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

[@SkarProductions]

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]

Cpt. Dandilion bc you so fucked up right?

[@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.

[@hiimshana]

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.

After playing all of Yoko Taro's games i've been filled with a sense of regret and sadness because i will never be able to witness them for the first time again, sure some of them are a bit rough but they always make me feel an explosion of emotions that i rarely feel anymore. i sincerely hope that Yoko continues making video games because they are some of the best games i've ever played in terms of atmosphere, soundtrack, and story.

[@TobyKBTY]

Im loving how this game is inspiring so many people to create art and music about the game. God, this game is so fucking good. Probably my game of 2017 if im going by impact alone. Your voice is fucking awesome, man! I love this cover so much.

[@SkarProductions]

I couldn't agree more my friend! This is why it's so much fun to make this covers so I can share my love for the games and it's music with others who feel the same :)

[@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.

[@TobyKBTY]

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.

[@FlowerSong606]

Toby K. A lot of games have done that like undertale lol

[@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.

[@TrillCozby]

[@ThePuddingDead]

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

[@SkarProductions]

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

[@ricardojanate]

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.

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.

I discovered the games because of your cover here. KZbin just played it amoung some Video Game music I've listend to while I was cleaning. I thought "damn that Sounds good, what is it?" Then I went to the TV and looked up the name. Next thing was looking for the original and my thought was "damn that could be a song from mgs, what is that game?". I've heard the name before but I have no picture. I watched some videos and thought that it's not exactly my preferred type of gameplay but hey give it a try. I called my brother If he had the first one and yes (Jackpot). Somewhere He storaged it years ago with hundreds of old Xbox 360 games at our parents house. I visited them and searched throu dozends of cardboard boxes and found it. Blowed the dust of my old Xbox 360 and lets go. The rest is history. I became a huge fan of this franchise. Played houndreds of hours, bought merch and listen the whole time the OST.

I hope that your channel gets the exposure you deserve. It's about time that some actual true metal covers gets some publicity. The quality of this video is top notch, as you can tell by the influx of your views. Whatever marketing you've done for this video, keep it up. Even though this song isn't necessarily "heavy" it gave me chills. Although I mostly listen to melodic death metal, and some black/doom, this still is extremely impressive when compared to the so called "metal" covers some other individuals put out. Thank you for a great tune, keep it up.

I love that you kept "girl" instead of changing it to "boy" to fit comfort levels. I feel like a lot of good covers of other songs have been ruined by that. It just feels petty and small imo. This cover is amazing, dude. Stay metal.

[@SkarProductions]

Thanks for this! This is exactly how I feel.

[@RodrigoOshiro]

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.

[@tovi3280]

Rodrigo Oshiro I feel like it’s more about A2’s inner feelings than 2B’s.

[@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".

I know I'm late to the party in seeing this but....holy shit Martin!!! Congrats on the best cover on YT. Glad you've joined Equilibrium brother. Never sounded so damn epic!

[@haakonhaga]

I've never even played the game and I keep coming back to this

[@wulfricr7635]

I love this rendition, and how it hits just as hard as that final credit scene (anyone who did ending E knows what I mean) absolutely beautiful man, amazing metal version of an absolutely amazing song! Listen to this every chance I get! 🤘🏻 also your voice fits amazingly to the melody of the song, it's just so perfect!

[@veleriphon]

3 years later, and this is still a great cover!

[@pocenha]

Badass! Your Voice fits Very well in this song And the instruments were flawless! Subscribed!

[@SkarProductions]

Thanks!

[@billykhoabillykhoa7844]

Clicked this video without a single idea of how you can cover such a song into a metal song. But you nailed it :D

[@KyleWCR]

This is the kind of song that tears your soul apart, no matter the genre.

[@Ferchotazo]

[@nicolito40]

hello from France! It's amazing, good job!

[@kurorekku]

A cover I never knew I needed, Ive lost track of how many times I've played this for the past 2 days

[@contrastellar_]

Came across this in my Spotify Discover Weekly, and about screamed, because I wasn't expecting to hear a Nier:Automata cover, especially hot on the heels of just finishing the game. This is fantastic!

[@PremonitionGamingVid]

I still bawl to this song.

[@alexleo511]

Congratulations from Ukraine, I constantly listen to this song in the soundcloud, although many of my friends can not understand her beauty, but I am very grateful for such a beautiful cover.

[@wheretao6960]

This is legendary, OST worthy. Keep up the good work.

[@marumaru-hapihapi]

I am Japanese. I love this song too! It was nice to meet this song you play and singing. Because I am using translation function, it is bad english ...

[@nathancanavan3942]

Holy crap! I've only just beat this game (bit late I know, but better late than never) and this song really resonated with me (actually, the whole game and soundtrack seems to have struck a chord with me because I can't get my mind off of it). While randomly searching, I stumbled upon this vid and all I can say is wow! This is amazing! This song is not one I imagined working as a metal song, but you made it work so well! Well done indeed! You rock!

[@irusu.]

I am a bit far from listening to metal nowadays, only things I used to listen and stuff but with covers it's a bit different, I like to see people making their best efforts to make things their style, whether or not it's some people style or not, and this cover sounds so damn legit, it's insane. As a mixing engineer, very nice man, mixed well and produced very good too

[@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!!

[@Just4Game]

Wow amazing!

[@ilz598]

Hello from Russia, Thank you for your readiness! It's really epic! I wish you success in your work!

[@VortMordrak]

он явно крут как яйца ))

[@renatoriberti]

The original song is fantastic, and your cover doesn't fall short in any aspect. Awesome job!

[@SeanFarFlung]

Where to even begin. The tightness of the playing and the recording & mixing is one thing. The reinterpretation into a metal style is another masterfully done element. The overall in-tune-ness of each element feeding into one overall harmonically tasty cover is another venerable achievement. But really what makes this? What takes all those elements and turns them into one masterful achievement that will be always be capable of changing people when they listen to you? It's the belief, the passion, the uncompromising oneness that screams itself through your performance that makes this experience one that I'll never forget. This is beautiful and there's no other suitable word for it. Amazing work. Instant subscribe. I see that you're not a super regular uploader and that's totally cool. Just know that when you do upload again, whenever it is, there will be people who are ready and eager to hear you. Much love
