This isn’t just metal... This is skyforge steel!

Enemies in the game: Why do I hear boss music? Dragonborn: Oh shit, here we go again.

Fun fact about this song. The original is called The dragonborn comes and a version of it plays during every single dragon fight, even the final fight against Alduin. The lyrics are mainly in Dovah, the language of the dragons created for the game. The lyrics describe the one thing the dragons fear, the one that can actually kill them permanently. The song isn't Boss music for when you fight the dragons. The song is Boss music for when the dragons fight YOU. Edit: Ok so plenty of people have kindly corrected me on the name of this song. The fact it plays when you fight the dragons and Alduin is still accurate though. Thank you to everyone who helpfully corrected my mistake!

Me: Re-Install Skyrim PC: "Okay!" Me: *INSTALLING 1000+ MODS* PC: "NOT OKAY! NOT OKAY!" Also Me: "See you in Sovngarde!"

When you hear this music you know you shouldn't have killed that chicken

Not even skyforge can recreate this metal

Me : *Buys Skyrim* KZfaq algorithm : rise and shine Dragonborn.

Me: *Me falling asleep after listening to the orig countless times* Me: *Wakes up after hearing something new* Jonathan: Hey you, You're finally awake.

- Skyrim? After all this time? - Always.

*what it feels like to beat the game on legendary with only iron armor*

Novice Apprentice Adept Expert Master Legend *Dragonborn*

"I need to ask you to stop. That...playing is making people nervous." "I used to be a rockstar like you, then I took a drumstick to the knee" "Let me guess. Someone stole your cymbal

Skyrim fans: nothing could make the Skyrim theme better! These guys: hold our mead...

Alduin: "No one can stop me! I am the first born of Akatosh!" Level 3 Dragonborn: "Hold my beer."

No matter how high your smithing level is... you wouldn't be able to forge this kind of metal.

I have spontaneously grew a magnificent beard and a sword has appeared at my side. This is the power of music.

My veins are literally bursting at the seams with adrenaline right now.

And I thought Skyrim's theme couldn't get any more badass. Glad to know I'm wrong.

Who still loves this cover in 2020 and still is in love with skyrim

It's incredible to think Bethesda literally made a completely new language for Skyrim. Let that sink in...

10/10 because you actually got the lyrics right. For some reason I memorized the lyrics, making it infuriating to listen to any cover that just slur out something that sounds similar. Your commitment is thus appreciated.

I could've sworn I was petting my cat, not Alduin...

can we just agree that almost everyone will do his 1000th skyrim playthrough after this song

when you’re level 100 and finally go to fight Alduin

Me: The "Dragonborn" theme is perfect! You can't possibly improve it!" Jonathan: *Hold My mead...*

Jonathan, as someone that grew up playing piano (my mother was a concert pianist and USO girl in the 40's and 50's), I deeply appreciate your musical talents. I cannot give enough praise to do you justice. I showed my mom, who is 92 years old and actually had quite the voice back in the day, your music videos and she was quite impressed. Her words, "You watch this young man. He is going to go places." My entire family, from my mom down to my 10 yo daughter, who also sings, follows and looks forward to your next cover. Oh, my daughter also begged me to ask. How many instruments do you actually play???

A song you cannot understand, yet will listen too on repeat by different people for more than 10 years straight. *A true legend.*

Headphones: The volume may harm your ears at longer usage would you like to turn it down? Me: No, I don't think I will.

Jonathan Young used to be an average person like you, but then he took an awesome to the vocal chords.

Darkbrotherhood door: what is the music of life? Me : ......... *Plays this *

The only reason why those 2.1k people disliked this video.... Is because they took an arrow to the knee

I'm glad you kept the dragon tongue lyrics

Even Eurlond Grey Mane can't forge this metal.

Looks like somebody learned the Fire Breath shout, because this is LIT

This is the only cover that truly encapsulates the unrelenting, unstoppable, unwavering, and incomprehensibly badassness of the Dragonborn.

WOW finally someone who's really singing it with all his voice and emotion and not removing dovahzul part, well done guys you and sabina zweiacker are the best covers

Skyrim dungeon guide: 1.Find a Dungeon 2.Play the song on loop 3.Feel the energy rush through you as the draugr taste your blade

IT ONLY TOOK ME SEVEN HOURS TO GET HERE BECAUSE LYDIA WOULDN’T MOVE OUT OF THE DOORWAY AND I DIDN’T FEEL LIKE FUS RO DAH’ING HER OUT OF THE WAY. Besides that I totally love this and have been awaiting. Love the colabs with Caleb.

I always hearing you when i play. I love your voice. Lyrics: Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin Naal ok zin los vahriin Wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal! Ahrk fin norok paal graan Fod nust hon zindro zaan Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal! Huzrah nu, kul do od, wah aan bok lingrah vod Ahrk fin tey, boziik fun, do fin gein!

Ahrk fin norok paal graan Fod nust hon zindro zaan Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal!

The tune of Skyrim is legendary .. it takes back in time to 2011.. no game music can ever reach that level

My cat just listened to this, now he's a Khajiit!

Mad fucking respect for singing this in Dovah.

I just realized who needs to cover this song live as an in concert only thing, Judas Priest, to be immediately followed by Halls of Valhalla

2021 and still my favorite cover for this theme! even modded it into my games files to play during fights with dragons!

