The best song in Stardew Valley?

- I absolutely LOVE the Stardew Valley soundtrack but one track in particular just hits the hardest ...
The Wind Can Be Still floored me the first time I heard it. At the end of the video I play my arrangement.

Dude I absolutely love the idea of putting everything in context and sharing the “why” behind the music before actually covering it. Super engaging and fun to watch, Sam. Totally love this video.
I came down here literally to say this. This was a treat, and I'm getting a little emotional, lol
Good luck with the Hollow Knight guitar project! Love your arrangements, I learned the Dirtmouth one myself
@@joekerins9772 Thanks, Joe! I love to hear that, man. You know, I’m only here because of dudes like Sam who’ve inspired and paved the way for other VGM guitarist in our niche.
@@AarekMG I hear ya, man. It’s always a great day when we get a new Sam video!
I agree. I play guitar serviceably but understand very little about the "construction" aspect of music. Watching guitar tubers took me from a 4 chord strummer to now I'm finger picking and writing my own music
"Let's rip some Stardew" is an incredible phrase
The story telling made the arrangement even more moving 😇
Man, I literally cried. I played Stardew Valley in 2016 (the year it was released), and I played it again during quarantine. I've always loved "The Wind Can Be Still" and hearing its cover took me back 7 years ago when things were simple in my life. Thank you.
The Wind Can Be Still is an absolute all timer. As some dude on UA-cam pointed out, though, it's the little major flip just for a moment at the end that makes it absolutely magical. That person was the most right any human has ever been,
I’m back home because a family death, and today it started snowing. I was lying in my bed watching this and when you started playing, tears just ran down my face. Thank you so much for this beautiful rendition, really hit me in the heart.
What an amazing cover. Stardew is one my favorite game of all time. No stress, only just living and take pleasure to live as fast as season goes.
Amazing
The addition of your story and feelings from the music is a nice primer. Great choice from the soundtrack, and beautifully done.
I just want to stop you right there to say that I completely agree
This is indeed the best song on the soundtrack and the chords at 10:11 are the best MOMENT on the entire soundtrack. Great arrangement
Fancy meeting you here.
Collab with Sam, thanks.
@@Fatone85 hey Person. I’m up for it
have thought the exact same thing, so glad to see other people loving that moment
@@Fatone85 @CRGuitar heck yes
lol indeed fancy meeting you here
Saw the title and immediately knew it was going to be The Wind Can Be Still ❤
I remember when i first heard The Wind Can Be Still too. Absolutely blew my mind... honestly that track and the first one in spring made me fall in love with the game even more. I guess im not the only one who was mesmerized by it too! Incredible cover!
This slightly longer format outlining the overall music of the game and your attachment to it is really good.
This video was a treat. I love these kinds of music analysis / essay videos. And wonderful performance at the end. Thank you Sam.
Hearing musicians talk about WHY they play something and what they feel when playing is. Thanks for sharing this, beautiful video and concept.
Especially when it's the SV OST. I listen to it while working my mum's horse meadows, now I love working there.
This video format clearly takes a lot more effort but it's EXACTLY the kind of stuff I'd love to hear from you! Looking forward to more of the same!
loved the discussion beforehand! hopefully we'll get to see more of these in future vids
6:28 this part made me tear up, so much nostalgia.. ❤
Ok.... this... is a really appreciated approach. I've been following you for a few years, bar youtube failing to serve me new Vids, but I've never seen you do one like this before. The Zelda spread did it in spirit by its choice of songs... but I can only imagine if you introduced us to your Zelda choices like this!
Stardew Valley means so much to me, and this song encapsulates so much of what I adore about it. Thank you for this cover. 🙏🏿
Man, i just loved this video so much. I think exactly as you! The winter song have such a beautiful feeling. It's between a melancholic, lonely feeling, with a powerful freshness. You can feel the cold breeze passing through your face. The timbre and soundscape are so magical. Feels icy and makes me feel lonely a bit :(
Stardew is a mood. Also from Michigan I agree each of these season songs relate so well with the seasons here.
Your cover was so full of emotion and feeling, as soon as it started I stopped what I was doing and it was almost like I was put in a trance for the entire length of the song. So beautiful! Thank you for this wonderful cover.
It feels good to hear that someone else felt like me about this music.
Great rendition! I also really enjoyed this format of a mix of video essay with some small guitar interjections as your supporting evidence, ending with a full cover. Very rad
That is so clean and rad and beautiful bro, loving the in depth commentary
Watching a video of a song cover can be awesome. Watching a song cover while knowing the reason why the song was chosen is even better. Thank you for this experience.
I quite enjoyed this thoughtful, analytical format. I hope you can do these kinds of videos more often!
