I do agree that the most replayed at 0:00 is where the song starts to get really good.
The good part starts at 0:00 and ends at 5:05

Holy crap, the moment phase 2 hit I got chills
This was absolutely phenomenal
When phase 2 drop I always have chill going down my spine no matter how this song is covered because of how invested in the game I am and because I understand how significant this phase shift is.

Such a beautiful song. Who said games weren't art.

Delusional fools that's who!
@@zebaguettefromfrance1287 it could also be they haven't progressed in life down the path, that lets them enjoy such beauty's. I like to understand how people think sometimes. I'd like to think there not fools but rather Foreigners to the concepts.
The most emotionally charged piece in the soundtrack brought to life so beautifully. Gonna go cry, now. Well done.
Yeah, Christopher Larkin is an absolute genius. You don’t even have to say the game to feel the power of this song.
yes aaaaaaa 😭😭
Fair assessment
No, Everyone know that it’s resting grounds
and not to mention the lore- the hollow knight being possessed and controlled by the radiance so that they have to fight his brethren so after being staggered enough he comes to his senses and starts stabbing himself so that he is weaker and weaker until hornet can pin him down
You can almost make out the story just through the music itself. This theme is truly a masterpiece.
Yeah. Larkin's use of motif throughout the soundtrack tells of the many bugs and of their stories through the music itself. Something I'd consider worthy of a "masterpiece" descriptor
A game music designer listened to this piece with no knowledge og the game and just made out a bunch of the story haha

I just started playing hollow knight again for the third time and literally yesterday I thought the same thing!
Damn... I'll be honest, I've never even played the game. I felt this track on several different emotional octaves.
You gotta play it. Seriously!
Final boss music!
@@SheetMusicBoss u finally made it!!!!!
play it. it's wprth it 10 times over
@@micahwest3566 well uhh... the radiance exists.
This is my favorite hollow knight piece, this is arranged so well
this is my 2nd favorite to 1st place which is pure vessel theme
Thats my fav. This song described hollow knight better than any Lore tablet, trough melody.
My favorite is Mantis Lords.
imo mantis lords better, but this is second best
My favourite is this,Mantis Lords and the song that plays when you open the game in that order
Beautiful. I was gonna cry, but then i remembered that i have No Voice to Cry Suffering.

You guys done a steel soul run, yet?
Amazing how Larkin can change the mood from tension to tragedy by just getting rid of the sticado and a tempo change. Amazing piece
This whole boss fight was so emotional and was composed incredibly well. I almost cried when I fought the sealed vessel for the first time. It was heartbreaking.
Most emotionally loaded boss I’ve fought to this day
I wish I could just jump into the TV and heal the sea vessel...
Oh my god, they really layered the White Lady's theme over the Hollow Knight theme at 4:18. How did I not notice that before? I'm getting all the goosebumps rn.
I would moreso argue its the Pale Kings theme, as it plays in his palace, as well as when you sit on his throne. It was then repurposed into both the White Lady's theme as well as Hornets theme (yeah, I had no idea, but I watched a music breakdown and as it turns out, Hornets theme is built from the White Lady/White palace music), in order to show their connection to him.
@@chromewizard6421 8-Bit Music Theory?
@@commandermime38 yup!
@@chromewizard6421 oops I was gonna say basicly this, minus the music breakdown part- also I'd say that the main theme, though I'm pretty sure it's called 'hollow knight' in the games music file, probably represents the vessels as a whole more than that specific vessel, at least that's what I personaly think.
@@dragonfangs580 I agree about the vessel thing! It would make sense, considering the theme is also repurposed for both Sealed Vessel and Broken Vessel, and it is also used in the Dream No More cutscene while the shades are shown on screen.
The hollow knight is one of the saddest gaming characters I think. He had dream nail dialogue before it got cut, that said “Do not think. Do not feel.” Which is just so sad. He knew he wasn’t perfect but still tried everything he could to be hollow. And then when he is corrupted, he fights with every last ounce of strength to end himself, stabbing his stomach repeatedly. Sad bro
That's Pure Vessel. In the original it's lineswere mostly from Radiance, but it did have one of it's own.
Father?
I was listening to this soundtrack today and thought to myself, “man I kinda want to learn sealed vessel on piano.” And then you drop this bomb.

