The Last of Us Theme - Cello + Flamenco Guitar w/ David Jay

[@nicholasdyee]

The building behind us is the Alberta Legislature here in Edmonton, and it was the actual filming location for the climax of episode 2! Special thanks to The Butternut Tree restaurant for letting us film in their gorgeous space with this amazing view! thebutternuttree.ca

[@Maxxxim1]

No way !! I thought it was just a coincidence that it’s looks like the show but no you actually made it 😂

[@nicholasdyee]

@@Maxxxim1 Yep we live in the same city where they filmed it, definitely didn't want to pass up the opportunity! 😭

[@kfizz]

That's cool.

[@nerdmommy7114]

That was so cool! Thought it was a projector or something!

[@matthewkissau981]

I could tell it was the Alberta Legisalature with the square light fixtures and railroad bed and rail sticking up slightly above the window.

[@elisefrauenholtz8913]

The cello and flamenco guitar is such a beautiful combination! Gorgeous performance.

[@nicholasdyee]

Thanks so much, we really enjoyed working on this arrangement together 🤗

[@connerrobbins2869]

Can I just say that the backdrop fits the show and theme of the song great. Little details.

[@nicholasdyee]

Thanks so much! Really thankful for how everything came together for this video 🙏

[@darcy_james]

That hits harder than my cello teacher when my finger’s collapse inwards.

[@nicholasdyee]

Haha my fingers are collapsed for pretty much this whole video 😅

[@emekao502]

I feel like that a super specific term and I just learned something about playing the cello👍👍

[@mug1222]

​@@emekao502 any stringed instrument

[@emekao502]

@@mug1222 ahh, i play the guitar but i don’t have any formal training so I don’t know the terms for these specific things. Thanks 🙏

[@emily_232]

Ah man my fingers are like that too and pretty sure it’ll never change. Hooray for hyper mobility

[@tashaleahchongo715]

0:43 what the heck!! That was incredible

[@hannanna1004]

my favorite part!!

[@DavidJayTheSpaniard]

Always an absolute joy to work with you! Thank you for the opportunity to make such fun projects come to life. Here's to the next one 🎶

[@stuarth317]

You were both so in tune with the spirit of the song. It's not just that you are both superb musicians, but the genuine love for music shines through. I will eagerly await future collaborations as opportunity permits!

[@nicholasdyee]

Back at you, David 🤗 This was such an amazing experience!

[@DavidJayTheSpaniard]

@@stuarth317 Thank you for your kind words Stuart! Keep your eyes peeled, Nick and I really enjoy collaborating ;)

[@timothybretschneider9041]

Absolutely stunning performance and playing! I'm blown away. I wanted to know what guitar you are using/what you used to record it?

[@DavidJayTheSpaniard]

@@timothybretschneider9041 Thank you so much for the kind words! Stoked to hear you enjoyed the performance. I am using a La Patrie, Concert CW guitar. The studio recording was done using an AT4040 condenser microphone into ProTools. Hope that helps and all the best in you journey :)

[@guitarjake4481]

How did you manage to make this track even *more* melancholy?!

[@jaydonwinger9869]

lol I love their energy throughout. like looking at each other and making faces like the beats dropping

[@ericaferreira85]

Incredible performance and this setting could not be anything less than astounding.

[@nicholasdyee]

Thank you so much! We got really lucky with the beautiful space and the lovely weather / lighting that day 🙏

[@CanavanOfficial]

This deserves more views. Amazing talent from the both of you guys. Those instruments harmonised beautifully. This was candy for my ears

[@nicholasdyee]

Thanks so much! Always love getting to work with David and blend these instruments 🙏

[@f.a5560]

incredible piece of a cover, you both captured the essence gustavo sataolalla gave. what a beautiful work, greetings from argentina

[@nicholasdyee]

That means a lot, the original soundtrack is a masterpiece 🥰

[@The_other_jenny]

Full body chills in the first 15 seconds. Just incredible. Wow.

[@w.holyheart]

Am I the only one who now needs to hear the whole soundtrack by this fabulous duet? The individual control of their instrumnent and the chemistry that results between the two is just so inspiring to see, and hear. ... God, I need more of this!

