Æthelflæd - The Last Kingdom: Season 5 Soundtrack (Unofficial)

No copyright infringement intended. Music by John Lunn and Eivør for Netflix's 'The Last Kingdom.'
Taken from 5x04 and plays during the final scenes of the episode during the funeral procession for Æthelflæd. Contains what may be a theme for Æthelflæd. I'm still in awe of the fact that John Lunn and Eivør did this... that people can create something as breathtaking as this to listen to.

[@DylanSkie]

Lyrics: (they begin at 2:28) Faroese: Sokkin inn í djúpa tøgn Sálin hongur dokk Komin er hin myrka nátt Og tú dregur tín síðsta andadrátt English: (roughly) Sunken into deep silence, The soul falls dark. The dark night comes As you draw your last breath.

[@JeanpierreLegourbassiet]

The directing in the end of this episode is gold. It seems like a classical fade to black transition to the credits, as we see her in the coffin, carried into the church. But that slow fade is not just a transition, it is our way to live the farewell just like Uthred does: He can watch her body, her coffin, going slowly away until the procession flows deeply inside the church. She disappears step by step, until Uthred's eyes, and ours, can no longer see her.

[@raveneyes7191]

Spoiler.. I live how she died in her protectors arms. Safe. Loved. Warm. Just perfect ending for her. Sad but beautifully done. And his tenderness with her in the night as they both still lay there together was just so touching. I cry every single time.

The sound track for season 5 was spectacular. Considering this was all filmed and produced during covid lockdown, it was the best of all 5 seasons. Maybe the dark period illuminated the the artist brain of Eivor & John Lunn to different heights.

Season 5 truly has the greatest moments of the series. Both the saddest and happiest. What amazes me most about this scene is how mature Uhtred becomes when he states that no King can rule without bloodshed and how he wasn't going to retaliate.

[@663lotty]

I totally agree, this shows real character development from Uhtred here. In earlier series he would have gone off at the deep end and only made things worse. But here you can see his maturity in the way he views things. It also fits in with what he decides at the end of the show. A really good development here and a very beautiful goodbye and end for the Lady of the Mercia into the bargain. ❤

Incredibly underrated series. Of course it’s canceled because most people do not care of nuances. Always saw myself like Uthred, trying to unite family and friends on opposite sides of politics and religion. Using humor and logic- getting scolded by each on occasion, I have learned to stand alone but provide strength to those I love when needed.

[@Adner_Augusto]

Trilha sonora espetacular, quando Aethelflaed morreu eu fiquei voltando toda hora nos créditos e escutando essa música.

[@rhebert4]

Thank you. I love the version on the album, but I was looking all over for this version. So Epic!!!

[@craigsetzer9726]

Such well done music, so many sounds in this track. It goes well with the stark contrasts of Brida losing her daughter but perhaps finding faith against the queen’s mother losing her daughter and her faith. Brida’s daughter buried in a cavelike tomb also contains a strong allegory. The track begins with a hint of a bagpipes first notes in a dirge, then the deliberate strings/strumming into a crescendo with a gothic children’s chant for the precession is powerful continuing beyond the fade to black mimicking the darkness and shadow cast by the church. Again in contrast to the light of the cave scene. Well done.

Even though it is a tv show but i cannot enjoy the show without Aethaflaed. I think I love her and her character. And when she dies this was the saddest moment in the whole series of Last Kingdom. And this beautiful song has made those sad moments even more sadden..

At first I thought it was my video! But after listening I realized that you are a well done! You did better than me, friend! In my version there is no moment where Uhtred says "Edward's rule will not be challenged. His line will watch the throne until it becomes their turn... Just as King Alfred wanted." And this moment is insanely beautiful. Thank you)

[@DylanSkie]

Haha were you ready to tell me to credit you for taking your video? And yeah, this one might be my favorite cue from the entire series… it really encapsulates so many emotions that Uhtred has felt throughout it.
