Holy s***! 100k views in such a short amount of time. That is absolutely insane. Thank you all so much for watching and sharing this cover. I love you all! Thought I'd adress one question here since so many are asking/commenting about it, and that is regarding the "I'm only one girl" line. I think that what is written in the lyrics are final. I am only singing the lyrics like I am reading a book. I personally feel it would be disrespectful to change it since we all know the character that these words are written by. If I changed the girl part it would no longer be that persons lyrics I am conveying. This is how I feel about it anyways! :)
To be honest, that is fine. We don't care about that "I'm only one girl" portion of the lyrics. Because for one, you are portraying how you feel with your voice within the song itself and its the originality that counts and I respect that.
I thought about that the first time I listened to it. I ultimately came to a similar conclusion. It's why you don't see women artists who cover songs about men eyeing that special gal change the respective pronouns. The music was built to fit the words, and the words are meant to fit the music. And you can't reasonably change the lyrics without turning a cover into something not a cover.
I have two regrets: First, doing like EVERY mission I could find because I didn't know chapter select was going to be a thing. So I was super overleveled for 90% of the game and it killed some of the tension. Second, 9S's hacking.... I love the guy, his story's awesome, but seriously, fuck everything about having to play that minigame because having to rely on it just sucks. It's a cool idea, but MAN is it not nearly as fun and engaging as it should be.
Before playing nier: Wow, this is a good song! After completing all endings: It's [sob] like I'm carrying [sniff] *THE WEIGHT OF THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD!*
I didn’t anticipate getting so emotionally attached to the story. I just did my second A - E play through and I still get choked up about how beautiful it was to me. Also, I did an A - E of NieR Replicant and ending C D and E were fantastic. The game wasn’t as engaging to me as Automata, but it was worth every second to experience it.
It’s impressive how you managed to take all the sadness of the song and channel it into a new kind of angery against the fate... It’s just my personal interpretation, and I like it.
Most emotional songs I think can be conveyed in a more agressive/angry manner as people handle sad situations differently. That's how I see it anyways :)
Skar Productions indeed! And that’s what I love about your cover. You made me hear the song in a completely different way, enriching it... really great work
in my personal experience, sad songs are so hard to convey because of how hurt someone truly has to be to do it. I wouldn't ever downplay a song, but to get that tear-jerking sadness... it ain't easy.
Saw the video in my recommended section and thought, "meh, it can't be done properly in metal, but why not?" Now, this is probably my favorite cover of the song. 10/10 will never doubt again
Subscribing to you was a no-brainer. Bought this on the Play Store as well. My wife loves it too, lol. Also, as a huge Witcher 3 fan, your covers of Lullaby of Woe and Wolven Storm are phenomenal. I've been telling everyone I know about you, you deserve way more subs and need to be much more well known :)
This is me right now, im unable to get the help at the final battle:( I cant go further that beating the Squarenix and Marketing Team before I lost my 2 lifes.
been 5 years, i keep coming back for it, you made a cover that goes beyond just being a cover, it has its own unique take on the song that has its own appeal. honestly love it
Im loving how this game is inspiring so many people to create art and music about the game. God, this game is so fucking good. Probably my game of 2017 if im going by impact alone. Your voice is fucking awesome, man! I love this cover so much.
I couldn't agree more my friend! This is why it's so much fun to make this covers so I can share my love for the games and it's music with others who feel the same :)
Yeah, I'm torn. I consider Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Persona 5 better *games,* but Nier Automata is hands down the best *experience* in gaming this year. (And quite possibly the best in the history of the medium.) Ending E in particular is downright magical - nothing in any other video game has ever affected me the way that moment did.
Of course. And I was really happy about that, too coz Undertale is a fucking amazing game that I feared would be totally overlooked. But thankfully it wasn't! I just felt the same way with Automata. I was getting more and more surprised by the number of people who were touched by it and really getting into it as well.
Pod 153: Proposal: dont listen another million times to this song. FP: Negativ, can't stop. Its just too fucking good. Seriously dude, this is soooo amazing, really good work!! Keep it up!
