You are smoking up your profits. I agree this will move you, if you are pre disposed to such things. However don't deviate from reality. Just my opinion though.
I like to imagine “The King’s Wit” is being played by Wit himself on his flute while doing some ridiculous dance and all the other characters are just staring at him in confusion
@@dylangibson7524 They do, but off screen, unfortunately. Wax has a conversation with Harmony in a carriage while Wayne is on top with Hoid, who is their carriage driver at the time.
I have always considered Wit to be Sanderson himself. He looks down upon us (the audience) in a condescending way trying to comprehend how the hell our puny minds work. My suspicion has hence been proven in the final pages of WoR where Wit is seen talking to rodents nearby.
“Kaladin screamed, reaching the end of the bridge. Finding a tiny surge of strength somewhere, he raised his spear and threw himself off the end of the wooden platform, launching into the air above the cavernous void. Bridgemen cried out in dismay. Syl zipped about him with worry. Parshendi looked up with amazement as a lone bridgeman sailed through the air toward them. His drained, worn-out body barely had any strength left. In that moment of crystallized time, he looked down on his enemies. Parshendi with their marbled red and black skin. Soldiers raising finely crafted weapons, as if to cut him from the sky. Strangers, oddities in carapace breastplates and skullcaps. Many of them wearing beards. Beards woven with glowing gemstones. Kaladin breathed in. Like the power of salvation itself-like rays of sunlight from the eyes of the Almighty-Stormlight exploded from those gemstones. It streamed through the air, pulled in visible streams, like glowing columns of luminescent smoke. Twisting and turning and spiralling like tiny funnel clouds until they slammed into him. And the storm came to life again.”
@@mikahkilgore4972 Same dude, I get goosebumps when I think back on some of the big moments, Kaladin's Kata in the chasms, Syl fighting the Deathspren, Dalinar burying Oathbringer in the ground to free the slaves, Shallan's "smile anyway" in WOR and many more.
I love that Bridge Shield gets its own track. The side carry was one of the most badass moments in the series IMO, just symbolically something that was only used as a death sentence becoming a shield to protect is SOOOO cool
Thank you! You're the first person that brought attention to that. Yes, it was intentional. When you hear a synthetic sound (usuaally a bass drop), that is the indicator that stormlight is being used.
I was listening to that this part during the chapter where Kalidin ran at the parshendi in wearing their carapace, and It lined up perfectly, with the bridge runners in the back, the triumphant bits as he dodges arrows, and the unique, angered chants of the parshendi
"If you survive this day you'll be know as one of the greatest men of our generation." Dalinar released him, letting the High Prince stumble back. "Go to your men Aladar. Go lead them. Be a champion." Aladar stared at Dalinar, mouth gaping. Then he straightened. He slapped his arm to his chest, giving a salute as crisp as any Dalinar had ever seen. "It will be done, Brightlord!" Aladar barked to his attendants, then put his hand to his side sword and dashed away.
The only thing such epic fucking books such as The Stormlight Archive is missing is music. This gives me emotion beyond words. It gives me a kind of nostalgia for this story, which I haven't even finished. Kelek's breath this is awesome.
This is super incredible. If you're an audio junkie I do recommend considering the graphic audio as the way it adds music and multiple voice actors in really elevates the scenes for me
Thank you! It was actually composed by a fan who posted his take on Shallan's Lullaby on youtube. We were trying to find the right composer for the piece, and when Brandon boosted the song on twitter, and I heard it myself, I knew this was a good fit, even though he's not a profressional film composer (good music is good music). I contacted the composer and asked him if we could give his music the old Hollywood treatment. I'm grateful that Alex Crandell, the composer, said yes! (Sandra Schnieders, the composer who arranged the song, has worked with the likes of James Newton Howard and Danny Elfmann, and she brought the song to life beautifully.)
I am speechless about Assasin In White. The piece starts with Parshendi drumers and eventually it zooms out into a lacrimose but terrible piano Melody. The string section makes an excelent job at the crescendo, really gives you chills. The whole piece makes a stunning job on transmiting Szeth´s dispair and fierceness. Amazing!! Congrats!!
Three Glyphs is my favorite. Starts out with the horns calling the soldiers to battle, then goes to the heavy drums and chorus of Bridge 4 as they prepare Kaladin in his armor. Then, as they begin to run, the music trails off as the Parshendi see Kaladin dressed in the bones of their dead. The strings and horns build up as the shock and horror turns to outrage and then to blinding, burning anger and crescendos as they start raining death at Kaladin, but the drums duel with the strings for dominance of the sound as he dances around everything they can throw at him. There’s a moment of wonder from the bridgemen, who aren’t being mown down in their suicidal charge, then it turns to awe as they see Kaladin. It crescendos again as the cavalry charge across the bridges, smashing the Parshendi lines.
With beatboxing, cos you know he totally would. When I told my team I wanted a jazz trio with a beatboxing flute for The King's Wit song, they all thought I was nuts. I was very hands on with this one, and I'm glad/proud that it landed so well. It's just so...Wit! We were also very lucky to have Katisse Buckingham play the flute for us (he is the flautist that played in Anchorman. When we were looking for the right jazz flautist, everyone just kep saying, "Katisee. Katisse is the guy." lol. And he was, he nailed it.
This isn't tribute music. It's officially licensed. We are professional Hollywood peeps who are also Sanderfans and wanted to do a musical adaptation of the book. You can learn more about us on our website www.theblackpiper.com. The album is currently on a temporary embargo (which was part of our contract, so no issues there, not that we can talk about --we're all getting along), but it should be lifted soon. Then you'll be able to listen to it and buy it on the usual platforms.

