This is my favorite song from the game, mostly because it fucks me up really hard. Spoilers? Spoilers. . This is a song that pretty much says that they are stuck in this town and wish they could leave, I may be just messing with myself when i think this but I think that Casey wrote this song, and in the end he wasn't able to actually leave even though he wanted to.
it's worth mentioning that Scott Benson answered that on his Curious Cat page bc someone asked the same thing and he said "nah casey wasn't a writer." It does make you wonder which of the group did though! My bet is Gregg and Mae wrote it together, they seem the type.
@@jamieeverett5313 My bet is it was Bea, she states in the game multiple times that she has always wanted to leave the place and go to college (the reason she doesn't like Mae at the start).
@@blixerthememer5465 Based on what source? In-game, it is heavily implied through dialogue that this is Bea’s song. A variation of it is also included in the Finding Bea scene. Most of the songs are ambiguous enough that the player can decide who they think wrote them.
i have never actually played the game but i watched a few lets plays around the time i graduated from high school and this makes me crazy nostalgic for two years ago lmao
Well, I liked it, perhaps mainly for that it gets a small part of the text right that a lot others misses, namely that the word first in each line of the chorus actually belong to the verses just before, in the end: one verse is often interpreted as "if only I could die anywhere else", but in the game, that verse is clearly shown as "only I could die anywhere else - so".
This is my personal favorite cover of the song, since it has that authentic Garage Pop Rock sound, especially with the production style. Sounds like it was recorded on an old computer or cassette tape. Good shit overall.
This game manages to perfectly capture the bizarre mix of emotions that come with moving back to your home town. It's one of the few games where i truly felt an emotional connection to the characters. Thanks for doing this song justice.
its been like 4 years or smth and this still slaps. most ....faithful vibes to the game's vers, imo. thank you for your marvellous work. i especially love the build up at the start as all the parts trickle in, and how the first verse is mostly just vocals and bass to show off that fantastic bassline. wonderful orchestration!!
Vocals are indeed on point, the sentences are in several others' versions sung together, but the game clearly shows them cut up, like you do "only I could die anywhere else - so" while too many goes "if only I could die anywhere else"..... However, I have yet to find a version where the text is *growled* , as it is "sung" by Angus, and it is noted that Angus *growls.* ^_^
I finally got around to playing this game after wanting to do so desperately for so long. Somehow, despite having only partly-watched let's plays years ago, the game makes me feel nostalgic for experiences I've never even had before. The game is just so touching and moving, it's a shame that Alec couldn't be around now to see everyone's appreciation for his work. Awesome job on this man, everything about this is just awesome.
I played this game a week ago, I was really late lol, but this game moved me hard. Love this game and this song is exactly how I imagined this with vocals. You did a phenomenal job! Hopefully we get a sequel to this game.
Love this song. A perfect rendition of the song in the game that captures the nostalgic (and sad) lyrics perfectly. Makes fall last all year long for me. I know you made this 4 years ago, but did you have any inspiration from other artists on this song? I would love to listen to more music that has this same vibe to it.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I didn't know about them when I made the cover, but Alvvays has a similarly melancholy vibe to a lot of their songs. Give Next of Kin and Plimsoll Punks a listen if you're interested.
Thank you for this cover ! This is almost exactly how I imagined the song with a singer... I was a little bit disappointed to find only female singers singing this way too "seriously" on you tube... and that (for me) didn't fit with the not so serious music contrasting with the serious meaning
i really like this cover,in the top two of all the ones i've heard(and i've heard many of them)so i think its really cool,its calming,but also a catchy pop/rock cover,i really enjoyed your cover of this song!i hope you can make the others just like this one sorta,but again,i love this cover,its catchy af! thanks for making the cover,again,i love this cover,i can't express it enough how much i liked this cover,heh
toastwaffle why arent u making any new vid? Ive had the notification bells on for 2 years! Plz make new music cover vid plz they’re very good! I love ‘em!
This is my favourite cover I've heard of this song so far. Really like the part from 2:28 and outwards, have heard a lot of other covers, but this hits close to home (for me)
best cover, a must-listen for me at least weekly, if you're ever feeling inspired to do more covers would be so cool to see a weird autumn or pumpkinhead guy cover
I played this game on my Switch and the button prompts messed with my head cause I kept pressing X instead of Y and B instead of A cause I'm used to Xbox controllers :/
I know it's been years since you released this, but is there any chance you'll upload it to Spotify?? I would LOVE that. This is by far the best cover I've heart of this song. Outstanding job.
this is my favourite cover of this song!! i love how you filled in the other instruments and your vocals are very chill, but it still has that bop to it.
I really like this take on the song, it's super chill but still upbeat. It's a really original and fun cover of this great song. No hate to other covers btw. Good job!
This is definitely the best cover of this song I've found on youtube!! I was wondering if it was alright if I use it in a project I'm planning? with credit of course!
Anyone else got cups on their ears?
AAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! I DOOOOO!!!!
AWOOOOOOOOOO
I was thinking about the ocean!
Yeeeees
it sounds like ocean in here!
6 years later and i still come back to this, it's one of my favorite covers for this song honestly
This is my favorite song from the game, mostly because it fucks me up really hard.
Spoilers? Spoilers.

