Dragon and Man is about the dichotomy of emotions that surely must have torn Tiber Septim on his way to godhood. The music itself represents this duality, flowing from the freedom of man to the raging majesty of Dovah and back repeatedly.

Talos was a mighty man, born Stormcrown of Atmora and destined for greatness as Ysmir, the Dragon of the North. His dragon blood granted by Akatosh, the Father of the Dov, represented his intellect, his passion, his regal presence, and his divine right. His nordic blood was his honor, his compassion, his baser instincts, and his humanity. Together, these formed a whole man of Tamriel, and yet not of Tamriel. When Talos rose to make the Eight the Nine, he embodied the best characteristics of Dragon and Man.

This midi song is a driving rock piece with a steady drum beat in 4/4 that follows the motif of duality, shifting between vocals (represented by a trumpet sound) and a flowing piano. The bass line is ever-present, keeping the music grounded. An instrumental section toward the end further highlights the dichotomy in the different parts.

Deceit is the tool of the desperate, some say. This song is an homage to Clavicus Vile, the Daedric Prince of trickery, power, and wishes, and his pet servant Barbas, a daedra who often takes the appearance of a faithful hound to enforce and protect his master's interests.

While the other instrumentation is correct, this midi version has a trumpet sound subbed in for the vocals. The song is intended to sound light and poppy, but with dark lyrics. This is also reflected in the consistently low tone of the vocals.
