That was beautiful, and she was beautiful. Two thumbs up. I'm going to imagine her singing about my Skyrim character from now on.

Autotune can be a skill, problem is i think she overused it abit. still really well done.
You guys really have no idea what you're talking about.

I don't know what's worse, thinking Autotune is a skill or thinking that she used it.

Where is this auto tune? I've listened to this a few times now, and I don't hear it.
Reverb, sure. But Auto tune? Where?
There isn't any. People are stupid.
Not only do you do my favorite contribution to this website, but you are one of the only contributors that I actually see posting in the forms. That earns you double points of awesomeness

I was posting in the forums before I was a contributor so it's only natural ;)

I don't know which is more beautiful, her voice or her face. Lovely rendition of the song, better than the bards in-game.

Do you know what autotune is? There's ZERO autotune used. Chorus and reverb, yes, but autotune, no. She's recording her acoustic guitar through the mic as well. This is all voice and talent.
I just had to let you know that your avatar is brilliant.

OT: That was a pretty nice cover. The feel to it was a lot better than what I felt when the bards in game performed it.

Dont hear any Auto-tune, I hear some reverb and effects in there to make it sound epic but no auto-tune, there is a difference between effects and auto tune y'know...
She used to use auto-tune, then she took an arrow to the knee. Now it's reverb all the way.

Nope. Sorry. Reverb killed it for me. Any talent that might have been there was obscured.

Does give me an idea though. If all it takes for Internet fame is to have a pretty girl sing Skyrim songs.....then I'm bloody glad I date an opera singer. I will be BACK!

Really feel like this version of the theme should be in the game somewhere. In the right place, it'd be really awesome. Really liked how I can clearly hear the dragon words in this version.

Also kinda thought about how alotta lady youtube singers and stuff might drop nerdy attributes to gain a greater following on the internet.

I saw this video this morning and had to suppress a pang of envy at how damn good she was, wondering how the hell I'm going to top it with my own Skyrim song.
Sample some old Candlemass tracks, have someone reading the sports pages from a gaelic language newspaper in the background and sing about taking an arrow in the knee.

I used to steal sweetrolls until I took an arrow in the knee.

Recently saw this on a Skyrim beautiful scenery vid on Youtube. Worked really, really well. Now on MP3 Player. Needs to do all bard songs.

Saw this on Twitter an hour or so ago, been listening to it over and over ever since! Fantastic work and beautiful voice!
The video description also states that a fan made a Skyrim mod to put her music on the main menu instead of the original!
Her song it's even better suited to the Skyrim main menu than the original... It's more calm like the menu is.
I fucking love it that song. Awesome female singer is awesome.
