This month marks the 10 year anniversary of Minecraft! This game was very special to me when I started playing it back in 2012 as it helped me get through tons of dark times. This song would always come up and remind me I was back to world that I had created and I could relax in. I know the game had a very similar effect on so many people and though it's seen quite an interesting a lifetime so far, it still remains one of the most played and loved video games of all time.
I had the pleasure of meeting Notch and C418 back in 2016 and talked with them about how much I loved the music in the game. In fact I recently told C418 how I was interested in doing classical guitar versions of his tracks and had been for a while. I hope I didn't let him down with this. I took a few liberties but really wanted to capture the feeling the song was meant to have.
This past weekend I was a part of the amazingly successful charity stream for The Runaway Guys: Colosseum where we raised $178,000 fir Direct Relief! I wasn't able to pump out a full fleshed out cover due to time constraints so I thought it would be a good time to give this one a try since I've wanted to for so long. Please go watch some of the highlights from Colosseum at http://www.twitch.tv/protonjon and I hope you enjoy this cover of a very important song to me!
