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 matter 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 have recently made a very good experience with collaborating with other artists and am now - carefully - open to requests. Please note before sending me a request that any agreement will have to assure me a high level of control and independence over the composing process and certain copy- and intellectual rights over any composition that has been created on request (this entails for example that I can still upload and sell any music that I composed for a given project). 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! =)

This song is already a bit older, I don't really know why it took so long to finally show it. It is quite a special song for me because I tried to express a very deep topic... As you know I'm from Switzerland, and Celtic culture has its birthplace right around this region, in the center of Europe. My country has therefore been inhabited by Celts for millennia, most notably the Helvetii. Sometimes when I walk through forests or mountains here I get this very powerful thought inside my head that my ancestors have seen the same forests and mountains 3'000 years ago. I don't really know how to describe why this thought touches me so deeply, but it does. I find it incredible that the eyes of an ancestor from 3 millennia in the past have seen the same mountains and lakes as I do now, and I often wonder how they thought and felt and lived. Celtic culture has now been a big part of my life for years and through all the songs that I make I constantly try to come closer to understand them - and ultimately to understand who I am and where I came from. Anyway, thank you for reading my monologue, I know this probably means much more to me than to you, but I really wanted to share this. =) You can get the song here, together with all my other music, the song number is 306: adrianvonziegler.bandcamp.com/album/the-complete-discography You can also support me and my music directly on Patreon if you wish: www.patreon.com/AdrianvonZiegler

someday we will come back to where we should belong

Adrian, this music not only tranported me to the days of my ancestors, but I could SEE it in my mind's eye. I am a disabled US Navy veteran with severe arthritis throughout my body, but when I close my eyes and listen to your hauntingly beautiful music, I'm carried away for a moment. Thank you for sharing your immense gift with the world!

🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Love from Ireland. So proud of my heritage. Such a mysterious beautiful history we have. No wonder game of thrones and star wars were filmed in Ireland. It's the perfect place with such a magical feeling. I love my country. ☘️☘️☘️

I like Celtic Music

As I walk past the trees that sheltered the rain and sun for my elders, the pond that saved many, the animals that provided the materials and food. I see it, the Woods-worth grove. I feel something warm inside of me empowering me to walk forward, I feel surrounded by those familiar in blood and presence. I feel home.

As a child of the Celtic diaspora, here in North America/Turtle Island, we were sent far away from our ancestral roots to grow, settle and thrive elsewhere in the world. I have grown up with a mix of Scottish ancestral music and First Nation traditional drums and songs. We are the life lines of our ancestors and the 7 generations to come. I still sometimes feel like a wandering spirit but your music and the drums of my local elders are guides to deeper reflection on what ancestry and belonging means. Thx for the music.

Whether it's Norse, Germanic, Celtic or pre roman briton that runs through my veins, I feel a deep connection to the british isles, to the nature, it's history, its cultures and therefore this kind of music. It brings a deep focus and content to the soul, like I'm at peace, where i should be, and I have found my true nature. To return to this simple way of life and to disappear into the forests and live free once more. Connected.

When there is genuine love, interest and true inspiration involved in the making of the music, it shows. And it really does here. An epic piece of music.

This song taught us how to respect someone that passed away especially our ancestors

Im from Spain, and i have galician ancestors. Your music makes me feel travel to ancient times and really feel i walk with them in the forest :). Wonderfull song adrian, you have the autentical celtic soul

la música celta me encanta desde la primera vez que la escuché... hace años :) . Con esas melodías se puede meditar, imaginar.

Thank you for honoring our Celts ancestors. Proud to be a european pagan. Hail Lug, Taranis, Teutates, Cernunnos, Epona.

the ancestors are always with us. really nice piece.

Your video image is what I imagine when I think of the Afterlife. Walking among the animals under a canopy of ancient trees with music like yours wafting on the breeze. Thank you for sharing your wonderful music.

I'm from Brittany in France and we are aslo from the Celtic culture here, we were Celtics before being French and I always felt more Celtic than French honestly so it was a real pleasure to walking with the ancestors by this incredible music! Thank you so much!

I am a direct descendant of Celtic Ireland and the Picts of Scotland. This music touches me really deeply, I've always wanted to be with nature. Walking with bears, boars, foxes, rabbits and birds. So beautiful.