Sheesh, wish I found this when I finished playing NieR Automata back in high school, one of the best games I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing, and love the way you transformed such a sad song into something that felt like a mix of anger and triumph. Gonna have to check out the rest of the backlog here.
Dude, you are amazing. Normally I don't buy music, but I love this so fucking much that I bought it on Google Play and listen to it obsessively everyday. Much respect and love to you.
When I first finished Nier: Automata, I was reeling from the sheer emotional roller coaster I had just gotten off of. So many deep elements in story telling, the emotions I felt for characters that I somehow knew (spoilers) were on a one way trip, and the music score of the whole experience was something I hadn't felt for years. When I got to the final credits and this song was playing as I was shooting down team members names, it felt like I was putting down an old friend to rest. The vocals, slowly building up with English, French, Deutsch, Japanese etc, to a tear flowing crescendo nearly sent me to bawling in my chair, that whole design was absolutely beautiful and PERFECTLY executed. Not since my first time beating Mass Effect (the first game) and hitting the whole ending sequence, the credits and the ending song brought me to tears, it was so awesome! You sir, with your astounding musical talent and sick ass hell vocals, brought those same emotions back after a nearly a year! I salute you! ; w ; 7
I know this is old, but the music changes between 3 versions: English, Japanese, and Chaos, language created by Emi Evans, who made this song and almost all other from Nier and Nier Automata, she made the language for Song Of the Ancients originally from Nier then a remake to Automata. The language is an actual language with meaning made from a mix of French, Deutsch, Japanese and others. She's an amazing composer, singer( she's the one who sings in Chaos language in the songs) etc.
Wow, this is excellent! It even manages to keep the pacing of the original. I'm happy RUclips recommended this to me. I'll definitely be listening to your old tracks as well as any new ones you put out.
I feel like I'm losing hope In my body and my soul And the sky, it looks so ominous And as time comes to a halt Silence starts to overflow My cries are inconspicuous Tell me God, are you punishing me? Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes? This is my redemption song I need you more than ever right now Can you hear me now? Cause we're going to shout it loud Even if our words seem meaningless It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world I wish that someway, somehow That I can save every one of us But the truth is that I'm only one girl Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life Come to life After all the laughter fades Signs of life all washed away I can still, still feel a gentle breeze No matter how hard I pray Signs of warning still remain And life has become my enemy Tell me God, are you punishing me? Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes? This is my redemption song I need you more than ever right now Can you hear me now? Cause we're going to shout it loud Even if our words seem meaningless It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world I wish that someway, somehow That I can save every one of us But the truth is that I'm only one girl Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life Come to life Cause we're going to shout it loud Even if our words seem meaningless Like I'm carrying the weight of the world I wish that someway, somehow That I can save every one of us But the truth is that I'm only one girl Still, we're going to shout it loud Even if our words seem meaningless It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world I hope that someway, somehow That I can save every one of us But the truth is that I'm only one girl Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life Come to life
I’m repeating this song to finish writing a male character of mine. I love that you said “one girl” like “one guuuyyy” so in a way, male characters could relate.
I love that you kept "girl" instead of changing it to "boy" to fit comfort levels. I feel like a lot of good covers of other songs have been ruined by that. It just feels petty and small imo. This cover is amazing, dude. Stay metal.
the song is about a girl that feels the world is too much for her. it doesnt matter if its a man singing it, i still picture 2B trying to figure out her place on earth.
I think the song is about a person looking for purpose in life and a place to belong to in the world, regardless of gender. But if anyone wants to have a male version of this song I think "man" would work better than "boy".
After playing all of Yoko Taro's games i've been filled with a sense of regret and sadness because i will never be able to witness them for the first time again, sure some of them are a bit rough but they always make me feel an explosion of emotions that i rarely feel anymore. i sincerely hope that Yoko continues making video games because they are some of the best games i've ever played in terms of atmosphere, soundtrack, and story.
I first found this version a year ago and it blew me away just as hard then as it does now. You, sir, are an incredibly talented musician and this version has so much power behind it. Really amazing stuff.
