Undertale - Hopes and Dreams (rock arrangement) 

"Their was once a mountain that children liked to fall down and get themselves killed" - Undertale In A Nutshell

"What if the Asriel battle at the end of an Undertale pacifist run was actually a super fun rock concert?" It kinda already is tho. But you did a phenomenal job on this, my guy.

For anyone who wants the lyrics: Once upon a different story, far away and in the hills There was a mountain humans loved To fall into and get themselves killed But you are different from the others, I’d like for you to stay a while, There’s just something so familiar Everytime I see your smile Sticks and stones can break some bones But so can books and ballet shoes But I know that you would find that things would be alright When you just you your words (Unless you wanna have a bad time) But here we are, I’m glad you made it. So won’t you take this dance with me Just take my hand, hold it forever Finally, we’re going to be free There’s been so much I wanna say to you~ So whatcha think? What should we do? Now don’t you walk away Just come with me~ and you’ll see~ Things are better here with me Don’t take my Hopes and Dreams Of you playing the game with me~! Two skeletons, a lizard scientist Fish warrior and maybe some goats A TV star made out of metal And a spooky DJ ghost I hear their hearts all beat in rhythm I can feel it deep within my soul(s) Hard to believe they’d care so much About someone they barely even know But even still, they're holding on so tight! So will you stay or will you fight? Now put that knife away Just come with me~ and you’ll see~ Things are better here with me Don’t take my Hopes and Dreams Of you playing the game with me~! All we’ve got are hopes and dreams So won’t you play with me All we’ve got are hopes and dreams So won’t you Stay with me? But there are still some things I just can’t say (I’m so afraid) And there are still some things that I just won’t show (I’m so alone) But suddenly, you’re standing here with me! (Won’t you stay?) I’m so excited to call this place your home (This place your home) Now come with me~~ Come with me~~~ (Just come with me~ and you’ll see~ ) That thing will be better where there’s no weather Don’t you wanna call this place your home (Don’t take my Hopes and Dreams ) Of being with you, oh can’t it be true? I’ve been so afraid and so alone… (No you won’t, No you won’t ,No you won’t, No you won’t, Why won’t you just let me win?) This isn’t my fault, it's not what I want, I just want to go back to how thing were (No you won’t, No you won’t ,No you won’t, No you won’t, Why won’t you just let me win?) Come on, are you there? Do you even care? It's not like you’ve got better things to do… Come with me, and you’ll see (I can’t understand) I just can’t understand, come on why won’t you let me win?! Come with me~ and you’ll see~ Things are better here with me Don’t take my Hopes and Dreams Of you playing the game with me~! So come with me~~~ (Come with me~ and you’ll see~ ) That you were gone, and now you’re here And I won’t let you disappear again Don’t take my (Don’t take my) Hopes and Dreams If you would only, let me win, I’d go back and keep this from happening again... All we’ve got are hopes and dreams So won’t you play with me All we’ve got are hopes and dreams So won’t you Stay with me? All we’ve got are hopes and dreams So won’t you play with me All we’ve got are hopes and dreams So won’t you Stay with me? All we’ve got are hopes and dreams So won’t you play with me All we’ve got are hopes and dreams Why won’t you Stay with me?

4 years later and still the most underrated remix and artist

I’ve come back to this cover for years every so often, and it makes me feel better

Love it! It was cool meeting you in person and can't wait to see more. This was really really great.

This hit sooo close to home. I've been struggling with depression for a year or so now, and I too have a best friend. One that I've been with since the beginning, and done everything with. I don't know what to say. Knowing that such loss could make him feel this way, it's hard to know that sometimes. Feelings of not being worth anything to anyone, better for the world if I was gone. I have never been so emotionally touched by a video. This has absolutely made my day, maybe my life. Maybe it's too far to say you've saved my life, but you've definitely helped. The parallels are almost unreal. Just, thank you.

I’ve been searching a song of hopes and dreams with a rightful meaning and this hit the spirit.

