One of my absolute favorites! This song is so insanely pretty. This one stands out a lot among the other in the Starcraft OST and it works perfectly for classical guitar.

Hey, Sam. You were one of my earliest guitar influences. I started playing guitar at 21. That was 8 years ago. I listened to the Super Guitar Bros covers, and watched as you started your own channel! My favorite stuff so far has been Chrono Trigger Main Theme and The Ocarina of Time covers! Also, your Outset Island cover was brilliant! Thank you for being such a great musical influence. I have performed for crowds, and have been paid for my performances. You are doing great work, and your passion was a true influence for me! Have a blessed day, friend :)

I’m so happy to hear that Ramenko! It’s been a while now hasn’t it .. pretty wild to think we started doin youtube stuff over 10 years ago. To hear stuff like “one of my earliest guitar influences” sounds almost absurd until i realize how long it’s been! Totally checks out : ) Thanks again and keep crushing that G. Also, sick animations.

Dearest Helena, By now, the news of our defeat has reached the Earth. The creatures we were sent here to tame are untameable... And the colonies we were sent to reclaim have proven to be stronger than we anticipated. Whatever you may hear about what has happened out here, know this : Alexei did not die a hero. I killed him... My pride killed him. And now my pride has consumed me as well. You will never see me again, Helena. Tell our children that I love them, and that their father died in defense of their future. Au revoir.
