VGM #54: Undertale (Undertale) Ft. TeraCMusic

[@The-MoonbearX]

My wife and I had this as our "Guests entering" music at our wedding. It was amazing. Thank you.

Nods thoughtfully and approvingly and takes mental notes.

[@user-xi6tp8di3v]

OMG ICREDIBLEEE!!!! It's a dream

[@Kacper42PL]

Well, guess that's a plan of mine now, for this song to be a core memory not just as the emotional ending of Undertale, but also for this... .... Like if I even ever had an opportunity anyway

[@ChrisBabaganoosh]

*sad banjoing in the distance*

[@bandiriatraveler8343]

It's amazing. You wouldn't think it'd fit in, but it does so perfectly.

[@SoundsideSherry]

"You should be smiling, too." "Aren't you excited?" "Aren't you happy?" "You're going to be free." How this cover fits those final remarks so well. Fantastic job, Ace!

[@booberryparfait]

A long time ago, a human fell into the RUINS.

[@ObtuseWaffle_]

Injured by its fall, the human called out for help.

[@AAIIGI92]

This gives me goosebumps... in a good way. However it is not sorrowful, I can happily listen to such bliss. When I die someday, I want this song to play in my funeral and golden flowers to be around my casket. I am filled with Determination to get this song cover, one of the best covers I've ever listened to!

[@HeWhoEnjoysTehVids]

Story time! also crying time. . . grab the tissue box, it only gets sadder from here. . .

[@LittleJayneyCakes]

This is really, really beautiful. Wow.

[@Zodikal]

Isn't it amazing? Toby is a genius, having that oldschool 8-bit music through the game and then at the end he writes a piece for an acoustic guitar... how can one not get emotional when you finally understand that the music is for the monsters. And at last you get to feel their hope, they're soon going to be free while you walk towards the end, to your death, and yet it feels acceptable because of the empathy this song gives you. It's amazing.

[@couriertx]

"Aren't you excited? Aren't you happy? You're going to be free."

[@DeanDip]

I commented on this the day it was released, but didn't give it enough praise for being such a beautiful song. All the instruments used hits the emotional strings just perfectly. I feel this video is criminally under viewed especially compared to other Undertale song covers released around this video's release, and this cover is my favorite cover of any and all Undertale song covers (not just the self-titled track, but of all tracks)

[@The8BitDuke]

You guys brought it, with this. There's emotion, there's skill, there's passion, and it comes through effortlessly. I've know that you, Ace as well as Austin were excellent musicians, and now seeing Tera's work here as helped me find another talent artist to follow on KZbin, which is awesome. Undertale's a really interesting game, and has powerful music on its own...but this rendition brings that emotional throughput even more forward with your selection of instruments and the unique flair you give all your work. Bottom line, I knew this video and song was going to be good when you first told me about it....but you blew right past any idea I had. I can see why it's your new favorite video, because it's just become mine as well. Thanks again, all of you, for putting this together....it's nothing short of amazing.

[@AmieWaters]

+The 8-Bit Duke With all my videos, I want to capture the feelings and the emotions that came with the music. I could not have done it justice on my own, and am so happy to have amazing friends who can come together and make stuff like this.

[@PartyC4nnon]

Hearing this beautiful song fills you with DETERMINATION I'm serious. This has moved me. It's the middle of the night after a very frustrating day. I was unmotivated, frustrated, anxious about an upcoming semester in college, and feeling kind of worthless. I'm going to bed now, and I can't wait for tomorrow to come so I can tackle it. Because you've given me the DETERMINATION to face it head on. So...thank you.

[@AnakhaSilver]

This is amazing. This is exactly how this moment in the game feels. A friend described it as a tear-filled hug. It somehow manages to be both hopeful and hurtful. It makes my chest tighten but also I feel like it's uplifting. Congratulations. You both captured the duality of this song perfectly.

[@jasminereyes6740]

Hearing the violin, piano, chiptunes, guitar and drums all at the same time, fills my face with... Determined tears of joy and sorrow...

[@KHAFx]

I did not cry but i caught something on my eyes, huh? what is it?? TEARSSS

[@stezo2k]

damn I was gonna post that!