I IMMEDIATELY FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT!!!!!

Haunting and beautiful at the same time. Takes you to another realm

I wish I could meet a ghost of my ancestor from a few hundred years ago and just talk with him a while

You have an illyrian name! Our ancestors were neighbours and we also had tons of cultural similarities, even some wars between tribes. Adrian is the name of one of the most important illyrian tribes later to become a state, recognized by the romans in a lot of positive ways. Greetings from Albania bráthair!

My Mother used to say when you hear the call of the wild go and help Nature, This takes me back to Nature Keep safe in our Beautiful Planet Be proud of your Heritage in this world 2021

This music sings to my DNA.. long for the homeland:(

your sounds are always for me something awesome, I am a girl lost in the time, i'm not born in the good century, i dream of castles, kings, vikings, elves dragons and magic. Your sounds just give me the illusion of being in my dreamed world. Thanks you

Dear Adrian I read your monologue and i just want you to know that i feel the same thing as you. Every time i walk on a landscape, i can't unthink myself that maybe from millenia ago, my ancestors were seeing that same landscape that im seeing now. Thats why im in love with your music, because everytime you put a music on youtube, there is always a part of the world in it, a part of history, and a soul who lived so many lives. Like a human, man or woman, who can see his other past life. through my eyes, i can see what my ancestors saw on that landscape. and maybe it was me then. we dont know XD. but I digress of what i was saying. i hope you read this. i know you read a lot of ''Love letters'', if i write you, its simply because i understand you and im sharing you thought that i found so beautiful and you put it into music, its an appreciation that im sharing, and once again, im in love with that piece. Please, continue to share pieces of the world through your music. Thanks

I am a German living in Japan. I can totally relate, having roamed through German and Japanese nature, and appreciate the openness of heart you convey what moves you in song and word. Exactly that is what makes your music so touching. So far away from (one) home, it reminds me of my roots. Thank you for sharing :)

I love Celtic music very much because of my ancestral and cultural heritage of Wales.

I love to listen this masterpiece. I'm still alive during corona pandemic. It's 3: 41 night in Dhaka, the capital of country Bangladesh. here all the educational institutions are close from march. But still no curfew, no lockdown. we still survive. it's 18 December, 2020. Friday.

Closing my eyes I'm transported back in time to the forests of Ireland. The home where my ancestors fought so bravely at Castle Donegal

I listened to this song so much when reading the Silmarillion for the first time that now this song reminds of the stories from that book every time I hear it.

I love this song and your thoughts on walking in the same forest as your ancestors This music inspired me to write a poem, although I cannot share it for fear it will be stolen.

Love that change at 2:51. In my country we still call Switzerland Helvetia and the Swiss Helvetoi, I think it's similar in Irish...

This song reminds me of an old friend, who was alive at the time you made this old song. I believe she too would've loved this kind of music. She was really into Zelda, Lord of the Rings, and all that fantasy stuff....And I wish she was still here...although she passed away years ago, I will always picture her walking with her ancestors, through the forest...And as I listen to your music, more and more, it inspires me to write, more and more...thank you Adrian...Va a'raan, lo shtar...(my fictional Elven language for, "All is good, my friend", from one of my fantasy stories)

the Celt is deep in you , salute and respect from Australia brother ,,,ive been away from thy roots too long but never will i forget thy forefathers

I think about that a lot... how many people walked this path hundreds, thousands of years before me. Did they also love the scenery of the mountains? What were their lives like? Existential questions. I have no way of explaining myself but to make music about those feelings. It's fascinating...

I'm Chilean, and I really really love and enjoy listening to your music. I can perfectly understand your feelings with the nature, bcz most of the time I can feel the same way here, in my land. I really appreciate your culture in all the ways that it involve. Thank you very very much. Greetings :3

I have studying the Celtic culture my whole life I am a very long lines of celts I really appreciate what u have done truly inspirational

Every time I listen, I get goosebumps and am always calm 🍀⛰️✨

So Beautiful music

A Celtic soul indeed, it feels like revisiting those same landscapes 3000 years ago doesn't it?

