- Thoughts on Steven Universe through its ending theme, "Love Like You". Hear the sax cover; read the cover story🎵📖!
I don't think I'm alone, but for me, for the longest time, it seemed pretty clear what Steven Universe's ending theme, "Love Like You" was supposed to be about. I thought it was about Steven's mom -- Rose Quartz -- coming to appreciate earth and humanity. This larger-than-life figure idolized by most of the characters she met in Steven Universe...who could she be? What could be behind the veneer? It seemed that Love Like You was Rebecca Sugar's way of letting everyone know that there was more to Rose Quartz than met the eye.
However, Steven Universe is quite a bit more complex than that, and as Rebecca even announced, the fact is that Love Like You is a much more expansive song.
That is to say: the Steven Universe ending theme Love Like You can be applied to nearly all the characters in the Steven Universe universe (pun...maybe intended?) If you've ever been tempted to skip past an episode, dismissing it as filler, rethink about it while having this in mind. Ultimately, every episode of Steven Universe establilshes some sort of connection for some character to the overall theme of Love Like You.
P.S., no disrespect meant to Lars and Ronaldo! Keep Beach City Weird, y'all!

i always thought that the original sounded like a Christmas song you would play in New York City while its lightly snowing and all it needed was a little bit more jazz
this is such a great image for this!
Yeah i can relate
I'm putting this on loop next time I cook fancy, beautiful work on this tender song :DD
seems like you have a lot of ideas for cooking songs haha
My anxiety is going overdrive and this genuinely feels like a hug, thank you so so much
The song fitting for every character makes more sense once you hear the entire version. I know when I first heard the full version I got a major lightbulb moment XD this was a lovely cover, this song fits the sax very well.
You've got the best tone in the Universe, dude! (pun more or less intended) Wow times a million; major kudos.
that is so flattering! Thank you soooo much -- just never search for my Here Comes a Thought cover though, because there I tried to sing (and failed)
The disliker must be White Diamond.
White Diamond like: "As for this latest little music video of yours, thank the stars it's over. Did you have fun? Did you get everything out of your system?"
This is just so good, I love it!
I'm Learning to play a saxophone and I hope one day I'll be just as good as you 😄
I'd definitely love to hear anything you record! I learned soooo much by doing this channel, so I would recommend learning how to play your favorite pieces to improve!
nice use of text again!
:D Glad that people are still noticing this as a branding point!
Hey, man! Got around to checkin' your covers. Honestly, I really like both the audio and visual approaches you take especially with the story/commentary. Feels like it adds another layer of mood in the mix. Really good stuff!
Thanks for commenting; to me, one of the most parts is adding another level by seeing how I can match the music with the story, so I'm glad that people are starting to appreciate this.
Thanks so much as well for providing such a detailed response to my twitter question!
subversiveasset No problem, dude! I enjoy immersing myself in the community; There's always a lot to say.
underrated af
:D :D :D
Wonderful thoughts and playing
Hey was this an Alto sax? And if it was is there any way you could drop the sheet music??
LIBERA A PARTITURA CARA❤😭 você é muito talentoso 👏👏
Love this, nice work.
This was definitely one I had been sitting on for a while, but I finally figured out a way to get it more to something I liked!
It’s been 2 years and I haven’t left since
I can only play the first part using the tenor sax, flawless work!
Ronaldo is still wack to me
tbh, S A M E
The sax was the perfect choice for this cover ♡ So lovely to listen to
So glad you enjoyed it!
i want this song for my wedding
Beautiful stuff homie
harlem renaissance
I saw the name and I was like 'this is a good idea'. And it was
:D :D
Why a dislike? This was perfect!
dislike was from CORRUPTED JASPER
I was practicing this on flute and saw this and DIED. I want to learn sax aaaaa awesome job!!!!
since I've never played flute, I don't know how comparable the two are, but I feel like sax would be easier, so if you ever get a chance to learn, do it!
they actually both have the same fingerings! thank you so much! this cover was outstanding!
Yeah, I only needed the first three seconds to like the video. XD
Goodness! I'm a beginner, and I'm looking at covers of SU songs for inspiration for some street performing I plan to do!!
+If I Could Tell Her street performing sounds really cool! I would not be able to do that, haha
+subversiveasset How come, if I might ask?
