Music streamer stuns viewers with improvised Darude Sandstorm piano cover Australian Twitch streamer lara6683 turned up the heat during a broadcast where she covered the iconic trance track Sandstorm by Darude. While taking donations and song request as part of her November 4 stream, Lara, had just finished covering Legend of Wind by Nausicaa when viewer and fellow streamer czech_meowt asked her to play Sandstorm. The old-school video game enthusiast had to quickly listen to the track to re-familiarize herself with the 1999 hit. \u201cI haven\u2019t listened to this track in a while,\u201d the musician said. \u201cSo let\u2019s see if anything new leaps out at us.\u201d Lara proceeded to ponder what she would do to spice up the fan-favorite theme for her stream. \u201cI\u2019m probably going to make this a bit more chill,\u201d she stated. \u201cThere\u2019s not a whole lot to this track when you think about it.\u201d As she continued to think about her approach, the song requester czech_meowt appreciated the streamer\u2019s effort. \u201cThis is amazing,\u201d they wrote. \u201cThank you for entertaining me with this request.\u201d Darude Sandstorm is well-known for not only being played at sporting events and other media but for its place in meme culture. In internet culture, streamers who play music in the background are often asked by viewers what song they\u2019re listening to. Viewers sarcastically reply \u201cDarude \u2013 Sandstorm.\u201d It is because of the song\u2019s deep meme ties that it was likely requested to begin with. Eventually, the piano player worked her magic and put together an impressive impromptu cover of the hit song and even pulled off a great outro by dialing back the pace and fading out majestically with a big smile on her face. What makes it even more special is the fact that Lara\u2019s songs are not rehearsed, and it\u2019s all chat-driven content from requests. Lara\u2019s musical talents have earned her quite a following with over 200,000 on the streaming platform. Her YouTube channel documents some of her best covers featuring tracks from games such as Castlevania, Chrono Trigger, and The Legend of Zelda to movies like Halloween and Jurassic Park. There\u2019s no telling how much bigger she can become if she keeps producing solid covers like this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
