Sovngarde Chant (Cover)

Author Comments

I am not sure why I made this, but I guess it's just because I was so obsessed with the Sovngarde Chant from the game(also from my favorite level.) So yesterday, I had the random idea to make my own little version. Sure, it's sloppy, and I know my voice isn't all that great, but hey, it's just my little tribute to one of the best games ever made. I hope you guys enjoy it, and if you don't, it's all good too. :) I will probably render the instrumental version of this, when I get home from work tonight. Only because it takes so long to render, since I want to give you guys a chance to record your vocals to this if you want to.

Oh yeah, PS:

Lyrics:

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!

Huzrah nu, kul do od, wah aan bok lingrah vod
Ahrk fin tey, boziik fun, do fin gein!
Wo lost fron wah ney dov
ahrk fin reyliik do jul
voth aan suleyk wah ronit faal krein

Ahrk fin zul, rok drey kod, nau tol morokei frod,
rul lot Taazokaan, motaad voth kein!
Sahrot Thu'um, med aan tuz, vey zeim hokoron pah,
ol fin Dovahkiin komeyt ok rein!

Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin

Ahrk fin Kel lost prodah, do ved viing ko fin krah,
tol fod zeymah win kein meyz fundein!
Alduin, feyn do jun, kruziik vokun staadnau,
voth aan bahlok wah diivon fin lein!

Nuz aan sul, fent alok, fod fin? vul dovah nok,
fen kos nahlot mahfaeraak ahrk ruz!
Paaz Keizaal fen kos stin nol bein Alduin jot,
Dovahkiin kos fin saviik do muz!

Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin
naal ok zin los vahriin
dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal!
Ahrk fin norok paal graan
fod nust hon zindro zaan
Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal!

You're selling yourself short. This is outstanding. You sing beautifully, too.

This song is so touching to me. The vocals are beautiful. The beat is steady and slow, just how I like it. It inspires me. What it inspires me to do? I don't know. I just know that I want to give this an 11/5.

Thank you so much. It means a lot hearing this. <3

I'll be honest; I was expecting this to be crap. I've been using Newgrounds' Audio portal for as long as it's been here, and to date I've never once come across a fan-made cover of a videogame song that was actually good. The decade of cynicism I've built up over this place would've saw me putting money on this being yet another stupid kid who can't string more than 3 lines of lyrics together.

Oh, how I was wrong. I don't think I've ever been more wrong in an assumption about anything I've seen or heard on this site.

To say that this was a surprise is a huge understatement. This is the most talent-laden, atmospheric, soulful tracks I've ever heard. And I'm not restricting that to just the audio portal: In the 26 years I've lived, this is easily one of the best things I've ever listened to. It's easily better than the real one, which is something I always thought impossible to do. For that matter, I thought Hania was impossible to beat in terms of singing ability, but you've certainly challenged that preconception too.

I feel I owe you an apology, and my thanks. I truly regret ever thinking ill of your talents before letting them demonstrate themselves, and I will never again forget that great art really can be found anywhere, no matter how unappealing the venue in which it is showcased may be to me.

A decade of cynicism, blown away within 3 seconds of the lyrics starting. That, my dear, is a rare achievement indeed. The shouts of Skyrim may be fictional, but your voice has a power that is very real. If Bethesda ever decide to make another Elder Scrolls game, I will do whatever I can to make them aware of your amazing ability. It's the least I can do.

Jessismith responds:

Oh wow! I wasn't expecting to see this when I woke up this morning! But I can tell you that you have just made my day...completely. I almost want to cry. Thank you! Thank you so much! And it's nice to see other folks who are my age here on NG. It means a lot to see such a wonderful, genuine heartfelt review on one of my works. So, thank you for that. Folks like you are the very thing that keeps me wanting to make music and art!!! :D <3

This song is something special here. If someone dares to zero bomb you a dragon will come for them hopefully a legendary dragon.

Jessismith responds:

Haha, thanks!

Utterly amazing. Truly, no words can describe the beauty this piece offers to the ears. Truly aspiring to the vision of the female Nord warriors who died with a sword in their hand, defending their true beliefs.

Jessismith responds:

Thank you. That really means a lot. :D
