BRETON BOYS 

just breton boys doing what breton boys do

Rest In Peace Ralph Cosham 1936-2014 Better known as the voice of all Breton NPCs in Oblivion.

50% resistance against magic 1000% weakness to sweetrolls

Like skooma for the ears

Only late third era kids will remember this 😍

Now this is High Rock

The Breton boys are Tamriel’s Beatles. They started a new genre, HighRock and a new music generation, Brets. Kids walking around in farmer’s clothes, bringing with them a culture of extremely overpriced wines and illusion magic parties.

I could hear Young Scrolls all my life That'd be fine with me

I'll never forget when these guys did a private performance in my Palace

"Salmo has two AI packages commanding him to take five loaves of bread to the Two Sisters Lodge at 10am and to the West Weald Inn at midday, but the packages never execute as he has no bread in his inventory and the packages are of "escort" type, meaning he doesn't actively seek any out. It's possible this bug was introduced to avoid another, more serious one: if bread is given to Salmo using the console or CS, he will walk to one of the inns as commanded, take a bite of bread, and the game will crash." When u supposed to deliver bread, but u accidentally eat it and end the universe

These guys sell out the Arena every time

Rest in peace Ralph Cosham 😢 dare I say you where just as iconic as Wes Johnson.

*Die* for Salmo's baking, *live* outside his door. Jauffre's been thinking about the duality of man.

Saw these guys at Kavatch during their “GoldCoast” tour. Man, they really burned the place down.

You like the Breton Boys? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when CHIM came out in 3E 433, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. They’ve been compared to The Adoring Fan, but I think the Breton Boys have a far more juvenile, sophomoric sense of humor. In 3E 439, the Boys released this: All My Life!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Sweetrolls". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of indulgence and the importance of desserts. It's also a personal statement about the band itself. HEY, M’AIQ!

A great metaphor of moonsugar addiction. Masterpiece.

I could listen to Young Scrolls all my life That'd be fine with me

I am listening to this song in 4th Era 201. All people listen to these days is Ragnar the Red.

come to valenwood

This really sweetened my rolls

Young Scrolls can do every genre. Truly a musical divine.

I hope breton boys makes a collab with the adoring fan.

Breton male voice actor is dead but his voice still produces masterpieces

i remember that legendary concert at the arena, it was a fundraiser to rebuild kvatch, sponsored by the sweetroll council of tamriel

Oh look at that, another boy band for the nation to cherish.

That argonian is just killing it, the first contrubution to Dagothwave and now featured by the breton boys. Looking forward for more hot stuff 🔥🔥🔥

Is this what happens if you keep Jaufre alive through the main questline?

I remember listening to these guys all night long back in my bandit days. Just me and 3 other guys just raiding caravans on the blue road, I left those days behind when the fighters guild let us beast folk in.

Other kids in my generation don't understand what good music is any more. Bands from the third era really make a quality of music you don't find any more and definitely aren't on the radio. I was born in the wrong generation :'(

2:36 Nice guitar Solo by Plays-in-Band (recently emancipated)

After the success of their debut "Breton Boys" they toured entire Tamriel, winning the hearts of the young Breton girls in the rovinces. In Elsweyr they were introduced to Moon Sugar and eventually became Skooma addicts which led to the break up of the band after a series of sex orgies and drug scandals - some say the Black Horse exaggerated the scope of the orgies, some see the Thalmor at fault whilst die-hard fans denied any critique (though some said the older works of the band were better). It wasn't until years later that the singer cleared things up in his morandum published after his suicide via a overdose of Skooma and Sleeping Tree Sap, in which he confirms that he had slept with at least 50 of his fan girls after casting a highly soothing and submissive spell on them.

The Bretish invasion was lit. Totally revolutionized music.

BY AZURA BY AZURA BY AZURA, what a masterpiece

Oh man I remember catching these guys in Skingrad back in '85

I'd be terrified to get into a feud with young scrolls because his response to my dis track would be an even more amazing dis track made from edits of my own wherein I dis myself.

