~~VIDEO INFO~~
Song: "Fear of the Heavens" / "Where Angels Fear to Tread" (main opening themes)
Games: Secret of Mana & Trials of Mana
Performed by Jillian Aversa
Arranged by Andrew & Jillian Aversa
Original Composer: Hiroki Kikuta
So excited to share with you my first new music video in two and a half years! To celebrate the new Trials of Mana remake, this is a reimagining of the opening themes to Secret of Mana and Trials of Mana - both soundtracks composed by the legendary Hiroki Kikuta. I have had the honor of working with him on two occasions (check out "Touhou Zerokyo Kitan" and the "Indivisible" game soundtrack!), but this arrangement with Andrew "zircon" Aversa will come as a surprise.
I've written lyrics from the perspective of the Mana Tree itself - a tree comprised of the many souls of past women from the Mana Tribe. So if you're wondering why my costume renders me woodsy and tall, there's your answer! ;)
The video was filmed by Andrew and edited by yours truly. We had to work under the constraints of our own limited experience, but lockdown times come for lockdown measures. I am still very pleased with how it turned out, and hope you will enjoy!

~~LYRICS~~
Falling leaves, so soft upon the wind -
Feel the breeze, that brush upon your skin.
Where the sunlight falls,
You'll hear another song:
The song of every soul in me.
Listen now to the sound of the wood.
Hollowed out, but here is where I stood.
When the new growth comes,
You'll hear another song:
The song of every soul in me.
(Whispering, knowing
Needing, showing
Calling, blowing
Thriving, growing)
In the darkest times you'll hear me.
Take my words and do not fear the ever asking, ever trying
Order of a world that's cries in desperation.
It's our creation now.
