      Cyranor, thank you! Glad you enjoyed this vid and I hope to make more. I feel it actually helped me organize my thoughts and be more efficient in general. I'll try for the next cover, for sure!

      only one thing that slightly disturbes me here...
      is using a youtube video of a song, to get the lyrics and co...when the witcher 3 comes along with an .flac soundtrack, that gives much more clarity, detail and dynamics than the crappy youtube compressed 128kbit sounds.
      other than that, yeah nice to see the all the backround work and effort that goes into a short cover and all the attention to detail. :)

    The amount of pure talent required to do something like this - starting from a song, dis-assembling the lyrics, then coming up with a beautiful re-imagining of it while staying true to its "essence", switching instruments all the time and doing this... in a team of one - truly is mind-boggling. Thank you so much for finding the time and putting in the effort to record this behind-the-scenes, really makes me appreciate your work even more!

    My lady Malukah, yo sabia que había gran trabajo detrás de cada una de sus obras maestras, pero esto es magistral. Es interesante todo el estudio que hace de la letra, no sólo el seguir por inercia la partitura, sino entender su significado y el análisis de la fonética le da un valor a su trabajo incalculable, pues realmente no solo interpreta la letra, sino también las emociones que aporta está. A la vez también es muy importante como prueba distintas versiones de la música y con que instrumento es adecuado realizar el cover, lo cual muchos músicos he visto que olvidan al hacer covers. Porque efectivamente, si no pierde su esencia original. Mayores comentarios, no me atrevo hacer, pues mis conocimientos musicales no son tan amplios para dar más comentarios.
    Muchas felicidades my lady, su gran esfuerzo y dedicación por lo que ama hacer se refleja en la grandeza de su legado, que al final como todo ser humano y cultura es nuestro arte, nuestras obras y nuestras acciones.
    Saludos desde el D.F a usted y a Thor.
    Pd.: Si entre la votación pudiera estar ezio's family y ganar la sería increíble.

    I believe the harp like instrument is imitating the clarsach, which is very old in Scotland. It's somewhere between a lyte and a harp and usually it's what all the younger students in schools will start out on before moving to a full size concert harp. :) It's very common in old scottish music, along with flutes, fiddles and accordians. A flute and a clarsach would be used for ballad compositions, while a fiddle and an accordian would be used to up tempo compositions.
