Weight of the World (Cover)【Milky feat. Community】NieR:Automata

- Maybe if we keep believing, our dreams will come to life... -
This is my 100K Subscriber special. Thank you all for your support over the last 8 years here on KZbin.
I hit the mark on November 26th which is exactly one day after my 8-year YT anniversary, that was a funny coincidence :D
I actually started this project about 2 years ago? Using it as special now was the perfect opportunity and I took the chorus lines from back then as well as those offered by my super cute community on Discord to make a chorus project which I hadn't done in so long.
This is also the very first time I animated a video in After Effects. I've been learning it at university lately and wanted to test my beginner skills for this occasion to bring in something truly unique.
Some of you probably know from how much I talk about it all the time but NieR is my favourite game-series with a very special place in my heart and so does the entirety of its soundtrack. Weight of the World together with the multiple existing versions is a perfect round-up of the bitterseet story that is NieR:Automata and if you haven't experienced it yet then you should totally do it!
I wanna thank everybody who participated, everybody who is having a look at the stuff I create and those who at some point thought "Hey, I like this voice/music so I'm gonna subscribe!"
Onwards to the next year, thank you all for listening and I hope you enjoy it!

The weight of the world isn't so heavy when we're all here to carry it with you.

[@Milkychan]

Well said 😭

[@awitt629]

The most wholesome comment I’ve ever seen anywhere :)

[@Lawnchair.]

Copied comment, but i do like it

[@ryansparks2131]

I'm pretty sure that's the meaning behind the ending e version of the song

[@minorukoyama2944]

"Milky offers help, do you accept it?" "Yes"

[@kibusaurusrex84]

*beginning/Milky sings alone* "This must be the most beautiful thing that i've ever heard in my life.." *community sings with Milky* *CRYING* "I guess my heart just exploded .. This was so magical and beautiful .. My heart is crying with me .. I felt all those kinds of emotions from every single one of you .. It's just so beautiful and i just love you all so much .. " .. usually im the quiet one in the community .. .. But i needed to say this . This is beautiful . I love you all so much 😭❤ ..

[@Milkychan]

Awwh that's too precious haha ;w; Thank you so much and don't fear, the quiet ones are just as appreciated w

[@AryaViotta]

I'm crying.... so happy to be part of this collab... Well done everyone Q_Q And especially you Milky, thank you for putting so much effort into this - it is appreciated by us all!

[@Milkychan]

HNNG THANK U FOR PARTICIPATING MARIA!!!!

[@jukeboxjimmy8722]

This is the one true cover of this song. It truly captures the spirit of what this song means and shows it how its ment to honestly be portrayed especially at the end with the wonderful community jumping in like what the chorus at in the original was cuz if you didn't know the chorus at the end of the original is actually made up of the dev team for the game, including Yoko Taro himself and both groups love the person/thing they helped grow.

[@Glennkabob]

Remember, don’t delete yourself when cleaning up memory

[@trickturne]

Hello?? God?? Yeah, I think you accidentally sent one of your Angel's down to us.

[@ArkinesVT]

I SECOND THIS

[@jharuldsmythe]

are you sure it was an accident

[@Ghouly0918]

a tad bit late but preach!!!

[@lyssnicole]

Milkys voice is an angels voice

[@chronotaru6411]

As the Gods in Nier:Automata were humanity, then...that means this song is from God's own voice!

[@midas2092]

Milkychan I just stopped having existential dread You just made me redownload the game y

[@Milkychan]

Biggest accomplishment ✨

[@midas2092]

@@Milkychan this vid is a hell of an accomplishment Also Nier Automata is my Deus ex. All you have to do is mention it to get me to reinstall. (Assuming I'd ever delete it)

[@kapunga_]

This song is one of the best soundtracks in NieR: Automata and your voice fits sooooo perfect

[@Milkychan]

Ahh thank you!! And of course thank you for participating w

[@selesia865]

Top 5 Weight of the World Covers: 5. Nika Lenina 4. Sati Akura 3. ChiyoKo 2. BriCie 1. Milkychan There are no words that I could describe this masterpiece. (Seriously, I cannot think of anything XD) But coming back, you really good sang and animated this clip. But the voice of Marina Kawano (original voice) cannot beat anything :D . Good luck with learning Adobe Effect ;D

[@awakenedcrowl]

Amazed to be a part of this. The song, as well as the lovely community. The way never ends :3

[@Milkychan]

Thank you for joining on the way

[@ruiruii96]

100K sub special-> Involved your community members. The best way to show your appreciation for all the support you've received throughout the years. Well done Milky, this is so amazing!!

[@Milkychan]

Thank you Ruii ;u; This would never have been as good without the community

[@DemoniacWW]

Just gonna say. I really enjoy the effort you have put into this. This was the last work I was waiting to watch/listen from you on somewhat of a personal level. Everything was on point and the art had a really nice touch to it. You even came up with a nice way of going around the problem of having everyone saying "but I'm only one girl". I'm glad to have been part of your community and having watched it grow even when I can't be around anymore. Thank you for everything, hope all goes well from now on and I wish all of you the best~

[@Bakasilisk]

Thank you for all your hard work over the past few years and especially for mixing our always perfectly sung lines into that chorus that sounded amazing in the end :>

[@Milkychan]

All lines 100% flawless, heh Thank you very much w

[@Goras147]

Amazing! The video is a nice variation of the game assets and the song with your voice and voices of the chorus was just great!

[@ArkinesVT]

Congratulations on 100k you deserve it! It's such a great work it made me cry😭 I absolutely love the chorus! EDIT: HALP I can't stop listening to it! I am in an equal mixture of Awe wonder and amazement! Also I can't stop crying. Milky, what magic did you weave into this song?! I think you managed to save the world with this here song.

Another great cover.. your voice fits perfectly with this beautiful song.. idk why I get so emotional when I listen to this. The animated graphics are pretty good tho. I can see how much effort u put on it.