Firstly, I would need to bring sheet music for anything I would want to play. But the bigger thing is that I rely on studio editing for soooo much to get things to sound just right. I don't really like live sound haha
For me it was Rose taking to Greg but thats a nice point you made here and as always awesome cover!
i just got this in my recommended and now I'm crying over how Steven universe is over and how I'm going to miss it so much I never wanted it to end but all good things must come to a end sadly
SAME. But they really stuck the landing on the ending, especially w/ Steven Universe Future, I think.
once I knew what song it was I went all the way back to the start paused the video and loaded it in 720p so I can watch and listen in its golriousness
:D
2022 and I'm still crying internally for its 4 cut seasons, the end would have been less hasty and there would have been more development of the enormous potential it had
Well, at least I'll dream of a reboot
oh my god, this is so good. he should be getting way more likes. its amazing!
Definitely feel free to share with people you think would enjoy it. Hopefully if more people discover and enjoy then it will get more traction :D
Woah! How do you play with such a rich sound?! This is super good.
The short answer is "lots of practice with long tones"
The long answeris harder. Sax sound is very dependent on embouchure, and it's not easy to teach this remotely since you can't exactly see what the mouth cavity is doing. So, you just have to kind of live into how getting certain sounds feels like.
I feel like singers probably have the same basic issue.
subversiveasset My main problem is I cut notes too short and I need to work on playing legato.
Haha I get around that by basically slurring everything XD. I also struggle with this though...when I do tongue, it's usually too hard and staccato.
Believe it or not, tonguing is also something that can be integrated in long tone practice, because you have to get a good feel for how much (or rather, how little) tongue you need, how to maintain breath while tonguing, etc., So while practicing long tones, you would then try carefully and very lightly tonguing to metronome. This should help get a better feel for legato vs regular vs staccato.
I see it that way too but I have thought that song could be Rose/Pink song to Greg or even Lapis's singing about Steven
Just found your channel. Well done, I am a flutest
So glad you found and enjoyed! Let me know if you ever have any flute covers you record :D
Damn, okay you chill af
This is beautiful, have you made sheet music for it, I really want to learn it
Great music and equally great video to accompany it. I hope people realize there's a lot of work in all of these vids aside from the music!
*thinks back to all of the midi humanization*
*shudders*
It's OK if people don't think about ALL the work that goes in, haha
Post “a single pale rose” the text at the top gets a little more complex.
yes OMG
sheet music?
This is based on sheet music original transcribed by ataraxia159 on musescore, but here are the sheets with my modifications: musescore.com/user/3119091/scores/3887686
Since I only have the free version of musescore, I can only have 5 sheets visible as a time, so this might disappear as I upload more sheets.
I figured this out many years ago that the song is about everyone
this is so beautiful, brought tears to my eyes :'~)
Awww, thanks so much for commenting! Hope you'll find other covers on my channel just as beautiful :)
The 1 person who disliked this is now in a insane asylum
Fantastic
thanks so much!!!
release the sheet music please 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love it ❤️
so glad you liked! I also have a cover of "Here Comes a Thought" on my channel, but I tried singing in it (and I am nooot a singer, haha)
can i get the notes for the chorus??
Beautiful music :’)
At 1:15 it was smooth af
:D
Saw on r/stevenuniverse/. Immediately liked.
:D :D :D
So beautiful and romantic...
Love it too much 💙👍
Aww man really wish you put the sheet music! This song is great!
i posted the link in another comment. I only get limited sheet music spots on the free version of musescore though --> musescore.com/user/3119091/scores/3887686
Nicely done!
Who disliked this
that was great
im crying
O m g
AMAZING
Amazing work! I’m so glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much!
Beautiful, also really enjoyed the insight into the song with the text up top. nice touch!
So glad you checked out a couple videos -- I try to do a story or some type of insight with any of my videos with "cover story" in the title, so hopefully you'll find even more you enjoy in addition to this and the Zero Two)
Imagine listening to this alone in the car in a high way on your way home from work thing about that special someone that you love care absolutely admire and idolises and how much she/he means to you. You constaly repeat how much she/he is better then you and you ain't worth it but they still love you. (1:59) You already park your car and are walking to the door and once you open the door you see her/his warm and welcoming smile. That smile that made the world seem a little less heavier. You enter in and close the door. The end
Amazing Cover!! Did you make the backing track yourself? Does anyone know where I could get the backing track for this song?
