I Am the Distraction | A Halfling Bard's Rowdy Tavern Song (Lyrics Video)

#DnDMusic #BardSong #TavernMusic A halfling bard climbs onto the nearest tavern table before anyone can ask why. This upbeat D&D bard song follows the halfling who volunteers for every infiltration job nobody else wants — not the lockpicking, just the loudest distraction a room has ever seen. A medieval tavern song for every fantasy folk fan who knows the best heist is sung at full volume. "Eyes on me!" she calls, and every eye in the room obeys. Nobody watches the door when a halfling is singing. By the second chorus, her party was already gone. — Songs of a Bard 🎲 The Bard's Wares Gear I'd stake my lute on, traveler: ◦ ⚔️ The greatest D&D adventure on screen → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBRB73GD?... ◦ 🐉 Your first adventure starts here → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09V84WNPK?... ◦ 🎲 Dice that roll like destiny → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F817H27?... ◦ 📖 The adventurer's tome → https://www.amazon.com/dp/0786969822?...

They said "we need ten minutes and a door that no one guards." So I climbed the nearest table and I dealt myself the cards. I don't pick locks, I don't do stealth, I've never thrown a punch — but nobody has ever watched a window while I sung. So put your elbows on the table, put your coin down on the wood. I'm about to be the loudest thing that ever did you good. I am the distraction! (She is the distraction!) Keep your eyes on me! I am the distraction! (She is the distraction!) Don't look where they'll be! Clap along, sing it wrong, get another round — by the time you find the ending, we'll be out of town! The barkeep's got a favourite song, the guard has got a bet, the duchess wants a verse about the finest man she's met. I gave them all three encores and I gave them all a bow — my friends were in the vault by the second chorus, somehow. Nobody counts the exits when a halfling hits a note. Nobody guards a strongbox with a laugh stuck in their throat. I am the distraction! (She is the distraction!) Keep your eyes on me! I am the distraction! (She is the distraction!) Don't look where they'll be! Clap along, sing it wrong, get another round — by the time you find the ending, we'll be out of town! I've been thrown from better taverns, I've been booed off louder floors, I have never once been quiet and I've opened every door. The rogue can take the credit, let the fighter take the blame — the reason that it worked at all is nobody said my name. No sword. No spell. No shadow on the wall. No plan that ever needed me to whisper. Just me, up here, being far too loud for all of you — and every single one of you still looking. There was one night in the harbour — I will not be taking questions — where I held the room so sweetly that they followed me outside. The rogue was in the rafters and the wizard's in the cellar, and I signed four hundred napkins while my party had to hide. So if you ever hear me start a tune you've never heard before — check your purse, watch your cousin, and do not open that door. I am the distraction! (She is the distraction!) Keep your eyes on me! I am the distraction! (She is the distraction!) That's the whole strategy! Clap along, sing it wrong, get another round — we were gone before the second verse. You never heard a sound. I am the distraction. I have always been the distraction. Somebody's already gone. Somebody's already out. And you are still, still watching me. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Songs of a Bard is a fireside corner of the fantasy world, where original bard songs and clever folk tales bring adventurers together — one song, one mug at a time.
