Smile - FFXIV Dawntrail (Slow Piano Version) feat. Chewie Melodies

[@KenshouHarpuia]

If this was the actual Smile we'd hear in the game, I would have loved the sh*t out of it. What an amazing rendition!! Kudos!! 💖

[@DocLegendary]

I really like your version. Just finished Dawntrail this evening and couldn't help but feel a different lead would make this shine. Thanks for making this!

[@ggFinch]

I love your version its sounded more fuller and well rounded. I can feel the correct message of the lyrics and the melody through your singing. Thank you for saving this song for me.

[@samnowaki5013]

I would listen to this on repeat on spotify its so good!

[@PeaLeaf]

@@samnowaki5013 Thank you so much!!! It actually is on Chewie Melodies’ spotify account along with his other dawntrail covers! open.spotify.com/track/4IMJvRkPuq8fsiIdrM2gVT

[@gamerpanda8932]

OMG your voice is so lovely and I love your version so much! It's so relaxing and soothing!!! Keep up the amazing work!!

[@zacharyheng9962]

I find this better than the original

[@mesabornapril9191]

Thx to your cover because I will loops this in spotify until for official album but You guys cover had beautiful voice and piano cover melody 🥲

[@jaketong6607]

I like your arrangement for this song to become more soft and beautiful! Feel relax and peace, especially listen the song at night!

[@fusrodahasian409]

I've been listening to your versions on Spotifiy! I appreciate this so much!!! Keep up the good work!

[@daistellae]

i can't stop listening to this

[@limika2483]

This is such fantastic cover I cannot even express it in words T.T

[@jazzychinchilla]

SO GOOD. ANOTHER BANGER FROM PEALEAF AND CHEWIE MELODIES this truly was our dawntrail (or something i've never gotten past ARR)

[@ChewieMelodies]

Beautifully sung

[@kagamine14]

The lyrics are so beautiful 😢 The fanfare of the original is so nice and hype like you’re in a parade, and your version is more intimate! Like if the game was a VN I’d see this as an ending theme when WoL gets to embrace their woobie

[@_em-grace_]

I always love your FFXIV renditions, but this may be my favorite!! Actually started tearing up a couple of times!

[@Convii]

This should have been the proper version we got. This is exactly the vibes this song should have given. I know the original gets a lot of hate due to its "disney vibes" and I slightly do agree, its wild how Akino sounds so whiny in the original when she sang brilliantly in "Scream". Amazing job this got me misty eyed whereas the original version did not.

[@fayte0618]

i have the feeling a slow/orchestral version will be given to us in the x.3 patch ending

[@briandavion]

the disney vibe is what they where going for

[@writershard5065]

I get what you mean, but also the absence of the chorus kills this one sadly. The lyrics of the chorus are golden, and got me misty eyed when listening to it. It's the supportive backup chorus that makes up half this song, and it doesn't work as well without it. But logistically, you can't really cover a song like that, so I still love that we are getting covers like this. It's incredible and I hope for more.

[@ProggerstheFrog]

I thought it was cartman at first.

[@melchizedekpsj]

So lovely! Thank you, Pealeaf and Chewie! 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️✨

[@DrakeWurrum]

....Beautiful.

[@StellariumSound]

Stunning. Very well done.

[@SpeedMechanic]

How does this only have 33k views? That's a crime.

[@vyper8984]

You totally owned this song, it’s one of my favourite songs from XIV 🤗

[@RedSoulVnT]

Beautiful! Amazingly beautiful. It made me tear up.

[@MrEchoco]

😮❤❤❤😮 Always love your guys new drops, keep it up 😊

[@mechachoi]

If pealeaf has a million fans, then I am one of them. If pealeaf has ten fans, then I am one of them. If pealeaf has only one fan then that is me. If pealeaf has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth.

[@AlienX-000]

Wow absolutely beautiful pea wonderful song amazing job

[@LeonAndrews2001]

what a beautiful rendition!

[@AlphaXXI]

Sound much more natural at this speed, really cool job

[@pain-ter4651]

man i thought i didnt like this song cause i kinda hate the singer in 14... but MAN im in love with this song now, you did such an amazing job with it ♥ i have to listen to this on repeat for a while lol

[@Ikuraga]

Yo, sounds like a Disney song. In a good way! Noice! 👏

[@NormanKauss]

Wow, what first 5 seconds. Instant hook and sub!

[@Smile576]

beautiful!!

[@Tenchi1016]

OMG !!! A NEW COVER !!!!

[@itsOasus]

This was very beautiful ❤

[@mechachoi]

GREAT COVER

[@amross2112]

This is so, SO much better than any of the versions in the game.

[@mythos12]

imagine liking something without shitting on something else!? crazy stuff

[@rasalghul7384]

very Peaceful :) nice Voice

[@DefenderX]

Awesome 🤟

[@Stillpate]

This is actually my favorite rendition of this song

[@SirBuljo]

ngl this version made me tear up.

[@Varizen87]

This song is absolutely Wuk Lamat's theme. Personally, I liked her character, and I enjoyed the feeling of being a mentor traveling with a Protégé. I appreciated how much you could actively see her grow from a naive ball of energy to someone who understood the weight of the position she strove for, and the consequences that came of it.

[@athras8822]

What consequences? There were no consequences for her. The Scions and WoL were there to bail her out every step of the way. Her growth would be much more shown if she were able to navigate Zone 5 and the politics of Solution Nine by herself, while Scions and WoL were to handle Zone 6 concurrently. By WoL babysitting her the entire way, it really really stifles her growths.

