SureAI: using an engine the creators dont even know how to handle completely; brings out a better game series than the Creators. Bethesda: LetS MaKE Pe0pLe P4Y fOr ModS KeKEkeKeKEkekEk
Enderal is a master piece, don't get me wrong, I like skyrim and all, but holy shit Enderal is in a class of it's own. The soundtrack alone is better than 90% of games out there let alone the story.
Hearing this in Frostcliff tavern gave me chills, was like the moment you hear Priscilla first in Witcher, truly a moment I'l not forget. Can't get over how good the writing is in this mod, they've absolutely outclassed Bethesda themselves. I want Es6 mainly so Sure AI can make a sequel to Enderal.
I want SureAI to just make a game and have it crowd funded by us.. can you imagine how amazing that would be? Es6 is very likely gonna flop, but SureAI making a third in the series would make me buy it.
My girlfriend walked in on me playing this game and I was listening to the bard sing this and I was legit in tears and I showed her the song and then we were both crying LOL
I was playing through the whole game with my girlfriend and we were switching whos playing every few hours she cried 6 times throughout and I did twice, this song was one of them
Lyrics (taken from Enderal's wiki) Hundred men they were As they set out to fight For their country's banner in distant, foreign lands He bid her farewell A love still young and green She thought she'd soon be in his arms again He told her:"Await my safe return. Trust in this last promise and stand firm Once moonlight shines red onto the seas We shall return in victory." They marched off, blue banners in the sky And teardrops were running from her eyes Yet she thought: "If only I believe, Time will bring him safely back to me." [Verse] When the red moon casts its light His ghost travels through the night Through the forests on wind's wings Until he reaches the old hill There she kneels before his grave Where their love had once been born And he caresses her face Yet she feels not his embrace Dark and red glows the winter sky Two souls divided by the threads of time Days turned into weeks Moon for moon passed by Yet no word from the battlefields arrived Months turned into years Peace now ruled the lands Empty graves were dug under the sky But never did she doubt his last oath Each night she stepped out into the cold She walked through the forest, climbed the hill Where she had once sworn her love for him And always, when summer bid goodbye And moonlight blood-red fell from the sky His ghost raised from dust-forgotten bones Searching for what he had lost too soon [Verse] [Voice Bridge] Decades had gone by; her hair ashen and thin Realms had fallen, war and dead forgotten When she walked the streets, they said that she was damned A victim to a past long gone and rotten Yet still she did not care for their words When night came she prayed for his return Each fall, when cold winds haunted the lands She hoped to once again hold his hand And as her last sunset drew close by She lingered forgotten in the night The moon's light shines bright upon her face She's waiting as her life fades away When the red moon casts its light His ghost travels through the night Through the forests on wind's wings Until he reaches the old hill There she kneels before his grave Where their love had once been born And as she closes her eyes A ray of light breaks through the sky And her skin turns into dust As her soul breaks from its shell And she joins him in the sky: Two shapes now freed from grief and time Then the winds take them away Through the woods, it's trees asway And she takes him by his hand At last, in peace they find their end Dark and red glows the winter sky Two souls divided by the threads of time Dark and red glowed the winter sky Two souls united by the threads of time
Wait, is the end of this "Skin turns to dust, light breaks from the sky, soul falls to the sky" a reference to the cleansing? The cycle is seriously so well foreshadowed even the BARDS sing about it without knowing! And it gives such an interesting context to the ending, seeing the cleansing as a beautiful thing for some people.
also in night of the raven (song you can hear from bards in the undercity after finishing rhalata questline) there's this line: "step out of your flesh, float higher and higher/your sins will be paid, we'll snuff out the fire". yep, the cleansing is foreshadowed basically in every corner. this game, this fucking game
I wonder if this line meant that she was a vampire and is referencing the war with Dawnguard OR if it means that after her husbands death, she went to the battlefront herself and got herself shot and killed. (The "ray of light" is the tracer round that "burns" her skin and then she is freed.)
My jaw dropped when the female bard at the inn began to sing this. Was completely captivated throughout the entire song, almost forgot I was playing a game. It just hit all the feels. When it was over I wanted to give her an applause for the performance. Only game previously able to achieve that was the Barbershop Quartet in Bioshock Infinite. Now I listen to this outside of Enderal as well. 10/10 song well done!
I just returned back to the Frostcliff Tavern with Calia after the Angel quest. This song was playing as she expressed her grief wrapping her mind over what just happened. The fantastic story/quest and voice acting mixed with this beautiful melancholy piece of music was just an outrageously fucking gorgeous scene. Truely one of the most encapsulating moments ive ever had in gaming.
