Eterna Forest is one of the most special places in Sinnoh for me. I grew up in Washington state, and have always been around nature quite a bit, and I've really grown to value the feeling of walking through a forest, not knowing exactly where you're going, and just enjoying the beauty of nature. For me, Eterna Forest's theme encapsulates that feeling so perfectly - it's serene, mystical, and so wonderfully melodic... I love this music so much. This music also plays in Snowpoint Temple, the Lost Tower and the Solaceon Ruins, also very mystical locations!
I have honestly been so scared to remake this video! When I released the original Eterna Forest cover back in 2016, I had no clue it would grow to define me in so many ways. It's my most popular Sinnoh cover by far, and for the longest time, it was the video that I would show people when they asked what kind of music I made, and what my UA-cam channel was all about. The idea of trying to one-up that previous creation in a redone version for the Year of Sinnoh honestly made me so nervous, but I knew it had to be done. I knew I could keep the spirit of the original arrangement intact and make it just a bit better with my current skillset, and I am so happy to say that I think I've succeeded! Also, the date of this video getting uploaded (August 29th 2020) is my 22nd birthday! I wanted to celebrate how far I've come both in terms of my musical skill and also being alive in general by recreating this arrangement in the best way I possibly could.
The strings, piano and harp were all recorded at a session last December pre-COVID times. We recorded 6 tunes, and this is the 5th tune from that session that I've released. I've been sitting on the footage and audio far longer than I would have liked, but I think that releasing it now is appropriate! :) I opted to exchange the tenor saxophone solo at the beginning of this arrangement before the drop for a clarinet solo, which worked SO well. I wanted a sound that was a bit more simple, transparent, and had more high range, which is exactly what the clarinet brought to the table.
One of my gripes with the original arrangement of this that I did was that I actually got some of the chords completely wrong! Underneath the melody starting at 0:43, my original harmonization was Ami | Bmi | C | Dmi when it's actually supposed to be Ami | Bmi | Emi | Dmi. It's such a subtle shift, but gives that melody a whole new flavor! I also never bothered to transcribe a lot of the detailed background lines that give the original soundtrack version so much magical flavor, so I made sure to include those (harp, strings, and mandolin at 0:53, 1:09 and 2:27.) The only section I really changed from the 2016 arrangement was the addition of a disco strings buildup at 4:10. It's a little bit out of place on first listen, but there's a good reason why it's there! I've honestly come to associate a lot of my personality and who I am as a person with this piece of music... and this arrangement captures several sides of me, including being quiet around new people (0:00), very over the top energetic when I get excited (1:30), and a more introspective side at times (3:00). I wanted one more section to capture my general goofiness and sometimes out of place silliness, since that's something about myself I've more actively embraced over the past few years (4:10). Sounds personal and a bit cheesy I know, but that's how I am with music! I hope this piece of music connects with you even just a fraction of how strongly it connected with me :)

Always surreal to hear updated versions of your covers, cause I've heard the original covers of yours probably close to 100 times. (literally) It's like unlocking a different version of a track in a video game. And I can honestly say this one is better, and perfects a lot of parts that the original cover had.
What an amazing description for what it was to hear the original arrangement and now the new one (can totally relate to hearing his arrangements so many times)
I remember your old top 10/20 Pokemon music and yes I agree. Eterna forest is one of the best!
Thanks Ron! I kinda get those feelings too. Hope you can listen to this remaster for many hundreds of times over the coming years :)
Yes !!
I am from Brasil !
Great job
Greeat jjob
Sinnoh the best region ! Best musics!
Ron I love your Channel !!
Carlos !! I love your channel too!!
I just double checked if this comment was mine from a while ago because I've had this thought over and over while listening to these tracks. Frankly it's a little startling to read such an accurate comment about your own thoughts lol
Eterna Forest already hit different. Then this absolute CHAD had to come in here and have it hit different differnt. Then he said, "I'm gone make it hit different different different" with ANOTHER jazz remix. lawd.
