Stormcloaks? Must have been the wind. Dragons? Probably just my imagination. For the Skyrim Guard, life is easy as a stolen sweetroll... even if you take an arrow in the knee.

This animated music video took a lot of time to draw, and this heartfelt rock ballad itself predated It Just Works. But now it's finally time to share our The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim meme song with you, seasoned Dovahkiins.

No lollygaggin' now, drop a like and a comment!
If you do, the video will spread like a dragon fire in Whiterun.

    This guy is the embodyment of the phrase "Ignorance is bliss."
  • @oneqrazyabc3618
    It is crazy how a simple full-face covering helmet can be so expressive
  • @user-jo9bk7xo7n
    The fact Skyrim is still "4M views on parody song" popular after 13 years is insane. Love it, but absolutely bonkers.
  • @yuji5134
    I love how it went from "ignorance is bliss" to "you have no enemies"
  • @JustaGuy_Gaming
    If breaking out into an epic rock song doesn't solve all your worlds problems, your Bard level isn't high enough.
  • @aldgate
    I do genuinely believe you could stop at least one major medieval battle if you just went back in time with a full concert setup, grabbed a rock band and grabbed some local bards. If free beer was included
  • @RummerChan
    3:46 The dragonborn doing the Torture dance in the jail cell is a mood. lol...
  • @funnyvideoguy3216
    This was supposed to just be a song making fun of the stealth mechanics in Skyrim but omg this is powerful and inspiring
  • I can't believe they went an entire song without talking about arrows in the knee. Truly a masterpiece.
  • @ShadowVR2
    This man is the True Master of The Way of the Voice. So great was he, that even the dragons respected him and shared in his wisdom as they shout to the heavens.
  • @darkner2390
    That one guard is better at bringing peace to Skyrim than a dragonborn spamming the harmony spell.
  • @Gamer_Of_The_Day
    If Bethesda makes a Skyrim movie, we must have this song for the end credits.
  • @LegendaryFenrir
    Can we appreciate the wise and caring Whiterun Guard Mom? She knew life is sweeter than any sweet roll could possibly be
  • @MrPepperJams
    Crazy how much storytelling this 4 minute and 18 seconds parody song has in it. Actually makes me kinda want a small series centred around a normal guard living in Skyrim, maybe had dreams of becoming a bard?
  • @Ayurrf
    "Speech increased to 100"
  • @stickman207
    "The winds will pass, The kings will fall, We should stay strong cause life goes on!" Actual Fire
  • @firefox1223
    Such a banger. Did anyone else notice Todd Howard trying to sell skyrim at the concert?
  • I don't know how many times I have listened to this song nor how many times I've watched this music video, but I only JUST NOW noticed the Lusty Argonian Maid at 3:01. CHEEKY BASTARDS, Y'ALL ARE
