- I absolutely LOVE the Stardew Valley soundtrack but one track in particular just hits the hardest ...
The Wind Can Be Still floored me the first time I heard it. At the end of the video I play my arrangement.

guitar! - Hry
Dude I absolutely love the idea of putting everything in context and sharing the “why” behind the music before actually covering it. Super engaging and fun to watch, Sam. Totally love this video.
I came down here literally to say this. This was a treat, and I'm getting a little emotional, lol
Good luck with the Hollow Knight guitar project! Love your arrangements, I learned the Dirtmouth one myself
@@joekerins9772 Thanks, Joe! I love to hear that, man. You know, I’m only here because of dudes like Sam who’ve inspired and paved the way for other VGM guitarist in our niche.
@@AarekMG I hear ya, man. It’s always a great day when we get a new Sam video!
I agree. I play guitar serviceably but understand very little about the "construction" aspect of music. Watching guitar tubers took me from a 4 chord strummer to now I'm finger picking and writing my own music
The story telling made the arrangement even more moving 😇
Man, I literally cried. I played Stardew Valley in 2016 (the year it was released), and I played it again during quarantine. I've always loved "The Wind Can Be Still" and hearing its cover took me back 7 years ago when things were simple in my life. Thank you.
"Let's rip some Stardew" is an incredible phrase
This is indeed the best song on the soundtrack and the chords at 10:11 are the best MOMENT on the entire soundtrack. Great arrangement
Fancy meeting you here.
Collab with Sam, thanks.
@@Fatone85 hey Person. I’m up for it
have thought the exact same thing, so glad to see other people loving that moment
@@Fatone85 @CRGuitar heck yes
lol indeed fancy meeting you here
I’m back home because a family death, and today it started snowing. I was lying in my bed watching this and when you started playing, tears just ran down my face. Thank you so much for this beautiful rendition, really hit me in the heart.
The Wind Can Be Still is an absolute all timer. As some dude on CZcams pointed out, though, it's the little major flip just for a moment at the end that makes it absolutely magical. That person was the most right any human has ever been,
What an amazing cover. Stardew is one my favorite game of all time. No stress, only just living and take pleasure to live as fast as season goes.
Amazing
That walking down minor chord progression near the end of the song chokes me up every single time. Even when I'm playing the game, when I feel that section come up I stop whatever I'm doing and listen. Thanks for covering such a beautiful song.
Stardew is a mood. Also from Michigan I agree each of these season songs relate so well with the seasons here.
Saw the title and immediately knew it was going to be The Wind Can Be Still ❤
Hearing musicians talk about WHY they play something and what they feel when playing is. Thanks for sharing this, beautiful video and concept.
Especially when it's the SV OST. I listen to it while working my mum's horse meadows, now I love working there.
The addition of your story and feelings from the music is a nice primer. Great choice from the soundtrack, and beautifully done.
I just want to stop you right there to say that I completely agree
Definitely my favorite song in winter. The best song imo is Penny's Theme hands down
I live in Wisconsin and I totally agree with you, Sam. That first warm sunny day when the snow starts to melt and you just see water glistening everywhere :) Its one of the best smells ever too!
6:28 this part made me tear up, so much nostalgia.. ❤
Stardew Valley means so much to me, and this song encapsulates so much of what I adore about it. Thank you for this cover. 🙏🏿
This slightly longer format outlining the overall music of the game and your attachment to it is really good.
I remember when i first heard The Wind Can Be Still too. Absolutely blew my mind... honestly that track and the first one in spring made me fall in love with the game even more. I guess im not the only one who was mesmerized by it too! Incredible cover!
Stardew Valley was an absolutely amazing experience. The only thing that I'd add to the game is a song for each of the NPCs. Each one of the bachelors and bachelorettes having their own leitmotiv would give them a lot of personality... But I mean, the entire game was made by ONE guy, which seems impossible and it's honestly hard to believe.
Really liked the format of this video. Part analysis. Part performance. Part silly. It had good flow while you told your story.
This is a beautiful arrangement of a beautiful song. I’ve never actually played Stardew Valley, but I’ve listened to its soundtrack for many many hours because a friend recommended it.
Thanks for this video Sam.
I wrote my final college paper about Stardew Valley and how important to gaming I found it to be and how much I feel like anyone can truly enjoy the game no matter your experience level in gaming. I also got to glam about it. ❤️ great work as always, Sam!
This is probably my favorite song of the whole soundtrack so when you announced it was so fricking hype
Thank you for showing the world the wonderful music of Stardew Valley. It truly is a life changing experience
I started playing Stardew Valley on November 30th, 2023. I almost didn't want to buy it, because it cost $16.99 and I only had about $17.50 left. I decided "Screw it, there's nothing else I can afford that's worth it anyway" and bought it. Let me tell you, that was the best $17 I've ever spent. Within 2 days, it had already climbed into my top 5 games of all time, and within 4, my top 3. Now, It's sitting at a comfortable 2nd place, only topped by old Minecraft. One of the best games I've ever played, for less than $20
This video was a treat. I love these kinds of music analysis / essay videos. And wonderful performance at the end. Thank you Sam.