Honestly... This is truly a one-of-a-kind arrangement. I don’t think it can be one-upped any more. It’s a musical masterpiece
@Arthur Filion no
If only the eterna forest was tropical, then it would be:
Insaneintherainforest
Insaneintheamazon
insaneintherainmusic if you ever get sponsored it’d be insaneintheamazonprime
And if he gets sponcered multiple times it's InsaneInTheAmazonComposite
Fun Fact: there are actually rainforests that aren’t tropical, such as many forests in Washington State
@Sneha Mukherjee They sure aren't! Look up Hoh Rainforest for perhaps the most famous example. It's famous for an insane amount of moss.
he is giving the birthday present to us, on HIS birthday.
just wanna say this is incredible, i love how everything turned out, it really feels like a true remaster of what you did years ago. also i must say, that ending was very touching. :)
Carlos: Ya Like Pokemon Jazz
everyone: YA I like pokemon jazz
ya
I’m actually SO GLAD that you kept the Route 209 and Pokemon Main Theme references in there! They were perfect the first time and were perfect this time as well!
Yes haha! They are very thematically appropriate
This video is tremendously important to me, and I am so excited to share it with you! My original Eterna Forest video is by far my most popular Sinnoh cover, and it's also a very personal song to me! Check out the original arrangement if you haven't, and I invite you to compare it to this one! ua-cam.com/video/hRGs8UovlTE/v-deo.html
I've wanted to redo this song for quite some time, but have always been so nervous to do it because I love the original so much. This video is getting uploaded on August 29th, which is my birthday (it's a good year when birthday aligns with a Saturday upload day haha), and I'm treating this day as a special occasion to finally release this new updated recording. Thanks everyone so much for listening over the years, and long live this version of Eterna Forest :)
Happy birthday
No way I’m missing this. And happy birthday too, while I’m here. Your covers have been great motivation to learn and improve at music in general. Thanks for being you!
IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!
To think we went from demented underground Carlos with a pickaxe to seemingly normal Carlos is truly astonishing.
And of course Happy Birthday! Wishing you well.
happy early bday! looking foward to this one
This is probably my favourite sinnoh tune. Excited to hear the updated version!
PYXB3 correct, was here a little early
Mine would have to be Lake theme :)
Squidward could never
🤣🤣🤣
This arrangement is astounding; I think we all can appreciate that. But I’d just like to point out that this seems to be one of your best-edited videos yet. The crop layouts are all super fun and vibrant (0:18 and 4:10 are examples that really stand out)...we see a tasteful return of your classic “snow” effect, paying homage to the original cover of this that served as a first impression for many viewers (myself included)...the camera-work on individual shots of the orchestra is so expressive and dynamic....it’s clear that this project has so many unseen layers of production involved in the filming and editing aspect alone, not to mention the time arranging and practice and coordinating with all those orchestra players! This looks and feels like one of your most professional music videos yet, which is by itself something to be proud of! You’re adding an air of professionalism and respect for the unsung greatness of VGM, which is actively fulfilling, if I remember correctly, one of the foremost goals of this channel.
Thank you! I’ve been going light on the snow effects lately since they don’t look as good as I thought on UA-cam with the way that UA-cam handles video compression, but I knew I had to use it to reference the original video! In fact I used a lot of the same particles at the same time haha! And you’re right about the rest of your comment too! I’m treating this very professionally, and there are a LOT of layers that went into making this production a reality... haha
...man, I'm going to be really sad when the year of Sinnoh is over, but I'll it enjoy it right now. Happy Birthday, Carlos!
All things come and go, and it’s best that way :)
The year of sinnoh?
@@insaneintherainmusic well, i better enjoy the rest of the songs that will come to this channel, im going to enjoy every single moment
@@schlock8922 I'm assuming he was covering only Sinnoh music this year. Next year he will move on to next region.
