honestly, what pulls at my heart with these soundtracks is the writers ability to be able to throw together merlin and arthur's themes together all throughout these pieces, even the ones that don't exactly have anything to do with one or the other. you can always hear merlin somewhere throughout these pieces, whether it's his sorrow, his jealousy, his grief, his love, all of it. and my favorites are the coming of arthur and the bond of sacrifice. in the coming of arthur, you can hear a conversation between merlin and arthur, unspoken words of loyalty and friendship, knowing that they would do anything for each other. and lastly, in the bond of sacrifice, you can hear merlin picking arthur up off the ground. you can hear the love that he has for his king (platonically or romantically, whichever you fancy) but it's all there either way. you can hear the two sides of the same coin in that song, but most importantly, you can feel the love between a king and his warlock, two complete opposites, and yet the writer is able to show all of the unspoken feelings and thank yous in that piece, and it's heart wretching.
Arthur and Gwen's theme was playing in the background when I read this and somehow this comment moved me to tears, the beautiful words combined with the music... Golly... Thank you for that. That was a moment I want to remember.
This is the most amazing description of the music of Merlin I have ever read. As I am listening to the themes and reading your comment I have goosebumps and my heart is swelling because this is just beautiful beyond description (no pun intended)
I really hope this show isn't forgotten. Even though the writers screwed over the fans on multiple occasions, this show was great. The characters, the character development, and the music all work together to make the masterpiece that this show always will be
crying...this show was incredibly special to me, i remember all those saturday nights, staying up with my family to watch this, still heart-broken from the ending tho :( _this tv show really was pure gold._
It’s 2020 and my heart is still in pieces. This show made my heart, shaped me and then broke me into a million pieces. I always will have a place in my soul for this show. Thanks for making my childhood and adulthood amazing.
meeeeeeeeee I just finished the last 3 episodes yesterday id been holding off watching them for months because I couldnt bring myself to watch arthur die again
I think Merlin has got to be my favourite TV show. Its soundtrack, character development, writing and settings are just top notch. I'm disappointed that Netflix just removed it from their site. It's really a masterpiece.
I know Arthur's death is really sad, but when the dragon said to Merlin a few episodes before "I'm tired of it all" that just really got to me. Knowing that he was just waiting for his time to lay down.
The bit at the end of the music for Freya’s death is so beautifully haunting. It’s so soft and delicate because it shows when merlin really opened himself up and was vulnerable with his emotions. There is something almost child-like and innocent about the theme, something so pure and authentic. The composers did a beautiful job.
The last episode made me have to rewatch again the first episode S01E01 when the story just begin, Merlin and Arthur first meet. And the Love Theme sound track always remind me to the last episode :(
i'm never going to get enough of how they manage to balance the dramatic flair of the orchestration to bring the necessary gravitas to a scene while also making it so...personal with how you can clearly hear every piece contain at least some of other pieces. Particularly the main theme of Merlin, it's EVERYWHERE but done in so many different ways as the show itself shows us all these different sides to him, make him express all these different emotions and experience all these different events, from moments of wonder to pure hardship. Somehow each piece inspires awe in the sense that you feel you are witnessing a legacy, at the same time as it does something deeply emotional and complex, something character-based and, well, there is no better word to describe it that PERSONAL, and it allows for the music to lead you by the heartstrings from one piece to the next without any noticeable break in flow its utter genius
@@heidiredding4377 agreed let us hope this amazing series could come Back It Isn't to late to write a modern Day version Of the legend where Arthur rises again Bradley and colin are still young enough
I binge watched the entire series and I have to say that I love this retelling of the Legend of King Arthur immensely! It's simply beautiful. The love that Merlin has for his friend Arthur surpasses any earthly love. Arthur's death was incredibly sad but the sacred significance of it is so powerful. I knew Arthur died as that was in the Arthurian stories recorded by Geoffrey of Monmouth almost 1,000 years ago. The ancient Pagan/"the Old Religion" traditions were incredibly interwoven into the series as well. One of my favorite quotes was Merlin when he appeared as "The Dolma" and told King Arthur "There is no evil in sorcery, only in the hearts of men." It was sad that King Arthur did not have the opportunity to complete his building of the kingdom having magic and sorcery being practiced openly by good hearted people who want to help others and truly create a much better world. That was so tragic but I do see a major glimmer of hope that Gwenevere as Queen would fulfill that last and greatest wish of Merlin and so many others. I'm sure (after Arthur's realization that magic and sorcery can be used for great and good things) Arthur would have wished for that as well.
