Fantasy Music for Inspiration - Coastal Village 

Tried having this running as background music during a DnD session. Ended up having it as the accompaniment for a sea burial after a nasty fight killed a lot of the sailors we were travelling with. One of our friends sung a sailors farewell as my character managed to catch a glimpse of a ghost ship aside ours that the spirits of the dead sailors climbed onto to depart to the next life. This music really helped that moment hit home, so thanks for that.

This makes my engineering homework feel like an adventure like i'm some great inventor or a mad genius hitting the books

This playlist has to quite possibly be one of the best playlists for writing out there. Hands down.

Scenarios playing in my head: returning home after a long journey in foreign lands / reuniting with friends you thought were lost forever / starting a new voyage / running through the harbor to stop your love from departing / epic memory montage as you realize you're the chosen one.

I think this playlist is going to be like 60% responsible for my novel finally getting finished. It’s just my absolute favorite go-to for writing. Thank you for making it

Its 4 am I have an exam in 3 hours and 3 presentations at school. I woke up because of my anxiety, but i started listening to this and started raining, I started to relax and have confidence on what i have studied. Wish me luck and Thank you for reading this.

GIVING YOU MY DEPEEST GRATITUDE BLUE TURTLEEE! PLEASE CONTINUE ON MAKING STUFFS LIKE THIS BC THIS IS WHAT KEEPS A PERSON LIKE ME FORGING. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO JOINED THE PREMIERE, HAD AN UNDENIABLY AMAZING TIME TALKING AND INTERACTING WITH WARM & GREAT FELLOWS. SEE YALL THE NEXT TIME, SEE YOU BLUE TURTLE, MAY YOUR LIVES BE FILLED WITH SO MUCH BLISS ^°^ UNTIL THEN

The day after tomorrow I'll finally have a day off after a nine day work streak, and I can't wait to spend the day drinking coffee, painting with the windows open and listening to this.

Can we PLEASE get a full-length movie in theaters with THIS music, THIS main character, and THIS art style?!?!!?!? Look at this world building!!! The atmosphere!!!! This is BRILLIANT!!!!! And I heckin' love the music!

I just realized that the tower in the background looks a lot like the tower outside the tavern in the Rainy Day Piano video... Edit, checking the description of each vid... I think it's the same town, that's a nice detail

I don't think I've seen or heard of costal towns/villages in medieval fantasy before. Mostly in dense forests or mountains, so this is a nice touch! Edit: So it seems I'm not that much of a fantasy-lover as I thought. I have a lot of catching up to do from what the replies have said. Thanks for the suggestions!

Inspired! Made a port town for my D&D campaign in my time listening. These mixes are always a pleasure to listen to, and I use them when my group has a session recap. (I throw the link to the video in our group chat so credit is given ^^)

Ghostwriter here. This playlist is changing my life. It's helped me write some pretty heavy content. Thank you for sharing.

Your videos have helped me work through major writer's block, figure out important details I could never have imagined I'd think of, and write pages upon pages of my story, which I've been stuck working on for about a year now. So happy to announce you've helped me write my 3rd chapter, and I couldn't be happier! Thank you, Blue Turtle, never stop what you're doing.

These playlists give me the exact same feel I get when I play BOTW (in a good way!!) and I didn't even think that was possible! This is so beautiful and inspiring

The mist washes over me and the air is filled with the sound of lapping waves. As I reach the top of the hill I stop for a moment, staring out at the waters. A strong breeze blows, and my heart is filled with wanderlust.

i’ve literally had this running for about five or six hours now so I can work on my pirate novel. A godsend. The song always seems to change at the right time to fit the scene :)

Almost two years ago, I wrote 2/3 of a novel. Since then, I’ve completely reworked the plot and was getting back to working on it… Then I clicked on this and suddenly I am rewriting setting and characters (and therefore the plot as well) because I love this vibe so much. Thank you, but also ???? AHHHHH What have you done to me??

When listening to this I want to go to other worlds! At least by reading books, watching movies and playing games we can live more than 1 life. So see you in the tavern, with cheese and wine, and stories of our great adventures...

Good work! continue with the project!