Dear Adrian, I hope you take a few seconds to read this, I also feel the same as you, your songs transmitted me a lot all these years in what I follow here on KZfaq, the truth that I feel a Celtic in the depths of my soul my heart is excited, happy I do not know, I have no words for this but your music is leading me to a new destination a great way to nature, I'm 17 years old and I love nature, especially plants, unfortunately not yet I was able to find someone with my tastes ... maybe my ancestors were also Celts or something similar, my paternal family, my grandfather for example was from Poland, although I did not know if they lived Celtas in that place haha, I'm from Argentina, sorry for me I'm learning English. Cordially greetings

Voices without words. Our story in sounds without sentences . Wild and true. The past is not passed, the passed are now us. Through the echo of our ages, our truth will join us again. This time. Never to be lost. Dear friend. Skál. 🍻💛🎩🚬🌷🍀

My eyes are literally watering. I do not know how to express it at the moment. I'm not getting enough sleep because of depression and anxiety, listening to it is such a great relief. Sad how we're missing on such simple and beautiful things available in nature.

Просто неймовірна музика. Слухаю і зачаровуюся. Ніби справді гуляю з предками.😉😉😉

I'm sorry I am just hearing this now! Absolutely beautiful 💕

I am an Irish Gael, with my ancestry being 99.3% Celtic and a pure bloodline since this music touches my soul. Makes me more patriot than ever and a bit sadden by the state our Europe is in now, i believe our ancestors are always within us and will be by our side when the time comes. To all my fellow mainland celts and those in the UK, Wales & Scotland I love you all, long live the Celtic breed!

Feel so drawn to this music. I'm a SA Hindu Asian and this music has the callings of the past ancient times I somehow feel like I belong in those times. Beautifully composed. Shout out to all Celtic believers

This guy is a genius, seriously. To do songs like he does without any support from music theory, just awesome.

My ancestors came from many different European peoples, including the Anglo-Saxons and the Norse, but I know that a significant portion of them were also Celtic. I suppose that might be part of why I find this music powerful. Thank you once again, Adrian.

You should not think that these thoughts mean more to you than us. Your beautiful music is best evidence of your thoughts and makes us understand your thoughts. it sets your listeners in that same feeling you are trying to communicate. Thats what happens when music works...it speaks even louder where words end. My language becoming some kind of poetic is best proof of your music settling on my mind. Be proud of yourself and walk further on your path as it is a good path.

I’ve always loved Celtic music growing up. Strange pull towards Ireland 😍

Adrian, I just want to say that your music is very inspiring and I'm constantly listening to it. Every time I'm listening to it, it reminds me of nature and I love nature. Your music will forever be a part of my life. 🌙

It makes me feel connected to my Celtic part. 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 maybe, we shall reunite, with God or with our ancestors for the next life.

I had a dream yesterday... I was wandering around in a magestic forest, and the forest began to get thicker and more and more trees were spawning closer and closer till I got killed by squishing inside the woods. It felt good and nostalgic,... I woke up crying

Adrian, you don't know how much I feel you celtyckich roots when I listen to your celtic music. From my roots I am a Slav and I feel it.... sometime when I just want to be alone I listen to you music.... You don't how much I feel then connected to you roots. Keep the fire burning. Make your ancestors proud!

My imagination just went to an uncharted realm, full of fantastic adventures in the making. Wonderful song, Adrian!

Again, another masterpiece. Listening to songs like this give me inspiration and touch my heart; I wonder how many stories could be behind a song like this. I loved it!

This is the music I listen to while out in the forest, the history, the emotion, the absolute immersion of nature entering my soul with this song hits me to the very bottom of my heart... anyone else feel the same? Anyone else want to have a quest? A true adventure? A journey of loss and fulfillment is what I yearn for when I listen to this.... to our ancestors!!!

I was born in America, but I have family members from all across Europe, so this really clears up and shows what my ancestors probably would have thought or felt. Nice work Adrian!

This music fits so good to D&D background music sessions.

