NieR - "Song of the Ancients" | Vocal Cover by Lizz Robinett

Check out my new version of this cover! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ2meJaia6qHj9k

[@NatoBoram]

This one feels much more like in the game than the newer cover

A year ago, I used to listen to this trying to fall asleep. Coming back now, having memorized the lyrics to heart, hearing this again feels like a homecoming party shaped like a soft blanket.

[@caitlinmyers]

Your voice always manages to leave me breathless

[@lepthymo]

I love how how you took the effort to make this langue sound like a real language. You're not just making the sounds the way they would sound in English, you made it into something that might really have existed. I don't know anything about linguistics, but I think what you gave it is its own phonology, that is, the way the langue has its own sounds. You doing that for this songs fictional langue takes it from something that just sounds nice, to something that gives the world this song comes from a new depth.

[@aperfectlynormalinternetus6715]

sorry if i'm commenting on a 2 year old comment for no reason but while this rendition is beautiful in its own right, the language should be attributed to emi evans, the lead vocalist for the nier/drakengard series, the song itself to her and keiichi okabe, the composer for the series. both of them are absolutely amazing and deserve all the credit for the soundtracks.

[@lordofshadow7041]

​@@aperfectlynormalinternetus6715 sorry I'm also commenting on a 11 months comment, I agree with you they are really amazing all the soundtracks are good I listen to them all the time even after I stopped playing the game, I really like Lizz cover and it's great job from her to do it and I think it's not very easy to sing in a different languages at once (I know cuz I can speak in different languages as well) but tbh I'm really like Emi voice and all her soundtracks

[@Space_Potat]

Sorry for replying to 4 years to 5 months old comments, but i must say that i found myself listening to Lizz’s version of this song more than the original. And i probably like the way she pronounces the lyrics more than Emi (o god the blasphemy 😱), but not sure, must listen more to the og og to be a shore 🏝

[@NanoFin51]

I seriously can't stop listening to this. Lizz, your voice along with the odd combo of languages is beautifully hypnotic.

[@CrustyQuinton]

This does seriously feel like a very ancient song... Like something you'd expect our ancestors to sing from way long ago... A lullaby of a language we can no longer understand because we are too withdrawn from our past. (It's just how I perceive the song)

[@Mekose]

This made me cry, really beautiful. I have such an intense fondness for the Nier franchise. I remember just sitting in-game or visiting Popola or Devola every time I went to town just to hear this song.

[@ladydovaky8491]

I love how this song, even with the words that mean nothing, pass such an amazing impact. And your voice made that same impact even more powerfull

[@neccodealer]

Your voice fits the NieR songs so perfectly I love these covers aaaa

[@AryaViotta]

Personally I prefer Popola's version over Devola's but with your voice everything sounds just perfect so I can't even dare to complain ;_; You're really doing this song justice! Also: I don't mind if you cover even more stuff from NieR, I am addicted with the games and the OST as well, so you really make me happy by these uploads! :)

[@AryaViotta]

Adilliosz That's not what I meant ;W; There are two versions of the song in the original NieR (well, actually three, but the third is a more dynamic one) - Lizz used Devola's version for this cover but I actually prefer the instrumental of Popola's more :)

[@adilliosz]

Ah my bad, I misread cause of the excitement of Lizz doing this cover:P. But I agree on the instrumental one, that one just gives me goosebumps. NieR is magical like that.

[@michaelcoleman5030]

♔ Maria ♕ 4 versions actually. There's the version they sing together in the tavern with jazz instrumentals

[@AryaViotta]

Oh, yes, true!

[@confusedcrayons5481]

SAME!!!

[@fazzle1993]

One of my favourite songs from the Nier game, you do this a lot of justice! Your voice fits so well, I love it

[@snowpearl5908]

Why is the fictional language so beautiful?

[@xSchattenfluchx]

Snow Pearl Because it's made to be sung I'd suppose.

[@RagnaCloud13]

Chaotic language

[@chazzwozzio]

It's future japanese. Like what would it sound like 1000+ years from now

[@pdpgb]

Because they purposely picked nice sounding words (regardless of whether they mean anything) to make a good song?

[@loristnorton3723]

So the words really dont mean anything? The meaning is found in the song as a whole. :v just like the other songs of the old.

[@tetrahedron4990]

The way you sang "ullilya" in the song is so adorable

[@-mokerly-5984]

Stressed and anxious as I am, sleeping has become increasingly difficult. This melody is like magic to my tired head; I fall asleep near immediately after listening. There's something healing about it. *edit 11. 8. Okay, I'm listening to it everywhere now. I just miiiight have a problem. But I'm happy about it.

[@nicholai121]

Just finished the new Nier Replicant having never played the original. Phenomenal cover, my friend. Truly beautiful.

[@gimmeaq-q22]

I don't completely understand what you said (probably didn't understand anything) but I can't help but be amazed by your soothing,angelic and amazing voice! Keep the good work! ♡♡♡

[@gyeshikurabi298]

It's probably normal to not understand what anyone's saying in this song because it's a fictional language from the game NieR, just in-case you didn't know that already. The language in particular is known as 'Chaos Language', or at-least, that's what I've heard it is.

[@ztmackin]

{ GYAKU KUTIKKU } It was made by taking about 10 different languages and imagining what it would evolve into over 10k years

[@silentlyquiet8792]

i don't know who you are, but lizz you sound amazing and this song, even thought it's just gibberish, fits my mood right now. you did amazing. thank you for this song.

[@MyPopo9090]

Thank you, not only did you sung another beautiful song, but also show me that one OST i keep searching

[@once-ler4146]

This cover heals my soul every time I hear it.

