Time to revisit a defining moment in my channel's history.
A couple of years ago I made a cover of this track in a way that I hadn't really seen anyone else attempt - it was an arrangement idea that had been rolling around in my head for a long time, even before thinking about KZbin.
I did the best I could with the production knowledge I had attained at the time and am still proud of the original video - but now that I've gotten a bit better with production, I feel comfortable with re-recording and re-releasing this cover.
This was the first cover I had released where I took more than a few steps away from the feeling of the original - it's because I like this track way too damned much and wanted to make it my own.
Some folks likely will not be a fan of the heavier approach to this one in comparison with the ballad style arrangement of the original - but this is the way I personally like to think about the track. I want it to be heavy and hard hitting and emotional and uncanny and still strike that particular nostalgia of arriving in Zeal and hearing this music for the first time.
why is this piece so good

Dude this is HEAVY

[@RichaadEB]

thankee sai!!

[@Gahuboy]

Both of you guys made amazing covers of my favourite video game music of all time. Brings back memories every single time, thanks guys

[@ZealKingdom]

RichaadEB If the Smooth one approves, you know you nailed it. Great work.

[@ArgusJord]

tortuga388 I read that as "If the Smooth approves," which gave me one hearty laugh.

[@ThunderDragonRandy]

Collab plz! :3

[@RPGMaker2003]

I just came from a comment of yours on a Smooth McGroove video, I said "Hey, this guy's verified, I'm gonna check his channel" >Finds a metal cover of my favorite song of Chrono Trigger >16 minutes ago You won a subscriber

[@RichaadEB]

hey hi hello there - enjoy your stay~!

[@Yoop74]

"My favorite song of Chrono Trigger" I mean, it's easily one of the best song ever IMO. Corridors of Time is so good.

[@DYLZAL]

[@insaneintherainmusic]

[@RoPanuganti]

Oh you know how long I've been waiting to hear this, I think your original was the cover that whooped half the community to getguder.

[@RichaadEB]

I still think the comment you left on that video is the nicest youtube comment ive recieved

[@RoPanuganti]

As cringy as jeebus that was, it holds up and another 50 kids are gonna get into prog VG

[@olenhol2przez4]

RichaadEB I love chrono trigger and heavy music this here is doublelove idk how to call it both vids are great

[@ApexGale]

Why is this piece so good? Because it was designed to go down in time. Heh.

[@soledezruiz2860]

oh yeah!

[@blakeirvin3011]

Zenith Tempest I see what you did there ;)

[@ToxicxEternity]

This reminds me of first discovering your channel D; So good dude!

[@RichaadEB]

[@Limerence1597]

Man, this cover always hits different since 2017 and i believe this feeling will never change.

[@LionmightOfficial]

I always admire your mixing. Your individual guitar patches are not too heavy on it's own, but you're still able to make the whole mix both mellow and heavy at the same time. Great job dude!

[@MalleusSemperVictor]

There was once a time I thought there might have been too many covers of this song. I've never been so wrong.

[@amphobius]

THIS IS REALLY GOOD, RICH AND THE CAMERAWORK AND SELECTION OF SHOTS ARE REALLY GOOD TOO AAAAA

[@notrachelable]

[@Sprouteeh]

I fucking love your take on this track

[@RaionBot]

So many covers fail to grasp the essence of the original, but you nailed it with this one and intensified it ten fold. Great improvement of your first attempt.

[@jackwitty255]

Happy 5 Year Anniversary to the best metal cover of a video game track in existence

[@HiddenGemsReviews]

It can be hard to go back and rework a cover you already did. But this? This is God-Tier work as always. Absolutely incredible cover and equally bad ass cinematography. Never stop doing you, Rich.

[@marc-andresamson6191]

Thrice lyrics in the description, plus Corridors of Time that fuckin' shreds. You - I like you.

[@yukicreber2758]

I couldn't even imagine what this would sound like as a metal cover but now that I can hear it, I'm so glad you decided to make this! This ROCKED!

[@Gwunhar]

Ordinarily I would not endorse changing anything about this tune, as it is already perfect, but man...incredible work. You managed to add heaviness without losing any of that painful beauty of the original.

[@Chalmsloff]

Your original cover was already really good, yet you still improved upon it? Wow man, I didn't think that was possible o_O This is almost TOO good.

[@deucexm]

Brutally delicious. The original was actually one of my favorite tunes of yours (or anyone's), despite the production issues, and you went and cleaned it up /and made it even better/. And the cinematography (I guess that applies?) brings it all together in an awesome way. I love your stuff. Rock on.

[@CyriltheWolfmusic]

I'll admit, I had my doubts when you claimed to have stepped away from the original style... but this is still tasteful and triggers the right nostalgia points in my brain so. thanks for the memories man haha

[@imaginaryboy2000]

Cyril the Wolf heh, Triggers.

[@soldnich783]

Omg Rich AMAZING! Your original cover of this was my all time favorite by you and you just made it 1000000 times better thank you so much!

[@TheToastyNinja]

Oh, Richaad, each of your covers are like serenades, and I'm falling more and more in love. Don't stop. Ever.

