Lullaby of Woe (The Witcher) ~ Ashley Serena

- Опубліковано 25 чер 2016
- Witcher 3 is a masterpiece. The music alone takes my hand and leads me to another world. I love listening to it all in Polish (and even playing the game that way), but decided on English for this cover of the game's creepy little lullaby. I find it so beautifully ironic that a monster would be singing a song about a bogeyman... a Witcher, no less.
It was so entertaining to step into the skin of a witchy vampire, a Bruxa, and channel every creepy feeling I could muster. What you don't see is all the takes I ruined from blowing raspberries and bursting into laughter. :) I hope this song helps cool you off this summer with a few shivers and chills! ♥

People keep bashing on this video because it doesn't 'reflect' the song. Do you really think she'd be able to record herself in the nighttime atmosphere like in The Witcher? That'd be both dangerous and difficult. Especially in the woods. I think this video is beautiful and relfects the song well. Ashley Serena, you took this song to a whole new level and it is absolitely beautiful.
Thank you so much for your sweet words! ♥️ I filmed this in the early summertime, and I’m afraid where I live in the Pacific Northwest is much too green then for a ‘scary’ setting. But I do understand the concerns and critiques in the comments and am happy this game has such a passionate fan base. It’s a little hard when my ideas don’t translate well to others, but I am happy the vocals seem to be well accepted, and of course am grateful and thrilled when viewers DO like this interpretation of the song. Thank you again for your thoughtful and kind comment, it truly gave me a boost. ♥️
The reason I've seen people dislike is one of the lines. The original singer says "fearing no manner of ghouls hags and wraiths" but people sem to hear fearing ALL manner.. Well, misworded line or not, I prefer this version over the original. Plus I always hear a No in there, so maybe they just heard it wrong.
Fuck the trolls man! Nuttin better to do but tear others down for shit they wouldn't dare to do themselves. They dont like it, make their own damn video.
She actually did. This is much better than the original song.
@@brandonyeung7838Hey, don't diss trolls! They work hard, building and maintaining bridges for the people to use! :p
Wolves asleep amidst the trees
Bats all a swaying in the breeze
But one soul lies anxious wide awake
Fearing all manner of ghouls, hags and wraiths
For your dolly Polly sleep has flown
Don't dare let her tremble alone
For the witcher, heartless, cold
Paid in coin of gold
He comes he'll go leave naught behind
But heartache and woe
Deep, deep woe
Birds are silent for the night
Cows turned in as daylight dies
But one soul lies anxious wide awake
Fearing all manner of ghouls, hags and wraiths
My dear dolly Polly shut your eyes
Lie still, lie silent, utter no cries
As the witcher, brave and bold
Paid in coin of gold
He'll chop and slice you
Cut and dice you
Eat you up whole
Eat you whole
✨✨✨
*fearing No manner. Most people get the lyrics wrong because of the original singers accent.
Thanks
thanks
Lol when you said hag and wraith I thought you were saying dead by daylight...
Just wanted to say how much I love your version. The video is so seductive and magical too, just perfectly filmed and edited. Wonderful. Xx
This means so much, thank you. ♥️
Love both of your versions. They are amazing. I always get goosebumps while listening.
You two are my favorite singers here.
Greetings from Germany!
@@AshleySerena you can make scary movie. It would be awesome 😍
Perhaps you both could do this or another in a duet ?
Bloody shit song can't sing
In all honesty, I've no idea why this doesn't have more views. You captured the heartache and woe and made it sound beautiful.
It does have more view, on another channel called "common sense" with 5 million views.
my sentence seems metaphorical it's not.
Because the good is recognized by few.
This song makes the witcher sound like a villain tho hes the protagonist. Im officially a with lover
It's not just about Geralt though, there was an entire school of witchers who killed people brutally for money.
To a "monster" in that world, Witchers ARE the scary boogeymen, the things that hunt them mercilessly for coin. Witchers may be (feared, outcast, hated) protagonists for humans, but they are absolutely the beasts that'll slice and dice a young bruxa or siren if the price is right.
