One of my biggest complaints about covers of this song are when people go too hard or too soft and lose the atmospheric vibe that David Wise first created. But you nailed it! The progressive dynamic is so powerful! It sounds so good, without foresaking the somberness of the original! It feels like nearing the conclusion of an epic adventure!

Hard agree. I listened to other covers after listening to this one and they genuinely made me cringe. This particular cover has been on loop for like two days now. 😂

This theme has something special; I remember listening to it a lot many years ago, and letting my thoughts wander... Right in the feels!
@ChaoticMeatballTV2 жыл бұрын
I remember you mentioning for a while you wanted to get to this song, and holy moly you blew it out of the park as usual! The buildup of the softness for the first minute, going into the centered lead guitar, finally culminating around 1:09 is so satisfying.

This is so damn glorious, the way it starts so calmy how it slowly turns into a metal explosion without losing it's original vibe, best of both worlds, truly amazing. Also I love what you did with the "guitar solo".

I wondered, “How the heck is he gonna make this one metal?!” And I guess I just learned to never question how good a job you can freaking do. It’s a perfect balance of the gentle nature of the original track and the intensity of metal. Also even if the original track is relaxing, these stages (and that segment in Animal Antics) always give me anxiety even after seemingly endless playthroughs, so it fits!
