I have lost count of the time I have used this when I was studying. It works well but, at the same time, brings me great pain. Thank you Yoko Taro and you who have put this together.
Both this cover and the original are beautiful. But the only sad thing is that I cry no matter which one I listen to… The video owner's love for that game is conveyed to everyone, and we are deeply grateful to you, ありがとうございます
It took 18 seconds for tears well up in my eyes. I never cry, even when I'd want to. Man, Nier is something else. Thanks for the vid and the crushing nostalgia I guess
I usually listen to Nier ost to go to sleep and accidentally stumbled upon this. Thank you for covering these beautiful songs. Absolutely outstanding job, you really captured the music so well that it made me so emotional while trying to sleep lmao. Thank you for this and keep playing the piano because I can tell that instrument was meant for you
Every time the past or the future weighs on me, I lose myself in the present. I often forget this, but every time I hear these beautiful melodies, everything becomes clear again and my inner self becomes calm.
Here to tell you you 110% should. Even if you want to start with Automata you can. NieR: Replicant and NieR: Automata are two of the best story driven video games I’ve played in my life. NieR: Replicant is a lot darker than Automata once you complete route A but that doesn’t take away from the amazing story and music.
@@onyxserenitatem7636 I think automata is much darker. Existentialism is almost not present in replicant. Meanwhile it's center stage in automata. I'd elaborate on why, but this fellow above us hasn't played it yet. But the argument would stem from 2B and 9S tragic relationship and various events and moments In the game surrounding machines and type E units. A good example just by name drop without spoiling anything is simply this. Pascal.
I feel you, I used to listen to NieR's OST without having played any of them. One day I saw Automata on a discount so I though to myself "why not, the music is at least fire". Now it's one (ifnot THE one) of my favourites games of all time. Just one advise if you start with automata too, don't stop playing until you hit Ending E.
Nier music holds a special place in my heart. I’ve always loved the series, the lore, and especially the music. As a very musically oriented person (I used to perform and would go into the music industry if it wasn’t so volatile) I feel like it speaks to the listener. That mix of wonder and melancholic sound speaks volumes of memories across several playthroughs of every game within the series. And yet, now, I can’t listen to them without crying. All because I miss the true awe inspiring feeling of when I first played. The incredibly crafted environment, to the gameplay, to every little bit of world-building. The music reminds me of all of those moments throughout the game and I long to re-experience that first playthrough all over again. It makes me cry, but not of sadness, but of longing of that experience again. Savor the moments you have with whatever you may be doing. You experience that high of life once, then it will never be the same. Enjoy it to the fullest.
I don't know anything about the game, nor played. I stumbled upon this Playlist looking for relaxing music to play for when I work on my clients. It was only just now that I actually saw some clips on Xbox and I was like hmm... Nier...? I like the music from this game! It's been a little while since I had saved this to one of my Playlists. Surreal moment!!
@@Saiege it’s a truly wonderful game that has changed my life. It speaks upon the mortality and fragility of life, whilst holding a compelling story. I could not recommend it more if you play videogames
Wild. I saved this video a while ago to listen to, but never got a chance to listen to the whole thing. It's probably a year later now and my bf was scrolling through xbox and Nier popped up. My first time even actually seeing what the game looked like. I had to pull this video back up to make sure this was the game! And here i am. Now finally getting to listen to this entire video❤ I cried. Thank you
These songs have accompanied me in my study times for many years. They have always felt so out of this world due to just how beautiful they are. It's surreal that a human can play these so well ! Insane, big congrats, thank you !
I believe I followed you after first hearing your cover of Nier: Automata a few years ago. Haven't gotten to listen to your playing in awhile since a lot of things have happened. Glad to see you're still active and thanks for doing what you're doing ^
these covers are unbelievable, you play with such grace and feeling. you also happened to choose all my favorite tracks from both gestalt/replicant and automata and i think the ones you picked lend themselves especially well to piano cover! thank you so much for sharing your art with the world, i know i'm just one of many who have been moved by it :)
I greatly appreciate the inclusion of Kuroi Uta. There are a number of Nier fans I've known who haven't played Drakengard 3 & 1 and don't realize its significance in creating what would eventually be the Nier timeline. This was a remarkably beautiful rendition and makes me tear up a bit, simply because Zero is one of my favorite protagonists in the Nier universe.
I mean, they pretty much only need to know the ending of Drakengard to know how it's related to Nier timeline, the rest of Drakengard lore, while interesting, aren't neccesarily impactful to Nier
@@Randono1919 drakengard 1 and 3 are INTEGRALLY linked to nier, to the point where a certain character from DR3 just showed up in the automata anime. Concepts like the angels/watchers and the dragons are extremely relevant to nier, and you can't really get that without the DR games (not that i recommend people playing terrible games when they could look up the info on the wiki...)
