I'm going through the top 20 Favorite Video Game Songs of all time as voted on by my community. This came in at number 4!
Now this is just a treat for me, I won't lie. I did this song all the way back in 2011 and I still have people say they listen to it regularly which is so flattering, but I knew I could do it way better when I saw it so high up on the list. The first thing I did before working on it was check the comments of that cover and see what people wanted more from it and the response overwhelmingly was THE CHOIR. This was very difficult for me at the time since it was only me at the time and I had no idea how to make it sound good.
Now the difference is that there is no difference, but I have the power of 12ish more years of experience behind me. I was able to sing all the male parts multiple times in different timbres and had Elana Fuentes (from the recent Weight of the World cover) do the female vocals similiarly and we ended up in a really cool place. I hope it fills the void that the first one had.
I had a bit of fun with the arrangement in the first cover, but this time I really leaned into not changing it up in hopes that I could make it sound even heavier by just drilling the hypnotic hits with no added synchopation to obfuscate it.
I used quite a few tricks, including doubling and octave pitching down all single note rhythm guitar parts using the amazing pitch shifter on the Petrucci model of Neural DSP, while keeping the main rhythm sound the Mesa Boogie Neural DSP which this is my first time using it in a cover! I really leaned into that since there's so many Dream Theater-esque riffs in this song. I'm happy where I landed with that.
We're getting into divinely prolific video game music here so there's a ton of pressure to get it right. I really hope I hit the mark on this one because it's insanely fun to play and was just a joy to put together for you guys this week.
Thanks so much for watching! This is the 4th highest song on list of your most favorite video game songs. Subscribe if you haven't already and see the absolute top video game songs of all time!
