Song is 10 years old, and it still brings a tear to the eye.

In typical "Answers' fashion, a few tears were shed. It's okay, they were definitely metal tears. My eyeballs are now rust. Worth it. Amazing cover and video.

[Igarcia]

Y'ALL DID NOT NEED TO GO THIS HARD. MY GOD. @SkarProductions killing it AS ALWAYS, @KristinStarkey MY GOD playing crystal mother like A BOSS, @Ariahmusica one of my FAVORITE voices popping up in the cover scene, was so excited to see you!! My god! @Myuu this is one of the first times I've heard your voice but MAN you got some punch!! You all brought me to TEARS!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[sharmsong]

WOW what a voice Kristin has! Incredible! What a powerful metal quartet 🤘

[MorgothGamingTrove]

In all honesty, I was scared when I clicked on this, Answer is one of the most important piece of music in my life. It means more to me than anything else. Final Fantasy XIV means more to me than any video games ever did. While I firmly believe that the original song just can never be replicated in emotion and meaning, this cover is magnificent. As a fan of metal and the original piece, I was not disappointed. It was well worth the 7 minutes watch.

"We are the stories we tell ourselves. The brave hero, the tortured soul, the altruist, the pragmatist. They will tell you who they see, but you and you alone know who you are. For I speak only for myself. If you find comfort in my words, they are yours for the taking, but that is your choice. Now and ever after, as it has always been."

the fact that all these dark knight lines technically come from our own subconscious just makes them extra personal.

[richardpearson]

I must confess I am sitting in the dining room at my work...I started balling my eyes out listening to this. I never thought more emotion could be added to this song...mark me down as wrong. Amazing job all of you.

[Snake]

I have listened to the original time and again and each time it gets my emotions riled up. It means so much to me, this song. It reminds me of a simpler time, a time without the shadows in my life.
The fact your version does the same just shows how serious you took this and the long wait (I don't know anymore when you first mentioned it) and it is everything I could have imagined, nay, it is more than I could have imagined. You got the perfect people onboard for this.
And your vocals were over the top, I never heard you sing like this before (at least I can't think of any piece right now)