[@KHAFx]

stezo2k Well too late buddy.. PUNishments From sans are the most hard consequences so get ready for a new hard life xD

[@iamaperson1089]

I didn't cry either.. I'm just :sniff: sweating through my eyes.

[@NexonPlayerNA]

The banjo works perfectly. It harbors that sense of quirky serendipity the game absolutely teems with. Once the banjo kicked in with the main melody of "His Theme" in the background, I had to bite my tongue to hold back tears simply due to how fitting the instrument felt for Asriel and his character's sense of innocent familiarity. The banjo's a simple instrument, whimsical yet honest, unashamed yet modest. Perfectly fitting for such a beautiful, brotherly character. I love him to death, and hearing such a powerfully effective representation of his entire persona hit me deeper than I thought possible. These aren't tears hitting my laptop. These are liquid happiness.

[@1farin]

*tears up*

[@swordsmancs]

Never hold back tears my friend, never be ashamed to let em flow I’m right there with you and my cheeks got that happiness rolling down them too I love you brother, keep it real

[@MinyMiny]

Dear gosh this actually made me tear up. When those drums kicked in, I got so emotional. Excellent job you guys

There are now tears everywhere Thank you Ace for reopening my Undertale wound

[@AmieWaters]

+SixteenInMono think how hard it was to record and mix this! I was a mess.

[@Betsy7Cat]

+Ace Waters I get that so much, like sometimes the hardest part of singing a song isn't the technical aspect but that I'm trying so hard not to cry and have my voice crack

[@amisner2k]

Phenomenal...I challenge anyone to find a better rendition of this piece. Stunning. Beautiful. Pristine.

[@droop3497]

I tried so hard not to cry, but I lost it at 2:53 and continued to sob throughout the rest of the video.

[@TeraCMusic]

+Cecil Palmer You're welcome ;)

[@tania3253]

I came from an UT-Geno animation, and whenever this part plays I immediately cry...

[@comitalcrash9762]

[@mattdog1000000]

Never heard of this game... Now I gotta check it out thanks to this. Fantastic music.

[@cloud43323]

You should it's a good game

[@RiotGearEpsilon]

+Michael Peterson It's well worth your time. Avoid spoilers until you finish the game! You can _actually spoil_ a lot of the magic of this game if you know too much going in.

[@bbasil7588]

It's not a good game. It's an AMAZING game! It's brilliant, and clever, and sad, and happy, and amazing, and... amazing. can't find good words to describe it...

[@gentac4518]

+Michael Peterson I second what +RiotGearEpsilon said, the furthest i went before playing it was Jim Sterlings 15 or so minute play through of it, which is where I first heard it, he does not spoil anything but hints that many things will have an effect later on and how the mechanics are suppose to work. It is a very unique RPG, in a good way.

[@q394ht9eg0]

+Noah Stevens before I played myself, I watched like 5 mins of Cry's playthrough, and thought 'I need to experience this myself,' it was such an amazing experience.

[@otakon17]

Four years old and this still hasn't even broken 500K views, an absolute shame for such a fantastic rendition. No matter, still love it.

[@Dragon_Fire_2468]

6 years...so close!

[@Foxpawed]

7 years, it's finally there. I blame the fact that it's impossible to search for the song Undertale (from Undertale) properly.

[@TimberPuppers]

Ahhhh man that was super duper beautiful! All of you did such an amaaaaaazing job! Touched me right in the heart.

[@RockTheJake]

Man, this was so beautiful. Ace, you did wonderful at creating a landscape of sound to get lost in. Austin, you laid it down on the drums so well. Fit the tone of the song so well. And Tera, my GOSH, Tera. Just beautiful use of your violin. I can't love this track enough.

[@TeraCMusic]

+Rock The Jake Thank you so much! Ace is just incredible at arrangements, and Austin's drums were perfect for what the cover needed.

We're coming up on five years now, and I still listen to this all the damn time. Thanks yet again, Amie, Tera, and Austin.

[@cliffworsfold1994]

I listened to this song for the first time in a while today, and I was thinking "I hope someone made a cover, breaking down all the parts and individual instruments." I was not disappointed.

[@Nighzmarquls]

This performance took me back. And it's perfect. So many tears.

