Kiss from a Rose [NSF, VRC6 Cover]

[@Brillemeister]

I clicked with high expectations and they were exceeded

[@thibaultj444]

haha, me too !

[@ウジコ大好き人間]

woah, yeah.

[@IGN_OFFClAL]

I love when a song get's chip-tuned, and you can envision where it appears in a game. this sounds very "title screen."

[@chezcookies7580]

Ikr maybe a title screen on an epic rpg

[@srenhaandbk7904]

Or a cutscene?

[@jeffreyconnor9441]

Facts

[@MrMord3n]

It's 2020 and I wish I could give this two thumbs up. This cover is just crazy good. I can't imagine anyone arranging it more perfectly.

[@JXter_]

who needs drugs, violence, and money when we can all just sit back and enjoy this?

[@MadisonRootbeer69]

+Tom Who needs violence? .~.

[@RoddyDev]

who needs money, eh? if I run out of money and they block my connection, how am I going to listen to this?

[@kingpig.gamestudios]

Roddy true.

[@Kids_Scissors]

EXACTLY

[@quetzalcueyat]

I mean a joint with this would be square

[@axs203]

A really good example of someone who does great music with virtually nothing

[@mapley2167]

heh "virtually"

[@JessicaFEREM]

Tim follin did some "1-bit" music with the ZX spectrum.

[@Quills64]

thats a pretty huge diss to this technology its by no means basic

[@JessicaFEREM]

@@Quills64 comparatively yeah it's basic. It's smaller than an mp3 file The mp3 would always be larger and by the time it isn't it's unrecognizable.

[@chyldofthebeat]

The difference here is recorded vs generated music. An mp3 is a recording of music that has been rendered. This is the equivalent of a performance, a musician reading sheet music or playing the song from memory. The instructions for what to play have been entered into the tracker file. The tracker reads the file and performs the notes and commands for each instrument as it encounters them, stepping through. So the data files are super tiny because they're more like the equivalent of text. It's similar to a MIDI file and a MIDI player, only instead of triggering samples, as the midi player will do, this will for the most part trigger actions on synth oscillators etc. (and samples in the DCPM channel)

[@ashura129]

Sounds like a opening to a JRPG

[@thatoneguy9549]

Or a happy ending. Like, the credits.

[@fellzayel1305]

You have given me an idea, sir...

[@brokebackfountain]

*KISS FROM A ROSE* [PRESS START]

[@AsdfAsdf-mi6ks]

ashura129 I always did like the beginning of the song cause I was like “THIS IS SO EPIC. I FEEL LIKE IM ABOUT TO EMBARK ON AN OCEANIC ADVENTURE

[@saintsea-hat7891]

Batman RPG...

[@Graedius]

I have been all over the place, and listened to countless thousands of hours of chiptune music; yours is still by far my favorite, through and through. I've got a big folder of virtually everything you've composed on all of my devices, and it probably gets more playtime than anything else. I'm not musically qualified to even adequately explain what I think it is that you do better than everyone else -- but it's often so relaxing and lovely~ I will never get enough, and always look forward to your submissions and albums~!

[@flygonbreloom]

Heck, we really have been all over the place.

[@bingkean]

I used to want to be a filmmaker, and I ended up just falling into the cracks of the corporate society. Eventually, I became a computer programmer. I think I would like to go to England make a short (or long if it was cool too) documentary on Fearofdark. So many of your awesome songs have spoken to me, and they keep calling me back over the years.

[@Esperantanaso]

Listening to your music is like eating red velvet cake while relaxing in a cloud in the sky.

[@medio-litro]

Oh hey I played your sand game.

[@artstatedigital]

A beautiful arrangement, full of aural emotion, that only chip can convey.

[@michaelbagley6240]

Well it’s 2022 and this sounds amazing!!

[@mosko1988]

ive been listening to this on the regular since you first posted it on soundcloud a lot of years ago, and it still blows me away... greatest chiptune cover ever, and much as i love the original, i way prefer your version, its as if seal wrote this tune for you to cover it.

[@dantescanline]

I clicked thinking "I dont really like the original song, wonder how this will be" but it works so excellently as an uber sweet chiptune track. Great job!

[@SonariNeiracchen]

mick maus That may explain why some songs sound better when hummed.

