[@affensind]

Thanks, I appreciate it a lot!

[@edoardcirsmar2100]

I have an Uni exam in few day but every time you upload a new arrangement I have to stop studying for university and I learn your arrangements. That's how good your arrangements really are, I almost feel guilty having them freely. Thank you so much for your effort, that's really much appreciated

[@zrATT_]

Thx

It's on Netflix. Watch it now.

[@fleabagandfinch]

I haven't seen the show or heard this song before but the melancholy feel and energy is just incredible, what an amazing performance!!

[@djbakasan]

The show is a genuine masterpiece. The praise that has been heaped on it is more than deserved and isn’t hyperbolic. The visual art style, the cinematography, the story telling, sound design, and music are all just dripping and oozing with passion of those involved. The scene from which the song is used in the series is particularly powerful-arguably amongst the strongest scenes in the show so far (as of the time of this comment, only 6 of 9 episodes have been released). Give it a watch.

[@unknownwarrior5672]

The whole season is out now. Go watch Arcane

[@SillyRamen]

If it feels incredible now, you should see the scene this song is used in. Gave me goosebumps and I've been listening to this song every night now to re-feel the passion and emotional energy of it. It will be so much more impactful if you see the show for all the context though, otherwise the clip of the scene on its own won't make much sense and you'll understand why it's so emotional. Overall, HIGHLY recommend this show

I have to say this this is the BEST PIANO VERSION of this song we will find, there is no one better than this one! Beautifully done, every note is played in a perfect timing, the power, the transitions, everything here is liquid gold! Cheers from Venezuela

LYRICS : [Verse 1] Hold the die, your turn to roll Before they fall through your fingers Not a good night to lose control Right as the earth is unraveling You play with your blocks until they break And these walls come tumbling down Oh, they're tumbling down [Pre-Chorus] You're out of time, make your move Live or die while the fuse is lit and there's no turning back [Chorus] Kiss your perfect day goodbye Because the world is on fire Tuck your innocence goodnight You sold your friends like guns for hire Go play with your blocks And now you'll pay when these walls come tumbling down Oh, they're tumbling down [Verse 2] Resting on a knife, you heavy souls With all this weight buckling down on you now Don't you drown, and float away Not a good time to lose control Right as your marionettes cut their strings and run away [Pre-Chorus] You're out of time, make your move Live or die while the fuse is lit and there's no turning back [Chorus] Kiss your perfect day goodbye Because the world is on fire Tuck your innocence goodnight You sold your friends like guns for hire Go play with your blocks And now you'll pay when these walls come tumbling down Oh, they're tumbling down

[@yuniaamaya7472]

AM I DREAMING? 😭💗 I've just started to see Arcane today and, listening this song on piano is a dream, wow, for real. I was very happy to hear Woodkid singing that song, and now that you've made a piano video I am even more fascinated. Thanks caliko, you are the best ^^. 💗

[@rogerross4391]

OMG ARCANE MUSIC, ISTG this show is so damn good, idk how it is for ppl who never played the game, but for me, seeing the characters I played for so long and that I love being brought to life it’s simply magic, specially the way they’re doing, Arcane feels so realistic, every character is so human, it’s amazing. But well this is about the music lmao, the whole soundtrack like you said it’s great, i specially loved the one that played during the last run in ep 6, gotta go and listen to it again. And your playing as always beautiful, great arrangement as well, it reminds me of another league of legend OST but I can’t put my finger on it now, however I hope to listen to more arrangements of this show!! Thank you for this one

[@Caliko]

I've never played the game and I have no context, but the show still is absolutely amazing to me! Everything is perfectly easy to follow, it really works as a standalone show as well, it's honestly impressive!

[@rogerross4391]

@@Caliko yess absolutely, actually even those characters, I never thought they could be any interesting, maybe besides Jinx because of her crazy personality, but they did an amazing job at showing us their background and story and making them interesting and relatable, I can’t wait to see other regions of Runeterra(the world of LoL) there is still much more to see and im all in for it lmao.

[@hammadsiddiqui2355]

I haven't played the game past the tutorial and some AI matches, and it was fucking incredible. Everything good I have to say has been said 10x over, but the music, the visuals, the writing, everything. This show is up there with Avatar The last Airbender and is definitely one of the best animated series of all time

[@clova1311]

I have never played League but easily the best show i have watched this year. Might even be more enjoyable as a non LOL player as I dont know which characters are legends and are protected by the fact that they cant die

[@rogerross4391]

@@clova1311 Lmao thats true, but tbh i hope they dont hesitate to kill one of them if needed, it would boost this show 300% if you dont know whos gonna die and who wont, well i guess thats how it is for u guys lmao

[@cheshireshadow518]

It has that perfect somber mood hhhhhh Thank you kindly for the gorgeous cover~

[@Caliko]

Thank you kind stranger 👀 Hope you're ready to yell over the third batch with me

[@BioDestiny]

This song make me cry, amazing.

[@affensind]

Wow, this is amazing! I've listened to this song way too many times today after finishing episode 6. I'm struggling a lot with trying to figure out chords (in general, not just this song), so I'm looking forward to your sheet music. Also, as someone who didn't play league, do you have a favourite character? Mine is Heimerdinger and after playing him for 5 years or so I'm happy that he is in Arcane even though seeing sad Heimy broke my heart a little today. Edit: I just noticed I actually got the chords right for the chorus, kinda happy with myself :D

[@Caliko]

I don't think I can pick a favorite, I love half of Arcane's cast for different reasons!

[@daf4ever]

Amazing cover. You think you could do one for 'What could have been' from episode 9? I'm not good enough to transcribe it ^^'

[@Caliko]

Yeah!! I'm working on it as we speak, I'm trying to get it out asap, but it's more difficult than this one so it'll take a day or two longer!

Okay, I died when I realised that you're from Poland! I didn't expect this :D I found your channel today and I can't stop listening. I'm also a pianist from Poland, but now I create more original music than covers. I want to be that skilled as you are! Good job ♥

I'm always super happy to see other polish people in my comments! Good luck with your playing ^^

[@Karulik]

I honestly think you should try to do "Goodybye" from arcane, the way you effortlessly play the piano would mix in with melody of the song

[@johnmichaelarellano9162]

What a lovely rendition! I can almost feel Jinx turning into the crazy character she was portraited from the game. Sorry for the spoiler haha. Any salty League players here btw?

[@riceshot9981]

Ye just played ranked with jinx, lost game with team blaming each other.. I hope the last few eps can make in-game jinx personality justified.. even though I hate Powder turning this way ;-;

Hey, I am absolutely obsessed with this song and you played it beautifully. I would love to learn how to learn it But I have no clue how to read sheet music. Do you have any tips?

[@ash_ish]

Look like I need to watch this show now. I was planning on not watching it. As it didn't seem interesting to me. But you made this video so now I have to watch it. Btw are you still playing genshin? and how far are you into genshin. And for the song, I really don't know. I will come back again to this one after finishing that show, will update you later. It seems like if you like this show, then I may too. Until then bai bai, c u in the next piece. And glad to see another upload. 😏

[@Caliko]

If I make more people watch Arcane, I've achieved what I set out to do here 😏 I started watching it on a whim because my friend was looking forward to it, otherwise I probably wouldn't have seen it. It really caught me by surprise with how good it was! As for genshin, I play whenever there's an update to the area or story, so I'm up to date with that, finished everything in Inazuma. I'll admit though, that even though I've been playing a whole lot of its music, I just never get it to a level where I can record it, or more music comes out with an update. I'm still hoping to do that medley eventually
