Fun fact, the singer and composer of the original Nier tracks invented their own composit language that was known as the "Chaos language" and includes words from English and French as well as a few others (can't remember at the time of writing this) and is actually meant to be Indecipherable, you're not supposed to understand the vocal meaning behind the song only the emotional meaning

"This pompous scene
With silver tongue
We'll sing a song of horror
Begin the song
This timeless song
We'll swim and drown in slaughter"

[calemx]

I may not play Nier Atomata or understand the language, but I don't need to play the game/know the language to know that this is an amazing song.

Simone/Beauvoir is the most beautiful yet terrifying boss I have ever seen in a video game. Something about her using the bodies of androids to make herself "beautiful" is utterly disturbing to me. But then when you read her backstory, she is probably the saddest character in Nier. (Nier fans, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)

Recently all but finished the game (scared of going to ending E) When I saw this pop up in my feed I was afraid it would include english lyrics, but I'm glad to see it sung in Chaos language. And outstandingly well too!

[PloopstheBear]

I am still just absolutely floored. Carl, Uprising, your voices blend so well it almost feels like they combine into one being, it's perfect. The art is fantastic, and the bit of animation just takes it a level higher. The editing and mixing are fantastic as always, they really help do justice to this. Just in awe of it all 💖

[Rugnarstengo]

Damn, this cover makes me wish to see a Nier Musical. Like, the original OST was an absolute banger, but your take of it was spot on! The mixing was flawless, and the art and animation are a great addition. This is truly amazing and it's, indeed, "A Beautiful Song"!

[bladedpyromania]

Oh my god, y’all killed it. I didn’t think this song could be made better, but you guys somehow pulled it off

[UprisingAttorney]

WAIT I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED THIS BEING UPLOADED--
I'm so happy about this cover Carl and I worked really hard on it and I'm glad you all love it too!!! NieR as a series is one of my favorites and I'm glad we could do it well!!

[MikinMikinovec]

Very happy to see you covering something from Nier, the game deserves attention from amazing artists such as yourself. Plus this is like one of the best songs in the game, along with Weight of the World and, in my opinion, the amusement park

Big Nier: Automata and MOTI Fan- Minutes before bedtime, I get to be blessed with your take on my 2nd most favorite boss in the game- I love both the boss Simone and also your epic works- If you can do Dark Colossus - Kaiju from the same game, and a few others, my life is complete- THANK YOU FOR THIS EPIC RENDITION!-

[christiandelcarmen]

Welp... having singable lyrics to one of my favorite songs is always a bonus. Great cover by the way.

[acetrainerarcane]

I was literally listening to the ost of this last night, so happy to see you cover it

[andrejka]

The whole concept of the game, conceived by graphics through story to music, is the result of a combination of geniuses in every area of development and creation of the whole game. People have put more into this game than we can imagine.

[Terces]

The closed captions add so much to this! Amazing work!

[TheAdvertisement]

The fact that the lyrics have no understandable meaning, really helps you just focus on the emotions of the song and the singing. The intensity and heart Carl and UprisingAttourney put into this is clear, amazing work!

[Crocogator]

I will be beautiful.
I will be BEAUTIFUL.

*I WILL BE BEAUTIFUL*

[logandaley]

Oh my god, this is one of my favorite songs in Nier Automata, and that you went the extra mile to do it in chaos language was amazing

[jameslecitron]

Wow ! This is one of the best covers of this song I’ve ever heard. Fantastic job !

[KingOfMumbles...]

My favorite song of the game. It feels like you're battling an opera singer while dancing in a ballet.