This is a song that pretty much says that they are stuck in this town and wish they could leave, I may be just messing with myself when i think this but I think that Casey wrote this song, and in the end he wasn't able to actually leave even though he wanted to.
Aw man :(
man I never thought of that
thx for sharing your thoughts
MrLordWaffles 😭 I'm not crying, you're crying!
This has been my headcanon since my second playthrough. It fits too well, and it makes the song hit you even harder in the feels.
That would be a great detail tbh
The lyrics are haunting when I think Casey might have wrote them....
I love that about this song!
it's worth mentioning that Scott Benson answered that on his Curious Cat page bc someone asked the same thing and he said "nah casey wasn't a writer." It does make you wonder which of the group did though! My bet is Gregg and Mae wrote it together, they seem the type.
@@jamieeverett5313 My bet is it was Bea, she states in the game multiple times that she has always wanted to leave the place and go to college (the reason she doesn't like Mae at the start).
Sadly I’m pretty sure it’s canon Casey DID write it

I love how simultaneously chill and up beat this is! I love the effects you used on the vocals! :D
Hey it you with gatopaint :D
Thank you! :D
I remember you from somewhere…Kennyoung the raccoon maybe? I saw you in the comments.
Why would someone dislike this?
11 people are rich old cultists.
I have no idea.

hi mae
I’d think this is how casey sounded like. This is definitely the best cover I’ve heard of this song.
I know it’s been years but man I would kill to have this on Spotify
S a m e, everyday I wish this was on spotify
i have never actually played the game but i watched a few lets plays around the time i graduated from high school and this makes me crazy nostalgic for two years ago lmao
This song has been on my mind nonstop since 2020
Bro it's on my mind since 2017
This is probably the best cover I've seen, shame it doesn't have more views.
Well, I liked it, perhaps mainly for that it gets a small part of the text right that a lot others misses, namely that the word first in each line of the chorus actually belong to the verses just before, in the end: one verse is often interpreted as "if only I could die anywhere else", but in the game, that verse is clearly shown as "only I could die anywhere else - so".

Good cover, but I'm concerned for Mae's face tbh
Nicageris same
same tbh
mae's is the only one messed up too
Mr. Nicc I was thinking the same thing
NIGHTMARE EYES
Currently playing through the game for the first time as of writing this, love both the game and this song cover.

bass guitar and vocals are on point as usual! Good job!
I do my best!
Vocals are indeed on point, the sentences are in several others' versions sung together, but the game clearly shows them cut up, like you do "only I could die anywhere else - so" while too many goes "if only I could die anywhere else".....

Woah, these vocals are really neat! Not what I was expecting, but they sound so pleasant and nice to listen to.
It sounds like a memory I can't remember or forget

i don’t think there’s words to describe how good this is. the sound, clean. the vibes, immaculate.
This is the ONLY cover of this song that I've found so far on youtube that I don't hate. I actually like it pretty well. Awesome job.
ssoo gooooodd
thankssss~~~~
I played this game a week ago, I was really late lol, but this game moved me hard. Love this game and this song is exactly how I imagined this with vocals. You did a phenomenal job! Hopefully we get a sequel to this game.
I just want to listen to it forever.
I'd be happy to die just about anywhere tbh