Its 2020. So im excited when this year is over
I’m jazzed to hear this
;) haha nice~
this is amazing
facts
Collab????? I mean you have very different styles of music but if anyone could pull it off, you guys could
@@jon_franklin there are already some collabs
like Giorno's theme with Carlos' torso
Love your Touhou covers, glad to see you're also an insaneintherain enjoyer
I can’t tell if you were crying at the end or just super emotional but either way I know I sure as hell was! Great cover as always man, and happy birthday! You’re the best!
HAHA I was actually just laughing at something that happened with the orchestra there at the end, but also maybe crying just a little bit lol
Tears of joy
I was actually going to comment about this being like a birthday present to me (my 18th was yesterday- the first away from family), but your birthday is TODAY so HAPPY BIRTHDAY and I hope today treats you especially well!!
-signed by an avid listener who loves watching your content and progression as a musician
WHAT THE i literally just discovered your original remix earlier this week and have been listening to it everyday! I've been listening to it during my walks in the park and it's been divine. Can't wait!!!
The Clarinet adds so much!
I totally agree!
It’s great to hear these tracks reimagined with live instruments. Someone has got to make a rom-hack with your arrangements as the BGM for these games. I wonder if it would actually translate well or if the music would be too distracting 😂
I don’t think the DS has the processing power/memory to play back recorded music like that
Also modding that into the game itself would probably take some maaaaajor legwork, given we take it as possible
It can, but it takes a lot of storage space, and the terrible crusty sounding speakers on the DS wouldn't do it justice.
3 years later and I'm still coming back regularly. This is easily one of the most beautiful and nostalgic compositions i have ever listened to ❤
OKAY so, all the hype and buildup for this moment is WELL worth it, and tbh the music was just as awesome as the original, if not more so in its own way! But, the thing that really got me was the ending. Seeing everyone so happy that the take went well, seeing Carlos on the floor... you can tell this means something to him, and a lot, at that. And you can *see* it. A creator having that glorious experience of one of his greatest works come to fruition right in front of his eyes. The memories, the meaning, he's experiencing it all at once. Carlos, if you're reading this, thank you for showing that experience you had at the end, and thank you for the whole video, too. And most of all, I hope you have a spectacular birthday :)
Haha! I cut out the camera audio from the end of the video, but I was actually on the floor laughing / crying lol, my engineer had just played a prank on me, so I was really happy from that recording being finished AND that joke being made lol
Seriously, when is Nintendo going to contact you to do official music for their games? This arrangement has so much depth and soul, and it would blow my mind if I heard a song with so much care put into it in a game. Amazing job as always Carlos!!!
I got a feeling that Carlos will secretly appear in the bdsp credit scene
If Nintendo put this in their games, people would just sit listening to this awesome music and not actually play the game, lol.
4:32 Everytime I hear that leitmotif, it gives me chills
same
It was like a truck of nostalgia hitting me in the face.
SAME! 😍🤤 I was hoping someone else had noticed it and pointed it out 😁
Carlos, I just wanted to leave a comment letting you know how appreciative I am of you. I discovered you a few years ago, and seeing someone only a few years older than me doing such great things with music has inspired me in more ways than I can put into words. I also wanted to add that, funnily enough, as kid I never played many of the games you feature in your videos. So, although I’m sure you have no doubt about this, your work absolutely stands up as great music on it’s own, with or without the nostalgic connection. Keep making great music man!
Thank you Jakob! I try my best to make my music special regardless of if you have any familiarity with the source material. Of course, that familiarity just makes it that much more special...!
The clarinet just gives me the chills, dang
4:23 I started crying damn this is that good
That part of the arrangement gets me too :)
ive been following you for years and the original eterna forest rearrangement is probably my fav piece of yours, i used to listen to it while writing when i was still in high school and im incredibly attached to it... and listening to this new version made me tear up a little. it kinda feels like the epic and emotional rearrangement of the first route bgm that plays during the final climax of a game, i could hear the passion and love in every single note of it. it was beautiful. thank you so much for your music and all the emotions that youve given us during these years, youre an amazing musician!
