Celtic Music - Ode to the Fallen

[@AdrianvonZiegler]

It honours me that my song has been played at his funeral.

[@yassmansourorti]

You can't imagine, Adrian, what your song is being used for. I wish you'll see it by yourself in a few months. Thank you for existing.

[@haleybrewster753]

It feels like a Medieval Viking kneeling beside brother in arms. “I’ll see you in VALHALLA my brother.”

You've done better than most of us ever probably will.

[@Caitpop1220]

Sorry about your loss I almost never see mine🥺🥺🥺

[@_JS96]

Adrian, I have a deeeep affinity for this kind of music, I suffer from depression and life is honestly very grey and lifeless, but when I listen to your music I feel. I feel alive and I feel emotional pain that is not the pain from depression. It's an oddly good pain. Pain that means I can feel. Adrian you are helping me get through life, without even knowing it, just by living yours. Thank you very much.

[@09stoneheart]

You said it brother.

[@TouchTheShark]

That's some of the highest praise an artist can receive. Every artist hopes they can help someone to feel or learn something.

[@_JS96]

Still gets me every time I listen to it. I cannot get enough. Since I found this artist my life has honestly gotten much better. Once again, Thank you Adrian, never stop.

[@coolgirltomka]

I can't agree more,Jonah! I hope you're life will get better very soon! and yes,your pain means that you're simply alive and you feel the living.. All the best regards to you..x Tamara.

[@TheElvesFaithful]

He pulled himself up on the ledge, grateful for the dry bit of land the cave gave to him, the arrows piercing his chest. His ship was burning, sinking, and he could hope for no rescue now. But he accepted his pain, his fate, content with his life and all he had been. He thought of his beloved, how he would finally be able to see her. Taken in her youth, he had sworn to protect everyone like her, and all others. As he lay there, a small glimmer of light appeared. It was the Light Fairy that had tried to save his life. She was glowing so faint, yet her light still flowed along the dark waves. Her wings gently folded as she came to a rest on his outstretched hand. He smiled down at his little companion, the pain numbing with his fading world. She curled into a ball, her light slowly going out. He rested his head against a rock, a tear streaming down his face. He would see his beloved again, safe and at peace where he left her. The fairy closed her eyes, moving no more, but her light lingered, bathing him in warmth. His blood ceased to flow, his ship sunk completely, and he at last closed his own eyes. Her face replaced the glowing waves, more beautiful, his moon and star, her voice replacing the sound of the ocean, happiness in its purest form. He had served well, and it was well worth it at the end...

[@Nintendolike]

Did you come up with that by yourself?

[@TheElvesFaithful]

Mhm. I love to write, and I was listening to this again and I was just in the mood to give a small story to the picture.

[@Nintendolike]

That's impressive.

This is where I come when I'm hurting. I found this song at 17 and it blew my mind. Here I am at 26, once more leaning on the beauty of your music. Know that your music has helped an unnumbered amount of people thought to be lost souls.

[@Sanctorum1]

Ehy! I make similar music on my channel...I would love if my music could be helpful as Adrian's one...give it a listen, if you want to ^^

"There's all these stories where some brave hero decides to give their lives to save the day, and because of their sacrifice, the good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everyone lives happily ever after... But the hero, never gets to see that ending, they'll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference, they'll never know if the day was really saved.. In the end... They just had to have faith.... Ain't that a bitch?"

Am I the only one thinking about what an amazing story this thumbnail could tell?

[@ArisenPlumber]

Not at all

[@thealienbrothersmkb4068]

Ode to the fallen. For they have served us well. They deserve the highest of honor. And the best respect.