The amount of watch time this video has still doesn't make up for the amount time you put into this. This is outstanding in all aspects and as a whole production. The arrangement was chilling, nostalgic and inspiring. The recording, lyrics, video editing and effects throughout really differentiated yourself out here in RU-vid. I have never heard such a rendition so passionate, beautiful and loved. No amount of words I say could tell you how I felt like for the first time hearing this. Please remember this: when you get more popular (and you definitely will be), there will be many who will give you compliments which are more well thought out than mine and it is very easy to get desensitized when people say they adore your creations. Always remember that there is a person behind that comment/view count who was emotionally affected by your production and possibly made a huge influence on their life. Never underestimate the power of music. Well done Doug, and I wish you all the best in your musical career.

I've never left a comment on RU-vid before but when I randomly found this version of Hopes and Dreams yesterday which is my favorite Undertale song I was so touched by it that I had to share it with my wife and my discord channel. I don't know how I've never heard this version in the past year and also why it doesn't have more views because this song is just too good.

When its lyrics is replaced to Japanese from English, this will be an Anime Undertale music

．．．ｕｎｌｅｓｓ ｙｏｕ ｗａｎｔ ｔｏ ｈａｖｅ ａ ｂａｄ ｔｉｍｅ．．．

I'm not good at English and I'm sorry I couldn't make a polite comment. This is the best 「Hopes and Dreams」 I've ever heard. Your singing voice is also wonderful. Thank you for posting a wonderful song.

I am reading from Japan You are very cool! I am a man, but I fell in love with you

Dude. This is so criminally underrated. Most Hopes and Dreams covers/remixes don't manage to hit that 'epic final showdown that everything comes down to, where you truly prove yourself to be the saviour of this world' feeling of the original. But this one does (in its own way and not exactly that, but still), especially with the original lyrics which I like that are about summing up the game rather than Frisk just going '🎶 _Shut up Asriel, you're stupid!_ 🎶'. A lot of the lyrics are from the perspective of an actual person playing Undertale and I think that's really creative.

Ohh man, the feelings. Feelings everywhere.

It's clear that a lot of love went into this, and impressive that you were able to create a 7+ minute suite without a dull moment out of this relatively simple tune. Great work!

Fr the best cover i have ever seen for any of the UT Ost. LOVE IT!

5:59 I can't describe how much Determination that riff had

First of all, I'm gonna say that I'm not english, so... maybe you won't undertand me. I dunno. Welp, "Hopes and Dreams" it's one of my favourite melodies of Undertale, so, I've been hearing covers since when I finished the game (In my case, I only did the pacifist run). This cover, your work, it's simply unbeaten. You sing perfectly, I can tell it 'cause I sing this song too with the lyrics of "Man on the Internet", and you made perfectly every second of the song. I was watching every movement of your body while you were singing, and I realized that you just don't sing with your body, you sing with your soul too. I've never seen a person more determined to sing a song with that feelings you showed us. It was just amazing, so I'll suscribe and I will give you a big like. Now seriously, your work it's fascinating. P.S.: I love your house... Golly! It was plenty of Undertale things, including your keyboard. See ya'!

Awesome lyrics and vocal processing. ...Yeah, I think I'll come with you!

I'm usually not a big fan of Video game Musics given Lyrics, but this brings a whole new meaning to that idea. Which also makes me wonder---Why don't you have more subscibers?!

Oh.... Oh no.... Don't do this to me man, this is too good.... Great video, lyrics are creative, heartfelt, and not even too corny. Bravo. I'm really glad insaneintherain selected you to be one of the judges for his contest.

Alright, now I know what I'll listen at my 70s

im a little late to the party but honestly this is the kind of stuff that makes me continue to love undertale. I'm not just talking about the fantastic content that comes out of a lot of the fans, but rather the dedication to make it happen. great work!

How have i not seen this?

why I discovered that just now?!