Don't remember asking to be in grammar school. Sure as hell am not paying you for it either. It was an accident though. I misclicked looking for a different video. @@LEWIS1992
I am Japanese. I love this song too! It was nice to meet this song you play and singing. Because I am using translation function, it is bad english ...
I show this people who don't like metal/videogames/anime all the time even if they think it's weird. This song brings me to tears every time and metal is one of the most important music genres in my life. To me this is emotion! Thank you
I never really thought about playing NieR: Automata, but now I'll try this game👍 And большое спасибо за другие потрясающие metal covers! I wish you all the best ☺
Pod 153: you should stop listening to this song. Me: Pod. Stop all logical thinking and shut up while I'm listening at this song. It will remain effect until I stop listening to this song.
I hope that your channel gets the exposure you deserve. It's about time that some actual true metal covers gets some publicity. The quality of this video is top notch, as you can tell by the influx of your views. Whatever marketing you've done for this video, keep it up. Even though this song isn't necessarily "heavy" it gave me chills. Although I mostly listen to melodic death metal, and some black/doom, this still is extremely impressive when compared to the so called "metal" covers some other individuals put out. Thank you for a great tune, keep it up.
I discovered the games because of your cover here. RUclips just played it amoung some Video Game music I've listend to while I was cleaning. I thought "damn that Sounds good, what is it?" Then I went to the TV and looked up the name. Next thing was looking for the original and my thought was "damn that could be a song from mgs, what is that game?". I've heard the name before but I have no picture. I watched some videos and thought that it's not exactly my preferred type of gameplay but hey give it a try. I called my brother If he had the first one and yes (Jackpot). Somewhere He storaged it years ago with hundreds of old Xbox 360 games at our parents house. I visited them and searched throu dozends of cardboard boxes and found it. Blowed the dust of my old Xbox 360 and lets go. The rest is history. I became a huge fan of this franchise. Played houndreds of hours, bought merch and listen the whole time the OST.
I'll translate this: "Amazing! I was deeply moved by your powerful voice. Words can't express how much joy and emotion it makes me feel. Thank you for singing it!"
I saw this video in my recommended JUST after I finished NieR:Automata almost 100%, (I'm missing 5 achievements and I'm done), and man, I cried with the OG song from every ending from A to D, but I almost lost it on Ending E, and this version is just... Wow, keep it up, this was amazing!
原曲は海底から海中を揺蕩う泡沫の様な雰囲気だけど、こっちのメタルアレンジは荒野を翼付けて疾走して飛び駆け抜けてくイメージで好き。 Because the translation function is not used in English, the impression remains Japanese. I don't know exactly how to translate correctly because it is reliable. I'm sorry for the impression of Japanese. However, it is glad when the feeling that it is pleasant to hear the song of the way of singing is transmitted.
Awesome game. I got goose bumbs so often and still get when hearing some of the songs. This song and the very first time entering the amusement park... They so intense. I really hope we will get more of such masterpiece games!
The original gave me goosebumps from the powerful and beautiful, yet hopeless (with the little bit of hope that it shines) from the song. This one gives me goosebumps like I'm fighting a powerful boss with only a butter knife. Same song, different goosebumps. Love NieR:Automata, and love this cover.
Absolutely wonderful! I am most often disappointed by these types of covers, but you really hit it spot on! Musically and vocally - a truly stellar performance! Thanks!
Great job man. This song transcends sound and language. Once you've heard it, you know it, you feel it. That's the power of that game. It's more of an emotional experience than a game
Fuar Enid Bréacc Glas dude why can't you text everything in English? What you can't make up your mind as to what language you should text in? Dude what for is it done man? Like I'm genuinely curious I mean might be something I don't get, ya know
Congratulations from Ukraine, I constantly listen to this song in the soundcloud, although many of my friends can not understand her beauty, but I am very grateful for such a beautiful cover.
I was skeptical when I saw the title, but in the first minute alone you sir sold me. The emotion and music. This hold the weight of the orignal song with something a unique flare the gives a feeling of hype. Fantasic truly fantastic.
