Merrigan - Queen of Rats (Dark folk music)

[@alexdoorn234]

Huh the lyrics remind me of that one quest of the Witcher. With the plague maiden. It's good to hear your music again Ireally love your voice.

[@Merriganmusic]

Yes!! Thank you for noticing, this song is based on that quest! :D It really stuck with me when I played it..

[@sharmsong]

I thought the same thing! It's perfect!

[@Merriganmusic]

Sharm !! I love you, thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@inesaldazabalruiz2793]

god, I've missed you and your music... Very beautiful as always. Heartwarming

[@piousminion7822]

Don't be so hard on yourself about looks in the video. You are still beyond gorgeous.

[@ScaryManiac]

Let me just get this out of the way: you have my favourite voice of all the female singers of all time. It can have power, but it's when you pull the sweet mode that you shine. Adding to that, the most special parts are the ones when you do 2 or more voices at the same time. What’s so special about that? Contrary to a lot of other singers, you manage to also do it in some unexpected places (like 1:28) turning it into a nice surprise. How long did it take to come up with the lyrics? Love them. They’re very dark and mysterious, contrasting with the soft melody, almost like a lullaby. A lullaby for a very dark character (special mention to when you start the “drum” at 1:13). “I’m now the queen of rats” followed by “la la la la” tells me that she’s happy with her new destiny! That’s also when she starts to move a little (1:50) and smile (1:56), adding to that feeling. By the end she accepts her new life and goes do her new persona. We can see her transformation. This might be one of your richest songs. A truly great earworm. Your songs always tell os such captivating stories.

That Rat is adorable ^^

[@Xiribabu2]

Hauntingly beautiful melody. The church vibes did a great match to the song. Nice work as always!

[@joelnavarrovercher7906]

i love the rats, i love this song, I love your voice and i love you ♥️♥️♥️🐁🐁🐁

A lovely thing to come upon as I struggle to fall asleep, a combination of the summer heat and a chronic stream of headaches over the past two or three weeks. I missed your voice.

You don't look gross or awkward and your voice is beautiful ♥️

[@LanaFeyah]

Ahhhh I'm so glad I read the other comments because i was about to be the umpteenth person to remark how this reminds me of the Witcher's A Towerful of Mice, haha. It's haunting in the most amazing way possible! You've also chosen a spectacular location to film at, as well as a very adorable support cast. ;)

[@sanscudo1716]

I found your channel just last week because I was curious about who sang as Mithril from 3DNPC and Auri. Happy to find out you're still uploading.

[@Niborino9409]

The lyrics are haunting, while the melody is very comforting at the same time. That ought to be an impossible combo, but you pulled it off no problem! :D

[@SolasComposer]

This has so much expression to it, love the depth and the harmony brought out in your voice as well, the melodies, and your voice as well.... just amazing. The story in the words is as one of a beautiful fantasy tale, one like many have known, through so much time. Your vocal harmonies and the layering with the hymn is amazing, the harp brings the beautiful Celtic folky music touch, the cello brings a moving emotion to match that of your voice too. Mesmerising music Merrigan.

[@ivanrechefernandez1187]

Oh my, just checking an old song and realize that you are back. I'm glad you came back, beautiful song

[@DanielSvensson666]

This was amazing, I loved it. Also, such a cute rat.

[@suarioslemovice2896]

Extremely soothing to the mind in these troubled times ... Thank you. Glory to the four-legged rats, the Muridae! Woes to the two-legged oligarchs rats who wish to rule our lives! Too bad you don't have a lot of views, yet you have a lot of talent. But it's no wonder, we live in an age where mediocrity sent talent and quality into the abyss. Greetings from a Lemovice of Gaul.

I'm happy to support you. I've long loved Celtic music and folk music, and the harp is my favorite instrument. I love Loreena McKennitt, Moya Brennan, Andrew Lawrence-King, and quite a few folk/classical harpists. You remind me so much of them. You are great and I hope you keep up the good work :)

[@tomduke1297]

nice to see and hear you again! since you bring it up in the description: you look a lot like my cousin before she found out that carbs and esepcialy grains dont agree with her. no idea if that pertains to you, but might be worth a try. feeling comfortable in your own body is pretty much the most important thing in life, everything else is secondary.

[@Merriganmusic]

Yeah, carbs aren' t exactly weight-loss friendly.. ^^; Unfortunately I'm allergic to almost all of the important ingredients in keto. (Nuts, avocado, vegetables) so a low-carb diet doesn't work for me at all...

[@tomduke1297]

@@Merriganmusic thats a lot of vitamin and mineral rich food that you cant consume.... well, you can get that stuff from organ meats, you can try having some of those every other day instead of whatever it is that damages your body like that. im not a doctor and i dont know you, but i waited into my mid 30s before i took the time to get my nutrition in order and i can tell you that it was to late. there are parts of my body that are damaged permanently.
