22 years later, and Golden Sun lives on. It will forever be a part of me, as it influenced me in so many ways. I really wish Nintendo would show it some recognition it deserves, like a Switch Release (and maybe even a remaster). It deserves it.
The strings in the opening really help cement the feeling of finality that Venus Lighthouse represented for the first game; Then the electronica theme kicks in to make it otherwordly within its own context, without shaking that "fantasy" feeling at the same time. Good work as always!
I love Golden Sun so much, especially its music. The choice to give this piece such a somber start as opposed to the original is such a cool idea. It gives a fitting weight and sense of finality to the theme of the last dungeon in the game.
With the way this is arranged; it really reminds me of the final dungeon theme of Tales of Symphonia. Orchestral and bombastic, yet only just enough to accentuate and not overtake the piece. Both have, to me, a somewhat similar feel yet clearly different. Needless to say, I really love your rendition of this theme. Even as a dumb 9-year-old child when this came out; I was absolutely enthralled by this. Thank you for both the nostalgia bomb and sharing your rendition to us!
I saw your comment of "Oh heck yeah! Sakuraba time!"... As... "Oh yeah! Here we go! Sakuraba time!" Which made me think... "I've never composed video game music before, but I'm going to give this everything I've got!"
This arrangement captures the essence of this part of the first Golden Sun perfectly. An almost close to ending journey, as the team rushes to the top to stop who they believe are harming the world. It portrays the determination and stakes of it all, with the short calm segments as a reminder to keep focused, with a straight mind. Now's not to get excited, as it's not over yet, while at the same time, knowing an epic battle is soon to commence. Beautiful, I love this a lot.
Absolutely love this track and your rendition of it, love how you kept it more upbeat and borderline jazzy rather than going HUGE and EPIC like so many other covers of this. I desperately wish Golden Sun would get more attention. I was going to grab another commission but looks like they're closed, shoot! Looking forward to when they open again.
Maybe I've been playing to much of them lately, but this hits like an Ys theme, the up beat bob of an electric rock, I just love this kind of video-game music, it's awesome.
This has been on my playlist for work recently, so I've probably heard it at least a dozen times in the last couple weeks. And the intro still gives me goosebumps every time. This is wonderful!
Venus has to do with one of the four elemental stones and towers that are lit by them in the series. It's what sets everyone off on a grand quest. One party to light the towers, the other to stop them. The games cover both sides and it's not always so black and white. 👌😌 The lore is really good too!
This is really good - only thing I'd even think of changing is the "whining" instrument in the chorus, probably to something like a cello or violin. Or perhaps acoustic/electric guitar? Of course, take this with a grain of salt. These are my personal ideas - this arrangement is stunning.
There's a lot of MIDI music in Super Mario Galaxy that could use an upgrade. The creepy boss theme, the speedy/daredevil theme, the rolling theme, and Deep Dark Galaxy, to name a few. Also the beta theme originally meant for Cloudy Court in the second game.
Hello Evelyn, my name is Chris, and I am currently working on a series of videos titled Project Weyard, and I'd love to use this song and perhaps a few others for upcoming projects. Your work is amazing. I see that you are fine with people using your music, but my question is where and how can I download them? Many thanks.
Guys i need your help! I used to listen to another orchestral rendition of this amazing tune but i can’t find it anymore 😭 The track started very softly with the melody being played at the piano, then there were some violins coming in and it exploded in a beautiful mix of instruments… The image cover displayed an Earth djinn surrounded with notes on a brown background If anyone finds it let me know ❤️
This arrangement slaps.
It's nice to see that Golden Sun isn't forgotten.
Venus Lighthouse is a hard one to get right, and you knock it out of the park while also making your version sound unique. Well done.
Overworld Theme Two (Marching Forward with Determination) next??

You have reignited the beacon of nostalgia in the lighthouse of my childhood.
Perfection, as with EVERY Golden Sun cover on this channel…
Hits me so hard in the feels.

