Celtic Fantasy Music - The Lonely Road 

Usage rights - please read: I’m posting the usage rights and important information about my music right here in a comment on every new video so that they’re easily accessible to everyone. =) USAGE: If your project (any project at all, movie, photography, websites, live shows etc.) is non-commercial, which means it doesn't earn you any money, then you can use my music for free. Only given credits are necessary, that's the only condition. Credits would be totally fine as a small text in the movie, website etc. written "Music by Adrian von Ziegler". In live shows and other projects where including a text would be difficult, an oral mention would suffice as well. =) On RU-vid and twitch you can also use my music for free even if you monetize your videos by the way! ANY school projects have automatic free permission to use my music, no license payment is required. If the project is commercial, meaning it makes money in any way (except RU-vid and twitch, see above), you would have to buy a license for the music you want to use. The license payment would be small in almost all cases except for big budget productions. It would be a one-time payment, so you can use the music you bought forever in that project. It does not give you any rights over the music however, so remixing the music, re-selling it etc. is not allowed. Giving credits is also necessary in commercial projects. Please note that "for free" only applies to the usage license. Music is my full-time job and is where 100% of my earnings come from. So no matter what you use my music for, whether it's commercial or non-commercial use, I appreciate that you purchase the music instead of downloading it for free. Many people misunderstand this part so I need to clear this up. I love making music, but if everyone would just get it for free I would not be able to pay rent, so please understand. It was always my dream to make enough money to survive with music being my only job, and that is only possible because of people who go and buy that music. Remixing, sampling and other forms of altering the original song into a new piece of music is also generally not allowed unless the remix is 100% non-commercial and labelled with the original title and author of the song (me). Adding bird noises, nature sounds or similar things are allowed. Nightcore alterations are also allowed while non-commercial and labelled with original title and author (Google "Nightcore" in case of confusion). So if your project is non-commercial or a RU-vid project, just give credits and there is nothing holding you back from using my songs. ANY song you want. =) If it's commercial stuff just write me a personal message or an email at adrianvonziegler@gmx.ch and inform me about the scale and details of the project and we'll make a deal. REQUESTED MUSIC: I have recently made a very good experience with collaborating with other artists and am now - carefully - open to requests. Please note before sending me a request that any agreement will have to assure me a high level of control and independence over the composing process and certain copy- and intellectual rights over any composition that has been created on request (this entails for example that I can still upload and sell any music that I composed for a given project). Important: I do not allow my music to be used in any project that has a clear political, racist or discriminatory message or is pornographic. By that I mean anything that goes from direct political, racist or discriminatory videos or underlining speeches with my music, onto remixing my melodies into a song that has lyrics with clear political, racist or discriminatory message and similar things that clearly promote these things. Same goes for explicit pornography. Media with nude art is allowed, if not pornographic in nature and purpose. I hope you're having an awesome day, and thanks a lot for being interested in my music! =)

Better the lonely road than the wrong road

"Not all who wander are lost" J.R.R Tolkien

I lost my husband of 30 years. This music describes my grief journey perfectly and comforts me.

Now I want to go back to my old fantasy novel and continue writing.

"It's a lonely road, the warrior's path..."

This song makes me cry over all the frustration my life has been...

i feel misty mountains call me..

But it's not a lonely road- It's a road surrounded by life and beauty. 😊💚

Sometimes,if you are very fortunate, a real love comes into your world, once in a lifetime; and sometimes, the person left behind can never love another.

I often listen to your music when I go to sleep, always hoping that some of its soul will show up in my dreams and make them as beautiful as your songs.

I breathe deeply, inhaling the serene air, a smile on my face as I listen to the absence. The absence that I yearned for all my life: rustling leaves, singing birds and the soft breeze; unmarred by engines or people. I travel the lonely road, yes, but I relish each step. - Something I came up with while listening to it

I don't want to say too much about this song, let your mind wander free.^^ It was born from the middle part of "Kings of Yore", which is an old song of mine and for Carina and me one of our favourite melodies that I made. You can get the song here, together with all my other music, the song number is 309: adrianvonziegler.bandcamp.com/album/the-complete-discography You can also support me and my music directly on Patreon if you wish: www.patreon.com/AdrianvonZiegler

It doesn't matter how hard and lonely your road is, if this is your road then go to the end

You just made me travel far, far away on my horse, riding across green prairies and silent woods. Thank you very much.