@@kishinslayer2228 Accord has been wandering around Nier long before the anime, but she wasn't necessarily impactful to the world, only playing the role of observer, the most significant presence is probably her dealing arms for the Resistance, but that about it. On that note, angels and dragons are relevant during the events of snow in summer and probably persisted until the end of the Legion. From that point onward, everything else that happened in Nier, while are indeed caused by Drakengard, are now independent from its influence. That's why I said people only need to know the ending of Drakengard to understand how Nier happened and not the entire lore of the game
Chewie, I followed your channel for the Nier music many moons ago, stayed for the Clannad musics, nice piano voice, eggscellent pianist, great and clean artwork!!! thank u for the musics
your cover of Kaine/Salvation ... 🤌🤌🤌 edit: ... and then Emil/Sacrifice came on and I was left in awe again. I'm just gonna curtail future edits and assume I'm going to be beside myself every time a new song comes on. Well done with this. I am a fan. 👏👏
Thank you for making this Nier Playlist. I have been listening to this for days, this just fits my current studying mood. There are also some new tracks I got to hear and really liked, the ones I originally wanted to hear were "Vague Hope" "Weight of the World" and "Kaine/ Salvation" but I found myself liking each track, it just feels so sentimental and makes you contemplate quite a lot...Thank you once again!
Your piano music is some of the most beautiful and emotional I've ever listened to. Combine that with the feelings I have after beating such an amazing game, and I'm almost driven to tears.
I feel emotional pain through this playlist yet I haven’t played the game for some how…… The tracks are so melancholically covered. I was studying then all of a sudden I gaze at the roof thinking of mistakes I’ve done. 😞 Good job! 👍
I usually listen to some OST of NieR and NieR automata, by random choices i ended here. Just a few notes and i knew that i would listen something beautifull. I was right, so gently, so sweet, maybe sometimes bittersweet, you had me feeling every piece :) PD : your versions of Emil, and Kainé( two pieces that i listen from the piano collections), just so sweet. Keep going
I just found this video from my recommendations, from listening to other NieR piano music and wow. I think yours is the best I've came accross so far... so mad I haven't seen this before. Really good and clean sound, not to mention the superb playing itself... there's so much emotion and depth from these tracks. One can tell you've put your heart into them. The improvisations are perfect, and the calm and slower pace is so soothing, makes me wish they made these as quiet versions for some songs in the games. I'm in love with this version of Amusement Park and Hills of Radiant Winds, they are so different and lovely! And that Weight of the World, Vague Hope and Kainé made me tear up a bit (ok, a LOT). Completely made my day, thanks so much for sharing this and grats for your talent! ;-;
I've never played Nier, though I still plan on doing it, but I've been listening to it's soundtrack since I've first found out about it from Animenz... Hills of Radiant Winds gives me goosebumps every single time, what a beautiful piece.
Oh my. I was listening to this video while washing dishes and my throat hurts like I am being choked, and at the same time remembering all those PTSD Sidequest. Lmao! Anyway. I like it! Idk why but Nier Replicant/Gestalt Music always makes me feel emotional. :)
The Amusement Park is hauntingly good, especially during the Roller Coaster scene, it just feel melancholic, that an Amusement Park was made before the Humans was all gone, it was build in hope of bringing entertainment to families that are long been extinct and 2B and 9S trying to figure out about what "Humans" were. My other favorite is also the True Ending song Weight of the World, the choir made it memorable when you finally do ask for "Help" from others and realized humanities always been working together than fighting alone.
It's like being alone in a submerged lost world where you are staying there for all eternity while reminiscing about the pain of the distant past. Lost forever in this oblivion. So beautiful, so melancholic, yet so dark amidst being bathed in light.
i feel like replicant/gestalt ost was a bit derivative, and by that i mean it took a lot from classical music - movements, passages and other things. automata's ost feels more original in these terms, while yes, there are still many things derived from classics (although i can't for the life of me remember the names and even composers), it has its own face and feels authentic and piano covers show that like nothing else could in my opinion thank you for this compilation, i finally managed to put my thoughts into words thanks to it edit: grammar
absolutely beautiful. nier music keeps getting taken down on yt so finding covers is the next best thing, and this one is equally relaxing and moving as the originals
![Final Fantasy 7 LoFi Mix - [1Hour]](/img/n.gif)
Each note is like a drop of water falling into a dark and tranquil pond. Very beautiful
Relaxing? Every single one of these brings from deep within me primordial pain.
Same :,)
accurate
The soundtrack is beautiful, but very melancholy I agree.
Decided to check it out out at work, started crying 3 second later. I can't enjoy Nier music anymore :(
couldn't agree more :)
I have lost count of the time I have used this when I was studying. It works well but, at the same time, brings me great pain. Thank you Yoko Taro and you who have put this together.
I literally go to sleep with this every single night for the past 6 months. Your version is the best on the internet. God bless you!
Same! It's the only video I can depend on to get ne out of my head and relax and fall asleep
Both this cover and the original are beautiful.
But the only sad thing is that I cry no matter which one I listen to…
The video owner's love for that game is conveyed to everyone, and we are deeply grateful to you, ありがとうございます
Kuroi Uta in this made me so happy, you have no idea. Thank you.
Same bro
It took 18 seconds for tears well up in my eyes. I never cry, even when I'd want to. Man, Nier is something else. Thanks for the vid and the crushing nostalgia I guess
It takes one track it all comes back...
i took 11 ha you lose (this is the best ost ever glad you like it too)

