Thank you Elana for joining me for this! Follow her at www.instagram.com/elanotron/
I'm going through the top 20 Favorite Video Game Songs of all time as voted on by my community. This came in at number 17!
Some of you guys will remember that I've done this one before actually! I did a really fun heavy metal arrangement of this song with the amazing Caleb Hyles about 5 years ago. When I saw this come up on the list I thought it'd be really fun to try and make an arrangement that was more true to the original, with a few flairs nodding to the original arrangement. Hope you can hear them!
Elana is a new face on the channel, we met back in college and she's been a frequent guest on my livestreams where I'm speedrunning Pokémon Red. Elana was a jazz vocalist while I was studying Classical Guitar so this was a really cool blast from the past for both of us. Fun fact, Elana was in the room just off camera for the male chorus recording for the Elder Scrolls Medley from back in 2012! It was really fun to get her on this as she's never recorded her voice or been filmed like this in her life! I think she did an incredible job for her first time and I hope you agree!
The next song on this list is yet another one I've done before and it's one of my most successful videos on the channel, but I actually have no idea how I'm going to do it at the moment. Stick around to find out next week!

I finally played NieR Replicant and Automata this past summer (started with one, played a bunch of stuff in between, ended with the other) and they are not overhyped in any way, they’re absolutely both must-plays for everyone with any level of video game “literacy.” This is an awesome cover of an incredible song. I really love it when you do acoustic stuff, I think that “Good Riddance” from Hades is also one of my personal favorites that you’ve done. :D
-
I love the og song so much I almost started crying in the first 20 seconds. Thank you so much for making this cover.
-
I played NieR: Automata twice, and the second time was during a break-up. The songs took on a different meaning, especially this one. Today, I only have good memories about the OST and the entire game. Thank you!
-
Crazy to read in the description that this is Elana's first performance on camera. She's such a natural performer. Great cover and great singing from Elana.
-
I'll never get sick of hearing covers of this song. Elana did a great job! I hope she's open to more songs in the future, either working with you or just doing her own recordings and videos.
-
Hard to think that this is starting to be a 'blast from the past' song.
-
As a Nierd, this is Nier perfection.
-
YESSSSS 👏 I actually never thought about a cover you've already done. Wasn't expecting this but as soon as I saw the title, I was so excited. Amazing job and welcome Alana to the channel 👍
-
This song moves me to tears every time.
-
This was such a beautiful cover!! 🤩 You all did amazingly! 👏🏼
-
It warms my heart to see you both performing together, this came out great! You guys got me nostalgic and sappy about college days now 🥹
-
The 101 min long vid brought me here, ❤ this might be the most comforting song ever....Elana we want more of you!
-
Great job to you and Elana! Funnily enough, because of the cover you did with Caleb, my brain always expect the tone to switch to heavy metal.
-
you should do the larry boy song from the old cartoon
-
i always love the acoustic guitar sounds on this this song, so i was already liked it. i liked how more instruments came into play and when 3:47 happened i was completely blown away! Elana sounded so amazing, this is now on my top favorite version Weight of the World!
-
A beautiful rendition of a timeless song. Great job!
-
6 years later and this song still hits those feels just as hard
-
Such an emotionally powerful song, and you both killed it, nice!