Watching a video of a song cover can be awesome. Watching a song cover while knowing the reason why the song was chosen is even better. Thank you for this experience.
This video format clearly takes a lot more effort but it's EXACTLY the kind of stuff I'd love to hear from you! Looking forward to more of the same!
Ok.... this... is a really appreciated approach. I've been following you for a few years, bar youtube failing to serve me new Vids, but I've never seen you do one like this before. The Zelda spread did it in spirit by its choice of songs... but I can only imagine if you introduced us to your Zelda choices like this!
It feels good to hear that someone else felt like me about this music.
Thank you for telling us your journey of Stardew Valley. Everyone i know who played this game has a different perspective on events, music, characters, how filling the day. This game is by far one of my most played one and storys like yours keep warming the enthusiastic to play it again.
I love this video format! So genuine. Great cover
I really enjoy these kinds of music analysis videos with a beautiful performance in the end
Great rendition! I also really enjoyed this format of a mix of video essay with some small guitar interjections as your supporting evidence, ending with a full cover. Very rad
This is a great video! Love the spoken introduction before the performance. I live in New Hampshire, and your description of that first warm day of the year just got me so excited for spring 😭
Love the rendition and all of the lead up to it. Shows a love of gaming, and I am still blown away by how much your playing continues to progress.
Glad I stumbled on this page 5 years ago, and always nice to listen to the pieces you share.
This was an amazing video! Adding context and meaning to the song before you play it is REALLY engaging. Thanks for this!
I've been absolutely slapped by this game, great job both of you Sam & Mr Barone :)
Sam, I've been watching your videos for a few years now it seems and I've gotta say this is one of my favorites so far. I really enjoy the exposition in the beginning. Thanks for keeping up the good work!
Beautiful! I wish more people talked about Stardew Valley's music. As you say, the music is perfect for the game and what it represents. And when you perform your rendition, one can really feel the emotion.
That is so clean and rad and beautiful bro, loving the in depth commentary
Excellent! I’m so pleased I came across your video. You play beautifully x
i really enjoyed this style of video! your tasteful arrangement and immaculate playing were beautiful as always :)
One of my favourites too Sam!
Well done!
Todays the day I sign up to your patreon… enough procrastination.
Thanks again for another awesome cover.😊
Love the format and the analysis before the cover. Nicely done my dude!
Loving this concept, good shit Sam
Excellent video. I’ve always felt the music in Stardew was so well done and you managed to put it into words in a very captivating way.
I quite enjoyed this thoughtful, analytical format. I hope you can do these kinds of videos more often!
Loved this video format. Thanks Sam.
You have made me have a new perpective of the music of this game , I knew it was really good but I didnt thought about the meaning of the songs in the seasons. Thank you, great video and keep making videos like this.
Thank you so much Sam for this beautiful rendition. Loved hearing your thoughts and hope you'll be sharing more in the future as well.
I love the approach to this so much man, when I arrange certain songs it’ll be for reasons like these where it makes me decide to do so
Been following you for many years, this was a great video. I wouldn't expect it from you every time, because I'm sure its a lot more work, but I loved hearing why you loved the song so much. Thanks for everything Sam!
loved the discussion beforehand! hopefully we'll get to see more of these in future vids
Absolutely love it. Even after all this time this song constantly plays in my head during my day to day. Truly is mesmerizing and hearing you transpose it to guitar is incredible
Bro as soon as you hit that first harmonic I started crying, you inspire me so much
My dude!! I LOVE this format. A mini review with a music focus, that then transitions into you playing your favorite tunes from the game. I got chills when you played the songs! Keep it up, Sam
Man, there is no other channel like yours. Thank you for sharing your experience and your beautiful music with us, I know soon the time will come for me to start on Stardew. All the best, from the other side of the Atlantic.
Love this format Sam! Keep it up!
Your cover was so full of emotion and feeling, as soon as it started I stopped what I was doing and it was almost like I was put in a trance for the entire length of the song. So beautiful! Thank you for this wonderful cover.
The song and the arrangement are gorgeous, and the new format with you explaning why you decided to arrange the song is actually really nice. I love it.
god bless you Sam another killer rendition, really enjoyed hearing your thoughts about the pieces, would love to hear you speak more
Class as always Sam. Hope you're enjoying spring 🌱
Love this video, you should do more videos reacting to soundtracks and playing some of the pieces, just hearing the part of the Spring song on the classical guitar gave me that comfy feeling of playing Stardew for the first time again
Yay! You finally played this one! I'm so happy! I shall try to learn it for myself.
i loved this new style of video from you! I would definitely enjoy more soundtrack analysis style videos from you in the future :)
Listening to some of the Stardew soundtrack again just now got me feeling nostaglic for the early 2021 lockdown period which was the first time I really got into playing Stardew with a group of my friends at the time and I definitely miss those days in a way, might have to revisit the game myself sometime in the future if I want to play something nice and laid back again.
