LYRICS:
[Impresario]
The battle between the West and the East was growing more fierce day by day.
On the battleground during a furious skirmish, the soldier Draco of the Western castle Garou thinks of Maria, whom he left in his homeland...
[Draco]
Oh, Maria
Oh, Maria
Though I call you from afar,
Will this message reach your heart?
Oh, how I long to be with you!
[Impresario]
The West was defeated, and Maria's castle came under Eastern control.
Maria, forced into marriage by the Eastern Prince Ralse, does not abandon her feelings for Draco, but thinks of her lover each night as she watches the skies...
[Maria]
Oh, my hero!
My beloved!
Shall we still be made to part?
Though promises of perennial love
Yet sing here in my heart
I'm the darkness you're the starlight
Shining brightly from afar
Through hours of despair, I offer this prayer
To you my evening star
Must my final vows exchanged
be with him and not with you
Were you only here to quiet my fear
Oh, speak! Guide me anew!
[Impresario]
Mustering the last of their strength, a handful of survivors from the Western armies gather to lay siege to Castle Garou.
At the van, leading the ill-fated charge, is a lone hero.
And though battered and scarred, he fights with the spirit of a thousand, felling one Eastern soldier after another.
Yes, Draco has returned!
[Draco]
Maria!
[Maria]
Draco! I knew you would return to me, my love!
[Ralse]
Insolent rogue! Knave of the Western Horde!
Would you address my Queen-to-be, Maria?
[Draco]
Never shall you have Maria's hand!
I would die before that day comes!
[Ralse]
Then we duel!
[Ralse]
I yield... this day is yours, Draco.
Curse you should you let Maria go!
[Draco]
Peace, then! For you have my word
With me she'll know nothing but peace!
[Ralse]
Maria! Maria!
I love you so!
[Draco and Ralse]
Maria! Maria!
Return to me!
[Maria]
I am thankful, my beloved
For your tenderness and grace
I see in your eyes, so gentle and wise
All doubts and fears erased
Though the hours take no notice
Of what fate might have in store
[All]
Our love, come what may
Will never age a day
I'll wait forevermore...
I'll wait forevermore!

Staff Roll (Cover)
Переглядів 15014 днів тому
Cover of the Ending Theme from Super Mario 64, also known as Staff Roll or End Credits. Composed by Koji Kondo. This little tune is hard not to like - it's simple, sweet and sentimental. The melody is great and memorable, while the arrangement itself has enough twists and turns to keep you listening. One of my favourites from the game.

Liberi Fatali (Prog Rock Cover)

A progressive rock cover of Liberi Fatali from FF8! I arranged, sang and played keys on this big arrangement. The choir was layered up to 40 times on each line, which was crazy! Inspired by Nobuo Uematsu's version with Earthbound Papas.
Violet Sky (Jazz Cover)

A cover of Violet Sky from Hotel Dusk: Room 215. This is one of my favourite video game songs of all time; the melody is amazing, and the harmony is full of rich jazz influence - it's beautifully sentimental. I gave this song a slightly different flavour, but I've been meaning to cover this song for over a year - it's only now that I feel confident I've done it justice. Enjoy! (Also known in Ja...
Demise of the Ritual (Symphonic Metal)
Переглядів 122Місяць тому
A rock orchestral cover of Demise of the Ritual from Shadow of the Colossus. The mortality of this song gives it a really heavy feeling; this point in the game is emotionally complex. The toll of slaying 15 colossi is taking a toll on Wander's body, which is absorbing the evil of these giants - these guardians of a forbidden land. Deep down, he undoubtedly knows that slaying this last colossus ...

An electronic rock cover of Normal Battle from FFX! I've been playing through Final Fantasy X recently on my PS2 and a few of the tunes really stuck out to me - I was quite astonished that this song didn't get old even after about a thousand battles! I had previously attempted a remix of this song - it was built mostly on the original MIDI data with new sounds, and I don't think it sounds very ...

A full English cover of The Future I Dreamed Of, from Yakuza Like a Dragon and LAD Infinite Wealth karaoke! I did a lot of work for this, but managed to finish it all in a day. I played the bass guitar and created the whole instrumental from scratch, then translated the lyrics from start to finish and recorded vocals - it was a grind, but I got it done! I wouldn't have made this track without y...
Hollow Bastion (Band Cover)

A band cover of Hollow Bastion from Kingdom Hearts, by Yoko Shimomura. This is one of my sparsest arrangements yet, with just six instruments - but I think there is a real clarity to using less here! I love the 4-over-5 rhythm, and a strong drum and bass really help to drive it. I was inspired by Ben Zimmermann's cover, where he performed all of the band instruments by himself!

