- Title: Swim to the Moon
Artist: Between the Buried and Me
Background:
I had been wanting to cover something from these guys for a while so a couple months ago I asked r/BetweenTheBuriedAndMe which track they'd like to see an orchestral cover of. "Go big or go home, Swim To The Moon" was the most upvoted comment so I decided to go with that one and... man... they were NOT kidding. This is a mammoth track (even by prog metal standards) but it has so much zany personality that I never grew tired of working on it. Along the way I got to break out not only some fun drum programming but an absolutely demented pipe organ solo. Hopefully it captures the spirit of the original!
Also you'll notice I did something pretty drastically different with the visualization this time around. It was a bit more work but I liked the process a lot and it changed the way I thought about orchestrating. This is my first time notating a track in actual sheet music so forgive my mistakes with the markings. I might stick with this format or go back to midi scroll in the future -- I'm still undecided.

If any song deserves an orchestral cover, it's this
This is my favorite BTBAM song of all time, and hearing this is absolutely beautiful, the pre-chorus made me cry.
Took an entire orchestra to do what a 5-piece band can do.
Hope btbam hears this
This sounds like an epic argument/duel between two former friends who randomly decided to reminisce in the good times from 9:50 until 13:40
I was looking for an instrumental version of this epic. This will absolutely do!!
I want to take this to an orchestra and be like "would you be interested in playing this?"
I would rent te venue myself just for the experience
Take it a step further go back in time and hand it to beethoven
Only a minute or two in. Absolutely fantastic!
"roll forearms across keys"
That. Was. Fucking. Unreal...
Someone needs to make an epic short film to this, NOW!
“Cowboy hat is NOT optional” 😂
Good stuff! Post it on socials and tag them. 100% they will love it!!
I love how sudden the kit come in at the drum solo, it makes me imagine Richardson just spontaneously appearing and absolutely killing it! Lol
This was literally unbelievable
Bravo. Cowboy hat not optional!
Ah yes. Peak music
So epic! It would be great to see Selkies: The Endless Obsession in the orchestral style also.
Wow man kinda speechless here... thanks for sharing this with people...
holy titssss this is my favorite song of theirs, thanks for doing this!!! its so well done, all the differences in harmonizations and dynamics really show how much effort went into this, good job.
This is incredible and so beautiful! ...AND at the same time just makes me all the more in awe of BTBAM as composers. Thank you for making this cover, which truly shines, highlighting the band's creative genius!
OH. MY. GOD 🔥
roll forearms across keys lol
just how tommy does it
This is actually really good
Like super good
I’m blown away with how you managed to capture everything very well
Incredible account of work this was. Thank you so much for creating it, it was amazing!
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE! Very well done, mate. Bring more whenever you can!
this is beyond cool, thanks a lot for the hard work and sharing this
sounds so much like it belongs in n a final fantasy boss fight.
Wow... This is absolutely amazing
Oh my God. My ears needed this. I can't believe what I'm hearing, this is absolute insanity! I love it!
Wow dude great work man.
Putting the full drum solo was an excellent decision.
god damn incredible
Namco needs to make Xenogears 2, so this can be the final boss music
Holy man god, this is good!
Thank fuckin god for you ❤️
That was really sick, good work 👍
Incredible!
That was impressive!!
Wow. I didn't realize how much I needed this.
This is incredible work dude. Can I ask you what plug ins or libraries you're using for the orchestra
This is so sick. Well done.
Awesome! Great work!
Wow dude! Have you sent this to BTBAM?
This is really amazing.
Would you like to do the same for Viljans Öga by Änglagård? Just in case you plan to do more. I think it would be perfect!
Bless the algorithm!! 😭😭😭 Immediate like and subscribe 💚↘️↖️
I love how intricately arranged the percussion parts are, until we get to the Samba section and it’s just a straight copy+paste job. Lol Blake is 1 of 1. What a cool project!
Dude, you really need to do Black Rose Immortal in this style lol
i didn't know i needed this
This is awesome! Must have taken so much effort.
Which sample libraries did you use here?
Thank you for the kind words! Cinematic Studios for strings, piano, and woodwinds. Also JXL for all brass (except trumpets which were CSB), Metropolis Ark 1/4 for choirs, cineharpsichord/harps, Tina guo vol. 1, and Atelier sax for the solo. Percussion was Cineperc, JXL, GGD Invasion for the drumset, and various Met Arks. Finally, spitfire labs and a few other free libraries covered any missing bases I had.
Edit: Added a few I forgot
@@AstralP0rk You deserve it! Thanks for your elaborate answer. It sounds awesome!
Can someone put the original song over it?
Dude! This is my favorite band! This is actually one of my favorite albums of theirs!! Great job!
Was it hard to score?
Definitely the most challenging so far. The choruses (especially the one at 9 minutes) were probably the toughest part. Something about layering those chords was very tricky and took a lot of tries get right.
