as someone who literally has "despite everything, it's still you" tattooed on their body, this game means a lot to me. this cover may or not have made me cry. amazing job jules.
Everyone seems to focus on Megalovania, but Hopes and Dreams was always my top song from Undertale. After everything (and despite everything), finally overcoming all those challenges, experiencing all those characters, this song was so inspiring and encouraging. You could say it filled me with D E T E R M I N A T I O N to finish strong.
I'm only really familiar with the game via the music, but I totally agree. Megalovania is great, but I just think this song has everything. It communicates that it's a serious fight that couldn't be anything less than a final boss, but communicates so much "hope" at the same time. It sounds like defiance and possibility. You've likely heard it, but StringPlayerGamer also did an absolutely incredible cover of it.
Megalovania is only much more popular because it got much more mainstream coverage. For the ones actually knowing the game it´s much closer than you think.
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE TRACKS? Jesus, Jules, your dedication is off the charts. This sounds absolutely fantastic. Talk about doing a song justice.
One of the very few games to ever make me weep. I still remember when Asriel used his final laser attack and the health went from 1 to .5 to smaller decimals. Truly staying determined indeed. "You held onto your hopes...you kept holding on."
The greatest moment in my gaming life may not have come directly from Undertale, but Hopes and Dreams / SAVE the World were the soundtrack for it as it happened. 3 and a half years of buildup came down to one moment and hearing this made me relive it in my head all over again. My community might not be able to save every player that is looking for help, but when enough of us come together, it feels like we really can save the world. Thank you.
I would love some further context if I’m not prying to much. It sounds like an inspiring story whatever the context is and I can always use more of those in my life.
@@EmileeAria413 There are two videos on my channel - “It’s The End.” starts the title for both. The Maxout Game video encompasses just that one moment, but the longer video is the full stream which ran multiple hours and has timestamps for games of significance in the description. I run a Tetris 99 community dedicated to helping people get a particularly pain in the ass achievement, and having been there from the beginning we had like 4-5 people who had it to over 60 now, and are still helping others pretty much every day. The short video, I am one game away from hitting the game’s maximum level and a player on the small team is one small win away from unlocking the achievement. 3.5 years of playing come down to that ONE game.
I honestly see Hopes and Dream along with Save the World as my "fight song" of sorts. I say this cause it encapsulates how i felt when in high school, the ups and the downs. I almost didnt make it to the stage, almost didnt get to toss my graduation cap and scream into the sky in victory over my pesonal demon at the time. Save the World is how i felt during the graduation, all the hope and happiness busrting out in one big burst. So i know no one will probably read this but stay strong. And thanks jules for covering this song. Brought me to tears.
One of my favorite and most tear-jerking video game songs. Amazing to see you cover it and absolutely shred. Also love the SAVE THE WORLD bonus track 'o'
Man, I remember listening to Hopes and Dreams nearly every day for months after I beat Undertale a few years ago. It was on my mind again just yesterday, and then all of a sudden Jules covers it. Amazing work as always!!!
You've got great taste. I've been listening to it almost every day since the game came out. Hell, even when I'm not listening to it, it's playing in my head.
