Toss A Coin To Your Witcher (Cover) Colm R. McGuinness

[@00bubbles00]

As a professional singer, it seemed he was kinda struggling and cutting off some of his high notes, and the three really high notes in the chorus don’t resonate well over the music. Plus he has a different accent than me and most people I work with so that might be it too, he still did good though.

Fantastic rendition Colm! Thank you for the vocal range, the sweet fingering of that beautiful.. instrument, and best of all a sweater sponsor finally!

[@osirisa2034]

The thing about music that I feel mos modern music has forgotten is that it’s meant to tell a story. To bring what would normally just be a tale told from parents to their children a new life through tone and instrumental additions. Music like this from the Witcher is bringing things back to what it used to be and I wish they would do it more. We need to get people to tell stories again through music or what ever medium they enjoy most and bring back the mystery of the imagination. Your rendition of this was fantastic though and it makes me wish that they had gone to you to play the bard in the series!

[@karanoi7522]

[@HistorytheShortStory]

"Toss a Coin To Your Witcher" is a song from the Netflix fantasy series The Witcher, composed by Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli with lyrics by Jenny Klein, and performed by Joey Batey in-character as the bard Jaskier. The song became a viral hit after the show's release in 2019, known for its catchy melody, humorous lyrics recounting Geralt of Rivia's exploits, and Batey's energetic performance. It sparked countless remixes, covers, and fan tributes, cementing its place as an iconic piece of pop culture tied to The Witcher universe.

Hey, I have to admit that I had to get used to your videos. They are not overloaded with visuals but rather subdued and pure (not sure if that works in English, but maybe the meaning is there). I now very much enjoy both the videos and the songs themselves (several of which are on my playlists). I hope that, when you read this, you learn that one more person appreciates the work you put into all this. And maybe by writing this I can return some of the positive vibes I received when listening to your songs. I wish you all the best for the future!
