- What started off as a simple sea shanty turned into ...so much more. It was probably at the point where I wanted to "submerge" the listener during the chorus that I knew that I needed to extend the genre boundaries to...whatever this is xD
BIG shoutout to all the people who helped me with this. It was a massive project with 100+ voice layers, live strings and percussion and tons of sound design.

Lyrics:
Born n’ raised on the slaughter docks
Woo-ee-ohm!
Scraping by into blood and guts
Woo-ee-ohm!
Sails and spirits all set high
Woo-ee-ohm!
One fateful day, at Serpent’s Isle
Woo-ee-ohm!
Prove your worth and make the cut
Terror cleaving the azure green
Woo-ee-ohm!
Biggest jaull-fish I’ve ever seen
Woo-ee-ohm!
I dared into the maw of dread
But the captain cut the rope and fled
Alive or dead or in-between
Woo-ee-ohm!
Take the plunge, I bring the hook
I can’t forget, the way you looked
The broken trust, the life you took
I cross the list, it’s like a book
Got this fire, a drive in me
A place for you, below the sea
Blood and salt, the ocean seeks
to take you drown with me
Towering fangs are surrounding me
Woo-ee-ohm!
Breathe in the water, invite the sea
Woo-ee-ohm!
I was played out a sacrifice
But for every crime, they pay the price
I decide what your fate will be
Woo-ee-ohm!
Take the plunge, I bring the hook
I can’t forget, the way you looked
The broken trust, the life you took
I cross the list, it’s like a book
Got this fire, a drive in me
A place for you, below the sea
Blood and salt, the ocean seeks
to take you drown with me
Greed, theft, telling Lies
-
I cross the name
See the, terror, in your, eyes
-
I cross the name
Deep, guile, deeper, cuts
-
I cross the name
Open, heart, spill yer, guts - Hudba
the way this song flows is so weirdly unique, love it
It s like a sea shanty, but also Hip Hop and Trap, But i m all for it!
weirdly shit 🔥
I hope the pun was intended 😂
I agree @juliam
Greetings from germany🎉❤
as a pyke main i'm already getting pumped for this
you mean, you´re ... hooked?
Sorry, I´ll find myself out
@@togedemaruvii2199 don't get out we need to look deeper
into the abyss comrades
To the sunken city with all of them people 👇
poop main 💩
"sometimes the shark takes the bait ,but sinks the whole ship"
my fav pyke voice line
"Captains told me to kill fish, fish told me to kill captains. Makes sense"
I love how intelligently written the chorus is; The final line at the start is "The ocean seeks to take you down with me" and at the end it changes to "The ocean seeks to take you drown with me". At first it might not seem like it makes much sense. Until you slightly adjust how you read it. Instead of listening to it as the original flow, break it into 2 different sentences where Pyke ends by commanding you to share his fate: "The ocean seeks to take you. Drown with me."
It maintains the same beat and sound to the song, but a subtle change at the end that twists the final part of that line to mean something new. And beautifully captures his psychotic drive, it is not just that he sees this as the will of the sea to claim you, but he himself wants you in the abyss alongside him. Huge love to you as a Pyke main!
Glad you caught that little finesse 😊
good ear , I happened to catch that as well! crazy what difference a comma can make!
@@falconshield Wonderfully done.
🤓
your good annoying in english class
Can't wait till Pyke/Bilgewater gets the Arcane treatment. Imagine how badass it will be.
Well they got a game
@@jazmynelerson4343 And..was good
im the same with kindred
@@Ninjanoto2 kindred kinda can't get the arcane treatment because it's not really a character
@@telmoth yeah it's kinda just the embodiment of death
This channel deserves so much more attention, awesome music, awesome production and awesome singers 👏👏
💞💞
Totally
I may not be a fan of Pyke, but this is a dope song.
Its songs like this that make me wish that characters like Cho'Gath had more lore, so people could make more league songs.
Cho gath lore is nom nom eat the world because why not am i right ?
@@Kumo_nl facts ;-;
@@Kumo_nl pyke lore is: kill, kill, cuz... why not am i right?
@@LuckyXwX but there a little bit more depth into it lol
@@LuckyXwXkill kill those in the list because I got betrayed.
Cho’Gath is a voidspawn and I’m not gonna say that voidspawns are dumb and such but like… all he does is nom nom which is what every other voidspawn wants or is doing,
The sound design in this is amazing. I really like the feeling and sensation of being pulled under the water for each chorus. The music in the back dulls as if underwater, just to come back at full volume when he appears. This flows in a very odd, but amazing way. Tapped my foot, bobbed my head, tapped my fist against the desk in rhythm... Got chills with the entire chorus, only to truly shake at "Down with me".
