Giorno's Theme / "Il vento d'oro" (Guitar Cover) - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure || Shady Cicada

Giorno's Theme. Unironically one of the coolest (...and I suppose meme-worthy) anime songs I've ever heard. This style is exactly what I strive for when it comes to some of my own originals (which a fair amount of you have already heard). Giorno's Theme makes me both fear and adore pianos, because if you're on the villain's side, you know you're in some kind of complex trouble. It's like beating someone at a game of checkers, only to realize that one of the pieces was hidden under a square, but it doesn't even matter because the true checker board was behind you all along. And then you get Muda'd. Basically Giorno's theme in a nutshell. I probably could have said more about the song itself, but I talk about this theme constantly with people. It has just the right amount of style and sass and I truly love everything about it. Perfect song for a great character. Here's my take on it! I hope you enjoy this guitar/rock cover of "Giorno's Theme / Il vento d'oro" from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!
