Shooting this music video was one of the craziest experiences of my life! To access the stone ruins, the entire crew of 15 people had to traipse through the woods at night with all our gear - crossing rickety bridges and climbing uneven terrain. Our official trail guide was a trooper and stayed with us the entire night, swinging in a tree hammock. We didn't finish shooting until 5:00 am, but it was a total blast. It was eerily serene watching the sun rise as we drove back to Atlanta that morning...
The next night, we filmed all the underwater footage at a residential pool. Diving in for repeated takes with my full outfit (boots included!) was an amusing challenge, and we almost drowned a couple of times… but all in the name of art! XD
~~SPECIAL THANKS~~
- To the entire cast and crew - not only for working hard, but also for making the entire experience so awesome!
- To my amazing Kickstarter backers, without whom this video would not be possible
- To my dear friends, Larry Oji and Paige Rohe, for hosting me in Atlanta that week. You guys rock!
~~LYRICS~~
Deep in the brume of juniper and fern,
A moon overhead and stones at my feet,
I walked through a veil of cypress and birch
And came to a surface painted with leaves.
Voiceless, a child appeared in the brush
And smiled with a hush, all dusty and tanned.
But before I could speak, she ran to my side
And knelt with a flow’r she placed in my hand.
Dancing, singing, voices ringing
Rising, falling, giving, being
Waiting, growing, teaching, knowing
Waxing, waning, ebbing, flowing
Faces gaze upon me.
Ageless figures come alive.
Deep in the brume of juniper and fern,
A moon overhead and stones at my feet,
I walked through a veil of cypress and birch
And came to a surface painted with leaves.
Voiceless, a mother came with her child
And smiled with a hush, all rosy and tanned.
But before I could speak, she walked to my side
And knelt with a key she placed in my hand.
Without a sound, they mouthed the words of mystery,
And I knew no translation for the history they gave to me.
Deep in the brume of juniper and fern,
A moon overhead and stones at my feet,
I walked through a veil of cypress and birch
And came to a surface painted with leaves.
Voiceless, a crone appeared in the brush
And smiled with a hush, all twisted and tanned.
But before I could speak, she fell at my side
And lifted a tome she placed in my hand.
I'll never forget the first time I heard this song all those years ago and now after all this time it honestly gets better every time I hear it I love coming back to this song
Wow.....When I was looking for Forest Temple music from Ocarina of Time, I did NOT expect to come across this. I love it
I have always loved the Forest Temple music, now I love it all over again.
This is singlehandedly the best Zelda cover I've heard in my life and probably ever will hear oh my g o d
God, this is beautiful. I just keep coming back to it again and again. Your voice/arrangement is like a symphony of flowers.
+RebeccaETripp agreed. her voice is very smooth and clear
I think the two of you would work very well together if you did a future collaboration
The Universe is yours! A masterpiece no doubt!
I would seriously love to see this done with all the temples.
This is a timeless classic! A certified platinum discovery that should be heard across the world.
Kind words - thank you so much!
Spoiler alert: woman gets kidnapped in the woods by forest hairdressers.
There is no way this is already 9 years old
True nostalgia, thank you so much for this gift ❤❤❤❤
Jillian, your voice is absolutely melodical. This is my brand new number one favorite song.
Aw, thanks! I'll be performing this song (among many others) live this Saturday at 9pm EST here on UA-cam! Would love to see you there: ua-cam.com/video/kYde7sY9xVA/v-deo.html
Discovered this song during the Critical Role mid-show break over at Geek and Sundry. Awesome tune.
Today during the beginning
Me too!
Spice?
David Shively-Ertas _cough cough_ Do you spice? _cough_

So awesome the three people who appear are a child, a mother, and crone showing the phases of life the child offering a flower and dancing, the innocense of childhood, the mother offering a key, as you become an adult more things unlock to you and crone offering a tome is awesome almost like the wisdom accumulated over a life time, but with "no translation" is shows that many things life are unknowable until you reach that point.
I remember i came across this as a child when i first descovered loz and was absolutely blown away. Now, literal years after, i am so glad this got recomended to me, because i am once again completely blown away by both the music and the video. I love it!
Oh. My. God. This is amazing. I got shivers from the nostalgic music of Legend of Zelda. Jillian, you need to make more of this stuff, it's incredible!
Incredible. It opens the idea of wonder, and the possibility of magic in the world. Ambient like the original, with an excellent spin. 🗡 🍃
This is simply.... stunning... I have no words to describe such feeling, seeing one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite games come to this, from a song so bland and simple to this equally eerie but much more elaborated and meaningful version.... I've never been so speechless
I played this game 25 years ago and this blew me away. Beyond my imagination and just incredible.
