A violin and guitar cover of "Your Best Nightmare" and "Finale" from the indie game Undertale.
Probably the most challenging to arrange among my Undertale covers, took a while but once I figured out the right approach, it was all smooth sailing from there, kinda. Even if it took almost a year of mental trial and error.
But for it to work, I had to channel several composer's styles who has been an inspiration to me that serves the arrangement. There were bits of Nobuo Uematsu, Koji Kondo, Bach, Carl Orff and even U2 in the mix, to name a few. I'm very happy with the result and I hope you are too! Enjoy!
This is included in the 4th volume of my Undertale album series, "Strings of Determination".
Undertale "Your Best Nightmare / Finale"

If you haven't liked this video then...
*You really ARE an idiot.*
Fruit Cake hardy har har
Fruit Cake You sounded like GlaDos for a second instead of flowey
That is rude.
+Betaflow Its a freaking reference. Jeez.
Ooops. My bad. It'hasn't solidified in my. I played undertale translated.
Finale in my opinion is one of the most underrated tracks in the game. It's almost always "megolovania" this or "battle against a true hero" that. Now I will admit, I do like those tracks as well, but Finale will always be my favorite. Not to mention this cover just made it even better.
Likely It doesn't imprint as well on the song level, personally the shift was a big surprise to me & I spent less time listening to this song and more time trying not to get totally reamed.
Finale is my favorite....Really :(
Your best nigthmare is my favorite one
See, I like these kind of people. They're sensible, and they comment something actually RELEVANT to the video, not those stupid "lIkE iF yOu aGreE" or "tHe lIkE bUtTon iS bLuE nOw nYeH hEh HeH" kind of thing.
@@traceymccoy2144 like if you agree
I heard you sneak "His Theme" into Finale.
In all seriousness, this exceeded expectations. I can't imagine how satisfying it must have been to see this all come together.
@@thebeehiveman7108 I thought it was a leimnoff to Hope's and dreams in the beginning of finale
I think His Theme was originally in Finale, but don’t quote me on that.
@@brownie9044 His theme was indeed in Finale, little plinks in the background with a slightly shifted melody to sound a bit more haunting/creepy.
@@brownie9044 It was :)
Finale never fails to send shivers through me. As if everything was leading up to that moment. This cover is top notch, 10/10
finale was the better final boss theme imo.
this song says, *"IM COMING TO GET YA!"*
Omega Flowey Just Veeeeeeery slowly
Asriel Dreemurr true
So true
true
Sure
If Undertale ever sees a "remastered" edition, you really need to work on the soundtrack! This was absolutely incredible!
Petition for Re:Undertale pls
Lol , why would it need a remaster?
Its a modern game
@Groopwo That would be a remake
Toby works alone mostly, aside from a little help with artwork
It is done
I would say use this for hard mode
4:00 - jump to Finale
My fav part of the song. :)
There will be hope while ur breathing remember he's just a flower
I think that's the lyrics
Same
Wow so unique
@@spaceyspux7194 Final is a quite underrated ost actually
@@earl.of.cornwall I'm just saying that you should not skip a whole song just to get to a good part, experience it in it's whole!
3:11 - 3:25 my god... I'm loving this part a lot.
same
i'm loving this whole damn video.
That's my favorite too :D
Yea same
That violin action near the end though. You're so amazing! Astig! 😁
filipinoooooooooooo
hello
Five years later and these are still some of the best Undertale covers on the internet