I loved this. This is so uniquely Pyke... that I can't help but love it.
Also, my buddy is a Pyke main and I feel like this mix would be something he'd love so excuse me while I go see what his thoughts are!
Amazing work as always, Falconshield and I LOVE hearing you guys play with genres. Its actually stunning the magic you create.
Did he like it?
Yeah I put a lot of thought into the mix and production of this, happy to hear it got noticed! 😁
@@AppleMan112 He absolutely LOVES it.
@@falconshield It is stunning the magic you create with music, I tell you. It takes me on a ride everytime. Greetings and a heartfelt thank you for all the music you've created. (Long time listener here. ) You make me want to ask if y'all do commissions sometimes. 😂
@@falconshield Swedish band aren't you? Keep up the nice vikin/league music fam!
My favorite little touch is how the song has no real instrumental until the first chorus, when he falls into the sea. Before that point, all it has is a bit of percussion and the acapella humming.
This represents, to me, how alone Pyke truly was. Right up until he found his new family at the bottom of the sea.
The gasp for air at 3:53 is so well executed!
And it's oddly addictive
@@lucgrenier566 fr
Got whiplash from hearing a Caleb Hyles feature in the chorus. The guests never fail to surprise me, great song as always!
Falconshield's BANGIEST BANGER and also my favorite video that I've made ♥
Great job with a lot of the text work.
@@Speeds_Gaming_Corner ♥
Got full-body chills with that "down with me". Absolutely phenomenal!
I love playing Pyke and this song is in my opinion perfect for his playstyle.
Will probably hear this in a loop for a while now, because its absolutely stunning.
I have never seen this before. If you look at where people have replayed this song the most, it's just one long line. So basically this song is so perfect that people just kinda listen to all of it
That's how all songs are on CZcams
This is a viking band technically. It was written by swedish people
@@RLSova Viking was a profession, not an ethnicity, and being Swedish wouldn't automatically qualify them as Vikings even if it was.
I must admit, even tho shanties aren't my favorite genre, you nailed this one. There isn't a better genre for this champ, and no better champ for this genre. I'm listening to this on repeat and my partner, who is a Pyke main, definitely does the exact same. Good job, this one is definitely Pyke main approved and should become his theme!
The Sound, the power, the vocals, the text, the pain, the hatred, i love this a pure masterpiece
Listened to this for the last 3 days at least 100 times. Can't get the flow out of my head and at this point i don't even want to! This Sea Shanty hits DEEP! Great job!
That lead into the instrumental at 2:25 was a whole VIBE. Literally had me dancing in my chair
Man, I don't even play League, but Falconshield ALWAYS knocks out bangers.
Put this song on out of curiosity and thought it was pretty good, started playing league with it on loop, went on a 5 winstreak eventually chanting along to every "The ocean seeks to take you down with me" and now it's embedded in my mind, very well done track 👍👍
This is absolutely phenomemal!
The mixing, production, and the GOD-TIER video! Insane work, everyone. Hoping to one day get on your level of quality!!
I LOVED making this video 💞 thanks so much!
ngl this is one of my fav songs of all time. Im listening to it on a weekly basis
This song’s giving me chills the way it flows so unique is just amazing.
Each verse gives goosebumps, another masterpiece, good job Falconshield and all involved
I hear this song almost every day from her release and after 5 months i still LOVE from bottom of my heart thx
This is insane !! I love the music, the lyrics really contains all of Pyke's story and the visuals are all masterpieces
3:42 I can't get enough of this part, the gasp at the end then the insturmentals kick in is just beautiful
This goes so hard - absolutely spectacular job getting this mood down! There's something about Pyke songs with the word "Drown" in the title that just...works 👀
Pike mainers will appreciate this beauty
The flow and the lyrics are amazing, and it perfectly fits Pyke as a character
Always love it when a good story gets told through a song where you can feel that the artists enjoyed creating it
How to like this more than once? I have to admire the supremacy of this song!
Wow this is amazing. The flow is so cool like this swelling feeling of waves or something, awesome to listen to. The part with "Greed, theft, telling lies" has such an incredible swing of beat and loud strength it gives me chills. I was a teenage solo singer in a our schools choir and with that experience you can really see the singers physical emphasizing with the emotions etc of the song its just so wonderful. It feels like a happy medieval song to some old folk lore that is told at the villages festivals where the legend of Pyke is told.