Thanks for the kind words :)
@@ChewieMelodies Can you provide spotify/flac download link for the recording?
agree just few minutes it really help when i want to sleep
never grow tired of this..
I never get bored listening to this music. I listen to it almost every night before I go to sleep...
Every time the past or the future weighs on me, I lose myself in the present.
I often forget this, but every time I hear these beautiful melodies, everything becomes clear again and my inner self becomes calm.
what a beautiful statement, your first one.
The second I heard "weight of the world", I started tearing up. Beautiful
Nier music is always so lovely ;-;
its honestly one of the crappier ones, peacefull sleep is pretty good as well as the amusement park since its the one with highest clicks on the track
@@lelagrangeeffectphysics4120 bro let ppl enjoy their shit
Whenever I can't sleep, I listen to pieces of NieR and just fall under a deep slumber and let the music take me to dream land
Played both these games for the first time some weeks ago, and prosessing them for a bit, both have probably snuck in to my top ten games ever..
everyone needs to play them
i've never played nier but this entire video is almost always on repeat when I'm on my PC. Thank you

This is so beautiful🥹
All of the piano, and the Nier style of the thumbnail are awesome👏👏👏
Your cover is the best against all other covers, i can feel the emotion you put in your fingers.

A few seconds in and I can already tell this is going to be a journey listening to this. Thank you!!!
Playing it right now, the soundtrack of this game is captivating, and your covers are phenomenal :)
Thanks for sharing.
NieR songs are so painfully beautiful. Thank you. Just saw in the sidebar you did Endwalker melodies as well. I'll check that out next.
bro this should be on the youtube music. 😢
This is one of my few song lists that can be play when sleeping
amen.
Finished the game last week, this felt so good to listen to now 💜
I hope the game was good!
@@ChewieMelodies It was, loved it!
Oh my god i love it! an hour of nier music. Immensely beautiful. Thank you so much
Nostalgia hits like a truck. A bittersweet feeling remembering kaine and weiss squabble

Binging all your videos rn, as soon as ill start learning the piano imma get all your arrangements, you are a genius.

I love this being on spotify, this can easily be on my top artists
Heard this during a stream.. I had to check it out...simply beautiful
And ya I subscribed
Thanks for listening :)))
This playlist gonna be my funeral songs!
Lets goo
lmfao..

Great piano skills! A little sad there was no Song of the Ancients but nonetheless it was great and helped me sleep thank you!
Very good and relaxing melodies, they gives sometimes those sad vibes and that "That's life, beautiful and cruel" vibe
Great playlist, thank you 🙂
this is beautiful and v relaxing to listen to while i paint!
absolutely beautiful. nier music keeps getting taken down on yt so finding covers is the next best thing, and this one is equally relaxing and moving as the originals

Love so much the main desing.