I make the backing tracks for all of my covers, so I wouldn't be able to tell you where you could find a backing track. However, the arrangement that I used to create the backing track should be available on musescore - so if you have a few virtual instruments and a DAW that can process midi, then that can take you a long way
Thanks!
The best cover of Love Like You I have ever had the pleasure of hearing 🌸
Excellent cover! Such good tone and articulation
awwww :3 Thanks!
dude I'm switching to alto sax from clarinet and someday I hope I'm good as you! liked and subbed your my instrument hero: )
Thanks so much! I will say, as someone who started on alto sax and tried learning clarinet after, clarinet is SO MUCH HARDER than sax -- the embouchure is so much more unforgiving for clarinet. So I think the transition from clarinet -> sax will be a lot easier
subversiveasset thank you so much! nice sound by the way keep it man!
¿Why i didn’t hear your cover before? Is so beatiful man, you do a lovely work
This is my first listing to this I legit teared up . Beautifully done👏👏
WHO THE FRIK DISLIKED THIS!!!!!!
If I could begin to see
half of what haters think of me
I would do about anything
To turn those dislikes into loves
Ах, это прекрасно
O vo chora :')
YOU SOUNDED GREAT!!!😁👌
What mic do you use for this and what did you do to make it sound like that? (What website, app, way to play with the audio, etc.) THX in advance.
I use the electrovoice RE20 for a mic -- that mic already has a very warm, rich sound, but it is probably possible to recreate most of that sound through post-production.
For software, I use REAPER as my DAW, and after recording, I will usually EQ to add some additional brightness/higher frequencies, and then I will usually add some saturation and reverb to have the entire mix gel together.
subversiveasset Thx dude this is gonna help me for my channel coming soon.
+Oscarg421 do you also play sax? Awesome!
Definitely feel free to ask me any questions. There's definitely a lot of stuff you can do before upgrading to more expensive hardware or software, so if you have any questions about the basics, then let me know!
subversiveasset will do and also I do, I play Alto sax.
Sheet music? Pls
musescore just removed their upload limit, so here you go: musescore.com/user/3119091/scores/3887686
Love that song
One of my favorites from the series, although there are definitely others I'd like to get to sooner or later!
is there a way that I could see your sheet music for this song
as long as I haven't uploaded too many more sheets to Musescore, it should be available here: musescore.com/user/3119091/scores/3887686
Thank you so much this has been really helpful
love it xD
+이강혁 😂
Hi

Nice!
Thanks so much!
ES TAN RELAJANTE😃😃😃😃😊😌😌😌😌
Gracias! Estoy tan feliz de saber que usted siente así
Loved your cover😘
so glad to hear it :D
❤ :0
:) so glad you enjoyed
What a beautiful cover!!
so glad you appreciated! hope you've caught up on the latest episodes that came out this week!
yep, they were amazing! can't wait for the last one from this bomb tomorrow ^^
This is great. Incredible soundtrack from Steven Universe. Thanks for sharing.
So glad you enjoyed!
Can I get tenor version please
Definitely check out the Musescore version I've uploaded -- Musescore is free, and will allow you to change the instrumentation in just a few clicks. So just go ahead and change alto to tenor. (I believe the range should still be playable for tenor after you change.)
musescore.com/user/3119091/scores/3887686
subversiveasset oh that’s awesome thank you so much
Where can I get the sheet music for this?
Since I don't have Musescore premium, I can't upload very many sheets at once, but with Musescore, you can actually change instruments pretty easily, so I would use Alliron's arrangement, which took some insight from my transcription :D
musescore.com/alliron/love-like-you
Hi! Where could I get the notes for this? :)
It's on musescore. (p.s., since i make music only for myself, the engraving isn't done according to normal conventions): musescore.com/user/3119091/scores/3887686
bro have the notes please?
as long as I haven't uploaded too many more sheets to Musescore, it should be available here: musescore.com/user/3119091/scores/3887686
Why are you not monetized?????
I...am? (at least until February 20th, when UA-cam puts its new requirements)
subversiveasset ok good cause this shit is too good for u to not be making anything lol
+ImKingBoss haha, ad revenue isn't a whole lot at the level of views I have. I should promote my patreon more, but, eh.
subversiveasset I feel u lol
