[@chestmetalcovers]

Nice song bro, again 🤘 Can you give me your opinion on my cover of The Wellerman ? It's pirate metal so you should like it I think ☠

[@thedragonkinggamer5348]

Love the chorus done differently for each of you, makes it hit a lot better and feel more powerful.

[@emilydidier4890]

Do a metal cover of More by J-hope!

[@Soldatoflife]

Not sure of a few lines...but lyrics! ''You heroes left untested, your destiny awaits. It's growing in your chest, and your ride for Baldur's Gate. No fallen Lord of Murder, no foe could 'ere compare. Through the danger faced and fervor that will face you once you're there. Come one come all, answer the call. The hero that's rising inside. Come one come all, answer the call. In the darkness you carry the light. Our champion's minstrels missin', the Harpers need more men. In death the darkness listen, to secrets left unsaid. The gods won't give you pity, if here your journey ends. You soul soaks to our city here, to those you must defend. Come one come all, answer the call. The hero that's growing inside. Come one come all, answer the call. In the darkness you carry the light. The greatest of your battles, will always be within. Your mind starts to unravel, so why not let them win. A permanent transcendence, at the poultry price of death. Embrace the ceremorphosis, and breathe in your last breathe. Come one come all, answer the call. Of the evil that's growing inside. Come one come all, answer the call. Of the darkness consuming your light. I'm afraid that you've run out of time...''

[@marconeves1979]

BRAVO to ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You really DID answer the call!!!

[@kaeldrarhiannon]

It genuinely cracks me up how your friendship with Colm has led to more metal songs from him, and more folk songs from you lol

[@jonathanymusic]

😂😂😂😂

[@toddmaliepaard9777]

I love all of their collabs, and bringing Rachel in for this one was great. Colm dabbling in villain songs lately has been awesome too.

[@mitchellkhollesi6000]

This is my new song obsession!!!! Cant stop listening

[@BigMisterApple]

who?

[@SarajevoKyoto]

​@BigMisterApple Colm McGuinness, he's got a channel here on KZbin as well. Has a lot of folk songs and sea shanties

[@aeliaaeldyne3310]

Rachel's breathy voice makes ceremorphosis sound threateningly enticing

[@AlexQuill63]

I mean it's canon in the game that Mind Flayers can disguise themselves as your greatest fantasy in order to lure you close enough to eat your brain, so it's not outside the realm of possibility for that to be what's going on here - A mind flayer wearing the face of Rachel singing a siren song about ceromorphosis to lure in unwitting simps xD

[@haku8135]

Eloquently working Ceramorphosis into a song? Now that's talent right there.

[@j.d.4697]

😅

[@catchingphoenixrtr]

I heard that after having played through Act 1 and most of Act 2 and LOST IT

[@robbieh9873]

That was also what I thought when I first heard that line lmao

[@RachelHardy]

LETS GOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥🔥 thanks for having me on board for this, Jonathan! What a blast. Cannot WAIT to play this behemoth of a game

[@gacrazy65]

That was fucking DARK and HAUNTING! BRAVO!

[@drewlarsen5226]

This whole song is awesome, though your part is so dark and haunting it just resonates so much with the Drow Bard I will be making for my 1st playthrough

[@abeluscanga2648]

You increíble Rachel your beutiful

[@FezzRosato]

I am ready to accept the ceramorphosis after that

[@darrensanderson1031]

Holy SHIT Rachel :O I'm like "Oh yeah, this song is awesome", and then your part comes in and suddenly I'm damned *terrified*

[@theTranarchist]

You heroes left untested Your destiny awaits It's growing in your chest And you ride for Baldur's Gate No fallen Lord of Murder Nor foe could e'er compare To the danger, fate, and fervor that will face you once you're there Come one! Come all! Answer the call! Of the hero that's rising inside! Come one! Come all! Answer the call! In the darkness you carry the light! Our Champion, Minsc, is missing The Harpers need more men In death, the darkness listening To secrets left unsaid The gods won't give you pity If here your journey ends Your soul sewn to our city Here the both you must defend! Come one! Come all! Answer the call! Of a hero that's growing inside! Come one! Come all! Answer the call! In the darkness you carry the light! (Come one! Come all! Answer the call!) (Come one! Come all! Answer the call!) The greatest of your battles Will always be within Your mind starts to unravel So why not let them win? A permanent transcendence At the paltry price of death Embrace the ceremorphosis And breathe in your last breath... Come one, come all. Answer the call Of the evil that's growing inside. Come one, come all. Answer the call Of the darkness consuming your mind. I'm afraid that you've run out of time.

[@hannahmetzger4880]

*And breathe in your last breath. There is a difference between breathe and breath.

