-------------------
The wait is finally over! After starting this arrangement back in April, and finally completing it around September or October, I can finally share it with y'all! It's the second longest single song cover I've done thus far, and I think I did a good job and making it sound cohesive while also keeping it interesting throughout. The first two minutes is more or less a guitar-centric version of the original with not many changes, but right after that I start experimenting with it a bit more, changing the song into a 5/4 version with an emphasis on the bass/drum groove. I got heavier of course later in the song and there's a little synth and guitar solo, and I play with the time signature quite a bit! Overall I had lots of fun playing with this song, and at the time that I finished mixing, I think it's easily the best mixing job I've done (not counting the ones I made after that are already released), thanks in no small part to the feedback I got while working on it and sending it to the Pixel Mixers people. Hope you enjoy, and please make sure to check out the whole album, there's many talented artists all over it and it's a cool varied listening journey!

THIS IS CRAZY

[@Consolous]

The melodies here are so good, it's like they tell a story, a tale of a hero

[@toadalrecall3610]

This is giving me intense Chris Christodoulou vibes it's so good. Love the transition into the more complicated time signature for the second movement. This might be your best one yet!

[@Hashel]

What a fantastic track, it 100% nails the vibe i like with prog-ish rock. One of my favourite on the album :)

[@AnimalisaKeys]

That was sick!!! Really took me on a prog octopath journey which is like, the best two things. Those vocals at the end were a nice way to chill and wrap up this epic thing

[@Duhemsounds]

You've made a super beautiful cover, well done

[@Ren-kr1tr]

[@TripleBMusic]
