For anyone who doesn't know this song was originally writen and sung by an amazing artist named Shawn James. I highly recomend you go give the original a listen, along with his other songs, if you like this one then you will love his other ones. The entire album "Shadows" is a masterpiece
I love his music, I fangirled so hard when I heard this song and ellie singing it in the trailer. My favorite songs of his are Shadow and Burn the witch.
Thank you! Pt 2 was such a heartbreaking, emotional journey and a fantastic, complex story that I still think about to this day. So glad to see other people who think so as well 🙏🏻
I definitely agree. Everything but the story was absolutely fantastic!! It definitely would’ve been the best video game ever if the story was properly thought out and out together
LYRICS I walk through the valley of the shadow of death And I fear no evil because I'm blind to it all And my mind and my gun they comfort me Because I know I'll kill my enemies when they come Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life And I will dwell on this earth forevermore Said, I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul But I can't walk on the path of the right because I'm wrong Well, I came upon a man at the top of a hill Called himself the savior of the human race Said he come to save the world from destruction and pain But I said, "How can you save the world from itself?" 'Cause I walk through the valley of the shadow of death And I fear no evil because I'm blind Oh, and I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul But I know when I die my soul is damned
When you still haven’t healed yet, so you need to listen to a cover song to be able to enjoy without crying. Though, it still made me tremble. Very nice vocals and excellent control. Nice job
Perfection. This is the definition of perfection. “Perfection (Per-fec-shun): 1:The cover of Through The Valley by Reinaeiry. 2:All other works of Reinaeiry. 3: Reinaeiry. 4: Welcome To Night Vale.”
Honestly, didnt see this coming. My first impression seeing this in my recommendation was "Ahhh fvck. you gotta be kidding me." And I clicked as fast as I can.
I didn't let myself watch this until I finished TLOU II, and now that I have I can confidently say that I am absolutely in love. With this cover and the game. 1000000/10
Holy... OK wow... This is EXCELLENT! This song in general, when looking at it through a storytelling and the game's perspective, just SCREAMS Ellie... I could go on for hours about why this song fits so well, but to keep things concise and brief, I'll just say this. This song, when Ellie is singing it, is basically about her. The second verse, where it's talking about a person who calls themselves a savior, is Ellie referring to herself. She, being immune and all that, was potentially a savior of the human race. But, as we know if we played either game, she never got to do that. By the point in Part II, she is almost an entirely different person with an entirely different view on life. "How can you save the world from itself?" translates to "I lost my chance to do the right thing and I can never take that back." Anyway, an excellent job on the cover! This is probably the best cover of "Through The Valley" that I've seen! And the game has been out a LOOONG time, so that's saying something!
Amazing love your voice and every song you do just resonates so much thank you for covering this song I am in love with the game series it's awesome to see you doing it justice:)
as abysmal as this game was, the soundtrack was absolutely amazing, nothing can ever change that. That opening scene with Joel singing Future Days? One of my favourites in either game, one of the few times this one got Joel right and I'll never stop loving it
Soooooo good!! I hope you know how freaking good your covers are! Simply beautiful. Also despite what everyone else says I did not quite like TLOUll very much. I hated how it ended and I couldn't stop crying for hours on end. But I do agree that the soundtrack is very good. : D
I had the pleasure of meeting the guy who wrote this song, Shawn James, and he was genuinely really cool and a nice guy. Of course, me being both a massive nerd and a massive fan of his, I just stood lost for words with a stupid grin as he shook my hand. One of the most embarrassing and coolest moments of my life so far.
@@adrijapaul554 Yeah, it's really good. I liked the music video he made of himself singing in the bar with his band. Some of the shots really go well with the emotions of the song.
What an incredible cover. Somehow you managed to take Ashley's version and Shawn's and make a perfect mix of the two, meanwhile still sounding like your own. Impressive.
Tbh with you, I really don't care about TLOUII, all the hype talk turned me off from even watching gameplays of the game. It definitely didn't deserve as many awards as it got either. But I love this song, before it was re-recorded for this game, because Shawn James is an amazing singer and songwriter. So I'll enjoy this cover anyway, and I'm glad for the recognition this song is finally getting by having been in the game.
Absolutely beautiful cover! This game blew me away in ways that has never happened before in my entire gaming history. As to why it did; I'll leave y'all with my paraphrase of Pain's cycle of hatred speech from Naruto Shippuden fitted to The Last of Us 2. "Ellie and Abby seek the same thing. They were both trying to get revenge for the loss of someone they loved. Ellie and Abby are not different at all. They both act according to their own sense of justice. The justice Abby delivered to Joel and co is no different from what Ellie did to Abby and her friends. The pain of losing someone dear to them is the same. And both of them know that pain all too well. Ellie has her justice and Abby has hers. They are both ordinary women, driven to seek vengeance under the banner of justice. However, if there is justice in vengeance then that justice will only breed more vengeance. Triggering a cycle of hatred."
This is BEAUTIFUL and I LOVE YOU YOUR VOICE IS LIKE PERFECTION (I'm not kidding, your voice is the perfect voice to me, never ever EVAH have I EVER heard a prettier voice)
Ashley Johnson is my QUEEN
YASSSS
ME TOO, SHE'S ALSO A VOICE ACTRESS OF PETRA IN MINECRAFT STORY MODE AND TULIP WITH LAKE FROM INFINITY TRAIN.
Me too
We live in her world
Unrelated, but I’m curious: how do you pronounce your channel name?
I never leave comments but.... I saw this and legitimately screamed.
same
Saaame!
I feel you
Never disappointed when it comes to reinaeiry
🥺🤍