An absolutely amazing detail i love is that at the start and middle of the song we have clear sounds when the video is above the water and this dampened sound when below. This effect even increased the further we are in the song. But as the video and the story of pyke continues, at 3:44 we have the most dampened sound under water, the next moment we are above the water but still have this effect. This shows that in the story of pyke he is drowning deep in the water, but survives ("Alive or dead or in-between") and in that moment below and above the water are foreign places for him. Then the camera takes us down again and you can actually hear somebody gasping for air at 3:53, now the sound is absolutely clear the same way it was earlier in the song above the water, just now it is below. This shows that the sea and everything below the water is now Pykes domain, his kingdom, his yard. I cant emphasize enough how much i love this attention to detail and how close the song is to Pykes actual Lore. Damn, this.IS. AWESOME!
Thank you for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is amazing, the way it flows, the sea shanty vibes, how intense it becomes when needed. love everything about it! great job man!
This song is EPIC 😍🙏
Lyrics, music, vocals and the way how the entire song flows are pumping me with excitement
I couldn't believe it when I actually heard Calebs voice as well.
Banger song, INCREDIBLE bass, love it all.
each song, each lyrcis, each singer, each rythm, this channel always delivers!
I'm so mad I missed the premiere. This was amazing! The deeper pitch was a pleasure to listen to. The sea shanty feel was fantastic.
This feels like an aviators song. Love it great work
I love the sea shanty vibe of the song while still being pretty epic.
i've been waiting for this. since pykes release. though back then i thought i wanted it to be metal. but a sea shanty is so much more. im so happy you did this. its beautiful.
I've been listening to this song on repeat the last couple days. It's so fire! Love the last twist with "the ocean seeks to take you. DROWN with me". Awesome!
Love the shanty vibes this gives been stuck on my head now for weeks, makes me want to get back into the game
Always love a compelling delivery of an interesting story! Great job!
For those that may not have known, this song is actually the life that Pyke had and the lore behind his character. If you want to read the full version you can go to the LoL page for the champ. I will say the very short version though, and that's what makes this song kind of sad in a way, when you realize what Pyke has actually been through.
In Bilgewater, there is very much a class system based on your worth. Unfortunately for Pyke, he was poor, and therefore, worthless. To make their income, the worthless end up selling themselves to ship captains as crew for scraps each day. The only one that would accept Pyke was a captain at the Slaughter Docks, a place aptly named both because of people being torn apart there, and because of the fishery. The prize fish they all look for is a creature called the Jaull-Fish, which is a creature that possesses a kind of sac inside the mouth that produces a material that has extremely valuable effects for magic elixirs. The problem: The sac needs to be harvested from a fish that looks like a demented Angler fish crossed with a worm from Dune, while the fish is still alive, otherwise the sac will quickly lose potency for the elixir. The way it's supposed to work is the fisher goes in the mouth, tied by a rope from the ship, harvests the sac, and then gets yanked out of the water quickly before the fish eats them. Pyke's former captain saw the size of this Jaull-fish and got terrified because the fish was large enough to destroy their ship and take everyone down. Instead of that, the captain cut Pyke off the rope and left him to fend for himself so the rest of the ship could escape. Subsequently, Pyke was eaten by the fish, and somehow, perhaps by being exposed to the pure material of that sac, perhaps fueled entirely by vengeance, he "survived".
I know I love this song so much. He makes videos about the lores and it's beyond fire 🔥
Sink 'em all!
This song, the rhythm, the meaning is a joy to my ears, thanks.
I wish there were more compositions like this that warm the soul.
Never seen your work before, skipped this song a few times when it popped up in my recommended despite my love for Pyke as a character. Never have I regretted delaying an experience so much. Well done with this. Masterly, truly. Earned yourself a sub you have
I also LOVE that gasp of air you put in there. Just- gives me FEELINGS of some sort!
(Feelings for me means money for you. Praised be Patreon.)
i love how pyke is barely on screen just like how he hunts in lore, an amazing
Still keep coming back to this song. Sooo good!
Just got this song and this channel in general recommended to me by CZcams and damn, I honestly can't stop listening. And imagine a song about Pantheon, so much undiscovered potential there in my opinion.
i think this is the best song you have ever made great job
This song gave me chills in a good way!
With in the first 5 second of the song I already got chills down my spine. Crazy
Falconsheuld will be forever iconic and amazing
Definitely my new favorite song from Falconshield
I remember the old days of Falconshield and Instalok for all the League songs. I was 13 then, 22 now... And I can still enjoy all those songs.
I really loved the lyrics in this one, thank you for the wonderful music as always
I will play this every time I play Pyke. Simply phenomenal
I couldn't have asked for something better for one of my favorite champs. Thanks so much for the lyrics, the vibe, the VOICE! Well done everyone!
