One story ends, another begins. Who else is hyped for DAWNTRAIL!? 🤘🤩🤘
Thank you fellow Warrior of Darkness for the song in time for my birthday! 1/27
-Jae Johnston
Oh wow….first Answers and then Close the Distance? Man talk about a packed month! So well done! Also to answer your question: Hells yes Im pumped for Dawntrail!
Another absolute banger of a cover, love it!! The way this song fucks me up every time is unreal tho 😭
Skar's dedication and passion to make an absolute masterpiece for us every time is why i have subbed and stayed subbed no matter how long between songs. The wait is always worth it. Thank you again Skar
Incredible !!
yupp, cried again – incredible cover
So good man nice work now excuse me while I go back and replay FF14 again. Lol
I needed this. Close in the Distance was the song I chose to honor my grandfather’s passing, and his legacy. Love you fellow Warrior! -Dark Knight Main.
Wow! So many goosebumps listening to this one. You guys gave an amazing take on an already beautiful song!
This is a BEAUTIFUL cover-I just love the fantastic way that you translated those soft vibes into an equally soft but still METAL cover. And those vocals??? The memories all come flooding back..Thank you for this amazing tribute and till we all meet again in Dawntrail!!
I was a bit worried when I clicked on this one. Love Skar and his covers, they always deliver, but this song is very special to me, and is quite possibly my favorite from EndWalker. Nicely done cover, I was glad i clicked. That solo……..omg. So goooooooooood!!!
This is my favorite song from Endwalker but I knew it had potential to be epic… and here you are… the epic rocker to make it happen. This version of the song makes endwalker end boss vibes!
Exceptional
Holy shit this is amazing! You’ve really out done yourself in this one 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Wow…just wow!!!!! I absolutely love this!! You did an amazing job keeping it close to the original as well as adding your own flavor to it! That dual guitar solo just…🤯 blew my mind! Very very well done!!!! 🤩🤘🏻🎸💯
I am super hyped for Dawntrail!! 😊
That backing scream 🔥
Holy crap. All of your covers are amazing man.
This song came into my life at a low point in my walk with Christ. As strange as it is, this game, and this song, helped me understand more about Christ's undying love for me and how in this never ending journey of life we go through we can always forge ahead with Christ at our side. This song felt like the explosion in my heart I felt all that time ago. Thank you for doing this. Forge ahead and never look back.
God bless you.
In 2 days it will be the 2 year mark of my best friend passing. He never got to finish Endwalker but this song always reminds me of him and our journeys across Eorzea together and encourages me to carry on and forge ahead. I will miss him in Dawntrail and in life, thank you Skar for delivering another amazing masterpiece.
Id storm the gates of Mordor with you 😎🍻🤘
"The Walk" will break down the hardest man. This cover gives me just as many chills as the original. Well done!
Listening to this cover makes me wish I had a cigarette lighter to wave in the air.
Three covers now, each time I click them, I feel my eyes water up on the very first chords, but this one…. it somehow hits different. It has a rising melody to it that inspires determination, not a slow tune into desolation, but a light at the end of the tunnel. The tears are for a different reason this time – it is literally, like she said, a song of hope, in metal format. I love it, I can't say anything else… I love it….
It hard to believe its been almost a whole year since my subscription ended
So cool to see you guys playing in the same space! Definitely adds to the vibe.
Beautiful work dude! Makes me want to like…. go on an adventure 😀
And my face is one fire…. now, here is the real challenge. Do "God bless the broken road" metal. It doesn't exist…but it should!!!
😎👍wow😊🎧🎼🎶🎵
You are the absolute best!!
Looking forward to the Spotify release, immediately going into my playlist!
Don't know the original, but DAMN! This kicks HARD! Love it! <3
The only good song in EW and you did it justice.
Hi, I like your renditions of songs from Disney fairy tales (and more). Maybe you could record something from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic or MLP Equestria Girls sometime? I think they would be very epic in your version of epic metal 😀
Nice, a metal cover! Surely I won't cry this time!
Eyes: Are you sure about that?
While I hated Endwalker as an expansion, this song is one of my favorites from the series.
Endwalker was soooooo good. And this song was the topping to make it perfect
I love this song so much. The line "the sun will shine again" adjusts make me tear up. Especially with all the depression metaphors in Endwalker. Not many other games have me at emotionally invested as FF14.
Man, you put your soul in this song, it's kicking out tears!
"The sorrow of a thousand thousand worlds weighs heavy. And yet you can walk on." I love this song, thank you!
god dammit, sand got into my eyes again
Brother i hate to break it to you but this needs a reupload, the audio quality got fucked up. I hear nothing but crackling and subtle hissing when i turn up the volume on three different headsets. It didnt come through clear.
The more I listen to this song the more I like it <3
Thanks Scar for this cover.
A beautiful cover, as always. Yall are music heroes.
Daaaamn 😭 cover of the best FF14 song, it's perfect 🙏🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
