Thank you Elana for joining me for this! Follow her at / 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!

"Do you think video games are silly little things?"
Yes
*>No*
I do quite the sillyness of the games, it's what makes the impact hit harder
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 like the way you use the word "literacy" for games like this; it really means you need to see video games in another level of understanding, more than just having a joystick and play, they must be another kind of experience to witness that can move your feelings.
@@tenshi-sensei Every game can be broken down to 'push buttons 10,000 times to win', what changes from game to game is what those button presses do, and how much enjoyment you'll get from doing it.
Both Nier games elevated the 'game' to practically an 'art', making you emotionally invested in what happens, and since you're in control of it, it's a different feeling than a movie would offer.
Games are not their own 'art' though, they literally borrow pieces from other arts : graphics, music, and screenplay/camera work among others. But games like these are masterpieces of putting these together in the perfect way. Nier is not the first nor the last game to manage to hit that bar, Metal Gear Solid did it pretty specularly back on PS1, given the limits of the system.
@@FranckKnight I personally love games that explore the area of games that inspire different feelings and emotions than just "fun". I really appreciate how Nier isn't afraid to give you some commonly thought negative experiences that are usually avoided like the plague in games, or used to detract points from a score as they don't inspire "fun" or or frustrating so therefor shouldn't be in a game.
I don't think the ending would hit anywhere near as hard if the game was trying to avoid you feeling frustrated.
@@FranckKnight (Maybe little spoilers) So you know the boot up sequence in Nier Automata? Whatever you do in Route A is actually recorded and you have to sit through it in Route B. I sat through the experience of my past self being an ass to my current self. No movie can match that for sure
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.
I'm so glad Nier Automata got this popular and we can all reminisce like this.
I bought Automata back in 2017 when I bought my PS4 but just finally got around to playing it I think in 2020 or 2021. I should have played it sooner tbh because it's such a great game.
@@BradleyDS90 Just knowing there's a other human right now thinking about this game and it's OSTs feels nice for some reason
yup i remember when the trailer came out, i was damn excited, since i played the first Nier. Everyone else i knew had no idea what Nier was about.. Lets just say after the demo, that all changed xD
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!
THANK YOU FOR THE NOSTALGIA, IM NEW HERE AND IM GLAD I FOUND UR CHANNEL
Such a nice suprise. Love this song
This is a beautiful cover i love it so much❤ welcome to the channel Elana your voice is as beautiful as you are i liked the cover with Caleb but this version speaks to my heart thanks for the giod cry jules
this song is really suitible to our broken world and times.
2b and 9s steel keep fighting even they can't see any hope.
that is what we are doing right now.❤
People say that in Persona 5's "Days When Mother Was There", the guitar solo sounds like the music crying. When the solo started in this, I got the exact same feeling. It sounded like the guitar was crying out
oh thank god, I was getting worried you were going to add in a huge chorus of people and I'd just start ugly crying. This is still beautiful, thankfully.
Everything that lives is designed to end. They are perpetually trapped in a never-ending spiral of life and death.
However...life is all about the struggle within this cycle. That is what "we" believe.
Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? You did such a beautiful job Elana!
When I looked at the title I had a feeling I would be crying listening to this. God, what a powerful cover
Yesssss love this song so much❤
Amazing cover! The melody was great, and Elana sang it so beautifully! I hope to hear more in the future!
OH HELL YEAH THIS IS SO GOSH DARN RAD EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS VIDEO SHOULD FEEL SO GOSH DANG DARN PROUD AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
One of my favorite games of the last decade. The beautiful music is one of the many reasons. Thanks for the cover.
I remember listening to Replay (2014) when it was released, this just brings me back so good memories. 🦋
I read the title and squeed out loud
You’re not alone!!!
🐙
For this being the first time her voice has been recorded. IMO you could swap the vocalist in the original song with Elana and it'd still hit the same, very well done
Well which version as there's four versions.
An English with J'Nique Nicole. The French version Emi Evans, the original singer and writer of the song. Then theres the one with Marina Kawano in Japanese. Then there's one with all three of them together.
this song fills me with an immense melancholy, great job!
This was so lovely to listen to! Thank you so much for making this 😊
Absolutely love this
I liked the version with Caleb, but I love this cover so much! Elana breathed into it really well. ❤
Beautiful retake of the Weight of the World
Beautiful. Such a melodious cover.
Beautiful, amazing, thank you
I only started learning how to play guitar a month ago & I'm documenting my journey on here but I'm looking forward to the day when I can play this well!
Well done! Cheers from STE!
Been a fan of your covers since you basically started the channel and this one was awesome too. This song is always such a slap in the feels and this cover certainly did, nice job, you and Elana both.
FamilyJules is probably my favourite Cover artist, its just feels unique and so pure. i love your videos
Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! I haven't played NeiR yet, I know I need to, but I've really fallen in love with the soundtrack from covers on UA-cam. And this is one of the best. Thank you so much!
Absolutely touching
Beautifully done!
Really enjoyed this!
hell yeah, love this song. i'll be listening to this on repeat for a while
I've never actually heard the lyrics version, just the instrumental one from FFXIV's Nier crossover raids. I clicked through expecting an instrumental guitar only and now I'm blown away.
Awesome job guys!
Ah yes... You both killed it
Played Automata for the first time past year, one of the best gaming experiences I ever had.
Awesome!
Another awesome cover!
I just learned of this song recently. Great job. ❤
so well done!
beautiful 😩
Nice. 🤙🏻
Fuck man, the end of yhora version of this song made me cry so fucking much in the moment, genuinly one of only 2 moments i have ever cried at a game, god i love this game
Damn Elana
Good job! The cover is amazing :D
great job! 👏
I love this song and I love this cover
one of the best ost in gaming history
awesome cover
Wonderful cover.
Omg this is soo cool
Very pretty rendition, great job. Also, nice shirt btw
es brutalmente hermoso!!!
YOU ARE AWESOME! ❤❤❤
Goosebump, my favorite game of all Time ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, wow, goddamn. Tell Elana that she has got some serious pipes, and she should have been recording her voice all this time already!
: 0
You both did great! Sending this to my Frenchman, he loves Nier.
Wonderfull ❤❤❤
Dope how it got covered twice
Love it 🥲👍
I just got home from work and had to poop, but I ended up listening to this whole song while holding my poop because it was so good.
Duuuuuuuuuuude! Yesssssssss!!!!
Good!
FINALLY!!! WE'VE COME FULL CIRCLE
People sleep on this game's OST and I will never understand why. An absolute masterpiece of a composition!
You're the best FJ!
I'm really not used to hearing this in English (Chaos language being my favourite), but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a great cover^^
Nice
This song came up in my release radar on Spotify, I knew I had heard it and kept thinking FF14, but the album art didn't show an FF14 character, then I finally remembered, it's 2B and I heard the song in the Nier Automota crossover raid series in FF14.
The moment when you zone into the music in copied factory and make your team wipe as the whm😅
Omfg YES!
Jules would you be up for the Neir Automata anime opening Escalate?
Yaaaas Nier, let's go
Neat that you got an old friend on the channel.
holy shit
I can't tell if the toms sound really similar to the kick or if they're just not used
What a voice
Here before this goes viral. May I post youtube link on Twitter and Reddit to help with exposure?
I can't find the top 20 list online, where is it? :D
