Valheim - Sailing A Cappella (...almost)

[@Harrmoir]

Hello! I am the composer for Valheim and I just wanted to stop by and thank you for making this cover. Making this required your time, energy and enthusiasm and I thank you for your work! It's always fun to hear other people reinterpret music, and when that music is my own it feels amazing (and this is a cool cover) :-) I'm also a big fan of the human voice, since it is the closest instrument we have to ourselves. All the best, and I'm looking forward to hearing more of what you do! Patrik Jarlestam

[@ScottPenick]

Thank you Patrik, I'm so glad you liked it! Your compositions for Valheim are incredible. I'm hopeful that Iron Gate continues to work with you for more music, because I look forward to hearing The Mistlands come to life. I've already done some transcribing on the rest of the soundtrack to study what makes it so affecting to me (those stacked-5th chord voicings in the Meadows!!! I love them!!!). So I may have more Valheim covers coming soon :)

[@Harrmoir]

@@ScottPenick Thank you so much for your wonderful words! I have a full analysis and breakdown of the Meadows theme to be filmed and put on youtube, how it's composed and how the chords are stacked on different instruments. Hopefully I can get around to filming it soon :-)

[@ScottPenick]

Yes!!! I look forward to seeing it!

[@joelhodoborgas]

Thank you for the great music!

[@Harrmoir]

@@joelhodoborgas You are very welcome. Thank you so much for enjoying it and taking time to listen to the music!

[@Comsworth]

My friends and I spent two full days building and laughing in the meadows and by the end of the second day, we finally got around to building a boat and adventuring on the sea for the first time. When this song came on, everyone went silent and just enjoyed the ride and music. This was the moment I knew Valheim was one of those special games that stands out amongst the rest when we think about our favorite and most cherished games. Thank you for making this :)

[@Triforcefilms]

Dude! This is great! didn't think anyone else did Valheim covers lol.

[@ScottPenick]

Not a lot of us, no. Kind of a hard soundtrack to cover, which is why I picked probably the easiest track on the OST :). But it's certainly iconic! Your cover of "Welcome to Valheim" is incredible! Everybody should check it out!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp-coa2nfJ2qm5Ysi=TlGgPYZDN87NtJ1n

[@Tigs2]

Scott i subbed as this really is incredible. I cannot believe it.

[@dinoworld112]

amazing

[@SGTPandaOfficial]

Bro, as a fan of the game, and a fellow musician, this cover is really heart warming to hear. I know the game hasn't been out for so long, but this is already such a nostalgic trip. Thank you so much for this, my friend. - SGT Panda

[@tobygoodman9134]

When those horns hit, you know that sailing trip is going to be dank. This is an awesome rendition. Amazing bro.

[@ScottPenick]

Definitely. I originally tried singing the lead part by making it sound like a French Horn but quickly learned there's a fine line before that sounds like Kermit the Frog. But anyway yeah I agree, I love this theme for that very reason :)

[@DanParkerFilms]

Well I guess its time to dive into Valheim again after seeing this in my recommended. Outstanding cover, real display of talent here.

[@NoVaOnYT01]

This is beautiful, I am a euphonium player, and I printed out the french horn (lead) so I can play it too

[@mikepotsy]

No words. Beautiful rendition.

[@uthelm445]

Great. Epic. Inspiring. Masterpiece 🙏

[@silky4057]

doing a full play through right now. and seeing this made my day

[@Kadath_Gaming]

That was beautiful, I hope you do more of this incredible soundtrack

[@luckymulligan6262]

Impressive. Thank you.

[@000canal]

Amazing; I love this song

[@MrWorsterLike]

real gang bopper this

[@LordBifMusic]

Brilliant! I loved this theme and you gave it justice!

[@RaptorMaitre]

This is amazing! I found myself unknowingly singing along you. I wish i could keep this as a sleep track on my music list.

[@SirNarax]

Yes! Please more this is beautiful.

[@sweetnerevar3509]

You've got some sick skills and talent here Scott! can't stop listening :D

[@Kohleria]

This is so good, I rarely comment on youtube but I can't stop listening lol. The nighttime part is so soft, and everything here is so perfect in general. It makes me wish there were alternate ambient tracks for night, storms, and other environmental conditions while sailing. Great job, please keep it up, you are an amazing musician :) it inspires me to try playing the instruments I quit years ago after 10 years of study. Seeing the fruits of others' relentless practice is amazing. You deserve way more views.

[@ScottPenick]

Incredibly kind of you, thank you so much! You absolutely should dust off those instruments and play them!

[@Jason608]

Whoa, I wasn't expecting the whistling, and it sounds great!

[@jakeloganedwards]

I love the drum and hand percussion, very nice! 👌 Been playing the heck out of this lately, the voyages are the best part of the game for me.

[@ScottPenick]

Absolutely. Hauling a longship filled to the brim with iron back home, this song kicks in when you get up to speed... *chef's kiss*

[@sandybowne-culberson3639]

Love this!!! Wish they played this music in Valheim

[@pavlestojanovic9631]

this is amazing man

[@bl8de3]

this is fucking beautiful

[@TheBenningtonLine]

Amazing! I absolutely love the music in valheim so relaxing!

[@nerohdarkhand]

I think you should include as well the sea serpent and thunderstorm ( dangerous ) moments on the open sea in the travel-scenes. It would discover all aspects of sea traveling in valheim. - awesome work, especially this vocal cover made it a favourite to my ears.

[@dnagoodall1013]

Very nicely done sir. I can imagine how much effort this rendition took to create.

[@tomtotenberg5428]

Holy shit, I love this. Absolutely gorgeous!!

[@popwar613]

Sailing ore down the coast in my mind

[@Smiffe]

oh my lord. I love this :O

[@Tinnesa]

Glad we are using this time stuck indoors during the pandemic for something good.

[@ScottPenick]

Just shy of 200 hours played of Valheim in the month I've had it. No regrets.

[@Tinnesa]

@@ScottPenick I'm at 164 hours myself. It's great!

[@Harrmoir]

@@Tinnesa Hahah, you've all beaten how much time I've spent in the game. Fantastic :-) Well done all of you!

[@Kitfox080]

Amazing. I love it!

[@RosealynGaming]

Very nicely done! Love this man! I'll be working on gathering some silver today to this. 👍👍👍

[@ScottPenick]

Fill a longship with silver and make a frostner for everyone!

[@joelhodoborgas]

Real shit dude, this is boss

[@vfz87]

❤

[@dinoworld112]

My favorite part was when he went BA BA barrr baa baa ba barrr

[@toastgoblin9851]

give this more views

[@grimmy2313]

This looks better than sailing in Assassin's Creed Valhalla that didn't have open oceans. :O

[@dezarla]

This is brilliant. Better than the song in game.

[@xxxlonewolf49]

Ya won't need that 'wooden box' instrument if you'd kill off one of your many clones & use the body to make a 'human one' ;-)

[@kazdull]

Are those stormtroopers clones on their day off?

[@MrEpicGamer25565]

Great cover! And also I love the shirt, where could I get one?

[@ScottPenick]

Thanks! I made the shirt by isolating those graphics and compressing them onto a shirt using infusible inks, so unfortunately it's not a thing you can get anywhere...
