I don’t know if you still do music, but I just want you to know this is my favorite cover of my favorite video game track to this day. There’s so many beautiful things about it.
I literally got chills when you brought the melody from Corridors of Time into the arrangement. Then the French Horn happened and I started crying? This is so beautiful.
Ryan, dude, seriously never give up. This might be the most original cover of this song I've ever heard. You have the talent to do anything you set your mind to. 10/10 will listen again.
RELATIONSHIP GOALS: getting a significant other that will caress u like ryan caresses those acoustic guitar strings 😍 (this was the most G-rated goal I could think of. The others involved the drums, the ocarina, and the french horn.)
@@RyanLafford your work derserve canddle, prays, goodVibes for you and your family… or money but let me be a crypto billionaire before ! … i’ve just paid my house this year, next bullrun will for all of you who boost me by any method
This is really fantastic, man. You've a serious talent; I'm a bit late to the party on this video but it's my absolute favorite arrangement of this beautiful song. One of the great things about making arrangements for these amazing 16 bit compositions is the technological limitations leave some room for the imagination, yknow? Please keep making videos
This is, without a doubt, the best version of this song to exist ever. I remember discovering this years ago and listening to it thinking that this was very good, and then there's the pause, key change, and a completely different feel. My jaw literally dropped and I was hit right in the feels. Goosebumps for days. This is a major accomplishment that you should be very proud of, and you deserve so many more subscribers and views from this video alone.
Just discovered your channel. Listened to the first 2 minutes. Subscribed. Told my wife to check it out. I'm a metal head, but my love for Chrono Trigger music far outweighs my adoration of progressive metal. This cover is the SHIZZ-NIT-. So. Thanks for making it, dude.
Bro. I just found this cover today and it instantly became my favourite cover of this song ever!!! You truly made this cover your own and the ussage of your instruments is perfected like... Just wow! Amazing cover!
I love any excuse to hear Schala's theme. Found you thanks to the Ness submission to the ULTIMATE Smash Medley. I NEED the whole song btw. Thanks for covering this beautiful piece
Just a really great, fresh arrangement. From the darker mood, to the electronic sounds mixed in, to the emotional guitar playing. Your version brings new life to the piece.
I liked your version of this. The subtlety accentuates the sadness that this melody captures quite well. Chrono Trigger music is not just some of the best music ever composed, the game itself is in a class of it's own...unrivaled to this day...which in itself is kinda sad.
You have such creativities! All these intruments and songs effects are incredible! Chrono Trigger is not far my best game ever I've played in life, played when I was a child - the music in that game are such good memories for me... and this cover of schala's Theme wasn't at all easy to realise if only considering is depth essence and tenderness rythm. You definitively got it! Your cover touches me deeply into my heart.
Your instrument collection is growing so much, it's incredible! Such a peaceful arrangement with unique percussion and instruments :) Def checking out Chrono Triggers over the summer!
You've got a great selection of instruments there, and they work really well together! I don't know if the Corridors of TIme part is always in there, but it turned out great. Also nice to see a pendant ocarina put to good work!
+ENGLAND IS MY CITY thanks so much T__T As of right now I don't have any of my stuff up for sale on online platforms, I just use Patreon. But I feel like that's something I should look into since I've had a few people ask now!
Quite a journey. I wasn't expecting to become emotional over this song, but here I am, hoping my partner doesn't walk in and need me to explain why I'm crying.
Whoa, somehow you've managed to get even more feeling and soul into the song with this cover. This goes to one of my favourite covers of this theme for sure! The way you play the main melody is just perfect. One tip with the video itself though. It's a bit disorienting to see you play the repeating ostinato with an acoustic guitar in the beginning, while the actual melody in the track is played with a xylophone. I'd advice against that kind of discrepancy between audio and visuals in a music video.
A triumph of arrangement and mixing. And holy shit, is that a ghatam? Imma have to get you on board for some spoopy atmospheric covers with that bad boy.
I don’t know if you still do music, but I just want you to know this is my favorite cover of my favorite video game track to this day. There’s so many beautiful things about it.
feels like i was just digging around in the ground and uncovered a magical stone that's been buried for centuries ( or like, five years)
This is still the most brilliant and beautiful cover of Schala’s Theme on the internet.
That change back to the original key caught me off guard in the best way possible, absolutely amazing.
I always find Schala's Theme to be hauntingly beautiful. I'd get chills everytime her theme plays.
I literally got chills when you brought the melody from Corridors of Time into the arrangement. Then the French Horn happened and I started crying? This is so beautiful.
as soon as the guitar hit that first note i melted. thank you so much for this
I keep coming back to this one. Absolutely timeless
Ryan, dude, seriously never give up. This might be the most original cover of this song I've ever heard. You have the talent to do anything you set your mind to. 10/10 will listen again.