I eventually sat down two months later and grinded out the remaining parts until it was good enough! Original compos...

A prog metal cover of one of my favourite video game songs of all time, Howl of the Departed from Lost Odyssey! Composed by Nobuo Uematsu, with lyrics by Hironobu Sakaguchi. I did all the vocals as well as the electric organ parts. This song is a true rollercoaster, with avant-garde harmony, progressive rock and metal influences and a great dramatic melody! The rap is also very dark and morbidl...

A full English cover of MachineGun Kiss from scratch! I remade the whole instrumental and recorded all vocals. This was actually a mostly-complete demo that I shelved over a year ago for my album, The Video Game Songbook 2 - just after the release of the first album. I just couldn't get the guitars right. But I revisited it this month and, with my more experience, I was able to fix up the track...
Answers (Symphonic Rock Cover)

A vocal, orchestral and rock cover of Answers from Final Fantasy XIV! Nobuo Uematsu's vocal themes are always a treat, and Answers is no exception. It's a rich and storied vocal song from the early days of XIV, which has become one of the biggest MMORPGs of all time. It's included in Before Meteor to this day.

Awesome! Should've filmed the singers though
Awesome 🎉
Good voice. How long have you been studying vocals?
I took singing lessons for 4 years! I haven’t taken any in a while, though.
Btw do you take any requests or inspirations? If so Id like to suggest Castlevanias „Cross your heart“ but the Portrait of Ruins version as Cover from you since I am pretty sure you would nail it nicely

Nice bro! Will there be an Update soon for smash remix? I want shadow in it 🙂
could you do a song from XVI? like away, or to sail forbidden seas?
I haven’t played XVI yet, but I’ve thought about it. Maybe one day.
Nice!
(Edited after listening) tHE WAY I IMMEDIATELY SCREAMED UPON SEEING THIS ON MY FEED-- After having listened to your Promise and Believe covers over and over, I'm so excited for a new song! ;u; !!! Edit: Super relaxing and super wonderful. I didn't realise it was in both HD and LW! Your rendition captures a really humble but proud victory. Definitely something to come back to when (hopefully) Kyle Hyde is announced for Switch! Praying it's during a September Direct for December this year (but it'll probably be December next year hahahaaaa)
Thanks! I hope Kyle comes back too!
You are a fucking legend.
I need an extended version of this...
Underrated
been listening to your music on amazon and i have to say i love it, your voice works so well, i love this and if i could love the one i love, honestly well done!!!!!
Why it not shows up when I searched youtube? Absolute banger btw. <3

Everything about this is amazing, got me emotional just like any good music hitting in the heart does.Keep it up! ^^
Hi there. I wanted to ask you if I can make a lyrics video for this song and Promise, with a spanish translation besides the original. There's gonna be the credits for the creator of the cover (you) and the link of the original videos.
Yes, that’s cool!

Fire as always 🔥
Beautifuruuuuuuu
Sounds very nice, it has a less "epic" feel compared to XV's soundtrack but it's way more fitting that Afro's track. Question, will this mod also change the track for when you're weilding the Afrosword?
I actually have no idea, I didn’t test that. If you do, then let me know!
Nice cover. I love Last Window
This really hits home for me Ive been dealing with a break up for 4 months now and I still love her, unfortunately she got over me,but I realized I pushed her aside and didnt show her how much I loved her, she was my first relationship and i blew it
Cette musique est magique, et la nouvelle version que a faite est spéctaculaire. Je l'écoute tous le temps et elle me berce tellement que tu la rendus sublime. Un grand bravo a toi. ps : peut tu faire un remix aussi belle que celle si de la musique "ultimate show" de "Super Paper Mario" sur la Nintendo Wii. s'il te plaît, Merci beaucoup
incroyable, bravo 🎉
Your covers made me. Wanna actually try my hand at singing. Fuck depression fuck OCD. I’m gonna pursue my dreams. Seriously. Thank you bro 😢❤❤❤
You can do it!