I used to be a song artist like you. Than I took a arrow in the guitar

I need to ask you to *STAHP.* That... *SHOUTING* is making people nervous.

been watching this over and over since the day it was released. no cover has come this close to this one man this is PURE POWER

Listening to this yet again. The instrumental breakdown is still my fav part

✌❤🤘

Any dragon would shit himself if he heard THIS as a fight theme. And he would immediately subscribe to John to hear even more of such PERFECT PERFORMANCE. FUS, my brothers, amen.

:Me: *Running from two dragons because i forgot Healing Potions* :The Soundtrack deciding to be Smart with me: 0:35

This has got to be one of the best Skyrim covers like ever.

This version is approved by Parthurnax.

Our hero,our hero named Jonathan Young I tell you,i tell you more covers out come With a Voice wielding power Of the ancient Nord art Believe, believe, The Jonathan comes

If you know any true sons and daughters of skyrim, tell them to like and share this version of the song! Ulfric Stormcloak wants to replace it!

This is war made into sound. Heart pumping

Welp, now to play another 600+ hours on Skyrim, see you 4 weeks

Not even Eorlund Gray-Mane could forge such METAL

Jon, You did a fantastic job with this. I had the honor/fun/killer time of singing the soprano part (super high) a few years back with the Pacific Symphony Orchestra, and I must admit that I wish you had been with us! You really did this one justice!

Epicness in clip and also in their voices.

1:55 That's when the goosebumps kicked in. This makes me SO happy. Especially knowing this song is special to you. You can tell that a lot of love was put into this! Thank you Jon and Caleb ❤

Just take a moment and imagine this song coming up everytime a dragon comes to battle . . . no one can comprehend the amount of badassery that can have.

The amount of energy and shivers u guys gave me... Made me feel like a legend... Epic song guys... Definitely earned a sub

I remember the first time I heard this cover, I didn’t know who this guy was but I knew that he was a badass rocker, and his original songs are amazing

A dragon is born.

Im a Serbian MMA fighter, I BOUGHT this song, it's the only song I ever bought and Im using it as an entry song to my fights. Thank you Jonathan, much support!! :)

Wow, I really like the energy and expressiveness in the singing! Great job guys! \m/

Jeremy Soule in 2011 :- I'm gonna compose something that will give even lazy people an adrenaline rush

The fly on my wall heard this. Dear God, now he's a dragon.

*Me after killing all the hold's guard and a leadgendary dragon appears* :

One of your best videos John. Great song, great tones, very visually interesting.

Jooooder, la piel de gallina. ¡Enhorabuena! ¡Buenísima versión!

Can't wait for the HD version of this cover, then the Switch version, then the VR version, then the version for next gen consoles, then the slightly updated but barely altered version...

my cat heard this through my speakers and now he constantly steals stuff off my desk

Oh this, this is beautiful. *I've looked at this for 5 hours now*

Thank you for the spotify link bro I was really hoping to find this on there!

But...there is one they fear...In their tongue is Jonthakiin...Metalborn!

You need to do Duel of The Fates from The Phantom Menace

This songs : *starts* Dragons : "ah shit here we go again"

Huh, never thought this song could be made even mor epic than it already is. Nice work!

After I beat Alduin, I drank all the mead in my inventory, and blasted this song.

my grandpa saw this, now he wrestles bears for fun

Best cover of this I’ve ever heard. Thank you!💖☺️🙏🏻

I love how you and Caleb do so many songs together. You two are my favorite duo. 💖💖💖

And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph's shout, Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray! Hearken now, sons of snow, to an age, long ago, And the tale, boldly told, of the one! Who was kin to both wyrm, and the races of man, With a power to rival the sun! And the voice, he did wield, on that glorious field, When great Tamriel shuddered with war! Mighty Thu'um, like a blade, cut through enemies all, As the Dragonborn issued his roar! Dragonborn, Dragonborn, by his honor is sworn, To keep evil forever at bay! And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph's shout, Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray! And the Scrolls have foretold, of black wings in the cold, That when brothers wage war come unfurled! Alduin, Bane of Kings, ancient shadow unbound, With a hunger to swallow the world! But a day, shall arise, when the dark dragon's lies, Will be silenced forever and then! Fair Skyrim will be free from foul Alduin's maw! Dragonborn be the savior of men! Dragonborn, Dragonborn, by his honor is sworn, To keep evil forever at bay! And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph's shout, Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray! Edit: Thanks for the likes peeps!

@Jonathan Young, my wife added this to our Labor of Metal playlist for when she goes into Labor (due Dec13). It’s on there with Wardruna, Brothers Of Metal, and a few other select pieces. This child will be born an epic Viking-metal warrior. Thanks for the jams, dude.

If Skyrim had any end credit scene, this would probably be the most fitting song for it.

I'm wearing headphones at max sound and I can still hear this masterpiece even after going deaf

Thank you for making this amazing song in another form also!

Now THATS a bard ill pay a few extra septims for!

This skyrim remaster looks pretty good

Most epic bowl if ice cream I've ever consumed

i love the fact that you wore the helmet in the video and that a true fan, I saw the tattoo, did a cover this amazing

Just in case you need to sing along and you don't know the lyrics yet Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin naal ok zin los vahriin wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal! Ahrk fin norok paal graan fod nust hon zindro zaan Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal! Huzrah nu, kul do od, wah aan bok lingrah vod Ahrk fin tey, boziik fun, do fin gein!

Is it bad that my dog turned into a dragon when I played this? Send help.

The fact I just barely heard or seen this video means I had to add it to my new dovahkiin playlist. Great job keep metal alive 🤟😎 🐉

I was searching for Dragonborn covers the whole evening and ended up here this is epic
