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.

[@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 A lullaby of a language we can no longer understand because we are too withdrawn from our past.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)

[@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

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 🏝

[@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.

[@NanoFin51]

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

[@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

[@caitlinmyers]

Your voice always manages to leave me breathless

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.

[@tetrahedron4990]

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

[@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]

[@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.

[@once-ler4146]

This cover heals my soul every time I hear it.

[@MyPopo9090]

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

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.

[@k-a-r-d1744]

I feel blessed any time Lizz uploads Thank you for all your beautiful covers ♥

[@supernicktendo64]

This was such a beautiful rendition, you did the original a wonderful justice. I can barely think of more soothing and emotionally beautiful songs in the world

[@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

[@JaggedKarnage]

OMG.... This is a personal favourite to me... Thank you so much for this. Seriously I really enjoy this song. Love Nier Automata, 2B is my bae.

[@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

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.

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

*NieR: Automata - Devola and Popola’s Story Explained* Just like Emil, Devola and Popola are returning characters from NieR who play a part in the events of NieR: Automata. While they’re different models from the Devola and Popola we knew from the first game, the connections between the two pairs are quite explicit, and they play a huge part in the sequel too. First, some backstory: the Devola and Popola models from the original NieR were responsible for protecting the Shadowlord and making sure that he could continue to help stabilize the Gestalts. However, the Shadowlord’s Replicant killed him at the end of the game, effectively dooming humanity. This marked the end and failure of Project Gestalt, and all of the Devola and Popola models gathered the Replicant data and sent them to the moon. All the androids started resenting Devola and Popola for destroying humanity, and they became outcasts. As punishment, the Devola and Popola line of twin androids were discontinued and gotten rid of, except for one pair - the pair that we meet in NieR: Automata. For this pair, their memories of Project Gestalt were wiped, and they were allowed to go free. It’s not entirely clear why these two androids were allowed to live, but perhaps they were meant to serve as a reminder to the rest of the androids why Project Gestalt failed in the first place. When we meet Devola and Popola at the Resistance Camp, we find out that the rest of the Resistance androids are pretty cold to them. They’re also forced to perform dangerous tasks for the camp, despite the fact that they’re not combat models. This is the Resistance’s way of punishing them. When 9S asks them why they’re assigned these tasks, they simply say that it’s their way of atoning for past sins. Later on in the game, when 9S finally gains access to the white tower, he has trouble hacking into it as enemies start coming after him non-stop. At this point, Devola and Popola show up, and they fight off the machines while 9S continues hacking. The hacking process goes smoothly until he encounters an unbreakable barrier. Here, Popola grabs the barrier and she ends up short-circuiting herself to bypass the barrier and let 9S in. Devola throws 9S into the tower, and when he tries to protest against leaving them outside with the machines, she tells him that this is their atonement. Inside the tower, Pod 153 provides 9S with the memory records of Devola and Popola. It’s here that we find out about the failure of Project Gestalt and how Devola and Popola from the original NieR had brought about its end. We also learn about how the last remaining Devola and Popola models were subject to verbal and even physical abuse from other androids. At the end of it all, Pod 153 reveals that their memories were wiped, and that Devola and Popola’s systems were programmed to generate constant feelings of guilt and remorse. This is why they accepted all the abuse and felt the need to atone, despite not being the actual Devola and Popola models who failed to protect the Shadowlord. Later on, A2 arrives at the tower and sees that all the machines have been defeated. She also sees Popola lying dead in Devola’s arms. Devola herself is close to death as well. As A2 moves to enter the tower, Devola asks if she and her sister managed to help. A2 says that they did, and Devola responds by saying that she’s glad.