Absolutely love the medieval themes in the recent videos! Really impressive work, keep it up! 🙏💖

Listening to this while reading Warbreaker. As a fantasy book that takes place in a more colorfull and tropical, seaside city it fits well.

The vocal accents in For The Weary kept giving me such strange familiar vibes I had to turn off the video and wrack my brain for a few minutes- and I thought of the connection I was trying to make! It reminds me an awful lot of the vocalizations in Hozier's 'In The Woods Somewhere'; something about that particular musical device really scratches an itch in my brain. Love it.

I love that the Red Cloak is a recurring character in these videos. It makes me want to know her backstory

I think I found an "easter egg" middle of the beach, there is a grass covered rock (to the left of a pyramid shaped rock and some huts) I first noticed what looks like a fish tail to the left of the rock (makes contact with the water). Then, on the surface of the rock, if you use your imagination you can make out the outline of a woman sitting, looking down and to the right. Considering this is a fantasy world, it would be a nice touch if that " fish tail" rock moved a bit, every now and then.

2:39 is the theme music i used for my longest campaign back in my hometown. Every other week for years, I would hit play and give my players the recap while that iconic pan flute riff plays. Still brings a tear to my eye, to be honest.

A year after finding this and it's still one of my absolute favorites.

This is maybe one of my favorites, I've listened to it a few hundred times over the past months. It has that feeling of awe and mystique, like the rumblings of a grand adventure without becoming to bombastic or resolute. In Plain Sight is probably my favorite, it reminds me of some of the vibes in Made in Abyss's soundtrack.

This fits perfectly for the early iron-age, Celtic mythology themed setting I run for Pathfinder. The capital of the Eisil Vale, where the river of tears meets the silver sea, is much like this place.

I think this is the ONLY playlist so far that actually helped me be 100% focused and have a clear mind. I've never written so many words without scenes and ideas jumbling around my head!

Does the selection match the prompt? Absolutely not. Is this by FAR one of the best writing playlists for fantasy that I have ever, ever found? ABSOLUTELY YES. A+ taste in music my dude please do another one.

I`ve never expected a perfect playlist in terms of fantasy. I hope that future adventure games consider these tracks in their OST, because every single one of them is outstanding. And by the way, wherever Ithya is going, I wish her a great journey. May she return home full of glory and with interesting stories to tell next to the bonfire.

This has been my favourite blue turtle video and gotten me through a lot, my go to music when im stressed. Ran my first ever DND oneshot today (a homebrew that I got under 24 hours notice for lol) and played this music. It turned out great! Everyone really loved it and I'm so happy. Thank you so much BLue Turtle.

I'm beta reading the 2nd draft of my friend's fantasy novel while sitting at a coffee shop. Perfect background music. tysm for this

I play your videos and listen while I’m writing, relaxing, washing dishes, and walking my dog. I really appreciate your creativity and digital gifts to us. 🔥🥷🏼🙏🏼

I'm taking a medieval literature course rn and this always motivates me to do my homework because I pretend to be some kind of adventurer/scribe, beautiful playlist.

Holy crap this is amazing, mostly because I started writing my own story, and it starts in a coastal village, what's shocking is that despite not seeing this until after I started, this image in the video is almost exactly what I was imagining for my location :) Thanks.

One of my absolute favorite playlists. Especially the first song and then 41:44 to the end

This is the perfect music to help me immerse myself into the world that i'm writing

Listening to this as we wrap up our two year long Ghost of Saltmarsh campaign. Gotta be honest, stirs some feelings prepping for our last session while this plays in the background.

Me and my ex-boyfriend used to make a web - comic together. I would write the scripts and he would make most of the drawings. We broke up not long after publishing the first chapter and we haven't been in touch since. While the dream of making that story might be over, I still remember I always used to put this particular playlist on every time I wrote a script (In fact, a big part of the inspiration from the story came from the style of Ithya's journey), and it brings me such a feeling of wonder, excitement, and journey like no other playlist I know. From time to time I listen to it again, it reminds both of the good times we had together and also fills me with energy to go on writing. Thank you very much Blue Turtle.

I've been following this guy for years. So unique. I'm a pro guitarist for over 50 years. I rate him as one of the best in the world. Beautiful.

the animation style for the videos on your channel are incredible!

