[@yulfine1688]

much of the world gives up freedoms constantly for the ease of letting someone else or a group to do it all for them. Even the great America has more than fallen to this laziness and destructive thoughts, giving up freedoms for temporary safety they believe will last forever in a perfect utopia while the great countries of the world bear the burden for everyone else to even allow such ideologies to exist. Their comfort comes from the blood and sacrifice of other countries especially America despite all of its faults keeps the world going and safer than people will probably ever realize. Currently America, Russia and even china and korea among more all keeps this world going no matter how much you hate south korea or America or Russia or china or the European union and whatever else. They are what currently allows what we currently have to continue in a long peace across most of the world except where help does not come or the help that exists came from misunderstandings from fear of the people that turned into a profitable business for oil and now has skewered what really happened that has become lost to time and lies. We walk a slim ever thinning and delicate thread and soon that thread will snap and the world will erupt into chaos though probably not how any of us actually ever imagine.

[@maxhernandez4887]

@Oliver Huntsman it's a circlet type of crown. Basically it is a fair bit simpler than most crowns. More of a practical everyday crown that shows status rather than being the ceremonial crown. As such it is significantly smaller, lighter and less showy

This song is a song singing from a perspective of a queen that has the interests and well-being of her citizens as her highest priority, but the same thing cannot be said about a ruler who doesn't do that. If you have your citizens' well-being and interests as your highest priority you would be in the same situation as the queen in this song.

It expresses what ideal rulers would feel. I have no doubt just as many would sacrifice their entire country to retain their crowns at the cost of their peoples' lives.

[@Syn-007]

Well... It doesn't always happen. I gave up on having lead, exactly because I lost my pure vision at a time. Almost sent people in their death. So you need to have a clear mind, a pure soul and an unbreakable heart to bear the crown. It is always tainted in blood, and it suffocates you with the weight of the blood that flows through the will of those whose blood is on it. Trust me, leading is power, power is responsability, responsability is pressure, pressure is stress, and overwhelming stress makes people go insane. So before you get the crown, be sure you are able to wear it. (Actually what I mean is that there should be no queen or king in an ideal case... So none would go insane from the power and responsabilities of a leader position... Which is highly unlikely to happen.) P.S.: I am proud that I was able to put that crown down, when I realized that I am going blind under its pressure.

The original song sounds like an old queen thinking about the times she was free but this version sounds like a young queen regretting the decision to become queen just days ago. To be Queen is to be a rare bird in a jewel encrusted cage but to be a villager is to be a common bird free to go wherever whenever. Being Queen, you need to make hard choices like sending soldiers to the battlefield "to danger and to die" Being Queen is harder than what people expect, they expect the Queen to sit and order servants around but what they don't know is that they have the freedom that the Queen doesn't have. 'You never know how important something is until you lose it'

I belive history would disagree

[@onebraincellarmy6972]

I think this applies mostly to good queens. Queens who actually care their people. What tended to happen is that the children and descendants of good, hardworking leaders either grow too spoiled to care for the common folk, or they get dethroned by a rival. Salute to all the leaders out there who understood the real weight of their titles though. They really are a jeweled bird, caged by their responsibilities and shackled by every mistake that hurt their people.

He says 1,000 gold pieces, and she says, well that's not so bad The princess gives him the money, knowing in advance it wouldn't be cheap and bringing a proportionate amount She pays and he hands over the crown but it is swooped away by the princess's mother The daughter asks, Mom why can't I have the crown? The mother responds with.... This crown will cost you more than money It will require you to make sacrifices To say things you normally wouldn't To do things only a coward or vicious butcher could This crown is a symbol of your kingdom and everything you stand for It will not just cost you 1,000 gold pieces But a lifetime of servitude and pain as well I hope you know and understand this well my princess, for one day you will wear this crown And have to take all the burdens that comes with it - the princesses diary

[@selenaautufuga7597]

"With willing minds, and loving hearts, go straight to grasp the fire." When hearing this, someone might think of the phrase 'if you play with fire you're going to get burned' but that is NOT what is happening. This is men and women throwing themselves upon the flames of war with their heads held high, knowing they will die. On some level, we all want to be the ones with hearts strong enough to do the same. And to be the one forced to watch as this happens, helpless but to continue sending more, that is torture. We all love the tragic Queen, but she hates herself. Long lives the Queen. Short lives her heart.