[@rodrigoabnner]

always good to see you arranging chrono trigger

[@Pillarofcreation1]

Wow this cover was incredible. By far the coolest rendition I've ever heard of this song.

[@ZekariusZetorian]

Thanks, Rich! My favorite song from my (still) favorite game. You freaking nailed this one. Then again, you nail them all. Great cover!

[@ehingerutman412]

All the Chrono Trigger Metal Covers it's the Perfect tribute for Akira Toriyama!!

[@moonrazk]

It's great to see that you just keep getting better and better, this one is awesome both musically and visually.

[@EffervescentPhantasm]

I too remember that first time I arrived in Zeal and heard Corridors of Time. It quickly became and has remained one of my favorite themes of all time. When I saw this video, I knew I had to watch it and listen to it. I came into it with very high hopes and really high standards because I love the original so much, and I think you'll be pleased to hear that I thoroughly enjoyed this cover. That probably sounds a bit pretentious of me, a random listener on youtube, but simply saying, "that was an amazing cover" wouldn't cut it. I figured as someone who also loves the original track so much that you deserved nothing less than an honest appraisal of your cover. In my opinion, you accomplished what you set out to do and then some. Not only did you make this song your own, It was very much emotional, very much a hard hitting piece, and yet it stayed close enough to the original to still be identifiable and carry the nostalgic weight of the original. Once again, you've done another amazing cover, as I've come to expect from you.

[@Minamitoku]

Absolutely amazing cover!!!!! Love it!!!

[@EikoandMog]

This isn't what I expected next out of you and I love it so, so much.

[@pauldehayes1898]

Didn't think you could put such a chill track to metal and it still be chill and heavy AF. This used to be my go-to on loop if I needed to take a time-out from the game or just in general. Bravo good sir, completely epic!

[@evynadams5296]

I love that your renewing covers of old songs is so good

[@IAmBitfrost]

AHHHHHH YOU REVISITED MY FAVORITE COVER!!!!! SO FREAKING GOOOD!!!

[@christian_daigle]

Seriously, dude... this is beyond awesome. This is pure genius! Nice job!

[@demostraativo]

I loved the previous cover of corridors of time that you did a while ago, but this, this is pure GOLD

[@kaorus.7219]

めちゃくちゃ感動しました！！ I was very moved.

[@zachmusic4511]

my favorite you've done so far! that chorus is powerful.

[@lordgogo2686]

Man, I can thank you enough for this! Just perfect!

[@AmandaLabovitz]

this is amazingly done. love it, great job Rich.

[@cavan620]

This gives me goosebumps. Seriously awesome

[@nubchaos]

that build-up to the solo at 1:50 (and the solo itself) is just plain eargasmic

[@noppythenoponmerchant]

I was blown away in ten seconds. Freaking phenomenal work

[@doodledibob]

This is such a fantastic cover - the deep djent notes, the relentless rhythm, the beautiful flow of the melody - truly great!

[@Jonseredi]

Undertale must have been like winning lottery for you man since you seem to be doing so well nowadays! Keep the awesome stuff up!

[@JungleScene]

Your first cover of this is what made me start following you... the original is definitely a top 3 fave of mine in all of VGM and love that cover you did. I gotta say I like how youve improved it. You seemed to build a lot on the strengths of the track and really cleaned it up where the mastering was iffy. This is a fun way to demonstrate how far along youve come in the last 3 years too. rock n roll man

[@samuslightsuit]

The most iconic game for my first console. Dude you rock. Thanks for helping me re-discover my favorite SNES game.

[@Angelic2142]

This is so fucking good, fantastic job rich. This is your best yet!

[@HyperactiveFish]

Rich, this originality (along with your amazing skill) is what truly separates you from the rest. You did an awesome job with this song!

[@Nova-xs2wt]

Awesome rework ! There's an incredible jump on image quality, great job !

[@SignasLupus]

This is my favorite game song ever and you made it more special. Thanks!

[@KaoswareMetal]

This is amazing!!! I discovered your channel with the version you did 2 years ago, as many others here I'm sure. This re-recorded version is bringing many good memories back, from the game itself but also from discovering the whole VGM cover scene on youtube. Cheers for that!

[@Malficious]

This is my absolute favorite track from Chrono Trigger and you did it Justice. Excellent work man. Keep it up!

[@TheHockeyGamer]

I love everything about this. Thank you.

[@FelipeMS90]

[@PaleoSteno]

One of my favorite themes from Chrono Trigger, yes!

[@medleysa]

When that first chorus hits with the 32nd note kick drum and the high wail on the lead.... bliss

[@LadyGameLyric]

I could watch this all day. Just found your channel and I'm very glad I did.

[@michellepurdy4545]

Chrono Trigger is my all time favorite turn based Rpg, and you have absolutely smashed this cover. One of the best covers of this song I have ever heard

Corridors of Time, Schala's Theme, Undersea Palace, Black Omen... Zeal really has the best music in the game.

I remember your original song, and thinking the same thing..I wished the lead had been a bit louder. It was still incredibly impressive! This is amazing too...so neat to see you grow into an awesome musician!