Live action would never capture the world exactly. All those different races etc. you won't find actors to play them. The budget would have to be gigantic, that's not happening for a TV series, and you can't well make a movie out of these books. If we get a live action, it'll be crappy as hell.
I think with Game of Thrones, a new LOTR sieres and a Wheel of Time sieres that TV format for fantasy sieres is definately something that is beimg looked into more in the industry. I dont think it would be difficult to have all of the charcters in live action. But tge deciding factor for me is Roshar itself. I think that places like the shattered plains couldnt be done justice in animation. On the other hand Mistborn would be much better animated.
@@3Andzia3 I agree that much of the charcters and actual action could work well in animation, but for me Roshar's envirement is more important. The nature of animation is that while things can be heavily stylized they by neccesity lose detail. The strength of live action + cg is that things can be very detailed and inspire more wonder by tricking the brain much more effectivly that what it sees is real. This does however mean that things have to be less stylized and tone can be harder to convey. For Roshar, the envirement is so crucial to the world on so many levels that losing the detail on it would be a shame. While I do think there are some areas the live action would be a hinderence to the tone, in other areas like shardplate and shardblades, animation would take away some of the wonder. Shards would be come just another big sword. Compare that to Mistborn, where while the envirement is important it mostly sets tone. I cant imagine a live action mists that doesnt look bad. Animation in that case would greatly improve the tone and allow for cool stylization without sacrificing on wonder.
Everything about this is amazing. It encapsulates what made the book epic in the most spectacular way. I could imagine the colossal canyons. I could feel the stonewall as if it hit me. I almost cried at Tians theme. I could feel the emotion in waves that I’ve never felt before. This is truly a work of art
My favorite moment in the album is the transition between Honor is Dead and Sylphrena. In Kaladin's darkest moment, Syl was that angel on his shoulder that helped to literally pull him back from the edge of death. The transition just gives the perfect feeling of a small spark of light piercing the darkness, giving hope for a sunrise. Love it! Amazing work!
I'm so glad you appreciated that little moment. Syl is so tiny, yet she backs such a hopeful punch that it just cuts through everythying. Philip Klein was our composer for that one, and he nailed it.
Whoever thought to put this on youtube, you are a blessing to humankind. i was PISSED when amazon got rid of it, and i got amazon music JUST for this alone. so thank you, whoever you are.
It should be back up on the usual channels soon. The embargo is part of the contract we made with DMG and Dragonsteel. It has nothing to do with the rights or licensing, everyone is getting along. I can't go into more than that because of our NDAs, but soon it'll be back up. We were tempted to have this channel taken down, but we know you guys wanna listen to it, and no one in the upper heirarchy is on our case about it.
Moash is nothing compared to the monster that Dalinar used to be... If we can love Dalinar for the man he became, we can hope for Moash to grow as well.
@@carlsmith4568 dalinar owned his actions, he was never really a dishonest man The nature of why we hate moash is very different, most of us put in his and kaladin's situation would turn out to be moash, a corward willing to sacrifice a whole lot to feel a little better, or in his case feel less shame about what he's done.
It's available again! :D You can listen to it again on all the platforms! It may take a few days to calibrate on all the platforms and territories, but it's back!
I think Wandersail goes wonderfully with WoR epilogue. It starts with Wit's iconic flute, It's all dark. He's talking about the end of the world. Then there's a sudden shift, a chance for hope - the Radiant's theme, mixed with Wit's flute - a special someone is coming. Then it goes back to being slow and sad. Their journey has been for nothing, it is too late. And then another shift - They are not going to give up. Wit's flute mixes with the Radiants theme, very little can stop them with their cooperation and shared knowledge. There is hope. A fitting track to one of my favorite scenes in the series.
WOW. Every song in this soundtrack is SO POWERFUL. Of course, part of it is that the story behind it is so powerful, but even putting the book aside, this is amazing music. I'm an amateur writer. I'm working on my third book and I still haven't published any of them. Speaking as a writer, I would give ANYTHING to have this for my books. It would mean so much to me... Well done, The Black Piper.
I'm a wannabe-published-author too! I have one rough draft, a project I stopped pretty quickly, and another project I'm currently working on (and I'm super excited about).
@@isaacwillden6677 Haha same. From what I've seen it's pretty standard for it to take a jillion years for a book to be finished by always starting something new before you finish. I suggest that every morning you write something for fifteen minutes (or more!) WHAT you write is irrelevant, what matters is that you WRITE. it's the practice that does it. good luck! N.A.B PS. I might have accidentally sent this to you twice. If I did, I'm sorry, but my point stands regardless.
I went looking for "You're in my spot." Kaladin is awesome! I was not disappointed. 32:20 reminds me of AoT when Floch looks up and sees that the charge at shiganshina wasn't for nothing. I imagine that's the moment Kaladin realizes he isn't dead. Man I cannot wait to hear the ost for Kaladin's intervention in the duel from book two!
I have a twin brother who wants to join the Marines and It killed me when I read about Tien...Made me want to join so I could feel less helpless at least but I know I'd never make it. Really made me appreciate the brotherly bond I have with him, He might be my best friend and he always makes my mood better. I wonder what Sanderson put into his book in terms of brotherly relationships that made this click for me. I want to meet Sanderson honestly, the guy has pulled me through some hard times ngl. I've read and heard (Audiobooks) all of his works and am working my way through Wheel of Time.