I imagine this is how the common folk see Witchers though. With still being dependent on Witchers to kill the monsters even with all the history and hate between them. It makes the Witcher who they hate and that asks for compensation before helping seem even worse than the monsters.
Well this is a lullaby of a monster
And a Witcher is the monsters monster
its becuse vampires are very sentient beings in witcher, they have their own community and civilization so witchers hunting them is like a drowner hunting human, humans are afraid of monsters and witchers are vampires monsters
The video (much to the chagrin of everyone who hates it) has a great effect, and to me shows that for everything beautiful that we see..there is something sinister and deadly just under the surface (hence the song). Being alone, even in the sunshine in the middle of the forest is unnervingly quiet..
"nice tune, been awhile since i heard it last"
"People have forgotten it."
"They've paid me for you.."
"In times past, no amount of coin would convince a witcher to take this contract."
"Times have changed.."
*Drinks black blood potion*
I actually really dig the video. Like, you're just walking in a forest, and then this beautiful siren woman appears and sings you this song of warning, and then you forget where you're going because now you want to live in this forest forever.
why isn't she a superstar already? angelic! her sirensong is the best- just epic!
Can I just say, your voice is ethereal. Like a siren or something. Beautiful. Your voice with this song sends shivers down my spine, bravo!
My 5 year old nephew and 7 year old cousin replaced me singing them lullabies to sleep with this song....im so proud becuz I was sad I couldn't sing for a while to them strep throat but they absolutely love this song thank you
Because* lol
This is definitely the best version I've heard, as others have mentioned, it's creepy but yet seductive at the same time. The girl is highly attractive and has a wonderful voice, and the filming and quality of video is fantastic.
It's kind of a habit now to listen to this song every night before heading to sleep
She is a goddess
My skin tingles every time I hear you sing this song, your voice is amazing
I think you are incapable of creating music that doesn't get stuck in my head and make me need to listen to it on repeat a dozen times. Goodness Ashley. This was so simply masterful.
Oh, thank you! *hugsqueeze* I always love reading what you have to say and am so glad you like this song.
The song is both melancholic and captivating, drawing the listener in and leaving a lasting impression. The lyrics are evocative and thought-provoking, painting a vivid picture of the pain and heartache of loss.
Randomly found this video after 5 years. The voice is smooth like butter knife. Don't regret playing this.
I found this song the same night an 8 week old stray kitten came to my house in the dead of winter. I sang this song while holding her in my lap and she fell asleep purring. My mom and I have since kept her and I can honestly say that both the song and our kitten have made me feel better about the last yr.
this trailer was absolutely amazing. kinda crazy how her song was a warning tale to her kind and she dies not quickly by his hand, it was almost like she didn't even want the fight. kinda felt bad for her in the end. Epic tribute, extremely well done
I totally love how this is so magical and dramatic and when the song title is displayed like in the movies
Hauntingly beautiful. My kind of song. Personally, if I ever have kids, I would use this as a lullaby. I know it’s very haunting and sort of creepy, but it’s soothing as well.
When I hear singing this absolutely beautiful, haunting melody I imagine a cloaked woman sitting under a rocky overhang after asking a group of travelers if she could share the light of their fire since the night is dark and cold. As she sits, she answers any questions very cryptically and when the bard asks if she knows a good melody she sings this and the wind whispers and clouds cover the moon and the fire, while still burning, seems to dim, almost as though the light itself knows to lessen itself for the dark music being sung.
This is a rough idea please take it as I have no skills in writing a full book! I really like offering ideas though and music like this is awesome inspiration! Anyone wants anymore ideas just ask me here and I'll try my best to come up with a scenario for you!
Im a person who has trouble falling asleep, and this song really helps thank you.
This version truely depicts that true fear is not what lurks at night but rather prey in the daylight. And damn your voice sends chills down my spine🥶
Not all voices can be haunting and mesmerizing but yours can be. Enough said.
This is Lullaby of Woe if it was sung by Sirens.
That lullaby is haunting, but fantastic. Amazing!
It's seriously so spooky, I only listened to it in Polish until I decided to do a cover. The English lyrics scare me! :O
Beautiful song and also the singer.
