Jyc Row, Francis Vace & WoodLore - Warriors of Griffinstone

EDIT: OMG! Thank you so much guys for voting to our songs for the Top10 Pony Songs of October, we're 1st! Ex Aequo with Celestial Berserkers! That's beyond amazing! • The Top Ten Pony Songs...
Hello everyone!
This is certainly one of the songs I'm the most proud of, with Celestial Berserkers. Working with Francis Vace & WoodLore was very fun and very cool, they both did an incredible job with the guitars and their voice. Love you guys!
When I started this track, I was listening to a lot of Alestorm and Sabaton songs and I wanted to make something pirate-ish / celtic-ish with my style on it. And here comes what I'd call some "celtic rock". Vace provided us the global lyrics and the electric guitars and WoodLore gave us the acoustic guitars and this amazing, beautiful and epic break. And the three of us sing. Yep, even me (I'm not very good at singing, plus this is like the first or second I really sing for a song, but I did my best for sure!).
Again, thanks a lot to Francis Vace and to WoodLore for collaborating with me on that track, I will keep good memories!
I don't know what to say more so, as always, here's some links, some informations about the track and the lyrics just below:

Young Griffin I see you’re scared,
Overwrought and ill prepared,
But young Griffin hear me now,
You can’t go back on your vow.
F:
Marching forward for the king,
Not stopping for anything,
Waves of foes, we’ll mow them down,
Marching forward for the crown.
W:
We’re the Warriors of Griffinstone,
Protectors of the griffin throne,
We’ve pledged our lives to the king,
You will fall when we take wing.

Young Griffin hear me well,
I know you think you’ve been through hell,
But young one hear me once more,
You must remember what you’re fighting for.
F:
The dust of sunsets,
Blown in by the north wind
W&F:
All hail Grover.
Our just and righteous king!
W:
I can see you fate has led you here
I see your fire, but smell your fears
Listen close when I say
We will always have our prey
It's not your day
You will fall when we take wing
We’re the Warriors of Griffinstone,
Protectors of the griffin throne,
We’ve pledged our lives to the king,
You will fall when we take wing.
All:
We’re the Warriors of Griffinstone,
Protectors of the griffin throne,
We’ve pledged our lives to the king,
You will fall when we take wing.

[@Nodrasta]

You just created a new headcanon in me which is full of griffin vikings. Your voice is just perfect for a viking style griffin.

[@JycRow]

YAAAARR! ... I mean, thanks! :D

[@ponyempiresunite9702]

Aren't they already raiders? They did annex half of Equestria at one point before returning their new land (I think) and then became trade partners and allies.

[@LWolf12]

@@ponyempiresunite9702 I think so, but I don't really remember the lore fully. The Complete MLP Timeline might mention it though.

[@celefin6494]

Epicness. >waves the claw marked banner of Griffinstone

[@MissAtSHy]

... Holy heck. This blew me away. From your pirate voice to Vace's soft singing to Woodlore's incredible pair of lungs, this was so fantastic! I love celtic music. Thank you so much for doing such a fantastic job ♥

[@JycRow]

Thank you very much for those kind words! :D

When I thought brony fandom was kinda weak in music last years, you've given me such hope, this is truly one of the best song I've heard in years, I LOOOOVE it ! =D Please the three of you, do more !

[@JycRow]

Merci beaucoup, bien content que ça plaise. ^^

[@Knight_Of_The_Blood_Moon]

Jyc, i cannot find words worthy of saying how glorious this song is... The level of epic is so high, i have experienced a loop function repeating the words epic, glorious, amazing, awesome, great and cool in different variations and forms with either just one of the words or all the words or any amount inbetween... Just so glorious that i'm utterly speechless....

[@JycRow]

Well, I'm happy you like this song that much! Brace yourself though, the second P@D track is as good as this one... :3

[@Knight_Of_The_Blood_Moon]

............... now i can't stop thinking about the levels of epic yet to reveal their complete glory.... do you sing also in the next one? you have a fantastic voice. fits perfectly to this style. i can't wait for more! 😄

[@JycRow]

Thank you very much! And yes, I also sing in the next one (Celestial Berserkers). The next song will be epic... and the special artwork that goes with it will be even more amazing! :D (Sorry, I love to tease ahah)

[@yeoldecreatureviolence4229]

Yeah, this song will kick ass forever. One of my faves from the album, and might I add that your voice is beyond amazing! Amazing work

[@JycRow]

Thank you very much! :3

[@elly7498]

I've never heard WoodLore sing so intensely o.o I like it!

