「Nightcore」→ Cost Of The Crown

"These tears that burn my eyes are all the tears the queen can't shed." So beautiful 😢

i found it heavy on the heart, though light upon the head

Damn This says everything that a queen can't say. This basically proves people such as King, Queens, and people who is known around the world is still people within the heart no matter what status they have. Cause even though they are important they can shed a tear once in a while..

"... Reminds me of the freedom I gave up so long ago"

To be a queen is to be a servant. A servant to your people and a servant to their well-being. Your chains may be wrought of the finest gold, but it is chains nevertheless. (This is not my own. I read it somewhere else.)

This song is saying that a leader or ruler should be humble and serve the needs of the people. Sadly something that many leaders forget. But it is good to remember and keep in mind.

A princess walks in to a blacksmiths shop with her mother by her side She sees that the blacksmith has made a crown for her The princess asks how much for it? He says 1,000 gold pieces, and she says, well that's not so bad The princess gives him the money, knowing in advance it wouldn't be cheap and bringing a proportionate amount She pays and he hands over the crown but it is swooped away by the princess's mother The daughter asks, Mom why can't I have the crown? The mother responds with.... This crown will cost you more than money It will require you to make sacrifices To say things you normally wouldn't To do things only a coward or vicious butcher could This crown is a symbol of your kingdom and everything you stand for It will not just cost you 1,000 gold pieces But a lifetime of servitude and pain as well I hope you know and understand this well my princess, for one day you will wear this crown And have to take all the burdens that comes with it - the princesses diary

It sounds sort of medieval. But it's also very calming and Serene at the same time I like it

so this song is beautiful. i adore the message behind the song and i believe that this is what people should hear if they think it'd be awesome to be a queen. Being a queen is hard work, and as it says, it's heavy on the heart. absolutely beautiful! i love it!

Not usually my style of music, but this is really beautiful and I'm gonna write a story abut this...

Someone needs to make an animatic of this...also I wish Disney would make a queen like this

The original song sounds like an old queen thinking about the times she was free but this version sounds like a young queen regretting the decision to become queen just days ago. To be Queen is to be a rare bird in a jewel encrusted cage but to be a villager is to be a common bird free to go wherever whenever. Being Queen, you need to make hard choices like sending soldiers to the battlefield "to danger and to die" Being Queen is harder than what people expect, they expect the Queen to sit and order servants around but what they don't know is that they have the freedom that the Queen doesn't have. 'You never know how important something is until you lose it'

"With willing minds, and loving hearts, go straight to grasp the fire." When hearing this, someone might think of the phrase 'if you play with fire you're going to get burned' but that is NOT what is happening. This is men and women throwing themselves upon the flames of war with their heads held high, knowing they will die. On some level, we all want to be the ones with hearts strong enough to do the same. And to be the one forced to watch as this happens, helpless but to continue sending more, that is torture. We all love the tragic Queen, but she hates herself. Long lives the Queen. Short lives her heart.

Im getting a king Arthur vibe from fate stay night if you take into consideration her wish/reason for wanting the grail

"They know and they forgive doing more than i require with willing minds and loving hearts go straight to grasp the fire" perfectly describes a loyal knights realationship with their queen

This song is written by Mercedes Lackey and is written about the fantasy books "Heralds of Valdemar" series. You REALLY should all read them (Arrows of the Queen, Arrows Flight, Arrows Fall are the first three). They are just AWESOME BOOKS! (Listen to Battle Dawn for the *REVENGE RAGE*).

Blue eyes and brown hair together are so pretty! I only have the somewhat typical brown eyes and brown hair, but meh 😂😆😂
