So, Drill Knight, the chad himself, has my favourite stage theme in the game, i really like the chords, and actually, they were quite hard to transcribe properly, i do feel like i made some mistakes here and there, but that's what improvising is for
For this song, i wanted to use a real life drill and use it as an autotuned instrument in the background, and i'm happy to say that that actually happened!
Furthermore, speaking of drills, have you heard of the rap subgenre called "drill music"?
As a joke, i wanted to implement some elements from the rap subgenre "drill music" into this song, so i tried to study what this music sounded and felt like, and it was quite uhhh, hmm, how do i put it, it's not my kind of music, but i did find certain elements about it quite funny, such as the overly aggressive low distorted bass kicks, so as a joke, i implemented those in the song after the chorus, so we have both a real life drill, and elements from the drill music genre, i felt like we could do no less for Drill Knight himself haha
My usual guitarists i like to hire were all not available during the creation of this arrangement, so i decided to try myself!
That's right, this is the first Sylvysprit song (on the channel at least) that have IRL electric guitars played by myself!
Of course it is very amateur-ish, i am not as skilled as the people i hire, and of course, i prefer them to hire them when it comes to more serious projects, since they're quite important for that, but this is simply an arrange for fun out of nowhere, so there you have it

If you have read this far, then i'd like to thank you for taking your time to listen to this arrangement and to read this, and i wish you a very great day and the best of luck with everything you might be struggling with, you can do it!
Believe in the you that believes in yourself, let your drill pierce the heavens!
