You have to love when a cover is faithful to the original while also bringing something new to the table. As opposed to a sound-alike sort of cover. This one must have taken a lot of preparation. And it's wonderful. Recognizable, respectful, and innovative.

Whenever covering something, I love those moments you get when you're breaking it down to play it and start uncovering all the little nuance. For instance, those arpeggios switch melodic contour every time, and still somehow David Wise manages to keep everything under the "lush arpeggios" umbrella, like different little waves of notes, and I think it's absolutely done with that intention, or the fact that actually this song is quite long, going through very different moments and not missing a beat keeping you on a journey, with seamless transitions, and of course, all the effects that could go into a snes chip. Its when it starts making sense why it's such an amazing song. And of course, this performance easily shows how in depth you went. Exquisite, as always!

This is one of my favorite pieces of music ever written. Not just video game music, but all music.

1:16 This is actually probably the most important part of the chord progression in this tune, and also the one that covers get wrong the most often, because they feel the itch to "correct" a note here. The bass note _needs_ to be D, even though the chord is, for all intents and purposes, "A# major". It is the slight conflict between the bass note of D and the A# chord that is responsible for the beauty at the end of the sequence, so it's pretty much a travesty when covers "fix" this by reconfiguring the bass note to A#.

I've been listening to this song on and off since I found it over a year ago, and it never fails to give me chills. Music that you can feel around you is like nothing else in this world. Absolutely adore your work, Emily.

If I could have that played live while I am playing the game, that would be great, but you would have to stop and start over each time I died, cause it was a long time ago, when I played that game. Very good presentation of the game music, I might add.