You are so welcome! Thank you for sharing those feelings :)
Man I can't even describe in words how much I love this. I'm pretty sure your first Eterna Forest arrangement is the song from you I've listened to the most, and I think it might have pushed me to fall back in love with sinnoh so many years after the games came out. Getting the chance to hear it again and updated just fills me with so many emotions.
Thank you so much, your music has truly touched me.
Aw thank you so much! Glad this is coming full circle for you :)
I can hardly wait, the first one was fantastic, I wonder how much better this will be
MARCO!
Polo?
@@chinmustache6420 Just a game I play with myself. Any time I find a Jellal with a, "Just Some Guy," tag I mark it. Like a game of Marco Polo.
4:35 - 5:03
Had to reel back and recover from that absolute punch to the soul. Incredible. This is amazing.
Darn I have to wait 18 whole hours to watch this masterpiece
Now THIS is the Pokémon we need. You sought to improve upon your previous arrangement and you succeeded perfectly. Thank you Carlos, and happy birthday. Please accept our joy and gratitude as a gift for your incredible work. ☺️🎉
Blown away. I hope no one on earth treats this as TREE-vial just because it's a remake.
Say true to your ROOTS!
@@insaneintherainmusic Puns are great aren't they. Happy Birthday btw.
Wow, you're making these at an insane pace man. You sure you're getting sleep, my dude?
Oh I'll have this on repeat for a while. It's fantastic!
Man, I trust Carlos to tell us if he needs a break so I sure hope he is!
I actually cried on the swell to the ending vamp, this is incredible dude. You should be so proud of the work you did on this 💙
Carlos: GOTTA CATCH EM ALL
How tf did you comment 19 hours ago??
Childhood memories... Sweet noons and nights hearing this tune playing with my old ds
This is so unbelievably good I tear up when listening
Thank you all so much!!!! The previous arrangement had been one of my favorite covers from the channel and I loved hearing this one as well ❤️❤️
Oh. My. Goodness. You have no idea how much this song made my entire day better. I sat down and listened to it with my headphones after a really mentally hard day and it was like magic! I just felt so happy and energized all the sudden! Thanks so much!!!!
It’s amazing how even the faster and more energetic sections of this cover are soothing to listen to. You not only get the feeling of a beautiful forest, but one that’s also teeming with life.
I feel like you typically throw a lot of passion into your videos, but this one. This one is just bursting with heart and soul. You make some of the best arrangements, keep it up Carlos!
I went HARD!!!
I'll always love how the sun shines through the shadows of the trees in Eterna Forest. Thanks for all the wonderful covers, and I hope you have a great birthday!
Wow, I remember playing this game & hearing the beautiful music coming from eterna forest in 2007 back in elementary when this game had came out, 15 years ago.. thanks for the upload!! It brought back so many memories.
This made me cry tears of nostalgia
A very happy birthday indeed! You've completely enhanced the sonic "identity" of your arrangement from the last one, and having extraordinary players alongside you really brings this out. I can't imagine playing this level again without knowing you've perfected it! Unless when you turn 32 we get one more....
Ohh yess Eterna Forest baby !
Thanks to every musician
I love how active the woodwinds are at the end. Also I really love how the saxes have the 16th note minor 7th arpeggios keeping the rhythm in the first part where everything starts happening!
I lost count of the chills I got from this song
Absolutely stunning dude, I've listened to your first version of Eterna Forest countless times and you've made it even better. This is the musical equivalent of Cheryl healing my pokémon after every fight
Thank you!!!
Is it weird that I feel kinda proud of seeing you conducting a full orchestra? You are great at your stuff! I watched your last video and all, but I'm so glad you decided to do this one before quitting.
I have never played a gen 4 game, so while all of your arrangements are fun to listen to, none of them made me nostalgic or want to play the game just off of that one song. I have no idea what it is about this theme, but somehow it makes me nostalgic and now I just really want to play this game. Thank you carlos for the wonderful arrangements, keep it up!