I'm 22 and up to this day Enderal has been the only game that managed to make me actually explore every single location in the map. And I mean explore. Not just discover the waypoints in the map. I always start exploring and quickly get bored and start just doing main and secondary quests. And it's also the only open world game that got me to actually fucking sit down at an inn when a banger like this showed up.
I wandered into frost cliff Tavern, trying to power game the mod. I didn't want to feel anything at the time. I was sick of it, all of it. Life honestly, I played the game to set out and add another achievement to my belt while I was recuperating and restructuring my life. This song completely set my pacing for a loop. It hit me like a freight train, it reminded me to wait, breathe, be human, as I was the same in real life. Reason why: my father died before mine and my mother's eyes, she told me she'd never marry again. My mother has not had a fair life, the end, ashen hair, unfair and bitter rumors of her being damned, all I could think of was my poor mother, how pure her love is for the father I'd lost and how when she dies she finally gets to be free and see him again, and how if the world was a fairer place that thought wouldn't contain any bitterness, any thought of how she should've been treated better and how her humanity should've once just been seen, or appreciated for what it was. I cried like a man who'd forgotten how, in fact I cried till I vomited, all I could think about is how tired my red haired mother looked at the time and how nobody seemed to give a fuck. So, I did, and tonight, grieving again, I told her I was glad to have her. When she passes I hope she is finally able to heal and leave the wounds of this world behind her. This song, silly as it sounds, helped put a piece of the human back in me. Reminded me to take my time, take a moment, live.
Years later and this still gets me emotional. Never forget first hearing this in that snowy tavern, and standing totally silent and still through the whole song, captivated. THIS is how you do amazing bard songs in a game!
I absolutely love how so many people share their stories of the first time they heard this song. I was in the middle of a quest and just needed a place to sleep. Found Myself at frostcliff tavern. Paid for the room and on my way to sleep I heard this song start. The melody, and her voice stopped me in my tracks. I turned around , found a nice place by the fire, pulled out my pipe, and just listened. I remember sitting there for at least 10 minutes afterwards just basking in the atmosphere. Truly a unique experience.
People complain about lack of fast travel. But unlike Skyrim, this game is all about immersion... Then you face the end game... I don't regret to let the cleansing as I think it's the right thing to do, but it sadden me every Time. I loved Enderal and it's diying world.
I went to the Undercity to see if I had enough pennies for some skill books. I started reading some signs along the way and I found one outside a door I'd never been to. For a lark, I went inside to see if there was anything interesting. A Bard was singing a very sorrowful song, and I decided to request some more music. I scrolled through my options and found this one at the very end. I thought, "I like winter, I like ice; I wonder if this will be as beautiful as the other song I heard
It's 2023 & I'm still loving this song and this game. I'm so glad that I get to play this masterpiece of a game that's in essence a MOD but able to stand toe-to-toe with any game out there. I think my first 1 or 2 playthroughs were just to complete the game through the main quests and storyline, and yes it was amazing! It wasn't until my subsequent playthroughs that I explored the world more and OMG that's so much more to love, including this song ❤Everytime I visit a tavern, I'll try to find a bard to sing this song😆
damn, i play this with below 15 fps, and made it through the end, and it's manage to slap my feelings, dang guys, you're awesome, this game win my heart...oh be still my heart...
Это прекрасно... Такая трогательная история, что я просто остановился посреди таверны и сначала долго слушал, а потом долго думал и грустил. Не каждый день что-то цепляет так...
