. And that makes it so much better
More like down by the ocean! Wonderfully flooding my ears! God damn this man slays!
Another absolute masterpiece. You are a legend, Skar
Oh yes! Love it! Keep rock’n bruhhs!! 🎸
That was freaking awesome, got me shivering thoroughly. Excellent work!
Face.....melted!
Damn!
One of Skar's most Epic!
That's the most awesome cover on this song that will ever exist!!! Thank you for your amazing work, you're the best!
This was a fantastic cover of an already incredible piece! Well done
Absolutely mindblowing
Epic dude!
Oh fuck yeah, I'm so glad you covered this. What a banger dude.
I spent so long in character creation, this has given it a new life. Such energy and texture.
This brought me back to blasting Sonata Arctica this cover is SICKKKKKK, your arrangements are INSANE, thank you for bringing this to the world!!!!!
I already loved this song but my heart swelled with love at the guitar riffs and deeper voice, this is magnificent ❤️🔥
Just discovered this from the Larian video that went up a day ago. Holy hell. Amazing work sir. Just amazing.