For those looking for the original track names: 1) Gwen & Arthur 2) Finale 3) Freya/ The Strange Girl 4) Finale The Sword in The Stone 5) Freya (end) 6) Bond of Sacrifice 7) " " 8,9,10) Merlin Buries Lancelot 11)Hiding Excalibur 12) Finale The Sword in the Stone
Everyone is sad because of Arthur’s death and I am too, but honestly Gwaine’s death hurts me so much more. He was one of my favourites characters and his lasts words were “I failed”. It is just so sad for me, and I can’t get over him. Lancelot was also one of my favourite characters and I also miss him. What did I do to the writers? I mean, why? (Sorry for the bad English but it is not my language)
waht broke me was that his death was in a way "unnecessary" because it could have been easily avoided, and also he didn't succed in what he had set out to do, thus the "i failed", making it all that more painful seeing as he was my favorite character in the show after merlin
@@hystericalwolf I honestly can't imagine how Merlin took it they went on the quest for the fisher king together him Gawaine and Arthur I picture Merlin having a dream of him and gwaine polishing or washing the boots like they did when they first met and Merlin asks I thought you said you would never die for a noble gwaine turns and smiles and say I guess I found one worth dying for I feel Like Merlin had a dream like that it wasn't right he wasn't there to say goodbye to gwaine
@@charlottegury1243 Merlin should have Been there is the biggest part we know how close they were now everytime I watch the first part of the finale I start shedding tears when him and gwaine say goodbye neither realized it was the last time they would see each other
I think Freya's death and burial is really underrated because Freya's death had broken many people's heart and it has made me cry So to be honest I would choose that as my favourite
merlin revealing his magic to gilli will always be one of my favorite scenes. and the music perfectly captures that hopeful yet somber emotion of finding someone like you when you've gone so long thinking you're alone. super underrated scene and soundrack
Hands down this is my favorite TV show of all time. I still remember how all of my family members used to watch this in saturday and sunday evenings . Best time of my life . I miss this show and my family too. My entire childhood ...
I know I'm really late, but I just finished watching Merlin for the first time today. And I feel as if my heart is broken after Arthur's death. I felt so lost when I finished. I still feel like crying. But I'm still so so so so happy that I found it eventually. It was extremely worth while and I don't think I've cried this much in forever. I just... My heart feels empty... I can't begin to describe how much I love these characters. Thinking about them warms my heart. But then my heart breaks all over when I remeber them... Taking their last breaths or seeing others do so. I LOVE IT AND I'M LITERALLY SO GRATEFUL I WATCHED IT, however I don't think I'll ever recover.
I remember the soundtrack being one of my favorite parts of the show, it’s so weird how something like a tv show can have such an effect on people. Thus the void in my heart will never be filled, for the once and future king did not rise before the end of the fifth season 😂
the whole family used to get excited on the morning of the next episode & made sure we'd all be finished with chores or whatever to sit as a family with living room lights dimmed for extra special effect, warmth and coziness as we huddled together then ..............sheer bliss and magic fell upon us as we heard the first notes of the haunting & soul igniting theme that had us all sedated towards the screen for a whole hour but felt like 20 mins - Bring it back I say!
