I really like the change in the rhythmic structure of the song. It added an aspiration to it that is more inherent to instrumental music. Now it doesn't sound like a cover, but an original composition. Amazing as always!
I love that the melodies are little less original and much more adapted to the style than most similar covers do. Really like it. It's something you can put on an RPG background playlist and people won't notice it until half way through.
I enjoyed your original music video for this sir. The beautiful young bar wench on her mead break, reading and falling in love with the young squire in the graphic parchment of his heroic quest she was reading. The way she fell into the parchment and was able to dance with him was stunning, and that ending!👍😂 Hopefully there will be those reading this comment who will have an 'A-Ha' moment!😎Brilliant work as usual Algal the Bard! Thank you.
The music changes are so well done that the song seems just the original. It's incredible how well the style sits in this song. Another amazing job, Algal, you're F*CKING AWESOME!!
This made me absolutely giddy. 😊 I recently showed my husband the music video of the original Take on Me. It’s one of my favorite music videos. This is a fantastic spin on it.
Awesome work Algal, I love it! That took a lot of work. Imagine busting this out circa 800A.D. for royalty. Would you get a modern foot tapping and head nodding followed by a standing applause or drawn and quartered? We'll never know, but as the famous historians Bill and Ted wisely said, "Be Excellent eachother" .
Wow! TH-cam just suggested this video to me. I'm not mad at all. 😀 That was amazing. I'm going to look at more of your videos when I'm done writing this.
Now have I fed the algorithm with a thumbs up, importuned my kith and kin to lend their ears and required that my scribe enter this onto three playlists.
Minha música preferida do A-ha, me traz muitas lembranças. Ficou ótima, boa para escutar tomando um vinho na torre do castelo, esperando os vikings chegarem.
As usual it's really perfect. I love what you're doing and can't get enough. I live in France near spain. Have you considered participating in medieval festivals ?
"Take On Mead" - Algal The Bard
Nice!😂
A lake of Mead, even.
@@FortitudineVincimus Nicely done! 🤌
You come, hither! 😅
🍻
These covers take so much more imagination than the average one-instrument-playing-the-original type
To be fair this is not a cover but a re-arrangement
This is what the internet is for.
Marvelous.
Now you have make a video where you're trapped in a tapestry.
Thanks 🙏
Now my brain will be so unhappy until this happens. Thanks..😂
I remember hearing this song live for the first time. It was at the gig in Constantinople back in 1139. 😅
I saw you there! Front row bench in that tavern!
But now it’s Istanbul…
Why they changed it, I can’t say. People just liked it better that way.
@@peridotperson fuck it

Wind blowing in the hair! Solid fun production!
Literally 30ºC inside the tavern. I had to open doors and windows.

ok so now someone needs to remake the original video with those medieval drawings
One of the great one hit wonders of the 80s...the 1180s.
Sounds like the theme of a light-hearted fantasy anime
In short, fantasy slice of life.
I mean the original music video did have the heroine entering a black and white comic book world...
This could feature in the next season of Legend of Vox Machina...Imaging Scanlon blasting this in a battle with dragons....
@@kereymckenna4611 Oh my lord. The original music video is an Otome Isekai.
@@SciFiGuy72 I had never heard of that show, I'll check it out

