ELDEN RING SHADOW OF THE ERDTREE SONG by JT Music - "Bend Thy Knee"

[@lordchungus8997]

Honestly, you can usually tell how high you should set expectations from listening to the intro and about half of the first verse. This song? Certified banger

[@hanzolucille735]

I love these guys because they experiment frequently with new flows and beats, and you can tell they put so much work into these. Also, so true, their bangers start strong, and keep coming

[@lordchungus8997]

​@@hanzolucille735 Couldn't have said it better myself

[@GuessImaGuest]

​@@hanzolucille735Exactly. These raps are always genuine and essentially a love letter to whatever it is about. Not only do these guys think hard about their lyrics, but they also make sure to put in a few references in them too. They might just be some of, if not the best rappers for video games and movies/shows. When JT collaborates with someone else, like Dan Bull, it's just pure bliss.

[@conwaysquest6961]

This is a villain song done right. Miquella spelling out his manifesto, exulting in his ascension, calling his enthralled servants to his side, and dictating the terms of his new order: "You can choose to kneel, or be made to, the end result is the same." But then at the end, you hear the opening bars of "Shed No Grace On Me" heralding the arrival of the one who refuses to be embraced.

[@esgown4184]

Not only that but the hym at the end is more grandiose with the organs. It feels more akin to the heralding The Tarnished Lord. (Also dam that is a song/boss title by itself.) Is it just me who wishes that they do a new version (maybe a live ver) of Shed No Grace, like they've done for Undead Lullaby. It would be a more sombre and slower pace, yet would have the grandiose of the organs/distant choir chant. It represents how we tarnished has mellowed and matured from overcoming the Lands Between. Yet the strings/guitar of shed no grace, being a constant rift, presents our unfaltering conviction that surpasses the very gods. Also, them doing this would be the perfect opportunity to sneak in quibs at the different endings- simps and arsonists.

[@NinjaWormy]

I love it. The tarnished were hated by every creature in the Lands Between. So when one of them receive grace once more, everything falls to it. Showing just how powerful they really were.

[@Nova11435]

@@NinjaWormy the best part is grace wasn't even a buff. It's just a guiding light telling them what to do. their power is their own.

Which makes sense since all of this takes place the same time as the base game making the tarnish break the cycle

​​@@isaacsizeland9649 it talks about keeping his brother enthralled and reaping a gentler world which was miquellas goal but it had a more evil deeper meaning which this song explains very well.. Hope this helped😊

[@ArmorerdArk]

@@isaacsizeland9649 The line "Torrents of love onto thee" makes me believe that it is miquella, so does the line "Tarnished weep, with hearts ungleaming", and "When this omen fell I seized it, so that no one else could read it" could very well be referring to mohg.

[@miklosz4162]

I really like the tone of this song. It reflects well Miquella's character, his kindness and empathy, and the madness and ruthlessness that lie behind them.

[@Aren61104]

I like the way this song portrays Miquella. Someone with a soothing voice and kind words who nonetheless accepts nothing less than total submission. Plus he talks about things that would horrify others so casually like giving up his kindness and melding others souls to his vision. I think when he says he's no longer a saint he only means he's no longer St Trina because he doesn't realise how horrific some of his deeds are. Also love the inclusion of some lines about Malenia. He left even her to pursue his goals but he seems to miss her still in this song. Also loved the final bit of music because Shed No Grace On Me was all about the Tarnished defying the Golden Order and the demigods apparently seeking to purge the influence of everyone of them which we do in the Age of the Stars ending. Once the Tarnished finds out that at the end of the day Miquella is not so different from his mother they realise that he also needs to be defied and brought down.

