This isn't mine.
---------
Lyric:
When, from the dark,
Forms fall apart,
Leading my feet to the sea,
Whispers a tide
In my mind:
"Follow the call of the deep."
[Chorus]
The kindred night,
The kindred night
Holds me here,
Holds me close,
And I live for the sight.
Eyes in the grass
Blink as I pass,
Shimmering, gleaming at me.
And with a breath,
Spirit-possessed,
I will surrender my plea.
[Chorus]
The kindred night,
The kindred night
Holds me here,
Holds me close,
And I live for the sight.

Several people don't like the lyrics but I think it only adds more. I think it shows what Samus feels inside. She's alone, wandering through endless caverns and ruins by herself. She prefers it that way and yet she still hates it. She will go to sleep every night knowing there is nobody else in her bed to wake up to. That is the burden of the life she lives. Getting close means getting attached and that makes the threat of losing them all too real.

[@kayskreed]

PTSD, abandonment issues, fear of commitment, anger, guilt, a desire for revenge, overcoming her demons and fears by facing them, struggling against her own darkness in the process, her sense of duty, trying to prevent anyone else from experiencing what she's been through, her need for personal redemption, etc. She doesn't back down, for it's almost as if she herself believes she has nothing left to lose. Psychologically, Samus is potentially the most complex character Nintendo has ever created, which has yet to be properly explored. I consider her one of my favourites for this reason.

[@shioriryukaze]

Blacksun388 Wow. Just....amazing.

[@chris_wizzudz]

@Blacksun388 @kayskreed Wow this is deep.

[@Thronsohn]

Cringy af

[@novustalks7525]

Yvan martinez what are you on about?

[@samusaran5261]

well,that sure as hell wasn't me singing that...

[@giygas_9577]

Samus Aran: Bounty hunter, space warrior, galactic savior Can't carry a tune to save herself

[@ayar2]

thats why I consider super metroid to be the appex of the series, it has a majestic ambience of solitude and danger, and a protagonist that doesnt say much but still we understand her mood during the journey.

[@HeroOfTime1]

GIPSY Metroid Prime (the first one anyways) is also like that. Complete solitude. You discover what happened to Talon IV through the carvings from the Chozo. Plus the soundtrack is amazing, particularly the Talon IV Overworld theme as well as the Artifact Temple theme.

[@Nintendoholic07]

Samus - Proud, gorgeous, and totally bad ass This song reflects that perfectly...

[@GuiFoxJus]

This is incredibly good! One of the best musics i've heard, seriously.

[@mtdewramen]

Guilherme de Souza Pimentel Look into KZbin music keys, can offline stuff.

[@ClementineTavener]

Can't... stop... listening... singing along... I feel like I'm controlled when I listen to this song... O.O"

[@MrSelkies]

This is so fucking good. Reminds me a lot of Transistor, which had incredible music.

[@GuilhermeZoy]

Man. I love the vocals on this music. Nice work for the compositors, well, mixers. Metroid OST is awesome!

[@FireBomberBassist]

Practically perfection. I am sad I hadn't found this sooner.

[@Bragatyr]

Such a beautiful song. I could definitely see it in a Metroid film soundtrack somewhere down the line.

[@Thegamingground]

This Is one of the best songs I EVER heard In my whole life. Big cred to the makers and the singer! the song should really be an intro (or outro/ending song) for an Metroid movie imo =)

[@digimon916]

metroid is very weird but beautiful imo. its sci-fi but sometimes it drowns my mind in fantasy. the music and artwork is just awesome....

[@GIANTPANCAKES]

This really brings the feels, I really enjoyed that chorus though. Thanks for the awesome upload.

[@Hyperperion]

Amazing... The vocal part is befitting & music reminds the remixed core melody just as it should

[@FireBomberBassist]

Damn. Fucking nailed it.

[@Jkid101090]

I heard this song on another video and almost fell off my bed when I saw it came from Metriod. This is awesome!

[@novustalks7525]

Everything about this is perfect

[@RawHunterX]

The voice add it's just so...EPIC!

[@lighttenebris]

Absolutely wonderful !

[@Dyceron]

Best Maridia remix period.

