- Inspired by the doomed love story of Solas and Lavellan from Dragon Age Inquisition. Lyrics&Melody by SeiðrSkald.
Thank you so much for all of your kind comments. And as requested, here are the lyrics:
[Verse 1]
In the fade's embrace, where time stands still,
Ar lath ma, vhenaan, against my will.
A heart that's torn, between two worlds,
In dreams, I find you, my spirit unfurls.
[Pre-Chorus]
In whispers of the woodland, and the sigh of the sea,
Ar lath ma, vhenaan, come back to me.
Through the echoes of eternity, and the stars above,
I await you, vhenaan, in the garden of love.
[Chorus]
Who dares to dream forever, when dreams must end?
Ar lath ma, vhenaan, my love, my friend.
In the silence of the ancient, I hear your call,
A whisper of 'forever,' before the fall.
[Verse 2]
Once a god of old, now a man of pain,
My love for you, a bittersweet refrain.
In the shadow of the Dread Wolf, a love so vast,
Ar lath ma, vhenaan, in memories cast.
[Bridge]
Oh, Lavellan, with the mark of the sky,
You've touched the soul of a god gone by.
I've wandered long, in the world of men,
But it's you I return to, again and again.
[Pre-Chorus]
In whispers of the woodland, and the sigh of the sea,
Ar lath ma, vhenaan, come back to me.
Through the echoes of eternity, and the stars above,
I await you, vhenaan, in the garden of love.
[Final Chorus]
If we could dream forever, in a realm with no end
Ar lath ma, vhenaan, your heart I'll mend
In the silence of the ancient, I feel your embrace
A wish of 'forever', in a timeless space
[Outro]
So who wants to live forever, when love's a fleeting game?
Ar lath ma, vhenaan, in the end, it's all the same.
For a moment in time, or the turn of the sun,
I'll love you, vhenaan, until all is undone…
[End song]

So, so, so glad YT recommended this. I'm one of the 10 year Solavellans out here, and this song is just a soothing balm to my heart. I remember romancing Solas on my first playthrough all those years ago, and being so shocked, so... ruined, by -- that -- scene, but after reflecting on it, I realized Weekes & team decided to "commit" their love story -- then -- ... in that moment of heartbreak, not at earlier moments. That realization made me understand the long path we'd be on with his character. Loving him is a long, lonely journey. But. Var lath vir suledin.
I'm so glad to hear the song resonates with you. You might already have guessed from the lyrics, but I'm a long fan of Solas/Lavellan as well. 😄
Me too
Heartbreaking...all I have to say.
@@SRWill64 and yet I’ll still listen to it and smile with tears on my face because it’s bittersweet
We shall see him anon once again.
"Oh, Lavellan, with the mark of the sky,
You've touched the soul of a god gone by."

The impossible love story. I know a happy ending is most likely out of the question, but, whatever the end, it was real. Wonderful song.
Finally someone made a song about Solavellan. One of my favourite romances in DA 🤩
10 years of thinking that we were over Solas...
Omg, how is this not more popular?! 😮 This is literally a perfect song to summarize Fen'harel and the players romance. I cried sinking into the lyrics, guided so perfectly by the music composition. I really hope this man gets a happy ending. 😢
Omg the pain is so real! I didn't think my heart could break down to a subatomic level but here we are, defying physics, thanks to you 😭 Beautiful lyrics and stunning imagery! ❤
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video, and for the kind comment. ❤
You two sound collab!
Wow, this HURT. Thanks. Truly a beautiful, skillfully crafted song.
This song is amazing. I am going to listen to it on repeat until Veilguard comes out, to ensure I am heartbroken enough for my Lavellan's return.
Damn that’s so effing real.
This is so beautiful and touching! And the visuals of the image captures the whole vibe of the song. Can’t wait to see the reunion for these two ❤
Please BioWare don’t mess up our reunion ❤
I bought the DA 4 just because of Solas and if there won't be the end of story of Solavellan...I'd ask for a refund.