GOD DOUG, this vocal processing is incredible. Awesome modulations too! 5:45, I really expected a Pure Imagination moment there

My man you are exceptional this is a fire hopes and dreams remix please for us all follow your hopes and dreams and stay……. DETERMINED

It's so nice seeing someone so passionate about a game that is so, so incredibly close to my heart! Everything from the visuals to the audio to the sheer length of the video just screams how much you love this game, and that is just so incredible to see. The final result is just incredible to hear too- the way you arranged this track gave me chills! Thanks for this video.

Pretty freakin’ epic. Nah but seriously this is amazing and deserves more attention.

fucking ridiculous how underrated this is

Also, I couldn't help but notice the Toriel Plush you have. I have it too along with Asriel. I just wished the also had asgore to complete the family.

Dude this awesome i love it, you just got a new subscriber

Wow this was huge. The best Hopes and Dreams I've heard so long ! Everything is just perfect ! You deserve far more subs and views !

I could feel the emotion and passion you put into this! Amazing job!!!

The amount of determination put into this is outstanding I love this song I found it 2 days ago and I haven't been able to stop listening it's so good I hope you guys know what you made cause this is amazing and even if I'm years late this song is still amazing even in 2020 great job guys no outstanding job boys

Just beautiful,awesome arrangement of one of the most emotional moments in the game. And the lyrics are amazing,they describe the characters and the fight with Asriel. Thank you for this

Why didn't i see this sooner?! Dude, this is an amazing take on the battle and the song! At first, i was skeptical, but now you earned yourself another Sub. Great job, man!

This has been stuck in my head a lot recently, so I keep coming back to it. Still a real blast!

Even if this was 3 years old, this is amazing! Great job.

If somebody had art talent, I bet someone would animate this song! Outstanding vocals and video! Bet the first scene would have Frisk looking around at an empty concert hall walking towards the stage seeing Asriel for the first time.

Crimony, that was something else, I could hardly express my appreciation for this arrangement in words that others haven't already poured their souls into, the music was groundbreaking in a way that dozens of other dedicated expressions of the piece have been unable to manage, the editing reminds me of how much I wish I had a few clones of myself so I could sing the base and melodies of the undertale soundtrack at the same time, the lyrics are well written and in a way satisfy my inherent desire to sing along to this originally mute musical. In short, much appreciation for this art from this one individual.

Whoa, this was super entertaining to watch and was also quite awesome to listen to! You did a fantastic job on this.

I LOVE THIS!!!! Its honestly made.me cry I'm not joking!! I'm sharing this to as many people as possible!

I liked as soon as I heard "Final Power" in the solo

Seeing your passion fills me with determination. Thank you.

Hearing this song... it really saved my day. You did a awesome work here!

This was the right mix of funny, heartfelt, dramatic, and kickass. Just like Undertale. Awesome tribute.

Amazing arrangement! Brings back the hopes and dreams I had when I played the game ❤

I listen to this all the time; I haven’t been through what you have but even so, this comes from the heart and I connect with it so much for the exact same reasons I connected to the Asriel fight in general.

Holy cow mate, what an epic production. Just amazing work all around.

Awesome cover, love the "Bohemian Rhapsody choral" part ! Great key sounds too !

This is exquisite arrangement, video, and creator! Hopes! and! Dreams! Yay!

SO lovely!

大好きです！！！！！ とてもとても素敵！！！！！！

This is like... the best arrangement I ever heard!!!

This is my favorite cover of this beautiful song... Thank you

This guy needs more attention. I mean, his videos! They're AMAZING!

this is fucking criminal how has this been out for THREE FUCKING YEARS AND NEVER SURPASSED 100K VIEWS!?!?! THIS IS THE *BEST* *_RE-IMAGINING_* - YES I'M GOING THAT FAR - OF HOPES AND DREAMS I'VE HEARD YET

Amazing! Also, the TV with the game in the background is a nice touch.

Such a great cover.

I’ve listened to this song like 11 times and I still love it

Seeing your talent is really inspiring for a beginning music major such as myself. Hope to be this good at arranging and performing some day!