[@xboyindahouse]

Seal is jamming to this cover on his car right now.

[@cosmicjesterdx711]

I'm actually crying. This is honest to God BEAUTIFUL.

[@flewkey]

This is the track that made me learn what chiptune was and that I loved it.

[@ZdrytchX]

This actually became one of my favourite chiptune adaptions and never heard of the original until a few months later when I felt like searching it up. Just now I was going to do a voice cover over it (the main voice channel is the 1st square line which can be disabled easily in fami/NSFPlay) but then I realised that it played a bit faster than the original

[@ExperimentIV]

shit i should do a voice cover of this

[@SpiralPegasus]

This right here is _incredibly_ beautiful. Thank you so much for making it!!

[@bazzle9916]

my girlfriend loves singing this song over and over and the daily torture i go through is unbearable and now hearing it in 8bit midi-like form makes it slightly more bearable, thank you.

[@jakobwebb9854]

Kiss from a rose is one of my favorite songs ever so that combined with my love for chip tune and electronic music as a whole was a spectacle🤩

[@DilbertDoubloon]

Seal sends you and your childhood friends on a quest to save the kingdom from an ancient evil.

[@glorytovictoria]

2022 here. Still awesome, my friend.

[@ninevoltair2285]

NEVER KNEW I NEEDED THIS IN MY LIFE. HOLY SHIT, THANK YOU.

[@sashalee07]

This is amazing! Kiss from a Rose is my favorite song!

You, sir, are a wizard.

[@banditheeler8246]

Heard this on Krelez's chiptune mix and I thought this was a legit videogame OST ,until I found it it was a song written by Seal for a batman movie. Twist after twist!

[@sideswipebl]

I almost fucking cried at 0:23. Never heard anything hit harder than that. EDIT: Currently shitting my pants ama

[@louis67gg]

[@RyanBarrett80]

Why wasn't this in the Batman game by Sunsoft!?

[@ahmeddemha6112]

Time paradox much?

[@NumaanTahir]

Ryan Barrett batman forvever was never released on nes

[@kingpig.gamestudios]

He is talking about the batman movie of tim burton.

[@HipsterBlackMetalOfficial]

Batman Forever (1995) way before 1989 Batman... However this would have been an epic chiptune on gameboy batman forever.

[@blahuhm6782]

Could be a cool midnight batmobile cruisin through neon Gotham city music

[@Trid3nt861]

Really cool rendition.

[@djsmoove6274]

at the end of the Batman Forever video game they should have play this song 8 bit style.

[@cadetpixel]

This sounds like a chill underwater level.

[@alberthenderdon3639]

2021 and still listening

[@m3tr0idgrl]

i can still visualize the batman music video that went with this XD

[@dscompose3004]

I'm so happy I found this

[@thegallivantinggamers4904]

I can’t get Niel Cicerciega’s “Shit” out of my head

[@jkopppo223]

I looked up Kiss From a Rose Chiptune just because I was curious and oh.. its from FearofDark, one of the artists on the WeeklyTreats... I listened to Drowning in Sleep so much for about year

[@Horrorfreak106]

Sounds like something that can be in a JRPG game

[@15MinuteUpload]

THIS IS SO GOOD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@MoctorDac]

I've listened to this so many times on soundcloud, hella awesome!

[@DaveVoyles]

Love FOD's jams

sounds like something that would play on the title screen of a really good JRPG

[@Bp1033]

Oh, thats some good stuff.

[@gelwin6382]

Goosebumps

[@cornchipz]

This is a pretty amazing cover. Love it!

[@mundolukas]

I haven’t watched Batman Forever nor I knew about this song until now. Why is it making me so nostalgic?

[@thealiendrew]

Sounds like something that should have been at the end of a SNES Batman game based on the Batman Forever movie

Awesome work! I listened to it at the normal speed (speed of the original track), but then listened to it at 1.5x, and it was so cool! You should listen to it sped up.

[@TismoProductions]

I somehow did not realize this was a cover of an actual song. I thought it was just like an rpg village type theme.

[@kiramaxwell8976]

you inspire me to make c64 music

feels like game over screen music :^)

Dang it now I want a Batman Forever JRPG

[@juanwhitfield7626]

If Batman Forever had been released in the Atari era, this might've been a part of the ending credits for the tie-in video game. 👍