Yes Solas ! Break my heart once again !! 😭💔....... You're the only one allowed to do that... 🥲❤❤
I maintain that if the Inquisitor doesn't appear and somehow get a satisfying end to this romance, I am rioting. Satisfying doesnt necessarily mean happy (unfortunately), just something more than... pining. My Inquisitor Alnifenen deserves to know what happened to her vhenan 😭
When "Ar lath ma, vhenaan, my love, my friend." came I just lost it. Idk why "my friend" at the end there hit so hard. Just made it feel so real. And now I'm cyring, this is so beautiful. All of it!
Aww, thank you so much for your kind comment.
As a Solasmancer, I love this song. It was beautiful and forlorn just like the romance. Simply wonderful.
My heart breaks all over again 🥲💔 thank you for the amazing songg,
Oh my god, this is so beautiful! 😍 "Ar lath ma, vhenaan, against my will... For a moment in time, or the turn of the sun, I'll love you, vhenaan, until all is undone…" Ugh, it hits right in the angst! Great tribute to most tragic romance of Dragon Age. Great job, guys! You're awesome!
This song is so great. I love the lyrics and your voices :D Wonderful job :) Thank you for your hard work :)
A beautiful song. And Solas looks very cool and majestic here.
As much as i would love to enjoy this, the use of ai for this video saddens me, many Solavellans would have been happy to be commissioned for the cover or any of the backgrounds in the video. Ai takes a database of art and uses it without permission, so most likely the ai took from many artists of the fandom to get that. I understand your excitement for the game, but "no copyright infringement" is misinformation. If you need help getting artists contacts I would love to help you. I also hope this doesn't take Gareths voice without permission as they are currently on strike for that very thing 😅
I did post on a Fan Art Discord channel awhile back, asking if anyone wanted to collaborate with me on this project but I got no replies. To be fair it was before the Veilguard hype so perhaps I just had bad timing. Using an image created with Bing was absolutely a last resort, and I would love to be able to use real art by real artists in my videos. The voices in this particular song are both me. I didn't list it because I really can't sing and I used an online AI tool to widen the range of it and fix the parts that were off-key, as well as drop the pitch and making it sound like a man's voice. I didn't really like doing it because it feels too much like lying or pretending. You can read more about my work process and my thoughts on using AI here: www.youtube.com/@SeidrSkald/community
@@SeidrSkald i wont lie, i thought there were two people singing here. I adore this song!!
This is so criminally underrated, wtf???
何も言葉にできないけど、感動してとにかく泣いています。本当に綺麗。
聞かせてくれてありがとう。
My heart has just been broken again. Disarming pain and yet so comforting. Even if I am broken at the end I will always choose the same path with our Chuckles. It's worth the heartbreak, that's what makes it beautiful.
Thank you so much ❤
10 years, still in Solavellan Hell.
Thank you for the song. It was absolutely beautiful and I couldn’t help but to softly smile through out the entire song. My love for The Dread Wolf has grown. ❤️🐺
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. It means a lot.
I wish this was on spotify, I love this song! ❤
"Solas, var lath vir suledin."
"I wish it could, Vhenan.'
I just got blasted to my first playthrough of Dragon Age Inquisition on my Xbox one... I chose to hurt myself... I chose Solas and I would do it again.
holy god damn shit this seriously ripped out my heart and stomped on it in the best way. Solavellan is my favorite dragon age ship of ALL TIME and this song absolutely does their DAI story arc justice. BRAVO! dont mind me just gonna listen to this on loop and watch a bunch of Solavellan clips while weeping
I know nothing of the characters, the story, or where they are from but this makes me want to learn. Beautiful ❤️ thank you youtube algorithm
Oh I really suggest to play Dragon Age Inquisition if you can! The love story between the character named Solas and the female elf lavellan (main character if you choose to play with her) is really tragic but wonderful at the same time
Be prepared to have your heart ripped out by a fictional character, over and over. I can't romance any of the othere because of this beautiful egg.