I dont think at this point in my life there are many things that give me this much joy, its just... almost unreal
This is seriously one of, if not the best arrangement of any VGM song that I have ever heard, hands down. In fact, this is my favorite piece of music that I've heard in quite a long while. The energy, emotional depth, and vibrancy that you bring to this track is insane! There are just so many elements to love throughout. From the excitement and drive of the arpeggiated full band section with that gliding melody line overtop, to small things like the natural textures of the toca seed shaker. Just really great job man! I saw you at MAGfest a few years back in that little cafe bar section in the main lobby, but I can't wait for the day that I get to see you on the main stage with your own big band behind you! Keep it up!
I listened to the original Eterna Forest a few weeks back and I got such a wave of nostalgia from listening to it, and I get that from this and so much more. It’s just as mysterious and serene as the original but adds so much energy to some parts and it all just sounds so good! Thank you to everyone working on this and all of these videos and Happy Birthday Carlos! It’s really hard to express just how much I love this arrangement but I hope this can suffice.
I gotta say, I’ve never cried to a piece of music unlike this one
This one pulls on the heart strings... for someone who has never experienced Pokemon, this is an unexplainable feeling when im listening to this...like so many people we need an escape from life...to get away and your music helps me and so many other people achieve that escape...Thank you so much for the music you continue to produce and will keep producing. Love you and your music. Keep up the amazing work and continue to be a musical inspiration to so many others
YESSS I AM SO HYPED The original arrangement of yours is, and I know I often say this, one of my favourites of yours, and I'm SO HYPED to hear this! ;W;
IM SO IN LOVE.... EVEN AFTER YEARS I KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS COVER
I think my favorite part of this video besides the music and the buildup is the fact that everyone looks like they’re having a blast. All the smiles and the happiness while playing really made me feel good in a weird way. I love all the hard work you people put into this. It’s amazing and I can’t stop listening to this.
This is one of the best covers of Eterna Forest that I have ever heard. It's always been one of my favorite Pokemon tracks.
This is going to be so GOOD DUDE I CANT WAIT AAAA
Oh boy. The original one was the first video I saw of yours, I can't wait
The clarinet solo was amazing! Definitely blends with the orchestra well
Thanks! Clarinet is SUCH a good blending instrument!
Geez, that section from 4:11 to 4:38 literally almost brought a tear to my eye. This cover has a lot of variety and polish and that clarinet at the beginning is a REALLY lovely touch. You've seriously outdone yourself with this re-do!
My god, you guys are PHENOMENAL!!!! This was such a beautiful rendition of Eterna Forest I teared up a little. Cannot fathom how this doesn’t have more views and will definitely be going through your other videos! 😁
This is amazing. As a clarinetist, it makes me so happy to see my people represented lmao. Also, I have two suggestions: The City of Tears from Hollow Knight, and the Swords of Justice trio theme from Pokémon Black and White. Also, happy birthday!
The use of a clarinette for the intro is definitely a great idea. It gives a more "volatile" feeling that suits perfectly the mysterious aspect of Eterna forest.
This is far better than the BDSP version. Insaneintherain you are truly a legend.
YOUR CLARINET TONE IS AMAZING!! IT'S SO SMOOTH! I honestly love this re-arrangement and I was able to enjoy it more because I knew the original somewhat well. This is honestly amazing!!
Thank you! I played clarinet a bit back in middle school and elementary school, but the sax embouchure carried over pretty nicely!
Two things i'm lookimg forward for this new release:
A snowman intermission
And that you have a nice and celebrated happy birthday
(We already know the arrangement will be good :P)
Unfortunately no snowman, but still a masterpiece nonetheless
ooooooooooh those first notes of the oboe
chills, literal chills
Sinnoh soundtrack always full of magic and relaxing vibes
The Eterna Forest theme is probably my favorite songs from Generation 4. It miiiiight even be one of my favorite video game tracks of all time. The feeling I get in my chest whenever I listen to it is indescribable. It always reminds me what kind of power video games and music can hold for people.