Did your husband like the original?
He did! It’s a good song and video.
@@PokemonLoverHeather Glad to hear. It's an 80's classic ^^
Taketh on thee
Ah.. Algal.. as sweet and refreshing as a breeze in summer.. achingly beautiful.. both the song.. and you, handsome lad💜💙xxx
This guy just keeps cranking out bangers.
This song can sound well in any version and you absolutely did it justice. Very nice.
Definitely will dance at the tavern with the lady there 🎵🎶💃
Epic wind in the hair
Your covers are some of my favorites to play during DnD sessions I dm and this is one of my favorite songs. Sir, you’ve done me a great service :)
Just when you thought he was gone
The Bard is Back
keep up the great covers!
Que buena version, fantastica
Oh man, You are just a genius!
Very nice.
Me an the boys, 'eard dis at the Ol' barb n Crow last eve, boy sure hits de drum 'ard don't 'e? Ty Algal!!!!
When you jump to the high notes of the melody, I get chills. Great playing and thank you for posting!
Me, too :)
Tus covers siempre me hacen muy feliz :D muchas gracias, eres increible!!!!
Really nice and fun performance! It`s absolutely a joy to hear this cover! Thank you for your great stunning work, Algal! Please, keep it up!
Wow, this one just feels right. It translates perfectly to this style.
While im not blown away by this song
I really like the structural changes
Quite genius
Hello Algal! Thank you so very much for these, I love them. Cheers from the middle of Canada!
Ontario?
@@hieioni3354 Manitoba actually. Hello!
@@Branwhin Oh nice. I'm from Ontario, greetings :)
The quality of production and composition, i hit like in the first 10 seconds.
yes yes yes! a new Algal! goood weeekend!
You magnificent bast-bard! This is one of my earliest favorites.
I just got chills like a medieval Norse winter
Espectacular este cover, Algal please keep em coming! 🎉 saludos desde Irlanda 🇮🇪
this song makes me happy thanks Algal! you make my day!
1:05 chills, bravo
Awesome! The switch to 6/8 is brilliant 🙂
Super fun-I’ve been singing/playing that song a lot lately, so really cool to hear!
This challenge must've been pretty tough, glad you were the champion to take it on!
The patterns in the song with the lute sounds, they sound like BGM you would hear in a trek in "Willow."
Очень эпично и красиво! 👍
This is my favorite version. Thank you Algal!
Awesome work Algal, I love it! That took a lot of work. Imagine busting this out circa 800A.D. for royalty. Would you get a modern foot tapping and head nodding followed by a standing applause or drawn and quartered? We'll never know, but as the famous historians Bill and Ted wisely said, "Be Excellent eachother" .
Ohh this is so joyful and fluffy. Makes me want to dance in a meadow.
Maestro, this melody seems to be created for such a performance) Is better than the original, which I dearly love.
Wow! TH-cam just suggested this video to me. I'm not mad at all. 😀 That was amazing. I'm going to look at more of your videos when I'm done writing this.
This is so fun!
Probably the best song ever written, now a tavern bard song. Great stuff
This is on a whole new level of awesomeness
I just listened back to back to back THANK YOU GENIUS
This was a feel-good moment. Thank you kindly!
Ugh I love your music so much! Covers and originals both superb!

This is a wonderful cover!
Uszanowanko! Świetna aranżacja =j
Love it! Always good content.
OooOooo Dance! Dance! Fabulous!💜💜
Fico imaginando se de fato algum bardo tivesse rodado isso na idade média numa fogueira... Seria fascinante
*You've gained a level!* Algal is npw a lv 90 Bard. Algal gains the ability "mesmerize"
==more==
Genius, just genius.
You've outdone yourself this time! Awesome
This has made my day!
Você é um gênio, cara. Sensacional!!!
Fabulous cover as always 👏
you are an inspiration good sir✨
Now have I fed the algorithm with a thumbs up, importuned my kith and kin to lend their ears and required that my scribe enter this onto three playlists.
He strikes again 🔥
This was great!
Una versión que no sabía que necesitaba en mi vida ❤
Soooo good!
This is amazing!
Brilliant!
Awesome, thank you. I love what you do
Strong cover! 💪💪

Fantástico., felicidades ❤
Never have I clicked a video so fast.
These make me want to start a tavern band... Or a tavern with bands XD
Nicely done! It sounds great! 💯
Imagine using a time machine and perform modern music in the "tavern way", before Kings 😍
silly, skillful good fun. thank you!
If you listen to this at half speed, you get a pretty good idea what it sounds like in my head when I'm drunk
Finally a new video and a good one awesome
Can you make a cover of dont stop believing from journey that would be epic
Minha música preferida do A-ha, me traz muitas lembranças. Ficou ótima, boa para escutar tomando um vinho na torre do castelo, esperando os vikings chegarem.
Legal, primeira vez que vejo um brasileiro nos comentários do canal do bardo.
@@e.r.sd.soficial 👍
Ich finde den Sound super, Respekt
As usual it's really perfect. I love what you're doing and can't get enough.
