Whenever I hear this song it brings me back to the happiest parts of my childhood, dreaming of magic and flight, heroes and strength. This song fills me with excitment and joy unlike I have felt in a long time. It reminds me of the promise I made all those years ago to do what I can to help others no matter what. Thank you, good sir. Thank you for giving your talents and inspiring us to soar to ever greater heights.

Ok, but doing some songs from Pirates of the Caribbean in this format would be great, I think. Another idea is to do more songs from How To Train Your Dragon, specifically This Is Berk, which I think would be great in this format.

Beginning: "Gather 'round young ones, for I've got a story for you, of one such viking who's _brave_ enough to change his fate..." 1:20 As the story goes on, more and more of the tavern dwellers started to gather and gaze upon the old man, as he told the tale of said viking, who learned that the dragons need not be feared upon, like us, they show compassion, bravery, intelligence, kinship. 1:44 As the night goes on, the old story teller, without his knowledge, had the whole tavern's occupants men, women, and children alike, their attention fixed on his story. Among them was a traveling bard whom as the story goes on, accompanies it with his melodious tunes. Slowly, the perspective drew back, showing the many tavern dwellers, and still it goes further back, out through the window pulling the viewers up to the star filled midnight sky, which briefly showed a figure flying in the night as their shadow was slightly visible.