Damn that oldstyle argonian knows how to play XD

"Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?" I get it now. The Breton Boys were such a hit that everyone suddenly needed to have Salmo's sweetrolls, even if it meant steeling them. The guards had to deal with so many stolen sweetrolls that they started throwing that line out there whenever someone approached them for help.

i blast this walking into school on the first day to show my dominance

KEYTARGONIAN IS BACK!

I was there! I'm an even bigger fan than the Adoring Fan.

People talk about Adoring Fan's Star, but for me, Breton Boys were my soundtrack for the 4th Era. It's a shame they had to get a replacement guitarist, even though he's really good. RIP Theranis

The Breton Boys just haven't been the same since Guitargonian went solo. Dude was the soul of the band.

I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I retired in Skingrad.

I only listen to *REAL* music!

Let me guess, someone stole your sweet roll...

The idea of super famous rock stars who dress and look like ordinary farmers is just endlessly amusing to me.

This is actually, unironically, really good

I just wanna say that these songs are way above "meme level". I actually enjoy them musically. Kudos for being such a talented composer. :)

It warms my heart to see Oblivion videos and songs being made in 2018. I will eat sweetrolls all my life.

"and by the divines, I felt just like the count" this just caught my mood on

It is rumored that Salmo's bakery now called The Dancing Breton because of a legend of an old Breton male that always dancing in front of the store every morning.

Erection Lvl: TES VI Trailer

This is going straight to the top of the Bard’s College Magazine Top 100

Love the music and love that special guest coming in to play the guitar. That argonian is legendary.

Ah yes, I remember it well. They were the early days of the fourth era you see. The septim bloodline and the amulet of kings were gone, and people were looking for something to believe in, something to belong to. Jauffre had been Grandmaster of the Blades, before founding the Breton Boys, you know? Yes. I suspect even in his music he sought to serve the empire. Kids nowadays think this kind of music is old. They listen to modern songs like Ragnar the Red, that have no reason to them, and scorn at the 'old songs'. But they fail to understand the meaning woven into the sound. Hold guards mock you, asking if someone stole your sweetroll, because they don't mean what that meant to us. Sweetrolls isn't just a song about sweetrolls. Perhaps you just had to be there, when the Oblivion gates were opening, and Mehrunes Dagon waddled his way through the streets of the Imperial City. Back in those days, we all wanted some of Salmo's Sweetrolls. Maybe you just had to be there for yourself...

Never quit

There is something quite beautiful about the juxtaposistion of the slightly sombre, nostalgic feel of the music with the uplifting nature of the lyrics. This man has seen some things, been through some shit. But in the end he found his one true love, the sweetroll.

I’m playing Oblivion and am actually at Skingrad right now when I saw this recommended in my feed. A nostalgic song with a touch of sadness knowing Ralph passed. RIP to an Oblivion essential. ❤️

Experimental Breton noise rock needs to make a comeback imo.

"Fimmion hungry. Sweetroll for Fimmion. Pants for you."

I love how Young Scrolls expresses the feeling of trying drug for the first time and discovering a sense of hapiness you couldn't have experienced before, something that erases anything else

That argonian guitar solo is life

0% swearing 0% nudity 0% violence Just 100% good music

I’ve been seeing a lot of debate lately about whether Theranis, the original guitarist of the Breton Boys, would have fit this song and the band as a whole better had he not been let go right before the Breton Boys hit the studio to record the now legendary “All My Life” album that catapulted them to stardom. What people seem to ignore is that by that point Theranis’ Skooma addiction had reached its worst point. He could barely stay conscious for a show, and when he did manage to keep himself together, he just didn’t perform like he did when the band started. He forgot the most important lead parts for the songs people wanted to hear the most. He was known to consistently flub the intro to “Kvatch Me If You Can” almost every night, and if you can’t nail a guitar intro solo _you wrote_ then you’re a lost cause. Look, Theranis was _good,_ but Guitargonian (formerly Keytargonian, formerly Plays-In-Band) is objectively a better player both in regard to technical aptitude and musical creativity. Theranis was the right Imperial for the right time, but a little Hist sap was what the band needed to evolve from just another tavern band into the stadium giants they were at their peak. Even now in their undead form they sound splendid, even if their heavier direction since “Sundas With Serana” isn’t for everyone. Personally I think their sound is ethereally haunting nowadays, and well worth the risk of contracting vampirism to see them live. You haven’t lived until you’ve witnessed Jauffre put his thu’um lessons with the Last Dragonborn to good use by using the one shout he was able to master to augment his voice and summon forth vocal tones so powerful and clear that just for a moment you could swear Martin Septim was standing right next to him, with Talos himself on his other side.

