Skyrim: Secunda - Piano Cover [Intermediate]

My piano cover of Secunda from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which is one of my favorite tracks from the game. I could roam the night skies forever to this tune...

This arrangement is a blend between Torby Brand's (first half) and Scamper's (second half) arrangement. Check them out:

GFX by the wonderful Lyric as always ~

Enjoy!

For those who don't know, Secunda is the name of one of Tamriel's moons, the other being Masser.

wow! this brings back so many memories of late night summers of playing skyrim

[Josh-htqw]

I was once a pianist like you. But then I took an arrow to the thumb.

[blakecornish]

Every time I see something like this, I get goosebumps. Skyrim just makes me happy and will forever be the best game.

[juandiaz]

Just got back into skyrim so this is refreshing.

Let me paint you the scene:
The year is 2011 and you got skyrim for Christmas and an Xbox 360 you let the game download overnight, you hop in and grind for hours. Your running through the meadows just outside of riften. Then you hear this song start to play in the middle of the night. You look up and see the stars and the moons. You just sit there for a second taking it all in. You slowly drift into daydreaming while this music is playing. The song comes to an end and everything is quite. You go back to questing but always remember the time you had during this song. Some say it’s a ancient myth but I still here that the Dragonborn visit that’s place once in a while just to Remanence.

When people ask me why I love Skyrim so much, I refer them to any & every piano cover of Secunda. I know I could refer them to the Dragonborn song or the opening intro song as they are more well-known, and while those songs definitely have a great sound to them as well because of the talent of Jeremy Soule, there’s just nothing quite as listening to this song in the middle of the night, pondering whether you should keep playing & continue your adventures in Skyrim, or if you should turn in for the night because the beautiful melodies of this song make it almost like a lullaby. It’s the reason why I use this song for my sleep machine when I go to bed every night. Best video game ost, up there with Ocarina of Time for sure.

Whenever I returned to whiterun at night, Secunda always played. Now I get nostalgic when I hear it.

[bennet]

The Dragonborn stepped out of Riverwood to get a glimpse of the landscape around them. The bright moonlight shined down over the river, giving it glistening stripes of silver. They walked over the stone bridge, and down the stone path before them. They reached the end of the river, the water plummeting over the rocky edge. They see the sprawling city of Whiterun in the distance. Dragonsreach looms over the houses like a dark obelisk, with small lights shining through windows. The grassy plains looked like a waving green and orange ocean, with deer frolicking through the tall grass. Small snowflakes began to drift through the air. In the light, it looked like a star field. It didn't last long, but the thin layer of snow only added to the beauty. The distant roar of a dragon reminded the Dragonborn of their destiny. They looked over their surroundings once more, then continued on their journey to save the land they loved...

Omg the nostalgia this brings is insane, I kinda miss the old days of not knowing what to expect when battling a dragon or accidentally stumbling upon a bandit outpost...

Who knew that evening of November 10th 2011, would be the last time I ever stood in a midnight release line for a game?

I will never forget getting home around 1am, putting the disk in and playing until I had to get ready for work. I was so engrossed in all the little details that made it a magical world to explore.

When it was time for work I called out sick, made a pot of coffee and just kept on going on my magical journey.

This song in particular alway reminds me of wandering the snowy peaks up near the mages college, at night. Looking up at a fantastic clear night sky, enjoying the distant planets and stars, mixed in with the beautiful green colors of an aurora borealis.

Great game, fond memories, simpler times.

[kst-dg]

If you’re over 25, and own a computer, this game is a must have!

[NecroKitten]

I clicked so fast! This is my favourite track in the entire game. Brilliant job

[jamiewade]

I've never clicked on a video so hard in my life. I wish we could go back to 2011, such a simpler time. Skyrim is and will always be my favourite video game. Thank you for this beautiful masterpiece.

[AssasinSpike]

Finally hit the 1 minute mark for this song🙌 the grind continues

How this man can catch all those tetris poeces is astonishing.

[CalSniffsMilo]

I Refuse to believe that this game is over 9 years old now. the memories. thanks Atin.

[Rynluv]

How can anyone come up with a iconic song like this beats the hell out of me. You really got to admire the thought and creativity of the artists behind the music.