[@JohnnyCoyote]

"The greatest of your battles will always be within." That is some genuine wisdom and an amazing line.

[@drizzt102]

Full credit to Rachel, she fit that slowed down, beautiful yet horrendously disconcerting third verse wonderfully. I loved it yet was like shivering cause fucking mind flayers *cringes* so she definitely got the vibe and did good with it well done.

[@GeneralArin]

All the original songs have been fantastic! You've been getting such a wide variety of sponsored songs and they all are great

[@jonathanymusic]

Thank you so much!

[@Korica]

I love how the last portion of the song keeps the same melody and lyrics but twists them into a darker version. Really well done.

[@ShadowyFlare]

I'm so hyped for Baldur's Gate 3 and this just made me more hyped!

[@jonathanymusic]

Me too!!

[@HayatoWang]

Only 17 hours left to wait ! I think i am going to wait it by listening this song some more !

[@Wizardbeard91]

First game since ghosts of tsushima where the hype was worth it

[@blazetheplaneswalker]

Let's return to the sword coast Faerûn needs heros once more GO FOR THE EYES BOO THE EYES!!!

[@rasenshuriken9076]

I really loved how the whole tone of the song shifted from this optimistic call-to-adventure vibe to something more dark and ominous in the final verse and chorus, and the major-to-minor switch was a vital part of that. Excellent job as always, Jon!

[@BucketOfTurtles]

Colm’s vocal range is something no mere mortal can hope to comprehend

[@pastykake897]

The tone shift in the last verse adds a lot of dimension to the song. I enjoy that y'all put a twist on the chorus lyrics there. Hearing echoes of your voice under Rachel's made it more sinister, too.

[@ColmRMcGuinness]

Please name my character for me. I am not good at the computer games

[@louisrobitaille5810]

Ngl, your name sounds like it's coming straight from one 😅.

[@hannahmetzger4880]

How 'bout Khul? As in, Khul the Barbarian (which is what I'm assuming your character is, or at least the DnD equivalent of one? IDK :P).

[@TheRunoben]

Col-Man

[@Jovasjingels]

Tav it’s a classic

[@shadowldrago]

A badass Bard song with a nice beat and its own Dark Reprise? If you're trying to seduce us, this is a damn good effort.

[@marbleherogaming735]

Typical bard, always seducing everyone

[@ChikalaandFearless]

Every time I hear this song, I am reminded of that beautiful moment of excitement and joy when I first played the game; the anticipation of an adventure and the desire to prevail, the desire to uncover every little secret it had to offer. I felt like a real adventurer just setting out into the world for the first time and never wanting that feeling to end. You've all done an amazing job with this song in putting that feeling into words and music. Answer the Call will forever be a cherished song to me.

[@RomBombadil]

Roll initiative, adventures - your destinies await! 10/10, the vocals and instrumentals were all phenomenal.

[@jonathanymusic]

Thanks!

[@cixtos]

My best attempt at the lyrics (still on the clock lol): You heroes left untested, Your destiny awaits, It’s growing in Your chest and, You ride for Baldur’s Gate, No fallen lord of murder, No foe could er compare, To the Danger, Fate and Fervor that will face You once You’re there, Come one, Come all, Answer the call, Of the hero that’s rising inside, Come one, Come all, Answer the call, In the Darkness You carry the Light, Our Champion Minsc is missin’, The Harpers need more men, In Death the Darkness lessening, To secrets left unsaid, The Gods won’t give You pity, If here Your journey ends, Your soul sold to our city, Here the post You must Defend, Come one, Come all, Answer the call, Of a hero that’s growing inside, Come one, Come all, Answer the call, and the Darkness You carry Aligns, The greatest of Your battles, Will always be within, Your mind starts to unravel, So why not let Them win, A permanent transcendence, At the Paltry price of Death, Embrace the Ceramorphosis and Breathe in Your Last Breath, Come one, Come all, Answer the call, of the Evil that’s growing inside, Come one, Come all, Answer the call, of the Darkness Consuming Your Mind, I’m afraid that You’ve run our of time…

[@breathofthedeity2366]

The only mistake I currently see is in the Colm section, I believe it's "In death the darkness listening" instead of lessening, but I might be wrong. It might indicate the darkness listening to the secrets at hand.

[@RedPandaAllTheWay1721]

@@breathofthedeity2366 yeah also at the end of his part i think hes saying "your soul sewn to our city here, though both you must defend"

[@jemiahpenzien3668]

@@jemiahpenzien3668 No The Harpers are a organisation of people who fight evils things. And we help them (or they helpus) during the game.