*Three Bretons singing about sweet rolls in the middle of arena* _What would be next?_ :D

That Aragonian Guitar Solo…

He can eat sweetrolls all his life, but if that's all he eats, it'll be a short one. I mean, like Tamriel really needs another washed up entertainer! First Crassius Curo rips off an ancient story passed down through ancient tradition and publishes it as his own work. Then Tarvus Beleth has to go and get sick just before his stand out role in *The Horrors of Castle Xyr* and they replace him with a crap actor who can't even remember his lines. He was such a bad actor, I don't blame that audience member attacking him mid-play for it. Then Marcel Maurard has to go and make the entire Tamriellic acting world look bad by being a whinging layabout, loitering, and begging people for work. Then Salomon Geonette goes and upsets his fans by promising a symphony and never delivering. And then Thaedil has to go and be super insecure all the time, despite her obvious skill as a genuinely good juggler. And then The Grey Prince has to go and *purposely lose an arena match?* I mean, seriously! What was that all about? I was in the audience for that one, and I have no clue what happened. It's almost like he wanted to die. And nowadays, I'm hearing rumors that there's a psycho up in Skyrim giving jesters a bad name as well. It's not like Skyrim's already butchered the entertainment world to death. Their so called "bards" just go hunting for antique instruments in crypts all the time. What a joke! I mean, I've been a fan of the Breton Boys since 3E427. Sure, their style has changed over time, but they're still committed to their craft. And even though they've gone more mainstream over the past couple of albums, they're still legitimately good. I'm just worried about this sweets-based nihilistic attitude they seemed to have developed. Yeah, it's only sweetrolls now. But before you know it they'll be popping up to Uncle Sweetshare's for some "innocent" moonsugar fix, and next thing you know they'll wind up dead of an overdose in some Bravil skooma den.

The dude on the keyboard always gets me at the start 😂

The effect of good food for a person who had a hard day at work or just a bad day since morning has so much more impact than most of us realize. It's that one saving grace that makes you get back on your feet and carry on the remaining tasks that you gotta do. now I wanna get some sweet rolls lol

Elder Scrolls VI, but you have a Dwemer Artifact that pumps these bad boys out while you're walking along. There is no soundtrack but youngscrolls on repeat. Do it Godd.

What a treat.

I remember this classic from the 80’s

I went to this show! I actually got to go back stage and meet the band after and my god these guys are amazing! None of them mentioned money or skooma just men tryna make good soulful music, man the 3rd Era was fucking lit

I remember seeing these guys when they toured with The Cure. Amazing show!

This was the fastest I've ever clicked on a video

Such obvious product placement! But Salmo´s is just the best!

Fun fact : if bread is given to Salmo using the console or CS, he will walk to one of the inns as commanded, take a bite of bread, and the game will crash.

I love the fact that Jauffre plays bass on a bassless song.

there's something so simultaneously joyous and melancholy about the refrain, it really fucking nails something and i'm not entirely sure what. that it's sung by a bald old dude is also perfect.

So sad that the Breton boys broke up after the oblivion crisis truly underrated musicians

I miss hearing this kind of music in taverns and inns, but now this generation only plays The Dragonborn Comes and Ragnar the Red I was born in the wrong Era

They opened for Led Zenithar back in the day. Breton Boys blew them off the stage ... literally ... with an "Arctic Blow" spell

I was always more of fan of the rolling soul gems my self but I got to admit this song is still great and shows why this band was at the Center of the Breton invasion in the 3rd era, honestly I don’t think we will ever experience another golden age of music like that anytime soon.

