Malukah - Tale of the Tongues - Skyrim Cover 

10 years later, this never gets old. Especially the bridge split into six vocals still brings tears. Definitely my fave.

If Besheda is willing to add real people to Elder Scrolls, than Malukah should really be a NPC in the next game.

I don't know if you read these, but I wanted to say it anyway. I have a 2-year-old son at home. When he was a small baby, I would rock him to sleep with music from Skyrim. I have tried many songs at this age as a lullaby. This is his favorite, and its not close. He asks for 'Malukah! Dragons!' before bed. I just wanted you to know that.

Cousins are out fighting dragons, and what do I get? Quarantined...

She definitely graduated from the Bards college in Solitude

"If Alduin's eternal, then eternity's done" is such a good line.

Lyrics :) Alduin's wings, they did darken the sky. His roar fury's fire and his scales sharpened scythes. Men ran and they cowered and they fought and they died. They burned and they bled as they issued their cries. Dovahkiin Dovahkiin naal ok zin los vahriin Wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal Ahrk fin norok paal graan fod nust hon zindro zaan Dovahkiin fah hin kogaan mu draal We need saviors to free us from Alduin's rage. Heroes on the field of this new war to wage. And if Alduin wins man is gone from this world. Lost in the shadow of the black wings unfurled. But then came the Tongues on that terrible day. Steadfast as winter, they entered the fray. And all heard the music of Alduin's doom. The sweet song of Skyrim, sky-shattering Thu'um. And so the Tongues freed us from Alduin's rage. Gave the gift of the Voice, ushered in a new Age. If Alduin is eternal, then eternity's done. For his story is over and the dragons... are gone. And so the Tongues freed us from Alduin's rage. Gave the gift of the Voice, ushered in a new Age. If Alduin is eternal, then eternity's done. For his story is over and the dragons... are gone.

Listening in 2020. What I really love was "then came the Tongues" part as well as the Sovngarde theme. Gives me goosebumps even after 5 repeats

Got to thinking... maybe I'm the Dragonborn, and I just don't know it yet

I want a Malukah easter egg in The Elder Scrolls 6 with a reference to Skyrim

Your mastery of "the way of the voice" is astonishing. I've heard tales, but to see it for myself.

Well, I have to admit this. I knew Nothing of The Elder Scrolls, or of Skyrim. During the quarantine I was browsing through RU-vid and cane across some of Malukah's videos and recordings. I now have the very first gaming system I have ever owned in my life, and one game .. The Elder Scrolls V SKYRIM. (My grandson gave me his old gaming system and the game.) Malukah, your voice is so very lovely, and these songs are so mesmerizing, that I sought out the origins of this music!

" And the dragons are gone." The hell they are! I can't go to five locations, without one burning or freezing my ass off! It's like open season on asses, or worse.

Clearly an Imperial. No mistaking that Voice of the Emperor. "Calms nearby people for 60 seconds." (Voice of the Emperor is a Greater Power possessed by all Imperials, which allows them once a day to cast a powerful Pacify effect on all NPC targets within a 75 ft radius.) (PS: This is by far the most powerful Pacify effect available, as it will work against enemies up to level 99, which is higher than any found in the game.)

I'm still listening to this at this year 2020 even with the corona outbreak Malukah 😊😊😊

“Aw shit, here we go again.” “Hey you you’re finally awake”

your voice could put alduin to sleep

Alduin's wings, they did darken the sky. His roar fury's fire, and his scales sharpened scythes. Men ran and they cowered, and they fought and they died. They burned and they bled, as they issued their cries. Dovahkiin! Dovahkiin! Naal ok zin los vahrii wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal, ahrk fin norok paal graan Fod nust hon zindro zaan. Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal. We need saviors to free us, from Alduin's rage. Heroes on the field, of this new war to wage. And if Alduin wins, man is gone from this world. Lost in the shadow, of the black wings unfurled. But then came the Tongues, on that terrible day. Steadfast as winter, they entered the fray. And all heard the music, of Alduin's doom. The sweet song of Skyrim, sky-shattering Thu'um. And so the Tongues freed us, from Alduin's rage. Gave the gift of the Voice, ushered in a new Age. If Alduin is eternal, then eternity's done. For his story is over and the dragons are... gone.

Wow this is good, that part gave me shivers! so deep!'' ''Dovahkiin Dovahkiin naal ok zin los vahriin Wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal Ahrk fin norok paal graan fod nust hon zindro zaan Dovahkiin fah hin kogaan mu draal''

"Skyrims sky shatering thuum." still gives me chills

I like how she put the Sovngarde chant in as well. I like that song

Bethesda, use her for the Elder Scrolls Six!

