I feel like something is missing, maybe the sound of buzzsaws would complete this piece.

[@OrangePee1s]

yeahhhh...

[@hsunfish]

Bzzz

[@purevessle2641]

Oh no I don't need another migraine (path of pain flashbacks)

[@cutestcreeper569]

And the loss of masks from those same saws.

[@Numberplay]

Thank you SMB for actually respecting the song's tempo the entire time. I can understand why some covers just keep a steady tempo but part of the song's charm is the unique tempo changes throughout the whole piece.

[@beatertjtyplayz4712]

YES FINALLY

[@WilliamBrown-bg7vm]

So much emotions with this tempo

[@mercury4885]

i love love love this cover of the white palace theme. i'm playing hollow knight for the first time and while EVERYTHING christopher larkin does is a work of art, this one has a special place in my heart. it really nails the emotional depth of the story of hallownest and the pale king himself, and your cover captured it beautifully. wonderful work as always!!

[@theledip]

really nails you say Nails Interesting

[@vasserdrachen]

I like this song too, and I’m glad SMB did it. Of course, I *saw* this coming from a mile away.

I only use hiveblood for PoP. I dont wanna die to that shit lmao

[@Hejjo_7]

It wasn't that bad, I only died twice by some miracle

[@Riley_7237]

Ayyy. Its White Palace. This place was so fun actually. Buzzsaws were a bit interesting. Working on Path of Pain rn (help). The music is so good though and you guys did such an amazing job as always. Makes me feel like im in White Palace right now. Good job guys. Keep up the great work ❤️. Cant wait for more Hollow Knight from you guys 😄

U ok?

[@davidbrussard-composer7372]

Path of Pain is one of the most frustrating vidoe game levels for me, but completing it gave me the same level of accomplishment as when I beat a Soulsborne boss that I was stuck on. It was tough, but completely fair and never felt cheap. Man, I need to replay Hollow Knight, it's one of the best games ever made in my opinion

[@AkeemKaleeb]

Good luck with the path of pain! It only gets harder ;)

[@Klabbity_Kloots]

@@AkeemKaleeb The further you go in, the harder it gets.

[@b.8746]

This song is magical. I love your tutorials especially on hollow knight.

[@xeriox16]

Clearly one of the best area in the game

[@drim_cafe]

agree still likes more queens gardens and fog canyon

[@xeriox16]

@@drim_cafe I think queen's gardens was the last area I found during my first playthrough and it felt so mysterious, like a magical version of greenpath

[@drim_cafe]

yeah i lova that place so much nostalgia from my multiple stopid deaths on marmu

[@arandomperson3245]

ehh needs more saws

[@_sawtooth_]

This is definitely up there at the top right next to greenpath and city for me

[@xxPenjoxx]

Such serenity and beauty. It almost sounds romantic...

[@Burki1057]

laughs in buzzsaws

[@xxPenjoxx]

@@Burki1057 husband confirms buzzsaws all the way through. He said this took him ages, no way he was gonna do the path of pain.

[@NaxNestoris]

It has the White Lady theme mixed in, so maybe that’s why.

[@JMoney_TheGangster]

a lot of bug sex happened in there, so idk

[@xen_is_on]

The chaotic romance of stress and fear created upon staring back at the dark, voidful, yet simple atmosphere of death suits the discription I'd say.

[@Armless4710]

This song is really nice when you can hear it over the hundreds of buzzsaws

[@misterlion4700]

I recommend while being in the white palace lowering down the sound effects so that you'll hear less of the buzzing

[@ChaosBatkick]

I've played a different arragement of this and it always has this unique atmosphere few other songs have. Good work SMB, next time add more buzzsaws Pale court is as good as White Palace, I'd love of you did a video on that too!

[@meissmart6678]

White Palace is by far my favorite piece from the entire Hollow Knight OST. A game where every single track is stunningly beautiful, and White Palace still stands out for me. Thank you so, so much for doing it justice.

[@sillyeyes]

I was playing Hollow Knight for the first time, it was the best choice of my life. Just listening to this recreation of a masterpiece on piano makes me smile. Great job you two as always!

[@kaschey6145]

The atmosphere of the palace is so special (and no, not only because of the sawblades I can still hear in my head). Amazingly performed

[@wavynocturne]

Listening to this has given me the inspiration to finish learning the hollow knight collections version of this, thanks SMB!

[@Annoying-doggo]

YESSS IM FREAKING OUT RN!! thank you so much for this beautiful arrangement! I cant wait to learn it :D

[@egglord1624]

I have so much love for white palace, the music is so fitting for the dead, empty feel and beating path of pain on steel soul is still my second greatest achievement in the game besides all bindings p4

[@milogop3574]

Learning to play this using this video over last the couple months has gotten me back into piano after a few years of not playing - thank you for covering this song, and gratz on 3m subs ❤

[@lurienthewatcher5437]

I know its very similiar so it might not be worth making a video for but def give ”pale court” a listen. By far my favorite track from Larkin

[@Idazmi7]

I'd say make a video anyway.

[@corgipine1015]

1:41

The hands forgot to check collisions lol

[@ti-henry]

Splendid! This HK piece seems to have a sense of mystery to go along with it. Great job!

I hear a buzzsaw in my head when playing this music *pain*

the peaceful music in the background just drives you mad as you die to the extremely hard parkour over and over

Do Pale Court next! It is the orchestral version of this and is one of my favorites!

[@QueenOfSkys]

HE DID IT!

[@milogop3574]

I feel like I should note that I prefer this piano arrangement to the original orchestral piece. It's so nice how it captures the essence of the original orchestral piece while also making it sound true to form on just a single piano part.

[@joshuasgameplays9850]

I love this cover, but I was wondering something: why did you transcribe the time signature as 3/4? most people seem to view it as 12/8 and that seems a lot more natural to me personally. Also, the hands clip into each other at 1:43, might wanna watch out for that in the future.

[@answearingmachine]

is nobody gonna talk about the hands clipping through each other in the video

that's just the way my hands work 😥😥😥 I swear I'm real
