My Mother Told Me, the song King Harald sings in the show Vikings. (And Ive heard rumors that it might show up in Assassins Creed: Valhalla too… do you think they should use it?)

Check out my Assassins Creed Valhalla cover of When Horns Resound:

Its been a long time since Ive last posted a song from a TV show. And theres nothing like binge-watching five seasons of Vikings to put you in the mood for some sea shanties! So heres my version of King Haralds song, My Mother Told Me. Since the original song has only the vocal melody, I wrote the guitar arrangement and harmonies myself, and made them different on each verse. I hope you enjoy it! =)
