Played this as a gentle song for my son to sleep to. He’s four and tells me “this song makes me sad, please turn it off.” I guess the feeling is universal.
I understand how he feels lol. It sort of strikes a deep inner sadness and longing in me too
I might misremember shit but didn't devola said that even tho no one remembers the ancient human language she still sings it coz' it sounds hopeful ?
❤
Music is the language of the universe.
Didn't know weebs could procreate
Nier music always hit hards, whether it be bittersweet, energetic, or just depressing
I don't like the gameplay, but I love the story and music of nier. Luckily there are enough people out there with story summaries for peeps like me
@@astrisperspecto4130 why don't you like the gameplay?
I've only played Nier Automata, and that combat was fun as hell, and I assume they use the same kinda combat in Nier Replicant
Not trying to be rude, just wondering
@@hairlessgrizzly559 I read a review of Replicant, said if you like Automata's gameplay doesn't mean you'll like Replicant's. It was a bit clunky or smth idk. I also like Automata but hesitant to buy Replicant
@@haidarief you could find a playthrough online and watch a little bit of it
I don't know if you could get a trial or demo to try it out though
I don't know if Platinum Games made Replicant, but they make great action games with fun combat, like Automata and MGR
@@haidarief imo the best way to play it is replicant first (A-D), then automata (A-E), which is an amazing freshness for gameplay, then return to replicant for route E, where you’re already invested in the story. There’s also ending Y of automata which could be done before or after E of replicant. If you love the story and writing of automata, I say go for it, the gameplay isn’t as crisp but the story is just as phenomenal imo.
Devola and Popola's souls drift into the FFXIV universe where they have a chance at happiness.
Yoko Taro: Oh, no, you don't!
Now i want to know T_T
No one in this series is allowed to be happy
What is their story in 14?
This song is like a dream that you don't want to end yet.
Part 1 of the game lol
Exactly!
More like a dream you'll forget once you wake up 😢
Literally sitting in the tavern for 20 minutes listening to them sing
Man I've grown nonesensically attached to this song since I first heard it years ago. I love hearing them sing together with the village instrumental instead of the fancy tavern one
I remember watching a let's play over 10 years ago of this game, and wanting to play but no PS3 at the time. Thankfully the remaster made it a really good game as well as having a good story.
I heard this song on spotify, and now I have to play the game.
@@scaramouche7759Does spotify auto recommend show new music based on your personal favorites lists? I find most media from RUclips so there's probably countless I am missing out on. Ignorant is not bliss thinking about how there are countless music games anime media entertainment we dont know about since we're limited based on what we can find and get recommended to us. I'm probably missing out on a lot of music and all other media not using spotify but I dont see myself using it for now.

It feels like a miracle and sad at the same time knowing how something as beautiful as nier exists and how there are potentially many other things in life everyone is missing out on because we simply don't know about it. I guess That's how life is so I think all we can do is to keep searching and have the benefit of recommendations show us new things.
its the same for me except i have it with all nier and nier automata soundtracks
I remember playing replicant after automata and as soon as i saw Devola playing the guitar sitting on the fountain i knew the game was going to completely annihilate my feelings
I just finished replicant. I am glad I played it first just so that i could be so drawn in by Devola's music as my first introduction to her. I stopped almost every time to hear her sing for awhile
Gonna be "That Guy" and say she was playing a lute.
No matter how many times this song has been posted, I click. It's an involuntary action. I hear. I melt. I have never been whole, but this music makes me think I can be, just for a moment.
Me too. This soundtrack is gorgeous
Remember to save this song if you can. It comes and goes so often...
SAME I usually stick to original stuff but this I love every version I see how can a piece of music be so beautiful.
I heard, I smelt. )It way better
Definitely a pure definition of serene moment and celestial blessing.
I can never get tired of hearing the twins sing, Nier's OST is a blessing, just wish RUclips would stop taking it down.
NieR OST is out of this world
@@ihatehumans487true I just wish it was longer
bern
@@captain_cloudd best witch in the world
Man, finding all those lizard and mouse tales was worth it. Just sat there and listened to them singing together in the tavern for two hours and a half. So comforting.