[@jacobmccloskey8445]

When listening to this I imagine a family losing a noble warrior in a battle to protect they're homeland and his sacrifice is what kept them safe and for that they celebrate his life with a sense of nostalgia

[@aidansumner8364]

+jacob mccloskey Or a norse warrior invading a homeland. Or defending his tribe. Since that is a Valkyrie taking him to Valhalla

[@jacobmccloskey8445]

+Aidan Sumner yeah :)

[@CRMfanforLSU]

What is truly sad and amazing at the same time, is that a friend of mine died in a car crash a few weeks ago. While his family was setting up for the funeral I request this song to be played during the visitation and the funeral. They said no. However on the night of the visitation i hear this song playing so I asked his father why is this song if you didnt like it. He just smiled and said "Sometimes it appears the fallen have a way of influencing the choices you make. Just as the Gods of old influenced the way of man in their earliest time on Earth. The spirits of old and now are just as powerful in today's world as the gods were back then." I stood there in shock because his father was a man of very few words. I finally said "It seems that music made for the dead puts them at peace." He just nodded and walked off to find his wife. After the visitation and funeral, alot of the comments were "The music seems to calm even the dead"

[@karzatben8828]

[@matheusquintiliano6483]

"Stand on the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters". I believe deep down on my soul that they would answer yes. All my gratitude and admiration to europeans fallen in battle.

[@Aedyn91]

Adrian, I'd like to take a moment to thank you. When i first heard this over two years ago, I wrote a short story. That short story turned into a full background for a world of my creation. From there, it turned into a novel. Then a trilogy revolving around the world which I had created. My "Seven Realms" series is now going to be published. All thanks to the inspiration that your music gave me. Words can't express enough how grateful I am, or the enjoyment I get every time that I listen to your music, but this at least gives something. 90% of the music that I listen to whenever I write is of your creation. Stories, poems, roleplay characters, Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, etc. You have inspired many great things, time and time again, and I'd be willing to bet my life's work that I'm not the only person you've inspired in such a way with your art. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Sincerely, Alexa, a fan.

[@anthonyharwood5005]

Best of luck to you. May your novels never fail to gain fans.

[@nightkiller831]

Alex Whyte I can accept if you're going to tell Adrian how much you like the music, but don't take credit for something that isn't yours. You didn't even do it well. The Seven Realms series isn't yours at all, unless one or the other is a fake name because the author of that series is CINDA Williams CHIMA, not Alex Whyte. Also, if you really were the author, I doubt you would have a random youtube channel for Dark Souls and such with zero reference to you being an author.

[@Aedyn91]

Or it's a separate series? Lol.

[@Aedyn91]

sleepypanda57.wix.com/my-rp-stuff#!the-seven-realms/c1h15 There's a small description of each on the page that I use for RP on Chatango... >> Lol.

[@Aedyn91]

www.fictionpress.com/s/3064816/1/Avalon-The-Beginning Also that if the first wasn't enough. It's a bit of a backstory on Avalon. This is NOT an attempt to get publicity for it in any shape or form, I simple don't take kindly to people trying to lie and say that I was not the creator of something. My series and that of Cinda Williams Chima are entirely different.

[@CosVic1998]

This music is so melancholic. It sounds like a great warrior just passed away and people remember what he has done in his life. Amazing music.

[@Bookieboy007]

I just started listening to this band and man......I love it...... Honor and pride are the words that come to my mind listening to this. Hope yall continue on to make beautiful music

[@bradmcdonald6559]

We lift our swords and sheilds to the sky and let out a fierce cry for our fallen comrades. My cousin died in Iraq when I was younger. The last thing he ever said to me was, "Courage is not the absence of fear but the will to over come it, and the knowledge that something else is more important. Do not fear death, cousin, for it is but love transcended. All that we truly love comes back to us in the end."

[@GraveyardDave19]

Amazing song. May those warriors rest in peace. Never will their might and power be matched in Battle

[@TheBallazan]

Wow. Nice one there. Fits the music well.

[@aleksandrlannore2199]

Look... I serve in the Navy, in my case it becomes especially magical when I listen to this during the long nights at sea, with only the moonlight, the stars, the sound of the sea and a dark horizon as companions...