I- you know what? I can't even comprehend how good this is. Literally my second favorite hollow knight song and it's so amazing, I've got to learn at least the melody and memorize it on the piano.
Also Suggestion that I think would be cool. Universal Collapse by DM Dokuro.
What's your first favorite and why is it City of Tears? JK honestly every peice in this game is incredible

@@BenjaminAnderson21 Ngl Soul Sanctum is pretty fire too
I have almost almost finished learning this piece at 80% the speed on the video. I would recommend that you learn fisrt the hard part till 1:30 and then the rest is easy😁
This song is by far my favorite track in Hollow Knight. Perhaps even my favorite video game song, period. And that’s saying something, I listen to a lot of game OSTs. Nothing else boasts the emotional weight and force of every note, like a struggle against an impossible battle that you can’t walk away from alive, yet you know you have to keep fighting. Such an epic juxtaposition to THE Hollow Knight, a being meant to be entirely devoid of emotion. The song alone is enough to tell you they never stood a chance against the Radiance, it could command fear and suffering from an inanimate object. This is the theme of the Radiance, the Infection, a being nothing could ever truly stop.
Until you.
Wouldn’t the theme for the radiance be radiances theme? That one commands more power then this one.
@@summeracount9986 I think the difference is that when you’re fighting the radiance, sure it’s difficult and the boss is tough, but there’s still hope. As long as you can access the Dream realm, you’ve pretty much already won. When you’re fighting the hollow knight, it feels far more hopeless, even when the boss joins in with you and stabs themself it’s clear there’s another force neither of you can handle at the moment. I think just sticking with calling it the theme of the infection does make more sense though.
I love how this music portrays the emotions throughout the fight and tells the story. The intense feelings of the start of the fight when the player has to fight the Hollow Knight, and the transition into the sad and cold sounding chords of the second phase that speak the story of the Hollow Knight’s past, and that the Hollow Knight isn’t really the big bad final boss, but what lies inside him is what truly has caused the plague.
Best piano song ever. This is my words
Great to see actual comments instead of “day X waiting for Y”
Amazing arrangement btw love it!
You're saving a land that has suffered too much, but you have to defeat a monster, or rather a sibling, that's felt just as much pain. And this is what you hear. Beautiful.
No voice to cry suffering, no mind to think, but a beautiful track to express these emotions.
Insane how many different themes are tied together here, and how they all lead into and out of each other.
A true musical piece to cap of the whole game, calling back so many moments through their respective motives.
I actually play The Hollow Knight without sound and just music. The boss at least. And to hear the piano version is absolutely magical.
@HellHeater Because the soundtrack is awesome. And the sound effects get kind of boring after playing the boss a hundred times.
@@Callster you do you but I feel the game is too empty without sound effects, like it feels more natural with them even if the get boring it's just sound effects
@@misterlion4700 Well I obviously turn them back on. It’s just for the some of the boss battles I turn them off.
I like the sound effects for that fight just because of when he stabs himself
This is by far one of my favorite songs especially on a piano. This is amazing, when I first heard this song it hit me when I heard it and one of the most beautiful songs ever created.
What a coincidence, I'm battling THK JUST now! Masterfully made as always