I cannot tell you what a masterpiece you've created. On my first playthrough, before the dlcs, I played a human and I hated Solas.
For my second, I made a pretty elf lady and oh boy. There is so much more that's revealed like that and then with the Trespasser dlc... I bawled. Yeah, I know, I'm a little bitch but I get too much into the lore and my characters (guess because I larp and play dnd?)...
Both your voices are amazing, the lyrics and the music are just... perfection. I have goose bumps even if I listened to it like 20 times one after the other.
Thank you so much for sharing that beautiful creation with us, mere mortals.🙇♀️
Thank you kindly for taking the time to comment. It really means a lot. :) And yes, the Solas/Lavellan romance is quite special, and my favourite.
I can't take any credit for the voices, only the melody and the lyrics. The voices, and the music, was created using Suno. That said, I did spend a lot of time writing prompts and instructions to make it sound the way I wanted it to.
I was crying multiple times during the romance, you are not alone
I'm speechless.. I honestly teared up and got ghoosebums all over my body. You truly captured their pain and yearning so well.. my poor heart.. Maker, I can't wait to see them reunited in Veilguard. Until then, that song is going to live on repeat in my brain, thank you so much for your incredible work
Thank you kindly for your words. It means a lot to me to know that I'm not the only one obsessing about Solas and Lavellan. ☺
@@SeidrSkald You're very welcome!!
That was absolutely breathtaking! I am in awe…. 🖤🖤
I may have hit the like and save to favorite buttons so hard. So beautiful!
Слушаю и плачу. Господи, это шедевр!
My heart just melted ❤ 😭 The lyrics, the music, and the picture are all perfect! Thanks for creating such a wonderful song ❤
Heartfelt thanks for your kind words.
Digging this and "warriors death" keep it up. Love it
Thank you kindly.
I'll put this here since the Dalish Lullaby doesn't have comments, but even though the Lullaby is freaking awesome the auto tuneness near the start is a bit reverby. Makes it a little hard to understand.
But this one & the Grey Warden song are Super Awesome. Excited to see what else you make.
Thank You!
Sorry about that. I still haven't learned how to properly use all the settings, or how to clean up things when mastering the songs. I'm glad you like the music though, and I'll do my best to improve the quality of it. :)
@@SeidrSkald No need for Sorry. It's all Good.
im gonna freakin cry dude ;;
I can't stop listening to this song Solas my love !
This is such a beauitful song, am trying not to cry. Am so happy then came into the recommand becuase am not going to stop listening to this ♥ My Vhenan hurts for this man so much.
I've never played this game... but this song is very haunting, and now, I do want to play DA.
Omg 😭💜 someone send it to the devs 🙏🏻
First time I heard this, I cried. This is now the theme for Solas and my Inky. ❤😭
As a sad little Solavellan...yes. Thank you. ❤
This song is so perfect! 💕
God bless YT for recommended me this!
Stop this is so pretty 😢
I'm crying, thank you. ❤❤
no words only tears
Der Song ist wirklich schön
This is beautiful ❤ For once the CZcams algorithm has done something right to recommend this! Please drop this on Spotify, I will be forever grateful 😭

Such a nice song! Thank you!
absolutely amazing!
Thank you kindly.
@@SeidrSkald music like this is what making me more excited about Veilguard
This is just so good! It hits my heart so hard, and I can't stop listening to it. ❤ thank you!
Thank you for your kind words. I am glad you like the song. 🙂
Beautiful song. ❤
Oh.... my heart... !
OH THANK YOU, CZcams! ANOTHER SOLAVELLAN MUSIC! I'M SO DOWN
This is...holy fuck this is beautiful.
This is why i pick the males that cane break my heart in video games. It just makes me feel less alone knowing that I'm not the only one who wishes the Creators of Dragon Age would allow the Tragic Men to be fixed or seen again and possibly persuaded to let the MC bacl into their lives and let them help them find a way to fix their mistakes.
