It's such a beautifully blended mood setting instrumentation with the brooding guitar and light tinkling piano. You listen to it and you can just feel the gloomy cloud cover looming overhead like an incalculable weight ready to fall upon you.
rik schaffer's original track feels like being high, and outstar's feels like knowing that hard comedown is about to hit so you savour these last few moments (for some reason it also makes me think of hippie nosferatu who was embraced back in '60 and now sits in his haven listening to old vinyls)
Quick FAQ for the video! 1. Do you have tabs/tuning/notation? I haven't found any right tabs online, so I made my own - you can find everything in the description of this video. 2. How did you record it? More info in the description, but I recorded my Telecaster through iPad and did the rest digitally via GarageBand/Logic. 3. What about Bloodlines 2? It's in development. I don't work on it. I like the progress on it and I'm cheering for it. Will talk about it as soon as we have any news (I know, the wait is killing me too) 4. What is the meaning of life? Turtles.
I can't stop listening to this, help! By the way, thanks for the bit of info on Bloodlines 2. There's so much behind the scenes we don't know and after recent events, even more so.
@MR.C&A Video911Game Same. The loss of Cara and Brian is illogical and worrying me to no end. I hope everything works out in the end, I love this franchise so much.
Love the reverb you give to it, I was so immersed! I half expected Isaac's buddy to come into my bedroom like "Hey why haven't you visited Isaac yet?" "I got new armor from the red spot, what do you want from me?" Lol. Great cover!
My favourite music from VTMB, I use it for strolls in the city on rainy days and just whenever I feel the mood for. I am in love with Hollywood OST, it is fucking gorgeous. Good rendition.
Woah, cover sounds even more awesome. Thank you for uploading it. Such a game, even just one soundtrack can bring out lots of memories that you had in the game :)
Sounds sick! I thought nothing could make me more melancholic about vtmb and yet.. there it is. Can't help but wonder if the soundtrack to BL2 will make me feel the same way in 10 years.. Girl, you're a person of so many talents, you should be very proud
*Oh dear.* *Looks like we'll never get to see Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 now, following today's news here putting it in hiatus. A terrible shame at that too, considering Outstar dodged a close bullet with the travesty that befell the previous studio she worked at, the once-iconic and 'Defender of the Consumers' CD Projekt Red! :'(*
Outstar, Thank you to Ryk, but mostly you for being a shining beacond of light for the "nerds" like me patiently awaiting for Rik' to drop music, even though he's been following his own light since day 1. Words cannot express gratitude, and I know I have no money for his signed vinyl, Hold on to all your treasures folks. We will never forget you, and I got a GOG copy to purchases, Million thanks. -MJ
Oh boy you've opened pandora's box here... I'm sure some of us would love to hear you cover Velvet/Vesuvius' theme too :) (I know it's called World Spirit Map on spotify but that's a lame name for such a sad sexy piece imo)
love this music. love Hollywood as it had some of my fave quests and NPCs (no not the Sewers though it had atmosphere) VTMB was my obsession as a teen. But I think the most Nostalgia still comes from Santa Monika theme. Just so much time spend there. ^^
I really love what you've done here. I love the discordant notes and the different tones you overlaid. I especially like the piano. One small note of constructive criticism? There's a little too much echo on the guitar, which distracts from the rest of the piece. Bringing that back a touch would let someone hear the guitar and those other notes a bit better. But maybe that's just me. Overall this is my favorite song from Bloodlines and I really love how you've breathed new, uh, unlife into it with this really well done cover of your own.
I quite like your cover, it seems a bit more playful, fun and more Hollywood i guess. It still has that haunting feel to it that the original really focused on i think.
At a few places it sounds like the sound is clippiing a bit. Have you set the gain too high, or is there some overdrive going on? Otherwise, your playing is great, it's a cool cover! I hope to be doing a remix or cover of another track in the future, maybe around the time the next game comes out
@@Outstarwalker that's nice to hear, thank you for the inside :) Haven't seen much info/gameplay/trailers since the delay, so was getting kinda worried.. Anyways, greetings from Ukraine! ))
Beautiful music you did a great job. Never played the original vtmb but I seen gameplay and it looked so good and the soundtrack was really good too. Hope vtmb 2 has a better soundtrack and has darling violetta a smaller god in it so people could have the memories and nostalgia of the first game.
Wow this sounds amazing! Have you played this on the guitar you showed recently on twitter? If I wasn't playing Cyberpunk 2077 right now, I'd reinstall VTMB on the new PC just to play again. 2021 should be a better year for Bloodlines 2 to launch. I just wish a better performance for the game on last gen consoles than Cyberpunk 2077 has right now. Next-gen and PC with ssd should be fine for most of us. :D
Hey Outstar, beautiful rendition! I don't wanna be annoying, but do you mind if I use it for as a background track for a video I'm working on? I just love how ambient this version is.
I finished that video up, but I'd still be interested in using this for a different video. I'll contact you more directly to see if you're comfortable sharing it!
@@Outstarwalker Aww man, I was hoping you could upload your own limited gameplay and commentary. You allowed to say something at least? Like what do you think of the game so far?
@@pepethefrog6809 I really like it from the standpoint of BL1 fan. It's still in development though, so gotta wait for the final version to make a final opinion :)
@@Outstarwalker Yeah, that's fair. Cool though, if you like it so far but considering BL1 isn't hard to beat in terms of gameplay and mechanics.. The real challenge of following the first game is that it became a cult classic, because of the dialogue and memorable characters and of course, because of the modding community behind it that made it better for everyone.
@@pepethefrog6809 Yup, that's why no matter how great the characters and dialogue are, a lot of polish time is needed to make sure it doesn't disappoint. Cyberpunk had way more time and budget, yet people aren't happy with the polish on it. So I'm always for giving devs more time, even if it means we'll have to wait.

