I have a dear friend who left us on May 7, 2023. He had a deep appreciation for music, and this was the last genre he listened to and cherished. He was a kind and gentle soul, but during his toughest times, life could make him cruel. He faced his battles alone, and it saddens me that I couldn't do more to help him. Witnessing his passing was a heart-wrenching experience, and he left a void in all our lives. I hope that wherever he is now, he finds eternal peace, happiness, and the same enthusiasm he had in life.Thank you, my dear friend, for introducing me to this music genre. I will always cherish the memories of our shared musical moments. Even today, there are countless genres of epic music that continue to inspire me. Music is a powerful force that brings solace and inspiration, just as you did in my life. You will always hold a special place in my heart, and I'm grateful for the music that connects us.
Motto of the New Year: "Evil is evil, lesser, greater, middling, makes no difference. The degree is arbitary. The definition's blurred. If i'm to choose between one evil and another...I'd rather not choose at all." -Geralt Of Rivia. The White Wolf.
The whole point of this episode was that you still have to choose a side. Geralt literally couldn’t choose to do nothing, if he did he was still making a choice to do one do one of the evils
When a humble bard Graced a ride along With Geralt of Rivia Along came this song From when the White Wolf fought A silver-tongued devil His army of elves At his hooves did they revel They came after me With masterful deceit Broke down my lute And they kicked in my teeth While the devil’s horns Minced our tender meat And so cried the Witcher He can’t be bleat Toss a coin to your Witcher O’ Valley of Plenty O’ Valley of Plenty O’ Toss a coin to your Witcher O’ Valley of Plenty At the edge of the world Fight the mighty horde That bashes and breaks you And brings you to mourn He thrust every elf Far back on the shelf High up on the mountain From whence it came He wiped out your pest Got kicked in his chest He’s a friend of humanity So give him the rest That’s my epic tale A champion prevailed Defeated the villain Now, pour him some ale Toss a coin to your Witcher O’ Valley of Plenty O’ Valley of Plenty O’ Toss a coin to your Witcher A friend of humanity Toss a coin to your Witcher O’ Valley of Plenty O’ Valley of Plenty O’ Toss a coin to your Witcher A friend of humanity Toss a coin to your Witcher O’ Valley of Plenty O’ Valley of Plenty O’ Toss a coin to your Witcher A friend of humanity
The beginning sounds like the outro of an epic song, like after the choir stopped gloriously and the melody floats for a few seconds in the air. And I love it!!!
Up high yon the bar Fierce with merry song With high tales of Rivia From far wide and long Fierce as swift the light Tear against the horror The last one is standing With silver stain of colour They came after him With ravenous delight Face down the foe And they went for tonight Now the beasts soon fell Split like chunk of meat So hailed the Witcher He can't be bleat.
Love this song. It's definitely one of my absolute favorites along with your rendition of "Song of the White Wolf" (which is absolutely hauntingly beautiful by the way). I just can't get enough of it.
I actually like this better than your last one. And I like how you put the theme from the game in both versions. The Witcher game is the best version of the Witcher. Period. And the soundtrack is fantastic.
You should add this orchestral version to Apple Music, I could only find the version that starts with lyrics from the beginning. Good stuff man, keep it coming.
The first thing I was going to ask was how you create such an amazing sound, then as I watched further I see you have footage of your midi recordings. I would like to commend you on your orchestration. It sounds so full and amazing. I have wanted to try something orchestral too, but although I've recording for a few years, the midi side of recording is still unknown to me for the most part. Your vocalist for this song is amazing also. Just to mention it, I also covered this song vocally and would love for you to check it out and give me your opinion on my rendition. Thanks again for sharing yours.
I finally watched the witcher, and was not disappointed!!! Trully amazing, ( I'm not just talking about the show) this music really brings it to life! Love it!
It's really good, and beyond what I expected for sure. You should definitely be proud of what you've done here, as it exceeds what any other composer has to offer this cover in this genre. Though if you'd allow me a brief criticism, I'd like to offer some. I've been a musician as a hobby for 13 years, and I personally felt some of the dynamics and timbre were a bit thin and restricted to the source material. I understand the original has these, but it doesn't translate that well directly into epic orchestral in my opinion. You really did a phenomenal job in the verses, but I feel that you somewhat lost that in the chorus (or 'hook'). It felt somewhat abrasive and too concussive, especially when preceded by moments of pause. It Was just a little jarring, in an otherwise excellent piece. Maybe some quiet arpeggios from the strings in those pauses would've served to created a more fluid experience? Well done to you, and I'm definitely subscribing for more.
My compliments go all on you and your awesome work. You realized what many of us want to hear when the serie came out. Keep going with your good work. Some ideas about the witcher themes: "her sweet kiss" and "the song of the white wolf" both with voices and a big EPIC instrumental mash with these two (if you think they can fit each other). Can this work for you?
Videos saying EPIC are usually average But this one IS EPIC! And very motivational, I listen to this while I run, so please make at least a 30 minute version 😉 or 60 would be even better Or a nonstop version
Is it a sign that my ears are bad that I could just about tell that this was a computer programme and not a full orchestra if I listened to this without watching the video?
Check out my orchestral cover of "The Song of The White Wolf"!