[@theenderdestruction2362]

No, the age of stars just makes everyone a slave to the stars and ranni influence, and no, this isn't an argument that's litteral what the stars do. They control fate and so in the age of stars will have so many problems cause 1. Absent elden lord, which could fix the DEATH ROOT PROBLEM AND THE ROT PROBLEMS 2. Theres no one to rule and so the outergods now have a feasr and no ranni didn't banish anything she just got rid of a order and made everything worst in the end and now will have to eitger deal with a possible pissed off greater will which will kill her and the tarnished or she comes back and sees the land just dead or rotten or worst

Lyrics: Timeless sleep, where I lie dreaming Shadows steeped in nightmares stir Tarnished weep, with hearts ungleaming Bend thy knee, or my wrath incur Blighted sheep, the light deceives thee Darkness, become thy shepherd I keep my brother, thrall beneath me Call upon an age to break my curse O kindred Of mine, thy wings are wilted Like falling leaves From rotting trees How long we've been afflicted 'Twas my blood I drew to water the roots Of a sapling, that has yet to grow Misshapen and putrid, forsaken this crucible I will remake as my own Of kindness I myself divest That I may shrive this heart of flesh Once gilded with grace But no will that was great did I find Now my gold has a holier shine I'm all out of touch Cut off from the fingers - I won't need 'em much No forcing my hand, cuz I will not budge So I'm forging a plan, the iron is struck In the fires of my mother's vengeance, the void May tangle with light but my might's unalloyed What's in your mind is mine to create For I can design a will that is great My needle entwining tethers of fate Yet severs the gods outside of my grace If you have not felt it Then I shall compel you to see Rise from your Lifeless sleep, with eyes agleaming I shall reap a gentler world Tarnished, leap with faith unyielding Bend thy knee, embrace my curse O sister I've sworn to save our kind I'm splintered (Now twinless) I miss her (So distant) No more a saint am I What's broken, I'll fix with The hope you've been gifted So you'll hold true to my vision Even if this halo's your prison To revile what has horns You deny something more Cuz a blight can be brandished Like any sword When this omen fell - I seized it So that no one else could read it I seethe with love, my weapon - fearsome Keep it sharp, and wield it well Equal are we all to become One for all, thy souls shall meld I severed the line that led to the grave Now look in the light, how blinding your faith We're leaving behind regression - a state That will deny, ascension awaits I pour, from my blood, coursing Torrents of love unto thee Rise from your Lifeless sleep, with eyes gleaming I shall reap a gentler world Tarnished leap with faith unyielding Bend thy knee, embrace my curse (Insert snazzy "Shed No Grace on Me" lick)

[@CashOut670]

bro this is so good. i love it SO much how it is lore accurate, including not making the common mistakes. at 1:26 i know miquella is talking about messmers situation as people *think* that messmer is doing this selfishly but it is actually marika (his mother) telling him to do this as revenge bc of the stuff she saw (mayby was done to her too) as a shaman.

[@CashOut670]

also one of the lyrics being like "when this omen fell, i seized it" means the ppl writing this listend to the mogh's follower saying that the dead body was stolen by miquella/his crew which is real attention to detail. some people say that rahdan is somehow in the body of mogh but idk.

[@Kal-213]

@@CashOut670 Spoilers... Miquella charmed Mohg and forced him to bring him back to his palace. He abandoned his flesh and went to the land of shadows. When we killed Mogh, he had his followers steal his body, and then he placed the soul of Radahn (which evidence points to also being unwilling) into Mohg's body as his "promised consort." When we fight Radahn again, you can see that he has omen horns on parts of his body, and he occasionally uses some of Mohg's bloodflame. It is theorized that he sent his sister to weaken Radahn or kill him for him to be able to take his soul.

[@ItachiUchiha_1724]

Marika's Only Order to messmer was to destroy all those without Grace Messmer could not understand or Believe we a tarnished who was spurned by the grace of gold given back Grace and tasked to become elden lord Messmer Realized marika had Left him there to fight indefinitely As he had no grace But marika could not kill her children (As we saw with morgott and mogh)

What I really didn't expect was to learn Marika was a human before, attaining grace and semi godhood through the teachings of Metyr and the fingers before Metyr somehow broke and stopped receiving the radio signals from the greater will. While it's true Marika is a monster, I think she's a tragic villain in her own way as a blind devotee of the greater will going more and more crazy into building the golden order while not hearing anymore from her god. A zealot listening to silence, doing more and more monstrous things in the hope of hearing the greater will words once more.

[@scalesthecobra9685]

This song really shows the portrayal that Miquella doesn’t realize his crimes. He thinks not of the consequences, just of the end goal. Also I believe the song references the Tarnished, not Radahn with the words “Rise from your lifeless sleep, with eyes agleaming.” Referencing the Grace of gold that once guided the tarnished, now guided by the light of Miquella.