There's always been something about this melody that's stuck with me. It's truly haunting. Thank you for this gorgeous rendition.
It's such a beautifully blended mood setting instrumentation with the brooding guitar and light tinkling piano. You listen to it and you can just feel the gloomy cloud cover looming overhead like an incalculable weight ready to fall upon you.
Same. Shits haunting. It really does stay with you. It’s the background music of the collapse and societal decay, with just enough lingering hope.
"Tell me child, is my apperance that frightening, or is it my knowledge of you that is so unnerving...?"
AaH! THe swOrD Of cAIne!
Are you playing the Clan Quest Mod with the added Sabbat ending?
@@chanpost4 I did! Twice! Thinking of doing a third :3

I'd say terrapins but I respect you opinion
@MR.C&A Video911Game Same. The loss of Cara and Brian is illogical and worrying me to no end. I hope everything works out in the end, I love this franchise so much.
Oooh, my favorite theme from VtM - Bloodlines! You added perfect unique touches to this. It's sounds "fresh". Amazing!!
It's my favorite theme too
Wonderful version Outstar. You've captured the melancholy with you're own spirit.
Love the reverb you give to it, I was so immersed! I half expected Isaac's buddy to come into my bedroom like "Hey why haven't you visited Isaac yet?" "I got new armor from the red spot, what do you want from me?" Lol. Great cover!

"The moon is a mysterious mistress... who walks the night with demons of dread."
Those nights when I stayed up late (even though I had to rise early), playing Bloodlines... Thanks for the reminder :)
The reverb gives it Akira Yamaoka/Silent Hill vibes, and I’m 100% here for it.
That's one of my favorite soundtracks ever! I wanted to make Theme of Laura next
@@Outstarwalker Ooooh. I'd to terrible things in exchange for a nice, bass-heavy cover of Theme of Laura.
This gives me unlife! I love it, Outstar! Keep being awesome! 💜
i miss your uploads
I wanna a whole album like that. Rick Schaffer is a genius and Outstar is really talented
Woah, cover sounds even more awesome. Thank you for uploading it. Such a game, even just one soundtrack can bring out lots of memories that you had in the game :)
Sounds sick! I thought nothing could make me more melancholic about vtmb and yet.. there it is. Can't help but wonder if the soundtrack to BL2 will make me feel the same way in 10 years..
Girl, you're a person of so many talents, you should be very proud
Just when I thought this moody-ass theme couldn't get any moodier... Amazing.
I feel so nostalgic right now!
@@crouchjump5787 I will judge the sequel when it will be released. Until then I won't jump to any conclusions.
This is spine chilling. Kudos to Outstar for the remix. It's a fresh take.
Bloodlines has such an amazing soundtrack. i sincerely hope that Bloodlines 2 has good atmospheric music too.
Rik is doing the music for BL2 as well so I'm sure it will be just as good, just different since it's present day :)
The chills and nostalgia this gives me are indescribable. Gives an old favorite a new face for sure. Good job!
I love it,Its nostalgic.We've all come a long way.
I love to walk in the old part of my city to Hollywood theme. Fills me with such a sweet melancholy. Always.
i cannot believe that thanks to you i finally found a tab for the hollywood theme, you're doing the lord's work!!
"NIght eating you?"
The moon is a mysterious mistress...
...who walks the night with demons of dread.
Other way around, see you
Love this! Please do more! This all brings me back.
omg wanna install again...let's wait for the Christmas holidays 2021 :D
great cover!
*Oh dear.*

