Dishonored 2 - The Coup (song + lyrics) ♫ as seen by the two street performers in Karnaca. * Previous video: Dishonored 2 - New York Event: “ • Dishonored 2 - New Yor... ”
For everyone asking about the singers. I contacted Copilot, the studio behind the songs. The composer answered me: "I’m sorry, the singer asked to be uncredited on these songs. But thank you for reaching out, I’m glad you’re listening."
These street performers were taking their lives into their hands singing this song and they knew it. Other than their courageous singing we know almost nothing about them and yet love their characters. lol
These void-damned street singers, forcing their personal politics into their music! The public is tired of having political agendas shoved down their throats! :P
Beautifully haunting melody, perfectly sums up the titular "coup" that takes place in the game, not to mention the hopeless state of Karnaca by the time of the player's arrival.
Dishonored 1 is the best. They dropped the ball with the story in dishonored 2 and didn't flesh out the villains properly. As for the dlc they destroyed the mystique of the outsider and made one of their most memorable characters Daud completely pointless. If my mentor told me I'm dying, the first thing I would have asked is: what's wrong with you??
For those who really like the kinda rustic raw sound of the singers voices, you may like the band Ghostfire. The guy similarly has a really rough voice and an interesting folk sound. The last steampunk waltz and Vaudevillain are probs my favourite by them.
Damn I love this. Hey. Let's start a coup! After whiskey and cigars of course. And you will even get your own squad after the night we start the coup in! Don't worry, Choffer will blow off aswell. Because when you find him, it's gonna be bad...
I'd love to know more about the performers - The end credits say music produced by Copilot but I think they're a production company that wrote the song for the game. The vocals sound so much like Peter Dreimanis and Leah Fay from July Talk I was convinced it was them for a while but I've relistened and now I'm not sure.
Does it say anywhere who sang this? I got a kind of Leonard Cohen vibe from the male voice, but I haven't quite found out anything about them yet :/ Anyone know anything more?
Yet you listen to this chanell witch has the song in the month of darkness witch WITCH EXPLANES THE BACKSTORY OF THE OUTSIDER so quit your screeching about heresy as you are much as a heritic as I am
Anyone know if the woman is the same one who tried to kiss meagan on the dreadful whale . theres a note to meagan from a singer who left the serkonan guitar
Timely comment i know; They released it on Spotify under "Copilot Music + Sounds", they do more work for Bethesda games (also did the Nuka World DLC theme).
I wonder what they would sing when the Journalist shows them what happened and that Emly took back her throne? Would they know that she did it alone? Would they know why she went so far to take back her birth right? Shame I would not know cus this world is fictional.
"Im just a poor singer recounting this tale if im singing it wrongly im dead as a whale" + there no officers near by in the game its in front of a few shops hence the reason for there quiet like voice.
Woman sounds like a siren ( they were the best singers because they lured the sailors with their songs and beauty) and goddamn the dude has so good bass voice. Gotta admit I only listened to it for the achievement but I was fing wrong
I don't know if it has any meaning, but this is my interpretation. The song asks: "A coup, what is it to you?" And then suggests the answer: "A feast or a famine", and then also adds that the feast and the famine might be the same, by saying "A nail or a screw?" (two slightly different things that pretty much do the same thing). As in, people might think that it will be a feast for some, a famine for others. My second interpretation is that it might be asking "Does the coup even make a difference? Does it matter?" as one would ask "Would a nail or a screw do the job differently?".
Building on that, I think the "A nail or a screw?" line is a reference to the coup meaning nothing to the lower classes, whose lives are fucked regardless of who sits on the throne.
I believe it all symbolizes that where someone will be profiting another will be suffering from the coup. As between a feast or a famine which would you rather have? And what does the coup mean to you? Which meal are you going to be having? Same for the nail and screw. Which will the coup be giving you? It all pretty much is saying will you be profiting or suffering from the coup cause they is a thin line with no middle ground
Just started playing the game - yea, I'm late, but I'm well past the urge to buy every game upon release - and noticed that this song is pretty similar to Spoon, a 1971 offering by German progressive rockers Can: th-cam.com/video/YGTF80shoO4/w-d-xo.html - or is it just me thinking it's similar?
Youssef Mohammed I don’t. No one made her be a demented and manipulative person. She met, and painted under, Anton S.. She had literally endless potential but she was deeply corrupted with the idea that the entire empire owed her. She totally deserved the crown but she totally could have done all of it without dragging more than half of the Empire down into chaos. Not to mention she slaughtered countless innocent and let her coven and the Duke run wild. And she screwed over Daud back in the DLC for the first game. She doesn’t really deserve pity especially when you consider she most of what she did just for the reasoning of doing it.
Honestly i hate the way it sounds, rhythm is off, voices don't mesh well together, sometimes the girl is singing flat and floating around different pitches, and it doesn't fit the setting and sounds too pop-like with the lyrics and melody. I love the game, but specifically the street performers, I hate.
For everyone asking about the singers. I contacted Copilot, the studio behind the songs. The composer answered me: "I’m sorry, the singer asked to be uncredited on these songs. But thank you for reaching out, I’m glad you’re listening."
The dude's voice gives some mellow Leonard Cohen vibes.
Hmm.... Dishonored 2 came out four days after Leonard Cohen's death, maybe it *was* him :D
It sounds like either Tom Waits or Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age)
As far as I know the female singer is Julia Holter.
Guys, they wanted to stay uncredited... Why are you naming them?
It's called speculating
These street performers were taking their lives into their hands singing this song and they knew it. Other than their courageous singing we know almost nothing about them and yet love their characters. lol
Music teacher: Would you give up your life for music?
All the street singers: Wait you guys have to sign a contract?
These void-damned street singers, forcing their personal politics into their music! The public is tired of having political agendas shoved down their throats!
:P
@@Axius27 lmao
they remind me of the woman and man in bioshock infinite
why does this song slap so hard when it was made as a track for something that only a few players will only listen to fully?
Quality over quantity
You are rude, I love this game, don't say something like that
@@vkai1073 Not really, I'm pretty sure the song only plays with that band duo, which is really easy to miss in game which is what he meant
Dishonored such an underrated franchise
the world and music are absolutely amazing
the soundtracks in the sequel is fitting to its Mediterranean like setting
Just came across this song while roaming, and stood around to listen to it. Found it sort of haunting, but great. Thanks for uploading it!
YOU FOUND THIS HAUNTING? Well Search Up brigmore lullaby. Its way calmer than this
Holy shit guys listen with headphones... you're welcome
gives me chills
The voice split in my ears, female voice in my right ear, and the male voice in my left ear.
@@christianbenayun4585
For me it’s other way around lol
@@rochambeau7197 your headphones are on the wrong way round then.

