    how does this have so little views?? this is my favorite city of tears cover ive heard!! your playing is lovely and it sounds so gentle and nice compared to other covers where they, for lack of a better phrase, "go ham"

    I’m typically not the one to notice subtle things or read into things so much but the more I listen to this song the more I hear certain things like if you take each note by itself it almost sounds sad but with the cord changes and background sounds it gives this song a sense of hope

    City of tears track was the one that stuck out for me playing for the first time. Loved it so much.

    This is by far the best sounding and most playable arrangement of the city of tears theme I have been able to find. Really good stuff thank you!

    When he sat next to quirrel I got memories and sad at the same time, I haven’t even finished the game yet (I’m kind of a new player) and I already miss quirrel… quirrel best boy

    2:29 i know this was probably unintentional, but the fact that the vengeful spirit shot lined up with the lowest note in this part made this beautiful cover of city of tears about ten times more powerful
    i love this cover a lot, good work ✨

      It's been a while since I made this video, but it was probably intentional. I work pretty hard to make the game clips line up with the music. Thanks for noticing!

      you’re welcome!! i love small details like that, and plus, the music itself is amazing even without the visuals

    Thank you so much, this top down angle helps so much with getting the fingering. This piece is well outside my ability but I'm happily grinding away and brushing off my old music reading skills 😅

    BEST CITY OF YEARS COVER OH MY GOD.
    I love david's version so much okay, the detail of adding the main theme (symbolizing the fountain of yhe Hollow Knight in the City) is just. Amazing. I love how this was performed just as much oh my g o d.

  • @jahbariw5534
    @jahbariw5534 2 роки тому +3

    What an incredible performance. I always thought this piece would be so difficult to keep the melody separate from the supporting arpeggios but you hit it perfectly without missing a beat. I never even realized there was a motif from "Hollow Knight" in the middle of this piece, it's so much longer than I thought while playing the game

    • @kevinhurley23
