Well, well. At last I've finished this cover. Didn't really make it in time though, sorry guys! (っ- ‸ - ς)
It's always fun covering Sawano-senseis soundtracks, and it's a special one this time. Bios was the first masterpiece of Hiroyuki Sawano I truely fell in love with, it really brings back memories.
I'm really curious what you guys think about this week's cover, let me know in the comments :)

“Oh cool he did a Bios cover! Hopefully it’s not just a re-arrange of the slow Krone version-“ *clicks* *ears explode from joy*

[@MikeReedIX]

Thank you all so much for 5,4k+ subscribers! I'm having a hard time realizing that. You guys are the best!

[@eeveea_146]

Mike Reed You did Based Sawano justice :) Thoroughly enjoy all of your covers soo far. Did you want to do more of his work? He did some amazing tracks for Gundam unicorn. :)

[@MikeReedIX]

Eevee A_ Thank you!! I'm really glad to hear that :) I absolutely love all of Sawano-sensei'S works. One thing is certain.I will definitely do more covers of his music. ət'æk 0N tάɪtn, Vogel im Käfig, StarRingChild, (to name a few) are all on my "to-do-list". :) *You can never have enough Hiroyuki Sawano in your life. That's a fact. Amen*

[@eeveea_146]

[@MikeReedIX]

Eevee A_ ∑(ﾟﾛﾟ〃) Nice!! Thanks! :) Oh, Release My Soul, for a very long time I instantly got sad when hearing that song play. I highly recommend you to check out his OST for Xenoblade Chronicles X, well, if you haven't already. X-BT3, The Way, Theme X and Codename Z are absolutely amazing. Especially X-BT3.

[@MikeReedIX]

Eevee A_ The complete OST is actually on KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKGpeXuVq72JpNE (The names of the soundtracks are in the video description.)

[@NightcoreImagination23]

I LOVED THIS!!!! Bios is my favourite OST ever, and this was freaking EPIC!

[@MonoMino1197]

I've noticed that your really at your best when you do covers of Sawano songs

[@sweetmistakexx]

Thank you for making such marvelous covers!

[@jenzzzzz]

This is so epic. I love it! This is actually one of my favorite track from Sawano Hiroyuki :D

[@earlysmasher]

Dayyummmm.... this channel is always pumping out creative and amazing videos, keep up the good work! I love listening to them :)

[@rosewaterkaren000]

yes! This is exactly what I wanted when I search up instrumental! This is amazing! Thank you so much!

[@NaitomeIya]

Perhps your best cover yet. This is the only cover of yours I've heard so far where the original epicness of the song is maintained. Ninelie was also very awesome, but fell short a little at some aspects. This meanwhile is just perfect. Bios was also the first song I loved from Sawano. Actually, it's the first ever song I've heard from him and I instantly fell in love.

[@Cookiena]

loveee the violin in it! Great work!

[@yuzu8284]

i'm crying while listining to this...it's just so perfect..bless you!!! i really miss sawano epic osts...=(

[@RaveIndigo171]

After nearly a year, this cover is still, by far, one of my favorite songs ever, and the most frequently heard too, hehe

[@eldermac8826]

This is just utter perfection xD I love your videos so much :) Best music out there!

[@n00d13sandr1c3]

Amazing work here, I could actually feel the Sawano vibes coming from it.

[@kises3083]

awesome as always!! thank you and im waitig every week too for a new cover of yours

[@SkullMouseBDD]

OMG.. This soundtrack u made here is AMAZING...!!!! I have always loved Guilty Crown as one of the most beautiful anime in both it's graphics (artwork) and it's music. Bios has been my all time favourite track and all it's different versions are amazing but this was something I have been searching everywhere for. Thank you for this masterpiece you have created. Grateful to discover this in now (2015) and not later. God bless.

[@some1cool46]

I JUST LOVE LISTENING TO THIS!!! The combination of Hiroyuki Sawano and Mike Reed just gives me goosebumps!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[@pianisticanimated3058]

Haven't seen Guilty Crown. Beginning of this OST sounds something like a pirate and really epic! While looking at that picture used in the video, I thought those two were gonna explode and go epic and stuff with the music xD

[@caeluminfire9101]

One of the best song in anime ever.... Thank you a lot!!! Your art is awesome In Spain we used to say..."Mucha mierda y no te partas una pierna!!!" to wish you good luck and cheer you up to still doing your art!!!