At first I just randomly came here and watched this. I was looking for creepy songs and youtube showed me this. And now I am stuck to it,last night I was playing it before sleeping. You're so talented Ashley!!
If you need darkness to appreciate this song just close your eyes...I just love the song because its SOULFUL
Fairy tales don't teach children that monsters exist.
Children already know monsters exist.
Fairy tales teach children that the monsters can be defeated.
The best English version I’ve ever heard ❤️
I don't know why I know about this wonderful version just NOW.....after 4 years. This is MAGICAL.....Amazing work
This is by far the best song you've ever sung. I must say I admire it.
The best 2mins30secs of my life. Just amazing!
You have such a haunting voice. I love listening to this on my ear buds while walking down an abandoned railroad track that's in the back of my house while it's dark and cold outside with a nice breeze I'm the moonlight. It's creepy, mysterious and almost teleports me to days where you had knights queens and Kings. Very magical and spooky. Thanks for the share of your talent!!!
Thank you Ashley for sharing your gift of music
Loooooove the eye bit at the end!!! Adds an ominous beauty to the atmosphere of the song
There is so much magic inside this soundtrack.
Best cover of lullaby of woe!
Witcher 3 was a master piece on all fronts, game, story, music, graphic, characters etc
Goosebumps with this angelic voice.Beautyfull.
I've listen to many covers on this one and I think you captured it's essence Ashley. Well done!
I can listen this the whole day
best version I've came across
I had shivers through the whole song. So hauntingly beautiful!
I first heard this song (or at least the beginning of it) a few days ago while replaying Blood and Wine. It's hauntingly beautiful and you do a wonderful job of capturing that, kudos to you!
Best version so far ♡♡♡
beautiful, there is nothing else to say, it takes your breath away
Can't stop listening to this version!! 😍😍
This feels almost like something the people would tell their children when they are restless, like an old tale to scare the children. Its scary but mystical at the same time.
This is great! Exactly the kind of lullaby I would listen to.
You're giving off major Morgana vibes and I'm here for it. Beautiful.
This version is far more relaxing and creepy than the others
i love your voice and i was so happy to see you did a cover of this masterpiece. i am complete
her voive is so magical. i love it so much
Ashley's music is scary but calming and help me sleep
This is a masterpiece
Nothing else should matter when this women sings her voice is extra-extraordinary. Stop hating whoever it is just listen.
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful!
To be honest this is better than the original one. I listen to this when i feel upset and it just heals me. Thank you for it
Your eyes made it appear darker and more evil, well done. Love the song thank you so much
Wonderful! Need more clips like this! :) I almost fell in love...
awww that voice! I'm in love
Just wanted to say how much I love your version. oh yes
Ashley, you definitely look and sound like a Bruxa temptress! Haunting voice, goose bumps, well done.
Beautiful
Ashley you are incredible! Truly magical and magnificent. Thanks for sharing your talent and music with us. 😀
beautiful and elegantly done.
When I thought I couldnt find better version of this...you appeared in my reccomended. Its beautiful, scary, sexy. Its just amazing :)
Beautiful, what a voice
Played this and my son fell asleep instantly ☠......
And this is now a permanent playlist for me!!!!
Your performance is beyond what my brain can proces THIS WAS SO AMAZING!!
Okay but the perspective of the song (posing the witcher as an antagonisting scary figure) reminds me a lot of grim! Where similar malevolent and benevolent folk creatures exist but they are all terrified of a family of hunters called grims!
Shady video, great performance, I loved the soft and deep voice.
Keep making videos for us.
i've a bad habit of listening to these songs in the dead of night
So beautiful. As always~
Your voice in the songs you sing is just so powerful and moving i feel drawn to your songs like a pirate drawn to a siren
I absolutely love this.. Flawless, hypnotic.. Just perfect
Don't know why,but I feel really connected to your music. Gives shiver all through my body and makes me feel at home
They should have this woman to sing songs for every Twilight and monster movie
It's magical, scary and relaxing.
Your voice is amazing
This is actually beautiful and I'm glad it popped up while I was listening on Spotify XD
Can't stop listening to this video, it's just hypnotic