[@severalcakes3267]

Even that last part has direct lore precedence: Miquella earned Leda’s loyalty by personally restoring her Grace.

[@blizzardgaming7070]

In all the cimes of Miquella, controlling Mogh, binding Radahn, abandoning Malenia and Trina, I am reminded of a line from a long while ago. "No matter how pretty, how exquisite, a lie will remain A LIE." The 'Kind' promises a world free of hate, lead by compassion yet has abandoned everything to do with it. His sister left to rot, of his brothers two were controlled and the attempt to save the other was abandoned, his other half left at the bottom of the fissure with only putrefied remains for comfort. My lord of Frenzy needed very little convincing. "I abandon here my Love" was when the Kind became a target.

When he separated St. Trina, it was the point of no return for him.

They are 2 different beings Miquella the Kindly Is not Miquella of unalloyed gold Miquella the fundimentalist Or even miquella of the haligtree Miquella the kind abandoned his Love Aka his fate aka St trina He was going to simply force all those who could be controlled and erase those that would not like us And mogh And Malenia Basically people who represent or Are A Different Order Miquella the kind through Away st trina to the bottom of the fissure Becuase he made sure she could rise up and Stop him All the other things of him are Above world

[@GhoulishBrush]

Love this song cause it seems like a twisted enchantment, as if it never stays the same. Also, love the strings at the credits part reminiscent of the JT’s other Elden ring song “shed no grace on me”.

[@leowalker6396]

This is such a great song, I have been itching for another Elden Ring song for so long. I'm glad Miquella had charmed you into making another song!

[@DummyProvided]

Bro this is amazing. I listen to this in the dark with my eyes either close or watching the video. This just hits all the marks for a list I didn't know I had. Keep this up mate, I need more goosebumps.

[@MarkosDantes]

YOOOOOOOO THIS SLAPPS I genuinely thought it was gonna be a Messmer song from the first few lines, and then it hit that it's for Miquella and i was like "*OH-*" it felt really cool (even if i am now a bit sad it Isn't a Messmer song HGFVG) i absolutely love the way this was done though, the vocal work is amazing (god that range of style!! always dope as fuck to see that get flexed) and the fact the instrumental has this almost warped lullaby vibe??? oh my god??? it's so fucking cool that's so clever and i love how that bit that's like "i'm splintered (now twinless)/i miss her (so distant)/*no more a saint am i*" can refer to either Malenia *or* St. Trina that's so well done, just like how "rise from your lifeless sleep/with eyes agleaming" feels like it can refer to Radahn OR the Tarnished, Or!! how "cut off from the fingers/i won't need 'em much" earlier can go for both the two/three fingers themselves And the fact Miq is literally leaving pieces of himself strewn around and then the littler stuff in the lyrics!!!! like "torrents of love" nudging at Torrent's connection to Miquella, the lines referencing wordings and such from the trailers, "when this omen fell/i seized it" easily referring to Mohg, but then being re-contextualized into the prophecy meaning of "omen" with the next line!! seriously y'all were doing great shit with the lyrics holy shit

[@RoseNightwalker]

Bloody Hell, JT Music really has come a long way. The fact that it sounds like they are singing the rap instead of rapping it like the modern raps you hear nowadays is amazing. Their voices have gotten better as well as they sound more powerful. Keep up the good work boys!

[@chaosxenkon]

It amuses me that despite not generally knowing much about these souls games, they put a lot of real good lore into the songs they make about them. This one is especially nice to my lore loving self

[@brodycartwright1611]

You can tell what games they really feel passionate about and love making songs for. I love all of the dark souls and bioshock songs because they have so much passion put into them.

[@FlfyCats17]

The EXACT second this shows up on spotify, this fire is going on my halloween playlist. I've hardly touched Elden Ring and haven't played the DLC yet, so I was not expecting something this VIBEY from a Fromsoft song. But I love it!!!! Holy heck. I don't know how you guys keep making banger after banger after all these years, but keep up the legendary work!

[@Blaster746]

I like the throwback to "Shed no Grace on me" at the end... A real banger that I won't stop recommending ! ^^

[@TheWarmachine375]

When Messmer goes for a walk, he asked the people of the Land of Shadow how's their health plan. Apparently it was great.