When I heard the metal intro I was like: "this sounds really cool", and then you start singing and I say "Wow!, I didn't expected that powerful and awesome voice". You totally nailed this cover!
the way you bring the strings in halfway through the solo, and the bass/synth drop with the vocals really really made this. this cover does the game justice
Like Terok, I've found your channel because of this song and damn the cover is awesome!!! you made me go and check the original ( I haven't played the game) and your job is impressive here! greetings from Mexico!! Keep up the good work!!
@@skiidzman Actually the sound director is a guy named Keiichi Okabe. He wrote the song and composed it as well. The musicians playing it are just bringing it to life, which is talented in its own right. But in this case Mr. Okabe did make a better piece than most Popular bands now days.
@@skiidzman These kinds of games don't just hire any bands on the street to do their music lmao Composers like Keiichi Okabe has standards. Music charts don't and are mostly fucking garbage. Get outta here.
No puedo creer que recien hoy y DE CASUALIDAD descubro esta obra de arte, sos un genio loco, segui asi!! saludos desde argentina! I can not believe that just today and BY CASE I discover this work of art, you are a crazy genius, I kept it up !! greetings from Argentina!
I lost track of how many times I listened to this. I think it is one of the best covers ever, it stays true to the feeling of the song despite the different vocal tone. Also the reason I subbed.
I love this rendition, and how it hits just as hard as that final credit scene (anyone who did ending E knows what I mean) absolutely beautiful man, amazing metal version of an absolutely amazing song! Listen to this every chance I get! 🤘🏻 also your voice fits amazingly to the melody of the song, it's just so perfect!
Came across this in my Spotify Discover Weekly, and about screamed, because I wasn't expecting to hear a Nier:Automata cover, especially hot on the heels of just finishing the game. This is fantastic!
I beat Nier: Automata a few months ago and have been obsessed with the soundtrack ever since. Just the other day though one of my online buddies in FFXIV shared this video with me and it just blew me away. Liked, subscribed, and have listened on repeat multiple times. Thank you and keep up the amazing work!
Yeah, I don't usually like metal... and going through a rough depression (lost my job after almost 9 years) about 2 weeks ago and this just appeared in my recommended.
Hey Skar, don't know if you'll see this since the video is a bit old but I just wanted to say that this cover completely blows me away every time I listen to it. I actually have it burned on a CD that I listen to in my car! I am just so impressed by your talent and my girlfriend and I cannot stop jamming to this every time we go somewhere. You're the best!!
Where to even begin. The tightness of the playing and the recording & mixing is one thing. The reinterpretation into a metal style is another masterfully done element. The overall in-tune-ness of each element feeding into one overall harmonically tasty cover is another venerable achievement. But really what makes this? What takes all those elements and turns them into one masterful achievement that will be always be capable of changing people when they listen to you? It's the belief, the passion, the uncompromising oneness that screams itself through your performance that makes this experience one that I'll never forget. This is beautiful and there's no other suitable word for it. Amazing work. Instant subscribe. I see that you're not a super regular uploader and that's totally cool. Just know that when you do upload again, whenever it is, there will be people who are ready and eager to hear you. Much love

The only regret I have after playing Nier: Automata is that I'll never be able to play it for the first time again.
Cpt. Dandilion bc you so fucked up right?
I'm still waiting patiently for a PC port so I can play it, so I haven't fucked up yet, so to speak yaya
for nier: automata?, the pc release was one week after the console release, if you meant the other nier parts, they won't get a port
maybe one day the original nier will be ported
maybe if we keep believing our dreams will come to life...
I have two regrets:
First, doing like EVERY mission I could find because I didn't know chapter select was going to be a thing. So I was super overleveled for 90% of the game and it killed some of the tension.
Second, 9S's hacking.... I love the guy, his story's awesome, but seriously, fuck everything about having to play that minigame because having to rely on it just sucks. It's a cool idea, but MAN is it not nearly as fun and engaging as it should be.

dang accurate!
2 years later. Doing the exact same thing. Had no idea this was possible.
Before playing nier:
Wow, this is a good song!