[@darksentinel1191]

And this is the new song I'll be obsessing over for a month or two

[@Tanyavonlivius]

Same

[@morben5104]

Some of my favourit musicians united together in one single song. I had high expectations, when I read that title and you all still managed to surpass them. You created one god damn epic piece of art! Thank you for your hard work and please keep on creating awesome music! Thank you so much for this song! xD

[@JycRow]

Thank you very much, it means a lot! The three of us did our best and we're happy that people like it! :D

Офигеть, видео 6ти летней давности, а я все ещё ее слушаю и помню когда она была опубликована:3

[@itsthebrainworker3029]

The photo is epic and the music cool I rate it 10 for 10 good job jyc all your music good 👍👍keep going

[@MegaKilldeath]

Ah this type of stuff always makes me think of heroic selfless soldiers marching into battle ...... and it makes my tear up *sniffle*

[@incitossol]

Ever time I listen to this I get a image of a army of griffons vs a army of changelings. This is bloody awesome you warriors of griffonstone.

[@CobiahMarrinerCove]

Absolutely regret leaving the fandom (recently returned) if this is what I was missing. Your voices meld together so damn well, it gives me the chills.

[@ExplodingPonyToast]

Such an awesome collaboration of skills :O

[@Boopers]

I didn't expect this! It's awesome! Best song of the whole album.

[@JycRow]

Thanks! We're happy to hear that! :)

[@InsomniacMatt]

I love the guitar in this song. Sounds so good.

[@SpiralKipz]

Such a good song! I love this song's energy and ability to just get you pumped! Keep it up.

[@SergalDragon]

This song... It kinda gives me this feeling of saturday morning cartoon intros XD 'Warriors of Griffonstone, Protectors of the Griffon Throne' XD

[@_adagio_2603]

Amazing work! looking forward to see more lyrical music from you. Good luck in your next project.

[@JycRow]

Thanks! You won't have to wait so long to have another song with me singing. Less than a week, I'd say! :D

[@AWalYT]

At first I was wondering what was going on with the lyrics, then they all got together and it just worked so well. You guys have really outdone yourselves this time.

[@JycRow]

+AWal Thank you very much ! :D

[@squeakybelle3711]

How can you say you're not that good at singing? :O Your parts made it sound pretty awesome IMO! :)

[@JycRow]

Thank you very much! Well, to be honest, this is my first time singing and it feels so weird to me to hear me somewhere. x)

[@squeakybelle3711]

Ah yeah that feeling of listening to your own voice huh? XD Well I hope you use it every now and then. It's epic as!

[@JycRow]

I indeed have some project in mind where I sing. Stay tuned! :D

[@squeakybelle3711]

Okay will do ^.^

[@RedneckClyde]

i do have a suggetion.... try not to have such a heavy growl.... just as lil bit lighter is all really

[@user-Delta117]

I will play this song for every boss battle, thanks for making a kickass song ;)

[@GZBro]

EPIC is not even the right word to describe this!!!

[@JycRow]

+Günz Brony Hehe thanks :p

[@blitzingninja5371]

Wow all of you were great but wood lore was incredible with how high he went

[@Andrea_Selena]

A perfect song for Griffins, i like the slight dark vibe. And your voices are such increnible! I definitly add that to my personal tracklist and post it on my Animo.

[@JycRow]

+Andreas S. (John Hunter) Thank you !

[@ReAnnieMator]

One of the best songs in the album. Good job!

[@SaigneurGuerrier]

C'est majestueux

[@kethtemplar8989]

I imagine this would be a a song sung proudly by aerial patrols as they ride the raggid raging winds around the griffon kingdoms borders

[@PeKaNo]

Aha génial dude :D J'adore le refrain, vraiment super track, sinon la voix de Woodlore dans les aiguës me fait beaucoup penser à celle de Cyril The Wolf, c'est marrant :3

[@JycRow]

Merci bien :D Wood nous a dis que c'est le plus aigu qu'il n'ait jamais chanté. ^^

[@thelighttiger6725]

All this collab needs is Prince Whateverer, then this will be the Dream Team

[@JycRow]

+TheLightTiger Well, I do hope collabing with him one day!

[@thesquishedelf1301]

*Jaw drop* I never expected you to collab with WoodLore!!! Much as Vace ain't my cup of tea, you and WoodLore absolutely kill it in this. Well bloody done.