Hundred men, they were, As they set out to fight For their country's banner in distant, foreign lands. He bid her farewell, A love still young and green; She thought she'd soon be in his arms again. He told her: "Await my safe return. Trust in this last promise and stand firm Once moonlight shines red onto the seas, We shall return in victory." They marched off, blue banners in the sky And teardrops were running from her eyes, Yet she thought: "If only I believe, Time will bring him safely back to me." _When the red moon casts its light,_ _His ghost travels through the night,_ _Through the forests on wind's wings_ _Until he reaches the old hill._ _There she kneels before his grave,_ _Where their love had once been born,_ _And he caresses her face,_ _Yet she feels not his embrace._ _Dark and red glows the winter sky,_ _Two souls divided by the threads of time._ Days turned into weeks, Moon for moon passed by, Yet no word from the battlefields arrived. Months turned into years; Peace now ruled the lands; Empty graves were dug under the sky. But never did she doubt his last oath: Each night she stepped out into the cold; She walked through the forest, climbed the hill Where she had once sworn her love to him. And always, when summer bid goodbye And moonlight blood-red fell from the sky, His ghost raised from dust-forgotten bones, Searching for what he had lost too soon. _When the red moon casts its light,_ _His ghost travels through the night,_ _Through the forests on wind's wings_ _Until he reaches the old hill._ _There she kneels before his grave,_ _Where their love had once been born,_ _And he caresses her face,_ _Yet she feels not his embrace._ _Dark and red glows the winter sky,_ _Two souls divided by the threads of time._ [Voice Bridge] Decades had gone by, Her hair ashen and thin; Realms had fallen, war and dead forgotten. When she walked the streets, They said that she was damned, A victim to a past long gone and rotten. Yet still she did not care for their words. When night came, she prayed for his return. Each fall when cold winds haunted the lands, She hoped to once again hold his hand. And as her last sunset drew close by, She lingered, forgotten in the night. The moon's light shines bright upon her face- She's waiting as her life fades away. _When the red moon casts its light,_ _His ghost travels through the night,_ _Through the forests on wind's wings_ _Until he reaches the old hill._ _There she kneels before his grave,_ _Where their love had once been born,_ _And as she closes her eyes,_ _A ray of light breaks through the sky,_ _And her skin turns into dust_ _As her soul breaks from its shell_ _And she joins him in the sky,_ _Two shapes now freed from grief and time._ _Then the winds take them away_ _Through the woods, its trees asway,_ _And she takes him by his hand._ _At last, in peace, they find their end!_ _Dark and red glows the winter sky,_ _Two souls divided by the threads of time._ _Dark and red glowed the winter sky,_ _Two souls united by the threads of time._
The first time I listened to this song was when I was doing Ca'liah Sakaresh's castle quest. I was haunted by the melody so much that my hands left the keyboard completely and I wept.
Aidan La Sombra ikr? I've listened to it twice and both times I couldn't keep my eyes dry. It reminds me of the brutality of the American Civil War. Apparently I'm a sucker for love stories haha
If you want to hear more of the singer (I'm doing very low profile advertisement here :D) her name is Lara Trautmann (Lara Loft is how she calls herself on TH-cam). th-cam.com/users/Ichitannfeatured She doesn't nearly get enough love. ^^
One of my favourite game moments was walking into the Sun Temple quarters for the first time, late at night. Everyone was asleep except me and the bard....and she sang this! I just stood and cried. Great job SureAi!
@@gracieannpinker1492 What are you talking about? The aged man was creepy and tied into the story really well. I loved hearing about him then actually meeting him
love all of the bard songs in this game, its hard to believe this is technically a Skyrim mod. im so glad i stumbled upon this gem of a game. added dreadful river to my wishlist to show support for this creator. they need to do the music for ES 6 or at least the beyond skyrim mods. the world building in these songs are second to none
This song feels like an anti-war song, that these two young lovers lost the happy life & family they could have had because he left to fight a war where he died. Though it ends hopeful with them embracing one-another in the afterlife.
This song represents so well the inevitable, the tragic destiny, the bittersweet which runs through this entire masterful epic that is Enderal. And also a testimony to the human condition. In those moments of listening, when a song like this opens my soul, I have so much compassion and love for humanity, for each of us. It's art, inspiration, divine flow.
Amazing song, amazing mod, such a professional work of art! Played the mod liked 8 months ago, did everything I could in the game, still keep coming back for the music..
Me, myself top tier Infiltrator, Warrior Of The Shadows, thief, burglar and cynical trickster was caught off guard by some invisible ninjas who began cutting onions like there was no tomorrow...
The very first great song in Riverville makes you suddenly convinced everything from Skyrim will pale in comparison. All taverns (Fat Leoran, Frostcliff, and even Red Ox) suddenly sound so real thanks to your music mastery. And now, although the fate of Enderal has already been sealed I tend to visit various taverns every now and then just to listen to Lara Trautmann (a voice behind this piece) and other performing artists, sipping a (real) glass of whisky.
Песни бардов шикарные просто, я долго не выходил из таверны слушая песни. Песня бардов намного лучше чем в Скайриме. К сожалению в Скайриме очень слабо проработали песни бардов, да и очень мало, всего 2 песни А здесь много разных мелодии. SureAI вы молодцы. Ваша игра просто шикарная. Желаю вам успехов, в дальнейших проектах👍👍❤️ Спасибо что вы создали такую замечательную игру
Went in to the tavern in the noble quarter, heard the bard singing this, couldn’t find him at first, but when I did, I was lost for a moment just sat there listening to this, honestly no game has ever made me sit down quietly and listen to a song like this one did
Lightborn be Damned... I was doing some light breaking and entering when I heard this song a floor above me and I dropped everthing to creep closer and cry my eyes out. I make the worst Shadowdancer... you can defeat me with a single song. D:
This can be called the anthem of all centuries-old wars. If approximately the same song had been written in ancient times, it would be relevant to this day.