Thanks for covering my favorite song from this game. It really does mean a lot to see so many affected by something that means so much to me. I love this version so much, you guys rock.
This was one of a few covers you've done that's actually made me tear up a bit. Maybe it's the emotional weight it holds in my heart and soul, since UNDERTALE is my favourite game, or maybe it was the way you arranged it. Whatever it may be, you did something that no other cover of this have been able to do for me, even my own. Masterful job, Jules!
So I'm listening to this while, suitably, drinking a butterscotch tea. Toriel, your child is redeemed and the little one you rescued in the ruins is safe.
Lets be honest here Hopes and Dreams is like one of the greatest songs of all time, and this cover does it so much goddamn justice, great stuff as always Jules
This cover isn't 8 years too late. It's right on time. I just completed undertale for the first time on New years, and I listened to this cover right after, and it genuinely moved me to tears. This and your cover of the song "undertale" made me cry repeatedly after I beat Asriel❤️❤️❤️-Love from Denton, Texas.
I’ve never played Undertale before (I do hope to change that someday) but I came across this song randomly like a month ago and absolutely loved it and played it on repeat for like a week.
Oh man, how I envy you. Knowing how good the music is and not having played the game. Just know when you do play it, that it's one of those experiences in life you can never repeat again. I wish I could forget it to experience it for the first time again. I cannot recommend it enough. Hope you play it.
AGH GEEZ THIS SONG STILL MAKES ME CRY Especially such a beautiful cover, the first half was cool, the second half was AMAZING. Love what you did with it, especially near the end and ending on the Undertale theme. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go grab a tissue.
I love this track 😢. Never played undertale before but my kids introduced it to me some years back and it seems to hold emotional value to me . Thank you so much 😊
All these tracks from the list have all absolutely hit. The mixing is so fucking good! I’m personally way more fan of the ‘not so heavy’ metal where it isn’t *just* distorted guitar and these top 20 tracks have all been very much to my liking. You’ve absolutely smashed it again with this cover and I’m very much looking forward to hearing what’s next :D
Everybody loves Megalovania and as good as it is this song is the… GOAT! Don’t get mad at me it’s Sans’ fault for making me like puns I’m just a SCAPEGOAT so don’t bring anything else up BLEATING around the bush isn’t encouraged but generally I’m ALL EARS
I recently just beat undertale for the first time a few days ago and all the covers ive heard are amazing. This one hits a little harder, got tear welling up halfway through thinking about the experiance of this fight for the future of the underground. Well done and thank you
truly a glory gift to a legendary song this reminds me of when everyone was making rock versions of all the songs when they first released thank you for these memories
And here I was cleaning, not paying attention, and being like this sounds like an awesome song for the8bitdrummer to play on his stream. Then me checking the video and being super confused for half a second before it dawned on me. Well played sirs!
as someone who literally has "despite everything, it's still you" tattooed on their body, this game means a lot to me. this cover may or not have made me cry. amazing job jules.
The most powerful line in Undertale
I'm aiming for a 'But it refused' when I finally get around to my first tatt.
Cringe, ngl
@@Xotchkass I legit pity you that you still have this mindset in 2023, you must be so miserable
@@Xotchkassshush, let people express themselves without judgement. It's a raw line if you've gone through significant personal growth/change