What software are you using to arrange this? btw - awesome arrangement. Thank you.
yisas crist, WOOOOOW AMAZING
Hi man, i can use your orchestral version for my new metal cover? Thnx for your reply 🙂🤘
Is there anywhere to get the orchestral version and support the channel?
Geralt: “It doesn’t rhyme, all good predictions rhyme.....”
@Cameron Dawe You’re going first into hell soldier!
@@Portal2Fan111 then I'm going with him
It doesn't rhyme, all good predictions rhyme...
Inspiring man. Just found your work and will keep coming back!
What a honor!!! I'm a huge fan of your work!!!! Thank you!
No way! Both music legends in the same comment section!
I shall toss my coin to a collab.

And then Renfri forced him to choose when she wants to massacre the public just to get the wizard out from his tower.

RolandHUNter Sounds like something my character would say
Saving the public was something bad? Lesser, greater ...?
@@wacekbaf934 He presented her with a choice, leave and move on or force his hand. He preferred not to kill her.
When a humble bard
Graced a ride along
With Geralt of Rivia
Along came this song
From when the White Wolf fought
A silver-tongued devil
His army of elves
At his hooves did they revel
They came after me
With masterful deceit
Broke down my lute
And they kicked in my teeth
While the devil’s horns
Minced our tender meat
And so cried the Witcher
He can’t be bleat
Toss a coin to your Witcher
O’ Valley of Plenty
O’ Valley of Plenty
O’
Toss a coin to your Witcher
O’ Valley of Plenty
At the edge of the world
Fight the mighty horde
That bashes and breaks you
And brings you to mourn
He thrust every elf
Far back on the shelf
High up on the mountain
From whence it came
He wiped out your pest
Got kicked in his chest
He’s a friend of humanity
So give him the rest
That’s my epic tale
A champion prevailed
Defeated the villain
Now, pour him some ale
Toss a coin to your Witcher
O’ Valley of Plenty
O’ Valley of Plenty
O’
Toss a coin to your Witcher
A friend of humanity
Toss a coin to your Witcher
O’ Valley of Plenty
O’ Valley of Plenty
O’
Toss a coin to your Witcher
A friend of humanity
Toss a coin to your Witcher
O’ Valley of Plenty
O’ Valley of Plenty
O’
Toss a coin to your Witcher
A friend of humanity

Raquel Leal I’m glad I bought these expensive headsets lol!
I’m listening on speakers.... so true, got chills
That bass and heavy brass.... sooo good. goosebumps are an understatement.
had to turn my subwoofer down lest my neighbors complain lol. Always amazing when I have to do that.
NETFLIX should totally use this in The Witcher Season 2!
Agreed with some flute used in lotr
+1
Nigel Archer hell yes
They won't.
I agree.
YES! You did it! This is EXACTLY the song they should use for the theme music starting in Season 2!!
That bass drop though... That's what put it over the top and instantly hooked me
The beginning sounds like the outro of an epic song, like after the choir stopped gloriously and the melody floats for a few seconds in the air. And I love it!!!
the beginning is from the game soundtrack :) Song is called Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher 3
Dandelion would be proud of this remix
*people who dont know about the games*
"Dont you mean Jaskier?"
Yeah guys it's the same person!
Marigold too
@@MagicPants56 Book readers as well.
@@OrDuneStudios i thought it was always Jaskier in the books, but ight i take it
It's epic, but you know what else is epic? Witcher 3 mashed up with Netflix Witcher theme
Up high yon the bar
Fierce with merry song
With high tales of Rivia
From far wide and long
Fierce as swift the light
Tear against the horror
The last one is standing
With silver stain of colour
They came after him
With ravenous delight
Face down the foe
And they went for tonight
Now the beasts soon fell
Split like chunk of meat
So hailed the Witcher
He can't be bleat.
Toss a coin to your Witcher
Oh valley of plenty
Oh valley of plenty, oooooohh
Toss a coin to your Witcher
Oh valley of plentyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Toss a coin to your Witcher
Oh valley of plenty
Oh valley of plenty, oooooh
Toss a coin to your witcher
A friend of humanityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Holy shit, with this song it's more than just a single coin!
And once again, you've absolutely smashed it out if the park!!! This is incredible x
Amazing talent!! Cant wait to see more
Goosebumps all over.... hearing the theme from the Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt in the beginning followed by toss a coin o ur witcher
If you don't toss, I'll rob you.
Love this song. It's definitely one of my absolute favorites along with your rendition of "Song of the White Wolf" (which is absolutely hauntingly beautiful by the way). I just can't get enough of it.
I listened to this ...
Now my hair is white and my friend plays lute.
And the dog is a horse
Sean Rhea and the horse is a roach
Hahahaj
This pie does have filling
...hmmm...
Witcher brought Netflix into the new decade of fantasy and fun.
Bloody brilliant! I've been looking for a solid orchestral version of this for ages! This is brilliant!
Some random fool: I think Samuelkimmusic is overrated
Me: ArE YoU PeRhApS ShOrT Of A MaRbLe?!
No, but he definitely needs a Nap
LMAO, so true
Toss a coin to this man
Is that.. Is that a Rolf reference from Ed, Edd, + Eddy? Because if it is, well done.
Ah no... just the show... Still, I heard it in Rolf's voice.
I’ve listened to this about 10 times now in the past few hours.
How is this better than the original. Dude you've got legit talent. For real.
I actually like this better than your last one. And I like how you put the theme from the game in both versions. The Witcher game is the best version of the Witcher. Period. And the soundtrack is fantastic.
This...
This is... simply magical.
I want an orchestral version of "Her sweet kiss" too !!😍
YES!!!! I've wanted this for so loong!!!!!
What... what are you doing?
Killing monsters.
Just sort of came out that way.
Finally, a composer of culture, here sir - have a like and subscribe
My Gods, I love this! It's giving me chills.
very epic, needs the female vocal from the original at like 2:30
You should add this orchestral version to Apple Music, I could only find the version that starts with lyrics from the beginning. Good stuff man, keep it coming.
Perfectly beautiful and powerful at the same time.
2:54 is what y’all Witchers are here for
Thank you Daxion, Very Cool.
I got goosebumps! This sounds amazing! Thank you!

