    I don’t know how to properly convey to my wife and daughter that I am crying because I’ve been moved by a metal cover of a song that plays in the background of a game where two monkeys swim toward a goal post.

    @ItsLeah43 7 лет назад +103

    When I first saw this, I legitimately thought "How could you ever make a metal cover of Aquatic Ambiance?", But this is easily one of my favorite covers of yours. It has so many layers, I love the piano that was mixed in, and the slow, quiet intro leading into the rest of the song is brilliant. Keep being awesome, Rich!

  • @xXRazorbacksXx
    @xXRazorbacksXx 7 лет назад +29

    It's risky as hell to change up a classic song that's dear to so many people so much. But my god dude you do it with amazing results consistently. I think I might actually like this better than the original. You're insane my dude.
