Usage rights - please read: I’m posting the usage rights and important information about my music right here in a comment on every new video so that they’re easily accessible to everyone. =) USAGE: If your project (any project at all, movie, photography, websites, live shows etc.) is non-commercial, which means it doesn't earn you any money, then you can use my music for free. Only given credits are necessary, that's the only condition. Credits would be totally fine as a small text in the movie, website etc. written "Music by Adrian von Ziegler". In live shows and other projects where including a text would be difficult, an oral mention would suffice as well. =) On KZfaq and twitch you can also use my music for free even if you monetize your videos by the way! ANY school projects have automatic free permission to use my music, no license payment is required. If the project is commercial, meaning it makes money in any way (except KZfaq and twitch, see above), you would have to buy a license for the music you want to use. The license payment would be small in almost all cases except for big budget productions. It would be a one-time payment, so you can use the music you bought forever in that project. It does not give you any rights over the music however, so remixing the music, re-selling it etc. is not allowed. Giving credits is also necessary in commercial projects. Please note that "for free" only applies to the usage license. Music is my full-time job and is where 100% of my earnings come from. So no mater what you use my music for, whether it's commercial or non-commercial use, I appreciate that you purchase the music instead of downloading it for free. Many people misunderstand this part so I need to clear this up. I love making music, but if everyone would just get it for free I would not be able to pay rent, so please understand. It was always my dream to make enough money to survive with music being my only job, and that is only possible because of people who go and buy that music. Remixing, sampling and other forms of altering the original song into a new piece of music is also generally not allowed unless the remix is 100% non-commercial and labelled with the original title and author of the song (me). Adding bird noises, nature sounds or similar things are allowed. Nightcore alterations are also allowed while non-commercial and labelled with original title and author (Google "Nightcore" in case of confusion). So if your project is non-commercial or a KZfaq project, just give credits and there is nothing holding you back from using my songs. ANY song you want. =) If it's commercial stuff just write me a personal message or an email at adrianvonziegler@gmx.ch and inform me about the scale and details of the project and we'll make a deal. REQUESTED MUSIC: I generally do not accept offers to make songs on request or to write music for movies, games etc. One reason is that I can't handle it time-wise but even if I had the necessary time I would still stay away from it because I - quite honestly - don't really like to do it.^^ I basically make music to express whatever topic moves me, randomly. I tried it a few times but I have the best creativity and feel the most freedom and happiness when I do that completely alone and without being “employed” by someone. I hope that’s understandable.^^ Important: I do not allow my music to be used in any project that has a clear political, racist or discriminatory message or is pornographic. By that I mean anything that goes from direct political, racist or discriminatory videos or underlining speeches with my music, onto remixing my melodies into a song that has lyrics with clear political, racist or discriminatory message and similar things that clearly promote these things. Same goes for explicit pornography. Media with nude art is allowed, if not pornographic in nature and purpose. I hope you're having an awesome day, and thanks a lot for being interested in my music! =)

Celtic music is the ultimate reward for those who search enough.

me in 2013: wow, really awesome! me in 2019: wow, really awesome!! me in 2040: wow, really awesome!!!

I'm listening to this while studying Chemistry; now I'm an alchemist making potions in a secret room of a palace, working for the Royalty.

To all the beautiful souls reading this, I want to send you a message of love, hope, and support. No matter what you're going through, remember that you are not alone in your struggles. I wish for healing and relief from anything that is causing you pain or stress.♥♥♥♥♥♥

Adrian, thanks to your music, I can enjoy studying. I feel like I'm a Viking in a narrow sea, trying to fight sea monsters called maths.

I have never been this proud to be a Celt. And I have never been a Celt.

Finally a "celtic music" video that doesnt contain a 15 seconds loop for multiple hours. After so many endless hours on the open ocean i finally reached the promised land

when the dna test says you're 3% irish Edit: thanks, I didn’t thought I would receive so many messages of people sharing their DNA. I’m feeling like a scientist or something

i feel like i should be trekking across a meadow or something with Gandalf.

I remember when I heard this for the first time, I wasn't even 14. Now I'm 22 and I still come back to this, literally the best celtic music album I have ever heard in my life. I love your work

I'm a Persian female have no idea how Celtic music boils my blood. every single time I click on Adrian's songs to study with, I feel so excited and can't sit in the library! Wanna go out and accomplish something! If you are an undercover warrior you can relate!!!

2k dislikes ??? why ????? this is the best music ever .

