Tale of the Tongues - Skyrim Bard Song feat. Malukah

[@malufenix]

It was so much fun to revisit Skyrim's music with you, Peteeeer! :D I really love working with you. Thanks for inviting me once again!

[@thelegendaryt]

You have such a beautiful voice Malukah!

[@shadowcloudspher]

@Malukah what a blessing to see you sing. Would you do a video cover song from final fantasy called a thousand words?

[@PeterHollens]

Absolutely my pleasure as always!!!!

[@grandadmiralthrawn5028]

I’ve listened to your Skyrim DragonBorn Version millions of times. You have a voice of an angel and the feeling of ONE BIG BEAT.

[@ameytutor7474]

I LOVE all your songs Malukah, and know every word to all your Skyrim tunes...and I also love everything Peter has done so I'm glad you two tinkered with this one. You've made it better! Skyrim was my first video game (grew up in the boonies with books not electronics!) and therefore my first love!

“Avengers infinity war is the best crossover in history”. Peter: “Hold my sweet roll.”

[@Zerazer]

Think you misspelled "Cheese Wheel" ;) :D

[@ahauswal]

Lol!!

[@PeterHollens]

😂😂😂😂

[@direwolfknight5302]

This comment made me think of the inigo mod. "Hold my sweet roll my friend."

[@iknowisuck6587]

“Wait someone stole it....”

[@TERIDAX941]

"If Alduin is eternal, then eternity's done. For his story is over and the dragons... are gone." I always get chills when the song ends this way, it gives a sense of finality to the tale. Great cover, I always love your work with Malukah, the Thu'um is strong with you!

[@PeterHollens]

Appreciate it my friend!!! Thanks so much! Sounds like the Thu'um is strong with you as well 🙌

[@57Strudel]

And then we walk down the road toward Windhelm for a few minutes and an ancient dragon drops onto our head. "Gone? Really?" :D

[@silverbloodborne9495]

But we all know alduin is not gone after all he is supposed to win eventually . We just keep on stopping him but one day he will return stronger then ever and win .

@@silverbloodborne9495 This song is specifically about the Tongues, from long before the time of the Last Dragonborn. Eventually, Alduin will devour it all once more.

[@steveelliott2876]

Peter Hollens collabs with Malukah are some of your most creative releases and this is definitely one of the best. The darkness and pyrotechnics in the background were really effective. 😎 Looking forward to the three Hollens Family collabs. I totally recommend being a Peter Patreon. If you are not one DO IT TODAY! Its totally worth it. Much ❤ and respect Steve, Chesterfield, UK

[@A_Rotisserie_Chicken]

There needs to be a mod that adds these two as characters in Skyrim and they sing they’re Skyrim songs. They should be able to travel with you and sing during battles and sing of the tales of the Dragonborn. I would put that mod at the top of my load order faster than my arrow piercing Alduin’s scales.

[@PeterHollens]

I would love that so much LOL

[@teagan_p_999]

Someone definitely made a mod that replaced all the bards songs in the game with Malukah's covers.

[@FoolOverride]

They are on Nexusmods. Tryed linking them here, but wasnt allowed. Your wish is granted.

[@emmadilemma00]

Wow, I haven't heard Malukah sing a skyrim song in a hot minute. I used to be obsessed with her skyrim covers. With the both of you, this is incredible!

[@PeterHollens]

She is the best! Thank you so much

[@MandalorV7]

Brings me back to when I first heard Malukah’s voice. I had started playing Skyrim for the first time and causally mentioned that I hadn’t taken a side in the civil war. That began an 80 something long comment thread between Imperial and Storm Cloak supporters. That’s the ultimate mix of geek and politics.

[@willowweedsYT]

Jacob Clark And even now nine years later people still get passionate about it, now that is how to make your choices matter to people in a video game.

[@PeterHollens]

Hahaha that sounds AMAZING

[@eliasgerlin609]

The real question is: What side did you chose, and why the imperial?

[@jeremygeller9145]

Easy, imperials, see the empire was founded by Talos/Tiber Septim, the previous Dragonborn as the new Dragon Born and after killing Titus Meade, who better to replaced humanity then a new line of Dragon blood rulers, so that’s my empire waiting for me and these stormcloaks are rebelling against me

[@SoLaurexia]

@@jeremygeller9145 this is a very refreshing take honestly, I mean you chose wrong but still :p Jokes aside, I chose the stormcloaks for a simple reason I played Oblivion, the blades are my homies and the empire sold 'em out and we were left with the two stooges.

[@SilverMysticWolf]

The crossover of the century that we never knew we needed. At least something good has come out in 2020 Xx

[@PeterHollens]

YESSSSSS! Thank you!

[@AvalynnsAntics]

Is it weird that I started crying while listening to this? Skyrim is my absolute favorite game. More Skyrim songs please!

[@PeterHollens]

You def aren't the only person who has said that so def not weird at all!

[@PeterHollens]

I agreeee, she's the best!

[@firelord60]

Skyrim was such an amazing experience and listening to this gave me a rush of memories and feelings of the time spent playing. I miss the age of Skyrim

[@vespertine9513]

Truly beautiful, Malukah and Peter Hollens always make such a complimentary pair in music. Is it strange I teared up a bit? Skyrim is my safe place and place to escape (as weird as it sounds) part of that is thanks to the music, and hearing this just makes me feel like I'm on a high peak overlooking a valley of Skyrim. At peace

[@PeterHollens]

Aww, thank you so much. I don't think it's weird at all. The song has a lot of emotion in it!!! Sending ya love!

[@andrwgeorge]

This song was a small detail in the game, but for me it was one of the absolute most satisfying details! I had just spent hours and hours focused on the main quest, defeated Alduin, and went back to my Lakewood home feeling tired and in need of an extended multi-day rest. And what do I hear when I arrive but my bard singing this wonderful song? Ah, so satisfying! I love this rendition, everything you guys do is great and I'm really happy you went back to Skyrim for this song. Thanks!

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

This is absolutely beautiful. What a masterpiece. A true masterpiece

[@PeterHollens]

Thank you so much!!

I only started playing the Elder Scroll series last October (I'm talking almost 1,000 hours of playtime here 🤣🤣🤣), but I absolutely love playing Skyrim and I just got both Oblivion and Morrowind just a few days ago. The Dragonborn song has always been one of my favorite songs to listen and sing to. I first heard it back in 2013, Malukah's version and your collaboration with Lindsey Stirling as well, and at the time I didn't know what the frak it was but I still loved it a LOT!! Been an avid follower of this channel for almost 4 years now and I'm still in love with your music along with Malukah's!! Keep it up Peter!!

Honestly if you're trying to bully I suggest trying somewhere else, because trying to hash a 17 year old over a KZbin comment is the complete lack of a spine and honestly pathetic.
