Yasunori Mitsuda - Secret of the Forest [Chrono Trigger]

[@vinesauce]

A breathtakingly beautiful song performed magnificently. Great instrumentation with the melodica too.

[@Minecraftvideosr]

Came from twitter, stayed for the awesome music.

[@PoopPoopFart]

vinesauce Hey, thanks man!

[@thepsynergist]

vinesauce This makes me want a melodica. I can play ocarina pretty well, but man, I have no money for instruments I want to learn to play.

[@javier7high]

***** dude, get a cheap melódica first... Get a better One when you learn to play it properly.

[@vlaeon]

vinesauce Good to see you here!

[@Vitrous]

The only problem with this theme is that it would take me two seconds to run through the environment where it plays. Often I'd just stand in the middle of the forest doing nothing, just so I could listen to the music in its entirety. I suspect I'm not the only one that does this.

[@ThePharphis]

[@aTerraxia]

PoopPoopFart Oh man, a collab with Smooth would be brilliant, especially if you did some sort of dueling banjos thing where you wnet back and forth doing parts of the song, and then maybe together at the end. I think I need to go change pants just thinking about it.

[@Radd1976]

Thank you for not embellishing the song. Just playing it straight. Splendid!

[@LanIost]

This is literally the greatest AND most accurate cover of ANY video game song I've EVER heard. All the little details that most people left out ... are left in. My mind is shattered. edit: ...k, I just realized your name is PoopPoopFart.

[@kangajohn]

breathtaking 💩💩💨

[@JosiahEverhart]

Yes.

[@PoopPoopFart]

boozinwalsh Walsh mah boi, I must formally thank you for introducing me to this piece, as the first time I heard it was when I watched your excellent version many months ago. Watching your version also made me extremely jealous of your E-bow, which I've always wanted to buy, but I can't bring myself to spend $100 on something that I'd probably only use like one time.

[@JosiahEverhart]

Hey, thanks, buddy! I got that E-bow for pretty cheap so I'm not sure I'd advocate spending a hundred bucks on one, haha. I've used it in maybe three of my videos. It is handy to have around though.

[@ThatBugBehindYou]

so happy you did this, I'm so tired of the "remixes" that just kill the feeling of the original.

[@QweRinatrtY]

@Lavos eh, his remix of corridors of time is still great, but nothing's ever going to top the original unfortunately

[@QweRinatrtY]

@Lavos which i've already heard, and I still stand by my point

[@gabrielcorreia6369]

@Lavos lol you here too

[@BlackCrossCrusader]

Good call. You're so right on this. Far too many remixes utterly dilute the sentiment behind the pieces they supposed to represent.

[@ThatBugBehindYou]

@@Ryan-Petre How gross you are to imply that what PPF does doesn't show his originality and his personal touch. You think a song has to be completely changed in it's meaning to show originality? It shows immense skill and love to recreate a song in a way that perfectly emulates the source like this and the fact that PPF is one of the few people on KZbin that can do it is testimony in itself.

[@Soundole]

Holy crap man, you absolutely nailed every part of this! Everything is so precise and well balanced. I am impressed beyond words.

[@THAPHENOMUBI]

The SNES was an absolute beast for it's DSP & musical instrument reproduction. "Chorono Trigger" was ahead of its time - this song on the game made me truly appreciate that system all over again. Thank you.

[@phamhaibang3765]

Best original cover version! Sound from 1995, when we didn’t have internet...

[@Nemesiz238]

Escuchar tu interpretación me lleva al pasado. Cuando era feliz sin saberlo. Cuando no faltaba nadie en la mesa. Cuando podía decir voy a ver a mis abuelitos y mis ojos se empañan. Muchas gracias por tu vídeo.

[@thesatsumonster]

Listening to your covers is mentally healing.

[@PoopPoopFart]

KevinHilt I agree, I love that section! That's the part of the composition that made me want to record this piece. I love how much funk is conveyed with two relatively simple parts. And yeah, it appears that I'm sticking with this name. I was going to change it, but then I did some research and found that Google has been known to automatically ban users simply because they changed their screen name. So I figured I'd play it safe and just keep the name that I have.

