~~VIDEO INFO~~
Song: "Song of the Ancients" イニシエノウタ
Game: NieR (Square Enix) ニーア

Arranged by Jillian Aversa, Doug Perry, and Andrew Aversa (zircon)
Original Composer: Keiichi Okabe
Original Song
‬
Thanks for checking out my tribute to the underrated Square Enix game NieR! Doug Perry and I both fell in love with its gorgeous soundtrack, so we decided to do our own take on the popular "Song of the Ancients" theme. Originally composed by Keiichi Okabe and performed by Emi Evans, our new version includes lots of layered vocals and intertwined percussive instruments like vibraphone, marimba, djembe, and caxixi!
This video was shot in the dead of winter during MAGFest, the annual video game music convention in Maryland. Working again with director Landon Donoho, we got some beautiful evening shots in front of the giant "drowning man" statue at National Harbor, perfectly evoking the "dark and light" duality of NieR.

The OST of this game is PURE MAGIC! amazing arrangement!

@danieltenorio7366 9 лет назад

hello you also speak spanish but hoy love it?

@SquareInsider 7 лет назад

This song takes extreme talent to play, singing it is on a different level altogether. It can only be sung from the depths of a soul that 'gets' Nier. And with Nier Automata, Yoko Taro is finally getting the recognition as the visionary he is. Accomplished.

@anuragathelordofspectating9924 3 года назад

Gorgeous effort! Even if I am late for several years, but the recent Nier:Replicant ver. 1.22 brings me here and... I am grateful to find this. Thank you very much for the amazing heartfelt effort you made.

Finally! Thank you for this! Nier got one of my favourite soundtrack of all time!

@ibramax125 9 лет назад

I got goosebumps as soon as you start singing.

@ChazzzyF 9 лет назад

I knew that looked like the National Harbor! I was at MAGFest this year, and got to see that intriguing sculpture. It would have been cool to see this, but just knowing I was so close to it when it was being filmed is good enough for me. I can't wait for the next MAGFest.

@ChazzzyF 9 лет назад

ChazzzyF Also, and I can't believe I didn't say this in the original comment, marvelous job. I'm off to go look up this soundtrack because of this.

@exaelitus8794 9 лет назад

I haven't gone to OCR in awhile but I always checked in and as soon as I saw this I was already looking for the thumbs up key. It's very beautiful, but I haven't heard anything by Jillian as of yet that I did not enjoy and listen to hundreds of times. Thank you for creating another mesmerizing track.

@Geekanomicon 9 лет назад

Jillian, thank you for inviting me to your channel a bit ago. RU-vid has brought indie music mainstream and listeners and content creators reap the benefits. You and Zirch produce quality content. Keep it up!

@MagisterXII 9 лет назад

This sounds really great. You maintain its quality and heart. I feel like I'm back in the game again. Good job to both of you.

@agneskaasnielsen3828 8 лет назад

@WoodDoge 9 лет назад

First time watching your videos and I honestly don't know how. Never played NieR but I'm a fan of the soundtrack ("Grandma" in particular) so I'll be dropping a like and favorite. Love literally everything about this video. Definitely subbed.

@MsDopeyy 5 лет назад

Play the game, you won't regret it. It has the best gameplay I've seen in a game

@BloodyRosalia 8 лет назад

Normally I don't comment, but the moment I ran into this video I knew I had to. You see, I actually knew a bit about you before finding this channel-- I believe the first songs I heard from you were when you sung in conjunction with Zircon's works...a few years back? (I started with Antigravity and Breathing You In, more specifically. I also found Walking in the Air, I Wonder as I Wander among others.) Without a doubt, your singing was, and still is, exceptional-- perhaps that was what got me into the trance/new age/dance genre of music. Coincidentally, I discovered NieR's "Song of the Ancients" (Particularly the battle version, "Song of the Ancients / Fates") recently and came to love it. I was shocked but also so so very happy to see that you have created your own rendition. I'm really looking forward to what you make in the future!

@siriustoast 8 лет назад

@poorlytimedjump7678 9 лет назад

@omgfloofy 9 лет назад

I want to chime in and say that there's a little more than just the 'dark and light' feel of that sculpture with the setting considering NieR's lore, background, and connections to Yoko Taro's other games. It's amazingly well selected. :D

@Jebus4910 9 лет назад

Honestly amazing work, Taro Yoko posted some insane praise on his personal facebook about this video, definitely gonna subscribe!

@Armbreakfire 6 лет назад

Zircon has been one of my favorite artists over the past few years. So naturally, I've heard his wife Jillian featured in quite a few of his songs. While playing Nier: Automata today, all of a sudden I hear a song that I start to really like and I think, this sounds a lot like Jillian Aversa. I honestly didn't think it was, but after a few more minutes I had to look it up just in case. Holy crap was I shocked to see it was her. Fucking awesome! I hope to randomly hear you and Zircon in some more video game titles! Edit: Now I'm not sure if it was her voice that I heard in the game or if it's just a coincidence that she covered the song. Anyone know?

this is so amazing! you pretty much sound exactly like the original singer.. truly impressive! i hope you do some covers of Nier 2, after it releases . (pretty sure that game will have a great OST as well)