So eerie and beautiful! Your take on the Forest Temple theme is sooo creative and cool! Hope we'll get to see more videos like this
You have created another meaning to the word beautiful
All these people that see them as the poe sisters, I suppose they could be seen as they, but I think they are not. The Forest Temple was merely a motif for telling the story of the three. See the little one with the horns, she's the "maiden." She touches the traveler and they are made like her. Then the "mother," and finally the "crone." Each touches touches the traveler and makes her like themselves. Finally, fleeing from being the crone she struggles but comes to a place of peace. Looks like a metaphor for life couched in pagan symbology. The only thing I don't quite get is the "maiden" also being the horned one. Ah well, cool song with a re-imagining of the Zelda theme.
She's young and has new growth antlers?
Just rediscovered this song! I had it saved on a zelda mucis playlist i had made years ago, this is such a beautiful song! Will be listening to it on repeat all day lol if not for a week straight ❤
The scenery/atmosphere just took me to a familiar world! It plucked my nostalgic heart strings.
I didn't know what to Expect.
But now I have goosebumps and a catchy melody in my head. Thanks.
Wow. Unexpected and mesmerizing. I use to find this theme unsettling and creepy but this....this gave it a whole new beautiful feel! *two thumbs up*
I fell asleep watching the last runs of AGDQ2021 and woke up to this song like some spiritual experience. But even fully awake, this song has some power behind it! Fantastic arrangement!
Smiled with a hush of twisted intent is an amazing line.
Actually, it's twisted and tanned.
*My FAVORITE song from a Zelda game, adapted in the style of my FAVORITE movies! The Dark Crystal, meets Labyrinth (AND Pan's Labyrinth) Legend, The Never Ending Story, Legend, the list goes on! This is freakin' epic and beautiful, I think I'm gonna POP!!!!*
I'm a bit late to the party on this one. (Uploaded 7 years ago! That's a whole Hero of Time ago!)
But this whole thing was beautiful. I love the vocals and the rhythm of the lyrics, and the video screamed "mystical fae". Perfect.
A whole hero of time XD
Beautiful piece. Everyone always say ocarina was a masterpiece just for the 3D graphics but in my eyes it wasn't the graphics that caught my attention but it was the composers behind the game I feel like is what made the game come alive. From sarias song to the gerudo valley, every little bit and piece itself is what made this game something very memorable to this day. Good Job and hope you do more!
To me it was both. It was both my friend.
I listen to this every day at work and it boosts my productivity by at least 100% every time. I can't believe the talent.
Not many songs give me chills--I tend to hate literally everything or at best tolerate things, but this satisfies every part of my spirit.
Beautiful. I always loved the errie musical sound effects of the forest temple
Summertime Sadness. Don't ask me why. Loving this song ! 💚
I listen to both you and your husbands works for years. I love how you guys took a chilling and haunting song from a wonderful game and made it even more chilling, elegant and haunting with your beautiful voice. Keep up the fantastic work.
You are a very talented singer and deserve more popularity.
You should do more of this!! maybe "Spirit Temple"? my second fav. song of this awesome game, first THIS :D
YES!!!!
Second this, love to see her turning into an iron knuckle or even just twinrova appearance
Just amazing
This song and video are beautifully done. Love the story told in the video, and the surreal nature of it, yet it was also able to the followed. And the way you rearranged and remixed the Forest Temple music is just gorgeous.
i remember watching this in about 2015. still loving it!
I always love returning to this video. The Forest Temple music has always been my favorite, and you captured its song so beautifully; the imagery and story in this video are just so amazing
Thank you for the kind words! It was my very first fully produced music video, and still one of my absolute favorites to this day.
The writing, environment, tone, and lyrics got me rock solid.
Awwwwwwwww, yeah, I loved the Forest Temple music!
This was absolutely magical. Yessss this theme was always so haunting and this is PERFECT!
Jillian you win the internet!! This gave me chills all over!
I keep coming back to this one lately and I've been meaning to comment on it. I like to imagine this as a 'what-if' story of Link's mother disappearing into the Lost Woods one evening, some time before the war and meeting the Deku Tree.
Fate (and/or fae trickery, perhaps?) brings her to a grove in the Sacred Forest Meadow, where she meets three druidesses, denizens of the manor tucked away in the labyrinthine boughs of the woods. As if her coming was foretold, they recognize her kindred spirit and entrance her in a spell while they prepare a ritual to initiate her. In her trance, she receives visions of what has passed and what's to come, though they're so obtuse that she can't make sense of them (as the second bridge would suggest). The three become distracted and she breaks from the trance, jolting away from the scene in a panic as she trips into a pond, where she is cleansed from their influence and magicked away to safety. When next she wakes, she reflects on the experience and her visions as she makes ready to return home. She realizes that where she once sought escape and freedom from her burdens, she has found hidden knowledge and a renewed sense of purpose...
...I dunno. There isn't enough lore about Link's family to go around, honestly.
This is simply incredible.