[@Josco83]

Don't feel bad, I like some bad things, too. For example, I really enjoyed Waterworld and don't care what anyone says.

[@gfsdfsdf6546]

@@Josco83 The thing is, i don't think Lamaty'i is bad to begin with. I feel the hatred really comes from just not vibing with her energy rather than her being particulary badly written.

[@klausvenus]

😅​@@Josco83

[@chaser952]

I love the positivity! Loved her story, too. And this performance is wonderful!!

[@張大黑-d7y]

very good, i like it

[@SewDough]

You put the original to shame. I'd love to do a lo-fi remix of this if you're down! :)

[@AlienneAshford]

Aaaa this is lovely!!

[@RixsEmporium]

Soooo good!

[@sudokujones8922]

I love it! ❤❤❤

[@zengrath]

Canada has so much talent, this is just more proof

[@masael255]

Wow! This is so much better than the original version, IMO! Amazing rendition!!

[@bathersbestie8986]

I hated SMILE until this version. I really hope that I don't have to hear the version we got any longer and maybe they'll implement your version ;)

[@NotTheWheel]

I need to get this woman into a broadway show or in a disney movie.

[@dodu8234]

I adore both this song and your cover, it does make me sad seeing all the distaste for it from others though

[@koissa6645]

😍😍😍

[@Josco83]

I'd have listened to the credits all the way through if this had been playing!

[@Deilais]

This is so good and you give the lyrics the justice they deserve. The original comes across as cheesy Disney montage that I feel didn't fit in very well in the game in the places that they used it, your version gives it the same gravity as "Tomorrow and Tomorrow" and "Flow", gravity I was really missing from one of the main themes of the game.

[@Bunnyone000]

😍

[@nickopkins]

I love this version. Your vocals are spectacular and not grating to my ears.

[@DaftGlassAlice]

Infinitely better than the original.

[@metaphorium1328]

Oh my god my ears aren’t being stabbed by the guilt of shutting down my gpu. The highs are softer and not painful to listen to. My opinion.

[@Jinkun2702]

Your version is leagues better than the original. You've got a wonderful voice!

[@obscuratea]

This version is better than the one we got in 14.. It would have fit way better with the cutscenes we got it in.

[@peachyesea9882]

this is such a beautiful cover, but man does it show that it was made before the official lyrics were released LOL

[@jonahsahn]

Hi is there sheet music for this!?

[@pinkkite9794]

SOO nice Better than the original IMO

[@SimplyKyou]

❤

[@Aitherea]

I felt like this song had so much potential, and i liked it all except for the chorus. Congratulations, you've "fixed" it and now I adore it wholeheartedly. You got me tearing up girl.

[@Dina_Teena]

this is what It should of sounded like

[@alibutterfly82]

Legitimately, I like your version better than the official one. And I think the high pitch of the song suits your voice better than the original vocal artist's.

[@Tenzou988]

Sphene!!!!!! Listen to me!!!!

[@Killerb567]

Ok this is way better and fits the game waaayyy better than that trash disney version.

[@_yiaz]

it's sad to notice that dawntrail didn't resonate with me, even having such a banger of a song. Flow's pealeaf version gave me goosebumps, but this one is just a good song

[@furuyafumikage]

I'm curious, what recording chain do you use? Especially the mic, it sounds so good

[@MaisieSqueak]

The vocalist they SHOULD have chosen.

[@reigningslashh]

this should have been the song that plays lol

[@Nesdude42]

I don't often subscribe but you are just that good.

[@GegeShenanigans]

Its not fair you should bé getting millions view

[@genocidegrand2057]

thx

[@LemonInYourEyes]

How do I replace the original with this in game...?

[@novasun1984]

🏵

[@girlmusic3500]

Like sleeping beauty good voice

[@auroraboracat26]

I think the singer in the originally was drowned out by the instrument and choir. Would love to hear an isolated version.

[@xenostrider]

When are you gonna get to do a song in 14!?

[@steakdriven]

My word this is infinitely better than what we got in the actual game

[@LastMinWin]

I want this on an orchestrion . _.

[@patrick8964]

This is so incredibly beautiful! I hope in the future you could also do vocals over the original track!!

[@GodisGood941]

Can u cover everglow from stellar blade? I think u would kill it

[@stnmtnbeatz]

sounds like hydaelyn herself is singing to me 😌 absolutely beautiful

[@eevris5895]

Waaay better than original

[@distantworlds3308]

Is this on I tunes?

I'd love to have you as a shitty Sage in my party bahahaha Awesome version, thanks Pea

Are you referring to valorant or am i tripping?

@@GodisGood941 You are tripping I'm afraid

[@smayuwushka]

the cover is beautiful but i prefer the original smile in ffxiv it's perfect how it is for me

[@snapple4pple]

Lmao better than the original

[@SpeedMechanic]

Damn you fixed the song

[@quan2three]

I would've cried at the end if I heard this version.

[@snarkvictory4425]

I thought I didn't like this song. I was mistaken.

[@heromafia2739]

I like your version more than the original one 🙂

[@tommy200401]

ngl, your version is better than the in-game one

[@thepainsight]

Better than the original by a country mile.

[@jordanio0825]

We should sign a petition to replace the original with your version.

[@gfsdfsdf6546]

Kinda wish the comments here were more possitive about the cover instead of just being used as an excuse to shit on the original song.

[@aerieleah533]

I dont hate the singer of the original, but it has a very church choir style which made me cringe a lot. Your version made me realize that is the choice that made the song one of my least favorites and definitely my least favorite theme song.
