Hump Day Music: Sons of Skyrim

With everything that went on last week, it was a little too busy to put up  a new edition of Hump Day Music.  For those who missed not having Hump Day Music to help them get over the hump, I hope this week's edition makes up for it.  While by now, you know my love for another game with Sky in its name (one hint, it is not Skylanders), I have to give credit to another game with Sky in its name, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.  Over the past two months, the land of Skyrim has captured the hearts of many gamers.  I have not personally played it yet, but I hope to eventually.  Probably when Bethesda releases the Game of the Year edition with all the expansions or the 5th Anniversary edition with some Behind the Scenes content.

Even though I have not played it yet, one aspect of Skyrim has already impressed me.  That aspect is the game's epic orchestrated soundtrack.  If there was a way to get the soundtrack for Skyrim and many other games on CD or iTunes, I would definitely purchase them.  The track I am sharing with you today is one I cannot stop listening to and even try to sing along with, but fail as it is in another language.  It is Skyrim's main theme, Sons of Skyrim.  If you have seen the Official Gameplay Trailer for Skyrim, you have heard the song and quite possibly tried to sing along with the incredible male choir for the chorus.  It is a song that gets your heart pumping.  As I associate the song with the game, it makes me feel like I want to grab an axe a slay some dragons.  So before you go pick up your axe and slay some dragons, take a few minutes to one of the best pieces of music from 2011.
