Stop and Stare at the Outer Wilds (Cover/Mashup) OneRepublic v Andrew Prahlow

I got the idea for this when I was delivering pizza and listening to the Outer Wilds soundtrack on repeat.

Lyrics: This town is colder now I think it's sick of us It's time to make our move I'm shakin' off the rust I've got my heart set on anywhere but here I'm staring down myself, counting up the years Steady hands just take the wheel Every glance is killing me Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead Stop and stare I think I'm moving, but I go nowhere Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared But I've become what I can't be Stop and stare You start to wonder why you're here not there And you'd give anything to get what's fair But fair ain't what you really need Oh, can you see what I see They're tryin' to come back, all my senses push Untie the weight bags I never thought I could Steady feet don't fail me now, I'm gonna run till you can't walk But something pulls my focus out, and I'm standing down. Stop and stare I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Yeah, I know that everyone get scared But I've become what I can't be Stop and stare You start to wonder why you're here not there And you'd give anything to get what's fair But fair ain't what you really need Oh, can you see what I see

[@Len923_]

Isn't it "weight bags" as in from hot air balloons? And not "weight tags"?

I'd just wish to be my fursona. Of the four main ones, this can be arranged, *_AND_* they can physically express their fluidity whilst being gynomorphic and androgynous at most tomboyish. And, they could reduce the number of Nazis in the world, gather knowledge of other Nazis from what they consume, rinse and repeat. An exclusively and inarguable good.

[@eduardosamirciprianohanna217]

You managed to create a lyrics based song out of outer wilds and STILL MANAGED TO MAKE IT SOUNDS GOOD!!! Congrats

[@saadhussein2537]

The lyrics even make sense in describing the outer wilds experience

[@stratoge]

My feed is slowly filling up with Outer Wilds covers and I'm totally into this. This was an awesome cover/mash.

[@hiiistrex2838]

Not to downplay the rest but I think that's my favorite rendition of End Times/Final Voyage _ever_

[@TaHoMasWilliams]

That means a lot because I've heard some really good ones

[@buffruddy297]

I can’t stop listening to this. It’s the only thing that resonates with the deep longing I feel for this game. I’ve never missed an experience more than playing this game for the first time.

[@lyt664]

*[SPOILER]* *_I love how, if you loop the video, the cut at the end (that clearly resembles the Nomai statue yanking your memories back in time) perfectly loops into the campfire, the thing you always wake up to after every loop. Very nice touch!_*

[@TaHoMasWilliams]

Totally intentional.......

[@weldnermarreira3245]

oooh daaamn! that's true! The chills!

[@micahheemstra9049]

No joke, one of my favorite songs ever period. Amazing work dude!

[@TaHoMasWilliams]

Thanks man. That means a lot

[@ozvandroid]

I just cant believe how well the lyrics fits the music, amazing mashup man

[@koholintisland2167]

I love how the end times sequence almost sounds pleading. "Someone, anyone, please. Enter the Eye. Time is almost over..."

[@TheOnlyKataklysmAroundHere]

I can't get enough of this. Its a shame that there's only 800 views, counting the peoples like me that loop this music. I hope you get some good time reading our comments.

[@TaHoMasWilliams]

I do

[@ersosos215]

I've known from Outer Wilds since its release. I've played it more than a year ago and listened to this song since then. I might have played this song hundreds of times and yet, every time it gets better. Thanks.

[@TaHoMasWilliams]

That means a lot thanks

[@ersosos215]

@@TaHoMasWilliams thanks to you

[@soupbane1688]

This may actually be the most underrated song I've ever heard. Great job on this.

[@TheWisecraft8]

the ending gave me chills omg

[@thechosenone9910]

It’s like these songs were made for eachother. I find myself listening to this constantly!

[@ampcomofo]

hey wait a minute Ive seen you before

[@purplenanite]

wow - amazing! Also nice Final Voyage section! ive done some OW mashups but this takes the cake!

[@gracelindblad3539]

This hits home in such a meaningful way. You’re very talented. Thanks for sharing this, dude ♥️

[@kinghungxix8471]

bro just made a masterpiece and after 2 years the YT algorithm finally blessed me

[@Tabby3456]

I felt like if Outer Wilds was a movie: they would play this at the credits

[@crankyhead1089]

The vocals during the "End Times" part really reminded of the movie soundtrack "Swiss Army Man", and now i kinda wanna do a smashup between them.

[@a.monach7602]

Not gonna lie, I was not ready for that Final Voyage half.

[@zd_5907]

God I need an extended version of the end times section Those vocals are GODLY

[@squiboco]

It’s insane how well this mashup works, not just musically but also lyrically. It fits the theme of the game so well. If outer wilds had an end credits song with lyrics this would be it. You’re a genius for making this

[@cozmo891]

Coming back to this after 2 years and saying it was at the top of my KZbin recap last year and number 3 this year, love it

[@TaHoMasWilliams]

Wow. That's unbelievable... Thank you so much

[@casualbydefault]

I've never considered wanting to buy a mashup but this... this is the exception. A gaming experience that can't be fully relived with one of the most impactful soundtracks to back it up, now given lyrics that don't feel out of place. Masterful mix.

[@ThisGoesHard001]

This goes so hard, especially that ending.

[@alexandergreene461]

This is excellent, still listening, thank you for putting this together.

[@TaHoMasWilliams]

Thanks for listening! Means a lot knowing people are still enjoying after several years

[@cjay864]

This is so cool! Glad I caught this in my recommended. I love the Outer Wilds soundtrack, and this mashup was amazingg. Goodjob man!

[@glowpon3]

I was listening to the words and thought it actually goes really well, then end times hit and I have no words.... breathtaking.

[@Wingduddoesart]

The acapella ending bit makes me think a mashup between OW and the Swiss Army Man OST by Andy Hull would work extremely well. Amazing work btw!

[@bendubz9000]

This is such a marvelous concept done brilliantly

[@Jankylulu]

Wow, just wow, you managed to fit the best song of outer wilds with very fitting lyrics. Thank you for this!!

[@Lyriouss]

Honestly just to make a remix like this is already a difficult process and yet it managed to get me to listen to it for hours. Thanks my g.

[@eccosong]

Several years later now, and this still might be the best song Mashup i've ever heard.

I was never expecting vocals in an outer Wilds cover but it is greatly appreciated with how it's done amazing work keep it up edit: and I was definitely not expecting to here a vocalized version of end times/final voyage I've been looking for that for so long but no one has done it thank you it sounds amazing

[@JungleJimAdventures]

Never heard the original song before this. Just checked it out and can 100% say that this cover is far better.

[@crystal_pirate]