RU-vid recommended this to me, so here I am watching once again. Still an amazing song

i think this song perfectly captures the feeling I got while playing Skyrim for the first time. No other game has made me feel that way again. The epicness and beauty is incomparable to me. I mean: "But then came the Tongues on that terrible day. Steadfast as winter, they entered the fray. And all heard the music of Alduin's doom, The sweet song of Skyrim, sky-shattering Thu'um." Goosebumps.

I've been using a mod to replace all of Skyrim's female bard songs with yours for so long that I almost forgot it wasn't part of the vanilla game. Re-installed the game recently and forgot to activate the mod. Walked into an inn and heard one of the vanilla female bard songs playing. Couldn't stand it after listening to your versions for so long. Had to exit the game and fix it immediately. All that to say, you've got one of the best voices I've ever heard. Makes a great game that much more epic and immersive haha.

They shall sing of you in Sovngarde.

I revisited this song after almost 10 years. Forgot how beautiful it was. A true work of art. You are insanely talented!!

I remember watching this when I was 12, I’m 19 now, you should really remaster this song now.. everyone would love to hear this and brought back now :’ (

My favorite Skyrim song done by you Malukah. Your skills as a Bard are truly legendary like the Dovahkiin. I believe you deserve to be forever stamped into the world of Tamriel as a legendary Bard. Until then, it will only happen thanks to mods.

My baby girl sang this for her elementary school's talent show and I played the guitar. I raised her well LOL

"Sky shattering thum" brought tears to my eyes😭👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

2019 - 2020 I love you, Malukah!!

I get chills whenever she starts speaking in Dovazul. Beautiful song :D

By the nine! Malukah's voice is obviously blessed by the divines!

I've been numb for months. Finally got past a big roadblock in my life and felt no excitement. Didn't cry, didn't smile, nothing. Listening to this cover again brought me right back to my teenage years and has me sobbing. Thank you, Malukah.

Even now, I can't listen to this without crying, thank you

She has the thu'um. Not of a dragon, of a goddess.

Holy shit that was beautiful. You brought tears to my eyes with this one, you did... Thank you for sharing this beauty with the rest of the world...

May 2020 and listening to this still give me shivers.

I’m still here in 2019 your such a good singer I love your videos

why isn't this girl famous? she has an amazing and impressive talent. keep on going 😁

5+ years late, I do what I want! Malukah, you have an amazing voice. You give me chills.

2019 and Im still listening to malukah's covers, they are just too good!

I come back every now and then because she is the best guitarist and vocalist for skyrim! Her music is incredible!

My brother got a mod where the opening screen (the load game, start new, etc) plays this instead of what it normally does. It also has a different background.

Sweet song of Skyrim, sky-shattering thu'um. Sweet song of Malukah, heart-melting thu'um.

Almost 10 years, yet, still sends chill to my spine.

Listening to this again in 2023 cz it's been years since I last touch Skyrim, still makes grown men teared up (a wee bit I tell ya), still gives me goosebumps even after all this years especially at the part 2:15 , 3:10 "And if Alduin's eternal, then eternity's done~" Thank you for this legendary cover Malukah. You're a living (Skyrim) legendary bard.

I have been using your videos as lullabies for my two year old. She absolutely loves them

Who's your favourite Daedra? Malukahth.

been listening for 5 years,I love the entire album Malukah. You're voice is so pure❤️

I really love this song, especially your version of it. I've been listening to this since 3 years ago and I never got bored of it, thank you for making this.

I felt so upset when I came back from Sovngarde and everyone acted like nothing ever happened, but then hearing the bards sing about my victory I got the motivation to play again.

Bethesda, for the love of god, hire this woman for the next game!!!!!!

Such talent I really enjoyed this when I was younger, thank you for the memories!

I first heard this cover quite a few years ago, and I absolutely loved. I just came back to it for the first time in years and I got goosebumps, and sometime about halfway through a tear came to my eye. It’s not even like the song came to have more meaning to me, I guess I just matured and understand the meaning of the song better.

always getting goosebumps with malukah's songs :D

Malukah, you've given a whole new dimension to the TES music. I'd call it "fantasy folk music" and it's fantastic (no pun intended!). Thank you for being so talented, keep on going! ;)

Beautiful!!! Love the Irish-esk lilt in parts of this, the richness of your voice - Beautiful!!

I still can't stop myself from crying every time I hear this.... Well done. Please never stop making music

still here in June 2018

Malukahth Daedra Prince of Music, Enchantments and Sirens! My favourite Daedra!!

Imma sing this to my children and tell them that dragons were real🫶🏼

Just came back to these 10 years later and still love them. I hope they have you perform some songs for the next elderscoll, your versions of the skyrim music are the true versions of this games songs in my mind.