After completing all endings:
It's [sob] like I'm carrying [sniff] *THE WEIGHT OF THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD!*
Whomever you are, even if you were someone I hated... you're welcome

I know right? May 2B, and the other Androids, rest in piece
I didn’t anticipate getting so emotionally attached to the story. I just did my second A - E play through and I still get choked up about how beautiful it was to me.
Also, I did an A - E of NieR Replicant and ending C D and E were fantastic. The game wasn’t as engaging to me as Automata, but it was worth every second to experience it.

Thank you for commenting! Glad that it hits home with people who are so invested in the story :)
I know this is old, but the music changes between 3 versions: English, Japanese, and Chaos, language created by Emi Evans, who made this song and almost all other from Nier and Nier Automata, she made the language for Song Of the Ancients originally from Nier then a remake to Automata. The language is an actual language with meaning made from a mix of French, Deutsch, Japanese and others. She's an amazing composer, singer( she's the one who sings in Chaos language in the songs) etc.
Why is German the one language that people in this comment chain are writing in itself? You didn't say Français or Nihongo...
Wow, this is excellent! It even manages to keep the pacing of the original. I'm happy RUclips recommended this to me. I'll definitely be listening to your old tracks as well as any new ones you put out.

Runasutaru I love being recommended gems like these....honestly earned my sub I'd even patron
I feel like I'm losing hope
In my body and my soul
And the sky, it looks so ominous
And as time comes to a halt
Silence starts to overflow
My cries are inconspicuous
Tell me God, are you punishing me?
Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes?
This is my redemption song
I need you more than ever right now
Can you hear me now?
Cause we're going to shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world
I wish that someway, somehow
That I can save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl
Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life
Come to life
After all the laughter fades
Signs of life all washed away
I can still, still feel a gentle breeze
No matter how hard I pray
Signs of warning still remain
And life has become my enemy
Tell me God, are you punishing me?
Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes?
This is my redemption song
I need you more than ever right now
Can you hear me now?
Cause we're going to shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world
I wish that someway, somehow
That I can save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl
Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life
Come to life
Cause we're going to shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
Like I'm carrying the weight of the world
I wish that someway, somehow
That I can save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl
Still, we're going to shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world
I hope that someway, somehow
That I can save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl
Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life
Come to life
thank you so much! I'm fluent in english but I have still difficulty to comprehend oral english, so I couldn't have retranscribed it by myself ^^""
I’m repeating this song to finish writing a male character of mine. I love that you said “one girl” like “one guuuyyy” so in a way, male characters could relate.
Years later and I still come back to this
By far the best cover
I've been listening to this for something like 2 hours straight. Amazing work.
I love that you kept "girl" instead of changing it to "boy" to fit comfort levels. I feel like a lot of good covers of other songs have been ruined by that. It just feels petty and small imo. This cover is amazing, dude. Stay metal.
Thanks for this! This is exactly how I feel.
the song is about a girl that feels the world is too much for her. it doesnt matter if its a man singing it, i still picture 2B trying to figure out her place on earth.
Rodrigo Oshiro I feel like it’s more about A2’s inner feelings than 2B’s.
I agree man. It also throws it off to change it because "girl" is supposed to be rhyming off of "world"
I think the song is about a person looking for purpose in life and a place to belong to in the world, regardless of gender. But if anyone wants to have a male version of this song I think "man" would work better than "boy".
After playing all of Yoko Taro's games i've been filled with a sense of regret and sadness because i will never be able to witness them for the first time again, sure some of them are a bit rough but they always make me feel an explosion of emotions that i rarely feel anymore. i sincerely hope that Yoko continues making video games because they are some of the best games i've ever played in terms of atmosphere, soundtrack, and story.
感動しました。良い時間をありがとうございます！
I dont know how the fuck u got in my recommended list, but by fucking god Im glad you did. Great cover from a great song from a great game. (xD)
Elder9103 same here
Indeed, same happened to me
Same here.
Guess RUclips's algorithm does something good every now and then
Just delete that "xD".
I first found this version a year ago and it blew me away just as hard then as it does now. You, sir, are an incredibly talented musician and this version has so much power behind it. Really amazing stuff.
