    Yes, it's a Mohawk chant named 'Rabbit Dance'. I found a very old recording of some Native American men singing it and did my best to re-create it with my own voice as respectfully as I could :)
    I did not want it to sound hokey or like cheesy, new age easy listening music, as I find tends to happen often when people absorb ethic sounds into their music. I wanted it to feel a bit more raw & tribal, like the original :)

    I have to say, this was some of Gavin's strongest lyrical work.
    Mysterious agendas
    Lay behind a graceful guise
    A son was born, begotten, shorn
    Betrayed to noble lies
    A father lost to hunger
    The temptation of control
    No sentiment you represent
    Can tame my savage soul

    You know, I've heard Assassin's Creed III was not the most popular of the series but honestly, I've been playing it myself and, aside from Ezio I think Conner's the best character so far -granted I'm writing this before I've had the chance to play Black Flag or the other spin-offs, but Conner is a fascinating character. He's the only Native American to ever become an Assassin, his motive for pursuing the Templars, although basic, turned out later to be misguided, and that the very cause he was fighting for had been the thing that destroyed his home and killed his mother.
    By that time, he's become a man with nothing more to lose. I think that makes him more dangerous than any other assassin, because now all he has left is the Brotherhood, and the new life he builds around himself.

      "Wheres chaes lee??"

      "Wheres charles lee??!!"
      "WHERES CHARLES LEE??!!"
      "WHERE DAFUQ IS CHARLES LEE???!!!"

    AC3 was good. Not great, but good. I liked how Haytham wasn't just a typical villain like the other Templars but a nice guy who seemed to have the best intentions at heart. I liked that scene at the end when you finally kill the Templar responsible for destroying your home, there was something about the stillness of the scene that grabbed me. And I liked how the game didn't go down the route of "fuck the British, 'Murica FTW!" That bit at the end when Connor sees patriots celebrating their freedom across the street from a slave auction was quite powerful to me.
    All in all, if Connor was a likable character then I would likely have enjoyed the game much more.

    Since everyone's declaring their alliances to the characters... My thoughts:
    Altaïr: Arrogant and foolish in the beginning, the wisest of the Order ever after that. My fave after Ezio.
    Ezio: Grew up from a boy into a deadly, wise Master Assassin. All that killing and hardship, and still could love.
    Haytham: Asshole. Hate him. People just have some kind of a modern sickness of liking those who'd be bad for them; I've seen this happen mostly with anime fangirls. (Haytham would *enslave* you. Remember that.)
    Connor: True, naïve. But good intentions, and wisdom keeps growing. Also I *enormously* respect him for his quote: (Yet you fight. You persist. Why?) "*Because no one else will!*"
    Edward: Hate/despise/pity him until he starts regretting everything. Once he settles, he's good.
    Haven't played Liberation yet, nor read about Nicholai.

      Haytham wasn't an asshole. He was wise, honest and respectable. He had good intentions at heart, and had an effective way of getting things done.
      He wasn't even the bad guy either. He was a great portrayal of how the Templars aren't the bad guys (unlike what the Ezio trilogy would have you believe), and how it's not so black and white between the Assassins ad the Templars.

      I`m completely your opinion about Haytham, but I think in the Ezio-Triologie the worst enemy is Cesare Borgia, who is no Templar. He even killed Rodrigo, who was the leader of the Templars at this time.

      I spoke to a couple of native American buddies but none from the Mohawk tribe in particular. However the chant is directly taken from a Mohawk chant named 'Rabbit Dance' which i did my best to replicate respectfully :)

      miracleofsound I'm not Native at all, so my opinion doesn't mean anything on this subject.
      Around the time you released this song, I'd been watching some Native-produced movies*. So when I heard the chant in this song it kind of blew me away, because you sounded /exactly/ like the chants I'd heard in those movies.
      I think that if it were possible for a white person to respectfully reproduce one of those chants, that you pulled it off. Bravo.
      *Smoke Signals and Powwow Highway, and a documentary called Reel Injun about the history of Native folks in movies. The part where the Navajo actors are swearing at the American actors in old Westerns was awesome. I recommend all of these films if you can find them.

      Daniel Hettinger I agree, and I like to think I've taken some time to educate myself, if only on an informal basis. I try to educate others when it seems appropriate, while maintaining awareness of the limits of my knowledge and of who I'm talking to.

    There is an approximate 1/20,000 subscriber ratio. Although this meme is overused and a tiresome cliche, I don't want to live on this planet anymore. As a songwriter, I can assure that much less effort goes into writing songs like that than something with good lyrics. THe worst part is, Smosh hasn't been funny since 2008

      I guess it's because Smosh is a comedy channel, not a serious gaming music channel. Even with that though, we can all agree Miracle of Sound is better and should have more subscribers.

      Dude. Smosh is humor, Miracle of Sound is purely music. Of course Smosh is going to have silly lyrics. It's like comparing Saints Row to GTA and criticizing Saints Row for not being serious enough. It's a stupid argument.

    I cannot recall a single expression of joy, nor any humility.
    At least Ezio had a character arc. There was a purpose behind everything he did. He was also very intelligent in the way he planned his assassinations. Connor just did things he didn't really want to because other people told him to. And he never did them very well.
    Ezio was an important person. Connor was just a tool for important people.

      Three was my favorite. But Ubisoft is straying from what assassin's creed is all about. It seems that you now play as random people who know parkour instead of an actual assassin like Ezio or Altair.

    I also think like this. Conner was by far the most emotion filled of all the assassins we've seen. He had to deal with losing his mother, finding out his father was a traitor, and growing up in a world that didn't accept him, during a war.
