I love how the charm of the original is still very much there, and yet the instrumentation is all synthy (sort of reminds me of risk of rain 2). Thanks so much for sharing!!

Message from the artist
This was hard. Covering songs is hard for me, I found out. It was also really cool. I hope to have made this masterpiece justice and to have been able to add something more to it, however small this addition may be.

Description
I used FLStudio 20 to make a cover of Merry Go Round of Life, a song that deeply marked me since the first time I've heard it. I wanted to take it and cover it in my weird sorta synthy-proggy-rocky sorta style that I have, and that I did!
It's the first ever actual cover I've done, it's been really hard to have to adapt to something that's already written instead of just molding and shaping it however I feel like it. A really cool learning experience for sure.
