I think Enola Gay by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark is a perfect example.

It sounds upbeat and fun but it's about the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Some of the lyrics are incredibly powerful and I still get chills when I hear it.

I actually ended up watching all your other videos too since they weren't too long and I liked them all - definitely my kind of content! I thought the Labo stuff was especially cool so I'm looking forward to that next video you're teasing!

Thanks for sharing! The keycaps are cool but the video demo was next level! Every time I thought that was surely all you could do with it, there was another, more impressive application.

Also when you were showing off the image creator I was surprised there was no reference to a certain 80s music video. Little did I know...

Another excellent post, thanks for sharing! As someone who really likes rhythm games, Dead as Disco looks very interesting!

It seems a bit like Kickbeat mixed with Hi-Fi RUSH.

Found it now! That was a fun one, thanks for sharing!

I really like their energy! I also listened to a couple of tracks off their album from last year and it's impressive that they released what seems like a really solid album after such a long hiatus!

This was a bit of a happy accident, not really what I was looking for but still ended up being very cool! I hopped around a bit between both artists' top songs and I think this could be great music to work to also when the howler monkeys would otherwise be a distraction!

Not at all, it just shows the broken image icon for me where I assume the link should be. I tried loading it in the browser and it was the same. Could be a federation or client quirk!

That particular video wasn't loading so I had to watch it on YouTube but I'm happy there are still working Invidious instances, I didn't realise that was the case! Other videos loaded for me on there just fine. The cover was great too, I saw she also has a cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit which was also good!

That Paint It Black cover was very cinematic, maybe not so mellow but I really liked it anyway. I haven't seen Westworld at all but I can imagine a scene with a song like this in would be amazing! Is it worth watching?

These genre-bending covers are great! I found another Mac Glocky video which was if SOAD covered Mr Brightside. That plus the Korn one makes me think I need a reverse version of this post too!

Someone linked Enter Sandman before, it's great there's a whole album of this though!

A few weeks ago there was a post asking for suggestions for female fronted heavy music and I was really grateful to OP for starting the conversation and everyone in the comments for coming up with really great suggestions.

I'm wondering if we could have a similar discussion to share more mellow covers of heavier songs. Usually when I'm working I prefer listening to less intense songs and a chill cover of a heavy song I like is somehow very interesting to me.

The song that got me wanting more of this niche was a cover of Toxicity which I've had on repeat this week. I can also think of this cover of Seven Nation Army which is kind of similar as an example but I don't really know a lot more like this.

Does anyone have any similar recommendations they enjoy?

Edit: All great suggestions so far, still working my way through them! I remembered another song which is this cover of Firestarter by The Prodigy

 

A bit of context for anyone who hasn’t played Dota 2: Here a player (Rainino) is telling another player (Gh) that he’s good at the character he played (ES/Earth Spirit) but not nearly good enough to compete at the biggest Dota 2 tournament in the world (TI/The International). Gh then replies that if the other player were to check their game there is a digital copy of the tournament’s trophy with his name on it since he was on the team that most recently won at the time (with a shared prize pool of over $10,000,000).

This screenshot was posted by Rainino themselves on the Dota 2 subreddit but I thought it fit perfectly here!

 

There were lots of little moments in this video that made me smile so I thought I’d share it here in case you missed it!

Saw this guy in today’s game that made me laugh and it reminded me of these two legendary clips: https://youtube.com/shorts/-FVBUAlDDh0 https://youtube.com/shorts/XNCMrEJId-Q