The true power of this song is that I first heard it 2 years ago but it still has the same nostalgic feel as hearing something like zelda's lullaby. It's just comfy as hell and it feels like home.
i shed a real tear, always right eye
Left eye for me, didn't even notice till it got to my cheek.
Everytime I go to bed I play this song just once, it’s just so peaceful
Me too
I know many didn't play nier gestalt/replicant before automata, but when you hear this song for the first time on automata, it's sad, and you don't know why, and when you do it on gestalt/replicant it's welcoming, hopeful, until you finish the I play and you know, actually it always was....
Replicant is gestalt remake? Or its a different game? I finished automata and im about to play replicant.
@@szaka9395 There are 2 versions of the first Nier, Gestalt (for Xbox 360) and replicant (for PS3), the difference between the two lies in the main character, while in replicant the character is the older brother, in gestalt it is the father
Habe bis jetz kein NieR Game gespielt und trotzdem liebe ich die Songs von replicant/automata. Habe mich über verschiedene RUclipsr mit der Story und allgemein mit dem 'Sinn' hinter der ganzen Story beschäftigt und kann sagen das auch wenn ich selber keine Games mehr Spiele das einer meiner Lieblings Games ist. Als jemand der diese Games nie selbst gespielt hat fällt es mir dennoch schwer meine Emotionen zurück zuhalten einfach weil das Game gefühlt mit jeder Konversation mehr ausdrückt als so mache Games overall.
might get taken down but thanks, glory to mankind
In retrospective, my favorite song from Drakengard/Nier is Song Of The Ancients. Second and third are Black Song White Scales and A Beautiful Song. Growing Wings and Shadowlord are also on my favorite. But if I had to pick my absolute favorite, it should be Song of The Ancients, because tells a story that should not be forgotten but we cannot recognize this ancient or future language anymore.
Yes. Because there is no real translate, it can be literally anything. This is why I love artists that write songs to films/anime/games "without words". Because you hear and imagine, let in loose and mean whatever your heart desire or whatever autor want you to hear without words, paint just another story before you. For you. And you do it with them, because "words" of those songs will mean something else for everyone. This is... Scary. And yet so beautiful.
@@joannaostrowska548That’s always been the root of Yoko Taro’s creative genius. He leaves a lot of details unexplained for the fans to piece together and make theories about. Plus Emi Evans for writing the beautiful mysterious language of Chaos. Her lyrics in songs are part of the main reason that these games have a sort of magic that is hard to replicate.
It takes the universe to another level too. These poor souls were wandering earth for 8 thousand years after humanitys end, they might have just forgotten meaning of the words used by humans. I dont know why this song feels sad for most of the people. It brings me peace and hope.
Finding more about Replicant through bits of information and items from that game (not having played it) while playing Automata makes me feel like I'm uncovering the past of an ancestor and it's a truly fascinating feeling... And I feel like this song perfectly encompasses that feeling.
if you have the opportunity, play replicant you won't regret it
I swear the lyrics are changing everytime man
This shows, words are nothing, music is everything.
This song still gets to me, in 2024.
how many times this cover has been deleted by youtube? This is one of the best remix and I hope this is the OG song. Thanks for posting this again. I love it.
I love you miss

thanks a lot. the poster doesn't understand the lyrics have to come up before they are sang unfortunately
A calming addition to my morning. Thank you.
I CANT STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG
[SPOILERS AHEAD!]
I love the twins so much. I feel so bad for them, they feel so burdened by their guilt. Devola and Popola helping 9S and them seeing it as a way to atone for their mistakes is such a badass move. I feel their atonement
They needed a sincere hug and a big sorry from humans :(
They caused human extinction ??? How ??? I only watched the anime, can you spoil me a bit ? :D
@@dannieblack4245 They didn't, however, they were programmed to believe they did. Devola and Popola in the first Nier were tasked with overseeing Project Gestalt and, one day, to initiate reuniting Gestalts and Replicants to return Humanity. But, because Nier destroyed the Shadowlord, the centerpiece of the project, the whole Project Gestalt failed and Humanity became extinct. D and P were blamed, so every remaining Devola and Popola -Unit was reprogrammed to feel constant guilt, treated as an outcast and given only gruelling tasks.