[@professorpepega]

See, no one dislikes this video. The proof that Super Metroid is Awesome!

[@fossilfern]

i dunno about MetroidTamer but i love this it feels like im playing on Maridia for first time like i did about 15 years ago on super metroid :)

[@godofmajora]

.......... out of every thing i have heard as a remix this is so good for metroid prime....... 5990749062907439064238689438905894039562634089568943089564238958903148968923068906895263489564897567423895607436574218576812394689235689415697842365794236590436589246589412387543876423/5 better than any thin i have heard

[@km_studios]

Great find! Very nice mix!

[@Koroigetsuga87]

holy mother of god this is good rated OVER 9000/10

[@KobaltBlue]

God, this is awesome. If/when (hopefully when) there's a Metroid movie made, this better be in there. Would make an incredible introduction.

[@traenq]

one of the best video game music remixes I've ever heard... and I've heard MANY. zircon has done some excellent stuff .)

[@Natsumushi1]

I absolutely love this song! wish there was more like it!

[@Togusa]

It has that ominous and powerful beat to it. Amazing remix.

[@samusaran5847]

*Pats back* You okay?

[@Tommy090888]

You...just....deserved so much better...

[@caleron0]

gooooosebumps

[@MagneticToast]

excellent

[@gregdeaner6004]

Ugh, there's just something about Maridia that makes me feels so isolated and cold.

[@DaMoniable]

It really is one of the better tracks in SM. Ironically many water level songs usually hit way up there on the epic scale. (eyeing donkey kong country)

[@Mrster]

I honestly think this might be in the top 3 remixes I've ever heard.

[@Twilight_Researcher]

I'll just say this. This is by far the best Maridia remix I've ever heard. Excellent work, I still enjoy hearing this even after downloading the entire album this is off of. My best regards to bLiNd, for whom this song was dedicated to, if I remember correctly.

[@HiveFleetHydra]

The lovely lady who provided the vocals for this song needs to get out there and become famous. She's got a better voice than half of the famous singers out there.

[@Metroid4ever]

This is so far my favorite remix for Super Metroid. Must continue finding more. =D

[@TheKuWonable]

Fucking masterpiece, it's almost a crime songs like these are released for free!

[@EvilEtna]

Awesome, just awesome ~ So dark and still beautifull

[@moldyskittle]

I am at a loss for words.

[@JK_341]

NICE! Use of the Maridia zone's music, and epically remixed!

[@Kronosphere100]

It's alright man. I'm more suprised you got all of that out BEFORE you threw up. You're alright, let's just... forget this was even here.

[@blacksun3884]

Honestly after (forcing myself) replaying through Other M I noticed something. Many people dislike that Samus freaks out at Ridley because she fought him before with seemingly no difficulties. However think about this. She witnessed Ridley kill her parents. She witnessed Ridley killing colonists during her time in the federation army and broke down. She (thought she) witnessed Ridley killing Anthony. She isn't afraid of Ridley himself. She is afraid of Ridley killing people she cares about. That's why she broke down. She thought Ridley killed Anthony and it brought her back to the other memories of Ridley killing other people.

[@FrightMorph]

YES! AT LAST SOMEONE GIVES A GOOD REASON!

[@xedrickOG]

i saved that comment so i can use it against the idiots that wanna cry sexism. Thank you for making this comment

[@ZefulStarson]

I wouldn't be so quick xaneks578, Blacksun does have a good point, but Samus' breakdown against Ridley isn't how the game is decried for "being sexist," it's for how Samus doesn't really have any agency in the game, and how the game presents the relationship between herself and Adam.

