OH GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY I'VE HIT 100 SUBSCRIBERS. WHAT. THANK. YOU. GOODNESS ME OH MY edit: WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS HAS 10,000 VIEWS???? WHAT

[@Hypercube2017]

Impressive, though it's a _bit_ more than 10k views now ;) Also, I was wondering, would it be okay if I used this song in a video (full credit + link to original video, of course)?

[@Hypercube2017]

Sorry, this might be a little intrusive. My bad . Sometimes I’m not good at Internet Etiquette XD

[@conno02]

For some reason, youtube is bad about notifying me of replies... Feel free to use the piece if you want!

[@exileDreamer-x5q]

I'm surprised no one has ever treated that slower part of Penumbra Phantasm as a sort of "Burn in Despair" type deal.

[@conno02]

Well, it has this mysterious and then suddenly uplifting, rising tone... It'd be hard to give it that "Burn in Despair" vibe, as the original piece relies a lot on: a) viewer familiarity/emotional connection to the Your Best Nightmare motif b) very menacing backing the part you speak of has neither of those; one would have to make sweeping changes to both the composition to an unrecognizable degree

[@Mrkraken303]

the thing is simple, i see a penumbra phantasm cover i like it, i put it in my penumbrin' my phantasm playlist & then i cry thinking of the possibility of this song never actually appearing in the DR future chapters. gr8 cover btw

[@conno02]

it would be a shame if it didn't appear in-game, but i'm sure toby would still cook up something amazing... TYSM btw!!

[@yahyagd5637]

This genuenly feels like a song that wraps up the adventures of the main heros and the adventures of us(the players) throughout these games. Sick interpretation of this song

[@conno02]

YESS YES YES THANK YOU SO MUCH :DD

[@damoonguy3743]

So I've found that there's an issue with all Penumbra Phantasm covers, remixes, and remakes. Something about them always feels empty in an unintended and indescribable way. Many of them are really good, but the feeling has persisted no matter what. This cover, along with very few others, has gotten close to fixing the problem. If somebody can find a way to fix this problem, then their Penumbra Phantasm cover/remake/remix will be incredible. Anyways, great job! Very few have made it this close before.

[@conno02]

Would love to look into this! Do you have any specific time stamps that feel like problem areas to you?

[@conno02]

Also, if you could provide examples of (preferably) songs you feel are full in this indescribable way, that would be greatly helpful.

[@conno02]

By the way, if you want to make sure I see this, feel free to add me on discord-- it's "conno02"

[@airamasu]

@@conno02 Im pretty sure its about the instrument, everyone uses some basic soundfont instruments and this one actually uses normal instruments, i think you need more background instruments, a bit more metal, but more variated, not only the kick snare and guitar thing, thats something you got right, the variations, not the same repeating melody lol, and also the song in unfinished, so probably if someone doesn't get to make a really good continuation of the song, it will always be empty, the power of HOPE was a really good continuation.

[@airamasu]

@@conno02 You have a really good potential with this, I recommend you to try to make it better, but do not overdo it, you can ruin it by trying to add everything without proper time and attention.

[@uprank]

easiest "this is going in the banging tunes playlist" ever

[@conno02]

OMG TYSM :DDDD

[@conno02]

Unfortunately, the silly effects I used near the end really tanked the bitrate :/ Oh well. I guess that's something to keep in mind for the next youtube project I do! Speaking of which: I have no idea what I'm gonna make after this. It might be another cover, or it might be another original. I make a lot of music, but I tend to keep a lot of it to myself because I don't want to bother with the extra effort that uploading to Soundcloud and KZbin has... This time though, the support on the first video really helped motivate me to put this one out, so that was nice!

[@ocean1641]

i really wouldnt worry about people preferring the older version, this one is a clear and direct upgrade to it in every way. Honestly kudos to you for even finding a way to improve it in the first place!

[@conno02]

honestly, it was initially a HUGEE downgrade... i tried to mimic the mixing of Hope and Dreams but realized it didn't mesh well with the arrangement. So I ended up just taking some elements from Hopes and Dreams and refining what I already had instead.

[@DTekno]

this is exactly how i hear it sounding

[@willsmith5935]

i like that this one sounds a lot more balanced than the v1, also still love that end section. i didnt even notice the undertale in there until i relistened to v1, but i love it so much 😭its probably why it made me so emotional and i didnt even notice

[@conno02]

Yeah, initially I wanted it to be more obvious but then I realized I liked it better this way... Thank you!! :D