I just finished watching a week ago. My heart felt so empty after that last episode. The raw emotions throughout the series and especially when Merlin said "I can't lose him. He's.My.Friend." is so touching and heartbreaking. It's more than just a TV show, it's as if I spent years growing up with the characters on this magical journey and made friends with them all - losing Arthur at the end was like losing an arrogant but caring big brother. Though the finale was sad and I'd definitely wish for a happier ending, I have to admit it was the BEST and most beautiful ending possible. I'll always remember "Merlin" as a show that can truly reach to the depth of my heart.
No one is talking abt the Masterpiece in 5:20 like wth!!! The way the composers altered the main theme to seem more emotional and triumphant is absolutely INSANE. One of my favourite pieces of music that I can’t get on Spotify! 😔
There are so many wonderful things about the Merlin series, but the music was so beautifully done! I've watched the whole series through twice and am on my third viewing. It just doesn't get old! Thank you for this wonderful playlist!
I certainly did not. I have started watching it again for like the milionth time and I don't feel like I love it any less. I get all emotional every single time.
I'm studying but I'm crying because Arthur's dead and merlin's immortal and I've watched the whole show five times and this is my sixth time watching it and I'm on season 5 episode 10 and there's only a few more episodes and each time someone dies I cry like I've never seen the scene and each time Mordred stabbing Arthur comes as a shock to me and Arthur's death is an even bigger shock so each time I sob and now I'm crying again. well done, me.😭
I may be dramatic but this made me cry so ugly and I'm not over the ending yet. This show was so pure and good at the same time. It makes me happy every time when I rewatch the show, like it's still an adventure for me. I hope I'm not the only one who has the same thought as I have.
Back in the day me and my brother would watch this show together, we had a good childhood watching this show and getting to go on the adventures of merlin. This show will always remimd me of my childhood, and will always have a place in my heart
I still think now in 2023 that this series is one of the best ever produced, soundtracks, scripts, characters, all done to perfection and still after years it can give indescribable emotions
2024 and I still can't get over this show. Rewatching it a bazillion times also didn't help me get over the shows ending lol. Im actually still hurting from it. Lancelots death hurt me, Gwaines death destroyed me, and Arthur's death killed me. And knowing Merlin is still waiting for Arthur to rise up again is depressing as hell, he's been to every loved ones funeral. I need Arthur to rise up and hug my damn boy.

Everybody seems to have forgotten the blonde lady from season 5 that literally brought about half the deaths in that season just for some gold off Morgana Edit: her names Eyra (not sure how to spell that), and what's funny was, after like 5 seconds of her being on screen me and the person watching Merlin were like, "she works for Morgana doesn't she". Guess we were right!
2022 and this show still stands strong as something I won't forget; even though days, weeks, months, years may go by, does not mean I forget but I simply remember. This is my stamp of remembrance to the fandom and the show :D
I watched this when I was 7-8 years old, and I had no interest in it whatsoever, but 8 years later, I felt a random urge to try watching it again. This is by far one of the best shows I've ever watched, I'd say it's tied with something else as my very favorite show. The characters are so well made, and the way Arthur and Merlin's lines play off of each other is just phenomenal. *RANT WARNING* However, I think there is one small, but very bad bit of writing that made the ending of the show... un-fulfilling. The two main characters alone build such a visibly strong connection to each other throughout the show, and when one of them is suddenly taken away (Arthur), it's too shocking to the audience for it to be a good ending. Usually a story has an intro, a rising action which builds plot, and creates conflicts that should in most cases be solved, or figured out by the end, a climax, and then a falling action which resolves/ finishes of conflicts built in the rising action, and then there's the conclusion. The climax of this show, I personally think, is the battle between Morgana's army, and Arthur's army in that Canyon, because after that is when Merlin resolves one of the main plot points, and conflicts by revealing to Arthur that he has Magic, therefore starting the falling action. My problem here, is that the whole falling action is set in the last 30-45 minutes of the LAST episode. This was not long enough for the viewers to be satisfied with it, because of how long it took to build up in the first place. Almost none of the main plot points were solved throughout the show, but were instead teased every once and a while to the audience, which built up excitement for when that moment actually came. This means that the resolution of these conflicts would have more impact if they were allowed to sit in our minds for at least as long as we had been waiting for them. But instead, they were suddenly thrown at us, and then gone just a few minutes later. That's the only thing that bugs me about the show, and I had to say something about it. Thanks for reading my rant, if you actually made it through, lol. If you have something to add/ criticize, I read all comments.