Her (in the anime King Arther is a woman don't ask) wish is to have never pulled Calibern and have someone else be the King for two reasons. 1. Because she feels that because Camelot fell was because she wasn't good enough and someone else could do better And 2. Because while a king she was unable to show any emotion and at all times had to be "perfect"

[@elizabethcooke6629]

The stars are very beautiful, above the palace walls, they shine with equal splendour still above far humbler halls. I watch them from my window, but their bright entrancing glow, ADVERTISING reminds me of the freedom I gave up so long ago. The royal circlet of bright gold rests lightly on my brow, I once thought only of the rights this circlet would endow. But once I took the crown to which I had been schooled and bred, I found it heavy on the heart, though light upon the head. Although I am the head of state, in truth I am the least, the true queen knows her people fed, before she sits to feast. The good queen knows her people safe, before she takes her rest, thinks twice and thrice and yet again, before she makes request. For they are all my children, all, that I swore to defend, it is my duty to become both queen and trusted friend and of my children high and low, from beggar to above, the dearest are my Heralds, who return my care with love. The dearest are my Heralds, swift to spring to my command. Who give me aid and fellowship, who always understand that land and people first have needs that I may not deny so I must send my dearest friends to danger - and to die. A friend, a love, a child, it matters not, I know indeed, that I must sacrifice them all if there should be the need. They know and they forgive me - doing more than I require, with willing minds and loving hearts go straight to grasp the fire. These tears that burn my eyes are all the tears the queen can't shed, the tears I weep in silence as I mourn my Heralds dead. Oh gods that dwell beyond the stars, if you can hear my cry and if you have compassion, let me send no more to die!

I had my "pack" I let my younger brother play with my friends and me. He wanted to be leader. He truly has no idea. Our school hated us, we were surrounded by danger, kids truly wanted to hurt us, and we had to learn to fight back. We always took the blame, no matter how many times the hit and kicked and punched us. The worry of how to keep my two best friends safe tore me apart, and then one day, I just snapped. One of the kids attacked the closer of my two friends, and although she would have had no trouble beating him, I lunged in and tackled him. I clawed him pretty badly. Another kid was very aggressive. He was going to hurt her, and before I knew what I was doing, I had pushed her out of the way and taken the blow for her. I did this over and over again, and I still feel pain where they punched me or stabbed me with sharp things. This is not a lie or exaggerated story. So much more happened, I keep remembering those awful times, I have panic attacks now. Once you become leader, you realize that you have absolutely no power. I couldn't stop them all. I couldn't keep them safe enough. It gives me nightmares sometimes, and while I'm normal on the outside, on the inside, I'm completely broken. I can hurt people without feeling empathy. People call me a psychopath. But I can care. I began to see my closer friend as more than a friend. If something is hurting or annoying her, I'll drop everything just to be by her side. And she's in love with someone else, who likes her back. I want her to be happy, but it hurts so much. But this had gone on long enough. If anyone reads this, thank you. I want my story to be told, but this only covers a bit. There was so much pain. If you read this far, I know it sounds childish, but please, don't forget me. I don't want to be forgotten.

the guilty feeling of a queen that she understands that a sacrifice of friends and love ones is needed for others,in order to survive they're love ones.

[@BeccaCalaRoarr3]

nah yo, I am a ruler (High king queEen and Ace) and ya I said it! I also planned to have this song remixed! please be on the look out for a movie made by me Becca Cala Roarr!

[@victorygraceforever]

[@goatlove6901]

bruhhh i love the background and the tone of this amazing job :)

[@lionlionheart2181]

If they could have sung this song back when there were many kings and queens time.

[@littlemissanime123]

So beautiful... reminds me of the snk ost Before Lights Out. Queen Historia is a true queen

[@nurulhidayahazarudin3923]

This song remind me Diana, the princess of England who died long time ago. RIP

[@kaymd12]

I can’t be the only one who is coming here for a tribute to queen Elizabeth

[@WeirdDistortionsOfAnxiety]

This is a incredibly good song, and the melody is just pitch perfect. The story that it tells is heavy on the emotion thus making it even more better. I shed a tear for it and now have a beloved song carved to my mind and heart. Thank you.

[@stephsdlnthms3957]

Yep, definitely an Aelin from Throne of Glass vibe here...

[@alexanderseldes1069]

Indeed, the life of a princess is no fairy tale.

[@MiladyGrace]

her young voice reminds me of the queen in my story. she took the throne at 17 and has to fight a war right off. it's a struggle, to say the least.

[@colinmoore7460]

Sounds pretty close to the original. Selany had the same issues when she became Queen. See Arrows of the Queen trilogy by Mercedes Lackey, the first trilogy in her Heralds of Valdemar books

[@MiladyGrace]

@@colinmoore7460 but was she blind?

[@yassinelamouchi8386]

The art looks like Scheherazade from magi and i love it ❤🤤

[@zorathemagic7310]

The art is so pretty

[@anger_birb]

Haven't listened to nightcore in a while. Sounds as great as ever

[@ray80082]

I've loved this song since I found it about a year ago, and now this just makes it even better. Thank you for this Galaxy.