I'm glad music exists. Beautiful, inspiring, epic, immortal. They give melody to a old world, a old universe. As Nietzsche told once: "Without music, life would be a mistake" Never stop making music, Adrian. You are doing a great work giving melody to life.

Can't believe i've listened to this masterpiece for over 10 years now. Thank you, Adrian, for contributing to so many of my most wonderful memories through your music.

"What we do in life echoes in eternity." What's to say that hasn't already been said? This music echoes into eternity. May it be known for as long as possible.

Me: *listens to this song while falling asleep* Also me: *woke up in the middle of the ocean on a viking boat*

I wanna go home

I used to listen other kind of music but once I took an arrow to the knee and began listening music by Adrian von Ziegler

Ich glaube, das hier berührt jeden von uns ganz tief innen, weil es den ältesten Teil unserer Seele, unseren Ursprung irgendwie zum Schwingen bringt. Ich liebe das und vergesse alle kleinen modernen Problemchen sofort, weil mich die Musik mit was viel Größerem verbindet...

I am Galician and we have also played the bagpipes since the XII century. It is the most wonderful sound in the world. I love all bagpipes and the Irish one is one of the best. The first song starts with one and I'm here.

This makes me wanna run somewhere far away and live alone in the woods.

This music makes me feel like a child looking into a world where dragons, warriors like the Vikings, strange creatures like Gollum and castles on top of great hills, all exist!

After 8 years, I still keep coming back to this one.

I've been coming here, on this playlist for 9 years since it was posted. It's my refuge on the worst days, it's the strongest trigger I have to disconnect from problems and remember other times. It's what pulls me out of depression. Thank you Adrian for this incredible work, it may sound silly but it's one of the best things in my life. My greetings, from Brazil

Industrialization and urbanization is great and all, but wouldn't life be amazing to live in a small cottage somewhere far away from civilization in Scotland, just being so free and so happy. I feel that that would be a life worth living.

It feels so nostalgic and I don't even know why

This is how the warrior rests mind, body, and spirit

Боже! Какая потрясающая музыка! Привет из Краснодара! Я армянка, но кельтская музыка трогает меня до глубины души! Браво!

As a fantasy writer, this is the only music that leaves me inspired to contiue creating my worlds.

People talk about Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Avicii, and other pop artists.. But you, Adrian, is a better musician than all of them. Thank you for making this fantastic music. It means a lot to all of us.

I was twelve when this came out and I never did forget the name "Adrian von Ziegler. I listened to this while writing my first D&D campaign, the first time I was enthusiastic about writing. It's been a few years, nearly a full decade. And I just got into my third D&D group, and I remembered precisely the mix that started me off. I think you were my first inspiration to even get into music. Outside of that, this is an incredible compilation of music. And giving a re-listen all these years later? It's phenomenal still. I was just casually going through my character sheet and then "Ride" came on and I got goosebumps for the first time in a couple of years. Hell, I still have chills right now twenty minutes later. Fantastic stuff my man. Fantastic.

J'ai pris une claque. Bravo Adrian von Ziegler, vous êtes le Hans Zimmer de la musique Celte !

I always come back to this, even if it takes a few years. It just calls for me. Edit: 2 years after and I'm still here, and currently learning Irish history so that's cool. (I totally knew this was Irish, yup)

I'm sorry but I have to say this This type of music is 10 times better than main stream music or the music heard on this radio (you all know the stations) its a beautiful fantasy

Greetings to all the celts from a Slav. Your music is great as always

The first song, Prophecy, always gives me a deep and intense feeling of nostalgia. It has for years, every time without fail. The beginning tune just strikes something inside of me and I don’t know what it is. It’s a gorgeous song, and the only song on this playlist that makes me feel that way. I do have lots of Celtic blood in me, so maybe it’s my intuition picking up on something I, or my ancestors heard many lifetimes ago. ☺️

i make love to this music. it inspires me to perform to my best 👍

this inspires my fantasy.....

I think many people on here can understand as to how therapeutic and soothing this music truly is. It helps us to relax, relieves us of stress, and sometimes even puts us to the mindset of getting work done, and I am grateful for this genre of music to exist. 🙏 Thank you, Adrian.

Greetings from Armenia🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲, the Fatherland of the Celts. Nine years ago, when I was reading Don Quixote by Cervantes, I turned on this work in a low voice and read the adventures of Don Quixote to the music. Thanks for fantastic music!!!

Despite War and Health Issues, the Middle Ages would be a great time to live. Think about it: so much of the world would have been untouched. No disgusting polluted cities, no cars or electronics, no bills, no schooling, no drugs, no politics, nothing but bliss happy living. Yes, it does have a few major downs, but nothing would be stopping you from running away to the middle of nowhere with family and friends and living off pure land (which you did anyway.) That is what God intended us to do, live off the land he gave us. Not ruining it.

