New song. And not TF2 filk this time! …Instead it’s Dragon Age II filk. Big difference. You can still enjoy it if you don’t play the game though.
I’m sorry, but Isabella is just too much of a BAMF to not have a song full of sexy sailing double entendres written about her.

Lyrics:Give me a deep blue ocean
And an open sky
The fickle kiss of lady-luck
and forget father time
Give me a challenge
give me a ‘x’ to find
I will spend my days in salty sprays
of every kind
And if you want me then you’d better be a pirate
You have this look, I’m hooked, I’m pretty sure I like it
But I won’t be here forever
I’m a storm that can’t be weathered
A ship to which no port is tethered and
you’ll never have better
So let me go
I’ll come back running, if the sea says so
Let me go
And you’ll see me running to the sea shells, oh.
Be my first mate
Oh I can’t wait for you to let me go
Nananananananananana…
Give me a laugh, lover
Give me a good tease
I’m more impressed by cleverness
than morality
So find a me a ship in a bottle
or a bottle of any kind
I will spend my days in wild ways
Until I go blind
And if you want me then you better be a scoundrel
I’ve got no time for little dogs that run around going
faster just to chase me
I prefer the other way, see
I like a little play
But at the end of the day you’ll have to
Let me go
I’ll come back running, if the sea says so
Let me go
And you’ll see me running to the sea shells, oh.
Be my first mate
oh, I can’t wait
for you to get with me
Maybe I’m shallow
But I’m not empty
I’m easy to catch, not to easy to keep
But I could drown in your eyes
They’re so and blue and deep
And I’m off to discover a land like no other
Your hand’s on my wheel, in command of your rudder
Love is a tempest, it’s wild but it passes
Love me like the ocean, endless and vast
Let me go…
Let me go…

Wanderer (Hymn to Fen’Harel) – Will Sturman
So a while ago I thought “I should write a song about Dragon Age, totally from scratch.” And a little voice at the back of my mind said “write about Solas” and made this face ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I’m calling this a hymn, but in truth I could just as easily call it “Solas, your head is so far up your ass Varric’s calling it a Deep Roads expedition, please stop.”
Always Be Here – The Doubleclicks
“Always Be Here,” by The Doubleclicks
this is…a very relateable breakup song.
A Night to Remember Lullaby – Witcher 3
Wolves are sleeping ‘midst the trees,
Bats all are swaying in the breeze,
But one soul lies anxious wide awake,
Fearing all manner of ghouls, hags and wraiths.
Birds are silent for the night,
Cows turn in as daylight dies,
But one soul lies anxious wide awake,
For the witcher, brave and bold, paid in coin of gold,
He’ll chop and slice you, gut and dice you, eat you up whole,
Eat you whole.
The Girl in Red Crossing – Ingrid Windsland
Cosplaying Maryden Halewell (the tavern bard from Dragon Age Inquisition) makes me want to sing ALL the songs, but some of them don’t have melodies, which means I have to make melodies for them myself. 😉
This one is The Girl in Red Crossing. Hope you like it! ^_^
She of the Highwaymen Repents – Ingrid Windsland
I composed music to yet another unsung BioWare song from Dragon Age Inquisition and performed it as Maryden Halewell! Hope you like it! 😄
The Silver Knight – Will Sturman
Another song you can find lyrics to in Dragon Age: Inquisition, this one about the conquest of the Dales (if you don’t play Dragon Age, that means it’s about KILLING ELVES, and that’s all the context you really need). I may have come up with this tune at 2 AM in a hotel room at Dragon Con.
Credit to @sharkalanche, who was finishing her armor in that hotel room at Dragon Con and is the reason I didn’t just go the fuck to sleep, and @mostfacinorous, who still technically owns the mandolin I’ve been using.
The lyrics are here, and my chords are Em / D / Bm A / Bm Em
(I screw up the words at one point but YOU KNOW WHAT there are A LOT OF WORDS IN THIS)
The Battle Hymn of the Murder Hobos – Metricula
I have simple tastes, and calling RPG protagonists murder hobos is one of them.
“Battle Hymn of the Murder Hobos,” by Metricula. More songs on her website
I will follow you into the dark (Warden/Alistair) -Aileen O-M
I said I would do the thing and I have done the thing.
Mage Warden singing to a romanced Alistair.

Our second zine is a go! Please e-mail all submissions.
This seems relevant to our next Pathfinder session…
I reckon this might be relevant to some of your interests.
