Avicii - Wake Me Up (Medieval Style | Bardcore) 

Well met everyone! First and foremost thank you all again for your support, the kind words, comments, criticism etc. I am totally overwhelmed by the feedback and I can't say enough how important it is for me to hear what you think and what the music means to you. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! As a side note I wanted to point out to some more platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, you name it) on which you can listen to this song and all the other covers, as of now: corneliuslink.lnk.to/wakemeup If there is something new regarding these platforms, I will keep you updatet. Stay tuned for more music to come soon and what is much more important: stay safe in these difficult times! I go back to my room at the Bards College of Solitude now and take some lessons with headmaster Viarmo. All the best to you!

For a moment I thought this was WAKE ME UP INSIIIDE

Me and my homies be vibing to this in a tavern drinking apple cabbage stew

I appreciate that someone took the time to create this masterpiece

Blacksmith: No you can't be a poet get back to work! Me:

Thank you good sir. Such a chill bop. ♥️

Forging my path through yon shadows Lead 'long by this core within I know not when I shall reach my repose Yet I know where I will begin They say that I behave of a court jester Living in childish fantasy Yet fate gives no renown should I not rise to wear the crown Though I'll not be beaten down Awaken me when all has ended When mine wounds are all but mended I hath spent years searching out destiny Yet all that was found was but me Awaken me when all has ended When mine wounds are all but mended I hath spent years searching out destiny Yet all that was found was but me Heavy is the head that bears a regal helm Yet such weight I can not raise Hoping that one day I shall rule the realm Yet this weakness but stays If only time could stop, no need to go on Not fearing the coming age Fate's but a plan to bring the weak from the strong Royalty is but a wage Awaken me when all has ended When mine wounds are all but mended I hath spent years searching out destiny Yet all that was found was but me Awaken me when all has ended When mine wounds are all but mended I hath spent years searching out destiny Yet all that was found was but me

Bardcore blew up but somehow they all just never sounded as good as the OGs you've made. Thanks for uploading, I've missed your covers.

"Hippity Hoppity, your music is now my playlist property"

CORNELIUS YOU BEAUTY coming back when the world needed him the most.

The Return of the King

Our muse hath returned upon us? Thank the heavens above!

Alas! The father of Bardcore returns with another hit!

Welcome back! This is great.

RIP Avicii and forever thanks to Aloe Blacc who wrote the melody, lyrics, and performed the vocals.

Welcome back, Sir Cornelius. Awaiting for Lady Hildegard to add her gorgeous vocals.

rip Avicii, and banger cover mate

Damn thy melody! For tis heavy and yet joyful, and has brought tears to thine eyes!

What I really like about your music is that it isn't just the same song with different instruments. You can feel how much thought went into it. Thank you.

Being a musician in feudal times was such a lucky gift. Kings would keep you around because there was literally no other source of music around and if you couldn't tell already, people love good music. No matter what race, sex, continent, or even time period. Ancient peoples could be swayed by the power of music. It's the language of God. It speaks to the infinite. Imagine walking into a castle or tavern and hearing this absolute banger. Timeless

_Clicks subtitles_ "[Music]" I don't what I was expecting

The man who started it all... riding into town... lute in the wind...

Tis’ good to see ya again my friend

When I first saw this, I was like: "Wake me up", and then what? Inside? Before you go-go? When September ends?

Am I the only one who knew this was Avicii by the title??

Dear Sir Avicii, we miss you. Our hearts cry since your departure. We would have liked to keep you longer. But sometimes it is too difficult to be the legend of an entire generation.

Wake me up at the break of dawn because there are only so many hours of sunlight in a day, and the sheep are not going to feed themeselves.

At least this isn't a meme, with that said you always made art in my opinion and the bard core conversion of wake me up is beatiful!!!!!!

Rest in peace Avicii

Truly a timeless masterpiece written by Sir Tim Bergling from the house of Avicii, known for the best bards throughout time. Although it's been 804 years since his passing, I still reminisce about his absence every day as if it was yesterday. Translation for all the kids before the 90s, 1290s to be exact: Forsooth an everlasting masterpiece written by Sir Tim Bergling from the house of Avicii, known for the meetest bards throughout time. Although 'tis been 804 years since his passing, I still reminisce about his absence every day as 'twere yesterday

I was having an awful day, thank you Cornelius.

for some reason the instruments used combined with the song made my head cool down. this actually could be good study music.

Your channel is one of the best things that happened this year...