Why can not we live in any magical, fantasy-like world? A world full of magical creatures, mages, bards, warriors, fantasy kingdoms and huge enchanted forests,... everytime I listen to a music like this, I feel empty that our world is far far away from the one I would love to be a part of. A place where we can go to an adventure, fight evil, visit taverns with friends, drink ale and play board games. I know that Celts were real but their music reminds me of a beautiful magical forests and so on. I like going for a long walks into the forest (mainly in autumn and winter) which is next to my house accompanied by my 2 dogs and listen to music like this. Especially when I want to escape from a real world full of problems, stress, responsibilities and study. With my headphones on I always imagine that I am walking in a fantasy forest and there are 2 "magical wolves" with me. :) Thanks for this music Mr. Ziegler and wish all of you guys the best :) sorry, english is not my mother language

Adrian..oğlum senin bestelerinle büyüdü. Sabaha kadar hiç kaptmadan seni dinlerken uyuyoruz. Ruhumuza şifa veriyor bu tını. Seni seviyorum.

Really good, I’ve been listening this beauty for 7 years! So many memories..

Go to sleep listening to this, then tell me what did you dream.

this guy is way too good for just some KZfaq musician. he could do soundtracks

I've been using this video for 5 years to calm my anger and sadness. Never said anything about it but...thank you for posting this gem

Aman Allah ım ne güzel bir müzik sanki binlerce yıl öteye gittim. 💖💖

I listened to this every single time I was reading The Hobbit. Now listening to this just reminds me of the amazing book.

You are one of my favorite channels on KZfaq!

44.5 million views on just this one video. Adrian von Ziegler is one of those quiet celebrities of the internet. You just... Know him. If you've poked around on KZfaq for a while, you've found his music before. You've probably listened to several dozen of his songs. You're likely subscribed and look forward to the next upload. Ziegler is just a legend. Best of luck to you for the future to come. Thors strength, Odins wisdom.

Well I’m proud to be a Celt

While listening to this I am drinking whiskey and exploring castles in google map :)

Please. Go to Bethesda and help them with the next Elder Scrolls soundtrack. Dude you'd probably make one of the greatest artists yet in the Elder Scrolls trilogy.

Now using this music for my church Bible study background music as I focus on the lessons and what not

Anyone who is reading this, you are special, you are in this world for a reason. Never give up on your dreams

Imagine this before your semester exams mates! This will allow you to scourge through that entire test!

My hair starts to braid itself while listening to this.

Greetings all. From Dublin Ireland.

When I was younger my dad would always play this music while we did something and he sleeps to it and so do I.and thank you Adrain for this wonderful music I listen to it every day

I write my Book,while listening

This is the music of my life!!!!! I've read in the comments section that Im not the only one feeling strange listening to celtic music. I am from Albania (in the Balkans) and I dont have the slightest clue if my origin is celtic or not, but I just feel home with this kind of music. Images of mountains come to my mind, fields with grass and flowers, people walking, children laughing, a bonfire, this music playing and me dancing around like crazy and HAPPY! I dont have much words for describing it! Im in awe =D Thank you for this masterpiece!

Dad, in less than 2 months it's gonna be 10 years that you're gone. I remember listening to that compilation in 2013 and througout the years, so many masterpieces! But "spring charm" clearly was made for you and I and everyone that hs been separated to soon from their loved ones. I love you so much and I miss you so so much, my only hope is to be able able to see you again on the other side! I try to stay strong and do my best to succeed because I know that's what you'd have wanted. Life is so beautifull and also so hard sometimes. I hope people can understand when they read this how important it is to show and say to people they love their feelings because time flies so much. Thank you for eternity Adrian, you are a genius! Merci pour tout Papa, je n'aurais pas pu rêver d'un meilleur père que toi et je sais que tu as fait le maximum que tu pouvais et c'est le plus important, je pense à toi très fort tout le temps et moi aussi je vais essayer de faire de mon mieux encore et encore. Je t'aime et je suis certain que je te reverrai si je vais au paradis

These songs make me feel like a fairy creature in the deep woods of Scotland and Ireland 🥰

Congratulations, from Terra Brasilis (Brazil)

You stand on the cliffs edge, this is your first day in the outside world, you have just become of age to travel the world. You left as soon as the day came, before anyone woke up. Armed with piddly armor and a shoddy sword, but you still feel invincible. THIS IS YOUR WORLD, GO CONQUER IT

I've been listening to this whole list of songs for more than 10 years now. Your music is brilliant and timeless. These exact songs have healed me many many times and I have these melodies stuck in my head forever. Be blessed, Adrian! 🍀💚

Thanks for this music Adrian. We live in a world that is beautiful but few seem to see it. They’re too busy looking at their phones but they’re totally disconnected The music you’ve made is alive. It is something that grounds me to the natural world, to magic and something more real than the media. It connects me to my dreams. Thank you man!!

