This isn’t just metal...

This is skyforge steel!

[OddNess]

Fun fact about this song. The original is called The dragonborn comes and a version of it plays during every single dragon fight, even the final fight against Alduin. The lyrics are mainly in Dovah, the language of the dragons created for the game. The lyrics describe the one thing the dragons fear, the one that can actually kill them permanently. The song isn't Boss music for when you fight the dragons. The song is Boss music for when the dragons fight YOU.

Edit: Ok so plenty of people have kindly corrected me on the name of this song. The fact it plays when you fight the dragons and Alduin is still accurate though. Thank you to everyone who helpfully corrected my mistake!

When you hear this music you know you shouldn't have killed that chicken

Me: Re-Install Skyrim
PC: "Okay!"
Me: *INSTALLING 1000+ MODS*
PC: "NOT OKAY! NOT OKAY!"
Also Me: "See you in Sovngarde!"

Enemies in the game: Why do I hear boss music?

Dragonborn: Oh shit, here we go again.

10/10 because you actually got the lyrics right. For some reason I memorized the lyrics, making it infuriating to listen to any cover that just slur out something that sounds similar. Your commitment is thus appreciated.

- Skyrim? After all this time?
- Always.

Me: *Me falling asleep after listening to the orig countless times*
Me: *Wakes up after hearing something new*
Jonathan: Hey you, You're finally awake.

Not even skyforge can recreate this metal

*what it feels like to beat the game on legendary with only iron armor*

Skyrim fans: nothing could make the Skyrim theme better!

These guys: hold our mead...

[Ibicica]

Me : *Buys Skyrim*
Youtube algorithm : rise and shine Dragonborn.

My veins are literally bursting at the seams with adrenaline right now.

Alduin: "No one can stop me! I am the first born of Akatosh!"

Level 3 Dragonborn: "Hold my beer."

Jonathan, as someone that grew up playing piano (my mother was a concert pianist and USO girl in the 40's and 50's), I deeply appreciate your musical talents. I cannot give enough praise to do you justice. I showed my mom, who is 92 years old and actually had quite the voice back in the day, your music videos and she was quite impressed. Her words, "You watch this young man. He is going to go places." My entire family, from my mom down to my 10 yo daughter, who also sings, follows and looks forward to your next cover. Oh, my daughter also begged me to ask. How many instruments do you actually play???

And I thought Skyrim's theme couldn't get any more badass.
Glad to know I'm wrong.

That's when the goosebumps kicked in.

This makes me SO happy. Especially knowing this song is special to you. You can tell that a lot of love was put into this! Thank you Jon and Caleb ❤

I could've sworn I was petting my cat, not Alduin...

[ventrulius]

No matter how high your smithing level is... you wouldn't be able to forge this kind of metal.