Netflix should offer you a contract for music production in season 2!
Amazing!
This image is amazing, and the music playing really captivates me ❤🎶
Any chance this is going on spotify too? Cause damn. Thanks for making this.
THAT'S what i call epic!!!
A M A Z I N G!!
You're a hero ❤️
Me: "there's no way this song could get better than this"
This:
Me: "....I was wrong. It can."
"Turns out it CAN get better than this"
-oversimplified-
I finally watched the witcher, and was not disappointed!!! Trully amazing, ( I'm not just talking about the show) this music really brings it to life! Love it!
Dare I say this is magical 👀, great job again
This has Definitely earned a like.
Sorry I can't think of a better comment. Still recovering from the level of Awe and Beauty this dropped on me.
Ok I had never heard any of Samuel's stuff til original release of this. Didn't know it was possible to make a cover this good.
Awesome cover! Voice and music, mixing ... I applaud while standing!
What orchestra libraries are you using!? They sound so good
Your video contains very high quality music. I want to give a big thank you for introducing me to such great tunes.
I would been so damn Hype if this track was in the trailer
@samuelkin please please please make an extended version of 3:53 atApproaching The Throne. The choir is so epic.
That transition at the ending is my favorite part
Sam working nonstop!!! amazing
*Me literally asking for this when the first video dropped seeing this right after its posted*
"Toss a Coin to Geralt"
The best channel on epic mixes! Phenomenal!

I got goosebumps hearing this.
I didn't get chills during this. I had them the whole damn time.
It's been fun, having this song stuck in my head for the whole day XD
Ones again, great job!
Best part is the cello in the middle.
The world needed this. Just... Thank you. You did an amazing job
It sounds so good. I love it 😍
A great D&D hero brought me here, his name is "Anthony Marcus Julius Caskwind" and one day he may find this comment, Well played Brave Adventurer :)
just wonderfull, great remix (mashup) I'm going to hear this until season 2 and beyond
Loved this!!!

Guys, become Patreons, his work is a bloody masterpiece!
Amazing, as always, Samuel! Will you upload it to Spotify? My Playlists fill up with your music! Hahaha!
"Toss a coin to your watcher, o valley of plenty..."
*Hacks away at the dragon with no preparation while singing like Rowan*
The cello part reminds me of GOT don't know why 😍😍
[tossing of coins to Witchers intensifies]
1:44 I got chills
I was listening to it half like hmmm then the vocals kicked in like vtec in a Honda lol damn son
I abolutely LOVE this version!
Just look at the details... i mean, look at the sword of Geralt, it emboldens the Badge of Renfri
Ah! THIS is the version I've been looking all over UA-cam for!
me crying about this song in joy that i live in the same ara as
THE GREAT SAMUEL KIM
You are the Dopest dude alive for this amazing score!!!!! much respect!!!
Stunning! You're the best! 👏🏻💙🐺
The fusion of the neftlix ost serie and the game one. Thanks a lot !
its not the fusion with game
Reminds me of the Lady of the Lake in Witcher 3
I'm throwing all the coins i have at the screen, but nothing happens! What am i doing wrong?
This is amazing and composer of this song is a genius.
Videos saying EPIC are usually average
But this one IS EPIC!
And very motivational, I listen to this while I run, so please make at least a 30 minute version 😉 or 60 would be even better
Or a nonstop version
This only just reminds me how Gerald is the most powerful man in the world ☺️
this is AMAZING!!
Great music and great show indeed!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Thank you!!!
Much better than the original !! good job
Is it a sign that my ears are bad that I could just about tell that this was a computer programme and not a full orchestra if I listened to this without watching the video?
i love how it sounds a lot like witcher 3 too!
this is the glory itself
Great work man!
Can you do a Spider-man: homecoming x guardians of the galaxy theme ?
Man this is a masterpiece hope netflix uses it in season 2
It is wonderdul !!!! I love it !!!
Simply astonishing.
My ears thank you.