Oh, this is great Outstar! It's a fresh, modern take on one of the best pieces of music from VTMB
you know, i think i might actually prefer this to the original version. so soothing and hypnotic. i've been listening to it all week.
Awesome cover, I didn't know you were a musician!
Very nice! Loved the piano in the back. Really felt like someone spiraling out of control in a kind of beautiful way
I'm so happy rn. Thank you for this.
This sounds lovely, great job!! 😍😍
This cover is so cool. I hope Bloodlines 2 will have music as good as this. Because music and atmosphere is what made this game my all time favourite.
For some reason, the Hollywood theme always reminded me of the beginning of Spiders by SOAD.
I learned to play this on guitar
Outstar,

so chill, I love it !
The original is very good, but this is absolutely heartwarming these long nights. ^^
This Was Great! I'd Love To See What You Could Do For Santa Monica!
This sounds SO good! The nostalgia 😍
well, i will put this on repeat and go on
nice job!!!!
Love it
This is awesome Outstar!
Oh boy you've opened pandora's box here... I'm sure some of us would love to hear you cover Velvet/Vesuvius' theme too :) (I know it's called World Spirit Map on spotify but that's a lame name for such a sad sexy piece imo)
Thank you for this, you should do the 2nd Hollywood theme as the guitar and feel of the song are also very cool.
Is there no end to your list of talents? Lovely cover of a haunting theme.
I just started the first mission in Holywood 🔥🔥 met the baron and used the word "kafka" 😂♥️
love this music. love Hollywood as it had some of my fave quests and NPCs (no not the Sewers though it had atmosphere)
VTMB was my obsession as a teen. But I think the most Nostalgia still comes from Santa Monika theme. Just so much time spend there. ^^
Any news about Bloodlines 2? It's weird, the game was almost ready and playable and.. nothing
You did the best thing getting out of that mess of a company that made cyberpscam 2077
Nice Telecaster vibe going on! like!
Ah I see the Nashville Tele has been put to good use
Duuuuuuude! Seriously?!
(News was just announced)
Wow, i love this vibe!

Isaac wants to see you!
awesome, you made my day...
amazing
I quite like your cover, it seems a bit more playful, fun and more Hollywood i guess. It still has that haunting feel to it that the original really focused on i think.
Just heard the news about Bloodlines 2. It breaks my heart :(
Loved it!
Hello miss Outstar do you have any info what happened at paradox?
Makes me want vtmb2 more 😫 I've done 3 playthroughs of this game im on another one now lol
thats pretty cool
At a few places it sounds like the sound is clippiing a bit. Have you set the gain too high, or is there some overdrive going on? Otherwise, your playing is great, it's a cool cover! I hope to be doing a remix or cover of another track in the future, maybe around the time the next game comes out
Outstar, do you still think that vampires 2 will be a decent game after they fired the lead writer?
I'm almost 150 hours in checking the game in development, and I've seen nothing but improvement in the past few months. I really believe so.
@@Outstarwalker that's nice to hear, thank you for the inside :) Haven't seen much info/gameplay/trailers since the delay, so was getting kinda worried..
Anyways, greetings from Ukraine! ))
Did you use a program or is this all instruments? Super awesome! Great job, Outstar!
I recorded my guitar through iRig, used digital piano and programmed drums digitally!
@@Outstarwalker That’s basically what I do minus the guitar 😂 I need to get a new one bad. Amazing job! More covers! 👏🏼
Fkn awesome!
More! More!
Me encanta ese tema c:
Quite good
I genuinely thought you were just being a nerd and uploading the original to hype for bloodlines 2 for a minute. Bit good o.o
Beautiful music you did a great job. Never played the original vtmb but I seen gameplay and it looked so good and the soundtrack was really good too. Hope vtmb 2 has a better soundtrack and has darling violetta a smaller god in it so people could have the memories and nostalgia of the first game.
Your now my waifu. We are both obsessed with world of darkness and vtm
get in line buddy, we saw her first ;)
Lol
Wow this sounds amazing! Have you played this on the guitar you showed recently on twitter?

any updates on the release of number2?
IS Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 coming out still? There's been no news after Brian got fired...
Hell yeah
Hey Outstar, beautiful rendition! I don't wanna be annoying, but do you mind if I use it for as a background track for a video I'm working on? I just love how ambient this version is.
I finished that video up, but I'd still be interested in using this for a different video. I'll contact you more directly to see if you're comfortable sharing it!
Niiiiiiiiiice!
I actually like this better than the original! Awesomely done!
Uhm... Is there an mp3 version?
yes!
Outstar the snake of twitter
Reminds me of cyber punk 2077 but without the glinches
vampire the masquerade v5 has released a free companion and the tzimisce are back i think they deserve a clan explained video please
beautiful cover. i'm sure rik would approve! do you have any of your other music online?
Noice.
👌🎶🎶🎶
Malky vibes increasing!
And back here again, and again. ❤
♥
Can we download the music ?
What happened to the Rik Schaffer interview on your channel from couple years ago?
So, whats your take on that CP2077 Disaster and the many Lies told by CDPR?
Hello LA you are way past your bedtime
Did they ever let you do a 25 minute gameplay of Bloodlines 2? I thought you're gonna get to play it for a bit.

1160 reinstalls
Do you still do online role plays for vtm?
@outstar are you playing or did you remix it with software?
anyway
Playing everything there, I haven't used anything from the original recording!