Sponsored by Salmo The Baker's House

would be cool if Youngscrolls made a album for Breton Boys

i wish young scrolls made more rock stuff, his rap tracks just don't compare

Guitargonian was actually discovered by the Breton Boys a few years before, he had always loved music but his parents could never afford to give him lessons, seeing as they were low class citizens. Not-so-Fun fact, his great great grandmother was one of the last Enslaved Argonians in Morrowind.

I have a sordid past. The Dark Brotherhood, The Thieves Guild, The Mythic Dawn. I was a killer, and a thief. Damn good at it, too. Eventually, I made enough gold to start running my own skooma across the border from Elsweyr into Cyrodiil. I was always interested in Magicka, and Alchemy fascinated me most of all. I'd learned how to make poisons, being a spy and all, but learning how to cook skooma was a blind passion. No, obsession. Eventually, my product was the purest, strongest skooma in the Empire, and was represented in almost every major city on the continent of Tamriel. I was even sending my own ships to Akavir to trade skooma for their many exotic wares. But then I broke the first rule of skooma cooking and running. "Never pick up a pipe, and join the customer." From there things happened quickly. My one or two pipe a day habit I'd had since I was a teenager quickly became a 24/7 need. Eventually, I was spending the millions I had made on what became my only friend, my only love, my only joy. What had once been a small empire became me on the street, cold, alone, destitute. I thought I'd die with the pipe in my mouth. Through it all, Breton Boys "Sweetrolls" was there. I remember the first time I'd heard it, I was in Bravil on some business, it was playing in the skooma den as I was negotiating my first sale on behalf of the Guild. I asked what it was, the Den's owner was gracious enough to tell me, I found the album All My Life! the next day in the market. It was my new soundtrack. Whenever it was time to party, there it was, "Sweetrolls". Sweetrolls was there for every sack of gold, every pouch of resin, every completed contract. Even when I was laying in the Waterfront Gutter, smoking the last of my skooma, not knowing where my next meal would come from. Maybe it was just the skooma, but I remember the song told me, "Go to Skingrad." I had nothing but the clothes on my back, and nothing to lose. I went to Skingrad. I don't know what possessed me to go into the chapel. I sat there for hours. Usually silent, sometimes thinking, sometimes crying. Hell, I even decided to pray. First prayer I'd said to the Divines since I couldn't even tell you. When I opened my eyes, the priest was standing there, with a bowl of soup and some bread. I wept. I wept. I realized it's not the money we make that makes us. It's the lives we touch. And it hit me. How many lives had I destroyed? How many of my customers had I killed? It was then, I had decided to learn Restoration magic, and become a healer. Do I still use skooma? Of course. But I'm never going to cook again. And I'm going to wander, finding those lost to the sugar like I was, and help them like the priest helped me. I still listen to "Sweetrolls", it was the soundtrack of my rise, my downfall, my salvation. I could eat sweetrolls all my life, that'd be fine with me. Blessings of the Nine upon ye.

bro when he said *"I could EAT SWEET rolls ALL my LIFE"* i felt that

2:37 guitar solo gives you chills

This is legitimately better than 90 percent of top 40 the last 10 years.

Best line “that’d be fine with me”

Trully the pinnacle of Breton-rock music genre.

I remember hearing this for the first time at the HighRockgar music fest, skooma and plenty of lock fiddling took place that weekend

An honestly powerful message about addiction combined with this masterwork of audio editing. Beautiful

Those were the days! Back in cyrodiil it was straight up fire with those parties! Star, Dagothwave, Breton boys, All the good tunes, Now all my friends died years ago in the great war, These are sad times

Jauffre was later found dead, having entered a diabetic coma in his home in Skingrad.

i could listen to this all my life that'd be fine with me

*_You're doing God's work._*

youve traped my soul oh wait wrong song