[@tauknifedancer5916]

There is darkness in this world there is pain and that is unmistakeable. But maybe for a brief second we can huddle around the warmth of this song dropping our weapons of hate and leaving behind our armor of sadness and we can comfort one another like brothers and sisters. Maybe we can rest for just a moment and this world will allow it for rest should not be reserved for the dead. Just maybe we could comfort one another for what we have lost on the journey through life those that we loved and those that we cherished maybe we can take a breath of air and let our struggles go so that we can once again start on our journey but never alone.

[@KyuubiGoku1]

Even though I know you didn't directly do it, I thank you for allowing me to remember the ones I've lost in my life. The ones who have helped me become who I am today.

[@MegaBookWormGirl]

I just rewatched Fellowship of the Ring, and man, I'm really feeling Boromir feels right now.

[@aidansumner8364]

He arrived on the foreign shores of rich fertile land. Excitement filled within him. Lust for battle crept through his body to a smile of the fortunes he'd bring upon his family, or the great hall that awaited him in Asgard. He spotted crows fly across the sky silently as the men on the longboats below spoke of thrills and glory of the battle. How their infertile homeland'd have an ever brighter future of great trade. But the invasion was not an invasion of the norsemen, but a trap awaiting for them to fall into. The long ship crashed into the shores aflame. The man watched his friends die in front of him. He smiled, knowing he'd rejoin them in Folkvangr, regularly visiting Valhalla to meet the great Jarls of the past. The part he looked forward to most of all was not the glory, or meeting the gods. It was for the day to come when his wife, sons and daughters rejoin with him. I could feel the beautiful Valkyrie rotting away his corpse into an essence and taking him away to his new home.

[@maximumpainer16]

Aidan Sumner shit man, brought tears to my ears! so beautiful

[@PaleRevenant86]

Aidan Sumner I couldn't help but tear up, damn you a writer by any chance?

[@TheBallazan]

That was a true pleasure to read. Thank you for sharing such a beauty with me.

[@dcl32]

Bad.

[@MrGrenardo]

depressed much?

[@Caldella]

This immediately brought to mind a poem I read years ago from an old acquaintance. He'd written it as a memorial to all those who had lost battles: how history is written by the victors and forgets to care about what happens to the losers. Those who never receive a toast, a memorial, or much mention anywhere - they were just as human and went through just as much, though they find themselves looked down upon afterward. It was a beautiful poem and brought me to tears. Now I wish I could read it again...

[@billrichardson7285]

This song has always reminded me of all of those who's names where lost and forgotten, becoming nothing more than a series of scratches on a stone. How many need to die and how many beautiful places need to be destroyed to prove that war and conflict are not how one truly achieves any sort of peace.

[@uorimoon]

I honestly don't comment very much on videos, or in general. But this is by far one of my favourite songs I've ever heard. I can sit and listen to this song in any mood and calm down incredibly fast. Its so soft but strong at the same time. I thank you for releasing this song to all of us! I can forever listen to this song and remain at peace.

[@KyrshaAlishanni]

Your music....It brings back the memories of my fallen comrades. The days we spent frolliking in the world we live in. The days I spent mourning them. And the days Ive spent pondering seeing them again(the world of the dead)...Its great music...and I think I will spend every scent I have on buying your music

[@wentianwang3428]

This masterpiece reminds me of seeing the Dying Gaul for the first time in Art History class. The amount of respect the sculpture pays to a dying enemy and thus life in general is so deeply touching. The tranquil, heavy, yet almost triumphant melody of this ode is the best depiction to a heroic death that I could possibly imagine of.

[@monicabrucks2232]

Throughout the centuries, stories come and go, legends pass. But, memories stay true to power and are in the minds of us all.

[@Varitok1]

This song reminds me of coming to terms with life being over or dying, embracing the end and feeling content. feeling joyous for what you did in life and knowing a brighter day will come.

[@Stardweller1]

May you finally rest in peace, noble one. No more war. No more sorrow. No more hate. Only peace.

