I just wanted to come in here and say a big thanks to everyone for the positive comments. This song still means a lot to me, and I'm glad it means something to you all, too. Thanks for everything. :-)
It is HORRIFYING to me that this song is now old enough that people have grown up with it, but it also makes me tremendously happy. Thank you for the comment!
Came back around to Cave Story and stumbled across this today. Really channeling Satriani here. Excellent work VikingGuitar! Truly has stood the test of time all these years later.
@@jacehunter1300 thank you, Jace! Satriani has always been a main influence of mine, and it's really awesome that you heard that in there! Thank you for the comment; made my day. 🙂
No mate, a mix of nostalgia, hope and sorrow just enveloped me and after dealing with some stuff this past couple days, this pulled me back out of the hole I had dug for myself. Thank you
All of the guitars and bass are actually performed and recorded by me. The drums and synth stuff is sequenced through REAPER. I'm afraid that I can't really tab it out. I get tab requests a LOT and it takes too much time away from me recording new stuff. However, you can find a MIDI file for the song and open it in REAPER to look at the notation. That should help you out a bit. Sorry!
Wow. The two best things in the world - Cave Story and Metal - put together. And it's freaking awesome. Keep it up! Also.... I may have accidentally disliked this video. Feel free to come and execute me for my sins whenever VikingGuitar. :(
Was brought here from EpicNameBro's vid. This song is just freakin' beautiful. I bought your album and have just been listening to it on loop for the past couple of hours in the background.
Thanks man! That was definitely one of my favorite games when I was younger. I might redo it someday. In the meantime, Powerglove did an awesome version called "Fight On." You can find it on youtube. Thanks for listening!
OMFG! After hearing this song so many times, I finally see that this video has some credits in the ending and I can see there are many masterpieces in there, including the cult game One Must Fall 2097!!
If you're talking about the plucking orchestra sound, it's a soundfont. I don't remember which one. However, you can get a full orchestra VSTi called Garritan for about $100 that's not half bad!
Why does this need to be so damn good, like, it's TOO good, I can't stop listening to this.. you've done a wonderful job! even though I was 3 years late and I haven't listened to this for about 4 years I can't believe how well it stands up, this is truly a masterpiece
It really makes my day to hear this! I still love this song, too, and it makes me feel great to know that it connects with other people as well. Thank you for the continued listening!
ENB, props to him for showing me this channel and even MORE props to you Vikingguitar for making this awesome remix man AMAZING work, keep on it you got yourself another fan.
This is the absolute most amazing remix I have ever heard. It is just utterly mind blowing. The quieter sections, with the guitar and drum pattern is a lot like one of my most loved Aussie bands, Cog.
I love all of your music (and your "Let's Play" videos... holy nostalgia!), but I especially love Cave Story, it's soundtrack, and your arrangement and performance of this piece. So beautiful and emotional... I want to heave piles of my money at you and tell all my friends. The album this is from has been playing non-stop for the past two days in the background while I work.... and I work in a cancer research lab, so essentially, you're helping cancer research by having made this music. Thanks dude.
Well that's amazing! The song means a lot to me, and I'm glad that it does to you too. Thank you for the important work you're doing, and no need to throw money at me. I'm just happy that people are enjoying it. Also, I'm not sure if you have heard it yet, but I just released a re-record of this song with my full band. It's on my youtube under the playlist for "Viking Guitar Live: Legion". Take care, and thanks for listening!
I routinely turn this on at work and put it on loop for most of the day; it has this amazing calming effect on me. Came here from ENB but now a fan of yours.
Excuse me while I give up on life now. Haha. Great, amazing covers here. You have some serious talent put to work here good sir, and hope you always strive to make such incredible sounds as these.
Man, this is awesome! Freaking AWESOME! Cave Story, Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania!!!!! I was like "Oh my globe, this is totally my new ring-tone!" There are a lot of Cave Story remixes and metal covers as well here on RUclips, but yours are just perfect! I love the way you feel the melody and interpret it! Great job! You just need to make more Cave Story covers, say for Running Hell tune! And just in case you're looking for more ideas for metal covers, I'd be very happy to hear what you can do with Little Nemo: the Dream Master! Themes from the last stages really deserve to be metallized)
Amazing cover after i see this cover on epicnamebro video I can not stop listening to repeatedly. I do not have words to say how spectacular this music was in his hands. a question could do the same with running hell? would be epic.
:-D Thanks man! If you get a chance to make it to MAGFest this year (early January in National Harbor, Maryland) I'll probably be playing this one live with Stemage, Mega Beardo, and some other fine gentlemen!
Would've bought this album for this song alone.. great job man keep up on the remixes, always look forward to hearing yours anytime I dl an album and I see you were involved with it!
Awesome! The artwork is by Nate Horsfall with Lightning Arts. If you search for "lightningarts" on google, you can find his stuff and buy a poster if ya like!
i really am into moonsong, so for me 3:50 is where the EPICNESS of this song begins! SHIVERS ALL OVER! thank you for that! And yes, your shit right here is totally underrated!!!
dude i musk thank you for the amazing tunes this is just to awsome not to listen to ima be send u to alot of my friends with out a DOUTE!! in my minde they will grovel at ur work!
@vikingguitar Hey man do you play this physically or do you use software such as FL? Also if you play this physically could you Please tab it out? ive been looking for tabs for ages and have had no luck ):
Now that I think about it, I do have a video where I was playing some of it on camera. It might help you with the chord shapes/positions. ruclips.net/video/mJdAJW5RQn8/видео.html
Not an idiot at all! I don't have one to share, but you can probably Google "cave story midi" and find a bunch of stuff by a guy named Sebastian Wolff.
I just wanted to come in here and say a big thanks to everyone for the positive comments. This song still means a lot to me, and I'm glad it means something to you all, too. Thanks for everything. :-)
I will never stop listening to this amazing mix. I have since I was a small child, and I will when I'm a wrinkly old man
It is HORRIFYING to me that this song is now old enough that people have grown up with it, but it also makes me tremendously happy. Thank you for the comment!
It's really been 10 years, huh? Time really does fly. This piece is and always will be amazing.
It blows my mind, too. Thanks for the comment, and I’m glad the song still brings you good feelings. :-)

