Thought I'd add my two cents if that's alright! I really love "The Riften Bard Song" and "The Blacksmith." Both of them are really beautiful and fit in really well with both Vilja's character and the game. A similar song that I thought of that I think would be awesome for Vilja to sing is "Scarborough Fair." It's an old English folk song (like the Blacksmith, I believe; Scarborough Fair possibly has Scottish roots). It has an interesting feel to it.

Simon & Garfunkel did a famous version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BakWVXHSug

There's a secondary song mixed in there too, but it's still good as an example. It has a repeated line "Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme" which is a more recent addition, but I feel it kinda fits with Vilja's alchemy experience. 

Here's a second, more tradition version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiZJP_XLmrQ

The secondary is called "Canticle".

Here's the S&G version;


On the side of a hill in the deep forest green
Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown
Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call

On the side of a hill in the sprinkling of leaves
Washes the grave with silvery tears
A soldier cleans and polishes a gun
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call

War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions
Generals order their soldiers to kill
And to fight for a cause they have long ago forgotten

[Bard Skye]

Johnny Jump Up has always been a favorite.

Here's a version done by the Bedlam Bards.

(Hope this works)
