![Shadowlord Theme | MOST EPIC VERSION [HQ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/FpXKVtnDvMQ/mqdefault.jpg)
WHO LET HIM COOK
Bro cooked a masterpiece with the A5 wagyu he already had to work with
@@kleox6138 to be fair, its pretty hard to improve on A5 wagyu
Is this in a good or a bad way lol
@@luxaniel IN A GOOD WAY
We all did...🎉
This is the good ending. Shadowlord won, shades returned to their bodies, humans and androids defeated the aliens together and befriended the machines.
And emil gets a happy ending :c
Lol which bodies? I thought it was a clone lol. I have mistaken all along
The next game of yoko taro, sources my cousin.
@@jinbloodedgeNo, Emil will be the only one suffering again. All his close or not so close friends are dead.
@@gefallenerengel1306 yeah, but he can meet new friends
Absolutely amazing how the themes of the two shades wanting nothing more than complete themselves to be with the ones they love could work so well together...you know what forget if this could be the "Louise VS Shadowlord" theme. This feels like the "Louise and Shadowlord joining forces against Nier" theme and if that actually happened, Nier wouldn't have stood a chance!
Agreed. I mean, the only reason he survived route A and B is because the Postman attacked her
Or even better a tag team match of this duo vs devola and popola
I saw video somewhere devola and popola discuss about them. If the Shadowlord run amok they gonna use Louise to fight him her power alone can one on one with shadowlord
I mean nier didnt stand a chance in the first place, they basically loose out of depression. Like they just stop trying to fight and accept the death that might put them at ease.
@@justhereforpeace Shadowlord could technically adopt Louise as his little sister and both could live happily ever after but noooo Yoko Taro likes to destroy us so hard
10 months already passed?
I'm still getting literal chills, you are a genius, I never realized that shadowlord and fleeting words would literally melt together like this
Hope these comments send this video back to the algorithm
DOKTOR!!!! INJECT THIS REMIX DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS. THERES NO OTHER WAY
Glory to Memekind!
With all due respect to gestalt Yonah and the Postman, Louise was the perfect, Shade little sister Shadowlord could've asked for and Shadowlord would've been the perfect man to learn from in terms of wanting to be whole and gain family; Louise was the Yin and Shadowlord Yang since they harmonize well with one another.
PS. If they had worked together, no one had any power to stop their want to be whole and have a family on their own, not even either Weiss or Noir.
I LOVE the idea of them being a family together. Very sad we'll never see it happen.
@@JonathanBarouch To be fair it's better that way honestly it would have just hurt way more, knowing Yoko I can already see the feels from a mile away
I want every song from this game melded into my soul
please
You mean your Gestalt?
@@jinx1987 forgive me. Yes.
They already are, my friend
SAMEEE
Holy cow I adore your take in this mashup. You allow both themes to establish themselves into the song by changing between them with different blends and parts. It actually does follow the structure of a song with proper themes, pre-chorus, chorus and bridge, with both songs interchangeably taking the roles during different parts of the song. Magnificently done!
Thank you so much!
3:43 hits so haard. I got chills. Keep cooking 🤌
The pure harmonies of voices from 3:55 until the end… heavenly
I would have never been able to do the link between those 2 songs, yet they fit perfectly, thank you for the work and the mashup
0:24 probably the best transition I've ever heard.
Wonderful. Immaculate. The blending of sounds makes for such an impactful cacophony, a beautiful mix of noble and barbaric feelings. Beating drums draw out the tension in this theme. The organ and its echoes are so divine, like the misunderstood shades in this story. The piece at the end where the music box and the piano play against each other if even for a moment really reinforce the distinction between these two people.
I hope that for all your skill proven in this remix alone that you only keep going strong. Videos like this, and ones where you cover the intricacies of other songs, are some of the best kinds of content on this platform, and it's hard to find others that do it like you.
This is one of the sweetest comments I've ever read. Thank you so much!
@@JonathanBarouch No, thank you for having the motivation to try and the skill to succeed.
Nice, now we can feel pain like never before, double the tears, what a deal!
Thanks Jonathan 😭
Great work as always! 💜
If they worked together, and helped by Devola and Popola, NieR and friends didnt stand a chance
I ONLY DREAMED YOU'D ACTUALLY DO THIS!!!!
