Chrono Cross // Dream of the Shore Bordering Another World // Harp Cover

[@wayn3w]

Would you care to tell us your process for coming up with your arrangements? I'm curious what it's like to arrange for a harp.

[@emilyharpist]

I actually made an in-depth post about my arranging process on my Patreon! I wasn't sure if the general public would be as interested in it, so I made it a Patreon perk, but I can always make a video for KZbin discussing my process! 🥰❤️ this song was especially interesting because I didn't really like the sheet music version that was available; I generally pull sheets from NinSheetMusic.org, but that particular arrangement didn't vibe with me as much. 2:00 onwards is all improvised! 😂

[@wayn3w]

@@emilyharpist Thank you, I know what I need to do then :-)

[@doscuramenos]

​​​​@@emilyharpist- hello. don't know if you're complaining about the music writings on the internet explaining (how to play) this song, or about the song quality in itself.. If the second, i totally disagree with you, 'cause my favourite song in all gaming.. But still good cover version by you, thanks for sharing.

[@Hell5426]

Потрясающая игра! Замечательное исполнение! Браво!👏

[@erict2899]

I’m just rescued a kitten a few hours ago and she’s vibing to this. Great work, as always!

[@StrayMedicine]

Chrono Cross is an underrated masterpiece with an amazing soundtrack. Amazing cover btw, subbed. Love the idea of putting a harp through effects pedals, really sounds gorgeous.

[@emilyharpist]

thank you so much!! I really appreciate that! 🥰❤️

[@AustinPowerz-bn5ry]

There must be a compilation called Try Not to Cry Challenge with all of Emily's harp and delay pedal performances.

[@emilyharpist]

😢 ❤️ thank you so much!!! This made me smile :)

[@GGCrono]

This is low-key my favorite song on my favorite OST. Great work!

[@benjamin9901]

Love the Chrono Cross soundtrack. What a lovely rendition of this composition

[@emilyharpist]

thank you so much!! I can't to do more -- the soundtrack is GORGEOUS 🥰❤️

[@mpm1125]

My all time favorite video game. I will always love the music more than I can describe. Your rendition is beautiful!

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@jr2904]

Just started listening, but I'm so happy you did some Chrono Cross music! Thank you very much, it's beautiful!

[@emilyharpist]

thank you so much for listening!! so glad you enjoyed it! 🥰❤️

[@markgray2835]

Always nice to have a bit of nostalgia in the afternoon! Thanks for the relaxing music :)

[@emilyharpist]

hahah thank you so much, Mark!! nostalgia is my favorite thing 😂❤️ thank you for listening!! 🥰

[@Corvidae65]

Breathtakingly beautiful! I'd love to have this playing on an endless loop to help with my insomnia. I wasn't paying attention to the pedals used in this but whatever they were, they gave the perfect ethereal vibe to your playing. Thank you for this and Merry Christmas to you and The Mystical Board Hand.

[@MegaTomPlays]

Ah the best song from Chrono Cross, I've wanted a haunting melodic version of this for awhile now

[@patadamson4005]

That was mesmerizing. You really know your way around the stave don’t you. I really admire people like you who can improvise seamlessly. It shows thousands of hours of practice and a deep understanding of music theory. Thank you for sharing so much.

[@AmbroseChan]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 (standing ovation!!) Wow, this is stunning, Emily! I totally agree that these two pedals work so well together.

[@MrMegaManFan]

Oh… my… God… **faints**. I’m dead. KZbin has peaked. It will NEVER get better than this. ❤️❤️

[@emilyharpist]

THANK YOU!!! This really made me smile 😊

[@j.wilcox3547]

So calming and peaceful. Slowed my heart down faster than the heart medication I take. Thank you.