Its the 20th Anniversary of Cave Story and this is still my favourite Cave Story remix by far.
That makes me really happy! Jeez, I can't believe Cave Story is TWENTY YEARS OLD now.
So many years later, still great.
I'm really glad you're still enjoying it! Thanks for the comment. 🙂
Cave Story is a Legendary game in my eyes.
You're not alone.
+ShadowSpiral Once you play it, it's in your memory forever...
Yeah
Thank you!
Indeed
I never have cried at a piece of music, you just changed that
Oh no. It wasn't that bad, was it? ;-)
No mate, a mix of nostalgia, hope and sorrow just enveloped me and after dealing with some stuff this past couple days, this pulled me back out of the hole I had dug for myself. Thank you
I'm glad it helped, man. This one still means a lot to me, too. Hope things are looking up!
yeah, yeah I think they are
tremenda obra maestra
This needs to be heard by more people. Too good to be this unrecognized.
No, sir- thank you for the amazing music!
Thanks, dude! This was a lot of fun to record.

Thank you for all the awesome comments!
Goosebumps.
3:48 "I can be your friend..."
AWESOME!! JUST AWESOME!!
KEEP THE WORLD METAL!
The top link in the video description should take you there, my friend! Glad you like it!
Beautifully done
Thank you very much!
Was brought here from EpicNameBro's vid. This song is just freakin' beautiful. I bought your album and have just been listening to it on loop for the past couple of hours in the background.
I can't stop listening to this, nor the Cave Story "intro" and "loop" of this... It just makes me want to keep playing Cave Story.
I still hope that there could be a "Cave Story 2", maybe the Curly side of the story. Or maybe Jenka in her youth, there is so much to know.
I love these remixes. this one gives me a very Risk of Rain vibe for some reason though.
Thanks man! That was definitely one of my favorite games when I was younger. I might redo it someday. In the meantime, Powerglove did an awesome version called "Fight On." You can find it on youtube. Thanks for listening!
Man, this song rocks so hard. One of the best covers of Cave Story songs.
Moonsong was by far the best! I loved the entire song its self but the moonsong part is just amazing. You sir, are a guitar legend!
ENB i'm forever thankful for introducing me to this very tasteful artist, nostalgia drips from those strings thick-like.
Wow... my mind is blown. Way to make that guitar sing! Absolutely beautiful.
@TF549 Thanks, man! I'm happy knowing that pretty much everyone that HAS seen it has liked it!
Just bought this from your website. I've gotta say... This is pure class.
OMFG! After hearing this song so many times, I finally see that this video has some credits in the ending and I can see there are many masterpieces in there, including the cult game One Must Fall 2097!!
This is still amazing. ♥
Thank you, Mr. President! This is still my favorite also. :-)
Just
Thank you.
Dude, thanks! Yeah, that would be awesome! Just link to my bandcamp, please. Link is in this video description.
If you're talking about the plucking orchestra sound, it's a soundfont. I don't remember which one. However, you can get a full orchestra VSTi called Garritan for about $100 that's not half bad!