It's even more beautiful now that it's out in full glory, bless you 😭
Ok.... The mix at 2 minutes may or may not have made me shiver.... Seriously a masterpiece, thank you so much.
Back seven months later. I can't add another like so I'll add a pointless comment for the algorithm. I'm still in awe of the way you explored these pieces, exposed their bones for us all to see, then rebuilt them in greater glory, united in their strife and, in that process, laying our own souls bare. From my husk to yours, my thanks.
Never even considered the idea of these two osts working together, but here we are. Absolutely phenomenal… (esp from around 3:55)
This mix of Wordslord was pretty dope. You know the way you have them really looks like they're about to drop their album cover. Thanks Jonathan for indulging your Following with this!
Mutually beneficial! Now I get to listen to it too hehe
This has got to be one of the best things ive heard in my life. The similarities and differences between two songs entertwining, exactly depicting how Louise and the Shadowlord might be 2 different entities, having different wants and circumstances yet they are both shades of enourmous power and shared the same fate; death in the hands of the same replicant.
I wasn't really expecting for you to come through with the mash-up but I guess everyone wanted it the moment you pointed it out in the Fleeting Words video. Thank you so much for sharing this and I'm going to treat this as a very special advance birthday present 🥰
Happy birthday!!! I'm so glad you like it 😀
🗣🗣WE GETTING OUR BODIES BACK WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥
I'm still constantly listening to this masterpiece. I wish there was an extended version of this.
I can't believe I'm seven months behind of this. And the others as well. I'm not an expert on music theory but somehow every single explanation started to make sense when it's being demonstrated with the notes. I play advanced level violin but that's about it.
And i can't believe I couldn't notice such striking resemblance to the overall structure of both! They literally made a masterpiece on the soundtracks. Every single one of them. And you made this mashup applying all the discussions you had on the Nier Music videos!
All this time I've played the Nier Series, from the PS3 up to the remake and Automata on PC and it always sounds as glorious as the first time I heard them.
Now you had to give me twice the mental trauma for this but damn it's all worth it! Love your content bro!
You play advanced violin and that's it??? Give yourself more credit, that is incredibly impressive! Especially since you already play an instrument that can produce multiple notes at once, I bet you could learn the rest of music theory pretty smoothly if you ever had the itch.
Absolutely immaculate inclusion of counterpoint here. It was hard to imagine Shadowlord feeling any more powerful, but here we are. I fully believe you've arranged something remarkable.
THE MIX??? WE'RE EATING GOOD TONIGHT THANK YOU LEGEND
I am a huge fan of the NieR franchise and that goes for the soundtrack as well. Here I am thinking that no one can just mix great songs together without ruining their specific feeling to it but you actually proved me wrong and it's absolutely INCREDIBLE! You managed to keep the NieR Vibe going so it doesn't feel off for one bit, respect
"You asked for it, and I heard you!"
"You" in this sentence being Devola and Popola being frustrated their kaiju battle they had planned never happened because Replicant NieR had to ruin their fun
fr fr
Incredibly well done!
I know we've done enough NieR for now. But I would absolutely love a deeper dive on Rays of Light and Shade from Automata someday. I've been obsessed with those two songs and how each reflects the current point of the players emotional journey at the times you first hear them / their varied versions.
We will ABSOLUTELY be talking about City Ruins in the future. Don't yet know when... but yeah. This is one of the top 10 most requested NieR tracks, and it's also one I love.
@@JonathanBarouch did somebody already asked for a analysis of Lord of the Caslte (KH CoM) or Forza Finale (KH3) ?
@@aryaeliadel3094 A couple folks have asked for Forze Finale, but no one has said Lord of the Castle yet! It'll be a while before I can get to those tracks but I've got them both noted.
@@JonathanBarouch YAY! Thank you so much... those two are my favorite and you've already cover much of my fav ost (both NieR and KH (i love the XIIIth Struggle)). I have to check if im subscribed because i havent realised that all those videos were from you (i watch a lot of OST analysis.... i spend my life listening to OST and playing them to violin and piano and i indeed did recognize those "blocks" thing you mentioned in XIIIth struggle in Lord of the Castle and a lot of others and that actually really smart indeed...
(I speak too much)
EDIT: I was already subscribed...
I've just found ur channel a few minutes ago, was listening to ur explanaitions of a "The Song She Couldn't Sing" and then I come to THIS!