@Kolbe Arreola omg yes
He's one of the best musicians of our time in my opinion
I love his music, I fangirled so hard when I heard this song and ellie singing it in the trailer. My favorite songs of his are Shadow and Burn the witch.
Was literally binging all his song like two days ago, that’s awesome XD
Yes, I’ve recently listened to his music and he’s amazing
There are not enough versions of this song that are not remixed to hell, so thank you for this
I don't care what anyone says, TLOUII is one of the best games I've ever played and the absolutely steller soundtrack is one of the many reasons why!
Perfectly said!
Thank you! Pt 2 was such a heartbreaking, emotional journey and a fantastic, complex story that I still think about to this day. So glad to see other people who think so as well 🙏🏻
SO TRUE
Cutscenes 10/10 gameplay 7/10 story 3/10
I definitely agree. Everything but the story was absolutely fantastic!! It definitely would’ve been the best video game ever if the story was properly thought out and out together
Imagine if she sang "For the dancers and the dreamers" from HTTYD
😍😍😍😍 OMG yeeeesss
that would slap
Omgggg yeees plsss
A cover of that was my first dance with my wife for our wedding
_YES_
LYRICS
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
And I fear no evil because I'm blind to it all
And my mind and my gun they comfort me
Because I know I'll kill my enemies when they come
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell on this earth forevermore
Said, I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul
But I can't walk on the path of the right because I'm wrong
Well, I came upon a man at the top of a hill
Called himself the savior of the human race
Said he come to save the world from destruction and pain
But I said, "How can you save the world from itself?"
'Cause I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
And I fear no evil because I'm blind
Oh, and I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul
But I know when I die my soul is damned
When you still haven’t healed yet, so you need to listen to a cover song to be able to enjoy without crying.
Though, it still made me tremble.
Very nice vocals and excellent control. Nice job
OMG THIS IS GONNA BE SO PRETTY
Say you want, but in my opinion TloU2 was GRAND, and Ashley Johnson KILLED it! Absolutely wonderful cover, thank you for giving us this song!
I love this song, game, and most of all YOUR VOICE IS GORGEOUS.
Always love to see more appreciation for this game and Troy and Ashley’s work. Love it!!!
Perfection.
This is the definition of perfection.
“Perfection (Per-fec-shun):
1:The cover of Through The Valley by Reinaeiry.
2:All other works of Reinaeiry.
3: Reinaeiry.
4: Welcome To Night Vale.”
Have you thought about doing a cover of Achilles come down?
This. This right here. Yes.
YES. YES. THIS.
i would absolutely ball my eyes out 😭💓
YESSSS
I WILL STRAIGHT UP CRY IF SHE DOES THAT-
BEAUTIFUL
In this games, there's everything a human can feel. Joy, pain, tears, fear.... Masterpiece
Honestly, didnt see this coming. My first impression seeing this in my recommendation was "Ahhh fvck. you gotta be kidding me." And I clicked as fast as I can.
Same 😂
I can’t believe you covered one of my favorite songs by Shawn James! 😭✨
I didn't let myself watch this until I finished TLOU II, and now that I have I can confidently say that I am absolutely in love. With this cover and the game. 1000000/10
This is beautiful!!
this girl is just wow. so much emotion in all she sang.
I love this literally so much. This game, this song, this animation is just beautiful.
Ugh I love this song, and you sing it so beautifully and the guitar is so utterly good!!!! Awesome job!!!
Damn, the timing of this. I had just started getting BACK into TLOU and TLOU2 soundtracks!😁
I can't wait for the tv show!
@Hannah Kozachuk yessir, already started filming
This game is my favourite story ever, Shawn James is high on my list of favourite singers, and you really did the song justice!
Omg could you imagine her singing into the unknow from frozen 2 😳😮☺😍
Even better, All is Found, the lullaby from the beginning
Holy... OK wow... This is EXCELLENT! This song in general, when looking at it through a storytelling and the game's perspective, just SCREAMS Ellie... I could go on for hours about why this song fits so well, but to keep things concise and brief, I'll just say this. This song, when Ellie is singing it, is basically about her.

Anyway, an excellent job on the cover! This is probably the best cover of "Through The Valley" that I've seen! And the game has been out a LOOONG time, so that's saying something!

My ears have been blessed
Great art work!
Beautiful as always
this is the most beautiful music I've ever heard!
This song is so bloody hard to play, so credit to you! Brilliant!
Is the original song by Shawn James? It sounds quite similar to his work stylistically. Regardless, this is an amazing cover, thank you!
it is originally by him !!
@@Aeon_W I thought so, thanks!
AMAZING AS ALWAYS
I'm addicted to your voice, istg kajkajakakakka
I had the pleasure of meeting the guy who wrote this song, Shawn James, and he was genuinely really cool and a nice guy. Of course, me being both a massive nerd and a massive fan of his, I just stood lost for words with a stupid grin as he shook my hand.
One of the most embarrassing and coolest moments of my life so far.
His voice is genuinely haunting. The curse of the fold is one of my favourite songs. I got introduced to it by chance. Best thing to happen ever.
@@adrijapaul554 Yeah, it's really good. I liked the music video he made of himself singing in the bar with his band. Some of the shots really go well with the emotions of the song.
Criminally underliked. You have some stellar voice control
What an incredible cover. Somehow you managed to take Ashley's version and Shawn's and make a perfect mix of the two, meanwhile still sounding like your own. Impressive.