Dude, ever single time I listen to your version, I cry, it's just so beautiful
Thank you so much!
Really love your additional musical twists you do with some of your instrumental remixes. They really give more flare into these pieces, especially this one in Finale where the same tune generally repeats constantly in game and most other remixes, it brings the feelings of epicness, *determination* , and emotion to its maximum. Extra credit for giving a hint of His Theme in Finale as well! I applaud to you! Excellent work once again!
I'm glad my musical nerdiness is getting noticed. Thank you! :D
"Floweys defense drops to 0"
Frisk:Showtime
You nailed that Finale, ya freaking nailed it!!! 👍👍👍
I love all the little twists you put on your covers, whether it be the instruments you use or the violin solo you add in at the end. Finale is one of my favorite songs from Undertale and you really know how to take it above and beyond to really drive the message of the theme home, and thats what I really admire. Thanks for making so many great covers.
Brilliant. I mean seriously brilliant. I genuinely wasn't expecting something this good for Your Best Nightmare, as it's so difficult to play on the piano, let alone violin. Seriously, this is amazing.
Not the greatest fan of Undertale, but watching this video, I'm all: "WTF is this guy's skill with the strings like WTF???" Guess this guy's seriously called "String Player Gamer for a good reason, and I LOVE it
I never clicked so fast.
Sobi the Robot same lmao
Sobi the Robot and you probably still haven't
What an original comment...
I had to think of something quickly. This is, like, the first time I've ever actually been the first to comment. It's a small achievement, but now I'm content. :)
You're just salty _you_ didn't get first comment. :P
Ahaha of course xD
Now THIS...THIS right here is how you properly remix YBN/F. Perfectly encapsulates the utter chaos of the song, while managing to maintain the violent tonal shifts throughout. (Really liked how you did the warning sirens too, well played good sir.)
Best part of this was definitely at 5:51 when 'his theme' kicked in
i know right i love this part,its just perfect
eargasm
It's like a direct point that there's still a piece of Asriel inside of this horrible monster that needs SAVING.
5:21 Good god this was an excellent idea!
I'm so happy this cover is finally made! Your Undertale covers is simply the best, great music and your incredible talent is the perfect combination.
CONGRATS ON 100000 SUBS
HOPE YOUR SILVER PLAY BUTTON COMES TO HOUSE
I think I forgot to add "your"
Yeah I did.
*You Are Filled With determination. You Melt.*
but the thing is, he can't get his silver play button because, um.
*it's stuck to the table.*
Aidan Snyder It was unpinned
W.D Gaster knowing this content he will be at diamond soon
My reaction on Finale part:
4:00 - Meh! Is it all you can offer?
5:00 - Holy Cinnamon Butterscotch Pie! I take my words back!
Seriously? You thought it was meh the first seconds? You know that it starts meekly in the beginning of the actual song right?
You mean butterscotch
@@deborahphilwesmacnaughtan9079 That's exactly what they said
Brush I like 4:00 to 5:00
I thought Holy cinnamon butterscotch pie for all of it
subbed for undertale, stayed for the amazing talent
2:10 - 2:28 is my favorite imo. sick beats man and 2:57 - 3:27 was so amazing i actually felt tensed from those harpsichords
holy shit. finale. fucking yes i cried badly, that was an amazing 'finish' (heh)
the best part is 0:00-7:05
We can all agree on that, Gorzux.
Gorzux *7:06
Asriel Dreemurr naaaa fuck that last second
$1 a day will help abused *loop buttons* from this amazing remix.

