The Humble Knight - Original

[@timothyscheneman1689]

Just when I think I found everything about bdg, I find out about another channel

[@natebaker9174]

Brian why is everything you do such a work of art?

[@g.t.3186]

Lyrics I found online because having to go back and fourth between sites was starting to get annoying: The knight in his armor, cold Was unable to find love Trapped in a large shell of onyx and gold But with a heart as light as a dove He looked up into the listless sky and saw a lock of vermillion hair The fiery maiden had caught his eye And he knew that he had to be there So many miles the knight had tread And yet his lass was never there But still the image of her hair was fresh inside his head So hush now child the silence keep The humble knight has come to call and I'll be here until I fall Until I fall asleep No light until the knight had come And his search proved fruitless and vain Every village he searched, every town he came from Proved a link in a resolute chain But when he asked about a maiden with fiery hair Stories of her would unfurl A maiden who needn’t know night or care Was called the antipodal girl She cast a light wherever she went And yet her form would cast no shade And even as this song is played Her voyage is not spent So in years of his searching The knight had made no ground But through all of his trials He heard a hopeful sound That a fiery maiden was searching for a knight Who could balance her light Now night and day do circle the earth In search of love they’ll never meet But still upon their tireless feet They dance eternally So hush now child the silence keep The humble knight has come to call and I'll be here until I fall I'll be here until I fall I'll be here until I fall Until I fall asleep

Thank you very much

Minor correction for the third stanza: "He looked up into the listless sky" not "He looked into the laser night sky"

[@aliteralgoblin8761]

the angle this was filmed at is making it really hard to see where his fingers are. thanks 2012 bdg for making this song so difficult to transcribe

[@aliteralgoblin8761]

anyways the intro is C5 E7 F E7 C7 D7 G mute (x2)

[@itsrainbow123]

i'm trying to transcribe the chords as well and he threw in some wAcKy chords that are definitely a challenge to figure out lmao

[@r3dstoner3quired27]

@@aliteralgoblin8761 it doesn't help that bdg is very, v e r y good at switching chords very, v e r y fast :P i'm trying my best but it's DIFFICULT

[@carpetwizard2416]

in the description, it also says that he messed up some of the chords, so that will just make it even more complicated

[@queenoftrashcans6970]

I like to think they met on the eclipse and that makes me immensely happy. Also BDG my absolute BOI.

[@Luv215]

I love this song so much! I would love to hear a new version of it !

[@YuuKanda07]

I physically felt romantic excitement from this song, it's so good!

[@rojomoon9661]

I feel romantic excitement from almost every bdg video

[@tes-quick]

This is the most beautiful song i have ever heard

[@kuiperchaos121]

This makes me want to make a companion song by the fiery maiden

[@kate17ification]

Didn't even notice any messed up chords. I blame it on me being distracted by your snappy looking sweater vest :) haha Seriously though, you never disappoint with your songs.

[@itsrainbow123]

Oh my goodness this is so fucking cute it's nice to know brian was always this talented

[@Meyechanel]

this song is a beauty and a beast at the same time.

[@The_Conundrum_Crew]

Is this Brian from Polygon?! I just looked up Humble Knight on google and found this.

[@patrickmilligan9219]

Welcome, Friend.

[@paperfishstudios3144]

this is indeed that brian! if you're looking for more stuff by him, he still uploads comedic videos on his other channel, which is just "brian david gilbert" all lowercase, had a podcast called Let's Make A Music for a while, and he was in a band called The Altogether, as well.

[@francesatty7022]

yes but he was probably around 18 years old here

[@dayalasingh5853]

@@paperfishstudios3144 isn't he still in the altogether? I think they last released an album last year.

[@paperfishstudios3144]

@@dayalasingh5853 yes he is! when i wrote that i think the band was on a hiatus

"Why are you looking at this?"

[@lushbear8175]

I wonder how Brian feels about his old KZbin channel being found by people who know him from his current work.

[@sinistersandcastle]
