- This is probably the most "exposed" musical performance I've ever done, since it starts off as just me -- nobody else. There's something really thrilling and also a little terrifying about that. Add the fact that we were in front of maybe 1,000 people ... and really it was all I could do not to think about the size of the crowd and just let the music carry me away. I hope my Gaelic is okay! I love this song, and I love my band.
Come say hi to me! I love to keep in touch with fans and friends. :)

I was 14 years old when i heard this song for the very first time, now i'm 30. Can believe that i'm crying. 140.15
TonYe Kcol me to bro
TonYe Kcol you called Meryl?
me too!
Same!
I was 8 years old when i heard this song for the very first time, now i'm 28. i'm crying.
"You mustn't allow yourself to be chained to fate, to be ruled by your genes... Humans can choose the type of life they want to live... The important thing is that you choose life, and then LIVE! "
That has been my quote since 98/99 when I first completed MGS...
Can anyone else feel the arctic cold winds when this song is played? Shadow Moses
Cold winds and wet tears
Cold wind in the winter sad and lonely
We're not tools of the government, or anyone else.
It is winter and my room has a draft. It just sent a STRONG cold chill through my entire body at literally the first notes.
Yesss! Mgs
"Snake, what was she fighting for? What am I fighting for? What are you fighting for?"
Rest in peace.... sniper wolf...
Nooo shaaaaakee
To live...
@@ChrisInUtero hi
gey otacon
Shadow Moses...
Codex never forget
A Hind-D?
Home... At least it was before i fucked everything up...
Oops wrong game lmao
A cuantos nos ha marcado MGS1
This song will forever be tied to my childhood.
Año 2023 y es hasta el dia de hoy q escucho este temon y se me cae una lagrima, gracias Rika Muranaka. Kojima cabron alto juego te mandaste 😊🤘🏻
I was 10 when I first heard this emotional song Now I am 35 years old
And still hit me hard
7 years old when I first heard this. I am 30 now, and it's still just as beautiful. This game brings me closer to my father whom I lost 21 years ago. This was one of his favorite song from the Metal Gear Solid games. Unfortunately he didn't get to see any of the sequels, but I played them in honor and always felt it was a way to escape to him, when I had no one else. Now I just carry the torch.
Vocals _and_ flute!? Impressive! It's a beautiful cover, familiar yet distinct.
Thank you! This one is actually really tricky for the guitars, even if it looks like a vocal feature, so I have to draw attention to my bandmates and the really complicated stuff they're doing in this song!
2021. One of my favorite songs from MGS series. Someday, this will be my funeral song.
It is on my list as well.
18 years... 18 beautiful years with this song in my mind.
Played MGS on PS1 in the 90s and now I’m 32 years old and still that year had memories in my head … MGS era ❤️
After 18 years I still have tears in my eyes when I listen to this song.. beautiful
Oh no, has it really been 18 years? ;_;
+Fendera I was 4 when I first played Metal Gear Solid and that was truly the day I was born :'). This game shaped me my thinking my philosophy and my view on life itself :)
+TrueSnake101 lol I was 17 when i first played in 98.
I know what you mean :) I was 10 at this time and this song burned itself into my head I could never forget it. Perfect song for the perfect game!
Fendera I will be playing again.
Remember the day i finished mgs1 i cried that had never happened again in gaming for me
Metal Gear Solid... I remember my life when i played this video game, and this song bring me nostalgy and tears ... it's so beauty!!!

