I was a kid back then around 8 or 10 and a friend had one of those bootleg consoles you buy in a dollar store or somethobg like that, and it had a rom of an old castlevania game, since then i've always felt attached to game soundtracks
6 or 7. I actually got all the way to the Grim Reaper in Castlevania 1, so much of NES back then was just pure effort, but Simons Quest I couldn't even get through the first mansion
thanks dude . yeah this one was a head-scratcher for a while for me though . it's a tough one to do in any other way than drum-heavy metal . Once i decided to do a small intro it kinda clicked into place
Just superb! Not just excellent musicianship and mixing, but a unique (and perhaps the best) arrangement pf the song that fully brings out the strengths of the chosen instruments
This is impressive inventive work. All those skills learned through all those years really show their values here. Along with new ones. So, bowed cowbell is a thing now ?! Well done.
Your original cover of this song was amazing, but this new version incorporating additional instruments and improved sound quality is absolutely jaw-dropping!
Holy hell, this version is downright haunting! There's something so mysterious and drifting about this version! You've got mee feeling the dark at my back and mist around my feet!
You should play all the Castlevania games released till date (from NES era to NDS). These games are awesome and memorable gems. Castlevania and Metroid were the only two game franchise which led to a well known term in gaming called "Metroidvania". You certainly will feel the power of this genre.
While Castlevania 2 had many flaws, this song is not one of them. Sir, your rendition is glorious and will be played many times by me and I’m sure many others.
Bloody tears Flowing in my eyes I will face the fear That I feel Inside Bloody Tears Running down my face All the wasted years Of a life live In disgrace!
@@banjoguyollie No, no. I mean the part where the synth comes in around 1:01 :) P.S. I ve been listening to this all day today on a loop! (And shared it with friends) Thank you so much for sharing your music with us!
You should collaborate with Huskybythegeek! You've such similar playing styles even though your array of instruments is so different, I'm sure it could lead to some amazing projects.
How old were you and where were you when you heard this tune for the first time ?
About 7 years old, getting on 40 this years so 33 years ago. And it still feels like yesterday and still makes me so excited to hear it.
I do not know, I was pretty tiny though

I must've been 9 and saw a TV commercial for Simon's Quest. I know everyone hated that game, but i loved it because the music score was so amazing

That lead-up was absolutely awesome!
You have such an array of instruments now and you play them tremendously!
Wow. This cover is great. Most of Bloody Tears covers lack something, but this one rocks
That slow build up was amazing and this is one of the most refreshing cover ever 💯
When music is of the highest quality it won't be the composer, performer or the arranger you hear. It will be God.
quite right. well said.
As a life long Castlevania fan, this is by far one of the best versions of this track I've personally heard. Thank you so much
Probably my favorite cover of this song.
Absolutely stellar rendition!
Your style with Castlevania songs is just absolutely wonderful. Amazing job!
Your arranging game is god tier on this one! I love so many things about this cover. Amazing work as always!
thanks dude . yeah this one was a head-scratcher for a while for me though . it's a tough one to do in any other way than drum-heavy metal . Once i decided to do a small intro it kinda clicked into place
@@banjoguyollie this is your second take on it and it improves on the original you did. keep up the good work.
Just superb! Not just excellent musicianship and mixing, but a unique (and perhaps the best) arrangement pf the song that fully brings out the strengths of the chosen instruments
*AMAZING!* You have done it again, BGO! Making another classic Castlevania tune better than the original! Bravo! 👏👏👏

Your original cover of this song was amazing, but this new version incorporating additional instruments and improved sound quality is absolutely jaw-dropping!
yeah I really wanted to redo it properly and suit the vibe of the recent castlevania covers. The old cover was ... too old
I can't wait to finishy TPSI test to listen to this banger.
I love your work man, we need more castelvania and megaman music 🎵
Absolutely legendary. Love the effort and work you put. Thanks for this!!
Masterful on so many levels! All those effects really add up to something really special
lots of bowed stuff in layers with tons of chorus and flanger and phasers and echo :D
Awesome cover. This is like Castlevania meets Harry Chapin's Cats in the Cradle.
lovely, a true definitive version contender! nice implement of a medieval theme - big ups :)
That build up was amazing. One of the best cover of this song I have heard in a long time ! 🤩
merci, c'est tres gentil
incredible TvT that beat... what a beat for killing vampires.
I think I found my new favorite Bloody Tears cover ❤
Absolutely love this rendition of one of my all-time favourite Castlevania songs. Thanks for this.
That intro! this rendition is now my favorite by far.
Your Castlevania 1 covers was the thing that got me into your channel, so this was a real treat to hear! Class act as usual man!
Man, your Castlevania covers never disappoint !
Normally I would just say something like "great as always, Ollie!".
But this is next level. Super nice. I like the oldschool GnR shirt as well.
oh my God almighty what...,what have I been gifted? from discovering Phendara drifts now to this..... My mouth hangs low at the hinges.
Castlevania has never sounded more cozy. Great work!
Holy hell, this version is downright haunting! There's something so mysterious and drifting about this version! You've got mee feeling the dark at my back and mist around my feet!
One of the best Castlevania tracks.
this gave me goosebumps... bravo
Bloody Tears is one of the most iconic tracks in the series, and you knocked it out of the park with your rendition!
Beautiful take on that emblematic Castlevania track
This slaps! ... it slaps blood... it slaps tears.
That was fantastic!
I have still not played a Castlevania game, the backlog be huge, but I have loved this tune for years. Amazing cover!