[@yoruichishihouin1419]

So beautiful. So soothing. But it also sounds sad? Amazing work on this cover Lizz😌😌. Pls keep up the great work Lizz☺️☺️❤️❤️👏👏👏.

[@CertainEnd]

Lizz you truly are an amazing singer. I never really paid much attention to the lore of the drakengard/neir series, but then I listened to this. The moment I did, I was immediately enraptured by how beautiful it was from start to finish. Something about it just soothes my soul. I think your version, your cover took this song to the very depths the creators envisioned for the original. I personally feel you realized a level of majesty that they could not despite the original's own grandeur. You truly are a talent worthy of recognition.

Lizz please do "A Beautiful Song" from NieR: Automat. And amazing job btw, as always :)

[@manfromthewoods2470]

Holy smokes it's so good I thought it was from the game but then I started noticing unique tones from your voice. If they make another you should be on the soundtrack. Simply amazing voice!

[@elysion8747]

aaaaaAAAAAAHH YEEESS HIT ME WITH ALL THE NIER SONGS im so glad you did this song!! ive actually found a version where you and aquaspirit sang this together, but maaan im so happy i got to hear both of em!! also maybe the english version of ashes of dreams next?? or just anything in the nier soundtrack will make me -depressed- happy!! really good job on this, btw!! :'D

this is the most beautiful song i've heard today and in a while, thank you so much, your voice is so beautiful (and i've never press download that fast) ✨you are amazing!! ✨

[@DemBigOlEyes]

The very first song I heard from Lizz was her cover of Senbonsakura. I've fallen in love with her voice since.

[@Teacon]

Just play through the random playlist on youtube, I thought this music is original from the game, but when I see the title "Vocal Cover" OMG it is so beautiful... I mean it :D So soothing, so beautiful. Honestly I never expect much from vocal cover, but holy... this is too good :D Subscribed.

[@SweetSerenadeXyWem]

I finally remember where I know this from: Spooky Tombs used this in her 'shall we date' walkthroughs. This is a really good cover.

[@Azula01]

Its one of those songs where your mind just cant comprehend, yet your heart fully understands.

[@auditoryminds6228]

Hello Lizz, I just found your channel and I think your cover of this song is absolutely amazing! Hopefully i can find more songs that i like too!

[@ernstkiunke6488]

You got the best voice i have ever heard!😘(I am a German girl and love your Videos so much!😘😘)

[@ShiningOmega]

Fantastic Lizz! I love that you did the Devola version. It's the best, and is overshadowed by Fate in the eyes of many fans. Extremely true to the original lyrics btw. Nice job transcribing it!

[@X_Nomad_]

Hey Lizz. I dropped by from hearing you on the Parasyte episode of DYKA. Just wanna say you have an amazing voice and this cover of Song of the Ancients, as well as your other Nier covers since that's what I've heard so far, are really well done. Tbh, I honestly agree when people say you should be a voice actress. Keep doing what you're doing cause you're really good at it. I look forward to hearing your other stuff.

[@andri2714]

omg, seriuouslly, first time i hear this song because i play random song from nier. i love with this cover than the other. you get some special part than the other. i wait another cover from you...

[@SeanWalker-km8oj]

Finally.. I've found a good video. Been on KZbin all evening and other people's vids have been really rubbish. You've earned a subscriber. Very talented.

Yessss NieR!!!!!!!!!!! I played the first time around on this game and im going to play it again for a second time and I felt like i loved it all over again. This soundtrack, the game style, how the story flows, it makes me cry and chuckle at how cute it is. ;-;

[@wingedchicken5701]

[@Yudoku999]

Still one of my fav NieR songs. GREAT JOB

[@jjbb84x]

Holy crap! I was skeptical at first, but you had me at the first note you sung!

[@drakeardian629]

I found this cover beautifully chilling... No really, I got chills listening to this.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME

[@willyzee]

just shut up dude

[@derfyfenhu4056]

Me clicking on video not expecting much. Me afterwards:*completely breathless* Last time I find a youtube singer and not expect much. Absolutely beautiful

[@mahe78]

The language sounds like a fusion of Japanese and German.

[@Lumina_Rosa]

Its a mix of many languages.

[@ElRifrawad]

there's a bit of russian too

[@shrimpperson]

Chaos lenguage. Developed only for NieR, it's a mix of many lenguages

[@thismyname2501]

Yeah..i agree..Kuwata look like a japanesse language, Jiunmata its a korean, Manja i think its a Indonesian language, and then a russia, german, france and more. They can combine the different language into one beautiful lyric and song.

[@shrimpperson]

i know spanish and i don't see anything of it

[@chrisbush4174]

So beautiful. I could sleep with this. It's that calming 😌❤

[@adilliosz]

FINALLY FINALLY! this is the one ive been waiting for lizz. I listened to the original to death. Love u lizzzzz

[@decusq]

That was a great cover of the song, even though Emi Evans made up the language for these songs you even hit the pronunciation for them amazingly well, not many can do that.

[@Larkawolfsgirl]

Your voice with this is so perfect! I have chills

[@cjlee8389]

You rock.... I mean you straight killed it. Nice job.... More please......

While I do agree that Lizz's voice is really amazing, nothing can replace Emi Evans.

[@FangisKhan]

BlueRainbow101 well you dont really need to replace her but you do have a good point there

[@jakey_ac]

Changhyun Woo exactly, someone like j'nique nicole was a good addition of vocals to the Automata soundtrack. Her vocals on The Tower makes my heart sink to my stomach. And i think lizz would be a good addition aswell if she ever had the chance Edit: itd also be nice to hear lizz take a stab at The Tower