How the hell isn't there a full on production with this amount of talent from the fans?! Like I've seen amazing artwork and now music! People can pull anything off when they put their passion together and honestly its blowing my mind. There needs to be a series , anime, movie, or graphic novel !! wth!!
We considered the fact that Hoid was from a different time and world, and he tends to stick out when he chooses to. So of course the thing that came to me was a jazz trio of a cello, a contra bass, and a beatboxing flute, lol. My team thought I was nuts until they heard it. This song represents the party on the King's Island, where Wit is insulting people at the door. The bass represents Dalinar, trying to rigidly stay in time, and the cello represents Navani as she flirts with Dalinar. It definitely goes off genre a bit, but hopefully in that context, it at least makes more sense. Fun fact: the flautist is Katisse Buckingham, the same flautist that plays the flute in the Ron Burgundy: Anchorman film.
@@barmeyblonde You did an amazing job, guys! This explanation adds even more depth to the piece. I always think of that scene when I listen to King's Wit cause it just so perfectly depicts those dynamics and Hoid's eccentric and somewhat obnoxious nature. Thank you so so much for this and the whole album! You're doing the whole BrandoSando community a great favor. The whole album is a masterpiece!
@@barmeyblonde I agree with OP. It felt a bit too much Dr. Seuss and far too happy for Hoid. While he jokes, I fear his story is far more serious much like his fables. I did however LOVE how well wandersail was handled with the influence of Hoid and his pipe.
@@elliotstaveley682 That's fair. When we wrote this, I had only read TWOK. I feel the song accurately suits the face he's wearing during the scene on The King's Island, where he's heckling everybody at the door. The technique involved in playing beat boxing jazz flute requires an intense amount of skill, discipline, and knowledge to perform. Which is why I chose it in the first place. I wish we were able to do more albums so we could explore the nuances of Hoid. I'm glad you enjoyed Wandersail. The man does have a sad history even if we don't know what it is entirely. The King's Wit is supposed to be a fool that plays over (most) everyone's heads. I appreciate your feedback and am glad you enjoy the music!
@@barmeyblonde I’m glad you don’t see this as harsh criticism. There’s no denying that it’s a great piece of music and the skill shines through even if this one piece feels out of place. The album as a whole is great and I’d love to see you produce music for the rest of the instalments. Notably: - Hoid at the end of oathbringer (great to showcase the layers of personality) - Lift & wendle - Azir - Heratic (Jasnah’s theme) - Swordmaster (Zahel’s theme) - 2 themes for taravangian (almost jekyl & hyde in nature. compassion & capacity) - Torment (Taln arrives) - For the greater good (Amaram’s theme) - A pruning (Dalinar’s encounter) - The girl who looked up - Honor’s final message - Horneater (Rock’s theme) - He who quiets (moash’s theme)
I'm late to this but this is a truly epic work and I have a lot of respect for the composition, mixing and playing. Well done, Creation spren swirl in your midst surely. Strength Before Weakness
@Lucas Báez It's versatile. Like a movie soundtrack, you can try aligning the music with the scene, you can listen to it the whole thing in any order or just on loop while you read, you can listen to our in the car, at the gym, etc., and remember the scenes as they play out on the soundtrack.
The music in this album is so amazing, major kudos to all the composers, orchestrators, sound engineers, and players. It manages to convey so many feelings and reflects the book very well. And best of all, it's different. The album is able to convey that sense of majesty without solely using the trailer head structure. Thank you!!!! Really, thank you for making my favorite album!!!!!
Reading the Way of Kings for the first time and this is the perfect thing to put in the background while reading it. Just need a Shallan Album to complement it
@@e443productions9 Haha, Shallan is my favourite character--though lots of people hate her for some reason. I won't say much because I want you to form your own opinion but she's interesting and complex in my opinion.
@@vos7619 I really like her so far, and I'm the scholar type of person so I relate sometimes too, but she is definitely hiding a lot more than meets the eye and I can't wait to find out what it is
@@vos7619 I'm on Words of Radiance right now, first time read, something crazy just happened. I'm close to the start, so I'm sure you can guess what it is...
I'm rubbing my hands in satisfied glee right now. Caleb Blood was my composer for this one, and it's like he was telepathic --he gave me exactly what I wanted for thsi one. Assassin In White is one of my favorite ones.
Just now discovering these books and the soundtrack...hands down one of my favorite albums of all time. Well done. Truly. I have to know...was/is there ever any talks to do a sequel album for Words of Radiance????
We won't be able to do another album until Brandon gets the film rights back. Then we will be in a position to approach them about making others. Creatively, we've got some musical direction mapped out thru OB.(I got burned out just before the pandemic hit and haven't read RoW yet.)
What's gonna really blow your mind about that is that in this moment (in TWoK), he claips his hands above his head to stop the Chasmfiend, crushes it, and wins the day. It felt like a massive foreshadow to me. Glad Brandon went there.
It's back, baby! You can listen to it again on all the platforms! It may take a few days to calibrate on all the platforms and territories, but it's back!
Oh my fucking god yes. I was listening to this the first time, this one came up, and I laid back and saw Tien chasing lurgs, Tien on a roof in the Weeping, Tien smiling through the rain, Tien, Tien, Tien, and then that military drum broke my fucking heart.
It's back, baby! You can listen to it again on all the platforms! It may take a few days to calibrate on all the platforms and territories, but it's back!
After reading the WoK, WoR, Oathbringer, and the novellas. I can honestly say I want both a tv show and a video game that brings to the series to life and expand upon the world lore. Currently reading Rhythm of War and just love the storytelling. This music definitely needs to be part of the official OST.