[@2KXMKR]

I would love it if this started to play after you defeat Alduin in Sovngarde.

[@zantensai5965]

I do so believe that it would definitely be fitting

[@spmack78]

At one with me. I dream and I see. The blood within me. It's history. It flowed once in a Finlay. A handsome warrior young and free. He stood against evil and tyranny. Brave and strong. He was but a guest here on earth. He did not live long. My blood knows not his death but only the life he passed on. The torch I proudly carry on...

[@VirtuesOfSin]

I love you're music, very emotional. I wouldn't say this is mournful music, but definitely a memorial, enough to make me feel the sorrow but at the same time, the "he wouldn't want me to be sad"

She knelt next to the motionless body of her beloved, tears streaming down her cheeks. She remembered this voice like she remembered her own name. She knew she would never hear it again. Darkness filled her from within, and she knew she was nothing without him. She slouched over his face, and gave him one last kiss. She then dove into oblivion, leaving the crush world around her, to be with the one she loved. All was white. From the robes she wore, to the plants and buildings around her. Then she saw him, the loved one she had lost for a time, was with her. She ran to him, calling his name. He spun her in the air before kissing her lovingly. They were reunited at last, to be together for as long Heavan existed.

[@BrightCancer]

He could see it. The arrow gracefully soaring through the air - straight towards her chest. He lunged. There was no time for thinking it over. He took his life for her. The arrow struck him in the heart, piercing his skin and sinking deep beneath his muscle and flesh. The blood poured out, and when he tried to take out the arrow from his chest, his hands absorbed the sticky, thick red mess, coating his hands a violent red and filling him with a feeling of honour. He hesitated. Leave it in there, he thought as he tumbled to the ground, landing hard against the crumbling bank of the river. She crouched beside him, taking the hand that was not a painted red in her own and kissing it. She weeped for him. Thanked him for his courage, his bravery, and that his death would not be forgotten. He was a legacy. He had fought for his people, and as his eyes began to blur, he knew he would be remembered. He accepted his death, bleakly croaked back his love for her and knew there was no way he could live. The final few things he saw were his own people taking out the last of the enemies, and his girl, her beautiful, icy eyes staring deeply into his own. He did not feel not a hint of regret, but an honour. Just a quick bit of creative writing I thought up was I listened to this moving piece of music. No story in particular. Felt like posting it :)

My entire Life I was told that I was Irish and Italian.. For Christmas 2017, My Wife gifted Me a "mail in" DNA kit from a lab based in England. (NOT a generic, commercialized version like a "23 and me" or "ancestry.con") I found out that.. I AM NEITHER! I found out that I am in fact.. SCANDINAVIAN. (Sami, Finland, Norway were My top 3 highest percentages) When I say that, Learning what MY true form or base is REALLY made of... Changed NOTHING!.. ONLY that.. EVERYTHING, just made sense! It *allowed* Me to completely lose My religion.. And it granted Me the safety to, replace it with Spirituality! I've ALWAYS believed in.. Peace and Love By ANY means necessary! I've ALWAYS believed that.. DOING the RIGHT thing isn't ALWAYS easy to do.. KNOWING, what the RIGHT is.. ALWAYS seemed like an easy "No Brainier" to Me.

[@Leonidae]

Celak Biraldan better read the books. then you will understand why the movies are a cash grab instead of true representation of the trilogy.

[@petursimonsen9674]

Leonide u are right. First i saw the movies and then afterwards i red the books and then i you'll see there are missing alot and it's making more sense

[@violenceteacher6669]

Leonidae I don't think the movies were a 'cash grab' at all. I have read the LotR books and think both the books and movies are masterpieces. Although they did change some things, the greatness and message of the story can still be felt in the movies as they are in the books. For the leaving some parts of the story out, they simply had to, the movies are all already over 4 hours each (extended editions), and they kept a great portion of the story in, only taking out those that they thought were necessary (Tom Bombadill, The Scouring of the Shire, Theoden's Funeral, etc.) With all the work they put into those movies, I'd say they deeply cared about the story instead of only the money. You can say that The Hobbit movies are a 'cash grab' (although I enjoy them as well) but the Lord of the Rings movies are tremendous and I don't see how anyone could say that they were simply 'cash grabs.' Cheers!

