NieR: Automata - Weight of the World (Metal Cover by Skar Productions)

A cover of Weight of the World (English Version) from Nier: Automata. An incredibly powerful game that truly suprised and inspired me. Both in story and gameplay.
Sorry about the missing guitar parts in the video during the verse. The riff was actually added after we shot the video since it used to be a synth playing the lead. I suggest ya'all air guitar that part! :D

Holy s***! 100k views in such a short amount of time. That is absolutely insane. Thank you all so much for watching and sharing this cover. I love you all! Thought I'd adress one question here since so many are asking/commenting about it, and that is regarding the "I'm only one girl" line. I think that what is written in the lyrics are final. I am only singing the lyrics like I am reading a book. I personally feel it would be disrespectful to change it since we all know the character that these words are written by. If I changed the girl part it would no longer be that persons lyrics I am conveying. This is how I feel about it anyways! :)

[@DaBigMike27]

liked, shared and subbed. Awesome work dude! Your cover of The Wolven Storm is just as great!

[@davidv.4004]

I got actual chills from this. So good.

[@Hanjikara]

To be honest, that is fine. We don't care about that "I'm only one girl" portion of the lyrics. Because for one, you are portraying how you feel with your voice within the song itself and its the originality that counts and I respect that.

[@nicolausang3626]

Nicely done, subscribed

[@FeralPhilosopher]

I thought about that the first time I listened to it. I ultimately came to a similar conclusion. It's why you don't see women artists who cover songs about men eyeing that special gal change the respective pronouns. The music was built to fit the words, and the words are meant to fit the music. And you can't reasonably change the lyrics without turning a cover into something not a cover.

[@cpt.dandilion1231]

The only regret I have after playing Nier: Automata is that I'll never be able to play it for the first time again.

[@jasskeeper8152]

[@ShadowKaosStar]

I'm still waiting patiently for a PC port so I can play it, so I haven't fucked up yet, so to speak yaya

[@Deras_]

for nier: automata?, the pc release was one week after the console release, if you meant the other nier parts, they won't get a port

[@gendodafavela]

maybe one day the original nier will be ported maybe if we keep believing our dreams will come to life...

[@dracocrusher]

I have two regrets: First, doing like EVERY mission I could find because I didn't know chapter select was going to be a thing. So I was super overleveled for 90% of the game and it killed some of the tension. Second, 9S's hacking.... I love the guy, his story's awesome, but seriously, fuck everything about having to play that minigame because having to rely on it just sucks. It's a cool idea, but MAN is it not nearly as fun and engaging as it should be.

I didn’t anticipate getting so emotionally attached to the story. I just did my second A - E play through and I still get choked up about how beautiful it was to me. Also, I did an A - E of NieR Replicant and ending C D and E were fantastic. The game wasn’t as engaging to me as Automata, but it was worth every second to experience it.

It’s impressive how you managed to take all the sadness of the song and channel it into a new kind of angery against the fate... It’s just my personal interpretation, and I like it.

[@SkarProductions]

Most emotional songs I think can be conveyed in a more agressive/angry manner as people handle sad situations differently. That's how I see it anyways :)

[@hiimshana]

Skar Productions indeed! And that’s what I love about your cover. You made me hear the song in a completely different way, enriching it... really great work

[@Jamplays592]

in my personal experience, sad songs are so hard to convey because of how hurt someone truly has to be to do it. I wouldn't ever downplay a song, but to get that tear-jerking sadness... it ain't easy.

[@LPTheGas]

Yeah, I'm torn. I consider Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Persona 5 better *games,* but Nier Automata is hands down the best *experience* in gaming this year. (And quite possibly the best in the history of the medium.) Ending E in particular is downright magical - nothing in any other video game has ever affected me the way that moment did.

Totally agree. P5 might be my game of the year, but I foresee Nier having such a special place in my gamer heart for....well, forever hahahah.

[@TobyKBTY]

Of course. And I was really happy about that, too coz Undertale is a fucking amazing game that I feared would be totally overlooked. But thankfully it wasn't! I just felt the same way with Automata. I was getting more and more surprised by the number of people who were touched by it and really getting into it as well.

[@YUKI-MIKADO]

原曲は海底から海中を揺蕩う泡沫の様な雰囲気だけど、こっちのメタルアレンジは荒野を翼付けて疾走して飛び駆け抜けてくイメージで好き。 Because the translation function is not used in English, the impression remains Japanese. I don't know exactly how to translate correctly because it is reliable. I'm sorry for the impression of Japanese. However, it is glad when the feeling that it is pleasant to hear the song of the way of singing is transmitted.

the song is about a girl that feels the world is too much for her. it doesnt matter if its a man singing it, i still picture 2B trying to figure out her place on earth.

[@konos-p8842]

I agree man. It also throws it off to change it because "girl" is supposed to be rhyming off of "world"

[@geraq0]

I think the song is about a person looking for purpose in life and a place to belong to in the world, regardless of gender. But if anyone wants to have a male version of this song I think "man" would work better than "boy".