I come back to this video every summer. Some of my favorite songs! I use it for working, summer school homework, tanning, and reading! Love it!

Listening to this as I sip on chamomile and lavender tea and read an Edger Allen Poe story. This music is really helping me out with keeping pace. Thank you Blue Turtle for all of your hard work!

This is just like I envisioned the village my rogue grew up in and for some reason that makes me emotional :')

I can't express enough how much I love your playlist/ music mixes. They bring me such calm yet I imagine an entire scene and story to each song and playlist. I've been writing my own stuff while listening to them and the words just flow. I praise you for finding such a variety of artists to collect the songs.

This is exactly like the setting of my story!! I'm so glad i stumbled upon this channel, i've been so inspired by it and my productivity is SKYROCKETING. thank you soooo much

I love this! This entire playlist has me hooked, I love writing coastal village stories. The story I'm writing now is a Hunger Games fanfiction with a new and unknown village thats made entirely of bamboo and it surrounds a beach and it has a jungle on this island. And the village itself takes place on an island on the other side of the world and it too is surrounded by the ocean like the capitol. However its filled with refugees from the second war as well as their children and grandchildren. The story itself takes place thirty years after Katniss destroyed President Snow and President Coin. And anyway the island of PTSD refugees have to start holding a hunger games due to the food shortage on the island. Its got Moana themes regarding the islander life style and how there's fish lacking in their reefs and the refugees don't think its safe to travel away from their island because a long time ago Highbottom put underwater bombs surrounding the outter parts of the ocean and these bombs coincidentially surround the island. So this unknown island is basically surrounded by a death trap and they physically cannot leave the island. Hence the growing food shortage and growing population becoming an issue. They even now have a law where a family can only have up to two children per household as a way of trying to prevent the food shortage growing scarce. And these refugees from the war thirty years ago had come together and created another hunger games. How they got to the island was one point in time, fifteen years prior to the war being over, where the bombs were deactivated but due to a technical error code, the bombs were active AGAIN. So now the people on the island were basically screwed and stuck on this island for fifteen more years on end, creating a village out of bamboo with a growing population and a slowly shortage of food because the plants arent producing enough food and the wildlife also isnt producing enough. The fish populous also happens to have migrated and shifted to the other side of the world so the people on the island are unable to provide enough fish for everyone. Again, hence the hunger games to try and lessen population. Also the hunger games isn't just for children. This particular hunger games is actually directed at the people who don't have enough life skills, meaning not only kids are picked and if anything this hunger games is different from the older hunger games. And this hunger games is made to keep the population under control as well as get rid of the "talantless rejects that can't do anything right" basically getting rid of the people who are incompetent and can't hold a job. Since its all about survival and the weakest links get chosen to fight to the death. You'd think they'd put their kids but in reality, the refugees thought instead of just sending kids off to the reaping, they should send the adults who don't have proper knowledge nor experience on survivalist skills. They also thought to send the elders into the hunger games because the elders were more likely to go "sterile" regarding the population. Its a backwards hunger games. Ultimately the winner of this islander hunger games is decided on getting a larger portion of food for that year and it's held in a dome made of bamboo and vines and wood. And unlike before, these hunger games don't have mutts but wild apex predator animals-like tigers-that are captured in the jungle and brought to the dome for the hunger games each year. My protagonist is an OC that just so happens to be the daughter of Katniss and Peeta. Their "third child" that I created even though in cannon Katniss and Peeta only had two kids. I added a third child who leaves home when shes fourteen to adventure across the land where she gets on a boat and ends up stuck on the island where she has to survive and is chosen for the hunger games fifteen years later! And all because she'd gotten fired from her job as a house builder. But it's not entirely her fault since her boss is a womanizer. But due to her being fired from her job, her name was placed in the "rejects bowl" which is the bowl used to randomly pick the twenty four tributes for the hunger games. And unlike before, they don't have districts, they just have one very large village. Its got roman empire themes to it, just like the original hunger games. Sending people to fight to the death for sport and winnings. Yknow? So Its a whole fanfic I'm writing and I honestly loved this playlist you've made since it fits the theme regarding the islander village lifestyle in my fanfic. Here's emoji's to show my appreciation! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

The visual effects in your content are simply stunning. They elevate the overall viewing experience and leave a lasting impression. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to learn from your expertise and artistic vision as a loyal supporter.🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

Shouldn't you have millions of subs? The art and music is great.

