    Okay, immediately adding Skyrim music to my playlists, and the game to my "games I need to play" list ⚔Coming out of the gate with a C#1 subharmonic, we immediately get swept off into a land of myth and legend -- shoutout to VoicePlay for taking on this iconic video game theme, and giving us more excellent music to enjoy. Any other video game music (and/or covers of video game music) you guys want me to analyze?
    Also, PSA: I realized at now o' clock that I totally forgot my Pit Vipers for this one!!! Let it be known that Geoff earned Pit Viper status on the opening C#1 subharmonic! 🐍

    This is a great analysis of a great song. The language is Dovahzuul, or Dragon Speak, which was created for the soundtrack and the dragon you fight in the game. If you hear Fus Ro Dah, that means Force Balance Push, and is a shout called Unrelenting Force. The first Word of Power you learn, Fus, is in Bleak Falls Barrow when you retrieve the Dragonstone. This shout will send your opponents flying off of cliffs, so be careful when using all three Words of Power.

    As for the "audio engineering" bit on the high note, Eli and Omar are singing the exact same note, which in and of itself sounds unique and gives it that texture. I saw it mentioned elsewhere that Omar's voice was brought forward to be the more prominent voice at the climax of the high note. From what I've been able to gather, their voices weren't tailored much at all, just that Omar's voice was made prominent.

      I love how he does an arpeggio, then does the next inversion of it, goes back to the first, then the inversion again.
      (Basically he starts out (5)-1-3-5-8...etc. and then goes 1-3-5-8....etc. before heading back down to the starting pitch, then repeats )

    Geoff is often the bass guitar in many videos, and it's always so accurate, sometimes he ican be seen doing the fingering at the same time. Skills. Reactors who know the game are very impressed by this, as it combines the song from the game with the theme music of the game. Plus that they are singing in Dovahzuul and including the Fus Ro Dah, That really tickles enthusiasts. Interesting note: that chainmail shirt on Cesar weighs 20 lbs. He had to keep lying down on the floor between shots as it hurt his shoulders so much. That's dedication.

    • @thunderpriest7418
      @thunderpriest7418 Před rokem +8

      In the original video, it is easier to see that the part in question is being sung by both Eli and Omar. That is why it sounds like it has a different timbre and was engineered. You are hearing the notes doubled, and not exactly identical. The blend sounds wonderful.

    Amazing reaction and analysis, as always! I may be entirely wrong, but when Eli’s voice “shifts” at the climax, I assumed when first listening that Omar actually took over that note. It sounds more like his voice and tone (hence why it suddenly sounds so different), but I’m admittedly ignorant on most of the technical aspects. So again, I’m probably wrong, but just a thought.

She even recently had a Mandolin specially crafted to do her music. She recently did a remake for the Skyrim Anniversary) Peter Hollens also does several of Skyrim's songs with her and solo. His solo cover of this is beautiful. His cover of the Skyrim theme with violinist Lindsey Sterling is epic.

    Skyrim is very much still alive due to the mod community and they basically just released an anniversary edition last November since the game turned 10 years old.
    They have taken two songs and mixed them together, all the melodic parts with the dragon language is from a different song called Dragonborn, which is the main theme. Listen to that one, that one is a banger! The dragonborn comes is a tavern song sung acapella in the games

    I absolutely love your reactions... not only do you have maybe the best technical breakdowns I've seen, but, like... I could just listen to your voice all day. So perfectly rich and sonorous. I don't suppose you've narrated any audiobooks? I could listen to the entirety of [Twilight/50 Shades of Grey/Whatever popular books it's cool to hate these days] to just enjoy your voice.

    A month late on this analysis, but what they did to extend the music was combine two songs from skyrim. The 1st and 3rd parts of the song (english) was Dragon Born Comes which is a song you can hear in taverns in the game. The Dovazhul part is actually the games MAIN title screen music: Dovakhin. Dovahkin is a 3ish min song normally, but they only took the main part of it and added it to the 1st song. If you ever decided to check out the music in the game, i would recommend listening to Dovakhin.