Listening to ur covers whenever I work makes the experience so smoooooth :'D thank u for sharing ur great talent and for existing man ❤
Absolutely incredible
While Castlevania 2 had many flaws, this song is not one of them. Sir, your rendition is glorious and will be played many times by me and I’m sure many others.
If they ever remake Castlevania 2 this should be the main theme.
Kinda surprised you just covered that now. I was sure you did that before. Love your Castlevania covers!
Dayum 1:20 starts to slaaaaaap
A man of culture and skill I love it 👍 respect. It brings such great and epic memories of playing simon's quest like 30 odd years ago.
Another masterpiece that brings back childhood memory.
Would love to see you Do silkworm from the amiga 500
Amazing. And thank you for playing it in the right key -- a lot of people don't.
I remember this song! Thanks for another great cover
my wife says "this sounds like if Bloody Tears were from the Chrono Cross soundtrack"
That gave me goosebumps, brilliant!!!!
A new masterpiece. Love this interpretation already.
Du bist einfach genial, du hadt echt rythmus im blut.. Großartig.. 🎉🎉🎉
I might have overdosed on this tune.
That gave me chills. Amazing! 😍
love the slow intro; playing the vid at .75 speed i noticed this could work well as some 80’s goth/synth pop song 😂 10/10
Oh man! I love Barkerville!
Very beautiful video ❤ you're very good sorry for my bad English ❤ but I love your music 🎉 need a new Touhou music huhu (bad apple ❤×10000...00000)
Incredible beats, thankyou.
perfect to be inside The Witcher Series :)
Bloody tears
Flowing in my eyes
I will face the fear
That I feel
Inside
Bloody Tears
Running down my face
All the wasted years
Of a life live
In disgrace!
Sensacional!!! Incrível!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
YASSSS! This sounds fantastic :D
Absolutely amazing! Congrats!
Simply awesome, one of my favorite cover (including cattlevania of course 😁)
LOVE IT!!! So excited for Castlevania: Nocturne!
Great cover as always! Best cover channel on YT!
Love it! what a fantastic version! Even better than the original cover you did.
Nice version!! I thought you did this song already! I beat you to it ;-) and did my version about 4 months ago! I really love your awesome intro!!
yeah I did a version back in 2014 what felt a bit "too old" so I decided to redo it
@@banjoguyollie Great decision
As good as this is, as well as all his other covers, of he does beginning from Castlevania 3, Famicom version especially, I'd die happy.
I did it already ;)
Wow, this is very great.. 🎉
what a cadence
Masterwork
Funny how on youtube pure crap gets 1.5M views and good content like this only 12k. This is a very good version of CASTLEVANIA 2 - Bloody Tears.
Will this amazing piece be going on Spotify anytime soon?
Amazing ❤

Just Amazing ! Vraiment une excellente reprise 🔥
Awesome arrangement!
is there a version without the ad?
youtube members and patreon contributors get the video in advance and without ads or talking
If Dracula was from Portugal vibes. :)
Awesome intro there
Heck yes. A bop and a half.
Firts I was like: again? Uh...
But then you just hit me with absolute awesomeness. You outdid yourself Ollie, congrats and thank you.
yeah some of those old covers are ... well, old. So I want to re-do them and do them proper justice whenever I get the chance
Olá, na XR16 eu consigo abrir multitrack para mixagem?
WHAT A
HORRIBLE NIGHT
TO HAVE A
CURSE...
This was great!!!
ALL KILLER NO FILLER great as always
Brought a tear to my eye. Not bloody, happily.
Is it just me or the intro has a hint of Tubular Bells in it? (The exorcist's theme)
slow intro maybe ?
@@banjoguyollie No, no. I mean the part where the synth comes in around 1:01 :)
P.S. I ve been listening to this all day today on a loop! (And shared it with friends) Thank you so much for sharing your music with us!
Круто! А еще к нам вернулся советский синтезатор, спасибо))
Merci ! C’est un thème qui me hante depuis mon enfance
You should collaborate with Huskybythegeek! You've such similar playing styles even though your array of instruments is so different, I'm sure it could lead to some amazing projects.
Mega!
Yeah new Bloody Tears
Man I really need @BG Ollie to play the "Tristram" song from Diablo 1
Excelente! 👍🏼
Awesome!
Awesome 🤘