It was fun chatting with folks when this premiered, and this was wonderfully done. Thank you for doing what you do.

I just discovered this playlist today, and I have to say, it has made my long awaited DnD campaign fucking awesome. We havent played in several months, and this music hits just right. Weve been stuck sailing the ocean for weeks, weve been attacked by a rolling black and green sentient fog that dropped a slew of undead on our boat. After a hard fought battle, we lost lots of good sailors, and nearly lost one of our strongest party members. After sending off the sailors with an ocean burial, one man on a personal mission chased the fog in his dinghy, after a brief farewell. I dont know if you have any idea how perfect this music is. Thank you Blue Turtle. You have my love, and my support.

The guy (I assume) walking at first! is just perfect. I watched all in the side while working waiting for it to happend again. It didnt =( but that make me fell it all more real. LOL. His quest must be awesome!.

"This is so beautiful! Thank you for making this compilation I hope you have a wonderful day! ❤"

Doing architectural plans while listening to this makes me so much more creative! Thanks, this is an amazing playlist!!

The respite had been welcome. Even on the days when the surf rose to the cliff edges, the wind howling like a spectral zephyr over the roofs, the village had been a softness at the edge of a weary mind. It beckoned pleasant dreamy days and offered true rest. Knowing it may be the last such peace, she looked over her shoulder and took in the ships, the streets, the rocking cradle of waves in the bay from the the hill the rose up and away toward the seemingly endless plains beyond, the first hints of crags and peaks just shadows on the horizon. So be it. She would hold this place in her heart for as long as she could, thankful for the last seven days. As the cold closed in, she would shield it, like an ember waiting for a nest of kindling to settle into and blaze to sleep.

This is lovely. I am currently writing an essay on an analysis of music for my Sociology class, and this music helped me to write it all down. No stops and starts, no brain fog or lack of inspiration. This is the fastest I've written when not on a strict deadline. Thank you for providing such wonderful music to focus to!

You don't realize how huge this video in particular has helped me in my creative writing endeavors. This is easily the greatest music & ambience video ever made. I could only dream of making something as beautiful.

I'm really enjoying this project of yours, it's a really cool way to do storytelling!!

there were multiple songs in this playlist that made me stop what I was doing and close my eyes to listen

i know this is so random but... everytime i see your art it makes me wanna play a game, like, the artstyle is perfect for an adventure game

It's whimsical, emotional and a wonderful experience to listen to this. I'm shedding tears

this mix awakens so many memories I never experienced irl it's so beautiful, magical and enlightning

No matter how much time passes between hearings, this will always be at the top of my list. It’s so good. Gives me goosebumps.

i like the fully animated scenes accompanying the music, very nice

Lost someone dear to me two days ago. Trying to work and putting this on. In the ancient Orthodox faith the departure of the soul is a journey into everlasting repose, Paradise awaits... but it's a scary journey full of a danger, and hope. This music helps me remember he is not gone, and that, we'll see each other again. Memory eternal, Bob.

this is exactly the inspiration I needed to start my day. Epic playlist, epic stories, epic comments, thank you, thank you all!

Love the wind song at the end. A perfect way to end a fantasy coast music playlist!

The Wisdom of Trees 🥰🥰🥰

Loving it. I play it while writing down new words from a book I'm reading. It does not interfere with studying at all. On the contrary, it helps to stay focused. Wonderfully assembled tracks!

This is sooooooo perfect great job as always ^ ^

I like listening to this since this is the kind of life my protagonist wants to live, away from the fighting. Doesn't have to hunt monsters anymore. He can just live by the sea, maybe have a vineyard somewhere so he can make wine like he always wanted to, wake up beside his wife knowing he won't have to leave her again.

Hey, this background is heavily inspired by Durness beach in Scotland ! Went there a few years ago, it's an amazing place.

i've been planning out a coastal village for my players, this came at the perfect time for ambience. thank you!