@@Fasdaff01 awesome, thanks!
I really wish this was on Spotify! It's so unbelievably better than any other cover I've heard.
the megaphone eff on the voice is spot on with the vibe of the song

@@toastwaffle props to you for replying to recent comments on old videos! Love your music :D
i discovered night in the woods recently and i'm angry i didn't discover this game before.
This made me have a small existential breakdown and now I feel like I’m about to die of old age and be forgotten even though I’m nineteen.
10/10
Still love this. Still listening.
Thank you for this cover !
This is almost exactly how I imagined the song with a singer... I was a little bit disappointed to find only female singers singing this way too "seriously" on you tube... and that (for me) didn't fit with the not so serious music contrasting with the serious meaning

And this creator still leaves likes on the recent comments. what a legend! what a wonderful human being!
Definitely the best cover of this yet! Great work! :D
This song made me cry from sadness and happiness and sadness at the same time 😢😊
this is my favorite song right now. great job with it :D
toastwaffle why arent u making any new vid?
Ive had the notification bells on for 2 years!
Plz make new music cover vid plz they’re very good! I love ‘em!
Only 111k views? This Cover is one of the best ones I've listened to! The effects of the vocals are purely amazing.
2:29 don't mind me, just a personal time-spam
This is my favourite cover I've heard of this song so far. Really like the part from 2:28 and outwards, have heard a lot of other covers, but this hits close to home (for me)
Still haven't found anyone performing it as it should be.
How?
Angus is the singer, and he GROWLS !!!!
i remember 2 years ago when by this cover i started playing NITW Omgg thanks you toastwaffle :D
I keep coming back to this, I need it on some app, because it's great
Came from Mandopony's. Think this one is more accurate. Strong melody is important
this is the only song i listen to at the moment. it feels so nostalgic!!! i love it!! the best cover of this song for sure
I love it so much! I cant stop humming this song, its so catchy. And I absolutely love how you sang it, your voice is amazing :D
Thanks! :D
Ive been trying to find a cover that sings it in the same way i do and i cant believe i found it
PLEASE I NEED THIS IN SPOTIFY
best cover, a must-listen for me at least weekly, if you're ever feeling inspired to do more covers would be so cool to see a weird autumn or pumpkinhead guy cover
I really cover more this is just so EFFIN' good. I would legit by an cover album of this
I played this game with an xbox controller and this was the only song i was able to pass.
I did alright with the 360 controller... until Pumpkin Head of course :I
Same. I have the PS4 version of the game, but maybe I can still try to use a keyboard...I'll have to check into that
Guess what I used! Keyboard!
I didn't pass any single one tho...
I played this game on my Switch and the button prompts messed with my head cause I kept pressing X instead of Y and B instead of A cause I'm used to Xbox controllers :/
Used Switch, did great on Die Anywhere Else, okay on Weird Autumn, absolutely terrible on Pumpkin Head Guy.
What a coincidence, i was just playing this yesterday, though i wasn't too into it.
Maybe i should give it a second chance.
dainxjac relax, we all have different likes and dislikes
Seriously, the game gets better in Part 2 onwards.
dainxjac it starts slow but it gets good
I Love this
Every other cover that I saw felt like a cover of a video game song. This feels very natural. I love this cover so much! Keep it up!
I dont think this'll ever get old... at least not while I walk the earth.
I wish this was on spotify its so good I always come back to listen to it
best cover. best cover. best cover. omfg best cover ever for this song yes thanks.
✨U N D E R R A T E D✨
The fact Casey wrote this makes it so much sadder
Wait he did?!😨
Best version of this song. I love the pulse-width modulation you got going on the synth in the background.
I always keep on coming back to this song. There are just so many good covers of it, and this is one of the best!
Your voice so so awesome never stop singing
dude idk how but we created names pretty close to each other :o great cover btw :D
You will hear from my lawyers :D
but but whhy D: i'm just a simple person that thought of a really weird name in high school. lol
Hmmm okay then! I'll allow it.
yaaaaaay :D keep up the good work, also this game is one of my all time favs.
Wow I just bought this game today. Good timing

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!
Well shit, this is catchy.
this is my favourite cover of this song!! i love how you filled in the other instruments and your vocals are very chill, but it still has that bop to it.
This is definitely one of the best covers I've heard for this song. Possibly my favourite! Great work. :)