One of the most brilliant and haunting story for a fricking video game..your adaption of song is tje best thing there is right now
I found this channel on accident, but I'm blown away by how epic this cover is. How did I not find this sooner?
Because it doesn’t matter when you did, but that you’re here now!
*"by accident", not "on accident"...
Don't remember asking to be in grammar school. Sure as hell am not paying you for it either. It was an accident though. I misclicked looking for a different video. @@LEWIS1992
I am Japanese.
I love this song too!
It was nice to meet this song you play and singing.
Because I am using translation function, it is bad english ...
おまえの英語は大丈夫です
He has a japanese version by himself. Go check it
Wiser words have never been said.
Glory To Mankind \m/
I show this people who don't like metal/videogames/anime all the time even if they think it's weird.
This song brings me to tears every time and metal is one of the most important music genres in my life.
To me this is emotion!
Thank you
For the glory of mankind.
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light...

Gloria Hominibus!
This is gorgeous. Thank you for this masterpiece. Already on my NieR playlist on Google Play and has been on repeat all day
Wow, that is really cool! Thanks!
"GOD ARE YOU PUNISHING MEEEEEEEEE"
God be like "take it easy yo"
Well I mean.... they were talking to humanity when they said god... So yeah god *does* say "take it easy yo"
@@DeeRadens 9 months ago but im still laugh
Nah god is the devs. And you get to kill them
@@rollforrupees6479 god is also humanity in context of the game
God: you are punishing me
I still bawl to this song.
I never really thought about playing NieR: Automata, but now I'll try this game👍
And большое спасибо за другие потрясающие metal covers! I wish you all the best ☺
Absolutely worth it! :)
Dude Nier Automata is amazing play it like seriously
^^ You're really not aware of the huge amount of epicness you're going to take.
Enjoy my friend. A magnificent experience awaits you :)
Armando X why can't you text everything in English?
Pod 153: you should stop listening to this song.
Me: Pod. Stop all logical thinking and shut up while I'm listening at this song. It will remain effect until I stop listening to this song.
I hope that your channel gets the exposure you deserve. It's about time that some actual true metal covers gets some publicity. The quality of this video is top notch, as you can tell by the influx of your views. Whatever marketing you've done for this video, keep it up. Even though this song isn't necessarily "heavy" it gave me chills. Although I mostly listen to melodic death metal, and some black/doom, this still is extremely impressive when compared to the so called "metal" covers some other individuals put out. Thank you for a great tune, keep it up.
Thanks for the comment! I am just happy people are finding it and listening :) I will keep making more!
9S: "Hey 2B, hand me the aux cord"
2B: "You'd better not play trash"
9S: *this*
Cring
2B: *proceeds to execute*
Ending 2E, the Pods just start discussing this song and how much it captures everything about humanity that survived in the androids/machines. x3
Nah, this is what A2’s listening to during Route A
I discovered the games because of your cover here. RUclips just played it amoung some Video Game music I've listend to while I was cleaning. I thought "damn that Sounds good, what is it?" Then I went to the TV and looked up the name. Next thing was looking for the original and my thought was "damn that could be a song from mgs, what is that game?". I've heard the name before but I have no picture. I watched some videos and thought that it's not exactly my preferred type of gameplay but hey give it a try. I called my brother If he had the first one and yes (Jackpot). Somewhere He storaged it years ago with hundreds of old Xbox 360 games at our parents house. I visited them and searched throu dozends of cardboard boxes and found it. Blowed the dust of my old Xbox 360 and lets go. The rest is history. I became a huge fan of this franchise. Played houndreds of hours, bought merch and listen the whole time the OST.
素晴らしい！力強い声に胸が熱くなりました。この嬉しさと感動は言葉じゃ言い表せません。歌ってくれてありがとう！！！
I'll translate this: "Amazing! I was deeply moved by your powerful voice. Words can't express how much joy and emotion it makes me feel. Thank you for singing it!"
I saw this video in my recommended JUST after I finished NieR:Automata almost 100%, (I'm missing 5 achievements and I'm done), and man, I cried with the OG song from every ending from A to D, but I almost lost it on Ending E, and this version is just... Wow, keep it up, this was amazing!