This is the absolute most amazing remix I have ever heard. It is just utterly mind blowing. The quieter sections, with the guitar and drum pattern is a lot like one of my most loved Aussie bands, Cog.
You need to do an extended version of moonsong that chorus is far too epic to listen to once
Good to hear! There's definitely more music on the way! A lot of it is for SECRET PROJECTS with other musicians and I can't talk about it... YET.
it is very calming and nice!
The drums are a software program, but I set up all the drum patterns and mixed them and shtuff.
Dude O_O, this is like the best thing I've heard in along time.
MY hats off to you sir

VikingGuitar I will definitely check that out. Thank you!
Nicole Baker EpicNameBro send me here aswell. I just love the melo intro and then the cresendo in the middle of this track. Awesome job VikingGuitar
+Nicole Baker tfw you're listening to video game osts at work and actually read the comments
I routinely turn this on at work and put it on loop for most of the day; it has this amazing calming effect on me. Came here from ENB but now a fan of yours.
Love the album artwork, love the remix even more.
Yes.
Beautiful.
Me and me father agree 100%
My two favorite Cave Story songs mixed into one expertly on a guitar. This is amazing. :3
man i wished i could like your vids more than once! you dont know what massive chills your music gives me!!!!
Excuse me while I give up on life now. Haha.
Great, amazing covers here. You have some serious talent put to work here good sir, and hope you always strive to make such incredible sounds as these.

Thanks dude! Same effect over here. It's incredibly peaceful/nostalgic/emotional. I'm glad you like it!
You deserve so many more views and subscribers, this is pure magic my friend, amazing job.
Alright will do! Thanks man and seriously love this remix! I heard it in ENB's vid and was like this is epic!
Well done Vikingguitar ! very nice stuff :)
A big thanks to Epic name bro who made me discover this ! : )
AGREED. EpicNameBro is the best thing to happen to my channel in recent history. Thanks, EpicNameBro!
This inspired me I must do something with this inspiration.
Amazing cover after i see this cover on epicnamebro video I can not stop listening to repeatedly.
I do not have words to say how spectacular this music was in his hands.
a question could do the same with running hell?
would be epic.
I should add that you can use the same MIDI file with TuxGuitar or GuitarPro to generate tabs directly.
That's great to hear, man! I aim to please!
I cried
If only Pixel made this an option in the menu to have some of your remixes in the +remake but you just cant have everything btw Amazing Remakes
I just have to say that you are awesome.
:-D Thanks man! If you get a chance to make it to MAGFest this year (early January in National Harbor, Maryland) I'll probably be playing this one live with Stemage, Mega Beardo, and some other fine gentlemen!
Would've bought this album for this song alone.. great job man keep up on the remixes, always look forward to hearing yours anytime I dl an album and I see you were involved with it!
Thanks, dude. This is one of my personal favorites!
Bro you have to do Killer Instinct. You would do it serious justice!
HEY! That's MY catch phrase! ;-)
Awesome that you're getting back into guitar. Let me know if you have any questions!
This is soooooo awesome!!!!
I might be being an idiot but where can one acquire a MIDI file for this?
Love this
this is just soo soo cool
Awesome! The artwork is by Nate Horsfall with Lightning Arts. If you search for "lightningarts" on google, you can find his stuff and buy a poster if ya like!
i really am into moonsong, so for me 3:50 is where the EPICNESS of this song begins!
SHIVERS ALL OVER! thank you for that! And yes, your shit right here is totally underrated!!!

Still Love This Song
@vikingguitar Hey man do you play this physically or do you use software such as FL? Also if you play this physically could you Please tab it out? ive been looking for tabs for ages and have had no luck ):
at the beginning I was like.. is this really cave story?...then boom 1:02 hits and I got chills
Yo this is sick though.
Thank you!
Could I possibly use this in a video of mine? I'll be sure to link you in my desc.
Do you sell shirts with your awesome band picyure thing on it. It's pretty badass
+Kevin Jones I don't have any, but the artist might! www.lightningarts.com
I cannot believe this exists. My favorite game soundtrack just got 1000x better.
Could I maybe have the tabs or sheet music of this song, I really want to play it!
Sorry, I don't have tabs written up. Glad you like the song, though! Thanks for watching.
No problem! I'll still try to figure it out myself. Thanks for replying!
Now that I think about it, I do have a video where I was playing some of it on camera. It might help you with the chord shapes/positions. ruclips.net/video/mJdAJW5RQn8/видео.html
Thanks again, this will help a lot!
Not an idiot at all! I don't have one to share, but you can probably Google "cave story midi" and find a bunch of stuff by a guy named Sebastian Wolff.
Wow! Bandcamp huh? Do you by any chance know "Flibster" Ben Hayward? ;)
Damn is it relaxing :]
you guys are freaking AWSOME \m/ \m/!!!!!!!!
Chills from 4:00 on.
Its not really dickish as you have reason for it, I really like your music by the way, subscribed :).
I hope studio pixel will make a new game.
I actually restarted my game just so I could ignore the booster & get the tow rope.
I mean whaaaaaat's the deeeeeal?
Is it just me, or does this remind of death note? Either way, I love it! :D
100% agreed so far :P