YES
Oh heck yeah, Sakuraba time!
A top-tier track for sure. Great arrangement, interesting dynamic/instrumentation changes.
I saw your comment of "Oh heck yeah! Sakuraba time!"... As...
"Oh yeah! Here we go! Sakuraba time!"
Which made me think...
"I've never composed video game music before, but I'm going to give this everything I've got!"
Oh shoot, wasn't expecting this! Great to see the Golden Sun music still getting love after all this time!

Beautiful, I love this a lot.
I never finished Golden Sun, but I loved what I played. Hope it gets a remake one day
We all hope so
Golden sun + Noble demon = awesome
I bet she will do wonders with the more melancholic, mysterious and slow themes of golden sun like Garoh or the Jupiter Lighthouse
As I stand here listening to this while waiting in line at a Lego store I have one thought: Golden Sun would make for an amazing animated series.
HOLY SHIT IT'S HERE
Love Golden Sun so much, thank you for this.
Really gotta give this game a replay at some point.
Bro I still have the originals I have Golden Sun 1 and 2
Yet another masterpiece Noble Demon
Absolutely love this track and your rendition of it, love how you kept it more upbeat and borderline jazzy rather than going HUGE and EPIC like so many other covers of this. I desperately wish Golden Sun would get more attention.
I was going to grab another commission but looks like they're closed, shoot! Looking forward to when they open again.
I’ve never clicked a notification so fast
I love Golden Sun tracks, great to see you on it
AWESOME!! The golden sun will rise again!
Maybe I've been playing to much of them lately, but this hits like an Ys theme, the up beat bob of an electric rock, I just love this kind of video-game music, it's awesome.
Yesssss
I feel like you just cover video game themes I like. These are some of the best interpretations of these songs I've ever heard.
A Golden Sun arrangement...
Awesome and Beautiful! :D
This has been on my playlist for work recently, so I've probably heard it at least a dozen times in the last couple weeks. And the intro still gives me goosebumps every time. This is wonderful!
Beautiful... this bring me back to the good old days
I love this song!! I’m working on a video and would to use your arrangement! I’d be happy to provide credit/links!
Absolutely amazing!!
I don't know much about Golden Sun music but since it contained "Venus" in the title, it picked up my curiosity!
What a beautiful intro! :O
You're missing out on that soundtrack!
@@BlaxeFrost-X I've listened to some of the music, definitely a good soundtrack indeed! ^^
Venus has to do with one of the four elemental stones and towers that are lit by them in the series. It's what sets everyone off on a grand quest. One party to light the towers, the other to stop them. The games cover both sides and it's not always so black and white. 👌😌 The lore is really good too!
Venus is Earth
Mars is Fire
Jupiter is Wind
Mercury is Water
The composer is making the soundtrack for the new One Piece rpg coming soon called One Piece Odyssey.
0:56
That lead synth for the melody hurts my soul lol. Everything else is pretty damn good!
Fantastic job! I really love all your arrangements, this one is one of the best!
So glad you’re still making Golden Sun music. Perfection!!!
yo that intro was amazing
Amazing!
This is really good - only thing I'd even think of changing is the "whining" instrument in the chorus, probably to something like a cello or violin. Or perhaps acoustic/electric guitar?

Broooooo that was epic 🤘
Incredible I love it so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even when you try to make it slow and mournful, you can't NOT make those opening notes of Venus Lighthouse uplifting and motivational.
Golden Sun never dies!!!!!!!
Beautifull!!!!
Holy fugg this is so good
amazing
This rocks :D
Espectacular

Almost died just by looking at the thumbnail!
Hermoso
Wow the violin in the intro is so pretty. Was that MIDI? I'm impressed. I'd be impressed if it were live too, but in a different way lol
Jesus, I didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't this
Cool vid 👍
hermoso
I hope you cover Walk with determonation from Golden Sun 2
I'm guessing you're a fan.

Shoulda been in Smaah
Any chance of doing stuff from Shining The Holy Ark or Shining Force III?
Guys i need your help! I used to listen to another orchestral rendition of this amazing tune but i can’t find it anymore 😭
