I like how the music during the choir bits sounds vaguely like carnival music. It's so out of place, and it works so well because of that.

Out of curiosity, could you post the instrumental version of this song (or at least have it come with an album you wish to add to)? I love the lyrics, but the instruments in the background would make awesome background music to create a dark and creepy feeling for a villain or something.

If you love spooky cathedral themes then you're gonna LOVE the one I have coming <3 And I officially love you for your favorite games are my favorite games. Medieval was the best game ever (part 1 not 2) and I even had a limited edition Raziel action figure! If only they'd have made a Sir Daniel Fortesque fig.

"Schauen Sie hier"? That's pretty formal. Better would be "Schau hier". And yes "Nachtmahr" is an archaic term for "nightmare" in German (the modern term would be "Albtraum"). That's quite good, it just has this whole "spooky cathedral" theme going on here and my favorite games have spooky cathedrals in them (Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain, Medievil etc.). Nice job.

German is so damn cool, right up there with Norwegian and Finnish. The Germanic languages have that nice edge to them that lends itself well to story telling and music. They just say that because you can't be as delicate when you say lovey-dovey lines like "Ich liebe dich" lol. Small price to pay in my opinion.

Fey Prevesk 2012-07-20 02:43:10

Wouldn't that actually be rather appropriate here though, since this doesn't seem to be talking about a nightmare so much as The Nightmare, in this case Nightmare Moon, which certainly fits the idea of the horse of bad dreams type myth?

There's an instrumental in the album ^^ That celesta counterpoint is the same on all verses except for the 3/4 time choir breaks. Hehe, I took one recording and had my way with it in Melodyne xD That's the same take 3 different times with pitch and overtone messing.

Until the hero comes to save the day! See there's: Lunar Coronation, (unreleased song), Der Nachtmahr, (unreleased song), Luna's Repentance, and then some other songs I haven't thought of yet to complete the series.

I really liked this song. A lot. And it's totally not because I'm biased towards Luna or anything. Nope... Nope... Anyway, one thing I would like to say: I feel the lyrics would have been better sung by a female. Not knocking the singer, he was excellent, I just feel that the song would have... flowed? Flowed a bit better. Also, is there a separate vector for that eclipse picture you used in the start of the video? So much do want with that one.

I know the word is "Alptraum" but I got the word/name "Nachtmahr" off of the German Industrial/EBM artist of that name. I just knew it meant nightmare because they look so similar and it has "nacht" in it lol. But see! Only Europeans have cool things like that! gah, not fair sometimes >.>

HAHAHA thanks. But you know that we don't use that word in regular conversations, right? And nachtmahr doesn't really mean nightmare either, the correct German word would be alptraum. Google Translate is a dirty liar :\. A nachtmahr is a legitimate mythological creature, who makes your worst dream come true, or something like that.

Sadly not many people do. If the topic German comes up on the Internet I always see negative responses, to put it nicely. There are some exceptions, like the MLP related parts of the Internet. Maybe it's due to the fact that these people still associate German with...."the dark times of Germany" and not much else. Or maybe it's because nobody really likes to defend it. Even most Germans hate the German synchronizations of almost everything, so why should we defend the German language?

Miu is impossible to reach and maintain said communication for long. Which is a shame since she is the only Brony coloratura soprano. I always wanted a male voice for this though, not enough popular music is written for baritones or basses anymore and they are my brethren lol. Along with you know, 80% of other men hehe

No. It is referring to Nightmare Moon and not the literal Nightmare. Since Nightmare Moon is female it would be Die.

What's wrong with Shamrock's voice? He IS a trained singer, he was in a men's choir as a bass.

LaRaikaa 2012-07-19 10:58:15

It had to be for a Baritone range sorry. I'm just so sick of people glorifying tenors in popular music these days. Plus I felt that a male voice would have more of an aggressive feel to it. Granted, Shammy is not the most aggressive singer ever but he does work quickly <3.

Of course I kid, but yeah Germans shouldn't be heckled for "that one time" anymore. It was 80 years ago for f**k's sake! You should defend it because how many languages can take a boring word like "nightmare" and remake it as "nachtmahr"? Dat h before the r is HNNNNG