USAGE: If your project (any project at all, movie, photography, websites, live shows etc.) is non-commercial, which means it doesn't earn you any money, then you can use my music for free. Only given credits are necessary, that's the only condition. Credits would be totally fine as a small text in the movie, website etc. written "Music by Adrian von Ziegler". In live shows and other projects where including a text would be difficult, an oral mention would suffice as well. =) On KZbin and twitch you can also use my music for free even if you monetize your videos by the way! ANY school projects have automatic free permission to use my music, no license payment is required. If the project is commercial, meaning it makes money in any way (except KZbin and twitch, see above), you would have to buy a license for the music you want to use. The license payment would be small in almost all cases except for big budget productions. It would be a one-time payment, so you can use the music you bought forever in that project. It does not give you any rights over the music however, so remixing the music, re-selling it etc. is not allowed. Giving credits is also necessary in commercial projects. Remixing, sampling and other forms of altering the original song into a new piece of music is also generally not allowed unless the remix is 100% non-commercial and labelled with the original title and author of the song (me). Adding bird noises, nature sounds or similar things are allowed. Nightcore alterations are also allowed while non-commercial and labelled with original title and author (Google "Nightcore" in case of confusion). So if your project is non-commercial or a KZbin project, just give credits and there is nothing holding you back from using my songs. ANY song you want. =) If it's commercial stuff just write me a personal message or an email at [e-mail] and inform me about the scale and details of the project and we'll make a deal. REQUESTED MUSIC: I generally do not accept offers to make songs on request or to write music for movies, games etc. One reason is that I can't handle it time-wise but even if I had the necessary time I would still stay away from it because I - quite honestly - don't really like to do it.^^ I basically make music to express whatever topic moves me, randomly. I tried it a few times but I have the best creativity and feel the most freedom and happiness when I do that completely alone and without being “employed” by someone. I hope that’s understandable.^^ Important: I do not allow my music to be used in any project that has a clear political, racist or discriminatory message. By that I mean anything that goes from direct political, racist or discriminatory videos or underlining speeches with my music, onto remixing my melodies into a song that has lyrics with clear political, racist or discriminatory message and similar things that clearly promote these things.

[@mangaartist4573]

thank you so much! I greatly appreciate it. And don't worry I'm only doing this for a project, I'm not planning to monetize something that isn't mine. I will add credits saying it's your music at the end of the video. all credit will go to you. thank you so much for responding.;)

[@scottwilliams542]

Adrian, where are you in society and media? you have the magic, so show the rest of the world what true music and talent really is. I want to be able to switch channel on tv and hear your music, or turn on the radio and hear people talking your name.

[@Alperen_Erdogan]

Is anyone else reminded of Rangers Apprentice?

[@alberts.2562]

Small world, I remember reading through the series. How far has it gone since then? How many books are there now?

On to Valhalla, Olaf One-Brow.

[@jimmyjackson7157]

+Vaerthelmn 52 His tale is a proud one... Wait that's not Olaf One-Brow, Looks like him but i am pretty sure without a doubt that is Sigismund Arrow-Sponge.

[@jesseamos9606]

as a soldier and law enforcement officer I've seen so many of my brothers fall.when I look at this picture I see the strong warrior of hold that gives his all to the very end.When there was no hope at all he kept fighting on.At the one moment when he felt alone,a friend that was watching him and seen a warrior of pure heart,needed help need warmth at the very end and ensured him that he would be ok.It need to be warriors and heros with honor like this again.

[@potatoqueencalamity]

Where do you find your inspiration?