Stardew has a special place in my life. Playing it for a few years now and since I'm really music-sensitive, the music is part of the experience and makes it special to me.
P.S: Beautifully played by you.
Glad you enjoyed Stardew! Love the cover and your musical analysis for the seasonal music!
Your insights at the beginning of the video were a fantastic addition! You should keep doing these. I would love to learn more about your thoughts on other music before playing :)
Man, i just loved this video so much. I think exactly as you! The winter song have such a beautiful feeling. It's between a melancholic, lonely feeling, with a powerful freshness. You can feel the cold breeze passing through your face. The timbre and soundscape are so magical. Feels icy and makes me feel lonely a bit :(
Oh my goodness! I'm so excited you picked the Wind May Be Still! I thought it was so breathtaking when I first heard it. That, along with the Night Market Theme are my favorites in the whole game.
I love this format of video from you, and would love to see more.
Been watching your content for years, and I dig the decision to put a love letter to the game in the video. Good vibes.
That is some Tripple-A-Content. Love to hear you talking about video game music. And your playing is of course also awesome as always.
Great video Sam. I'd love to see more in this style
I appreciate all the extra work this style of video took, the result is very much worth it! Thanks Sam!
What a beautiful and frankly impressive transcription of that piece! I also loved hearing your thoughts on the game and its music, and game music in general.
This was an awesome video. Loved your perspective on the score.
i cant believe i'm seeing this 3 weeks late!!! i'm so glad you find this song to be as amazing as it is, as many around me find winter music boring. i absolutely adore this song as it means a lot for me, and i love your experience/input and arrangement for it :-)) love you sam
Been loving the new type of content you have making! Keep it up! 😊
I have alot of fond memories playing this game I didn't know how special this particular song was until you played it at 6:25, I teared up a little definitely need to learn this absolutely gorgeous arrangement. Please continue doing the story telling in your future arrangements.
Incredible stuff. This made me feel totally nostalgic. I had a couple of sessions of "nothing but Stardew" months a few years back. That game is like a warm, cozy blanket.
Like a lot of other people here said, I really liked this idea of talking about the game, the soundtrack, and the track you want to cover. I know that it's gonna be more difficult for other games that you have less of a connection with, or that you have less interesting things to say about the track and the game, but it would be great if you could do more of this. I don't know if that last sentence made sense grammatically and I'm too tired to proofread so figure it out babe xoxo
The song was beautiful and it was cool hearing about your experiences with the game.
this is a really great video. i know its not something you'll do every time, but once in a while this is so so good
It's always an inspiration for me how you make this arrangements, bro. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Great video. One of the other winter songs, Ancient, is my favorite.
I love this tune, it brings a cozy vibe that a winter season asks for, but personally the submarine theme and the night market are my absolute favorites.
hella underrated channel bro. you should do more of these full game ost analyses if u haven't already, goes hard
I was thinking about the seasonal song changes when you were talking in the intro. I absolutely agree. Summer is my favorite!
love this format, please do it more often
really great video! and congrats on the new SGB album, it rules!
The way you play is so enchanting ❤ you can really tell when someone connects with a piece, and plays with their whole soul. Thank you 🤗
It's so wholesome to see you so genuinely enthusiastic and captivated by music from Stardew Valley. Shovel Knight has been my favorite game for 5 years now, not just because I love 2d platformers, but large in part due to that ever present and up in your face soundtrack.
I really love these style of video game music review videos, especially seeing you breakdown the melody bits of notbale songs on geetar.
Much love Sam.
Dont really play games anymore, but know when you or Steve and/or the bros colaboratively create something, its always amazing to hear, and this was beautifully done Sam, well done.
dude, the first time i heard the tune on winter it does hits me too! it is beautiful! winter is probably my favorite season based on the background music alone such as this, nocturne of ice, and ancient. love it!
I also love Stardew Valley. Gotta say I never would’ve guessed this song could get stuck in my head. Great job, you did it! Beautiful cover(s), great job!
Never played this game, but hearing you talk about it, the change of seasons, then playing your favorite tune, really moved me. thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
Stardew Valley is in my Top 3 favorite games and one of the few that I've clocked over 100 hrs in. If you want to find the perfect escapist experience, I cannot recommend it enough. It's a beautifully rich game with lots of heart.
I thoroughly enjoyed your commentary and cover! The video's style reminded me of how Paola Hermosin (another great guitar channel) covers music. It makes the cover so much more personal and meaningful. Also, your guitar skills are on point and have inspired me to practice more today ha
Top notch work, as always!
