Alexander Rybak - Return (inspired by Toothless) | #MusicMonday2018

Image result for toothless
"Ariel! Why are you starting a #MusicMonday2018 with a picture of Hiccup and Toothless? "

Well...do you guys remember Alexander Rybak? The adorkable Norwegian singer, composer, violinist? If not, read about him here

Over the break, I spent some time with some friends and we had a sleepover (which means little sleep and lots of movies lol). One of the movies we watched was How to Train Your Dragon, which was promptly followed by How to Train Your Dragon 2. This reminded me of this musical gem that you've probably never heard of.

To bring you guys up to speed, did you know that Alexander Rybak was the Norwegian voice actor for none other than *drumroll*

Hiccup!! In both movies! <3
You weren't expecting that, were you?! ;)

-----------------------------------------

So who better to write a song inspired by Toothless about friendship and flying that a man who has voice-acted as our beloved Hiccup himself? <3

I love the chill vibes of this piece...The professional quality of the sound, the insane skills of this man on this violin, and the beautiful harmonies all make for some delicious ear candy.



I hope you love this song and that you go back and rewatch those movies!
This video is slightly more unique coming from Alexander because he tends to make full-blown MVs and this one has a "closer to home" feeling, which is very endearing lol :D

Who else loves HTTYD and HTTYD2? Comment below with what your favorite part of the movie was. 

MY personal favorites from HTTYD was pretty much any part of Hiccup+Toothless' interactions and HTTYD2 favorites were the dance+song between Stoick and Valka (not expounding on who they are to avoid spoilers for those of you who haven't watched it), as well as any part with Astrid+Stormfly (Astrid became a new favorite character in HTTYD2, didn't care much for her in HTTYD) and Hiccup+Toothless, as well as the ending where Toothless is all glowy and blue (to avoid too many spoilers).

Hope you enjoyed this #MusicMonday2018!
See you all Wednesday!