So let's just hope that they either get the rights back, or someone posts a download of this somewhere else(the actual digital purchase that is). untill then, we'll have to make do with this so let's hope they don't pull this down.
Hi guys! We definitely want your money, lol. I'm glad you can't download it illegally, that would hurt both us and Brandon (since it's officially licensed). The embargo was part of our contract with DMG and should be lifted soon. We're all getting along, we didn't lose the rights, but I can't really get into it too much because of NDAs. We were very tempted to have this taken down but have turned a blind eye cos you all enjoy it so much. And so far, no one on the upper heirarchy has bothered us about it either. We'll let you all know when it's back up and available again! Soon, my preciouses. Soon.
I'm so glad it played out that way! We worked very hard to make it align with the choreography in the book, even if people read at different paces. The song should fit the canon. I'm glad you noticed it, and that you enjoyed it!
@@lukybaez What I do is keep in mind the names of the songs, and when they pop up in the book the see if the song fits. Otherwise I listen to ambiance while reading, and when the story picks up I scan the next few pages and pick a song that lines up with it. Usually with the song repeat
My random theory: SPOILERS! So apparently dalinar ascended to honer during this scene, but instead of saying "I am honer!" he said "I am Unity!" so I think he's gonna ascend to be both honer and odium, or unity. Just a random theory.
Ok, so I was reading the Way of Kings right, I was listening to the first track and was like wait the Oathpact was Shattered? What does that mean? I flip over to the next page and boom in capitalised letters: THE OATHPACT WAS SHATTERED. Well uh, I'll let you all know when I receive visions from the Almighty or something
Broke: We should get a Stormlight movie Woke: we should get a stormlight anime Seriously though, the series would make an awesome Netflix Castlevania-type anime
Bespoke: Stormlight already IS an anime. Vast rocky shonen-battlefield-background, big swords for HUGE fights, impossibly edgy assassin dude, Four is Death, literal in-universe emote-indicators (is there a better name for e.g. the giant sweat beads and wink-stars? They're spren now, cope), in-universe dramatic-speech-as-power-up-moments, roomful of JUST AS PLANNED, Jasnah-senpai, I could go on for a while. Being printed in words on paper is basically a footnote by comparison. (Syl is best girl)
Dirdle that’s literally all I’ve been thinking as I read through the series. I’m glad I’m not the only other one who thought that. And yes, Syl is inarguably best girl
Agreed, there are essencial things in fantasy books that can only be adapted in anime style series. A 3-5 line paragraph/sentence telling what the character is feeling/thinking can be shown as a short fast internal dialogue of one line, something that doesnt feel right with live action but it does with animations. Also expository texts can be shown with extra scenes or random characters (example: when a characters sees a monument/painting/etc about historical or plot facts, and the text expains what it is, the director can show that info as a mental dialogue or as a random person talking). Like one of the directors of The Expanse tv series said about adding scenes: "to show and not to tell". The thing is that how long would it be? His dark materials hbo first season is going to be 8 episode of ~55 minutes each (equivalent to 18-20 episodes of 21 mins), and that book is ~120k words. Without interludes TWoK already is 354k, WoR is 346k and OB is 420, and books 4 snd 5 will also be like that. That means that withoout interludes they're almost ×3, with them a little more. That makes 50+ epsiodes per book. And my otaku side would like the anime to be in japanese. The graphic audio actors are awsome too but idk, im a loser lol.

We were trying to find the right composer for the piece, and when Brandon boosted the song on twitter, and I heard it myself, I knew this was a good fit, even though he's not a profressional film composer (good music is good music). I contacted the composer and asked him if we could give his music the old Hollywood treatment. I'm grateful that Alex Crandell, the composer, said yes! (Sandra Schnieders, the composer who arranged the song, has worked with the likes of James Newton Howard and Danny Elfmann, and she brought the song to life beautifully.)
IKR!!!!!! And ohhh the chapter
The scuttling of a thousand creatures
I am speechless about Assasin In White. The piece starts with Parshendi drumers and eventually it zooms out into a lacrimose but terrible piano Melody. The string section makes an excelent job at the crescendo, really gives you chills. The whole piece makes a stunning job on transmiting Szeth´s dispair and fierceness. Amazing!! Congrats!!
Thank you!
Three Glyphs is my favorite. Starts out with the horns calling the soldiers to battle, then goes to the heavy drums and chorus of Bridge 4 as they prepare Kaladin in his armor. Then, as they begin to run, the music trails off as the Parshendi see Kaladin dressed in the bones of their dead. The strings and horns build up as the shock and horror turns to outrage and then to blinding, burning anger and crescendos as they start raining death at Kaladin, but the drums duel with the strings for dominance of the sound as he dances around everything they can throw at him. There’s a moment of wonder from the bridgemen, who aren’t being mown down in their suicidal charge, then it turns to awe as they see Kaladin. It crescendos again as the cavalry charge across the bridges, smashing the Parshendi lines.
Rysn is pretty cool too.
Everyone on Roshar:
Wit: Allow me to introduce you to energetic jazz. On a FLUTE!
With beatboxing, cos you know he totally would. When I told my team I wanted a jazz trio with a beatboxing flute for The King's Wit song, they all thought I was nuts. I was very hands on with this one, and I'm glad/proud that it landed so well. It's just so...Wit! We were also very lucky to have Katisse Buckingham play the flute for us (he is the flautist that played in Anchorman. When we were looking for the right jazz flautist, everyone just kep saying, "Katisee. Katisse is the guy." lol. And he was, he nailed it.
Storms, how did I miss this?
This tribute music is awesome.
