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 🏝

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 A lullaby of a language we can no longer understand because we are too withdrawn from our past.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

[@neccodealer]

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

[@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

[@NanoFin51]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@tetrahedron4990]

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

[@RunikArcana]

Oh my goodness. Your voice is a wonderfully natural choice for this song. Brava!

[@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!!!

[@yoruichishihouin1419]

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

[@Melting_Starlight]

Your voice is breathtaking in this cover and is so fitting!! It's beautiful 🖤

[@-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.

[@k-a-r-d1744]

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

[@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!

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!! ✨

[@nicholai121]

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

[@SwaggerJoyce]

I love ur instrumentals, it compliments ur voice so well

[@chrisbush4174]

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

[@DemBigOlEyes]

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

[@ernstkiunke6488]

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

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.

[@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...

[@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.

[@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

Wish I understood what this meant...

[@AVWUVU]

Roxas Number XIII Believe it or not it doesn't mean anything.

[@roxasnumberxiii9641]

Aniah Vu What!? Are you sure it doesn't mean something in another language?

[@Glarbb]

Roxas Number XIII It's a mashup of multiple languages. Nothing but gibberish. Beautiful gibberish.

[@roxasnumberxiii9641]

Thorkell the Tall ...oh. How does someone even put their h- ...all...into a song if it doesn't mean anything?

[@Fredrik_RS]

I think what they say in the game is that the meaning of the song was lost with the language, but that we can place meaning based on what we feel when listening to it

[@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.

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.
