Coming soon! Hehehe. I'm all unorganized.
Answers is a song from Final Fantasy XIV, composed by the incomparable Nobuo Uematsu.
You guuuuys. So... I tried filming this video with all the vocals and backgrounds, to make an old-school type multiple-window kind of video... but I didn't like it. And to be very, very honest, I feel that at this stage in my life (with a toddler), time to work is super limited and I'd much rather spend it focusing on making music than on video filming. I hope that by keeping videos super basic, I can release songs more often.
Hope you like the cover! :D
And I hope you're all well, happy, and safe.
Love,
Malu

This song hits different after Endwalker. And this is an amazing cover!

[@Lrbearclaw]

Hear (the song of creation's end) Feel (the sorrow at hope's deminse) Think (and find your way in the Darkness)

[@malufenix]

Thank youuu!

[@Genericusername1004]

There’s actually a few remastered versions of this song on the ost check it out when it launches

[@rivenoak]

_Thou must live, die and know_ ... i wonder if they planned so far ahead when they closed the 1.0 servers with that song

[@Selvokaz]

@@rivenoak the skeleton of the entire arc yes, but all the stuff in between and just how many expansions there was to be before they told the final story of hydaelyn and zodiark no.

[@VLarraechea]

Oh crap, didn’t expect we’d get FFXIV from Malukah! One of the most beautiful songs in the game too, thank you for this!

[@malufenix]

Thank YOU for watching :D

[@VLarraechea]

@@malufenix Always a pleasure to! All your covers are fantastic! Been here since the early days too, and it’s been amazing to see you around even still! Hope it all goes well for you in the future too! (I know how toddlers are very well, lol)

[@banzai0905]

Same lol

[@sprinkletrackskopa3646]

It’s an amazing song!

[@benhagstrom2185]

Right? I clicked the thumbnail and 2 notes into the song, I geeked out so hard I had to get up from my computer and walk around for a minute

[@Sinceretic]

This is beautiful One can only hope for a Dragonsong cover too ´w`

[@malufenix]

Thank you!!

[@jorakfalconstar1053]

Dragonsong would be awesome. I think Malukah's voice would be really well suited to this song in particular.

[@GENOSANDIEGO]

"The Dragonsong Comes"

[@ratoh1710]

@@jorakfalconstar1053 Absolutely! She is absolutely amazing at the slightly melancholic yet hopeful tone, and the Dragonsong is all about that. The grief of previous betrayals yet still holding on to the hope of one day reaching the peace and harmony they briefly achieved once more.

[@cjrecord]

I'm not going to lie: I screamed when this showed up in subs. And it's fully as good as I expected.

[@malufenix]

hahahaha! Awesome. Thank you, CJ!

[@gamedjinni9543]

1000% truth: I literally checked Malukah's page last week to see if she'd done this song. This is nuts.

[@malufenix]

Oh, this is awesome :D Glad this happened hehehe :D (And thanks for visiting my website!)

[@Itharl]

Oh man, this is my favorite song from the FF14 soundtrack, what a treat! Beautiful as always, so happy this popped up for me!

[@Lrbearclaw]

Answers was the top song in my book until Endwalker. Let's just say there is a song that MAY dethrone it when you come to it. (Play Endwalker with mount music off.)

[@malufenix]

Thanks for watchiiiiing! :D

[@Itharl]

@@Lrbearclaw Oof, I got a ways to go to get there, I haven't finished Heavensward yet, haha. Looking forward to it though, I will do that :D

[@Ajkkl21]

Dragonsong is also amazing from heavensward.

[@jedimasterpickle3]

@@Lrbearclaw ...final zone music? If so....yeah fair enough I get that. Powerful zone theme

[@HinekoAkahi]

Answers is one of my all-time favourite tracks and this interpretation is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much!

[@malufenix]

Thank you so much, Jannika!

[@tripwire76]

This song is in my playlist for over a decade now and I just felt as if I heard it for the first time.

[@malufenix]

What a beautiful compliment!!!! Thank you!!

[@sharmsong]

Beautiful 💙

Shaaaaaaarm. Thank you!!!

[@jedimasterpickle3]

This was an absolutely gorgeous cover. Glad this showed up in my recommendations.

[@amlugonnen5106]

The way I am freaking out about this cover cannot be described. One of my fave songs sang by one of my fav singers. Amazing, like always

[@malufenix]

Heehehehe! Niiiice, thank you!

[@emmapandamon]

Omg.. what a cover, definitely cried ❤️ Your voice is beautiful!!

[@AriahMusica]

I dropped EVERYTHING to listen to this the second I saw it!!! This song means so much and you executed it so beautifully. Thank you!!!

[@malufenix]

Ariah! Thanks for taking the time to watch this when it was posted. Yaaaaay!

