Flamenco guitar + cello cover of the main theme from The Last of Us, with ‪@DavidJayTheSpaniard‬. Shot in Edmonton, Canada where the HBO show was filmed!

Up here in Alberta, it seems everyone has been especially hyped about The Last of Us. From hearing that the production was taking over parts of our home towns during filming, to seeing familiar sites in the trailer and now the show, it’s been so fun to follow along! Of course it probably also helps that the show has been absolutely phenomenal so far.
I knew I had to get my good friend David Jay on board for this, given the soundtrack’s signature use of guitar by Gustavo Santaolalla. David is a huge fan of the games, a generous collaborator, and the most incredible classical guitarist I know. So thankful to David for bringing a flamenco flair and vibrant energy to this project!
I also knew we couldn’t miss the opportunity to showcase something recognizable from the show. Huge thanks to The Butternut Tree restaurant for letting us film in their gorgeous space with this amazing view of the Alberta Legislature building, the actual filming location for the ending of episode 2.

The building behind us is the Alberta Legislature here in Edmonton, and it was the actual filming location for the climax of episode 2! Special thanks to The Butternut Tree restaurant for letting us film in their gorgeous space with this amazing view! thebutternuttree.ca

Now normally I'm not a guy who digs covers a whole lot. Sure, they may be impressive and all with their instruments, and if you like the instrument/cover, I don't judge you. I even like to play covers on my Cello, but they can never get the feeling of the original score. But this one hits different. I think the stylistic choice of using the Cello to play the melody brings it out so much more. The only thing that I can say: Good freaking job. This cover is one of the few that I've ever heard and found as a genuine improvement over the original.
