Toby Fox - Savior of the Waking World (Piano Cover)

These motifs have been stuck in my head for the past 3 years.
Back at it again with another piano cover of a Homestuck song! I really need to find something better to do. Until then, though, enjoy and like and sub and whatnot.
I played this quite a bit faster than the normal arrangement of the song. Not sure why. Also, I slowed down a little near the end during the one-hand part for some reason. Whatever. That one hand part took me incredibly long to learn. There were still mistakes, but hey, it wasn't easy. Let me off the hook.
Music used: Toby Fox - Savior of the Waking World (obviously [again] ).

Toby said on his Tumblr that this song was important to his job as a musician, and important because the writer for “Doctor” passed away. I have to imagine Toby writing this, knowing what scene it would play over, thinking of his friend and wishing they could revive at the God tier as well. There’s a lot of really awesome-sounding songs in Homestuck, but this is one of only a few that really conveys powerful emotions like sorrow and a rekindling of hope mixed with despair. Now I’ll always think of that composer as well. Toby successfully immortalized them in my mind. I may not always remember everything about the situation, like how to spell their name, but I’ll remember the one that drove him to write the song like he did. Anyways, good cover.

[@valeriegomez885]

One of my favorite songs from Homestuck!

[@NABEPANify]

Finally a great cover, even though it's a bit fast I feel satisfied. Thank you!

[@raidsrc]

No problem. Since I'm not really an experienced pianist and this took me a lot of tries to play through with no dumb mistakes, I instantly decided to upload the first one I got. In hindsight, I feel as though I should've practiced more thoroughly to be able to keep a handle on the tempo, but for now I guess I'm pretty fine with this.

[@raidsrc]

Hey! It's been 3 years, but I finally made a cover of this piece that's not too fast. Your comment was part of the reason I wanted to try it again in the first place. You should check it out. It should be the newest video I have uploaded.

Fast is what makes it good.

[@OrangeXenon54]

Absolutely PHENOMENAL. You brought the soul out of that song and then some!

[@zubzerrolastname6599]

Very enjoyable and well put together considering your lack of some supplies.

[@raidsrc]

Thanks, and good idea. I probably should cover Do the Windy Thing by Brian Schaefer.

[@cuervus_]

fucking AMAZING i felt this

[@rainy_windchime]

what chords did you use for the left hand?

[@raidsrc]

I'll get back to you about that soon. Sit tight.

[@raidsrc]

Alright. The video shows you the patterns to play in, and this comment will hopefully identify all the left-hand notes. Here's the sequence: Eb - F# - Eb - F# - F - F# - C# - F# - C# - F# - F - F# repeat 2x B - Eb repeat 6x, then Ab - F - Ab - F - C# - F - C# - F - C# - Ab Play the next one line as octaves in the pattern shown in the video. Eb - C# - Eb - B - C# repeat 2x Eb - ^Eb - Bb - Ab - F# - F C# - ^C# - Ab - F# - F - C# B - ^B - F# - F - Eb - F - C# - C# - Ab - F# - F - C# Rest of the lines are just octaves again. B - C# - Eb - C# - D repeat 3x (Tacet until DFBbD chord on right) Low Eb whole notes There it is. Hope I helped.

[@rainy_windchime]

thank you so much!

[@viridian1320]

Sheet?

[@raidsrc]

Sorry man, I played this entirely by ear. No sheet music. If I did have any, I'd post it in the description! Something that could maybe help you is the mspaforums HS music thread. The forums got nuked, as you already know, but a web-archiving site saved the page. Here's the link: web dot archive dot org/web/20150911010608/mspaforums dot com/showthread dot php?56858-Homestuck-Sheet-Music-Thread-2-The-Notes-Desperation-Plays&p=7503406 *Just replace every instance of the word "dot" with an actual period.* I haven't looked through the thread yet, but maybe you'll get lucky and find what you need in there. Good luck!