The coming of arthur theme feels like arthur's life.. he was born,strive and become a hero and legend but slowly fades away with innocense in his heart ( which was hurt and broken so much but didnot lose goodness within) near the person who treasured him the best... just like that song slowly starts, rises and fades away with childlike innocense..😢
In a land of myth, and a time of magic… the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy. His name… Merlin»..a dignified man who in joining with Arthur, the greatest king ever, participated in the most incredible medieval history of all times which is going to be in our memories forever.
Just binged the whole series and loved it. I don’t think I am ever gonna get over Arthur and Gwaines death though 😭 The music in this series is beautiful ❤️
Je ne saurais pas traduire mes sentiments en anglais en écoutant ces musiques, mes larmes montent tellement vite, les musiciens ont juste fait un instrumental de dingue pour chaque parti, heureuse, triste et j'en passe. Pour moi elle fait partie du top 3 des séries télé. Devant Teen Wolf et Shadowhunters (du même genre fantastique). J'ai dû revoir au moins 10fois toutes les saisons tellement j'adore, elle me procure toujours autant de frissons. 😍😍😍 Gauvain et Merlin les meilleurs ❤️ #TeamMerlin4ever💕, teamfrance !
I'm late to the party too--just finished watching the entire series. Never thought it would appeal--I'm glad I checked it out/was wrong. Full of such love, wonder and beauty. The music was definitely one of my favorite aspects. Thanks so much for posting, for it's hard to keep track of all of the most moving themes!
they really fumbled the plot with this so many times, yet gave us so many amazing stories at the same time so i don’t know whether to be mad or not LOL but merlin always has a place in my heart
26.02.2021... damn this is crazy lol Anyway... I am sitting here, revisiting my childhood and thinking how did I get where I am currently, so many things happened to all of us since the first time we started watching this amazing show that I believe changed us and had some big impact on all of us... revisiting my memories tonight with these melodies hits different, I'm sure its the same for all of us, I hope each and every one of u reading this, finds the happiness he or she seeks... stay safe out there and idk what to say, take risks in life, do more things that make you happy, tell someone how you feel, because we don't have as much time as we think we do.
I'm still here in 2021 and I never realised how much the soundtrack contributed to this legendary series in media history (at least to me). I remember it being my childhood and the sense of discovery is never lost however many times I watch this series. It's truly incredible and thank you for sharing the power its music holds. Long live the once and future king.
Hearing the music played during freya's death and burial even to this day still makes me feel really emotional! 😢😢 Merlin was such a brilliant show and I still miss it so much! 😊😊
honestly, what pulls at my heart with these soundtracks is the writers ability to be able to throw together merlin and arthur's themes together all throughout these pieces, even the ones that don't exactly have anything to do with one or the other. you can always hear merlin somewhere throughout these pieces, whether it's his sorrow, his jealousy, his grief, his love, all of it. and my favorites are the coming of arthur and the bond of sacrifice. in the coming of arthur, you can hear a conversation between merlin and arthur, unspoken words of loyalty and friendship, knowing that they would do anything for each other. and lastly, in the bond of sacrifice, you can hear merlin picking arthur up off the ground. you can hear the love that he has for his king
(platonically or romantically, whichever you fancy) but it's all there either way. you can hear the two sides of the same coin in that song, but most importantly, you can feel the love between a king and his warlock, two complete opposites, and yet the writer is able to show all of the unspoken feelings and thank yous in that piece, and it's heart wretching.