[@xedrickOG]

Zeful I dont see how its "sexist" in any way. Its just poorly written

[@shockwave317228]

Problem is in the way she reacted. The PTSD was played off in a far different light then any metroid franchise, both games and manga, showed. Her PTSD in the manga only happened on their first encounter which is before the events of metroid, and when Ridley talked about how he ate her mother to survive. The PTSD shown wasn't a, pardon my french, whining bitch. Her ptsd was mostly paralyzed and silent hyperventilated and tears. She said a few things ofcourse, but it wasn't as nearly as dramatic as how Other M put it. Not to mention in any other game of metroid Samus never spoke, her emotion was ambiguous and silent, which allowed the player to connect more with Samus. This was also long after at least two battles with ridley, and its been stated and implied that she had gotten over the PTSD before other M even was a thing. While I can imagine that ridley killing anthony would be traumatizng and bring back memories of the parents, the PTSD in other M happened before even Anthony came into the room let alone if Samus was even aware of his presence. The biggest issue with Samus is that not only did they give her a voice, but her character is very un-relatable to most. It is no longer the immersive adventure played by the mysterious bounty hunter. Instead of unlocking power ups, you are ordered to use them, which completely kills another staple in the metroid formula. Not to mention she can't even activate her varia suit if she is dying in acid. If other m was say a movie, or manga or some other form of media, i could tolerate it. But as a game with such a mediocre at best story, that is forced down your throat, it pretty much spoils in your mouth, even if the game play is decent. I've noticed that most people who defend Other M haven't really grown up playing other metroid games like super, zero, or prime; which makes sense as they can't see the downgrade the game is from the rest of the serious. However I will never understand the opinion of those that defend Other M that have played other metroid games before/after playing Other M.

[@Verrie77]

just wow :D

[@superblooper123]

im speechless

[@Antoine.Collet]

It's been 5 fuckin' hours that I've listened to this and.. I can't stop listen it. That's an epic MASTERPIECE. (Sorry for my bad english I'm French ^^')

[@ratlover523]

This should go into a Metroid game or movie(if they ever manage to make one...)!

[@SoroTrestal]

Amazing O__O

[@Balasteer]

oh how we all love the Kin Draenei.

[@Khyrid]

There should be a war between all the people who acknowledge that Super Metroid was the best game ever made and those who don't, so we can be rid of those who don't give SM the respect it deserves once and for all.

[@giygas_9577]

I really want to play Metroid Dread but be listening to this while I'm in Burenia. Edit: I did it, and it was AWESOME.

[@radxl711_ruffiesstreams8]

Cool

[@1upD]

Lyrics? In a Super Metroid track? ... Win.

[@mtdewramen]

One of the perks of reselling games, get to clean and play... i mean test them out!

[@BouArmy]

Hate me all you want but I would love a music-only version of this

[@FrightMorph]

Not too sure I blame you, actually.

[@Discreetarcher3]

wow. her voice is amazing!

[@keoni29]

Allright. This is what I expect from the wiiU metroid game(s). I won't take less.

[@bryankirkpatrick1783]

Man I haven't heard this in years. Originally heard it on new grounds

[@stephanzievinger2491]

The music it's really relaxing 👍🙄😴

[@LookeyPL]

This song is f*cking amazing. I love it, it would be awesome to hear it when credits roll in one of Metroid games. :)

[@liuliukang]

This song, With Rainy Mood , Sound Better :D!!!

[@ThatHollowGuy]

@NinjaCarthageSlingin So true, couldn't of said it better my self

[@0m3g45n1p3r4lph4]

am I the only one that gets a Raze 2 vibe? like really me likey

[@mzh3000]

Who else did meridia without the grav suit the first time they played the game. I was completly lost.

[@Caqui]

You should definitely post a link to your artwork, I think it's pretty cool!

[@andydennys_]

yea its the maridia theme

[@3_1_3rd_gaming]

L O fuckin L, well said

[@Antoine.Collet]

It's sounds like X-Fusion at the beginning of this track. I love it *_*

[@20yoshis]

Listen 2 this song with Ur eyes close. If feels like this song sucked u into the game & fighting Ur way though Super Metroid til the end of the game with the scene with tht Metroid sacrificed his life 2 save Urs :3

[@KitaxNekoSama57]

Sounds like the singer of "Calling to the Night" from MGS

[@shadowmagexl]

Remix of Super Metroid. I think the two to be complete different categories. Anyway Zircon is awesome, check out all his music.

[@dnleo]

Christopher Nolan must make a Metroid Movie!!!