Rejoice! Our lord hath returned!

HE'S BACK GUYS, HE'S BACK!!!!!

finally found I a good music to listen while walking to Rome

I took multiple levels in Bard just to play this channel for my dnd party

Btw dude - I know there's a lot of Bardcore around these days, but your has always been the best by far!

I'm a simple man I see medieval music I click

Okay, that spot where everything comes together at 1:40 gave me chills.

Memes and jokes aside, all of these medieval covers are banger!

Perfect for playing during D&D games in taverns

1:40 goosebump

RETURN OF THE KING

The Grand Master is back.

It seems so unreal to me that this wonderful person is no longer alive! 😢😢😢😢

"Thank you bard, for this slamming banger"

Yesss Cornelius we've been waiting for you, welcome back to the world of memes!

Turn the speed to 1.25, and it just adds to the amazingness :3

Alas, poor Avicii. A young minstrel taken up to Heaven far too soon.

Splendid work. I'm quite sure Avicci is cheerfully smiling in the next life over this. Initially I thought I read the title as Wake Me Up Inside from Everessence, maybe that is something interesting to hear in a Medieval tune. Please continue your great work as these songs I do enjoy during the quiet afternoon in my living room. ;)

And here I thought today was going to be a regular day with nothing exciting in it. Thank you good sir for brightening my day up!

Geez, what an exquisite rendition of this hauntingly beautiful song.

Back in the days, this is what me and the lads used to listen to

When you leave the Swedish Empire... *"Pack up your things!"*

THE RETURN OF THE BARD. With a fantastic tune this day, worthy of celebrating his return. Open thine eyes, all, and rejoice the bard's return!

Return of the prodigal son

This makes me wanna cry over avici all over again

Rouse me from my slumber.

This hits in a different but equally amazing way to the original!

The messiah of medieval covers is back!

Return of the king

When Cornelius uploads, you know you are bound to have a blessed day.

Awaken Thou - Avicii

My favorite type of notification is when you upload a new bop

This is what Avicii is playing in the Afterlife, RIP

I thank thee for blessing my ears

The King has returned.

The war was over. Now you're in a tavern with your brothers who fought bravely. You're all dancing and laughing and at the same time commemorating the lost brothers who sacrificed their lives to give their citizens a peaceful future. Beers are flowing. Maidens are working hard. You can smell these warriors' tipsy breath. The whole place is full of light and a complete mess. It was wonderful.

I now have an official new favourite song!

Why only 9 views, Cornelius revived bardcore and still he doest get much credit

this song is so perfect without the lyrics and in this medieval mood

Me and the boys were vibing to this in the tavern on new years eve.

The Royal Jester is back with a Vengeance!

This guy deserves more subs change my mind

This is so relaxing. Thank you ♡

Wake Me Up goes with everything! Even with no electricity!

For whatever reason most of these songs sound better then the original ones. Well done.

Among all the extraordinary bardcore covers developed in this period, I feel Cornelius Link's ones sound the best. They are so well made, I can actually feel very medieval just listening to them and it's amazing the care put on the instruments... I really appreciate man.

PERFECT. TAKE MY LIKE.

AVICII smiling from heaven...

It is completely possible that a talented musician was strumming this, sat under a tree on a sunny day, 400 years ago.

Thee hit different whence thee only hast one hand...

I'm so glad you're back, I was starting to miss your masterpieces.

For some reason the drums just get me so much

Finally, the all mighty Cornelius is back!

This channel literally does the best medieval style covers!

Why do this makes me sad and nostalgic?

Avicii is rocking this in Valhalla.

Sounds like it could be used in a movie or video game where the main character is travelling/exploring

Rip avicii ◢ ◤

I've been waiting for more stuff like this. This is awesome!

A specific drunk shark bring me here. Thanks for making this medival version.

Play this music once you finish the last game of you DnD campaign. Hits differently

Always glad to see these covers in my sub feed. Your melodies are so soothing.

Idk there's just something that makes these tunes soooo good! Kinda of like they were meant to be this way...

HES BACKK

The thing about Lord Cornelius is that he doesn’t just remix any popular songs, he only uses ones that somehow translate incredibly well into bard-core, as well as high quality sounds, the rhythm,the fact that the instruments don’t clash with the song at all and that’s amazing.

Try playing this at 1.25x speed

Happy to hear another lovely cover :) A melancholic nostalgia for the simpler times when this would play on the radio.