Anyways, great arrangement, Carlos. It really was excellent and I think you did top your original arrangement with this one by a fair margin.
Oh, and Happy Birthday. :)
It’s such a great piece of music, yeah :) Thank you!
*Can't wait!*
Killer man. I love those massive octaves in the double bass and bass clarinet in the intro.
Yessssss big bass notes!
Made me cry tears of udder nostalgia, only DPPt and Colosseum can make me do that. This hit me so hard man, thank you for taking me back to the good old days
The song is absolutely amazing and all, but can we take a moment to appreciate the team galactic pikachu he has on the mantle?
I just found your channel and i'm blown away. I have such a stupid grin on my face hearing your music, keep up the awesome work~
Welcome! Hope you enjoy it here!
my GOODNESS! this is so relaxing and heavenly.. i just encountered this music because of the Eeveelution Squad comic! well its dubbed but gosh.. this music takes me up to heaven and brings me back memories!
I loved the original theme from the games, always an area I came back to when I needed to relax. I loved your original rendition, reminded me of those moments when I was younger playing the game, and this just makes that feeling tenfold
I'm glad to hear it! Thanks for listening :)
I LOVED the original!!!!
I can't believe you somehow managed to make an already perfect arrangement even better! Also, happy birthday Carlos, I hope you have a damn good one :)
Thanks!
this is genuinely the most beautiful piece of music I've ever listened to
I heard the first notes on the piano and instantly smiled. Beautiful.
So iconic!
This was soooooo goddamn amazing. I really can say it was immaculate - perfect, at least in my eyes. This made my month. Thank you for your beautiful music that you share with the world, happy birthday, and good luck!
You know how in the Gold/Silver/Crystal games, when you go back to Kanto, the songs are the same, but updated, and more heroic and nostalgic? This arrangement feels like the equivalent of that for your original version of Eterna Forest. That was the first arrangement of yours I ever heard, my introduction to your music and channel. I may have gotten a lil misty-eyed hearing it again 🥺
Magical. Just Magical.
This legitimately put tears in my eyes
Excitement!
[After reading description:] EXCITEMENT!!!
[After listening/watching:] *IMMENSE JOY!!!!!*
Also, bappy hirthday!!! XD🎈🎂🎁
I listened to the old Eternal forest cover you did so often that each note was engraved into my brain, now these new notes are tripping me up in the best way possible 👌 such an excellent improvement
Edit: OH MY GOD THE PRETTY SOUNDING NUT SHELLS ARE BACK THANK YOU CARLOS
Those nostalgia goosebumps hit you like a freight train
Aww all the smiles at the end are great
Hey Carlos, just found out that we share birthdays. Today's my 16th birthday. Great job (as ever) on the arrangement and Happy Birthday!!
Well happy birthday to ya :)
Old cover vs new cover
You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about
This is the first song that has made ne cry in a while. Its beautiful. Thank you for the great music
The amount of instruments you can play is insane
After making a cover of this song myself, it's nice to hear yours! l love 0:53
This is beautiful as its own stand-alone piece, but I'm not sure how I feel about it as an adaptation - I feel like the original is a piece that lives through its pauses, its slow tempo and the room it gives itself to breathe.
Don't get me wrong, I love the energy of your arrangement. It just doesn't fill me with the same peace and tranquility the original version does. Eterna Forest has always been a place of quiet contemplation to me, with a little bit of melancholy hidden in-between.
Oh totally agree - this would be very out of place in the game, I think maybe the first 90 seconds as a loop could work in the game, but the rest of the arrangement is just me having fun and telling my own story with the piece!
@@insaneintherainmusic I'm glad you had a good time with it in any case, fun is always the most important part! :D
And happy birthday! ❤️
Last time I checked up on this channel he was just in his room or something. NOW HE HAS A WHOLE ASS ORCHESTRA????
This by far my favorite remake so far. The original was amazing, but this just made it THAT much more amazing. You're an inspiration, thank you.