Spoken like a musician 💜
Beautiful...
This is beautiful
I really hope this show isn't forgotten. Even though the writers screwed over the fans on multiple occasions, this show was great. The characters, the character development, and the music all work together to make the masterpiece that this show always will be
It won't be the fandom will make sure of it.
It won’t
I'll always be here. Always and forever.
The story they have been a part of... will live long in the minds of men.
it has to go on, but I think it won't :(
Whose here in 2019? Waiting for Arthur to rise again, when Albion's need is greatest.
Im in 2020 and I wait for it😭😭

I did the same with my family. Its worth more than gold!
yes me too
I finished it today for the first time and the ending just got me... never thought it would become so emotional
Violetpixie we were all gutted by the ending your not alone LOL. The characters and the music though. I'm dying inside XD
Came straight on after Doctor who, my dad and sister used to watch Doctor Who then this. I just finished Merlin it was good.
It’s 2020 and my heart is still in pieces. This show made my heart, shaped me and then broke me into a million pieces. I always will have a place in my soul for this show. Thanks for making my childhood and adulthood amazing.
Such true words have not Been spoken. What really gets me is Freya's theme soo sad 😭😭😭😭

@@dearmalaysia This is me rn
At this point I'm pretty sure full recovery is not going to happen haha
merlin buried so many people , my poor boy i just love him so much 💔
His immortality made him witness even more loved ones deaths..like gaius and gwen. thinking abnout that makes everything even more sad
Arthur and Gwen theme is so gentle and powerful at the same time. It sounds like a promise for eternal love. I am crying
I think Merlin has got to be my favourite TV show. Its soundtrack, character development, writing and settings are just top notch. I'm disappointed that Netflix just removed it from their site. It's really a masterpiece.
In spite of netflix removing it I re-watched it on BBC iplayer like to do every year and it still bring me to tears knowing what will pass.
@@smm9179I do EXACTLY the same thing 😭 it’s tradition in my household
I know Arthur's death is really sad, but when the dragon said to Merlin a few episodes before "I'm tired of it all" that just really got to me. Knowing that he was just waiting for his time to lay down.

My fave is Arthur and Guenevere Theme.
I think Freya's death and burial is really underrated because Freya's death had broken many people's heart and it has made me cry
So to be honest I would choose that as my favourite
And what is best think in that, it was only one episode, 40 min to broke fan's hearts. It's kind of record.
Its not fair that arthur got what he wanted (guinevere) and merlin finally found someone he loved and then she died... i wish she was in it for longer
Really ship both of them
stevs ajhdfrvwhjvbckd I absolutely agree
Nothing on the show can hold any emotional weight over the whole Freya's ark. Simply surreal
merlin revealing his magic to gilli will always be one of my favorite scenes. and the music perfectly captures that hopeful yet somber emotion of finding someone like you when you've gone so long thinking you're alone. super underrated scene and soundrack

the whole family used to get excited on the morning of the next episode & made sure we'd all be finished with chores or whatever to sit as a family with living room lights dimmed for extra special effect, warmth and coziness as we huddled together then ..............sheer bliss and magic fell upon us as we heard the first notes of the haunting & soul igniting theme that had us all sedated towards the screen for a whole hour but felt like 20 mins - Bring it back I say!
I just finished watching a week ago. My heart felt so empty after that last episode. The raw emotions throughout the series and especially when Merlin said "I can't lose him. He's.My.Friend." is so touching and heartbreaking. It's more than just a TV show, it's as if I spent years growing up with the characters on this magical journey and made friends with them all - losing Arthur at the end was like losing an arrogant but caring big brother. Though the finale was sad and I'd definitely wish for a happier ending, I have to admit it was the BEST and most beautiful ending possible. I'll always remember "Merlin" as a show that can truly reach to the depth of my heart.
True 🥺💗
No one is talking abt the Masterpiece in 5:20 like wth!!!