[@ratlover523]

@Kingshadowclock YES, it was a bit of a letdown. No 'you have to figure it aaaaalll out for yourself' in the game. Although I like how you get to get inside Samus' head a bit. That was about it though, there was too much direction throughout it for my taste. I like being stuck due to my own stupidity, not due to the boss being too large to kick around. (I.E. the "deleter"s first apearance in that thing that tries to run you over) I NEED THE SCREW ATTACK! :D

[@shadowdragonx07]

tell mehs ish there a soundtrack of this and the others cuz iv gots to get my claws on it

[@owlmage]

Ok, which Toreador got on the metroid design team? Bad poser, bad!

[@psyco96]

i have fucking chills listening to this........ i will always keep my original Super Metroid snes game.. u wont ever take it away from me ill always keep it even if i have to commit murder....

[@MrNutter]

That movie your talking about is called Metroid: Other M.

[@Spartarner117]

@googletoper I think it "was" planned but im not sure. It was maybe shtu down like the Halo movie.

[@orinocointf2]

@PixelJustice20XX if we all put in some money, we could buy the metroid copyrights to prevent such a travesty ever occurring.

[@Grivius1014]

I imagine just the swamp of maridia, its kinda misticall *_*

[@MikeSikalCreative]

Music video anyone? Or a movie would be good. To bad it never got to happen :'(

[@Thecoolguy01]

the MORTAL KOOOOOOOOOOOMBAAAAAT movie was good

[@gavin4981]

Plausibility of a. Relationship by the ARTOFWAR

[@Rooftopaccessorizer]

@shadowdragonx07 or you could just go to OCremix.org and surf through the metroid remixes . either way.

[@Caqui]

Awesome music. Question: where is the image from?

[@1KonArtis]

[@peachgirl1366]

OMG, the lyrics are perfectly perfect and totally sweet! If it's okay with you, I'd like to use this song in the future for an episode of my anime series, Nintendo Girls. In the aforementioned episode, Samus sings this song, and it's the very first song that she ever sings, as well as her first solo. I hope that you let me use it. Thank you. 👸💗💟🌹💐🌸🎀🐱🦄🍰

[@ratlover523]

@Kingshadowclock Yeah, I agree, Metroid is so touchy. Its easy to mess it up. I mean, look at Other M! Half the fans love it, the other half hate it!

[@HiveFleetHydra]

@Khyrid Except that'd be maybe half a million people at best against the other 7 billion, and those 7 billion will have most of the guns, armor, and vehicles. Not very good odds. Plus, there are those of us who just like Prime.

[@Mrster]

@tinytiger46 Well, more like, you know, Maridia from Super Metroid. :) But it could suit, yeah.

[@Landofahero]

Samus, what nintendo made to you...

[@1994BNC]

they should make a movie of this by one of the games no add they have othere movies like doom and othere movies from the games.

[@achillesbeast]

is there a version of this remix but without the vocals?

[@WoffoAndLammy]

it's comments like these that generate dislikes YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID...5 DISLIKES DAMN YOU ..STEVEN

[@Kingshadowclock]

@ratlover523 Agreed I'm one of the ones that LOVED IT at first and then in turn hated it...i waited and waited hopeing for this amazing game with CUTSCENES ZOMG for Metroid! Voice acting and so much more but that was it...no real adventure D: not like the primes anyways....*sigh* oh well X.D however, yah...lets hope there isn't another Other M or if there is...they get it right this time X.D and and have screw attack :p metroids number 1 signature move rofl. :D

[@curtv3]

love this, kind of like a Hans Zimmer twist to Metroid.

[@vic2_o]

I like the song but tbh it kinda creeps me out in some parts. Either way I still think its good.

[@FireBomberBassist]

+Vic 2_O That means the atmosphere is perfect! Super Metroid had that creepy feel to it in parts. :D

[@vic2_o]

***** that's true xD

[@Thegamingground]

+FireBomberBassist That´s the way it should be, since Super Metroid = TONS of atmosphere.

[@HiveFleetHydra]

Of course not, you and Femshep have the same voice. Jessica Martin? Who's that?

[@colonelsparklelord6645]

am I the only one who is getting a nighwish vibe?

[@ayar2]

+colonel sparklelord true

[@staticjungle]

go to hunterShadow's page... i reccomended He does really good metroid mash ups