This isn't tribute music. It's officially licensed. We are professional Hollywood peeps who are also Sanderfans and wanted to do a musical adaptation of the book. You can learn more about us on our website www.theblackpiper.com. The album is currently on a temporary embargo (which was part of our contract, so no issues there, not that we can talk about --we're all getting along), but it should be lifted soon. Then you'll be able to listen to it and buy it on the usual platforms.
Damn, an official response. Thanks for the music, looking forward to the album.
Colors, now I wish I had Perfect Pitch to appreciate this even more!
By the Lord Ruler, now I wish I could burn Tin so I could listen to this harder.

You're doin God's work, keep it up kid
You the real mvp!
@@jacobmorley8717 Thank youuu! 😀
I'm physically unable to explain how much I love Wandersail. EVERYTHING about that piece is AWESOME.
The Assassin in White sounds straight out of a large budget television show... I can picture it perfectly
So they already have soundtrack for "The Stormlight Archive" animated series that they SHOULD make.
Unfortunatly that seems along way off. I however feel that Roshar as a whole would look much better in live action.
Live action would never capture the world exactly. All those different races etc. you won't find actors to play them. The budget would have to be gigantic, that's not happening for a TV series, and you can't well make a movie out of these books. If we get a live action, it'll be crappy as hell.
I think with Game of Thrones, a new LOTR sieres and a Wheel of Time sieres that TV format for fantasy sieres is definately something that is beimg looked into more in the industry. I dont think it would be difficult to have all of the charcters in live action. But tge deciding factor for me is Roshar itself. I think that places like the shattered plains couldnt be done justice in animation. On the other hand Mistborn would be much better animated.
Watch "Attack on Titan" then tell me that Shattered Plains - Kaladin's training and all that - wouldn't be better than in animation.
@@3Andzia3 I agree that much of the charcters and actual action could work well in animation, but for me Roshar's envirement is more important. The nature of animation is that while things can be heavily stylized they by neccesity lose detail. The strength of live action + cg is that things can be very detailed and inspire more wonder by tricking the brain much more effectivly that what it sees is real. This does however mean that things have to be less stylized and tone can be harder to convey. For Roshar, the envirement is so crucial to the world on so many levels that losing the detail on it would be a shame. While I do think there are some areas the live action would be a hinderence to the tone, in other areas like shardplate and shardblades, animation would take away some of the wonder. Shards would be come just another big sword. Compare that to Mistborn, where while the envirement is important it mostly sets tone. I cant imagine a live action mists that doesnt look bad. Animation in that case would greatly improve the tone and allow for cool stylization without sacrificing on wonder.
Just started Way of Kings and this soundtrack is great to read along with.
You're playing a dangerous game, friend! Amazing series, just be careful of spoilers in the comments.
Man I'm getting chills listening to this while I study for my exam.
Amy Eubanks did you get into a scholar wardship?
How did you do?
Everything about this is amazing. It encapsulates what made the book epic in the most spectacular way. I could imagine the colossal canyons. I could feel the stonewall as if it hit me. I almost cried at Tians theme. I could feel the emotion in waves that I’ve never felt before. This is truly a work of art
Thank you so much! I'm glad we were able honor Brandon's work.
My favorite moment in the album is the transition between Honor is Dead and Sylphrena. In Kaladin's darkest moment, Syl was that angel on his shoulder that helped to literally pull him back from the edge of death. The transition just gives the perfect feeling of a small spark of light piercing the darkness, giving hope for a sunrise. Love it! Amazing work!
I'm so glad you appreciated that little moment. Syl is so tiny, yet she backs such a hopeful punch that it just cuts through everythying. Philip Klein was our composer for that one, and he nailed it.
Whoever thought to put this on youtube, you are a blessing to humankind. i was PISSED when amazon got rid of it, and i got amazon music JUST for this alone. so thank you, whoever you are.
It should be back up on the usual channels soon. The embargo is part of the contract we made with DMG and Dragonsteel. It has nothing to do with the rights or licensing, everyone is getting along. I can't go into more than that because of our NDAs, but soon it'll be back up. We were tempted to have this channel taken down, but we know you guys wanna listen to it, and no one in the upper heirarchy is on our case about it.
The people who disliked this video are the ones who like Moash
Moash is nothing compared to the monster that Dalinar used to be... If we can love Dalinar for the man he became, we can hope for Moash to grow as well.
@@carlsmith4568 Dalinar was a vicious and bloody warlord, Moash betrayed his entire species and sided with the incarnation of hatred
*ahem* fuck Moash.
@@carlsmith4568 dalinar owned his actions, he was never really a dishonest man
The nature of why we hate moash is very different, most of us put in his and kaladin's situation would turn out to be moash, a corward willing to sacrifice a whole lot to feel a little better, or in his case feel less shame about what he's done.

"You must find the most important words a man can say"
The camera goes to the sky to show a storm.
The title comes in:
"The Stormlight Archive"
How does this only have 36,000 views, this is beautiful stuff guys. Will certainly buy it once it is available again
It's available again! :D You can listen to it again on all the platforms! It may take a few days to calibrate on all the platforms and territories, but it's back!
I think Wandersail goes wonderfully with WoR epilogue. It starts with Wit's iconic flute, It's all dark. He's talking about the end of the world. Then there's a sudden shift, a chance for hope - the Radiant's theme, mixed with Wit's flute - a special someone is coming. Then it goes back to being slow and sad. Their journey has been for nothing, it is too late. And then another shift - They are not going to give up. Wit's flute mixes with the Radiants theme, very little can stop them with their cooperation and shared knowledge. There is hope. A fitting track to one of my favorite scenes in the series.
