Death Cab for Cutie Orchestration

[tweek]

I was contacted by a professor of mine to orchestrate a song by Death Cab for Cutie called "I'll Follow You Into the Dark" for a movie he's directing. The original is only guitar and vocals, so all the orchestration you'll hear is mine. I'm very happy with how well it turned out!

Enjoy!

I was like "uh oh" when you mentioned this song, but lol! You did it the exact same way I was hoping it would be like. I just learned to play this song on guitar (my first song ever) and absolutely love it. Anyway, nice. Thanks for not completely dominating the song with orchestration.

Looks like I hear a french singer singing in english... translation: I dislike.

Sorry, but I can't bear that kind of music. So it's perfect for a film :-P

I was thinking about doing something similar with this song some time ago. Needless to say, yours is infinitely better than anything I could have pulled off. Very nice indeed!
edit: I shared it with a few friends outside of OCR. Credit was given, of course. Hope you don't mind.
