    I absolutely love this cover.
    The beginning starting off slow and soft, as if it were a prayer being whispered.
    THEN it hits you with hard electric guitar as a juxtaposition to the previous softness to deliver the original feeling of the song which was, “This fight is now over, this is OUR theme, and we have won.”
    This is the only cover that made me tear up like the original arrangement, so this is definitely a 10/10 interpretation of the original

    Our song of hope
    She dances on the wind
    Higher, o' higher
    E'er our vows endure
    And remain forever strong
    Standing tall through the dark do we carry on
    On wings of hope
    You rise up through the night
    Higher, oh higher
    Carrying our song
    Cradled fast within your arms
    That its chorus might ring for all
    Tumbling down to the never!

    Best song of Endwalker for me, and you absolutely killed it. Absolutely incredible. And the art is so damn good!

I feel like your drop after 1:40 could have been a bit harder for my taste :P Turning the tides and stomping the strongest creature known in the universe needs a bit more oomph, if get what I mean haha.

    The following commentary is going to be a little critical of the work. If such criticism, kindly discontinue reading now...
    First I want to say that the music in this was nothing short of amazing! The soft symphonic start before transitioning into the epic rock definitely threw me off in a rather delightful way. That being said, however, it is also because of this powerful contrast I found that the tone and style of the vocalist to be at conflict with the rest of the composition. The vocalist here sounds very light and delicate, which is why it quickly felt like the music was being delivered rather heavy-handedly against her, even though it wasn't. The vocalists for the original version of this song have a more clear and firm presence, very much so in the style of a symphonic metal lead. Woods' sound, however, sounded overshadowed and makes me want to hear a different version of this, perhaps in the style of the softer beginning part, but for the whole song. I can easily hear the voice matching beautifully with that and I would strongly encourage you to consider it. :)
