This is our cover of one of my all-time favorite songs, composed by Ryan Roth and Halina Heron from The Beginner's Guide soundtrack. This song has always been really special to me, and if you haven't played The Beginner's Guide yet, I highly recommend you do so! When you get to this level, you'll understand.

"Darling, let me tell you something. In your lifetime, you are going to clean a lot of houses. And among all those, a few of them will stick out as truly wonderful, beautiful experiences. And none of them will be the ones that were easy. Just something to think about while you smooth out the rug in the bedroom."

This video features two of my favorite musicians, vocalist Natalie Post and cellist James Acampora. So grateful for you both. ♡

    Here from Jacob Geller. Beautiful cover.
  • @madness1231
    I am so happy to have discovered this from Jacob Geller's video. I have been looking for covers of this song for so long, but YouTube's search is so absolutely terrible that I haven't been able to find many. In time I have come to have such a deep connection to this particular piece of music as a source of calm and peace for me when I need it. I'll be honest, this cover brought me to tears. This is beautiful. This is exactly what I was hoping existed but I couldn't find for so long. I am happy to have found it at last.

    just got here from jacob geller's video, from the first few seconds i knew i'd be listening to this over and over. so melancholy and beautiful.
  • This game really spoke to me on a personal level. It really brings out that we all have our demons, but that we can all overcome them in the end. And if you’re reading this right now, Remember, that you don’t need the approval of other people. Because deep down you know that you’re already a good person. Thanks!
  • This is transcendently gorgeous in every way. Quite possibly perfect. And the cello ornamentations and arrangement of the coda elevates this far, far, far above the original performance and recording. I'm grinning from ear to ear and can't stop huge warm tears streaming down my face. Not that I feel the need or want to... Brava, and Thank You So Much Emily!!! 🙏🏻 💜

    Music never needed lyrics to make us happy. This type of music triggers the mind to enter the musicianship of a song to paint a picture what each and every note offers. This paints a happy atmosphere. :)
  • @MankindFilm
    This is making me weep, weeping while sweeping.
  • @ReiTheGoat
    Beautiful cover. Really grips on the emotions.
  • @tranquilitea
    I'm adding this to my playlist ASAP. Never heard of The Beginnger's Guide before and now I have to play it 💙
  • The moment I heard this song in a leadhead video, i was hooked for life. Its like a bedtime song for a depressed world, and your cover is fantastic
  • @alexpotzel8853
    The quote and the song hit me hard. Very nice cover🔥
  • @nowhere2166
    Stunning cover of one of my favorite songs from any game. Absolutely heart-warming. Thank you for this. 🧡
  • @MMillion
    aaaaa so there are covers of this soundtrack out there... this is amazing the beginner's guide is a game that leaves me completely broken every time i play it. the way coda was described during this part of the game by davey absolutely stuck with me
  • @TheRaven5138
    Genuinely better than the original imo. Great vocals to go along with it and the harp/cello are very well played. Quite hit hard too. Too pretentiously relatable.
  • @tonks8575
    Beautiful cover of a Wonderful song from a Awestrucking game ! I love house cleaning part of the game when this song appears. It's also when the mood in the game shifts. You can tell there is more about Coda and Davey's story and the complex ending. The ending song Turn Back is another beautiful song I love to listen to
  • @ryyu18
    Such a beautiful cover. It is my favourite videogame ever and this is one of my favourite tracks on the whole soundtrack. Amazing job. Much love to all of you.
  • @GMD13
    Прекрасное исполнение!
