This takes me back to 2016, being around 8 and watching Majora’s Mask let’s plays on my grandparent’s old ass computer. This game taught me the importance of time, and ever since, it has been teaching me the same thing even more. I reminisce so fondly on what it was like back then. But there’s not a song of time, or song of healing. There are no shortcuts, there are no skips, but you have more than 3 days anyway, so it doesn’t really matter. What a phenomenal cover.
Mark of Two - you are something very very special. The talent you have is extremely unique, and not everyone has the capability or potential to arrange the way that you do. I see you're on indefinite hiatus, and it breaks my heart. My only hope is that you are happy and very well. Thank you so much for this arrangement. The astral observatory is such a unique piece and your arrangement straddles the line between majesty and impending doom so poignantly you can feel it in your breath. A personal favorite LoZ theme of mine that often gets overlooked is blessed to be revisited by you with such love and care. Thank you again Mark of Two ❤
Yo dude, if u ever come back just know u helped me study and i would love to have a version of midnas lament from u. Also i do hope u come back bc i started writing music pieces bc of u :D
This is pleasant, not plain pleasant, the type that dances calmly and elegantly. You have completely transformed this beautiful song into a beautiful dance for the ears
I have been listening to this song for many years. It never gets old. Thank you so much for providing the sheet music for this arrangement. I am very grateful, fren.
Does anyone know if piano sheets are available for this? Im learning keyboard specifically because of Kiki kondos Zelda work and this is by far the best cover I’ve ever heard
I found this cover when I was 15 and I can recall every single instance I put this on in the background as I made vision boards each year since then. I’m turning 24 this year and I come back to this piece yearly as a way to check in and say hello to my past selves- the ones that were heartbroken, angsty, excited, hopeful, and determined- all of them live here with this piece. I remember being so moved by this at 15 and still, to this day, it will never fail to make me teary-eyed. There is so much love and hope that I feel each time I listen to this that is unmatched by almost every other song. The joyful determination in the beginning, the nearly heart-wrenching way that the slower, quieter parts when you play up the octave tug at the heart, the trepidation in the build up, and the euphoria of the payoff in the end will never fail to move me. So much has changed in my life, as I’m sure yours has, and it has not been change that has happened without grief. So much has changed but, my god, I am so grateful to have always had this piece to come back to again and again. I have envisioned lifetimes in this piece, have grieved and loved to this piece, have shown loved ones new, old, and ones that are no longer in my life this piece and I have described time and again how important this song is to me in an unfathomably foundational way. This year, I’m practicing to tell people the kind things I keep to myself out of fear that I’ll come across as too much. I figured leaving a comment to thank you for the work you’ve done, one that has given me so much love and joy and hope and comfort throughout the years, is as good of a place to start. So, thank you for your work and the love you so clearly poured into it. I will be listening to this, truly, forever.
I was filled with nostalgia the first time I listened to this, and each time I come back to it, the feeling is stronger. It made me realize that this song has been a part of different phases in my life, both good and bad. I look back to the person I used to be then with joy because of how much I've grown, but it also makes me sad remembering the people and places that have become nothing but a memory for me. It is scary to imagine how my future will look, who will stay, who won't, where I'll be, but I'm still hopeful about it. I hope to be in a better place next time I revisit this song so I can look at my present self with pride because of how far I got. I know it will be bittersweet as always though. Thank you so much for this beautiful piece, which many of us hold close to our hearts. ❤
Hey man, I just want you to know that this song is getting me through my depression. This cover was absolutely phenomenal, and is genuinely comforting me right now. I hope you come back one day and make another arrangement like this one. I know you’re facing the wonders of life right now, but take an extra eight years if you need to. I hope you aren’t dead, and you’re still alive. If you could, please at the very least heart and for extra reassurance give a reply saying I’m not dead. By the way, the art is good. I like the style. I hope you get through whatever is happening to you right now. :)
God there’s something so calming and nostalgic about this. It’s like looking back at a memory (it’s a little sad but makes you happy ya know). Truly just beautiful.
12 years ago, I listened to this song, I loved it that much that I played it on repeat while I slept. It became the reason why I got into music and thanks to that I have met incredible people, and found that thing that really fills me as a person and gives me happiness Thank you mark of two, for this amazing cover of the song of storms, it will always be in my heart
Just popping in to say I first heard this cover around 10 years ago, and I still consider it the gold standard I compare other versions of Song of Storms to. The variations on the theme feel natural, like they were always meant to be part of the piece. The original Song of Storms is like a windmill, "round and round," but this version takes me on a journey. It's no longer just "round and round," but also under and over and twisting and turning in beautiful ways. Masterful work, my good sir