原曲は海底から海中を揺蕩う泡沫の様な雰囲気だけど、こっちのメタルアレンジは荒野を翼付けて疾走して飛び駆け抜けてくイメージで好き。
Because the translation function is not used in English, the impression remains Japanese.
I don't know exactly how to translate correctly because it is reliable.
I'm sorry for the impression of Japanese.
However, it is glad when the feeling that it is pleasant to hear the song of the way of singing is transmitted.
Wow, 2 years and a half without discovering this masterpiece o.o
This is perfection *total respect*
Same here. Just finished the game and Im headbanging while crying.
I freaking love it when sings " Tell me, God, are you punishing me?" it gives me chills every time.
hello from France!
It's amazing, good job!
カッコよすぎ（笑）
曲調は激しいのに、NieRのシーンが色々と甦ってきて涙が出そうになる不思議……。
時田斑鳩 自分もそう思います。
ニーアは勿論ですが、FFXVで車に乗ってる時ずっと聞いてたので、それも思い出して泣けてきちゃいます。
When it started I wasn't expecting anything intense but when you started singing, just damn
めっちゃかっこいい！
COOL!!!
This has to be hands down the best cover of this song I've ever heard! You're an absolute legend, Great show!
Wow amazing!
I was not expecting such talent and quality! subscribed
2 years later and still the best damn cover of this song.
Awesome game. I got goose bumbs so often and still get when hearing some of the songs.
This song and the very first time entering the amusement park... They so intense.
I really hope we will get more of such masterpiece games!
This cover deserves MORE recognition. I know its 5 years old almost but it's absolutely amazing!
This is Amazing af!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :D
The original gave me goosebumps from the powerful and beautiful, yet hopeless (with the little bit of hope that it shines) from the song. This one gives me goosebumps like I'm fighting a powerful boss with only a butter knife. Same song, different goosebumps.
Love NieR:Automata, and love this cover.
I absolutely love NieR: Automata, and the soundtrack.
Your sir, have done a fan-f***ing-tastic job on this cover!
Absolutely wonderful! I am most often disappointed by these types of covers, but you really hit it spot on! Musically and vocally - a truly stellar performance! Thanks!
Great job man. This song transcends sound and language. Once you've heard it, you know it, you feel it. That's the power of that game. It's more of an emotional experience than a game
Hello from Russia. It's wonderful, madly like your covers.
А голос шикарный)
Согласен!))

Fuar Enid Bréacc Glas dude why can't you text everything in English? What you can't make up your mind as to what language you should text in? Dude what for is it done man? Like I'm genuinely curious I mean might be something I don't get, ya know
Люто плюсую
Congratulations from Ukraine, I constantly listen to this song in the soundcloud, although many of my friends can not understand her beauty, but I am very grateful for such a beautiful cover.
I was skeptical when I saw the title, but in the first minute alone you sir sold me. The emotion and music. This hold the weight of the orignal song with something a unique flare the gives a feeling of hype. Fantasic truly fantastic.
No better compliment than this :) thank you!
When I heard the metal intro I was like: "this sounds really cool", and then you start singing and I say "Wow!, I didn't expected that powerful and awesome voice". You totally nailed this cover!
the way you bring the strings in halfway through the solo, and the bass/synth drop with the vocals really really made this. this cover does the game justice
Greetings from Germany. I've found the channel across this video and have listen to the song certainly a thousand times. Very great job you did there.
Thank you! Glad you found meh :D
Like Terok, I've found your channel because of this song and damn the cover is awesome!!! you made me go and check the original ( I haven't played the game) and your job is impressive here! greetings from Mexico!! Keep up the good work!!
When video games make better music than most of popular bands.
And who do you think they contracted to make the music? Bands, duh =D
@@skiidzman
Actually the sound director is a guy named Keiichi Okabe. He wrote the song and composed it as well. The musicians playing it are just bringing it to life, which is talented in its own right. But in this case Mr. Okabe did make a better piece than most Popular bands now days.
looking forward to that ori and the blind forest concert
ori is killin it live on his drums lol
This is very old news.
