S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat - Live to Forget [Cover by DAR] | 「 ENGLISH 」

- So, a bit of a detour here since I really REALLY wanted to try covering this song (plus, the new game is set to release later in April). Also quick disclaimer that these English lyrics may not be 100% 1-to-1 accurate to the original Russian version.
Shoutout and thanks goes out to "Игорюня Play" for suggesting that I do something from the STALKER series. Thanks also goes out to Vilison for lending me his ears and critique as I finished up the audio!
Work on this cover goes hand-in-hand with my recent and ongoing mixing-experiments. In particular, this was great practice for vocal mixing. This is probably the first time that I've mixed vocal tracks straight down the center in the stereo field. This was something I always had a hard time with, since I would treat vocals the way I treated my guitars: double-tracked, panned left and right (to varying degrees). While that approach didn't necessarily sound bad, it did have its shortcomings.
In short, better use of serial compression, reverb and stereo delay send/aux-channels was what I was lacking all this time! I'm very happy with how things wound up turning out!
I really love this track, its rather sorrowful and melancholic, yet also beautiful-sounding. I did my best to stay faithful to the mood of the original. I did change up a few things in the process though. Mainly, I had changed up the vocal harmonies, as well as some of the lyrics.
Speaking of which, I sure had a hell of a time cobbling together the English lyrics used in this cover. While there were a few translations already out there, none really musically fit the vocal melody. So, while referencing these fan-translations and machine-translations, I had to try and make things work musically, and thus had to reinterpret some lyrics. Now, I hardly know any Russian, but I tried my damnedest not to stray too far from what I thought the original meaning of the lyrics were.
Also, I must say, there's this small, silly satisfaction with rolling my R's and just overall singing with my best attempt at a kind of Russian / Eastern-European accent.
Lastly, messing around with the whole stylized lyric video was pretty novel and interesting for me. I quite enjoyed laying out all the lyrics, this is something I'd definitely do again for any possible future vocal covers!
Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed my rendition of Call of Pripyat's credits song! ~DAR

This one is the good shit, i'm telling you. this is the peak of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Covers
Прекрасно, мне нравится, вышло довольно атмосферно. Радует что с этой чудесной песней продолжают работать.
Wow, the song, the vocals, the editing, this is a whole new level
It was very unexpected to see a remix of music from the game Stalker. Greetings from Ukraine.
Fuck the war man, real enemy is called presidents, to hell with zelensky and putin
Damn. This really hits different now.
the man DELIVERS
4:39 😳very good pronunciation of Russian words
Good cover, I like this ❤
Translation is better than firelake's english version, and you also sang "Time to live" in russian, 10/10
WOWW!!! IM LITERALLY SPEECHLESS HAHAHAH! THIS IS AMAZING. The stalker may leave the zone but the zone will never leave the stalker...
TIME TO LIVE AND A TIME TO DIE.
This slaps ngl. Good job man.
I was looking for this kind of cover since I ended the stalker games. Thank you so much for this piece of art, the music and the edition of the video is on point
i listened to one firelake song and now i get amazing small creators like you.
Man this is brilliand good job fellow stalker you managed to make good sounding english cover Nice
Nice cover of my favorite song! Btw there is English version of life to forget made by firelake, and imo this is definitely better translation because you left the original meaning of the Russian lyrics.
Amazing job, dude! It's freaking awesome!
That was very good!
[Verse 1]
We dig through the moments as the centuries pass
Turning into the dust of all their hopes
Leaving nothing but bitter footprints for the young
In all of our memories rest the ones held dear
And the sounds of laughter as the children played
All that’s gone now
And only tears upon the stones remain
[Chorus 1]
Beyond the shadows of our dreams
We suddenly remember the past
Recall the pain in our children’s tears
We live with it all
Time to live and a time to die
We can’t stop time, dreaming of another life
You can’t bring back what’s been lost and gone
Yet I’m kneeling now, pleading for reprieve
[Verse 2]
The life on these screens cursed to all repeat
How the truth hurts more than any dark fiction
We’ve all forgotten our greater calling from above
Dead leaves still cover this entire Earth and behind the trees lie abandoned homes
All these people will never return to this town
[Chorus 2]
Beyond the shadows of our dreams
We suddenly remember the past
Recall the flaws through our children’s tears
We live with it all
(Instrumental)
[Chorus 3]
Beyond the shadows of our dreams
We suddenly remember the past
Recall the pain in our children’s tears
We live with it all
Time to live and a time to die
We can’t waste time dreaming of another life
We can’t bring back what’s been lost and gone
Yet we kneel on down, pleading for reprieve
Time to live!
Time to live!
Time to live!
Time to live!
(Instrumental)
[Chorus 4]
Time to live!
Time to live!
sorry if it's a bit wonky to anyone more experienced in lyrics and stuff, i just had to do this for a school thingy and decided i might as well post it here
BRO, YOU ACTUALLY KILLED THIS.