Sorry, but I'm taking this masterpiece to my DnD game to make dramatic performance in the elven royal hall :) Made me tear up when I've listened to this song in the Frostcliff Tavern first 10 times.
The first time I heard this song, it was to go check on Tharaêl a few side quests after the end of Dark Chambers of our Minds. I just finished talking to him and checking in when the song started to play. I like to think that in the end of the game I freed him from his chains and gave him a new life.
It's insane to me that this is from modded content. This song is one of the most beautiful and touching I ever heard, game or no. Sadly hard task to make friends listen to this, but I will try my best to spread the word. Thank you Lara for your performance. You're giving me chills no matter how many times I listen to this on repeat
Not only is the music of this game amazing, this piece especially in my mind, but it is only looking back after you finish the game you can see how all the various elements including this song itself are foreshadowing so much. Spoiler hint below. For those of you have beaten the game think of how it finishes in context of how this song ends.
Hundred men they were As they set out to fight For their country's banner in distant, foreign lands He bid her farewell A love still young and green She thought she'd soon be in his arms again He told her:"Await my safe return.

When the red moon casts its light His ghost travels through the night Through the forests on wind's wings Until he reaches the old hill There she kneels before his grave Where their love had once been born And he caresses her face Yet she feels not his embrace Dark and red glows the winter sky Two souls divided by the threads of time Days turned into weeks Moon for moon passed by Yet no word from the battlefields arrived Months turned into years Peace now ruled the lands Empty graves were dug under the sky But never did she doubt his last oath Each night she stepped out into the cold She walked through the forest, climbed the hill Where she had once sworn her love for him And always, when summer bid goodbye And moonlight blood-red fell from the sky His ghost raised from dust-forgotten bones Searching for what he had lost too soon When the red moon casts its light His ghost travels through the night Through the forests on wind's wings Until he reaches the old hill There she kneels before his grave Where their love had once been born And he caresses her face Yet she feels not his embrace Dark and red glows the winter sky Two souls divided by the threads of time Decades had gone by; her hair ashen and thin Realms had fallen, war and dead forgotten When she walked the streets, they said that she was damned A victim to a past long gone and rotten Yet still she did not care for their words When night came she prayed for his return Each fall, when cold winds haunted the lands She hoped to once again hold his hand And as her last sunset drew close by She lingered forgotten in the night The moon's light shines bright upon her face She's waiting as her life fades away When the red moon casts its light His ghost travels through the night Through the forests on wind's wings Until he reaches the old hill There she kneels before his grave Where their love had once been born And as she closes her eyes A ray of light breaks through the sky And her skin turns into dust As her soul breaks from its shell And she joins him in the sky: Two shapes now freed from grief and time Then the winds take them away Through the woods, it's trees asway And she takes him by his hand At last, in peace they find their end Dark and red glows the winter sky Two souls divided by the threads of time Dark and red glowed the winter sky Two souls united by the threads of time
OH my GOD i just came again to listen to this because it came into my mind , AND I REMEMBERED THE WHOLE STORY IN THE GAME , WICH MADE ME CRY AGAIN ! i just Wish that SUREAI make a continuing of this :( i wish this SO FUCKING BAD !!! id pay even 100 EURO, i wont give a damn :(
- enters tavern for a quest
- decides to listen to the bard
- starts crying
Game 10/10 would recommend
So true
Thank you Bethesda for making Skyrim, so we could have the experience of playing Enderal whilst listening to this masterpiece.
Thanks you Bethesda for a game that we won't play because we have this absolute masterpiece 😂
I can't be the only one crying..
Mufasa O HEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHE ;C
а я ничего не понял и поэтому не заплакал

Enderal dropping this and Skyrim has Ragnar The Red.

@@jeck988 Enderal is the third in this series.
@@alexanderdewitt1989 I think it's the fourth
I think Enderal is the last game in the world of Vyn unfortunately. At least from what I've heard from Sureai.
@@Priceluked Really? Aw man, that sucks... I really would've love to see their next game set on Qyra or Kile. Oh well...