[@oliviatheshark3704]

I love the Celtic feel of this song💚

[@yaoiblfan]

Speechless. Just crying for the message it carries.

[@laraibzafer6140]

This song fits Erwin Smith perfectly 😍 He feels the same way of letting his soldiers die...he thinks its his fault !

[@kaylieornelas8044]

Levi because he thinks isabell and Farlon was his falt and he could not protect Marco he wants to be a great camander but his hard

[@strawberryckes]

I think this song fits both Erwin and Levi so well. It shows how they both feel guilt over not being able to save the soldiers killed by Titans or in Levi's case, Isabell and Farlon. But that's just me!

[@aidenplayz5926]

Why do I connect to this song so well?...

[@colinmoore7460]

Because Mercedes Lackey really knows how to write! She wrote both the original novels and the lyrics for the songs.

[@mistyjohnson8853]

This song always makes me tear up... The story behind it is so brutal :')

[@kirstenenriquez6485]

I FREAKING LOVE IT!!!

[@DaughterOfHelios]

The background is just amazing

[@TheJpmuzz]

love this song and the image is fitting

[@indecisiveimbecile7576]

For all my fellow Warriors fans (and no, you do not have any right to judge me on this. People can like any types of books they want, it doesn't matter unless they're happy and content with them.) I imagined this as a theme-song kind of thing for Leafpool, the former ThunderClan medicine cat. Let me tell you why. Warning: Spoilers for the second series & up. 1. 0:05-0:20 speaking of the three stars she watched near the end of the second series, and by "palace walls" and "far humbler walls" she's referring to the new ThunderClan camp as well as the old. Palace walls as in the new, and remembering back to the old ThunderClan camp in Forest territory, where she had grown in the hollow in the forest when it says "far humbler walls". By "window" she means the medicine den and possibly the Moonpool. 2. 0:22-0:27 by "freedom" she is referring to when she had left the Clans with Crowfeather, and when she had abandoned Crowfeather by joining ThunderClan once more after the badger attack. 3. 0:28-0:38 How when she became a medicine cat she remembered that has an apprentice she had imagined how much it would mean to her to be the next medicine cat after her mentor. 4. 0:39-0:50 She had been mentored by Cinderpelt on this, and she had always knew somehow that she was meant to follow the trail of a medicine cat. But once Cinderpelt was dead, she dreaded the thought of being a medicine cat without her precious mentor to guide her, though now she had "everything" she had always dreamed of. 5. 0:51-0:56 how Leafpool doubted herself and her abilities to be a medicine cat without the guidance of Cinderpelt. 6. 0:57-1:13 how she thought of how she now had to care for her Clan as a leader or a deputy would, and that she was to accept Brightheart's help. She still doubted herself to be a true medicine cat, as her bond with Crowfeather must come after her Clan. She had still been willing to abandon her Clan for Crowfeather, but a true medicine cat never made such a choice. She always puts her Clan before all else. Now I will finish this later in a reply to this because I'm too lazy to do it all right now.

[@eldysparrownest9164]

Wow. That's some deep thinking. Now my thought that Bluestar fits this song well doesn't feel so right anymore..

[@indecisiveimbecile7576]

Eldy Sarrownest, thanks, I'm on the third series now and I completely forgot about this xD I'll continue today or tomorrow just for the fun of it

[@indecisiveimbecile7576]

1:15-1:24 How as a medicine cat she made the choice never to mate or have kits because the whole Clan is considered her kits, but she still bore the kits between her and Crowfeather, but gave them to Squirrelflight to keep her trust as a medicine cat. {Yeah, I kinda fell apart at that part} 1:25-1:37 She's speaking about her kits, Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf, when she speaks about her "dearest." 1:38-1:42 She's talking about how Jayfeather and/or Lionblaze {I'm not to that book yet, but I know the plot} found Hollyleaf tempting Leafpool to eat the deathberries. 1:43-1:59 She's talking about just before the battle. 2:00-2:10 She's talking about how so many cats entered the battle, including her kits. {Was Firestar still alive? Also, Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight were probably there, too.} 2:12-2:25 She's speaking of how they were all in battle to drive out the "fire." {The Dark Forest} 2:27-3:01 She's mourning the death of Hollyleaf, and she calls out to StarClan, praying that they wouldn't let her Clan send any more of her kin to die. Well I did my best it's still pretty good considering I'm only on the 2nd book of the 3rd series

[@crystalrose915]

Hello fellow warriors fan and thank you for this the first cat that jumps to my mind when I hear this is bluestar (I’m a warriors fan too)

[@jaded8578]

this actually makes a lot of sense, i mean i would've connected it more to bluestar but the "queen" part can also be a metaphor for any high-esteemed task

[@AnimeFan-bw1qn]

such powerful and lovely

[@KieraTheFox]

Hey Nightcoregalaxy 💜 I wanted to thank you for all those nightcores you are uploading. I mostly find new songs on your channel, that'd why I subbed you :3 You have the same music taste as me. Thank you again!