[@gwendalyn444]

Love the epic modulation on the final chorus for that super dark and menacing mood 😈🎶

[@Dausuul]

This video was what nudged me to give Baldur's Gate 3 a try. Sirs and madam, you have cost me several hundred hours of my life. I hope you're happy. :)

[@jdubya181]

Dear Larian studios. Please give Jonathan Young all your money and make him your permanent bard and I will continue to give you my money.

[@enderskunk7515]

kind of reminds me of my first run: I was playing an anchients paladin and trusting would be an understatement... it didn't even aceur to her that blindly trusting the mysterios dream visitor could be problematic... she also failed to see where the problem was when he turned out to be a mind flayer... she did become a mind flayer in the end (yes here she saw that having to eat brains could become an issue, but there would be enough of those while helping to dethrone a lich...)

[@Kraheera]

I absolutely love the play of all three voices together in this beast of a song. It's BEAUTIFUL. And yes. More Bard Jon please.

[@MrDragonRyan13]

Jonathan Young doing a BG3 song!?! What a crossover!

[@777Roxen]

This is not what I expected during my wait for the full release of BG3. It's a very pleasant surprise! It'll be nice to have a song to play on loop while this game takes over my mind for a good while.

[@jonathanymusic]

Let's gooooooo

[@777Roxen]

@@jonathanymusic The song was as excellent as all your other work! Of course, everyone else involved did an incredible job as well! Yeah, this is definitely going to be on loop often.

[@TheFudorin]

Just saw you on Commander at Home and really enjoyed your deck's performance! Glad to see you collabing with other content creators!

[@Rillien5]

I didn't realize how badly I needed this colab until I saw this... Outstanding job as always by everyone involved!

[@Seluecus1]

Why am i just NOW seeing this???? It's so good!

[@edo0girl2.03]

This is so badass! I love that Larian sponsored all these different artists to do songs for them.

[@NikodemCh.]

I ANSWERED !!!!

[@expomike]

DUUUUDE just when I thought I couldn't get more hyped for the release of BG3 then you guys come along to drop this banger?!

[@sebagab9795]

The best part about me buying this game was that I just got early access yesterday without knowing that tomorrow is the full-game premiere.

[@JohnDoe-yb3cc]

This is gold. Need more Bard Jon in my life!

[@JHowOfficial]

I got chills towards the end, it was SO GOOD!

[@WyvernLP]

Now that I've played some Baldur's Gate, this song makes more sense.

[@SherioCheers]

I've got to go home for my youngest brother's wedding this weekend, but when I return on Tuesday, I'll be Baldur's Deep in Baldur's Gate III.

[@wirablesquid0992]

WE'RE HEADING TO BALDUR'S GATE WITH THIS ONE!!!

[@Jandorek]

As a larper, who seeks adventure, battles.... this song touches all my right spots

[@free4fire]

Damn when I saw the thumbnail I thought for a second that we would get a Blind Guardian cover, oh well this is nice too.

[@joelsimkins1248]

The switch at the end was surprising to say the least.

You are definitely one of those bards from the college of sword. you totally slayed.

Rachel convinced me to join the illithids ❤

[@rithrius5384]

Jonathan is a level 21 Bard.

[@williamharris516]

I like that the ceremorphosis foreshadowing runs deeper than just the apparent section at the end, knowing how that path ends

[@merryvixen]

"...the darkness consuming your mind / I'm afraid that you've run out of time" - me at 3 a.m. smashing F8

[@J5586]

NOW WE NEED THE FINAL COUNTDOWN ITS TIME FOR IT

Ill just...yup, right into the bard playlist you go. Save that for later today, when I'm rolling my character.

[@endreverland811]

Jonathan and Colm together is a match made in Elysium. Beautiful song :D

[@MrNightbringr]

Okay, this is the bardic inspiration I needed before launch!

[@HoosierJedi]

My bard would love singing this song.

[@niydfass1060]

I kinda find it fun that some parts of the song could tied into Dark Urge too, especially the end.

I've listened to this song hundreds of time since its release, and I can confidently say there isn't enough of it to be had.

It's giving Hunting Pirates by Turisas energy, I love it!

[@Sanguinis666]

Colm and Rachel!? With Johnathan?! I already know thisll be incredible

[@teapotdome]

i am so pumped.. and so pissed i have to work tomorrow.

[@MrHGravity]

John's voice is filled with so much grit and tar on his "come one come all" that it sweeps you into the moment by the shear energy of it. Like, "...yeah, Fuck Yeah!! LET'S FIGHT A FUCKIN DRAGON!"

[@CeLillyMusic]

What a cool pick of collaborators too! Love those kinds of original bard songs you do. Sounds great!