So peaceful...I could fall asleep to this 😊

“I gave you all I had. I did.” -Arthur Morgan

It's 2 am and I'm listening to this piece of art and I pray and hope that it will appear in my dreams to take me away from this tired world we live in, to carry me to the world to which I belong, there where my heart not just beating but dancing to the rhythm of something immortal and sacred where my spirit not just surviving but blossoming into connection and meaning, Hope everyone get to the point where he is feeling turly alive .♡

i love Celtic Fantasy Music

This fits my DnD character perfectly. (He's kinda inspired by ranger's apprentice, like my profile pic) Lonely, searching for his Mom and Dad, wherever they are... On the long trail looking for belonging in a world he doesn't fit in.

I imagine a solemn warrior who vowed to someone dear that he lost many years ago and with a sword on his back, he travelled the path towards the edge of the world called "The Lonely Road"

it's beautiful but lonely. I can feel the loneliness.this is one of the best l have listened to

I am on my road which brings me to my goal. On my way, I cross a lot of mountains, rivers and beautiful landscape.

Gosh the music, the picture, the emotion. Why cant there be anywhere that looks like that? Why cant we adventure like people used to? What I wouldnt guve to ride my horse on a trail like that and watch the country side. So much development of cities and such has taken that magic away from the most simple landscapes.

This is probably my FAVORITE song of yours and I'm a huge fan. The background picture also fits in perfectly well! I love playing your music while reading fantasy books like Tolkien's. You are my favorite composer and I'd like to thank you for sharing your beautiful masterpieces with the world.

Perfect peaceful music for exploration and connecting with yourself. Such a heartfelt piece of music.

My dear Adrian, I want to thank you very deeply for being the wonderful being that you are, because the inspiration you have in your music is so sublime, it is not of this world and because you have touched the deepest fibers of my soul with the beauty that your music has. When I listen to it, it takes me back to my very remote past bringing me memories of my yesterday. Memories that not even I knew, that were not of this life. I was impressed and since then, I listen to your beloved music that fills me with the magic of dreams lived and experiences of the spirit in the highest. Thank you with all my heart. Have a very fraternal hug from Mexico. Bleesings

Would have loved to have this song as background in Skyrim! Amazing work Adrian, so peaceful and deep. Goes very well with the snow falling outside :) You are still one of my biggest inspirations after all these years! Thank you!

To this day, this is still my favorite song by Mr. VonZiegler. A classic. It reminds me of SO many good fantasy and fiction novels. More importantly, it reminds me of the road we all take. I know I've taken mine. Anyone in the world can relate to the figure riding on the horse. What a masterpiece!

Honestly this picture is enough for taking me to a fantasy journey and no words I have for feel of this music ..best

It gives me chills every time those vocals come in at 1:08. Such a beautifully breathtaking song that I always find myself coming back to again and again. Please never stop bringing us these pieces of heaven for us to listen to.

This feels like a man who has done so much for everyone with no regrets but no one needs him anymore

There's no conflict, no fear, no war, no hate, and no anger. There is only peace. We rarely get that nowadays. This picture and this song combined remind me there is such a thing as heaven on earth, but it's up to us to find it for ourselves. I hope one day I do...

I don't think I've ever loved a piece as much as I love this it's just all sorts of calming

*You are a talented artist. Appreciate your gift*

The gods blessed you with the talent to spark dreams in others with your music. Been listening to you for years now... 🍺

The kind of song that is perfect when hiking alone, relaxing, while I'm in the woods or for a D&D session. You have all my respect

Feelings of nostalgia, longing and melancholy are washing over me

I don’t know why but every time I hear this I just want to be in that same landscape, riding a horse and listen to the music while looking over the trees and moutains

Im Irish but I have lots of Scottish blood in me and I think I have some Nordic blood too. Nothing like Celtic music. So tranquil, beautiful and majestic.