Wow! This was a very unexpected cover I'd find you'd go for, one of the most memorable tracks from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series, thank you!
really well done, one of my fav songs
good hunting stalker :)
If anyone wants to learn the lirycs then i recomend slowing the video to 0.75 speed, it helps me
So i figured it might help others
For all whom want to read/sing along with the lyrics, I've just now made a lyrics page which can be found here: theofficialdavester2296.wordpress.com/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-live-to-forget-english-lyrics-by-dar/
Hope this makes things easier for everyone =). ~DAR
This is amazing, bratan
welcome to the zone stalker
Went and got a Audio Mixer Program just so I could listen to this and increase the volume even more, Beautifully done.
love this!
Thank you for this song🔥🔥
great cover!!
Good Hunting, Stalker.
Awesome cover!
Рад что есть каверы на такую песню)
Вышло очень круто,порадовало что ты решил исполнить ее в стиле метала
Круто
respect from Russia!)
@@markvalentine9119 Да, Россия. Что тебе не нравится?
@@De_Vizeus успокойся, он сердечко изобразил символами.
@@markvalentine9119 cringe
Awesome!
Holy god
Dude, this is awesome. I just put my vocals on it from your instrumental video; it's on my channel. Of course I credited you!
Great music. Glory to the zone!
MAKE MORE!!! MAKE MORE!!! stalker is my favorite game since 2021, man this game's osts been my best friend throughout my life
Yeah, STALKER's OST is great! I'm planning on trying to make a cover of "Dirge for the Planet" sometime later in December or maybe in January. Really looking forward to covering it!
@@DAR-Davester2296 that's great :DD
your covers are very good my dude, can't wait for more :))
MASTERPIECE! SPOTIFY PLZ greetings from Argentina
Thanks! I would really love to be able to put this cover up on to Spotify (and other streaming places), but unfortunately due to some technicalities and the way that cover licenses work, I am unable to.
Its not completely impossible, but much too complicated to try and distribute it. It'd be easier to re-record the vocals in Russian, just like the original. Because as far as I understand when it comes to cover licensing, translated versions of a song are considered "derivative" which falls under a different kind of license. Whereas the simple and more common audio license is called a "mechanical license".
i have trouble understanding the lyrics in some parts but other than that you did a great job
0:59 also for some reason i like these parts a lot
It’s a great Grunge
Wow, absolutely fantastic. You can have my fully upgraded AK and SEVA suit, may they serve you well in the Zone. 👏👏👏☢
i set the original song as my call ring when i met a girl that i called "dream one", i thought it is finally a time to live.. and here i am again kneeled down, grieving for the past.. i would fit the life of Zone, only if it would be real..
Good
Воу я даже сам так не могу
buen cover 10/10
Never played it but I like this. Any chance of an instrumental only like Bad Apple?
Yep, I'll have the instrumental version out sometime within the next couple of days.
I really hope this song comes back in stalker 2
this has no right to go as hard as it does
🙂❤
Как для меня русская версия получше будет, песня даёт те самые воспоминания)
Hey,i have been looking for the tabs for the solo for this but i cant find them, if you know them could you reply to this please.
Hello, sorry for the late reply! Unfortunately, I don't have the tabs for this, as I had to guess and learn the song by ear. ~DAR
@@DAR-Davester2296 its fine, i know how to play by ear -not very well 😅
Vremya Zhit'
Where can I find the tabs
Not sure if there are any TABS floating around for this one. I had to do everything by ear when I made this cover. ~DAR
Damn, I wish I had that talent
Are you going to create more covers for stalker?
Yes, I plan to try and make an instrumental cover of "Dirge for the Planet" either right before or shortly after the release of STALKER 2. I've also considered doing the epilogue/ending music for Call of Pripyat as well.
@@DAR-Davester2296 Stalker 2 has a big problems. Instead of developing the game, the company began to discredit the Russians, who make up 80% of all fans. The insults were very strong and they angered a lot of people. Not so long ago, a group of hackers posted multiple developments on the game online and there is a great risk that the players themselves will finish their stalker 2. Because the game is only 20-30% ready.
Ah, I had no idea about the hack back in March! Sad to see the animosity going around because of the war. I had been under the impression that the release would be sometime around the end of this year (haven't followed the development too closely lately).
However, if the game is indeed only 20-30% of the way there, it sounds like there's going to be another delay. Even if that happens, I'll still try and make the previously mentioned covers around December (or January, depending on how busy I am at the time!).
Мало хто знає що пісню написав український гурт для української гри…Слава Україні!
Poor audio as well as the theme is not recreated properly
Why the hell are all the English versions so poorly done? Jesus Just just make the singing audible
First off I believe this guy is a non-native English speaker, But hey, If you don't like how it's done why don't you go and make a cover and do all the instrumental for it? Christ it's their bloody cover they can make it how they want.
@@Bruh-d Indeed
@@Bruh-d Yeah, he's a filipino.
All the Souls lost in the Zone will never be forgotten.