[@tomassoejakto]

1:40 Always my favorite part in the piece. Beautiful in any version!

[@santipereira5807]

so melancholic

[@HSW101_]

Man, the video is often not payed attention to, but you can see the gradient between the layed back chaotic power of the guitar and stiff and beautiful flow of the cello.

[@jonathantello7804]

🇦🇷 La obra de Sataolalla siendo homenajeada y redescubierta gracias a éstos músicos!

[@nicholasdyee]

Not any thanks to us haha, we're just appreciating it! The music lives on because it's powerful and also part of a compelling story 🙏

[@regarza]

so beautiful!!! i really hope this gets the recognition it deserves

[@AdityaKrishnan27]

This was incredibly beautiful! Especially the part from 0:43, my jaw actually dropped!

Means a lot, thanks so much! ✌

[@KMaaaja0]

Couple days ago I was listening to Señorita again and I was thinking how amazing your collaboration with David was. And now we have another collaboration! It's amazing! Thank you :)

[@nicholasdyee]

No way, thanks so much for listening! We always have a great time working together, can’t believe it took us so long to make another video 😅

[@joelwegner5033]

Stunning - a beautiful reimagining of one of my all-time fav video game OSTs! Nice job, Nicholas

[@nicholasdyee]

Thanks so much Joel! 💛

[@kells12]

you’re a wonderful cellist; i play along with many of your covers and it never gets old. i’ll definitely be playing this soon, it’s beautiful!

[@nicholasdyee]

That makes me really happy to hear, thank you! ✌️

[@stuarth317]

You never fail to impress, but this is something truly special. I'll be listening to it many times!

[@ChuckJacksontampaphotographer]

@@nicholasdyee *YAAAAAAAS!*

[@user-cw6ws4uf2f]

That duo of cello and guitar is always so awesome! Love it (+ cello and piano)

[@chadwickmilliman3311]

It's amazing how much the cello really adds to this piece, especially the way the cello and guitar switch between playing different parts is just so perfect, it sounds unbelievable. Fantastic job!

[@haydenhuss8758]

This cover is beautiful! You both carry such deep emotion in your playing, and you're both so skilled at what you do.

[@burkle4508]

Watching this got me so excited! It's such a good theme and it looks very hard to play with all that jumping around! I loved the part at the end where you two flung your hands up, it looked like you were very glad you finished the piece so well 😄.

[@nicholasdyee]

Thank you! Haha I think we were mostly happy that we at least made it to the end 😅

[@yalexerr]

wow

[@paohermosin]

Qué bonito, me encanta vuestro dúo! Es precioso!

[@DavidJayTheSpaniard]

¡Mil Gracias! Soy un gran admirador de tu música Paola. Quizás algún día podamos hacer una colaboración. Saludos desde Canadá :)

[@masakosmac6962]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE! I'm putting it on my playlist rn

[@nicholasdyee]

Thank you so much! ✌️

[@ShutInCuber]

Now normally I'm not a guy who digs covers a whole lot. Sure, they may be impressive and all with their instruments, and if you like the instrument/cover, I don't judge you. I even like to play covers on my Cello, but they can never get the feeling of the original score. But this one hits different. I think the stylistic choice of using the Cello to play the melody brings it out so much more. The only thing that I can say: Good freaking job. This cover is one of the few that I've ever heard and found as a genuine improvement over the original.

[@nicholasdyee]

Late reply but thanks so much, that means a lot! ✌️

[@GCB-2008]

The song is so iconic and beautiful sounding despite the situation it's associated with. The capital building in the back was also a cool detail.

[@StudyMD]

So so amazing 🎉

[@nicholasdyee]

Thanks so much Jimmy! Joining you in the Edmonton views genre haha 😛

OMG this is awesome! I wish you two can make more guiar+cello combinations!! I love it!

[@nicholasdyee]

That's awesome, welcome! Hope you have a chance to try the cello ☺

[@rooze_shh_]

@@nicholasdyee well my parents are OK to learn it with a teacher at home but since a cello is expensive I'll do some little jobs like babysitting or remedial teaching to save money first, so that they don't pay much!