I just found this while writing my research papers for finals and I'm in love with this beautiful fantastical art and the music of all your videos tysm for sharing your artwork

This has pushed me to finally start writing that story that's been stuck in my head since childhood

55:00 really sounds like "The Kids Don't Wanna Come Home" by Declan McKenna!

This is amazing! Thank you Blue Turtle for starting something that I've needed both mentally and for my D&D sessions. I'm already in love with the music choice and the animation story, all very intriguing and definitely the essence of fantasy. Again, this is awesome!

I would like to make my own VR MMORPG game, where I am on the coast with this music in the background. I am practicing my sword techniques as well as studying verbal and somatic spells. I hear the cool wind as my hands are surrounded with electricity. My blade glows a dim blue light. I level up more and realize I will need more materials for my spells so I stop by at the port to get some.

Ah yes, songs like this inspire me! Those songs with an Irish taste that spring up images of adventure. Definitely has given me some ideas for my book and to flesh out some parts. Wonderful playlist!

Remember that it's just a bad day, not a bad life. So take a rest and give your mind and heart peace while listening to this beautiful melodic music.

This is so good! I've been loving listening to fantasy background music like this, but it's hard to find ones that aren't like 75% Elder Scrolls (which I love but have heard too much).

Tomorrow I will use this playlist for my Pen and Paper campaign. truly a masterpiece. There a many fantasy playlists out there but blue turtle`s fantasy playlists are outstanding. Keep it up man!

Resonated with the dude in the beginning and the vibe in general. Would love to live in a community like this

Wish I owned a cafe so I could play this for everyone.

Would be perfect for my character in dnd. He is a Circle of the Land Druid, specifically a Coast Druid. Would love to play this theme as I am training or searching for friends.

EXCITED!!!! I LOVE THIS ALREADY

I've used this every day for the past week to help me work on my grad degree homework. I absolutely love this! just to remind everyone doing schoolwork listening in, you are more than a career or a degree, take time for yourselves to really live life and do things that make you happy!

Best beautiful fantasy playlist on RU-vid

This was excellent! Such good music, and I always love having some good ambient noise like the surf and wind to keep me in the environment between tracks. Thank you!

Thank you very much for your hard work. Everything you do is incredible. You're the best! 😍

King's Quest III: To Heir is Human That little coastal village from it is what this reminds me of. Beautiful. 😇

We'd been lost from Finland, our single ship. We wanted to know what the Swedes and Nords knew. We were lucky on trading along the way, and were strong even as we viewed the great island of Arthur. We knew not how to speak as the Gauls, so we stuck north. As the food ran low, we managed to sight a decent place to beach. Nobody greeted us. Deserted it seemed. A dozen boats in drydock. At least 50 edifices... homes. We had coin and else to trade... but there was nobody. Where were they? As captian, I determined there was no choice, and ordered a search for anything useful. Night fell as we had our single meal of the day. We ate leathery dried fish we found... and our last bread. Then... eerie sounds. Etheral howles. We circled round the fire, and one cried "the cursed dead come for us!" As they surrounded us, our axes ready, another sight stiffened our backs. Ghosts came, slaughtering the unlivng horde. Who can say how or why? Whatever happened here, years ago? The unliving now honored that title... and a single geist, pointed to a wall on the hill. The next day we followed it on up. There were may slaughtered at a temple of tall rocks in a circle. We found a half dug hole at this battle site, and felt we should dig further. What we found ensured our survival. We crossed the great water to a beautiful place, the medicine or magic of our finds taking us there and back... I keep a gilded hammer, now, in my home. It will go to my lineage. I slew the Naga and many pirates with it. It will protect us from the Bear of Endless Winter. I'm sure of it.

Incredible mix ! I love fantasy music, it is so soothing and inspiring. Keep it up !

Reminds me of Buckkeep Town or Bing Town from Robin Hobb’s epic fantasy books The Realm of the Elderlings: The Farseer Trilogy The Live Ship Traders Trilogy The Tawny Man Trilogy The Rainwild Chronicles The Fitz and the Fool Trilogy If you love fantasy. You’ll love these.

i love the little no face-esque (from ghibli) guy walking around in the mud

This is my favorite mix yet. I'm so glad you make these.
