jolyfis: IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO REALIZE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THOSE FLOATING ICE CHUNKS HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THIS omg. I’m legit tearing up over here. Oh man. Oh man. OH MAN. —— okay, now that my initial reaction is out of the way, WOW SUPERGIANT. WOW. You guys are geniuses, evil geniuses. I didn’t think this game could make me cry anymore, but you have proved me wrong with a single screenshot. Every time I think it can’t get any worse, IT DOES.  I thought Kid losing his mom and sweetie was bad. I thought Zia’s story was tragic. The Calamity itself, with its broken world and ash people, that killed me. Zulf’s story made me sob like a girl. Saving him, and the ending with the Ura, gave me chills and more tears; I cannot remember a game sequence making me feel that way. Ever. It was beautiful. But THIS… This I can’t handle. You’ve gone too far. And too far was just far enough to make me love Bastion even more. Now excuse me while my day is ruined because I can’t get this image out of my head. I hate love you. tl;drThe Calamity: it sucks. ———- edit: ;__________;

I did this AGES ago… I don’t even remember why I recorded it, except I was bored— and it’s always interesting to listen to yourself.

Anyway, Zia’s song (“Build That Wall”), vocals only (unless you count me keeping time on the piano in the background as percussion). A few mistakes or whatnot, but it is what it is. I didn’t bother re-recording for perfection; it’s like a really rough first draft. A vocal first draft.

Did I mention I recorded this on my phone?
