My Castle Town - Deltarune Chapter 2 | Harp Cover

Harp Cover of My Castle Town from Deltarune Chapter 2. Original music by Toby Fox. #deltarune #harp #deltarunechapter2
WHEW getting this Deltarune cover out was way harder than it should have been lol, somehow I recorded it in a day, filmed the next week, and then... a month later no editing had gotten done 😬 So THANK YOU very much to my patrons whose support made it possible to hire out the editing so this could come out this week instead of in another month!!
Originally I wasn't going to do any covers from the Deltarune Chapter 2 soundtrack, but then my Discord server showed me My Castle Town, saying 'oh this would sound so great on harp!' and then the next day I ended up recording it lol! Despite all the delays though, I'm glad I did it because it's about time we had some more Toby Fox music on this channel!
I had some fun with the lighting on this one too :) I hope you like it!
For this song I used the arrangement by OctavianMusic on musescore (with a few harp modifications): musescore.com/arpice/castletown

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoy "My Castle Town" from Deltarune Chapter 2!! Originally I wasn't planning to do any Deltarune but then my Discord showed me this song and I recorded it the next day 😂 And then... I never had any time to edit OTL So a big thank you to my patrons for making it possible to hire Julia Henderson for the mix & master and Peter Gillette for the video edit!! This literally would not be coming out today without your support.

[@MikoHazuki_247]

You have a habit of making Toby Fox's music even more gorgeous than the originals. Absolutely love the new lighting setup, as well! 💚

[@SamanthaBallard]

Thanks Michael! :)

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

When I first heard this in game, I thought about how great it would sound on harp. You’ve proven that to be correct!

[@SamanthaBallard]

Thanks Ahsoka! ^^ And thanks for bringing it up in Discord :D

[@InstrumentManiac]

Just started playing Deltarune and this is a beautiful cover! You made it feel light really captured that waltzing movement ☺

[@SamanthaBallard]

Thanks Luke 🥰

[@TeraCMusic]

I'm so glad you were able to get this out with the help of Julia and Peter! A great arrangement, and the lighting looks really nice! That hairstyle looks familiar too hehe

[@SamanthaBallard]

hahaha yes I had my wedding hair trial that morning so of course I had to film a video to make the most of it XD

[@wolvefy3088]

Feels like i walked into a timeless piece! Your clothes, the harp, the lighting, it's all so, so, beautiful! ♥️

I love how the harp can make anything sound divine and you play it so well

This one works so well on the harp. Chill vibes, and feelings of warmth and home.

[@SamanthaBallard]

So beautiful, as always! Everyone is doing Deltarune covers right now, but I think this one stands out a lot.

[@Harpsibored]

Beautiful!! I love when the high strings come in around 0:23. So pretty!!!

[@SamanthaBallard]

Thanks! That's one of my favourite parts too ^^

[@philipbrowning3544]

Sorry to hear about the time crunch, but Julia and Peter did a great job with the editing. I'm not familiar with Deltarune, but this certainly is a pleasantly calming video after Halloween weekend. I hope you are doing well!

[@SamanthaBallard]

Thanks Philip! Yeah the last few months have been weirdly hectic lol so those two were lifesavers! Glad to see you in the comments again and I'm glad to hear you liked the video! :)

[@mystic-moonlight666]

Glad you liked it!

[@stewartmatthews1551]

Me too ☺️

[@mr_moss5054]

very well done! was this a particularly challenging song to learn, having the luxury of playing a pedal harp? I'm playing on a lever harp and if I'm playing the key changes I'm pritty much forced to slow down or alter my left hand melody, but either way this is my new favorite video game song I'm I'm glad to be able to play it :)

[@SamanthaBallard]

Thank you! The pedals aren't too bad in this one, the harder part is all the thirds all the time haha. I can see on lever harp it would get tricky especially in the second half though!

[@cole8460]

awesome

[@SamanthaBallard]

Thanks!

[@gaigelarry]

Deltarune ROUXLS ! xD