Jeez... I've been waiting for this for... Frankly a long time. Rarely do I get chocked up with emotion but Hollow Knight is one of the few game that truly got me *invested* and *captivated* and *awed.* I wish I could go back to the day I discovered it so that I could play it for the first time all over again. This masterpiece crafted with all the love and attention only indie developers can truly give. This game had a *soul* and a *heart* that few games ever had.
This somber melody harbinger of fatality the culmination of a lie centuries old. This tune makes my heart shiver and my soul sing. Jeez I sound so sappy right now but hey what can I say about a game that deserves all the love I am showering it with. Video games have truly managed to connect with those musical strings on my soul and I wouldn't have it any other way!
I love all the Hollow Knight videos recently, for the next one it would be cool for you to do the Radiance boss theme. I think that would work really well on the piano
They already have.
@@salomaogomes7311 you're right I just remembered it was 2 years ago 😂
This is the moment I've been waiting for. THANK YOU SMB
This was really well done, good job! Hollow knight is one of my favourite games out there, and this is probably one of my favourite pieces, next to Hive Knight and Nightmare King.
Truth, beauty and hatred
thank you so, SO MUCH SMB! this is definitely my favourite song out of the entire game, thank you for arranging this.
0:02 Fight starts (moment of the first scream)
1:15 The Hollow Knight stabbing himself for the first time
1:33 Beginning of the second phase
3:52 End of the fight / Beginning of the end cut scene (The Hollow Knight / Sealed Siblings - Ending)
When the hollow knight starts stabbing itself the Phase 2 music starts playing, not 1:15
Isn’t it also used for the Dream No More ending?
@@joeyshadeslayer9792 3:52 is only for this ending
3:23 is for The Hollow Knight and Sealed Sibling endings
Imagine not challenging the Radiance
@@SearaChar
Imagine, well imagine you shall because I did that cause we just wanted to complete the game got like 102% and *THEN* went back to it cause we want 112% (rn got 104%)
Trying to beat Radi is pain
I love this piece
I can still hear the ear piercing scream
sorry I stubbed my toe on a lego :(
God bless you!
Really great arrangement of the one of the most emotional pieces from Hollow knight.
Absolutely amazing arrangement, I’ve spent months learning and practicing it and just yesterday I performed it at my school student showcase and I nailed it, filled the whole room with the melodies of tragedy.
I audibly gasped when I saw this in my recommended. Been waiting ages for this to drop!
I've played a different arragement of Sealed Vessel on my channe, and in comparison your arrangement sounds much more energetic and grand in the first phase, and the second phase and ending are really cleanly arranged!
Fantastic job as always SMB.
YESSS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSS
i can't belive It! i started playing Hollow Knight last week and you are making the piano version of the soundtracks!
My friend played this piece at a concert and the whole crowd reacted to how emotionally beautiful this piece was and I could only think that if the crowd reacted like that without knowing the story of the game then what would would it be like if they did. This piece is a mix of hope, tragedy and remorse and one of the most beautiful things I've heard in a long time.
I've been waiting for this for so long.
Since I've played HK for the 1st time, end of 2020.
And finally we got it 👏👏👏👏
Words cannot express how much I love this game and this soundtrack. Beautiful cover
. . . Are we seriously not going to talk about how his hands are showing while he plays?
I love these videos, not just to listen to the music, but also they seem like excellent tools to try to learn piano. I love imagining what it would be like to play this myself, and while I am familiar with the guitar hero concept, that doesn't mean I've ever been any good at it. I sometimes mime piano keys while I watch or listen to this channel, and THIS video not only showed that I was ridiculously wrong, but what the actual positions of the hand are, which fingers are hitting which keys, the traveling of the hand, even motions for rapid notes, IN ADDITION to the video showing which keys to hit in the first place! THIS is the brain hack to get someone to play piano, it'll still take lots of practice to learn those movements and the coordination to pull it off, but it literally has the correct movements on screen to pause, slow down, rewind, whatever to help you out. My eyes were glued to his hands the entire video. I love your channel and wish you all the success in the world, and would deeply appreciate adopting this style going forward. Many thanks friend.
tl;dr: showing the hands in the video is good.
i practiced 0:47 and it was easily my hardest song. i have no idea how they make it look so easy but playing the song feels absolutely amazing, like you have some way to connect to the games story more.would reccomend, 12/10
The hands are fake you can see them clip through the keys at some parts
these are the kinds of things that make me want to learn piano, just to play this for people, love your content keep being neat and cool and stuff