[@emilyharpist]

😊 this made me smile! Thank you ❤️

[@eddierayvanlynch6133]

@@emilyharpist Apparently, there's a cure for everything. And it involves Doomharp. 😉👍

[@eddierayvanlynch6133]

Glad you're feeling better, D. 😁

[@joanofheart]

Really beautiful arrangement, I love the way the Tararira creates almost like falling raindrops behind the notes and the dark star adding to the weight with the dark reverb.

[@neuchigen]

I was never really a fan of old RPG's like Final Fantasy and whatnot but Chrono Trigger was rad!

[@emilyharpist]

hahah SAME HERE!!! My nerdy ass only loved Final Fantasy Tactics 😂❤️

[@neuchigen]

@@emilyharpist I've never even heard of that but it sounds nerdy as heck! ;) All the heck! ;)

[@OdaKa]

@@emilyharpist Lol, same, except for me it was Shining Force, which uses the same chesslike battle system. Something about being able to move around the battlefield just made it more appealing than the traditional rpg battle system

[@ifuturelisttt]

Not gonna lie, your cover of this song is what pushed me to finally learn the harp. 🥺❤

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

This is beautiful, just utterly beautiful!

[@emilyharpist]

thank you so much ❤️🥺 I really wanted to do this piece the justice it deserved!! that left hand part was KILLER on my hand 😂

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

@@emilyharpist Not only did you knock it out of the ballpark, you sent it into orbit. You sure have killer left hand XD

[@bricelory9534]

Lovely work! I agree that the pedals fit this so well, adding a depth of character - and of course shimmer! - to make it a truly dreamlike and spacious arrangement. Lovely work!

[@nikob3277]

I instantly got covered in goosebumps.

[@Icebadger]

Phenomenal stuff! I love these longer blocks of playing!

[@Blutzen]

Chrono Cross definitely has my favorite sound track of any video game out there, the music in that game is just so beautiful, and you did an amazing job on this cover!

[@digiwaves]

Gorgeous! Like the stars twinkling from billions of light years away.

[@eddierayvanlynch6133]

Great image ⭐🌌✨

[@futureaugraphy]

Awesome, my fav video game soundtrack and my favorite pedal the dark star!

[@emilyharpist]

One of my favorite pedals too!! Thank you

[@thefinalpie]

This is great!! The music from that game is so memorable and you really encapsulated the spirit so well!

[@sammathis]

The Final Fantasy song a while back hit my Nostalgia, this absolutely crushed it. This was my favorite game growing up. Holy cow.

[@mpm1125]

Mine too, of all time.

[@emilyharpist]

Omg thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoyed 😊

[@JW-fq1ec]

Just got home from a crazy long day and found this video. My day just got SO much better because of you putting out videos like this.🥰👏

[@emilyharpist]

This made me so happy 😊

[@jasonbreen3238]

Your work in finding the right blend for your effects is always so impressive. This was great!

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks Jason!!!

[@TheEricsnet1]

What a great Birthday gift! Thanks Emily!

[@emilyharpist]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! ❤️ 🥳 🎂

[@turrlurr2043]

Another amazing cover from an amazing game. Somebody please hire Emily to make music for their game. We all need this :) Nice work as always.

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you 😊 ❤️

[@FiZ]

Oh my goodness, this is an absolutely beautiful cover 🤩 Your music is always a joy to listen to

[@KairuHakubi]

This is so fantastic.. the wateriness of it is super appreciated. I mean I've never heard a BAD cover of this, but this is so special and perfect.

[@khalylehagood3222]

I guess since we didn't get a remake announcement at the Game Awards, this will have to do.

[@emilyharpist]

Hahahaha I was hoping there would be one!! That’s part of the reason I made this!!! I’m sure it will happen soon :)

[@yahikouzumaki4955]

Oh... This amplified harp tune suits very well to this timeless music, one of my favorite of all time. Beautiful cover conveying perfectly the joyful sadness of Chrono Cross

[@bobfromjanitorial2]

Now I gotta check your whole channel for more chrono cross (radical dreamers, scars of time, the girl who stole the stars) because this soundtrack is amazing. Thanks for this.