I don't know how the hell I'm just now finding out about this. This is beautiful.
OMG! What a great cover!! Yasunori Mitsuda is the man and you too are the man Ryan Lafford!
This deserves way more views, as a Chrono Trigger fan and amateur musician myself this pushes all my buttons firmly
I keep coming back to this because the part with the key change stabs my heart so good
Nice percussion bro.
Love that lil drummy boy gifted by the gods and goddesses of your patreon.
I wouldn't have thought that an acoustic cover of this song would ever work. It has a different feeling for sure - but it's great!
Wow, Schala's theme and Corridor of time make me cry... and you choose both of them and mixed them together so brightly... many thanx.
+Tsugoï XXII aw shucks, I'm really glad you like it !!

Hey man. Thanks for doing this. It's truly a beautiful rendition.
Gorgeous!! The more liberated bass during the second section is really satisfying.

Thank you so much for this nice comment! It makes me so happy that people are still enjoying this arrangement years later ☺️
Incredible arrangement. Absolutely brilliant. And beautiful!

This cover is the SHIZZ-NIT-. So. Thanks for making it, dude.
i can only imagine how long you were working on this. The Future Pirate King salutes you
Chrono Trigger music + Ryan Lafford = acoustic masterpiece. LOVE. THIS. Definitely deserving of an extra sub more! ;)
Ryan this actually just improved my day on a ridiculous level. Thanks man :^)
(Also, mad points for the Corridors of Time in there).
One of my favorite VGM covers on the site. This one's special
Dude this gave me goosebumps AWESOME job

Oh man the ambience in this cover. So many goose bumps
This is such a beautiful rendition of this song.
I liked this video, I Liked this video, and I think this is one of the best covers of this piece of gaming music I've heard ever.
Just a really great, fresh arrangement. From the darker mood, to the electronic sounds mixed in, to the emotional guitar playing. Your version brings new life to the piece.
Thank you so much for doing this. I feel what you put into it. Real heart and soul. You nailed the vibe.
Beautiful! Brings back memories 😍
This is what you think when someone says “do it with love”. Thank you, so much.
This is so atmospheric and wonderful, I love it. Amazing job!
Awesome~!!! This whole arrangement is such a journey
This is perhaps my most favourite VGM. Stellar job.
Well you just made a grown man cry., I hope you are proud of that,
Pussy
Spectacular! I love the mashup
This is a beautiful cover Ryan
Just found this. Very good, man. Great variation and style.
I've listened to probably a couple hundred Schala covers. I think I'd put this in my top 5, great work
I need this cover in my playlist right now! please? such a good cover by the way.
I liked your version of this. The subtlety accentuates the sadness that this melody captures quite well.
Chrono Trigger music is not just some of the best music ever composed, the game itself is in a class of it's own...unrivaled to this day...which in itself is kinda sad.
This is awesome! That fretless bass was the perfect addition to this song

SO good 2 years later. I'm gonna keep coming back and commenting every 2 years until I die.
Thank you, it's so powerful. It really works on me, I'm inspired now!
I forgot why this cover in my playlist, 2:50 one of the reason. Goosebump. ❤
Also, that Corridors of Time motive so good
This cover is just so incredibly good.
One of the most creative covers of this piece I’ve heard yet. Outstanding work man.
So mesmerizing, you did an amazing job here, relistening to this periodically and always hypnotized
Simply beautiful.
Udu #2 was on point :D Awesome rendition ryry
Awesome, just so much expression.
Chrono Trigger music is soo good. I just heard Schala's Theme in game earlier today. SO PRETTY

He's playing natural harmonics in the guitar.
This is the absolute best
Oh man this is good
Fantastic arrangement!
Excellent cover.
This is amazing!!
Ryannnnnnnnnn! This is awesome!!!

A triumph of arrangement and mixing. And holy shit, is that a ghatam? Imma have to get you on board for some spoopy atmospheric covers with that bad boy.
Thanks so much, Peter!
It's actually an udu, which seems to be pretty similar? They're both clay jugs!
Cool! I've learnt something new today :)