When I first finished Nier: Automata, I was reeling from the sheer emotional roller coaster I had just gotten off of. So many deep elements in story telling, the emotions I felt for characters that I somehow knew (spoilers) were on a one way trip, and the music score of the whole experience was something I hadn't felt for years. When I got to the final credits and this song was playing as I was shooting down team members names, it felt like I was putting down an old friend to rest. The vocals, slowly building up with English, French, Deutsch, Japanese etc, to a tear flowing crescendo nearly sent me to bawling in my chair, that whole design was absolutely beautiful and PERFECTLY executed. Not since my first time beating Mass Effect (the first game) and hitting the whole ending sequence, the credits and the ending song brought me to tears, it was so awesome! You sir, with your astounding musical talent and sick ass hell vocals, brought those same emotions back after a nearly a year! I salute you! ; w ; 7

Thank you for commenting! Glad that it hits home with people who are so invested in the story :)

I know this is old, but the music changes between 3 versions: English, Japanese, and Chaos, language created by Emi Evans, who made this song and almost all other from Nier and Nier Automata, she made the language for Song Of the Ancients originally from Nier then a remake to Automata. The language is an actual language with meaning made from a mix of French, Deutsch, Japanese and others. She's an amazing composer, singer( she's the one who sings in Chaos language in the songs) etc.

素晴らしい！力強い声に胸が熱くなりました。この嬉しさと感動は言葉じゃ言い表せません。歌ってくれてありがとう！！！

[@annaployglotgirl123]

I'll translate this: "Amazing! I was deeply moved by your powerful voice. Words can't express how much joy and emotion it makes me feel. Thank you for singing it!"

[@Zetagech]

I've listened to this 14 times now. Just can't stop. Is this the punishment for my past mistakes?? It's. Just. So. Awesome >_

[@SkarProductions]

You're awesome! Thanks for listening :)

[@1998HondaCivicEK1]

Not even a metal cover of this song will let me listen to it til the end without crying. Amazing job you've done, absolutely fantastic

[@kasimirtg4375]

Almost 2 years later, and this rendition still kicks my ass!

[@SouthwindLP]

This is Amazing af!

[@SkarProductions]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :D

[@falconlimremixflrcosplaymu9937]

Thanks , tomorrow i try if can success with this video, very epic, and you missed lyric =.= 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 going to 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 going to 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 going to 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 Still, we're going to 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...

[@Just4Game]

Wow amazing!

[@VogonPoetry_42]

I have watched this video at least once a month since it was posted. Every few weeks my brain screams at me to watch this. I have shown everyone I know who is into metal, gaming, or both. I like to drink a few beers and sing along to this like a goddam rockstar

[@AnnoyingEdu]

This deserves way more views. This might be the best nier metal cover to date. Great work!

[@TerokLPs]

Greetings from Germany. I've found the channel across this video and have listen to the song certainly a thousand times. Very great job you did there.

[@SkarProductions]

Thank you! Glad you found meh :D

[@joakas1986]

Like Terok, I've found your channel because of this song and damn the cover is awesome!!! you made me go and check the original ( I haven't played the game) and your job is impressive here! greetings from Mexico!! Keep up the good work!!

[@johngoogle7037]

I was not expecting such talent and quality! subscribed

[@phxmaell1338]

Years later and I still come back to this By far the best cover

[@Cymricus]

The top comment about keeping the lyrics true to the source is already here, so I’ll just say this fuckin rocks. 🤘🏻

[@shadowmajor6657]

You know, I never knew one could cry as much as I did playing through something. I just...it was...so sad, so incredible. Still, I cannot force myself to play anymore than 2B's story after beating the other endings. 9S and A2 are great, but it's just, 2B's time that came was too much for me to take; to see more than once. I just can't. NieR:Automata, may you remain always and forever in my heart. May you continue to bring tears to my sad eyes. Always and forever.

[@inf3rn00b8]

Nice PP

[@UrsulaDorada]

Holyshit omg thank you sir, this was just amazing

[@SkarProductions]

You are most welcome :) Thanks for watching!

[@KaiserinT]

Goodnes gracious - you're more than good! Please, DO cover another song of Nier:Automata, like Kaine Salvation, Ashes of Dreams, oh, just, whichever

[@SkarProductions]

If I could I would cover the entire OST. The thing is just packed with great tracks, and I love it!

[@veleriphon]

You can, over time. ;) We're all ears!

[@dragoran149]

WTF why so few subscribers? Your are awesome!!

[@Musubi-Azeyma]

How does this only have 387,000 views? This is one of the most incredible covers I've heard of any game music period.

[@SkarProductions]

Well, that is 4x more than I ever imagined it reaching. So I am grateful!

[@Yamato145]

Absolutely amazing

[@NinjaKuma]

F*cking AMAZING! Kudos for singing the actual lyrics, you give ladybaby a run for his money with "I'm only one girl"

[@SkarProductions]

If I’m not mistaken that’s what the lyrics are in the original song. Why would I sing it different? :P

[@shelterfromcold8620]

GLORY TO MANKIND!!

[@yudainakata2579]

I've been repeating this time after time and can't get down to my work. Maybe this is the price I'm paying for finding this cover.

[@andreasgroi388]

it's just.. amazing

[@momotin7986]

I was impressed by the powerful yet thoughtful singing voice! Thank you for the wonderful cover!

[@nexusnivera3006]

Huh, youtube, thank you for showing me this. A little late but no complaints.

[@Hoezi02]

Damn! I'm not even a metal fan, but this was fucking amazing!!

[@Ferchotazo]
