Song: "Song of the Ancients" イニシエノウタ
Game: NieR (Square Enix) ニーア
Performed by Jillian Aversa (vocals) and Doug Perry (vibraphone, marimba, hand percussion)
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.

hello you also speak spanish but hoy love it?
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.
Nier... such an underaprecieted jewel.

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.
I didn't expect something so haunting and beautiful. I cannot fully express my feelings in words.

Stunning video. Loved your voice since your husband's Just Hold On fl chan vid; love his music. Amazing camera and setting and costume. Nier is such a stunning prospect.
Finally! Thank you for this! Nier got one of my favourite soundtrack of all time!
This video going to be hits again soon
One word...AMAZING!!!!!
I don't understand how this channel only has 25k subs. This channel should have way more people subbing o.O
This is absolutely amazing.
Chills. I got legitimate chills down my spine and goosebumps EVERYWHERE. Amazing.
Completely stole my heart...
You are honestly the best cover-artist of this song that I've ever heard so far! Subscribed from now on!
I can listen to this all day, this is beautiful
I got goosebumps as soon as you start singing.
Awesome! Love Nier- such an underrated game
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.
Oh, I've got goosebumps from this song, thank you.
so beautiful!
This needs so much more attention! Great cover
liked and subbed. amazing composition and probably one of the best covers
Loved NieR, With this you made me a lifelong fan. You have such a beautiful voice.
This version it's incredible, I have bought this one, this artis need a lot of support, lady Jillian you are so amazing, congrats.
bro, how does this not have millions of views!? one of the best covers i’ve ever heard
god... this is amazing. my type of arrangement. Thank you!
Oh hey, I remember helping out with this one--this is a fantastic end product, and the song is absolutely gorgeous! Congrats to all involved, you did a great job!
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.
love love love love, love, love!
I wanna cry... Good job
AHHHH I fangirled so much before even clicking I adore this games soundtrack so much I love Nier! This was stunning, adored it! Wonderful, wonderful job!
It's very beautiful, please more !
This was so lovely!!! The arrangement was absolutely stunning! I hope you'll cover more NieR songs in the future. Your voice is absolutely perfect for them. This was really beautiful! God bless you!!! :)
Liking and subscribing even before the end Single-handedly because of the memories Goodbye Thinker gave. This is amazing, nice job!
Thank you so much for this.
i have now become a fan of yours, Jillian, because of this song. i have never heard your music but i will now.
This is VERY beautiful, magical and restful. Thumbs up all the way :)
Song of the Ancients (Popola) is my favorite song from NieR. This deserves more views.
Hope you make more of these someday, they're all really solid.
Amazing
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 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.
Amazing.
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
Goosebumps, for real.
Great cover..like it so much
Excellent rendition. The song is very beautiful and somewhat haunting, and that was captured so well.
so sad knowing this is your latest work, which is already almost 2 years ago, please continue making incredible work like this, your voice sends chill down every vertebrate spine, love your art. i wish you best of luck!
Absolutely love the video and song! You're both incredible here. And you found a good use for The Awakening statue :)
That's just amazing, needs more views.
Absolutly amazing !!! Thank you so much for rearranging one of my most favorite vg soundtrack :3 You made my day :D Wish you all a great day !
I love this sooooo much
No one stops!
Your voice gives me goose bumps. I sit here stunned and mesmerized.
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.

Play the game, you won't regret it. It has the best gameplay I've seen in a game
*somberly sits around the campfire happily bobbing along to Julian's voice*
Just revisited your Snake Eater vid last night for the nerd chills I always get from it. And then this comes out! I might just have to go restart (and actually finish) Nier now. :)
Oh my God, that is so beautiful and magical. Nier is one of my all-time favorite games, so I'm seriously excited about the sequel! ^-^
As a long-time fan of Jillian's, I'm looking forward to seeing Video Games Live in Melbourne next week! Her performances, both here and the tracks shared on OCR, have me hyped.

You did very beautiful. your voice matched very well, and not only that a unique style you have there :)
So this is amazing!
You are just amazing. You can be very proud Mrs. Aversa :-)
one of the best game soundtracks of all time, maybe the best... so living up to the original is no small task... but your cover is perfect! awesome job! I like the mood you set with your video and cosplay too :)
I love Nier, and Song of Ancients. Its wonderful to see you do a cover of this song, its lovely! I hope you are excited for Nier 2 E3 announcement!
You two make a fantastic duo. Shivers.

jesus jillian, you are expressing your soul resonating it from deep inside you like you woke it up from a dormant sleep to express it in this moment, you are a muse an angel, it's weightless and euphoric.
why the fuck this didnt hit 1 mill yet?
well that was fantastic
Precioso ❤️
Wonderful arrangement! Fantastic tribute to one of the greatest games of our time. Really like the aesthetic and setting of the video too. Emi Evans & Keiichi Okabe would be proud! Chills @ 0:42 ...=D
Even when I don't know the source, I know I'm in for a treat. Beautiful as always, Jillian. Doug's percussion was pretty great too! Loved the icy, mellow vibe of this collab.

Doug Perry Just saw the announcement about the single release on OCR. Didn't realize you were DrumUltimA! (Should've recognized that smooth vibraphone playing.)
I knew I recognized that statue from somewhere! Lovely cover.
Maravillosa canción en una voz llena de matices.
That song
Jillian, thank you for inviting me to your channel a bit ago. KZread has brought indie music mainstream and listeners and content creators reap the benefits. You and Zirch produce quality content. Keep it up!
Miss you Jilian Aversa!!!
Beatyful❤🙏👌
This is EPIC! loved it!!! When will you do Grandma!
It's nice to hear someone singing my favorite song from a game I most likely will never be able to play.
about to watch this... good luck on singing this language mash up of english jp german and latin and. ah e a lil french. you just hit the first verse -BEAUTIFUL O M G
You made me make up my mind to play NieR. I have to find this game ! ^^
I liked this cover much better than the original.. it turned into a beautiful calm ballad .... Cannot express how much magnificent this is.
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!
Someone get this lady on the soundtrack for Nier 2!!
awesome
Cool! I saw her at "Video Games Live" in Berlin! :-D She has an amazing voice for such a small woman :-) (not that size ever mattered anyway ^^)
