What a shockingly different soundscape from Invincible. I love when this happens in music, it’s an amazing track.

It's not even a real language and I still can't help but shed a tear as soon as I hear the first line of Invincible.
i never did get invincible
The best thing Blizzard has EVER released. WoW today is a weak furry zoo compared to what it was in the old days.
This seems to be a theme in gaming. Whatever bumps the developers have along the way, the music and sound departments always knock it out of the park. This is my favourite theme probababy of all time.
I'm sorry but the mark was missed here. Whatever the modern lore says there was no horse originally when arthas became the LK. Both those prices of music are referencing a song from wc3.
This has always been a father mourning the death of their son to me. Which is a reversal if you know Arthas’s lore.
Its really mean to be heard with the wrath of the lich king video.
Should watch the cinematic of Arthas coming back into Lorderon from Warcraft 3…
I know this song from the time it was realeased.
But you showed me the background of this track I was not aware of, like the subtle moments related to the Arthas story.
Thank you man!
I always considered, from "Invincible" to "arthas, my son", was always something to be taken as a mental scape. (IF this makes sense, just follow along)
It's the inner turmoil he faces, memories of the past, of his horse of the times in the lands he came from (Lordaeron) and the joy he had. The Second part, "arthas, my son" leading into the fact he has to put aside his old self, doing what must be done (Even if he was corrupted at this point by the Helm and sword) and the sinister, uneasy feel was to convey the fact his entire vision he once had is now dead, cursed, and tossed aside. (Its odd, i know, and i play WoW)
nice video!
Slightly off topic and I apologise in advance, but damn you cute
I see the death of Invincible to have the same effect on Arthas that Shmi Skywalker's death had on Anakin in Star Wars. It's the tragic event that sets these heroes on the path of evil. Arthas swears that no one will die because of him, much like Anakin too wishes to have that control over death. But their desires cause them to turn against everything they stood for, with Anakin fighting his own master and Arthas sacrificing his men and almost killing a long time friend Muradin Bronzebeard.
The Lich King is pretty much fantasy Darth Vader
Please make a review of Culling of stratholme
This song is about Arthas reveling in his monstrousness, especially starting with him mustering his power in the middle…
And the world… his loved ones… are sad and then horrified when the bombastic part starts.
The accompanying cinematic shows that really well.
How WoW could have had one of the best redemption arcs in shadowlands or whatever is when Anduin was all Death Knight if what little flicker of Arthas' soul came to him and shown him what he has to lose and stuff bring the King of Stormwind back from Evil would be very Poetic but Blizzard hasn't written a good story since Wrath.
back when WoW felt grounded and amazing
Arthas story deserves movie triology
Would have made more sense if he watched the cinematic so he knew what was going on to some degree.
При каждом прослушивании данного произведения у меня на глазах наворачиваются слезы
He would bare any curse to save his people. Arthas did nothing wrong until he became a DK
Love it❤
Based on the back story, the intro is about sadness for the loss of Arthas who had a pure heart for the sake of his people and fell into evil.
Watch the trailer
Arthas my son is pervers sacarstic undertone. May he regin forever – even in death.
It themed as he had no actual choice from the second he was born. He had to sacrifice everything for a lifelong curse and in order to keep the world in peace he has to be stuck on a throne.
Yes he was heroic, but he was cursed from the very first moment as the wisps called out his name and knew his future.
This music is so much more impactful with the ironic narration that accompanies it in the cinematic.
I'm also really fond of the Warcraft 3 version of the song. It's such a cold, lonely track.
So, world of warcraft has a sort of "Fake Latin" that emerged to follow a lot of human themed music. It is in no way correct latin, because it likely arose from limited resources these companies had when the themes and settings were comprised in the early 90's. That being said it is… "common" as the language is referred to in universe has been translated(it is not a real language you can't actually translate and Rosetta stone it) , but I digress. This is a prayer to/for the king of Lordaeron.
"Long live the king,
May he reign…forever.
May his strength
fail him never.
First in battle
last in retreat.
Even in death…"
The song (or at least a part of it) was originally used at the very end of the Undead campaign in Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne when Arthas put on the Crown of Domination and finally becoming the Lich King. That made it way, way more nostalgic for people who played that campaign. Great callback to that for the Wrath of the Lich King cinematic.
You need to watch the visual as well, makes the music hit even harder
hi Marco from MarcoMeatball 🙂 Iam very happy, when you can say this music is amazing (+invicible song with Artas too) I like your channel. I wish you only best in your life (long life, happiness, for you, your family and your friends…. (I wish long live + happiness for every live creature =people+animals+trees too) in this world
Indeed verry good ! You get it right !
Long Live the King.
2:26 i mean- yeah its world of warcraft, what do you expect?
Gold times of the WoW and yet Blizzard.
spot on, he goes back years later to where his horse passed, to raise it from the dead with a sword that took his soul.
Frostmourn's Hungers
Daydreaming tomaaaaaatoes…..
This cinematic is a master class in mood and storytelling. Beautifully layered meaning. Beautiful composition. Masterpiece.
In the game, the WOTLK expansion, there's a quest chain where you meet the soul of Arthas' last bit of humanity, when retrieving his physical hearth which the Lich King himself removed and cast out of his being, since it was to much of an emotional burden. The ghostly boy, Matthias Lehner (an anagram for Arthas Menethil) guides you through the steps of retrieving and destroying the heart.
I think that the main verse in this song represents this single entity from Arthas' being cynically and tragically complementing his prophecized reign, but now alone cold and dead.
Arthas' story is in all regards tragic, burdened with the prospect of ruling, continuing his father's deeds after the events of the Alliance's success in the second war. Only to end up fighting a war against the plague he cannot win, whilst his people look to him for hope.
At the cost of everything, he did end up being king. Amazing arc
The cinematic this ost is from is what got me into WoW. While I technically made my first character back at the end of Burning Crusade it is Azeroth during WotLK that I gained my love for the setting through the eyes of my Blood Elf hunter. I haven't played that character since the end of Cataclysm but he's still in Northrend, retired while my more recent characters go on.
The first notes of the song somehow sound like ice and frigid cold
I especially like the current story thematics with Anduin Wrynn being a "what if Arthas undid his corruption"
Sorry brother. Arthas, my Son is the centerpiece of 20 years of gameplay
The lore for Arthas's fall. He went to the very ends of the world, and would sacrifice anything to defeat the scourge.
This tenacity would be his downfall when it led him to the runeblade, Frostmourne. The first soul lost to frostmourne was Arthas, and it gave vessel to the lich kings will.
in invicible its a hero call rising arthas in way be king but in mothers lament its diferent like cryiing and losing his soul to darkness
Please react to the Cinematic too! I'd love to see you hear the narration as well that accompanies it and the music in it
Dude, this song is only goosebumps and nothing more. My childhood. Me growing up. Arthas turning to the dark. This is the only music I really feel in my bones.
You need to listen to this with the voice over on the Wrath of the Lich King cinematic, this track reaches new heights with the cinematic.
wtf is this content get off my feed