Guys just close your eyes... and let your imagination do the work... this is splendid :)

My friends and i had many epic nights in which we played adventures in D&D with your music in the background. One of the greatest things you can do. Take a D&D Rulebook, gather your friends and some snacks, have some of Adrians music in the background and you have the recipe for a good time. The might not be the biggest part, but definitely an importent one. Greetings from Germany

Просто прекрасная музыка 💓привет из Сибири.

I am from india never visited nordic countries but this is what my ears always wants to hear,i find myself a connection with this music,...my hometown is where i always listen to this, ..thankyou adrian von ziegler what a name you've got❤️❤️❤️❤️love from india 🇮🇳

These songs make me want to make a whole game.

Need this in SKYRIM !!!!!!!!

I have never studied so easily. Thanks to this, my mind focuses all by itself. And at night, when I fall asleep listening to this, I see myself and everyone else here riding in enchanted forests, some praying to the Ancient Gods, others fighting Shadow Creatures... Thank you for all of this ^^

I’m African and Man do I love Celtic music it’s soooooooo awesome

To share with ya my story using a poor English skills may be isn't best idea but..) i'm russian studying 3rd year in Germany and you know being abroad i was often feeling melancholy. And i really enjoyed this mood, smoking a cigaret through my window in a small rented apartment, watching at the dark river in the night, which is near and listening to your wonderful music I don't believe in god, miracles, reincarnation and such thing but tonight i feel myself happy while listen this Celtic music, somehow i imagine i'm at home and it's not Russia, but Ireland where i have never ever been) Thanks bro for what you do

i always listen to this music when i'm studying :)

I remember I would always listen to this when I was 14. Now, I'm almost 21 and I find myself still coming back to this video whether it's to get inspired or to calm my spirit. This music is so special to me. Thanks, Adrian Von Ziegler

I swear I can't study without this compilation playing softly in the background, seriously have u tried studying the organic chemistry with Celtic music? Amazing, loving it, I think I have played it like 1000times during exams thank you

I don't know why but everytime im listen to this,@3:20 i can imagine how castles are build up in the middle age, how people dancing outside around the fireplace, green fields, the grass in the wind, knights on horses riding along, the feeling like my heart is going to explode in my own dream world

I would really love it if you could create a video this long with all of your Nordic music, your work is truly great.

Have been studying to this for 10 years.. Thank you!

best music ever

studying while listening to this is epic

this is rousing my 600 yrs of scots-irish heritage. sweet music mix

I Listen to this Since I am 19. 10years now. You are a part of my life sir. AND i just realized i never subbed.. Just did

Just found out. I'm Scottish Indian. Cherakee. Life is good God bless us all. Amen

Jesus, you composed this? Hella sweet music man. You should be paid for these works of art

The only thing I have to say is: I listen to your music on a daily basis. They really transport me to a very different point in time. It's really lovely. Congrats on your gift.

Even after 8 years, I can't get enough of your music. It heals me every night. Thank you for sharing your passion

Im pleased to see this has almost 50mil views. I wish it was more, because i think more people need to hear this beautiful side to my lineage and ancestry. Eirinn go Brach!!!!! ✊🏻✊🏻🍀🍀☘️☘️💚💚

Do you hear it ? Do you hear the forest's call ? Let's all get lost for some time in this beautiful world called imagination

Amazing just Amazing! we play music like this back in Freljord

I first listened to this soundtrack list when I was 12 years old, laying in bed every night with this chilly Celtic rhythm, now at the age of 27 I still listening to it while working home at night

Hard to believe this came out ten years ago. I remember finding it when it was still around a year old. So many DnD campaigns played to this video... A decade ago. Me and my friends were all different people then. Now we are men and women with careers and families. The memories remain and this music invokes all those feelings and stories. That's what this video is to me. Thank you, Adrian.

This music makes me want to paint my body with blue war paint and run naked in the woods.

I love listening to this while playing Skyrim. :)

my mom used to play this for me when i went to sleep, i love coming back to it, always flooded with memories of comfy sleep and good dreams