This melody... many times I'd keep repeating it on your song Kings of Yore... I never thought you'd make a full song with it, so hearing the first notes made me feel so excited, happy, shocked, and calm at the same time xD One day I would like to travel the world, and this is one of the many melodies of yours I will have with me as I wander. Thank you so much for making such amazing music :)

"Meh, I'll take sitting down over standing any day."

Indeed makes me feel lonely....😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 You're a talented musician...thanks for sharing your music...🧡🧡🧡

If you walk through a forest and climb on the top of the mountain, it is ideal to sit in a tree, feel the breeze while these notes sound, but it is inevitable to feel nostalgic and that the tears escape from your eyes, a perfect way to describe life on a lonely road ...

i go for one week without my phone suddenly adrian and brunuhville upload im overwhelmed

I wish this was in the Hobbit. What a stunning composition. Very relaxing to listen to on a late Friday evening. Hats off to you. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work.

Wow, absolutely beautiful song. This one really moved me, I honestly think it’s some of your best work. Thank you so much Adrian, your music really helps me to contemplate life and find peace within myself.

Your music is truly beautiful. It takes one to another time and place. Thank you for sharing your gift 🙏

Makes me want to continue my artwork again. Had no inspiration until I heard this music. Well done

It,s always better to make the journey of life alone than in wrong company. ¡Thanks a lot for such a beautiful music, Adrian!.

your music will never get old

This is one of the most relaxing, peaceful and inspirational music I ever heard I m so happy I found it

This is very beautiful indeed! Thank you so much for composing and sharing this great music! All the best, much respect, plenty of success in the future, and keep up the fantastic work! Best regards from Suceava, Romania, in the historical region of Bukovina, where there have also been ancient Celts in the past! Hats off, maestro!

I'm speechless... so beautiful! The art is also amazing ♥

As someone whose lost when it comes to my feelings I can enjoy feeling the melancholy of this tune. Puts my heart at ease, very nice.

I like the sound of the wind on the trees, it gives the feeling of being there, very relaxing

Fell in love instantly 🌷🍂

Very, very beautiful, just music for the soul.Thanks!

The road goes ever ever on. Beautiful maestro. Simply beautiful

These Celtic are off the hook thank you so much I am traveling that lonely road after 42 years of marriage in Alabama.

The picture remindes me of L.O.T.R Aragorn Lonely Road.

Adrian, tu es une référence ! Continues tes chefs d’œuvres, ne t’arrêtes jamais :)

This song is so beautiful, I can't even describe what I feel and imagine at the same time, music like this takes me on a journey to another world full of fantasy. I love your music Adrian, I can't imagine my life without it

Awesome culture celtic, love it !!! Especially the music. always as I walk through the mountains and forests of wales, scotland and the lake distric, i listen to this kind of music. Thanks Adrian von Ziegler for all your songs.

Awesome stuff again :) Love the melody along with the soft wind noise in the background. And awesome harmonies as usual :) Great music, Adrian!

Comme d'habitude, magnifique !/ As always, amazing!

So peaceful and nostalgic. I have tears near my eyes when i write it. Another wonderful music by Adrian Von Ziegler

Thank you Adrian. I love this song. Your songs never fail to bring me joy and I'm always so happy when I see you've written a new one.

Wonderful music

Adrian, this is truly beautiful and ethereal

Just think how depressively lonley it must feel only you your horse and the outsanding beauty of the pure and untouched wilderness at every step...

There is nothing I enjoy more than reading some good fantasy books such as The Name of the Wind while listening to your music. It makes every scene alive, figures floating in front of me and dialogues being whispered in my ears. Thank you so much for this.

While listening to this I just want to buy a horse climb it and go on a journey

I feel Sovngarde calling me

A ballad about some past golden days, that the weary traveller keeps in his heart to warm it up and to remember that the light comes from the inside... and so he can keep going. Thank you so much!