man i love hollowknight so much. i can hear the slashes and cries during the fight of this piece, and in others like greenpath and fungal wastes i can hear the little critters scuttling about and the mushrooms spurting out gases. the game leaves such a lasting impression that i dont think i could ever enjoy a first time expierence of exploring a world such as hallownest the same way again
I've listened so many times to this ost: you can feel eerieness and desparation from the melody
Of course I listened repeatedly this ost for fun... not cuz I failed against Radiance for 1hr straight...
Yes I also did listen to it a lot, for both of the reasons you just mentioned...
Only an hour?
Nah Both Radiance are easy the hard part is getting to them
@@tono_lagos8765 nahh bro, I can consistently beat p5 till radiance, I always fail on radiance.
@@Kjolinio for me is the other way around especially against markoth, but Radiance doesn’t change that much from the first encounter wich I replayed a lot
I've been slowly buying more of your hollow knight piano songs. I'm so excited to learn them. Right now I have white palace and sealed vessel :))) I think I'm getting soul sanctum next 😁
Thx bro, wanted this song and one of my favourites
I’m planning on covering this at some point. Probably the best arrangement I heard on UA-cam yet
This song gave such a different feeling compared to the broken vessel, broken vessel is sad and also gave a feeling that it is already close to breaking, while the sealed vessel gave a feeling that although controlled by radiance, it still had the power to defeat anyone in its path, and was still trying to control his power. Great job!
A lot of the emotion this piece has is the result of the climax of the music be at the start, and building down from there. It’s the opposite of most pieces, but it exemplifies the sense of sorrow, regret, loss, and failure of a hopeless fight still fought. At the end, all of the intensity is gone, but the sorrowful chords are gone too, leaving you with a feeling of emptiness. The battle is won, the evil is defeated, but the intensity and what was fought for was lost.
That's it, i'm celebrating now
Damn, this sounds really good!! Congratulations!
Wow that has to be the best Hollow Knight cover so far!
Kinda fitting since it's the best theme of the game
Love this! thank you SMB
Wow that was beautiful! well done!
this song will never stop making me so emotional. it's like you can hear the hollow knight's pain and sadness just by listening to it
i have seen so many speedruns of this game that i forgot how much emotion is in it. This was enough to remind me of that
Insane. Great Job. Such a good Song
YEEES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, THANK YOU SMB! ❤️
This was amazing!! You are awesome!!
Probably my favorite game music of all time. Sets the mood perfectly
Fkn masterpiece, man awesome job this made my day
Yeees ive waited so long for this
Cool my favorite hollow knight soundtrack, love it, great❤
This is amazing!!
I like how you went hams with the beginning and than its playable from 1:33
Also loving it, keep up the good work
incredible skill in your fingers whoever plays the piano and keyboard someday I'll get there
The people who requested this every video: *No cost too great.*
But seriously, thanks for doing this piece. It’s one of my favorites.
No mind to think
This is the moment I've been waiting for!
I need to buy all the Hollow Knight music and learn it all. This channel is doing glorious work
YES!!!! YOU FINALLY ANSWERED MY REQUEST!!!
wow.... the original theme of the game was already great, but listen it all in piano was just.... incredible, specially when changes to every phase of the song.... just so beautiful
THE CHILLS ARE IMMACULATE
I don't think that there can be a boss theme better than this honestly this is too unique, medieval, and epic.
The moment we've been waiting for!
no voice to compliment how beautiful this music is-
This song is just indescribably dramatic and emotional, my favourite track from a rich world shrouded in mystery
I have played hollow knight and i loved it and listing to this brings me back so many memories 😢😢❤❤
love the hands
What we've all been waiting for, godlike as always
The intro to this song where it sound like a boss and not like pure sadnes is amazing
This was beautiful, brought a tear to my eye and reminded me of the tragic story of the game
This has been said to death but. Love how you articulated the fight and the tragedy. It really emphasis hollownest's tradgedy. And the hollow knight itself. Truely sad
I find these videos a lot more entertaining when I can actually see a person playing it instead of just the notes scrolling down.
This is one of my favorite sound tracks in the game
YO LFG I LOVE THIS PIECE
This is so tense!
This is epic, just like the rest of your work. Though I do sadly believe I've heard slightly better. Keep remixin hollow knight though my guy, it's the reason i subscribed
Just the best boss music fromm all games
Thank you guys for such an amazing arrangment
All I can think about when I listen to that is all the rage, the sadness, the pain and the despair THK is going through. Everything they have learned... All the efforts... Fell for nothing for they were not perfectly hollow. I feel for this guy. Wish they could've had a better life...
I use your piano tuto for my violin. Thank you :3
1:33 best part, change my mind
Its the music that bring this game to life
Cant wait to see you do Nightmare King Grimm
Such a beautiful song! Team cheery is awesome.
YASSSS!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!
Very amazing
