    Getting emotional over the GTA SA theme is something I never expected to unironically experience.
    When you pulled the orchestra at 1:30, I remembered all the times I failed to follow that damn train, all the struggles with the cursed RC plane, all the goofing around with those modded PS2 versions, the multiple attempts to find the Big Foot and all the laughs I shared with my friends when we first discovered the fun of violent videogames.
    Absolutely awesome cover, thank you for your work.

Playing the game when you're a grown adult actually feels like experiencing it again for the first time. At least when it comes to the cut scenes and the story.

    One thing I love about this cover is how it extended the String Section from GTA SA's theme which is my favorite part of the song and also the most underrated part which nobody ever talks about, and it was only played like once in the original and I wish it was longer, I'm glad this cover exists and made that wish a reality. I love this guy so much, I never would expected a GTA Cover from a channel that's been covering Thomas and Friends, Undertale, Deltarune, and Donkey Kong. Hope you would make a series of covers of all of the GTA Themes in the future, preferably GTA IV's Soviet Connection next as well as the Team Fortress 2 soundtracks which would be perfect for your style of covers. Looking forward to it. You really do deserve more recognition, and I'll stick by that statement till the end.

Watching all you work for pulled out from under you by the very guys who called you family all the while being manipulated into doing shit you didn't want to in the first place. A tragedy.

Within the first few seconds I can immediately tell why the algorithm decided to bless me with this. It is because you hold in your hands one of the instruments of legend. The bass to rule all basses: the Rickenbacker 4001. Not only that, but it is in the immaculate jetglo finish. I am now completely distracted from All other aspects of the composition.

    Now imagine you’re in high school with all this talent and a loop system. You bring all the instruments on stage for the talent show and have the song well mapped in your minds eye, so you start playing the instruments one by one while trying to disguise what you’re playing and slowly one by one the spectators realize what you’re playing and the hype builds and nearly reaches its peak when you finally lay the bass line. Then they see you pull out what is unknown to them but it’s the stylophone and they erupt in satisfaction

But please dont stop making undertale and deltarune themes, theyre the favourites of alot of people. Cant wait for the next themes!

    The strings and horns swelling at 3:21 are what hit me hard. All those memories I had at high school playing San Andreas had flooded in so violently I felt I am definitely missing the good old days where all I had to worry was homework and the excitement for the weekend to come in!
    I am sooooo looking forward to having you do Grand Theft Auto 4 next! But now that I found this channel, I'm subbing and binging your other covers too! Amazing, my dude! Cheers and more power!
