  • A cover of Weight of the World (English Version) from Nier: Automata. An incredibly powerful game that truly suprised and inspired me. Both in story and gameplay.
    Sorry about the missing guitar parts in the video during the verse. The riff was actually added after we shot the video since it used to be a synth playing the lead. I suggest ya'all air guitar that part! :D

    Holy s***! 100k views in such a short amount of time. That is absolutely insane. Thank you all so much for watching and sharing this cover. I love you all!
    Thought I'd adress one question here since so many are asking/commenting about it, and that is regarding the "I'm only one girl" line. I think that what is written in the lyrics are final. I am only singing the lyrics like I am reading a book. I personally feel it would be disrespectful to change it since we all know the character that these words are written by. If I changed the girl part it would no longer be that persons lyrics I am conveying. This is how I feel about it anyways! :)

      To be honest, that is fine. We don't care about that "I'm only one girl" portion of the lyrics. Because for one, you are portraying how you feel with your voice within the song itself and its the originality that counts and I respect that.

      I thought about that the first time I listened to it. I ultimately came to a similar conclusion. It's why you don't see women artists who cover songs about men eyeing that special gal change the respective pronouns. The music was built to fit the words, and the words are meant to fit the music. And you can't reasonably change the lyrics without turning a cover into something not a cover.

      I have two regrets:
      First, doing like EVERY mission I could find because I didn't know chapter select was going to be a thing. So I was super overleveled for 90% of the game and it killed some of the tension.
      Second, 9S's hacking.... I love the guy, his story's awesome, but seriously, fuck everything about having to play that minigame because having to rely on it just sucks. It's a cool idea, but MAN is it not nearly as fun and engaging as it should be.

      I didn’t anticipate getting so emotionally attached to the story. I just did my second A - E play through and I still get choked up about how beautiful it was to me.
      Also, I did an A - E of NieR Replicant and ending C D and E were fantastic. The game wasn’t as engaging to me as Automata, but it was worth every second to experience it.

      Yeah, I'm torn. I consider Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Persona 5 better *games,* but Nier Automata is hands down the best *experience* in gaming this year. (And quite possibly the best in the history of the medium.) Ending E in particular is downright magical - nothing in any other video game has ever affected me the way that moment did.

    I feel like I'm losing hope
    In my body and my soul
    And the sky, it looks so ominous
    And as time comes to a halt
    Silence starts to overflow
    My cries are inconspicuous
    Tell me God, are you punishing me?
    Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes?
    This is my redemption song
    I need you more than ever right now
    Can you hear me now?
    Cause we're going to shout it loud
    Even if our words seem meaningless
    It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world
    I wish that someway, somehow
    That I can save every one of us
    But the truth is that I'm only one girl
    Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life
    Come to life
    After all the laughter fades
    Signs of life all washed away
    I can still, still feel a gentle breeze
    No matter how hard I pray
    Signs of warning still remain
    And life has become my enemy
    Tell me God, are you punishing me?
    Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes?
    This is my redemption song
    I need you more than ever right now
    Can you hear me now?
    Cause we're going to shout it loud
    Even if our words seem meaningless
    It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world

    Even if our words seem meaningless
    Like I'm carrying the weight of the world
    I wish that someway, somehow
    That I can save every one of us

    When I first finished Nier: Automata, I was reeling from the sheer emotional roller coaster I had just gotten off of. So many deep elements in story telling, the emotions I felt for characters that I somehow knew (spoilers) were on a one way trip, and the music score of the whole experience was something I hadn't felt for years. When I got to the final credits and this song was playing as I was shooting down team members names, it felt like I was putting down an old friend to rest. The vocals, slowly building up with English, French, Deutsch, Japanese etc, to a tear flowing crescendo nearly sent me to bawling in my chair, that whole design was absolutely beautiful and PERFECTLY executed. Not since my first time beating Mass Effect (the first game) and hitting the whole ending sequence, the credits and the ending song brought me to tears, it was so awesome!
    You sir, with your astounding musical talent and sick ass hell vocals, brought those same emotions back after a nearly a year! I salute you! ; w ; 7

      I know this is old, but the music changes between 3 versions: English, Japanese, and Chaos, language created by Emi Evans, who made this song and almost all other from Nier and Nier Automata, she made the language for Song Of the Ancients originally from Nier then a remake to Automata. The language is an actual language with meaning made from a mix of French, Deutsch, Japanese and others. She's an amazing composer, singer( she's the one who sings in Chaos language in the songs) etc.

    I hope that your channel gets the exposure you deserve. It's about time that some actual true metal covers gets some publicity. The quality of this video is top notch, as you can tell by the influx of your views. Whatever marketing you've done for this video, keep it up. Even though this song isn't necessarily "heavy" it gave me chills. Although I mostly listen to melodic death metal, and some black/doom, this still is extremely impressive when compared to the so called "metal" covers some other individuals put out. Thank you for a great tune, keep it up.

    Where to even begin. The tightness of the playing and the recording & mixing is one thing. The reinterpretation into a metal style is another masterfully done element. The overall in-tune-ness of each element feeding into one overall harmonically tasty cover is another venerable achievement. But really what makes this? What takes all those elements and turns them into one masterful achievement that will be always be capable of changing people when they listen to you? It's the belief, the passion, the uncompromising oneness that screams itself through your performance that makes this experience one that I'll never forget. This is beautiful and there's no other suitable word for it. Amazing work. Instant subscribe. I see that you're not a super regular uploader and that's totally cool.