[@OracleGrouse]

this might be my favourite cover of Answers. I quite like the different take to it (mournful) compared to the original which is more akin to a cry of despair in face of death and oblivion. ffxiv has so many songs that would sound amazing in this style. Dragonsong, Heavensward, Tomorrow and Tomorrow, Flow. Even Equilibrium for lyrics alone

[@DogmaBeoulve]

I love these simpler takes - as compared to the bombast of the original - because these feel like performances you could actually stumble across in the world of Final Fantasy XIV itself ^.^ Erutan did one ages ago and it was absolutely amazing - I'm beyond pleased that Malukah is lending her incredible talent and beauty to this wonderful song

[@UndergroundHound]

Man, this song always makes me tear up with memories. Beautifully sang.

[@DrEldritchPlays]

This particular version, more than the ones from the game, holds a feeling of sorrow. Like a haunting memory.

[@justinthewaygaming]

I've heard a few renditions of this song, yet once again you completely make it your own. Such a beautiful voice and talent. Thank you for this gift!

[@avraa.s.5223]

I’ve been following you since you released your cover of The Dragonborn Comes and I only happened upon this now! I love FFXIV and Answers so this made me cry! Thank you for all your gorgeous music!!! ❤️

[@luscarora703]

This is so beautiful! I'm so happy you covered it.

[@MyTvIsDead]

What an incredible cover ... this song lends itself perfectly to your beautiful voice. Thanks Malukah !

[@javiermora7075]

Love it!!! Your voice, the arrangement, the color the song has is so beautiful

[@Piaras002]

I've been waiting for this cover for years! Beautiful! Thank you so much Malukah!

[@synjarimyriam]

I've forever loved your love of Elder Scrolls and the covers and songs youve done for them. I remember losing my shit hearing your voice in ESO. ;) It makes me so happy to see you give FFXIV love. It's such an emotional song that forever makes me cry... and even moreso after Endwalker.

[@MuffinBreeder]

OH MY GOD! Literally been checking daily ever since I saw this was upcoming. An absolutely beautiful cover. Legit tearing up. Thank you so much!

[@ScreechingTrashGoblin]

There’s a certain genuine energy and warmth to the delivery here, which is beautiful and does the song justice. It makes me believe you want the message to be earnestly considered, while being strangely comforting in it as well. Beautifully done!! ❤

[@PrydeAidan]

Oeef! That is a brave song to cover if you ask me. Answers is a verry powerfull song and manages to give me goosebumps every time even on a hot summer day. This whille it didn't give me goosebumps it gave me the shivers. Hats of to you my lady. I will have to lisen to this again but with my headphones tomorrow and give it more justice

[@malufenix]

Hahaha! I was terrified the whole time because it’s such a huge song that was tricky to try to “minimize” to one person. The original is so special! With the combination of the choir and lead female vocals. ❤️ I will quote Tenacious D, “This is just a tribute.” Hahahaha! Thanks for listening!

[@TsukoNiten]

i needed more Malukah in my life, thank you !

[@malufenix]

Thank you for saying that :D Makes me feel happy :)

[@TsukoNiten]

@@malufenix Thank to you, your songs helped me so much since years. Since your tribute to shepard song that i discovered cause it was used as the end song for the Happy mod for Mass Effect 3 :D hugs from France !

[@kcmichaelm]

Well this was the “crossover” I didn’t expect! Very well done, Malukah! I really liked the crescendo building through the second stanza, it’s such an emotional sounds and it needs that energy. Thank you so much.

[@shogenx]

the first time i scene the trailer and heard this song i was so enthralled by it

[@SolPhantasmagoria]

_Answers is such a powerful piece of music. Dropping it down to be in a more comfortable range for you and slowing it down to better fit the acoustic sound was a good touch. I really enjoyed your performance, especially ending a few lines with that breathy voice gave it an emotional appeal._

[@sprinkletrackskopa3646]

It’s nice to hear it in different ranges.

[@ferrisulf]

Perfection. I'd never heard this song before. The lyrics are gorgeous and your tone matches it perfectly. I'll be buying when it becomes available!

[@rayengle5241]

So wonderful as usual, can't believe I started folllowing you back in the Skyrim days :) such great talent.

[@SierusD]

Goosebumps in the first 2 seconds. Beautiful cover.

[@mr.stealyourjams]

Your covers are always magical and one of the things that never disappoint in life. ❤️

[@King_Midas]

Nobuo Uematsu is my favorite video game composer. Beautiful song and you did it justice.

[@Vengerin]

I follow you since the first Skyrim covers, damn KZbin didn't noticed me about the cover. FFXIV is currently my favorite videogame and after the Endwalker expansion, this song hits like a freaking truck. Thank you so much for the cover, it's just perfect!

[@MegKaylee]

Can’t tell you how stoked I was to see that you did an FFXIV cover!! This is truly beautiful.

I've been a subscriber for so long, and I never thought I'd hear FFXIV music from you. The title and the song is so important to me and so many, and I can't tell you how happy it is to hear it with your voice. thank you so much for this emotional piece.