You make me feel feelings I didn't knew I have them.
I just love how tragic Nier Replicant is..Louise and Shadowlord broke my hearts and I really hoped with one of the endings for some justice in the sake of ATLEAST shadowlord..god I can't, I love u already my man..
studying earing this feels like the divine grace has been revealed to me
Ok, i wasn't expecting this when you said you were going to make your own mix. This was beyond what i could've hoped for, having both melodies have an epic yet beautiful collide with one another was so good for the ears. Don't get me started on 4:24 when the strongest resolution of both songs crash and meld together so perfect, trully well done 😍😍🥰🥰
When he did the transition in his analysis I was foaming at the mouth and that its a full mix im fucking ascending rn. This is soooooo good. I might die lmao
Damn I remember when this barely had 12k views now look at it. No surprise at all this masterpiece was able to hit half a million in just 11 months. Congrats man! I’ll be on my millionth replay when this hits the big 1M.
I've listened to this at least once every day since I found it. This is amazing
Still listening to it
Babe wake up, Jonathan Barouch posted a Nier remix
You touched on this point briefly in the video on "Fleeting Words", but theres absolutely no way that this is coincidence how they work.
While is theme is still so unique to each character and portrays them each perfectly, these are the themes of the two shades who were almost human. Who wanted nothing more than to be human. I think that much like the different versions of "Song of the Ancients" can vastly differ yet carry one underlying narrative theme, these two songs represent a second underlying narrative theme to the game. Again, one of those things that so few people playing the game would ever notice, and that's the beauty of the games.
Both Nier titles were an experience that just stuck with me. Both in themes and soundtrack there was something that made me always think about these stories and now, listening to the mix of two soundtracks that i never saw so much conjoined, i feel like the first time i played Nier replicant. It is a nice feeling, thank you for this music!
This is the theme for that theoretical scenario that Devola and Popola spoke about. If Nier failed, Louis was their backup to eliminate the shadowlord.
Plus je l’écoute, plus je suis accro à cette harmonisation❤️
Merci, mon ami!
Thank you Jonathan, I am crazy to Nier gestalt so much, after your Shadow Lord analysis, I learn how to import emotion when I play that song, and learning Emil piece right now, looking forward your next Nier video.
That's so wonderful to hear! I look forward to the time I eventually make a video on Emil.
Wow! awesome mix, It is incredible how well they complement each other.
Idk how many times I’ve replayed this song but this is truly a work of art.
THIS IS SO GOOD I HAVE NO WORDS
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Dude, I award you with the biggest award I can award someone with.
The platinum Fallen Elmaik with a huge pepe with incrusted diamonds for outstanding achievement in the field of musical excellence.
Would you believe me if I said I dreamed of this moment?
@@JonathanBarouch in this world, at this moment, there isnt a single reason as to why I should doubt of your word. I wholeheartedly believe everything you wrote is entirely true.
this, i dunno how else to say it, makes me enjoy feeling alive. crazy piece, very nice work.
Bro just dropped the coldest mashup and refused to give us blankets. Amazing work though! Been having a shoddy weekend and listening to this cheered me up a bit.
Song just shattered my heart.
Thank you for combining my two most favorite NieR tracks.
I really love how you made them sound together, especially 3:55 gives me goosebumps all over.
You didn't force passages together that didn't fit just to mix them. You knew exactly when to seperate the tracks when needed while not making the transitions feel sudden or out of place.
Hope you continue your great work!
YOU DROPPED THESE KING
[old schoolbook]
Nah at least give him a broken wristwatch or subdued bracelet 😭
I've just watched your video on Fleeting Words like 2 hours ago and my mind was blown when i hear these two songs fits so well together, and now i found the full version from the man himself. THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN!
Thank you for uploading this, I like how you find a way to blend both of these pieces.
Don't get me wrong. This track right here kicks so much ass and hit me with so many chills. The emotion of both of these tracks crashes over me like a hurricane of wind and waves.
I'm loving. You ate and left no crumbs.
Just mashed together two of my faves from the Nier 1.22 OST. Thanks for all the wonderful music breakdowns!
Made for each other. Thanks for blowing my mind in your analysis video and now sharing the full version
This is utterly incredible. I'd love to hear what you could do intertwining and mashing up motifs and other musical themes from the game in ways that make emotional sense.