I love listening to this kind of music 😍

It's so beautiful to see the others comments about how they feel so connected with their ancestors. But when it comes to me, I just feel like a lost, broken child that has been abandoned in the woods and forgotten... I don't feel any strings connected to my history. My family were migrants who traveled from today's south Germany and west Polen to russia and back. Some also traveled to canada and stayed there. But I was born into this land into a family without any roots or stability. There's so much broken about my inner child, so when I close my eyes I just feel a pair of arms around me that hold me close and I like to believe that it's the baby my mother lost before she got me. I have half sister but no "real" siblings, so this angel sibling is the only string that belongs to me. I like to think that this angel sibling is watching over me and being my guardian angel... I need this hope to stay alive...

This song should be placed in a museum...

Thanks Adrian i am also of celtic descent i find your music has a very deep and wonderful meaning to me i hope to see more of your work later this year

Magnifique

My heart is traveling now....it is dancing, dreaming, Adrian, thank you so much....

creativity at it's finest!!! ,,,your celtic music is very inspiring.. Thank you Adrian Von Ziegler

Adrian, your songs literally make my heart beat harder when I listen to them. Some powerful, some very sad, some inspiring. But always marvellous and delicious to hear. And your humility about your talent is just so inspiring.

Adrian, your Celtic music always hits me in a different way than all your other beautiful music..... I don't know how to explain the feeling.... It makes me feel like I'm home. My father was from Ireland but was adopted over to the U.S. as a baby, never having seen Ireland myself, this is as close to home as I can get.... Thank you.

So beautiful......and even more rare that you bring up your ancestors and how they must have been......some people go through their entire lives without any notions of these thoughts... Thanks for sharing...🙏✌🎹⚓😍

All hail the Celts!!! This music is truly magnificent, stirring and exquisite. The sounds of the bagpipes used to be kind of eerie and used to scare me . But when it’s blended with other music it’s awesome. I love your music, stirs up my soul, and the rising Celtic influences flowing through my veins. Celtic Rising!!

This gives me chills...and the picture is too good!

As I walked through it all, every place they've been and lived. I stopped to talk with the one's that were once of myself. They asked why it was for me to come back. My answer was simple. To walk with my ancestors.

Adrian , thanks for existing and putting this to our world.

This music is AWESOME!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing this, it is truly sacred!!

Beautiful music as always! So enchanting and magical.

I was listening to your music while studying for school, and you suddenly uploaded something new! Thank you! I always study with your music, it helps me concentrate

I'm from America and this music has no overwhelming influence over me or my culture, but I still think it sounds dope.

I love this atmosphere very much

Your music is taking me into fantasy land .

Just wonderful!🎶🎵🎼🎵👍❤🥰❣🌷

Adrian, thank you for your explanations which add a must to your song.

You are the best . Your music is like a world . Like a dream .like something I want to hear for the rest of my life

Deine Musik läuft bei mir immer im Hintergrund wenn ich zeichne oder bastel 😀 Das ist so schön 🙋🏼‍♀️

Wie immer geil zum runterkommen

I can't express how amazing and beautiful your music is you are an amazing person and thankyou for bringing such a forgotten music back to us

Deine Musik rührt mich beinahe zu Tränen! Danke dafür, es ist wirklich *mal wieder* ein Meisterwerk!

That old man looks like Merlin.......

This is truly a masterpiece! It helps me get my mind ready for the day, everyday! Thank you

no word in this comment could explain the feeling i have when i am listing to Adrian von ziegler's music simply breath taking and very inspiring, imagination inducing .... thank you adrian

Listening to your music with closed eyes never fails to take my lonely soul to somewhere far away from reality

Magnifique, ça prend aux tripes, ça raconte une histoire ! ♥ An amazing, stuning work Adrian ! Thank you for this !

This music is so different. I've never heard something like that. It's so beautiful

THe grace in this song my gosh

Every time I listen to Celtic music I feel that my Celtic ancestors are here and watching over me.

Wooooooow, that's amazing, man! The place you live seems so beautiful! I really would like to live on a place like that. Forest, rivers, the kind wind and snow... It seems just like a deep dream, or a deep history , which I want to realize some day. Thanks to share it with us! You are aMazing, and also is your talent, your gift. Thanks, I really love all your songs.

one of my dreams is read your future book on my couch while i'm listening your music.. ,that would be amazing

So powerful, I love it, oh my good I can't stop listening to it thanks for that, thanks for all your musics

Absolutely soul stirring making the blood in my veins dance with remembrance! Bravo!
