Jak o' the Shadows | The Wheel of Time | Cover 

Blood and ASHES this is brilliant!!!!

Also, thanks for sharing it today, on the anniversary of Jordan’s passing

@@RobChristianson Oh wow, I didn't realize that. ❤️

Karyn Narg and I have been sharing this song on #TwitterOfTime today. (I’m the Weekly Wheel News)

@@RobChristianson Thanks so much - I am so glad you like it!

Sounds perfect.

I didn't think it was possible to get goosebumps from reading a comment... Damn... 😅

Dude, you gave me chills

And, now, imagine the *whole* army singing this while riding to battle.

Just beautiful! I teared up! Thank uou.

Lord Talmanes is easily one of my favorite characters in the books

Me too

I would love to see you in the show !!!

Absolutely no! This is a slow cover. Show version should be more energetic, like a shanty. Cover is great tho!

Narg love because Narg smart!

@@alperen9313 If an upbeat, traditional, version is used early in the series it would provide an opportunity for this version to add an emotional weight to a scene later on. For example, Mat and the red arms fighting their way through the townsfolk of Hinderstap.

@@d0nn13h4yd3n Yes, that I can agree! It would be good, especially "To Dance With Jak o' The Shadows" part. Nalesean...

When you write about The Last Battle, it really should be capitalized!!!

This song is how they should sing the night before battle,, or right after the battle to remember the dead and to remind themselves that they survived another dance. The Reflection of Sound version is for when they are drunk after a week or so of marching, probably bored and in need of a cheery song. I prefer this version, it's the melencholic feeling of loss and hope that feels just right before the Last Battle

Thanks so much for suggesting it! Loving the series!

How about “I’m down at the bottom of the well” or “tinker in the kitchen”?

@JimmyB I don't WANT THIS SONG TO BE IN THE SHOW..... not until someone picks up the show and doesn't try to rewrite the story.

I was also imagining it a little differently. More like a sea shanty in my head than a bardic tune.

this is only a cover. this is where she based it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f-8jkmZIzBI.html . She covered it really well though!

@@reeselawson3686 you might prefer the Reflection of Sound version in that case

Same I am in awe. 😳

you should check out the link in the desc of the video - that version much more baudy.

Oh I imagined it like this. It's about death and facing death right

Check out Reflection of Sound. He has amazing WoT music.

yeah doesn’t Mat specifically mention how it sounded off because it was so upbeat while it talked about death

I'm really hoping it will be good

@@KarynBardSongs It will be good. The showrunner is a long term fan. The writers are fans. Brandon and Harriet are exec-producers. Come join #TwitterOfTime :)

@@thematcauthon4696 Oh wow, that's fantastic! I have not looked at anything at all related to WoT online because I am worried about accidentally seeing spoilers, haha. I am on book 6 currently.

Karyn We are spoilery, but we also have big tags for #FirstWoTReader and similar things, trust me when I say, you’d be more than welcome. You’ll find me there as @tylinstoy, and we would love you as part of our amazing family :)

Yeah, I wouldn't count on it. It will be an ok show but it for sure won't be the WoT story that we all grew up on.

Lise looked over the rolling hills, the smoke biting in the chill of the evening air. The emptiness in her mind pushed out the despair that gnawed at her, as she focussed on the still form on the pyre of birch and ash wood. Wrapped in his gray cloak and covered with the banner of the red hand as he would have wanted She remembered their goodbye, his lively smile and the light bouncing off his curls when he had lifted her up and kissed her passionately. He had promised, with such confidence, that he would return, that he would be a hero. He did return. And he was a hero. The small group of young men behind her were silent, for once in their lives. Many of them were badly hurt, barely standing upright, but all had insisted on being here. They'd brought him back to her, they made sure he could keep his promise. She was grateful for their presence. Softly, with a tremor in her voice, she started to sing: "We'll drink the wine til the cup is dry..." She heard a choked sound from behind her, as they recognised the song they had so boisterously sung in the tavern only days prior. They joined in with her, adding their hoarse, rough voices to hers as she stepped forward with the torch in her hand. The flames caught quickly in the dry wood and the small chorus of voices rose skyward with the sparks, to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

@@fardareismai4495 wow this was amazing

Cut that shit out, man, I don't wanna cry today.

@@kenabbott8585 too late bro, this hit me in the feels

Thanks! Yes, it definitely would be more rowdy and faster while sung by the soldiers, but I kind of imagined this version for a bard who maybe heard the song from the soldiers and replayed it in their style. The original version by Nick Masters is definitely more in that style and linked in the description if you are interested!

I just fell in love again

I always felt like it would be sung boisterously and have a faster tempo, but this was almost the exact same tune I had in mind when I read the series. It's a soldier's drinking song.
