Game: Super Metroid
Source Theme: Maridia Rocky Underwater Area
Original Composers: Kenji Yamamoto, Minako Hamano
System: SNES
This track was created for a friend as part of a musical "get well" project. My husband and I developed the arrangement together, doing the entire mix from planning to mastering in the span of a single 48 hour marathon session (sleep included, of course)! It is probably the darkest piece I have been involved in thus far, and a collaboration that I'm very proud of.

~~Lyrics~~
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."
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.
The kindred night,
The kindred night
Holds me here,
Holds me close,
And I live for the sight.

I'll never forget finding this remix on oc remix all those years ago and man does it still hold up

[@bitter-bit]

Haven't heard this since my youth. Missed it so much.

[@burnedraventales6030]

Why you dont have more views is beyond me, your stuff should be way more popular.

[@ASCENSiON_]

Found this on a Brad Taste In Music song request stream, and I can't stop listening to it. The vocals are easily the best part of the entire experience!

[@NegativePlazma]

The first time or two I heard this it didn't seem all that special.. now I've listened to it about several more times.. it just gets more amazing each time

[@FunnyFany]

Sent here by a fellow musician. And goodness, I'm glad he pointed me towards it. This track is so chill and dark, I loved it.

[@RebeccaETripp]

I love how much creativity you put into these!

[@MarkVegaX]

This is an amazing track.

[@Scotl]

Это лучший кавер на Meridia, который можно было создать 🙏

[@SabrielOrion]

I've loved this song ever since I first heard it. :D

[@lysanderxx1664]

A hauntingly beautiful song. Love it!

[@SabiMixx]

reminds me when i was young, great music

[@thekeefer690]

I cant believe I never found this before, its Magnificent !! Subbed.

[@rebeccatripp36]

It's nice to come back to this one. It's been a while! It's just a lovely as I remembered. ^_^ I really love the gossamer textures you produce. I can hear the Vollenweider influence! :D

[@dtjackson1647]

Oh my gosh, that haunting laughter at 0:50 gives me chills down my spine!

[@NovuscourvousTornflesh]

i never even noticed that before

[@scipion3679]

Draygon laughing… And god this is so subtle I had to listen several times to hear it, I think

[@rainmanbk1]

I am convinced its the Happy Mask Salesman....!

[@Bangcat]

Like the screeching opening and double slam of metal like an industrial mail box being opened and door let go to shut again, my jaw dropped as I watched on and listened to the sheer amounts of awesome. Scythe Beasts Chapter approves.

[@fossilfern]

I've had this song on my PC for a while now and its still the best Metroid mix yet! its like being teleported back in time to 1994 :D never forget them days :)

[@Composer1992]

Wow, this sounds really amazing. Kudos!

[@kindredanon]

Ha! I thought I recognized your voice when I ran across another of your videos, and sure enough. This is the song I remember! Still a good one.

[@MikeSikalCreative]

This was really beautiful :') Nice work! Thumbs up x1000

[@x0x0Virus]

Probably my favorite OC remix ever ♥

[@dangerfindertreasureseeker8905]

Gave me chills, love to see you do music for future metroid titles.

[@thewinterprince1731]

Easily one of my favorite songs of all time here. I'm inspired to write something deep and impressive to go alongside it, but I cant work out a story. The only image coming to mind is a lord of the deep sea wading out of the waters.

[@ColonelPatchy1]

Wow, I've always wanted to rearrange that stage music... It makes you feel so alone and creeped out. Awesome job!!

[@sloytary97]

i love your music i feel an incredibly peace when i listen to it

[@Sphendrana]

oh wow I first heard a remix of this on the Chozo Legacy album! Still my favorite!

[@Sir_CrimsonEX]

Its been so long since I've heard this! Your voice is something else

[@Mc.Scrumpy]

[@L8onL8on]

Fantastic track and video! Favorited. I must go play Fusion now. I never have but now I must.

[@Bangcat]

Really would like to see game companies finally step up and do what I've been saying they should for years. Giving these great artists who put pure love into remaking these classics and giving them chance and credit while being honoured in becoming the next to have their music as the OST tracks of sequels to come.

[@orochinagis]

Didnt know you sang this song, thats my favorite remixed song of Metroid because your voice.

[@shadowflame68]

This has become one of my favorite songs, which means you've beaten out a -lot- of major artists for me. You have incredible talent, consider me a solid fan, I'll be checking out everything else you do.

[@najeebenton862]

[@C4llM33rrol]

[@BGAMESBrasil]

Super Metroid is Digital Art!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!

[@Truttle]

I like your Macarena of Time song, but I absolutely love this one. Captures the tone and feel of Maridia perfectly. (Thumbs up if you killed Draygon with the Grapple Beam trick)

[@Darozuma]

OMG thats amazing :O

[@CJTheMusicDude]

Amazing stuff. :)

[@H2OPLIMpies]

[@kirahigurashi]

[@mcce7845]

[@blacksun3885]

Thank you for this. I think this song truly captures what Samus feels inside, wondrous and hopeful yet crushing loneliness.

[@kyokusanagui2006]

Very Nice Voice, I like very much ...

Wish more people realised how awesome the metroid soundtrack is.

[@Uncle_Aura]

Ok, I really don't like my remixes with lyrics, but this is incredible.

[@Oniphire]

I'd question any doctors who found something wrong with ear-rections from such great music.

[@djkabraDJKABRA]

du bist das beste

[@internalreality]

i fell in love with your voice Jillian, just so you know..

[@NightmareWeaver91]

@transformersvoice +1, for all accounts. Glad for the invite as well

[@BeyKex]

@The69thEye They're four now, so I think it is Mother Brain, Ridley, Kraid and Draygon

[@NickeyNarioaHagman]

Excellent song with an excellent video. I can't believe this even has a dislike. :( ~Nario

[@noahk30188]