You could write SPOILER alert at the start of your comment. I only just played the game 6 years after release. Luckily I already knew what you said before reading it
@@scary5455 yeah, you’re right. Ill put one. I also edited it to make it spoiler free. Sorry about that
Every time I listen to this song It gives me goosebumps it's so good
Devola and Popola did nothing wrong
Real😢
I did the quest for seen they sing this song in the tavern and a stand there, hands off the Dualshock, listening, and I got myself crying
Crying because the quest reward was a song, and is one of most marvelous thing I ever seen in a game, is the kinda thing that made me remember why i love vídeo games so much
I didn't finished the game yet, but Nier Replicant already have special place in my heart
I was there for almost half an hour, just sitting there and listening to this masterpiece
This song breaks me every time I hear even just a few seconds of it...
Devola and Popola.. You two have already reached your atonement when I met you two all over again..
Did they survive automata? My bet is no. But deep inside i want them to be OK.
@@szaka9395 Maybe yes, maybe no. We didn't see their body, but the tower crumble around them during one of the ending. So it's free to interpretation, but yeah i kind of wish for them to be ok, they are the characters who probably suffered the most.
Thanks for uploading this, it's really beatiful
If Drakengard had just an elements of tragedy in the story concept, NieR - is fullified by the tragedy from the start of the series. It's one of the most sensetive game-series i've ever played, honestly. It's literally a pure sadness to complete Nier:Replicant / Nier:Gestalt and after many years start playing Nier:Automata where all the characters you've loved, all the stories they created were just descended to nothing, but ashes. Kinda all of their chains that were connecting their feelings, or better to say a chains we created together while playing NieR were just a nothing in compare with time, kinda just a grain of sand in the sand dunes. When everything become just another legend of the kind boy who was wishing to save his little sister. The tragedy of the World Destroyer, who was just a human who wished for the happiness, by his own will, his choice, his promise, by his own tragic existance, saddly had no other way except to destroy last chance of humanity to survive. A story that longs for the 9 thousand years. A story which was started by the accident. An Unknown story for the it's own inhabitats, which will be always in the hearts of the ones who played in this tragical adventure. This story is actually lay on the ruines. Ruines of the first civilization, and then Ruines of the Old world. The story without names.
But the most important - it's a story about the feelings. About the Wonders and the Beauty. Of the world, that we are no longer belongs to.
When I first played NieR (Gestalt), back in 2010, when I heard this song for the first time at the village fountain, I put down my controller and just.. listened. I left it there for hours on end sometimes letting the song play in the background.
I recently started playing the game and this was one of the first things i did 🤩
I've finished ending A of nier:replicant a few days ago. I want to get all the endings, but knowing I have to go through this even once more makes me so sad, that I don't think I can do this. It's the first time this has happened to me and because of that I don't know what to do. I am just heartbroken because of this game. I fell in love with these characters in automata and now it's just hard to stop thinking about them after finishing replicant.

I have listened to every official version of this song that's been put out. But this mashup still has something special to it as well
This one is simply magical.
This should be on spotify
it is ♡
1.2 million views?!?!? This is a masterpiece it deserve few times more views than that...
Sir you look familiar 🤤. Caught 4k
Even if I don't understand it, I feel and know what they are trying to say, but I can't put it into words.
Celestial
This song gave me the same impact I felt when I heard Zelda's lullaby for the first time
This song makes me sad, please turn it ON
Yo, thanks for sharing. The original got taken down so I'm saving this one locally to keep it safe. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing
SPOILER: when this song played at the end of NieR Replicant ending A while you're fighting Devola and Popola straight up gave me depression
I'm gonna memorize this song
THE SWALA LINE GAVE ME FLASHBACKS OF THE TIME I WOULD SING SWALALALA DURING MATHS
Nier music will always hit hard
one day, i will lull this song to my kid to sleep
I love this so much. It's just too beautiful
That art though...
Kinda hot ngl…
@@IwalkOnLegos Honestly! It's sus since they're twins but it is hot lol
@@novustalks7525people always be talking about 2B and A2 but never talk about them!… They’re also sweet soooo…
@@novustalks7525lmao yeah they look like they’re definitely trying to seduce someone😂
this is done beautifully thank u so much
work of art
I'd pay money to have this version on Spotify
Devola and Popola did nothing wrong.