    Probably already answered some time past, the tattoo is GoT, "There is only one god, and His name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: 'not today'," Syrio Forel said to Arya during her training. Also in slaying the Night King.... and countless memes across the interdragonet.

    Your tattoo is of Needle, Arya Stark's sword, with the defiant quote from Arya's swordmaster teacher about dying - "Not today." 😊
    I like the detail you went into with this cover - and can only imagine how much more you'd have added if you also had knowledge of the Elder Scrolls/Skyrim game world this is a tribute to. It's been huge fun watching reactors who are also true Skyrim nerds completely squeeing out to the references within the song - big, strapping men practically bouncing up and down with glee in their chairs will never get old!

    Geoff and VP do occasionally add sounds that are not made by human voice... like Ceasar shaking the shackles in Hoist The Colors or Geoff tapping the sledge hammer with something metal in 16 Tons or a trunk lid slamming in House Of The Rising Sun.

  • @michaelcooper5677

    Actually there are two different songs "Dovakin" which is the game intro and heard sung in the Dragon Language and second "the Dragonborn Comes" which is sung in taverns throughout the game. It is the second that receives most covers and many are quite good. There may be other covers where both are sung but I have not heard them. That might explain the time difference you noted. It is a great version of both songs. You were spot -on with your comments about bass range. When I was in choir I was referred to as a bass except by the true basses :) I was actually a baritone but they never had enough basses so while I could not reach the lower parts of the range for most songs that we sang my range was sufficient. Good review I enjoyed it.

I love listening to your reactions esp a group with the caliber of voice play that as of yet in many places is still unknown. In fact you introduced me to them. Nice ink btw unsure about the sword but the quote is definitely Arya GOT. I love voice play's theatrics. It's quite odd to have you stumble in your analysis makes you more human however. We need to get you a new camera with a bigger battery.

    The language ( as I'm sure others have pointed out) is the language of the dragons in Skyrim. They are words of power and when dragons fight, they basically shout at their opponent. "Fus RO Dah" is a Shout of unrelenting force, meant to knock, cripple or disable an opponent off their feet. As both a gaming geek and past cathedral choir bass( Always dreaded Easter and Handel's Messiah after the first service my voice was done., and knowing one more service to go though I did love Air for Bass-I just ran out by the end, was that Handel being ironic?) I totally appreciate the analysis from a musical perspective.

    Thank you for sharing your reaction and impressions. This version is truly amazing and I can't stop listening to it being astonished by their arrangement.
    Regarding your points you mentioned about languages in Skyrim and also Tolkien's Lord of the rings: First, the language sung here is called the dragons' language and it's based on Norse language. Even their letters are based on an ancient rune system. Second, Tolkien didn't create the languages "out of nothing". As a professor in Linguistics he knew everything about humankind's ways and habbits in language building. He was very much inspired by Old English, Old Norse and other forms of Skandinavian languages so he collected all of his language science based knowledge and united phonemes/morphemes and letters, some in their original form, some changed based on certain grammatical functions. The same the developers of Skyrim did. It's not magic, it's just science and being inspired.

  • @janetdw
    @janetdw Před 2 lety +1

    I am not familiar with the game so I’m going by what other reactors have said, but at about 25 minutes in, you talked about the length of the piece. From what I understand from the gaming community, they actually did a mash up of the Skyrim theme for the main game and the Dragonborn Comes saga. So it’s not really all one song but parts of two songs. I might be wrong about that but I know I’ve heard that from two different gaming reactors so that might clarify things a little.
    Layne can also really get low tones and I think that the sort of thumping noise that we hear might be Geoff and Layne both giving us one of those really really deep tones and a lot of reverb. I might be wrong but I know that I have heard Geoff do a sound really similar by putting his mouth almost on the microphone and just doing one of those breathy subharmonics. I know Layne has done something similar but I can’t remember how. reportedly he can do an inhaled phonation down to an A0. Maybe they combined that to get that noise.
    You are usually so specific and interested in being really accurate on your analysis that I had to laugh while you’re trying to juggle all those different key changes. It’s a pretty complex piece, I can tell that even though I’m not musically trained.