@@skiidzman These kinds of games don't just hire any bands on the street to do their music lmao
Composers like Keiichi Okabe has standards.
Music charts don't and are mostly fucking garbage.
Get outta here.
No puedo creer que recien hoy y DE CASUALIDAD descubro esta obra de arte, sos un genio loco, segui asi!! saludos desde argentina!
I can not believe that just today and BY CASE I discover this work of art, you are a crazy genius, I kept it up !! greetings from Argentina!
The Intro is incredibly catching and energetic. Moved by your powerful voice as well. SO TALENTED AND GIFTED! 2thumbs up
Clicked this video without a single idea of how you can cover such a song into a metal song. But you nailed it :D
I've never played this game, but man this hit me on an emotional level. Your music is helping me lift myself out of the funk I've been in.
Play the game and this song will be better contextualized and have much more emotional significance.
First time: THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD ! NO NEED 2ND TIME TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS A MASTERPIECE !
A cover I never knew I needed, Ive lost track of how many times I've played this for the past 2 days
I can say without a shadow of a doubt...that this si the best cover for Weight of the World...for eternity.
I lost track of how many times I listened to this. I think it is one of the best covers ever, it stays true to the feeling of the song despite the different vocal tone.
Also the reason I subbed.
I love this rendition, and how it hits just as hard as that final credit scene (anyone who did ending E knows what I mean) absolutely beautiful man, amazing metal version of an absolutely amazing song! Listen to this every chance I get! 🤘🏻 also your voice fits amazingly to the melody of the song, it's just so perfect!
3 years later, and this is still a great cover!
Hello from Russia, Thank you for your readiness! It's really epic! I wish you success in your work!
он явно крут как яйца
))
The original song is fantastic, and your cover doesn't fall short in any aspect. Awesome job!
Came across this in my Spotify Discover Weekly, and about screamed, because I wasn't expecting to hear a Nier:Automata cover, especially hot on the heels of just finishing the game. This is fantastic!
I need to know, what was the band shirt you were wearing in this video?
You and many others haha! It’s the black dahlia murder :)
Thank the gods I wanted to know this aswell tho my old comment might come out as making fun of it instead awesome! thx 🤘🧘♂️
This is legendary, OST worthy. Keep up the good work.
Badass! Your Voice fits Very well in this song And the instruments were flawless! Subscribed!
Thanks!
I beat Nier: Automata a few months ago and have been obsessed with the soundtrack ever since. Just the other day though one of my online buddies in FFXIV shared this video with me and it just blew me away. Liked, subscribed, and have listened on repeat multiple times. Thank you and keep up the amazing work!
Thank your friend for me! :D The nier soundtrack is beyond amazing!
Yup, still can't listen to any version of this song without tearing up. You nailed it.
Yeah, I don't usually like metal... and going through a rough depression (lost my job after almost 9 years) about 2 weeks ago and this just appeared in my recommended.
I've been repeating this time after time and can't get down to my work. Maybe this is the price I'm paying for finding this cover.
Hey Skar, don't know if you'll see this since the video is a bit old but I just wanted to say that this cover completely blows me away every time I listen to it. I actually have it burned on a CD that I listen to in my car! I am just so impressed by your talent and my girlfriend and I cannot stop jamming to this every time we go somewhere.
You're the best!!
I read all comments from every video :) so glad you like it!!
Best cover I've heard of this song by far
I only discovered this cover now
Beautiful !
Where to even begin. The tightness of the playing and the recording & mixing is one thing. The reinterpretation into a metal style is another masterfully done element. The overall in-tune-ness of each element feeding into one overall harmonically tasty cover is another venerable achievement. But really what makes this? What takes all those elements and turns them into one masterful achievement that will be always be capable of changing people when they listen to you? It's the belief, the passion, the uncompromising oneness that screams itself through your performance that makes this experience one that I'll never forget. This is beautiful and there's no other suitable word for it. Amazing work. Instant subscribe. I see that you're not a super regular uploader and that's totally cool. Just know that when you do upload again, whenever it is, there will be people who are ready and eager to hear you. Much love