[@AdrianvonZiegler]

From everywhere^^

[@potatoqueencalamity]

Cool for my novel I mainly found my inspiration by watching the wolves. How they live and care for their families. Did u kno they bury their dead.

[@silverbro13]

Raven Scarlett Nope but I've always had a respect for them

[@potatoqueencalamity]

silverbro13 I have devoted my life to protect and preserve the wolves. When I was young wolves saved my life so it's my responsibility to return the favor.

[@silverbro13]

[@julessolomon4220]

[@jakobteeter9740]

Frank M I think about it all the time wishing I was born in a different time,a different world because their have been so many times when I'm ashamed to be apart of this generation of humanity

[@kubajjaszi]

We were all born into different times. We just don't recall it while we are focused into phisical bodies.

[@theoneoftheage2385]

Hell yaeh, I fell like that all the time. Too bad magic aint real along with it, or I would have a SERIOUS ENVY ISSUE RIGHT NOW.

[@jurii9486]

Where are you from? Brittany?

[@AdrianvonZiegler]

+Всезар Бѣлохорватський No, I'm from Switzerland. =)

[@jurii9486]

Adrian von Ziegler so are you celtic nationaly or just celtic tunes are felt close to yourself?

[@AdrianvonZiegler]

Всезар Бѣлохорватський It's difficult to know because the real Celtic tribes were already disbanded almost 2000 years ago now in Switzerland. But historically I live and grew up in the ancient lands of the Celtic Helvetii tribe, so... maybe the nature and history I grew up in influenced me. I don't know for sure, as I said. But it's possible, because Celtic music feels like I was born with it. It feels like home to me.

[@jurii9486]

Adrian von Ziegler So the 2nd. (Feels close to you). Well yes, celts inhabited those lands in the past, but nowadays only scots, welsh, bretons and irish remain. Well i like celtic tunes as well, and you are doing a great job. Best regards from Ukraine.

[@ErikaMaria-lw8en]

+Adrian von Ziegler I was not born or grew up there, but, I feel the same...It feels like home.

[@YEMAluvshai]

I got Adrian's music for Skyrim, and this song played right after I killed Alduin, while the citizens in Whiterun hails me for ending the World-eater. Gave me the chills.

[@carlmichta1776]

[@mariamsirona8834]

Its beautiful ... make me go to my other life, the time when i make a promise... and leave my heart and my soul, the time cant stop me to remember, I remember!!

[@DrD00M5]

Adrian's music, in less than seconds it makes us imagine its scenario ,like this one, it made me imagine a story(its last chapter and scene xD) of a brave warrior, who have been seriously injured while finishing a quest with his own friends and comrades and they thought that he's dead so they left him in a hurry and deep sadness because they were been chasing by the enemy,but in fact the brave warrior was still alive he tried to follow his comrades after a long fight against the enemy and still thinking hopefully that his friends and family are waiting for him and that was the reason to keep fighting until his last blood drop,however, when he reached the coast of the island/cave he found out fatally that he was late a couple of hours ( the boat has already left) ,then he lie down trying miserably to rest from that long epic battle, and he saw a fairy that bring him some old memories;when he saw for the first time a fairy,when he met the love of his life and in the same period he made some loyal friends, and now at his last breaths he says:"How ironic I only saw a fairy twice, the first time, in my glorious moments and the second in my last ones"and the story ends with a naive laugh from the brave warrior and its smile facing the death...

[@Kozuechan2894]

I was lisntening to the song, doing other things at the same time, and I came back on the youtube page and saw the song's image.. oh my god, just... beautiful

[@najahansen7559]

A beautiful piece of music, this is..... Makes me think of my grandpa, for some reason... And of the entire world.........

[@Lochneil]

Fallen, but not forgotten, Bloodied, but not broken, Beloved ones, sent to unloving lands, At peace, but shook the world, Are the true warriors, who fought for either good or ill, of the years gone by

[@maxs0usa]