You have your own motives. Your own desires. And we have ours. I fear it really is that simple
for someone with autism like me this is the ultimate way to de-stress
Hope it doesn't get removed again
this may be my favorite side quest in all of gaming
I don't know what the words mean, so I can't say I understand what they are singing about. Yet, I know that the music is intended to evoke a beautiful sadness from within and it does it very, very well.
I'm not crying...it's dust
I have such a bizarre relation to Nier (the first one), I tried so many times to do it. But each time, there's just something that seems the keep me away frow finishing it, ifk why I just go and do something else and come back months if not YEARS after. Don't get me wrong I like the game and the game is living in my head rent free, but something just won't let me see the end of it
heres your reminder to try again. become broken like the rest of us
I never play to a single nier game, but this music make it like i'm born with.
There's an official audio version of this in the nier replicant 10+1 years album
1 Million Views ❤
This game stuck with me
Would love a version of this song where it goes through all three and back again with a single loop.
BEAUTIFUL
Nice mashup!!! Nier Replicant's soundtrack is amazing
loved
so good omlll
thank god i got the opportunity to play this series
Good music always makes me cry😢
Ehvenişers izleyip geldim,ne ağlaması gözüme neymor kaçmış :(
thank you
I NEED THIS VERSION ON SPOTIFY PLEASE
Just open two tabs in your browser and play both versions at the same time 😎
@@thechrissguy ..as opposed to opening one single tab and just listening to this video. Or better yet, _having it on spotify_ smh.
Hey there thanks for posting this! Did you seperate the vocals and edited them in? If so, could you tell me how you did it? Cause this is some impressive work. If not, could you tell me who made it?
before Fate, this song is calming and associated whit peace, it only plays in Nier's Village after all.
after fate, its just depressing
I’m bawling my eyes out now 😩😫😢
Alright fine I'll replay Nier Replicant
Por Dios, qué temazo.
I want a new Nier game so bad! Other games just suck after experiencing Nier :(
does this language have any translations?
It's a made up language. It waa created to sound great without having words make sense in a song.
Wow.
So it's the lyrics from song of the ancients (hollow dreams), with devola and popola's respective version's instrumentals, right?
Nonidea
I wish they will remake the whole Dranken lore game from the very beginning up to Nier Automata with more cinematic gameplay and cutscenes like God of War and Final Fantasy 7 remake for more feels
The music of NieR is versatile enough to suit any context. I'm not merely stating this because there happens to be a compilation about it on my channel-far from it.
Last Year I play this Masterpiece Game I I'm must Say Nier Replicant change a lot of my Life and see of many Things
We need an hour (or more) loop of THIS version. 🙏 PLEASE MAKE THAT HAPPEN 😁
Is the genius sisters that use in like a lab rat
good !!
My wifes
It's sad for them, were blamed for their predecessor faults :"
Are you coming from Nier Automata?
Well here (Nier Replicant) they ARE those two who messed up really bad ;-)
@@igorthelightthe ones in automata are different Devola and Popola than the two in replicant.
@@IwalkOnLegos True! Just the same base models not exactly those two units.
@@igorthelightI prefer the two from automata, because I can actually tell who’s who😂

Look, if you speak spanish like me, we shared laughs some words maked my day, but i played Nier: Replicant and its a game i would recommend if you got the maturity to see oppais that is
Beautiful. Discovered this gem as a recommendation from a friend Can someone explain the meaning? Ty.
The only actual source for this songs meaning is in game where Devola (left pictured character) speaks about this song referring to the white book that saves the world from the evil black book in a heroic tail. Beyond that, many versions of this song appear throughout the Nier games and is quite impactful when it is used which is why we all love it so much
Nice
woah
I wonder if there is any mp3 file of this song. I wanna keep this song like FOREVER
there's a way just google it how to jaja
Buy it
Y2mate man
yt-dlp takes a bit of programming knowledge to set up but is the best
its very ominous but also calming when you are already relaxed
I've lived most of my teenage years around middle east europe so I was like yeah that should work out, but god was i so wrong about it, even after learning Japanese and English throughout my life I'm like what does she shay? I know it's a made up language but for the love of god i can't make it up even after being proficient in 2/3 languages she singsis in.
the lyrics come in just a smidge too late to sing along :(