Since day one of the upload, I absolutely enjoyed the artistic work everyone placed within this video. All of you are so talented, and everything was accomplished with a classy and fascinating style.
My dream was to make an _Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask_ film duology.
I would've definitely hired you to record songs for the end credits of both films.
The arrangement of the Forest Temple is absolutely haunting and beautiful. When I got the album via KS, I didn't know at first it was an intentional Forest Temple remix, but I started recognizing certain cues upon multiple listens which made me realize the connection. Not many people tackle the Forest Temple sadly, but you guys did an excellent job in refreshing the music.
As for the music video, definitely not what I was expecting. Very creepy and eerie. I expected you to lip-sync to your song throughout most of it, but the fact that you chose just one bit makes it all the more special. I also thought that those forest nymphs would dance around you in tune to the song, but the transformation sequence was a much better choice to go with.
Absolutely amazing, peaceful.
***** Lamento mucho. :'(
Wow! Such magic! It's kind of like Enya, kind of like sometime else I can't quite place. I see a lot of 90's pop influence in here. Maybe Delirium. I'm amazed! :D
Looks like we meet again.
Orinoco Flow and Anywhere Is.
U made me a fan of this piece esp your vocals
Magnífica interpretación , sublime
Found this on OC Remix. I love their site for remixes of video game music. I have always loved the forest temple music, and hoped there was a remix on there. At first was a bit disappointed because there was singing. As i listened, i fell in love with your version. Well done. I will be listening to more of your work. Nice job :D
love it! the costuming and make up are incredible too!
The music you make are perfect lullabies that put me to sleep on many nights.
Totally gorgeous rendition!
Just... amazing. Hypnotic chant.
Well a video with the awesome song. Im quit happy. thanks.
The fact that you took a soft and erie instrumental and turned into this is incredible!
I love this song. I repeated it at least 10 times in the last 10 minutes.
Now here's one of the best examples of a good cover I've ever found.
Forest temple music always creeped me out plus the twisted hallway and going in fucking circles in the courtyard. I love this some much!
This sounds fantastic. I hope she does the Spirit Temple next. Her vocals would be great with an eastern sound.
This couldn't possibly be anymore amazing.
Amazing my eyes and ears were just blessed with this work
This is the most amazing thing I ever had the sincerest pleasure of hearing! Outstanding performance! Well done!
This song is so addictive... I can't stop hearing it @_@
This is a wonderful piece of artwork and song.
EVERYTHING IN THIS VIDEO IS BEAUTIFUL
I love the costume chsracters the third one is so compassionate. The fitst one is so gentle and the second one is so loving. Love it Jillian!
I love how the entire video is basically just a surprise makeover party.
This is a gem!
This was my favorite song from a Zelda game and you actually made it better! I loved this remix before and seeing a video just makes it better.
This is super cool!! Amazing job. You should be so proud of this!
I'm glad I got to listen to the full song; when this song was featured on Extra Remix I didn't realize it was on Atlantis Awakening. This album just edged a little closer in my wishlist/purchase queue.
This is eerie as hell, and I love it.
Everything about this production is top notch! I love it!
This is so amazing - I loved it!
Totally addict to this cover... You're amazing!
It gives a whole new meaning of sacred forest... Mystical, Haunting, but Beautiful.
Wow. That was phenomenal. The mix of drums and your voice is enthralling.
Enchanting. Your voice is beautiful.
Heard this song on Atmospheres 49. What an Awesome voice you have!
Purely amazing
So awesome!!
Thanks, hon... Not like you had anything to do with it... (jk jk) 😂
@@JillianAversa I feel like I know this music, don't you ? ua-cam.com/video/TMiPfE4S5sE/v-deo.html
Gorgeous. Perfectly haunting, my favourite song in OoT. You are just awesome x
So beautiful!
It so funny! I consider "The Forest Temple" one of the least memorable songs from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The first thing I though when I saw that you based your song on this song was "Oh my God! She had so many memorable songs to base on, but she chose this one? Why? Well... lets give it a try", and... well... Jillian did it again. This song is perfect! Very touching and I simply can`t stop listening to it. Congratulations Jillian!! :)
i discovered this cuz im a big zelda geek and oot pwned my pre-pubescent years. This interpretation is gorgeous, fantastic video production too. I am thoroughly impressed and intrigued - subbed!
Really loved it!
Belíssima música. Muito bom mesmo! Parabéns pelo arranjo, interpretação, gravação etc... Nota 10!
This Fits the Song PERFECTLY
Wow. Was not expecting to find this when I search forest temple music. Great work.
stunning!!
Love it!!!!
I found this video very beautiful. I also like the use of the triple goddess of Celtic mythology in the song!
incredible song
I love this song so much.
Katethegreat19 a.k.a Erutan brought me here!
Amazing voice, and epic work!
