Crystals (Kirby 64: Menu Theme)

[@drakontarachne3383]

Very pretty. Sorrowful yet with a note of hope for things to come and wonder for the mystery of the world. I imagine this playing during the opening sequence of a fantasy film in which a narrator explains the backstory.

[@XerxesTexasToast]

Thank you! It really does have a sense of beginnings, which is really appropriate for a remix of a song that plays over a file select menu.

[@vicious26]

You have a knack for writing.

[@crweewrc1388]

This sounds just like a lullaby you would sing in a cozy winter night.

[@XerxesTexasToast]

Mission accomplished

[@diseasedrat8813]

This helped with my panic attack thank you

A time you once thought would last forever.

Kirby 64 will be my memorable favourite game of all time because i seriously love him

[@aeroon9991]

I have no words... Only an unreplicable smile.

[@JavelinAngel1295]

I love this rendition.

[@iblitz95]

This is a lovely remix, that’s all fine and good, but I just saw the name _“XerxesTexasToast”_ and, well, how could I *not* watch this?

[@Kukui_balbec]

peace , kirby , crystals...

[@militaryreport4148]

beautiful remix. i love kirby, and i have been seeing you around youtube everywhere for the past few years.

[@XerxesTexasToast]

Thanks! Glad my constant presence everywhere is finally paying off for people.

[@Starlightglitter66]

This should be a Kirby movie credits theme.

[@Clownin-round]

This just hit me with such a harsh wave of nostalgia, i know it's been 4 years since this was made but thank you

[@B-Nintendogamer]

Somehow the most unsettling and peaceful song I have ever heard

[@alexveinti2]

This song is so wired, it mekes me feel wierd. I hadn't been born when Kirby 64 came out but I played it when I was a kid, so it feels wrong that it gives me so much nostalgia. It reminds me when my brother and I spent days solving those tricky puzzles, but never getting them all; the emptyness of the song makes me feel like if its moking me for never getting all the crystal shards, I did it some time ago yet that feeling of wondering if I'm missing a fraction of the game never left the song, its so sad. For me this song it's stuck in a time where it shouldn't be, so anoying, so frustrating, so calming and so beautiful. Thank you for reminding me of this very unique song, what you did is outstanding

[@morgandouglas6014]

When I first heard this song, I was reminded of the main menu music for Ocarina of Time.

[@XerxesTexasToast]

Well, it is menu music from an N64 game!

[@dang579]

someone mixed the two :)

[@ipwnatreach3207]

feels like a mix of majoras mask and kingdom hearts. great work!

[@tsu88baki]

Sin duda alguna, esto es hermoso y relajante

[@Holylibelle]

Gosh, I love this

Thank you!

[@Meladrenaline]

This sounds gorgeous.

[@Blues2Dark]

Reminds me of Milky Way Wishes...title theme.

[@XerxesTexasToast]

The old Kirby title and menu themes did all have a similar feel, didn't they?

[@Blues2Dark]

@@XerxesTexasToast Indeed, I like how you did this one, such a calm and lilting sense of serenity, behind this marvelous masterpiece.

[@gameplanetanimations]

Which of the remixes are you more proud of? The 8 melodies one, or this one?

[@XerxesTexasToast]

This is a tough question! I'm very happy with the outcome of both, and I'd say the end products are on a similar level of quality, with Crystals coming out on top by a narrow margin. However, this mix was quite easy for me to make, because I used a MIDI file. All I had to do was drag the tracks around, duplicate them, add more instruments, and so on, and because of that the arrangement is better because I could focus on it more. The Eight Melodies remix was made entirely from scratch, all of the melodies and harmonies were done from memory or original. Because I dragged out each note individually, the arrangement suffers a bit because I burned out sooner. I'd say I'm more proud of Eight Melodies' production process, while my pride for Crystals is in the final product.

[@gameplanetanimations]

Thanks! I know one thing for sure though, your remixes are better than mine. ;)

[@XerxesTexasToast]