1K dislike , hmm must be thalmor and cultist.

Malukah. A name that goes by the Ancient tongie as the Daedric god of Beauty with the voice of a mortal, but the soul of a true Dovah. The songs to those who tell tales of the mightiest, yet the most vunerable. Poorest, but the Strongest. The weekest, but the kindest. The voice that enlight their paths to those who seek eternal peace. Malukah. May Talos guide you trough your beautifull quest, and may he hear your songs to those who truely have faith for a real god(des).

Thank you for all the beautiful music that makes my heart sing!

Already my favourite minstrel song in the game... and this is definitely the best version of it.

I used to be a bard like you, Then I Took An Arrow In The Knee

she has the gift of the voice

Almost 7 years after its release, the vocals on this still blow me away, still as amazing as the first time listening.

If they ever make a Skyrim movie, this needs to play during the credits.

Guys this is how aedra sound like. Especially Dibella

She should get a job at Bethesda for singing songs for the next Elder Scrolls :)

This song…was at work on break one day listening to this and when that part”the sweet song of Skyrim the Sky shattering Thum.” It hit so hard I started sobbing so much. I thought about all my time with the game, All the countless new adventures, the struggle and frustration with mods to get that perfect immersive game right. I thought about how the game got me through a lot, I thought about my badass character and everything they go through and them standing on the ledge of a mountain peering down at the horizon of Skyrim. Just the way it is sung hits in such a way especially because its a build up to that sung line. That our character which is an extension of us is that sweet song of Skyrim. The Sky shattering thum that changed Skyrims future. Skyrim’s hero, Skyrims voice and no matter what we are in this life or where we are or how little we have accomplished that always and forever in Skyrim’s world we were someone, and for better or worse depending on play-through we made a difference and made a change. So no matter where you are or what is going on for you right now know that you accomplished something in this life, you were Skyrim’s Dragonborn.

Wow, I came back to Skyrim last month and this was the first listening to this song, IT'S SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

Malukah: ,,,And the dragons,, are gone. Dragonborn: Your welcome,

I don't know how much i say this but your a really talented singer.

Such a soothing voice...I get the chills listening to this

Oh my god. I have grown up on listening these beautiful, ambient songs. It feels so good listening to your words, your voice... I am getting this feeling, like I am in healing process, like my soul is going to one piece again 😇 It's so inspirational, I feel brave and grateful at one time. I remember when I was a kid back than, daydreaming while listening to these songs, about being a knight in armor, doing good in this world, protecting weak and helping others... I missed these days, when I felt like I can do anything, I had so much hope and I was so happy back than... When I listen to these songs of yours, I can feel it all again. Thank you for everything Malukah, thank you ❤

Now this is stronger than Thu'um.

Why hasn't Bethesda hired you?

This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. Both the song, and the singing

Divines damn you malukah, 7 years and you still makes me cry

After all these years, I still hear "Dovakiin? Fucking cool!" in the chorus. I know that's not what it says, but I can't unhear it.

You know music is good when you get chills from head to toe.

I started to listen to this in 5th grade. Now 4 years later I’m still listening. Thank you so much for this wonderful music

Beautiful!!!!....love your harmonies!!!!

your thu'um is unbelievable. your voice spreads into my goosebumps

Talos guide you!

If a Skyrim movie ever gets made, I want this song to be playing at the end credits while the screen shows all the actors/characters in sketches☺️ Amazing job Malukah!

This song is so beautiful and so touching .... thank you for playing! ❤And your voice is so beautiful, too. 👍

0:40 now imagine Dovahkiin stepping from a hill looking above the sky

If she is not a marriageable bard follower that sings to you when ever you sit down to rest in TES6, Alduin will seem like a sneezing Skeever compared to my unbridled fury! Zu'u Miikahchu, Ahmul wah Malukah. Faas dii yol hahkun, Joor!

What I love most about this song is that it tells the story of the Alduin and the Dragonborn so beautifully. The lyrics are great, but the really really neat part is that while your listening to the lyrics, your probably thinking of your own journey in the game. Your experience is part of the song. The story of the song is the story of YOU. It's so marvelous.

Still after so many years I still come back to this song it doesn’t matter how much time passes I still find myself coming back to this video just to enjoy this amazing song by Malukah

bethesda, hire malukah already damn!

BEST. BARD. EVEEEEEER!!!!!!!

Relistening to all the covers after a few years Loved these back in 8th and 9th grade, in 2018 and 2019 I'm a college freshman now, and I'm just kinda remembering what made me happy all that time ago Thank you, Malukah, for giving me something to look back fondly on

I randomly remembered this cover existed and it brought me to tears 😭 its so good omg.
