So last weekend I went to my cousin's house and I played my new favorite game of ALLLLLL TIME. BIOSHOCK INFINITE. Holy shit this game had everything I could ever ask for. It's a first person shooter, it has cool weapons, amazing graphics, a great plot and SUPER AWESOME MUSIC. Like I could seriously not ask for anymore. Since that weekend, I have been listening to all of the Bioshock songs on repeat.
So to explain why there are covers of the song, I have to first explain part of the game. This game takes place in 1912. There is this girl named Elizabeth. She has this special power where she can create tears that let you go into alternate universes, the future or the past.
So yes this game takes place in 1912 but a lot the music you hear in the game is ahead of it's time. They're all covers, so you might not even notice at first because they sound so different but when you do it's amazing! The game music is super duper cool as well. It's gorgeous and fits whatever part you're at so perfectly. I don't know how to even begin to describe it if you haven't played the game.
I have so many more favorites, but it would take more then one blog post for it all.
How do I even begin? This song is what sold me. From the moment I got strapped into that chair and started flying and the song started and I saw Columbia, I WAS IN LOVE.
When I was exploring Columbia, I encounter Columbia's Gayest Quartet! It was beautiful. I stayed and watched their whole performance. I actually clapped. I have a soft spot in my heart for Barbershop Quartets (probs because of the Dapper Dans at Disney) and this was just icing on the cake.
I'll end this last post with my absolute favorite part of the game. It's right after I finished the battle in Shantytown. I was exploring around for some more loot when Long (my cousin) was like "You should go to that bar there, trust me." So I did and I heard a old time cover of Tainted Love on the phonograph. BUT THAT'S NOT THE COOL PART. I could pick up a guitar and Elizabeth would sing with me. The song seriously sent chills down my arm.