The way the composers altered the main theme to seem more emotional and triumphant is absolutely INSANE.
One of my favourite pieces of music that I can’t get on Spotify! 😔
i know you made your comment a year ago, but it's on spotify now!
@@apothenosis the specific piece at 5:20? Is on Spotify? What name?
@@apothenosis Nevermind I found it now, thanks so much☺️☺️☺️
@@sophiavastra74389 Finale - The Sword in the Stone from series 3 :))
it's so good that it brings happy tears to my eyes, even though I know the series's finale
I miss Merlin. I will rewatch the show. Evrytime i hear this musik I'm full of emotion and memories come back
Mordred & Kara's theme is the best.
I don't think anyone's recovered from the death of Authur yet.
I don't think we ever will😭😭
I'm crying soo hard
It shattered my heart into pieces
I literally have not been the same since
Honestly this music gives me shivers and makes me cry, especially Gwen and Arthur's theme 😍😭
I also love Freya's 😍😭
Destiny Theme!! 9:00 Soooo Beautiful! Sooo Sad!! 😭😭
Jennifer Greaney yes Merlin Arthur💗👍😙👬
makes me cry
I'm literally sitting here trying to write an English paper at 11:30 and sobbing
You right :'(
This is seriously one of the best soundtracks for a series/ movie ever made
There are so many wonderful things about the Merlin series, but the music was so beautifully done! I've watched the whole series through twice and am on my third viewing. It just doesn't get old! Thank you for this wonderful playlist!
Of course! Glad you enjoyed it:)
Nostalgia... 2020 already? Life’s gone by, alas. Nothing left.
It’s 2021 now
It’s 2022 now
i will never recover from this series.... arthur will rise when england needs him most
OMG Its 2017!!! who else didnt recover from this?
Luís Dias i feel you bro
Luís Dias i feel u
watched this shit from the day it started, still utterly heartbroken :((((
I certainly did not. I have started watching it again for like the milionth time and I don't feel like I love it any less. I get all emotional every single time.
me
Childhood nostalgia... every night on TV, I would be so keen to watch Merlin. One of the greatest stories and tv shows out there - a rare jewel
So clean,so decent,very beautiful in every way.... Merlin for me now and forever.
its 2019 and i still cry every time i hear the gwen and arthur theme
I’m crying rn 🥺😔
"merlin you are not a sorcerer, I would know" 9:13
my heart
😭
😩😭🥲
well that was an emotional rollercoaster
I'm studying but I'm crying because Arthur's dead and merlin's immortal and I've watched the whole show five times and this is my sixth time watching it and I'm on season 5 episode 10 and there's only a few more episodes and each time someone dies I cry like I've never seen the scene and each time Mordred stabbing Arthur comes as a shock to me and Arthur's death is an even bigger shock so each time I sob and now I'm crying again. well done, me.😭
Well technically he’s not dead, he’s sleeping in Avalon and will return one day.
Wow! When 6:40 hits I get goosebumps
I love merlin I miss the Serie so much😢💓
10:37 killed me all over again
I'm crying
It hurts so much god
It hurts, especially the bond of sacrifice
Best series ever. This makes me sad and happy at the same time.
xLaiiiax x nice pic
xLaiiiax x i love merlin !!!
Merlin outlived everyone and gave up his happiness for the betterment of everyone. Probably one of the most tragic characters in fiction.
I may be dramatic but this made me cry so ugly and I'm not over the ending yet. This show was so pure and good at the same time. It makes me happy every time when I rewatch the show, like it's still an adventure for me. I hope I'm not the only one who has the same thought as I have.
Omg me too, the music is so damn powerful to the point where it had me ugly crying, thats how you know Merlin had one of the best soundtracks ever.
