Hollow Knight - Greenpath

YOO NO WAY HE'S ACTUALLY DOING SOME HOLLOW KNIGHT?! Ahh, this is gonna be something. (Please do the entire album)

[@Noted1ble]

Literally my first reaction🔥

[@jacobc4841]

Yes please do the entire album 🙏

[@Moss_Dude]

[@TheGrinningGamer]

Amen to that, fellow Hollow Head. Beauty and tragedy, fear and adrenaline. Nothing hits quite like it.

[@Essential_lyNothing]

This makes me want to play Hollow Knight. Does someone mind sharing the premise of the gameplay and lore?

[@WWentilateur]

@Essential_lyNothing Hollow Knight is an atmospheric action-adventure game set in a beautifully crafted world called Hallownest. You’ll explore vast interconnected areas, face challenging enemies, and uncover mysteries through exploration and combat. The lore is rich and layered, revealed gradually as you progress, making every discovery feel rewarding. If you enjoy games with deep worlds and rewarding challenges, it’s definitely worth a try

[@TheGrinningGamer]

I'm a simple vessel. I see Hollow Knight cover, I click. And, boy, was I not disappointed. Your use of instrument variety while keeping the tone and beauty of the original is insane!

[@InspiredRevelations]

Agreed.

[@fundeztroyer]

haha vessel, get it?

[@Vincent-ni8fn]

It’s cool that you included both the environmental and combat versions of the song. On a somewhat unrelated note: it’s neat to be able to see the harp threads move.

[@thehorse5307]

If you check out the Hollow Knight OST, they actually don't separate the combat version and the environmental one. He didn't change anything, he just replicated it near perfectly.

[@user-xy5yg6se1k]

[@jedcc.]

it sounds like that on spotify soundcloud and i think on youtube

[@younessourouche6949]

the harp's strings look like that beacause of the framerate of the camera

[@BallsTrademarked]

Yeah I fckin love this piece, though my favorite is probably either soul sanctum, mantis lords, or white palace

[@mustafaipek8990]

I love your version of greenpath better

[@frenchtheguy]

i swear the presentation on your videos gets better every time i see one, i mean i remember when each instrument had a box and it would light up when they played, then the non playing started looking at the playing ones and now where hear, and its beautifull

[@DevilsDaughter-d5y]

Hello everyone!! I just wanna say how amazing this guy really is. he came to my school like 2 weeks ago, maybe three, I haven't checked. but he was genuinely one of the nicest and most caring people i have ever met. he endured my classes questions about his workout routine and stuff like that and after that I even got the chance to talk to him and wow, this guy really is awesome. we were talking about how both of us were the only opposite gender in our sections, me the only female trumpet player and him the only male flute player. he made me feel not alone in my situation which I greatly appreciate. he is also so incredibly talented in how many instruments he plays and also just how long it takes for him to make these videos. he is truly an amazing person and really is one in a billion. I never got to truly thank him for when he came to us, so, instrument Manic, thank you so much for giving us a wonderful experience at SCPA!!!

[@nathancrapella9325]

I'm crying with peace right now

[@thesentientdesk]

this was absolutely amazing, this really gave me the feeling i had when i entered greenpath for the first time. Its absolutely magical, and it made me fall in love with this game all over again. Thank you

[@kardinpenner7649]

I have always KNOWN this soundtrack would attract your sheer talent! I am SO excited to see what you have in store for us!!! Keep up the amazing work!

[@NyrocOomara]

This was an absolutely incredible cover! I love you played each of the instruments and highlighted their sections! Hollow Knight has such an organic-sounding ost, and you really make them shine!

[@Korbynnator]

I recommended this one a while back! Glad to see you are finally doing it, its such a pretty song from an awesome game.

[@Lightspeed435]

How is this comment 2 days before the video released?

[@Korbynnator]

He had it set to premiere so I commented before the video premiere.

[@alanpillow6679]

The Hollow Knight soundtrack is about to experience a renaissance!! Beautifully faithful cover, with all the charm, mystery, and energy of the original - but even better because it’s all a live performance. Thank you for this treasure!

The rate and concistency of quality at which this man pushes out entire arranged, instrumental covers of music is actually insane. I know how much time and effort it takes to make this kind of music, and Luke, this is nothing short of admirable, your stuff is awesome.

[@RoyanRannedos]

Thanks for a bit of beauty during a very stressful week.

I love and appreciate your work very much, I ask you to keep it up, because it's really good. I was super excited when I saw the vote for which song to do and Greenpath was among the options. We are all waiting for Silksong and more of your Hollow Knight songs!! Thanks for this Masterpiece! ♥️♥️♥️

[@Soundole]

Incredible! One of my new favourites of yours. It's so impressive how you're able to get a professional sound out of so many different instruments-cor and clarinet are sounding so velvet-smooth in this!

[@liamlangan6329]

So excited to hear the world of Hallownest through your talent!

[@bbradley934]

Let us not forget, Christopher Larkin did this whole thing with VST's (except for a couple tracks) because he was too busy cooking hearing it played on real instruments is incredible, and I would love to hear more

Yo Bobby thank you for joining the premiere stream & for the support, I really appreciate it! Haha Aria has been high on the list as well honestly. Still trying to figure out how to approach it with or w/o a hang drum. Heartache will probably come first but it's definitely at the forefront!

On one side I am truly amazed by the number of instruments required to play this, on the other side is the fact that a human being composed this masterpiece. Like how?? How can somebody can even inspire so many emotions in just one song? My mortal mind can not comprehend, however thank you for your effords in playing this beautiful masterpiece of a song.

[@Emanuel4y]

MASTERPIECE

[@gabereal9252]

This is a genuine masterpiece. Christopher Larkin is an amazing artist, and this cover brings the best part of the best song from the soundtrack, the feeling of it being alive from Pale Court, being that it was a live performance. This version of the the Greenpath theme genuinely feels alive and moving, the breathing adds a lot more than you'd expect, but it feels like you're at a genuine concert with dozens of musicians, it's incredible

[@williamjones5334]

Beautiful! I always thought this score perfectly represents greenpath. It's a little tentative, a little curious, a little excited, and so full of life compared to the forgotten crossroads. You've finally unlocked a new area, you're ready to explore and find new things! But you're also a little nervous, because you're finally out in the wider world and it looks dangerous. Your cover takes that and runs with it. Amazing work as always!

Yet another game i dont know. Awesome Thumbnail though! By the way, you dont have your undertale endcard-segment Video anymore, could you bring it back? Along side with the other endcards, like donkey-kong, gta, zelds, chrono trigger, tf2 and now hollow knight? Thatd be nice. Now, a reminder of the suggestions: undertale/deltarune: sans., heartache, dogbass, snowdin town, all of the temmie themes, an orchestral cover of Metal crusher, CORE, Song that might play when you fight sans (the theme is called that), your best nightmare, with all of the segments, here we are, lancer, rude buster, rouxls kaard, THE WORLD REVOLVING, queen, smart Race (for the Potential comedy), faint courage, HEY EVERY !, spamton, NOWS YOUR CHANCE TO BE A (all three for the comedy), blue bird of misfortune, deal gone wrong, big shot, dialtone. Tf2: right behind you, intruder alert, drunken pipe bomb, a little heart to heart, MEDIC!, Archimedes, it hates me so much, seduce me!, ROBOTS!, Saxtons dilemma, mercenary park. A LOT, I KNOW. Thats just all of the ideal themes for me personally. He doesnt have to do all of them. Anyway, i hope yall have a good life, coming from a cellist in germany
