Lyrics: In the dead dark hours after midnight When the world seems to stop in its place You can see a little more clearly You can look your life in the face You can see the things that you have to Speak the words to true for the day In the dead dark hours after midnight Little friend will you listen and stay In the time when I never knew you I could view the world as my own I was God's own gift to his creatures And I wore an armor of stone I was wise and faithful and noble I was pompous, pious and cold I was cruel when I never meant it Too cool to touch or to hold It was you who broke through my armor It was you who breached through the wall With your pain and your desperation How could I not answer your call How could I have guessed you would touch me And in ways I couldn't control How could I have known I would need you Or have guessed you have seen to my soul For as I taught you so you taught me How to love and why to care For your love had thawed my winter Taught me how to feel and dare When I looked tonight I discovered I could not against and oppose In the dead dark hours after midnight I learned that I owed you my heart
Its Herald Kris singing the song, the little details people forget is that Jadus taught Kris and Dirk also. Its mentioned in Arrows Flight when Talia is talking to dirk and Kris. She pulls out My lady and Kris says that he had wondered who my lady went to after Jadus had died..
@sukamysia I'm pretty sure this song is sung by Herald Jadus talking to Talia. Herald Jadus is an old herald who lost his leg during the Tedril Wars, trying to save the king. He is mostly forgotten about in the Collegium until Talia finds him playing the lute My Lady (there's a song about her as well sung by Talia). Jadus ends up teaching Talia about music and she helps him to stop feeling lonely
this song is being sung by Kris about how talia changed him from being very selfish and concieded person to a person who cared more and became a lot more humble also.
Isn't this song about Vaniel? It fits him and Lendel way better than Kris. From the way he acted bevor they became a couple to their talk on their first night it really captures their emotions
It depends on the interpretation, in the appendix it says Kris and Talia, but some people believe it's about Jadus and Talia or some other characters. I personally thinks it's about Firestorm.
@@spleenslegday9760 i grew up listing to this song in circles, and the woman who sang it most said she thought it was about Vanyal. But I've always thought it was Jades
Lyrics:
In the dead dark hours after midnight
When the world seems to stop in its place
You can see a little more clearly
You can look your life in the face
You can see the things that you have to
Speak the words to true for the day
In the dead dark hours after midnight
Little friend will you listen and stay
In the time when I never knew you
I could view the world as my own
I was God's own gift to his creatures
And I wore an armor of stone
I was wise and faithful and noble
I was pompous, pious and cold
I was cruel when I never meant it
Too cool to touch or to hold
It was you who broke through my armor
It was you who breached through the wall
With your pain and your desperation
How could I not answer your call
How could I have guessed you would touch me
And in ways I couldn't control
How could I have known I would need you
Or have guessed you have seen to my soul
For as I taught you so you taught me
How to love and why to care
For your love had thawed my winter
Taught me how to feel and dare
When I looked tonight I discovered
I could not against and oppose
In the dead dark hours after midnight
I learned that I owed you my heart

For those who haven't read the book, My Lady is a small lap type harp.

Caleb Griffing In the Appendix, it says Kris:Arrows Flight, though I like your interpretation
Wasn't My Lady a harp?
@@user-vz3xv8kb3x Yes
Although this song was not about them, I think that this fits Vanyel and Stefan very well.
I love this i love all mercedes books but the Valdemar ones are my fav.
I wish I could find the flute music, I would love to try to learn some of these myself...these are so pretty
this song is being sung by Kris about how talia changed him from being very selfish and concieded person to a person who cared more and became a lot more humble also.
this here is the correct answer.
Yeah this is Herald Jadus singing to Talia after her run in with those royal brats that tried to kill her.

who is it about?