I see a lot of people are at a loss of words to describe this song, but It think what they mean to say is that it is truly majestic

This is so good! I don't think I've heard Skull sing so well like.. EVER! And the difference flow and cadence changes where amazing

[@Nero_of_the_Night]

The last bits of "Shed no grace on me" at the very end gave me shivers

[@KyleighTsioma-y4q]

I wish I could listen to this song for the first time again. It's very rare that such a good lyricist combines his work with the music so perfectly that it gives me INSTANT chills. Wow. This is so original and beyond impressive. I've always seen your work as my favorite, but this one is above and beyond. It's also hard to make constant style changes flow well within one song, and you've executed that absolutely flawlessly. I hope you always continue to make work like this.

[@BaDNeWsPaNdA1]

I have probably listened to this more than 100 times by now, and its only been 8 days!! Sooooo good. The tone, and the silent whisper of lyrics into full blown Ol English rhymes

[@jasmineteasgoodd]

"Timeless sleep where I lie dreamingShadows steeped in nightmares stir Tarnished weep with hearts ungleaming Bend thy knee or my wrath incur Blighted sheep, the light deceives theeDarkness become thy shepherd I'll keep my brother thrall beneath me Call upon an age to break my curse Oh, kindred of mine, thy wings are wilted Like falling leaves from rotting trees How long we've been afflicted?" was already insane

[@zkil088]

Gotta love the fact that JT Music actually looks into lore and makes it into a banger

[@lunaspride5885]

Love the hint of shed no grace on me at the end , almost as if the tarnished is rolling up like that's cute but make way for god

[@KaiEManaTouch]

SO GOOD omg I needed this! You guys are amazing!

The best Elden Ring of the 3 you made JT. The refrain so epic, i want it to be on an unending loop

[@crossgear3042]

Without a doubt this has become my new fav song from you all, i absolutely love your elden ring songs and this one really blows it out of the water.

[@Vulpur]

I’ve been listening for 14 years now ( since the very beginning of the channel ) now I am 18 and damn you guys are still awesome imo and changed so much hope you guys keep up the amazing work and content And even though you changed it I still call you JT Machinima lol and still jamming to your older songs

[@Morigenos0]

This has to be one of my favorite songs from you guys, ever. It's just amazing

[@TheSolarzEclipse]

1:25. Why does that give me shivers everytime?

[@Absolute-eclipse]

Its just that good bro

[@matthewwhittall1205]

Such a sinister tune for one who would appear so innocent. I love that everything about this song, from the name to the thumbnail, would make one think of Messmer- Until they actually play the game. Then they KNOW whose song this is.

[@issy5024]

Within like 5 seconds of the song already got me obsessed!! I absolutely LOVE this song! Your voice is so beautiful!

[@landmine7748]

I love the way miquella says: 'i shall reap a gentler world.' It sounds so intimidating.

[@CGAA07017]

If there is one good thing I'm thankful for this DLC, it's the coming of this song. I cannot express how perfect it is. I'm not expert, so please don't mind my description, but the way it feels to me it's like a nursery rhyme, akin to Miquella's infant curse, but the melody it's unsettling, almost creepy. "Pure and radiant, he wields love to shrive clean the hearts of men. There is nothing more terrifying." This song is the embodiment of this sentence. Miquella is indeed kind, but a monster all the same. This song matches the greatness of his character. Thank you, JT Music. Thank you very much for this song. It's even more amazing when you have given us "Shed No Grace on Me", which perfectly fits as a response from our Tarnished. Ah, man, I love this.

[@Feuryy]

I've had this on repeat since it came out, it's just SO good! You guys did so well capturing that Elden Ring feel into the music. Definetly become one of my all time favourites this year!

[@NUkropina]

I cannot play souls likes... yet I love when JT Music writes a song so good I want to play the game. This and once upon a lie hit me hard. Great job.

[@Lobo2400]

I love the sound of the chorus. which part of it "embrace my curse!" Is applicable to both messmer and miquella, as both are cursed. Neat touch! Edit: grammar lol

[@vallyed8174]

babe wake up jt music just dropped another banger
