That’s the magic of Luke Pickman’s covers. Just when you think the cover is over, he manages to beautifully extended the piece in a way that feels like it was a part of an original longer version of the piece (Most of the time)

Out of all the songs from TF2, this one has just become so much more iconic to TF2 as time has gone on. All thanks to a legend we never should have lost the way we did. RIP Rick May. May your Rocket Jumps take you to the stars and beyond. Fun fact, did you know Rick May also was the voice of Peppy Hare and Andros in Star Fox 64? Dude really was an iconic legendary voice actor. "DO A BARREL ROLL!"

[@wolfthegreat87]

This is the sort of thing I love to see in a cover. Not a 1:1 copy, but also not a completely different thing, rather an interpretation of the original work. Great cover.

I never expected such a solemn and moving piece to come from such a humorous game. Something about it really speaks sorrow, but still inspires me to move on. Definitely going in my playlist.

[@bennguyen3184]

NO FUCKING WAY. THE WALTZ!! okay i seriously was so excited seeing this, i was expecting this so much later in the year. The thumbnail is awesome, the Piccolo trumpet is beautiful! But this being the first theme of the tf2 ost, is really awesome. I dont really see Comments asking for this Game, i guess i dont dig deep enough. I usually ask for these along side my undertale and deltarune suggestions. Anyway im so hyped for These Themes, but the chrono trigger and donkey kong themes werent one-offs, right? Because i wanna see more of those too along side the undertale/deltarune themes and the new tf2 ones. Either way, Rest well Rick May. ❤ (for those who dont know, Rick May was the Voice actor for the soldier character in tf2, he sadly passed away due to covid in 2020, it took that and cancer to beat him. And no, this piece was not written for him as a tribute, this was long ago. There is a piece that was for him i think, written in 2020 too, i think its called salute the fallen? I dont know, but just type in "tf2 ost" and go to the end of the Playlist. Well, thats gotta be it, God bless all of you reading this!
