Karliene - Smaug's Song

[@Giles29]

""I kill where I wish and none dare resist. I laid low the warriors of old and their like is not in the world today. Then I was but young and tender. Now I am old and strong, strong strong... My armor is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail is a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!" - Smaug

[@DoctorWortspieler]

On the one hand, this song is surely magnificent enough to win Smaug's approval. On the other hand, Smaug doesn't exactly have the best track record with bards...

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

There really are no dragons that come close to the dragons of Arda. They aren't just large or powerful, it isn't that they breathe fire. They are arrogant, they are intelligent, they speak in curses, they breathe magic, they are magic. They are an arrogant and infernal form of divinity, and they know they are the pinnacle of all living things after the song ended in the ancient days.

[@cryoblaster8371]

Queen under the mountain. A heart of melted gold. Her flesh silk and steel. Her arms, her wings, a thousands storms. Her eyes that of death. Her word that of stone. Her breath of mayhem. Her teeth, spears of pain. Her tounge silver of the heaviest flail. Her claws swords flame. Woe be he that dare steal from the Queen, woe be she who dare speak ill of the Queen. Dare not say her name, for to do so even thousands of roads beyond. She will hear and she will come. Her breath and iron teeth wreak havoc on ye. Fear her. fear the Queen under the mountain KARLIENE.

This song really captured the grandness of Smaug from the book. If this had been in the movie, I probably would have liked it a lot more.

[@Samaru163]

***** No no, thank you for performing it. ;)

[@Amadeus8484]

Smaug: "Do you think a tribute song will keep you alive?"

[@JessicaDinsdale]

Yes, I think so.

[@ZVChimney]

Wow. It's just astounding how you can sing so soft and gentle one moment and pull off being villainous the next with equal grace and ease. The lighting really set you on fire (no pun intended). I believed you were Smaug in this song. You also reminded me of Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty with that devilish look in your eyes and your commanding presence. Bravo!!!

[@limshiqi4584]

Nice 👍

[@dontcallmewave]

Amazing, it is easy to believe that it is the actual Smaug, somehow transformed into human form, singing this

[@ГерманМак-д4ы]

"Little thief in my domain". Oh man,that was epic!

[@EternalPhoenix33]

Every time I listen to this song, I feel such fiery yet liberating resonation within me. Just soaring with a set of my own wings, flames engulfing me like a very warm flutter, and an indescribable passion for adventure. This song is exoticly addictive

You know, maybe it's just the red coloring or whatnot - but the whole arrogant attitude of Smaug, your voice... this whole piece makes me think of Odahviing from Skyrim. *dork*

[@averongodoffire8098]

NERRRRRRRRRRRRRD(but ya I totally agree😂)

[@mythicaldragon3844]

Outstanding. I know Smaug is the bad guy (dragon) but this song flips that perspective for me, it makes hime slightly more likeable. It gives the listener a sense that they can do anything, makes them feel mighty and powerful. But hey, that is just my opinion of course.

[@shoulderpyro]

Mythical Dragon Smaug never was evil like Sauron or the orcs, so.. from that point of view he wasn't a bad guy. Even going as far to talk with Bilbo instead of just burning him on sight. He just followed his Dragon instincts to lay claim to a treasure hoard, and the dwarves were simply in his way. ^-^

[@briandavion]

@@shoulderpyro ok first of all Smaug was never a figure of myth, he appered in a story written in the 1930s. secondly being greedy eneugh to murder an entire city for gold ABSOLUTELY IS evil.

[@shoulderpyro]

@@briandavion I never said anything about him being mythical. "Mythical Dragon" is the username of the lad/lass I replied too. Nice job reading there... And again. "Dragons covet gold, with a dark and fierce desire". Putting in extremely bluntly, it was just a 'coincidence' there was a Dwarven city on top of all that gold. Smaug never cared about the city itself, and just wanted the gold. Can't really blame a creature for staying true to its nature. Also, thank you for reviving a year old thread. gg.

[@thelonewolf6425]

Doop What makes Smaug evil is the fact he is not aware of his destructive greed. It’s like saying a murder was committed by me because I felt like doing it.

[@Fantallana]

@@shoulderpyro I’m gonna be the next person to revive a year old thread: Tolkien wrote that the dragons were created by Morgoth just like the orcs. He and Sauron are both servants of Morgoth in a way.

[@The_Entropist]

She's like an wondering elf artist, traveling between Immortals and mortals lands, singing the legend of Smaug until elves would be no more. Love it ! 🤩

[@JordiFrancis]

Amazing. I love how this has a Chinese influence fitting for the Chinese NY too! The instrumental almost sounds like it could be from the Red Cliff movie. This is probably my favourite video of yours. So, so spectacular!!

[@SlayClay117]

A beautiful tribute to a Fire-Wyrm who wrested control over The Lonely Mountain from the stalwart Dwarves. I am continually impressed and in awe of your work, Lady Karliene.

[@blazednlovinit]

Great song, the dragon's love for speaking in riddles and metaphor lends itself well to song writing :) Subbed ^^

[@Kalepherion]

Just when I think you couldn't stun me any further, you shatter that notion. This is an astounding display of talents. Composition is a mystical alchemy, and you do it so well. You capture the menace and beauty of Smaug perfectly. Then the lyrics and singing come in, to flawlessly enhance the composition. World class, simply world class.

[@Kalepherion]

That you take time to reply to such posts speaks volumes about your giving nature. Thank you for such gifts, they are very precious.

[@GobbyShoon]

there aren't words to express how amazing your work is. I love listening to all your songs, in fact I should probably have a restraining order against the re play button by now. I love listening to your music, especially because it's a style that you don't see in a lot of modern music and I really like that. you aren't afraid of using your own style to express yourself, and I admire you for that since there aren't many people that do that. you are an amazingly talented individual and you are definitely my favourite singer at the moment. make more music.

I've always felt that Smaug deserved better, even before reading this. The dwarves were from what I understand (along with the humans) very ruthless when it came to butchering his kind.

Holy smokes! When I was out in Afghanistan for the last month, I listened to your version of "We will go home" every day and it won a special place in my heart. I just put Smaug's song on like 5 times before I realised I'd just spent nearly half an hour dancing around my lounge pretending to be a dragon. Awesome xx

[@WweHistoryMaker]

[@KingSmaugFiredragon]

This is the best video I have ever seen. Great job Karliene, you represented Smaug perfectly.

[@Exodianecross1978]

I know, what I'm going to describe now is "another universe", but when I hear this song I have a picture in my head, it shows A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE (GAME OF THRONES if you want)-character Aegon I. Targaryen riding on Balerion the Black Dread during the "War of Conquest", burning down everything who stands against him! I hope, there will be a series that will show this, and that you my dear Karliene, will sing another song about this! All the best for you!