I live in Wisconsin and I totally agree with you, Sam. That first warm sunny day when the snow starts to melt and you just see water glistening everywhere :) Its one of the best smells ever too!
Thank you for telling us your journey of Stardew Valley. Everyone i know who played this game has a different perspective on events, music, characters, how filling the day. This game is by far one of my most played one and storys like yours keep warming the enthusiastic to play it again.
i really enjoyed this style of video! your tasteful arrangement and immaculate playing were beautiful as always :)
I love this tune, it brings a cozy vibe that a winter season asks for, but personally the submarine theme and the night market are my absolute favorites.
Really liked the format of this video. Part analysis. Part performance. Part silly. It had good flow while you told your story.
This is a beautiful arrangement of a beautiful song. I’ve never actually played Stardew Valley, but I’ve listened to its soundtrack for many many hours because a friend recommended it.
Thanks for this video Sam.
I really enjoy these kinds of music analysis videos with a beautiful performance in the end
You have made me have a new perpective of the music of this game , I knew it was really good but I didnt thought about the meaning of the songs in the seasons. Thank you, great video and keep making videos like this.
Your content is so good. Entertaining and the talent is mind blowing. If you posted more regularly your channel would blow up.
but he is playing stardew valley in between ;)
Sam, I've been watching your videos for a few years now it seems and I've gotta say this is one of my favorites so far. I really enjoy the exposition in the beginning. Thanks for keeping up the good work!
I love this video format! So genuine. Great cover
This was an amazing video! Adding context and meaning to the song before you play it is REALLY engaging. Thanks for this!
Love those harmonics
hella underrated channel bro. you should do more of these full game ost analyses if u haven't already, goes hard
The song was beautiful and it was cool hearing about your experiences with the game.
Love the rendition and all of the lead up to it. Shows a love of gaming, and I am still blown away by how much your playing continues to progress.
Glad I stumbled on this page 5 years ago, and always nice to listen to the pieces you share.
Excellent! I’m so pleased I came across your video. You play beautifully x
The way you play is so enchanting ❤ you can really tell when someone connects with a piece, and plays with their whole soul. Thank you 🤗
I do love that winter song, but what I love 100x more is watching _you_ love it. Thank you so much for sharing your delight in a world where it's stylish to look disinterested. ❤
Also? I live on the central plains of Montana, so I know winter.
And after listening to you play this 4 times now - yes. This is the sorrow, the death of everything, the brutal cold, the stillness that comes with heavy snow, the flare of sunlight on ice, the flush of pheasants from the high grass, the promise of spring, the ache of longing for it. Phenomenal. ☺️
Nice harmonics and great job
I need to visit Pelican Town again
This is a great video! Love the spoken introduction before the performance. I live in New Hampshire, and your description of that first warm day of the year just got me so excited for spring 😭
Loved this video format. Thanks Sam.
Love this format Sam! Keep it up!
Bro as soon as you hit that first harmonic I started crying, you inspire me so much
Class as always Sam. Hope you're enjoying spring 🌱
Loving this concept, good shit Sam
Love the format and the analysis before the cover. Nicely done my dude!
I appreciate all the extra work this style of video took, the result is very much worth it! Thanks Sam!
You wouldn't believe it, when I came to listen I saw that a whole year had passed. What a cover!
My dude!! I LOVE this format. A mini review with a music focus, that then transitions into you playing your favorite tunes from the game. I got chills when you played the songs! Keep it up, Sam
This is probably my favorite song of the whole soundtrack so when you announced it was so fricking hype
I love your introduction to the video with you talking about SDV and why you got into it, why it pulled you in the way it did. I also loved you talking about the different pieces and what you thought of them and why they fit their moments. I completely agree on your choice of song at the end, it is the best song in the game. I think it's the one that sticks with players the most.
There are many good covers of the song, I think yours is the best one I've heard so far because it is simple and not overly busy. Sometimes covers of SDV songs can get out of hand because the person doing it adds too much texture or frills and it can distract from the core melody of the piece (which in turn makes it harder to appreciate the little nuances ConcernedApe put in.) Yours is nice because its not trying to imitate the original piece, you're just taking it and keeping everything important. SDV is beautiful because it is simple without being utilitarian and you captured that.
I will link another cover of the song here, I'll break the link so no one gets spoiled for the end of the video by accident: www.youtube.com/ watch?v=g7PvNC5fnyg I hope you enjoy it!
I am subbing to your channel now, this was a wonderful video, thank you for making it.
love this format, please do it more often
Love this video, you should do more videos reacting to soundtracks and playing some of the pieces, just hearing the part of the Spring song on the classical guitar gave me that comfy feeling of playing Stardew for the first time again
Been following you for many years, this was a great video. I wouldn't expect it from you every time, because I'm sure its a lot more work, but I loved hearing why you loved the song so much. Thanks for everything Sam!