[@JycRow]

Aww, but Vace's very good though. :( Opinion, I guess. Anyway, thank you! And yes, as a big fan of WoodLore I'm very happy he accepted to collab with Francis and me. :3

[@Braskasse]

Ma préférée avec Berserker of Celestia :D Et Revenge of Chrysalis aussi ^^

[@NeverLaststanding]

mmm that'd be neat!

j'aime beaucoup la musique, même si je n'aime pas le style de musique, tu a réussi a me la faire aimé, franchement bravo pour ton exploit, continue comme sa ^^ (et tu ne peux vraiment pas te passer de la cornemuse toi ^^)

[@JycRow]

Merci bien! Et oui, il est vrai que j'utilise beaucoup (trop) la cornemuse. x) M'enfin, après tout, il s'agit là d'un de mes instruments "signature" donc voilà. ^^'

[@EmillyDoom]

Weeeenaaaa buenísima aaaa!!

[@PoketMon1008]

Griffon are half eagle and lion. Which makes them actually more interesting than just earth ponies or unicorns, Alicorns.

[@matmax426]

I don't like the song yet I am getting more chills than I have ever felt. Make up your mind, body!

[@AnimatronicPony]

Amazing song!

[@JycRow]

Thanks :3

[@dustdragonify]

Kinda wanna do a story about domething like this

[@SaigneurGuerrier]

entendre woodlore chanter cela, c'est tellement énorme ! c'est si différent de ce qu'il chante d'habitude, c'est super.

[@JycRow]

Entendre WoodLore chanter de base, c'est génial '*-*'

[@SaigneurGuerrier]

Jyc Row pas faux x)

[@JycRow]

D'ailleurs, prépare-toi ; j'ai cru comprendre qu'il y avait des chances que les deux compos de P@D allaient être disponible sur MLK. :3

[@blackorcshagrat8587]

If Griffons are Vikings, what role did you give to the Yaks, Jyc?

[@LWolf12]

Just noticed the new thumb nails. They look pretty good.

[@JycRow]

Thanks! I should have the 2018-20 thumbnails finished today evening ^^

[@ManeFunction]

Amazing!

[@Cylindryk]

I have one question: what do you mean by "we take wing"? I'm not native English speaker, and I think I lost something in translation, but closer translation I can think is "when we start flying and attack". Is that correct? Otherwise, one of my most favourite songs. Like almost all of your songs, Jyc. :)

[@brume8637]

Yaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssss

[@PinkieFloyddd]

Nice Song! Very Similar Sabaton, Korpiklaani and Equilibrium. * * * Ponyton Coltiklaani Equestribrium lol

[@quiznak1010]

I think woodlore had the best voice for this song.

[@Arcerouge_24]

ohhh, I love it so much, but...bassed on Sabaton and Alestorm, I think there is much of Freedom Call, but it doesn't matter, great song. sorry for my english, but I'm spanish.

[@JycRow]

+Arcerouge_24 -- Gamer Brony on Cod The instrumental is inspired by them, not the lyrics ^^

[@Arcerouge_24]

It's true, sorry

Nah dont worry, thank you very much for your support ! ^^

[@user-or2ko4wu6x]

Если этот коммент увидят русскоговорящие, оцените перевод. Я вижу, напуганы, Вы устали и больны, Но меня послушайте, От присяги не уйти. Вперёд, ради монарха, Идём мы без страха, Сокрушим мы бастионы И вперёд, ради короны. Припев Мы Воины Грифонии, Защитники Империи, За короля жизнь отдадим, И ты падёшь, когда мы взлетим! Вновь послушай меня, млад, Думайте, прошли сквозь ад? Но ко мне прислушайтесь, Запомните, за что боретесь. Пыль закатов Северный нёс ветер. Славься Гровер! Наш законный король! Вижу, привела тебя судьба, Я вижу пыл, но рука слаба, Прислушайся ко мне, Мы всегда на коне И в этом дне Они падут, когда мы взлетим! Припев. Мы Воины Грифонии, Защитники Империи, За короля жизнь отдадим, И ты падёшь, когда мы взлетим! (I'm just trying to translate this song on russian)

Pretty sure that should be "Griffonstone" unless these are copyright issues you're trying to avoid.

[@JycRow]

+Peteman12 We didn't really think about the copyright. To be honest, I think the two writings are equally correct.

Is that your actual voice or do you just use a program for that?

[@JycRow]

That's my voice ^^ I don't know at all how to alter a voice anyway x) Though, been a while since I've practiced this kind of growling voice so I can't really do it again (without practice)