I love how the beginning of The Blackthorn gives the vibe of a medieval-era Nuclear Siren. I just think that's sooo fitting.
Sorry, Dalinar...
I appreciate the association with a nuclear siren. There are ten double beats in that section, indicating Dalinar's countdown from ten heartbeats.
WOW. Every song in this soundtrack is SO POWERFUL. Of course, part of it is that the story behind it is so powerful, but even putting the book aside, this is amazing music. I'm an amateur writer. I'm working on my third book and I still haven't published any of them. Speaking as a writer, I would give ANYTHING to have this for my books. It would mean so much to me... Well done, The Black Piper.
Thank you, so much! That means a lot to us. And by the way, we're always open to talking about music for books :) DM us on Twitter or Facebook!
@@LucyAndTheBear Oh, that's an interesting offer! I'll keep that in mind, but I'll probably want to get published first.
I'm a wannabe-published-author too! I have one rough draft, a project I stopped pretty quickly, and another project I'm currently working on (and I'm super excited about).
@@isaacwillden6677
Haha same.
From what I've seen it's pretty standard for it to take a jillion years for a book to be finished by always starting something new before you finish.
I suggest that every morning you write something for fifteen minutes (or more!)
WHAT you write is irrelevant, what matters is that you WRITE.
it's the practice that does it.
good luck!
N.A.B
PS. I might have accidentally sent this to you twice. If I did, I'm sorry, but my point stands regardless.
I went looking for "You're in my spot." Kaladin is awesome! I was not disappointed. 32:20 reminds me of AoT when Floch looks up and sees that the charge at shiganshina wasn't for nothing. I imagine that's the moment Kaladin realizes he isn't dead.
Man I cannot wait to hear the ost for Kaladin's intervention in the duel from book two!
1:08:24
"I'll protect you Tien."
:(
That song made me sad, was crying inside.
I have a twin brother who wants to join the Marines and It killed me when I read about Tien...Made me want to join so I could feel less helpless at least but I know I'd never make it. Really made me appreciate the brotherly bond I have with him, He might be my best friend and he always makes my mood better. I wonder what Sanderson put into his book in terms of brotherly relationships that made this click for me. I want to meet Sanderson honestly, the guy has pulled me through some hard times ngl. I've read and heard (Audiobooks) all of his works and am working my way through Wheel of Time.
@@SAMPAIDAWG I have a little brother who reminds me too much of Tien.
I played this and fell asleep. I woke up and now I am Odium.
Stormfather! So much yes.
How the hell isn't there a full on production with this amount of talent from the fans?! Like I've seen amazing artwork and now music! People can pull anything off when they put their passion together and honestly its blowing my mind. There needs to be a series , anime, movie, or graphic novel !! wth!!
1:08:25 "I'll protect you Tien..."
its too much for my heart
Wonderful! I closed my eyes and I saw Kaladin in every scene, as if the novel had opened up to me. Good work!
Oh my freaking heck! This is absolutely amazing! It fits the book perfectly.
What a beautiful creation. I’m so glad I found out this existed.
Hi, I have a question, do I just have to let the music playing while I read or do I have to match each song of the album with a specific chapter?
@@lukybaez no clue
22:11 "What's one more try, Kaladin?"
That's exactly the moment we wrote that part for. Glad it landed! Thank you for listening!
I love the whole playlist but The King's Wit just slaps differently >.
We considered the fact that Hoid was from a different time and world, and he tends to stick out when he chooses to. So of course the thing that came to me was a jazz trio of a cello, a contra bass, and a beatboxing flute, lol. My team thought I was nuts until they heard it.
This song represents the party on the King's Island, where Wit is insulting people at the door. The bass represents Dalinar, trying to rigidly stay in time, and the cello represents Navani as she flirts with Dalinar.
It definitely goes off genre a bit, but hopefully in that context, it at least makes more sense.
Fun fact: the flautist is Katisse Buckingham, the same flautist that plays the flute in the Ron Burgundy: Anchorman film.
@@barmeyblonde You did an amazing job, guys! This explanation adds even more depth to the piece. I always think of that scene when I listen to King's Wit cause it just so perfectly depicts those dynamics and Hoid's eccentric and somewhat obnoxious nature.
Thank you so so much for this and the whole album! You're doing the whole BrandoSando community a great favor. The whole album is a masterpiece!
@@barmeyblonde I agree with OP. It felt a bit too much Dr. Seuss and far too happy for Hoid. While he jokes, I fear his story is far more serious much like his fables. I did however LOVE how well wandersail was handled with the influence of Hoid and his pipe.
@@elliotstaveley682 That's fair. When we wrote this, I had only read TWOK. I feel the song accurately suits the face he's wearing during the scene on The King's Island, where he's heckling everybody at the door. The technique involved in playing beat boxing jazz flute requires an intense amount of skill, discipline, and knowledge to perform. Which is why I chose it in the first place. I wish we were able to do more albums so we could explore the nuances of Hoid. I'm glad you enjoyed Wandersail. The man does have a sad history even if we don't know what it is entirely. The King's Wit is supposed to be a fool that plays over (most) everyone's heads. I appreciate your feedback and am glad you enjoy the music!
@@barmeyblonde I’m glad you don’t see this as harsh criticism. There’s no denying that it’s a great piece of music and the skill shines through even if this one piece feels out of place. The album as a whole is great and I’d love to see you produce music for the rest of the instalments.