@@mariah3053 Agreed
Back in the day me and my brother would watch this show together, we had a good childhood watching this show and getting to go on the adventures of merlin. This show will always remimd me of my childhood, and will always have a place in my heart
I still think now in 2023 that this series is one of the best ever produced, soundtracks, scripts, characters, all done to perfection and still after years it can give indescribable emotions
The world seemed to be a darker place when Merlin ended...
2024 and I still can't get over this show. Rewatching it a bazillion times also didn't help me get over the shows ending lol. Im actually still hurting from it. Lancelots death hurt me, Gwaines death destroyed me, and Arthur's death killed me. And knowing Merlin is still waiting for Arthur to rise up again is depressing as hell, he's been to every loved ones funeral. I need Arthur to rise up and hug my damn boy.
13 dislikes.....
Well....Let’s see......
1) Morgana
2) Uther

10) .................. the king who gives a love potion to Vivian and Arthur
11)Nimueh
12) ..............The questing beast?????
13) I don’t know ............ aaaahhh........ The deroca!
Kara
The dude with the snake shield?
@@GooseGodGeb umm.. No I think that's valiant from episode 2 of season 1. I was talking about the druid girl that Mordred likes from season 5.
@@acsahkulasingham8017 Oh, right.
Everybody seems to have forgotten the blonde lady from season 5 that literally brought about half the deaths in that season just for some gold off Morgana
Edit: her names Eyra (not sure how to spell that), and what's funny was, after like 5 seconds of her being on screen me and the person watching Merlin were like, "she works for Morgana doesn't she". Guess we were right!
2022 and this show still stands strong as something I won't forget; even though days, weeks, months, years may go by, does not mean I forget but I simply remember. This is my stamp of remembrance to the fandom and the show :D
Personally speaking Colin morgan and katie mcgrath both deserves an oscar..
So underated
Still crying to this - 2018, anyone else who can relate?
that sound, ladies and gentlemen, was the punch to my bruised gut.
Ugh! *screams in throat* My stomach can't stomach this many feels !!!!
It's 2024...Still these sound tracks made a masterpiece❤❤💫💫
2022 and i still love this
I have seen all of the merlin and still keep watching because of the wonderful music and the wonderful characters xxx
I just re-watched the entire series again in 2019.
Every year I rewatch the series. One of my favourites 😍
And me in 2020
First time watching in 2021! I hope this show lives on forever. I will never forget it ❤
2024 here
Who is watching the lovely serie in 2020???
12:36
IT MAKES ME CRY
I LOVE ITTTT :'(((((
I know...that song is the best/worst. :'(
ik :'(
Lyra Moore yes
I watched this when I was 7-8 years old, and I had no interest in it whatsoever, but 8 years later, I felt a random urge to try watching it again. This is by far one of the best shows I've ever watched, I'd say it's tied with something else as my very favorite show. The characters are so well made, and the way Arthur and Merlin's lines play off of each other is just phenomenal.
*RANT WARNING*
However, I think there is one small, but very bad bit of writing that made the ending of the show... un-fulfilling. The two main characters alone build such a visibly strong connection to each other throughout the show, and when one of them is suddenly taken away (Arthur), it's too shocking to the audience for it to be a good ending. Usually a story has an intro, a rising action which builds plot, and creates conflicts that should in most cases be solved, or figured out by the end, a climax, and then a falling action which resolves/ finishes of conflicts built in the rising action, and then there's the conclusion. The climax of this show, I personally think, is the battle between Morgana's army, and Arthur's army in that Canyon, because after that is when Merlin resolves one of the main plot points, and conflicts by revealing to Arthur that he has Magic, therefore starting the falling action.
My problem here, is that the whole falling action is set in the last 30-45 minutes of the LAST episode. This was not long enough for the viewers to be satisfied with it, because of how long it took to build up in the first place. Almost none of the main plot points were solved throughout the show, but were instead teased every once and a while to the audience, which built up excitement for when that moment actually came. This means that the resolution of these conflicts would have more impact if they were allowed to sit in our minds for at least as long as we had been waiting for them. But instead, they were suddenly thrown at us, and then gone just a few minutes later. That's the only thing that bugs me about the show, and I had to say something about it.