I'm getting the cigars tomorrow, wanna buy one?
Gathering for whiskey and cigars tonight ?
You bet.
indeed
jack lidell you bring the cigars I bring the whiskey
Perish the thought.
A very strange, but wonderful song.
You just described every single Dishonored in universe song.
This is true.
Agenta 1999 the music in Dishonored is one tenth of why I love the games.
I love the Karnacan street street musicians, it adds life to the humid city
Dishonored 2 and it's DLC belong to the pearls of this generation.
It never got a dlc a have the ps4 version and all three games and no dlc that I saw

Dishonored 2's DLC is Death of the outsider, it was just released as a separate game@@matthewdelmaro1793
@@matthewdelmaro1793two years later to answer this but actually it did have a dlc like the first game, death of the outsider
@@diabolicalchild3267the books, telegraphs, and notes added more background to the villains as did the outsider shrines

Hey.
Let's start a coup!
After whiskey and cigars of course.
And you will even get your own squad after the night we start the coup in!
Don't worry, Choffer will blow off aswell.
Because when you find him, it's gonna be bad...
Raider Fox Must've been a dog bark or something. Yeah, thats it. But of course now we're all on edge.....
Praxsis, The Forgotten Probably rats, they are everywhere...
Raider Fox Poison, Tyvian stuff. Amateur work... he'll live. But that's up to Daud...
I just want to say, Sir...
Congratulations on getting your own squad.
ShadowX 1337 that man was the only person I didn't kill
This song is so damn weird, but it kinda hits all the right feelings
Every song in dishonored ever
Its got a kinda gypsy/irish kinda feel
Holy crap, that guy sings like god.
He dead unfortunately
Fegelein?
And that gal like an angel
I like listening to this while playing AC and DH, the vibes man…
Aparently this song turned everyone in the comment section into poetic, music theory majors.
There is a masters in music in my hand that came from nowhere
Nice to know the Buskers were Empress Kaldwin supporters.
I always thought they sang "Cuckoo" hahaha
The lyric sheet is literally sitting right in between them xD
I'd love to know more about the performers - The end credits say music produced by Copilot but I think they're a production company that wrote the song for the game.