[@izzyjohn]

This is my favourite video! I shall always return for this beauty!

[@jocelynjohnson7833]

OKAY SO I KNOW I'M SUPER LATE BUT I LOVE THIS SONG AND WANTED TO SEE THE ORIGINAL ARTIST RIGHT? AND I CHECK THE DESCRIPTION AND WHAT DO I SEE?!?! MERCEDES. LACKEY. WHO HAS WRITTEN AMAZING BOOKS ABOUT THE HERALDS!!! ARE THEY THE SAME PERSON? DID SHE RIGHT THIS SONG?! #FANGIRLING

[@roseberry6942]

Mercedes Lackey wrote the song. She is well known in "filk" circles, but she rarely actually sings them.

[@dizzyandfizzy]

Yes. She wrote (and sang some of) the songs to go with the story... there are alot because there are alotnof books. I though one as the only one who could make the connection 😂😂😂

[@nyx2199]

I love her! I hadn’t realized she wrote this song. Though thinking on it, it actually makes some sense.

[@littleoni0]

Up for some necromancy. At the end of her books, Lackey usually inserts the songs that are supposed to be sung in that book. In the Herald-Mage saga, for example, you will find the song Talia is reading at the beginning of Arrows. This one is at the end of the Arrows saga for some reason (I know it's supposed to be Selenay, but Selenay's past is revealed in detail a lot later in Exile's)

[@SekhmetReverence]

She actually wrote all these song collections first as folk songs then a publisher picked her up for the valdemar universe around them. Shes got like 10 albums, but you cant buy them or get them anywhere but youtube now.

[@Jennagryphon]

I really wish people would remember to give Mercedes Lackey the credit for this song, after all, its based off her books, and IIRR she wrote the song herself. Look it up sometimes, the Haralds of Valdamar.

[@TyranntX]

The original is literally credited in the description 🤦 I really wish people would be compelled to pay attention

[@TheMizpah2000]

A true ruler puts the need of their people before their own because they understand that the sacrifice of one person's happiness is a fair trade for the happiness of hundreds. Many little girls dream of becoming royalty but very few understand that the role is more than just ballgowns and jewels and handsome princes. Very few can handle the weight of the crown.

[@Progeusz]

This song is sending shivers down my spine every time I listen to it.

[@kylegediearandid9806]

"So I must send my dearest friends to danger--and to die" I'm really hurt....

[@neonishh2363]

This was beautiful♥️😭

[@someonerandom4660]

This is giving me the school for good and evil vibes. The picture reminds me of Sophie And the song reminds me of Agatha

[@KlomvonCraft]

Anything where someone pays the ultimate price can be remembered upon listening to this.

[@bdog7850]

This hits hard after the death of the queen. RIP Queen Elizabeth

[@ProsiaczekMr]

These tears that burn my eyes are all the tears that queen can’t shed, the tears I wheep in silence as I mourn my heralds dead...

[@animegal3090]

I subscribed because of this song❤❤

[@RainbowStar2005]

idk why but listening to this i think of bishamon from noragami.. then again idk why XD (Great vid tho!

this is amazing and so beautiful

I love this so much is has been stuck in my head all day so I came back to watch it again❤❤❤❤❤

[@unwantedpoems2354]

I love that picture! Amazing nightcore!!

[@tikisix9873]

This song is beautiful. I know some people in the comment section are thinking of their favourite fantasy themed media [video games, movies, TV shows etc.] But this song reminds me of how despite any power they seem to wield leaders and celebrities are still people with beating hearts and imperfections yet we treat them so poorly every time they make a mistake. Yes some of those mistakes can have dangerous consequences but the same goes for "ordinary" people [such as those who drink too much alcohol or take drugs] we don't realize how much pressure we put on these "important" people and we forget that they're human and not some sort of god. They're stressed out enough just dealing with their own lives and responsibilities, they don't need us shaming them and harassing them for not being good enough. I'm sure that many of these celebrities/politicians/other famous people are doing the best that they can despite how horribly the public may treat them. I'm not saying I condone some of the actions taken by some of these famous people but I can understand that they are not gods or heartless monsters, they are human just like the rest us.

[@TheCrow938]

This song is so heatbreakingly real that you can feel the pain when she talks about having to send her heralds to die.

[@Amaya567]

Ugh god this song is glorious

[@twisty_the_dracoraptor5081]

this really reminds me of princess celestia
