This cover was done as part of this month's 8-Bit Battleground event! What is that? Well, it's a thing and 7 of my online friends put together where we all do our own cover of the same song, and the song for each month is chosen by you the viewers, from a pool of songs we've selected. Make sure to check out everyone else in the list below for their cover of this song! (AnimalisaKeys was not available this month due to being out of the country, but still check out her channel anyways!)

For this cover, I didn't want to do any more than one full go through of the original song since it's already 3 minutes long before looping, but I still wanted to add a little bit to the end, so I went with just going back to the earlier part of the song and then coming back to the 7/8 riff towards the end and ending in there. I also changed the intro slightly by putting that 7/8 riff underneath so make it a bit of my own, plus I'm a simp for odd time riffs so I had to do it haha.

This song was also very challenging to play, between the constant stamina needed to play the bass parts and the crazy keyboard parts of the original that don't translate to guitar in a very friendly way, but I managed to pull it off!