By the way I connected to Solas the most, more than the others for many reasons, and one that just makes me cry as i lost my father in midspring this year, and he hardly ever sai he loved me ( and my older sister and younger nrother as I'm the middle child and my older, half brother and sister weren't close to us as we're years apart and their mother wasnt the best, and thats all I can say. Add to the fact my dad wasnt supposed to have any kids yet he had the most kids, grandkids, and now a great grandson the latter of which he thankfully got see when he was born) when he did I was best thing to hear from him. God I'm crying just thinking and writing about this, but it's a good kind of crying. So yeah sorry about the spellings of some are wrong
Losing someone, a parent especially, is never easy, and it takes time to mourn and find a new foothold in life. 🫂 I too connected with Solas for personal reasons, though different from yours, but yes, he is a very special character to me too. I am glad some of those feelings shone through this song and that it touched your heart. ❤
Это прекрасно❤ТТ
uhhhhhh excuse me. this shit slaps. i need u to produce more please, thanx
Please add this to iTunes so I can add it to my Solavellan Feels playlist 😭
Sadly I don't think that is possible since this is fan music and not commercial. But you can find the tracks here and download them if you want: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PUX2qK62LFu9o0S5dhbdn6yd9V1rrecQ?usp=drive_link
This is so beautiful! And heartbreaking! TT-TT
This song is beautiful!! I'll be adding it to my playlist - but the art is AI? As an illustrator, it's a little bit disheartening to see AI art used alongside a really well produced song. If you need a link to any solavellan artists, I'm sure there are plenty who'd love to draw a thumbnail for any future songs/videos!
Even the music is from Suno AI
Hey there! Yes, I did use Suno in the making of the music but the melody, the piano-tune and the tin whistle melody are my own creations. I recorded them using my cellphone then uploaded the recording to Suno. The song as you hear it is really parts of several different tracks extracted from my audio uploads and then pieced together in AudioMass and BandLab.
@@SeidrSkald I really don’t know anything about making music or the creation of songs with or without AI, so I can’t and won’t speak on that - But I love the lyrics, and still think this is an amazing song!!
Also, a thought I had, if you can’t find an artist to commission, you can always ask any DA artist if they’re happy to have their art featured in the video? I’d love to see more artists represented, and I’m sure there are plenty of people who would love to draw a solavellan illustration for one of your songs!
I've posted in the Fan Art discord channel, and I was thinking I could post on Bioware's discrod as well. I've also started using my own... well, art isn't exactly the right word for it. But at least they human made and not based on anyone else's hard work.
I didn't need this this today!!! 😭😭😭 but I totally needed it! ❤️🩹
This is good!❤ I hope you create more for Dragon age. I would love one with Alistair, Fenris and Cullen base.
Thank you, and those are excellent suggestions. 😀
Beautiful melody! 💫
I have, however, a few suggestions:
1) I think it would make a big difference if you were to add "Dragon Age Fan Song" to your title. I almost didn't click on this because I had no idea of what to expect (a music video? A gallery of AI-generated images?)
2) There are a lot of talented Solavellan artists out there, I think it would be better to ask them permission to use one of their works as thumbnail, instead of an AI-generated one.
Thank you for your suggestions. Including Dragon Age Fan Song in the title is an excellent idea, and I'd love to use real art work for the video, but sadly I got no response to the request I made on the fan art discord channel where I posted. I ended up using Bing Image Creator because it was either that or not have an image at all. However, I have started making digital art myself (in Krita), so hopefully, I'll be able to update the video with a non-AI image in the near future. 🙂
I wish you good luck with your art journey, I look forward to see your artworks in future videos 😊
i loveee it they should deffo put it on the next gameeeeee ;-; if u play as lavelan in dai they shouuuld make a bard play this dammm
😍😍😍
I love this song, can we get lyrics? I do the same fantasy songs with Suno for our campaign
Awesome
Ah, almost had me. The AI usage has me nervous how much is your actual talent or soulless creation. May revisit if this gets told!
I recorded the piano-melody using an app and then used it as a seed in Suno. Not sure if that counts as talent or not, but the melody of the song is my creation.