The call and response part at 3:55 delivered me to heaven. Or wherever these two are going
The fact that both these songs fit so well together still amazes me to this day.
You just took my two favorite boss themes from this game and combined them into a beautiful duet.
Im lost for words how amazing this sounds. Great job man.
can't ever get enough nier and now my ears can double fist spoon shovel twice as much nier with this mash-terpiece
I wasn't ready for the last few seconds, I teared up, emotions swelled in my chest, almost cried, the memories of your explanation, the choice of instrument reflecting the tragedy... So much brutal sadness I had a hard time enduring. Masterful choice.
It took me many listenings to really appreciate the new things that were merged here. But now that i'm more familiar with your style, i think the two resolutions that hits at 1:53 and 4:22 are one of the best there is. It feels very powerul, and the voices over the crashing instruments are just so intense that it gives me chills. Amazing work !
You're a Genius dude, mixing these 2 up... This is easily in my no.1 playlist 👍👍👍👍
I didnt know how much i needed this
Very beautiful I love your nier analyses keep them up. Next you should perhaps do Mourning or A Beautiful Song
I can't do next, but I'll bump them up in my list!
Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Sir, you might be God. Thanks for creating another wonder from these masterpieces.
instant goosebumps, it sounds so good
I finished Nier Replicant about a month ago and i'm so grateful to have stumbled upon your videos! Truly made my experience even more meaningful (even though i don't understand about 90% of your music theory XD).
As long as your relationship with the music improves, I've done what I came here to do!
I can't stress how this made my day better. Thanks a lot and keep up the great work!
this is my fave nier mashup
This came out so good! Tysm I've been waiting for it since the fleeting words analysis!!!
Absolute chills! This remix is so good
I’m so glad you made a complete mashup of these songs, I already adored the little snippet from one of your previous videos, thank you 🙏🏻
Just found this by letting youtube auto play do it's thing and not paying attention. So happy I did, halfway through I pressed the loop button and have probably listened to this like 12 times now.
He actually did it, the mad lad!
I cannot stop listening to this. It's been like a month of it on repeat now hahaha. Thanks so much for putting this together and making such incredible music theory essays on both songs!
this is wonderful. a beautiful combination of my two favorite songs from the soundtrack. thank you SO much for including a download link.
This is fantastic, thank you for this mix
Oh my god I didn't expect this out so soon. You are incredible!
I first came across your 'why you still think about shadowlord' video. Came across the video where you explained fleeting words and now I am here. Thank you for the work you do. I enjoy it immensely and this mashup is gorgeous
Honestly can't stop listening to this. Such an epic and emotional arrangement/remix!
1:55 could either be "oh my god what am I doing to these people" or "these two ambush you together in an alley. what do you do?"
I'll have to say for the replicant remaster though louise made quite an impression in her route A. gave you no clue it was a scripted loss, just let you struggle against a life bar that refuses to move for 5 minutes, go on run out of all your helpful items and feel hopeless
Just came across this channel, and this remix is a masterpiece, amazing work!
The lost vestiges of humanity, our final remains, the Original Gestalts
this is perfect. both songs are perfect on their own and you have combined them exquisitely
This was GODLY. You're a Genius!
Probably one of the best mashup/remix I've ever heard. Keep cooking my guy!
Thank You for your videos Jonathan, always a pleasure.
Gonna need to hear more like this chief, goes hard af
My two favorite songs, amazing work dude
Love it... this is so good!! Love the arrangement 👍👏👏👏
Man this remix brings back memories, felt like i was taken back to when i was 10 years old playing nier gestalt on my Xbox 360. Very amazing mashup between both, i hope your channel will grow more and more. Keep making good stuff 👍
Absolutely stunning, best remix I've hear by far. ❤
I appreciate you showing the EQ or like intensity of the songs via color. I love these mashups but it can be hard to tell what’s what, especially since these two already act like rounds for each other anyway. So, thank you, very neat!
すごくよく出来たremixで何回聞いても飽きない、So Hype!
ありがとうございます！
This is an incredibly well done mashup, what an amazing 6 minutes. Well spent!
Amazing! I love this so much.
Holy shit!!!
This is absolutely chef's kiss man!!! I hope to see what other mashups you got
cuando pensé que ya no podía quedar con más daño emocional, aparece este mix
Hey, alguien que habla español, por fin
Me estaba sintiendo solo apreciando la música de NieR :')