The voice just asks you to sing along, it feels so singular but there are others humming in the background. I love it.
Unexpected; but as a pyke main, more than welcome! Amazing production as ive come to expect from you since the this is war 1 days. Keep being awesome! ~
This music is so good, the bass, the ambiance, the melody, the drop, the quality, all, it is all beautiful and such a blast to the ears ❤ so good
Such a dope song as usual! Love the sea shanty choice for pyke
Ya, this really went a different direction than a sea shanty haha
I love it, this definitely will be playing on loop while playing Sea of Thieves. What a cool song! Feels like a weird modern mix of genres which is pretty fresh
AMAZING SONG. I love the background vocals and the string melodies. I'm gonna listen a few more times to graps every little sound effect because they're A LOT.
The fact that the video and graphics have so much of Pyke's feel as well is insane. Thank you Falconshield and everyone involved! 🏴☠ OH - EEH - OH
💞💞💞
This is probably my new Falconshild-Song. After all these years, you still got it!
bro i just cant stop listening to this ABSOLUTE BANGER keep it going man I FREAKING LOVE IT
This feels like the kind of song that plays when someone says "But first we need a crew."
This is soooo good!!!
Love this song, I loved imagining the scenario of hearing it in one of the bars of Bilgewater. It could totally work as one of the sea shanties the bards created to sing the story of Pyke.
Reminds me of a lesson: the dead will never forget you. Our poor friend here was betrayed and he never forgot that man. Now all suffer his sunken wrath. Never was a big League of Legends player, but can't deny the catchiness and overall amazing creation of these songs! :D
I actually started crying to this song in the shower it's such a banger man, it fits him so well. The mentions of lore as bits and pieces of the stanzas is such a unique way to ease into a beat, it's truly a master piece. Keep producing bangers like this please ❤
I need this in my spotify playlist like RIGHT NOW
Make it happen 🤙
This song is so fire. Like I didn't think it would hit so hard but this song slaps. Is cool finding a hidden gem. Rock on man
One of the epics songs I've ever heard ❤
I'll always hear it when i play pyke 💖🔥
For me, this is easily your best song. Im not even a pyke fan, but man this song goes freaking HARD! HOLY SHIT!
Wow, this song was magnificent! You really managed to convey Pyke's feelings exactly!
Hugs from Brazil! 😁
BRASIL SIL SIL 🎉🎉🎉🎉 beijo da editora 🥺💞
This is awesome, really well made and GREAT feeling and storytelling. 10/10 ❤👍
First of all thiss is by far my favorite , secont of all the flow this has with the echo just sounds amazing ,third and final love the way you fit all of pykes story in there
the way this feels like a pirate's song but drowning on the sea instead of driving on it its really unique, 10/10
you just won a like and a new subscriber, this is DOPE asf, well done
MAN, THIS IS REALLY GOOD? I enjoyed it truly. Now I'm obligated to listen to this whenever I play Pyke.
i have to say i heard many songs by this amazing creator and even tho the lyrics are not so qood i am always amazed by the music,beat and the chills it gives
one of those bangers that starts out meh but gets more and more addicting with each listening!
I have never commented on your videos before but this one caught me by surprise. It is amazing! It is so well done, it sounds so good that I cannot explain it, I feel like being there while I listen to this piece of art.
🙏
I LOVE THIS!! as a pyke main the fact that they may make a game for pyke i just hope they see this and maybe inspire themself from this song cuz IT WOULD FIT SO WELL!!
It's incredible, please don't stop doing that !
Idk why the deep breath at 3:52 is so fitting, this song is amazing
Like holy shit this song is basically the mood you have while playing pyke. It's just insane
This song has amazing lyrics and flow. Gave me goosebumps!
Woahhh, youtube recommended doing miracles out here, instant sub & can't wait for more to come!
First time listening was meh, but after listening it 2 times, i realized this is a masterpiece
This.
This is the pinnacle of Falconshield music. It can't possibly get any better than this. Holy sh*t, this is the biggest banger I've heard all year.
I guess I'll give up then 😂
@@falconshield Yeap. Just pack up and go home. :D (Obviously, please don't!)
i just discovered the Falconshield, and this song is just too god, it's a week that i listen just this song
This is simply... amazing
really well done
i cant muster enough words to describe this properly!
Not just the music, the video and art is so sick as well 🔥
Thank you 🥰
man why do you have some of the best production in videogame fan music? Not just this, but all your shit recently is so clean production wise.
imagen what they could do if a dev studio asked and threw a boat load of money on them to compose something for a game.
Dear Falconshield, thank you for making the biggest banger ever 😊
the song sounds super great! Well done!
