This is a complete rerecording of the song which was my first upload back in 2018. This arguably the most popular song from the Silent Hill series and I felt I can do it better justice now, so here it is. I hope y'all like it!
Firstly, this is awesome! You breathed new life into the song while keeping its old spirit. Secondly, now we have two versions to listen to depending on our mood: a metal-ish version and a more game accurate version. Speaking of game accurate, love how you added the outro from the trailer. It was a pleasant surprise.
is it me or does this sound in a different key or like half step note, it's just after listening to the original earlier and listening to this there's this slight difference i think. but it's very good though captures that haunting in pain kind of feel.
@@gazster You are correct! I started tuning my guitar down a half step back when I first started, after learning how many of my favorite guitarists did the same: Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jerry Cantrell, Slash, Zakk Wylde and many others-I figured if they were all doing it, there must be a good reason for it. I enjoy the darker tone, with the fringe benefit of fewer snapped strings when I go on a bending spree. That's why this and all my songs are a half step down.
First of all, let me just say that this cover blew me away. From the moment I clicked on the video, I was hooked. The musician behind it has some serious talent. Their mastery of the guitar and piano is evident from the very first note. I was instantly captivated by the haunting melody and how flawlessly it was executed , good cover bro
I got chills from the transition between laura's theme and the reprise version..I have no words overall, but as always great cover Mark, you never fail to suprise us! You earned my respect! +subscriber
The energy of the 2018 cover remains unchanged, even if I really appreciate the side based on this one, I stay on there 2018. She has more rage I feel..
Love this, especially the outro! With all the Silent Hill songs you did now and before, I am super curious what your cover of "Forest" would sound like!
I've spent a lot of time dwelling on how to tackle this one. It's one of the more popular ambient SH tracks, but that's why I've wrestled with it so much: it's more of an ambient track than a song. I'd need to figure out some way to "song-ify" it while keeping its essence intact, which is my number one priority with all my SH covers.
Hey dude! Glad you're giving it some thought! I respect how you try to keep the essence intact, which is very cool. I don't mean to give input to your creativity since I love what you do. But as an idea to add to your brainstorm, do you think an ambient guitar pedal effect replicating the main melody of the song + a synth keyboard to replicate the ambient background would work out? I wonder if that might be able to replicate the emotions and slightly haunting yet 'full' feeling of that track, if not the entire song done on a keyboard. I really feel like you captured the ambient sound with the beginning melody of Tifa's Theme in the style of Silent Hill, so that's the kind of sound I am imagining for the main melody of Forest. I'm really looking forward to whatever you decide, be it Forest or something else, since it'll be good! Thanks for engaging man!
As a Big Silent Hill Fan I must say its a big improvement from your original upload. Although I really enjoyed your 2018 release I must say this one captures Akira Yamaokas spirit better. It almost sounds like it could be used in a New trailer for the upcoming remake. Good Job! Akira Yamaoka would be really proud that He inspired talented content creators like you! What I also really loved was the transition from "Theme of Laura" to "Theme of Laura Reprise". It really reminded me of your "Promise" Cover, which I personally think is your best work ever. Maybe its because I am a HUGE Sucker for Promise. Its my Favorite Videogame Soundtrack of All time and I would be REALLY happy to See a new release made by you!
Thanks for the all the kind words, danixtendo! I have occasionally wondered what Akira would think of my covers, but there are so many awesome covers of these songs by so many different folks that he surely doesn't have time to listen to them all. Since I put Promise's Reprise on the end of that one, I thought I'd do the same here. The Reprise versions of these songs are too simple structure-wise to do standalone covers, so putting them in with the primary songs is a way of squeezing in two covers for the price of one.
i'm a such fan of Silent Hill 2, and your covers are the greats of yt, please keep with Silent hill 2, Laura plays the pianov Pizza & Bowling or Wishful Thinking please!
Thanks Kaladia! I do have a Spotify artist profile, but I'm not currently using it. You have to use a third party distributor like Distrokid OR CDBaby to upload, which I found not to be worth the hassle (or money) at the time. I truly appreciate the sentiment though, and if I ever decide to start uploading to Spotify or other streaming services once again, I'll be sure to post the links here on my channel page.
@@MarkLambertMusic I remember really loving your other songs as well so I hope you keep it up! and thank you for providing background, I have no idea what is involved with getting songs on Spotify so I didn't realize you needed to work with a third party distributor, even for covers... that is disappointing
It's just unlisted; as it was my first upload, I couldn't bring myself to actually delete it. You can still listen to it here: ruclips.net/video/1OQN38dyzyY/видео.html
I feel like I need another SH3 song, and it's a good candidate. It's always tricky to make an instrumental out of vocal songs without them sounding boring, but Mary's vocal is so dynamic in that song that I think it would translate well to a guitar melody.
3:17 okay jesus I didn't need to cry today
If Akira heard this he would be proud

where did the old covers go?
This whole channel is literally quality over quantity.
@@Shakir-ii1vt Hmm covers don't have copyright restrictions. You can post them wherever you want.

Much appreciated Host-pp9uf!
this is better than theme of laura 2
Nah man, this channel deserves more love.
Man you don't get the credits deserved .. that's a whole another level right here ... well played !!
One word: Awesome.
Just found you on the comment section of the making of the silent hill music, your covers are magnificent
Thanks, Zekkayashi! And yes, that's a great video for fans of Silent Hill music, and Akira Yamaoka in particular.
Well, that transition into the reprise version just gave me 100% of the feels.
Beautiful

I'm glad you're still enjoying the original cover! I was into more aggressive music back then and I guess it showed.
Wow...just amazing. The feels, all I need to say eh? Now to listen to it one more time.
I've been waiting for this!! Thank you so much for this amazing cover, Mark!
YES! One of my favorites. Thank you for doing this cover. You did an outstanding rendition!
The Soul of Silent Hill 2🖤❤💯
Simply stunning!
Love this, especially the outro!

this is so amazing. when I listen to this, i get a completely new feeling compared to the original. very impressive
Absolutely beautiful, can’t wait to see the silent hill 2 trailer at tokyo game show.

this is definitely one of the best covers. i'd love to support you on spotify if you are able to put it up for streaming!

I love this new version of it! Although I must ask is it possible to reupload the old version? I really like how that one went harder in the intro!

Most impressive
Sounds better than the leaked SH2R version AF
bangin
I want Love (Studio Version) cover eventually?
I feel like I need another SH3 song, and it's a good candidate. It's always tricky to make an instrumental out of vocal songs without them sounding boring, but Mary's vocal is so dynamic in that song that I think it would translate well to a guitar melody.
This is a kick-ass cover, dude. Bet it sounds even better after some weed tbh
The end of the song is as desolate as it is melancholic.
masta pasta piece
