Outer Wilds Echoes of the Eye Piano Cover

[@andrewprahlow]

seeing this posted is such a wonderful surprise. max richter has been one of my biggest inspirations, and your interpretation of 'a dream of home' especially reminded me of that. congrats on this amazing ep. every cover that is released will always make me so happy, and i will always be so incredibly grateful for not only the amount of people that have been able to relate to the outer wilds music, but for the amount of musical talent within the outer wilds community.

[@Miko-Works]

Thank you. It means a lot hearing the comparison to Richter, especially considering I make music as a hobby. That just goes to show how the art, music, and story of outer wilds inspires people like me to create. I’m happy to contribute to the outer wilds community, and I’m happy my contributions have brought joy to others. Thanks again. I look forward to hearing more of your work in the future and finding inspiration in it.

[@mogullll]

Thank you andrew for making me cry like a fountain with your music and thank you miko for letting me experience it all over again, that echoes of the eye cover is wonderful

[@Barusuzin]

Thanks for your work Andrew, i will never forget what u did. This game is wonderful, as like you

[@evanwilley4064]

hi andrew

[@raddybeats4498]

Seeing you here as well makes me so happy! Thanks to your music I decided to pick up my instrument again after many years. Without your compositions the game just wouldn't have been the same. :)

It's truly a shame that Outer Wilds is not everybody's cup of tea. For some of my friends, space navigation is too difficult for them to comprehend (they just don't play games); for others, they lacked the base interest to light up their campfire of curiosity. Shame for them. The niche, hidden best game ever that is Outer Wilds was a journey for me I never had and I will never have again. Only after finally completing the story have I allowed myself to look up Outer Wilds on the internet and boy I was in for a treat. The very small community it has, has the warmest, most ambitious people out there. The stories they share, the music they share, the art they share all keep bringing me to tears still. Some things about Outer Wilds will always stay in the minds of the venturers. Such as how devastating it was when we discovered what that weird music was leading up to in the first loop. Hearing that weird music WAY EARLY when we take off the warp core from ATP, jumping in the center of Brittle Hollow for the first time, finally pulling off landing on the Sun Station and discovering its true intent... I can go on and on as I chill to this music and it brings me chills but I just HAVE to launch Outer Wilds again just to see the beautiful solar system I once lived in. May your marshmallows be roasted perfectly, venturer.

Unlike the first game, I didn't cry at the end of the dlc. I almost did. I was so impacted by the last few scenes that I had to lay back and take a deep breath to process it all. Still though, no tears. Once again, your cover brings forth all those emotions I still have left over from the dlc. You got a few tears out of me in a Dream of Home, and I finally cried during End of the Wilds/Departure. You seem to really understand this game and its music.

[@Miko-Works]

Thank you, that means a lot. The music plays a big role in the emotional storytelling of this game, so I’m glad I was able to translate some of that through these covers. But man, there was a lot to unpack with those last few scenes. Like you, I almost cried at the end of the dlc. The ending music and scenes made for a really impactful farewell to this game.

[@NinjarioPicmin]

i was crying at whenever we show the prisoner our memories, and have been crying multiple times again every time i've seen it somewhere else on youtube....

[@maple...]

honestly same, and i think i would have actually cried if i realized in the moment what the stick in the sand meant and where the prisoner had gone. i mean, they lived in that prison for over 200,000 years because of one act, with the option to end it all sitting right in front of them the entire time. no human would be able to do that. and when the player character comes and shows them that yes, what you did was correct, it mattered and this is what happened because of it, they were finally able to walk into the water and end their life, content

[@Rainlitnight]

@@maple... this comment alone made me burst into tears. What the prisoner had done to give themselves freedom at last at the end didn't fully process until I read it later, but even then I didn't cry at the end. Almost. I watched it a few more times with others playing and still didn't cry. Almost. I've listened to music and nearly cried. Almost. But this comment. This comment. All the tears.

Hello, everyone! In response to the growing number of inquiries regarding sheet music/tutorials and download links for this cover, here are the answers I have: both will be available in the foreseeable future! I’m currently working on Synthesia tutorials for my previous batch of Outer Wilds piano covers. After I finish and upload those, I’ll make Synthesia tutorials for Echoes of the Eye. Download links will also be available for both soundtracks for free. It’ll take time for me to make these, so I appreciate your patience and support :) - Miko

[@sook-iii]

15:30 I don't know if you meant this moment to be so haunting and so surmisal of how Outer Wilds ends as a whole: By leaving the template for "Next:" still there, but with nothing afterwards, it truly does show that we've reached the end of the wilds. Thank you for coming along with me this far, friends, now all there's left to do is to play a song by a campfire

[@Crimzon-]

I think you might be looking to into it a little too much.

@@jonm8655 I don't know if you've played Outer Wilds yourself, but because the nature of the game is so information-based, it has basically zero replay value.

[@JellyWaltzov]

I don't know what is it about these versions of the songs, but they give me very real GOOSEBUMPS. Thank you!

[@rampagingapple3052]

To me, Outer Wilds is a game about naivety. It's about stretching your hand to the stars and feeling the echoes of those who came before you. It's about hurling yourself into space in a ramshackle ship held together by nothing but hope and the burning need to discover. It's about defying the brevity of existence and thriving in a dying universe. It's about roasting marshmallows with friends around a crackling fire. It's about achieving things you never thought possible. It's about creation, destruction, life, death, comfort, fear, happiness, sadness, companionship, loneliness, past, and future. It's about rising at the end of a song written by countless authors and crying out the final note. It's about allowing a story to end, and making way for a story that's never been told before. It's a game that I will never forget.

End of the Wilds is such a somber and beautiful tale of reflection and loss. I feel like your performance really captures what it feels like the be at the end of a journey, looking back and remembering all the good times you had. But then we transition into Departure...and you remember why it was all worth it. Leaving it all with no regrets. Great work, truly.

This is amazing. I don’t know why, but that interpretation of Departure brought it all home for me. By the end of this rendition I was near sobbing Outer Wilds deals with inevitability and death on a level unequaled by any piece of fiction I’ve ever encountered. This brought that back to me, and reminded me of the one truth the game tries to remind us of: Death might be inevitable, and it may be heartbreaking, but it is not the end. Life will always continue on.
