PLING PLING PLONG
This cover was a Patreon request from my fellow memelord Andrew Trigg! Funny enough, even I (a guy with minimal knowledge of Dark Souls asides from watching friends play it, speedruns, and the memes) recognized the tune as soon as I first listened to the song, so I was excited to tackle this classic and iconic piece. Can't believe I haven't covered this VGM piano standard yet, but finally I think I've learned to 'git gud' as the Dark Souls peeps say :P
Funny thing about this particular recording: Even for all the emotional and nostalgic pieces on this channel, the closest I've ever been to having an emotional reaction from performing a cover (besides popping off after finishing a really difficult piece) is feeling cold after playing "Snowman" from Earthbound. I've always seen people in the Youtube comments section of this song and for the related "Soul of Cinder" from Dark Souls 3 say that those three piano notes make them start crying harder than an emo hearing the first G note of "Welcome to the Black Parade". Since I have almost no connection with this game, I thought the same couldn't happen to me, but around 2:05 of the video I actually started tearing up during recording and couldn't stop until well after I had turned off the camera. It's crazy to think about well this song simply captures raw emotions, even without using any fancy techniques or even black keys (yes I made sure not to, just like the original).
Once again, thanks to Andrew Trigg for being a dedicated Patron and requesting this, and just remember: the real patrons are the friends we meet along the way :D Some less-somber-and-serious covers coming up for the rest of October, and y'all already know something sp00py is coming up for Halloween...
Keep on praising the sun,
DS