My girlfriend walked in on me playing this game and I was listening to the bard sing this and I was legit in tears and I showed her the song and then we were both crying LOL
this is something only enderal can achieve
That is so cute
We need to cry with each other more
I was playing through the whole game with my girlfriend and we were switching whos playing every few hours she cried 6 times throughout and I did twice, this song was one of them
Lyrics (taken from Enderal's wiki)
Hundred men they were
As they set out to fight
For their country's banner in distant, foreign lands
He bid her farewell
A love still young and green
She thought she'd soon be in his arms again
He told her:"Await my safe return.
Trust in this last promise and stand firm
Once moonlight shines red onto the seas
We shall return in victory."
They marched off, blue banners in the sky
And teardrops were running from her eyes
Yet she thought: "If only I believe,
Time will bring him safely back to me."
[Verse]
When the red moon casts its light
His ghost travels through the night
Through the forests on wind's wings
Until he reaches the old hill
There she kneels before his grave
Where their love had once been born
And he caresses her face
Yet she feels not his embrace
Dark and red glows the winter sky
Two souls divided by the threads of time
Days turned into weeks
Moon for moon passed by
Yet no word from the battlefields arrived
Months turned into years
Peace now ruled the lands
Empty graves were dug under the sky
But never did she doubt his last oath
Each night she stepped out into the cold
She walked through the forest, climbed the hill
Where she had once sworn her love for him
And always, when summer bid goodbye
And moonlight blood-red fell from the sky
His ghost raised from dust-forgotten bones
Searching for what he had lost too soon
[Verse]
[Voice Bridge]
Decades had gone by; her hair ashen and thin
Realms had fallen, war and dead forgotten
When she walked the streets, they said that she was damned
A victim to a past long gone and rotten
Yet still she did not care for their words
When night came she prayed for his return
Each fall, when cold winds haunted the lands
She hoped to once again hold his hand
And as her last sunset drew close by
She lingered forgotten in the night
The moon's light shines bright upon her face
She's waiting as her life fades away
When the red moon casts its light
His ghost travels through the night
Through the forests on wind's wings
Until he reaches the old hill
There she kneels before his grave
Where their love had once been born
And as she closes her eyes
A ray of light breaks through the sky
And her skin turns into dust
As her soul breaks from its shell
And she joins him in the sky:
Two shapes now freed from grief and time
Then the winds take them away
Through the woods, it's trees asway
And she takes him by his hand
At last, in peace they find their end
Dark and red glows the winter sky
Two souls divided by the threads of time
Dark and red glowed the winter sky
Two souls united by the threads of time
Walking in a bar. Having a drink. Telling the girl to sing my favorite song...
I don't care that it's just a digital joy for the moment !
pro tip: if you listen to the song sung in a language you don't understand, you actually have a chance to get through it without bursting into tears!
Wait, is the end of this "Skin turns to dust, light breaks from the sky, soul falls to the sky" a reference to the cleansing? The cycle is seriously so well foreshadowed even the BARDS sing about it without knowing! And it gives such an interesting context to the ending, seeing the cleansing as a beautiful thing for some people.
“A ray of light burns in the sky and her skin turns into dust as her soul breaks from its shell”
Hol’ up.
O.O Damn...

Rest in peace, Sonja
I wonder if this line meant that she was a vampire and is referencing the war with Dawnguard OR if it means that after her husbands death, she went to the battlefront herself and got herself shot and killed. (The "ray of light" is the tracer round that "burns" her skin and then she is freed.)
@@MrSoulTagg Dude, its Enderal not Skyrim. The song is foreshadowing the Cleansing

This is exactly the moment when you enter the tavern not to spend the night ...

Go play it again my friend, with the SE Version. You won't regret it.
It has been years and I keep coming back back to this song. It has become essential to hear this every now and again for me to vent the soul.
Это прекрасно... Такая трогательная история, что я просто остановился посреди таверны и сначала долго слушал, а потом долго думал и грустил. Не каждый день что-то цепляет так...
Hundred men, they were,
As they set out to fight
For their country's banner in distant, foreign lands.
He bid her farewell,
A love still young and green;
She thought she'd soon be in his arms again.
He told her: "Await my safe return.
Trust in this last promise and stand firm
Once moonlight shines red onto the seas,
We shall return in victory."
They marched off, blue banners in the sky
And teardrops were running from her eyes,
Yet she thought: "If only I believe,
Time will bring him safely back to me."
