Spontaneous cover ideas are fun! My friend Kyle Brook did a take on this song a number of years ago, and it's been stuck in my head ever since. I've always known I wanted to do something from the Cave Story OST, let alone this song, but I just needed the right idea.

Enter that piano motif - a super on-the-spot idea that suited that homey feeling I got from the Mimiga Village, and one that could lead to a lot of fun musical interplay. I got right to work and within two days, this cover was all planned out and recorded, I'm definitely pretty happy with how it turned out!

One of the biggest new experiments for me on this cover was trying to do it without a full drum kit, and not using Superior Drummer for more than a kick or snare. I have so many little percussion instruments, and I wanted to see how well I could build a groove using a smaller set of instruments. Considering that drum programming is one of my least favorite parts of the video making process, it was a treat in many ways to try out and I'd love to experiment further with it using instruments like a cajon. Maybe soon!

My next cover will be diving into a medium I've never tried before... I'm excited for you to hear it!!