Thanks for reading my rant, if you actually made it through, lol. If you have something to add/ criticize, I read all comments.
who is still trying to recover in 2021?
I’m still trying to recover in 2024 😂
The coming of arthur theme feels like arthur's life.. he was born,strive and become a hero and legend but slowly fades away with innocense in his heart ( which was hurt and broken so much but didnot lose goodness within) near the person who treasured him the best... just like that song slowly starts, rises and fades away with childlike innocense..😢
Just beautiful, 14:10 is my favorite part
Im here🙌🏾🥰2024
In a land of myth, and a time of magic… the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy. His name… Merlin»..a dignified man who in joining with Arthur, the greatest king ever, participated in the most incredible medieval history of all times which is going to be in our memories forever.
The theme (motif?) for Gwen & Arthur stans side by side amongst the greatest tunes every created in my opinion...
The most beautiful melody ❤️❤️❤️
Just binged the whole series and loved it. I don’t think I am ever gonna get over Arthur and Gwaines death though 😭 The music in this series is beautiful ❤️
GWAINEEEEEE😭
Je ne saurais pas traduire mes sentiments en anglais en écoutant ces musiques, mes larmes montent tellement vite, les musiciens ont juste fait un instrumental de dingue pour chaque parti, heureuse, triste et j'en passe. Pour moi elle fait partie du top 3 des séries télé. Devant Teen Wolf et Shadowhunters (du même genre fantastique). J'ai dû revoir au moins 10fois toutes les saisons tellement j'adore, elle me procure toujours autant de frissons. 😍😍😍 Gauvain et Merlin les meilleurs ❤️ #TeamMerlin4ever💕, teamfrance !
lancelot’s burial is truly a masterpiece. its actually so beautiful
I have a theme songs playlist on Spotify and these are all on it cause they’re literally just so beautiful!! Merlin is for sure my favorite show
2022 ? 😭😭😭🥺 Merlin will always make me cry
Use me as " make a new season with the come back of arthour " button ( staring : Bradley James and Colin Morgan)
Super
Why does merlin songs hit my heart so hard
I'm late to the party too--just finished watching the entire series. Never thought it would appeal--I'm glad I checked it out/was wrong. Full of such love, wonder and beauty. The music was definitely one of my favorite aspects. Thanks so much for posting, for it's hard to keep track of all of the most moving themes!
2020 still recovering?
they really fumbled the plot with this so many times, yet gave us so many amazing stories at the same time so i don’t know whether to be mad or not LOL but merlin always has a place in my heart
one of my very first shows i ever watched.............so many feelings...........
26.02.2021... damn this is crazy lol
Anyway... I am sitting here, revisiting my childhood and thinking how did I get where I am currently, so many things happened to all of us since the first time we started watching this amazing show that I believe changed us and had some big impact on all of us... revisiting my memories tonight with these melodies hits different, I'm sure its the same for all of us, I hope each and every one of u reading this, finds the happiness he or she seeks... stay safe out there and idk what to say, take risks in life, do more things that make you happy, tell someone how you feel, because we don't have as much time as we think we do.
2019 and missing this I have found no other show like this
2019 anyone?
2020 my dear friend.
One of the best thing happened on the world. Merlin series need more views. This series is masterpiece.
2019 August and I can’t get over this still
I'm still here in 2021 and I never realised how much the soundtrack contributed to this legendary series in media history (at least to me). I remember it being my childhood and the sense of discovery is never lost however many times I watch this series. It's truly incredible and thank you for sharing the power its music holds.
Long live the once and future king.
2024 anyone ??? I miss them sm😭💚
Here
Hearing the music played during freya's death and burial even to this day still makes me feel really emotional! 😢😢 Merlin was such a brilliant show and I still miss it so much! 😊😊