Megalovania is just a meme I mean its a great song too but the popularity just stems from the popularity of sans and the general memeness of it.
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE TRACKS? Jesus, Jules, your dedication is off the charts. This sounds absolutely fantastic. Talk about doing a song justice.
His determination, I think you mean. 😎
Or he could just have a yellow SOUL💛🤷
The man enjoys what he does, and so do I!
all bangers

"You held onto your hopes...you kept holding on."
"With all of your DETERMINATION, it truly was possible to SAVE something else..."
Dude that tapping solo at the end there (4:38)
*chef's kiss*
My body is ready. It's always a treat when Richaad or Jules drops an Undertale cover.
Always awesome to see people still covering this song in 2023! Awesome cover as always 💜💜💜
This game truly never dies
Oh look its shayy
hi
It gives us determination!
I absolutely LOVE IT when people simply just don’t stop making covers for a song, shows you how long things can go for

Give yourself a treat and go listen to the 8-Bit-Big-Band's version of insaneintherain's cover of Hopes and Dreams.

I read it and am currently going, though the same thing you did! It's nice to know i'm not alone! 😁👍
Every time, no matter the cover, that transition drop from Hopes and Dreams to SAVE the World just floors me. This one is no different.
Am I the only one who feels like Undertale is having a comeback?! :D Love to see new Undertale covers everywhere! 🧡💜
my discord friend just completed pacifist yesterday :)
Undertale forever
@@skelebro9999 ooh nice! I'm wayy too frightened to ever try the genocide run 😂
dude i just started a genocide run (best run btw)
I NEVER LEFT BABYYYY
Who else do you know who did a recent cover?
One of my favorite and most tear-jerking video game songs. Amazing to see you cover it and absolutely shred.
Also love the SAVE THE WORLD bonus track 'o'
so nice to hear jules cover this song!
Be filled with determination. Easily one of my favorite songs from all of Undertale. Incredible cover, Jules!
Man, I remember listening to Hopes and Dreams nearly every day for months after I beat Undertale a few years ago. It was on my mind again just yesterday, and then all of a sudden Jules covers it. Amazing work as always!!!
You've got great taste. I've been listening to it almost every day since the game came out. Hell, even when I'm not listening to it, it's playing in my head.
same for me, it was my favorite Undertale music. Listened to remixes and remixes on repeat.
A Hopes and Dreams cover in 2023, and it's absolutely brilliant.
Thank you Jules 😢😢😢
Jules will be remembered as one of the greatest musicians of all time. I will never on my life doubt that.
Thanks for covering my favorite song from this game. It really does mean a lot to see so many affected by something that means so much to me. I love this version so much, you guys rock.

Hopes and dreams/save the world are by far my favorite songs from that game, amazing cover
Beautiful melodies all around, the song lives up to its name and you gave it justice. Amazing!
This game means so much to me. It jumpstarted a new direction in my life that I am forever grateful for. Incredible cover, Jules.
So I'm listening to this while, suitably, drinking a butterscotch tea. Toriel, your child is redeemed and the little one you rescued in the ruins is safe.

One of my favourite tunes from Undertale. Wonderful cover Jules, thank you for this! Much love from Germany ♥
now FamillyJules made it, i'm still waiting for Anjer to do it kekw
This and Richards are like the best versions so far

I've come back to watch 4 times and cried every single time.. This is a masterpiece.

You should play it, it's one of my favorite games
I love to see undertale music covers still coming out every so often. This was a great cover, thanks so much for playing it!
Oh fuck yeah! This cover is an instant classic that is so sick! That end solo is unreal
Oh my god I’m literally about to stream Undertale in two hours, possibly the end of it, so this just makes me motivated.
Determined, if you will.
lmao same
I haven't done the Sans fight yet
Genocide is my first route ;-;
I WAS just searching to listen for your undertale medley and got BLESSED by this!!!
AGH GEEZ THIS SONG STILL MAKES ME CRY
Especially such a beautiful cover, the first half was cool, the second half was AMAZING. Love what you did with it, especially near the end and ending on the Undertale theme. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go grab a tissue.
It's a beautiful day outside. Birds are singing, flowers are blooming. On days like today... kids like you should be ROCKING OUT.
That was the coolest and prettiest concert I've heard of this song. Fantastic job!
This cover gives me DETERMINATION. Excellent cover Jules 👏👏 also the transition to Save the World was flawless 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You're the only one who knows how to make metal covers properly, thanks for all the stuff
I see that Anamanaguchi shirt, you sly boy. Banger cover! And so is theirs!
15 years later & still my favorite cover artist.
Has it really been 15 years?
@@Mac_Omegaly 2008
Such a great song. I could listen to a million covers of it and never get tired of it. Great work as always!
FINALLY MY FRIEND! YOUR FINALLY DOING A COVER OF HOPES AND DREAMS! THANK YOU OMFG!!!
I can only imagine how much a remix of "Battle Against a True Hero" would slap so hard!
I love this track 😢. Never played undertale before but my kids introduced it to me some years back and it seems to hold emotional value to me . Thank you so much 😊
Jules does not disappoint 🤘🤘
Immediate add to my playlist. This rocks so hard, and Jesus man 123 is so impressive. Good bloody work
Ive been waiting so long just to hear that riff from save the world
never give up ur hopes n dreams
This song is so uplifting and fun! I appreciate you for bringing this up to a whole new level! Thank you!
As a Asriel Dreemurr fan as well as a hopes and dreams fan this this the best cover I seen yet on youtube
0:21 EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIC !!!!