Beautiful music👌🏽 The background reminds me of Ranger's apprentice 🌳🏹

This reminds me of a time that means mostly sad, for me at least. I know this is gonna be stupid, but I might as well get this off of my chest. I would always play online games, mostly role-play games when I was a little because I always thought it would be fun, and I could meet alot of more people that way. Then one day, I met someone while doing a role-play. We never saw each other IRL, but it felt like I met someone who actually cares for me, whether its an RP or not. We trusted each-other so much, we even told our real names to each-other. Her name was--- uh, I'm not sure if she still wants to keep it personal... anyway, We both liked Undertale, so we went to there. It felt like I grew up with her, because we were with each-other for years, probably 3 or 4. But then one day... her account got stolen. I panicked and panicked, worrying if I may never meet her again. The good side is that she remembered my username and attempted to add me. But my " friend " Trolled me and stole my account. I begged him as best I could to give it back, but he refused and laughed at me. And yes, I did pay him back. Now I had to make a new account, however... because her and my account were stolen, we couldn't get a hold of each-other at all. I felt so down. I stayed away from my siblings, I didn't talk in school, I stayed in my room, and... felt like I would never see someone as nice as her. I tried to find her, but that's like searching the entire world for her. Just one person out of 7 billion. For 2 years, I tried. But nothing came up. I had a voice in my head saying, " Yea, She's not gonna find you. '" I still tried... but nothing. Now, the game we RP in is like a trip down memory lane. I still feel like she's looking for me, an I'm looking for her. But there is some doubt in me like as if I should give up. The voice in my head keeps saying, " She grew out of this " or " She gave up " or " There is no possible way. " Now I listen to this and think, " I'm on both the wrong and the lonely road. " but I don't fully think that. Did or was I doing the right thing? Am I giving up too? I'm not sure. Sometimes I ask that to myself too much. I still think about her to this day. She meant alot to me.

perfect witcher 3 soundtrack amazing brother

All of us relate to this song very differently....with loss, with memories, with pain or fantasy....Adrian comforts and combines everyone together.

And yet another, beautiful song that makes my heart flutter, and allows my mind to escape to a far away place. Thank you 💕

I WOULD NOT MIND TO TRAVEL THAT ROAD.....:)

Oh my god this is so wonderful. I feel as if this is from the Hobbit.

This is both amazing and thought provoking at the same time. You're music will always be amazing Adrian!

Adrian. Thank you for your music. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's thank to you and your beautiful music that I've begun to write, and now, years later, I'm finally close to finish my first book. You don't know how much it means to me. I've been listening to your music for so many years... You truly know how to touch someone's heart. And... I don't know what to say. I just wish that no matter where you are, you know what a beautiful person you are, and that many people are grateful for who you are. Thank you, Adrian.

I'm in love with that song.. it's just perfect. Greetings from Brazil !!!

So nice 😍 loved it ❤

The man you can't track down. Once he gets familiar, he's gone without a trace.

5 years ago still this is a good composition! Thank you Adrian.

Ступая вперед, оставляя позади нечто желанное, но уже недосягаемое, он приближался к неизвестному, и сердце его трепетало и было наполнено, чувством невосполнимой утраты и благодарности за ушедшее... Одинокий путник жаждал покоя, понимая, что его он не найдет никогда...

OMG .... I LIKE IT

The perfect song to listen while relaxing outside in nature, drinking a cold beer and think about everything and nothing ♥

I can't tell you how much I love this song and the visual you chose for its cover. It's beautiful and inspires me so much...

this took me places :)

BIG FAN FROM IRAN , LOVE UR MUSIC !

Listening to this while writing the first scenes starring two of the main characters in my fantasy novel, it sets the tone really well, but isn't loud or aggressive enough to be any sort of distraction. A true masterpiece to listen to when you need to overcome some writer's block

Each time i listen to your music i get goosebumps. Very beautiful it takes me to my fantasy world. Your music is a portal to our perfect Celtic fantasy world.

Feels like I'm playing Witcher 3 again..... 😮

To the one who disliked : don't you feel lonely in this world ?

Thank you, for making music that helps me bring out the feeling in a scene. Sometimes mere words cannot convey what I need to write, it's too far away or too close. Too painful or too powerful. Either way, I can find the words hiding behind your melodies, like they're just waiting for me. Thank you, for bringing such beauty to the world.

This music has made playing wow a lot more immersive.
