Weight of the World - Official NieR Automata Piano Collections

This is the first video of 12 where I'll learn and play the entire NieR Automata Piano Collections, although not necessarily in the album order. I transcribed this myself, since no sheets currently exist elsewhere. Hopefully by the time I get to the hard pieces, the sheet music will be released.
Now about this arrangement itself - I think it works pretty well here. I like that it gradually increases in intensity throughout the piece. Though, I can't say I'm a fan of the left hand chord spam near the end. Oh well.
Original album: www.amazon.com...

[@qian868]

This piece is so amazing, but too challenging to my level. Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Love it.

[@laurar1949]

You are amazing. I bought the official score sheet but I much prefer your version. Thank you so much!

For the glory of mankind

I feel like I'm losing hope In my body and my soul And the sky, it looks so ominous And as time comes to a halt Silence starts to overflow My cries are inconspicuous Tell me God, are you punishing me? Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes? This is my redemption song I need you more than ever right now Can you hear me now? 'Cause we're gonna shout it loud Even if our words seem meaningless It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world I wish that someway, somehow That I could save every one of us But the truth is that I'm only one girl Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life Come to life After all the laughter fades Signs of life all washed away I can still, still feel a gentle breeze No matter how hard I pray Signs of warning still remain And life has become my enemy Tell me God, are you punishing me? Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes? This is my redemption song I need you more than ever right now Can you hear me now? 'Cause we're gonna shout it loud Even if our words seem meaningless It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world I wish that someway, somehow That I could save every one of us But the truth is that I'm only one girl Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life Come to life 'Cause we're gonna shout it loud Even if our words seem meaningless Like I'm carrying the weight of the world I wish that someway, somehow That I could save every one of us But the truth is that I'm only one girl Still, we're gonna shout it loud Even if our words seem meaningless It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world I hope that someway, somehow That I could save every one of us But the truth is that I'm only one girl Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life Come to life

[@MarcusSTung]

it hears just like the original one. It 's a true prodigy, you're an insane genius.

[@rach3master]

I will probably share my personal sheets soon, since official ones don't seem likely at this point.

[@january3rd293]

Thank you holy crap

[@voodoodolll]

@@rach3master People like you make the world go around. Honestly, it's the little things and I love you

[@bubblebeam8888]

tried to learn it by hear + looking at your fingers, gave up after a few weeks. sharing ur sheets/midi is quite the blessing now, ty!

[@leninup6879]

This is the best performance of this song i've ever seen

[@yoursinisterdoge2785]

Might be kind of an unfair comparison, but kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaqloqSVfseXrMk

[@tirtakart6481]

Hi rach3master, thanks for sharing your transcriptions :D, they are very nice and a joy to play.

[@mangodsky2809]

WOW THIS IS BRILLIANT

[@UprisingGrand]

I have to applaud you for such a masterful rendition in such a small timeframe. Good job. Btw, what is your opinion on the Piano Collections album?

[@rach3master]

Overall, very positive. The arrangements capture the mood very well. My personal favorite is Dependent Weakling. Bipolar Nightmare is also so hilariously over-the-top that it becomes epic.

[@rach3master]

Incidentally, Animenz said over Twitter he'll be doing his version of Weight of the World too, so looking forward to that...

[@UprisingGrand]

What a coincidence I just upload my version lol. I'm glad NieR is getting regular exposure even a year later.

[@user-ox1ib1jw8c]

I love this song~

[@KashirN7]

Sounds awesome. Can I know what model is your Yamaha? Thanks!

[@nelsonkin592]

I bought the official score book to only realise that it’s different compared to the album. I bought it because I thought it would be this version of the song and now I’m just sad and disappointed lmao. Well that’s 30 dollars gone with the wind. Is there anyway I can have this version you transcribed??

[@alinaj5278]

I don't know if you still need this but he posted a link to the sheets as a response to the pinned comment

[@plaustrarius]

Excellent!

[@user-oh2yd4iq1m]

awesome!

[@FR0ZENxTUNA]

phenomenal! I'm in love... what library is this? Garritan CFX?

[@rach3master]

Correct.

[@FR0ZENxTUNA]

rach3master Thank you! I'm buying it because of this vid :)

[@marcinmaczewski3540]

Which Garritan CFX preset did you use in this one?

[@stevesteveson2435]

Could you possibly upload the sheets you wrote somewhere? You did a really good job transcribing it.

[@Kougeru]

Subbed. Fantastic

[@ChalanthornC]

Is this a hybrid grand piano with USB Host? which model is it?

[@themrzakid]

you must have been hard at work since the release XD

[@bubblebeam8888]

i don't get it. the official score book is out, but the "weight of the world" version in there is totally different from the album-version and yours respectively. it's much shorter and, imho, not nearly as good...

[@user-hx9db3pk9q]

電子ピアノじゃなきゃ、もっと素晴らしいだけどなー