[@TR-gv2oe]

That violin solo just tore me in two. I'm trying my best not to cry. I'ts so beautiful.

[@Kailova07]

I was going to try not to cry, but then I only lasted about 2 seconds before bursting into tears like a doof. This. Is. BEAUTIFUL! Dat acoustic! Dat violin! Dat... EVERYTHING!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

[@TheRealColBosch]

It's been two years, and I still find myself coming back to this video. Today was a very bad day, but seeing Ace and Terra helps a lot.

[@bandiriatraveler8343]

TheRealColBosch 2 years, wow, time flys.

[@BasedVidya]

This song still makes me well up when I listen to it. It's sad and comforting at the same time. Thank you, Goat Mom.

[@ForrestFurst]

I know nothing about Undertale, but even going in blind, this was a fabulously enjoyable listen. Great job all three of you.

[@NickolaiBoulton]

Dude, I have been listening to your Ruins cover over and over again, but this... THIS!? This is one of the best tracks you have done, I don't consider myself much of an audiophile, but this arrangement gave me a half-chub. Amazing work as always, my friend!

[@selinnazsur2328]

I lost count on how many times I've hit the replay button so far. This cover is life

[@selinnazsur2328]

pukingfrosty​​ I AM a very homogenized person, full of faith in people and life, and integrity. So thanks for your compliment, friend. It's hard to find kind strangers these days. :)  (and by "homogenized", I meant in peace within myself, not "conformist". I am far from forcing my own ideas and feelings in shape of unnecessary norms.)

[@clockwork9001]

does people forget about loop function? or is just to express your love for this song

[@selinnazsur2328]

Juan Espinosa​ To express, mostly. But as much as I love something I can't listen to it like 1000 times back-to-back, so I don't use loop.

[@anthonysylvester740]

This is easily the best Undertale cover on KZbin and still to the day I cannot understand how it does not have more views. Everything is just amazing especially the violin lead. Thanks guys.

[@zaglamir]

I love it when you sneak in unexpected banjo or mandolin or TeraC. This is one of your best. Well done, everyone!

[@GameLarkRemixes]

[@TheCanadianPuppeteer]

Hello there, I thought that it was important to let you know that a user on Soundcloud named Cheezi~BIT55 uploaded this song under the name "His Theme Remix" without any credit given towards you or TeraCMusic. Additionally, this isn't the first time they have stolen someone's cover or remix, there are songs from insaneintherainmusic, Gooseworx and M. Bulteau on their channel. As someone who respects music and the people who arrange/cover it, I felt it was important to let you know of this person.

[@TeraCMusic]

I just put a comment on the track. Definitely should at LEAST have us three credited.

[@TeraCMusic]

***** It is on Soundcloud, not KZbin. Idk how copyright claims work on that platform unfortunately.

[@benperry4336]

Soundcloud essentially has no copyright system as there's no money to be made in it. I see uncredited stuff on all the time

[@countereclipse]

actually, there is a copyright system there. I tried uploading a song and it got taken down the moment it finished uploading. Not from Teramusic albums, btw.

[@benperry4336]

There's so much stuff on Soundcloud that can't be found unblocked on KZbin (specifically I can think of many anime tracks)

[@itsacharcoalice]

If I didn't have a size limit to my ringtones I'd have this as mine, so I could listen to this platinum every day. That banjo makes me tear up; it's so good.

[@ShoopDaWoosh]

5:26 By the Nine, that's incredible! Literally speechless. _Literally_ unable to articulate right now why I love that so much.

[@vixxcelacea2778]

Could anyone please tell me the ending song that plays after this one? I can't find it anywhere. This song is so awesome. Even if you know nothing about undertale, it sounds sad, yet a little hopeful all at once. The exact feeling you get when a story ends and feels endless, yet so far away, like you're slowly chasing after it. Love this cover, especially the violin because it's my bias instrument.

[@AmieWaters]

+Vixx “Sinvanor” Celacea click the "ruins" cover in the top right on the end card! Also, thank you so much!

[@FormThisWay]

+Vixx “Sinvanor” Celacea Do you mean the True Pacifist ending song? Because that's called "Reunited".

[@BishopHavel]

Always the best six minutes of my day. Thanks Ace.