I was waiting for this song for so long, not believing it's really possible since violin is... well violin. You prooved I was wrong :D I think it's one of your best projects. I'm really impressed! Great job, great idea and creativity. I'm curious how long did it take to write and record this? Did you plan playing this song or was it spontaneous challange?
Thank you! This type of song, a multi-faceted, multi-sectional piece, needs a lot of planning. I did add some improv parts in the violin solo at the end but for the bigger picture, it's all planned and it took almost a year.
how long did it take for you to arrange this? i want to reach into this kind of level one day tbh, was it a bumpy road for you?
Maybe 4-5 months of on-off arrangement sessions. The great thing about creating a new arrangement without the pressure of deadlines is that you can take your time in the pre-arrangement planning. That involves lots of lists, listening to related music, thinking in the clouds, daydreaming about the music, and NOT the actual arranging and writing yet.
I wait until I believe and feel that I'm ready mentally and emotionally after ingesting all that information. If you've reached that level of preparation, the actual arranging sessions become less difficult. Mind you, it's still not easy, but being prepared made it smoother.
That's already done, on his third album: stringplayergamer.bandcamp.com/track/undertale-from-undertale

You probably won't read this, but man! Your videos are amazing! I looked for good covers of the undertale soundtrack and I gave your covers a listen. I guess I have never been so addicted to anyone's videos! :D And of course, I immediatly subscribed as I saw you were still making Undertale covers. It's rare, that someone still cares about Undertale as much as I do. Love ya! :D
Ev3lyn I read it.
Ev3lyn Also, it's not too late, I LITTERALLY AM THE FANDOM ITSELF
+GalacticHeart AJ no you aren't
Catadventurer22 {CA22} it's a joke. Please consider that next time! 😜
I really have nothing to say for this, since I'm new to the channel...
Well, I mean, asides from your majestic hair, that is.
Syntheia IKRR
Syntheia THEY USE THEIR HAIR TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES
They? Just "he".
String Player Gamer I feel ya 😂
Syntheia Same im new
I never even seen someone so talented
Oh lord my friend has the same picture as you
Talented people are everywhere..
I never i love this viedoes and flowey
This jingle is so well re-created it fills you with.
❤DETERMINATION❤
This man deserves way more subs
Oh... my god. Oh my _god,_ this was so worth the wait. I wish I could properly articulate how this makes me feel; The fear, the joy, the determination... Thank you. Thank you so much for making this, this is the best day that I've had in a long time.
I really love how you sneaked his theme underneath the rest of finale, it just feels so right that I'm suprised it wasn't in the origonal
It is, why is everyone saying it’s not?
I’m choking back tears listening to this, thank you
In min. 5:00 to the rest of the song i was having nonstop goosebumps, this is amaizing and clearly one of my favorite songs from you, keep it up!
My ears are so satisfied.
Fuck off
Oh my god yes!! I've been so hyped for this!
Holy crap. I got the biggest goosebumps when "His theme" started playing at 5:52 IT MAKES ME SO SAD BUT IT'S SO COOL AT THE SAME TIME!! AAAA AMAZING JOB!
5:21 esa parte es tan hermosa que la primera vez que lo escuché allá por 2019 me puse a llorar xd
@@SHINIGAMI213007 lo mismo digo 😭
omg that flash of mettaton right before final was the right choice ong reminds me of him so much. I
I'm sincerely happy you reached 100k. You deserve all of this and more.
3 weeks later and still I find myself coming back.
By far one of the best cover of Your Best Nightmare and Finale.
Played with much Determination.
didn't think he could make it sound this good on violin but he did it, this is so good!
The way you translated the alarm sound on violin is perfect
My favourite cover of this piece by far
Finale. I am crying it's so good
This is amazing. You truly have a magnificent gift.
Anyway,
Yay ten seconds
100k!!!!
congratulations Diwa!!!!
a big hug for you from El Salvador
It feels like ages ago since I first heard your UT covers almost 2 years ago. It sounds long but it's gone by quickly.
Hearing you play this brings me back to those early days. The feelings of adventure, unknown, chaos, and love. It blends so well here in this!
This may be your greatest achievement yet!
Thank you for all of the work you put into each and every song you play, it makes it even more memorable and beautiful! Hope to hear more amazing vg covers from you this year! (^^)/
I can only say that it was worth the wait.One of your best videos ever.
Congratulations on over 100k subscribers!!!!🎉
You watch the amazing musician play some great music.
You are filled with DETERMINATION.
Listening to this in bed has filled me with DETERMINATION