[@nathankimble5193]

What a windy feeling sound from the mountains 😌 I'm at peace

[@thehurricane6767]

This sounds really pretty on the harp

[@andrewjeffries8721]

A lovely, well-timed tune. And the mix of dry/wet on the pedal accents your playing nicely, Emily. Brava.

[@brianweeks87]

This sounds like music for a science fiction movie set in deep space in a dystopian future. Nicely done!

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks so much, Brian!!!

[@joshc7419]

Went through the entire list of 64 songs on your mix hoping for THIS song. It was the last possible one that came up for me. So, so hppy you've covered it!

[@rango6267]

Never played the game but I used to learn radical dreamers on guitar this one is really nice to. You took me back in time thank you

[@emilyharpist]

thank you so much!! ❤️

[@douglasabp]

best YT recomendation I got in a lot of time, I love Chrono Cross and its soundtrack is amazing, and you made it even better!

[@kalmath_]

Absolutely loved the original, absolutely love your cover. It's amazing how you can manage to make your harp sound great with your effect pedals !

[@blackpanda7612]

Back here 2 years later and still sounds as dreamy and beautiful as the first time I heard it ❤❤🧡🧡💛💛💚💚💙💙💜💜🤎🤎🖤🖤

[@billbingham9412]

I've always loved the OST for this game, your version is very well done, and welcomely relaxing

[@bordenatorx]

Makes my heart melt! My favorite video game when i was young, after the Zelda phase went away. That brings me back, Thank You!!

[@ralfsintke1602]

Thanks for showing your talent. This is, at least to my ears, a way more calm and comforting Cover than seemingly screaming Violins Thanks.

[@theclovercross]

there's something with the music from chrono cross, a lot of it makes me just start to cry. I haven't even played the game! this was a beautiful take on it!

[@chrissmith6979]

One of the best overworld map songs. KILLED IT amazeballs

[@AlkinSlice]

I discovered your channel like two days ago randomly and looked up Dream Of A Shore Bordering Another World and this popped up XD im playing Chrono Cross and this song is so good and I love how it accentuates being in a new world

[@nomnomsammieboy]

beautiful!

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you!!

[@ObsidianContraption]

Lovely cover! I never got very far in the game, but i love chrono trigger

[@TziDavid]

Your music keeps me calm and focused while working. Thank you for sharing your gift with the harp with the rest of the world, ma'am.

[@LFOVCF]

This is achingly beautiful Em (can I call you Em😁) I had to walk it off! Your music plucks at heart strings as well as harp strings

[@audichunes]

I haven't really looped covers in a long time, until this.

Beautiful playing! And such tasteful delicious use of pedals in all your videos but especially this. Really glad to have found your channel.

Never played this one, but the song is gorgeous; been really going through it for the past day or so, but a good harp cover with nice delay/verbs helps.

[@peacockfilletsteak]

How did I miss this video! Serendipitous how a remaster would get announced just a few months later and now it appears on my feed because I guess it's trending now! My favorite PS1 RPG and one of my favorite soundtracks ever. It's beautiful on your harp!

[@edwinnaidu]

OMG EMILY! This is one of my favorite songs of all time! This was so beautiful, and really touched my heart in such a beautiful way. Were you a fan of Chrono Cross? Star stealing girl is one of my favorites from the OST. Thank you so much for this !💕

[@jseptoski]

This is great. Haunting and beautiful. I have to admit I'm not familiar with any of the covers that you do but that almost makes it better.

Thanks so much Aliman!!

[@mazen42007]

So beautiful 😢 such a nostalgic feel

[@Two-Eyed_Boy]

This took the original to a whole different level! The pedals really really add to the musicality too. Questions from my kids who watched with me: "What's her name? ... Why is that her name? Is this song happy or sad? How many strings does her instrument have? ... Why?"

[@MikeNevill3]

Can't wait for the remake. Wow .. I can't say wow enough . Wow .