8 years too late? An amazing cover is never late. It arrives precisely when it means to.
And holy shit is it ever *good*.
I'm glad there are people who still cover Undertale's music
4:38 That was the coolest thing I've heard in years
I've been waiting for this video for eight years. Thank you; it's as beautiful as I imagined it.
OH MY GOODNESS OH MY GOODNESS OH MY GOODNESS
- Me the moment I spotted this song has been covered by FamilyJules
Undertale is such a great game. This song is your reward for getting one ending and Megalovania is the reward for the other ending. I love it.
I feel like your recent videos have you going back to what made me fall in love with your channel in the first place. Keep it up!
Undertale is back, babyyyy!
3:03 on is just amazing
Everybody loves Megalovania and as good as it is this song is the… GOAT! Don’t get mad at me it’s Sans’ fault for making me like puns I’m just a SCAPEGOAT so don’t bring anything else up BLEATING around the bush isn’t encouraged but generally I’m ALL EARS
Oh wow, INSTANTLY hit with a wave of nostalgia. Haven't heard a cover like this made in a long time. Thanks for bringing it all back!
This is one of my favourite Undertale songs because it uses some of the best Undertale songs and makes them better.
I feel like the dork I was 8 years ago, smiling and crying at the same time, staring at my screen in amazement, filled with determination
I recently just beat undertale for the first time a few days ago and all the covers ive heard are amazing. This one hits a little harder, got tear welling up halfway through thinking about the experiance of this fight for the future of the underground. Well done and thank you
got to be one of the coolest songs in undertale, absolutely love this, you’re amazing ❤
Actual goosebumps at the transition into Save The World btw
GOOD
STUFF
truly a glory gift to a legendary song this reminds me of when everyone was making rock versions of all the songs when they first released thank you for these memories
SO MUCH DETERMINATION!! Love me some Undertale!! 🤘
Hearing the drop on this....makes me smile everytime. It's a smile I needed today.
Perfect
Man you have been killing it with your mixes lately, like the backing track and bass were on point
Love that undertale hasnt gone out of style, only game i have true nostalga from
My soul responds, I can't give up everything, this is my last breakthrough to save everyone and free them from this darkness.
Been having a rough one lately and this is just what I needed🥹🥹 thank you Mr Jules
And here I was cleaning, not paying attention, and being like this sounds like an awesome song for the8bitdrummer to play on his stream. Then me checking the video and being super confused for half a second before it dawned on me. Well played sirs!
goddamnit, this one surely pulled off some tears from my eyes hehe... thank you for it, man!
Love these Undertale covers! These are the best on youtube!
oh my god the delay sound thing you nailed it........... instantly a favourite
It's been 6 long years of waiting... now there's an official cover... bless. 🙏
your tapping has gotten so creative, sounds sick!
That's my favorite from undertale. Thanks for finally bringing it back!
YEEEEESSSS. I have been waiting for this since you did the little bit in the boss theme medley.
My personal favorite Undertale song, right next to Spider Dance. Such a badass cover, very very awesome!
One of the best Undertale covers I've ever witnessed.
The first videogame to ever make me emotional. You've done it justice, Jules.
...It feels kinda weird acknowledging that this only came out today.
Just Incredible Amazing Fantastic Cover, the Soundquality is something else
Perfect timing. I got a friend to play through Deltarune recently so I’m getting back into these games again. Amazing cover as always
Aw man. That cadence at the end got me.
THIS IS SICK!! Absolutely beautiful work. I think this is the best Hopes and Dreams cover on the internet!!
I'm so happy this soundtrack still gets the attention it does. I absolutely love this game and the cover!
*YOU ARE FILLED WITH DETERMINATION AND ROCK*
Sitting here crying because the Home motif at the end has me in my feelings.
Banger dude keep on pumping these out man love ya I listen to your music everyday before football games and practice🤘🤘
I loved this in your epic boss battle medley, thank you for releasing it solo. keep up the great work!
1:08 - i cant think of a better melody that specifically hits your style on the head, both here and in game (in game riffs have your style)
