Holy crap the dramatic irony is so beautiful. The traits that allowed her to take power, being able to see the world from below and being clever enough to manipulate the king on her own is ultimately what leads to her own downfall. She keeps singing about how she doesn’t need swords or advisors, but once she becomes the ruler, she goes to the top of the world and sees her subjects beneath her just as the king did, losing sight and unaware of the growing hostility. I love this song

[Serena]

It's giving medieval musical movie vibes

My villainess finally has a backstory thanks to this song. I cannot ariticulate how cool this is without an actual essay about it-

[evelyneelric]

I really love how the song ends with her too above to understand, a story gone full circle. I seriously love this whole thing. I've listened to it so many times I honestly couldn't count if i tried.

[cookieepasel]

I like how at 2:22 she was about to say "like i do" except she doesnt anymore and its replaced by "i am the king" because she no longer sees from below as shes now king
Thats just my interpretation ❤
Very cool song

[andysixxstalkerangeloftrag]

Pointing out that power corrupts and so does greed in the most lyrical way

[silverlanswoodworking]

this needs a series of tracks that tell a full adventure story cause

[opalishmoth]

My only complaint is that’s too short haha (to be clear, im just joking around )
Good thing YouTube had the loop option.

Bless the algorithm for recommending this to me…. Because the program identified the pattern of the kind of music I like.
…
I’m just going to focus on the fact YouTube algorithm can be very helpful to orginal songwriters and giving their work shared

[ghostinmyownworld]

I greatly appreciate that you immediately give us a lyric video. <3

[Yammerzakifr]

I clicked due to the thumbnail and wow this is a masterpiece!

[frostphoenix]

Evocative storytelling, haunting melodies, and passionate vocals. You, miss, possess a rare talent indeed.

This song is a godly thing my ears have heard, I absolutely love it. I love the way she seemed so innocent and sweet but she’s really a very smart and cunning woman who trusts herself but also gets cocky. She whispers to the king trying to trick him into thinking that there’s a traitor when it’s really her all along, he doesn’t think it’s her because she told him and only an idiot would do something like that (sarcasm) but he still falls from a greedy reign and she takes it up but then falls the same way he did with someone she trusted because she got cocky. It’s an infinity of a loop and a beautifully haunting melody about how history will repeat with smarter people who will all get cocky and repeat until they bring themselves down the very same way they worked themselves up. I recently found you and you’ve definitely reached the top of my favorite artists, this song is very good and is a very helpful writer motivational material for the book I am writing so thank you!

[kjam]

I have been listening to this song on repeat for the past weeks. I can't tell you how much i want a fantasy book trilogy and a netflix series based on this

[JordanVanRyn]

I'm a huge expert on Medieval history and I love this song so much! This is really incredible storytelling within your music writing. It really shows that while the Woman takes the throne from the King, she goes down the same way the King did. it's a clear commentary on how Power and Greed corrupts no matter who's on the Throne. It's brilliant.

[DuaMirani-lk]

I don't if this is planned or not but using sword earrings, as a mer piece of jewelry, just for decor and nothing more than that, is chillingly amazing.

[kjam]

I love songs that tell a story and this one does so magneficently

[keineartkunst]

I don't need a sword
I don't need advisors
To tell me which of us
Is proven to be wiser
He is the king
And I his loyal subject
None of us could do what he does
He leads his men
While I mop the floors
I clean the stains of their fallen blood
I don't need a sword
I don't need advisors
To tell me which of us
Is proven to be wiser
While he sits above
His thoughts veil his view
He cannot see the world
From below like I do
It's just a whisper
I breathe in his ear
I fear there are traitors in our midst
I watch his eyes
As they roam through the crowd
Grow wary as he wonders who it is
Not noticing my hands on his crown
Bringing it all down
I don't need a sword
I don't need advisors
To tell me which of us
Is proven to be wiser
While he sits above
His thoughts veil his view
He cannot see the world
From below like I do
And then it is too late
The cannons have rolled in
From the highest tower
We watch the fight begin
A blade cuts through the air
And at once does he know
That the one that stands before him
Is the one who stole his throne
I don't need a sword
I don't need advisors
To tell me which of us
Is proven to be wiser
While he sits above
His thoughts veil his view
He cannot see the world
From below like-
I am the king
And you my loyal subjects
Bow down and swear servility
I sit above while the peasants bow below
Unaware of their hostility
And the rest is history

I chose this song for a winter guard solo performance because, I loved the irony between them being a servant and them being king, after i got all of the work done and perfecred my hope is to do the performance blindfolded to show how truly blind they were.

[AriaCodfish]

The irony of the phrase “I don’t need advisors” is interesting given the story.

The utilization of advisors is one of the few ways that absolute monarchies give a voice to the people. By directly appointing a citizen and allowing them to speak freely. Even if they can be ignored, the implication that the previous king utilizes advisors while she insists she “doesn’t need them” is very telling in terms of her priorities.

By stating that she doesn’t need advisors she is already setting a bad precedent for her rule.

The hints that the protagonist will be a bad ruler after she usurps the throne are given within the first few measures.

Also, small detail, that is probably not intentional, but the song starts with no intro.

Showing that she doesn’t wait to make decisions, or give people time before she speaks.

This song has given me a story idea. Or at least a story for an idea I already had.

So imagine that the woman in the song was angry at the king, maybe being wronged by him in some way and seeks to take his throne. Becoming a servant of the castle, she begins to gain allies among those who are also sick of the king. She even gains the help of some of the guards. Well, one night she manages to approach the king and gives him the warning. That she fears a traitor may turn those he trusts against him. This puts doubt and suspicion into the King’s mind. Slowly, and patiently she stokes the flames, turning the King against his family and advisors. Until eventually she has enough people to take the throne. She kills the King and has the Queen executed and those who followed her crowned her Queen. Success! She has won…or so she thinks. Little does she know that, while the King is dead…the Prince lives. And while he may be a child he will return one day and reclaim the throne that rightfully belongs to him.

I just imagine this as a sort of prologue to the story. This was a great song though. Really like it.