Notably:
- Hoid at the end of oathbringer (great to showcase the layers of personality)
- Lift & wendle
- Azir
- Heratic (Jasnah’s theme)
- Swordmaster (Zahel’s theme)
- 2 themes for taravangian (almost jekyl & hyde in nature. compassion & capacity)
- Torment (Taln arrives)
- For the greater good (Amaram’s theme)
- A pruning (Dalinar’s encounter)
- The girl who looked up
- Honor’s final message
- Horneater (Rock’s theme)
- He who quiets (moash’s theme)
I honestly will always truly love these books
I love how the songs really fit with each character !! Especially Sylphrena and The King's Wit. Amazing work.
This really feels as epic as the books, you are AWESOME musicians. Thumbs up and sharing!
Fantastic work. Certainly worth more than the 4000 views it's gotten so far.
I'm late to this but this is a truly epic work and I have a lot of respect for the composition, mixing and playing. Well done, Creation spren swirl in your midst surely. Strength Before Weakness
Thank you! Strength before weakness, brother. #BridgeFourSalute
Hi, I have a question, do I just have to let the music playing while I read or do I have to match each song of the album with a specific chapter?
@Lucas Báez It's versatile. Like a movie soundtrack, you can try aligning the music with the scene, you can listen to it the whole thing in any order or just on loop while you read, you can listen to our in the car, at the gym, etc., and remember the scenes as they play out on the soundtrack.
@@barmeyblonde Okay, I understand! Thanks for answering
This is the best soundtrack I have ever heard
The music in this album is so amazing, major kudos to all the composers, orchestrators, sound engineers, and players. It manages to convey so many feelings and reflects the book very well. And best of all, it's different. The album is able to convey that sense of majesty without solely using the trailer head structure. Thank you!!!! Really, thank you for making my favorite album!!!!!
Just finished Way of Kings and I can’t stop listening to this!
Fell asleep listening to this. My pet rock now calls me an airsick lowlander.
"Honor is not dead so long as he lives in the hearts of men!"
Kaladin is my favorite character!!! I can’t wait to listen to all of this.
Reading the Way of Kings for the first time and this is the perfect thing to put in the background while reading it. Just need a Shallan Album to complement it
Enjoy your journey!
@@vos7619 Thanks! Just started chapter 8 and getting weird vibes from Shallan. She is sus lol
@@e443productions9 Haha, Shallan is my favourite character--though lots of people hate her for some reason. I won't say much because I want you to form your own opinion but she's interesting and complex in my opinion.
@@vos7619 I really like her so far, and I'm the scholar type of person so I relate sometimes too, but she is definitely hiding a lot more than meets the eye and I can't wait to find out what it is
@@vos7619 I'm on Words of Radiance right now, first time read, something crazy just happened. I'm close to the start, so I'm sure you can guess what it is...
I absolutely love it. Heard it 3 times within last 48 hours.
THIS IS SO GOOD...... Now I know why people want to fight for Bridge 4
41:18 is my favorite but ohhh that part in the book is hard to read
I love how the "Bridge Four" piece has similarities to the songs of condemned souls in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
hey. thanks for linking this
@@adityakaul4890 eyy it's the TSFH gang
just..... wow.
thank you all for this

Okay. The Parshendi drums are beating on Szeth's introductory music. You just won me over.
I'm rubbing my hands in satisfied glee right now. Caleb Blood was my composer for this one, and it's like he was telepathic --he gave me exactly what I wanted for thsi one. Assassin In White is one of my favorite ones.
Hi, I have a question, do I just have to let the music playing while I read or do I have to match each song of the album with a specific chapter?
Did “Tien” make anyone else teary-eyed?
I want them to make one for Oathbringer... So, so badly...
I do too! I can just imagine how epic the track for "you can't have my pain!" would be
the Odium vs Dalinar theme part OMFG i want that so badly
That last battle would be soooo dope
They have that part out for the fancy audiobook thingy (can't remember the name) somewhere as a preview if y'all want to satisfy that itch

Jesus christ the book itself is already god-tier on it's own but with music it literally brings all those scenes to life!
Thank you! I'm glad we did the book justice.
Why is this the most awesome thing I have ever heard.
STORMS, this is good.
Just now discovering these books and the soundtrack...hands down one of my favorite albums of all time. Well done. Truly. I have to know...was/is there ever any talks to do a sequel album for Words of Radiance????
We won't be able to do another album until Brandon gets the film rights back. Then we will be in a position to approach them about making others. Creatively, we've got some musical direction mapped out thru OB.(I got burned out just before the pandemic hit and haven't read RoW yet.)
When you get to track 18 and begin to cry actual tears
I cried too!
Same, I wasn't paying attention to the tracks at first at one point, looked up and saw Tien's name in there and started bawling
It's even worse when you reach track 24. Everything just goes silent when Tien is cut down.
All of you; hold me.
@@michael-israeljarvis5604 I'll hold you if you'll hold me, mate. It'll be a mutual holding.
amazing piece of beauty, what a journey!
16 seconds pre death captures Taravangian and his actions so well
24:54 would go amazing with Dalinar's "you cannot have my pain!" scene.
What's gonna really blow your mind about that is that in this moment (in TWoK), he claips his hands above his head to stop the Chasmfiend, crushes it, and wins the day. It felt like a massive foreshadow to me. Glad Brandon went there.
Finished Wok! Sooooo goood. I love Alethi codes of war.
Bridge Four gives me Rome Total War vibes and I love it
Storms, this is Awesome!! Beautiful, Hope they don't take it down!
It's back, baby! You can listen to it again on all the platforms! It may take a few days to calibrate on all the platforms and territories, but it's back!