It's not them but I can tell you I thought the same thing.
Thank you sooo much for uploading! This song is so great.
Does it say anywhere who sang this? I got a kind of Leonard Cohen vibe from the male voice, but I haven't quite found out anything about them yet :/ Anyone know anything more?
It's COPILOT I believe. They did all the Karnaca street songs.
Thank you for this I've been looking for the songs the duos sing!
thanks for the upload,, I'd wish this would be the first hit for the " coup" not HEYOO SAM AND MAX PLAYING BROFIST "
Ahhh! This is the one I was looking for! Thank you! Such a badass song
This aged well
Well at least for Myanmar...
i don't knwo why but i always get goosebumps when listening to this.

Thanks for uploading this.
I was looking for this, thanks.
Thanks for the upload! :)
Awesome! I literally stopped playing to listen to this :)
I wish someone would make a cover of this awesome song.
good god this game is amazing
Anyone got the Silver and Dust one?

TheOverseer the outsider did nothing wrong
declan bright - By the strictures! Heresy here? Your lying tongue can not fool the Overseer of the abbey! You will be cleansed, heretic!
Yet you listen to this chanell witch has the song in the month of darkness witch WITCH EXPLANES THE BACKSTORY OF THE OUTSIDER so quit your screeching about heresy as you are much as a heritic as I am
speechless arent you?
Anyone know if the woman is the same one who tried to kiss meagan on the dreadful whale . theres a note to meagan from a singer who left the serkonan guitar
Could it be!? Broken glass!
Why so many dislikes?
The Abbey declared this song to be heretical. Watch out for the Overseer downvotes.
Oooh, what do you use to edit your vids? How did you get that shimmer across the logo? The subtleties of this are awesome!
(Adobe) After Effects mostly, It's 'cc light sweep' if i recall correctly.
From where do you have the background?
Where can I get a synchronized and well mastered version of this beautiful song?

Congrats to Evgeniy on winning the contest.
I wonder what they would sing when the Journalist shows them what happened and that Emly took back her throne?
Would they know that she did it alone? Would they know why she went so far to take back her birth right?
Shame I would not know cus this world is fictional.
this is pretty much singing "fuck hitler" right in front of an SS officer. how did they not get arrested
"Im just a poor singer recounting this tale if im singing it wrongly im dead as a whale" + there no officers near by in the game its in front of a few shops hence the reason for there quiet like voice.
I dont believe it was like this....together? I thought the girl had a verse and then the man, then they both(in the howlers place)
What level is this one on?
Thank you very much. :)
A bit late but I can confirm that the place mentioned is actually for the song "Watery Grave", a very underrated song.
Thanks for the info. :)
Do you know who is the girl?
All I know is that she is the young girl who sung the "Drunken Whaler Song" from Dishonored 1 (think I read it on harveys twitter, but I'm not sure)
After 4 years I wanna thank you for your reply
What type of music is this?
Ballad or Folk song.
Woman sounds like a siren ( they were the best singers because they lured the sailors with their songs and beauty) and goddamn the dude has so good bass voice.
Gotta admit I only listened to it for the achievement but I was fing wrong
My brother has it
Great song and all, but why the hell doesn't the singing match the music rhythmically? I don't understand how they'd fuck that up.
what genre be this music
Folk song.
I don't like that the audio is this much far to left or right.
👍
LA WEA HERMOSA WEON
They did a fantastic job at making this song sound like it was made by amateures, they are very good amatueres, but amateerus non the less
Could a native English speaker tell me if the screw is a symbol for something or if they just used it because it rhymed?
I don't know if it has any meaning, but this is my interpretation.
The song asks: "A coup, what is it to you?" And then suggests the answer: "A feast or a famine", and then also adds that the feast and the famine might be the same, by saying "A nail or a screw?"

My second interpretation is that it might be asking "Does the coup even make a difference? Does it matter?" as one would ask "Would a nail or a screw do the job differently?".
Well a screw is a bit more permanent than a nail. You usually nail things that you intend to remove later, shingles on a roof for example.
coolclaytony Fair point.
Building on that, I think the "A nail or a screw?" line is a reference to the coup meaning nothing to the lower classes, whose lives are fucked regardless of who sits on the throne.

Brazil's song
Sadly a bit out of synch. :(
SKy_the_Thunder Its a street performance. Besides, it's suppose to be like that.
SKy_the_Thunder it's to add resonance :) makes it a little more creepy and therefore effective :D
well I sometimes feel sorry for Delilah

Sorry, but are those lyrics written by a child? And those rhymes... :-/