[@wieldersilver4716]

PoopPoopFart i'd love to see aquatic ambiance from DK country and some music from Xenoblade chronicles!

[@ObliviousCrow]

PoopPoopFart Can I have the bass tabs please?

[@Freezepixels]

Please brother, bring us Aquatic ambiance

[@timothygarcia8721]

+PoopPoopFart I have to say, I bet you would get 10x the views if you have a different screen name. I guess that just means that we all need to spread the word so everyone can share in your awesomeness!

[@strawhat9320]

+PoopPoopFart i must say i have watched a lot of covers from the games that i have played. yours are so spot on if i close my eyes i can picture everything going on at that moment of the game. You do an excellent job at what you do not many are that skilled at sounding so spot on. keep up the great work. maybe look into to the suikoden series for some new covers

[@RealTDragon]

Taking me back to the past, great job!!

[@thedukeofdorks6001]

The bass line in this song changed my life.

[@silverfr3ak]

Real instruments, but sounding just like the original tune! And that's not a offense, but actually a compliment! Great job!

[@MaximumPasta]

Who could possibly waste their time disliking this video. This is a beautiful rendition. Thank you for making this.

[@Lee-One]

not anymore hehehe... wait that's not a good thing.

[@glennmcfarlane7143]

I have never seen/heard a better cover before, and probably never will see an improvement on this from anybody; the bar you hav set is unreasonably high - I'd go so far as to say this is the magnum opus of Secret of the Forest covers. I can't even put the amount of praise I want to give you into words; this is absolutely PERFECT!

[@soloM81]

lol I agree its the best its the gold stander of Secret of the Forest covers good luck to anybody trying dethrone him on this cover

[@darrenc2370]

it's almost perfect. The only thing that ruined the piece i would say is the instrument at 1:02 It sounded quite off from the original

Real talk: When this came on in the background, I thought somehow a SNES emulator had spontaneously downloaded itself along with a Chrono Trigger ROM and started up somewhere in one of the forest areas. Absolutely perfect.

[@ThatBugBehindYou]

It's so nice to see someone play a song on real instruments, there are so many videos that you have to go through now days where you have to hear someone's remix of a good song just to get some real instruments...

[@lyontj7982]

These bass lines are always made me nearly cry. One of the most beautiful songs of this game.

[@HouseGhost1]

[@Bluebomberimo]

This is by far one of if not THE most amazing cover of this song I've heard, another song you've done AMAZING justice to. It's absolutely amazing, even before I was 1 minute into listening I was entranced. Not only that but how you set up the lighting and overall feel of the editing in the video really added to it, really set the mood for me.

[@archetypeknight771]

People have already said it but this truly is the definitive cover of this song. The creative choice to make the harp arpeggio less reverbed really adds an extra layer of mystery to the song. The percussion is gentle and subtle but clearly those unique instruments were carefully chosen. Finally, the organic bass playing adds so much mood that MIDI instruments can't quite capture. Honestly, I hope Yasinori Matsuda has heard this.

[@Romess1]

Stickerbrush Symphony: "Here, have some melancholous nostalgia" Secret of the Forest: "Hold my beer"

[@YummyBananaFish]

One of the greatest pieces from one of the greatest soundtracks of all time. Completely done justice here sir; as always, careful and thoughtful work.

[@YummyBananaFish]

Also, since some nerds here are likely to know: I've discovered easily that Noriko Matsueda's contribution to CT was the first boss theme, but I've had no luck at all finding out which tracks (supposedly ten in total) Uematsu wrote after Mitsuda became too ill to work. Does anyone know? Some guys might have even been able to distinguish his tunes by familiarity with his style, I dunno. EDIT - Answered here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Chrono_Trigger

A lot of people say 1:44 is their favorite part and I can see why. Personally 1:20 is my favorite part (beautifully contrasted with the 1:44 section though). The emotional intensity of the song, and the surreal chords played on the second of every four measures in this part*, are two specific reasons I love this so much *count 1-16 on the downbeats and pay attention to 5, 6, 7, 8