_When the red moon casts its light,_
_His ghost travels through the night,_
_Through the forests on wind's wings_
_Until he reaches the old hill._
_There she kneels before his grave,_
_Where their love had once been born,_
_And he caresses her face,_
_Yet she feels not his embrace._
_Dark and red glows the winter sky,_
_Two souls divided by the threads of time._
Days turned into weeks,
Moon for moon passed by,
Yet no word from the battlefields arrived.
Months turned into years;
Peace now ruled the lands;
Empty graves were dug under the sky.
But never did she doubt his last oath:
Each night she stepped out into the cold;
She walked through the forest, climbed the hill
Where she had once sworn her love to him.
And always, when summer bid goodbye
And moonlight blood-red fell from the sky,
His ghost raised from dust-forgotten bones,
Searching for what he had lost too soon.
_When the red moon casts its light,_
_His ghost travels through the night,_
_Through the forests on wind's wings_
_Until he reaches the old hill._
_There she kneels before his grave,_
_Where their love had once been born,_
_And he caresses her face,_
_Yet she feels not his embrace._
_Dark and red glows the winter sky,_
_Two souls divided by the threads of time._
[Voice Bridge]
Decades had gone by,
Her hair ashen and thin;
Realms had fallen, war and dead forgotten.
When she walked the streets,
They said that she was damned,
A victim to a past long gone and rotten.
Yet still she did not care for their words.
When night came, she prayed for his return.
Each fall when cold winds haunted the lands,
She hoped to once again hold his hand.
And as her last sunset drew close by,
She lingered, forgotten in the night.
The moon's light shines bright upon her face-
She's waiting as her life fades away.
_When the red moon casts its light,_
_His ghost travels through the night,_
_Through the forests on wind's wings_
_Until he reaches the old hill._
_There she kneels before his grave,_
_Where their love had once been born,_
_And as she closes her eyes,_
_A ray of light breaks through the sky,_
_And her skin turns into dust_
_As her soul breaks from its shell_
_And she joins him in the sky,_
_Two shapes now freed from grief and time._
_Then the winds take them away_
_Through the woods, its trees asway,_
_And she takes him by his hand._
_At last, in peace, they find their end!_
_Dark and red glows the winter sky,_
_Two souls divided by the threads of time._
_Dark and red glowed the winter sky,_
_Two souls united by the threads of time._
These are the lyrics of "The Song of the Winter Sky."
*Miroslav Georgiev* thanks, since I'm not a native english speaker, those lyrics helped me get how deep this song truely is.
Thank you. I've a really hard time understanding songs in english. This was helpful.
Miros!
The first time I listened to this song was when I was doing Ca'liah Sakaresh's castle quest. I was haunted by the melody so much that my hands left the keyboard completely and I wept.
This songs are so good.Givevs me chills tbh
it does
It truly is a masterpiece, this game is perfect in so many ways. Can't wait for the upcoming DLC!
I guess , its that moment, when developers truly love what they make, because i love this game and songs
The story behind the song is beautiful! The singer is also amazing at delivering the emotions and message. Truly magnificent!!
Aidan La Sombra ikr? I've listened to it twice and both times I couldn't keep my eyes dry. It reminds me of the brutality of the American Civil War. Apparently I'm a sucker for love stories haha
Aidan La Sombra heyy, I know you!
@@MNFahmiHazizi how is it?
@@aidanlasombra SUPERB!! thanks for the recommendations, 😘😘
If you want to hear more of the singer (I'm doing very low profile advertisement here :D) her name is Lara Trautmann (Lara Loft is how she calls herself on TH-cam). th-cam.com/users/Ichitannfeatured She doesn't nearly get enough love. ^^
“No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away...”
― Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man
Wow... Just wow... I'm absolutely speechless. This is such a beautiful song. Amazing.
One of my favourite game moments was walking into the Sun Temple quarters for the first time, late at night. Everyone was asleep except me and the bard....and she sang this!
I just stood and cried.
Great job SureAi!
Either male or female, great choice for the singers. Thanks for taking the time to find them.
All the songs are good, except the "Aged Man". LOL
@@gracieannpinker1492 What are you talking about? The aged man was creepy and tied into the story really well. I loved hearing about him then actually meeting him
I would die to hear this in orchestral arrangement
love all of the bard songs in this game, its hard to believe this is technically a Skyrim mod. im so glad i stumbled upon this gem of a game. added dreadful river to my wishlist to show support for this creator. they need to do the music for ES 6 or at least the beyond skyrim mods. the world building in these songs are second to none
Danke, SureAi. Your game make me happier!