I love the assasin in white, its like hoid's magic. i can see Szeth killing guards like cremlings, runningon walls and killing Gavilar
not me getting teary eyed at a song titled after my favorite darling dear sylphrena
Hearthstone hit me like a wall.
Oh my fucking god yes. I was listening to this the first time, this one came up, and I laid back and saw Tien chasing lurgs, Tien on a roof in the Weeping, Tien smiling through the rain, Tien, Tien, Tien, and then that military drum broke my fucking heart.
like a stormwall?
This is damn good. Incredibly well done!
Shallan's lullaby gave me fucking chills, i love it
God I miss this album! I really hope it's back soon.
It's back, baby! You can listen to it again on all the platforms! It may take a few days to calibrate on all the platforms and territories, but it's back!
we seriously need more music for stormlight archive, we need more of everything actually
I NEED MORE OF IT
42:25 You can actually hear the stormwall hit holy shit.
This song is magnificent. You can even feel the buildup of dread as the stormwall approaches.
After reading the WoK, WoR, Oathbringer, and the novellas. I can honestly say I want both a tv show and a video game that brings to the series to life and expand upon the world lore. Currently reading Rhythm of War and just love the storytelling. This music definitely needs to be part of the official OST.
This soundtrack is absoloutly amazing
So let's just hope that they either get the rights back, or someone posts a download of this somewhere else(the actual digital purchase that is). untill then, we'll have to make do with this so let's hope they don't pull this down.
Yeah, what happened with that? The whole rights thing?
Fuck, I cant even find a place to download it illegally. I would buy it but noooo they dont want my money
@@ZiggityZeke I know right....
Hi guys! We definitely want your money, lol. I'm glad you can't download it illegally, that would hurt both us and Brandon (since it's officially licensed). The embargo was part of our contract with DMG and should be lifted soon. We're all getting along, we didn't lose the rights, but I can't really get into it too much because of NDAs. We were very tempted to have this taken down but have turned a blind eye cos you all enjoy it so much. And so far, no one on the upper heirarchy has bothered us about it either. We'll let you all know when it's back up and available again! Soon, my preciouses. Soon.
Sae Sae Norris any update on returning the album to streaming services?
Lost the amount of times I got chills. Got so cold I felt like Shallan in the Frostlands

15:56 Parshendi singing in the battle.
Man I love this music
1:11:52 lined up exactly to the part where Kaladin said the oath on the Tower. Like to the second. The buildup was perfect too
I'm so glad it played out that way! We worked very hard to make it align with the choreography in the book, even if people read at different paces. The song should fit the canon. I'm glad you noticed it, and that you enjoyed it!
@@barmeyblonde Thanks! It genuinly made one of my favorite reading moments ever
Hi, I have a question, do I just have to let the music playing while I read or do I have to match each song of the album with a specific chapter?
@@lukybaez What I do is keep in mind the names of the songs, and when they pop up in the book the see if the song fits. Otherwise I listen to ambiance while reading, and when the story picks up I scan the next few pages and pick a song that lines up with it. Usually with the song repeat
24:30
listen to this while reading oathbringer
I'M UNITY!!!
My random theory:
SPOILERS!
So apparently dalinar ascended to honer during this scene, but instead of saying "I am honer!" he said "I am Unity!" so I think he's gonna ascend to be both honer and odium, or unity. Just a random theory.
This is so amazing
Ok, so I was reading the Way of Kings right, I was listening to the first track and was like wait the Oathpact was Shattered? What does that mean? I flip over to the next page and boom in capitalised letters: THE OATHPACT WAS SHATTERED. Well uh, I'll let you all know when I receive visions from the Almighty or something
It’s currently 3 am and I’m listening to this alone in the dark in my bed.... this is more fun that I could ever imagine 😁 great work lmao 😂
Broke: We should get a Stormlight movie
Woke: we should get a stormlight anime
Seriously though, the series would make an awesome Netflix Castlevania-type anime
Bespoke: Stormlight already IS an anime. Vast rocky shonen-battlefield-background, big swords for HUGE fights, impossibly edgy assassin dude, Four is Death, literal in-universe emote-indicators (is there a better name for e.g. the giant sweat beads and wink-stars? They're spren now, cope), in-universe dramatic-speech-as-power-up-moments, roomful of JUST AS PLANNED, Jasnah-senpai, I could go on for a while.
Being printed in words on paper is basically a footnote by comparison.
(Syl is best girl)
Dirdle that’s literally all I’ve been thinking as I read through the series. I’m glad I’m not the only other one who thought that. And yes, Syl is inarguably best girl
and mistborn!
Agreed, there are essencial things in fantasy books that can only be adapted in anime style series. A 3-5 line paragraph/sentence telling what the character is feeling/thinking can be shown as a short fast internal dialogue of one line, something that doesnt feel right with live action but it does with animations. Also expository texts can be shown with extra scenes or random characters (example: when a characters sees a monument/painting/etc about historical or plot facts, and the text expains what it is, the director can show that info as a mental dialogue or as a random person talking). Like one of the directors of The Expanse tv series said about adding scenes: "to show and not to tell".
The thing is that how long would it be? His dark materials hbo first season is going to be 8 episode of ~55 minutes each (equivalent to 18-20 episodes of 21 mins), and that book is ~120k words. Without interludes TWoK already is 354k, WoR is 346k and OB is 420, and books 4 snd 5 will also be like that. That means that withoout interludes they're almost ×3, with them a little more. That makes 50+ epsiodes per book.
And my otaku side would like the anime to be in japanese. The graphic audio actors are awsome too but idk, im a loser lol.
