Great stuff. A bonus mark for keeping the imperial demeanor thoughout!

Finally putting my "resting accordion face" to good use. ;)

You didnt received a Grenade for sure!!!! Love this!!!!!!

[@Tenems941]

Awesome version man never really watched someone play acordian before, great skills

[@BrendanVavra]

Hey, thank you, glad you enjoyed it! I think the accordion does a great job of emulating the brass sound of the old FF7/PS1 SoundFont for this track in particular, so I'm happy with how this arrangement turned out.

[@Duhemsounds]

Very nice cover, it's not a very often made track, happy to listen a cover of it :)

[@BrendanVavra]

Thank you! Yeah, this isn't a tune most would normally think to cover, and I honestly don't remember what inspired me to do it, except that I thought it sounded right at home on accordion. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Duhemsounds]

Yes that's a great one for accordion :)

Holy fuck it's ReviewBrah

[@moobyghost]

I love it! Is there any way at all you could convert the Opera, or part of it, from FFVI to be played on your instrument? Aria di Mezzo Carattere. If not that, how about the main theme from Shemue? Love your vids man!!

[@BrendanVavra]

Thank you! I think Aria di Mezzo Carattere would sound amazing on accordion - I'll have to look into arranging it. I won't lie, I've never played Shenmue, but the main theme is pretty sweet (not sure how well it'd come out on accordion, though).

[@Koosh1984]

How do you learn your pieces?

[@BrendanVavra]

For most of my covers I start with a MIDI file of the tune if I can find one - otherwise I transcribe it by ear. From there I arrange the tune for accordion based off which parts of the original are most important, taking into consideration the capabilities of the instrument. This tune in particular came from a MIDI file, and I think the arrangement fits extremely well on solo accordion (I even think my accordion sounds a lot like the brass sound from the original game).