When I first heard this song, I was in Frostcliff, my character enjoying a pipe. My mouth dropped open, I was in complete awe.
This song feels like an anti-war song, that these two young lovers lost the happy life & family they could have had because he left to fight a war where he died.
Though it ends hopeful with them embracing one-another in the afterlife.
Like fresh out of a movie with a sad love story ending 😭
I'm crying, man, I just can't stop. Masterpiece
listening this i can clearly picture the story playing in my mind,and then the tears start dropping
I belived that witchers wolven storm the most emotional song ever, until i lisend this...
Best mod ever, any game, from FAR.
Cry every time I hear it :o
This song represents so well the inevitable, the tragic destiny, the bittersweet which runs through this entire masterful epic that is Enderal.
And also a testimony to the human condition. In those moments of listening, when a song like this opens my soul, I have so much compassion and love for humanity, for each of us. It's art, inspiration, divine flow.
Amazing song, amazing mod, such a professional work of art! Played the mod liked 8 months ago, did everything I could in the game, still keep coming back for the music..
Oh my god i'm french and i never understood the lyrics before and now that i can read it on the video my god i'm crying so much
Je les comprends partiellement aussi en les écoutant, mais une fois lues ça rend vraiment la chose triste.
I was in the Red Ox when this song caught my attention...set me to tears...big armor clad man with a big claymore weeping like a child... T_T
Me, myself top tier Infiltrator, Warrior Of The Shadows, thief, burglar and cynical trickster was caught off guard by some invisible ninjas who began cutting onions like there was no tomorrow...
How could anyone dislike this?
Hauntingly tragic and beautiful.
So perfect, hits heart so hard
when I first heard this song in the tavern it was.. something beautiful like from another world
The very first great song in Riverville makes you suddenly convinced everything from Skyrim will pale in comparison. All taverns (Fat Leoran, Frostcliff, and even Red Ox) suddenly sound so real thanks to your music mastery. And now, although the fate of Enderal has already been sealed I tend to visit various taverns every now and then just to listen to Lara Trautmann (a voice behind this piece) and other performing artists, sipping a (real) glass of whisky.
Песни бардов шикарные просто, я долго не выходил из таверны слушая песни. Песня бардов намного лучше чем в Скайриме. К сожалению в Скайриме очень слабо проработали песни бардов, да и очень мало, всего 2 песни
А здесь много разных мелодии. SureAI вы молодцы. Ваша игра просто шикарная. Желаю вам успехов, в дальнейших проектах👍👍❤️
Спасибо что вы создали такую замечательную игру
@Авторитет 5-Б класса ну все ровно слабенькая. Может это из-за локализаций, но на оригинале так же с гигантской паузой.
Its like a medieval version of "Travelling Soldier" by The (Dixie) Chicks 🥺
Went in to the tavern in the noble quarter, heard the bard singing this, couldn’t find him at first, but when I did, I was lost for a moment just sat there listening to this, honestly no game has ever made me sit down quietly and listen to a song like this one did
Lightborn be Damned... I was doing some light breaking and entering when I heard this song a floor above me and I dropped everthing to creep closer and cry my eyes out. I make the worst Shadowdancer... you can defeat me with a single song. D:
I need this song so much on spotify.
This can be called the anthem of all centuries-old wars. If approximately the same song had been written in ancient times, it would be relevant to this day.
Oh i want to replay Enderal now. I love this song so much
congratulations!!!! you are amazing!!! the game, songs....
some info: Lara is a german voice actor for video games and movies
Yeah she's great tho^-^
She also is one of the 6 moderators of the fantastic gaming show "Game Two"!
isn't she the german voice of lara croft?
Gameline she's the german voice of the young lara croft.
yeah she voiced the young version of lara croft in rise of the tomb raider
Now this is a real reason to go and hear those bards... just beautiful!
So beautiful! ❤️
I am crying.
Heard it first in that tavern by the snow mountain, actually stopped and went back to listen.
obligatory "heard this for the first time in frostcliff and loved it" comment
Sorry, but I'm taking this masterpiece to my DnD game to make dramatic performance in the elven royal hall :) Made me tear up when I've listened to this song in the Frostcliff Tavern first 10 times.
The only problem with this song is that it's too good. I can't think or concentrate when I listen to this song or a lot of Enderal's song.
The first time I heard this song, it was to go check on Tharaêl a few side quests after the end of Dark Chambers of our Minds. I just finished talking to him and checking in when the song started to play. I like to think that in the end of the game I freed him from his chains and gave him a new life.
Beautiful! Very nice voice!
