📋 About This Mod
This mod is being uploaded with Malukah's express permission and is a direct re-upload from my original skyrim version.

Please note that I cannot turn up the volume any more then I already have. Skyrim limits the maximum volume for main menu music. This song is sang in a soft voice so it will not be as loud as the default music. Turn up the volume on your speakers to hear it clearly.
Best Regards.
A compact audio mod that swaps Skyrim Special Edition's main menu music for Malukah's cover of 'Tales of the Tongue.' With 724 endorsements and over 15,000 downloads, it's a popular choice for players seeking a fresh, bardic take on the iconic theme. Simple to install and purely cosmetic.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 724 endorsements and 15k downloads—clearly a hit.
- Gives the main menu a fresh, bardic vibe that fits Skyrim's atmosphere.
- Drop-in install, no hassle—just replace the music file and you're good.
⚠️ Cons
- Only changes the menu music—if you wanted more audio overhauls, this won't cut it.
- Last updated in 2016, so it might not be tested with the latest Skyrim SE patches.
- Potential conflict with other mods that alter the same menu music file.
For Skyrim SE players who want a subtle, atmospheric change to the main menu without overhauling the whole audio experience. If you're a fan of Malukah's covers or just tired of the default theme, this is a quick win. Skip if you're looking for comprehensive audio mods or if you're on the original Skyrim (not SE).
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're on Skyrim Special Edition, not the original—this mod is for SE only.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- If you have other mods that change menu music, install this one last to ensure it takes effect.
