The Golden One - Joey Batey with Lyrics | Jaskier | The Witcher Season 2 Soundtrack

The Golden Ones - a song by Jaskier (Dandelion) in the Netflix TV series The Witcher Season 2. With lyrics.
Lyrics:
The king called on the kingdom to gather all their best
To slay a mighty dragon because it was his pest
A strange little man came forth to request a deft assist
But the Witcher was quite reluctant, the story had a twist
The Golden One with the golden rules
Two warrior belles with all the tools
More dazzling than all the jewels
Oh, they showed us we're all fools
They showed us we're all fools
Oh, we're just fools
The old little man fell swiftly off a cliff and to his death
We sadly mourned the loss, thought we'd witnessed his last breath
But then he breathed some fire on the goon that came his way
'Cause he was a golden dragon, not a man with temples gray
The Golden One with the golden rules
Two warrior belles with all the tools
More dazzling than all the jewels
Oh, they showed us we're all fools
They showed us we're all fools
Oh, we're just fools
The Witcher loved his woman
The sorceress beauty
But the solemn golden dragon told them it was not to be
The wise sad dragon's truth broke what never could repair
But that lovable old lutanist won the hearts of the huntress pair
Oh, the Golden One with the golden rules
Two long-necked warriors with all the tools
More dazzling than all the jewels
Oh, they showed us we're all fools
They showed us we're all fools
Oh, we're just fools
We're just fools

Every single episode should end with a song by jaskier

You have an excelent point

Someone give this man a job, he's going places.

[@huggleskuishy]

Yes

[@bartoszgolo7501]

That was what they actually did for the old polish Witcher series 🤔

[@TheOwlThief]

petition for ss3 to have that

[@ceciliaslepmet4840]

There really wasn't enough Jaskier in this show

[@huggleskuishy]

Hope there is much more in S3

There can never be enough of Jaskier

[@robbiemcguire6094]

I love how they actually put this song about their dragon adventure in

[@Tylran]

Don't know if you've read the books, but in the books Geralt is constantly getting accosted by people who've heard Dandelion's (=Jaskier's) songs about him and Yennefer and all of Geralt's deeds. It's a fantastic piece from the books executed well in the show.

Always has been 😄

Toss a Coin still the song that really slaps. But was still impressed with Joey Batey's singing talents in this season. His jail song may be underrated.

So lock me up and sock me up And throw away the key.... love this song more than burn butcher burn

Burn Butcher Burn is the greatest thing ever. I love it more than Toss A Coin. Whoreson Prison Blues is brilliant as well 😁😁😁

[@gamerstheater1187]

The people who insult his singing lack taste Covid must be serious in the this show

[@taravolna6192]

Musically this song slaps the hardest in my opinion, lyrically it's nice too but it's really the melody that makes this

[@cellorosemusic12]

Yes I absolutely love it!!!

[@Metalicsound013]

If you like Jaskier listen to his actor's band "The Amazing Devil" ! It's so good !

[@katiewright3309]

Second this. Absolutely love The Amazing Devil's music.

he doesn't sing solo there unfortunately

[@megasauruss]

@@TheAiluy wdym? why does that matter? both him and her are both incredible singers

[@TheAiluy]

@@megasauruss yeah. it matters for me. I'm not quite fond of female vocals

[@megasauruss]

@@TheAiluy that sounds like a you problem.

[@bitsnthings]

When u realise this is the song jaskier had to “get from the others” because Geralt sent him away ://

[@reginaitskova1584]

That explains why the story makes zero sense if you just listen to the song. If you were a villager trying to follow the song you would be very confused about what happened and why the dragon was suddenly an old man giving love advice and where the sorceress came from and what in the world it all meant. Makes Way more sense if Jaskier only had hearsay to go off of.

[@karolis_n3797]

I really like the part at 1:32 when geralt does the little head tilt to the side. It just shows how much he is amazed.

[@TheAuthorgal]

This has to be one of the best of the Witcher short stories. Or at least it's one of my favorites.

Same Jaskier must be protected at all cost i hope he writes a song about Geralt and Cirilla

i love this song

[@draydinbardon9782]

Not his best, if im being honest. And the part where the lutanist ends up with the warrior ladies... Didnt really ring true for me i must say.

[@Vexarax]

That's the point. He lies in all his songs to make it sound better, when the truth is usually disappointing and depressing. They point that out repeatedly during the show and books, with reference to his songs :)

@@draydinbardon9782 - I am sooo stupid haha sorry, it was like 4am when I wrote that but no excuse. I was talking about that very scene you were referencing under a different video like _yesterday_ as I thought it was really funny they took a jab at the way a lot of people complained about season 1 :P how he "didn't realize it was different timelines until verse 4" etc, LOL. I was asking if anyone else noticed that scene, because it was definitely a light jab at all the complaints about season 1. Then I see someone actually referencing the scene and somehow don't notice, unforgivable lol I'm so sorry friend. I'm rewatching season 1 again now and honestly, what they did with the timelines is _BRILLIANT,_ I love it, and remember how happy I was when I worked out that's what they were doing the first time I watched it (before I even knew the books existed, ehe). Your comment is actually very clever, and my response is embarrassing. I shall now go and hang my head in shame.

2:25 That's revisionist history...

[@anyalazor7978]

Does anybody know what does "with the golden rules" mean? What rules? I love season 1 but don't remember anything about the dragon having rules🤔

[@nicecock5703]

don't dig too much i guess its just catchy line and all i know is golden rule does exist as a geometry in reality but that doesn't make sense here... maybe it could be like golden rules could be the power to turn into the dragon with golden scales

[@whitewolf1430]

"with the golden rules" should be pointing on same part in book, where Villentretenmerth (our dragon) says that golden dragons are no danger for humans cose they know there is not many of them. And are the only dragons that are able to live among humans without them knowing. If I remember correctly, havent read that part in long time. hope it helped

[@GeneralBrae]

I took that as just referring to the dragon's morals in a catchy and rhyming way. As far as I know in the source material they make a lot more about him being very much a 'good' dragon and teaching his newborn (who they defend as an egg in the fight scene) to care for others, be helpful etc. etc. which I figure is where this comes from.

[@Nackfer]

Considering that Joey Batey is a geek like Henry Cavill, the lyrics may have been influenced by the short story. I remember that the golden dragon set rules to fight him as if it were a knight versus knight single combat. Those could be the "golden rules", I think.

[@anyalazor7978]

Thank you everyone for your responses! If I remember correctly, Joey didn't write lyrics for this season's songs, he only co-wrote music? I am disappointed with the songs and music in general in this season, tbh, and the fact that there's no concrete answer for the meaning of this song makes me sad, the lyrics aren't very good. I hope the season 1 composer comes back for season 3 or they hire somebody else. Joey is, as always, a legend and performed the songs brilliantly 😍

[@thibom7942]

amazing

Same man like he is described as the most beautiful and we got a featherless golden chicken. To me he also doesn't look like a dragon and more like a wyvern in a way

@@Azrael_Halphas he is a more realistic dragon per say but there is truly no need for realism in a world of magic

[@TheShowdown16]

@@Christos_Chris Nope the Netflix abomination technically isn't even a dragon. Per definition a dragon has 4 legs + wings. Witcher 2 did a much better job. And the dragon there (child of this one) actually has the proper number of limbs and doesn't look like a chicken cover in gold paint.

[@Christos_Chris]

@@TheShowdown16 no animal has been observed having both wings and front legs, I agree that it looks more badass with 4 legs and wings (it ain't realistic but that is not bad)