It's insane to me that this is from modded content. This song is one of the most beautiful and touching I ever heard, game or no. Sadly hard task to make friends listen to this, but I will try my best to spread the word.
Thank you Lara for your performance. You're giving me chills no matter how many times I listen to this on repeat
both great.... german and english version..... love it
Its amazing!great voice!
.....this song is great and the lyrics are so well written
you guys dont get nearly enough views on these
I just bought everything, I could, on steam, just to support these guys. I'mma listen to entire discography of lara trautmann on spotify too.
Wow, it is really good music. I listen to this song with great pleasure.
Magnifique cette musique a grandement fait pour la réussite du jeu.
Not only is the music of this game amazing, this piece especially in my mind, but it is only looking back after you finish the game you can see how all the various elements including this song itself are foreshadowing so much. Spoiler hint below.
For those of you have beaten the game think of how it finishes in context of how this song ends.
i wish there would be a live perfomance somewhere..
lara‘s vocals are incredible
I hate this song.Not because is bad,but it makes me sad.Everytime I listen to it it makes me sad,cry,feel bad.I love this song.
I love that song :O
I want to make it my personal mission to get this put on Apple Music.
Thank you!!! For your game! Very very very much! Hello from Russia
masterpiece
Almost forgot to listen to this today
Listen again
Это шедевр!
I used to just enjoy this song, but I am living it now
Wow, past me had the truth. It's lonesome
F.
Hundred men they were
As they set out to fight
For their country's banner in distant, foreign lands
He bid her farewell
A love still young and green
She thought she'd soon be in his arms again
He told her:"Await my safe return.
Trust in this last promise and stand firm
Once moonlight shines red onto the seas
We shall return in victory."
They marched off, blue banners in the sky
And teardrops were running from her eyes
Yet she thought: "If only I believe,
Time will bring him safely back to me."
When the red moon casts its light
His ghost travels through the night
Through the forests on wind's wings
Until he reaches the old hill
There she kneels before his grave
Where their love had once been born
And he caresses her face
Yet she feels not his embrace
Dark and red glows the winter sky
Two souls divided by the threads of time
Days turned into weeks
Moon for moon passed by
Yet no word from the battlefields arrived
Months turned into years
Peace now ruled the lands
Empty graves were dug under the sky
But never did she doubt his last oath
Each night she stepped out into the cold
She walked through the forest, climbed the hill
Where she had once sworn her love for him
And always, when summer bid goodbye
And moonlight blood-red fell from the sky
His ghost raised from dust-forgotten bones
Searching for what he had lost too soon
When the red moon casts its light
His ghost travels through the night
Through the forests on wind's wings
Until he reaches the old hill
There she kneels before his grave
Where their love had once been born
And he caresses her face
Yet she feels not his embrace
Dark and red glows the winter sky
Two souls divided by the threads of time
Decades had gone by; her hair ashen and thin
Realms had fallen, war and dead forgotten
When she walked the streets, they said that she was damned
A victim to a past long gone and rotten
Yet still she did not care for their words
When night came she prayed for his return
Each fall, when cold winds haunted the lands
She hoped to once again hold his hand
And as her last sunset drew close by
She lingered forgotten in the night
The moon's light shines bright upon her face
She's waiting as her life fades away
When the red moon casts its light
His ghost travels through the night
Through the forests on wind's wings
Until he reaches the old hill
There she kneels before his grave
Where their love had once been born
And as she closes her eyes
A ray of light breaks through the sky
And her skin turns into dust
As her soul breaks from its shell
And she joins him in the sky:
Two shapes now freed from grief and time
Then the winds take them away
Through the woods, it's trees asway
And she takes him by his hand
At last, in peace they find their end
Dark and red glows the winter sky
Two souls divided by the threads of time
Dark and red glowed the winter sky
Two souls united by the threads of time
This is my absolute favorite song just a pity that the song is not available on Spotify
I heard a male singer in a Duneville cavern and it was great!
OH my GOD i just came again to listen to this because it came into my mind , AND I REMEMBERED THE WHOLE STORY IN THE GAME , WICH MADE ME CRY AGAIN ! i just Wish that SUREAI make a continuing of this :( i wish this SO FUCKING BAD !!! id pay even 100 EURO, i wont give a damn :(
amasing song
I downloaded this and made it my ringtone
December 2018 - once more with the Expansion
Best Song
I heard this song from a streamer I watch. She shared this song in her live stream. I started to cry while i listened to it.
You definitely should play the game, it's simply the greatest story driven role playing game of all times.