I love this song so much! It's wonderful by itself but the fact it's also inspired by a game I really loved makes it even better! Is there anywhere we can purchase a copy of it so we can listen to it outside of CZcams?
Hi! Thank you for your comment. :) I'm completely new to creating music and sharing it with people online, so unfortunately I have no clue how to make it available outside of CZcams. But he non-mastered version is available for download on my Suno-account: suno.com/song/5e852004-fde1-42c8-9c6d-a0f073ea40d7
@@SeidrSkald It's super good! It made me want to go and replay DA Inquisition! Some of my favorite genres are Celtic/Folk and fan music (my tastes are all over the place) and this hits both of these perfectly!
@@LaurenLanier-y1v You're so kind. And I'm glad the song made you go and revisit Thedas. DA I is such a great game, and Solas is my favourite character in it. Can't wait to see more of him in Veilguard. I've been looking into how to share the song, and others I have coming properly. And I might have found a way...😊
@@SeidrSkald That's awesome! Please make an update when it's available!
I hate Solas but this song is just Awesome! I'm really impressed!
The melody and lyrics are amazing and lovely, I just wish it was real voices. The warbley ai quality distorts it so that it's hard to truly enjoy it.
It did start out as a real voice. I used Soundtrap, but the original recording was of rather poor quality, and on top of that Suno has a tendency to decrease the audio quality further. I am slowly getting the hang of using music software like BandLab and Audacity, so hopefully I will be able to improve the quality of my songs as I record more of them.
I’ll cry right now. Stop it
😭😭😭😭
I’ve played several playgrounds of DAI, however I’ve yet to do a play through with a Solas romance. I really want to but having seen his expansion when he walks away from her, I haven’t been able too. Is it worth it character/romance wise for that heartbreaking expression at their final interaction. Genuinely asking, I’ve created a character ready I just can’t bring myself to get past the start of the play through knowing the inevitability of that outcome…..
If you like doomed romances, then yes, it is totally worth it. Especially if you are planning to play the Trespasser DLC as well. I would recommend to bring Cole and Solas along as companions when doing quests since it will give you some more insight into Solas' reasons for breaking things off. You can also speak to Cole during the very end of Inquisition, during the party, for an extra heart-wrenching message from Solas. So, in short, yes it is so worth it.
🖤
Its really upsetting seeing AI being used for Solavellan content. Many amazing artists create beautiful Solavellan artwork and it has been stolen and used without our consent so to see images like this is very upsetting. I strongly urge you to reconsider using AI and hire real artists to create your thumbnails.
Hi there. I only used AI to create the music around the piano melody and the voices, and the image since I am not a skilled enough artist, and I don't have two voices, or that range. The chord progression, lyrics and melody of the song, as well as arrangement is entirely human made. But I agree with you that using AI that has been trained on other people's work is problematic which, which is why I never use any producer tags while prompting Suno and Bing Image Creator. I know that with Bing, artists can request to have their content removed from its AI, and I would urge any artist to contact Microsoft to do that.
Someone needs to contact Bioware NOW and make sure this is in Veilguard somewhere with a romanced Lavellan. There's enough time for them to add this in. 😢💔
Ewww AI garbage
Hey there! The lyrics, melody, chord progression and arrangement are all original work made by me. You can read about my work progress and reasons for using AI here:www.youtube.com/@SeidrSkald/community
@@SeidrSkald You can excuse yourself all you like, but AI cannibalizes the work of actual people.
Maybe actually work for the stuff you want to put out into the world, instead of stealing it from others and running the severed pieces of their work through an algorithm.
Actually, the algorithm bases the music on the seeds I upload to Suno as well as the instructions on chords, key-changes and BPM and so on.
Thank you for ruining me further with this heartbreaking song. 😭😭 I can't wait to play DATV when it releases so I can lay my love to rest.
Волшебно! Спасибо вам за эту красоту, и за другие видео которые вышли позже ❤ это бальзам спустя столько лет! Искала медь, а нашла золото ❤
