When will ESO have an Awesome Title Song

This is a great game and I love everything about it, I am obsessed by it and addicted to it. Another thing I would love to strike off my bucket list is an awesome song for ESO with vocals/lyrics.

The type of song I imagine could be similar to the end credit version of Beowolf Beowulf.

Edit: I love the music/songs that are already available, I am looking for something with inspirational vocals/lyrics so added that to the OP.

    I have to say I enjoy ESO's music. I often leave the game on the log in screen just for the music while i work on other projects.
    Ummm stuff… about stuff…or something.

    The music is one of ESO's best traits.

    I agree, and that is why I am looking for a song with vocals and inspiring lyrics.

    when you start bringing lyrics into it, you have a whole bunch of new things to consider. for people like me, having words to process makes it way less dramatic overall -- and i generally think drama is what they're going for in TES music -- because instead of just hearing the themes you're dragging the left-brain into the whole thing just to analyze some vocals, which can take someone way out of a piece. that's apart from the fact that while one person might find some lyrics inspiring, to another it'll sound like a cringey ball of cheese.

    then you've got the fact that this game has clients in multiple languages. some people just can't get in on lyrics that don't rhyme, it'll take them right out of the song, and to write words that rhyme in each supported language and are good -- let alone not utter gibberish -- is nearly impossible.

    i think that's part of why the Skyrim theme worked: it had vocals, but they were sung in a language that noone processed naturally the first time the game loaded up. the only person who even tried to hear words rather than voices on Day 1 was the cryptolinguicist who had stalked the game designers. most of us didn't even know there was a dragon language for the Skyrim Men's Chorus to be singing in, so the piece flowed like it was just vocals.

    i think it sounds like a really hard thing to pull off, and the odds of failure are much greater than those of success, and big businesses don't usually go that route.

    I don't think they will ever do this - partly because of what @swippy said above, but also because they change the theme sometimes for major updates - recognisable vocals will limit their ability to do this.

    Please put the Eyevea/EarthForge wayshrines back on the map?

    I thought Malukah's "Beauty Of Dawn" was ESO's title music for the game. You hear it for the credits and before most every ESO Live:
