I had the unbelievable opportunity to compose music for several bard songs for Elder Scrolls Online. This is a cover arrangement of one of them. :) Many, many thanks for all your support these past few years that led to this happening! I love you guys!

I had every intention of recording this properly and with a video. :( I wasn't able to. Boo, Maloofus.

But I still wanted to share what I have of the arrangement. Maybe next year I'll finally be able to record some proper holiday music. haha! :D

I wish you guys the happiest of holidays. Thank you for all the support and encouragement you've given me over the last few years. 

Much, much love to you from Mexico,

Malu

********************************************
Reignite (Lyrics by Malukah)

Hope can drown lost in thunderous sound
Fear can claim what little faith remains

But I carry strength from souls now gone
They won't let me give in...

I will never surrender
We'll free the Earth and sky
Crush my heart into embers
And I will reignite...
I will reignite

Death will take those who fight alone
But united we can break a fate once set in stone

Just hold the line until the end
Cause we will give them hell...

I will never surrender
We'll free the Earth and sky
Crush my heart into embers
And I will reignite...
I will reignite.

Reignite - Mass Effect Tribute Song

I can't thank you guys enough for supporting All of the Above, whether the full album or individual songs. It makes my day to know you are enjoying the music and the lyrics. Those tracks mean a lot to me. I recorded that album for fun and to have something to remember one of the most amazing times of my life, and some of the best friends and coolest musicians I've known. I never expected to make another one... Years passed and it wasn't until now that you have encouraged me to do so. Thank you! 

Covered in Red is one of the songs that I most often hear from you guys that you like, so here's a live version with a full band! My apologies for the sound, it's not great. But... well... call it a bootleg. hahaha! :D This performance is from an outdoor festival in Monterrey, México <3 <3 <3

Malu on Bandcamp

Covered in Red Live - Thank you!

I practice for covers by recording demos of the songs. Here's a short clip of the first Tale of the Tongues demo... which has my favorite part of the the whole Skyrim soundtrack. :D

SneakPeak: Tale of the Tongues tiny clip

Tale of the Tongues - Skyrim Cover

I started writing this song while going to rehab sessions for a minor injury. Nothing could ever compete with the music of Skyrim, of course, but it's fun to try to write while thinking about the game and the world, the vibe. :) I'll see if I can finish it and share it!

Fire, fire, dragon fire
Searing words of ancient ire
Wake, wake from the grave
Rise to set the world aflame

Night, night, endless night
Terror is the the only light
Bane, bane, rage untamed
Darkness dwells in age-old blame

Malu's Original Bard Song Tribute to Skyrim - Work in progress :D

Fear Not This Night
Music by Jeremy Soule
Lyrics by Jeremy Soule & Ree Soesbee

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way

Awaken from a quiet sleep
Hear the whispering of the wind
Awaken as the silence grows
In the solitude of the night

Darkness spreads through all the land
And your weary eyes open silently
Sunsets have forsaken all
The most far off horizons

Nightmares come when shadows grow
Eyes close and heartbeats slow

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way

And you can always be strong
Lift your voice with the first light of dawn

Dawn's just a heartbeat away
Hope's just a sunrise away

Distant sounds of melodies
Darting through the night to your heart
Auroras, mists, and echoes dance
In the solitude of our life

Pleading, sighing arias
Gently grieving in captive misery
Darkness sings a forlorn song
Yet our hope can still rise up

Nightmares come when shadows roam
Lift your voice, lift your hope

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way

And though the night sky's filled with blackness
Fear not, rise up, call out and take my hand

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
(Still the stars find their way)

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
(Still the stars find their way)

And you can always be strong
Lift your voice with the first light of dawn

Dawn's just a heartbeat away
Hope's just a sunrise away



Fear Not This Night - Guild Wars 2 Cover by Taylor Davis, Lara, and Malukah

Frozen Sleep - Halo 4 Cortana Tribute

Working on mobile games is so much fun, especially when I get to also work on some sound effects. :) Here's a sneak peak at the menu music and some in-game sound effects from a recent project.

Some iOS Game Sounds

I always wanted to try this. :) So much fun to sing it!

I think the reverb is 27 seconds long. hahaha!! 

Update: Guys, thank you so much for the comments you have left on the track! Big hug to you all.

You guys,

Thank you for making this happen. The support you've shown over the last year and a half led to this opportunity to work with Zenimax Online Studios. They asked me to write a fan song for the Elder Scrolls community, based on the ESO story. :)

I will be sharing more info about the writing process of this song soon, but I just wanted to say that I read in the lore that the word Tamriel means "Dawn's Beauty". That's why the song ended up being called Beauty of Dawn. :)

Thank you for watching. Always. Thank you. 

Love,
Malu


Beauty of Dawn

A serpent lights the ancient sky
A threat of tainted stars
Evil stirs and in its wake
The souls of mortals sway

Sorrow reigns
Over fields of red
Spirits pace
Through the shadows cast by their graves

These are days and nights of venom and blood
Heroes will rise as the anchors fall
Brave the strife, reclaim every soul
That belongs to the Beauty of Dawn

Darkness strikes to blind the strong
But Faith will guide our swords
Loyal hearts we'll stand as one
And fight with shields of Hope

Pride fuels the deadly fire
That devours our tower of gold
The drums of war will rage and roar
'Til the sun burns bright once more

These are days and nights of venom and blood
Heroes will rise as the anchors fall
Brave the strife, reclaim every soul
That belongs to the Beauty of Dawn

Beauty of Dawn - Elder Scrolls Online song by Malukah

I never thought I could cross a "too much reverb" limit... because to me, reverb=happiness. I believe I went overboard with this. hahaha! :D Anyway... I am not sure if this section will end up in the final cover that I'm working on... It was just something I recorded for fun because I love how the original version sounds and I wanted to try to recreate it. :)