i allow this joke ONLY because this video is undertale related, remember that.
I am at a loss for words.
This song sounds so powerful, chaotic, like a descent into (bullet) hell itself. Already an astounding piece. And yet...
*It. Gets. So. Much. Better.*
It suddenly becomes so hopeful, as the tables have turned, his defence is down and it's an even playing field.
He's outta tricks, and he's against a wall.
The hope from the second part really feels like do or die is at hand, and makes it so awesome.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a demigod to demolish.
*Loads Liberty Launcher as this starts playing*
I NEVER CLICKED A VID SO FAST IN MY LIFE!!!
You did an INCREDIBLE job with Your Best Nightmare. I wasn't a big fan of Finale though, except the beginning guitar and the ending violins.
*_LET THE BATTLES BEGIN_*
The perseverance part fits SO WELL WITH THE GUITAR
4:40 that crescendo is the most beautiful thing i've ever heard in my life, sadly it doesn't repeat near the ending =/
This is my favorite song on the Undertale soundtrack, thank you so much for doing a cover of it. This song is sooooo underrated.
awesome as always! thank you for this great cover :D
Gotcha!!! :D
Hi JakobTheQuizGuy

Great job :) keep up the good work
You are a talented man. If I played the violin (I play the viola) then I would want to play undertale music like you. Keep up the good work 😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👌🏼👌🏼
for once, another viola player!
Mrs Awesome Cat Hell yeah! Violists for the win!
Mrs Awesome Cat I play cello
Alessa__ cool you play viola too? Well I hope you like to play it as much as I do.
Shark jesus cool! Keep playing that cello my friend :D
I had no internet for TWO DAYS and look what happens! I love it!
I would love to hear some of the Pokemon Sun/Moon battle themes
+Nasukkin You bet.
Holy crap this is incredible. There are so many layers to this version. I'm really impressed. Keep doing what you're doing man. You've got a real talent.
I RLLY LOVE THIS PART 5:05

This song became 10x more spooky and dramatic; that's pretty good.
I swear Your Best Nightmare makes me feel as if I had abused my drugs for the first time and Finale ... JFC the gloriousness of that song TUT
Oh my God, you have some raw skill. The violin in finale... I think my brain just melted..
Flowey/Asreil Is A Special Kind Of Monster.
Other Than Papyrus', Floweys Is The Saddest
In The Neutral Run, You Have The Choice To *Spare* Or *Kill* Flowey.
Killing Flowey Would Mean That You Are Following Flowey's Rules By Kill Or Be Killed
That Would Also Mean That *YOU* Are The True Monster Here
But Sparing Him...
Sparing Him Would Not Only Mean That You Did The Right Thing...
But It Also Means You Defeated Him At The Same Time.
How?
You Mentally Break Him Down Because He Cannot Understand Why You Decided To Spare Him After All The Things He's Done.
After He Got The Seven Souls ( Asgore's Soul Including ), He Tried To Kill You.
Even After Killing You Once, He Tries To Do It Again.
And Again.
But After All The Souls Rebel Against Him.
And You Can Finally Do Some Decent Damage To Him
You Can Then Beat Him.
Once Omega Flowey Is Defeated, He Turns Into A Normal Flower.
He Looks Very Wounded And Hurt. (Most Monsters Only Look Wounded In The Genocide Run)
But In The Genocide Run, Instead Of Accepting His Fate, Like The Other Monsters...
He Is Alone And Afraid.
After Killing Him, He Is Crushed Into A Little Ball..
When Fighting Asreil, He Tells You Why He Wanted To Keep On Killing You.
It Was Because He Was Lonely.
He Wanted You to Play With Him.
This Might Be Just Me, But I Think Flowey Is One Of The Most Well Thought Characters.
But Hey, That's Just A Theory.
A GAME THEORY!
you just had to at mattpats little end theory thing....
PicanteLight
PicanteLight
stop capitalizing every word dumbass
You got 1 thing wrong Paprus’ saddest death is the Genocide run
Congrats on completing this Diwa, truly a tremendous production!

Bro this left me speechless. When I try violin, I always fail, but you make it look easy. You have such a great talent and I’m glad you’re showing it on the internet. Good luck out there!
This comment will be forgotten in the abyss.
But if you have read this, have a wonderful day!
I will! And I hope that you have a wonderful day too!