[@tasham3196]

A beautiful cover as always. I can't wait to see what you'll do next. Would you possibly consider doing a cover of Me and Creed from Blue Exorcist? It's personally one of my favourite songs from the soundtrack.

[@niladrisarkar1472]

[@JackBellamy1997]

*LICKING CHOCOLATE IN MY DRAINAGE!!!!!* God I love this song! You did it justice sir~ ;u;

Kazuki Kun You are the kind of people that should have their commenting privileges taken away.

[@JackBellamy1997]

Eevee A_ YOU CAN'T DENY YOUR LOVE FOR ME FOREVER!!! XD

[@eeveea_146]

Kazuki Kun Pls, making other people suffer when listening to good songs is hidoi.

[@JackBellamy1997]

[@bkr0403]

[@Kresna_3_TAMA]

It so cool bruh

[@rossonia923]

Die Ruinenstadt ist immer noch schön Ich warte lange Zeit auf deine Rückkehr In der Hand ein Vergissmeinnicht It might be just like a bird in the cage How could I reach to your heart I need you to be stronger than anyone I release my soul so you feel my song Regentropfen sind meine Tränen Wind ist mein Atem und meine Erzählung Zweige und Blätter sind meine Hände Denn mein Körper ist in Wurzeln gehüllt Wenn die Jahreszeit des Tauens kommt Werde ich wach und singe ein Lied Das Vergissmeinnicht, das du mir gegeben hast Ist hier Erinnerst du dich noch? Erinnerst du dich noch? An dein Wort, das du mir gegeben hast? Erinnerst du dich noch? Erinnerst du dich noch? An den Tag an dem du mir... Wenn die Jahreszeit des Vergissmeinnichts kommt, singe ich ein Lied Wenn die Jahreszeit des Vergissmeinnichts kommt, rufe ich dich Erinnerst du dich noch? Erinnerst du dich noch? An dein Wort, das du mir gegeben hast? Erinnerst du dich noch? Erinnerst du dich noch? An den Tag an dem du mir... It could be the whole of the problem Change your body I need you to be stronger than anyone I release my soul so you feel my breath Feel my move Regentropfen sind meine Tränen Wind ist mein Atem und meine Erzählung Zweige und Blätter sind meine Hände Denn mein Körper ist in Wurzeln gehüllt Wenn die Jahreszeit des Tauens kommt Werde ich wach und singe ein Lied Das Vergissmeinnicht, das du mir gegeben hast Ist hier

[@Yanaira128]

Hmm.. Really great cover as aalways, but actually I think it would be greater if the melody would be a bit louder, not sure though. I'm also a great fan of Sawano Hiroyuki, so I was super happy when I saw that you uploaded this!

[@emagvtyuh373]

Nice.

[@BrokeNSings]

Bios

[@lincolnbeckett8791]

Just this alone makes me want to check out this anime. Awesome job, as always. Could I recommend Blumenkranz/Ragyo Kiryuin theme from Kill La Kill.

[@haikyuqo]

Rakeem Beckett-Scott u should:)

[@belgiumkiddo]

Rakeem Beckett-Scott yeah really it is amazing

[@lincolnbeckett8791]

Ok, I'll put it on my list of anime I will watch.

[@belgiumkiddo]

you won't regret it

[@EpicCANoob]

This anime was pretty dam bad in my opinion, characters pissed me off and plot was pretty weak and generic to shounen genre, but hey some people will like it even if it is really generic. As for me, I tend to like romance anime, but only non-cliche ones (cliche ones meaning ones like anohana, your lie in April and kaichou, which are just pretty much redone other ones, especially kaichou which is like a ripoff Special A.) But hey u might like it but it is generic.

[@matiasoliva5864]

If i ever get a daughter, i want you to be the father of my grandchildren. This was so good, it makes me want to hear more ;-;

[@elijahugh3884]

It would be cool if you did a psycho pass opening to season 1 or 2 or the movie lol great job on all your work

[@AggressiveRaccoon]

Hello, can you give me information on what kind of plugins you used in this cover? It sounds absolutely divine when it comes to both mix and arrange ! Im mostly interested in orchestral and modern sounding synths.

[@menmacwan]

Ntaps ntaps ntaps...

[@minliu4702]

It's a very good verson.

[@UnknownBeast41]