"Snake, what was she fighting for? What am I fighting for? What are you fighting for?"
you need to have many blonde babies with blue eyes... and keep them that way for all their descendent lines... before it is too late. i warning you play metal gear in real life
Absolutely incredible! you and your band nailed it, this song always sends shivers down my spine as revolver Ocelot would say, " You're pretty good "
Haha :) Thank you! I'm glad to hear good things from a true MGS fan~
I never thought I'd hear someone pull off a live arrangement of this song. A beautiful performance and a refreshing perspective to a song burned into my mind for over 20 years.
"You're pretty good" 👉👉
shadow moses snaaaaakkkkk!!!!
!
nice picture😊
Well, I had a terrible day and for some reason found your video on a random facebook page , listening to your singing made everything go away , so thank you.
Oh, I wonder how I wound up on a random Facebook page, but I'm glad if my singing helped you feel better at all. Hang in there!
Hi Lauren :) I'm Irish, and you did a great job with the language! Your band is brilliant. If you ever come to Ireland let me know, maybe we can record some stuff together. I'm with the Irish Video Game Orchestra :)
Oh gosh, I've actually always been a little terrified about my pronunciation, although I tried very hard - so thank you, this makes me feel a bit better ♥
Played MGS for the first time in 1998, I was 15 when I heard that song for the first time. I'm now 41... this piece of music is a time machine to my youth. I can't hold my tears of nostalgia.
So many years since I first visited Shadow Moses. It's incredible what one videogame can do to your life...
Video games used to be beautiful, man. Even to this day, I'll never forget my favorite video game back in 2001.
20 years passed and this still gets me emotional. Beautiful video! Loved your performance!
Thank you!
You can never experience hearing this song for the first time and you can never play MGS1 for the first time again. What a sheer beauty both of these things are
Kojima would be proud
I keep coming back to this, even now.
Lauren and Lauren's band thank you for this indescribably beautiful performance ❤
Waiting for the obligatory "Sony Is A Shit In Our Mouths" joke.
the white mage robe :)
Felipe Pereira
OOhhh. that's what it is. I don't know why I just thought "clown". White Mage makes more sense 😅
I think I'm more of a red mage/bard at heart, but the white mages have the cutest robes!
I need to play that game again
Keep your waiting huh?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"Snake... We're not tools of the government, or anyone else. Fighting was the only thing... the only thing I was good at. But... at least I always fought for what I believed in..."
After all these years, this song still gets to me. Thank you.
Bring me back to Shadow Moses
That ending with this song haunted me and I just couldn't believe the goosebumps and the way that ending made me feel. Right up there with Walking Dead (TellTale) ending for me.
Like a beautiful Gaelic voice
I would've loved to had seen this live. This song still gives me goosebumps. Such an amazing performance!
StakeJade We're going to be playing at a bunch of other events in various places this year, so maybe I'll see you sometime? :)
For 25 years, I've been carrying this song in my memories and singing it from time to time in my thoughts.. And Sniper Wolf across my thoughts too :3
It wasn't long before I could picture that scene in the Alaskan wilderness...I could see the caribou! This was a beautiful performance!
Aşkı hatırlıyor musun
Yaralı bir kalbin aşkı
Öyle bir heves değil
Sonsuz bir aşk
Artık lekelenmiş
Artık bozulmuş
Şimdi git ve
Şimdi git ve aşık ol
I was 18 years old when I finished metal gear solid 1 game , this song was the end of the game it’s make all my motions alive ( the best yet to come
As an Irish person i thought your Irish pronunciation was really good. The song itself, like most songs in any language, stretches and shortens certain sounds for scanning but (assuming you have no previous knowledge of the language) you did an excellent job.
No previous knowledge of the language, so I will take this as a huge compliment ♥ I did my best to emulate the sound of the original, and I had a friend who understands a different related dialect help write out a phonetic approximation. I'm glad it comes together well enough! I at least know what the phrases I'm singing mean in a direct translation, and I try to convey that as much as I can when I sing. So thank you, thank you!
Wow metal gear love
Wow Lauren, you are very skilled and tallented with the flute and your voice. I'm a big MGS fan since I was a teenager. Thank you for this version and regards from Argentina.
2020 one of the best Songs ever!!
Se vale llorar, cierto?
"Ahh..... overhead view.. just like old times... Overhead view... that's more like it"
This is Snake. Colonel can you hear me?
Wow very nice
First time I listen to this song I was a 12 years old brat, and my mom was passed away a week before so this song brings these memories back.
😭
That bit at 1:10 made my eyes Liquid
One of the most beautiful songs that you don't need to understand the language to be able to appreciate
Nice to put a face on the theme song to my childhood
It's just a fan cover - I am not the original singer! But I'm glad if you like it :)
IS NOT OVER YET
Playing this song live is a real tall order!! SUCH BRAVE MUSICIANS!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙.
Uno debe aceptar estar encadenado al destino...ser dirigido por los genes.
Los humanos pueden elegir el tipo de vida que desean vivir. Lo importante es que elijas tu propia vida.Y luego... vivas."...
Increíble está canción cada vez que la escucho, escucho hablar a solid snake en mi cabeza
never played mgs, i dk if i ever will, but i'm so inveseted in this whole game i can't, it keeps making me cry for no reason
When I was 14 I always heard “Sonys the shit in our mouths.” At 2:33 mark. 🤣
Beautiful, I have tears in my eyes
Son: why you always cry at this sing dad?
Dad: it all started when I was your age in 1998.
Best Game ever and this Soundtrack best😀😀😀😀
Great job lauren 8D I would have fainted singing in front of that audience haha
HollowRiku - Moisés Nieto They had three giant screens overhead where they showed closeups of us! It was crazy! Fortunately, one of my friends had seen the theater in advance, so he pulled me in to look at it the day before we performed so I had advance warning. I mean, by now I'm used to singing in front of an audience, but this was in a completely new category for me! :o
If you want to see, I took a photo of the view from the stage at the end of our set:

Well, after that I can officially say you have some talent and quite a beautiful voice, I hope you'll keep making more beautiful covers like this in the future.
Squalliver Oh, thank you! I plan to keep making more and more covers, with the band and on my own :)
Gaming got me into some amazing music. This actually makes me emotional
There are some really fantastic pieces of video game music out there! This one is beautiful and it's also so unique, as video game music goes.
I am a grown man and this performance brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful voice and performance, sincerely.
Can taste the frost in my mouth hearing this shit
It brought a tear to my eye hearing a song so well in my native tongue.