One of my favourites too Sam!
Well done!
Todays the day I sign up to your patreon… enough procrastination.
Thanks again for another awesome cover.😊
Never played this game, but hearing you talk about it, the change of seasons, then playing your favorite tune, really moved me. thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
Stardew Valley is in my Top 3 favorite games and one of the few that I've clocked over 100 hrs in. If you want to find the perfect escapist experience, I cannot recommend it enough. It's a beautifully rich game with lots of heart.
i love your music and the sarcastic memeness that is in your typical videos, but i think your sincere breakdown of the music from the game was enjoyable on an entirely different level. Please make more music breakdown videos like this
Excellent video. I’ve always felt the music in Stardew was so well done and you managed to put it into words in a very captivating way.
Been watching your content for years, and I dig the decision to put a love letter to the game in the video. Good vibes.
Wild Horseradish Jam is one of my favorite songs of all time.
I love this format of video from you, and would love to see more.
really great video! and congrats on the new SGB album, it rules!
I love the approach to this so much man, when I arrange certain songs it’ll be for reasons like these where it makes me decide to do so
Great video Sam. I'd love to see more in this style
this is a really great video. i know its not something you'll do every time, but once in a while this is so so good
Absolutely love it. Even after all this time this song constantly plays in my head during my day to day. Truly is mesmerizing and hearing you transpose it to guitar is incredible
Been loving the new type of content you have making! Keep it up! 😊
Everything in this is just so well stated. I agree that all the music is fantastic, and the season tracks all nail exactly what they set out to accomplish, but something about the winter theme just tugs at my emotional core. It combines the feeling of winter sadness and darkness, with the idea that this is not a planting season, and not a growing season. It's a season to spend time with friends, and maybe do some reorienting of your life, but the plants are all gone and your worries are few. It's a season of maintenance and just getting by, and the music captures that so clearly, it's amazing.
Your insights at the beginning of the video were a fantastic addition! You should keep doing these. I would love to learn more about your thoughts on other music before playing :)
The song and the arrangement are gorgeous, and the new format with you explaning why you decided to arrange the song is actually really nice. I love it.
Yay! You finally played this one! I'm so happy! I shall try to learn it for myself.
This was an awesome video. Loved your perspective on the score.
It's always an inspiration for me how you make this arrangements, bro. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Thank you so much Sam for this beautiful rendition. Loved hearing your thoughts and hope you'll be sharing more in the future as well.
i loved this new style of video from you! I would definitely enjoy more soundtrack analysis style videos from you in the future :)
Listening to some of the Stardew soundtrack again just now got me feeling nostaglic for the early 2021 lockdown period which was the first time I really got into playing Stardew with a group of my friends at the time and I definitely miss those days in a way, might have to revisit the game myself sometime in the future if I want to play something nice and laid back again.
god bless you Sam another killer rendition, really enjoyed hearing your thoughts about the pieces, would love to hear you speak more
I wrote my final college paper about Stardew Valley and how important to gaming I found it to be and how much I feel like anyone can truly enjoy the game no matter your experience level in gaming. I also got to glam about it. ❤️ great work as always, Sam!
Man, there is no other channel like yours. Thank you for sharing your experience and your beautiful music with us, I know soon the time will come for me to start on Stardew. All the best, from the other side of the Atlantic.
HOLY SMOKES that was an incredible performance, completely captures the finer details like the subtle chromatic note at 9.32
I felt the exact same way about this song. I even emailed Eric and he told me he had background in writing music in Fruity Loops
Great video. One of the other winter songs, Ancient, is my favorite.
More of this format please
I agree this is absolutely one of if not the best song in the game. The Fall and Winter themes in general are the ones that immediately immerse me into the world of the game. Loved the entire video discussing the seasons and how effectively the soundtrack reflects them!
Glad you enjoyed Stardew! Love the cover and your musical analysis for the seasonal music!
Unique and rad video idea! More like this ❤
I was thinking about the seasonal song changes when you were talking in the intro. I absolutely agree. Summer is my favorite!
Top notch work, as always!
The wind can be still makes me so emotional
I've been absolutely slapped by this game, great job both of you Sam & Mr Barone :)
Oh my goodness! I'm so excited you picked the Wind May Be Still! I thought it was so breathtaking when I first heard it. That, along with the Night Market Theme are my favorites in the whole game.
i couldn't agree more with your choice, the wind can be still is, to me, THE seasonal song of the game. your rendition of it was incredible!
Ah I can relate to this! I fell into Harvest Moon back on the 64 in the same way, for weeks on end! Great playing as always Sam
I have alot of fond memories playing this game I didn't know how special this particular song was until you played it at 6:25, I teared up a little definitely need to learn this absolutely gorgeous arrangement. Please continue doing the story telling in your future arrangements.
